Chapter 284: Catching Bugs
Two hill-like bugs hugged each other and rolled crazily. No matter how intelligent they were, they were still bugs in nature. Energy beams and psychic storms were indeed useful, but for them, the best weapon was still Claws and fangs, or their own bodies.

Hard and soft, two different bodies took turns hitting the metal ground, making huge noises. Even though the entire base was made of metal and was strong enough, the ground was still shaking as they rolled.Such brutal but wonderful battle scenes are rare. At this moment, the Parvatiga people seemed to have returned to the mythical age that only existed in legends, to the dreamy age where gods and mortals coexisted.

In the age of mythology, due to ignorant primitive worship, personalized gods were constantly awakening from their own bodies. Frequent divine awakenings led to abnormally high energy concentrations on the earth, and countless huge creatures came into being.Super monsters weighing more than ten tons roam the earth, waiting for opportunities to prey on weak creatures. The herbivorous monsters that are dozens of meters tall move slowly and elegantly. With their heads raised and feet stamped, they can cause the earth to crack, mountains to collapse, and their wings to cover the sky. The giant dragon of the sun is entrenched on the top of the mountain, lazily overlooking the cruel survival battlefield on the ground. The cold giant whale lurks in the deep sea. Every time it opens its mouth, it is the annihilation of tens of thousands of underwater creatures.

In addition to these, of course there are also insects.

Centipedes that are several meters long are colorful, and every breath of their stomata is spewing poisonous gas outwards. Spiders that are more than ten meters high use the mountains as treetops, and build overwhelming nets between the mountains, waiting for their victims. When the sun comes, scorpions that are larger than humans swing their scarlet tails and swagger among the beasts, causing the beasts to attack and fly. Bloodthirsty mosquitoes drag their bodies more than one meter long and swarm in groups, fluttering their wings and making a buzzing sound. The sound is enough to suppress all surrounding sounds.

At that time, people hesitated and moved forward in the cracks of the giant beasts, snatching the living space on the earth from the mouths of the giant beasts.Only in that era could one have the opportunity to see such huge and ferocious super bugs. With the end of the birth period of the gods, the energy concentration in the world stabilized, and the giant beasts that had dominated the mythical era for hundreds of thousands of years gradually became extinct. This was the end of the mythical era. , a sign of the beginning of the barbaric era.

Since then, although there are still many super monsters more than ten meters high in the world, suppressing human beings' desire to explore the wilderness, the giant bugs that were most affected by the environment have completely disappeared. The mutant spider mother station we saw before It is only two or three meters tall, which is already huge as it has never been seen before, but compared with its close relatives from the mythical age, the nearly ten times difference in body size is enough to highlight the gap between the two sides.

After not seeing each other for a few days, the mutated spider mother had grown a lot from what she had eaten. Her carapace was dark and shiny, thick burrs covered her body, and her roots were upright and as hard as needles.That is to say, with its strength increased again, the spider mother can fight evenly with the insect queen. When she took the initiative to retreat, there must be a reason why she wanted to avoid these powerful people among the insect swarm.

However, it finally didn't have to retreat. It was suppressed for several days and lost tens of thousands of children. Now it's finally time for revenge. Speaking of which, I really want to thank those two humans for having the opportunity to take revenge.

Humans, of course, refer to Shure and Moria.

However, these two people now have no sense of being thanked by humans, no, insects, or to be precise, this group of humans. The protagonist of the battle has changed, and now a group of people have become idle and gathered around to watch the fun.

"Did you find it?" The ferocity and ugliness of the spider frightened a beauty like Militty away. "You can actually communicate with it?"

"It's actually very simple, some languages ​​​​are not racial."

"I understand, you must have reached a consensus with it when you and Moria went to scout the spider cave." Mia said thoughtfully, but how did you let it follow us in?Those bugs outside can't possibly turn a blind eye to it. If it shows up, the Queen will definitely know of its existence. "

"Look at the spider mother's legs." Xiuer nuzzled at the mutant spider mother, "Rely on that thing."

It was not easy to see clearly. Although the two sides no longer continued to roll, they continued to fight in a small area. The spider's legs kept moving, making it difficult to see clearly.Fortunately, the high-level mercenaries' dynamic vision was good enough, and they could barely see the spider's legs. A bright yellow metal belt was put on the spider's legs, and it was fixed firmly. Even with such a big movement, the belt did not fall off. signs. "

"This is……"

"The portable jump device is the standard configuration of the soul clan's advanced arms. It can only be used by the assembler, regardless of the size of the assembler. It is said that it can even teleport an air battleship more than ten meters long." Shuer explained, "The Queen of Insects only has this It didn’t lie at all. I guess it knew that the lie would be exposed soon. I later confirmed that it does have this function and it can indeed be used.”

"You are so brave, you dare to show up in front of it, and you put on the belt, right? You dare to get so close to him, and you are not afraid that it will suddenly attack and eat you."

"Oh, I guess it won't. Under the influence of the crystal energy, it has become quite smart. After all, we are from the same world and have a common enemy. When suppressed by insects, as long as we show The meaning of reconciliation is that if I don’t attack it actively, it probably won’t eat me. After all, I’m not tasty at all, but it’s hard to say that about the deer next to me.”

"Eh? Although I'm delicious in every sense of the word, I'm not here to feed the spiders." "I'm surprised that it's actually willing to help you. It's one thing not to continue attacking you, but it agrees to cooperate with you. That's another story." Mia snorted and said, "Don't tell me you didn't reach a consensus, I won't believe it."

"Of course there is a consensus. I don't deny this. It's easy to seduce it. Just tell it that I can help it find opportunities to kill the bugs and send it home. It will definitely agree. After all, this world is too big. It’s dangerous, and even it doesn’t want to stay here for a long time.”

"I don't know of any race-neutral language that can explain such complex content clearly."

"Of course." Xiuer raised his hand, revealing the bracelet on his wrist, "I asked Wei...she simulated several images. She couldn't understand the language, but there was no obstacle in understanding the images."

"I see." Several high-ranking mercenaries suddenly realized, and even Mia had to admit that the whimsical plan, but excluding the factors of boldness and risk, was actually reasonable, but... "How is Wei?"

"I don't know, there is still no response." Xiuer lost his smile and shook his head. "Maybe it was just a temporary malfunction caused by the energy impact, but judging from her final performance, the malfunction is probably more than temporary. I can treat her again. Don’t have high hopes for the launch.”

"die?"

"It can be understood this way." Xiuer nodded, his expression had returned to calmness, and there was no trace of emotion or anger. "Although she was not alive in the first place, and could not be considered dead at all, but in terms of performance, well, she is dead."

"It seems that you are very angry." Mia patted Xiure on the shoulder. This was the first time the proud mountain elf took the initiative to show kindness. "This is not your fault. There is no need to blame yourself for this."

"Ha, I've said it before. She's just a man-made object. How could I be angry about a man-made tool? No matter how much it helps us, it's her duty that has been determined from the day she was created. What's more, she told Pass me, all her reactions are simulated based on program judgment, there is no human emotion at all, I..."

As he spoke, Xiuer couldn't go on and sighed softly: "Okay, I admit, I am very angry, very, very angry. It is obviously just a machine, but she finally said goodbye to me, damn it I wanted to try my best to save her, but ended up taking her to a dead end. If she had stayed in the fortress, she could have survived for a few more days, but because of my negligence, she died, so I am not only angry with the Zerg Queen. I’m angry, and I’m also angry with myself.”

"Eh? Aren't they the ones who should be angry?" Moria blinked innocently and pointed at everyone around her, "In order to achieve your own goals, you knew that this place was a trap, but you still jumped in. Not only did everyone's lives hang by a thread several times, but so many people died, so they should be angry."

The hat was too big, and the rescued people were startled. What did this deer say? God, we didn't think so, okay, although we thought so a little, but really Just a little bit, we still know the good and the bad. Once we are saved, we are saved. How can we blame the person who saved us anymore.

However, before these people could rush to explain, Xiuer smiled anyway, shook his head and sighed: "Oh, I'm not that fragile yet. I have seen many teammates who sacrificed themselves, and I won't be knocked down by this. And you don’t have to explain it to me. I think everyone should understand that maybe this is not the best choice, but it is definitely the least bad choice I can think of and the only one that can take everyone home. As for those who haven’t Anyone who has been able to get here together can only express regret, so I won’t blame myself for it.”

"The problem I blame myself is that after all, I still underestimated the queen. I didn't expect it to have a psionic storm as its hole card. If I could prepare more comprehensively, Wei wouldn't have to take the initiative to sacrifice."

"However, things have already happened, and it is useless to say anything." Although he said that he was not that fragile, after Moria's unique persuasion, Shuer's expression was no longer calm to the point of gloom, "Now There is only one thing to say, Yuri, haven’t you opened the door yet?”

"Hey, I'm a winged person. Even though I'm the most ordinary kind, you can't force me to do hard work. Besides, is there something wrong with the brains of people from the Soul Clan? Opening the door is supposed to be a technical job, why do they want to change it? It’s a physical job, hell, it’s finally open.”

"Boom", with the roar of machinery, the door to the road home finally opened.
