Black Water Ghost Butterfly
Everything was done naturally when controlling the Zerg. For example, in Su Yu's eyes, even if he couldn't see where the Zerg was, as long as he wanted to know, the Zerg would appear in his mind like a firefly in the dark night, extremely bright, and guide him to find it.
He brought the mantises and other Zerg to the place where the bee mosquito called him.
This place was just as the bee mosquito saw, with dense trees and two half-buried boulders. When Su Yu came here, he took the boulder as the center and looked around carefully. Because of the dense trees, the leaves here were more luxuriant than elsewhere. Su Yu guessed that the light in this place during the day might be darker than elsewhere.
This was not a problem for Su Yu, or rather, it was better this way.
A dark environment would naturally make people feel a sense of resistance. Only a few creatures like this environment, and most intelligent creatures still pursue light. In other words, in addition to concealment, this place also adds a layer of insurance.
[King, use mental power to build the base this time ba.] The system said cautiously, it recalled the situation when the base was built last time, because Su Yu had just been exposed to mental power at that time, and only had a small wisp. Not to mention building a base, controlling Zerg required resting from time to time, and could only use methods that hurt himself. Seeing this, it had only one idea at the time, uncomfortable.
'Mmh, this time use mental power to expand the base.' Su Yu's reply reassured the system.
Now that mental power has already been expanded, it can't be said to be perfectly controlled, but it is still proficient. In this case, Su Yu certainly won't choose to cut wrists and bleed. The repair ability of Zerg is indeed strong, but it doesn't mean that there will be no pain.
[Do you want to build a medium-level base this time ma?] The system asked.
'Mmh.' Su Yu touched his right wrist, which was the location of the Iron Blood Vine. The mechanical maze and the scene of the Iron Blood Vine attacking the orcs made him know that the gap in strength between low-level Zerg and medium-level Zerg is like a natural moat. This is not something that low-level Zerg can catch up with with effort. There is an irreparable gap in strength between them.
[The energy structure of a medium-level base is very demanding, and the energy required to hatch a medium-level Zerg is also very high. Are you sure ma? King, why don't you build a low-level base ba, hatch a medium-level Zerg by abandoning the low-level base.] The system knows that Su Yu's energy is not abundant now. Although he made a lot of money from the high-level energy stones before, it is still not enough to consume it.
The system feels sad. Under normal circumstances, the places where Zerg Queen can be born are places with abundant energy. As long as the Queen is born, she can immediately replenish enough energy to hatch a large number of low-level Zerg soldiers for herself. Then she only needs to wait for the energy stones to be offered by Zerg soldiers, then step by step become a virtuous cycle.
Unlike its King... born on such a barren planet.
Energy stones have to be picked up by himself, and he have to participate in this dangerous Interstellar Tournament! The system is very sad, thinking with melancholy that when future Zerg Generals will know these tragic pasts, it will definitly be very painful ba.
Su Yu didn't know what the system was thinking, and he didn't feel how pitiful he was.
As for the system's suggestion to build a low-level base and abandon a low-level base to hatch a medium-level Zerg, Su Yu never considered it again. This is purely a gambler's behavior, and it is very likely that he will get nothing. Su Yu's character is still inclined to bet for stability. Only when the situation is extreme and there is some certainty will he choose to go all out and gamble once.
Without answering the system, Su Yu closed his eyes and leaned against the boulder to rest.
The huge, like-substantial mental power overflowed from Su Yu's body, dense and heavy. If people from other civilizations stood here, they would feel a silent sense of suffocation. This is mental power deterrence. I am afraid they will feel extremely depressed. Mental power deterrence is not surprising, but what is shocking is that as an intelligent life that has not been exposed to mental power civilization, how can he do this?
How to use mental power to build a Zerg base, this question, the system has told Su Yu many times, first conceive the appearance of the base, turn the mental power into bricks and tiles, lay it on little by little, that's it.
This process can be briefly described in one sentence, but it is extremely difficult to actually operate it. Su Yu thought he was familiar with the control of mental power, but when he really used mental power, he still felt at a loss, a feeling of having no idea where to start.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Yu finally found some feeling.
The mental power, like a headless fly, finally found an outlet and poured out impatiently.
Under the land, in a place that was invisible to the eye, the soil was stirred vigorously by the mental power, forming a vortex shape, and in the center of the vortex, gradually, a drop of crimson dots like dewdrops condensed. This little red dot was very overbearing. As soon as it appeared, it dyed the land around it red in a few seconds, or in other words, this was called swallowing.
After a while, the ground below almost turned into a pool of blood. Finally, changes began to appear on the land. The crimson liquid seeped out from the ground, as if consciously outlining an irregular circle. Then, the outer edge of the circle began to rise, forming a barrier.
Blood-red water gushed out from the ground, quickly filling the entire pool. Almost in the blink of an eye, the pool was overflowing.
At this time, Su Yu felt extremely uncomfortable, and his head was splitting. This was the first time he tried to use mental power to build a Zerg base. He had no experience and quickly drained his mental power. Even if he used energy to convert mental power, the speed could not keep up. Now he was in a negative state of mental power overdraft.
Sitting on the edge of the rising energy pool, Su Yu slowly eased this feeling.
Fortunately, although the mental power consumption was large, he succeeded. In any case, the result was good.
[What is this? What happened? Where am I? Who are you?]
[Be calm, don't be so ignorant. There are many interstellar civilizations that can do this. This depends on the power system. Maybe Earth civilization has a more unique power system ba.]
[This... As far as I know, the ability of intelligent life in Earth civilization is to control natural elements such as water and fire ba. This is the most evolved energy system in the interstellar. There is no this kind.]
[How long has Earth civilization been in the Interstellar Alliance? It is impossible to understand so clearly. I guess Earth civilization has other things besides the element system. Isn't Su Yu's ability to control bugs ma? Maybe he is a unique one. This blood pool also appeared in the last game, and Su Yu's bugs crawled out of it.]
The live broadcast room discussed calmly. Given that the power systems of various civilizations are slightly different, and the ways of expressing power are also different, the audience was not surprised by the sudden appearance of the blood pool. Moreover, this blood pool had already appeared in the last round of games, they were very familiar with it.
Su Yu remembered the blue tube liquid in the space storage device in the torment of headache. The mental potion obtained in the mechanical maze in the last game might be helpful now.
He reluctantly used a little more mental power, the pain doubled, there was an extra tube of liquid in his palm.
He opened the lid and drank it in one breath.
Worthy of its high price, the effect is remarkable. Almost a second after Su Yu drank it, the pain that was about to explode began to heal. After a while, Su Yu was no longer as painful as when his mental power was completely overdrawn just now. A specific memory flowed into Su Yu's mind like a tide, just like the situation when building a low-level base. This section is a heritance memory containing all the information of the medium-level Zerg.
Su Yu simply flipped through this heritance memory, his firm choice was indeed right.
The system digitized Zerg information interface was called up in his mind.
[Bee Mosquito: Energy required 10]
[Flower Explosion Bug: Energy required 20]
[Soldier Worker Ant...]
The medium Zerg base can hatch low-level Zerg at the same time, so the hatching list still lists the low-level Zerg table. After roughly scanning the upper list, Su Yu's eyes stayed on the extra Zerg information below. These are the medium-level Zerg. When he saw the energy required for hatching at the back, he was silent.
[Black Water Ghost Butterfly: Energy Required 3 000]
[Shadow Bug: Energy Required 1 000]
[Brain Gu: Energy Required 2 000]
[Golden Water Scorpion: Energy Required 3 000]
[Firebird Spider: Energy Required 4 000]
[Ice Bone Spider: Energy Required 4 000]
[Mist Bee: Energy Required 500]
[Nest Bug: Energy Required 10 000]
[Iron Blood Vine Bug: Energy Required 6 000]
[Moon Limb Snake Bug: Energy Required 5 000]
Su Yu: "…" Compared to the low-level Zerg, the number of medium-level Zerg has almost doubled.
The most important thing is that he had been mentally prepared for the energy required to hatch an medium-level Zerg, and knew that it might be a lot. But before opening this page, he still couldn't imagine that there would be so many, and the lists of these Zergs were arranged together, the contrast suddenly became more intense and abrupt. The energy values in the front were still tens or hundreds, and the energy values in the back directly turned to thousands, there was even one in ten thousand.
His eyes moved down and stopped at the column of the iron blood vine bug. The energy required for hatching was actually 6 000. Su Yu finally had a clear sense of his luck. He actually hatched it with only a low-level base and a mere one thousand energy. This gap was really amazing.
Even though Su Yu was calm, at this moment, he couldn't help but have an idea of... another attempt. In fact, once the attempt was successful, the profit brought by doubling was too great, enough to shake people's minds. In the end, Su Yu still kept his mind and gave up this operation. He couldn't trust luck, and he had a hunch that he would fail, just like he felt that he would succeed at the beginning.
Su Yu didn't know that his choice was actually right.
Su Yu was able to hatch successfully not only because of luck, but also because of other factors. This is a kind of self-protection of the Zerg. When there are not many Zergs protecting the Zerg Queen, hatching medium-level Zergs across level in a low-level base will increase the success rate. Similarly, hatching high-level Zergs across level in a medium-level base will also increase the success rate. The system does not know this because the Zerg Queen has never been in such a desperate need for energy in the past. If Su Yu chooses gamble this time, the ending may not be very good.
At this time, Su Yu looked at the list of intermediate Zergs in front of him and began to think.
[Energy posseded 6 300] This is the energy he can use shown in the upper right corner.
In the last game, Su Yu's remaining energy was 3 000, but now it is 6 300. Although the energy value has only increased by 3 300, the jadeite raw stones consumed are huge. Yes, these 3 300 are all provided by the jadeite raw stones on the earth.
With so much energy, it is naturally impossible for Su Yu to eat jade alone.
During the rest period on Earth, Su Yu went to Congshui Mountain Range once, where he built a low-level Zerg base. At the same time, the country sent him a large amount of jadeite raw stones. Su Yu directly asked the mantises and the soldier worker ant to throw these jadeite stones into the blood pool, which accumulated so much energy.
He thought it was enough, but didn't expect...
It's useless to think too much. Su Yu finally chose to hatch the top three medium-level Zergs, namely Black Water Ghost Butterfly, Shadow Bug, and Brain Gu. The abilities of these three medium-level Zergs are not focused on attack, so the hatching energy is not high compared to other Zergs. Even so, it took Su Yu's 6 000 energy points at once.
There are still 300 left. After thinking about it, Su Yu hatched six more bee mosquitoes and two flower explosion bugs, which used up another 100 energy points. Su Yu didn't plan to move the last 200 energy points and kept them as backup energy.
After making the choice, the blood pool entered hatching.
Su Yu leaned against the edge of the pool, his head still aching slightly, he temporarily relaxed his body and entered a state of rest.
The difference between the medium-level Zerg base and the low-level Zerg base is not just in appearance. Under the ground, there is a huge blood pool hidden, which covers an area far larger than the size of the blood pool shown on the surface. Under the influence of the underground blood pool, the grass and trees in the area covered by it are gradually changing. This is the horror of the base. It will assimilate the surrounding environment and become irritable and aggressive.
When Su Yu rested, the mantises and the soldier worker ant were guarding on the outside, and the four bee mosquitoes were also patrolling around.
When Su Yu regained consciousness from his shallow sleep, the light in the Forest of Lies became brighter. It was dawn. With his eyelashes trembling slightly, Su Yu opened his eyes and saw a butterfly resting in front of him.
As if startled by his movements, the butterfly flew up in panic, but was reluctant to fly far away, and fluttered around Su Yu hesitantly.
The color of the butterfly is very dreamy. The wings are generally light blue, with gold lines hooking the edges of the wings. There is also a golden blue dot in the center of the upper and lower wings. If you look closely, you will find that there is a smaller dot in the middle of the origin, like a human pupil. It is also because of the beautiful color that it does not look scary.
Su Yu raised his hand as if he was bewitched by the beauty of the butterfly.
The golden blue dreamy butterfly gently landed on the back of Su Yu's hand, and the wings trembled slightly, fragile and charming.
[Ahhhhhhh what kind of insect is this, God a, it is so beautiful, I am moved!]
[Suddently there is such a beautiful insect, my three immortals souls are confused and my seven mortals forms are gone
[Although, what the hell is the previous want to marry? No matter how beautiful this is, it is just a bug ba.]
[You have to understand that our Interstellar Alliance brings together many civilizations and has been open to the extreme. Let alone interspecies love, even unconscious love is fine. Why are you making a fuss? Where did you, antique, come from?]
Reality has proved that beauty is universal, and the audience in the live broadcast room are also fascinated by the beauty of the butterfly.
But who would have thought that such a beautiful butterfly actually has a terrible name that does not match its appearance, 'Black Water Ghost Butterfly', and this little cutie is still carnivorous.
After taking a good look at this beautiful butterfly, Su Yu raised his hand again, the meaning was clear. The Black Water Ghost Butterfly flew up reluctantly, after flying around Su Yu, it pretended to be careless and landed on Su Yu's shoulder.
Looking at the Black Water Ghost Butterfly, Su Yu acquiesced to this behavior. Who can refuse such a beautiful little cutie ne?
[...] Zerg Generals can refuse, and can even tear the butterfly apart on the spot, tearing dozens of them at a time is no problem. Oh, not only Zerg Generals, but other Zergs can also do it, as long as they can beat them, the system whispered.
The Black Water Ghost Butterfly, which consumes the most energy, has already hatched, and other Zergs have naturally all come out. Su Yu's eyes passed over the six Bee Mosquitoes, picked up two Flower Explosion Bugs, and finally fell on the Shadow Bug and Brain Gu.
In fact, among the three Zergs that have hatched, the one he is most looking forward to is not the Black Water Ghost Butterfly with the highest energy, but these two Zergs. The high or low hatching energy may indeed distinguish the strength and weakness of the Zerg, but their abilities cannot be underestimated because of this.
Since receiving the inheritance memory, Su Yu has felt that the abilities of Shadow Bug and Brain Gu are very useful, especially when they work together and complement each other. Perhaps the effect is not as simple as one plus one equals two, so when he found that the hatching energy of these two Zergs is not high, he chose them without hesitation.
The two Zergs are very small, about the size of a melon seed.
Su Yu picked it up and put it in his coat pocket, then looked around. Just as he thought yesterday, the trees here are dense and the light is darker than other places.
He stood up and stretched his body. A new day began. He didn't know if he could meet other contestants today. After hatching three medium-level Zergs, Zerg's confidence. Although the shadow bugs and gu bugs were disposable, there was also a black water ghost butterfly. He tilted his head slightly and looked at the butterfly on his shoulder. It was motionless and really looked like a decorative prop. This was a group attack weapon.
Leaving two bee mosquitoes to monitor around the Zerg base, Su Yu took the other Zergs away and continued to collect information.
What you think, what you get. After leaving the base and moving forward, maybe half an hour later, Su Yu encountered a lie fruit and a contestant who looked familiar but was not familiar.
"It's you!!!" The pink-haired girl jumped back a step.
"Hello, we meet again." Su Yu politely took the initiative to say hello. After all, they had done business before, and this customer was very straightforward. She even sent a spaceship to Earth after the game, just to fulfill her promise and give Su Yu a star card with 100 000 star coins.
"I'm not good
