Chapter 42: The Manor Crisis (8)
"Jean ......" heard the gunshots, and the people of the fifth group understood that it was Jean on the ground who was holding the enemy on the ground back for them.
There are two nests of insects in the face-eating insect swarm, just like the ancient emperors lived in the inner city and the people lived in the outer city. Unlike the faceeaters who live deep underground, the royal family of faceeaters usually live on the cool and ventilated surface, so Dora orders Jean to stay on the ground to monitor the movement of the nests on the surface.
The fastest movement speed of the Emperor Star Worm is close to the limit speed of ordinary humans running short distances, and the dirt slope is only more than 200 meters away from the farm, with the speed of the Emperor Star Worm, it will approach him in more than ten seconds.
Swapping out the magazine, Jean decisively put the sniper rifle behind him and began to run for his life.
Underground, Ethan has a small pill in his mouth, a mana potion in his mouth, and a short dagger in both wields, harvesting the life of the face-eater insect with a knife in the attack of countless sharp horns and jaw pincers.
Due to the presence of insect corpses piling up on the ground, Ethan was able to lean against them and avoid being attacked on all sides.
Although the quicksand technique and the silver raid were still waiting to be restored, the attack of the faceeater was too fierce for the others to resist, so Ethan had to force it up to attract firepower.
After resisting for more than twenty seconds, the power of the silver raid finally returned to his body, and Ethan returned to his position with his feet. It's just that this time there are many more wounds on his body, not to mention the weak points of protection, even the thickest frontal breastplate has an extra break, and the viscous corrosive liquid dissolves the 15 mm thick armor in a minute, and bursts of stinging pain come from the skin on his chest.
However, the results of this effort are also remarkable, under the joint efforts of the four people, the insect tide has been wiped out by nearly a quarter, a large number of insect corpses are piled up in the middle of the road, and there are many props and items that fall when killing monsters are also piled up in the middle of the road, forming a natural roadblock, and the face-eating insects behind can only crawl through this obstacle in small quantities, and it is difficult to pose a threat to the defense line.
Just as a few people were about to breathe a sigh of relief, Gene came with bad news from the channel: "They're heading for you, be careful!" ”
After finding themselves getting farther and farther away from the territory, the Emperor Star Worms decisively gave up the chase and divided the guards into two groups, a small group of mutated face-eaters with a total number of more than ten continued to chase Jean, and the remaining Emperor Star Worms and mutant face-eaters turned their heads and drilled into the worm path, preparing to besiege and kill the invaders who invaded the underground hive.
"Bang bang bang!" Jean fired three shots in quick succession, killing the last few Emperor Worms that burrowed into the ground.
And in front of him, more than a dozen fast-moving face-eaters threw their tentacle-like mouthparts out of the mutation and pounced on him.
"44 Emperor Star Worms, 25 Mutant Face Devouring Worms are approaching!" Jeff reported.
"Thermal weapons can be used." Seeing this, Dora lifted the previous ban.
Once the heat weapon is used in the hive, it means that it will attract several times as many faceeaters and emperor insects, which is tantamount to drinking to quench thirst. However, once more than forty Emperor Star Worms with an average level of 20 joined the battlefield, they would undoubtedly kill Ethan and the others in an instant, so it was better to buy more time at this moment.
Just as Christina and the others were about to change into automatic rifles placed on the ground, Ethan waved them off.
"We still have a chance." Ethan said.
Retrieve the sword stuck in the ground and leap out of the line in one step. Quicksand, Silver Raid, Flying Swallow Wings, Back Attack, all skills poured out, sweeping away the distance from the middle insect corpse barricade to the front of the front line in one go, leaving only three or two face-devouring insects that kept pouring in.
"Chris, Adeline, Clorence, come over here and help!" Ethan picked up a worm corpse, threw it next to the pile, and shouted to the team behind him.
With the characteristics of an entomological scholar, Ethan sensed that more than a hundred meters away from this insect path, dozens of huge insects were rapidly approaching here, and those insects should be the Emperor Star Worm that Jeff said.
Constructing two lines of defense, leaving a passage just enough to hold an Emperor Star Worm, and letting them in and killing them one by one is Ethan's idea.
"Me?"
Clarence was stunned until Christina helped him to his feet.
The left half of his body was completely paralyzed, and Lawrence struggled to pull out the steel shield that had been distorted and deformed half a foot into the ground. Step by step, he moved to Ethan's side, learning his movements to pile the worm corpses on both sides.
Ten meters, five meters, here!
The sound of the Emperor Star Worm rubbing its body was like a lion tiger roaring, which made people shudder.
In the gap, a giant bug the size of a heavy locomotive squeezed through the rest of the faceeaters and struck at Ethan in a furious manner.
[Small Ferent Star Worm] Lv.21
Ethan took a few steps behind him, and a hideous insect face suddenly appeared on the gap in the barricade.
Although Ethan didn't have time to explain his plan to them due to the tight time, when he saw Lawrenceston here, he understood Ethan's intentions, and the assault airbag behind his back was opened, and the twisted iron shield in his hand was rigidly blocked by the gap, preventing other emperor insects from entering.
However, the strength of Claurence's alone is obviously not enough to stop the infinitely powerful Emperor Star Worm, and Adeline also has a tacit understanding to manipulate the Ant Machine to help Claurence's front line after seeing Ethan's movements.
From the smell God Star Worm, it was sniffed out that Ethan was the most threatening, so the Emperor Star Worm completely ignored the three people on the side, picked up the spikes on his head and slammed into Ethan.
The speed of the Emperor Star Insect's blow was a flash of lightning in the eyes of ordinary people, and it was unpredictable. However, Ethan, who was not low in agility, didn't pay attention to the attack of the Emperor Star Worm at all, and set up his long sword to deflect the attack of the Emperor Star Worm to the side, and then stabbed the body of the Emperor Star Worm with a piercing blow with a back attack.
"The Emperor Star Worm has two main attacks, one is the spikes on its head, and the other is its mouthparts. The mouthparts of the Emperor Star Worm can stretch to more than 1 meter long and are very sharp. As Ethan fights the Emperor Worm, Jeff reminds.
After a successful blow, I thought that this crucial blow would severely damage the Emperor Star Insect, but I didn't expect that the thick blood bar displayed on the top of the Emperor Star Insect's head had been reduced by less than one-tenth.
The pain-eating Emperor Star Worm suddenly cracked open its big mouth, and the jaws and mouthparts connected to its head and chest and abdomen popped out, clamping Ethan.
The mouthparts of the Emperor Star Worm were very sharp, and the armor on Ethan's body cracked several cracks under the blow of several jaw pins. Under the continuous force of the Emperor Star Worm, the sickle-shaped jaws gradually penetrated into the armor, as if to cut Ethan into pieces.
"Poof" Ethan's mask opened, and a wooden plug spat out and hit the eye of the Emperor Star Worm.
After drinking a full bottle of mana potion, Ethan's body shook, and the sickle-shaped jaws bounced off uncontrollably.
"Give me death!"
Ethan exerted his strength with both feet and slammed into the body of the Emperor Star Insect, the body of the long sword was completely submerged from the mouthparts of the Emperor Star Insect, and a large amount of viscous dark green juice splattered out of the body of the Emperor Star Insect and sprinkled on Ethan's face.
Holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, it swung upwards violently, and after breaking through the heavy carapace, the long sword danced a silver arc of light, once again slicing the Emperor Star Worm in half from top to bottom.
A large amount of juice gushed out from the corpse of the Emperor Star Worm and dripped to the ground.
