Inside the valley serving as the base camp, the Bug Nest towered high. On the Primordial Continent, a seventh-rank Bug Nest stood nearly 180 meters tall, but in this world, a seventh-rank Bug Nest was only a little over 80 meters high. The difference in world systems had a highly tangible impact on an extreme race like the demonic Zerg.
Su Xiao did not care about that. Gaining a higher upper limit naturally came at a price. The Bug Nest being only a little over 80 meters tall was also a good thing. Although its troop-production speed had been reduced, it was easier to conceal. Since the Bug Nest did not rise above the valley, it would not be easily discovered unless someone flew over the valley.
Su Xiao was not worried about troop-production speed. Jila was only "Queen-class" for now. Once she advanced to "Empress-class," the Bug Nest would reach the eighth rank. By then, its troop-production speed would definitely be no slower than it had been at its peak, and might even be faster.
As for reaching "Overlord-class," that would be a new height Jila had never attained before.
The situation in the south was that several "Empress-class" Zerg mother bodies were engaged in a sustained war with the Empire's Third Fleet.
The Zerg of this world developed through mining and were only semi-vegetarian, but as Zerg, their combat ability should not be weak.
Benny, who had gone out to scout, had already discovered two eighth-rank Bug Nests. Both had been established by "Empress-class" Zerg mother bodies. Taking their own base camp as the reference point, the two eighth-rank Bug Nests were located in the northwest and northeast—on the left and right sides ahead of their base camp.
The one on the left was the "Kara Bug Nest."
