Expansion and Traces of Humans

When Ye Yi brought over the Gale Leopard's Demon Core, Ye You once again displayed unparalleled speed, snatching towards the Demon Core...

However, Ye Yi raised his right hand, dodging Ye You's action. "What are you doing?"

"My Emperor promised it to me. If you don't believe me, ask My Emperor?" Ye You looked as if he had nothing to fear.

Ye Luo nodded with a wry smile, and only then did Ye You, as if he had obtained a treasure, snatch the Demon Core and swallow it in one gulp!

"Buzz!!" This time, as soon as the Demon Core was swallowed, a surge of cyan elemental power spun around Ye You's body. Then, on Ye You's forehead, a cyan inscription also appeared.

Ye You opened his eyes and excitedly waved his hand towards the distance. "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" Three Wind Blades shot out instantly. The powerful thing was that these three Wind Blades were connected end-to-end. A tree as thick as a thigh was cut into thirds by the first Wind Blade with a bang, then two-thirds with another bang, and finally, with a third bang, the tree was completely severed!

The Demon Core of a Level 3 high-level Demon Beast was indeed extraordinary!

After doing all this, Ye You held his head high and chest out. Although his expression wasn't very pronounced, his actions combined with his expression clearly showed great pride...

"Idiot..." Ye Meng softly chided. With a movement of his right hand, a blade appeared, and he casually swung it at a nearby tree. A tree even thicker than the one cut by the Wind Blade was severed directly from its trunk!

The pride on Ye You's face instantly froze.

Looking at the two extra trees on the ground, Ye Luo sincerely exclaimed, "You guys are a hundred times better lumberjacks than Baldy Qiang. If Boss Li hired you, he'd be on Forbes by now..."

"Who is Baldy Qiang? Who is Boss Li?" The Ye Family Four Generals asked in unison.

Ye Luo gave a mysterious smile. "Guess..."

"Ding, combat detected 100 meters north of the base. Do you wish to enter combat view?" Suddenly, the Zerg Base issued an alert to Ye Luo.

"Combat?" Ye Luo was startled. That precious base was his current capital, and he couldn't afford any mishaps.

"Ye You, transform into a leopard!" Ye Luo suddenly commanded.

Without any nonsense or questions, Ye You immediately transformed into a black leopard the size of a calf. Ye Luo flipped onto its back. "The base is in trouble, let's go back..."

Ye You carried Ye Luo at extreme speed, while Ye Luo closed his eyes, directly entering combat view in his mind.

One hundred meters outside the base, more than thirty Magic Wolves were fighting more than a dozen Zerglings.

The Magic Wolves' most proficient attack, Wind Blade, was forced to be swallowed back because the Zerglings jumped directly into the Magic Wolf pack to avoid friendly fire!

A Zergling lowered its head, its tail raised, its long neck and tail almost parallel, resembling a Velociraptor during a hunt. The Zergling suddenly leaped at a Magic Wolf, its claws leaving six deep, bone-revealing wounds on the Magic Wolf's back. The Magic Wolf cried out in pain, and its companions immediately launched a rescue!

Unexpectedly, that Zergling was extremely powerful in combat. As a nearby Magic Wolf pounced, the Zergling flicked its tail with a "snap!" The leaping Magic Wolf was actually whipped away by the Zergling's tail! The Zergling's claws did not stop, and one claw slashed across the Magic Wolf's throat!

"So the Zergling's tail is also this powerful. Indeed, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles..." Ye Luo's evaluation of the Zergling's combat methods improved once again.

Although the Magic Wolves outnumbered the Zerglings by more than two to one, the Zerglings' powerful melee combat ability, in just five minutes, completely ended the battle. All thirty-six Magic Wolves were dead. Their corpses were directly dragged back to the Hatchery by Drones. The Demon Cores of Demon Beasts were valuable energy sources, and their flesh contained far more energy than the surrounding plants and trees...

The price of this brief engagement was merely minor injuries to three Zerglings. These injuries would quickly heal as long as they returned to the Creep around the Hatchery.

When Ye Luo returned to the Hatchery, centered around the Hatchery, a radius of thirty meters was covered by viscous, brownish-red Creep. The tall trees within the range had become nutrients for the Creep, and the Hatchery, hidden among the trees, became increasingly apparent...

"Although this wave of Magic Wolves was weak, it signifies that our base has been discovered by the surrounding Demon Beasts. Low-level Demon Beasts might shy away, but it's inevitable that some curious high-level Demon Beasts will come. It seems we need to speed up our development..." Ye Luo said softly as he watched the last Magic Wolf's corpse being dragged into the Hatchery.

Ye Feng said slowly, "My Emperor, when we were hunting the Gale Leopard earlier, I sensed a not weak fluctuation to our south. The fluctuation exceeded my sensing range, so I couldn't detect the specific location or mineral grade, but I can be 100% sure it's a mineral vein!"

"A mineral vein?" Ye Luo's eyes lit up. With a mineral vein, the development of the Zerg base could enter a phase of rapid growth...

"Base, how many resources do we have now?" Ye Luo asked proactively.

"My Emperor, we currently have Level 1 Energy: 9 points... At the same time, we have 23 Drones and 19 Zerglings..."

"From now on, Drones will no longer be mutated into Drones. We will focus all our efforts on mutating Zerglings!"

The cost of mutating one Drone is 10 energy. The cost of mutating one Zergling is 20 energy. With the current larvae provided by the Level 1 base, as long as the energy is sufficient, 50 Zerglings can be mutated in one day. With these Zerglings, Ye Luo will truly have the capital for development.

Since his transmigration, he had been in a state of excitement. After the excitement subsided, Ye Luo felt deeply exhausted. Protected by the Ye Family Four Generals, he fell into a deep sleep...

And he slept for a whole day. When he opened his eyes again, it was already dusk the next day. Around him, nearly eighty Zerglings formed several patrol squads, constantly patrolling the Creep. At the edge of the base, an area of a hundred meters in radius had now become an ocean of brownish-red Creep!

"Ooh..." Ye Luo stretched with great satisfaction, and the Battle Armor on his body slowly disappeared. He slept inside the Hatchery, wearing Battle Armor to sleep so as not to get covered in slime.

"How long have I slept?"

"My Emperor, a total of twenty-five hours and seven minutes..." Ye Meng quickly replied.

Ye Luo nodded, looking at the surrounding Zerglings with great satisfaction. Seeing him awake, Ye Feng immediately walked over. "My Emperor, we have discovered traces of humans..."

"What..." The grogginess from just waking up from sleep vanished instantly. Ye Luo's eyes widened. "Traces of humans? Are you sure?"

Ye Feng nodded. "Ten hours ago, seven people passed by 500 meters south of our base. Judging by their clothing and equipment, the civilization level of the intelligent life on this planet is not high..."

At this moment, Ye Luo wasn't concerned about the level of human civilization. His heart was already filled with the surprise of discovering humans.

Even though his body had been modified and he was now a member of the Zerg, he had grown up in human society for twenty years. In his heart, he still had great affection and a sense of belonging towards humans.

"All Zerglings stay at the base. Ye You, you will stay at the base to command the Zerglings. If you detect any enemy activity, immediately alert me. Ye Feng, Ye Meng, Ye Yi, you will accompany me south to enter human society!" Ye Luo said with slight excitement.
