134 Killing
Ling Qi turned on the visual effects of bullet time, and the energy bullets of the automatic rifle were almost connected in a line, quickly clearing the insects in the line of sight. He felt as if he had returned to the scene of the virtual shooting competition, and his movements were skilful and natural.
Iron beetles, like armored vehicles, slashed their thick legs like folding spears, and pressed at them, waiting for an opportunity to attack. Ao Ying's heavy machine gun bullets hit them, exploding shallow craters like fireworks.
"What level of bug is this? The defense was so strong, I remember that in the game the heavy machine gun could kill the iron beetle. Ling Qi asked in surprise.
"This is a bug that slowly evolves in the starry sky environment and relies on cosmic energy, much more powerful than the bug that evolves quickly after getting enough food on the planet, and there is energy blessing on the carapace!" Ao Ying knew more than Ling Qi.
Ling Qi looked intently, and sure enough, he found simple lines on the carapace of the iron beetle, which were connected into an energy matrix. When the energy bullet hits it, it is first cushioned by a layer of energy body, and the penetration and explosive power are greatly reduced.
It's hard to kill.
The number of iron beetles Ling Qi saw was in the hundreds, and some of the blood bars were outflanking from other directions. If they can't find an effective means, they will have to retreat, unless Ao Ying, a small master, still has no hole cards.
At this moment, the female worm suddenly reached out and dragged back the corpse of the beetle floating in the passage.
It's devouring insect corpses to recover energy.
"Let's take a step back and wait for the insect to leave the range of the mother's tentacles before killing, we can't let it gain energy." Ling Qi thought of the Zerg's terrifying violent ability, and beckoned the two girls to retreat again.
As they retreated, an iron beetle seemed to have found an opportunity and suddenly sped up to slaughter. It kicks down the passage with its long barbed legs, gaining extreme speed, like a maglev locomotive shooting at it.
Ling Qi clearly caught the movement of the iron beetle, and as soon as it was in the air, it poked out its sharp front legs, like a spear master, and poked at Ao Ying.
Swish!
Ling Qi waved his hand, and a ten-meter-long lightning bolt slashed out from his palm. The dazzling electric light hit the iron beetle head-on. The Iron Beetle froze, and was shot through a row of huge holes by the large-caliber energy bullets of the machine gun.
Ao Ying exclaimed in surprise: "Good way, use lightning to disrupt the energy circuit on its body surface, causing a temporary energy disorder, and the carapace defense will be temporarily reduced." ”
Having found a way to deal with it, Ling Qi's heart relaxed, wanting to see what Ao Ying's planetary-level strength was, so he joked to her: "Don't you have planetary-level strength, why do you still use a heavy machine gun?" Go up and fight hand-to-hand! ”
"Haha, you treat me as stupid, why should I fight hand-to-hand if there is a way to save effort...... Be careful, you have iron beetles on your side. Xiao Rou, you are responsible for the small bugs on the front, and I specialize in iron beetles. ”
"No problem, hee-hee." Xiao Rou holds an energy pistol in each hand and shoots quickly at the little beetle.
As soon as Ao Ying turned around, the muzzle of the gun was facing Ling Qi's side, and many iron beetles were outflanked from the second and third ring passages. They are so large that they can only go one after the other, completely losing the advantage of a swarm.
Ling Qi knew the movement of the insects, and threw out lightning at will, and the first iron beetle was killed by a machine gun in the blink of an eye, and its corpse blocked the path of the insects behind it, and was violently dragged away.
"There's still no way to stop the mother worm from gaining energy!"
The three of them watched as the bugs worked together to drag the corpses into the middle for the mother to recover. As soon as one side shoots and kills, that side will automatically clean up, and this cooperative attitude makes them helpless.
More than 300 iron beetles were killed one after another, and the small beetles were almost wiped out.
And at this time, the electrical energy in Ling Qi's body was also consumed, and the meteor became dim. To his relief, he gained a lot of experience from killing iron beetles, and his leveling progress increased by thirty percentage points to 76%.
"Ao Ying, if my lightning energy is exhausted, is there a way for you to kill the iron beetle alone?" After Ling Qi finished speaking, he looked at the central area and found that the last batch of more than sixty iron beetles had just rushed halfway and retreated, guarding next to the mother worm.
"I haven't tried it, I feel like I should be able to, I'm planetary." Ao Ying checked the energy magazine, and there was only a very little energy left, so she casually threw it aside, took out an energy sword and prepared for hand-to-hand combat.
"The bugs have returned, let me recover first, and go straight to the central area!" Ling Qi began to cultivate on the spot, and the small amount of energy in his body was running, forming a matrix and quickly absorbing the free energy around him.
An hour later, he was fifty percent recovered, and the meteoroid was no longer dim.
"Let's go, finish the work early." Ling Qi stopped his cultivation and beckoned the two of them to push back inside.
After walking through the passage, the three of them arrived at the platform next to the central hall and saw the complete image of the mother worm.
The female insect was not at all the maggot-type that Ling Qi had imagined, but a giant tentacle monster, the main body was thirty or forty meters large, and there were tentacles of different lengths at every angle on the body, nearly a hundred meters long, coiled around the hall. The short tentacles are only a few meters long, and some are tens of meters, and at this time they are grabbing insect corpses and stuffing them into the giant mouth.
Its body swelled and shrank, emitting strong energy fluctuations. Around it, the remaining dozens of iron beetles swarmed around to form the last line of defense.
Ao Ying's face changed: "It's evolving with the help of recovered energy. I understood that there was a lack of food intake, so it would first breed a small number of beetles to collect free cosmic energy, and then devour the beetles to promote its own evolution, and then multiply more beetles, forming a slow growth cycle. ”
"So awesome?" Ling Qi's heart was shocked, it could develop a race just by ingesting cosmic energy, wouldn't it be even more rebellious than human cultivation!
"Zerg are the most efficient at using energy, and that's what makes them scary."
Swish!
A tentacle about one meter thick in diameter and more than thirty meters long was like a giant whip, and it was drawn towards Ling Qi and the three of them like lightning. The faces of the three of them changed drastically, and they kicked on the platform, scattering and shooting in three directions.
Behind them, a huge tentacle slammed into the platform, directly collapsing a large part of the platform.
Ling Qi was shocked to see it, the structures around this hall had been corroded and fragile, using this method of corroding first and then dismantling, the mother worm did not have to worry about being unable to get out of the shackles of the spaceship after growing in size.
Before the three of them had time to activate the thrusters and retreat, the other tentacles waved at the same time, pumping towards them respectively, and the three of them were suddenly in crisis.
The mother worm used some tentacles to fix itself on the spaceship to borrow strength, and the speed of the whip was too fast, and the tentacles brought out an afterimage, chasing after the three figures.
Hmm, Ling Qi used the bullet time effect to shoot a bolt of lightning and hit the tentacle with his hand. Taking advantage of the slight delay in the electric shock of the tentacle, he kicked the tentacle and changed direction to shoot at the head of the mother worm.
On the other side, Ao Ying and Xiao Rou are like powerful balls, borrowing force on the walls everywhere, bouncing back and forth, dodging the blows of the tentacles. In this kind of gravityless environment, if there is no borrowing point, the action will be very inflexible, and a bad one will float to the mouth of the mother worm by itself with inertia.
"It's not easy, it's not flexible at all."
Ling Qi took the time to look at Ao Ying and Xiao Rou, and found that he was the slowest of the three. After Xiao Rou transformed, he was the most flexible with his talent, Ao Ying could get a speed not lower than that of his tentacles every time he borrowed his strength with his planetary strength, only he had neither speed talent, nor his strength was not up or down, and he was almost drawn.
"Brother be careful!" Xiao Rou found that Ling Qi shot at the mother worm, and exclaimed in a hurry.
Between the lightning bolts, Ling Qi quickly approached the mother worm, and two more tentacles with afterimages drew diagonally in front of him. Ling Qi could barely see the trajectory of the tentacles with the help of the skill effect, but he wanted to dodge at this time but had nowhere to borrow.
Seeing that Ling Qi was about to be hit by the tentacles, two thunderballs appeared in his hands at the same time, and he slapped his backhand. Two balls of thunder exploded behind him, and in an instant, a powerful thrust acted on him. In the nick of time, he suddenly increased his speed, passed through the tentacle's strike path, and slammed into the head of the mother.
