Chapter 65: Investigation at Point 1
In the otherworldly projection without the sun, only the stars can be seen twinkling day and night, and the world on the ground is forever in darkness, and the darkness makes people feel endlessly depressed. The faint light of the unknown constellation adds a bit of haze to the dark world, and in the faint shadows, the sound of Suo Suo constantly echoes around, as if there are thousands of insects crawling in the shadows.
It's not as if this is the truth, but there are thousands of bugs hiding in the dark, these thoughtless bugs, always staying in the same area, wandering in a small area, unhungry, tireless, just to carry out the queen's orders, to keep the entrance of the cave tightly, to seal the enemy underground, to prevent the enemy from breaking through the ground and occupying other ore veins.
Yes, this is the war zone named Point One, where the two bugs face each other, and the ground is full of crawling bugs. The two sides have been fighting tentatively several times, but there has been no progress, the entrance to the cave is still well sealed by cobwebs, the swarm has not been able to enter the cave, the little spiders have not been able to expand their territory, the two sides continue to see, and no one has taken advantage.
After all, spiders are not as smart as humans, and they know how to use various techniques to avoid damage, they will only use their bodies to resist, which leads to a lot of losses on both sides in every tentative engagement.
The air was filled with the smell of insects and death, but there were no corpses on the ground, either shredded and recovered by the fungus blankets, or carried back to the nest by the spiders as reserve food, and it was a shame for the insects to waste it.
The two kinds of bugs are at war and stop fighting, but now they are just in peacetime, and between the opposing positions, there is a blank space more than ten meters wide, which can be regarded as a fragile buffer zone between the two sides.
The faint sound of jets rang out from the night sky above the buffer zone, but there was nothing to see in the sky, only the stars. Accompanied by the jet, Shuer's suppressed voice also came out of the void: "The speed is amazing, the flying vehicles in this world are really unusual, and they can actually be invisible, but when they took off just now, what was the situation of Yuli, how did he look like crazy." ”
"Eh, don't you know? She has already taken these two ghost fighters as lovers, and finally found two winged ones of the same kind, and was trying to get in touch with each other, but you actually fell in love with her lover, and took her lover away from others, of course people will go crazy. ”
It looks like there's nothing in the air, but if there's stealth detection equipment or magic, you'll see a flying vehicle hovering in the sky, one of the two Ghost Warplanes in the Human Fortress. The space in the fighter plane was very small, and Shul and Moriah were huddled into the small space, their bodies almost close together.
The two of them ran to the vicinity of the mother nest of the insect swarm early this morning, found the dirt slope where they had been lying yesterday, and searched around, and sure enough, they found the ruins of the soul clan base behind a pile of rubble. The rest of the buildings had long since collapsed, and only a few crystal towers were still standing alone on the surface, but most of them had been damaged, and only two still had a faint energy response, just enough to supply the filthy Hopping Platform.
Unexpectedly, the technology of the Soul Clan is quite reliable, and decades have passed, and the folding platform that has been placed in the open air and unmaintained can still operate normally, and after the familiar feeling of vertigo, the two of them saw the underground base of the Soul Clan again.
The tactics of attacking the east and west can be applied normally, and now I am finally relieved. The next thing is simple, using a bunch of crooked reasoning to deceive the two portable folding devices left by the soul clan's mastermind, which are actually two things like belts. With the loot, the two had another big fight at the ground base, and then they left in the protest of Lin Jing's shouting.
Moria had just congratulated herself on the fact that her suffering as a mount was finally over, but she didn't even have time to take a sip of water when she returned to the fortress, and was pulled down directly by Shul to the control room, and it is said that it was Wei who informed him that the burrowing spiders and the insect swarm were fighting again. Even though she kept shouting misleading nonsense such as letting me go and I wasn't mentally prepared, she was still caught in the dark control room.
Unfortunately, the battle was over by the time the two arrived, and nothing could be seen, much to Shure's disappointment.
"I'm going to go to Point 1 to reconnoitre, and it's best to go into the cave, and I'm always worried about not seeing the battle between the two sides and confirming that the burrowing spiders can hold back the large army of bugs. I don't want to think I've succeeded in diverting the main defense of the swarm, only to end up with an army of them coming back to our aid, leaving us in the net. ”
When Shuer said this as he looked at the calm battlefield images, Moria almost thought that she had misheard, and Lin Jing was making trouble, but he had always supported Shuer on key issues. However, this time, even she thought that Xiu'er was whimsical, and it was too difficult for such a dense number of insects to get in. It's not completely hopeless, the problem is that there is no need to take such a big risk, if there are no empty jellyfish roaming in the sky, you can try it with stealth, but those empty jellyfish are really ...... Wait, what about the empty jellyfish?
Only then did Lin Jing realize that there were no empty jellyfish in the center of the battlefield in the image, they were all swimming around the periphery, and the closest to the battlefield was also a few hundred meters away. But even so, it is impossible for the two of them to break through the outer blockade of the empty jellyfish and directly enter the core area.
However, if there is a loophole, there is a chance, in Shuer's thoughts, he originally wanted to use those invisible detectors to see if he could quietly send the two into the encirclement, but he didn't expect Wei to propose a better method, a ghost fighter with a stealth device.
"Well, I was wrong, I really shouldn't have asked you. Huddled in the cramped cockpit, Shuer rubbed his forehead with a headache and tapped a strangely shaped bracelet on his wrist, "Wei, what's going on around you?"
"The swarm is fine, Commander. Wei's voice came from a disc on the bracelet, "There is no tendency on either side to attack us. ”
"Tsk, this thing is so handy. Shure pressed back and forth on the bracelet's disc, "Have you moved here now, or are you still at the base, just a transmission of sound?"
"Remote control, your Excellency, in ......"
"Well, okay, let's get back to that. Shure quickly interrupted Wei's tirade, he had no objection to learning more about this world, but the language was still very rusty, listening to explanations that were obviously technical terms was mental torture, and there was no good place to chat, "Are you sure you haven't been discovered by the empty jellyfish?"
"Although there is no gap in their field of vision between each other, there is a blind spot above the defense, we crossed the scouting circle from high altitude, and if the field of view data provided by the commander is not wrong, then they will not detect us. ”
"Well done, Vi, you're a very good artificial intelligence. Shuer patted the bracelet, which meant patting her shoulder, "Is it convenient to land now? If it's not convenient, we can find a way to jump." ”
"Ghost fighters take off and land vertically, Your Excellency, Commander. As Vi answered, Shure and Moriah clearly felt that they were descending at a uniform speed, looking out through the transparent hatch, the ground was getting closer and closer, and the empty space between the two sides was the most suitable landing spot.
"Whew, I'm scared to death. As soon as the fighter plane landed, Moria jumped out of the cabin as if she had escaped, but fortunately, Shure reacted quickly and tore open the scroll of the stealth technique first, otherwise the two of them would have enjoyed the onlookers of millions of insects. As soon as Lin Jing landed, he couldn't wait to transform into a deer form, and he should have rolled on the ground by the way when he heard the voice, "The sky is so scary, yo yo, I don't want to fly up again, I am a tree, I want to take root in the earth." ”
It seems that the racial instinct is still very powerful, and even an unscrupulous guy like Lin Jing will be terrified because he leaves the ground.
"I'm sorry, we'll have to fly again when we go back, and I'll pray to Lord Darkmoon for you. Finally found an opportunity, Xiuer gloated and teased a few words, and then ordered, "Wei, let the fighter plane hover in the air and stand by, so as not to be affected when the two sides fight again, let's ...... Huh, are you sure we're not being discovered?"
Shuer was a little surprised, because eight dragonflies formed a diamond-shaped queue, flying through the sky, it is said that this is just a normal patrol, everyone has seen them when they were observing at high altitude before, but this time, they are obviously a lot closer to the crypt, I don't know if they sensed the abnormal flow of air, so to take a closer look, or simply deviate from the course.
However, the reason is no longer important, because when they were still about 100 meters away from the crypt, the tight cobwebs suddenly made a sound like when the bowstring was released, and the cobwebs also trembled violently, and more than 20 burrowing spiders with bodies more than half a meter long and open legs with a total length of three meters were hooked and connected together, like a boulder in a trebuchet, and were bounced into the sky by the cobwebs.
The spiders flew very fast, shooting fifty or sixty meters in the blink of an eye, but this also exhausted their initial speed, and they were still a little half away from the dragonfly, and they had already begun to fall downward.
However, the spiders seem to have been prepared for this, when they flew out, they were already in a posture of overlapping up and down, and they began to fall, the spiders below acted as a springboard, and the spiders above jumped up again, and flew out more than 20 meters, and a large amount of spider silk suddenly erupted from the abdomen, firmly sticking to the wings of the dragonflies, so that they lost the power to fly in an instant, and they couldn't even struggle in mid-air, so they could only watch the little spiders pounce on themselves in the air, and were tightly clamped by eight legs.
If this trend continues, the spiders and dragonflies will fall into the swarm together, but only then did Shul and Moria barely see that a few slender threads of spider silk were always behind the spiders. After capturing the target, the spider silk suddenly tensed, dragging the spiders back, and finally landed in the empty space between the two sides. As soon as they landed, the spiders dragged their prey back to the cobwebs as fast as they could, leaving no chance for the swarm to attack.
"I finally know why the Sky Jellyfish is hiding so far. After being stunned for a while, Xiuer sighed, "Sure enough, these guys have absorbed the energy of the crystal, and they are already a bit exaggerated." ”
