Chapter Ninety-Eight: The First Meeting
Thirty-six floors.
Infernal Hell!
Shen Yi stood on a mountain peak and looked into the distance, with a dense sea of insects at his feet, and there was no end in sight.
If the previous trip to hell was still looking for monsters in the vast land, then in this Infernal Worm Prison, the sea of insects simply makes you unable to see the existence of the land. Not only the land, but also the sky is full of all kinds of strange insects.
Although they are called Zerg, there are actually many creatures that have nothing to do with the Zerg in StarCraft, densely packed with various forms of bugs, and there are hundreds of species of them just from morphological analysis.
Among them, Shen Yi found the familiar Wind Green Mantis and the new breed like the Scythe Beast.
However, what shocked Shen Yi the most was a behemoth floating in the sky in the distance.
It was a giant beast shaped like a centipede, nearly a thousand meters long, and its whole body was densely covered with all kinds of circular blowholes, large and small, and countless small zergs crawled in and out of it. It has hundreds of giant long feet, which are paddled in the air like oars, so that flying in the air is like rowing on the water, and each stroke can instantly rush thousands of meters away. At the tip of the beast, two huge tentacles were constantly waving, as if receiving signals, and the large, hideous mouth with sharp teeth spewed flame-like air from time to time.
From a distance, it looked like a biological warship moving in the sky.
At that moment, Shen Yi once again remembered the huge white skeleton in the City of Ashes.
Zerg brood!
Is this the Zerg brood?
According to Shen Yi Shen Yi's understanding, the so-called Zerg brood is actually the Zerg's aerial battleship, which has multiple functions such as hatching larvae and carrying adults, and at the same time has a strong attack ability.
This is the world of Bloody City, even if there is a shadow of StarCraft, it is only a shadow after all, it can only be said that it happens to be a little similar in some aspects, but it is another life that exists completely independently.
At least in StarCraft, the Zerg has no battleships to speak of, and here, Shen Yi was also shocked to see the grandeur of the Zerg's brood battleship.
To put it simply, there's something in the stars, here's it. What you don't have in the interstellar world, you can have it here!
The brood in front of him was just one of them, and not far away, an even larger brood slowly swam over, spun around in the air, and then flew towards the other end.
Shen Yi noticed that each Zerg mother nest actually has its own space.
In other words, the Zerg he saw at the moment was actually just a Zerg deployment under the jurisdiction of the Zerg Hive who didn't know whether it was low or high!
This is ...... What the!
Who said they only have a million of them?
Shen Yi smiled bitterly.
At the beginning, he expected that there would only be a million people in the Zerg, because he combined the Zerg he saw, and then based on the strength of the Zerg that the guardians produced by the city every year could contend with, he came up with an analysis.
Although he also knows that this analysis may not be accurate, it can't be so different, right?
The dense sea of insects in front of me alone that cannot be seen at a glance is no less than one or two hundred thousand, and if you go deeper, I don't know how many there are.
But if there are really so many Zerg outside, why do the city guardians defend the city?
It doesn't make sense!
In this case, Shen Yi only has two possibilities when he thinks about it.
One is that either the city still has a powerful guardian force that he doesn't know to fight against such a turbulent sea of insects. The second is that the number of worm seas in the mission world is exaggerated. As for why it is exaggerated rather than copied from the truth, it is likely that the adventurers in the quest world also get bonuses in some aspects. For example, the Urban Guardian can no longer strengthen itself and cannot buy resources after leaving the adventurer sequence, while it is said that the five-difficulty world can buy warships that cannot be taken out at a very cheap price.
In other words, the five-difficulty world is likely to be more than just a simulated version, but also an enlarged version.
As for why, which one it is, or both, Shen Yi can't give an answer.
"Zeus, record the picture. "Anyway, let's record what you see. It was a rare opportunity to observe the Zerg in a non-war situation, and Shen Yi did not want to miss it.
For some reason, most of these zergs are very quiet.
They lay dormant in their own land, motionless, as if asleep, occasionally turning over, and the other insects will do the same, and a tidal wave rolls off into the distance.
Shen Yi knew that this was a manifestation of the entire thinking of the Zerg being controlled by individuals, which made their synchronization rate no weaker than that of the machine soldiers.
"It must be nice to have them perform a military parade. Zeus muttered as he filmed, "They didn't seem to notice us coming in." ”
"It's not so much that I didn't notice it, but that I didn't care. Shen Yi looked at a few strange giant insects floating slowly like jellyfish in the sky, countless tentacles hanging down from all around, emitting biological pulses that were invisible to the naked eye, they looked very similar to the host in the interstellar world, and it could even be said that it was the most Zerg Clan.
There is this kind of thing, if you want to say that you didn't find him, Shen Yi doesn't believe it, even if he hasn't been to the five difficulties, he has heard that this kind of jellyfish-like Zerg is indeed a Zerg host-like existence, with a powerful reconnaissance function, and all invisible abilities are hidden in front of them.
The only difference is that they are mere scout creatures and do not serve any other purpose, they cannot be used as transport planes, and they do not have to have enough jellyfish to create enough worms.
"That's a pity, I thought you'd be drowned in the sea of worms as soon as you entered. "Zeus had a terrible mentality of fearing that the world would not be chaotic.
Shen Yi shook his head: "Obviously, this is not the case, these zergs have a clear sense of territory, as long as we don't enter the other party's territory, the other party will not actually take the initiative to attack us." In this respect, the aggression of the Zerg is actually not as high as we think. Of course, it is also possible that I think that I am a human being, and there is too little meat to pay attention to. ”
"The problem is that if you want to see the Juggernauts, you have to enter their territory. ”
"Sargeras will help me with this...... If he cherishes his treasure enough. ”
But he may not be able to rush to the front of the master. Zeus looked at the Zerg brood in the distance and said. If it was not clear about the strength of the Zerg before, then after seeing the Zerg brood, Zeus already understood that the strength of the Zerg was far beyond imagination, and the Burning Legion might not be able to pass just the brood.
Every brood is a powerful demon god!
"There's no need to rush over. As long as Sargeras comes down, it will be a challenge from the top to the bottom. With the dignity of the master, he will definitely not accept such a provocation, and there will definitely be a good lesson for this guy who wants to subvert its position. So we just have to wait here. ”
"Turns out you've planned everything a long time ago. ”
"There is no such thing as a long time ago, but only gradually sorted out in the course of a battle. Shen Yi said with a smile.
He closed his eyes suddenly, as if sensing something.
Then he opened his eyes and said happily: "It's done, everything is in hand, Sargeras sacrificed his soul in order to stop me, damn it, I didn't expect him to have this hand, I have to make some preparations, otherwise I won't be able to run away after a while!"
Just as Shen Yi was thinking, some points of light suddenly appeared on Shen Yi's body, and Shen Yi's whole body suddenly slammed into a shock, just like a crippled soul returning to him, his spirit was shocked, and his feelings were also broadened.
That is when the soul fragments produced by the dead body are returned to the final body, making it a manifestation of the true essence.
At this time, Shen Yi's Void Pill mirror avatar function can be said to have all disappeared, and the remaining time does not exist, only the real body remains here, although this body itself does not use too many abilities, but the other clones still greatly affect his bloodline and merger/body by using abilities such as the Heavenly Demon Combination/Body.
Just when Shen Yi was about to open the space to see the attributes of artifacts such as the Dark Boiler, suddenly a large swarm of insects under the mountain burst out at the same time.
They let out a violent roar at the mountain peaks together, and at the same time, the flying insects in the distance also rushed towards Shen Yi, and even the huge Zerg mother nest was rowed to the length of thousands of giant oars, looking at Shen Yi slowly and quickly.
",!!, let's go!" Shen Yi shouted, turned his head and ran.
Zeus followed behind and took pictures while running: "Didn't you say that they have a strong sense of territory and don't take the initiative to hunt us down?"
"I was wrong, they thought I was incomplete before, damn it, these guys seem to be able to sense my body energy, and they even know picky eaters and stocking, and their IQ is higher than we thought!" Shen Yi shouted as he ran, and quickly rushed down the mountain peak, running towards the plain in the distance.
A large cloud of dust and smoke had already been lifted from the rear, and countless Zerg were pouring in, and the spectacular scene of thousands of troops and horses galloping on the earth was roaring, and the earth trembled in the roar, and even the air was filled with the breath of rage and slaughter in an instant.
Shen Yi didn't expect these guys to change so quickly from extremely static to extremely dynamic state, but in the blink of an eye, the Zerg tsunami swept the heavens and the earth.
"Damn!" Shen Yi scolded, looking at the jellyfish in the sky, Shen Yi knew that it was impossible to count on the swift wind step.
Zeus shouted angrily, "I knew it was going to be like this! I knew it was going to be like this! Look at these guys, maybe we were dead before we saw the Juggernaut!"
"Shut up Zeus!" Shen Yi glanced around, the huge light gate in the distance was still there, and he rushed towards the light gate with a sharp slam of his foot.
"What are you trying to do, the Zerg are chasing us!" Zeus shouted.
"Wait for Sargeras, he will definitely come down!" Due to the thirty-five layers of dead running, Shen Yi didn't know how Sargeras decided later, whether he would come down or when?
But he knew that if he wanted to see what he wanted, he had to rely on the power of Sargeras.
At this moment, he rushed to the light gate desperately.
Standing in front of the door, he looked back and saw that the sea of Zerg was sweeping in at a rapid pace, and it would not be long before it rushed over and tore him to pieces.
"Oh God, O Supreme Council, O Skynet, I'm going to be eaten!" Zeus was already so frightened that he began to babble nonsense.
"You don't have to worry so much, you're a machine, they won't eat you!"
"Are you sure?" said Zeus.
"Of course, but I'm not sure if they'll tear you to shreds by the way, you know there's a difference between destroying and eating, and not eating you doesn't mean they won't kill you. ”
“......”
"So you'd better lie on the ground and play dead right now. ”
"Aren't you going to take me back? I think it's safer in space, I mean, if you don't die, you have a way to stay immortal, right?"
"Shut up, I won't take you back, because I need you to record me, don't worry, as long as the chip is not destroyed and the body is gone, I can still build another one for you. Lie down, they're coming!" Shen Yi said angrily, the insect tide in the distance was getting closer and closer.
Zeus quickly lay down, and while that might have put it through a bad stampede, it was much better than being dismembered for getting in the way.
Shen Yi stared at those insects and paid attention to the movement of the light gate.
Just as the Zerg was approaching, Shen Yi shouted: "Wind Step!"
The figure had disappeared in an instant.
Under the influence of the Sky Jellyfish Scout, the stealth of the Wind Step could not avoid the attack of the Zerg, and the next moment, a Wind Green Mantis had taken the lead in rushing towards Shen Yi.
Shen Yi took a wrong step and turned around to avoid the green mantis, but he didn't fight back.
The wind step can be discovered, but it doesn't mean that it will lose its effect, as long as you don't fight back, the stealth state still exists, but you can't fool the other party's eyes.
In the next moment, more wind and green mantis have rushed up, these fast guys will always be the vanguard of the Zerg, just like a puppy in the interstellar, quickly pounced, frantically bitten, numerous and fierce, in fact, most of the Zerg that Shen Yi saw were based on these green mantises.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi suddenly had a third reason for the huge number of Zerg in his mind.
That is, when he analyzed the strength of the Zerg in the past, he actually subconsciously used that kind of sickle thunder beast as the judgment standard, but in fact, there are more of these mid-level and low-level insects in the Zerg. When quality decreases, quantity naturally increases.
Thinking about it, Shen Yi's movements were not slow, he quickly walked through the wind and green mantis, just dodging, but resolutely not fighting back.
Brush!
A blue light swept across his chest, drawing a blood mark in front of Shen Yi, and a little blood appeared and disappeared in the air.
Shen Yi hurriedly retreated, still not leaving the light gate for half a step.
More Zerg are rushing up, the black and oppressive flying dragon in the sky has swooped down with a roar, opening its bloody mouth at Shen Yi, and more insects are flying over Shen Yi, looking at the posture, it can directly use the body pile to kill Shen Yi!
Just when the insect swarm was about to completely submerge Shen Yi, a large area of light suddenly bloomed at the light gate.
An undead battleship made of bones was the first to burst out of the door, and as soon as half of the hull of the ship rushed out of the light gate, it crashed into the swooping group of dragons.
In the midst of a boom, an unlucky wyvern was directly pierced by the huge head of the bow of the ghost ship, and the ghost ship was still sailing, so the bow stabbed and continued to move forward, crushing all the way, like a kebab, several wyverns in a row before stopping in the air.
Sargeras's terrifying roar could be heard from the ship: "Damn, what's going on, why are these bugs blocking the door!?"
Even if he entered the Worm Hell for the sake of the Dark Boiler, Sargeras did not want to go to war directly with the Juggernaut. He knew that the Zerg generally had their own territory and would not easily run around, but he didn't expect that as soon as he entered, he would encounter a wave of insects.
It's a pity that he wanted to express his kindness, but the angry Zerg was unwilling to give him this opportunity again, and the blood made all the Zerg go berserk, and they launched an attack on the ghost ship.
In contrast, Shen Yi, who had never fought back, was let go.
He stood incognito under the ghost ship, watching the slaughter unfolding above his head, and let out a long exhale, glancing at Zeus, who was lying on the ground and enduring the steps of thousands of zergs.
Zeus mouth-shaped, "You shameless fellow!"
Shen Yi spread his hands and said that he was innocent.
Although the Burning Legion has the ability to break the shadow, most of them are active abilities, not like the eternal existence of the Zerg scouts, and the sudden blow made them completely unaware that Shen Yi was under the ghost ship, so they did not use the ability to break the concealment.
Sargeras's roar echoed from above: "Bastard, kill all these bugs, let's rush out!"
Ray after ray of energy emanated from the ghost ship, and the Burning Legion had already started a bloody battle with the Zerg.
After the initial raid, as the number of people entering the Burning Legion continued to increase, and a group of powerful big bosses attacked, the besieging Zerg continued to be killed and wounded, and a thick corpse was accumulated in the blink of an eye.
Zeus was almost completely buried by the corpse, which allowed it to avoid the fate of being trampled, but this guy finally knew how to carry out Shen Yi's order, a small camera squeezed out of the crack between the corpses, constantly recording everything around, and continued to rise as the mountain of corpses rose, and the body remained below freely.
Shen Yi cautiously followed the ghost ship all the way, maintaining a posture of looking left and right under the ship.
Some of the demons of the Burning Legion were fighting right around him, unaware of his existence.
When the time of the Wind Walk was almost up, Shen Yi lay down on the ground, and quickly used the stealth again at the moment when the stealth disappeared - the benefits of advanced skills, the stealth time and cooldown time of the Wind Walk were the same, and the time for Shen Yi to appear was almost half a second.
Occasionally, demons would notice that something seemed to appear and disappear below, but the bloody and brutal battle quickly drew their attention.
The Zerg still attacks Shen Yi from time to time, and Shen Yi insists on the posture of a saint who can't fight back and scold and doesn't return the mouth, no matter how insulted you are, I will stand still.
The tens of thousands of large-scale battles were tragic, spectacular, bloody, and impassioned, but unfortunately none of this had anything to do with Shen Yi.
He was like a wandering ghost observer, silently waiting, observing.
The Zerg Brood in the distance has been in battle with Sargeras, the huge Zerg Brood has a thousand hands and thousands of feet, but it is not only capable of paddling, almost every giant foot is like a huge dragon claw, slapping into the air to stir up one cloud of air vortex after another. The most surprising thing is that this big guy is in the air, but it is like stepping on land, the body is huge but agile like a snake, and from time to time it will suddenly rise, and thousands of giant feet will suddenly stretch out, and smash it with a bang, and it will be a storm pulled out.
Seeing this, Shen Yi finally understood, no wonder the Zerg had no skills.
The fuck doesn't need skills.
The thousand-hand attack itself is an invincible thousand-fold normal damage attack, what skills do you need?
As for the snake-like coiling, it is an ability that ordinary warships do not have, if it is a battleship against the brood, then it must not be allowed to get close, otherwise the terrifying impact alone is enough to destroy the battleship.
As for the small zergs that burst out of the brood from time to time, they were like warplanes in a battleship, flying in the sky, roaring, and rushing towards the invaders one after another.
Some of the smaller flying insects even exploded directly after crashing into the target.
Self-exploding flying insects!
Unlike the interstellar, the self-detonating flying insects here have no restrictions on the sky and the ground, no matter what it is, as long as they want to collide, they can collide, and the brood seems to love to do the most when fighting.
said that he had no skills, but looking at this combat method, he had both distance and close combat plus summoning.
Even with the strength of Sargeras, he couldn't quickly take down this brood, but fortunately, Akmund and Kil'Gardan also followed together, and the three demon gods shot together, hitting one fierce and sharp attack after another, although the zerg brood was strong, it couldn't withstand it after all, and kept screaming in the opponent's powerful and wild blows.
Two tentacles waved, sending out Dao biological pulses, notifying the arrival of the great Zerg Domination invader.
"Don't get in love, hurry up and find that bastard!" Sargeras yelled.
He fights happily himself, but asks others not to fight.
Fortunately, a group of demons of the Burning Legion have finally woken up and played stealth skills one after another. In fact, they didn't think that Shen Yi would hide in the tide of war at this time, the problem was that Sargeras asked them to find it, and they had to find it, as for how to find it...... What else can be done besides letting go of the hidden?
By mistake, a concealment breaking skill happened to play a role beside Shen Yi, Shen Yi's figure appeared, and the Ereda wizard looked at Shen Yi who suddenly appeared beside him in surprise, first stunned, and then screamed: "He's ...... here"
Before he could speak, Shen Yi had already twisted his neck.
It's a pity that the cooldown time of Swift Wind Walk has not yet arrived, and he can't immediately return to stealth, which is completely exposed.
In the sky, Sargeras looked at Shen Yi in shock, he couldn't believe that Shen Yi, this bastard, was actually right under his nose.
Only then did he realize why a large number of Zerg would rush over as soon as he entered the Light Gate.
This damn guy!
Shen Yi looked up and waved his hand: "Hey, okay!"
"Die!" Sargeras was about to rush down.
It's a pity that he wanted to rush, but the Zerg brood didn't give him a chance, and a serpentine coil rolled towards Sargeras, and at the same time bit down fiercely.
"Little brood, you also deserve to fight me, die!" Sargeras roared and punched the brood's fangs, and the huge air explosion exploded directly in the brood's mouth, causing the brood to wail, and at the same time, he waved his arms and sacrificed his soul again, blocking Shen Yi's ability to escape, and then shouted: "Catch him!"
Manolos, Naozu, Tiktios and other demon gods have rushed towards Shen Yi one after another.
"You're really willing. Shen Yi sighed helplessly, in order to catch himself, the two divine souls were gone.
Without saying much, Shen Yi turned his head and ran, rushing straight to the insect tide.
Call!
A terrifying roar exploded in the insect tide, and countless insects rushed towards Shen Yi.
"Mirror clone!" Shen Yi used the mirror clone again, the person had been divided into five, and at the same time rushed in five directions, of course, this time it was the doppelganger of the Void Pill, which was not as strong as before.
Manolos and the others didn't know which one to chase for a while, those insects didn't care, Shen Yi and they wanted to kill, and they didn't let go of these demon gods who rushed down, and they pounced one after another, completely drowning the demon gods.
Shen Yi kept walking through the swarm, he had no intention of killing, concentrating on dodging, to the extreme of his dexterous ability.
When the invisibility time of the Wind Walk came again, Shen Yi quickly entered invisibility and turned his head and rushed towards the Burning Legion.
Only this time, it wasn't so easy for him.
A large number of Burning Legion demons released all kinds of hidden concealments from time to time, never giving Shen Yi a chance.
"Okay, okay, even if you are ruthless, everyone is here to consume, see who can hold up who!" Shen Yi said helplessly, but he couldn't help but secretly curse in his heart for how the master came so slowly.
Seeing that one of the broods had been killed by Sargeras, three more broods came from other directions, just entangled the three of them, but there was no movement from the master.
In the raging insect tide, Shen Yi struggled hard, only feeling that he was like a small boat in the ocean, which could capsize anytime and anywhere. If it weren't for the demons of the Burning Legion who attracted most of the Zerg's attacks, he might have been completely planted here in the next second.
At this moment, a strange feeling suddenly appeared in Shen Yi's heart, as if something swept through his mind and peeked into his heart.
Shen Yi was shocked in his heart, this feeling he had only felt in Professor X and the Sith Great. The former is a greeting of light, the latter is an invasion of darkness.
And the feeling at this moment is a powerful oppression, the invisible coercion was just an inadvertent sweep at first, and then it suddenly soared, almost instantly suppressing Shen Yi's entire mind, and he even lost the ability to think.
At that moment, Shen Yi only felt as if he was facing an unshakable mountain, facing a god-like existence, and he was powerless to resist at all.
A huge feeling of horror rose from the bottom of my heart, and I even felt like I wanted to kneel down and worship.
"Lord...... Domination!" Shen Yi almost forcibly squeezed out these two words from the bottom of his heart.
It's the master, it must be it, and it can only be it!
He had always thought that the Zerg Master was a terrifying existence with a super strong flesh/body, but he didn't expect to see the Lord yet, but the first thing he felt was the Master's terrifying spiritual power that made people unable to even resist at all.
Is this still a Zerg with no IQ?
Shen Yi couldn't imagine it.
The terrifying coercion disappeared at once, and Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, countless Zerg mother-nests in the distance suddenly appeared, as if they had passed through a wormhole in time and space, and they appeared directly on this battlefield without even flying.
Hundreds of broods, the largest of which are three or four thousand meters long, and the smallest of which are hundreds of meters, swim in the air, covering the entire canopy.
And among the hundreds of broods, there is a super huge 10,000-meter-long giant Zerg giant brood, countless giant feet scribbled in the air, causing ripples in the air.
A majestic and solemn voice sounded in everyone's hearts: "You have violated my realm, Sargeras, are you trying to challenge me?"
"Oh...... Don't ......" Sargeras's face also showed horror: "Great Juggernaut, I am only here to ......"
"It doesn't matter what you're here for, it's important that you killed my child...... Kill them all!"
The voice that sounded in everyone's hearts quietly faded away, and was replaced by the violent howls of countless zergs, and hundreds of zerg broods rushed down at the same time.
Only Shen Yi looked at the only immovable super giant brood in the sky in a daze.
His face changed, and he suddenly shook his head: "No, no, this can't be done!"
No one knew what he meant by this, but the next moment, he suddenly took out a pill and swallowed it, and then flew into the sky, actually heading straight towards the Sky Mother Hive!
