After Xue Hua came down, he glanced around with the help of the insect mother's sight and found that they were now at the edge of a huge square.
This square is very large, almost the size of a half-standard football field, and at this time, the square is densely covered with sharp-clawed vipers.
The location of the insect swarm is just at a corner of the square. It is a good location and only needs to be defended in two directions. And just over ten meters to their right is the downward staircase they just discovered. It is very open.
, surrounded by sharp-clawed vipers, it can be said that it is attacked from all sides...
The appearance of the insect swarm woke up all the sharp-clawed vipers. These guys seemed to have very sharp senses and could easily find traces of enemies in the dark.
They all let out a piercing scream, and then started charging as a group, rushing towards the insect swarm.
Not to be outdone, the cockroaches in the front row screamed and raised the appendages on their carapace to kill the sharp-clawed vipers that rushed towards them one after another.
However, these guys are not easy to deal with, and their attacks can also cause effective damage to cockroaches wearing heavy armor.
The mother insects stood at the back and kept spraying milk to treat the cockroaches in the front row, but the cockroaches soon suffered damage.
But at this moment, Xue Hua came to the mother insects under the protection of a group of springtails. He raised his staff and cast a resurrection spell, resurrecting the cockroaches who died in the battle one by one.
Under the double protection of Xue Hua and the insect mother, the insect swarm quickly took the initiative in the battle.
The cockroaches in the front row rushed forward despite the claws and bites of the clawed vipers at all costs, and the hydralisks in the rear quickly obtained an ideal output environment.
They lined up in a row, opened their ejection chambers, and were about to shoot deadly needles at the enemy. However, the output process was disrupted by a large number of white bone spears suddenly shot from behind the clawed vipers.
These white bone spears, about one meter long, were shot from the back half of the square, curved around the front row of the battlefield, and directly smashed into the Hydralisks' line.
Forced by this, the Hydralisks had to close their jet chambers again and raise their multi-toothed sickle-shaped forelimbs to block the sudden long-range attack.
"What the hell is this?"
Of course Xue Hua also saw this scene, but he had no idea what was attacking the hydralisk.
Because in the previous game, there shouldn’t be any long-range attack monsters that could use this kind of bone spear in the Clawed Viper Temple, right?
Just when he was feeling a little stunned, the second wave of bone spear attacks once again flew from behind the square, and this time the targets of these bone spears were actually aimed at him and the insect mothers around him!
"defense!"
Xue Hua roared and waved his right hand holding the staff violently, and two cockroaches that he had just resurrected appeared directly in front of him.
This is a major feature of his mutated summoning spells, which can directly summon the Zerg units resurrected by him to his side.
Two cockroaches immediately defended Xue Hua. They sandwiched him in the middle and used their thickest back armor to face the direction of the bone spear.
Xue Hua hunched over slightly and hid underneath, and soon heard the sound of a sharp instrument piercing the carapace and the painful hissing of a cockroach in front of him.
He looked up slightly and saw four or five bone spears inserted into the backs of the two cockroaches protecting him. Each bone spear penetrated more than half of the armor, causing great damage.
He straightened up and looked at the insect mother beside him, only to find that the insect mother was worthy of being a mid-level commander worth 10,000 crystals each. The long-range attack group attack with such destructive power did not cause any harm to them at all.
However, this state of being beaten and unable to fight back made Xue Hua feel a little angry. Since the insect swarm has grown stronger, when has it ever fought such a frustrating battle?
But there is no way. The roof here is too short, only three or four meters high. The saboteur's attack cannot be carried out here. In addition, the Supervisory King Insect can no longer provide them with reconnaissance vision, so he
Now I can't even see where my opponent is.
"Master, the shields of the insect swarm host should be able to be deployed effectively. You can use them to defend against the opponent's long-range attacks."
Isa promptly put forward valuable suggestions in the main hive mind, and Xue Hua immediately adopted this suggestion.
Soon, four or five insect swarm hosts appeared in the center of the insect swarm. They quickly took root and released a large number of nano-locusts, and soon weaved a light blue shield in front of the insect swarm.
After the shield was deployed, those bone spears could only hit the shield and break into pieces when they attacked again, and could no longer threaten the insect swarm in the slightest.
"Very good! Swarm! Move forward!"
After dealing with the opponent's long-range attack, Xue Hua issued the order to advance without hesitation. The insect mothers screamed loudly and sprayed out their wild feeding liquid, leading the cockroaches and springtails in the front row to pierce the enemy's array.
The Hydralisks got rid of the interference and reopened their jet chambers. The overwhelming thorn needles shot into the area where the clawed vipers were concentrated with a harsh "chichi" sound like migratory locusts, and large clouds of cold blood spurted out.
, the snake people's painful screams echoed throughout the square.
The initiative on the battlefield was once again firmly in the hands of the insect swarm, and as the active area increased, more and more insect units were summoned by Xue Hua, quickly turning the initiative into victory.
The sharp-clawed vipers in the square were still resisting, and they pounced on the insect swarm's defense line fearlessly.
However, when the Exterminators were summoned by Xue Hua due to the expansion of space, the charge of these clawed vipers turned into a sad joke.
The V-shaped bone shields of the exterminators cannot be shaken by the flesh and blood of the clawed vipers. The only consequence of charging rashly towards the bone shields covered with spikes is to become a puddle stuck to the bone shields.
Bloody mud.
As the insect swarm troops pressed forward, the clawed vipers' activity space quickly retreated to the second half of the square. Only when the large group of clawed vipers were cleared from the center of the square did Xue Hua see that
In the central area, there is an altar made of bones with a large number of runes carved on it.
The altar is empty, and there is a strange-shaped hole in the center of the altar.
Seeing this hole, Xue Hua instantly thought of the "polished spine" lying in his inventory.
Just as he was curiously taking out this strange-shaped staff and gesturing next to the hole in the altar, Isa suddenly reminded him in the main hive mind that the swarm had discovered the clawed viper's long-range attack unit.
position and asked him if he wanted to go over and take a look.
To be honest, Xue Hua was really curious about the origin of those bone spears. If the insect swarm didn't have an insect host that could create a shield, he would have suffered a big loss at the hands of those guys this time.
Therefore, he specially told Isa that if the insect swarm discovered the long-range attacker of the Clawed Viper, he should quickly remind him and let him see what was causing trouble.
When the swarm of insects disintegrated the last few counterattacks of the Clawed Vipers, they found the group of long-range attackers who had shrunk into the corner.
Because of Xue Hua's order, the insect swarm did not attack them, but just blocked them there and prevented them from moving.
"Oh? Let me see..."
Xue Hua quickly stood up, shifted his vision to a mother insect, and looked at the long-range shooters who were forced into corners by the insect swarm.
Then he was surprised to find that he had seen these things before in the records sent back by the springtails who went down to investigate.
It's the kind of snake man who doesn't have long claws on his hands, but has two protruding bone spears on his shoulder blades on his back.
And what surprised him even more was that not only were the number of this group of snake-men much smaller than that of ordinary sharp-clawed vipers, but they actually seemed to have intelligence and could feel fear!
Normal sharp-clawed vipers don't know how to be afraid at all, which Xue Hua had learned in the previous battle.
They don't care about numbers, tactics, or the situation of the enemy or ourselves, they just do what they see.
However, no matter how powerful the enemy is, those sharp-clawed vipers will not hesitate to rush forward and fight with their lives.
But these "Spear Vipers" that appeared in front of him now... let's just call them that... These Spear Vipers were different. When they were cornered by the insect swarm, they stopped very wisely.
They stopped all aggressive behavior and huddled together in the corner with a cowardly look.
This is obviously not something that a creature without intelligence can do!
And when you think about the accuracy of their target selection when attacking a swarm...
These guys are definitely intelligent, at least as intelligent as primates!
Xue Hua held his chin and thought about it. He thought of what the old cat man had told him about the origins of these snake men.
