Chapter 23: Hunting the Zerg
The entire team soon began to retreat in an orderly manner, with the five Evolvers in the front, and few Zerg were able to break through the defense line formed by the five of them to threaten the ordinary soldiers who were retreating behind.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
There was a loud bang, and the ground at the back of the line suddenly collapsed without warning, revealing a pitch-black hole. A small head, supported by its slender body, crawled out of the pit in an extremely twisted way, cutting off the way for the team to retreat!
This roadblock that popped up out of nowhere is a burrowing centipede! And the first Zerg killed by Lin Han also happened to be a member of this race. The only difference is that the size of this ground-burrowing centipede is larger than the one Lin Han killed in seconds before, and the sense of oppression is even stronger, it is a genuine second-order zerg, and its actual combat power may be comparable to the second-order ability zombie that he encountered before!
Such an enemy is simply a catastrophe for this retreating team at this time!
Before everyone could react, a "buzzing" sound suddenly sounded in the sky above everyone. Someone looked up and saw a Zerg soldier with a body length of more than one meter had already flown above their heads at some point!
In appearance, it is supposed to belong to the hornet-like Zerg, with a ring of pale yellow fluff on top of the black and yellow body, like a scarf around the neck in the cold winter. The head at the very front of the body is the size of a basketball, and the finger-thick tentacles on the head swing from time to time to receive some information from the outside world. The sharp rodents in the mouth are like meat grinders, as if they can easily stir the human body into mud. The light green tail spine on its tail is a sign of its deadly toxin.
This is a poison-tailed bee, a second-order zerg!
Now, the back path has been completely cut off by these two second-order zergs!
And God didn't seem to want to give these people any hope of survival, and the Zerg soldiers who were originally clustered together in front of them suddenly automatically split into an aisle. Just as Qiu Yuanming and the others were wondering why these Zerg soldiers were doing this, everyone's pupils suddenly shrank, and their eyes stared at the aisle in front of them. Because what happened next answered the question in their minds.
A giant red beetle ant with a body length of more than two meters has emerged from the swarm! The life level is still at the second order!
Counting the two second-order zergs at the back of the team, there are now three second-order zergs here!
"Damn! We're surrounded by these brutes! At this time, Qiu Yuanming also reacted, not only did they underestimate the strength of these insects in this action, but even the other party's IQ was underestimated by themselves!
When the opponent obviously wanted to force them to retreat, the team could not make a favorable attack pattern, and then take this opportunity to surround them with powerful combat power and then annihilate them in one fell swoop.
"No wonder...... I haven't seen these powerful bugs come out for so long, so I'm just waiting for this moment......"
Although Qiu Yuanming and the others couldn't accurately judge the specific life level of these three Zergs, it was easy to judge from the momentum emanating from them that this was definitely not something that the five of them could compete with, and even if they fought for their lives, it would be difficult to cause fatal damage to these three second-order Zergs!
In the face of such a powerful enemy, everyone couldn't help but feel a trace of despair. A dull aura began to spread through the ranks!
"Huh, brothers, it seems that we have to fight hard now......" Qiu Yuanming said heavily to the other four people beside him.
"Count me in, I've long seen this group of beasts unpleasant! Anyway, it's inevitable to die, and desperately one is one! Xu Yan said fearlessly as he faced the Zerg soldiers in front of him.
"It's all death horizontally and vertically, it's better to indulge again before you die!"
"That is, if we can, a few of us can still contain these guys, and maybe let a few people escape!"
The four evolutionaries all expressed their positions, only Zhao Yupeng, who didn't like to talk, didn't speak, but the look on his face that looked at death as if he was at home had already explained his decision!
In the face of such a predicament, these five evolutionaries not only did not despair, but instead inspired their fighting spirit, vowing to fight to the death with these insects in front of them to fight for the opportunity for others to escape! This is almost impossible in the last days!
"Okay, since everyone has made up their minds, then we'll drag those three bugs first, and one of them can escape ......"
However, before Qiu Yuanming could finish speaking, a sound of "Hong Hong" suddenly came from the sky.
The voice...... It's like a flamethrow! But isn't that bug flying in the sky a hornet? How can it breathe fire? Driven by curiosity, everyone raised their heads and looked at the sky, and at this glance, a scene that touched their hearts appeared in front of them:
I saw that the poison-tailed bee, which had just flown in the sky, was already blackened at this time, like a piece of coal, and the pale yellow fluff on its neck was also curled into a lump and stuck to it. The head can no longer distinguish the clear facial features, and the unimaginable high temperature has melted all its organs, and then quickly solidified and left shocking traces!
The whole body of the poison-tailed wasp was already crumbling, and after a few last flutters in the sky, it fell heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust, and there was no longer a trace of life. Although its wings have certain fireproof properties, the flames just now have destroyed most of its wings, and its own vitality is also passing rapidly.
"This ...... Who did this? ”
"Look, there's someone on the roof of the building opposite!"
The people on the ground quickly followed the direction they were instructed, and they soon saw a young man dressed in black with a horizontal knife on his back standing on the roof of the tall building opposite. The whole young man was condescending, perhaps because of what had just happened, everyone only felt that there was an inexplicable killing aura on this unattractive young man! Just like the ancient emperors who commanded thousands of troops, they are majestic and solemn, sacred and inviolable!
Who is he? How can there be such a strong strength? This is a common question in everyone's minds at this time.
The position where Lin Han was standing was exactly the same as the altitude at which the poison-tailed bee flew before, and the distance between the two was not far, which was easy to think that he had taken action to deal with the poisonous bee.
Lin Han stood on the tall building and looked at the Zerg below, and couldn't help but make his own little calculations in his heart:
"There are more than a hundred first-order zergs, all of which are mainly low-level zergs like red beetles. However, there may only be about 30% of the insect crystals that can be produced in it...... However, these three second-order Zerg Insect Fighting Crystals can be looked forward to! ”
Worm crystals also contain a large amount of source energy, and evolutionaries can also evolve by using worm crystals. However, most of the source energy in the insect crystals is very violent, and if you want to refine it all, it will take a long time, and if the evolutionary with too weak physique devours the insect crystals, there will be a risk of getting out of control!
And the worm crystal is not in the body of every zerg, but the drop rate is still far greater than that of the current zombies.
Therefore, it is far less cost-effective for ordinary evolutionaries to devour insect crystals than to devour source crystals!
But Lin Ying is not an ordinary evolutionary, but an evolutionary with a very rare source devouring body, and her strong physique can easily transform almost any energy 100% when devouring! Worm crystal is a great supplement for her!
"As long as you get these three second-order Zerg worm crystals in your hands, Xiao Ying should be able to advance to the second order...... But looking at it like this, none of these three bugs seem to be the guardians of the hive branch, and they are basically just ordinary second-order levels. Such a big movement shouldn't have happened yet! ”
"Do they think it's enough to get rid of these people with just those three guys? Also, the three second-order zergs surrounded each other even when the other party wanted to withdraw, and all the evolutionaries were all first-order, so this strength was more than enough to destroy them! "The guardians of the hive branch are very difficult, almost never too far away from the hive branch, even if they go out to fight the enemy, they control the range within a few hundred meters, and they will never leave the hive branch without doing it themselves!
"Forget it, if the two of them really don't show up, I'll go to the hive branch and slaughter them myself. Now that I've solved the most difficult poisonous bee, I'll let Xiao Ying practice the remaining two! Lin Han didn't care in his heart, it was as if the hive branch here was a tourist attraction, he would go when he said he would, and he would come back when he said he would.
However, in the face of Lin Han's strong strength, the hive branch will really be regarded as a tourist attraction by Lin Han!
In terms of physique, the strength of this poison-tailed bee that was burned to death was not the strongest among the three second-order zergs, but it was the most threatening! Not to mention the terrifying toxin on its tail, the fact that it can fly alone has an absolute advantage in the early days of the end of the world. Unless the opponent's awakened ability is also flying, they will be more or less restrained.
So Lin Han directly took matters into his own hands to deal with this poison-tailed bee first. Although he could also take care of this poison-tailed bee head-on, in order to be able to make a move with minimal consumption, it was more cost-effective for Lin Han to directly sneak attack. With his third-order spiritual power and incomparably precise control of his own aura, it was easy to take Lin Ying to quietly touch the vicinity of the hive branch, and finally use the black flame to kill this poison-tailed bee with one blow!
"Next, it's up to the warbler's performance." After Lin Han looked at the two second-order zergs in the team, the corners of his mouth outlined a trace of evil arc.
At this time, Qiu Yuanming and the others below were a little confused, why did this young man stand there without moving after he solved this poison-tailed bee? You know, there are still two powerful Zerg staring at it! And the low-level Zerg soldiers at the front had no intention of retreating, although they didn't rashly attack them after seeing the poisonous bees being killed, they were still pressing towards them step by step!
"Huh? Do you feel like the temperature around you is getting cooler? ”
"You seem to be a little cold when you say that."
"Well, look at that centipede, it's ...... on its feet Icing? ”
Everyone looked at the burrowing centipede again, only to see that a layer of frost had formed on several of its feet, and its lower body was firmly fixed to the ground, so that it could no longer burrow into the ground to escape.
It all happened so suddenly, and it took a while for everyone to find a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl on the side. Like the previous boys, they were all dressed in black, but they lacked a trace of sharpness and a little more lightness. The cold air emitted from his body condensed into small droplets in the air, producing a hazy feeling.
The frost on the feet of the burrowing centipede is the masterpiece of the forest warbler.
When the burrowing centipede saw that its lower body was frozen, it immediately began to struggle violently. Its biggest advantage is that it can burrow into the ground and unleash a surprise and fatal blow on the enemy, and it is not necessarily much stronger than other Zerg of the same rank. If it is restricted in this way, its greatest advantage will not be able to be used, which will be absolutely fatal to it!
The frost on the ground began to show traces of falling off under the swing of the huge body of the burrowing centipede, and the stone-sized ones fell to the ground with the ice slag incessantly, and soon changed into water droplets and soaked into the ground. But the whole frost was like a tree swaying in the wind, and although it looked like it was about to be uprooted, it was still very solid.
Although Lin Ying is still only a first-order life level, her actual combat power far exceeds that of an ordinary second-order evolutionary, and the condensed frost is by no means so easy for a ground-burrowing centipede whose strength is not particularly outstanding in the second order!
When Lin Ying saw that the burrowing centipede was successfully trapped, she didn't delay any longer, and immediately condensed a sharp ice pick in her hand, which burst out in an instant, stabbing at the head of the burrowing centipede that was still struggling in place at a speed that was difficult to identify with the naked eye! In the absence of absolute strength like Lin Han, it is best to find a weak point to attack. The burrowing centipede's head and abdomen are among the few parts of the body that are not covered by a carapace.
But compared to the abdomen, the brain is clearly the killer part.
"Poof!"
Before the burrowing centipede could make any resistance, the icicle in Lin Ying's hand easily pierced the head of the burrowing centipede, and the shell on its head could not resist the piercing of the icicle at all.
Lin Ying did not hesitate in the whole process, and even her expression was still calm after completing this series of attacks. This made Lin Han, who had been watching from the rooftop, silently give Lin Ying a thumbs up in his heart, which means that the current Lin Ying can already be on his own even without his help!
On the streets, the burrowing centipede has lost the support of its brain, and even the powerful Zerg can only become a cold corpse. The blood in his head dripped down the ice pick inserted on it and fell to the ground, and the bright red marks added a few bewitching patterns to the ice pick. The upper body, which was raised high a moment ago, could only hang weakly on the ground at this time, motionless.
This scene stunned the besieged people, and the young man who was originally on the tall building was already very shocked by the world. However, the girl in front of her easily killed a monster that blocked the path of an elite team like them at this time! This made everyone marvel at the same time, and the mood in their hearts was also very complicated.
The most shocking thing was Qiu Yuanming's five evolutionaries, the five of them felt the momentum of these monsters was the most intuitive in the entire team, and it was not something that a few of them could easily deal with if they picked out any of these three insects.
However, it was only a few minutes before he was seconded by two, and he was still seconded by two teenagers, which may not be able to be done even if he changed their captain Su. In other words, the strength of these two teenagers is even close to that of Captain Su under the cultivation of the state! What is this and how terrible it is?
Especially Zhao Yupeng, as an evolutionary whose ability is speed increase, super high speed is his strongest capital, even their captain Su has to spend a lot of effort to subdue him when he is full of firepower, it can be seen that his speed has reached a certain level.
But when Lin Ying sprinted in front of the burrowing centipede just now, its speed was almost the same as his speed after turning on the speed increase! And Lin Ying's ability is obviously not speed. In other words, the girl in front of her can reach her self after using her ability just by virtue of her own physique, how can Zhao Yupeng not be shocked?
"I just don't know if she used all her strength for that blow just now...... If it's just the usual speed, it's really terrifying! Thinking of this, Zhao Yupeng's heart couldn't help but shudder.
As the focus of everyone's attention, Lin Ying directly ignored everyone's shocked eyes, and his spiritual power locked on the second-order red beetle ant in front of the team and the many first-order zergs behind it.
Kill them all! This is the task given to her by Lin Han, and it is also a test given to her by Lin Han!
"I must complete this test and not let my brother down!" Lin Ying's still somewhat immature eyes revealed a trace of firmness, and a chill burst out on her body instantly! The target is a dry Zerg soldier not far ahead!
