Chapter 962: The First Battle, Xenomorphs and Iron Blood
In the endless wasteland and scorching sun, there seemed to be nothing but the crackling sound of the wind and the sand hitting the surface of the steel, and the roar of a constant drill into the ground, and a figure as gray as before, pushed a cart like a miner, transporting ore crates and long canisters that emitted a pungent smell like oil drums.
Completely different from the standard Predators, these Predators appeared to be noticeably short and thin, and seemed to have simply wrapped themselves in cloth except for a few pieces of armor such as masks, belts, and knee pads.
In this race of bravery and strength, the Spartan-like battle imprint is engraved in their marrow, those who are relatively born thin and deformed, work like slaves, and the strong people who are qualified to become hunters hone their fighting skills day and night, and show their strength in hunting, so as to obtain the opportunity to advance to the nobility, and only the most heroic and powerful beings among them are qualified to be promoted to the ruling class of the entire race.
For them, strong bodies, keen perception, and fighting skills are fundamental, the only way to guarantee power and wealth, there has never been any inheritance of social status, and the whole race has always operated according to this strict order, but now this peace seems to be broken.
"Beep............ Beep............ Beep ......"
Amid the shrill siren, an iron-blooded miner was entwined in his legs by a digging worm, and although the pain in his body caused him to fall to the ground, he still held on to the rock with his hand.
The ore rolling to the ground, the tools, the sick and festering companions that are already crawling all over the body, and the hideous insects that are dragging them into the ground, if all this is placed in the mine of any intelligent race, the first thing it will inevitably cause is panic, even if they are wearing heavy equipment like mechas, the first reaction will still be to retreat, find cover and hide, but these iron-blooded miners are different, it is a stunned but exuding longing gaze.
Desire, yes, that is a kind of light like a hungry wolf seeing a flock of sheep, one of the miners knocked off the gear at the end of the long pole in his hand, revealed the sharp metal rod and grabbed it, raised his hands high above his head and jumped up, and then jumped and fell with the force that directly caused the metal rod to sink nearly two meters into the ground.
As miners, generally speaking, they are unlikely to have the opportunity to face the battle, which also means that the promotion rank is far away and closed, but this accident is a good opportunity, as long as he can kill the attacking evil insects, then he is at least qualified to contact and learn combat skills, and has the possibility of becoming a warrior.
As we all know, the simpler the body structure, the stronger the vitality of the race, and compared to humans, beasts, and birds, the vitality of insect creatures is often outrageous, and the xenomorphs cultivated as Samast are even more so.
Suddenly suffering a heavy blow, the enraged digging worm threw down the parasitic body, and the tentacles with sharp barbs pierced the soles of the iron-blooded miner's body, and the highly toxic spores carried by the digging worm spread sharply along the blood in his body, and instead of showing any signs of trying to struggle, he rotated around the tentacles with his feet, and used himself as a coordinate to kill the digging worm in the ground, only to pull out the metal rod and stab it again............
After all, the digging insect is only similar to the dough worm in terms of positioning, in order to implant the egg into the target body of a one-time creature, where can it withstand this crazy puncture like a piledriver, it was quickly excavated and sent into the base like a specimen.
At first, this scene did not attract the attention of the predators stationed at all, after all, the burrower can only be said to be an extremely weak creature by their standards, and the injury on the foot of the iron-blooded miner seemed to be quickly stabilized, but soon it was wrong, a large number of missing miners broke out, and those supernatural diseases from the scars of the virus also slowly broke out from the wounded and sick, from convulsions, complications such as low-grade fever and nausea and vomiting to coughing up blood and even extensive ulceration on the surface of the skin, Soon the infected area was completely out of control, and the area adjacent to the medical center was infected for a while.
Theoretically, no matter how contagious the virus itself is, it needs air, blood or liquid and other media to bear it, as long as the medical technology system with iron and blood is not uncontrollable, but the isolation layer has not had time to put down the base monitoring screen before a familiar figure appeared.
It was a black shadow nearly three meters high, in addition to the alien's iconic exoskeleton-like carapace, the expanded mouthparts and long hair like a predator proved his identity, the iron-blooded alien, but the carapace that should have been jet black and shiny had a little more color of orchid.
"It's ...... It's actually a psychic energy fluctuation, not only a Faqu xenomorph, but also a Faqu xenomorph that combines psionic talents......
Among the biological motherships that observed all this through the prying eyes, Feng Haitao, the spiritual life form that was most sensitive to psionic energy fluctuations, gasped.
"This is not strictly my handiwork, in fact, at the beginning, in their respective experimental subjects, only races with extremely developed psionic abilities such as draenei or Gisyankees as hosts will appear xenomorphs that show psionic talents, even if the chances of xenomorphs with gray dwarves as hosts appearing psionic talents are very small, but the chances of xenomorphs using predators as hosts to stimulate psionic energy are still higher than those of gray dwarves, but iron-blooded aliens show almost only ...... in psionic self-molding"
Samast's words undoubtedly prove the fact that the Predator has a self-shaping psionic talent, but this also explains why this race is so obsessed with personal bravery and will, perhaps only in the struggle and killing of life and death, it is possible to complete the spiritual awakening, and the strength of the battle will is directly linked to the strength of the psionic energy, however, this kind of magic xenomorph that only stimulates the basic self-shaping psionic talent is only the most basic variety in his series of research and transformation.
As a small and medium-sized gathering ground on the Predator Star, there are no more than four Predators here who have actually experienced hunting, and the President is just an elite hunter, and ordinary patrols are basically based on preparing Predator recruits.
On the one hand, there are iron-blooded aliens who have been enhanced by Samast through psionic energy and arcane genes, and on the other hand, they are just reserve warriors who have not hunted through the rite of passage, and the gap between them can no longer be bridged by numerical or weapon superiority.
At the edge of the infected area, before the isolation door completely falls, the sizzling sound caused by the sudden strong acid erosion has been endless, in a general sense, no matter what alien, if you want to rely on strong acid to completely corrode and penetrate the iron-blooded alloy gate, it is not an easy thing, but when the iron-blooded alien is still a continuous distance from the gate, a tongue tube entwined by dark ** suddenly drilled out of the mouthparts that were cracked around.
Different from the usual slenderness, the tongue tube under the eye seems to be stretched out by the liquid and expanded to a limit, some like the difference between the ordinary female and the ** when she is in the pot, when it is squeezed and pushed to the tip of the tongue tube a little bit, a ball of plasma shining with dazzling green light directly punches a big hole in the alloy door, and an iron-blooded reserve warrior is unprepared, and is directly pierced through the throat by the tongue tube that then rapidly shoots into it.
As if radicalized by the blood, the Predator rushed in through the gap in the alloy gate like a black shadow, and the remaining two Predators also hissed and clenched their spears, stabbing at the alien's head and abdomen from two different directions, respectively.
Compared with the real Predators, the reserve Predator will be a little more immature in terms of mentality and combat skills, but what they are holding in their hands at this time is not the metal double-ended telescopic spear they hold when hunting, but the standard war equipment, as long as the slightest stab is rubbed, the ion shockwave will completely tear the target apart.
If it is an ordinary alien, it can be said that it will definitely die under this thorn, but at this moment, this iron-blooded alien suddenly let out a poignant and piercing scream from his mouth, ordinary poisonous gas or spore virus may be helpless in front of the Predator's protective mask, but the sound wave is obviously not in this protection, as if the sharp pain of the mess that wants to twist the brain pulp cannot make the iron-blooded people pause their movements, and it is this pause that reverses the original hunting life and death.
The long and narrow tail like a steel whip whipped the two Predators in the chest, and although they still held the spear in their hands under the sharp pain in their brains and the suffocating blow in their chests, at this moment this powerful weapon has become a support point like a crutch, how can they still make any decent threats, and they have lost control of their bodies when they already have a considerable disadvantage in strength, speed and physique, which is undoubtedly quite deadly, before they can stand up again, The sickle-like forelimbs had pierced their chests............
