Chapter Twenty-Seven: Sinking into the Illusion
Only half a wheel of the sunset still hangs in the sky
In the gloomy picture presented by the screen, the fight continues.
Blood splattered, the insect's hideous limbs waved, and the sharp roar did not stop for a moment.
The Ember Apostles temporarily succeeded in suppressing the onslaught of the Insects by virtue of their numerical superiority in the first wave of engagements.
The talisman manifests a firebird, burns the shell of the alien insect, the spear, and the short knife flickering coldly, bringing a handful of yellow-green sticky insect liquid, indifferent eyes, and calm expressions, and the ember apostles who have survived the fight in the other world have shown amazing combat qualities.
Although these were only fleeting pictures, Yan Jing could still feel the determination of the Special Affairs Bureau to this incident.
However, the insects that kept pouring out in the darkness, and the hatching room behind that was still flashing red was enough to prove that the hive still had power.
These monsters have no concept of death in their minds at all, fighting with the invading enemy is the meaning of their lives, even if they are beheaded, their forelimbs are still shaking, and their standing joints are crushed, even if they are crawling, they must step forward and continue to fight.
What's more, because the scene is too chaotic, although the human side has successfully defeated the alien insects in many cases, it is not as easy as imagined to kill them on the spot, and these alien insects are receiving energy replenishment all the time as long as they stand on the fungus carpet.
This is like two boxers in the ring, one side is slightly stronger, but on the other side, someone is desperately filling him with stimulants, nutrient solutions, and even allowing him to grow an extra arm from time to time.
How to fight?
"Their physical strength, equipment and even props are all being consumed, and if they continue to fight like this, they will soon be in trouble, and they may even be captured alive!"
Miao Yingshi looked at the scene on the screen and shook his head, The people below may not be able to judge anything from Yan Jing's description, but standing at the top of this peak, he can see how huge the energy of the many giant worms inside and outside the valley is.
In a melee of this scale, unless the human side can win quickly, they can only fall into the trap of the swarm.
At this time, the hive is like a huge spider web, and the humans who rush into it are prey entangled in spider silk in the eyes of the worm girl, and when they lose all their strength in the struggle, that is when it enjoys the "food"!
As soon as he thought of this, Miao Yingshi quickly got up, a simple longbow appeared, raised his hand to blow through the breeze, and pulled out several light cyan arrows out of thin air.
"You can't do it, especially not to kill those worms!"
Yan Jing stopped Miao Yingshi's actions, knowing that the latter wanted to relieve the pressure underground by shooting worms,
"They are working so hard to give us a chance, Wu Senyan is the commander-in-chief, he doesn't ask for support, we will never do it!"
Before the operation began, a consensus had been reached between Yan Jing and Wu Senyan.
Unless Wu Senyan asked for support, no matter how bad the situation inside the hive was, Yan Jing and Miao Yingshi would not be able to do anything.
Miao Yingshi stared at the devastated mountains and forests inside and outside the valley, the anger in his eyes was unconcealed, his body froze, and it took a few seconds before he put down the longbow in his hand.
At this time, the picture on the screen began to sway from side to side, obviously Wu Senyan was observing the battlefield, and then he was heard shouting,
"It's time, Yu Zhen, Qin Zhao, execute the beheading plan!"
Humans and insects were entangled, and with Wu Senyan's order, the top combat power of about ten people on the human side quickly gathered, and the other ember apostles began to consciously give up killing the insects, and shifted more attention to the interception of the insects.
On the premise that he couldn't achieve a quick victory, the "decapitation" plan that Wu Senyan mentioned was not complicated, it was nothing more than to draw all the top combat power, so that the weaker Ember Apostles would in turn delay the second round of high-level alien insect tides.
This process is no different from having thousands of soldiers defend the platform, and the risks involved are needless to say.
If the mission fails, none of these ember apostles who were left in the depths of the hive will be able to return, which will be a major blow to the Special Affairs Bureau, and Wu Senyan ...... Well, at that time, he probably couldn't be responsible for anything.
"Everybody's coming to me!"
Looking at the wall behind him, Yu Zhen took out a gossip mirror and hung it on his chest.
When everyone gathered around, several magic seals formed one after another in both hands, and then a ball of brilliant golden spiritual energy emerged with the Bagua Mirror as the center, turning into a majestic golden beast, enveloping everyone in it, and rushing towards the deeper part of the hive.
Suspended in mid-air with everyone, that is, the head of the golden beast, looking at the insect that tried to intercept but was directly knocked away, Yu Zhen's face became more and more solemn, this is a rare escape prop that she used as a means to press the bottom of the box, but now it is used to attack.
This is also a helpless move, if they follow the way they moved forward just now, Yu Zhen is almost certain that they will encounter a large group of high-level alien insects to intercept them, not to mention the completion of the beheading plan, whether they can find out the controller of the insect swarm will be a problem.
Relying on this rare item that can only be used once, the team members forcibly broke out of the encirclement of the insects, but the scene in front of them made everyone's eyes widen.
In the imagination of Wu Senyan and others, the core of the insect hive was most likely a giant meat mass similar to the one they had seen before, and the mother worm of this giant insect hive was hiding in it.
However, the reality is completely different from what they expected, or even the complete opposite!
The fungus blanket was abruptly cut off here, the dirt and twisted insects in the hive were gone, and the hatching rooms that were more than ten meters high had disappeared completely.
The props failed, and the crowd descended from mid-air, over the fungus blanket, and stepped on the neat bricks.
The gloomy and bloody aura dissipated, and he had only seen a hellish scene, and the sudden human architecture made everyone a little uncomfortable, and Rao is Yu Zhen looked a little stunned at the moment.
The roars of the insects and the cries of the other Ember Apostles were far away, leaving only the melodious singing of songs coming from the darkness.
Suddenly, a dark blue light came up ahead.
Several stone pillars appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and in the exquisitely carved stone balls at the top, the lights flickered, and the light they projected continued to extend in this dark space, until a misty halo appeared more than ten meters away leaning against the stone wall.
An ancient building that looks like an altar is reflected.
It has a rudimentary appearance, looking like a platform made of masonry, except that at the edges stand stone slabs of various shapes at certain distances, and these stone slabs seem to have some kind of pattern printed on them.
"What the hell is going on?"
Wu Senyan looked blankly at the scene in front of him, and made a gesture to signal the others to stay on guard.
He couldn't understand why such a structure could exist in this nearly 100-meter-deep ground.
His intuition told him that this abnormal sight must hide a great danger!
The singing continued, at first vague and unrecognizable in simple syllables, but as they drew closer to the altar, the song became clearer.
Although they still couldn't hear what they were singing, Wu Senyan, a native of Shanqing City, heard the tones of some dialects from the singing, and with the sudden sense of familiarity, Wu Senyan felt a chill down his spine.
"Look! Above those stone slabs, there are ...... Is that a butterfly? ”
As the person with the strongest perception ability in the field at this time, Yu Zhen immediately noticed more than a dozen butterflies flying from the stone slab of the altar.
It is much larger than the common one, with wings spread out to nearly a meter in length.
What is that?
Yu Zhen noticed that the butterflies had landed on top of the stone slabs, constantly flapping their brightly colored wings with strange patterns.
Yu Zhen, who had only experienced the Jingjiang Yizhen incident not long ago, immediately realized the danger and immediately opened his mouth to remind,
"Don't look at the butterflies, they ......"
No one responded!
Yu Zhen was stunned for half a second, and hurriedly turned his head to look at his companion beside him.
Pupils suddenly constricted.
I saw that Wu Senyan, who was still on guard before, stood in place as if he was enchanted, his eyes looking straight ahead, and the mechanical mask that should have been on his face was also taken off.
They have sunk into illusion!
