Chapter 62: The Maze
After breaking out of the encirclement, Xue Qiong took out a bottle of MP potion and poured it into his mouth, but he coughed up half of it, mixed with blood, but he was still running under his feet, and his speed did not slow down at all...
The outskirts of Tasanis are basically endless bare wilderness, but in fact it is not so flat, the ground is dry and cracked everywhere, and there are always one or two stones that are not long enough to scatter everywhere, so Xue Qiong actually tripped and fell out of the stealth state while running.
Then Xue Qiong propped up his upper body with his hands, panting, and coughing didn't stop, not to mention the blood that was coughed up from his lungs as if he didn't want money.
"Ahem! Ahem! I'll just say, this move... Ahem, it shouldn't be used by a big smoker at all..."
No matter what world you are in, the most important thing in the martial art of lion roar is that the lung capacity should be large and the lungs should be good. However, Xue Qiong not only smoked, but also smoked very fiercely in the past two days...
In fact, Xue Qiong's current level of mental power, in terms of the evaluation given by the beacon, is only equivalent to about level 29 in that game. However, he decisively teleported three small colorless crystals, because he knew that he could use them, he had the means to use them, and he could only hold them two or three times at most.
It seems to be a self-contained system of mindfulness, and it can be strengthened with the increase of strength, unlocking a variety of different tricks, after the completion of the enhancement task, the beacon actually plays a protective mechanism: all the specific ways of using the mind that exceed the user's strength, such as moves, etc., are removed from their memory and stored in the beacon, and only when the user's strength reaches that level, it will unlock this information.
However, Xue Qiong used it... Although it also paid a certain price, and in fact, in addition to the stun, the power of this move in his hand was also very small, and none of those insects were directly shocked to death at that time.
But no one knows how he broke through the limits of the beacon, and there will be no one in the future.
Xue Qiong stood up, patted the dust on his body, and regained his invisibility, and then he forcibly stuffed a cigarette into his mouth despite the fact that he was still coughing up blood, lit it, took out a vulture, and threw a multipurpose capsule to Alessato.
After the previous desperate run, the three of them had already left the sight of all the insects at this time, and even when the shielding statue had been completely destroyed, they had no determination to be observed by the Zerg Lord's spiritual perception at all, because they had been solved by Nangong You, who was flying in the air.
The ugly engine sound of the vulture chariot suddenly sounded, but the driver was completely invisible in the driver's seat, like three ghost cars galloping on the wilderness, how strange and weird the situation looked...
And Xue Qiong's first-stage purpose has also been achieved.
The target of the bugs has always been only Kerrigan alone.
And here's a very interesting thing to note, judging from the IQ that the brain worm has shown before, it will be at least a long time before it can be searched here... So either the brain worm suddenly became smarter, or it had a strategist-type figure by its side... Although from everyone's impression of the Zerg, both of these things sound unlikely, but this is the only possibility.
Then, if you rule out the possibility that the brain worm has become smart on its own, the military advisor... On this planet, there may be guys who are willing to work for the Zerg, and are strong enough to be recognized by the brain worms, rather than being killed directly as soon as they meet... It could only be the unbelievers of Nkazaru.
So Xue Qiong would ask Mike where the priests, that is, the Star Spirit Devil May Cry, were weak.
The purpose of the group wanting to assassinate the brain worm is impossible to hide from the brain worm. The Priest of Enkazaru on the opposite side and the Brain Worm knew that they could only use the Void Ghost Energy to kill the Brain Worm, and if that priest and the Zerg were united, it would be impossible not to observe the battlefield before everyone, then when Alesato was fighting, especially the traces left by the Ice Blade Fluctuating Sword, and the large-scale cutting effect of the Evil Light Slash attached to the Void Ghost Energy, he would be noticed, so he would know that Alessato, the star spirit who could use the Void Ghost Energy, was likely to be in that mysterious squad at this time.
But if Alessato is alone, he can't get rid of the brainworm the size of the mountain anyway, so more humans must learn the Void Ghost Energy.
So the question is, in the eyes of the brain worm and the priest of Nkazaru, who in this group is more likely to learn the Void Ghost Ability?
Kerrigan, this is the only one to choose.
So after the eight of them acted separately, in the eyes of the other side, Kai Ruigan was likely to be in this part of the assassination of brain worms, but she could also be stuck at the entrance of the mine, and finally Nangong You, who was flying everywhere in the sky, was also likely to be Kai Ruigan, after all, she learned the Void Ghost Energy, could fly, was used to stealth and put cold guns and was still a woman.
Xue Qiong was cautious. Since the bugs on the other side of the encirclement, after regaining the lord's control, the brainworms will definitely read their memories to determine who has fled, and if there is a battle due to them blocking the way, the brainworms will also be able to see some clues. So he had to stun the bugs with a lion's roar and leave as fast as he could. In this way, the other insects could not see the invisible three, and the insects who were attacked all fainted, and the insects there lost their command and entered the chaos, and these fallen insects died properly.
Even when the three of them changed into vultures and started to travel at high speed, Nangong You, who was driving a flying skateboard, was still cruising above them, killing one or two Zerg lords from time to time, just to prevent specific information about the three of them from reaching the brain worms.
As a result, the personnel situation of this eight-person squad after dispersion, except for the very obvious three people who are bound to be in front of Du Zhenhuan and the bald Lei Kai, the specific whereabouts of the rest of the people are completely confused in the eyes of the Zerg. Xue Qiong weaves a maze that Kerrigan could be in any of these three groups, and the odds are not small. For this reason, the Zerg had to divide their energy and strength into three parts, and even if they could fail again if they did not concentrate their efforts, they still had to do so.
Xue Qiong didn't say these thoughts. However, none of the seven were stupid, and of course they could sense part of his thoughts, and then spot some obvious problems.
For example, in the selection of people who broke out of the encirclement, Xue Qiong is the only one who does not know the Void Ghost Energy, even if he wants to use the light attribute of the mind to deal with the Devil May Cry that the other party may have, his strength is not enough, and it is not worth the risk at all, after all, Nangong You still has a large number of nuclear bombs in her hands, even if she uses the nuclear bomb to plow the place where the brain worm is located and blow everything up, it is okay to let Xiao Yun and Mike use the Void Ghost Energy to kill slowly after the brain worm is resurrected.
For example, after realizing Xue Qiong's intentions, the Zerg can completely besiege the mine without attacking it, and only concentrate their superior forces on Xue Qiong and them who rushed out...
For another example, if the opposite side is really the priest of Enkazalu, and even Mike has a crystal in his hand that shows Xue Qiong's appearance, then Xue Qiong estimates that as long as he shows his face, the priest may reverse the water and kill the brain worm...
However, no one asked. In addition to Xue Qiong having already said "there is no why", this move is objectively not wrong, it will indeed cause a lot of trouble to the Zerg, and then those reincarnators have always thought that Xue Qiong is a person who has a heart, just when he has been hiding his strength... As for Kai Ruigan, she felt that she was the object of protection, and Xue Qiong's doing this also increased her own safety factor, so it was hard to say anything.
But the reason why Xue Qiong had to rush out together was...
The Vulture Chariot is very fast, and it is expected to reach the hive where the brain worm is located within twenty minutes.
On the other side, because Nangong You had to clean up the Zerg Lords who might sense the three people on Xue Qiong's side, on the side of the mine, there were already lords who had taken over the command of those bugs, and the chaotic cannibalism of the bugs had finally stopped.
So they began to concentrate on the charge, and the cannon fire of the Zeus-class prototype roared again, and as for some of the bugs that were lucky enough to rush close, they were resisted by the four machine guns on Zeus, as well as the bald head and Lei Kai, who were positioned as meat shields.
Kai Ruigan was strictly ordered by Xue Qiong not to shoot directly unless necessary, and she also sensed part of Xue Qiong's intentions, so she just sat in Zeus's cockpit, behind Du Zhenhuan, and helped him control part of the fire control system.
The battlefield here at the entrance of the cave is like a huge meat grinder, and under the powerful firepower of Zeus's prototype, countless insects die every minute. It didn't take long for the bugs to begin to recede like a tide, forming a formation and waiting for reinforcements, and it seemed that the commander on the opposite side not only wanted to surround it, but also wanted to directly use the lives of the bugs to directly consume Zeus's ammunition.
However, Du Zhenhuan is a reincarnation... The bugs he killed with Zeus, although the reward for killing was very rewarding, and it was cut to a pitiful few, but there were still them. Even most of the shells he fired out were able to pay off... So it's a big deal that he can use points to teleport ammunition, plus it's simply tailored to the favorable terrain, if nothing else, this battlefield won't have much of a problem even if it drags on to the wilderness.
Soon, a fungus blanket appeared under the wheels of the three vulture chariots, a fungus-like and secretion-like, slimy, fuchsia-red disgusting thing that covered all the ground as far as the eye could see. Its role is to provide nutrients for all the flesh and blood buildings of the Zerg, and the appearance of this thing also means that Xue Qiong and they have officially entered the scope of the Worm Hive.
Needless to say, in an instant, there were insects that could not be seen at the eye. Even if Nangong You cleared out all the lords, the spiritual perception of the Zerg still couldn't cover them, but this place was too close to the brain worms, so the brain worms could at least directly command these bugs to besiege the three vultures that were not invisible.
However, the three of them stepped on the accelerator again, and had no intention of slowing down even a little bit...
Because Nangong You, who was flying stealthily in the sky, had already taken out a few tactical nuclear bombs, set the time, and gently threw them down.
