Transcendent Noble - Chapter 858
Dozens of alien Zerg crawled out of the underground cave. They looked like a combination of beetles, spiders, ants and Mantis. They were covered with a layer of blue crustaceans. They were slightly smaller than the alienated cat and ape. They had four pairs of arthropods. The first two pairs of arthropods were like sharp long knives, and the ends of the last two pairs of arthropods were claws. The first pair of arthropods grew on the shoulders of the upper body, Not supporting the body. Although their heads are characterized by insects composed of three pairs of compound eyes, a pair of tentacles and jaws, their upright upper body and long knife limbs like flexible arms leave an intuitive impression of wisdom.
Charlotte recognized at a glance that these insects were the most numerous Eight Legged insects in the underground cave of the azolta temple. The difference between the two was that the Eight Legged insects in the temple tunnel were undead and larger, almost twice as large as these eight legged insects.
“Be careful, they may have wisdom and talent!” Charlotte, holding a long sword of pure gold, warned loudly.
Everyone was awestruck. Undead creatures have no key and look terrible, but with more contact, we found that they are not difficult to deal with. If these eight legged insects have wisdom, they represent infinite possibilities. Even if they have no natural power, as long as they know how to fight together, they are more dangerous than undead creatures with rigid behavior.
It’s not sure whether octopus has extraordinary talent, but we all know that swarm creatures always cooperate.
Nelson shouted, “I can kill all these insects by myself, but there are more insects in the cave. They are here to test us. Don’t hurry. Let’s see if the plants planted by Tumen witch doctor work.”
Randall expedition had a plan for a long time. The main goal was to weaken Ann’s insect claws. The second was to try to “persuade” Ann to give up the nest by means reserved by Victor. If the “Persuasion” fails, the expedition will retreat quickly and leave the orcs and Assyrian witch doctors as dead ghosts.
Bulao spring is of great significance to ant people and Assyrians. If you want to rob Bulao spring and refuse to take risks, how can it be so cheap?
The human expedition has no desire in this regard. Of course, it won’t work hard for the fountain of youth to stay behind with the Gros bug. The Assyrians next to the spring are the first target to be destroyed by the swarm. Even if Randall chooses to escape, the swarm probably won’t chase them.
However, the goblins enslaved by imosen are typical. People are brave. They know that there are hundreds of ferocious beasts and four arrogant ogres on their side. When they see dozens of strange insects rushing over, they are not afraid, but open their teeth, dance their claws and shout loudly.
Imosen had to scold the big goblins in both voice and color, and ordered them to restrain bear goblins and ordinary goblins to prevent these orcs from rushing out and undermining Lord Nelson’s tactical deployment.
Under the great goblin’s rattan whip, the green dwarfs finally became honest, moved the big stones to the ogre’s feet, took their own throwing bow, and prepared to defeat the invading insects with long-range weapons.
The Eight Legged insect paddles three pairs of arthropods. It runs surprisingly fast and has good jumping power. It can jump more than two meters high. Nelson couldn’t help worrying about whether the thorn barrier created by the great witch medical spell could stop these fierce aliens.
In fact, the thorny branches of these thorns grow thick and flexible, and their roots are particularly developed and deeply rooted in the soil. Nelson tried it himself. He could feel the strong resistance when he forced through the thorns. If he wanted to pull the thorns up by roots, he had to break out 70% or 80% of the power.
Nelson’s spiritual fire has reached the highest level. He has exploded 70% or 80% of his power. Even a big stone weighing ten tons will be pushed out by him. Although beetles are born Hercules, they are far less powerful than the ferocious warriors of the golden order. With its excellent flexibility, the thorn bush can trap all the Eight Legged insects that rush in.
However, the thorns can grow to a person’s height, and the Eight Legged insects can jump in. Moreover, these insects are good at digging underground holes. They can easily dig a tunnel to break through the thorns barrier from the ground.
However, Nelson’s fears proved superfluous. Dozens of Eight Legged insects rushed to a position more than 30 meters away from the thorn barrier and stopped. They wandered around, making angry screams, but they did not dare to continue to approach, as if an invisible gap separated insects from thorns.
Nelson observed for a moment and ordered, “let the Assyrians and orcs stimulate them.”
Imosen immediately commanded his servants to attack the Eight Legged insects wandering outside from a long distance. The private soldiers of the sinau family, savage headhunters and goblins penetrate the gap between the thorns and shoot at the target with javelin, bow and arrow and throwing bow. The distance between the two sides is only 30 or 40 meters, but the long-range weapons used by the soldiers are too simple to break the defense when they shoot on the crustaceans of Eight Legged insects. Moreover, these insects are as sensitive as flies, and they can easily avoid most poisonous arrows and stones by moving and jumping.
Charlotte frowned, looked at the Eight Legged insects outside and said, “they seem to be able to sense the flow of air and dodge attacks. This is an ability that the undead Eight Legged insects do not have.”
Nelson nodded and said solemnly, “the long-range weapons of the Assyrians are weak. At present, the defense effect of the Eight Legged beetle beetle has not been measured.”
Yimosen wizard was a little unconvinced. He turned his head and shouted to the ogre barbarians. Then a stone larger than a human head roared out, like a stone bullet fired by a double string crossbow machine, which blew an eight legged insect jumping and moving into pieces.
The powerful performance of the ogre barbarians attracted everyone’s attention. They not only have brute force, but also have sharp and terrible fighting intuition. Throwing stones can accurately hit the Eight Legged insects who have nowhere to borrow when jumping in mid air.
Nelson shouted to imosen, “this can’t measure the defense of the octopus.” The wizard just shrugged his shoulders. He had four ogre barbarians and hundreds of stones. Even if the hit rate reached 30%, he could make the swarm suffer.
Seeing that their companions were smashed to pieces by stones, it was obvious that they angered the other eight legged insects. The tentacles on their heads kept shaking, and five insects rushed recklessly towards the thorns.
At first, they charged very fast, but it is puzzling that after the five insects broke into the invisible barrier, like a drunken drunkard, their actions began to become uncontrolled, and finally stumbled to the edge of the thorns.
Klaus, a senior knight, was trying to catch a bug. He suddenly found that countless roots seemed to have life. He climbed onto the Eight Legged bug and dragged it into the soil.
“The roots of thornbush are activated plants!” Klaus quickly withdrew his hand, stood up and observed the thorns around him, murmured: “I understand that the flower buds of these plants have been releasing some gas to attract and anesthetize black beetles and their metamorphoses, and the activated roots feed on these insects. It’s like…”
Brandon interface shouted: “like when we first entered the rainforest, the smelly insect eating flowers we met emit the smell of rotten corpses, attracting scavenging insects to throw themselves into the net! Ha ha, these plants are the result of natural selection and specifically restrain black insects.”
Nelson habitually rubbed his chin and said, “but they know it’s a fatal trap and can resist the temptation smell of plants. They are really intelligent. I don’t think it’s good news… You see, insects continue to test the weakness of the thorn barrier.”
Five of the same species were sacrificed, and the other eight legged insects vibrated sharp as knife’s limbs, planed humus and soil, and quickly drilled into the ground. They took out the Zerg’s housekeeping skills and planned to break through the obstacles of thorns from the ground.
Randall’s expedition had long been prepared for the insects to dig holes, but there was nothing to do when they saw the insects sneak into the ground. They did not know that the root system of mutant thorn was very developed, and its scale was more than ten times that of the aboveground part. In a sense, deep underground activated roots are the main body of mutant thorns and the main means to prey on black beetles. Activating the root system can secrete toxins, paralyze the body function of black beetles and transform them into nutrients for growth.
This is the Revenge of the forest pan consciousness. Before long, this barren land full of humus will be full of insect catching thorns.
The natural spirit spell of the great witch doctor Tumen advanced this process and formed a natural field to restrain the Zerg. The Randall expedition fought against the gross swarm in this natural field, which has a great environmental advantage.
After a long time, there was no movement from the ground. Caligula muttered, “the insects are dead.”
The crowd looked at a large area of new thorns sprouting on the ground and didn’t know what to say.
The gross swarm will not be defeated by the heart of nature so simply. The mother worm will also make adaptive reproduction and evolution. But this group of insects is the first time to meet insect eating plants cultivated by natural spirit spells, and the time is so short that they can’t make adaptive evolutionary adjustment at all.
So, the Eight Legged insects climbed out of the cave one by one, and Randall’s expedition and imosen’s servant army felt numb.
More than 400 alien insects waving sharp limbs are not a tide of insects, but they neigh and rush to the thorns together, with a momentum that makes people startle and jump. The worst thing is that the insect mother has not appeared so far, and a tragic fight is imminent.
Nelson, who had experienced the ant disaster and the bloody battle of killing demons, did not pay attention to only a few hundred insects. Instead, he wondered how these insects were going to break through the insect eating thorn barrier?
Then he saw the answer. The Eight Legged swarm vibrates the two tentacles on the top of the head at the same frequency. They are under the control of the mother insect, and the spirit can connect them together.
The swarm is a whole. The extraordinary talent of the swarm is psionics.
Next, everyone saw a scene that shocked them. Many Eight Legged insects cut off their heads with sharp arthropods in the process of charging. When the swarm approached the thorn barrier, their number had been sharply reduced by more than half, but the originally dull patterns on the surviving Eight Legged insects became bright and eye-catching. They are faster and stronger, and there is a visible ripple in the air around their heads, which is the unique spiritual power field of the gross Zerg. Although the psionic field seems weak, it is enough to help the octopus isolate the anesthetic pollen emitted by the mutant thorns.
More than two hundred eight legged insects jumped over the thorn barrier one after another and jumped at the intruders hiding behind. The four ogre barbarians threw down large stones that couldn’t be thrown out, picked up the thick trunk and roared against the insects.
The gross swarm does not reduce the total amount of psionic power due to the death of its own kind. On the contrary, the more Zerg die, the more psionic power the mother can allocate. Although the octopus is the most basic combat unit of the swarm, the death of the same kind makes the remaining insects more powerful and even releases a weak psionic field, the biggest use of psionics for octopus is to temporarily improve basic attributes.
The remaining two hundred eight legged insects have the ability to tear the ogre’s savage skin. The strong sense of fear exceeded the psychological endurance limit of the ogre barbarians, but stimulated the rage factor in their blood. The four ogre barbarians took the lead in launching a fierce counterattack against the enemy, which also immediately opened the prelude to the bloody fight.
Ogres, bear goblins, alienated violent bears, alienated cats and apes, savage headhunters and Eight Legged insects collided. Blood is spilling and the stumps are flying. Randall expeditionary army and servant army have an advantage in number and environment, but they found that the more they kill the Eight Legged insects, the more powerful they are. Originally, three alienated cats and apes can tear up the Eight Legged insects. Now it’s as easy to chop dead cats and apes as firewood.
Some Eight Legged insects with exceptionally quick dodging movements have shaken off the entanglement of their opponents and involved Randall’s expedition in the rear in close combat.
Imosen released the last 50 alienated cats and apes to meet the enemy, but they were obviously not the opponent of these eight legged insects. Nelson raised a pair of fine gold decapitation swords and said, “the rear team protects the priest and Lord imosen. The front team follows me and wants to kill all these insects as soon as possible.”
These insects have the strongest strength to survive to the end. More insects are killed in the front battlefield, and the pressure on the back line becomes greater. Maybe the surviving octopus can hurt two casters. On the contrary, the expedition will kill all the insects on the back line, and the servants in front will consume the last stronger insects.
Nelson didn’t intend to delay any more. The gold decapitation sword in his hand waved a circle of circular sword light and instantly cut off six Eight Legged insects. Others have their own gains. It is thought that Todd, the weakest swordsman, is particularly eye-catching today. He walked around, and 7 or 8 straight sword lights were sprinkled in his hand. The speed was so fast that it seemed that he had several arms. The blade was close to the edge of the alienated cat and ape’s body and stabbed two alien insects in succession. He didn’t hurt the alienated cat and ape he used as a meat shield.
Tao De’s sword has a God, and his fast sword is unparalleled. His skill of tempering makes him give his opponent the greatest damage with the least strength and the fastest speed. Even if the senior bronze knight is not careful, he will be folded under his sword. He killed eight legged insects second only to Nelson, even the red wolf and Klaus.
Unfortunately, Todd doesn’t have the fighting intuition of the red wolf, nor can he perceive the changes of elements in a small range like Klaus. Todd pierced the chest, neck and head of the fifth Eight Legged insect, cut off two sharp limbs, and turned to kill the next target. However, the insect that should have been killed didn’t die and rushed towards Todd’s back.
“Be careful!”
The sword maid guarding Todd’s left wing knocked her master away in time, but her waist was cut a deep wound by the octopus.
The sword light flashed over the body of the Eight Legged insect. Todd broke the insect with a sword, took the seriously injured sword maid out of the battlefield, gave it to Marcy who came from behind, and then returned to continue the fight.
In the fierce battle, death and injury are inevitable. Nelson killed all the Eight Legged insects that burst into the rear line, and the servants in the front battle are in a mess.
The lines on the last few insects’ shells were bright and glowing. Their movements were as fast as the wind. They killed the soldiers and cried and howled. The huge alienated violent bears and ogre barbarians have nothing to do with them. Instead of using wisdom to guide and control the alienated violent bear, the Emerson wizard preserved his strength and prepared to deal with the strong enemies behind him.
Nelson first rushed into the front battlefield and killed all the Eight Legged insects that could reach the silver level. The last eight legged insect even persisted under his sword for a few seconds before it was cut into four pieces by the refined gold decapitation sword.
As soon as the battle was over, the dissimilated violent bear and the dissimilated cat and ape immediately lay on the ground, devouring the flesh and blood of the corpse regardless of the enemy and ourselves. More than a dozen bear goblins died, Assyrian slave soldiers and savage headhunters also suffered many casualties, and even the beast spirit warrior sinu lost an arm; The four ogre barbarians were covered with bloody wounds, but their vitality was extremely tenacious and could recover soon.
Nelson looked, grabbed the broken arm, pressed sinau toward the wound, and said to him in harsh Assyrian, “you, take people, go back and drink the spring.”
Sinau immediately threw away his broken arm, bowed deeply to Nelson in imitation of human habits, turned to the private soldier and said a few Assyrian words, then left his companion and hurried to the fountain of youth. The rest of the Assyrians carried the wounded and retreated slowly.
When Nelson saw this scene, he disdained to spit on the ground. His evaluation of sinau was that although he fought bravely, he was too selfish and cold-blooded.
At this time, the people of the back team came over with Emerson and Dane, and Charlotte raised her eyebrows at Nelson.
Nelson nodded solemnly in his eyes and said, “it’s coming out.”
In the distance, at the mouth of the underground cave, more than 20 Eight Legged insects surrounded by the huge mother insects climbed out of the tunnel. It is about 3.7 meters high and 6 meters long. Its whole body is wrapped by a white shell, covered with bright purple lines. There are three pairs of strong and sharp arthropods under its fat abdomen. Although its upper body is close to human shape and has a pair of slender arms, its head is completely in the form of insects, with mouthparts and a circle of dark red compound eyes.
Charlotte could hardly find the trace of the high ant man ANN on the behemoth. But with the approaching of the insect mother, the air rippled layer upon layer, and the invisible force field repelled the gravel and broken rattan. The dual pressure from the mind and reality forced Charlotte to step back.
With the exception of Nelson and Caligula, the rest of the expedition was a little shaky.
Dane clenched the sacred crystal in his hand and without hesitation blessed Caligula with a fifth level divine skill – divine protection. After the battle between the expeditionary army and the war Ant King, Dane often regretted that he had blessed the Dragon maiden puleira and Caligula with divine shelter at that time. Together, they might not lose to the war Ant King. Unfortunately, he used a divine shelter on imosen. The wizard manipulated Philip II to intercept the war Ant King alone. Dane had no third divine shelter for Caligula, Finally, Ms. Leila fell into the hands of the Ant King.
Dane won’t make the same mistake again. As long as Caligula can contain the worm, his last divine shelter will be displayed to Lord Nelson in five minutes.
A group of white gold runes appeared in the void in front of kariagula, and his eyes also crossed the White Gold holy light. Holding a long handle heavy hammer, he took a step towards gross worm mother and shouted, “aka, I’m not afraid of you!”
Ann stopped in place. When a tall man stepped on the ground, it had the illusion of shaking the earth and mountains. Although psionics instantly dispels this illusion, it does not want to face too dangerous enemies in person.
Since entering the secret forest, Ann followed the orders of the queen ant man and found this spiritual blood spring with the instinct of the Zerg. She mutated into gross worm mother, and her psionic power has increased more than ten times. Ann feels that he is now the most powerful high ant man. Even if the war Ant King apolis is reborn, he will not be his opponent. However, mother Gros is the core of the swarm and will never take part in the battle in person unless it is absolutely necessary. She firmly believes that she is still a female of higher ant man, and she can’t resist the instinctive nature of gross worm mother.
However, there is no male around the new gross worm mother, which can only produce the most primary gross worm unit. When these invaders arrived, they wiped out the swarm of insects that had multiplied with great difficulty, leaving only more than 20 guard insects. They are clearly not opponents of the invaders. If you just give up the spirit blood spring and find another place to build a nest, Ann will not be reconciled. It waved its arms impatiently, and the huge psionic field made the stones around it float.
Charlotte saw each other’s hesitation. According to Victor’s instructions, she stretched out her left hand to the suspected mother Grosse, shook it into a fist, raised her thumb, and said its name in ancient language: “Ann.”
The female Knight’s seemingly inadvertent action immediately activated the hint seed hidden in Ann’s heart. Its hostility disappeared, her eyes fell on Charlotte, the psychic field retracted her body, and her action gracefully bowed her knees and said, “I’m Ann… Did your highness Randall ask you to teach me?”
Charlotte couldn’t understand Ann’s ancient language. She winked at the wizard next to her.
Imosen calmed down and opened his mouth according to the previous arrangement: “Ann, the descendants of the Assyrian Empire are organizing a strong army to rob the fountain of youth here and are determined to destroy you and your insects. Please leave here as soon as possible and build your nest in a farther and more secret place. If there is any new news, we will inform you.”
Ann felt that his highness Randall’s messenger was friendly, kind and trustworthy. He nodded without hesitation and said, “I see. I’ll leave now and hope to see you again.”
Gross’s mother with her guard turned and walked towards the rainforest. When her back was about to disappear, the newly awakened Tumen witch doctor ran over and was about to cry out: “what’s that?”
Only a syllable came out of his throat. Nelson swayed to the big witch doctor, covered his mouth very rudely, and blocked the rest of the words.
It was not until the mother gross disappeared into the dense rain forest that pastor Dane came over and scolded the witch doctor Tumen in harsh Assyrian: “you almost killed all of us… By the way, who are you?”
