Chapter 8 The Mysterious Dune Clearance Battle (2)
Boom!!
A violent explosion broke out in the middle of the vanguard of the insect swarm, and a giant lizard with a bud-like crown on its head jumped out from the pile of springtails where the bombed people were turned upside down.
The flower crown on the head of this weird guy will secrete an extremely explosive gas when it is attacked. The explosive power of this gas is quite strong, and it can easily knock an Exterminator to the ground.
"Spear Hunter!" A mother insect neighed loudly.
Dozens of bloodletting thorn spears immediately flew out from the group of long-range troops behind it, and instantly pinned the Corolla Lizard to the ground.
This kind of lizard is just the most insignificant of the difficult creatures that the insect swarm encountered after entering the central area of the mysterious sand dunes. Previously, there was a giant stone giant disguised as a green mesa, trying to sneak attack the extinct animals passing by its feet in the front row.
Where is the person!
If the Overwatch King Insect in the sky hadn't sensed the life signal that quickly became active in the "tableland" in advance, a whole team of more than fifty exterminators would have disappeared immediately in the sneak attack of the stone giant.
Even so, the swarm finally spent a full ten minutes in siege, consuming hundreds of poisonous banelings and countless saboteur shells, before they were able to dismantle the giant stone man with the flanking attack of Ultralisks and the fire support of the Air Force Heavy Artillery Governor.
It became gravel all over the ground.
Ever since the Zerg troops entered the central area of the mysterious sand dunes, their advance has become slower and slower.
The further you go towards the central area, the more various strange and powerful creatures there are.
There is also the blood-red gauze mist that has always been diffused around the insect swarm. These ominous fogs seem to be nothing. They have no other use except hindering the meticulous detection of the supervisory king insect. However, the two high-ranking Zerg commanders are concerned about this.
Feeling a little uneasy.
Zagara ordered the poisonous insect swarms in the team to spray bacterial fog to cover the Zerg troops, trying to prevent any Zerg unit from coming into contact with the strange blood-red mist.
In addition, an increasingly stronger spiritual energy wave is also coming from the central area of the sand dune. This spiritual energy wave itself is very stable, just like the breathing of something, rising and falling with an extremely regular pattern.
In the high altitude, Stukov's first fleet of insect swarms was always monitoring the movements in the central area of the dune. Through the observation of the monitoring king insect, it determined that the source of the red mist was less than two kilometers in front of the insect swarm.
But the two-kilometer journey was so difficult. As the insect swarm went deeper, the creatures they encountered became larger and larger.
The stone giants even began to appear in groups. They attacked the insect swarm in groups of three and five. Zagara had to gather most of the Thunder Beasts to deal with these five-foot-tall monsters.
A sixty-meter behemoth.
In addition to this kind of stone giant, there is also a giant invisible creature in the mist that is constantly harassing the rear troops of the insect swarm. These ghosts themselves can be completely invisible, and they also hide their bodies in those that can shield the detection.
In the gauze mist, the Overwatch King Insect is very slow to perceive them.
The shadow insect troops in the insect swarm were sent by Zagara to deal with these invisible monsters. From time to time, loud roars and the shrill screams of the shadow insects could be heard in the surrounding mist.
A few hours later, the insect swarm once again advanced about a kilometer. At this time, the intensity of the attack they received had completely increased to a war level. All kinds of weird and bizarre creatures kept pouring out of the gauze mist. Their...
All kinds of strange abilities bring great obstacles to the insect swarm.
At the same time, the insect swarms in the air began to be attacked continuously. A large number of giant flying creatures emerged from the gauze mist and launched crazy attacks in groups towards the interception network formed by the alien dragons.
The heavy artillery governors above the clouds fired continuously to provide fire support to the swarms on the ground and in the air. The brood lords also released a large number of brood worms all the time to try to reduce the pressure on the ground troops.
The insect swarm troops are like a person who has stepped into a quagmire. Every time they move forward one meter, they need to use up most of their body's strength.
The battle losses of the ground troops led by Zagara have reached tens of thousands, not including the unit consumption caused by the self-explosion of the poisonous banelings.
The situation of the Air Force can only be said to be slightly better. Thanks to the powerful firepower of the heavy artillery governors and the excellent anti-aircraft capabilities of the Corruptors, the losses of the Air Force have just exceeded 10,000.
But the remaining kilometer seemed so difficult that Zagara had to ask the insect mothers to divide the insect swarm troops into several independent formations and strengthen the advancing ability of the insect swarm through separate orders.
The number of stone giants appearing each time has increased from groups of dozens to groups of hundreds. They are like thick walls, standing tenaciously in front of the battlefield, hindering the advancement of the insect swarm.
The battle between the shadow bugs and the invisible giant beasts in the mist has also reached its peak, and the number of shadow bugs in the main hive mind is rapidly losing at the rate of dozens per minute.
At the same time, the true face of those invisible giant beasts was finally exposed to the insect swarm.
It was a gigantic beast that looked like a chameleon, but had six heads and was more than twenty meters long and more than ten meters tall.
The shadow bugs' monomolecular blades can cause fatal damage to these guys, but these giant chameleons can kill a shadow bug every time they stick out their tongues.
In addition to these two obstacles, there is a long-range monster that can throw plasma balls in the mist. This monster seems to live near the center of the mysterious sand dunes, and the plasma balls they shoot are extremely destructive.
Every time it hits the swarm host's nano-locust shield, it will cause a lot of ripples.
The obstacles encountered by the Zerg air force are much more complicated. In addition to various strange-looking birds, the most eye-catching one is undoubtedly a disgusting creature that looks like a flying slug.
These soft-bodied flying creatures with elytra are extremely resistant to strikes, and even the infected's main cannons need three full shots to completely destroy them.
Moreover, the mucus on these flying slugs seems to have strong energy resistance, and the high-temperature plasma of the heavy artillery viceroy needs to burn on them for more than ten seconds to completely kill them.
The attack method of these flying slugs is to spray an extremely viscous and rapidly solidifying dark green slurry at the target. Once this slurry is sprayed on the flying unit, it can solidify within a few seconds, causing the opponent to be wrapped in a layer of
into amber-like crystallized fat balls, causing the opponent to lose the ability to fly and fall to the ground into fragments.
Fortunately, the large space biological battleships of the Zerg race have empty slots for placing insect swarm hosts. The nano-locust shields released by the insect swarm hosts in these empty slots can effectively resist the amber slime of flying slugs.
However, small biological fighters such as Mutalisaurus and Prowler are more troublesome. They are basically unable to withstand the attacks of flying slugs, so they can only rely on speed to dodge.
Under such a difficult situation, the insect swarm is still tenaciously advancing slowly. The huge number base makes the insect swarm completely unafraid of life-for-life play. However, no matter how many creatures there are in the mysterious sand dunes, there are always
A limit.
Finally, after six full hours, the swarm of insects finally broke through the obstruction of these strange creatures when the sky was completely dark, and entered the real core area of the mysterious sand dunes.
When the swarm of insects rushed out of the gauze mist, the first thing that caught their eyes was a giant black slate that was almost as big as a heavy artillery governor! (To be continued)
