Guide to Galactic Dominance

Hundreds of kilometers away from the Snowy Mountains, the terrain and climate are completely different. Bai Zhongqi and the others were taking the route to the south. If they went east, they would reach the open grassland, because there are active dragons and wolves living in groups on the grassland. They are also a kind of pseudo-dragon. They are creatures that are difficult for humans to deal with, so human territories are generally Stay away from grasslands.

The south of the Snowy Mountains is also a hilly and valley area that is not so steep. The river originating from the Snowy Mountains flows here and splits some mountains, leaving some riverside plains with great agricultural potential. Some human beings also appeared here. territory.

Ling, who was sitting on the horse, said to Bai Zhongqi with some resentment: "Although I am the first queen of the insect swarm with her own consciousness, I am still controlled by some instincts of the insect swarm. I feel very hungry now. In order to evolve, the insect swarm needs to constantly eat and obtain DNA. We are on the road these days, and I don’t have room to put down my insect nest and plant some chlorophyll beasts. You have to make it up to me, Head of State."

She has a gorgeous expression and is blatantly trying to seduce Bai Zhongzhen. Although Bai Zhongzhen has had a closer relationship with her recently, it has not yet developed to the level of reproductive intimacy, which makes Ling always pout. Although her body is no longer that of a bionic human, when she constructs her current body, she still refers to human beings, and it also produces indescribable pleasure.

Bai Zhongqi was making jokes, but he also felt that some of what Ling said was reasonable. The swarm is terrifying because of its instinct to devour and destroy everything. Because Zero has her own consciousness, she is not easily dominated, so her emotions now are more similar to hunger or unsatisfied sex.

Yes, it is possible for the queen of the swarm to experience pleasure similar to the pleasure humans experience when they reproduce.

Bai Zhongqi wanted to expand his power, be able to fight dragons, and learn more about the world. There was no point in creating a group of chicken-sized dragon-raptors in a small way. Before the insect nest can breed base ship-level beasts, it is actually not easy to run around. It is more likely to stay in one place. After the slave beasts eat up all the creatures in a place, the insect nest can move to a new place.

Now, Zero is following Bai Zhongqi on the road. Apart from occasionally sending out beasts to hunt, there is no way he can use more efficient beasts such as Chlorophytes and Photovoltaics to replenish himself with nutrients and energy.

"It seems that we do need a territory of our own." Bai Zhongqi said to Ling.

At this time, Zang Mu Renqing, who was leading the way, returned to Mala and reported, "Teacher, there is a small village ahead, which should be the jurisdiction of the nearby lord Ranji Mountain."

Bai Zhongqi nodded slightly. He has also learned something these days, that is, the names of the territories here are basically the names of mountains. Even in plain areas, there must be some kind of mountain. This mountain actually refers to the castle. The lords of Imodoia are similar to the lords of medieval Europe or Japan. The castles they build are small in scale. Only their private soldiers and servants live in the castle, while other residents generally set up towns or villages outside the castle.

If two lords went to war, the towns and villages outside the castle would often be harassed by the other lords' private armies, and sometimes even be destroyed. But the lords would not consider using huge manpower and material resources to build a huge city to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

"Let's go to the village ahead and settle down. We have been sleeping in the open for several days." Bai Zhongqi said, this life made him a little uncomfortable. Even before he became the head of state, he lived a pampered life. He hunted and ate barbecue every day, and threw dry food into broth and boiled it until it was soft. Otherwise, he could not eat anything. Although it was not unbearable, it was not that easy after all. .

A group of four people rode horses and arrived at this small village by the river at the foot of the mountain. It was very secluded and smokey, and it seemed a bit like a paradise.

When he was approaching the village, Zang Mu Renqing jumped off his horse. This is the virtue a traveler should have. If you want to live in a village on the road, you must not ride a horse when entering the village. First, you are afraid of hurting others. But to show courtesy.

The village is quite large, with perhaps hundreds of households. There are terraces on the hillside and fields along the river bank. Although the transportation is not very convenient, it should be quite prosperous.

Seeing a man on horseback passing by, a mother-in-law carrying a bamboo basket at the head of the village waved her hand and said, "Young man, are you tired from the journey and want to find a place to rest?"

Zang Mu Renqing saluted and responded: "Mother-in-law, our brothers are traveling with the teacher and passed by here. We really want to find a place to stay and ask for hot water and rice."

The mother-in-law had a kind face and said: "Our small village is in a ravine. Few people pass by here. They are guests from far away. There is a spare house in my mother-in-law's house. If you don't mind, you can stay at her house."

Zang Mu Renqing hurriedly thanked him and said, "It's so troublesome."

Bai Zhongqi also came with his horse. The people in this village looked very simple and friendly. Some young children and teenagers at the head of the village, who had never seen outsiders before, were curious and a bit afraid of strangers, leaning against the wall to peek at Bai Zhongchu and the others.

Ling walked out gracefully, and her mother-in-law exclaimed: "What a pretty girl, she is so soft and supple."

Zero had the indifference that he had when he was working as an artificial intelligence. After becoming the queen of the insect swarm, he had a bit of a scornful attitude towards the world. However, when he was praised, Zero had a smile on his face and said repeatedly: "Mother-in-law, you are flattering me." ."

She has learned a lot of local languages ​​​​from Bai Zhongqi, and her learning ability is not average.

The mother-in-law praised Bai Zhongqi again: "This little brother is really lucky to have such an outstanding girl."

Bai Zhongqi himself could only smile and said, "Thank you."

The mother-in-law took out a sweet potato-like rhizome from the bamboo basket, stuffed it into Ling's hand, and said: "Try the sweet-faced melons that my mother-in-law grew herself. The sweet-faced melons grown in my mother-in-law's field are the largest and most delicious in the village." ."

This sweet melon is a very common local food crop, not a fruit. The food and fruits brought to Earth by the Iridium people are somewhat similar to this thing. Sweet melon has a relatively high water content and high starch content. The locals have to dry it before making flour, and there is still a lot of sugar after the flour is made. Fresh melons taste like potatoes, but sweeter.

With the hospitality of this enthusiastic mother-in-law, the group stayed at her house for one night. Zang Mu Renqing also gave the fur left over from hunting to his mother-in-law, but both her mother-in-law and his son were determined not to accept it.

"We also ate the meat you brought, even if we took advantage of you. This fur is so valuable, so we took it so that others could laugh and say that our family likes to take advantage." The mother-in-law's reason was also very firm.

Bai Zhongqi was quite emotional. This mother-in-law didn't understand any big principles, and she wasn't particularly rich, but she was kind-hearted. Compared with those big lords who are educated and have astonishing wealth, it is many times better to sacrifice their own people to survive.
