Chapter 17 Chapter 14 Desert Catfish

Listening to its tone, it seemed to be very familiar with this source spar, so I was not ashamed to ask, and asked curiously: "Then what is this thing, and why does it have such a magical effect?" The little dryad Balfour said with a full face: "This is one of the biggest secrets of the Zerg. The reason why the Zerg can continuously produce high-level bugs that can rival the superpowers of other races is that they can continuously Produce source spar freely. As long as there are source crystals, bugs can continue to evolve from low-level to high-level. There is no threshold, no limit, and it does not take a long time to accumulate energy, as long as there are enough source crystals Stones, they can even evolve into kings of the universe."

I was surprised and said: "It turned out to be like this! No wonder the Zerg can run rampant in the universe and become the public enemy of all intelligent races." The little dryad Balfour smacked his lips and said: "As long as there is enough food, the bugs belonging to the engineer level among the Zerg can continuously refine the essence of the food to produce source crystals, which can be eaten by high-level bugs. The source spar can evolve to a higher level. Engineers evolve into elites, elites evolve into heroes, and heroes evolve into royals. In short, as long as there is enough food, the Zerg will never lack superpowers.”

"How do you know?" I wonder how it knows so much about the Zerg. The little dryad Balfour said: "My mother left me with many memories about the Zerg. The Zerg once invaded our planet. At that time, there were seven powerful world trees that resisted the terrifying Zerg with their own strength. But After the Zerg was repelled, four World Trees fell, two World Trees were seriously injured and fell into a deep sleep, and only one young World Tree was responsible for protecting the Dryad." World tree, I heard the little dryad Balfour once said, but I don't have an intuitive impression of how powerful the world tree is.It's just that being able to stand at the top of the pyramid of a certain intelligent race must be extremely powerful.

Think about it, the saint who created the space of the sword tower actually grabbed a tree of life to protect the space of the first floor of the sword tower.Those who can enter the eyes of the saints can see the power of the tree of life, not to mention that only one of thousands of trees of life can be promoted to the world tree. The power and rarity of the world tree can be imagined. This memory from the little tree spirit's mother can be regarded as a major disaster in the little tree spirit's home galaxy. Even the World Tree has died so many battles. It is conceivable how many tree spirits and other tree spirits will die in battle.

There was no trace of grief on the little tree spirit's face.The same is true if you think about it, it was born in the space of the Sword Tower, and has never lived in its home galaxy, so naturally it has no sense of belonging. When the little tree spirit talked about this painful history in the tree spirit world, it was as if he was talking about other people's affairs. I thought about it, and suddenly said happily: "If the source spar of the Zerg can exert the same magical effect on other races, it is good news for those who are sent to the battlefield of despair. Although the battlefield of despair is full of dangers, but But there is a chance to get the source spar to break through myself."

The little tree spirit proudly said: "The source spar is not something anyone can get, only our dryads have the ability to refine the source spar from the body fluids of the Zerg race." I was stunned and said, "Does the source spar still need to be refined?" The little tree spirit glanced at me contemptuously and said, "What's so strange about this! The engineers of the Zerg are like the worker bees in the hive. The worker bees absorb the secretions from the plants and store them in the body. When it is spit out, some of the water evaporates and finally becomes honey. The process of collecting and manufacturing source spar by Zerg is similar, but it is more complicated. Only we tree spirits can extract effective substances from their bodies and refine source spar. Not just anyone can get the source spar. Among the Zerg, only engineers have a special organ that can produce source spar. Once they advance, this special organ will be transformed into one of the power hearts of the battle. It also has the function of producing source spar, and once the engineer dies for more than ten minutes, these effective substances that can temper source spar will lose their effect."

I said disappointedly: "So that's the case. It's a pity that those strong people who were sent to the desperate battlefield lost such an opportunity. I don't know if they can exchange their military exploits for source crystals at the military base." I don't have much hope for this in my heart. Source spar is not an ordinary military material. It is a miracle stone that can change the form of life. Moreover, the only way to obtain source spar is to extract it from the body fluids of Zerg engineers. , the conditions are so harsh, one can imagine how precious source spar is.

But...it seems like a perfect opportunity for me.As long as you bring the little tree spirit with you in future battles, you can continuously obtain source spar. Looking at the source spar on the palm of his hand, he suddenly realized that the fusion had not been cancelled, no wonder he felt like he was curled up in the hole Balfour dug.At this time, a flash of light flashed in my mind. The image of the demon god I saw just before the coma was very similar to the huge demon god behind Malphite. Using a special method, a demon god's power was secretly injected into my body, and then burst out suddenly at a certain moment.

Fortunately, I am in a combined state, my physical strength has been greatly strengthened, and the activity of my cells has also been greatly enhanced, so I can hold back the power of the demon god until the mysterious power is completely burned. When Malphite was fighting me before, two curved horns suddenly appeared on his forehead, and his hideous image was somewhat similar to that terrifying demon god.Could it be that he has the blood of the Demon God, or is he a descendant of the Demon God? The demon god is extremely powerful just by looking at the phantom, but he doesn't know how terrifying the power of the real body is, maybe it is also at the level of a saint.

I sighed secretly. I used to think that the most powerful beast on earth was the beast Tanlang. Unexpectedly, after only a few days after joining the Guardian Alliance, the superpowers I saw were stronger than each other, and the weakest were stronger than the beast. Greedy Wolf should be a bit stronger, the previous self is really watching the sky from the bottom of a well.In the universe, my own achievement is nothing at all, it is the level of an elite bug, and I still need to work harder. However, no matter how big the dream is, it must start from the present.I released the fusion with the dog wolf and took it back into my body.

I picked up a source spar about the size of a mung bean and put it in my mouth. I'm ready to taste all kinds of weird flavors refined from the worm's body, but... The source spar that melts in the mouth exudes an extremely tempting fragrance, just for a short moment, I feel that every cell in my body is emitting a message of hunger and thirst. I have never felt this way before, it seems that my soul and spirit are releasing signals of hunger and thirst.At the same time, I seemed to hear a "click" in my head, as if something had split open. Almost impatiently, I threw the other two mung bean-like source crystals into my mouth. A delicious feeling from the soul pervades the whole body, the body seems to have opened 10,000 mouths, each of which is looking forward to eating more. I closed my eyes, but a picture suddenly appeared in front of my eyes: On a desolate planet full of yellow sand and stones, a huge stone statue with a height of hundreds of meters stood there. The huge stone statue was the body of a graceful female human being. image. The stone statue's eyes are very expressive, revealing a desolate, cold and ruthless expression.The whole body of the stone statue is bound by hundreds of chains.I can see that the thinnest chain is several times thicker than my thigh. Although I see that the stone statue in front of me is clearly a human female, there is always a piece of information that keeps changing my opinion, telling me that this is actually the supreme queen of the Zerg race, the spider queen Kundala. As I gazed at the statue, some of the chains snapped one by one, startling me. When more than a hundred chains broke and stopped, I suddenly realized that these chains actually symbolized my genetic chains that restricted my evolution, and when all these chains were broken, it meant that I would evolve.In layman's terms, it is an upgrade.I am now at the peak of the sixth level, and I may be promoted to the seventh level at any time, but it is only a little bit short, and it may take a month or two, or it may take ten or eight years of accumulation to be promoted. The preciousness of the source spar is reflected here, as long as there are enough source spar, I can be promoted to the seventh level immediately. I opened my eyes and felt it first. The hunger and thirst in my body was still so real, as if I hadn't eaten for a hundred years, but the wounds in my body healed a lot. I raised my eyes to look at the little tree spirit, and it was also looking at me eagerly.After pondering for a while, I decided to trick a few more source crystals from it, so I said kindly: "Well, thank you, Balfour, I feel that the injury is much better, and I can feel that if I eat another source spar, Jingshi, I can advance to level seven. Well, I will be more confident in dealing with Bianshan that way. If we encounter a group of bugs chasing us, we don’t need to flee in embarrassment.” The little dryad Balfour blinked, then suddenly handed over another source spar, and said with some distress: "Master, I lent you this, and you have to return it to me when you advance to the next level." I took it with a smile and said, "Of course, I will borrow it from you. When I am promoted to level seven, there will be as many bugs as I want, and as many source spars as I want." The little dryad Balfour also excitedly said: "Master, let's form a team in the future. You will be responsible for destroying those bugs, and I will be responsible for refining the source spar. For the income, we will split 20 to 80. You two, I eight, this source spar will deducted from future earnings." The shamelessness of the little tree spirit still greatly exceeded my expectations, and even proposed such a disparity in the proportion of 20 to 80.But it forgot, it has sworn, as my servant, everything about it belongs to me. I deliberately frowned and pondered for a while and said, "Although my share is a bit small, forget it, who told me that I can't temper?" Seeing my agreement, the little dryad Balfour who had been nervous all the time suddenly smiled and said: "Master, you are really wise." I smiled, and swallowed the source spar in my hand, a wonderful taste that made me immerse myself in it lingered all over my body, but this time, the chains on the stone statue only broke after dozens of chains and stopped. I opened my eyes and looked at the little dryad Balfour and said, "It seems that I'm just a little bit short of being able to advance, do you still have source spar?" The little Dryad Balfour said nervously, "No more." I said: "Think about the future income, twenty-eight, if I can't advance, we can't go out to hunt bugs." "Okay...Okay, but, but there's only one left." The little dryad Balfour said with a painful expression on his face. in a minute. "It's still a little bit short, one more, and it should be able to advance." The little dryad Balfour said angrily: "Master, didn't you just say that it was only a little short?" I spread my hands innocently and said, "Yeah, it's a bit close, but now it's still a little bit, just a little bit, just think about the 20/80 income." The huge profits in the future defeated the little tree spirit's stinginess in an instant. With a mournful face, Balfour took out another source spar and asked repeatedly: "Master, you must advance, you must." I nodded and said, "Yes, don't worry." A minute later, I said, "It's still a little bit close." ... Another minute later, I said again: "It's still a little bit close." ... The little dryad Balfour finally said extremely angrily: "No more, I don't have any more." "Think about the 20-80 income." The little dryad Balfour still insisted: "That's not true either." It doesn’t want to eat too much of this set, I said unhurriedly: “It’s really not the last bit, you have already taken out more than a dozen source crystals, do you still care about one more? And you After paying so much, if you give up now, it is equivalent to giving up your previous investment and future income." The expression on the little dryad Balfour's face was constantly changing, from pain to anger to remorse, and finally took out the last source crystal with tears in his eyes and said: "Too bullying, this is my last, there is no more, woo Woohoo, my source spar..." I believe this is really the last one, because this one is big enough, it is the sum of the previous four or five source spars, such a big one must be the last one collected by it. I smiled and patted its head and said, "It will definitely work this time." There is a source crystal as big as a peanut, and the color is also faintly dark green. It looks very attractive. Although it has not been delivered to my mouth, the attractive fragrance has already made me feel intoxicated. It seems that in the winter when the snow is flying, the whole person is immersed in the warm hot spring, and the whole body feels relaxed and comfortable, and lazily enjoys the ubiquitous warmth. Just when I was about to put the source spar into my mouth, I suddenly felt the vibration of the sand, and the strong sense of crisis stimulated me to wake up immediately. In the extremely short time of one tenth of a second, my hand has already caught the "Sword of Black Mountain" next to it.Immediately afterwards, a ferocious head one meter high rushed directly from the sand sea into the temporary sand hole dug by the little tree spirit. The "Sword of Black Mountain" stabbed head-on at the ferocious head with a mouth full of disordered teeth. The sand cave is too small, and there is no room for flashing or exerting force, so I can only rely on the sharpness and tenacity of the "Sword of Black Mountain" to stab the head of the monster that suddenly appeared. The monster opened its mouth wide and swallowed the "Sword of Black Mountain" violently, biting the "Sword of Black Mountain" with chaotic mouthfuls of jagged teeth, making a "creaking" sound.Although only a part of the monster's body was exposed, it was still huge. After swallowing the "Black Mountain Sword" completely, there was still room to continue biting at my arm. My astonishment only lasted for a hundredth of a second, and then I swung a thunderous punch and hit it hard on the head.Under my heavy blow, the body of the invading monster sank suddenly, and most of its body fell into the sand below. I grabbed Xiaohu with one hand, and the little dryad who was still lamenting his source spar with the other. I broke through the upper sand and rushed out. It was already dusk outside the sandy sea at this moment, and the afterglow of the setting sun still shone obliquely on the sandy sea. "Phew, I finally see the light of day again." Seeing the light again, I felt an indescribable joy in my heart. As soon as I jumped out, the sand under my feet shot up violently, and a huge fish-shaped monster with a length of five meters and a height of about 1.5 meters also rushed out. If you don't consider its huge size, a pair of short legs under its body, and its strange appearance in the desert, it is basically the same as the catfish on the earth, and there are even several long catfish growing at the corners of its mouth. fish mustache. It has no scales, just a thick yellow sandy skin. The desert catfish has a pair of small eyes that emit a cold, ruthless and fierce light, and its mouth is half-opened, revealing a mouth full of terrifying teeth, with three layers inside and three layers outside.Looking at its terrifying teeth, one can fully imagine its usual hunting situation.I am afraid that even if one or two bugs encounter it, they will not be able to escape being swallowed by it. Desert catfish don't seem to have much intelligence, just wild monsters driven by instinct.Its pair of small eyes stared closely at the source spar in my hand, and I immediately knew that the reason why it suddenly appeared and attacked me must be attracted by the source spar. Although this desert catfish looks fierce, I am not afraid of it at all. I can defeat it as long as I release the dog wolf and falcon.But this guy is obviously an indigenous creature living in the sand sea. He is good at hiding and sneaking in the sand sea. Once this guy feels danger, he suddenly dives into the depths of the sand sea and runs away. I can't chase him. The "Sword of Black Mountain" is still in its belly, I must not let it run away with my sword. Before beheading it, I still swallowed the source spar first.Xiaohu is also attached to my face, turning into a mask like a light curtain. With Xiaohu's adjustment, the inhaled air is no longer hot and dry, which is unacceptable. The little dryad Balfour, who was almost swallowed by the desert catfish, grew two long branches indignantly as soon as he was in shock.The two branches are as thick as a thumb, and there are some young leaves attached to them. As soon as the branches come out, they are as flexible as two snake tails slamming towards each other. For the desert catfish, the two strikes of the little dryad were like scratching an itch. It didn't care at all, and just stared at me closely. Seeing me swallowing the source spar, the desert catfish puffed like a frog, and suddenly, like an angry bull, twisted its body and ran towards me with its short legs. The mouth is also open in demonstration. The two fins on the side of the desert catfish suddenly glowed with a dim yellow light, paddling rapidly in the yellow sand like oars, and two streams of yellow sand surged up and down like waves on the sand surface. After swimming a few meters, it plunged headlong into the sea of ​​sand, as if it was really in the sea.In an instant, the desert catfish disappeared into the sea of ​​sand, only to see a wave of sand protruding, circling around me non-stop. This is a very cunning hunter. It didn't rush straight at me, but circled around me quickly, looking for my openings, and waiting for the moment when I let my guard down. A few seconds later, it suddenly jumped out from behind me, its tail slapped the sand surface and made a "squeaky" sound, its body rose into the air, and rushed towards me quickly. As soon as it got out of the sand sea, it was already scanned by Xiaohu in the panoramic view. I took a step low and calmly, just avoiding the sharp teeth of the desert catfish. The desert catfish took a bite, and the upper and lower rows of teeth collided fiercely, making a tooth-sickening "click" sound. A sword light slashed out across the sky, and the desert catfish wailed in pain, but I was surprised to find that its rough skin was only cut with a shallow wound, as if it had just been scratched. . The tail of the desert catfish that I later photographed was strong and fierce, which is enough to prove that the wound on its back has not affected it. "In the name of the evil dryad Balfour, designate the creature in front of you as an enemy of nature!" The little dryad Balfour is definitely a top-notch expert at seizing the opportunity, and the desert catfish took only a little more than a second from jumping up to sneak attack to falling into the sand sea Just in time, the little tree spirit actually cast an Enemy of Nature spell on it before it fell into the sea of ​​sand. However, a very faint yellow light naturally appeared on the surface of the desert catfish's body, which actually blocked the spell from the body. With a "plop", the desert catfish fell into the sand sea and disappeared before our eyes again. The little tree spirit was very surprised and said: "It can be immune to my spells, this, this is impossible! It must be because I have not used it for a long time, and I am a little rusty, it must be like this." In brief contact, the desert catfish has fully demonstrated why it can survive in this sandy sea occupied by Zerg.It is elusive, has thick skin, and is immune to some spells. In short, it is strong and cunning enough, so it can survive. In the ensuing battle, the desert catfish showed me its fast healing ability. Most of the shallower wounds basically healed within a minute or two, and even severe wounds could stop the bleeding quickly and prevent the wound from deteriorating. As time dragged on, the desert catfish became irritable. After all, they were just ferocious wild creatures with limited IQ, and the largest source spar that I swallowed was also rapidly taking effect. The chains were breaking rapidly, leaving only a few that bound his neck and arms. In order to prevent any accidents during the promotion, I decided to try my best to solve the immediate crisis first. The first is to summon the falcon-wolf fusion, the body is being transformed rapidly, and the inhuman powerful force is rapidly injecting into my body. When I finished the fit, the desert catfish was approaching me quietly from the right rear.I stepped out suddenly, the powerful physical force made the ground vibrate, and the turbulent shock wave directly shook the desert catfish out of the sand sea.
