Chapter 113 Acid saliva, heavy carapace
"500 souls is not too expensive. Let's recruit one first and see what it's like!"
Su Bai muttered to himself and started the independent recruitment of cockroaches.
【Soul-500】
The hatchery seemed to come alive, with biomass and wriggling skin beginning to surge.
A huge gash opened in the purple skeleton.
A six-legged reptile moved quickly, passed through the opening, and came to Su Bai.
It is about one meter six tall and three meters long. Its body is dark brown and covered with a hard, heavy carapace.
From the carapace above the head, a pair of sickle-shaped sharp blades extend, flashing with a hint of cold light.
"With such a huge body, it is really powerful and domineering!"
"Although it's not as tall as a hydralisk, it looks much stronger than a hydralisk!"
"If the vitality can be the same as that of Xiao Qiang on Earth, that would be perfect!"
Su Bai was smiling and happy.
As their eyes converged, lines of information popped up.
【cockroach】
[Level: lv9]
[Race: Interstellar Zerg]
[Quality: The ultimate myth]
[Weapons: High-density blade/melee combat, acidic saliva/long-range attack]
[Talent 1: Salivary glands]
[These glands secrete a special enzyme that makes the corrosive saliva more deadly. It is ejected through the powerful contraction of muscles, dissolves flesh, eats away fine steel, and penetrates alloy armor]
[Talent 2: Heavy Carapace]
[Cockroaches grow an extremely thick carapace by absorbing compounds in the soil, especially rare earths and metals. Ordinary weapons can only cause slight damage to this creature]
[Skill: None]
[Combat Power: Level 11]
【Loyalty: 100】
[Introduction: This kind of very tough heavy beetle is a new species evolved by the interstellar Zerg in order to adapt to the increasingly cruel battlefield situation. It can penetrate the battlefield as an assault unit, but due to the thick carapace, they cannot Raise your head to attack enemies in the air]
"The long-range attack method is to spit acidic saliva. It is not a physical attack in the ordinary sense. It may have a different effect against certain special monsters."
"Moreover, it can dissolve flesh, corrode fine steel, and penetrate alloy armor. This kind of saliva is comparable to a chemical weapon!"
"Now the insect swarm finally has a heavy-armored unit with strong defense. With it acting as the front row and absorbing damage, the overall combat effectiveness of the insect swarm will undoubtedly reach a higher level."
"Although you can't attack enemies in the air, you can't expect too much from it!"
Su Bai raised the corners of his mouth and nodded with satisfaction.
From now on, the springtails and cockroaches will charge their enemies together, and they will surely be invincible.
Coupled with the fire support of the Hydralisks, the range explosion of the Banelings, the healing ability of the Insect Queen, the overall strength of the interstellar insect swarm will be even higher.
Facing a more complex battlefield environment, you will be more comfortable.
For example, if you launch an attack on the lords of Asan Kingdom who are holding on to their territory, you won't have to worry about this type of offensive in the future.
"Keep recruiting!"
Su Baihao was furious.
The number of cockroaches recruited was determined to be 999.
【Soul-499,500】
The hatchery erupted with bursts of sound, biomass and wriggling skin surging wildly.
The purple skeleton opened up, creating a larger hole.
Six-legged cockroaches appeared one after another and crawled out quickly.
ten minutes later.
There are 1000 more cockroaches in the territory.
They were scurrying around, their solid heavy carapace colliding with each other, making dull sounds.
"A brand new insect species with diversified genetic codes and a lot of room for evolution in the future!" Abathur walked out of the evolution chamber, his compound eyes flashing with strange excitement.
"Come on! Work hard! I won't treat you badly!"
Su Bai smiled broadly and patted Abathur's dark gray carapace.
"The insect swarm is supreme, I will make it perfect until it devours everything in the world!"
Abathur spoke quickly, his eyes filled with unparalleled fanaticism.
"The lord will be your strongest support!"
Su Bai said with a smile.
Then, he turned around and ordered 10 cockroaches and 10 hydralisks to launch long-range attacks forward at the same time.
The purpose is very simple, to test how far this new unit can attack.
The hydralisk's bone plates open and fire bone needles.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The cockroach's muscles bulge and spray acidic saliva.
"Puff puff!"
Judging from the experimental results, the attack range of cockroaches is not as far as that of hydralisks.
In particular, the Hydralisk's attack range has been increased by fifty percent after upgrading its deep grooved spines.
The acidic saliva spitted out by cockroaches only covers one-third of the maximum distance the bone needles can travel.
"However, the saliva can be sprayed more than a hundred meters away, which is already very powerful!"
"From now on, I can finally truly say, drown the enemy with saliva!"
Su Bai couldn't help laughing and said with a smile.
Currently, there are more than 14 souls left and can continue to be recruited.
The recruitment number of springtails was determined to be 1030.
【Soul-103,000】
The hatchery began to surge.
Springtails ran out one after another.
Six minutes later.
A brand new one thousand and thirty springtails appeared in front of Su Bai.
At this moment, Su Bai had a total of 3000 springtails, 1190 hydralisks, 1000 cockroaches, 500 banelings, and a small number of mutalisks, queens, and worker bees.
There are still 100 accumulated larvae that have not yet mutated into combat units.
"The insect swarm is getting closer and closer to the small goal of breaking through 10,000!"
Su Bai smiled broadly and couldn't help being in a good mood.
Leave 500 springtails, 500 hydralisks, and all the insect queens to guard their hometown.
He led Abathur and the rest of the combat troops to leave the territory in a mighty manner and looked toward the southeast, heading towards the dwarf territory of the lord of Asan Kingdom.
……
……
Twenty minutes later.
"Kerrigan, while I was away, did the dwarves inside the city wall do anything strange?"
Subai stepped forward and asked aloud.
"Lord, the dwarves are huddled inside the city wall, making a defensive gesture!"
Kerrigan spoke quickly and answered.
This lord of Asan Kingdom was cautious enough to stick to the city wall and did not send troops to fight out.
But, now a heavily armored unit called Cockroach has joined the battlefield.
Asan huddled in a turtle shell, which was of no use at all.
Immediately afterwards, Su Bai used mental perception transmission and ordered 1500 springtails to be divided into three teams to establish encirclement circles in three directions: east, west, and south.
The northern city wall will be the main attack direction of the insect swarm.
At the same time, Hendricka, who was standing on the city wall, noticed the changes in the insect swarm.
"This Lord of the Dragon Kingdom is quite capable, and he actually brought more troops!"
"The insect swarm on the outskirts of the territory has almost reached 5,000 people!"
