Chapter 221 New Zerg
Two hundred million bounty!
This new news instantly caused a storm across the entire continent.
The 100 million bounty from the Zero Point Tavern plus the 100 million added by the Mechanical Clan, it is very rare for two forces to issue a bounty for the same creature.
"That masked weirdo is really lucky. Apart from him, who else can be served by two major forces at the same time?"
"The Mechanical Clan's issuing of this mission means that their roundup in Fish Scale City has failed. That masked stranger should not be underestimated. This blessing is not something that everyone can enjoy."
From that day on, the masked man had a new nickname - God of Wealth.
As long as you kill him, you won't have to worry about the rest of your life.
When they heard the news, many members of the Fish Scale City Tavern were shocked. They were the people who knew the real situation best and they never expected that Su Xia could escape.
Such a record is enough to brag about in the pub for a lifetime.
At this time, Su Xia, whose net worth had skyrocketed, was still drilling a hole underground.
This dark and cold underground journey is coming to an end, and a ray of light appears ahead.
The passage became narrower and narrower. At the last distance, the wall of the cave was rubbing against my body, and I had to almost rely on my own strength to squeeze out bit by bit.
Su Xia thought of the content in Peach Blossom Spring.
After walking a few dozen steps, the view suddenly became clear.
"call……"
After finally coming out, his eyes saw light and he let out a long breath.
The surroundings were peaceful, with lush trees, swaying flowers and plants, and chirping insects and birds. The coldness of the underground world was dispelled by the warmth, as if the whole world was enjoying this rare afternoon sunshine.
This is already outside the suburbs of Yuling City, and has officially entered the wilderness area.
The exit is at the bottom of a small hill.
Looking around, golden particles were floating in the swaying grass around, and the Zerg had left many traces in this area.
Just at this moment, the task sent him a reminder.
[The first phase of the mission "Buried in a Foreign Land" was successfully completed]
[The reward "a set of fifth-order nanorobots" has been distributed to the reward column, please check it carefully]
[The second phase of the mission "Burying Bones in a Foreign Land" begins]
[Task Tip 1: There was a group of people who followed you to fight and died in the cruel wilderness stained with blood, but they did not belong to the Old North Wind Organization, nor to the New North Wind Organization. They were just a group of passers-by with ideals.]
[Task Tip 2: You have a task "Zhao Qin's Last Wish" that has been put aside for a long time. Maybe it's time to complete it. This task will be shared by all clones.]
【……】
[Mission Reward: Battleship Driving Experience Book x1; Chaos Crystal Energy Inhibitor x1;]
"Zhao Qin."
Of course Su Xia did not forget this name.
When he escaped from the laboratory, he saved a group of people who were used as experimental subjects, including Zhao Qin.
Later, they fled to the wilderness, where they were caught up by the Lame Wolf mercenaries. A battle was about to break out, and more than a dozen people died there forever.
At that time, Su Xia was not yet a pharmacist and did not have any resources, so he could only watch several seriously injured members die.
Before his death, Zhao Qin left a will, hoping that his wife in Coral City could remarry and find a good man.
Su Xia has not completed this task yet.
“It’s about time.”
Su Xia looked up at the sky and took a deep breath.
Coral City is the most important city for the Mechanical Clan in the southwest of the continent. Its guard force must be much stronger than that of Fish Scale City. It also hides the Level 5 boss, Moser. One must be especially cautious in this city.
If we are not careful, it may provoke Mercer and Yu Tuo to take action, which may indirectly lead to a riot among Subject No. 28 in the underground.
Su Xia looked at the task reward column and clicked to view the details.
[Battleship Driving Experience Book: Contains the experience and knowledge of many legendary captains. After using it, you will quickly grow from a novice to an experienced driver.]
Judging from the description, it is similar to the "Pharmacist Experience Book" that Su Xia obtained in the previous mission.
They are all things like experience pills, which force knowledge and experience into him.
[Chaos Crystal Energy Suppressor: Suppresses the power of Chaos Crystal]
[In the void, there is a rare dark red crystal mineral, which contains terrifying energy]
[This crystal has a fatal attraction to ordinary creatures. When ordinary creatures approach it, they will have hallucinations and be unable to resist. They will absorb its energy unknowingly and become its host, falling into confusion and madness until their bodies are covered with red hair-like energy crystals...]
[…The host's own power will be absorbed by the crystal, and he will become a walking corpse]
[After the host dies completely, the crystal falls and waits for the next host]
Judging from the description, it is exactly the same as the red crystal in Su Xia's hand.
The energy contained in that small crystal is at least ten times that of psychic crystals of the same size, and its attraction to ordinary creatures is quite fatal.
[This suppressor can suppress its power, allowing the owner to use it normally and avoid being discovered by other owners]
[Note: Chaos Crystal is extremely mysterious. Scientists in the Empire have not yet figured out its origin and cause. If it is not necessary, try to reduce the number of times it is used.]
[Note: The following are pictures of Chaos Crystals. The owners can identify them by themselves.]
【Picture 1.jpg】
【Picture 2.jpg】
【……】
The colors in the pictures are dark and turbid inside, like ordinary dark red stones.
Su Xia's crystal is redder, brighter and more transparent.
The words in the note "avoid being discovered by other owners" caught his attention.
"Can these crystals sense each other?"
Su Xia's heart skipped a beat and she thought of this instantly.
Is there also a red crystal in the underground laboratory in Coral City, so he can see the scenes in the underground laboratory?
Based on this inference, wouldn't Mercer and Yu Tuo also be able to see him?
But why discover it yet?
Su Xia took out the red crystal, and the name and description of this crystal changed again.
[Scarlet Crystal: One of the source fragments of Chaos Crystal. Its energy is stronger than that of ordinary Chaos Crystal. It can sense the location of ordinary Chaos Crystal at close range, but it cannot be sensed by the owner of ordinary Chaos Crystal.]
[Note: Stronger power means stronger temptation. Please make sure your willpower is strong enough to resist the temptation of this power]
After seeing this description, Su Xia's anxious heart was temporarily relieved.
The reason why Mercer didn't notice him was probably because the red crystal in his hand was just an ordinary one.
Su Xia put away the red crystal, closed her eyes, lay down in the soft grass, and rested for a few minutes.
Not long after, another task reminder came.
[Mission "Flower of Life" successfully completed]
[The reward "Purification Potion" has been distributed to the reward column, please check it carefully]
[Note: Because you performed well in the mission and defeated the Jiang Group and the Wei Group, you will be rewarded with a hidden reward.]
[You get two chances to draw prizes, and you can draw prizes at any time]
【Click to view the specific content of the reward】
In front of Su Xia, something that looked like a large turntable popped up.
Below the wheel, there is a table listing all the possible prizes that can be drawn.
[Fifth-order Psychic Cannon: From the starry sky, the life-restarting cannon is the perfect combination of elegance and violence]
[Companion robot: It comes from the starry sky and can change its personality, appearance, age, etc. according to your needs. It can relieve the loneliness and solitude in your long life]
[One more time: Get a chance to win a prize]
[Thank you for your patronage: You didn’t get any prizes, but you gained anger]
[Youth Cultivation Manual: From the Starry Sky, contains various indescribable pictures, suitable for young people in puberty]
[《King's Aura》: Passive skill, creates psychological intimidation to creatures with a lower level than itself, reducing their fighting will.]
[Mechanical Terminology: An introductory manual for apprentice machinists, suitable for those with psychic talents such as "mechanical affinity" and "manual dexterity"]
[The Queen's crystal shoes: I don't know what they are used for, but they look amazing]
[Crown of the Sixth Empire: From the starry sky, a witness to the glory of an empire, with extremely high collection value]
【……】
[Note: You need good luck to draw the lottery, so it is recommended to choose a day with good luck to draw the lottery]
At a glance, there are no less than a hundred prizes, some serious and some not.
And Su Xia only has two chances.
He thought about it and realized that he had used up most of his luck after escaping death today, so he decided to wait until tomorrow to draw again.
A few minutes later, the rest was over, and Su Xia continued her search, following the Zerg pheromones, going deeper into the wilderness.
Time passes slowly.
The sun was setting in the west and it was almost dusk.
The endless wind in the wilderness howled far behind him.
During this period, he passed through many areas with high-level monsters. Along the way, some ignorant monsters tried to attack him, but he slapped them to death.
After the advent of psychic power, the monsters in the wilderness vividly illustrate what species diversity is.
These monsters were once wild animals, and only a few of them have evolved high intelligence. Almost all of them have evolved towards stronger attack capabilities , and each one is extremely ugly.
According to the evolutionary path, these monsters will become more and more like Zerg, and finally form a primitive tribe.
It was eight o'clock in the evening and the night sky was full of twinkling stars.
After Su Xia killed a monster again, the alien insect illustration on his body actually reacted.
[The original Zerg "Iron Beetle" has been included]
[Use the illustrated book to transform]
【Click to view details】
On the yellowed atlas, a new picture of an insect slowly emerged.
The appearance of the creature in the picture is very similar to the corpse next to Su Xia. It is gray-brown all over, with a hard carapace, a triangular head, very small eyes, less than half a person's height, and extremely strong defense.
After clicking on the details, Su Xia learned that this monster was the prototype of the Zerg's low-level soldiers, the "Scavengers".
"The original Zerg appeared so soon..."
Su Xia realized that the two insect nests might have been formed recently.
The Zerg are divided into two categories based on time.
One category is the old Zerg, that is, the Zerg that once obeyed the Zerg Queen. Later, the mechanical overlord Eifel led his army to defeat the Zerg Queen. Some of the old Zerg died and some fled, and some directly surrendered to the mechanical clan.
The other type is the new Zerg, which are the Zerg creatures that evolved after the war between the two races.
These new Zergs had never felt the power and call of the Queen. They fought each other in the wilderness, attacking each other, and growing stronger by devouring the remaining Zergs, swallowing up much of the remaining strength of the old Zergs.
If this barbaric development continues for a long time, a new queen may be born within the new Zerg.
"I don't know how strong these two new Zerg hives are. I hope they are stronger."
Su Xia put away the alien insect atlas and continued on his journey, searching for the two insect nests that were about to start a war under the starlight.
The stronger these two insect nests are, the more help they will provide to the development of his clones.
The large number of insect corpses that died in the battle can be used by him to extract pure psychic energy using the [Alienation Filter] rewarded from the previous mission.
As long as he uses it well, this could be an opportunity for him to break through to become a level five creature.
Now the tavern and the mechanical tribe are chasing him, and he needs enough strength to deal with the next challenge.
And so, several hours of searching passed.
Nearing twelve o'clock in the morning, Su Xia finally found traces of one of the insect nests in a valley.
And at this moment, the bracelet issued a prompt.
[It is detected that your body on Earth is in a state of hunger. Do you want to return to Earth immediately? ]
Seeing this reminder, Su Xia remembered that she had not eaten lunch today.
The insect nest can be explored later, but the body cannot be left hungry.
He quickly logged off, got out of bed, took out two bags of instant noodles from the closet, made them quickly, and then returned to bed with the noodles.
I have to watch some videos while eating, otherwise there will be no sense of ritual.
"Just right, purify your soul."
Su Xia turned on the computer, logged into the video software, opened SpongeBob SquarePants, and randomly picked an episode.
He sat in front of the computer desk, waiting quietly.
After a few seconds, the video finished loading and the captain's familiar voice sounded.
"Are you ready, kids?"
