Chapter 248: Dragon City Team, Danger
Through the conversation, Su Xia had a general understanding of the current situation of the Zerg.
After that battle, the Zerg were torn apart, some surrendered, and some went into hiding.
Now, on the three continents of this world, there are countless large and small insect nests, dotted with them, similar to the Terran resistance organization.
Like Su Xia and the octopus monster Haidar, there are more than a dozen high-level intelligent zergs who directly serve the queen.
They are responsible for bringing together the old and new zergs from all over the world, twisting them into a force, and waiting for the right time.
Now is not the time.
The progress of the dozen or so was not very smooth.
The hive lords in various places, some have doubts about the queen's life and death, some are unwilling to go to war with the mechanical clan again, and some new hive lords are not afraid of the queen's prestige at all.
Unless Helen, the queen, made a trip herself, the new lords would not be convinced at all.
Haidar's tentacles fluttered, his eyes flickered, and he said slowly: "In the past few years, the queen has been recuperating from her injuries, and some lords want to establish themselves as kings. โ
Su Xia asked, "Can they succeed?" By devouring each other? โ
"Of course not." Haidar said firmly, "The Queen has the power of the Zerg from the starry sky, and that power is likely to be related to the Creator, those lowly lords are no match for the Queen in any way, even if they grow to the sixth order of life, they can only submit to the throne." โ
As for the special power of this queen, Haidar can't say clearly, but he is absolutely convinced-
As long as you have seen the queen, even the strongest zerg creatures will surrender to her.
At the beginning, when he saw the queen for the first time, he felt a threat from life to soul, and without any words or communication, he understood that it was his king.
He is not an ordinary zerg, and with his wisdom and reason, he can forcibly defy that deterrence and leave.
But he stayed.
Even if he was later defeated, chased by the Cyborgs, and severely injured and dying, he never regretted this decision.
"You can feel it, right, Els?" Haidar was willing to tell Susha some Zerg secrets, also because he believed that Susha would succumb to that deterrence.
This kind of deterrence has not been effective in any zerg so far.
Su Xia nodded: "Yes, I feel it too." โ
Of course, in fact......
He didn't feel anything.
Either this body doesn't have Zerg genes.
Either the life level of this body is not weaker than that of the queen.
From its initial evolution to the present, this body has awakened more than a dozen active skills, and there are also two passive skills, namely "Leader's Will" and "Enhanced Perception".
The kind of deterrence that Haidar said gave Su Xia the same feeling as the "leader's will".
The Will of the Leader allows him to have a deterrent effect on creatures that are lower than his own strength.
In the skill description, it is not clear how strong this effect is, and Suxia is still exploring it.
It didn't take long for Helen to finish her observation of the two hives and plan to leave.
Beside her, Haidar said to Susha, "Els, the Queen and I will not stay here, if you need to contact us, you can come to Whitewood Town on the outskirts of Coral City and express your interest in contacting the town blacksmith, and the blacksmith will help you." โ
Su Xia asked, "That blacksmith, is it parasitic?" โ
"Yes."
After receiving an affirmative answer from Haidar's mouth, Susha was a little surprised.
He had been to the town of Shiraki not long ago, but he hadn't noticed the blacksmith.
The Beechburg team, just outside the White Wood Town, is leveling up at the lumber yard, and the average level of the team is quite high, and they are trying to hit level 30.
The last forum battle made many players have a sense of worry, and everyone has been desperately upgrading recently.
If the coalition of those foreign players does fight, they can't be as arrogant as they were decades ago.
"Is there anything else I need to know?"
"No, I'll contact you if there's something."
Su Xia wanted to ask about the Zero Tavern, this queen can freely enter and leave the underground core area of the Zero Tavern, and her status in the tavern is definitely not low.
But Haidar didn't take the initiative to mention it, and even if he talked about the connection, he only gave the location of the small town of Baimu, and it was obvious that it was not the time yet.
What would be the relationship between the tavern and the Zerg?
This neutral organization was definitely not established by the Zerg, otherwise the attitude of the Cymb towards it would not be so strange.
This question can only be asked later.
At the moment, Su Xia needs to make some achievements to increase his importance within the Zerg.
At this time, outside the hive, the torrential rain had stopped, and a glimmer of dawn appeared in the sky, and the fresh air sent by the morning breeze washed away the smell of blood.
Helen stood on a blood-stained soil and said to Susha, "Els, I look forward to your good news. โ
Su Xia nodded: "Please rest assured." โ
As soon as he finished speaking, a fresh breeze blew, and when he looked up again, Queen Helen and the octopus monster Hedar had disappeared.
This way of exiting is quite high.
Susha knew that Haidar had blinded him with a vision, but he couldn't see through it yet.
Next, it's his own time.
In the corpse-strewn wilderness, all the bugs, including the two lord creatures, looked at Su Xia and waited for him, the queen's messenger, to call the shots.
"What are you looking at me for? While it's fresh, go gnaw on those corpses. โ
Su Xia waved his hand and gave the first command.
And this command is what the living bugs want to hear the most.
At the sound of the order, most of the surrounding insects moved, frantically pounced on the nearest corpse, opened their bloody mouths, and desperately gnawed at them.
If it hadn't been for the Queen's presence just now, they would have gnawed on them a long time ago.
"Click...... Click......"
The sharp fangs tore flesh and blood, bit off the muscles and bones, and swallowed one by one with their heads tilted in spite of their image.
The bloody scene reminded Su Xia of the animal world she had seen when she was a child.
There are only some high-level zergs who can remain calm.
These high-level bugs have no low IQ, and they don't just gnaw at them, but roam around the ground battlefield or the sky to find corpses with more spiritual energy.
They know very well that in this battle, nearly eighty percent of the insects in the two hives are dead, and the remaining two percent are alive, and they can't eat it even if they burst their stomachs, so there is no need to rush.
The two hive lords did not move, but slowly walked in front of Su Xia.
In terms of superficial strength, they are stronger than Su Xia.
But the queen spoke, and they had to surrender, even if they were not convinced in their hearts, they could not show it.
"Lord Els, what are we going to do next?" The stronger black overlord asked, but instead of leaning over, he tilted his head.
His wingspan was close to thirty meters, and he was a behemoth in front of Su Xia, as if he was looking down on Su Xia.
The weaker Shadow Hunter made the same stance.
Su Xia knew very well that if she wanted these two guys to be completely convinced, she had to subdue them with her fists.
He didn't seem to see the careful thinking of these two insects, his face did not change, and he said indifferently: "Wait for them to eat enough, then collect the corpse and throw it to the insect mother, so that the insect mother can refine the spiritual energy in the corpse and feed back to the insect nest." โ
"No problem, just do as you say."
"By the way, you two don't have names yet, do you?"
"Yes."
"Well, I just had two names in mind." Su Xia looked at the black overlord and said, "From today onwards, you will be called 'Xiong Da'. โ
Then he looked at the weaker one on the other side and said, "Your name is 'Xiong Er', how about it?" โ
The Shadow Slayer was puzzled and asked, "Lord Els, does this name mean anything?" โ
Su Xia nodded and said seriously: "Well, I have some understanding of human culture, in their culture, bears are powerful representatives, and the strength of bears is usually used to describe a person as strong. โ
"I see."
Although I was unconvinced, the two bugs couldn't pick out the thorns for this name.
There's not much to say about the serial number.
Judging from the previous combat performance, the Black Overlord is indeed stronger than the Shadow Hunter, so it ranks first.
Subsequently, at Susha's behest, both lord creatures went to the battlefield in search of blood food.
Su Xia also entered the battlefield, as the queen's messenger, he no longer needed to grab food like before, as long as he fancied, those bugs would take the initiative to give it to him.
Maybe it was his identity, or maybe it was the will of the passive skill leader at work, Su Xia noticed that some of the low-level insects looked at him with a hint of fear in their eyes.
"This promotion is too fast, there is no time to experiment with the effect of the skill, go back and find some wild monsters outside who don't know me to try."
Su Xia looked at the [Leader's Will] on the skill bar, and thought to herself.
He activated the Enhanced Devouring Skill, devouring a level 3.6 psionic burrower beside him, and quietly enjoyed this unhurried growth.
The gentle breeze that whipped of grass, dirt, and blood blew through him, and he sat down on the corpse, his wings folded, and the body of the successive battles felt a little tired.
As far as the eye can see, a night of storms and frenzied killings have devastated the wilderness.
Next, it is estimated that it will take several days to clear the battlefield.
After the cleanup, there are more troubles.
Searching for resources, expanding externally, finding other hives, training by class, etc., all kinds of affairs, just thinking about it will make his scalp tingle, and he also wants a bug butler like Haidar.
"Well, some are busy."
Su Xia exhaled a few times and rubbed her eyebrows.
โฆโฆ
Meanwhile.
In the far southwest mountains.
Underneath the dense jungle of alien plants, inside the wreckage of the spaceship, a sharp alarm clock suddenly sounded.
"Jingle bellโ"
"Jingle bellโ"
โโฆโฆโ
Sun Lang, who was still asleep, trembled, and slapped his backhand before his eyes opened.
Bang!
His poor phone was smashed straight to pieces.
On another space bed next to him, Chang Rufeng got up in a daze, his whole body was sore, his brain was drowsy, and his two eyelids seemed to be glued and couldn't be opened.
It's an uncomfortable feeling......
Man is awake, but the soul is still asleep.
"Ah...... I already got up yesterday, why do I have to get up today! โ
Sun Lang hung on the edge of the bed in pain, thinking that he would have to save people next, so he slapped himself hard and slapped himself to sober up.
In fact, before that, the two had not slept for two days and one night.
So the last time they got up was the day before yesterday.
Injuries, poisoning, nervousness, and other factors made them exhausted and fell asleep almost the moment they touched the pillow.
The ship's crew lounge is so high that the mattress is so soft that it seems like gravity has disappeared when lying down, and it's more comfortable than the top-of-the-line suites offered at the Zero Tavern.
"Good morning, breakfast is ready for you."
Hal took control of a service-type machine, walked into the room, and inquired intently.
"Do you want to be delivered to the bedside for you? Or is it in a restaurant? โ
"Let's put it in the cafeteria, we're not three-year-olds anymore."
After all, the two of them were psionic creatures, and they woke up quickly, and they staggered out of the room.
The lights in the dining room were bright, and Su Xia was sitting by a porthole, his eyes were calm, reading a book through the light overhead, reading the "Spaceship Operation: 21 Days from Entry to Ascension" that was rewarded by the mission.
Sun Lang yawned, rubbed his eyes and said, "Commander, how did you do it?" โ
Su Xia raised his head, looked at him calmly and asked, "Do what?" โ
"Your energy is too strong." Chang Rufeng sat down on the side, "I feel like you're never tired, Commander, did you rest last night?" โ
"Well, a short rest."
Su Xia closed the page, of course, he would not say that he had been fighting with the bugs all night.
Sun Lang shook his head and sighed: "Alas, this is probably the gap between people, a person like you, a commander who has goals and beliefs, may never be tired." โ
"We'll never get to your level."
Chang Rufeng stretched his waist, rubbed his waist, and then began to enjoy this alien breakfast.
Breakfast was simple, fruity energy punch, a bowl of vegetable soup, plus two fresh roasts from the oven, the taste was average, but enough for half a day's action.
Once Hal had prepared these breakfasts, he began to report to Susha on the progress of the search.
This night, Suxia's nanobots and hundreds of repair robots controlled by Hal are searching the jungle of Nuoda, looking for traces of the Dragon City team.
The good news is that there are quite a few traces found, and the direction of the Dragon City team has been determined, and there is not a single corpse belonging to Dragon City along the way.
The bad news is that there are more and more dense killer plants along their way.
In the few resting places found, more packaging of medical supplies appeared.
"If they can get through the most dangerous area, then ...... They might be discovered by another me. โ
Based on trace analysis, Hal made a rough judgment.
The route of the Dragon City team, as long as it does not change, has a high probability of passing through the area of another piece of spaceship wreckage.
Once they found the ship, the outcome was predictable.
The other Hal, in order to avoid the ship's exposure, may physically destroy them.
"How's that wreckage?" Susha asked.
"It's still no problem to kill a fifth-level creature." Hal replied truthfully, "As long as they plant more than a dozen floating bombs in the path they must pass, and then use the modified maintenance robot to snipe in the shadows, no one will be able to escape." โ
According to Howl, a big "danger" word has hung above the Dragon City team.
Unfortunately, the two wrecks cannot be directly linked.
The two hals have always been in contact with each other through a controlled maintenance robot.
Every contact took several days to cross the middle area, and those long days were enough for the Dragon City team to die countless times.
Hearing this analysis, Sun Lang and Chang Rufeng immediately sped up their meals, swallowed the pieces of meat on the plate in two bites, and then drank the energy powder and vegetable soup with a gurgling taste.
"Commander, we can hit the road!"
