In the wilderness, a group of scimitar-antlered deer were running wildly.
Behind them are a group of tigers flying in the sky with wings of fire, chasing them.
Following Chu Xin's orders, the Red Winged Tigers have been encircling and suppressing all kinds of strange beasts near the Zerg territory, trying to reduce the efficiency of the death worms' hunting as much as possible.
This group of scimitar-antlered deer is very large, with nearly forty or fifty of them. It is considered a relatively large group of exotic beasts in this area.
At this moment, the soil in front of the scimitar-antlered deer suddenly rolled violently. It only took a few breaths to rush to the front of the scimitar-antlered deer.
The mud and dust on the ground suddenly rose up, and a black shadow shot out from the ground from bottom to top, instantly rushing into the herd of bent-antlered deer.
This is a creature that resembles an earthworm, with no head or legs, and a giant mouthpart full of teeth. It is one of the two trump cards in the Zerg territory, the death worm.
Several scimitar-antlered deer that couldn't dodge were bitten by it and swallowed in a few times.
Although the death worm eats these prey, it does not actually digest it. Instead, it stores it inside its body and spits it out again when it returns to its territory.
"hiss"!
After the death worm devoured the scimitar-antlered deer, it neighed provocatively at the red-winged tigers that were catching up in the sky, with its huge mouthparts open, as if it was looking at them.
The scimitar-antlered deer panicked and scattered in all directions, trying to escape. A group of khaki beetles emerged from the ground and hunted them.
This is not the first time that this kind of behavior of snatching food from a tiger's mouth has happened. The red-winged tiger doesn't have a good solution. After harassing it for a few times, it can only leave angrily.
But this time, things are different!
"Hehe, I've finally waited for you!" Among the rocks in the distance, a smile appeared on Chu Xin's lips.
This group of bent-antlered deer was actually a group of prey in the west of Chu Xin's territory, but he drove them here forcefully and used them as bait for fishing.
No, the fish happily bit the hook without even testing it.
He quickly connected to the spiritual connection with the grass ball, and countless vines surged out of the depths of the ground instantly.
Faced with the sudden attack, the Death Worm did not panic. It took the initiative to face it.
The Death Worm is very clear about the strength of this familiar opponent. No matter how they fight, the final result of the two sides is just a stalemate, and no one can do anything to the other, so it is not panicking at all now.
Now that these ground beetles are hunting, it must drag the vines to give the ground beetles time to transport the prey back.
At this time, the Zerg did not know that the grass group had been promoted to seven stars. Otherwise, the Death Worm would have immediately abandoned these teammates and returned to the Zerg territory.
This wrong decision led it into an abyss.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, the Death Worm realized that something was wrong and wanted to evacuate, but it was already too late.
"puff"!
The vines of the grass quickly covered the body of the death worm, and the long sharp teeth bit the body of the death worm crazily.
This time, unlike before, the cane easily tore off a large chunk of flesh from the death worm and swallowed it.
At the same time, countless tiny plant spores floated onto the body of the dead worm, then took root, absorbed the flesh and began to grow rapidly, and new vines broke out from the flesh.
The death worm turned its body in horror, but it was bound tightly by the grass ball and could not move at all. It could only feel the feeling of being bitten from countless places on its body.
Countless vines buried the death worm in the middle, and some vines even penetrated directly into the body of the death worm along its huge mouthparts.
The Zerg territory also noticed something was wrong at this time. With angry roars, the ground beetles rushed towards the grass ball, trying to rescue the death worms, and the golden ape also rushed out of the territory crazily.
The will of the insect mother's clone quickly descended on the death worm, and then retracted in just a moment.
Seven stars!
The unknown plant that swallowed the death worm actually reached seven stars.
Can't be saved!
The clone of the insect mother quickly made a decision in her heart, and the Golden Demon Ape, who was halfway through the march, shrank back in dismay.
In the perception of the worm mother clone, the life breath of the death worm is rapidly weakening. Even if it is barely supported by its strong recovery ability, death is only a matter of time.
With the distance from the Zerg territory to the battlefield, the Golden Demon Ape rushed over, and the battle was probably over. By then, the Golden Demon Ape would face a terrifying seven-star monster.
When the Golden Demon Ape goes out, it's just a matter of giving away one more head.
Moreover, the battlefield between the Death Worms and Grass Groups is underground. Even if the Golden Demon Ape comes to support them, it will not help.
Also retreating at the same time were the ground beetles that hunted with the death worms. This was a newly created hunting unit specially created by the insect mother's clone to adapt to the current situation.
Under the call of the insect mother clone, the ground beetles abandoned their prey and quickly retreated back to the Zerg territory.
The death worms are all dead. These little miscellaneous fish are just serving food outside.
Chu Xin glanced at them and let them go. Cao Tuan must now concentrate on killing this death worm. He must not give the opponent any chance of flesh and blood to escape and regenerate. He must eat it cleanly.
If the death worms run away because of catching a few ground beetles, then the gain outweighs the loss.
Of course, if the ground beetle doesn't have eyes and dares to come close, the grass ball won't mind swallowing it up as well.
Chu Xin hid in the space dug by Tie Lin in the pile of rocks, silently waiting for the grass ball to be swallowed up.
He habitually opened the information panel of the Zerg territory and checked the situation.
[Zerg Territory]: Four-star territory, current buildings: Brood, Gene Factory, Flesh Factory, Hatchery, Devouring Crepet*6, Venom Turret*5, Focused Bug Cannon*2; Garrisoned Troops: Tank Bugs*10, Tank bug*20, laser bug*5, needleworm*256, lurker*46, venom fly*50, parasitic brainworm*4.
Without checking for more than a day, the Zerg territory has undergone great changes.
It was actually promoted from the original three-star territory to the four-star territory, which really surprised Chu Xin, because one of his territory promotion tasks was to destroy the four-star territory.
He had always had a slight regret in his heart. This Zerg territory only had three stars, which could not meet his promotion conditions. He did not expect that the other party would be so cooperative, and he would be promoted to a fourth-level territory in the blink of an eye.
However, after the Zerg territory was promoted to four stars, there were many changes. The first was the addition of a defensive building called a shaped bug cannon, which had an ultra-long range of one kilometer.
In addition, the unit structure of the Zerg territory has also undergone great changes. In addition to the four-star tank bugs, there is also an additional unit called tank bugs, which is an advanced version of the tank bugs.
The two one- and two-star bugs, the knife bug and the swift slug bug, disappeared, replaced by two-star needle bugs with long-range attack capabilities, and lurkers with certain invisibility capabilities.
It can be clearly felt that the insect mother clone has realized its dangerous situation and is gradually transforming the Zerg territory from the original offensive and plundering mode to a turtle defense mode.
After going through this round of transformation and changes, Chu Xin could clearly see that the insect mother's clone, which was originally like a mountain of meat, had become smaller.
It seems that the Zerg territory has really reached its end. What Chu Xin needs to face is probably the strength that the Zerg now shows.
The only two unstable points here are: one is the clone of the mother insect, and it is uncertain how far its combat power and combat range can reach; the other is the four parasitic brain worms, of which only one Golden Demon Ape has appeared so far. , it is still unknown what moths the remaining three will do, and it is difficult to distinguish their traces in the view of the watchtower.
However, no matter how strong the Zerg territory is, Chu Xin will attack once the day after tomorrow.
It's best to destroy it all at once. If it can't be destroyed in one fell swoop, then just spend another week behind closed doors.
Now that the strength of his territory is growing freely, on the other hand, the development of the Zerg territory has come to a standstill, and it can only gradually perish under its own constant attacks.
Turning off the map, Chu Xin swiped two more Gray Fang tribes, and finally waited until the grass ball completely swallowed up the death worm.
After swallowing the death worm, Cao Tuan evolved a thick vine with super regenerative ability. It was as thick as a bucket and looked like a smaller death worm.
"Your task now is to guard the entrance of the Zerg Valley for me. As long as they dare to send bugs out, come and feed me one!" Chu Xin gave Cao Tuan a task. Seven-star it, even if the insect mother clone comes out. , are not necessarily false.
It is now impossible for the Zerg territory to organize an attack of the same scale as the attack on the ground python, and the grass ball has the ability to move. It is basically invincible underground.
"Master, bugs are disgusting, can you stop eating them?" Cao Tuan protested.
Cao Tuan's favorite food is demons whose bodies are burning with abyssal flames. In addition, he can also eat other normal strange beasts, but he has always been very resistant to bugs.
Chu Xin had given a firm order to kill the death worm, so Cao Tuan reluctantly ate it.
There is no way to deal with the death worm, and only this method can kill it most reliably.
"It's okay if you don't want to eat, as long as you kill him, just keep the mouth of the valley for me." Chu Xin said nonchalantly.
"That's no problem, leave it to me!" Cao Tuan readily agreed.
Chu Xin was relieved that the Zerg territory was guarded by grass balls. He crawled out from the pile of rocks, carrying iron scales, and joined the Red Winged Tiger team.
While the grass balls were devouring the death worms, the red-winged tigers had already captured the group of scimitar-antlered deer in great numbers, leaving only seven alive. The rest all died in the attack of the ground beetles. Many corpses were taken away by ground beetles.
Chu Xin didn't feel bad for losing such a large number of prey. After all, the death worm they exchanged was valuable enough.
After saying goodbye to the grass group, Chu Xin took the red-winged tiger and drove the group of scimitar-antlered deer back to the territory.
This time we walked until the sunset.
Under the setting sun, the territory seemed very quiet. Most people's activity areas were in the second half of the territory. In the front half of the territory, only ghost wolves and undead people could be seen returning from hunting from time to time.
Chu Xin led the red-winged tiger all the way through the territory and handed the bent-antlered deer to Wuli.
Deer are also a type of animal that can be bred for meat. Chu Xin doesn't know whether the meat is delicious. Anyway, it is bred here. If it is not delicious, it can be used as meat for the troops.
According to past understanding, venison should be a relatively nutritious meat, and the taste should not be very bad. However, because the value of velvet antlers is greater than that of venison, venison is rarely sold on the market.
However, it is impossible to breed these seven scimitar-antlered deer on a large scale in a short period of time, unless the entire herd can be brought back to the territory.
Now in the animal pen, Wuli has about seventeen or eight assistants, who are responsible for cutting grass, feeding, collecting eggs and other chores every day. As for him, in addition to coordinating the overall work of the animal pen, he is also responsible for paying attention to the piglets, black sheep, etc. The growth and domestication of these key groups such as woolly pigs.
The breeding of large-scale livestock is progressing slowly, but the scale of small exotic animals such as turkey-feathered chickens and water-blue rabbits is still expanding very quickly.
The environment in the animal pen is very stable. The turkey hens lay eggs very quickly, but very few hatch. The number growth is relatively slow, but the water blue rabbits are very exaggerated.
Under normal circumstances, rabbits can produce five or six litters per year, with a litter of eight or nine.
Now in the animal pen, there is no threat from natural enemies. In addition to eating, the water blue rabbits are breeding. The first batch of baby rabbits were successfully born not long after Chu Xin returned to the territory.
There are currently more than 500 blue rabbits being bred in the animal pens. If this trend continues, the number will soon increase several times.
The high-end livestock stables were occupied by piglets, so not many livestock were put in them. But in the high-end poultry stable, there are no such worries.
More than four hundred turkey feather chickens were sent to high-end animal pens to be domesticated, and at the same time, they relied on the function of accelerating reproduction to further expand their numbers.
The domestication effect of advanced animal pens is very good. After being domesticated, the temper of the turkey feather chickens will be much more restrained, and the egg production rate of the hens will also increase significantly.
Because of its docile character and the fact that it is not a bird, the Water Blue Rabbit was kept in an ordinary animal pen on one side.
Chu Xin is quite satisfied with the development in the animal pen. The freedom of chicken and rabbit meat is almost achieved, the freedom of pork has already begun, and the freedom of mutton and beef are still a bit far away.
Next, pay more attention to the traces of these two kinds of strange beasts, and strive to tame a group of cattle and sheep as soon as possible.
Over there in the farmland, the emerald white jade, um, cabbage, has finished flowering and seed collection. Each seed has basically reached about 20 seeds, and the next batch of sowing will begin immediately.
The wheat is growing well and is lush and green. It has entered the heading stage. After accelerated growth, it will be mature and harvestable in about two weeks.
Potatoes will probably be harvested in just over a week, and they will become the main food for the people in the future.
Sweet potatoes, corn and other crop seeds brought back from the Jade Empire have been sown. They are still in the seedling stage and will take some time to mature.
When these crops are grown and harvested, Chu Xin's food will be greatly improved. It will not be as monotonous as it is now, with only meat all day long and no trace of green in sight.
