Chapter 597: Scout

"That is, you are reciting the last sight that the tank beast should have 'seen' in a day, just like the last time you recited the boat of the throne?" Wu Qi comprehended the authenticity.

"Almost. However, even if I can recite the target scene out of nothing and record it in the form of a sand painting, the result may not be consistent with the truth. The tank beast's field of vision is inherently limited, and there must be a lot of unseen sight beyond the edge of that sand painting. ”

"That's true."

"There's no way around it. I've been studying the occult for over a year, and the more I research and practice, the more I've realized that the occult ability is really as mysterious as its name suggests. It's not fully controllable, and the user of the ability acts as a captain at the helm, setting the course without changing the direction of the wind and waves. So the end result can only be at best to provide a clue when there is no way out, and we can use it as a reference. Pi Chunsheng said.

"Pi Chunsheng, there is no need to be presumptuous, you use 'Nian Bu' very well, thanks to you we can know that the Desert Dragon King has gathered and completed its desert legion last night," Wu Qi said seriously.

"Thank you for saying that."

Wu Qi and Pi Chunsheng ended the topic, and before half a minute later, Gao Yuan, who was in charge of the lookout, shouted: "Captain Yue, two kilometers away from the direction of 10 o'clock, there is a small group of insect plague species. ”

Gao Yuan's words alarmed everyone in the carriage, and Yue Zhanfei immediately asked: "Gao Yuan, you continue to observe, determine the number of targets, and then make a report." ”

"Yes."

Yue Zhanfei drove the survey vehicle to continue in the original direction, and there was a sand dune about 6 meters high not far in front of him.

This location was an excellent lookout point, and Yue Zhanfei's meaning of stopping here was understood by Gao Yuan as he drove up.

Gao Yuan opened the sunroof and climbed onto the roof of the car, holding a sniper in one hand. Hit. The gun's high-powered scope moved to the top of the back slope of the dune. He lay down on the slightly hot sand and set up a lookout position, and the center of the doji of the high-powered scope put a small group of insect plague species in the northwest into it, firmly locking on.

With the scope in the background of the blue sky, the average individual of the squad is an adult-sized insect plague species flapping its wings. This insect plague species bears a five-point resemblance to locusts in appearance and is genetically a mutated species of locusts.

At this juncture, he bumped into a flying insect plague species from the northwest direction of the depths of the Sand Sea, and as soon as Gao Yuan thought of Wu Qi's words, a word immediately came to his mind - "scout".

“5、10、15......”

Gao Yuan switched the channel of the spiritual link in his mind, and directly communicated with his mind: "Report, that small group of insect plague species has a total of 20, which looks like locusts and is the size of an adult. The leader is a red insect wing, an iron-blue exoskeleton, and the other small insect wings are transparent, and the exoskeleton is a normal sandy yellow. ”

"Takato, share your vision with me." Wu Qi's voice rang out in the depths of Gao Yuan's mind.

"Okay." Gao Yuan's left finger pressed his temple, his left eye was closed, and the right eye in front of the scope suddenly changed from dark brown to bright and shining sky blue.

Inside the investigation car, Wu Qi and Gao Yuan made the same action, a bright blue circle lit up around the pupil of his right eye, and the scenery within the field of vision turned into the scene Gao Yuan saw after a while. He could also see the scope doji in front of him.

The "locusts" dictated by Gao Yuan suddenly caught Wu Qi's eyes, and he used the revelation of the wilderness gods to see through the racial information of this group of "locusts" at a glance.

"This is a desert variant of the locust, and not only that, but it's also the highest level of the 'Sandstorm Flying Locust'! The Sandstorm Locust's body has evolved into an extremely drought-tolerant structure, with eight insect wings that can fly freely through the sand and dust in a dangerous environment full of wind and sand. The Transparent Worm Wing is the weakest sandstorm locust, but the level of wind and sand we encountered when we were attacked by the king sand scorpion before is equivalent to non-existent in the face of this weakest sandstorm locust. The leader of the Red Worm Wing is one level higher, and can freely travel through the sandstorm level wind and sand, harvesting other lives that have strayed into the sandstorm's range. ”

Wu Qi gave the information transmitted from the end of the "road" to everyone in his own words. When Yue Zhanfei and the others heard this, they were first surprised that Wu Qi was actually familiar with the types of plague species in the sand sea, and then they were shocked by what he said.

When a typhoon hits, the falcon still has to retreat, not to mention the massive sand particles in the sandstorm, which is not at all comparable to the rain; In this harsh environment, the Sandstorm Locust can still move freely, and aside from the role played by the unique body structure that allows it to do this, the strength and toughness of the Sandstorm Locust itself and the insect wings cannot be underestimated.

After Wu Qi finished speaking, seeing that everyone didn't speak, he added: "Looking at the insect plague species in the whole desert, the sandstorm flying locust is also a super species with small targets, continuous high mobility ability, and combat ability. As scouts for the army, they couldn't be more suitable. ”

"In that case, we'll capture them all!" Yue Zhanfei stretched out his hand and made a grasping gesture.

Wu Qi also thought so in his heart, if they could capture this team of sandstorm flying locusts, even if they accidentally killed a few, they could confirm a lot of things.

"Ladies and gentlemen, that group of sandstorm locusts is less than 800 meters away from us, and it is flying at a speed of about 40 meters per second. According to their marching route, the shortest distance when passing by us is about 300 meters, and it is now necessary to act to capture us. Gao Yuan reminded.

"It's a bit difficult to sneak up on a flying scout across a distance of 300 meters without startling the snake." Xiao Kui was slightly worried. He had already seen the terrain around here, except for the position they stepped on, the back slope of this sand dune, there was no cover in a radius of two or three hundred meters.

Moreover, the sandstorm locusts are still flying in the sky, and their field of vision is very wide.

It only took Wu Qi a second to come up with a plan, and he said decisively: "The flying altitude of the Sandstorm Flying Locust is about 10 meters, and there is a high probability that it will instantly disperse and flee back to the location of the rear legion in the event of a sudden attack. So we have to have a blitzkrieg that will catch them all. Pi Chunsheng, Cressy, I'm on the three. ”

Wu Qi quickly opened the car door, Krees jumped off without saying anything, Pi Chunsheng pointed at himself in confusion, and then remembered that Wu Qi wanted to borrow his "petrification" ability to travel at high speed under the sand seabed.

Wu Qi, Krees, and Pi Chunsheng all got out of the car and began to move in the direction of intercepting the sandstorm flying locusts. Yue Zhanfei looked at the backs of the three of them through the side window, silently casting a trusting look.

Although Wu Qi does sometimes make some arbitrary decisions, it is undeniable that he can always make achievements in the end. His decisive judgment and ability to integrate conditions were particularly excellent at the combat level, and Yue Zhanfei had to admire him.

He already knew how the combination of the three men was going to sneak up and intercept the sandstorm locusts.

On the other side, Wu Qi, Pi Chunsheng, and Krees had already run to the bottom of the sand dune, and they were about to break away from the only bunker of the sand dune.

The battle plan Wu Qi had already passed on to the two of them through the spirit link in the two seconds that he had just ran. In the next second, Pi Chunsheng rushed to Wu Qi's side with an arrow step, and put his left hand on Wu Qi's shoulder; Wu Qi's right hand was raised in the same step, tightly clasping Pi Chunsheng's shoulder.

The two of them rushed to the ground with each other's shoulders, Wu Qi's left hand hit the sand first, and the silver light of gravitational energy surged, and suddenly opened a sloping sand road entrance on the sand.

Wu Qi and Pi Chunsheng took the lead in jumping into the underground sand road, and as soon as they entered the underground sand road, Pi Chunsheng cast the "petrification" ability, turning the surrounding two-meter sand road wall into a solid earth and stone wall. Krees slid in one step back, flicking his legs to keep up with the pace of the two of them.

Wu Qi carried Pi Chunsheng and ran wildly at high speed, his left hand kept waving in front of his body, releasing gravitational energy to the end of the sand road in front of him, opening up the sand flow and extending the sand road. His left eye also shared a high field of vision, and he always grasped the trajectory of his own side and the movement of a group of sandstorm locusts.

Compared with the speed, Wu Qi knew that the three of them would definitely not be able to catch up with the flight trajectory of the Sandstorm Flying Locusts at the so-called shortest distance, so they shot straight towards the farther target point from the beginning.

25 seconds, this is the time that has passed since Wu Qi and the others entered the underground sand road. Comparing the high and distant vision, Wu Qi was very sure that they were now in the place where the sandstorm locusts would inevitably fly after 3 seconds.

After 3 seconds, they coincided with the Sandstorm Locusts in vertical coordinates!

"Stop, I'll call the signal, Krees, you transform directly!" Wu Qi braked sharply and gave a quick order.

Kreese looked a little nervous: "If you run farther away, this range of extremely cold realm will affect you!" ”

Wu Qi waved his hand like thunder: "This is not something you should worry about, two, one, zero!" ”

The military order has arrived, and Krees doesn't care about anything else. He already had an ice pick in his hand, and at this moment, he slashed at the palm of his left hand! The scattered blood beads splattered from the wound jumped into the air, and under Krees's eyelids, under the eyelids of Wu Qi and Pi Chunsheng, a snow-white light burst out in an instant!

At the same moment, Wu Qi struck the sand wall behind him with one-handed lightning, and the sand wall suddenly sank into a big pit; Silver energy crystals rose between the sand under his and Pi Chunsheng's feet, and instantly condensed into a sand track that was faster than an electric track, taking Wu Qi and Pi Chunsheng into the big pit behind the sand road wall at high speed.

The figures of the two disappeared as soon as they slipped through the smoke, and the energy aurora and the extremely cold aura that rapidly expanded with Krees's transformation only touched the area where the two of them were before in only 0.1 seconds.

A frost-white waterfall with a diameter of 50 meters slammed through the originally calm sandy surface, and a team of alert sandstorm locusts didn't even have time to react, and 20 insect bodies were swallowed up by the surging frost-white waterfall!
