Chapter Seventy-Eight: Encountering the Enemy
The team, which had been slowly assembling, was assembled in a short time and rushed out of the base of Flying Star 101.
This is an extraordinarily large team, with a full 300 star soldiers.
The overall strength of the team is also quite impressive, the lowest strength is the second-order cultivation of the Star Realm, and there are as many as thirty Star Warriors of the Shattered Star Realm.
There are even ten mechs in this team, five each of which are battle mechs and fortress mechs.
On the real battlefield, even if a mecha war breaks out, not all star warriors fly large mechs.
Large mechs are not only expensive to build, but also expensive to repair and maintain.
Therefore, in mature corps, large mecha warriors and ordinary mecha warriors are often configured according to a certain ratio.
However, the teams that can deploy large mechs during missions are often the elite troops of the military department.
This team is obviously composed of mercenaries, but it still uses ten large mechas, which shows the special nature of this operation.
Sitting on the armored car, Qin Xiao's mind was a little confused.
The strong man who suddenly found Wen Yuan in the base was named Wen Ji, and he was the commander of this mercenary team.
The situation in Wen Ji's mouth has changed, which means that a group of red ant beasts suddenly rushed in the range of activities of the Lan Flame Beast, and the number of those red ant beasts is extremely large, which is equivalent to the outbreak of a medium-sized beast tide.
If it was other alien beasts that infested the Lan Flame Beast's range of activity, it might not cause Wen Ji and them to worry.
But red antbeasts naturally like to feed on flames, and Lan Flame Beasts are the most delicious food in their eyes.
Moreover, the Red Ant Beast's intelligence is extremely low, and once they discover the Lan Flame Beast, the entire clan will inevitably attack it.
If this is the case, Wen Ji and their arrest operation this time will definitely end in failure, after all, if what they get is a dead Lan Flame Beast, it will be meaningless.
So the team set off in a hurry, just to catch the Lan Flame Beast before the Red Ant Beast found out.
If not......
Then destroy the red antbeast first!
The reason why Qin Xiao was a little upset now was because he was worried that the Red Ant Beast would find the Lan Flame Beast's lair.
The Lan Flame Beast is certainly powerful, but after all, it has just been produced, and it and its cubs must be in the weak stage.
In the face of a large number of red ant beasts, even if they were as strong as Lan Flame Beasts, they could only escape.
But the problem is, the Flame Beast definitely won't take its eggshell with it when it escapes.
But those eggshells are also a great delicacy for red antbeasts!
Qin Xiao was worried that the eggshell would disappear, and he didn't care if the Lan Flame Beast would be targeted or even killed by the Red Ant Beast.
If he couldn't get his hands on the Flame Beast's eggshell, this operation would be a complete failure for him.
Three hours later, this elite team of mercenaries arrived at the designated location.
The battlefield that appeared in front of them was a lush forest, and according to the information obtained by Wen Ji's subordinates, the Lan Flame Beast had been hiding in this wood.
"Do you want to come with us?" After stepping out of the armored car, Wen Yuan asked.
"I'll take my men and follow the large army, and I'll rush over to join you when I encounter the Lan Flame Beast." Qin Xiao immediately replied.
"Okay, feel free to get in touch." Wen Yuan threw down a sentence and immediately rushed out with the others.
Wen Yuan and the other five special recruits he brought with him were here to besiege the Lan Flame Beast, and they formed the main attack team with the other Shattered Star Realm Star Warriors in the mercenary group.
During the search for the Lan Flame Beast, there was no need for cooperation between Qin Xiao and them, and he only needed to fight in the final battle.
Qin Xiao took Hu Yange and the others into the forest slowly, their battle was to confirm the effect of the previous special training, and they were not in a hurry to make meritorious contributions.
As a four-person squad, they couldn't arrange a formation like a normal ten-person mech squad.
It can only be guarded by Haishan at the front of the team, Qin Xiao and Hu Yange to protect the left and right, and Zhao Ruling behind the palace.
"The strength of the red ant beast is not strong, the vast majority of red ant beasts are only level 1 strength in their lifetime, their frontal combat ability is not strong, and the offensive means are extremely lacking."
"But the red ant beast will spit out acid before dying, and this acid is extremely corrosive, and it is impossible for starlight weapons and mechanical light armor to escape the corrosion of acid."
"In the event of a battle, be sure to use the Star Energy Weapon to strike from a distance, even if you are rushed in front of you by the Red Ant Beast, try to only cut off their bodies, and don't think about killing them."
As Qin Xiao walked, he reminded Hu Yange and the others.
Haishan looked bitter and said helplessly: "Then what should I do, my task is to help you block the frontal impact of the red ant beast." ”
"Adapt!" Qin Xiao gave an answer that made Haishan vomit blood.
In fact, he could have taught Haishan how to deal with the red ant beast, but he didn't want to teach Haishan everything himself.
One day he will need to be on his own, and sometimes trusting his own judgment is more important than following orders.
Qin Xiao still remembers the invitation Shao Ming sent to Haishan when he was transforming his body.
Haishan is hopeful of piloting the Great Wall Fortress Mecha, and when he is strong enough, Qin Xiao will recommend him to test drive the Great Wall Fortress Mecha.
Once he really became a member of the Great Wall Project, Haishan would have to make his own choices in the future.
Fortunately, Haishan is not a wooden man who only obeys the arrangement, and when a large number of red ant beasts encounter them, Haishan's performance is perfect.
Not only did he perfectly block all the frontal attacks from the team, but his method against the enemy was to use the most primitive method - to fly out.
The strength of the seamount has already exceeded tens of thousands of kilograms, and under the heavy fist, the weak red ant beast cannot resist it at all.
Many red ant beasts are already dead when they fly upside down, and they don't even have a chance to spit out acid until they die.
Zhao Ruling's performance also made Qin Xiao very satisfied, she has a super talent in shooting, and it can be seen that she has been training hard in this area since she was a child.
A Serial Seta machine gun resembles a MiG sniper in her hand, and with every shot she fires, a red antbeast is killed, and the gun is a headshot.
Her shooting was rhythmic, as if it was a point shot, and it seemed to be strafing, and under the continuous gunfire fell a patch of red antbeasts. 33
In comparison, Qin Xiao and Hu Yange's performances were mediocre.
Neither Qin Xiao nor Hu Yange were very fond of using star energy weapons to attack enemies from a distance, but they had to use this method in this kind of battle.
As a result, the two of them took the Saida machine gun and fired desperately, using their own strong star power reserves to hit the red ant beast fiercely.
The firepower is ferocious, but the accuracy is really touching.
However, Qin Xiao and Hu Yange did this because they didn't want to consume too much star power in this kind of battle.
If the Star Energy weapon does not shoot accurately when shooting, the consumption of Star Power will not be too much.
The red antmons that appeared in this dense forest have reached the size of a medium-sized beast tide, which means that their number has reached at least tens of thousands, and even twenty or thirty thousand.
Despite the high kill efficiency of the entire mercenary team, the overall progress of the team is not very optimistic.
The battle in the midst of the beast tide must be carried out steadily, otherwise one mistake may put the team in a bitter battle.
In terms of the overall configuration of their team, it is impossible to be wiped out by the medium-sized beast tide of the Red Ant Beast, but if they don't fight well, the casualties of the team will indeed be high.
Suddenly, in the middle of the advancement, Qin Xiao heard a message asking for help.
After distinguishing the coordinates of the other party's request for help, Qin Xiao decided to rush over to support immediately.
Regarding Qin Xiao's rescue decision, Hu Yange felt a little surprised.
Based on his understanding of Qin Xiao, Qin Xiao is not the kind of person who likes to be a good person, and doing this kind of thankless thing doesn't seem to be quite in line with his style of doing things.
Zhao Ruling saw Hu Yange's doubts and explained in a low voice: "During the battle, helping teammates is to protect yourself, and one more teammate is alive, and there will be one more point to share firepower." ”
In fact, Zhao Ruling didn't understand this truth originally, but it was precisely because of the time she met Qin Xiao on the No. 79 flying star that she understood this truth.
Huyange nodded, he was not disgusted by the rescue, he was just curious.
After rushing to the scene of the incident, Qin Xiao found that the team calling for help was a standard ten-person mecha team, but they were surrounded by a large number of red ant beasts near a giant sequoia tree at the moment.
Seeing that someone was coming to help, the captain on the opposite side immediately reminded with a teleport: "There are a few mutated among these red ant beasts, be careful." ”
Hearing the mutant red ant beast, Qin Xiao's brows immediately furrowed.
Red antmons are typical low-level alien beasts, and the probability of mutation is extremely low.
There may not be a single mutant red ant beast among the hundreds of thousands of red ant beasts, but there can be several here, which makes Qin Xiao faintly feel uneasy.
Qin Xiao soon discovered the mutated red ant beast in the red ant colony, and immediately ordered Haishan to protect Zhao Ruling and hide under another giant sequoia tree.
The body of the ordinary red ant beast is only about one meter long, but it is actually a large ant with protruding mouthparts, like a sickle, and their offensive method is to bite with their mouthparts.
But in this colony, there are five huge red ant beasts with a body length of more than three meters and mouthparts that are half a meter long.
These red ant beasts obviously did not suffer a fatal blow, but acid continued to flow out of their mouthparts.
The acid that flowed out of it could even hurt the other normal red antmons around them, but they didn't care.
"Zhao Ruling, change to a MiG heavy sniper, try to aim at the mouthparts of the mutant red ant beast."
After confirming that Zhao Ruling had already taken the throne, Qin Xiao immediately issued an order.
There were hundreds of red ant beasts here, and even Qin Xiao didn't dare to rush into the herd to fight.
Zhao Ruling had already changed his gun, and as Qin Xiao gave an order, a dull gunfire sounded, and then a terrible scream came out from the beasts on the opposite side.
The shot burst the mouthparts of the mutant red antmon with great precision, and the mutant red antmon's mouth was opened with a huge gap, and a large amount of acid was sprayed in all directions.
The ordinary red ant beasts around them couldn't dodge at all, and all of them were affected by the acid sprayed, and screams rang out for a while.
"Good marksmanship!"
Qin Xiao couldn't help but praise, and then continued to order: "Kill the other mutated ones as well, don't feel sorry for the ammunition." ”
Some people died, but not completely......
