Chapter 54: Toxic Blast and Shadow Hydralisk
Chapter 54: Toxic Blast and Shadow Hydralisk
As for the other Entangler, it is more of an assassin. It has a thin and long body and can be invisible when moving in the fungal blanket. Generally speaking, as long as it wraps around the neck and the strength difference is not too big, there is basically no possibility of failure. It is a good assassin.
But at present, Leng Xiyao does not need to add security forces to the hive. After all, the fungal tumors have not been unlocked, and the range of the base fungal blanket is expanding very slowly. The jumping worms are enough to complete the security task.
The most important thing is that this thing is not cheap, it also costs two million.
"Oh, Poison Explosion is still the most practical." Leng Xiyao sighed as she clicked to purchase the Poison Explosion gene sequence.
This poison explosion is a real thing. In actual combat, no matter what kind of poison explosion it is, none of them is weak.
For example, El's poison explosion (Whirlwind Fork), Kor'ha's poison explosion, split poison explosion, mechanical poison explosion and even self-destructing infected bodies are all extremely terrifying things.
Their advantages are fast speed, powerful burst, and the ability to easily fight against enemies several levels higher and win by surprise. They are also one of the main components of Leng Xiyao's plan to launch a sneak attack on the Leng family in the future.
Its disadvantages are that it has too much wear and tear, is expensive to produce and cannot be recycled. However, it does not need to evolve from springtails and can be directly hatched.
The price is really not cheap, each one costs one hundred insect nest points. As a disposable consumable, this price is indeed a bit expensive, and now its self-destruct damage may not be as high as imagined.
After purchasing the poison explosion technology, a group of worker bees in the base began to build a baneling nest, and no one knew what it was used for.
An icon of a baneling nest also appeared in the system. Leng Xiyao knew that this thing could allow her to upgrade her poison explosion or purchase some special abilities.
For example, there are more than ten upgrades in total, such as increased speed, increased splash range, and increased toxin corrosiveness, and each upgrade costs five hundred thousand.
The other thing is to improve its basic level at the beginning of hatching. It cannot be mutated now, otherwise Leng Xiyao would really like to create a split worm.
After careful consideration, Leng Xiyao first spent three million insect nest points to upgrade the initial hatching level of the poisonous explosion to the third level, and then added five thousand to the production queue.
After upgrading to the third level, the cost of each poisonous explosion also increased to 200 insect nest points, which means that after making these 5,000, she will be completely out of money.
But there was no other way. Whether she was preparing to get involved in the affairs of the Spirit Hall or to enter the inner circle of the Star Dou Great Forest for "hunting", she needed a means to fight against the hundred thousand year soul beast, and this tidal-like poisonous explosion was undoubtedly the best choice.
Fortunately, the construction of the swarm is not limited by insect eggs, because such eggs can be found almost everywhere in underground caves, and hundreds of tons of eggs are stored in the main nest, so there will be no shortage.
It takes about two hours to hatch the poison explosion. This period of time is neither long nor short, so Leng Xiyao lay on the bed in the wooden house and prepared to take a nap.
Da Huang also retreated silently and lay down at the door to rest. This scene was just like the slums in Wuhun City six years ago.
Comfortable and peaceful.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for activating the series of tasks [Crazy Explosion of Troops] and completing the first task node - having 2 Zerg minions, and receiving the rewards: tier Shadow Hydralisks and Zerg Nest Points."
"Activate the next mission node: Have three heroes, 200,000 Zerg minions, reward a legendary talent, and unlock a mutant genome that is initially at level three."
Leng Xiyao, who was dating Qin Menglan in her dream, was suddenly awakened by the voice of the system.
After briefly browsing the tasks that the system had just updated, Leng Xiyao couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Shadow Hydralisk? What is that?"
As for the 100,000 insect nest points, Leng Xiyao simply ignored them. To be honest, if she had not stolen Tianmeng's house, this would certainly be a huge sum of money, but now this little money is like giving alms to a beggar - even though she only has 300,000 now!
Better than nothing.
The reward for the Shadow Hydralisk is given out directly and will appear directly in the main nest, so Leng Xiyao went out directly and brought Da Huang to the main nest, ready to see what this thing is.
Soon, Leng Xiyao saw these two special hydralisks with black and yellow colors.
Leng Xiyao activated the skill and took a look. In fact, this was a mutated form of the Hydralisk, which could make them completely invisible at night. After activating this ability, they could achieve true invisibility.
After entering the transparent state, not only can they not be seen with the naked eye, they can also not be sensed with soul power or psychic energy. As long as they are not touched by the enemy, they will be fine.
During the day, they can blend into the environment and transform into a tree, a stone, or even some wild beast. The structure of their body is exactly the same as the material they are transformed into, and even Titled Douluo cannot tell the real thing from the fake.
In terms of attack, the Hydralisk is defined as a sniper. It has an extremely long range and good penetration. It also comes with some upgrades, such as poisoning the bullets, increasing movement speed, and enhancing penetration.
In addition, it has two active skills. One is to greatly increase the damage of the next long-range shot; the other is to sacrifice the range and penetration to greatly increase its own attack speed and attack power, allowing it to start shooting like a machine gun. Both are very practical skills.
Overall, these two Shadow Hydralisks are perfect to be used as bodyguards. The moment Leng Xiyao saw them, she had already made up her mind to take these two Hydralisks back to the academy.
The strength of the seventh level is not low, equivalent to a 70,000-year-old soul beast. Unless you are a Titled Douluo, it is impossible to discover them.
With the addition of these two hydralisks, Leng Xiyao's original problem of not having high-end combat power was alleviated a lot. With Da Huang for close combat, these two for long-range output in the back, plus the five thousand poisonous explosions, it is not a big problem to massacre some tribes with hundred thousand year old soul beasts.
She was not a person who liked killing, but the problem was that if she wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to upgrade the system to level three, she had to kill some high-level soul beasts.
After asking Da Huang to point out the Zerglings and Poison Bombs that they were going to take out this time, Leng Xiyao prepared to go out and search for Xue Qinghe.
Just as I was about to leave, the system's voice suddenly rang:
"Ding! We have detected the instance that the host is about to go to. We are now issuing a mission: Save Xueqing River. There is no limit on the mission process or the way to complete it, but we will make a comprehensive assessment of the action and then issue rewards."
Leng Xiyao was delighted when she saw this task that suddenly appeared.
"Haha, I didn't expect there would be a reward for something like this. The system really understands me!"
