"Puff puff", the ground insects ran through a brown earth, a few small insects only ten centimeters long lying on their backs, the small insects are a bit like slugs, the body is soft and collapsed like a puddle of mud lying on their stomachs, the only special thing is the top of their heads, on the top of their heads, two antennae stand upright, until to the sky. The antennae are long, several times longer than their bodies, and it is impossible to understand how their soft muscles can support this pair of relatively heavy antennae. These insects carrying passengers are not fast, they run and stop, and they circle a few times from time to time, as if their hearts are full of doubts.

As they marched slowly, the slugs' antennae, which had not been shaking, suddenly moved and began to rotate slowly around the top of their heads, and the ground worms under them suddenly stopped, and all the ground worms raised their heads and made threatening movements towards the sky.

There was nothing in the sky, but if you changed it to Wei's field of vision, you could see that in the direction they were targeting, a small stealth detector hovered in mid-air, constantly transmitting graphic information, knowing that it had been discovered, although there were no long-range bugs below, the detective still flashed, turned its head and slowly flew in other directions.

The ground insects below moved in unison, and at the same time, the two hind legs rubbed hard, making a terrifying sound like scratching glass, as if celebrating their victory, and after a strange cheer, the ground insects seemed to have found the target of their doubts, regained the speed of their kind, and began to fly with the slugs, trying to catch up with their own patrol progress.

As soon as the bugs left, several large craters silently appeared on the ground, and the eight vehicles of the fleeing convoy slowly drove out of several pits along the steep slope.

"Safe. Moria, who had the best eyesight, gave Shure a thumbs up, and Saf's ears moved, making normal gestures.

"Fill the pit?" The mountain elf patted the dust on his body, and the necromancer made up some foundation on his face, just now the two mages joined forces to change the terrain and dig out a few big pits to hide, but the time was too tight, and Miridi was not an elemental mage, and her control of the earth element was far worse than Mia, so the consumption was still quite large, so that her face was a little pale.

"Don't fill it in, go. Xiuer waved his hand, "If they knew to see the traces, the ruts we left along the way would have been found dozens of times, and since the ruts can't be found, the same goes for the pits." ”

"Understood. ”

"Miridy, you go into the carriage and rest, for fifteen minutes, you can take the potion. Shule, who was supposed to be on the roof of the car in front, had already climbed to the top of the rear car at this time, "Mia, you take Miridy's place, and I will take care of the car behind." ”

"I don't need to rest yet. Miridy frowned and protested dissatisfied.

"I didn't ask you if you needed it. Shure accentuated, "I need you to rest. ”

"Understood. "During the battle, the order was forbidden, and with the close contact of several people during this time, the cooperation has become more and more tacit.

"Yuli, a wide area of light deflection. ”

"Done. The ring on the winged man's hand flashed, and then he made a gesture of success.

Light Deflection is a special mid-level light attribute magic, similar to Hazy Magic, which is commonly used in the dark, but is more effective than Hazy, instead of allowing yourself to absorb light and become blurred, it can completely disappear visually.

However, if it is really so easy to use, you will not need high-level stealth techniques, in fact, after using light deflection, the person will disappear, but the position of the person will leave a distorted light and shadow, and the visual effect is very obvious. If the distance is close enough, such as twenty or thirty meters, as long as you are not blind, you can definitely see it, but if the distance is relatively far, the deception is very strong, and a hundred meters away, unless your eyesight is as good as Moria, the possibility of finding it is almost zero.

"Let's go. Shuer didn't have to worry about not being able to see people at all, these colorless shadows around him were too obvious, "Wei, speed up, don't worry about patrols at least two kilometers." ”

"Boom", the tank let out a roar, increased its speed, the ground began to retreat rapidly, and in just a few seconds, the speed of the convoy had already been raised.

"Two thousand eight hundred meters ahead, an enemy air patrol appeared, class king worm, speed twenty-one. "Even if she controls all the machines alone, Wei won't seem to be busy, at least her reaction speed will not be reduced in the slightest," Your Excellency Commander, please instruct. ”

"What is a king worm?"

"Empty jellyfish. ”

The map is on. Shul glanced at the map in front of him, "Seven degrees to the left, 1,200 meters later, correct the original angle." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. ”

"Fleison, Fleison, debrief. ”

"The target location is near. The Assassin's grim voice rang out over the communicator, "It has been confirmed that no fungus blankets have been found along the way. ”

"Go ahead until you reach the point of the target, and pay attention to the empty jellyfish overhead, there are more and more of them. "It's not that I don't believe in Wei, but in the end, I still need to run in person to rest assured that the assassin who is good at stealth speed and not slow is naturally responsible for it.

"Understood. ”

"Duck, Duck, debrief. "Aside from Fleison, Duck wasn't on the team, and Shul had sent him out a few hours earlier.

"Seven minutes later, I arrived at my destination and waited for the next step. "At this time, Dark, with the stealth scroll, has already circled around the jumping platform, and compared to the detection machine, the Nightmare Beast is much faster, and it can easily bypass the detection of the empty jellyfish.

"Specifics. ”

"Defenses are sparse, except for the need to bypass a large number of air jellyfish, no signs of large-scale troops have been found. ”

"The main array is empty, shouldn't it, sure?"

"Sure. Duck in the communicator raised his voice, "Wait, I found out that their forces are concentrated inside the brood. ”

"Concentrate your forces to protect the brood from attack, or a hidden trap?" Shure was looking down in thought, and suddenly as if he remembered something, he shouted, "Can you see inside the brood?

"Well, I didn't find a scout, so I went another two hundred meters, and I have a sense of proportion, and I will adjust the distance according to the situation. ”

"Then you can control it yourself, in case you waste an extra stealth scroll, go settle the bill with Mia yourself. "Shure is not worried about Dark's safety at all, this guy has a stronger sensitivity and grasp of the battlefield than himself, there is nothing to worry about, what he is really worried about now is the large army he leads.

Everything went very smoothly, one could even say that it was too smooth.

For several hours, there was no danger, although there were more than twenty unavoidable situations along the way, and I had to pass by the patrol, and the closest one between the two sides, just like just now, was almost zero contact. But for each encounter, there is plenty of time to prepare, or dig a pit, or erect a wall, and it is easy to fool them, except for wasting some time, and there is no impact on the team.

Then the warm-up period has passed, the convoy has begun to cross between the two forces of the insect swarm, the pressure has not increased much, it is far worse than the imagined hardship, even now, the most dangerous ten kilometers have been about to cross, there is still no accident, smooth as if even the insect swarm is cooperating with everyone.

Of course, it's a good thing that everything goes well, but if it's too smooth, it's not normal, judging from the previous performance, the intelligence of the Queen of the Swarm is definitely not low, and it really turns a blind eye to the traces left by the wheels and tracks?

"I hope the trap isn't too strong, I don't want too many people to die, otherwise even I'll feel bad. ”

"What did you say?" Duck couldn't hear what Shul was muttering in a low voice.

"It's okay, I'm distracted. Shul came back to his senses, "Be careful to keep an eye on your step, and don't ignore the small holes in the ground. ”

"You said that, what other instructions?"

"Whew, forget it, you can withdraw it. Shuer hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed, "It's better to concentrate the troops, I always have a sense of foreboding, and something is about to happen." ”

"What the hell are you worried about?" the people in command of the troops will more or less believe in a little hunch of this kind of thing, thinking that this is a guide given by the gods, and Duck is no exception, "is it because it is too smooth?"

"Wei, how far is it from boarding the fungus blanket. Shul didn't rush to answer Duck's question, but frowned and asked, "Also, what about the destination?"

"There are still twenty-two kilometers to go and forty-nine kilometers to go. ”

"How long does it take to drive at full speed?"

"With current road conditions, it would take an hour to reach the destination at full speed. ”

"Understood. Shul finally made up his mind, "Come back, Dark, and Fleison, return as soon as possible, and I'll correct the course for you." I'm about to cross the swarm's defenses, and with or without traps, I'm about to start the most critical sprint, and as for what I'm worried about...... Vi, help me switch to a special channel. ”

The so-called special channel is a channel used by the eight high-level mercenaries alone, which can avoid being heard by others.

"Actually, when we leave the fortress, we can't hide it from the Zerg Queen. Confirming that the channel had been switched, Shul said softly, "I never wanted to hide it from her. ”

"Because of the existence of brain control bugs?" Mia's voice interjected, "I see that you put everyone in the carriage and strictly forbid them to peek out, so I guess you haven't forgotten the spies in the team." ”

"Well, that's so that they can't observe the environment and provide information to the Queen, so that it can delay the Queen's time to confirm our location. Shuer suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, "Actually, I've been pretending to believe that I've deceived the queen of the swarm, and the queen of the swarm has been pretending that she has been deceived by me, hehe, in a way, we still have a tacit understanding." ”

"Your purpose is naturally to take the opportunity to get close to the target, and the closer you are, the easier it is to force a breakthrough. Miridy, who was resting in the carriage, joined the discussion, "But why is the queen of the swarm pretending to accompany you?"

"To set the trap, of course. Shuer sneered, "If we defend the fortress, if it wants to capture the fortress and destroy us, it will consume a huge number of troops, and there is a group of spiders to deal with, and it will be heartbroken if the loss is too great." And it knows that we have a lot of mobility, and if we abandon the fortress and play hide and seek with it, it doesn't know how long it will take to catch us, so it is the best choice to set a trap for us to step on ourselves. Therefore, there is no doubt that there are traps, the question is where the traps are, what they are, and how dangerous they are, and if you can know these three points in advance, you can avoid mass casualties. ”

"You got it?" Milit asked.

"I didn't know at all, so I was trying my best to investigate from the beginning. ”

"Well, I actually have an idea. Lin Jing happily waved his hand to everyone on the front tank to show his presence, "The human ghost fighter can be invisible, and the soul clan is said to have dark warriors who can be invisible, will the bugs have a similar existence? ”

"Well, I haven't seen it yet, I'll ask. Wei, do the bugs have an army that can be invisible?"

"All bugs can burrow into the ground, which is equivalent to a stealth method, and radar scanning is prepared to deal with the latent ability of the swarm. ”

"I mean the kind that can be invisible even on a fungus blanket. Shure went ahead, "Let's take the field in front of you." ”

"No such information has been found in the memory bank, and detailed information must be consulted in the main base database. ”

"Tsk, that's ......"

"Enemy attack!" Directly in front of the team, Moria's high-pitched shout suddenly rang out, and at the same time, several thick spikes pierced through the ground and pierced into the sky.
