When Su Xiao returned to the area around the Bug Nest, it was still in the middle of evolving. Judging by its appearance, it would not finish anytime soon.
Whether the evolution succeeded or failed depended entirely on Jila herself. This was a considerable risk. If Jila's evolution failed, all of Su Xiao's arrangements would come to nothing.
It was completely unrealistic to obtain a Zerg army without taking any risks. Su Xiao had thought of this risk long ago. His earlier use of the Seed of Withering had been precisely to reduce it.
After waiting a full three hours, the Bug Nest, which had been contracted into itself, stretched out. Jila, inside the Bug Nest, released a mental fluctuation. She needed energy.
The mantis-armors around the Bug Nest became busy, carrying the prey they had accumulated over the past three hours to the nest. The Bug Nest's rate of consumption was noticeably faster.
