High-level martial arts: Contract cashback, invincible starting from the Zerg.

[Lucky Contract: Congratulations, Host! Bai Fei has successfully advanced to a Tier 2 Insect Hive Lord!! And obtained the honorary title "Marquis Bai Yan"!!]

[Lucky Contract: Congratulations, Host! Bai Fei has successfully unlocked the second-tier Zerg hive units: Full Zerg and Zerg Hunter!]

[Lucky Contract: Congratulations, Host! Bai Fei's current Tier 1 Zerg Hive units have all received a Level 1 enhancement.]

Marquis Bai Yan?

What kind of title is this? It sounds like some kind of ancient title from the Dragon Kingdom?

Chen Feng walked out of the training room with some doubt and opened the "Bai Fei" APP.

However, he saw a very different insect nest.

At this moment, Bai Fei's insect nest extended horizontally outward by hundreds of meters, forming a multi-layered, three-dimensional network structure.

Furthermore, several new Zerg-specific buildings have been added, which look like the beginnings of a Zerg hive. However, compared to a true war nest, Bai Fei's Zerg hive is more like a transitional form.

Chen Feng reached out and tapped the insect hive's information, and the hive's built-in function area immediately appeared.

[Hive Tier 2: Possesses the war core for initiating Zerg warfare and can support localized campaigns against behemoths]

[Level 2 Ovulation Chamber: A hatching site for advanced Zerg units]

[Level 3 Food Storage Area: Stores Zerg hive resources, Zerg food, psionic crystals, and other materials]

[Control/Defense Hub Level 2: Allows control over Zerg defensive fortifications]

[Tier 2 Zerg Hive Core: Green Ghost Core & Gluttonous King Core, Zerg units gain a 15% overall attribute boost, and any attack has a chance to inflict corrosion.]

Seeing the damage increase brought by the level 2 insect hive core, Chen Feng couldn't help but secretly marvel at it.

Back on Earth, Chen Feng had witnessed the War Mother Hive appearing in major battles on more than one occasion.

The Warbringer's Nest back then wasn't the size it is now. Just one of its tentacles or segments could crush the current Whitefly Nest.

Those war nests of the level of cataclysmic heavy weapons are no longer just core buildings used to breed the Zerg or obey the commands of the Hive Lord.

It was so enormous that, amidst the overwhelming Zerg army, it resembled a suffocating wall of doom, and no one dared to even think of confronting it.

They are the end of that world.

The reason these Zerg hives are so powerful is because they possess strong psionic linking capabilities. This ability can not only imbue the Zerg with the will of the hive, but also strengthen the swarm and hatch special units or enhance existing units based on enemy corpses collected by the Zerg.

Besides the means of controlling the Zerg army.

The Hive Fortress itself can also develop various powerful skills based on the equipped Behemoth Core, such as the Psionic Scream that can shatter the enemy's will, or Life Drain that has powerful regenerative abilities.

When Chen Feng came to his senses, he finally saw Bai Fei's figure at the top of the level 2 insect hive.

Unlike the pure white Zerg armor she wore before.

The armor she was wearing now looked much tougher, and its curves were extremely smooth, making it appear very light.

What impressed Chen Feng the most was Bai Fei's protruding armor backpack on her back, which looked like an extra thick exoskeleton.

However, the numerous striped holes on the backpack indicate that it is clearly equipped with Bai Fei's exclusive weapon. The modular design allows Bai Fei to change weapons and equipment according to mission requirements.

[Chen Feng: Bai Fei, the level 2 insect hive upgrade was successful?]

Not long after, Bai Fei sent a reply.

[Bai Fei: Yes, with your help, senior, I have been promoted to a level two insect hive lord, and I can now unilaterally conquer earth-rank behemoths (^～^)]

Chen Feng looked at the emojis on the screen and suddenly found them a bit funny.

So, suppressing a laugh, he continued to send messages to Bai Fei.

[Chen Feng: Do you know how to use emojis?]

[Bai Fei: You mean the last one? After I was successfully promoted yesterday, I was thinking about how to report to you, senior, and then... I saw this... it looks like a smiley face...]

The Zerg have their own language and are generally unable to communicate with humans.

Understanding what emojis mean requires a completely different level of comprehension.

For Bai Fei, it was practically a language level 10 challenge.

Seeing Bai Fei's thoughtful expression, Chen Feng smiled.

Chen Feng: That represents joy and happiness.

Bai Fei: Then (^～^)(^～^)(^～^)

Chen Feng: Haha, good!

[Bai Fei: Senior, what brings you here today?]

Chen Feng: It's nothing. I just wanted you to keep an eye out for any human city-states around there, so I can know your location.

Once Bai Fei discovers a human city-state, Chen Feng can locate Bai Fei's insect hive based on the city-state's location.

Seeing that her "senior" was getting serious, Bai Fei also began to reply with a serious expression.

[Bai Fei: Okay, senior, I'll keep an eye out, but I've searched the surrounding area for dozens of miles and haven't found any trace of humans.]

Chen Feng pondered for a moment and then asked.

[Chen Feng: Have you ever seen what human-made flying machines look like?]

Bai Fei: I know.

[Chen Feng: We didn't see those aircraft either?]

[Bai Fei: I haven't seen any human flying vehicles here, possibly because this is deep within the territory of giant beasts]

Chen Feng frowned, suddenly feeling that something was not quite right.

Chen Feng had carefully studied the territorial distribution of this plane of existence and found that the territories of the insectoid race and behemoths covered almost 75% of the world's territory, while the territory occupied by humans was about 23%.

Moreover, all three races have a strong sense of territory, making it virtually impossible for large tracts of territory to remain vacant.

Aside from the vicinity of some exceptionally powerful behemoths, there are indeed many fertile lands that have not been cultivated by living beings.

If Bai Fei really is in those places, it's quite normal that she can't see humans.

[Chen Feng: Bai Fei, do you still have any impression of the Zerg Hive Queen, your Queen Nakasha Ziwei?]

Chen Feng felt a little uneasy.

This is the last question to verify Chen Feng's conjecture. It's also the question Chen Feng has always wanted to know.

Chen Feng wanted to wait until he understood Bai Fei better before bringing it up with her.

Two minutes later, Chen Feng received a message from Bai Fei, but Bai Fei's answer left Chen Feng somewhat at a loss.

[Bai Fei: Senior, our Zerg here don't have anyone named Nakasha Ziwei.]
