43. Bitter Battle (3)
Just as Loki rushed towards Juri's side, the already unoptimistic situation on Juri's side became even more serious. The insects gushing out of the cave seemed to be endless, doubling the pressure on the already stressed women.
However, fortunately, so far, the combat effectiveness of the insects that appeared is not very high, so despite the constant injuries, with the support of life potions, the three of Yanye, Matsudaira Motoyasu and Kikyo can still save Zhuri and Shion behind them. Moreover, when the pressure of the frontal battlefield is too high, Ba, as an assassin, will always emerge from nowhere, harvest a large patch of worms, and then disappear.
However, the Zerg are not a low-IQ race. Although the bugs in this plane are only a drop in the ocean for the Zerg, it does not mean that these bugs will not use some small tricks.
If Loki had been here, with his knowledge of the Zerg, he would have pointed out that while the Zerg liked to use the Bug Sea tactics, they didn't like to make senseless sacrifices. Tactics like the one that are completely disproportionate to the results are certainly just an illusion. In fact. In the place where Zhu Li and the others could not see, there were dozens of insects of all sizes digging big holes in the earth and then burrowing into them.
Since the insects on the front were coming in waves, Juri couldn't use his detection magic at all. Shion instinctively felt that something was not quite right out of the martial artist's instincts, but the work at hand left her no time to think about this trivial matter. Kikyo ...... What kind of intuition can she have with her big grinning personality. Matsudaira Motoyasu, like Zhu Li, is more inclined to the aspect of the think tank, so the intuition of any martial artist is too far away for her. Yan Ye also felt a hint of danger, but she was not experienced enough in combat, and she thought that this sense of threat came from the endless insects around her, so she didn't pay attention at all. As for Bama...... It should be said that it is providential. If it was the second-generation Ba who was present at this time, that is, the Ba who was called the Sword Saint Shrine Maiden, then she would definitely be able to feel that dangerous aura, and then use her high mobility to investigate. But it's a pity that the chin at the moment is just a martial artist shrine maiden of the week, and she doesn't feel anything about this invisible danger.
It wasn't long before the women, who were in the middle of a fierce battle, felt a shake on the ground, and they all instinctively became vigilant. But until this time, they had not thought of where the danger was coming from, and thought it was another group of mammoths.
It wasn't until the ground in the middle of the women's formation suddenly collapsed that they realized something was wrong. But it's clear that it's too late. More than a dozen insects had already appeared in the middle of the women, splitting the formation of the women into two halves.
Most of these bugs are oblate, round bugs that are about half a person tall. They are covered in a carapace, and their six legs, which are not too short, look very powerful. But if Loki had seen the bugs here, he would have recognized them from the large, extremely conspicuous and iconic two sickle-shaped bony plates on their backs. That's right, this is the main tank of the early Zerg in Interstellar II., the cockroach. Cockroaches with burrowing claws are the only bugs that can move while burrowing in regular combat. So it's not hard to understand why these cockroaches are here.
In the midst of these cockroaches, the two giant beasts looked down coldly at their prey with an emotionless gaze. This big guy looks a lot like a mammoth, but there are some differences in the fangs. Unlike the mammoth's large, ivory-like tusks, the thunderbeast's tusks are movable. Therefore, the main attack of the Thunderbeast is to slice the opponent like scissors with two huge fangs, rather than hitting the opponent with its fangs like a mammoth. However, it stands to reason that Thunderbeast cannot move after burrowing into the ground. Obviously, the thunder beast here is not a thunder beast in normal combat, but a thunder beast that has evolved the ability to dig into the ground in the Heart of the Swarm mission.
As soon as they burrowed out of the ground, the bugs attacked. The two thunder beasts strode towards Yanya, Matsudaira Motoyasu, and Kikyo, who were slashing and killing insects, apparently trying to prevent them from coming back. The cockroaches, on the other hand, looked at Zhu Li, Shion, and the Ba Wu Maiden who had just arrived to protect the two.
The situation seemed to turn one-sided.
However, as the saying goes, no book is written without coincidence, and under the power of Loki's inhuman feet, it is only a matter of minutes to climb over one or two mountains. So, at this critical juncture, Loki appeared at the top of the mountain very in time.
Seeing the situation in front of him, Loki's face, which was still smiling easily, suddenly became more ...... than the bottom of the pot Oh no, it's getting darker than Bag-sama. Without saying a word, he reached out and took out the code of judgment from his bosom. In the flickering firelight, the flying pages turned into a great sword in Loki's hand, falling along with Loki as he leaped into the air.
"Collapse Mountain...... Ground Rift Slash !!"
With Loki's roar, the greatsword transformed by the Judgment Code smashed into a cockroach with a cloud of blood-red sword qi, instantly crushing it into a meat patty. All the cockroaches around were staggering under the powerful shock, and they were unsteady on their feet. Then, blood-colored flames erupted from the ground and sent them into the air. Although in the introduction of StarCraft, cockroaches are very resistant to fire, but in the face of the flames produced by the mixture of magic and fighting energy, they didn't even last three seconds before they turned into ashes.
After a big collapse eliminated most of the cockroaches, Loki walked towards the thunder beast without looking back, and at the same time, his left hand, which was not holding a sword, was raised, and a burst of cold air suddenly emerged, freezing the remaining cockroaches into ice sculptures. It's a very simple frost nova, a skill that you can put at your fingertips.
Seeing Loki walking towards him, the Thunderbeast instinctively sensed danger. After a warning roar, the two thunderbeasts looked at each other and charged at Loki together.
Loki smiled, and he smiled at the two behemoths, which were more than twice the size of the tank.
I always feel ...... This scene is familiar......
Where have you seen it......
In the previous plane, there seemed to be a few tanks rushing towards him like this...... Unfortunately, they're all dead.
At the moment when the two sides were about to make contact, Loki's body moved, turned into a green light, and after circling the thunder beast, he appeared behind the two thunder beasts, still carrying a big sword on his shoulder, with a relaxed expression...... If you don't look at the murderous aura in his eyes that is almost condensed......
Loki continued to walk towards the three of them, but the two thunderbeasts were no longer moving.
If no one touches them, I'm afraid the two thunderbeasts will have to stay in this position until their bodies decay.
But if anyone touches them...... They will fall apart in no time, turning into pieces of minced meat on the ground.
Alpha raid, just so domineering. Loki's broadsword didn't affect his dexterity in the slightest.
The bugs sensed Loki's intention to support the three girls, and more than a dozen jumping insects jumped out one after another, blocking Loki's front.
Loki stood still, looked at the jumping worm in front of him, and smiled coldly.
The greatsword was lowered from his shoulder and tucked away on the left side of his body. Loki squats on both legs, accumulating strength like a squatting horse.
Then it's simple. Just swing your broadsword.
A half-moon-shaped light slash came out of the air, flattening the insects within more than ten meters in front of him at once, but it did not hurt the three of Yan Ye at all.
It's worthy of Xiang Yu's big move...... Overlord slash, it's so fierce!
Under the red sun, which had fully risen, Loki smiled handsomely at the three of them, "Let's go, let's go home...... Go back to the home where you will live in the future. ”
