Swallowed Star: Primordial Artifact

Chapter 177: Cultivation of Zerg Warriors

For a Zerg Queen who relies on legion combat, the most important thing is the size of the legion.

However, cultivating each powerful Zerg warrior consumes a huge amount of resources, and resources are undoubtedly the top priority.

And cultivating each powerful Zerg warrior consumes a lot of resources.

Resources are critical.

Even with the Zerg Queen Nan Zhen's understanding of the laws, her strength would be greatly reduced if there were not enough Zerg warriors to control her.

After all, quantitative change leads to qualitative change. The difference between five thousand immortal Zerg warriors and ten thousand immortal Zerg warriors is like a chasm.

"Yekana, as far as I know, there are many types of Zerg warriors. But it seems that your millions of Zerg warriors only have three types." Jiang Ye asked.

“There are many kinds.”

Yekana said a little aggrievedly, "But I chose three main types of Zerg warriors early on when I was growing up. I am better at these three types. If I want to change the type of warriors I cultivate, it will cost a lot. If the master really wants to change... it's okay."

"No, I just want to know what are the characteristics of the three types of Zerg warriors you trained!" Jiang Ye waved his hand. For him, he didn't pay much attention to these subtle explanations in the original book at the beginning. Most of his specific understanding of the Zerg came from the information provided by the Virtual Universe Company.

Queen Mother Yekana said softly, "I am best at breeding three types of Zerg warriors. The first type is the extremely powerful Tiger Beetle Tribe among the "A-type Zerg Tribe". If we further divide it, it can be regarded as a branch of the Tiger Beetle Tribe, the "Flame Tank Zerg Tribe". The Tiger Beetle Tribe has one thing in common with the A-type Zerg Tribe - strong defense! And the Tiger Beetle Tribe is famous for its strength... It is definitely the best Zerg warrior in the siege. A camp composed of a group of Tiger Beetle warriors is the most difficult to break through. And once all the Tiger Beetle warriors form an endless sea of insects and start killing, it is also the most terrifying."

Jiang Ye nodded after listening.

He himself knew that the Zerg could be divided into detection, assault, assassination, long-range attack, etc. according to their abilities.

This tiger beetle tribe obviously belongs to the offensive type.

It is somewhat similar to the heavy cavalry in the military.

"There are indeed many types of Zerg." Jiang Ye sighed. Class A Zerg can be divided into dozens of subcategories, and each subcategory can be divided into dozens to thousands of branches.

"Master, look, this is the tiger beetle tribe." Queen Ekana pointed to the grass next to her.

call!
A creature appeared out of nowhere, which was taller than a ten-story building (3 meters). It looked extremely strong, and its entire body was covered with an extremely thick shell. On its head, there were oval compound eyes, which were completely protected by the shell. Its head was protected tightly like a soldier wearing a helmet.

The deck on the front chest also has ferocious spikes, and the thick, powerful and curved hind limbs support the body.

The whole tiger beetle family gives people a feeling of being thick and fierce! Like a tank, it exudes a brave and fierce aura. Its carapace is all fiery red, even its well-protected compound eyes are fiery red.

"This is a tiger beetle king at the peak level of the realm master." Queen Mother Yekana introduced.

"Peak level of Realm Master?"

Jiang Ye looked at the huge monster that was as tall as a ten-story building.

"Because the endless Zerg warriors bred by my Zerg race win by numbers, they are destined not to be too big." Queen Mother Yekana seemed to have seen the terrifyingly huge Zulong clone in the distance, so she explained, "The larger the size, and the more resources are needed to ensure defense, etc., just like the master's clone... With such a large size, even if you create a million world master Zerg warrior legion, you can't create such a large Zerg warrior."

Jiang Ye also laughed.

How big is the Zerg nest? At least Yekana's nest is about two kilometers in diameter. Even when he led the space army to hunt the two immortal gods, the immortal-level Zerg nest he encountered was only ten kilometers high.

The hive is only this big, how big can a Zerg warrior be?
The clone of Zulong has perfect genetic structure, and its length from head to tail fin is over 90,000 kilometers.

Among the living creatures that can move in the primitive universe, how many can exceed 90,000 kilometers?

"By the way, Yekana, how many Realm Master Zerg warriors do you have now?" Jiang Ye asked.

"Not much." Queen Mother Yekana looked at Jiang Ye with some resentment. "After the consumption of the Purple Crystal King, plus the attack of the master, my one million Zerg warriors were almost used up. Now I only have more than 50,000 Zerg warriors at the peak of the realm master level."

(The Zerg Queen and Realm Lord already have their own inner worlds. Therefore, the massive Zerg army can be placed in the inner world, accumulating numbers at ordinary times, and summoned out continuously when fighting.)
amount……

Hearing this, Jiang Ye scratched his head awkwardly. He originally only wanted to attack the Purple Crystal King and Qianzhang Cinder Flame Wood. As for the Zerg Queen, he originally planned to injure her slightly, and then use the advantage of the clone to directly control her soul.

But he still underestimated the power of the annihilation cannon, and most of the Zerg warriors were turned into ashes. In addition, the aliens arrived too quickly, and Jiang Ye only managed to collect a few with his world ring.

"Ahem, that..." Jiang Ye coughed twice and quickly changed the subject, "The other one you can cultivate should be the Front Shadow Zerg, right?"

"Yes, Master, the second species I cultivated is the 'Front Shadow Zerg' among the Shadow Zerg."

"Master, please look!" Yekana had just finished speaking.

whoosh,
A shadow insect appeared on the lawn next to Jiang Ye, which was completely different from the huge tiger beetle.

The overall body of the Front Shadow Zerg is relatively thin, with a height of no more than about 5 meters, and its body is covered with dark gray carapace. Compared with the thick carapace of the Tiger Beetle, the carapace of the Front Shadow Zerg is thinner, but it faintly exudes a cold metallic luster.

Its chest is relatively flat, without the ferocious spikes of the tiger beetle family, but there is a circle of fine serrated protrusions on its edge, which flashes coldly under the light. Its limbs are slender and agile, and its forelimbs are like two sharp sickles, slightly curved, with sharp barbs on the blades; the hind limbs are strong and powerful, like springs, as if they can be ejected at any time.

The entire Front Shadow Zerg gives people the feeling of being agile and sharp, like a black lightning, exuding a smart and dangerous aura. "The Front Shadow Zerg has the same characteristics as the Shadow Zerg - extremely fast speed. It has an incredibly amazing speed, as fast as a phantom, and has extremely strong attack power. The only weakness is... its body is relatively weak." Queen Mother Yekana explained, "Fast speed, strong attack, weak body, this is the Front Shadow Zerg."

"Of course, the one I bred can be divided into a branch of the Front Shadow Zerg, the 'Nasta Zerg', a legendary Zerg that gave birth to the true super existence 'Nasta' among my Zerg." Queen Mother Yekana exclaimed.

Jiang Ye nodded.

The true life of the Zerg is the Mother Queen. The countless types of Zerg warriors that have been created are not considered life, but are just fighting tools.

However, these Zerg warriors with extremely simple consciousness are not without the possibility of transformation. The fair universe has not cut off their hope of transformation.

Nasta was a Zerg warrior who was originally ignorant among countless Zerg warriors. He was summoned to fight by the Queen Mother by chance. He swallowed some special treasure and evolved and gained an independent will.

In the entire Zerg race, there are actually quite a few non-Queen Zerg warriors who possess independent will.

Only very few people can become super beings.

Nasta is the most representative one.

"Yes, he can be called a super existence. This Nasta is at least a top cosmic overlord, or even the master of the universe!" Jiang Ye said in his heart.

"The last type is the Mantis Hunter, one of the most powerful types of the Mantis Zerg, the largest category of my Zerg. The Mantis Hunter I created belongs to the Trot tribe, a branch of the Mantis Hunter." Queen Mother Yekana said, "The Mantis Hunter is the most powerful of the three types that I am good at creating."

"Its advantages include extremely high defense, extremely flexible dodging ability, and naturally high combat skills." Queen Mother Yekana's voice became slightly higher. "Making one Mantis Hunter Zerg is almost equivalent to making five Shadow Sniper Zergs or two Tiger Beetles of the same level."

Jiang Ye recalled the huge damage caused by the black bugs when Yekana fought with the Amethyst King, and nodded.

It’s expensive for a reason.

"Master, the Tiger Beetle, the Front Shadow, and the Hunting Mantis are the three types of Zerg warriors that I have been researching and am best at breeding." Queen Mother Yekana looked at Jiang Ye, "Of course, if some low-level Zerg species such as the Green Mantis can be easily mass-produced, then there is no need to research them at all. There is no difficulty. Any Zerg Queen can produce those low-level Zerg species. But that will not help me improve my understanding of the laws at all."

Jiang Ye smiled and nodded.

These three types of Zerg warriors are all considered top-level Zerg types. The first two types are for attacking and detecting. If the Tiger Beetle is a heavy cavalry, the Front Shadow Zerg is a light cavalry.

The last Mantis Zerg is the top of the top, equivalent to the guards.

"As I remember, there are two modes for breeding Zerg warriors. Which one do you use for your millions of Zerg warriors?" Jiang Ye asked.

"Yes, Master. Our Zerg Queen does have two modes for breeding Zerg warriors. The Zerg warriors bred by these two methods are very different, and the proportion of energy resources consumed is also very different."

"For example, by devouring resources, the Zerg warriors at the pinnacle of the Realm Master level are directly cultivated, which consumes the least energy resources. Of course, compared with the Zerg warriors cultivated through killing each other and survival of the fittest, their potential and strength are far behind."

"Because they are allowed to devour and absorb by themselves, the absorption efficiency is low, and a lot of energy will be lost during the battle. So... the energy resource ratio can differ by about a hundred times.

Cultivating one "king" Zerg can cultivate 100 Zergs of the same level. "Even I, through the plant life Qianzhang Jinyanmu given by my teacher, fought in this outer battlefield for thousands of years and accumulated 600,000 Zerg kings."

"Well, that thousand-foot-long cinderwood tree belonged to your teacher!" Jiang Ye frowned. Although most of the trunk of the thousand-foot-long cinderwood tree was blown away, only 9% of its divine power remained and the teacher fell into a coma.

However, unlike humans who are immortal, plant life has very strong vitality and can recover its divine power much faster than humans. Generally, it only takes 10% to regain consciousness.

"No, Master. This Thousand-foot Cinder Flame Tree was just provided by my teacher so that I could cultivate it myself." Yekana explained quickly.

"Did you send any message to your tribe during the battle just now?" Jiang Ye's expression tensed and he asked quickly.

"No, master!" Yekana shook her head gently.

In the extraterritorial battlefield, apart from humans and machines who can transmit information in a timely manner, the Zerg's communication technology is only slightly better than that of the demons.

Jiang Ye looked at Yekana carefully, thinking to himself that, except for himself, no other life knew that he had enslaved this Zerg queen. In other words, he could use Yekana as a spy and let her return to the Zerg.

"However, the Realm Lord level is not immortal, and the soul imprint has not been integrated with every part of the body. Anyone at the Lord of the Universe level can fully recognize it! Moreover, the number of Zerg Queens is rare, and they are proficient in the way of soul, so the probability of Yekana being exposed is very high." Jiang Ye fell into deep thought.

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. First, upgrade Yekana to immortality, and then make a decision based on the situation."

"Tell me the cost of the resources you need to advance to immortality. Your most important task now is to advance to immortality, and you don't have to worry about the rest!" Jiang Ye said.

"Master, we Zerg are different from other races. We comprehend the laws of nature by breeding Zerg warriors." Yekana said excitedly. Immortality, she has longed for it for a long time.

"Tell me the cost of resources needed to breed the Shadow Beetle Tribe, Tiger Beetle Tribe, and Mantis Beetle Tribe." Jiang Ye said nonchalantly, as if to say that he was not short of money.

"Okay, Master. There are several ways to cultivate Zerg warriors, but there are three main ways." Queen Mother Yekana smiled. "The first and simplest way is to consume cosmic crystals. Cosmic crystals are condensed from the power of the world. The power of the world can form any substance, so consuming cosmic crystals can completely create any kind of Zerg warrior you want! However, cosmic crystals have many uses, so if you use cosmic crystals... the cost is extremely high."

"The second method is to collect a large amount of metal alloy debris, the blood of some powerful people or giant beasts, and some gelatinous substances such as scales, tendons, etc. With this large amount of raw materials, you can also cultivate Zerg warriors. Because you can choose a lot of cheap raw materials, the cost will be much cheaper."

"The third method is to collect a large number of Zerg corpses. Those Zerg corpses can be directly reused to create large numbers of Zerg warriors.
