Chapter 374: The Fear of the Bugs
They still didn't do it after all, which saved Su Xia a lot of trouble.
It would have been easy to teach them a lesson, but these two guys were huge, and it was easy to hurt those fragile eggs when they fought.
Eggs are the new force of the hive, and they are full of cute baby bugs.
If there was really going to be a fight, Su Xia would also call them outside.
"Els, what little trick do you want to play?"
"If the news never comes back, are you going to delay like this?"
The two worms looked at him directly, and there was a fierce light in their dark red eyes.
Su Xia looked calm and said to the two of them, "I am very pleased with your restraint, which shows that you are doing things with your brain, not your physical instincts, which is a sign of an increased degree of evolution. β
"Els, you didn't answer our question!" Xiong Da said.
"Rest assured, news will be back soon." Su Xia said without hurry.
"Els, my scout came back early, and he told me now was the time to expand!"
"No, your so-called scouts are too superficial in this regard......"
Although the two lords had read the books Su Xia had given them, they hadn't changed much, and their reconnaissance system was still the same old way - letting those low-level bugs with a large number and speed be in charge of reconnaissance and messaging.
Then, let the news go up the layers until it reaches their ears.
There's a fatal problem here.
Although there are many low-level bugs, their IQ is quite impressive.
Most of the messages they deliver back have problems such as low accuracy, questionable authenticity, and lack of targeting, and many times they are looking for them aimlessly.
In this regard, according to the situation in the entire southwest region, Su Xia made certain improvements to the reconnaissance system of the two insect hives.
There were quite a few high-level zergs who had been sent out by him, especially parasites.
On the side of the old Oasis camp, this race used to stress him.
But now that he had mastered some of the parasites himself, he turned around and found that this race was too useful.
They are intelligent and cautious, and despite a certain level of greed, most of them are perfectly integrated into the parasitic race and can detect enough information from them.
"In the hive, the advantages and disadvantages of each race, as well as the scope of application, I have already listed them for you separately, presumably you have not looked at it, or rather, you have not thought about how to improve it." Susha said to the two lords.
"Els, you're changing the subject!" Xiong Da unceremoniously refuted.
"Okay, then let's not talk about it, wait for the news slowly."
Su Xia spread his hands and chose to be silent, no longer arguing with the two lords.
He flapped his wings and slowly descended, landing on a boulder platform inside the hive, waiting for news to come.
Xiong Da, on the other hand, stretched out his sharp claws and hung upside down on the rocks at the top of the hive, folding his wings like a giant bat.
Xiong Er stood on another high platform, his gaze sometimes swept over Su Xia, sometimes swept over Xiong Da above, his eyes were dark red, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Obviously, the two lords are not so aligned either.
They are now on the same front, just to fight against Susha.
Once Su Xia relinquishes power, the two of them will inevitably fight, and even go to war directly, playing the position of a leader.
"Whew...... ......"
Below, some bugs roared, their fangs dripping slime, releasing fighting pheromones.
During this time, Su Xia's strategy has been based on contraction, hiding in the shadows for a long time, just seeking to develop slowly.
It is not unreasonable for the world to be popular today.
Shoot the first bird, just look at how miserable his masked monster's body is.
However, his actions not only dissatisfied the two lords, but also made many bugs below feel dissatisfied.
Today's incident is the result of the accumulation of long-term contradictions and dissatisfaction.
Many bugs with low IQs are thinking that it might be better to have a more belligerent lord to give them more opportunities to be promoted.
Now, all three leaders are silent.
The time in the hive passed slowly in a depressing and dreary way.
"Tick ...... Tick ......"
Drops of icy water drip from the stalactites at the top of the rock, and the sound is rhythmic, like a second hand recording time.
As time passed, the atmosphere inside the hive gradually changed.
Waiting, probably the worst thing bugs are good at.
Inside the hive, some of the bugs became agitated, their hoarse cries became high, and some even began to collide and bite each other.
Chaos is spreading, and death is coming.
The range of fights has expanded, and it has become deadly.
"Click!"
Suddenly, the head of a bug was bitten off the spot, and the bones and intracranial tissues exploded to the ground.
The rest of the surrounding insects quickly rushed up and devoured it.
The smell of blood wafted away, completely activating the suppressed nature of the bugs.
With a few shrill screams, the chaos of the entire lair was instantly detonated!
In the center of the base of the hive, a large group of insects immediately fought together and fought each other, like wild beasts released from the Colosseum.
"Roarβ"
The roaring continues, and the killing continues.
Not only ordinary races, but even members of a few high-ranking races couldn't resist the bloody temptation and joined this melee.
Not long after, a huge giant god worm let out a wail and fell heavily, and his huge body immediately became food for the rest of the insects, and he was disemboweled, and was eaten into a skeleton in an instant.
Soon, even the skeleton was gone, and the bloodshot bones were bitten and brutally swallowed by other insects.
"Click! Click! β
The sound of crushing bones was quite penetrating.
In just a few minutes, dozens of bugs died in the melee.
And, as time goes on, the area of the melee is gradually expanding, and more and more bugs are joining this wanton internal killing!
At this moment, most of the people who can maintain absolute sanity are those cultural insects who have read books.
They quietly retreated to the side, not participating in any struggle, suppressing the desires of their hearts with reason.
The leader of this group of cultural insects is the level 3.9 parasite, and one of the most heartfelt insects for Su Xia now, named "Agu Beast" by Su Xia, because the primitive insect he parasitized has yellow scales and looks like a small dinosaur.
The evolution direction of the sub-ancient beast is different from that of the rest of its kind, and he has also shown a certain degree of mutation, superior ability, and the potential to become a leader.
He stood at the entrance of the hive, his eyes calm, waiting for news from the scout as he observed the situation inside the hive.
Seeing the chaotic fighting, the Agu Beast's expression remained unchanged, but he couldn't help but curse in his heart: "A group of insects! β
With such a worm, when will the glory of the Zerg be restored?
Fortunately, Su Xia is here.
Agumon made up his mind, even if Su Xia really lost his leadership power today, he would continue to follow Su Xia.
His IQ and sanity are far superior to those of ordinary bugs, and he has passed the stage of being conquered by power, and he is more willing to believe in his inner choice.
Just like when the octopus monster Haidar saw the queen, his strength was completely enough to refuse the queen's invitation, but he still chose to follow, even if he had suffered countless interceptions by the mechanical clan over the years, he did not regret it.
"The Queen's choice is correct, Ells is far more structured than those two idiots." Agumon glanced at the other two leaders, and became more determined in his thoughts.
At this moment, Xiong Da and Xiong Er are gloating.
The internal strife in the hive is, to some extent, a sign of the incompetence of the leader.
This battle has continued until now, and the number of deaths has exceeded 100, but Su Xia has not yet intervened to stop it.
Or...... He simply doesn't have the power to stop it?
If it were the two of them, they would be able to suppress this chaos as long as they stood on a high platform and roared, and then released terrifying psionic energy fluctuations.
And now, what is Susha doing?
He stood quietly on the high platform, standing with his hands in his hands, as if he didn't see the chaos below, and let the fight below continue.
"Roaring ......"
With a wail, another giant worm fell.
His heavy body instantly resembled a hill, instantly crushing more than a dozen low-level insects that had bitten him, shattered bones and splashed blood, extremely tragic.
The surrounding insects swarmed up, screaming and screaming, trying to eat the huge bug.
And at this moment, Su Xia finally moved.
"Boom!"
He leapt to his feet, turning into a blood-colored afterimage, and landed heavily on the body of the giant god worm.
Then, without saying anything, he still stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes indifferent, calmly staring at the insects that wanted to rush up and share the food.
"Shhh...... Hiss ......"
The bugs around them hissed in low voices, greed and madness in their eyes, drops of slime dripping from their sharp teeth.
But Su Xia was here, and they didn't dare to come up for a while, so they could only surround the body of this giant god worm, tentatively, and keep roaring, trying to get Su Xia to leave.
But Su Xia didn't move, just looked at them calmly.
Some of the bold bugs wanted to get closer, screaming hoarsely, with fierce expressions, and their craving for food made them want to take a risk.
But whenever they approached, an inexplicable sense of fear would well-up from the bottom of their hearts.
It seemed that it was not Su Xia who was standing on the body of the giant god insect, but a newborn Zerg king, and his momentum alone made them panic inexplicably.
The closer they got, the stronger the fear became, almost overwhelming their thirst for food.
In the hive, a rather strange picture slowly appeared.
The fighting gradually stopped, and every insect looked at the huge giant god worm, greed, longing, fear, and other emotions fighting in their bodies, so that killing became a secondary matter.
"......"
A bug slammed forward, fangs terrifying, trying to snatch a piece of fresh flesh from Su Xia's feet as fast as it could.
But as he approached, before he could bite, he was crushed by that huge fear!
"Whew......"
He let out a wail, his forelimbs weakened, and he collapsed directly in front of Su Xia.
This worm was prostrate, as if it had completely surrendered to Su Xia.
His paralysis actually brought about a chain reaction.
The other insects around were crawling one after another, and fear suppressed everything, which was a kind of awe from the depths of life, which made them dare not resist and had to choose to surrender.
In this scene, I was stunned by Xiong Da in the sky and Xiong Er on the high platform.
There is no need to roar, there is no need to release psionic energy fluctuations, there is no means of using any power, just stand there, and the surrounding insects will surrender!
What kind of means is this?
They were shocked and found incredulous.
This means to break their fixed thinking, outside the scope of their cognition.
"Els, you do have some skills." Xiong Da suddenly spoke, "However, your cowardice is still your biggest flaw, you can't be a good leader, maybe you can be a good assistant." β
"That's right, Els, you can assist me and help me manage the inside of the hive." Xiong Er said the same.
The two of them were hoarse, sounding like they didn't have much mood swings, and they were still belittling Su Xia.
However, only they themselves know the shaking of their hearts.
At this time, he opened his mouth, perhaps just to give himself a little confidence and continue to suppress Su Xia.
After all, the Zerg is respected by strength after all, and they are confident in the strength of their own strength.
At this moment, the Agumon at the entrance of the hive suddenly received a message: "Lord Els, the news from the south has returned. β
Su Xia stood on the giant god worm and said to him, "Well, tell Xiong Da and Xiong Er what happened in the southern city. β
"Okay!"
Agumon glanced at the two lord creatures and began to explain what had happened that night.
Among them, there is some news that these two lords are aware of.
For example, about the masked monsters.
They knew that this human was carrying a sizable bounty on his back, and that many wanted to kill him.
"It is rumored that the Automaton's operation against the masked monsters this time has not been successful." "Our scouts have spotted a significant number of mechanical creatures in various cities, which is a sign of large-scale action by the robots. β
"So what? What does it represent? Xiong questioned him.
"Based on the analysis, the mechs are likely to conduct a large-scale search of the entire southwest region." Agumon said calmly.
"Why? Just for that human? β
"Yes."
"No way, the action of the automaton can't fail, that human must be dead!" The bear is determined that the masked monster is dead.
This is not only an affirmation of the power of the automatons, but also a manifestation of his own lack of self-confidence.
Although he didn't say it directly, ...... In his subconscious, the power of the automaton is unmatched, and no one can escape from the actions made by the automaton.
"Even if the automatons really have a large-scale operation, it can't be for a single human!"
Xiong Er suddenly spoke: "They won't waste their energy searching the entire southwest region, this is against their code of action, they must be planning to do something against a large human resistance station." β
"Yes, it doesn't have much to do with us." Xiong Da agrees with his analysis.
In just a few words, the two lord creatures denied the Agumon's speculation and reduced the news to worthless.
This made Agumon a little angry.
He could see that the two worms only wanted to seize power today, and they didn't care about the safety of the hive at all.
If it weren't for his lack of strength, he really wanted to beat these two things now.
In addition to being angry, he was not only a little worried, because he felt that Su Xia's strength was not comparable to that of the two lords, and today's problem was not easy to solve.
"Els, is this the news you've kept us waiting for?" Xiong Da looked at Su Xia.
"Hmm." Susha responded.
"With this news alone, you want everyone to hide underground with you for half a month? Your weakness is truly an eye-opener for me! Xiong Da snorted coldly.
Xiong Er also said: "Els, you are really stalling for time!" β
The two worms attacked Su Xia at the same time, which was to force him to hand over power.
Seeing this, Su Xia's eyes drooped slightly, looked at his sharp claws, and said in a deep voice: "I wanted to reason with you, but you didn't listen......"
