Chapter Twenty-Six: White-Hot Days
Wu Senyan led the team to break into the depths of the insect nest.
There are no one-horned tentacles, instead a crowded jungle of flesh.
To be precise, there are huge hatcheries that look a little like mature rice.
Their stems are more than five meters in diameter, their branches and leaves are intertwined, and the roots at the bottom are connected to the fungus blanket on the ground of the hive, which has a more majestic dark green spiritual energy than what has been seen before, which is obviously the natural energy of the surface jungle being swallowed.
Worms that emerge from the ground destroy the flora and fauna in and out of the valley in a short period of time, and then transfer all the energy they have plundered back to the hive.
The function of the stalk is to convert this natural energy into special energy that can be digested by insects, and finally poured into the upper part of the "rice ear", to be more precise, the many lantern-like fruits hanging from the top of the "rice ear", and quickly ripen them.
It's just that the shells of these "fruits" may be a little different from what they imagined, and the surface is covered with strange patterns made of rotten flesh and blood, not to mention, there are countless insects wriggling in them, releasing terrifying red light from time to time.
For the Ember Apostles, the hive is also preparing to hatch high-end combat power to deal with it.
"Keep the team going, with ranged attack capabilities, try to destroy these eggs, starting with the one that stops in front of us!"
Looking at the many insect eggs hanging in the air in front of him, Wu Senyan reminded the team members behind him loudly.
He knew that if these insect eggs were not destroyed in time, they would soon give birth to fierce insect beasts that had never been seen before, completely sealing their back path.
But now Wu Senyan can't care so much, although there are a lot of ember apostles in the team, but if these people are scattered, it is a predictable outcome to be broken by each one, and he can only concentrate on continuing to break through!
Yu Zhen raised his hand and ripped open a scroll, and several psionic beams shot out from it, easily penetrating the insect eggs above his head, looking at the alien insect larvae that fell with the dark viscous liquid inside, he only felt disgusted.
Subconsciously want to summon psionic barriers to prevent them from falling on you.
However, at the same time as Yu Zhen made his move, the vertical pupils suspended in front of her forehead suddenly trembled, which was a transcendent ability she had recently acquired, which could enhance her perception of her surroundings.
A change at this point means danger is coming!
But before Yu Zhen could open his mouth to remind the others, a figure passed in the darkness on the right side in the blink of an eye, only to hear a scream, and an Ember Apostle walking at the back of the team rose into the air.
The dark red blood hung on the fungus blanket, and was swallowed up in an instant.
The pale soles of the feet with green tendons on the surface stepped on the fungus blanket, only touching the ground on the toes, the position of the heels was somewhat atrophied compared to the normal state, and the legs above were completely mutated into the hind legs of locusts.
A man in a tattered uniform stood in front of the hatchery, his left arm covered with jagged barbs carrying the already breathing Ember Apostle, his fingers turning into straws, absorbing the latter's energy to complete further mutations in his body.
The monster's hideous face twitched, its right arm swelling into a bloated sarcoma, with a shield embedded in it, opening a light blue psionic barrier as it flicked its arm.
Wu Senyan's face was uncontrollably painful.
The shield he recognized as the equipment of one of the members of the team who had previously escorted the wanted criminal, who had been kidnapped by the insects and was still missing......
Previously, a wanted criminal turned into a strange insect was found in the insect nest above Shanqing City, and the origin of this guy in front of him is self-evident.
The Hive is even able to transform the Ember Apostles and use their equipment that failed to reclaim the Torch space!
"Humanoid insects, it seems that the worm nest was specially prepared for us, the speed just now is extraordinary, it seems that the worm nest has also begun to use the means of pressing the bottom of the box, which is enough to prove that our direction is correct, rush over, the front is the core of the worm nest!"
Gritting his teeth and holding back the grief in his heart, Wu Senyan tightened his brows and went straight to the strange insect.
Sensing the approach of the Ember Apostles, the humanoid suddenly raised its head, its mouth opening at an alarming angle, making a piercing noise.
This was followed by violent tremors in the surrounding hatcheries.
The eggs that were still in a gestation state burst one after another, and the insects in them fell with the slime.
They are of all sizes, and their appearance is not as sloppy as the low-level insects they have encountered before, each with mutated limbs and a variety of grotesque and disgusting organs.
Newly hatched alien larvae are undoubtedly vulnerable.
However, almost at the same time as they landed, a large number of tentacles extended from the fungus blanket and pierced their bodies, frantically injecting energy into them, and a deep purple spiritual energy wave erupted from the depths of the hive at this moment.
Wu Senyan and the others who were advancing only saw dozens of dark purple fluorescences flying out of the depths of the insect nest, which looked like some kind of small flying insects, and they landed directly on the trunk of the larvae of the insects.
In the next second, a violent roar echoed through the dark cavern.
The skin and flesh swelled like a blow, and the exoskeleton-like insect beetles were reinforcing and expanding every second, and all kinds of strange limb mutations appeared.
The leader is still the humanoid insect, but at this time, it has mutated to a higher level in the infusion of fungus blanket energy, its body has expanded to more than three meters high, not to mention, and many arms have grown all over its waist.
It was half-bowed, its thick arms hanging to the ground, and its towering spine joints grew into narrow spines, which trembled with its roar.
To its right, a giant beetle with a body length of more than ten meters shook its two sickle-like forelimbs, whistling the wind.
On the left is a collection of several praying mantis and grasshoppers, looking unusually agile.
Huge mosquitoes fluttered overhead, their long narrow tentacles swinging in all directions, eager to suck the flesh.
In just a few minutes, a terrifying defense line composed of alien insect swarms suddenly appeared in the space that was already crowded by many hatching rooms!
What's even more troublesome is that in order to speed up the progress, Wu Senyan and the others will almost only deal with the eggs in the nearby area, which causes those high-order insects further away to have enough time to complete the mutation.
This slowed down the Ember Apostles slightly, and they were immediately surrounded by insects.
The cracking of the eggs was still heard from time to time in the low roar of the many insects, the twisted silhouettes in the darkness were still increasing, the energy on the fungus blanket was rushing, and the encirclement against them was still reinforced.
The sudden crisis surprised many people in the team, they didn't expect the hive to hatch such a terrifying army in such a short period of time.
In fact, by this time, several people who knew the inside story of the operation, or the experiment codenamed "Worm Mind", had already sensed that something was wrong, and the hive was not unprepared for their arrival!
Yu Zhen even thought that the insect swarm had already noticed the existence of these people and deliberately lured them here.
The master of the hive wants to take this opportunity to wipe out all the living forces of the Special Agents Bureau at once, and so many Ember Apostles will be lost in this ......
Before the sun rises tomorrow, an army of humanoid insects will be fully formed.
Not to mention that there are thousands of elite warriors in Tutai!
Humans use the worm brain to complete synaesthesia with the hive and know the approximate location of the latter.
As everyone knows, synaesthesia is mutual, and the hive is also observing humans with the help of the prisoners connected to the worm brain!
These hatcheries are specially prepared for humans, and now that the war has begun, no one can leave without distinguishing a winner or loser!
Wu Senyan, who was running, half-squinted his eyes, left his complicated thoughts behind, clasped his hands together into a hammer, jumped up in the air, and the phantom of the giant bear flashed behind him, smashing the head of a strange insect in mid-air, and when he landed, his footsteps did not stop, and he roared,
"Kill !!"
This roar was the signal for war.
Humans and alien insects, nearly a hundred ember apostles faced dozens of high-level alien insects.
With the hive as the battlefield, as soon as the battle is engaged, the battle situation will enter a white-hot state.
In terms of individual abilities alone, the human side is on average inferior to these strange-shaped alien insects, but as Ember Apostles, everyone present has a lot of extraordinary props and equipment with special effects in their hands.
The magic light and restless psionic energy produced various colors of spiritual energy flickered non-stop, and the weapons and equipment also showed their magical powers.
The insects rely on the geographical advantage, there is a fungus blanket by their side, they don't care about the injury at all, as long as they don't die on the spot, the fungus blanket will continue to repair their injuries.
Of course, these insects who have completely entered a state of rage will not think about recovering from their injuries at all.
They received only one command.
Fight to the death!
