Chapter 223: One Against a Thousand
However, this does not mean that Zheng Shu has forgotten this form that can greatly improve his combat effectiveness, and in the face of today's situation, he can only do his best.
Sure enough, as Zheng Shu expected, it didn't take long for the chaotic insect swarm to calm down, and the insects that were originally scurrying around turned their eyes around Zheng Shu again.
There were insects in the sky and underground, and they surrounded Zheng Shu so densely that even the morning sun blocked them.
With a commotion of the swarm, the bugs on the ground made way of a passage, and a black beetle, which was extremely large compared to the other bugs, slowly walked out.
The black beetle was extremely large, and with the thick ramming horns of the log above its head, it looked like a heavy excavator. There was a silver glow in the cracks of the black carapace on his body, and if he looked closely, it was the magic of a high concentration of crystals.
Zheng Shu could clearly feel that after this beetle came out, the surrounding beetles immediately became agile, as if an army had a command. It was as if the dragon power that could have caused the riot no longer existed, as if something had protected the spirit and brain of the beetles.
"Buzz ......"
The silver-black beetle leader looked at Zheng Shu carefully with his unusually hideous compound eyes, I don't know if it was an illusion, Zheng Shu could actually feel a surprise from its pair of compound eyes.
"Click!"
The black carapace on the back of the commander of the armor opened out, no longer using transparent wings to make a sound, but kept vibrating the carapace to make a clicking sound, and the surrounding beetles immediately took a fighting posture after hearing this sound, and Zheng Shu could even feel their momentum rise a notch.
"Do you think of me as a tonic?" The dragon's intuition immediately made Zheng Shu understand the meaning of the other party's gaze, "The ambition is really big, and you actually want to pull the dragon species within the scope of your recipe." If you do eat me, you may indeed turn into a catastrophe that will be unstoppable, but are you sure your people can beat me?! ”
"Click...... Karma! After hearing Zheng Shu's words, the beetle leader of this insect actually showed humanized mood swings, and Zheng Shu could even feel its disdain.
With the sudden change of carapace rubbing, the surrounding beetles immediately attacked as if they had received some order, and rushed towards Zheng Shu in a mighty manner.
"So...... I offer this battle as a sacrifice to the gods! Zheng Shu muttered in a low voice, clenched the mace in his hand, and charged in reverse towards the swarm.
"Buzz!!"
The sharp and piercing humming sound was not at all like the sound that a creature could make, and in the face of the monster rushing towards it like a tank, Zheng Shu's eyes exuded tyrannical emotion, and his hands raised his mace high and swung it violently.
Bang!
With the faint light flickering on the mace, the body of the running beetle was shattered like a broken water bag, and the shattered corpse was smashed backwards by Zheng Shu's terrifying power and rushed out dozens of meters, sprinkling a series of "soup soup water" on the ground.
The bugs that were also charging behind this beetle were also shocked back a few steps by the residual force on the corpse, causing the speed of the swarm charge in this direction to be temporarily slowed down.
However, Zheng Shu's tyrannical behavior did not cause the entire insect swarm to fluctuate in the slightest, and the insect swarms in other directions took advantage of Zheng Shu's attack to approach extremely quickly and bite him in the back.
Syllable!
Another bug's body exploded.
Zheng Shu turned around with the help of the power he had just swung, exerted force in the direction of the power, and swung the mace from bottom to top like wielding a baseball bat, just shooting away the beetle that wanted to sneak attack from behind.
Rumble!
Zheng Shu just wanted to take advantage of the situation to pursue, and suddenly a terrifying shock wave exploded in front of him, and the turbulent shock wave even stirred up ripples on Zheng Shu's hard scales and skin, and the overflowing power slashed the turf within a radius of more than ten meters.
When the dust cleared, a shallow radioactive pit appeared under Zheng Shu's feet, and in the center of the shallow pit, Zheng Shu held a mace in both hands to block the attack from the beetle leader's collision horn.
Looking at the black angle that was set up in front of him and constantly rubbed with the mace to create sparks, the corners of Zheng Shu's mouth raised a hideous smile: "It's really not about martial arts, it's worthy of being a bug." ”
At this time, the swarm of insects that had been blocked by the shock wave surrounded again, and Zheng Shu could only give up the confrontation with the beetle leader in terms of strength, and let his body fly upside down with the power of its attack.
Under the combined force of the two forces, Zheng Shu flew out upside down like a cannonball, saw the opportunity, and stepped directly on the skull of a beetle with both feet.
Click!
The hardest part of the beetle's head was immediately cracked by Zheng Shu's feet, but this kind of injury, which was enough to make most creatures seriously injured on the spot and lose their combat effectiveness, could only be regarded as a minor injury for these insects.
Although the beetle that Zheng Shu used as a cushion had more than half of its carapace on its head, it still fiercely wanted to clamp Zheng Shu with its arthropods and mouthparts.
Seeing the sharp limbs like a sickle coming towards his waist, Zheng Shu jumped up with force under his feet, and the explosive force during the jump directly crushed the head of the beetle under his feet.
But even after being hit so hard, the beetle still did not die, and even kept turning its collision angle to try to intercept Zheng Shu in mid-air.
"Tsk!"
Faced with the ghost-like vitality of the insect swarm, Zheng Shu slurped.
He simply raised the mace high again, and used his waist and abdomen strength to swing it down in mid-air.
The mace also lit up with an even brighter light, and the air within a radius of tens of meters was even trembling from the impact of the blow.
Rumble!
As the mace was waved down out of thin air, circle after circle of shock waves overflowed outward with Zheng Shu as the center, invisible energy fluctuations rippled in the air, and countless fine stones on the ground were windless and automatic, scattering and flying like bullets.
"Hoo ......"
Zheng Shu gasped violently after landing on the ground, and he directly smashed all the black beetles in the range with the blow just now, leaving behind a burst of stumps, and also won a vacant space for himself to land for a short time.
However, even if it is issued with the constitution of a dragon, it costs a lot to send out the attack just now.
It's a pity that the battlefield he is on now is not a one-on-one battle, and it didn't give him a chance to breathe, and the beetle commander seized the opportunity, and a terrifying fierce light condensed in his compound eyes. With a terrible roar, Zheng Shu used his afterglow to immediately notice that a huge figure in the distance had disappeared in place, and in the next moment, the beetle commander had crossed a distance of dozens of meters and slaughtered in front of him.
Rumble!
A large amount of gravel grass clippings rushed into the sky, and the beetle commander blasted a deep pit more than ten meters in diameter in the ground with just one blow.
In the face of this blow, although Zheng Shu blocked it with a mace in a hurry, he barely braked after his feet ploughed more than ten meters on the ground.
Before Zheng Shu could stabilize his body, the beetle swarm next to him moved their arthropods, as if they were flying close to the ground, and swam quickly at a speed that did not fit their size.
Clang!
The collision horn and mace collided with each other and made a metal clash sound, and Zheng Shu once again left the place with the help of the power of the beetles attacking from behind, and dodged the impact of several beetles by the way.
Swish!
While Zheng Shu's body was still in mid-air and unable to move, the Beetle Commander appeared below Zheng Shu like a ghost. A pair of metallic daas slammed into Zheng Shu's body like a heavy hammer, and the violent energy poured into his body, and the dragon scales on Zheng Shu's body, which were harder than metal, shattered directly.
Rumble!
Zheng Shu penetrated directly into the ground like a meteorite, and the earth rippled like a liquid, spreading for dozens of meters.
During the fall, everything that stood in his way, whether it was a beetle or a tree, was directly shattered.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem! It hurts. ”
In the dust, Zheng Shu coughed and stood up, looking at the two knuckles inserted in his abdomen and grinning.
These insects are really the same as Zheng Shu's impression of the Zerg, in order to complete the goal, Zheng Shu was not afraid of death, Zheng Shu was knocked out of the way, several insects stopped on the road, trying to penetrate Zheng Shu's body.
In fact, they also succeeded, although their bodies were smashed to pieces, but before they died, they also inserted their arthropods into the place where the scales of Zheng Shu's body were shattered, so that his abdomen was now completely pierced by two sharp and slender arthropods.
"Hiss......" grinned and grinned the two arthropods, pulling them out of his abdomen stiffly, Zheng Shu looked at the blood flowing out, and showed a helpless expression, "My defense has dropped too much now......"
Glancing at the swarm of insects that surrounded him again, Zheng Shu sighed helplessly, in order not to affect the next battle, he had to expend a lot of physical strength to heal the wound in his abdomen with his rapid self-healing ability.
It's a pity that there is no concept of instant noodles in the world now, and Zheng Shu has no way to directly summon instant noodles to replenish his physical strength, so he can only save his physical strength as much as possible, and injuries such as some abrasions are simply ignored.
In the short confrontation, Zheng Shu has discovered his biggest disadvantage, that is, he is too light.
Even with the tonnage mace in his hand, Zheng Shu's weight is still smaller than that of this group of beetles, not to mention the largest beetle, even an ordinary beetle is much heavier than his body.
Although he is a god, he still has to follow the most basic laws of physics under normal circumstances, even if Zheng Shu's strength is greater than the power of the beetle, but because of the defect in weight, he suffers every time he attacks.
If it is one-on-one or the number of biters is not so large, he can rely on his fast enough speed to entangle or adjust his body posture, so as not to fight so badly.
But the problem is that now Zheng Shu's surroundings are completely surrounded by insect swarms, and there is no place to hide at all, so he can only fight these insects.
Although he had the upper hand in strength due to the two strengthenings, due to the disadvantage of his weight, he would be affected by the rebound force after each attack.
In such a group battle, the danger of losing balance is fatal.
In addition to the weight disadvantage, Zheng Shu has another huge flaw.
"The weapon is too heavy...... Zheng Shu looked at the mace in his hand, his expression was a little gloomy.
It's not that this mace is useless, in fact, if it weren't for this mace amplifying Zheng Shu's power, he wouldn't have been able to knock an ordinary beetle directly into pieces with a single blow. And according to the terrifying vitality of these bugs, if they are not killed by one hit, they will always entangle the enemy.
In such a battlefield environment, once entangled and unable to move quickly, Zheng Shu will completely lose room to resist.
In addition, he has just strengthened a new round of enhancement templates, although the increased strength is not enough, but relying on the coordination of the body, there is no problem in using this heavy weapon in terms of physical strength.
The most critical problem is that his center of gravity has been affected.
The structure of the human body determines that although it has a strong combat ability, its own center of gravity is extremely easy to deviate, and a strong man of more than 100 kilograms will be thrown to the ground by the deviation of the center of gravity of more than 10 kilograms of weapons if he is not careful.
And even if Zheng Shu's strengthened body density is extremely high, his body size has already determined that his weight will not be too high, and he estimates that his weight is only less than two hundred kilograms.
When using this mace, in order to prevent his center of gravity from being brought down by the weapon, Zheng Shu could only divide most of his strength to maintain his balance.
Again, such a flaw is acceptable in a one-on-one battle with these beetles, but in such a battlefield with a dense concentration of enemies, any time and strength are precious.
"It would be nice if I could strengthen the enhancement template of the King of the Earth and the Mountain......" Zheng Shu sighed.
I didn't feel much when I was able to use the power of the King of the Earth and the Mountain before, but since the enhancement template on his body was stripped off, Zheng Shu realized how terrifying the power of the King of the Earth and the Mountain was in the battle.
He had never considered these issues in the dragon world, because for him at that time, all the disordered forces would be transformed into his own offensive power.
Although he thought a lot in a moment, from pulling out the arthropod that pierced his abdomen to completely healing, Zheng Shu actually only took a few seconds.
But it was in such a short time that the beetles gathered again.
"Huh?" Looking at the vague figure of the approaching insect swarm, suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Zheng Shu's mind, as if he had thought of some countermeasure.
didn't have time to think about whether his method would work, Zheng Shu touched the juice of the beetle splashed on his face, wiped his palms on his clothes, and clenched his mace again with both hands to prepare for the battle.
