Chapter 16: The Elemental Empress

“…… Have you heard of ...... Such a big monster......"

"I remember, Lilith said, that they had seen a very powerful lobster king (CrawmeraxtheInvincible) before, and they didn't know who named it...... It is said that the monster is so big ......"

The two of them were now lying on a high-altitude walkway, staring at the giant spider queen below with an optical scope. The walkway, which was originally supposed to be used for dumping garbage, has now become an observation point for the two.

Now the reasons for the attack on the refinery are clear at a glance.

There was clearly a spider ant queen frozen under the ice tundra, and it was impossible to verify whether it had grown to such a size later, or whether it was originally a mutant in the population. And right above it, Hyperion built a refinery of the element Eridium.

Affected by the heat and the leaking neo-neo-neo-residue sewage, the spider ant queen, who had been frozen for an unknown amount of time, was gradually infected by the neoidium element during the thawing process, and mutated into her current appearance. Later, the spider ants it gave birth to dug through the ice rock on the top, dug through the foundation of the refinery, and then rushed out to kill the unprepared workers, and then the queen ant commanded the workers to move all the eridium elements they could collect to the bottom of the factory.

Now, the spider queen is soaked in a purple pool of Eridium, which may have been a refinery's garbage dump, but now it has become a small purple garbage valley, and the concentration of Eridium below is so high that it produces a thick purple-black mist.

And in this thick purple mist, the figure of the mountain-like spider ant queen loomed. Most of the time, the Spider Empress's body is purple as it looks like spilled sewage, but occasionally, the surface of its carapace will shimmer with golden-red patterns like lava flows, or blue-white electric reticulated runes, or ring-shaped yellow-green corrosive acid streaks.

"Damn...... How is this going to be fought...... All the attributes are available...... Can it only be bombarded with explosive weapons? ”

Su Jing touched the rocket launcher on his back, but there were only three boxes of thirty rockets, looking at the size of the monster below, even if it was all poured up...... At most, it can only be seriously injured?

"Are you sure we're going to fight this? If you use the star rating of adventurers, this spider ant may have reached ...... Four stars? In the whole Pandora, only Mr. Ivan can say that he can win alone......"

Su Jing contacted Selina, and the octopus girl listened to his description for a while, and said decisively:

[Retreat, Su Jing. This level of monster is not something that the two of you can take down from the front. When you withdraw first, we will send a special task force to solve the problem. 】

"Hmm......"

In the game, I'm used to seeing any boss rush up and brush it.,It's okay to die.,But this is the world world that can't live if you're dead.。 The legendary New-U life insurance system...... Su Jing didn't want to try if he would be resurrected.

"Let's go......"

"Hmm......"

The two of them secretly got up and were about to leave, when three or four spider ants with yellow-green acid mist rushed out from the opposite side of the aisle.

"It's over!"

"They've already found us!"

Now Su Jing can confirm two things:

First, the spider ants have not forgotten these two invaders.

Second, the spider ant queen below deliberately lured them over.

Now Su Jing understands why the search team in front of him has been wiped out so inexplicably. They must have been in the same situation, lured into the depths by the spider ants, and then swept them all away.

The corrosive spider ant spewed out acid, corroding one end of the high-altitude passage of the cast iron, and the already very slender working passage could not bear the weight of two people at the moment, and it snapped. Su Jing and Gage screamed as they slowly fell from a height of at least thirty meters above the ground—Pandora's low gravity saved their lives again—or the other way around. Su Jing could see that the spider ant queen below had raised her claws, and waited for the two of them to land within its attack range.

"Woo-ah-Gage'——!!"

In the precious time of the three or four seconds of falling, Gage finally struggled to raise her mechanical left hand and snapped her fingers:

"Death Trap - Summon!!"

Gage's nickname "Mechromancer" is due to the fact that she used her engineering genius to hide her masterpiece, the DeathTrap, a combat robot, in the folded space attached to her left arm.

Until then, Gage had been reluctant to pull out her machine summon to open Su Jing's eyes, in her words, "The Death Mechanism is not for juggling, it's a real killing machine, buddy."

At this moment, the death trap rushed out of the void and caught Su Jing and Gai Qi one by one. The Spider Empress's claws swung into the air, and the Empress, who had not been able to tear her prey in half, let out an angry hiss.

"Whew...... It's dangerous...... I survived. ”

The two of them lay in the arms of the death mechanism, and it was only at this moment that Su Jing had a chance to look at this combat robot that had been summoned countless times in the game.

The Death Mechanism is about a meter tall, and the red-and-black painted robot has only its upper body, with a flame thruster in its place. Its control and energy centers are hidden in its chest, protected by a thick layer of armor, and it also has a laser emitter on its chest. On both hands, a pair of Wolverine-like claws and a pair of katana swords hung from their backs...... According to Gage's explanation, it can also be replaced with an ion jet knife or a high-energy electric shocker according to different situations.

The death trap was suspended at a height of more than ten meters with the two of them in his arms, and this position happened to be a safe height that the Spider Ant Empress could not reach. The Empress spewed a few thick cobwebs, but Gage deftly avoided them by manipulating the Death Trap.

"Wait...... If you let your robot hold us like this, wouldn't we be able to consume it slowly? ”

"Then we have to act faster, the high-energy fuel that pushes the death trap can only last...... Three or four minutes. ”

Glancing at each other, the two of them took out the heaviest firepower on their bodies. Su Jing disarmed the sniper rifle, and handed over the rocket launcher to Gai Qi to operate.

Bang!

Su Jing tried to shoot a shot, originally in this kind of unstable place, it was very difficult to snipe, but the size of the empress was too large, and the weakness of its abdomen was simply visible in the sky directly above, even a blind man could hit.

A hole appeared in the empress's buttocks, and a thick, purple-gold liquid slowly flowed out of the wound. But this hole is nothing compared to the empress's huge body......

"With a grenade!"

The large number of grenades found in the ammunition room before came in handy, and the two of them threw down the grenades regardless of their attributes and effects. Twenty or thirty grenades rumbled and exploded below, and the effects of flames, lightning, acid mist, and purple slag all crushed over the spider ant queen.

Gage didn't think it was enough, so she pressed a box of rockets into the launcher, aimed it at the spider queen's ass slightly, and blasted them all out of the way in a row. Ten rockets exploded on the Spider Ant Empress with tail flames, and large streams of purple blood spilled out like fountains of purple blood.

The purple mist that spread everywhere was also stirred up and rolled in this series of explosions, and a lot of it dispersed. When the clouds cleared, the scarred body of the Spider Ant Empress was completely presented in front of the two of them.

"Push it up!" Gage excitedly shouted, "It's dying!" We can kill it before we run out of fuel!! ”

"Uh...... Do you feel ...... We seem to be ...... Sink? ”

At some point, the Death Trap's rocket ejector seemed to be running out of power, and the height of the two was gradually decreasing.

Gai Qi was so panicked for a moment that the sweat on his face came out, and he couldn't care about the queen ant, he threw the bazooka to Su Jing, and climbed behind the death mechanism to check the failure of the thruster, and he didn't even notice that the skeleton rabbit panties under his short skirt were exposed in front of Su Jing's eyes.

"Damn...... This damn purple slag mist...... Eroded my engine!! ”

Under the impact of this ominous news, Su Jing directly threw down his sniper rifle, took out a lighter revolver and a buzzing axe, and prepared for the most dangerous close combat.

Relying on the last bit of power, Gage did his best to fly the death trap a little farther away, landing in the corner of the garbage mountain. As soon as the death trap landed, Gage retracted the robot into the compressed space. Su Jing waved the buzzing axe, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go to the front to attract its attention, and you use the rocket launcher to cover me in the back!" ”

"This ...... cough cough cough ...... I'm better than you...... I...... cough cough cough ......"

Gai Qi even had some difficulty breathing in the purple mist, and as she inhaled more and more purple dregs, the girl knelt directly on the ground and coughed incessantly. Su Jing hesitated for a second, put the rocket launcher in front of her, hung a box of ten rockets on her waist, and rushed towards the Spider Ant Empress alone.

Purple slag is harmful to normal people, but there are demon hunting insects on your body!

After the mutation, the demon hunting insect lodged in his left eye, not only did he not have to fear the erosion of the purple mist, but even in the mist, he could feel that more and more energy was condensing in his left eye...... Intensifier!!

Su Jing finished the revolver bullet of a bullet wheel in one go, and the large-caliber bullet could only scratch shallow pits on the head armor of the spider ant queen, which could not cause effective damage at all.

The enraged Spider Empress roared, and in its mouth, a golden-red ball of fiery energy was rapidly condensing. With its size, the condensed energy ball was one size larger than Su Jing's entire person. Su Jing had no doubt that if he was hit by this ball of flames, even if he used a blue adaptive shield, he would be burned to ashes with a single blow, and there was no possibility of anything else.

At this moment, Su Jing stopped, this twenty-year-old man with a crazy factor hidden in his heart stood in front of the Spider Ant Empress, motionless, just raised the buzzing axe in his hand high, and provoked the Spider Ant Empress, who was hundreds of times larger than him!!

Behind her is the defenseless Gage, and if she retreats here, the aftermath of the energy bomb alone will shock her to a serious injury! At that time, even if he could survive, Gage would be dead!

Sometimes, as a man, you can't retreat a step. Death really didn't matter to him, he sacrificed himself to protect a character in the game - he didn't even think about it - but he wanted his death to be worthwhile. This is Su Jing's romantic aesthetics, even if he dies here, he must die dignified, like a hero, to die to protect others.

The Spider Ant Empress roared loudly, and then the energy bullet in her mouth blasted straight down towards Su Jing!

In Gai Qi's loud wail, Su Jing's figure was completely engulfed by the golden-red energy wave. The volume of the energy bomb gradually expanded, but it suddenly contracted violently, and then exploded-

The explosion was not as violent as Gai Qi imagined, and she knew that it was because Su Jing had borne most of the power head-on, and under this power, he had no chance of surviving. She wiped away her tears, lifted the rocket launcher in her hand, and pressed her blurred eyes into the scope, aiming at the ugly face of the Spider Queen.

At this time, a figure appeared in the scope, and Gage was so shocked that she forgot to pull the trigger, just staring at the back in a demented manner.

Bathed in flames, Su Jing untied the scrapped shield generator from his belt and threw it aside. His bare skin was covered with a golden-red glow, and his left eye was a pure crimson gold. He grinned wildly, the buzzing axe in his right hand still held high.

"You're going to set it on fire, won't I?! Don't underestimate people!! ”

Su Jing began to run.

Su Jing began to accelerate.

Su Jing jumped up.

Su Jing swung the buzzing axe at the queen's face!
