Chapter 295: Worm Hive
Puff puff......
Zhang Chen had a premonition that the plan for the raid had been disrupted, and since he had decided, there was no need to keep his hand, so he waved his right fist while wearing the dragon elephant. With a series of muffled sounds, several demon beetles that had inadvertently broken into the cave were killed.
The many demon beetles on the cliff wall were unaware and still climbed up quickly. However, with a vague roar, the bugs began to riot.
Hiss......
The shrill cries continued, and there were even many demon beetles approaching the cave.
After Zhang Chen killed the giant insect that stood in his way, he arrived at the entrance of the cave unimpeded, and was not surprised to see the situation outside. Because he knew that in the canyon, the sudden disappearance of the life fluctuation of the demon beetle could not be hidden from the mother worm.
The mother worm is the leader of the entire swarm and has many magical abilities. Born with great wisdom, with strong spiritual power. Able to establish a special bond with the bugs that they reproduce.
Weakens as distance until it is not sensible! It is impossible not to notice it in such a close place to the canyon. I don't know why, so I will send bugs to investigate.
This intelligent female worm is cautious by nature, very cunning and difficult!
"Hmph, even if you know? I'm going to be scared of you? ”
Zhang Chenyi was bold and sneered. The Eternal Night Divine Sword in his hand swiped back a few times, and the sharp sword qi hit the surrounding cave walls vertically and horizontally, and a large number of broken stones fell, and soon the not spacious corridor was directly blocked.
At the same time, he had already summoned the golden eagle to jump up, and then approached a cliff wall and ascended, and the internal force in his body poured into the Eternal Night Divine Sword and swung continuously, and one after another more powerful golden sword qi exploded and slashed.
Those demon beetles surging in the direction of the cave were cut off their heads when they touched the sword qi. The heavy carapace on his body was almost like a piece of paper. Moreover, the sword qi was undiminished, smashing the heads of several insects one after another.
The second-order demon beetles were destroyed by the sword qi full of ice aura that invaded their brain tissue, killing them instantly, and they were swept away before their corpses could fall.
The system elf's excited prompt sound also sounded.
[Hee-hee, master, kill the second-order demon beetle, get five points of merit, and a bronze treasure chest. Master, you have slain another second-order demon beetle. The treasure chest is automatically opened, there are a few materials, and the insect crystal transforms into life essence ......]
One sword qi after another killed more than a dozen demon beetles, and the elves were overjoyed. During this time, she drank a lot of life essence, and she became a lot stronger. This ugly big insect is not good-looking, but it is a treasure!
"In order to become stronger, resources are indispensable, and you can only die and not die." Zhang Chen laughed in his mind. The divine sword swung and the sword qi soared.
One after another, the cold sword qi pierced the void, causing a violent roar in the air.
With the blessing of the ancient artifact of the Eternal Night Divine Sword, he could send out sword qi to kill and injure enemies even when he had not cultivated his internal strength. And the internal force that instilled the purity actively activated the artifact, and the power of the sword qi skyrocketed tenfold.
The power was not bad even compared to the sword qi slash cast by those seventh-order grandmasters, and the distance was even farther, and the demon beetles on the wall fell one by one.
Moreover, these golden sword qi seemed to have eyes, and they actually bent. Automatically avoid those delays and accurately hit the head of the Beetle.
This is the blessing of the fifth-order combat talent!
Within eighteen meters of Zhang Chen's own center, as long as he attacks, it is like having his own detector, accurately hitting the target, which seems to be a kind of instinct!
Originally, he thought that the distance of close combat was at most five or six meters, but Zhang Chen had always been a little puzzled. Now that he is really fighting with the Excalibur, he suddenly realized it in an instant. It turns out that the warrior's sword qi slash will also inherit the characteristics of the combat talent.
What is shown is that the sword qi will bend as if it has eyes. Automatically lock onto enemies to be exact, and won't collapse until they run out of energy!
The reason why Zhang Chen used the Eternal Night Divine Sword instead of the Iron-Blooded Battle Axe. It was really in mid-air, and there were many demon beetles on the cliffs on both sides. It's a better choice to fight with an artifact with a sharp attack.
He constantly swung his sword at the back of the golden eagle, and the angle was extremely tricky, not to mention the dense demon beetles, even an evolutionary could not dodge.
One after another, the golden sword qi shot out, and wherever it passed, the giant insect's head was slashed open, and even if the limbs were still moving, they were already dead.
Large swaths of insects were killed, and green light swept away the corpses like chains. There are too many of them, and the system can't come on its own, so the elves come to help.
Zhang Chen felt that the internal force in his body had been depleted, drank a bottle of evolution essence, and took out a mutated fire source fruit, wielding the divine sword while replenishing and digesting.
The golden eagle has long been instructed to gradually go up and back and forth left and right in a regular manner. One after another, the sword qi killed rows of demon beetles with the momentum of no return.
It's a long story, but the speed is very fast, and in a short time, a large number of demon beetles on the cliff wall have been killed, and a large area of cliffs stained with green blood is vacated.
[Master, you slow down, the little spirit doesn't have time to cast a spell to assist in collecting] The system elf didn't bother to broadcast, babbling and shouting.
The little thing said so, but the little magic kept throwing it out. A steady stream of life energy converges and is absorbed by it to form a chain entanglement.
Zhang Chen turned a deaf ear, and swung the divine sword vigorously as if plowing the ground to release sword qi. The beetles were killed before they had a chance to roar.
Green blood splattered, and the black-brown cliff walls were soaked.
Hiss......
The demon beetles densely packed on both sides of the cliffs stopped climbing, locked onto the golden eagle and roared to the sky. There were even quite a few magic beetles that were close to the golden eagle and jumped in the air desperately, trying to pounce on the body of the bird of prey and bite it.
It's a pity that Zhang Chen had already taken this into account and ordered the golden eagle to keep a distance. And this fifth-order bird of prey is not a showmanship.
Not only can you easily dodge, but sometimes you can directly grab it with both claws. And the poor worms who pounced on it had to fall off the cliff.
At a height of one or two thousand meters, you don't have to think about the fate of falling.
"Hee-hee, hee-hee, I'll chop me." No matter how fast the golden eagle moved, Zhang Chen's volley steps that he had practiced since he was a child were like opening a plug-in, standing tightly on Ying's back without moving, constantly waving the divine sword.
This magical footwork simply defies the laws of physics!
The golden sword qi was vertical and horizontal, and the demon beetles fell in pieces.
As the golden eagle continued to fly high and move left and right, the demon beetles on the cliff wall were emptied. In less than a minute or two, two or three thousand giant insects were killed.
However, Zhang Chen's wreaking did not last long! Just as he was about to slash and slash, the vague roar below came again.
The dense demon beetles that were originally lying on the cliff wall suddenly rushed down and jumped downwards in unison, far faster than when climbing.
"Oh, evil animal, where are you going?" After Zhang Chen noticed this change, he chose to pursue decisively without any hesitation and ordered the golden eagle to speed up.
Not long after the outbreak of the end times, there was obviously no flying insect like the Demon Armor Mantis! Even if there is a powerful demon insect guard below, it will not leave the hive.
If you don't chase and kill at this time, when will you wait?
Tweeted......
After receiving the master's order, the golden eagle fluttered its wings and sank violently. Zhang Chen had the protection of the natural enchantment, and he didn't care about the whistling wind in his ears, and when he saw the dense number of demon beetles, he kept wielding the divine sword.
One after another, the golden sword qi shot wildly, sticking to the cliff wall like cutting light. The beetles that fled to the bottom of the cliff were easily killed.
The demon beetle did not pause in the slightest, nor was it afraid of death, and charged downward one by one.
Zhang Chen rode the golden eagle in pursuit of him, slashing and killing unscrupulously. Wherever there are many demon beetles, they will fly to and burst out with terrifying sword energy.
A few minutes later!
One or two kilometers of cliffs seem to have become a death moat. Tens of thousands of demon beetles were killed, and at most half of them escaped to the bottom of the cliff.
And the death of these giant bugs provided Zhang Chen with a lot of resources. All the way up the mountain, down to the bottom, less than 200 meters.
He could see what was going on below!
It's not a cliff-bottom world, but there are a lot of ancient trees growing here. Only the canopy that should have been lush was gnawed and only the branches remained. Most of them are bare, with only a few tender green shoots.
In an area near the mountain, a large black nest towers. Visually at least the size of a few football fields, I don't know how the bugs built it, and I don't know what material has a metallic sheen.
This is the hive!
It is also the main body of the Zerg mother.
"It's a lot bigger than the hive I've ever remembered." On the back of the golden eagle, Zhang Chen saw this nest at a glance and couldn't help muttering to himself.
Not to mention that it was bigger than the hive that he led the team to break in his previous life. It was several times larger than any of the hives he knew.
The size of the hive means the strength of the female worm of the group, and the number of magic beetles that reproduce each time. Even with its own strength, the evolutionary potential will be stronger.
The location of this hive at the bottom of the cliff also shows the intelligence of the mother. The number of demon beetles guarding the base camp is large and strong.
The Zerg are an extremely adaptable race, even more amazing than zombies. And it eats everything, using a variety of vegetation to form a special nutrient solution. If there is a nest of worms, a small area can feed a lot of bugs.
At this time, around this giant hive was a dense gathering of magic beetles. Almost all of them lock on to the golden eagle in the air, letting out a warning roar.
The insects are crowded together, densely packed, and there is almost no place to stay. The black-pressed insect tide followed the canyon to the narrow end in the distance.
That's a lot, I'm afraid it's tens of thousands!
Except for the more than 10,000 second-order demon beetles that escaped back before, the others were almost at least tank-like giant insects, which meant that they were at least third-order.
Among them, there are many magic beetles like trucks and houses, and there are even a group of special giant insects like second-order magic beetles around the brood.
There were ten of them, of the same species, and they were covered in thicker carapaces, with larger heads, sharp mouths like two rows of rubbing knives, six claws like spears, and the two largest feet like machetes.
It's full of violence from beginning to end, as if it was born to fight.
Not as if, but as if!
The Demon Beetle Guard, which belongs to the female insect's personal guard.
This is specially born to protect the mother worm, and it never leaves the 100-meter range of the mother nest. Each one of them is at least a sixth-order powerful demon beetle. It is said that it grows as the mother worm ascends and has extremely strong combat effectiveness.
At the same level, the kind of house-like sixth-order demon beetle was not an opponent at all, and was even killed in seconds, just like the best among human evolutionaries.
This special type of demon beetle is very difficult to cultivate, and according to the information provided by the mysterious merchant, it takes the life source of the mother worm to cultivate, and the number is extremely rare.
Unexpectedly, I met ten heads here, and this is definitely not all, there are in the hive, it will definitely be stronger, I can't imagine it.
Zhang Chen's eyelids jumped wildly, it was not easy to deal with so many demon insect guards. However, that's not all, the most powerful mother worm is even more difficult to deal with!
It's not like in movies and television, the female worm is bloated and has no combat effectiveness. In reality, the female worm is the most powerful in the herd and extremely combative.
Otherwise, it would not be able to deter ordinary zergs at all!
Hiss......
The bottom of the cliff was densely packed with demon beetles, holding their heads high and roaring. It was not so messy, but it was arranged in an orderly manner.
The second-order demon beetle is in the outermost part, and the third-order is close to it, and the closer to the hive, the higher the rank. And there are special passages where powerful bugs can pass through at any time.
Don't underestimate the wisdom of the insects, otherwise you will suffer a big loss!
Zhang Chen knew better than anyone else the terrifying nature of these otherworldly demon insects, so he didn't act rashly. Instead, he carefully observed the specific situation below in the air, drinking the essence of life and eating the fire source fruit to restore his own consumption.
Before the big battle, it's customary to check the contents of your backpack! Ignoring the riot of the bugs below, they roared and continued to prepare for the big battle.
Moreover, the demon beetle below is waiting for work at ease and occupies a great advantage. This is not conducive to the big war, and it is necessary to first thwart the opponent's spirit.
The golden eagle received the order, swooped to the other end of the canyon and then quickly descended, the dense swarm of insects below roaring and running. Several sixth-order giant tank worms rushed to the front like tanks.
Many centipedes and scorpion-like magic beetles spit venom to attack.
Unfortunately, when the golden eagle was more than 20 meters away from the bottom, it suddenly rose again, and gradually flew back to a height of more than 200 meters, and when the insects below just stopped, its wings fluttered and flew to the other side and dived downward.
The large swarm of insects at the bottom of the canyon was in a hurry again, and moved closer to that side.
The golden eagle braked halfway again, and then flew high again, not giving the other party time to rest, and then flew to the other side and swooped down to cause the opponent to surge.
Back and forth, over and over ten times!
A large number of demon beetles below roared again and again, exhausted and exhausted, and had already been chaotic. However, the mother worm is intelligent, and the swarm soon quiets down. Even if the golden eagle flew back and forth a few times, there were no insects running with it.
It's just that there is Zhang Chen on the back of the golden eagle, and he has received a new order. The insects that swooped down to the bottom of the cliff did not move, and this time it was true, and it directly caught several demon beetles, including a fourth-order one.
Soar again before coming through the midst of those incredibly bouncing bugs. Then he flew to the other side, swooped down and killed a few bugs.
Such a rampant and arrogant behavior made the mother worm roar again and again after a few times.
Hiss......
There was another roar, and the swarm of beetles rioted.
The golden eagle wanted to repeat the old trick but it didn't work, as soon as it swooped down, a group of powerful insects would rush quickly and lock on.
These are at least fifth-order demon beetles, with amazing bounce power and strong lethality. The golden eagle did not dare to get too close, so it could only quickly turn elsewhere.
And whenever the golden eagle looks for an opportunity to swoop, the demon beetles below will swell. For half an hour, I used this method to constantly test consumption.
Although the endurance of the magic beetle is amazing, it is also a creature that will run out of strength after all. The birds of prey in the low altitude feint, and these flightless demon insects suffered a lot.
An angry roar came from inside the hive!
And no one noticed that at one time the golden eagle approached the cliff at the end of the canyon. A dark shadow flickered across its back. It was Zhang Chen who found the right moment, and a shadow raid jumped onto a rock on the cliff wall.
