Chapter 284 Cerebral worm Sass
This vast subterranean cavern is supported by crimson earth and solid rock walls, and thousands of flesh-colored worm mantles several feet long hang from the cave dome, like pulsating, blue intestines.

Between the hanging veils are black voids of different sizes, inside which are many inverted triangles emitting scarlet light, which are different dragons that are peeping at the intruders.

The inside of the cave is full of deep purple creeps and some kind of blackened mold, like the skin of a rotten apple. A large number of squirming, pulsating red intestines spread out on the ground, like densely packed red worms. Earthworms or densely woven spider webs.

Stepping on these thick creeping creeps feels like walking in a viscous jelly-like fluid, the viscous jelly like glue on a sticky flyboard.Augustus felt like he was walking in the mud of the swamp, and every time he raised his foot, he would make an uncomfortable thumping sound.

The Protoss troops led by the Sagas High Templar are still battling the huge and ferocious Toyaskri, dozens of shining blades of light glow in the dark, and psionic blades burn The hiss of the air and the echoes of the monster's earth-shattering roar echoed from the cavern's rocky walls.

"...what is this, it's stuck to my iron boots!" Tychus was still concerned about other things at this point.

"It looks like some kind of feces. I mean, zerg shit." Hanak turned on the flamethrower on his firebat power armor, and the raging flames immediately lit up the way ahead.

"It's supposed to be the excrement of the zerg. They hunt other creatures away from the nest and the creep." Kerrigan said. "You all know that the zerg also eat people."

"Watch overhead!" Augustus yelled over the comm channel.

The different dragons hiding in the dome of the cave and the different dragon spiers left their lairs screaming, and the flying creatures with wingspans comparable to fighter jets hovered above the heads of Augustus and the others, with the sound of flapping their wings. .

The troops led by Augustus are the best of the best. Each of these brave and fearless fighters is a tough guy who has never changed his face in the war against the Zerg. They are well-equipped and shoulder Back-to-air missile launchers, and a large number of heavy machine gun squads, equipped with amazingly powerful D-7 explosives and geomagnetic grenades.

When Augustus gave the order, the soldiers under him immediately began to advance in units of squads and three-man fire teams, keeping a distance from each other, and the oldest medical soldiers followed the advancing team. They all concentrated on the weapons in their hands and the alien monsters they faced.

When the hovering Mutalisks dropped the deadly symbiotic blade bugs, about a hundred missiles with locking functions began to lift into the air, screaming flying creatures scattered to avoid the launching missiles, and the most unfortunate ones had already Blown to flying fragments.

There were still a few jumping symbiotic blade worms that landed among the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army of Augustus, and the acid and chemicals produced by the violent explosion melted the human soldiers in alloy power armor in an instant.

"Prepare to activate the psychic jammer." Several Revolutionary Army engineers under heavy protection immediately started to activate the assembled psychic jammer under the order of Augustus.

Engineers also wear crimson power armor, and it doesn't take much effort to use these heavy armors, because most of the damaged power armor is repaired by the Revolutionary Army Engineer Corps.

The Hydra Hydralisks and Springtails on the ground have been killed by the Protoss Templar, so the pressure on the Revolutionary Army is much less.

In this cave, the one that gives people a great sense of oppression is still the huge ultra-thunder beast with dark red skin and a stronger carapace.Templars in shining golden armor surrounded the ultralisk like hunters surrounding a wild beast.

The Toyask Leimon is much bigger than the normal Ultralisk, like a walking building, and the height of its huge crest even passes through 150 feet (about 45 meters), really like a moving mountain.

Such a monster can completely ignore the spike bullets of the Gauss rifle, and perhaps only a large-caliber shipboard railgun can hurt it.The Toyask Ray is currently the largest and deadliest of the Zerg terrestrial creatures.

At this moment, the Toyask Raymon is trying to crush the surrounding Protoss Templars with its huge size and arc-shaped scythe capable of tearing apart the Arc Light Tank, but those protoss warriors with strong skills can withstand it every time. It can dodge its deadly blows, but only one mistake can kill it.

And every swing of the protoss templar's psionic blade can leave a bloodstain on the toyaskray beast's leg, but this can only increase the monster's rage.

Even though its size is already so huge, the Toyask Leimon's movements can be described as swift, and it can quickly respond to attacks from all directions and fight back.Even if every protoss templar is a seasoned and powerful fighter, it is still dangerous to deal with this giant beast.

From time to time, protoss templars were swept by scythes, and their plasma shields could not hold up under such a large impact.

"Help them?" Tychus asked Augustus.

"Guard the psionic disruptor, and leave the rest to the Protoss," Augustus said.

That toascream beast was far from what the 200 soldiers of Augustus could handle. To deal with this terrifying monster, the giant ship's heavy artillery had to be used.Even the protoss use their beam-focused weapons against ultralisks, and only the strongest templars can combine to kill an ordinary ultralisk.

This cave should be a central hub closer to the main hive area, connected to at least twelve different worm paths.As if sensing the human intention to activate the psychic disruptor, a large number of Garm swarms are pouring out from other insect passages.

Fortunately, the support of the protoss was also very fast. The unique Kara mind link network of the Al protoss allowed them to exchange information within a very short period of time. The entrance of the underground passage came.

The High Templars of Tassadar lead their armies, and the gold-and-blue walkers with their four agile walking legs thrive in the narrow subterranean caverns, navigating the uneven cavernous hollows and lowlands with ease.

A large number of Zerg and Protoss are fighting each other in this cave, Templar and Zergling and Ultralisk wrestle, and Protoss Dragon Knight uses the phase tear cannon and Hydra on the top of its mech in the dark environment Hydralisks shoot at each other.All of a sudden, the entire cave was filled with brilliant blue sparks and splashing acid.

The soldiers of Augustus, on the other hand, were under the full protection of the protoss, and the proud protoss did not allow their human allies to be threatened by the zerg.

Augustus and his elite guard guard the activated psionic disruptors placed between them, while the rest of the soldiers are using rifles, grenades, flamethrowers, individual missiles and enhanced Ky-Morian HE Grenade knocks back enemies that try to get close - both on the ground and in the sky.

"Sarah, concentrate, I believe that Sass, the brain worm of the Gam swarm, must be nearby." Augustus strengthened his previous judgment, and this place is close enough to where the brain worm is. , which must be one of the reasons why these zerg can become so crazy.

"It's too noisy here." When Sarah Kerrigan heard what Augustus said, she concentrated on sensing the psionic signals of the possible Zerg cerebrates, and the Protoss often called this state meditation.

"Almost a thousand protoss shouted simultaneously in their psychic links, and they possessed enough psychic power to sweep the city." Kerrigan did what Augustus told her to do as best she could, and her beautiful Eyebrows were knit together in pain.

"Uh——I sensed it, and it's in that direction." After sensing in silence for more than ten minutes, Kerrigan suddenly pointed forward, which was the entrance of a cave guarded by the Toyask Leimon.

"The protoss must have noticed it too."

Usually, the number of toyas kray is very rare, they often only appear in the main hive area and are directly controlled by the cerebrates.Under normal circumstances, the cerebrates would only send out these terrifying guards when they thought they were under direct threat.

Where this kind of thunder beast appears, it means that the brain worm is not far away.

The time to wait for the psychic disruptor to activate became extremely long, but fortunately Augustus' troops persisted until the moment it activated.

It's just that when the invisible force field of the disruptor spreads in all directions, its effect is greatly weakened compared to the one in the city of Ansardar.Only a relatively small number of Zergs were affected, but their frantic appearance was not much different from usual.

"Damn it, why doesn't this thing work." Tychus knew that as long as the psychic jammer was activated, even the charging zerg would turn around and attack their own kind: "Are we moving this iron?" Either it bumped into something, or the Swann guys got it wrong."

"I think it's because it's too close to the cerebrate, and our psychic disruptor isn't strong enough to overwhelm the psychic power of this cerebrate." Augustus saw all this in his eyes : "There is only one reason, and that is that the psychic power of this brain worm is too strong."

"Cerebrates are rare species with powerful psychic powers among Zergs. If you think about it, you will know that the more Zergs that control the Zergs, the more powerful their spiritual power will be." He said to Kai beside him. Regan said.

"Record it, let Swan re-evaluate the value and risk of this weapon, and try to launch a project to enhance the energy output level of the psionic disruptor."

Although the number of Garm swarms is not as large as the Yermungard swarms that invaded the two planets in the Sara galaxy, they are also a branch of the Zerg's hive that is responsible for the main strike.

If only the human side breaks into this underground cave, then the army that bet on the psychic disruptor is likely to be completely wiped out, and Augustus will definitely not be able to take the risk himself.

Psionic disruptors do have an effect after all, though, and even a single uncontrolled zerg out of formation can cause a great deal of chaos.And the brain worms of the Gam swarm dealt with such uncontrollable individuals extremely simply and rudely—destroy them together as enemies.

The protoss army firmly gained the upper hand in the confrontation with the swarm. Amid the bursts of blue glare and the psionic storms released, the zerg that kept appearing were swept down piece by piece.At the same time, there were still a large number of zerg pouring out from the entrances of each wormway, as if they couldn't kill them all.

More high-ranking templars joined the siege of the toyaskray beasts, their powerful psychic powers come from the precipitation of centuries of deep meditation.

Every high-ranking templar is the most outstanding among the guardians of El, and they are templars who have reached another level in the way of Kara. They are fighters who are proficient in hand-to-hand combat. Is the pinnacle of the master.

Hundreds of golden-blue dragon knight mechas also started to fire at the roaring Toyask Lei Beast, blasting this huge and ferocious crimson monster to pieces.

A blue arc of light surrounds the Toyask Thunder Beast, and a dozen high-ranking templars are releasing their powerful spiritual energy to the Thunder Beast, which is powerful enough to penetrate the carapace.

Even so, the Toyask Lei Beast still persisted for more than 20 minutes under the onslaught of the protoss troops.When it died, the carapace on its body had been scorched and carbonized, and the roar of falling was like a building collapsing.

After the fall, the body of the Toyask Ray beast was still starting to cocoon and heal. Augustus even suspected that if no one continued to deal with the body, it would even be resurrected, but the protoss quickly used them. The late golden beetle completely smashed the Thunder Beast's body.

Then the Protoss rushed into the tunnel guarded by the Toascremon, and Augustus led the soldiers to follow them.

When passing the corpse of the Thunder Beast, everyone was amazed at the giant skeleton comparable to the Tyrador Dragon King Whale.But you must know that Ultralisk is only an animal that lives on land, which means that its skeleton must be strong enough to withstand the heavy pressure of its body and organs.

The cave guarded by the toyaskrai was connected to a larger cavern, which contained only walls covered with damp deposits and tumors, and festered tissue on the ground, with some kind of foul-smelling pus flowing inside.

Augustus passed among the Templars, and suddenly found that they were surrounded by a glowing Zerg creature.

What made Augustus feel horrified was that the zerg was surrounded by a bunch of computer mainframes and display screens of human communication equipment, and the data cables that powered these were submerged in the protruding tissue tumors on the ground. Among them, it appears that the zerg are powering it in some form of bioelectricity.

Dirt, slime, and creep covered the glowing screen, surrounded by some special zerg bioluminescence like lights on the screen.Several zerg-infested, spiky infected people were manipulating these devices with their stiff fingers. There were at least dozens of worm intestines and thick meridians connecting their brains to the huge tumor on the ground.

A cerebrate watching UNN news using a human holographic projection device.

The news on the screen reads: Augustus Mengsk, bringer of misfortune and doom.
