dark moon

Chapter 255 Investigation at Point [-]

In the alien projection without the sun, you can only see the twinkling stars regardless of day and night. The world on the ground is always in darkness, and the darkness makes people feel endlessly depressed.Unknown constellations shed faint light, adding a bit of haziness to the dark world, faintly visible, and there are constant sounds of rustling echoing around, as if there are thousands of bugs crawling in the shadows.

Either it seems, this is a fact, or there are thousands of bugs hiding in the darkness. These mindless bugs always stay in the same area, wandering in a small area, not hungry or tired, just to carry out the queen's orders. Order, tightly guard the entrance of the cave, seal the enemy underground, and prevent the enemy from breaking out from the ground to occupy other mineral veins.

Yes, this is the war zone named Point [-], where the two types of bugs confront each other. The ground is full of bugs crawling around.The two sides have tentatively fought several times, but there has been no progress. The entrance to the cave is still well sealed by the spider webs. The insect swarm has not been able to invade the cave, and the little spiders have not been able to expand their territory. The two sides have continued to see each other, and no one has. Take advantage.

Since the emergence of various advanced insects in the insect swarm, small spiders have also begun to suffer casualties. After all, spiders are not as smart as humans and know how to use various techniques to avoid harm. They can only resist with their bodies, which leads to In each tentative engagement, both sides suffered heavy losses.

The air was filled with the stench of insect liquid and the smell of death, but there were still no corpses on the ground. They were either torn into pieces and recovered by the carpet, or were moved back to their nests by the spiders as food reserves. For the insects, Waste is shameful.

The two bugs sometimes stop fighting, and they will fight whenever they think of it. However, it is now in a peaceful period, and there is a blank area of ​​more than ten meters wide between the confrontation positions, which can be regarded as a fragile buffer zone for both sides.

"Chi" An extremely weak sound of jets sounded from the night sky above the buffer zone, but nothing could be seen in the sky, only stars all over the sky.Along with the jet, Shuer's suppressed voice also came out from the void: "The speed is amazing. The flying vehicles in this world are really unusual, and they can actually become invisible. But when I took off just now, Yuri... The situation is like crazy."

"Eh? Don't you know? She has already regarded these two ghost fighters as her lovers. She finally found two of the same kind with wings, and she was just trying to establish a good relationship. In the end, you actually fell in love with her lover and even took her lover to her. Take it away from others, of course they will go crazy."

It seems like there is nothing in the sky, but if you have equipment or magic that detects invisibility, you can see a flying vehicle hovering in the sky, which is one of the two ghost fighters in the human fortress.The space in the fighter plane was very small, and Shuer and Moria were squeezed into the small space, with their bodies almost touching each other.

The two of them ran to the insect swarm's mother nest early this morning, found the dirt slope where they lay down yesterday, and searched around the area. Sure enough, they found the ruins of the Soul Clan base behind a pile of rubble.Other buildings have long since collapsed, and only a few crystal towers are still standing alone on the surface. However, most of the crystal towers have also been destroyed. Only two of them still have a vague energy response, which can just supply energy to the dirty jump platform. .

Unexpectedly, the Soul Clan's technology was quite reliable. Decades later, the jump platform that had been left open and unmaintained was still functioning normally. After the familiar dizziness passed, the two of them saw the Soul Clan's underground base again.

The tactics of seducing the east and attacking the west can be used normally, and now I feel relieved.What happened next was simple. He used a bunch of lies to deceive the two portable jumping devices left by the soul clan mastermind. They were actually two belt-like things.With the trophies in hand, the two of them started another quarrel at the ground base, and then left amid the forest spirit's shouting protests.

Moria was just glad that her suffering of becoming a mount was finally over. Unexpectedly, she was pulled directly to the control room by Shuer before she even had time to take a sip of water when she returned to the fortress. It was said that Wei informed him that cave-dwelling spiders and insect swarms were coming again. Once the war started.Although she kept shouting misleading nonsense such as "let me go, I'm not mentally prepared yet", she was still caught in the dark control room.

Unfortunately, the battle was over when the two arrived, and they couldn't see anything, which made Shuer look quite disappointed.

"I'm going to do some reconnaissance at Point [-]. It's best if I can enter the cave. I won't be reassured if I don't see the battle between the two sides with my own eyes and confirm that the cave spiders can hold back the large army of insects. I don't want to think that I have successfully mobilized the insects. They were the main defensive force of the group, but they returned with a large army to support us, allowing us to fall into a trap."

When Xiuer said this while looking at the calm battlefield image, Moria almost thought she had heard wrongly. The Lin Jing was causing trouble, but she had always supported Xiuer on key issues.However, this time, even she thought that Xiuer was just having a whim. It was too difficult to get in with such dense insects.It's not that there is no hope at all. The problem is that there is no need to take such a big risk. If there are no empty jellyfish roaming around in the sky, you can try using invisibility, but those empty jellyfish are really... wait, where are the empty jellyfish?

Only then did Lin Jing realize that there were no empty jellyfish in the center of the battlefield in the image. They were all swimming around the periphery, and the ones closest to the battlefield were several hundred meters away.But even so, it was impossible for the two of them to break through the outer blockade of the Sky Jellyfish and directly enter the core area.

However, if there is a loophole, there is an opportunity. In Xiure's idea, he originally wanted to use those invisible detectors to see if he could quietly send the two of them into the encirclement. Unexpectedly, Wei came up with something more Good idea, the Ghost fighter also has a cloaking device.

"Oh, I was wrong, I really shouldn't have asked you." Crowded in the small cockpit, Xiuer rubbed his forehead with a headache, and tapped a strangely shaped bracelet on his wrist, "Wei, How is the surrounding situation?" "The swarm is all normal, Your Excellency Commander." Wei's mechanized voice came from a disc on the bracelet, "Both sides have no tendency to attack us."

"Tsk, this thing is so convenient." Shuer pressed back and forth on the disc of the bracelet, "Are you transferred here now, or are you still at the base, just transmitting sounds?"

"Remote control, Your Excellency, the specific method is..."

"Uh, okay, let's discuss this issue later." Shuer quickly interrupted Wei's long speech. He was not opposed to learning more about this world, but he was still very unfamiliar with the language. He listened to those obviously professional terms. The commentary is mental torture, and this is not a good place to chat, "Are you sure you haven't been discovered by the empty jellyfish?"

"Although there is no blank space in their field of vision between each other, there is a blind spot for defense above. We crossed the reconnaissance circle from a high altitude. If the field of view data provided by the commander is correct, then they will not discover us."

"Well done, Wei, you are a very good artificial intelligence." Shuer patted the bracelet, which meant patting her shoulder. "Is it convenient to land now? If it is not convenient, we can find a way to jump down."

"Phantom fighters all take off and land vertically, Commander." Following Wei's answer, Shuer and Moria clearly felt that they were descending at a constant speed. Looking out through the transparent hatch, the ground was getting closer and closer. The empty space between the two sides is the most suitable landing point.

"Phew, I was scared to death." As soon as the fighter plane landed, Moria jumped out of the cabin as if running away. Fortunately, Shuer reacted quickly and tore the scroll of invisibility first, otherwise the two of them would have enjoyed millions of insects. A crowd of people gathered around to watch.As soon as the forest elf landed on the ground, he couldn't wait to transform into a deer form. From the sound, he should have rolled on the ground, "The sky is so scary, yo yo, I don't want to fly up anymore. I am a tree, and I want to take root in the earth." ."

It seems that racial instinct is still very powerful. Even an unscrupulous guy like Lin Jing will be afraid of leaving the ground.

"It's a pity that we have to fly again when we go back. I will pray to Lord Dark Moon for you." Finally found the opportunity, Xiuer gloated and teased a few words, and then ordered, "Wei, let The fighter planes are hovering in the air and on standby to avoid being affected if the two sides fight again. We... hmm? Are you sure we haven't been discovered? "

Shuer was a little surprised, because eight dragonflies formed a diamond-shaped formation and were flying through the sky. It was said that this was just a normal patrol. Everyone had seen them before when observing from high altitude, but this time, their distance was obviously closer to the ground. There are a lot of holes. I don’t know if I sensed the abnormal flow of air and came to take a closer look, or if I simply deviated from the route.

However, the reason is no longer important, because when they were still about a hundred meters away from the crypt, the taut spider web at the entrance of the crypt suddenly made a sound like a bow string being loosened, and the spider web also trembled violently, and more than 20 half-body A cave-dwelling spider with legs that are more than three meters long when spread out, its legs hooked together, like a boulder in a trebuchet, being shot up into the sky by the spider web.

The little spiders flew very fast, shooting five to sixty meters in the blink of an eye, but this also exhausted their initial speed. They were still less than half the distance from the dragonfly, and they had already started to fall downwards.

However, the spiders seemed to have been prepared for this. When they flew out, they were already in an overlapping posture. They started to fall. The spider below acted as a springboard, and the spider above jumped up again and flew out for more than 20 meters. , a large amount of spider silk suddenly spurted out from the abdomen, firmly sticking to the wings of the dragonflies, causing them to lose the power to fly in an instant. They could not even struggle in mid-air, and could only watch the little spiders pounce on them in the air. His body was tightly bound by eight legs.

If this trend were followed, spiders and dragonflies would fall into the insect swarm together, but only then did Shuer and Moria barely see that a few slender spider silks were always holding up the spiders' backs.After catching the target, the spider silk suddenly tightened, pulling the little spiders back, and finally landed in the blank area between the two sides.As soon as it landed, the spiders dragged their prey back to the web as quickly as possible, leaving no chance for the swarm to attack.

"I finally understand why the empty jellyfish hides so far away." After being surprised for a while, Xiuer sighed, "Sure enough, these guys have absorbed the energy of the crystal, and they are already a bit smart."
