Xue Hua stood at the exit of the passage and stared at the Sand Worm Queen in a daze, but the swarm of insects would not follow him in a daze.
The order to attack had been given, and seeing as this guy was so big, he must be very resistant to being beaten, so the insect mother felt confident and boldly allowed the insects to let go and beat him to death.
However, just when the swarm was about to rush forward, the Sandworm Queen who was lying on the ground suddenly raised her body and let out a silent roar. Waves of sound waves formed sound waves and swept in all directions, hitting the room hard.
Surrounding black stone wall.
Some obelisk-shaped stone bricks in those stone walls suddenly cracked, revealing masses of pink disgusting biological tissue.
The surface of those biological tissues fluctuated very quickly, and then, several exits to the oases from the outside world appeared on the surface of the tissue.
Immediately afterwards, countless insect monsters such as death beetles, desirers, and sandworms poured in from those exits. Xue Hua even saw a flash of dark gold color among them.
"This is the creature's last defense. The exposed biological tissues should be part of the creature's brain. Most of its brain tissue is underground, but the above-ground part of the body is strangely the main nerve center. Its
The brain tissue is so huge that it has enveloped the entire area. These black stone bricks should be some kind of growth inhibition facility to ensure that it will not be crushed to death by its own brain tissue..."
Abathur sat on the cockroach's back, walked to Xue Hua calmly, and explained to him slowly.
Being crushed to death by his own brain tissue...
What a...humiliating way to die!
Xue Hua often saw this sentence on the Internet in his previous life, which was called "A brain is a good thing, but it's a pity that you don't have it."
However, for this sandworm queen... "brain" seems to be too much~
It can be seen that having too many brains is not necessarily a good thing. We must learn to use dialectical thinking to look at problems...
Ahem... I'm going too far~
But since this thing can use sound waves to control the monsters in the oasis, Xue Hua was curious, why didn't it use this ability to stop them from moving forward?
He looked at Abathur in confusion and asked this question in the main hive mind.
"The creature is too large and its brain is rooted here, so it cannot move. Therefore, this method should only be used to defend against intruders who have already reached its body.
There is a price to pay for using this method, and the price is destroying those growth-inhibiting facilities.
If these growth-inhibiting facilities are destroyed, the creature will be overwhelmed by its own growing brain tissue in the following time, so this defense method can only be used as a last resort."
Abathur quickly answered Xue Hua's question in the main hive mind.
"I see, that means that even if we retreat without doing anything, this thing will kill itself?"
Xue Hua nodded and asked.
"Once the creature activates its final defensive measures, it will close all nerve node pathways, leaving the intruder with no way to retreat. They can only be killed by the continuous influx of enemies, and then buried with it in this unknown underground facility.
middle."
Abathur explained in an emotionless voice.
"Hold the grass! Is it a self-destruction device?" Xue Hua was suddenly startled and quickly turned around, only to find that the passage door that Abathur had opened when they came had indeed been re-blocked.
However, Xue Hua did not panic too much, because the consequences mentioned by Abathur were only for those unlucky ones who accidentally broke into this place, but for the insect swarm, no matter how many monsters came in, it would only be
Just a plate of food.
After all, with his continuous support behind him, I really don't know how to lose this battle.
As more and more monsters poured into this not-so-wide space, the insect swarm finally began to engage in head-on firefights with the monster swarm.
The Hydralisks launched the first round of attacks, and the destructive explosive needles rained down on the front row of the monster group. The fastest-moving Death Beetles and Water Fertilizer Warriors were immediately hit by the explosive needles of the Hydralisks.
Although the penetrating power is not strong, it is not something that the thin layer of insect shells on their bodies can resist.
Then, after a burst of "sparks and lightning", a large gap suddenly opened up in the front line of the incoming monster group.
At this moment, the piercing roar of the alien dragons also sounded in the sky above the battle area. Because this area was very high, Xue Hua had just released hundreds of alien dragons to support the battlefield, but now they
The main opponent is a swarm of desirers who can also fly in the air.
Among the monsters summoned by the Mother of Sand Worms this time, the number of Desires was the largest. A large group of them poured out from the openings in the brain tissue, and soon filled the entire battlefield airspace.
Mutalisks are quite effective against these little bugs. The blade bugs they spit out can kill all the bugs in a line during flight.
However, the number of desirers was too great. Xue Hua had no choice but to send a group of extra dragons, and then directed some of the Hydralisks' attack targets into the air. This barely suppressed the ferocious swarm of desirers.
Crazy arrogance.
On the ground battlefield, because the battlefield was too small, the insect swarm could not deploy its troops. In addition, Xue Hua did not dare to let Isha use "orbital bombing" to clear the area, for fear of accidentally killing the fat one.
The mother of sandworms was blown up.
Therefore, the insect swarm can only adopt defensive advancement tactics for the time being, slowly moving closer to the direction of the mother of sandworms.
As for the Thunder Beast, the ultimate weapon of the Zerg land warfare, Xue Hua did not release them. The reason was that the space was too small. The body length of an Thunder Beast was tens of meters long. After a little visual inspection, Xue Hua found out that
The length of the entire battlefield is only a few tens of meters. Even if the Thunder Beasts are released, this small space will greatly affect their performance.
However, in the advancing tactics of the swarm, a type of zerg unit that Xue Hua had rarely noticed before exerted extremely destructive power.
This unit is a variant of the Hydralisk - the Lurker.
These bugs, which dive underground to attack, are generally used for defense because they cannot move underground like cockroaches.
Due to problems with their body structure, they cannot even perform forced displacement underground.
Judging from the battles that Xue Hua's insect swarm has experienced, since their appearance, there has been no defensive battle that allowed them to show their advantages.
The Zerg troops are also a bit ignored.
However, the ongoing battle now made Xue Hua see their value.
These creatures with six curved, sharp digging legs can easily dig through those seemingly hard black stone floors, and then burrow into the ground, using rows of high-density telescoping sharp spines to kill entire swarms of insects.
Here comes the monster.
The fragile defenses of those monsters could not stop the lurkers from attacking from underground. Whenever a group of lurkers launched an attack, a square area in the monster group would be neatly splashed with green blood.
Lurkers follow the footsteps of the insect swarm and continuously cycle through the process of burrowing - killing enemies - emerging - moving - burrowing. Their brutal killing power even leaves the front-line melee units of the insect swarm with nothing to do.
Seeing how ferocious the lurkers were, Xue Hua was no longer conservative. He ordered the insect mother to expand the insect swarm's defense circle and speed up the advance, so that he would have space to deploy saboteurs at the rear of the battlefield.
The insect mother took the lead, and the insect swarm's defense front suddenly expanded outward. Under the cover of the lurkers and hydralisks, the insect swarm's moving monsters were unable to stop it.
However, just when the swarm of insects began to approach the mother of sandworms, the exterminators at the front were suddenly dyed with a layer of green gauze. At the same time, Xue Hua saw in the mind of the main nest, the ten exterminators
The life indicators of many exterminators who suddenly turned green were rapidly declining, and soon fell to a very dangerous level.
Xue Hua immediately realized what it was, so he quickly asked the exterminators to retreat back and let the insect mother step forward to treat them.
At the same time, he was also very shocked.
He knew that the mother of sandworms had poisonous aura, but he didn't expect that this guy's toxins had such a powerful effect on the insect swarm?
You must know that Zerg units carry various deadly viruses in their bodies, and some units, such as Corruptors, are even developed from cancerous cells.
What kind of toxins can be used against such organisms?
Just when Xue Hua felt very surprised, Abathur once again answered his question in the main hive mind.
