Volume 1: Chapter 11 Broken-tooth zergling
🕑 Added 2025-04-29 15:14:55 +0000 UTC"What kind of creature's eggs are these?"
Kiana looked at the egg not far away that was still beating slightly.
She is very curious.
"…Don't go over there yet."
Skadi stretched out her hand to stop the white-haired ball who wanted to find out what was going on.
"It could be a new species of sea urchin."
She said.
From the memories of the sea god, we can see that there are many ways for the sea to reproduce.
Oviparous, viviparous, mitotic, parasitic...
The sea breams have tried every possible method of reproduction to determine the best method for a large group.
Just——
Skadi had never seen purple eggs.
And the style of the egg...seems a little strange.
Just like the three little purple creatures at my feet.
But this egg is definitely from Seaborn.
Because according to the distribution of the sea turtle corpses, it can be determined that these sea turtles fought with the Agor people in this city in order to protect the egg.
For Seaborn, protecting his compatriots is an instinct engraved in his genes.
The slightly beating egg was tinged with a hint of the sea scent.
But that breath seems familiar...
Out of the corner of his eye, the deep-sea hunter caught a glimpse of a small figure running out.
Her hand stopped Kiana's chest, but Zerg just lowered his head slightly and passed over the hand.
"Zerg!"
Skadi opened her eyes wide.
If you approach rashly like this, it will be very dangerous!
Maybe some kind of face-hugger will jump out of the egg.
Caught off guard, even biological weapons designed specifically for Seaborn would be affected!
"Zerg's fellow tribesman!"
The little insect swarm leader raised the purple insect egg at this moment.
As if sensing the approach of a living creature, the eggs began to jump more vigorously, as if they would hatch at any moment.
"Zerg's people?"
At some point, the white-haired ball also ran to Zerg's side.
She reached out and poked the throbbing egg.
Is this how Zerg was born?
Kiana couldn't help but imagine a scene -
The tiny insect eggs were beating, and then the creature inside was struggling hard, trying to break through the eggshell.
Finally, a small crack appeared on the egg, and a very cute head emerged from it.
Just like the egg in front of you.
Wait, this egg in front of me?
The upper part of the egg suddenly cracked open, revealing a tiny creature.
It was a creature that was also out of tune with this world.
It has black bean-like eyes, an open "W"-shaped mouth, and two wing-like organs on its back.
“So cute!”
Looking at such a cute creature, Kiana had stars in her eyes.
"It's a zergling!"
Zerg lifted it from the egg.
Since there was no fungal blanket to provide nutrients, only one zergling hatched from the egg.
And one of the zergling's teeth was broken.
The external manifestation is that the "W"-shaped mouth, which should be regular, has an abnormally straight part.
“…”
The tiny zergling stuck out its purple tongue.
The black bean-like eyes looked at Zerg, then at the white-haired two-legged beast beside the swarm leader.
"Zerg, can you let me hold you for a minute?"
The white-haired ball made such a request.
"Well, don't bite her."
Tilting his head slightly, Zerg said this.
"How could I possibly bite it!"
Kiana put her hands on her hips, indicating that she didn't have any weird quirks.
It's just that this creature called zergling is so cute.
At most she would just rub it.
"Zerg is telling it."
The Swarm Master explained.
"Why?"
Kiana was stunned.
"Hahaha, it's okay, Zerg."
Looking at this cute little creature, the white-haired ball breathed a sigh of relief.
How much power can such a small creature have?
Even if you get bitten, you won't die.
She thought.
“…”
Skadi covered her forehead.
This is the city of Agor that was ravaged by the sea, but Kiana and Zerg seem to have no fear at all.
But it's not surprising.
One claimed to be from another world, and the other was a biological weapon created by the Agor people.
I'm afraid he has never even seen a living Seaborn.
"Here, Kiana!"
Picking up the zergling, Zerg handed it to the white-haired ball.
“Slurp!”
As soon as Kiana took the puppy-like zergling, she was licked on the face by a pink tongue.
"Hahaha, stop licking, it's itchy."
The white-haired ball just felt a little itchy.
The creature in her hand looked at her with its black bean-sized eyes, and the small wings behind it were flapping constantly.
“How cute.”
Kiana felt her heart melt.
“…”
However, Skadi always felt that this creature called Zergling by Zerg was not as harmless as it appeared.
“Gah!”
The zergling stuck out its tongue and stared at the white-furred ball in a silly way.
"Kiana, it said it's hungry."
Zerg said at this time.
"What if I don't have any food?"
Kiana was a little distressed.
When I came here, I didn't bring any food with me.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have hugged Zerg and tried to stop him from suffocating Skadi.
“There’s food all over the ground.”
Zerg looked at the white-haired ball with a silly look on his face.
He picked up a dead creature from the ground and swallowed it in one gulp.
“…”
Kiana's eye twitched.
She silently put down the zergling in her hand.
In just a blink of an eye, a puppy-like creature instantly appeared next to the corpse of a creature.
“This speed…”
The white-haired ball was stunned.
It seems a bit too fast.
If she didn't pay close attention, she wouldn't even notice it.
“Click…click…click…”
The zergling used its "W"-shaped mouth to bite the corpse of a creature that was much larger than it, and then began to chew it with a silly look on its face.
"…What a terrifying creature."
Skadi looked at the puppy-like creature.
She couldn't help but comment.
Faster than most sea creatures.
And its body is so small that it can sneak into the ventilation ducts in the city of Agor.
I don't know about their direct combat capability, but I think it's more than enough to deal with ordinary Agors.
If a dozen or so Zerglings were to run into an Agor city, that city would no longer be safe.
"Skadi, do you want to eat?"
A corpse of a sea urchin appeared in front of him, and the deep-sea hunter looked down.
It's a small child.
There are also some twisted limbs at the corners of its mouth.
However, Zerg's expression remained unchanged.
"Gulp."
The last bit of Seaborn's remaining limbs also disappeared.
“…No need.”
After a few seconds of silence, Skadi said this.
What kind of horrible existence did the Agor people create?
She couldn't help but think about it.
I thought the Deep Sea Hunter was already the top biological achievement of the Agor people, but now it seems that they have developed even more advanced biological weapons.
"Ahem, Zerg, please don't eat these things, okay?"
Kiana felt a little uncomfortable looking at the little child who was eating raw sea cucumber.
How can such a cute child eat these things?
"But Zerg has nothing else to eat. Those stones and metals don't taste good."
The Swarm Master said so.
The nutrition and taste of these sea creatures are better than those of stones and metals.
If not Seaborn, Zerge doesn’t know what else he can eat.
"…It's decided. From now on, I will be the one feeding you!"
Kiana is on fire!
Zerg is so small, so even if his appetite is big, it probably won’t be that big.
Although he only had 100,000 yen in his hand, it didn't matter. It would be easy to feed Zerg!
Working warrior Kiana is about to join the action!
“Ouch!”
As Kiana burned, the Deep Sea Hunter raised his hand.
In addition, little children were also lifted up.
The two of them looked into each other's eyes.
