Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

After exploring the skills of the Zerg Queen, Lin Yi moved in front of her and took a look at her.

When the other party saw Lin Yi approaching, he couldn't help but shrink his head, and the tentacles on his head also couldn't help but shrink.

There was no way. Although she had great potential as the Zerg Queen, at the moment she was just a youngster that had not yet grown up - in the eyes of everyone, she was not even a threat.

When facing Bubu Wang, she was completely defenseless, let alone facing Su Xiao and Lin Yi.

The absolute gap in strength made it difficult for her to even think of resisting, and she could only instinctively show submission.

"Stand up." As Su Xiao finished speaking, the Zerg queen immediately stood up from the ground.

Although it was only a short time, Su Xiao had successfully trained the insect queen to be very obedient.

Su Xiao's training method was simple and rough - disobedient? He would slap her twice with precise force, which could make her dizzy and teach her a lesson without actually hurting her essence.

Pain is the most direct teacher, and the Zerg Queen is obviously a quick learner.

There is no so-called difference in talents among the Zerg. As long as they can continue to evolve, any individual can quickly grow the population.

In the initial stages, their overall capabilities are often similar.

And through the other party's few words, Lin Yi knew that not all Zerg queens could be called queen mothers. That was a title only for super-large Zerg mothers.

In other words, at this moment on the Thornworm Star, only the rulers of the three super-giant hives can call themselves the "Queen of the Zerg", and the queens of the other nests can only be called "mothers" or "queens" at best.

From mother to queen, and then from queen to queen mother - in theory, this process can be extremely short, but the reality is full of thorns.

The competition for resources, the oppression among the same ethnic group, the looting and massacre by foreign races... every step is fraught with danger.

What's more, in the eyes of the Totem Tribe, the Zerg mother body itself is a precious sacrifice.

They firmly believe that sacrificing the mother body to the totem can exchange for the gift of ancient power.

In the Zerg social system, maternal bodies are not uncommon.

Whenever a hive breeds higher-level Zerg, there is a certain probability that a new queen will be born.

According to the tradition of the Zerg, the original queen will raise these newborn mothers for a period of time. After they have initially matured, they will be assigned 10 to 20 engineer insects, expelled from the nest, and allowed to establish their own families.

This seemingly cruel law of survival is actually rooted in the nature of the Zerg.

Although species may fight for resources, the continuation of the species always takes precedence over individual interests.

In some super-large insect nests, the aging queen will even voluntarily give up her throne, handing over control of the entire hive to the newborn successor, and willingly be devoured by it - exchanging her own demise for the continuation of the hive.

The little guy curled up in front of Su Xiao at this moment was obviously the loser who was driven out of the nest by the former queen.

Judging from her shriveled shell and depressed mental state, she could hardly survive, let alone evolve.

Lin Yi reached out to check her physical condition and his brows immediately frowned - long-term malnutrition had weakened her vital signs to the limit.

It can be said that if Su Xiao and Lin Yi had arrived two days later, this poor little thing would either become a meal for wild beasts or starve to death silently in some dark corner.

Su Xiao took out a piece of dried meat from the storage space and threw it to the small mother crawling on the ground.

The little guy subconsciously shrank back, his tentacles trembling nervously - this reaction was not entirely out of fear, Su Xiao's pitifully low charm attribute obviously contributed to it.

After seeing the dried meat that Su Xiao took out, Lin Yi waved his hand and then took out a plate of sealed Kung Pao Chicken from his personal space.

As the plastic wrap was peeled off with a hiss, a rich aroma suddenly exploded in the air.

The numbing smell of Sichuan pepper and the fragrance of chili pepper, mixed with the fresh flavor of chicken, seem particularly tempting on this primitive and desolate thornworm planet.

The insect queen's nostrils twitched slightly, and her originally sluggish compound eyes suddenly lit up.

You know, at this moment, the Thornworm Star is still in a barbaric era - except for the intelligent Zerg far overseas who may study the art of cooking, the five totem tribes and three war Zerg on the continent have no time to care about such luxurious enjoyment.

For this little mother who has never left the nest, the plate of bright red and fragrant Kung Pao Chicken in front of her is like opening the door to a new world.

The antennae on her head vibrated unconsciously at a high frequency, her compound eyes stared straight at the plate of delicacies, and a slight clicking sound came from her throat.

The little mother tentatively took half a step forward, but suddenly froze, timidly glancing at Su Xiao's reaction - the lesson of the two slaps just now was obviously still fresh in her memory.

"Eat." Lin Yi smiled and handed the plate forward.

The Zerg Queen hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist the temptation. She stretched out her slender fingers - or the Zerg forelimbs that looked like fingers, carefully picked up a piece of chicken, and quickly stuffed it into her mouth.

The next second, her eyes suddenly widened, the antennae on her head stood up, and the whole insect froze.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Lin Yi asked with interest.

He was responded to by a jaw-dropping eating performance, where the little female insect completely threw away her previous reserve and used all six limbs to move simultaneously, pouncing on the dinner plate in an almost predatory manner.

She stuffed chicken pieces, peanuts, and green onion segments into her chewing mouthparts all at once, and in the end even licked up all the sauce at the bottom of the plate.

Su Xiao watched the scene coldly, his posture with his arms crossed over his chest formed a sharp contrast with the gentle Lin Yi.

This kind of cooperation between the red face and the white face is enough to tame this little female insect.

The moment the plate was removed, the little female insect immediately let out a squeak of grievance.

She followed Lin Yi closely, her compound eyes filled with desire, and her forelimbs even made begging gestures unconsciously - with this look, how could she still have any of the dignity that a Zerg queen should have?

Lin Yi was amused by her appearance and took out a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs from his personal space: "Eat slowly, don't choke."

This time, the insect queen didn't even hesitate and pounced on the food and started eating, like a refugee who had been starving for hundreds of years.

Su Xiao looked at this scene and thought: "Interesting, not only does she know how to please others, but she also knows how to judge people by their appearance. It seems that her intelligence is higher than expected."

Lin Yi nodded: "And she is very receptive to human food, which is a pleasant surprise."

After the insect queen finished the second dish in a flash, she finally touched her stomach with satisfaction, and then... she knelt in front of Lin Yi with a "thump", her forehead against the ground, her tentacles drooping, in a standard posture of submission.

"What's your name?"

The Zerg Queen tilted her head in confusion: "Name. Why? Zerg don't need names."

Her pronunciation was awkward and intermittent, but it revealed a sense of innocent confusion.

In the social structure of the War Zerg, individuals do not really need names.

Only those large insect nests that have been passed down for several generations will use the name of the nest as the title of the queen.

For example, all the rulers of the Blackwater Lair would call themselves "Blackwater".

The little girl in front of him had obviously received a complete Zerg education. Her queen had indeed diligently raised her until she was able to be independent, and then exiled her according to tradition.

After being expelled, she was in a daze for a while, until she was attacked by a pack of wolf hunters, and then she finally realized that from now on, she could only rely on herself.

"No, you need it. It's more dignified to die with a name."

“I don’t want to die. If I die, I will become part of the soil, and the soil is disgusting.” After hearing Su Xiao’s words, the little guy hesitated for a moment, but finally pushed back.

"..."

Su Xiao looked at the little mother in surprise. He didn't expect that this guy would actually fall to the point of eating dirt.

In fact, her recent diet was even more miserable than she had imagined—she had managed to survive for seven whole days by gnawing on the purple-leaf vines that were unique to the Thornworm Star.

"What are you going to call her?"

"The carapace is so tightly wrapped, why not just call her Sweet Potato?"

A strange silence spread among the crowd. Baha subconsciously touched his crest and suddenly felt that the name "Baha" was simply the pinnacle of his master's naming history.

“If you have a child in the future, the right to name the child must be given to someone else.” Lin Yi held his forehead and sighed, giving Su Xiao a helpless look.

On second thought, this guy didn't even finish high school before he became a killer. We really can't expect a semi-illiterate person to come up with a good name.

"Since this place is called Thornworm Star, you will be called Jila from now on. Your tribe will also be passed down with this name, understand?"

Jila nodded as if he understood, and his tentacles swayed casually.

To her, a name is just an insignificant symbol - it can neither feed her nor ward off enemies.

Compared to this, she cared more about the food in Lin Yi's hand that exuded an enticing aroma.

"Are you still hungry?"

"Hungry."

Jira nodded vigorously, and the chitinous shell made a slight clicking sound with the movement.

The insect queen's special physiological structure allows her to convert the food she eats into pure biological energy and store it - in theory, as long as there is enough food, she can keep eating and will never get "overfed".

If we could slightly materialize the degree of favorability that Jila currently has towards everyone.

Jila's favorability towards Su Xiao is approximately between 0-2, while his favorability towards Lin Yi is between 60-70.

After all, the only memory Su Xiao left for Jila was slaps in the face. You can't expect a poor kid who gets beaten all day long to have a good impression of the abuser.

Unless she is Twilight, the notorious masochist from the Symbiote Alliance.

Just when Jila had almost finished eating, Su Xiao took out the [Devil's Jar] from the storage space. He grabbed Jila's neck and pressed the Demon's Jar against the shell on his chest.

The dark demonic power surged into her body like a living thing. In an instant, her compound eyes were dyed pure ink, and spider-web-like black lines appeared on the surface of her shell.

There was a constant cracking sound, and fine cracks continued to spread on the light purple shell. Su Xiao did not let go until 10% of the energy of the Demon Jar was injected.

But this was just the beginning - he injected more than ten kinds of medicines of different colors into Jila.

Lin Yi looked at the blood bar above Jila's head that was jumping wildly, and quickly cast a chain of life on her.

The light golden energy chain wrapped around Jila's body, finally stabilizing her health bar.

With a loud bang, the shell of Jila's right arm exploded, revealing the wriggling purple biological tissue underneath.

But soon, the new shell re-covered the exposed part at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Well, you have such a strong adaptability?” A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Yi’s eyes. After signaling Su Xiao to prepare a full set of first aid equipment, he condensed a ray of abyss power at his fingertips.

When the power of the abyss is injected——

“Squeak!”

Jila let out a heart-wrenching scream, and his whole body twitched violently as if struck by lightning.

The biological tissue under the carapace was wriggling wildly, and strange lumps were constantly appearing on the body surface. The vital signs curve on the monitor fluctuated violently like a roller coaster, hovering back and forth on the edge of death.

Compared with the power of the devil, the corrosiveness of the power of the abyss is simply a world of difference.

Even the Zerg mother body, which is known for its adaptability, is like a small boat in a storm under the impact of this force.

Her shell kept peeling off and regenerating, and her compound eyes kept changing between scarlet and black.

After seven near-death experiences and six episodes of organ failure, Jila finally completed his transformation.

With her extremely high adaptability, Jila successfully adapted to the erosion of her body by the power of the abyss. At this moment, Jila has transcended the scope of ordinary Zerg and become a higher-level existence - the Queen of the Abyss Demon Zerg.

Although Jila is still in its larval stage at this moment, the majesty of its future dominance over the Zerg can already be vaguely seen in its compound eyes that are flowing with the purple light of the abyss.

As time goes by, once Jila grows up, the three major war Zerg races and the five totem tribes will probably not even be enough to fill her teeth.

About an hour later, Jila, who had collapsed on the ground, finally stood up tremblingly.

Her current state was as if she had been thrown into an arena and beaten by a dozen trolls for three days and three nights - every inch of her shell was protesting, and every nerve was wailing.

Even the newly grown wing membranes on her back were drooping, like two purple-black leaves hit by frost.

Su Xiao took out a summoning contract scroll from the storage space. This item was of a lower rank and could only bind temporary summons.

The so-called temporary summoned creature can only assist the summoner in fighting in one world. When the summoner leaves that world, the contract becomes invalid.

The contract scroll broke, and a hint of the reincarnation paradise appeared.

[The hunter's charm attribute is too low, the contract fails. 】

Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao didn't even move his eyebrows - he was obviously accustomed to this kind of result.

He calmly took out a stack of temporary summoning contract scrolls from the storage space, and a rough count showed that there were at least twenty of them.

A few worlds ago, this proud cat master had a sudden idea and planned to resell the summoning contract scrolls to make a fortune. However, because the price was too high, he didn't sell a single one.

In the end, she could only curl up under Su Xiao's bed, feeling aggrieved, wiping her tears with her paws and meowing and complaining about the sluggish market.

Su Xiao expressionlessly tore open the contract scrolls one by one, while Jira stayed behind Lin Yi the whole time, with his tentacles alertly raised, staring closely at Su Xiao's movements, fearing that he would suddenly take out something strange and throw it at him.

[Contract Failure]

[Contract Failure]

[Contract Failure]

After failing ten times in a row, Su Xiao was silent for a moment, and suddenly had an unprecedented clear understanding of his charm value.

So, he simply handed all the remaining contract scrolls to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi took the scroll and tore open a page.

[Contract Establishment]

The reminder of Samsara Paradise popped up instantly, neatly and without any hindrance.

——This is the gap between people.

Lin Yi smiled and shared the contract authority with Su Xiao, so that Su Xiao could also command her.

[You obtain a temporary summon, the Zerg Mother (larval stage).]

The moment the contract was established, the fear in Jila's eyes gradually faded away, replaced by a subtle sense of obedience.

But she still instinctively took two steps back, hiding behind Lin Yi, staying as far away from Lidya Su as possible.

Obviously, the psychological trauma left by those slaps was probably more profound than the erosion of the power of the abyss.

[Hint: Your summoned Zerg Mother is in a state of fear.]

[Current loyalty: 68 points.]

"If you dare to run away, I will steam you alive like a crab."

Su Xiao looked at Jila with a smile on his face.

[Hint: The loyalty of your summoned Zerg Mother has increased by 10 points. The current loyalty is 78 points.]

【Tip: Due to special reasons, this unit is at risk of forced defection. 】

Although Su Xiao did not succeed in making a contract with Jila, the shackles formed by the devil's power in Jila's body were still effective.

She trembled her tentacles, and her six appendages unconsciously took up a defensive posture, but she didn't dare to actually disobey the order.

Su Xiao motioned to Jila to come closer. Jila hesitated for a moment and did not dare to move. Seeing this, Baha swooped down suddenly and slapped her to the ground with one wing, just crawling in front of the tip of Su Xiao's boot.

Before Jila could react, Su Xiao had already stuffed a seed into her mouth. With a gulp, Jila was forced to swallow the seed.

When Su Xiao was using the props, Lin Yi naturally saw the characteristics of the seed.

[Withered Seed]

Origin: fate/stay night
Quality: Epic
Type: Item/Consumable (can be used once)
Effect of use: This item can be implanted into the body of a plot character. This plot character has a certain chance of becoming the pseudo-protagonist of this world and gaining the power of destiny.

Rating: 601 points (Epic items have a rating of 530 to 700 points.)
Introduction: This is... a toy for maniacs.

Selling price: 296000 Paradise Coins.

……

Needless to say, this thing doesn't have much effect in most cases. After all, the protagonist of the plot world is not of much help to the contractor. But now, if Jila becomes the protagonist, then the next things will be much smoother.

Jila could clearly feel the seed dissolving in her body, but she was powerless to stop it.

What's more terrifying is that when she looks at Su Xiao, an instinctive tremor will sweep through her body. She cannot resist this human being, otherwise she will die immediately.

As for Lin Yi, the power of the abyss in Jila's body is a part separated from Lin Yi's body. For Jila, Lin Yi is completely her superior existence.

Once Lin Yi is unhappy, he can even control the power of the abyss in Jila's body to destroy her body.

This is also a safety measure left by the two to prevent Jila from getting out of control.

After ensuring that Jila was under complete control, Su Xiao and Lin Yi began to examine the area - it was obviously not suitable as a development base.

There are two totem tribes entrenched within a hundred miles. Even if the two of them join forces, it is difficult to confront them head-on, let alone the current situation where there is only one commander, Jila.

The evolution of the Zerg follows a fixed ladder:

The queen stage (the current stage of Thorn) - needs to devour a large amount of flesh and blood of basic creatures.

Queen stage: can cultivate primary combat units.

Queen stage - possesses strategic-level evolution capabilities.

Queen Mother Stage: A swarm of insects that can dominate an entire area.

Overlord rank - the legendary leader of the Zerg.

The fifth-stage Overlord is the overlord of the entire Zerg race and has dominance over all queens. So far, there has only been one Overlord in this world, and during that period, the Totem Tribe almost died out.

After handing over the task of searching for a new camp to Baha, Su Xiao and Lin Yi set up a waterproof awning on the edge of the cliff.

Lightning flashed in the dark clouds, and the entire Thornworm Star fell into a strange period of silence - the contractors of the four major paradises were taking action in completely different styles.

The contractors of Apocalypse and Holy Light are busy digging for minerals from the earth veins, and their tool attributes are maxed out.

The lunatics in the Samsara Paradise have already infiltrated the indigenous forces - some have become war priests of the Totem Tribe, and some have become reconnaissance captains of the Zerg Nest. Their efficiency is so high that it can be called a dimensionality reduction attack.

Heavy rain beat against the ruined insect nest, and Jila curled up in his previous insect nest.

The wing membranes were still drooping like water-soaked papers, trembling from time to time because of the thunder.

Baha did not return until the second half of the night. He found a forest twenty kilometers away. There were no traces of totem tribes and Zerg, but there were many wild animals.

Lin Yi chuckled and turned on the force field device, while Su Xiao directly picked up Jila by the scruff of the neck, like holding a wet stray cat: "Let's go, I'll find you some decent ingredients." (End of this chapter)
