Chapter 858

Dozens of alien insect race crawled out of the hole. They looked like a combination of beetles, spiders, ants, and praying mantises. They were covered with a layer of azure carapace, and their size was more alienated. The cat ape is slightly smaller, with four pairs of articulated limbs. The first two pairs of articulated limbs are like sharp long knives, and the end of the latter two pairs of articulated limbs are hook claws. The first pair of limbs is on the shoulders of the upper body and does not support the body. Although their heads have the Insect feature consisting of three pairs of compound eyes, a pair of tentacles, and a large jaw, their upright upper body and the pair of long knife limbs that resemble flexible arms leave an intuitive impression of this species of wisdom.

Charlotte recognized these insects as the most numerous octopods in the caves of the Azores Temple. The difference between the two is that the octopods in the tunnels of the temple are undying creatures. It's also bigger, almost twice the size of the living octopods.

"Be careful, they may have wisdom and Innate Ability!" Charlotte reminded loudly, holding a long sword of fine gold.

Everyone is heart shivered with cold. Undying creatures are not critical, they seem terrifying, but with more contact, everyone finds that they are not difficult to deal with. If these octopods have intelligence, they represent infinite possibilities. Even if they don’t have the innate talent power, as long as they know how to fight cooperatively, it’s better. Undying creatures with dull behavior are even more dangerous.

Whether octopods have extraordinary innate talents is still uncertain, but everyone understands the principle that group creatures will always cooperate.

Nelson loudly said: "These insects, I can kill them all by myself, but there are more insects in the hole that haven’t come out. They are here to test us, don’t worry. Let’s start, let’s see if the plant pipes planted by Witch Doctor in Tumen do not work."

The Randal expedition has a plan. The main goal is to weaken the minions of Ann, and the second is to use the means reserved by Victor. Try to "persuade" Ann to give up the lair. If the "persuasion" fails, the expedition will quickly retreat, leaving the orcs and the Assyrian Witch Doctor as a substitute for the dead.

Eternal Youth Spring is of great significance to Ant-Man and Assyrians. If you want to snatch Eternal Youth Spring but refuse to take risks, how can there be such a cheap thing?

The human expedition team does not have this desire, and of course it will not stay and fight for Eternal Youth Spring and Gross Insect Empress. The Assyrian talent next to the spring is the first target for the insect swarm to be eliminated. Even if Randal chooses to escape, the insect swarm will most likely not chase them.

However, Imerson’s enslaved goblins are typical of how bold people are. They know that they have hundreds of brutal wild beasts and four arrogant ogre. When they see dozens of strange things The insect rushed over, not only not afraid, but baring fangs and brandishing claws, loudly clamoring.

Imerson had to scold the hobgoblins with all his might, ordering them to restrain the bear goblins and ordinary goblins to prevent these orcs from charging ahead and destroying Lord Nelson's tactical deployment.

Under the hobgoblin’s vine whip, the green-skinned dwarfs finally became honest, moved the big rocks to the feet of ogre, took their bows, and prepared to use long-range weapons to crush the invading insects. group.

The octopod strokes three pairs of arthropods, runs amazingly fast, has good jumping ability, and can jump more than two meters high. Nelson couldn't help worrying whether the thorn barrier that the Great Witch Doctor spawned with spell-like could stop these aggressive alien worms.

In fact, the thorny branches of these thorn bushes grow thick and flexible, and their roots are particularly developed, deeply pierced in the soil, and are connected as a whole. Nelson tried it personally. He could feel the resistance of forcibly through the thorn bushes. If he wanted to pull the thorn bushes by the roots, he had to burst out with 70% or 80% of the strength.

Nelson’s spiritual fire has reached the highest realm, and 70% to 80% of his burst of power will be lifted by him even if a large stone weighing ten tons is reached. Although beetle-like creatures are born strong men, but in terms of strength emission skill, they are far inferior to the fierce warrior of the golden rank. With its excellent flexibility, the thorn bush can completely trap all the octopods that rush in.

However, thorn bushes can grow to a person's height, and octopods can jump in. Moreover, these insects are good at digging holes. They can dig a tunnel with no difficulty, breaking through the thorn barrier from the ground.

However, Nelson’s worries proved to be unnecessary. Dozens of octopods rushed to a position more than 30 meters away from the thorn barrier and stopped. They hovered left and right, screaming in anger, but didn't dare to continue to approach, as if there was an invisible gap separating the insect and the thorns.

Nelson observed for a while, ordered: "Let the Assyrians and orcs stimulate them to take a look."

Imerson immediately commanded the servants to attack and wander around outside. Octopods. Sinu's private soldiers, savage headhunters, and goblins penetrate the gap between the thorn bushes and use javelins, bows, and bows to shoot at the target. The distance between the two sides is only three or forty meters, but the long-range weapons of the servants are too simple and can not break the defense when shooting on the carapace of the octopod, and these insects are as sensitive as flies, and they can easily avoid most poisonous by jumping. Arrow and stones.

Charlotte frowned, looked at the octopods outside, and said: "They seem to be able to sense the flow of air and dodge attacks while moving. This is something that undying creatures do not possess. Ability."

Nelson nodded, with a serious expression, said: "The Assyrians' long-range weapons are weak and weak, and the defensive effect of the octopod beetle cannot be measured at present."

Imerson wizard was a little unconvinced, turned his head and yelled a few words to the ogre barbarians, and then a stone larger than a human head whistled and flew out, just like a stone bullet fired by a double-string crossbow machine, and one was jumping. The horizontally moving octopods blasted into pieces in the air.

The powerful performance of the ogre barbarians attracted everyone's attention. They not only have brute force, but also have a keen sense of fighting. Throwing stones can accurately hit the octopods that are jumping in midair and have nowhere to leverage.

Nelson yelled to Imerson: "This cannot detect the defensive power of the octopod." The wizard is just a shrugged bladder. He has four ogre savages and a few hundred stones. 30%, can also make the insects suffer.

Seeing that the companion was smashed to pieces by a rock, it obviously angered the other octopods. The tentacles on their heads kept shaking, and there were five insects dash on bravely with no thought of personal safety. Sprint towards the thorn bushes.

At first, they charge very fast, but what is puzzling is that after these five insects rushed into the invisible barrier, they looked like drunk drunks, their actions became uncontrollable, and finally staggered. The ground is planted to the edge of the thorn bushes.

Senior Knight Klaus was about to grab an insect and suddenly found that countless roots seemed to be alive. They climbed onto the octopod and dragged it into the soil.

"The roots of the thorn bushes are activated plants!" Klaus hurriedly shrank his hands, stood up to observe the thorns all around, muttered: "I understand, the buds of these plants have been releasing some kind of gas, attracting And anesthetize the black beetles and their metamorphosis. The activated roots feed on this type of insect. It's like..."

Brandon said in interface: "Like when we first entered the rainforest, The fetid insectivorous flowers that I encountered exude a carrion-like smell, attracting rot-eating Insect walking right into a trap! haha, these plants are the result of natural selection, which specifically restrains black insects."

Sen habitually rubbed his chin, and said, "But they know that this is a deadly trap that can resist the temptation smell of plants. They do have wisdom. I don't think this is good news... Look, the insect is still trying The weakness of the thorn barrier."

We sacrificed five octopods of the same species, and the remaining octopods vibrated their sharp-knife limbs, shoveling away the humus and soil, and digging into the ground quickly. They used the housekeeping skills of the insect race, intending to break through the obstacles of the thorn bushes underground.

The Randal expedition has long been mentally prepared for the swarm to dig a hole, but watching the insect dive into the ground, it is still helpless. They didn't know that the root system of the mutant thorns was very developed, and the scale was ten times that of the above-ground part. In a sense, the activated root system deep underground is the main body of the mutant thorns and the main means of preying on black beetles. The activated root system can secrete toxins, paralyze the body functions of black beetles, and transform them into nutrients needed for growth.

This is the revenge of the forest's pan-consciousness. It won't be long before this Desolate Land full of humus will be covered with insect-catching thorns.

The natural spirit spell of Witch Doctor Tumen advances this process and forms a natural field that restrains the insect race. The Randal expedition team fights against the Gros Swarm in this natural field, and has a very large environmental advantage.

After a while, there was no movement from the underground, and Caligula muttered: "The insect is dead."

Everyone looked at the ground and a large area appeared. The new shoots of thorns do not know what to say.

The Gros Swarm will not be defeated by the heart of nature so easily, the insect mother will also make adaptive reproduction and evolution. It's just that this group of insects is the first time they have encountered insectivorous plants cultivated by natural spirit spells, and the time is so short, they are fundamentally impossible to make adaptive evolutionary adjustments.

So, the octopods crawled out of the hole one by one, and the Randal expedition and Imerson's servants saw their scalp numb.

More than 400 alien worms with sharp arthropods are not considered worms, but they neighed and rushed to the thorn bushes together, in a shocking imposing manner of their own. The worst thing is that the worm mother has not appeared until now, and a tragic fight is already in sight.

Nelson, who has experienced the ant plague and the bloody battle of killing demons, did not put the trifling hundreds of insects in his eyes. Instead, he was curious about how these insects are going to break through the insectivorous thorn barrier?

Then he saw the answer. The octopod swarm trembles the two tentacles on the top of the head with the same frequency. They are under the control of the worm mother, and the psychic energy connects them together.

The swarm is a whole. The extraordinary innate talent of Insect Swarm is psionic energy.

Next, everyone saw a scene that shocked them extremely. Many octopods used sharp arthropods to chop off their heads in the process of charging. When the worms approached the thorn barrier, their number had dropped by more than half, but the octopods that survived had a dim pattern on their bodies. Become bright and eye-catching. They are faster and stronger, and the air around their heads has a layer of ripples visible by naked eye, which is the unique spiritual power field of Gros's insect race. Although the psychic power field looks weak, it is enough to help the octopod isolate the mutant thorns and numb the pollen.

More than two hundred octopods jumped over the thorn barrier one after another and rushed towards the intruder hiding behind. The four-headed ogre barbarians threw down the big rocks that were too late to throw, and took up the thick tree trunks, roaring against the swarms of insects.

Gross swarm will not reduce the total amount of psionic energy due to the death of the same kind. On the contrary, the more insect races die, the more psychic energy the insect mother can allocate. Although the octopod is the most basic combat unit of the insect swarm, the death of the same kind makes the remaining insects stronger and even releases a weak field of psychic power, but the biggest use of psionic energy for the octopod is to temporarily increase the basic attribute. .

The remaining two hundred octopods already have the ability to tear Ogre's wild skin. The strong sense of fear exceeds the psychological endurance of the ogre barbarians, and instead stimulates the violent factor in their bloodline. The four-headed ogre barbarians took the lead in launching a fierce counterattack against the enemy, and instantly kicked off the bloody fight.

ogre, the bear goblin, the alienated violent bear, the alienated cat and ape, the savage headhunter, and the eight-legged swarm collided. With blood spattering and stumps flying around, Randal's expeditionary army and servants have the advantage in number and environment, but they found that the octopods were killed more and more powerful. The octopods that could be shredded by three alienated cats and apes, now Chopping a cat ape to death is as easy as chopping wood.

Some octopods with extremely agile evasion movements have already shaken off the entanglement of their opponents, and involved the Randal expedition at the rear into the fight at close quarters.

Imerson released the last 50 alienated cats and apes out to meet the enemy, but they are obviously not the opponents of this batch of octopods. Nelson raised a pair of fine gold beheading swords and greeted: "The rear team protects the priest and Your Excellency Imerson, the front team follows me, and we must kill all these insects as soon as possible."

These insects The strength to survive to the end is the strongest. If the front battlefield kills more insects, the pressure on the back line becomes greater. Maybe the surviving octopods can hurt two sorcerers. On the contrary, the expedition will kill all the insects on the back line, and the servants fighting in the front will consume the last stronger insects.

Nelson didn't intend to continue to delay. The fine gold decapitation sword in his hand swung a circle of sword light, instantly cutting off the six octopods. Others have their own gains, and everyone thinks that the weakest Swordsman Todd performed particularly eye-catching today. His footsteps turned continuously, and 7 or 8 straight sword lights spewed out in his hand. The speed was so fast that he had a few arms. The sword edge stuck to the edge of the alienated cat’s body and stabbed 2 alien worms in succession. He didn't hurt the alienated cat ape he used as a meat shield.

There is a god in the Tao De Sword. The skill of Jian Wushuang, thousands hammers, hundred refinements allows him to give his opponent the most damage with the smallest strength and the fastest speed. Even if the veteran bronze Knight is careless, he will lose Under his sword. The octopod he killed was second only to Nelson, even the Red Wolf and Klaus were inferior to him.

Unfortunately, Todd doesn't have the red wolf's fighting instinct, and he doesn't feel like Klaus can slightly perceive elemental changes in a small area. Todd pierced the chest, neck, and head of the fifth octopod, chopped off two sharp limbs, and turned to kill the next target. However, the insect that was supposed to be killed was not dead, and rushed towards Todd's back.

"Be careful!"

The sword-wielding maid who was guarding Todd's left wing knocked her master away in time, but her waist was cut with a deep wound by an octopus.

Unrolled bolt of white silk-like sword light swept across the body of the octopod, Todd shot the insect with hate, severing the insect with one sword, holding the severely wounded sword maid withdrawing from the battlefield, and giving it to Marcy rushed over from behind, and then returned to continue fighting.

In the fierce battle, death and injury are inevitable. Nelson killed all the octopods that broke into the back line, and the servant army fighting in the front was already dead and wounded.

The lines on the last few insect carapace are bright and glowing, and their movements are swift as the wind, killing the servant army wail like ghosts and howl like wolves. The huge alienated bears and ogre barbarians have nothing to do with them. The Imerson wizard did not use wisdom to control the alienated bears, but instead saved the strength to prepare to deal with the powerful enemies behind.

Nelson took the lead in rushing into the front battlefield, killing all the octopods that could reach the silver rank. The last octopod even held on under his sword for a few seconds before being refined. The golden beheading sword was chopped into four pieces.

As soon as the battle was over, the bloody alienated violent bear and alienated cat and ape immediately lay on the ground, devouring the flesh and blood of the corpse regardless of the enemy. More than a dozen bear goblins all died in battle. Assyrian soldiers and savage headhunters also suffered a lot of casualties. Even the beast spirit warrior Sinu lost an arm; the four ogre barbarians had bloody wounds all over their bodies, but they His vitality is extremely tenacious, and it won’t take long to recover.

Nelson glanced at Sinu who grabbed the broken arm and pressed against the wound, and said to him in blunt Assyrian: "You, take someone, go to the back and drink the spring water."

Sinu immediately threw off his severed arm and bowed deeply to Nelson imitating the habit of humans, turned his head and said a few Assyrian words to the private soldier, then left his companion and hurried to Eternal Youth Spring. The remaining Assyrians carried the seriously wounded and slowly retreated.

Seeing this scene, Nelson spit on the ground disdainfully. His evaluation to Sinu was that although he was fighting bravely, he was too selfish and cold-blooded.

At this time, people from the back team came over to protect Imerson and Dane, and Charlotte raised an eyebrow at Nelson.

Nelson nodded solemnly: "It's coming out."

At the entrance of the ground hole in the distance, more than 20 octopods are crawling around the huge worm mother. Out of the tunnel. It is about 3.7 meters high and 6 meters long. It is surrounded by a white carapace and covered with bright purple lines. It has three pairs of sturdy and sharp limbs under its bloated abdomen. Although the upper body is close to a human shape, it still has a pair of slender. The arm, but its head is completely Insect shape, with mouthparts and a circle of dark red compound eyes.

It is difficult for Charlotte to find the traces of the high-level Ant-Man An from this huge monster. But as the worm mother approached, the air rippled layer by layer, and the invisible force field repelled gravel and broken vines. The dual pressure from the mind and reality forced Charlotte back half a step.

Except for Nelson and Caligula, the rest of the expedition was a little unstable.

Dane clenched the sacred relic crystal in his hand and gave Caligula the fifth-order divine technique—sacred refuge without hesitation. After the expeditionary army fought against the war ant king, Dane often regretted that he gave the dragon maid Laila and Caligula both blessed the sacred refuge at the time. They might not lose to the war ant king if they joined forces. It is a pity that he used a sacred refuge. In Imerson's body, the wizard manipulated Philip II to intercept the war ant king alone and failed. Dane no longer had a third sacred shelter for Caligula, which eventually caused Ms. Laila to fall into the hands of the ant king.

Dane will not make the same mistake again. As long as Caligula can contain Insect Empress for 5 minutes, his last sacred refuge will be cast on Lord Nelson.

A group of white golden runes appeared in the void in front of Caligula, and his eyes crossed the white golden holy light. Holding a heavy hammer with a long handle, he took a step towards the Gros bug mother , Shouted loudly: "Aka, I am not afraid of you!"

Stopping on the spot, when a tall human stepped on the ground, it produced the illusion of The earth shook and the mountain quivered. Although the psychic energy erased this illusion in an instant, it did not want to face too dangerous enemies in person.

Since entering the Secret Realm forest, Ann followed the instructions of the Queen of Ant-Man and found this spiritual blood spring with the instinct of insect race, mutated into the Gros insect mother, and her spiritual power has increased more than ten times. . Ann felt that he was already the most powerful high-ranking Ant-Man, even if the war ant king Apolis was reborn, he would not be his opponent. But the worm mother Gross is the core of the swarm, and she will never take part in the battle personally before as a last resort. Ann stubbornly believes that she is still a higher ant-man female, and she can't resist the instinctive nature of the Gros bug mother.

It happens that this newly promoted Gros insect mother has no males around it, so it can only produce the most primary level Gros insect race unit. And these invaders arrived and wiped out the insect swarm that it multiplied with great difficulty, leaving only more than 20 guard insects. They are obviously not opponents of the invaders. If you just give up the spiritual blood spring and find another place to build a nest, Ann will not be reconciled. It waved its arms irritably, and the huge spiritual power field made the rocks around it float.

Charlotte saw the other party’s hesitation. According to Victor’s instructions, she stretched out her left hand to the suspected Ann Gros bug mother, clenched her fist, raised her little thumb, and said in ancient Chinese Its name: "Ann."

Dame's seemingly inadvertent action immediately activates the suggestive seeds lurking deep in An's mind. Its hostility disappears, and his eyes fall on Charlotte's body, the field of spiritual power. She retracted her body, bowed her knees and saluted gracefully: "I am Ann... Did your Royal Highness Randal let you teach me?" The wizard winked.

Imerson made up his mind, according to the pre-arrangement, said: "Ann, the descendants of the Assyrian Empire are organizing a powerful army, ready to come here to snatch the Eternal Youth Spring, and are determined to destroy you and you The swarm of insects. Please leave here as soon as possible and build a nest in a farther and more hidden place. If there is new news, we will notify you."

An only thinks His Royal Highness Randal’s messenger is friendly and kind, Trustworthy, it is nodded without the slightest hesitation and said: "I understand, I will leave now, hoping to see you again."

The mother Gros turned and walked towards the rainforest with the guard insect. Go, when its back was about to disappear, the Witch Doctor Tumen, who had just awakened, ran over and was about to exclaim, "What is that?"

Only a syllable came out of his throat. Nelson swayed to the side of the Great Witch Doctor, covered his mouth very rudely, and blocked the rest of the words.

Until the bug mother Gross disappeared in the dense rain forest, Pastor Dane walked over and scolded Doctor Tumen Witch in a blunt Assyrian language: "You almost killed us all... …By the way, who are you?"
