Chapter 118: The Hunter and the Prey

Vani didn't understand where this black brood came from, let alone why the Zerg would attack her in turn under her absolute control.

But now is not the time to get to the bottom of the matter, the other party's offensive has approached the eggs in the hatching room, if the other party destroys the hatching room, then the inside of his own brood will be completely occupied by the other party. Although these low-level insects can't do anything to themselves with their high-level nightmares, such a passive situation is arrogant and arrogant and it can't tolerate it.

At Vani's order, the Zerg combat units distributed in the various strongholds and passages inside her brood began to assemble in the direction of the hatching room, and the eggs in the hatching room also significantly accelerated the hatching speed. After all, this is their home field, whether in the deployment of troops or in the geographical advantage, it is their own advantage, if this fails, then they really have no face.

Soon, with Vani's reckless investment, the balance of battle was quickly reversed, and the Black Zerg faced an exponential enemy, the casualty rate rose rapidly, and the battle line was slowly forced back, gradually retreating near the giant conical passage used for forced landing.

However, the resilience of the Black Zerg is also quite strong, and after being forced to this step, they will not retreat, and new members continue to emerge in the passage, and they would rather pay double the price than firmly stabilize the battle line on the spot.

In order not to cause damage to the inside of the brood's hull, both sides only invested in the melee type of raptor, and the closer they got to the landing point of the Black Zerg, the narrower the passage around them, even if Vani's army had already occupied a numerical advantage at this moment, but it could not be used in such an environment, and the two sides actually entered a meat grinder-like war of attrition.

Wars of attrition have always been the Demons' forte, but this time Vani wasn't optimistic. Until now, it has not understood who is attacking itself, and humans should not have the ability to manipulate Zerg creatures, let alone support such a large-scale war of attrition.

You must know that although the brood can hatch the Zerg combat unit on its own, such an incubation requires continuous consumption of the manipulator's body. Of course, as a demon, he is not afraid of consumption, but what about humans? Can they have such a strong reserve of Nightmare Energy in their bodies?

Vani didn't want to wait any longer, the mysterious disappearance of her three companions, and the inexplicable attack, made her feel even more uneasy. Fear of the unknown is an instinct of every intelligent being, and Nightmare is no exception.

It decided to take matters into its own hands and quickly end the battle on the other side of the hatchery, and then go into the other party's brood to see who the mastermind behind the scenes was.

It stood up, its body twisting in the air, and the next moment it should have crossed the void, appeared where it was going, and then crushed the lowly intruders with a thunderbolt, and then drove straight into the enemy's control center......

However, nothing happened.

Varni used the unique teleportation skill of the Nightmare Demon, but her body stayed in place, and it was surprised to find that she had actually lost the sense between herself and the rules of the Nightmare Realm, and the entire control center hall seemed to be imprisoned by some force, and any spatial skills were useless.

"Damn! This spatial confinement ability ...... It's the struggling! Vani gritted her teeth and said, damn humans, it is really an unforgivable sin to dare to ambush themselves as high-level nightmares, and their souls must be crushed carefully to let them know their duty as food.

It suppressed its anger and casually straightened its robes, trying to maintain the elegance of the royal family no matter what the circumstances. It took a deep breath and whispered, "Come out." ”

A wall of flesh on the side of the hall suddenly protruded, and an overwhelming cracking sound sounded, and a figure covered in darkness tore through the wall of flesh and strode out of it. The brood's healing power was superb, and the cracked flesh wall quickly closed behind him, and soon returned to a flat state.

This is a tall man, even if he is above average compared to the Demon Clan. He was wrapped in a black suit of armor. The shape of this armor is still similar to that of medieval European knights, but the structural material does not resemble normal metal.

The pitch-black surface is very rough, and a closer look reveals many granular bumps that resemble the top layer of reptilian keratin skin. The figure walked around, and there was not a trace of friction and collision between the armor parts, as if this seemingly mighty full-body armor was actually made of soft leather.

However, this leather-like armor gives it a heavy and heavy feeling for no reason, and although it is not touched, it makes people reluctant to doubt its sturdiness.

The black armor man strode towards Vani, Vani's pupils shrank slightly, because it saw that every time the black armor man took a step, the position on which he stood would sink slightly, and the surrounding ground would actually form an abnormal withering state, although the strong regeneration ability of the brood made the withered ground quickly return to normal, but such an abnormal phenomenon still caused Vani's alarm.

"That's not right...... You're not human! Vani shrugged her nose, unable to smell the sweet scent that belonged to the soul from the other party, but instead had an unusually disgusting aura that deeply stimulated its nerves, "What are you?" ”

"What am I?" The black armor man stopped about a hundred meters away from it, and Shen Hao's voice came faintly from under the pitch-black armor, "I am your nightmare!" If you monsters can dream too......"

"Don't be ashamed!" Vani snorted coldly, but she quickly took two steps back. The mysterious disappearance of the three companions, coupled with the inexplicable sneak attack by the Zerg this time, has exceeded his expectations. Cautious by nature, Vani felt an ominous omen in her heart.

Shen Hao smiled and didn't say anything more, just continued to walk towards Vani.

"Stop!" Vani was furious, reached out and touched her waist, only to twitch, a slender saber like a blue crystal was held in her hand, the slightly curved blade exuded a compelling cold, the tip of the knife was raised flat, and it was pointing at Shen Hao, who was slowly approaching.

Facing the Nightmare Demon who was waiting for him, Shen Hao just sneered, but the pace under his feet was getting faster and faster, and his right hand had reached behind him to hold the hilt of the huge black sword.

"Bastard! Give me death! Vani couldn't continue to calm down under the pressure of Shen Hao's approaching, and the blue saber in her hand pointed sharply at the sky.

"Suddenly-" A blue halo quickly spread around it, and where the halo passed, the ground, walls, and ceilings were all dyed light blue, and Shen Hao, who was rushing forward, suddenly fell into this blue space.

Immediately after, dense light and shadow appeared out of thin air, and hundreds of pale blue human figures quickly formed around them, and in the next second, these people became clear, and they all turned into the appearance of Vanie. I saw hundreds of vannies and hundreds of identical blue sabers, surrounding Shen Hao in the middle.

"It's kind of interesting...... Shen Hao stopped, this demon is different from the previous opponent, it doesn't seem to be the type of frontal attack, and he is surrounded by countless clones at the moment, I don't know if most of them are illusions, or if all the opponents are clones with entities.

Shen Hao can't tell the difference, but he is not in a hurry, he will not respond to all changes, and breaking through the trick with strength is what he is best at. He was half-bowed, grasping the hilt of his sword with one hand, and watched around vigilantly like a cheetah ready to attack.

Soon, Vani's side launched an attack first. I saw that the ten closest provinces stepped forward at the same time, and the ten sabers stabbed straight at Shen Hao in three ways. Shen Hao sneered, his body turned sharply, and the long sword behind him slammed out of its sheath, sweeping away the surrounding with the momentum of the autumn wind sweeping the leaves.

Shen Hao's long sword was more than a man tall, and the sword body was as thick and rough as ever, but compared to the heavy sword he had used before, it was more indestructible and sharp. He waved his hand, but in Vanie's eyes, it was like a pitch-black mountain pressing towards it, and its majesty actually made it have a sense of oppression that was difficult to breathe.

The ten clones who struck first were slashed to pieces without any suspense, and the whirlwind driven by the giant sword even swept in several clones farther away, without any resistance, as if a hot knife had cut through cream, and a large number of surrounding enemies disappeared in an instant.

"It's all entities......" Shen Hao smashed his mouth, his slightly reddened eyes slamming around through the gaps in his visor. The touch from the giant sword just now told him that Vanie's doppelganger technique was indeed not a bluffing illusion, but probably used the nightmare energy to condense into a warrior with the same appearance as himself, which could not only besiege the enemy, but also confuse the enemy and distract the enemy. Offensive and defensive, I have to admit that it is indeed a clever move.

"It's a pity, the last thing I'm afraid of is group battles!" Shen Hao dragged the black giant sword, and set off a storm of blades on the ground, and the whistling blades rotated wildly around Shen Hao, just like the gears that were spinning rapidly on the machine, but there were thousands, quickly cutting through all the enemies around him.

Vanie's clones rushed forward one after another, trying to block Shen Hao's attack with a wound-for-injury approach, but after just a few seconds, they fled in all directions at a faster speed. The black whirlwind of blades was like a flesh mixer, no matter how many lives entered, it would only turn into minced flesh in the end, leaving a complete corpse behind everywhere it went.

Vanie's so-called numerical superiority was almost a joke in front of such a whirlwind of death, and the so-called exchanging injuries for injuries did not cause any damage to Shen Hao in the center of the whirlwind, except for increasing casualties.
