Groups of gryphon knights flew across the sky, dropping goblin bombs at the Shining Excavation Site.
Stone chips flew with shrapnel, and each explosion could blow more than a dozen insects into pieces. The brain chamber of the Sentipal Hive Mother in the insect column was extremely busy for a while.
Solid, the male devourer of insects, is the busiest of these insects. He has to constantly travel back and forth between the brain ventricle and another chamber next to it. The other chamber is the trachea of the nest mother. The nest mother cannot feed the insect swarm alone.
To issue specific orders, it must be combined with the hormones secreted by the male insects during the exhalation of particles, so that the most detailed orders can be conveyed to the insect swarm and achieve the ultimate command effect.
However, in the face of technological differences, no matter how wonderful the command is, it cannot smooth the distance.
Using extreme command, the swarm of insects may be able to accomplish the feat of infantry defeating cavalry, but when the gryphon knights are bombing every inch of land in groups, the swarm of insects has no room to hide, and no matter how wonderful the command is, it is meaningless.
.
In the ventricle of the brain, the Nest Mother's brain array flashed crazily. It was calculating the trajectory of the alliance's bombing and looking for a solution to this tactic. However, after massive calculations, the Nest Mother reluctantly came to the conclusion that with the existing
Comparing the types of troops, the insect swarm in the Flash Excavation Site is helpless.
For a moment, the flashing of the nest mother brain array seemed particularly weak.
'This is the alliance's strategy. Use large aerial targets to draw all attention to the south of the Falaki Mountains. After attracting the attention of most of the flying troops in the nest, the main force of the flying troops will be dispatched to bomb the glittering excavation site.'
Solid the Devourer suggested.
'The flying targets that appear above the sinkhole have no offensive capabilities at all, and it is difficult to pose a threat if ignored. The flying units should be immediately transferred to the north of the mountain range.'
This suggestion was approved by the nest mother.
'The Sentipal ethnic group is far less powerful than the Hazari ethnic group. There are not so many troops to lose and waste. Thirty thousand is not a small number for us...'
At this point, the brain array flashed violently, which was a rare excitement for the nest mother.
'While I was sleeping, lower vertebrates dared to feed on my offspring! If it weren't for the elemental riot caused by these lower animals that woke me up, I might never have known that my offspring would live like this
humiliation!'
Solid felt the anger of the brood mother sincerely, because this was the first time that the brood mother expressed herself strongly. You must know that there is an iron law in the Qiraji society: any zerg except the emperor lineage
No self-awareness is allowed, not even for the nest mother and male who deserve to have names!
Just now, the Sentipal Nest Mother expressed four selves one after another. How angry is it? Although after gaining self-awareness, Solid always has the urge to disobey the Nest Mother, but it is very clear about the symbiosis between itself and the Nest Mother.
relationship, so it immediately reminds the nest mother.
'The final victory in this war will definitely belong to the Qiraji. The small disturbance in the Shining Excavation Site is not enough to trouble the hive mother. When the hunting operation for the vertebral life cubs begins, the enemy's will will inevitably collapse, but they don't know
How far along is this plan?'
After being reminded by Solid, the nest mother also calmed down.
'The emperor is very satisfied with this plan. The special envoy he sent has taken over the matter. The special envoy has an advantage over the Zerg in doing things like sneaking in and sabotaging.'
When it came to the indescribable emperor, Solid the Devourer did not dare to ask any more questions. Seeing that the nest mother's mood had stabilized, it stopped talking and immediately came to the nest mother's tracheal chamber and issued a message for the flying troops to rescue.
Flash Dig Site Command.
…
Over the sinkhole, Shiloma watched the dense swarm of bees suddenly abandon him and fly north. He knew that the double attack strategy formulated by the headquarters was successful. He immediately excitedly took out the modified Zerg carapace and wore it with everyone else.
On the body.
Hiloma put the Zerg abdominal carapace on his upper body, and used the small eye holes in the carapace to get in front of Krasus.
"Your Highness, please excuse me."
Of course Crassus would not refuse. Five-colored magic lights lit up between his hands, and he did not forget to remind everyone.
"Please adjust your breathing first. During the process of my casting, you need to hold your breath for a minute. You will feel a little uncomfortable after the transformation begins."
The five people nodded together, indicating that the adjustments have been made and please start now.
"Okay, hold your breath."
Everyone held their breath at the same time, and Krasus cast the transformation spell on the five people.
For Shiloma and the others, it felt as if they had been hit in the chest by a heavy hammer, and then their waists and limbs felt as if they were tied up with ropes, and their heads were swollen.
As a magister, Kel'Thuzad felt the changes in his body and wanted to deduce the magic circuit of this spell. However, after analysis, he was frustrated to find that this spell did not follow any magic rules he knew.
"Okay, now you can breathe normally and look at each other."
The five people all let out a sigh of relief. The feeling just now was too uncomfortable. Then they all found that each other had turned into six-legged, big-bellied and long-tentacled insects!
The fusion of this spell and the leather sheath was perfect, and the connections between different limbs were extremely natural. The five of them were now bugs, and they couldn't tell the difference even if they were real bugs standing in front of them.
"You are the key to the victory or defeat of this war. I believe you are all familiar with each other now. Please cooperate with us. The future of the alliance is entrusted to you."
Crassus bowed to several people solemnly, then opened the cabin and sent them off.
Kel'Thuzad cast invisibility and slow-down operations on the entire team, and jumped off the Ruby with a few people. Krasus watched them leave, while the other entourage on the Ruby looked dumbfounded.
Suddenly, they saw several people disappearing at the same time, with only one connecting rope hanging in the air and falling slowly downwards.
…
After falling into the sinkhole, the surrounding environment became pitch black, but still couldn't reach the end. Kel'Thuzad could only apply another slow-fall technique. After three full slow-fall spells, the feet of several people finally touched the ground.
When it touched the "ground", the invisibility spell on the body was also released at the same time.
Accustomed to the vision in the dark, the few of them could now see a lot more clearly. There were flying and crawling insects all around. Those who looked at them couldn't help but feel their scalps numb, and what they were standing on was not the ground at all. They were clearly underground insects.
The outer wall of the column.
Step on the outer wall of the insect pillar and feel its touch. It is completely different from rocks and land. It has a soft touch when you step on it, just like a kind of flesh, but at the same time it is more elastic than ordinary flesh.
Garona and the shadow hunter Niebuhr, who were walking in the shadows, had the best eyesight in the dark environment. They both noticed that there were many openings on the outer wall, and the holes were arranged in some uncomfortable ways.
Some holes kept bugs coming in and out, while other holes kept bugs away. Combining the scene in front of her with the testimony from the prisoners during interrogation, Shiloma had a rough idea of what was going on.
"Those where bugs come in and out are safe passages, and what bugs avoid are the stomata. The nest mother will use them to breathe and transmit commands. We must also be careful about those stomata. The strong airflow is enough to kill us. Be careful of being blown away.
Or be sucked into some unknown chamber and crushed to death.”
Everyone followed Shiloma's advice, led by Garona and Niebuhr, and headed towards the location of the male worm and the brain at the deepest point of the worm pillar.
It was not that there were no bugs that doubted them along the way, but Hiloma had been prepared. Several of them carried bug scent glands on their bodies, and their leather cases were also designed to simulate the noise of bug movements. They passed several times without any danger.
Secondary insect inspection.
But as they continued to go deeper, they finally encountered a real obstacle. The area near the male worm and the brain ventricle was a restricted area. Even real worms would only die if they approached this area.
The swarm does not allow the nest mother and male insects to be threatened in any way.
There is a long and narrow road ahead. In the middle of the road stands a bug general. It will kill all bugs that accidentally enter here and protect the core safety of the bug nest.
"What should I do? Do you want to fight?"
Garona pulled out the dagger. She was still not used to the body of the Zerg. When it came time to fight, she would definitely not be able to be as fast and violent as the human form, but she was confident that it would be enough to kill the big man on the opposite side.
"Don't worry, our enemy is not this insect general. Every insect in the insect nest is the offspring of the nest mother. Am I right? Priest Shilomar?"
Hiloma nodded and said that what Lao Chen said was absolutely correct.
"In this case, don't forget these little guys."
As he spoke, Old Chen Xu pointed at the cave wall. He really didn't want to touch the cave wall that seemed to be made of flesh and blood tissue.
Everyone looked in the direction pointed by Old Chen, where a firefly the size of a cat lay lazily. It opened its wings and its exposed belly was glowing, which was the source of the light in the cave.
"This thing is alive."
Lao Chen used his knife to pluck it, but before the tip of the knife touched it, the firefly crawled to the side.
"You see, the reaction of this little thing is very sensitive. If we fight the insect general like this in the cave, it is difficult to guarantee that these little things will not report to the nest mother. Once the enemy knows our existence, we will be completely destroyed.
."
Lao Chen had the most experience in infiltrating this kind of dungeon, so no one would question his words. Garona couldn't help but feel a little discouraged after hearing this.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Garona also has her own arrogance, but facing this pandaren who defeated her in seven games during the competition, the female orc could not be arrogant at all.
Old Chen chuckled and gave an extremely vigorous answer.
"Fight them all the way without leaving any survivors!"
