Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

This smaller bug is obviously a smaller version of the bug before it changed. It doesn't look anything special.

But it did arouse some interest in Zero, because compared to the previous one, it looked like a larva!

Generally speaking, there is a very big difference between larvae and adults, just like the previous one.

Take the ants as an example. The newly hatched larvae are actually no different from a waste that can only eat. However, once they gradually grow into adults, their combat effectiveness and mobility will not only increase exponentially, it will be earth-shaking. Not an exaggeration.

From this point of view, perhaps this insect may not be as useless as I thought. Everything depends on its subsequent changes before making a judgment.

Unlike the previous one, this one is almost indistinguishable from the ants. It cannot communicate with Zero, nor can it express its own needs. The only thing that remains unchanged is absolute obedience.

This makes Zero a little disappointed. He hopes that there will be more creatures that can communicate with him. In this case, at least Zero will not have some real sense of existence.

Although disappointed, this insect, which was obviously one size smaller, could not do this, and he was actually mentally prepared.

Among the many ant tribes in the past, not even one had this ability. Now, this insect that looked like a hatchery had already surprised him, and he did not dare to expect more.

Although that thing doesn't look very smart, it finally has a little bit of intelligence and is no longer a tool that relies entirely on instinct.

Zero continued to observe the movements of this larvae. As expected, the first action after this thing appeared was to look for food!

However, it changes very quickly!

Just when Zero was thinking about what to do with it if it became a smaller hatchery, it had already started to form cocoons!

"So fast?" Zero was a little surprised. The original one was not like this!

However, speed is a good thing, and Zero wants to see what it will look like.

Soon He saw it.

I don't know why, but compared to the ants, these bugs grow incredibly fast.

In the past, it took at least three or four days for ant larvae to grow from eggs to adults, but now this insect is about to complete its transformation in just one hour!

What speed is this? It's not clear whether it has any other advantages, but as far as the hatching speed is concerned, Zero has been very surprised.

Faster hatching and growth speed means that they can form combat effectiveness faster. This effect may not be obvious in peacetime, but in wartime, this hatching speed will definitely make the enemy despair!

Soon, there was movement in the cocoon. A crack suddenly appeared in the slight shaking, then a second crack, and more cracks, and finally turned into fragments, and a figure emerged from it.

The first time he saw this figure, Zero felt a thump in his heart.

This turned out to be a bug that was two circles fatter than the chubby larvae before. The neck was not visible at all. The entire head was wrapped under the body, and the legs were basically invisible.

When Zero saw it squirming on the ground, and it only moved a few centimeters and already looked like it was extremely laborious, he knew that this thing must be another uncle waiting to be served.

"Is this the final result?" He expressed deep doubts.

However, the insect's next actions caused Zero to directly change his prejudice against it.

Yes, this is indeed a kind of prejudice, a kind of prejudice that judges people by their appearance.

"Everything is as you see, Lord." As if sensing Zero's disgust, a piece of brainwave was transmitted to Zero's mind, and according to his way of thinking, it was transformed into a meaning he could understand.

Zero looked at the bug in front of him in shock that was so fat that it couldn't even move. How could it send such a clear message?

You know, even the huge larva from before, the current hatchery is not able to send out such a complete sentence!

And this insect, which seems to be no smarter than the previous larvae, is actually able to do it?

However, since it can express such a clear and logical language, Zero no longer needs to work hard to guess what it is capable of, just ask.

It is worth mentioning that the communication between Zero and this insect was not a direct conversation. This communication, which was similar to brain wave transmission, was very strange. Neither party made any sound, but they both understood each other's meaning.

Zero is just a thought, and it understands what zero wants to express.

In the subsequent exchanges, Zero finally understood what they were.

Obviously, it's not a combat unit, but unlike the hatchery, which is a production unit, it has real intelligence!

Although even it itself couldn't explain its specific abilities, it was obviously not as useless as Zero had seen.

Since it is not a combat unit, it means that there is a combat unit, but it has not been hatched.

Whether this is the case or not, I am not sure, but it is very likely.

Just do it as you thought, and a large amount of food was transported into the hatchery again. Soon, another egg rolled out slowly from the passage of the hatchery.

It's the same process. Soon after, a larva crawls out of the egg, starts eating like crazy, then spins a cocoon, and then breaks out of the cocoon.

Then, Zero finally saw a bug that was not fat!

Not only is he not fat, he can be said to be lean!

It looks like its whole body is made of hard bones, with only a layer of skin covering the outermost layer!

Beneath the body are six curved and slender legs. From the joint bends of the first four legs are sharp, blade-like calves, and at the joints are sharp barbs!

As for the pair of long legs at the rear, there is a wide structure like a duck's paw. Obviously, the sharp claws in the front are weapons, and this is the key to supporting and stabilizing its body.

The upper part of the legs is the body, but in the entire body, the head and abdomen combined are not as long as any of its legs.

Most of the head is a long mouth that can be opened and closed at incredible angles, and inside are sharp-looking teeth. As for the abdomen, it is very short and seems to be just for basic survival needs.

There is also a pair of sharp thorns growing above its head, which are obviously its attack weapons.

Zerg, this is Zerg! !

Zero looked at the insect that stood upright in front of him and looked unusually tall and mighty. He could no longer remain calm in his heart.

He finally felt a familiar feeling on this insect, as if the insect race itself should look like this.

"It really all depends on the support of my peers..."

Indeed, Zero would not have been so excited to see this insect without the previous one that was too fat to move.
