[King Insect Recruitment Ticket]
[Quality: Excellent]
【Disposable items】
[Introduction: Communicate the mysterious power and tear apart the dimensional space. After using it, you can recruit a king insect]
"King insect!"
"Another brand new unit!"
"I wonder what it will be like?"
"However, I'm pretty lucky to get 10 recruitment coupons from the silver treasure chest at once!"
Su Bai's face looked happy, and there was a trace of expectation in his eyes.
First use a King Insect Recruitment Ticket.
Purple light bloomed, spinning rapidly in the air, outlining a large teleportation circle.
A huge Zerg creature appeared from it, floating slowly in mid-air.
It is about twelve meters high and five meters wide. It is much larger than springtails, hydralisks, and cockroaches, making it particularly eye-catching.
The exterior is covered with dark brown carapace and has a smooth texture.
There are two rows of compound eyes on the head, and eight lower limbs hang down naturally.
At first glance, it looks like a huge balloon floating in the sky.
"Oh my God, it's so huge!"
"I didn't see any existence like wings, but I was able to fly in the air. It's really unique!"
"I just don't know if such a big guy has a big appetite?"
Su Bai raised his head and stared at the huge thing in front of him.
Lines of information popped up quickly.
【King Insect】
[Level: lv1]
[Race: Interstellar Zerg]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Talent 1: Helium Synthesis]
[The unique respiratory system of the king insect can produce helium, which is stored in a thick sac and expands and contracts with the pulsation, allowing it to change height and speed at will]
[Talent 2: Airtight Shell]
[The king insect's carapace is very special. It can pressurize and seal the inner cavity during cruise to isolate it from the vacuum, thereby enabling free shuttle in the universe]
[Talent 3: Central Nervous System]
[The spherical brain of the king insect is very huge, with millions of nerves and synaptic connections, which can effectively process tactical data and issue orders to secondary Zerg creatures]
[Talent 4: Sensing Appendages]
[The slender appendage hanging from the lower abdomen releases high-frequency pulses to collect surrounding space information and transmits it to the nervous system. After this information is processed, it will form important tactical information and send it to the insect swarm]
[Passive skill 1: Food supply]
[The king insect is the supply unit of the insect swarm. It only needs to consume a small amount of energy to produce various nutrients needed by the insect swarm]
[Passive skill 2: Signal relay]
[With its complex nervous system, the King Insect can act as a transmitter of orders and analyze and process the relevant will of the lord, allowing the insect swarm to maintain coordination in battle. But the number of insect swarms that one king insect can control is limited]
【Loyalty: 100】
[Introduction: This large flying creature was originally called the Boxi Behemoth. After joining the interstellar Zerg tribe, it evolved rapidly and played a variety of support roles, such as command messengers, supply depots, scouts, etc., but its nature Cowardly and incompetent for combat missions]
"Four talents, two passive skills, a lot of information!"
"Although it is not a combat unit, it can play a huge role for the entire insect swarm!"
"Whether it's food supplies or signal relay, they are all currently lacking!"
Su Bai murmured to himself, with a hint of joy in his eyes.
As the number of insect swarms gradually increased, reaching over 10,000, it became a bit laborious to convey orders directly through verbal language.
Whether they are springtails, hydralisks, banelings, or mutalisks, they are all equal individuals. They are unruly and disobedient to each other. They cannot select leaders at all levels similar to the human army.
Therefore, it is somewhat unrealistic to control the insect swarm directly by speaking.
Su Bai's voice was not that loud, and he could not convey the orders one by one in the face of tens of thousands of insects.
Since this time, the method used to convey commands has been through spiritual perception.
Although Su Bai maintained a spiritual link with the insect swarm and could control the insect swarm remotely, the number of insect swarms increased by leaps and bounds, which consumed a huge amount of mental energy.
These days, he has begun to have a headache. How can he command tens of thousands of insect swarms efficiently and quickly?
If in the future, the number of insect swarms exceeds 100,000, 300,000, 500,000, or even one million, how should we command them?
Just relying on one person's mental perception and transmission control would have to burst the brain.
Now, with the arrival of the king insect, this problem has finally been solved.
In the future, even if there are wars involving hundreds of thousands, millions, or tens of millions of people, there is no need to be too mentally exhausted.
As long as they convey their will to the king insect, they can act as "staff officers" or "messengers" and deliver orders to the insect swarm.
The highly developed nervous system of king insects allows them to analyze and process the relevant will of the lord, becoming a presence like a regional commander.
The loyalty of the interstellar Zerg is full and they will never betray. Without this characteristic, Su Bai might not dare to use the King Zerg with confidence and boldness.
After all, if the king insect betrays and directs the insect swarm to counterattack, the consequences will be extremely serious.
But now, there is no need for this problem at all.
Even if the interstellar insect swarm dies, they will never betray Su Bai.
Also.
Food supply, a passive skill, is also very important for the current territory.
As the swarm's population surges, lack of supplies is a big problem.
A swarm of tens of thousands of insects consumes a huge amount of food every day.
The beasts around the territory have been killed in large numbers, and the overall population is stretched thin and will soon be unable to sustain the daily consumption of the insect swarm.
King insects can produce food and replenish the insect swarm, which can be said to solve an urgent need.
"More king insects, please appear!"
Su Bai smiled brightly and used all the remaining 9 King Insect Recruitment Tickets.
One minute later.
Ten king insects were already floating in the sky above the territory.
It is huge and looks quite spectacular at first glance.
At this moment, the system's mechanical synthesized sound sounded again.
[The lord's mark is detected to be the ultimate myth, and the quality of the king insect is being upgraded——]
[Congratulations to Lord Su Bai, your ten king insects have been upgraded to the highest mythical quality! 】
[Passive skill 1 - Food supply has been strengthened and can produce more various nutrients needed by the insect swarm]
[Passive skill 2 - Signal relay has been strengthened, which can process the Lord's orders more efficiently and control more insect swarms]
"Ness!"
"It's really awesome!"
"The quality has jumped up and become the top existence!"
Su Bai raised his head and stared at a king insect.
By linking its line of sight, a wider area can be seen.
Each of these king insects is like a reconnaissance airship hovering in the sky, taking in a panoramic view of the situation in the distance.
