Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

Fifteen days later, under Zero's surprised gaze, these eggs actually hatched in the cave!

Zero was not sure what kind of creature's eggs they were. Although he saw those strange fish jumping back into the seawater from the small holes under the rocks, it was because these eggs were stored in a completely dry environment. , and the surface is also completely dry, and they are not connected together like ordinary fish eggs, so Zero thinks that they may not be those fish eggs.

And if these eggs are not produced by these fish, then these fish must have some special motive for putting so much effort and effort into entering the small holes.

However, these things are not important. During this period of time, Zero did not think about this issue at all. He was just waiting for these eggs to hatch, that's all.

Now, these eggs have actually hatched successfully, which is undoubtedly a surprise for Zero.

On the one hand, he has a certain curiosity about these eggs and wants to see what these eggs can hatch.

On the other hand, the re-evolution of the queen requires the organisms that hatch from these eggs.

To be precise, it should be that the evolutionary factors present in their bodies are needed to complete the evolution of the queen ants.

He stared curiously at the increasingly noisy eggs on the ground. But then, the creature that emerged from it surprised him.

Because their appearance is completely different from all the creatures Zero has ever seen, and they look very weird.

Of course, all creatures that have undergone mutation will be different from their original existence, either becoming larger in size or having longer limbs, etc. Over the years, Zero has seen many weird creatures.

But this creature is completely different.

They clearly have fish heads and bodies, including fins and gills.

However, there are four thick, giant salamander-like legs growing strangely underneath their bodies, and they are actually able to breathe directly on land!

In this cave, or to be precise, under the light of the gem on the cave ceiling, all eggs will be different from the original body when they hatch.

But they all have one thing in common, that is, no matter how their abilities and body shapes change, their overall structure will not be much different from the original.

And what is this hatched this time? It's obviously like a strange monster!

"Is this caused by mutation? Or..." Ling Po felt a little more experienced. He had never seen such a creature that looked like it was forcibly spliced ​​together by the creator.

"No, no, no!" He paused, and suddenly a light flashed in his mind.

"They did not mutate like this. All the creatures that have experienced mutation here have not had such exaggerated changes, but they are in this form. If it is not caused by mutation, then it can only mean that they were originally It looks almost like this!”

After coming to this conclusion, he looked at this strange creature again, only to find that it did not rush towards the ant colony impatiently like the creatures that had hatched before. Instead, it turned around and scooped out the egg shells it crawled out of. Swallowed it all into my mouth.

Then, under Zero's shocked gaze, this strange little monster-like guy slowly spit out a non-transparent white "bubble", like an insect's cocoon, and quickly wrapped himself in it. Among them, he became motionless after that, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

Zero was shocked again.

Is there such a creature in the world? It has the head and body of a fish, but has legs like a salamander. At the same time, it seems to have changed as soon as it hatched!

What kind of monster is this? ! Originally, he thought the evolution of the queen ant was incredible, but he didn't expect that this creature would give him new insights today.

However, with the facts before his eyes, in the end He could only sigh, the Creator is really amazing!

After the other eggs hatched, they went through the same operation, but Zero was no longer surprised.

He just waited quietly for them to break out of the cocoon again to see what else could crawl out of it.

Zero was ready to face yet another completely different kind of monster.

However, this time Zero was disappointed.

Five days later, the first "bubble" burst. A small fish almost identical to the previous strange fish struggled hard in the bubble, trying desperately to get out. However, there was only dry air outside, and there was no trace of it. There was no moisture. It tried its best to crawl out of the cocoon, but it could only roll feebly on the ground. At the same time, it opened its mouth desperately, revealing a mouth of teeth that were obviously mutated!

Unfortunately, no matter how sharp the teeth are, they can't change the fact that there is no water here. Here, the only thing waiting for it is death.

A few minutes later, Zero looked at the dead fish in front of him and fell into deep thought.

This one is exactly the same as those fish that came out of the small holes at that time! These are indeed the eggs produced by that kind of fish!

They are actually a kind of fish that lay eggs and reproduce in the dark environment on the shore!

Moreover, when they are born, they are obviously an amphibious creature, and soon afterwards they quickly develop again and become fully aquatic creatures, only to lose their lives because they lose the advantage of amphibians for survival on the shore.

Thinking about it, their original normal growth process should be that adult fish come ashore, find a suitable place to lay eggs, and then return to the water. After the eggs hatch, they crawl out of the hole in the form of amphibians, return to the water, undergo another development, and finally become a real fish.

"But, why is it similar to the method of forming a cocoon?" Zero expressed confusion, why do they turn into adults like this? Isn't this the way insects develop?

He was very confused, maybe there were too many things in this world that he didn't understand.

However, this is not important. What is important is to let the queen eat their corpses to see if they can evolve again!

This is related to the evolution of the ant colony. Compared with this, some curiosity is left behind by him.

…………

The builders painstakingly divided these corpses and thoughtfully delivered them to the queen, who was very inconvenient to move.

Under Zero's instructions, the queen ants each devoured the food in front of them.

After that, they did not live up to Zero's expectations. Only two days later, after a frantic feeding session, they began to form cocoons again.

Moreover, looking at the size of the cocoon this time, when they crawl out later, they will definitely not be too small.

In total, this is the fifth time they have evolved into a cocoon, so this time, it took them quite a long time.

Three full months later, the ant colony has successfully completed the second phase of construction of the aquaculture farm under Zero's instructions. After the construction of the diversion canal is completed, the main part of the farm will be completed. The next step is to place them in it. "Seed".

It was at this time that the cocoon in the cave, which was as big as a basketball, finally started to move.

Zero paid attention to this place all the time, and immediately turned his attention.

Although he was somewhat mentally prepared for the changes in the queen ant, he was still shocked when the new queen squeezed out of the cocoon.

Because it’s really squeezed out!

Such a large cocoon could not allow them to stretch their bodies at all. It was not until they squeezed out of the cocoon that Zero could see their entirety.

And His first feeling was that it was huge!
