In the blink of an eye, another three months have passed, and Qu Jianlei has completely mastered the phototherapy technique.
After casting several light therapy beams on himself, he did some divination and discovered that the threat of the flying centipede still existed.
This result may not be very accurate. After all, medicine does not heal itself, and the same goes for divination.
But it shouldn't be much different. He didn't feel that obvious threat.
Qu Jianlei can be sure that the Flying Centipede has not completely disappeared. If it is not taken seriously, it will cause disaster sooner or later.
But this is not important, the other party's recovery will take a long time, and by that time, he may have already left his body.
Before he knew it, Qu Jianlei had been staying in the cave for almost a year.
So he said hello to Tianyin and then left the cave together.
Outside the cave is still the regiment-level ship, wandering back and forth in space.
Duogan and others practice cultivation and relax.
Hua Xingzi and Bentley are doing maintenance on the regiment-level ship. In the past, Xiaohu was responsible for doing this kind of work, but now they can only do it.
However, Jing Yuexin and Jia Shuiqing were nowhere to be seen.
As soon as Qu Jianlei came out, many Shenshijie gangsters spotted the two of them, and the paranoid man came over in an instant carrying a wine bottle.
He asked in surprise, "Boss, are you... okay?"
"How is that possible?" Qu Jianlei smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It will take at least two or three years, but we can fight now."
It's not that he can't stand being lonely, but the fact is that the team is still in the enemy's territory.
How could he recuperate carefully in such an environment? It is quite rare for everyone to be able to wander here for a year.
He said it was time to move on. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn’t know how to persuade them.
Two days later, Jing Yuexin and Jia Shuiqing came back. They had nothing to do and went back to the empire.
The team stayed here for too long, and Dogan suggested that in order to prevent psychological problems, they should go back from time to time.
By the way, you can also inquire about the dynamics of the empire and learn about the situation in Tiangou Mansion.
Anyone who has lived in space all year round knows that claustrophobia is something that deserves serious attention.
Anyway, for more than half a year, Asura has not sent more troops in this direction, so the defensive pressure is not great.
From time to time, a handful of small nests appear, which are simply not large enough for a regiment-level ship to sweep them away.
Jing Yuexin originally wanted to persuade the boss to rest for a while.
However, Qu Jianlei had made up his mind and said that since the cave was with him, this would not be affected.
Seriously, Asura didn't move for such a long time, maybe he was holding back some big move.
They are in the hinterland of Asura, like a nail. I believe no one can endure this situation.
Since no one objected, they left two battalion-level ships to guard the area.
——After all, this is the territory they fought for, and it cannot be abandoned easily.
As for who should be left to guard, Qu Jianlei chose Hua Xiezi - she and her clones can take care of them completely.
The fourth master suggested recruiting Xiao Moshan and Xiao Qin - these two have been enjoying themselves for a long time.
Moreover, they are a couple and have known each other for many years, so they will not be too lonely in space.
Xiao Moshan and his two men received the message from Xiangxue and rushed over without saying a word.
Next, the scarred regiment-level ship set sail again, sailing towards the depths of the Link Nebula.
After traveling for two days, they encountered Asura's former lair, and then Sun's lair.
The regiment-level ship moved forward while fighting, and not long after, more nests came to help.
Obviously, Asura has tactically given up the lost ground and is currently in a state of strict defense.
The fourth master was a little confused about this, "When did these guys... become smarter?"
He has fought against Asura the most, and his evaluation of this race's IQ is not very high.
Asura is not without any wisdom, and some of the human race's tricks may not work.
However, this race is too militant, and it is easy to get into trouble once they start fighting. This is caused by the characteristics of the race.
Now, as they go deeper and deeper, the resistance they encounter from Asura is becoming more and more tenacious.
After fighting for a while, Qu Jianlei felt a little sorry for the regiment-level ship with the LOGO, so he released two alliance regiment-level ships.
Not long after they were released, four secondary nests came from a distance.
When they discovered that the enemy actually had three regiment-level ships, they obviously hesitated, but still rushed over.
"There is a brood nest nearby," the paranoid man glanced at the boss and found that he had no intention of speaking, so he immediately made a decision.
"Send six more battalion-level ships out to minimize damage."
When Qu Jianlei was resting, the battle instructions related to Asura came from him, the fourth master, and Bentley.
But at that time, what everyone was thinking about was maintenance. There was no need to release too many warships, and it was enough to slowly fight a war of attrition.
Now that we are going deep into the enemy's territory, we can no longer hide and tuck them in. We must reduce battle losses as much as possible.
They don't know how many battles are waiting for them during the rest of their journey.
As for not exposing the division-level ship, it is necessary to hide it so as not to scare the opponent away.
Qu Jianlei has always believed that the most correct method of combat is to concentrate superior forces to annihilate the opponent.
If your own side shows too much strength, it will scare away the enemy, and then the scattered soldiers will get together, which will pose a greater threat to the team.
He insisted that the decisive factor in winning or losing a war is to destroy the opponent's effective force to the greatest extent possible.
Asura's reproductive ability is not very strong, at least a little worse than that of humans, and it requires a lot of resources to grow and grow.
With the current population policy of the empire, it will also increase the encouragement of births, which is enough to prove that war requires manpower.
Paranoid and others all recognized the old brigade's understanding of war, and were even a little surprised, so they would naturally imitate him.
Six battalion-level ships and three regiment-level ships launched a fierce attack on the surrounding nest.
During the battle, Digital Phantom's regiment-level ship was slightly behind, mainly because it wanted to keep this signature ship.
However, although their offensive was fierce, Asura's counterattack was also very determined, and batches of nests continued to arrive.
Those Asuras who lost their lairs also rushed towards the warships in space without fear of death.
After fighting for about half a day, Asura's nests did not decrease, but even increased.
On Qu Jianlei's side, two battalion-class ships have been seriously injured, and other warships have also suffered losses.
They had to release three more battalion-level ships and six company-level ships.
Seeing that the Asuras refused to retreat, Duogan went out of the cabin to sacrifice the cloud crown, absorbing the Asuras and the broken lairs fighting in space.
As soon as this move came out, the Asuras were briefly confused, and then they pounced on them even more ferociously.
"Are you trying to spend money?" The paranoid snorted coldly, "Who is afraid of whom?"
"Slow down the pace of releasing battleships," Qu Jianlei said. "The current artificial intelligence does not support large calculations."
In fact, the current situation is really suitable for the current situation of Digital Phantom.
Fighting for consumption will be painful, but once the scale of the battle expands, one's own computing power will not be able to keep up.
The other party was also very cooperative. The mother nest could not survive, but the subordinate nests emerged one after another.
In the blink of an eye, another day and night passed, and the battle was still fierce. The Digital Phantom fleet had advanced less than a million kilometers.
Jia Shuiqing floated in from outside the cabin and handed the cloud crown to Qu Jianlei, "It seems to be full."
"Finally...full?" Qu Jianlei took the cloud crown and disappeared in a flash, "I'm going to test it."
He went to the Portable Cave, where the space was relatively large. Although it couldn't accommodate a complete mother nest, it could at least be tested.
Everyone didn't pay attention. We are currently in the tug-of-war stage. Everyone should always pay attention to the battlefield situation.
This battle was extremely fierce and long-lasting.
Five days later, the Digital Phantom side had lost nine regiment-level ships, more than thirty battalion-level ships, and more than fifty company-level ships.
The reason why company-class ships lose less is because they are used less - the combat power of this level is not enough, and it also consumes computing power.
Moreover, after the vast majority of warships are seriously damaged, they will try to rush forward to fight against the fire.
After being deceived several times, Asura learned the lesson. When he saw these desperate warships, he immediately scattered and avoided them.
This race has always claimed to be brave, but when faced with a life-for-life style of play, they are still a little frightened.
They still don't know that there is no one inside those warships that burst into flames.
In fact, Asura's losses were not small. More than forty secondary nests were lost, and other small nests could not be counted at all.
At this moment, Qu Jianlei appeared again, "How is the battle going?"
When he heard clearly, he frowned slightly and said, "Release a division-level ship... from the Alliance."
Paranoid was fighting vigorously, and upon hearing this, he said, "We still have plenty of inventory of these small and medium-sized warships."
"We need to consider a decisive battle," Qu Jianlei said in a deep voice, "We have destroyed more than 40 secondary nests. What does it mean?"
The paranoid man finally woke up from his paranoia, "Boss, are you saying that there are... many brood nests around?"
According to their understanding, each Asura mother nest has only four or five secondary nests.
Even if there are six or seven, and two of the brood nests are left to defend themselves, the number of brood nests gathered around them is probably close to double digits.
Qu Jianlei spread his hands, "Maybe not, we don't understand Asura's cooperation mechanism yet, but we have to guard against it."
At this moment, Daochang Jiao spoke up, "Asuras mostly live in tribes, and the coordination ability of the royal family is limited."
The paranoid looked at him when he heard this, "You didn't know earlier!"
As the understanding of immortal cultivators increases, everyone is no longer as easy to express opinions as before.
How the hell are you talking to me? Daochang Jiao was so angry that his liver hurt, but he finally said, "Who knows if there are any exceptions?"
"And with our strength, if there are more than ten brood nests... is it difficult to defeat them?"
"The fight can be fought, but we have to continue to go deeper!" The paranoid replied unconvinced.
However, he did not continue to argue, and instead released a division-level ship.
