Chapter Seventy-Three: Welcome to the Jungle

Zerus is a hot land of activity, where countless swarms of protozoa are fighting each other to evolve, from dense and humid jungles to scorching volcanic hills.

There are four powerful bosses in the native swarm, Argyzora, Slivan, Keres, and Barak. They continued to fight against each other in order to seize the essentia of the other chieftains.

And the stronger leader that Ignis sensed, Horus had already given Zemmor relevant information before coming to Zerus.

The giant Ancient King Worm was now sleeping beneath Zerus, and its power was so powerful that even the Blade Queens of the past were hard to match, and now that Kerrigan was able to face these proto-swarm leaders in a human body, it was a great challenge for Kerrigan to face these Native Worm Swarm Leaders.

In the ground base that had just been established, Kerrigan and the others were discussing the next action.

"The bugs in the nearby jungle have already launched several rounds of attacks on our base, and we can't afford to sit still any longer," Renault said, pointing to the jungle near the base on the map, "We have to find a way to take the initiative." ”

"That's a good point, but taking the initiative to enter the home of the swarm is looking for death." Zemol shook his head and said:

"If Lady Kerrigan leads his swarm, we can kill them directly, but," Zemmor paused, looked at the warriors around him, and continued, "I have three hundred Space Marines on hand, and the Rangers have a few thousand, and I don't want to take such a few people to fight with millions of native swarms with bayonets, which will only turn the warriors into essemblies and feces in the belly of the swarm." ”

Essentia ...... Kerrigan thought for a moment, and then came up with an idea, the nature of the proto-insect swarm is to pursue essentia, and now there is a perfect hunting object in this command room, and that is Kerrigan himself.

Kerrigan's idea is very simple, that is, to use himself as bait to attract the native insect swarm leaders in the jungle, and now Kerrigan is a piece of pie with thin skin and thick flesh, and he is not afraid to attract those leaders who want to evolve.

"You're courageous, Ms. Kerrigan."

"No, then you will be in danger, who knows how fierce the attack of those native insect swarms will be, what if there is an accident?" Renault frowned.

"That's the best thing to do, Jim, I can't let your people take more risks for me." "And these Ancient King Worms are an obstacle to my ability to gain the power of Zerus, and I have to face them. ”

Ignis nodded in agreement, "That's right, I found that the essentia in those ancient king worms represents the power of Zerus. Perhaps these powers can only be obtained through the survival of the fittest. ”

Seeing that Kerrigan and the commander of the expeditionary force agreed with Kerrigan's idea, Renault had to compromise.

"Okay, Sarah, but no matter what happens, I'll face it with you, even if it's a sea of swords."

Kerrigan walked up to Renault and kissed him on the forehead, "Of course, I trust you. ”

Seeing the two of them crooked together, Zemol coughed lightly, "Pay attention to the occasion, two." ”

"Oh! Of course. Renault's old face turned red, and then they agreed on a battle plan, an ambush operation with Kerrigan as bait.

Although Kerrigan was suppressed to the deepest part of her soul because of the effect of Sarnagar's artifact, she was the powerful Blade Empress in the past, and her body was bound to be coveted by the ancient king worms.

General Kerrigan and Renaud lead an elite army into the jungle to actively search for the leader of the Ancient King Worm, while Zemol and Ignis will be on standby in the air. Once the Ancient King Worms show up, they will deal a fatal blow to these swarm leaders.

A few hours later, Kerrigan departed, and for her safety, in addition to Renault accompanying her, there was also a Thousand Sons Think Tank Star Whisperer with two teams of Terminators.

Stepping over the overlapping trees, Kerrigan walked through the jungle with a C-20 Gauss rifle, her harsh environment combat suit making her feel like she was walking on the ground in the rainforest, while Renault was a little restrained, and the CMC Power Armor was too bulky in the jungle.

"I hate rainforests" Renault trampled off the trees under his feet, and the dense vegetation around him made it impossible to see anything.

"Maybe we should be more violent." Said the Star Whisperer, who was walking behind Renault.

"What are you going to do?" Renault paused to look at the think tank in the blue Terminator armor.

"Burn." The Star Whisperer said lightly that this should never be done in the jungle, "Use the flames to clear some of the surrounding areas." ”

"Good idea." Kerrigan leaned over, "This will definitely attract the attention of the Native Ancient King Worm." ”

The Star Whisperer nodded, and with a wave of his hand, two Terminators with heavy flame guns walked to the front of the group.

"Let's make a path, cousin Demeter."

The Terminator with the steel mask painted on his shoulder armor pulled the trigger of the flame gun, and thousands of degrees of promethium flames erupted, and the heat directly ignited the damp trees of the jungle, and the black smoke seemed to alarm the entire jungle.

Roar!! A roar came from afar, and the vibrating sound of the beasts running kept approaching.

"Get ready for battle! They took the bait. Renault loaded the Gauss rifle and then aimed in the direction where the shock was emitted.

In the sound of rubbing, the digging worm and the primordial jumping worm jumped out, "Fire!" Suddenly, the 8mm depleted uranium bullet fired by the Gauss rifle instantly pierced through the burrower's capsule, and the acid sprayed onto the nearby primordial jumping worm with a sizzling corrosive sound.

The Terminators opened fire quickly after locking onto the enemy with the helmet's aiming system, and none of the primordial insects that rushed through them under the fire of tactical assault guns and storm blasters survived.

A dozen high-speed bone spurs suddenly shot out of the smoke from the incineration, and the sudden attack caused a Ranger Marine to accidentally hit, and after the blast shield on his shoulder blocked seven bone spikes, one bone spike broke through the defense and stabbed directly into the head of the CMC armor, and the high-speed bone spikes pierced the Marine's brain and made a mess.

"The team is down! What about the medics! The Ranger Lieutenant shouted loudly, his Gauss rifle firing into the smoke, and the 100 rounds were drained in a few breaths.

The Terminator with the ion cannon in hand shot at the smoke, and the blue ion cluster instantly dispersed the black smoke, and boom, more than a dozen primordial stinging snakes were blown to pieces.

Within minutes of the attack, the decoy force began to set up a makeshift defensive position, and with the exception of a few Marines who initially lost them, the rest quickly began to counterattack the attacking primordial insects.

Seeing that his attack had been fruitless, the leader of the swarm, Barak, covered in spikes, decided to take matters into his own hands, the smallest of the group seemed to be full of temptation for it, and Barak could feel the powerful essentia inside her, and it was about to eat her.

When the giant beast appeared in Kerrigan's field of vision, she didn't hesitate to call for reinforcements.
