Thinking like this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look at Guan Xiao twice.
As the most considerate subordinate around Qiu Tu, Guan Xiao is considered the most seductive and charming among all the women in Qiu Tu.
On weekdays, she is radiant, but today she seems to be even more charming and enchanting.
It's hard to describe that feeling. If I have to put it into words, it's that I'm still the same person, but it's like my whole person has been reborn, and I'm brighter.
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu's heart moved, and then he asked, "Have you been promoted?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's inquiry, Guan Xiao smiled and nodded.
The aura on her body was slightly exposed, and the aura of a third-level early-stage catastrophe was immediately revealed.
During this period, in order to advance to the eighth level, Qiu Tu integrated all the resources of the three major shelters.
Most of these resources were used by him and Zhao Ji. But a small part was also distributed to his close subordinates.
Therefore, the strength of everyone around Qiu Tu increased dramatically.
Guan Xiao was promoted from the middle of the second level to the third level, which can only be said to be very satisfactory.
However, as for Cataclysers, when they reach the third level, they will be reborn and use the power of cataclysm to reshape their bodies.
And no matter how many diseases, disabilities, and hidden diseases the body originally had, they will all be restored after being promoted to the third level.
This also explains the changes in Guan Xiao.
However, the third-level catastrophes are really not enough for Qiu Tu now.
His dark soldiers are even at the fourth and fifth levels. And the enemies have all reached the eighth level.
In comparison, Guan Xiao's third level is not even cannon fodder.
If Guan Xiao hadn't been able to do things well, be obedient, sensible, and provide emotional value to Qiu Tu, she would have been marginalized long ago.
Of course, people's hearts are fleshy. Guan Xiao can be regarded as the old man around Qiu Tu, and he is also the one who serves Qiu Tu the most on weekdays - he has profoundly implemented the strategic policy of "if there is anything to do, it's up to Xiao, and if there's nothing to do, it's up to Guan Xiao".
Therefore, Qiu Tu now has a very deep relationship with her.
Now that Guan Xiao's strength has improved, I know she is happy. So although Qiu Tu didn't care, he still gave some emotional value in a timely manner.
He withdrew his gaze, and then continued to practice his sword in front of Zhao Ji while casually chatting, "Not bad, not bad, I've reached the third level so quickly."
After finishing speaking, thinking that he was already at the eighth level, Qiu Tu always felt like he was scolding someone. So he decisively changed the topic, "By the way, now that he is at the third level, he should get new catastrophic abilities, right?"
Before a cataclysm becomes a god, each level 1, level 3, and level 5 will gain a cataclysmic ability. That's why Qiu Tu asked this question.
Sure enough, this topic successfully hit Guan Xiao's point. She winked at Qiu Tu charmingly, and then said with a sweet smile, "Yes."
It is a bit exaggerated to say that the relationship between the two is that of life and death. But their interests are definitely completely tied together. One will be prosperous and the other will suffer. A catastrophic ability is not a secret.
Therefore, Qiu Tu asked casually, "What's your name?"
Guan Xiao said with a smile, "Infection."
"Infection?" Upon hearing this strange name of a catastrophic ability, Qiu Tu paused in his movements.
He looked at Guan Xiao hesitantly and asked, "Isn't your ability related to "Insect Bird"?"
"Why did it suddenly become "infected"?"
Guan Xiao's catastrophic ability is called "Mother Insect". The effect is that her spirit can condense a female insect that is connected to her.
Then through the female insect, she can have a 360-degree sight range without blind spots, and can control insects, birds and other small creatures, and communicate with them.
In New Territories City back then, most of the reasons why Guan Xiao's intelligence capabilities were so outstanding were attributed to this ability.
At this time, after hearing Qiu Tu's words, the expression on Guan Xiao's face became even brighter. As if she was hiding some happy event, she suppressed a smile and said, "Yes. My ability is the same as that of "worms".
"Bird" related.
"However, this does not mean that my second ability cannot be "infection"."
Among the women in Qiu Tu, Guan Xiao has the best brains. She is squeezing out toothpaste like she is squeezing out toothpaste, so she obviously has something on her mind.
Therefore, Qiu Tu simply stopped what he was doing and looked at Guan Xiao, waiting for her to perform.
Sure enough, seeing Qiu Tu stopped, Guan Xiao also started to get serious.
She did not explain her second "catastrophic ability" first, but first talked about the information about "puppet ants".
She said, "Sir, while we are talking about my abilities, I would like to report to you the situation of the "Puppet Ants" first."
Qiu Tu looked at Guan Xiao, nodded slightly, and extended his hand to signal.
Guan Xiao, "In the past two days, according to your order, I began to conduct surveys and inspections in major cities."
"We focused on cities that are relatively close to the "Northeast Region". However, nothing was found."
"However, I did not take it lightly, but tried to let the "Insect Mother" control more birds and mosquitoes to penetrate into the disaster area."
"After infiltrating several cities, I actually found clues."
Qiu Tu's eyes were deep and thoughtful, as if he had thought of something.
Guan Xiao, "I found that among the anti-government armed forces in the disaster area, "fake people" gradually appeared."
"Puppet?" Qiu Tu muttered the name, and then asked, "Are they humans controlled by "puppet ants"?"
Guan Xiao nodded and her expression turned serious. She said, "Yes. Those humans are like other creatures. Their souls and consciousness are trapped in the brain and become a body."
"But their bodies were taken over by "puppet ants" and became the hosts of "puppet ants"."
Qiu Tu nodded slightly to show that he was listening.
Guan Xiao's expression became more and more serious. She said, "While I was investigating, I found that these 'puppet ants' are very extraordinary."
"Not only do they possess a certain amount of wisdom, but all their thoughts can be linked together to form a "spiritual network."
"In the "spiritual network", their thoughts are thousands of miles apart, but they can still share or come into contact."
"Moreover, the spiritual power between them can be pooled and rented."
"So, even though they are small in stature, they are actually very powerful creatures."
"Moreover," at this point, Guan Xiao paused and said, "their entire group are all "catastrophic creatures"."
"That is to say, there are no ordinary individuals among their group. From birth, they have surpassed most other races."
Qiu Tu was slightly surprised when he heard this.
Although he had heard of some powerful races that were born as catastrophic creatures, he really didn't expect that a little bug could do this.
At this time, the expression on Guan Xiao's face became more serious and serious. She said, "In the past few days, I have also carefully studied the habits of "puppet ants"."
"I found that they are very similar to ants. They are both built around the queen. In a tribe, there are queens, priests, and soldiers. The division of labor is clear."
"The 'Mother Queen' is the core of the entire tribe. She usually only has the second level of strength. Her strength is average, but her status is lofty."
“‘Priests’ are the most powerful ‘puppet ants’. When they mature, they will surely be able to grow to the third level and be reborn, possessing two ‘catastrophic abilities’.”
"On weekdays, they are responsible for guarding the Queen Mother and commanding the 'soldiers'."
"And 'soldiers' are the most common 'puppet ants'. They are generally first-level strength, and the stronger ones may reach the peak of first-level or even second-level strength."
"Their main purpose is to find disaster resources and new hosts."
"When new disaster resources and hosts are found, they will be brought back to the "Mother Queen"."
"As long as the "Mother Queen" absorbs the power and resources of disaster, it can "lay eggs asexually" and hatch new "puppet ants"."
"The new "puppet ants" will parasitize on the host, then turn into "pseudo-humans" and continue to develop."
"It is this complete set of processes that allows the "puppet ants" to grow rapidly."
Speaking of this, Guan Xiao paused for a moment, and then said, "But, sir, I believe you have heard the problem here."
Qiu Tu nodded slightly, with a serious face, "Yes."
He said, "If the 'Puppet Ant' tribe wants to develop rapidly, it needs the power of catastrophe and the materials of catastrophe."
"Although the disaster area cannot be said to be in ruins, there are not many disaster materials. This should not be able to support the large-scale development of "Puppet Ants"."
"But, you just said that you found traces of "puppet ants" after infiltrating several cities. This probably means that "puppet ants" have already overrun the "disaster zone"."
"This is not consistent with their lack of resources."
"so."
Guan Xiao smiled and followed Qiu Tu's words, "So, these 'puppet ants' must have been deliberately fed by someone."
Qiu Tu nodded slightly. He had the same analysis as Guan Xiao.
However, although the information about the "Puppet Ant" is known, it seems to have little to do with Guan Xiao's new catastrophic ability "Contagion".
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look at Guan Xiao, and then asked, "What does this have to do with your new catastrophic ability?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Guan Xiao smiled and said, "Sir, this really has a lot to do with it."
"Because, my new catastrophic ability was inspired by the "Puppet Ant"."
She said with a distant look, "Actually, before I met the commander, I really didn't expect that one day I would get here and become a third-level catastrophe."
"The third-level catastrophic ones were the sub-top combat power of the 8th Sanctuary at that time."
"In addition, my path to catastrophe is too niche, so I don't have any plans for my "path to catastrophe."
"Because I don't know how to upgrade a path like "Life-Insect Bird" and how to develop forward."
"To control bigger birds? Or to control more mosquitoes?"
Speaking of this, Guan Xiao's expression became heavy, "Besides, compared to humans, their lives are too short. I need to replace a group of helpers almost every once in a while."
"This makes me extremely pessimistic about my future path. It is also the reason why my "catastrophic path" progress is so slow."
After talking about his past events, Guan Xiao paused for a moment, then changed his tone and said, "But this time, I saw the "Puppet Worm", and I suddenly seemed to have found my own path."
Her eyes slowly brightened, and her expression became more and more confident. She said, "I suddenly realized that I shouldn't stick to each individual. Aren't there many advantages of insects and birds? Isn't it the emergence of adult groups?
?”
"In this case, why can't I directly control each group of people like the "puppet ants"?"
"And since the life of ordinary insect birds is short, then why don't I control the catastrophic creatures of insects?!"
Speaking of this, Guan Xiao's face became more and more cheerful. She said, "As soon as this idea came to me, I couldn't control it."
There is no mistake, every song is published and every content is read one by one!
"So, I started to try to fine-tune my catastrophic path, and when I was practicing and advancing, I kept deducing my catastrophic path and the direction of the catastrophic ability I wanted to obtain."
"As a result, when I advanced to the third level, my catastrophic path actually changed, and I really gained the catastrophic ability I wanted."
After hearing Guan Xiao's words, Qiu Tu couldn't help but glance at Zhao Ji.
Qiu Tu still remembered that when Zhao Ji gave him science knowledge, she said that the "catastrophic path" of catastrophic creatures was not static.
The "catastrophic path" is transformed by the spirit of the creature and is related to the subconscious mind of the creature. It is the path they most want to take in the past and now.
Therefore, if a creature undergoes a major change, or if it was naive before and is now mature, its path to disaster may change.
At that time, after Qiu Tu learned about this phenomenon, he thought it was very interesting, but he didn't expect to see it with his own eyes now.
Thinking about this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but ask, "Then what became of your catastrophic path?"
Guan Xiao's eyes were firm, "Life-Insect Swarm."
Qiu Tu's eyes were thoughtful. Guan Xiao's approach was equivalent to becoming more refined, giving up "flying birds", and then switching to "specializing" in "insects".
Moreover, she has indeed changed from an "individual (insect)" to a "collective (swarm)" as I just said.
Such a change has its pros and cons. But it does strengthen Guan Xiao's control over the insect population.
Thinking like this, Qiu Tu had some guesses about Guan Xiao's new catastrophic ability.
He said, "So. Your new catastrophic ability "Infection" is actually used on an entire insect swarm to speed up your control?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Guan Xiao smiled and nodded, and then she said, "After changing the "catastrophic path", my path to advancement has become extremely clear."
"As long as the individual swarms I control are stronger, more numerous, and the overall strength is stronger, my strength will be stronger."
"Although this will make me and the insect swarm both prosper and suffer, it will also make my strength grow by leaps and bounds."
"And the ability of "infection" is also related to my path."
"When I come into contact with an insect, the "Insect Mother" will release a special catastrophic power "Insect Plague" to infect that insect."
"The 'Insect Plague' will absorb the catastrophic power, mental power, and vitality of that insect, and then generate and accumulate it in its body."
"And when that insect comes into contact with insects of its own group, the 'pesticide' will spread to those insects, infecting them, and so on."
"When more than 50% of the individuals in an insect group are infected, I will gain control of that insect group, and the "Insect Mother" will also have the ability to link those insects and control those insects."
"It is precisely because of how special this ability is that I named it 'infection'."
Qiu Tu had a thoughtful expression on his face.
I have to say that Guan Xiao's new ability is indeed very interesting. From controlling individual insects to directly controlling the group, he usurps the control of the insect group.
This will indeed bring about a qualitative change in Guan Xiao's ability.
This will not only multiply her "development efficiency" several times, but will also greatly expand her intelligence scope.
After all, Qiu Tu did not forget that this ability was born out of the spiritual link of the "Puppet Worm".
And just now Guan Xiao also said that the "Insect Mother" can link those insects, so this shows that the new ability's information transmission method will no longer be the previous many-to-one: multiple insects report to Guan Xiao; but a large network
information structure.
As long as there are swarms of insects controlled by Guan Xiao at regular intervals, her eyes can spread all over the world!
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but think of "puppet bugs".
Guan Xiao gave up "controlling birds" in exchange for "Insect Specialization". And she also mentioned controlling insect catastrophic creatures before.
so.
Thinking like this, Qiu Tu suddenly understood why Guan Xiao was so abnormal and excited today.
He couldn't help but look at Guan Xiao, and then asked, "So. You used your new ability "Infection" on the "Puppet Insect"?"
When Guan Xiao heard this, his face really burst into laughter.
She said, "Yes. After I was promoted, I immediately went to the "catastrophic area" to control a few "puppet bugs" and then used "infection" on them."
"Right now, the "pest epidemic" is still lurking. In the replication stage, it has only controlled more than thirty "puppet bugs"."
"When it spreads more and more widely, the "pestemic" absorbs more and more catastrophic power, and more and more people are infected, there will definitely be a major outbreak."
"And as long as there is more than half, I can snatch the "control of the group" from the "Puppet Insect Queen"."
"At that time, there will be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of puppet insect armies, and each of them will have physical fitness and strength that exceeds that of ordinary people."
Guan Xiao was so happy that she could hardly close her mouth, "My strength is likely to skyrocket."
"Fourth level, fifth level, and even sixth level are not dreams."
Speaking of this, Guan Xiao paused and said with a smile in his eyes,
"Especially when I think about that mysterious man who kept spending resources to cultivate "puppet bugs" in order to mess up the "Northwest Region", I feel even more relaxed."
When Qiu Tu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
Indeed, as Guan Xiao said, the mysterious person who cultivated the "Puppet Insect" was obviously not well-intentioned. Most likely, he came for the "Northwest Sanctuary".
Who would have known that in the end, the catastrophic abilities of Guan Xiao's two "insect-controllers" completely defeated each other, which not only invalidated all the plans of the mysterious man, but also made Guan Xiao's wedding dress.
This is indeed something that makes me happy just thinking about it.
In addition, are "puppet bugs" also considered as living beings? Can a comprehensive evaluation be added to Qiu Tu?
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but pay more attention to Guan Xiao.
It has to be said that the original Guan Xiao here in Qiu Tu had only ability value, emotional value and physical value.
Now that he has fine-tuned his catastrophic ability, Guan Xiao has completely opened up his upward channel, and has truly become a partner that Qiu Tu can trust.
As for Qiu Tu, he has no other merits except that he is either lustful or considerate of his female subordinates.
Now Guan Xiao's potential has become so strong, and don't forget that the "Northeast Region" and "Southeast Region" seem to be suffering from the "Puppet Insect".
There is no telling how many "puppet bugs" of unknown strength among them can improve Qiu Tu's points.
Therefore, Guan Xiao's ability, at least in this "God Trial", is S level.
Therefore, Qiu Tu also waved his hand and directly approved dozens of more catastrophic materials and resources for Guan Xiao to help her continue her promotion and improve her strength.
Of course Guan Xiao accepted the order excitedly, then went down to collect resources and continued to "infect" the puppet worms.
Just like that, he watched Guan Xiao leave. Qiu Tu paused for a moment at the "96" loyalty points above Guan Xiao's head, and then turned around and looked at Zhao Ji beside him.
He smiled and said, "I didn't expect that a disaster that so many experts are helpless to solve would be solved by Guan Xiao."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji, who had witnessed the entire exchange between the two, said lightly, "I remember you told me that there is a saying in your hometown, which is called 'Don't open the champagne at halftime.'"
"Judging from the exchange between you two just now, Guan Xiao has a high probability of being able to solve the "puppet plague" in the "Northwest Region"."
"But neither the Northeastern region nor the Northwest region knows how long they have developed, and no one knows what those 'puppet bugs' have evolved into."
"So, it's better to be cautious."
Hearing Zhao Ji's reminder, Qiu Tu was immediately frightened, and then quickly calmed down.
Zhao Ji was right, she was indeed infected by Guan Xiao's excited state just now.
This is a big taboo for those in power.
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but look at Zhao Ji and wanted to reflect on it himself.
As a result, at this moment, Zhao Ji suddenly looked at Qiu Tu and said calmly, "However, compared to her ability to restrain the "Puppet Worm", I am more surprised by you."
Speaking of this, Zhao Ji paused and then said, "You actually learned how to "open the sky"?"
Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but look at Zhao Ji.
Did he hear it wrong? There seemed to be a hint of appreciation and wonder in Zhao Ji's tone?
Is she praising herself?
Is this still the guy who has his eyes higher than his head and doesn't care about anyone?
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but be a little surprised.
After being surprised, a thought popped up in his mind: Could it be that he felt comfortable licking Zhao Ji during this period?
This glacier is finally melting and starting to produce water?
