Chapter 513： Giant spire

The three people were pushed all the way up under the push of the water, and they were close to the surface in about two hours. According to the data from the detector, the current position was more than 3000 meters away from the water.

Tang Fang planned to summon the king insect as soon as he arrived at the mouth of the Changhe River. As long as three people drilled inside, according to the analysis data of the experiment conducted when he first came to "Acron", the underwater environment at a depth of 5000 meters was not enough. In order to bring damage to large Zerg units like King Insect.

At this moment, Emma sent an emergency message, and a huge number of aqbd-1 asexual jellyfish communities were found in the area 1000 meters ahead.

This surprised him. The living environment of the aqbd-1 asexual jellyfish body is the strong acid ocean on the surface of Akron. The long river is obviously freshwater and the water pressure is extremely high. How do they overcome the thrust and enter countercurrently? Of the river?

Emma told him that these jellyfish bodies did not enter the river channel through the spout that connects the long river with the ocean, but appeared from the inside of the river channel and entered the strong acid ocean under the push of flowing water.

This can't help making him more puzzled, what does "her" mean.

Emma sent a topographical cross-section map, which marked the gathering place of aqbd-1 asexual jellyfish and their source--a tributary.

On that topographical profile, the long river has a bifurcation at a distance of 200 meters from the bottom of the sea. The main road still connects straight up to the strong acid ocean, while the other bifurcated channel is very narrow, only about 3 meters wide, spreading diagonally upwards to the nearby ocean. The foot of a volcano in the mid-ridge area.

Tang Fang thought about it for a moment and decided to take a look, so he informed the two people of this situation, swam to a stone wall not far from the bifurcated river, fixed his body to prevent the water from washing away, and directed the detector to bypass the group of species. The jellyfish body enters the bifurcated river.

After a few minutes. An image of the scene came from the detector. After viewing it, he ordered the two people to wait while he left the stone wall. Summon another detector to act as an underwater submarine, bypassing the jellyfish-like bodies floating like clouds. Enter the forked river.

The water temperature gradually rises. As time goes by, it gets closer and closer to the foot of the volcano. After a while, it reaches the end of the bifurcated river and enters a huge cave filled with fresh water and a height of over 100 meters.

Tang Fang swam to the direction close to the crater, summoning a protoss transport plane in his mind. The dazzling light illuminates the gloomy underwater world, and most of the cave is reflected in the water, and an object on the innermost stone wall is shining with silver.

It was a huge shellfish, half embedded in the stone wall and half exposed in the water. It looked like a woolen hat worn in winter, with a narrow top and a wide bottom, with irregular gray spots on its silver-white surface.

Stimulated by the strong light of the Protoss transporter, the fold-like fleshy tissue at the opening of the shellfish quickly retracted inward, biting like teeth. An aqbd-1 asexual jellyfish body that had just been spit out half was swallowed back.

It turns out that "Akron" not only has aqbd-1 asexual jellyfish, "tree monsters", and such huge shellfish.

Since seeing the "tree fairy", he has always believed that the acidic substances in the strong acid ocean and many jellyfish-like bodies originated from the "tree fairy". But it does not seem to be the case now. The aqbd-1 asexual jellyfish body was bred from the giant shellfish in front of us, and it was just confirmed that when the "Acron" investigated, Emma said that "5000-8000 meters is aqbd-1" "Asexual jellyfish are distributed in dense areas".

According to Emma’s geological analysis report on the surrounding rock formations of the cave, the huge shellfish in front of us is between the volcanic mountain road and the long river channel. It should be based on the heat-resistant properties of the shells. The concentration is zero. On the one hand, it relies on the water flow in the waterway to cool down and nourish the body, and breed jellyfish-like bodies.

Tang Fang suddenly developed a feeling of admiration for epic creatures such as "tree demon" and "evil eye". They are the most tenacious life forms in this universe, as long as the planets that they stray have zero elements. Can survive.

Of course, admire belongs to admire. He didn't want to be friends with these guys, and immediately summoned 4 zealots to swim around the shell creature and use the psionic blade to attack.

Compared with the "tree monster", the shell creature is much smaller, only about 40 meters, but the hardness of the shell is not inferior to the stone armor on the surface of the "tree monster". It is even more powerful than the stone armor. It can only cause some slight scratches, and can not submerge into the shell, which may also be related to the underwater environment.

The appearance of the psionic blade brought turbulence to the cave, a large amount of fresh water was evaporated, and the turbulent airflow formed a foam storm, which quickly spread to the surroundings.

The shell creature opened its mouth at an extremely fast speed, and a milky white shadow flashed by inadvertently. The nearest fanatic was wrapped around his ankle, pulled into the gap between the shells, and quickly closed.

After a few breaths, Tang Fang found that he had lost contact with the fanatic, and he was dead.

He was surprised. He originally thought that the zealots would have to struggle and even cause some damage to the shell creatures. He didn't expect to be obliterated with just a few breaths.

Gurgle...

There was a muffled noise not far away, and the shell creature spit out the zealot’s battle armor. Tang Fang had already gotten into the protoss transport plane. He didn’t want to become the ration of shell creatures like the zealot. He was going to swallow relics like the lower armor, I was afraid that there would be no bone residue left.

In a blink of an eye, another fanatic was swept away by the shell creature, leaving only a pair of battle armors.

Commanding the protoss transport plane to retreat to the entrance of the cave, he summoned a Corruptor and spewed parasitic spores at the shell creature. The result was similar to the psionic blade of the fanatic, and it had no effect. Fortunately, the size of the Corruptor was big enough, and the shell creature could not resemble it. To deal with the zealots, deal with the corrupted ones. Although the milky white object shot from the mouth is enough to pull the prey, but the speed is not fast enough. The sour saliva ejected by the corrupted ones enters the interior through the gaps between the shells, causing severe damage to it at once, and the enthusiasts take the opportunity to swing The psionic blade cut the milky white object in two pieces.

At this time, Tang Fang finally saw the origin of the milky white object. It turned out to be a flexible texture similar to mussel meat.

After this incident, the shell creature was frightened and played the tactics of tortoise. Not dare to open his mouth easily.

Tang Fang took the corrupted back, thought about it for a moment, bit his teeth, and got out of the protoss transporter. More zealots were released to attract the attention of the shell creatures on the front, and he detoured back to the innermost part of the cave. Lifting up the high-frequency sword made by the blood wolf warrior, inject a large number of electrons that oscillate faster than the speed of light, and force it down.

Bubbles sprayed out, and the water molecules around the high-frequency sword "evaporated" all at once, and the arc of the blade's fluctuating arc drilled a crack on the surface of the hard shell. The one-meter-long high-frequency sword was like a knife pierced through sandpaper, giving out an ear-piercing The sound became more dull in the water and spread out.

The high frequency sword passed. The water vapor surged and the shell cracked, and he was born on top of the shell creature's head to open a "skylight" with a diameter of 2 meters.

When the shell sank under the action of water pressure, through the skylight, two dim red lights could be seen in the dim space inside the shell, as if a pair of blood eyes were staring at him.

He threw the high-frequency sword to a fanatic. He moved away from the shell creature at the fastest speed against the inverted current, hugged the tail of a corrupter, and swam towards the entrance of the cave at the limit speed.

at the same time. One after another, poisonous explosive insects appeared around the shell creatures, and they fell into the shell from the "skylight" driven by the current.

Puff puff……

There was a dumb muffled noise in the water, and the current swelled again. Streaks of green escape from the shell skylight, like green silk ribbons floating in the water, accompanied by a large number of bubbles spreading around.

After about three or five breaths, the originally tightly closed shell slowly opened, and the tight flesh tissue inside became relaxed and relaxed, and a strand of green liquid overflowed and drifted outward.

Several enthusiasts tried a little bit, grabbed the two shells and opened them forcefully, and a large amount of green bio-acid solution spread out like mist.

obviously. Shell creatures don't have the super-high-speed regeneration ability like "tree monsters", and a large number of poisonous blast insects can kill it. This is because its structure is more inclined to mollusks, and the shells are hard. The body is very weak, and the number of zero element particles pervading the crater is far less than that of the zero element veins distributed in the stratum. Not only can it not provide huge energy for it to grow into an epic creature like the "tree monster", it cannot maintain high-speed regeneration for a long time. .

Knowing that the shell creature had died, Tang Fang breathed a sigh of relief, waiting for the acidic substance released by the explosion of the poisonous blaster to drop to a level that the harsh environment protective clothing could withstand. Only then did he put away the corruptors and swam near the body of the shell creature.

The detector hidden in the corner turned on the lighting equipment and shone on the rotten flesh resembling the body of a snail inside the shell with a 30-degree angle. He found that the body of the shell creature was very long, not as long as 40 meters like the exposed shell. Its front half of the body is milky white, its mouthparts are similar to worms, and there are a pair of dark red eyes on it. The back half of its body goes deep into the rock wall and extends to the volcanic mountain road, which is estimated to be more than 100 meters.

He supported the inner wall of the shell to a part that was not contaminated with the body fluid of the poisonous explosive insect, and reached out and pressed it down.

"An unknown DNA sequence was detected, the diagnostic program started..."

"Diagnosis is complete, confirm suitable Zerg."

"Reorganize the genetic structure, genetic level a, unlock the research tree, technology level 3, unlock the building "Giant Spire"."

"The collection of life energy is completed, the number is 3000, and the collection of rare elements is completed, the number is 2000."

Tang Fang thought that this unlocking would be the turn of the giant spire, because the shell creature can incubate the aqbd-1 asexual jellyfish body, which is somewhat similar to the characteristics of the brood lord, until the confirmation is correct, he is still a little happy, but he did not expect "Akron" The trip will have such a big gain. The 3 bases and giant spires have been unlocked, and the StarCraft 2 Zerg building only has the last Thunder Beast Cavern left.

Put your consciousness into the Zerg base in the system space, select "Spire", press the hot key of "Mutated Giant Spire", a few seconds later, the vesicles burst and the hideous giant Spire appears on the fungus blanket.

The completion of the "Giant Spire" represents the unlocking of the Brood Lord (commonly known as the Great Dragon), the strongest air unit of the Zerg in the battle mode.

This large flying creature shaped like a ray is an aerial siege unit of insect swarms. The Brood Lord only appears in large-scale battles, using the spit out biological symbiosis to attack the target. These spitting creatures will besiege the target until they are torn apart or they die. This method of attack makes the Brood Lord a great threat to the construction facilities. However, although the Brood Lord has amazing offensive capabilities, he is relatively fragile, and he is helpless when facing most air combat units.

The body of the Brood Lord consists of 4 key structures:

1. Brood sac: The tentacles of the Corrupter evolved into a glowing sphere on the back of the Brood Lord. Genetic changes allow these cysts to quickly hatch a large number of nest worms. These small creatures can not only regulate the functions of certain creatures of the Brood Lord, but also can be used as living cannonballs.

Second, the spiked tail: The tail structure of the brood lord-including the spikes are grown from the balance sac of the Corruptor. It functions like a huge gyroscope, which can be used to maintain balance and determine orientation. This tail structure directly connects the sense organs of the Brood Lord, further enhancing the ability to locate targets.

three. Deadly offspring: A large number of broodworms are restless under the carapace of the broodlord all the time. When fighting, the brood lord speeds up the brood's aggressiveness and metabolism. Turn them into short-lived but powerful air-to-ground weapons that can easily destroy soldier armor and mechanical armor.

Fourth, the sensory organ: There is an evolved gland system in the bone spurs at the front end of the brood lord's flanks, which can release and receive high-frequency electronic pulses. With each pulse, a huge spherical electric field is emitted from the organism, enveloping the surroundings and the target in bioelectricity. Then, the brood lord's keen sensory glands will collect and process. During the long space flight, the glands have mutations that can detect the source of radiation, electromagnetic force, and light.

In the later version of Heart of the Swarm, the Brood Lord except for the passive skill "Bug Seed". The passive skill "Rage" has also been added, which can be immune to deceleration, coma, mind control, and displacement effects.

You can’t see the cost of the Brood Lord in the Larva’s mutation menu. The 3 flying units are mutated from the Corruptor. Tang Fang immediately selects a Corruptor and he sees "Mutate into a Nest" after the "Corrupt" skill. "The Worm Lord" has been highlighted, the resource consumption is 150 crystals, 150 gas, and the population occupation is +1.

At first, he was a little puzzled that the cost of the Brood Lord had not doubled, and only the population occupation was reduced from +2 to +1 (1 Brood Lord actually occupies a population of 3). Later, I remembered that the Brood Lord was mutated by the Corruptor, and the cost of game resources has been consumed 4 times when the Corruptor was hatched. If the mutant Brood Lord also multiplied several times. That would be unfair.

Unlocking the Brood Lord means that the Zerg troops have a ground attack weapon to compensate for the inability of the Corruptor to attack the ground. The flying dragon is difficult to cause powerful damage to heavy armored vehicles. Imagine if the Brood Lord is used with the Swarm Host to fight Attrition wars on the ground, how sour the enemy will be.

Tang Fang suddenly gave birth to a little regret. It would be great if the Brood Lord had unlocked when he encountered Black 3, the overwhelming worms could scare him to death.

After reviewing the newly unlocked units. Suddenly thinking of Abathur, he chose the main nest. Press the hero bar hotkey, Abathur's unlocking progress reaches 68%. Increase of 23.

Because the "tree monster" did not check the unlock value for the first time after death, he did not know the unlock value of the two respectively, but according to the current situation, at most 3 additional dna events can be absorbed to reach 100%.

Thinking of the harvest of this "Akron" trip, a few hours have passed before and after, and Tang Yun and the others are not in a hurry. People on the research space station should also be suspicious, so they ordered the nurse to collect shell creatures. Organize samples, collect fanatics, and swim back to the main stream of the long river along the waterway.

Zhou Ai and Roy waited on the spot. Seeing him come out, they kicked on the stone wall and surrounded them, letting the water push their bodies up quickly.

In the meantime, he asked him why he spent so long and what was in the cave at the end of the tributary. Tang Fang briefly introduced the existence of shell creatures.

After hearing it, Roy secretly thanked him for not going with him. If the monster swallowed him, he would never see Yingluo again. What a pity... He also plans to return to the Hercules transport plane to meet "Akron" Tell the girl in detail about the matter, lest she rush him out to see the world in the future. Is this seeing the world? It's really life-threatening. What if she doesn't die? Isn't she sad?

When he was thinking about it, the three of them were already close to the intersection of the long river and the ocean. Tang Fang rushed out first and released the king worm in the first place.

Since the groundwater sprayed upward to disperse the nearby acid the water around the spray port had no corrosive effect, and the three of them easily penetrated into the abdominal sac of the king insect and climbed up quickly.

The water pressure at a depth of several kilometers cannot cause damage to the king insect, and the acidic substances in the ocean can only cause some minor injuries. After about a few minutes, a huge splash of water splashed on the turquoise sea surface, and the king insect’s bloated body broke through the water. Rise to the sky.

Finally returned to the blue sky from the depressed underground space. Although the three of them did not speak, they all breathed out. Tang Fang remembered that there is a profession in the world called miners. They use their lives to convert gdp day after day, year after year. Dyed blood, and these riches piled up with flesh and blood may become luxury cars speeding on the road, bags under the wrists of beautiful women, or piles of banknotes in the homes of high-ranking officials.

His parents in this world are such miners.

Most of the people in the Garcia Resistance Army are like this. Miners are at the bottom of the society, no one will fight for their rights, no one will shout for their treatment.

In the Monya Empire, in the Sulu Empire, in the Phoenix Empire, "humanism" is just a word, it can only be a word! (To be continued)
