Chapter 76 Zerg (please subscribe)
If a person loses even the most basic principles and bottom line, then no matter how high the final achievement is, it will be meaningless.
After making the decision, Song Chi agreed.
"Okay, let's try it. By the way, there is indeed the kind of crystal box you mentioned before in the second floor space."
Hearing the words "crystal box" , Shen Qing's eyes became more determined.
The crystal box on the first floor seals a blue rare object and several white rare objects. The rare objects stored in the crystal box on the second floor will only be more precious.
While the two were discussing, ripples flashed through the space curtain in front of them, and then a Zerg half a meter high and nearly three meters long fell from the sky.
These Zerg are all green and black, and are covered in hard carapace. The mouthparts at the front of their heads are particularly ferocious. They open and close with a cold light, which is even more powerful than the sharpest iron pliers. terror.
The top of the space curtain is hundreds of meters away from the first level of the ground. These Zerg do not have wings or anything. Song Chi and Shen Qing originally thought they would just fall down, but they didn’t. Hundreds of them would have been killed, but the hardness of these Zerg carapace was unexpected.
Falling like this from a height of hundreds of meters, it was completely fine when it fell to the ground. While making a strange neighing sound from its mouth, it rushed towards the direction of the Cangqiong and Qingfeng.
Seeing this, the main and secondary guns on the two nether energy airships opened fire with all their strength. The extremely penetrating beam rays easily tore apart the proud carapace of these Zerg. It is indeed surprisingly hard, but that is only compared to creatures of the same level or attack methods.
Most of these Zerg are just level zero. Under the fire of two first-level fireships, the so-called carapace is just a film with a slightly higher hardness, even if it is a little thicker than an ordinary film. , but still vulnerable.
For a time, broken limbs were flying around, dark green blood was splattering in all directions, and the entire space on the first floor began to be filled with a foul smell.
The blood of these Zerg races is dark green in color and has a strong fishy smell. As it continues to accumulate, the entire space is shrouded in a green poisonous mist, making the already dark environment Now I can no longer see anything at all.
That is, the thermal scanner on the airship can clearly track the number of Zerg below that has not decreased at all, but seems to be gradually increasing.
The particle beam cannon on the Cangqiong and the ship-based main gun on the Qingfeng are both ray attacks. The penetration and range of this attack are excellent, but the disadvantage is that it is difficult to Causes damage in a wide area and is extremely passive when facing enemies known for their numbers.
If it weren’t for the secondary cannon that could fire almost infinitely, I’m afraid there would be more than half the number of Zerg in this layer of space at this moment.
Just when the two of them were having a huge headache, an alarm from the semi-automatic shipboard intelligence made it even worse.
"Beep, beep, warning, the concentration of poisonous mist outside the ship has reached level one. Due to the erosion of the poisonous mist, the energy shield begins to decline."
Originally, the two airships were suspended above hundreds of Meter high in the sky, it has a natural geographical advantage. Even if there are more Zerg below, it will be difficult to attack them. You can attack, retreat or defend, which is enough to ensure your own safety.
But now, the geographical advantage of high altitude will no longer exist, and the poisonous fog from the outside has filled the entire closed space. No matter where the two airships hide, they cannot avoid the thick fog that has reached the first level.
"Daqing, let's go up. There are already more than 20,000 Zerg on this floor. There shouldn't be many Zerg left on the second floor!"
In desperation, Song Chi proposed a plan The two hit it off immediately and controlled the airship towards the second-layer space curtain.
Above, there is still a steady stream of Zerg pouring out of the space curtain. Their slimy bodies and sharp mouthparts look particularly disgusting.
Song Chi and Shen Qing looked at each other, and the engines behind the airship each roared, pushing the two airships upward.
Dong dong dong!
The falling Zerg constantly hit the Sky's energy shield, causing ripples to appear on the shield's light curtain, which was then quickly bounced away.
These Zerg are not stupid either. They try their best to control the dense joints on their bodies in order to stabilize their bodies. At the same time, their ferocious mouthparts are also gnawing at the shield light curtain crazily.
The energy shield on the surface of the Sky began to flash continuously, and the shield value dropped several times faster than before.
Just kidding, what do these Zerg claim to be able to swallow everything? Not to mention their terrifying mouthparts, even if they are just a group of zero-level Zerg, the power of their mouthparts is also extraordinary, even if the energy shield components carried by the Sky are of orange glory quality.
Looking at Shen Qing's side, the Qingfeng's performance was even worse. Under the bite of some zero-level Zerg, the light curtain on the surface of the Qingfeng had dimmed by more than half, and it seemed that if there was no more, it would be completely overloaded.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long. The two airships faced the falling insect tide and quickly passed through the space curtain above. When they reached the bright second layer of space, Song Chi quickly pulled The high altitude of the airship quickly widened the distance between it and the insect swarm below.
Looking around, Shen Qing quickly understood why Song Chi showed such an expression before. Compared with the tens of thousands of insect waves, most of these giant insects had been torn apart from below. Egg-shaped things are obviously more creepy.
It’s hard to imagine how wonderful the look on my face would be if the second layer of space curtain was really opened when I explored this ruins last time.
Just when Goosebumps appeared all over Shen Qing's body, Song Chi's voice suddenly came.
“We must find a way to kill that insect queen first.”
Hearing the word “insect queen”, Shen Qing turned his eyes and looked deep ahead. The extremely eye-catching nest of sarcoma that is tens of meters high is located there.
Judging from the height of this sarcoma nest, the level of the insect queen inside it should not be too high. After all, the body of the insect queen of the Zerg race is extremely bloated and huge, far higher than the average level of the same level. Zerg.
According to the official data of Xinhuo Human Civilization, generally the size of zero-level insect queens is within ten meters, while first-level insect queens can often grow to tens of meters, and even some first-level peak insect queens The final volume can reach close to one hundred meters.
Obviously, the insect queen in front of me is most likely not higher than the second level. Logically speaking, a creature of this level should not be so fearful to two first-level fireships. That's right, but the key is that this is a worm queen.
Even if it is an insect queen that does not have enough energy supply and the eggs it lays are not enough threats, it is definitely not comparable to other creatures of the same level.
In addition to being able to continuously lay eggs in large quantities and in short cycles, most insect queens often control an extremely powerful elite insect guard army. This insect guard army All the Zerg in the Zerg will be the strongest and highest level Zerg in the entire hive. They don't know if the insect queen in the second layer of ruins has such an army of insect guards under her command. If not, that is naturally a good thing. But if there is, it must not be awakened yet, because these tens of thousands have already awakened. Among the Zerg that came, we have not yet seen the first class.
In order to avoid the emergence of this insect guard army that is not sure whether it exists, they must take action first. After all, just these tens of thousands of zero-level bugs have already made them miserable. If If there is another elite Zerg army of the first level, their probability of getting the items in the crystal box not far away will be infinitely close to zero.
Needless to say, the two looked at each other, and then nodded in unison. They quickly stopped cleaning the small insect nests below that had not been broken open, and the two airships rushed straight ahead a kilometer away. That huge sarcoma outside.
At the same time, the muzzle of the gun turned, aimed at the giant sarcoma, and then opened fire again.
But the subsequent result surprised the two of them, and their faces became particularly ugly.
“Damn it, how can the first-order insect queen’s insect nest be so strong...”
Shen Qing gritted his teeth.
The attacks of the two first-order main guns on the Cangqiong and Qingfeng could only leave a very shallow trace on the giant insect nest. This was something the two of them did not expect at all.
At this time, Song Chi's projection on the communication screen said:
"It is indeed impossible for the first-order insect queen's insect nest to reach such a level, unless the insect queen first built the nest with more than one level. "
Using this hypothesis, the two people speculated along the way, and finally found that the further they pushed back, the more reasonable it was, and then they determined the specific situation of this insect queen.
According to their speculation, the insect queen has been trapped in this closed space for more than a long time. With the lack of energy supply for many years, in order to maintain its own life, the insect queen can only consume the accumulated energy in it. The energy in the body, the bloated body is shrinking as time goes by.
When the energy in the body is consumed to a certain level, in order to replenish the decreasing body energy, the oversized insect nest also begins to shrink slowly. Finally, the insect queen and the nest itself are reduced to Now it's tens of meters.
After guessing this, the two of them already believed most of the result, and at the same time, they became more and more determined to deal with this insect queen in advance.
A first-level insect queen is likely to be second-level, third-level, or even higher. Even if most of the life energy in her body has been dissipated due to various reasons, and she is now reduced to the first level again, her terror is still there. It is definitely not something that can be measured by ordinary first-level creatures. If it cannot be killed, Song Chi and Shen Qing will probably be in deep danger.
Since the long-range bombardment had no effect, the two decided to let the airship continue to approach and continue bombarding the same point at close range. They did not believe that they still could not break through the fleshy wall of the nest.
Just as the Qiong and Qingfeng were approaching quickly, the rows of sarcoma nests below were shattered at the same time, and then a new Zerg with a head shape that was completely different from the tens of thousands of Zerg before suddenly appeared.
“It’s a splash bug, be careful to dodge!!”
Song Chi, who recognized it for the first time, reminded loudly that this very different kind of bug is called a sputtering bug. It is different from the previous iron beetles with extremely hard carapace. Although this kind of sputtering bug does not have a hard carapace, it does not have amazing strength. , but it can spit out an extremely corrosive acid.
Even though it was often said in textbooks in the past that the range of the zero-level sputtering bug's acid spray was limited, that was only relative to the vast sea of stars. In this enclosed space less than a thousand meters high, this splashing bug had a limited range. Can the acid sprayed by the archer cover any location?
The two fast-moving airships suddenly stagnated and began to rotate their hulls to avoid the dense acid shooting from below.
The corrosiveness of these acids is astonishing, plus there are thousands of sputtering bugs below, and the two psionic airships have already lost a lot of shield value, if this is the case He rushed over in a daze. The Cangqiong was okay, but Shen Qing's Qingfeng was bound to be unable to withstand it. The energy shield was completely overloaded.
But the problem is coming again. The giant sarcoma insect nest in the distance has begun to tremble slightly, and the sleeping insect queen inside is waking up. If they are blocked by these sputtering insects for too long, they will definitely miss the opportunity to kill the insect queen in advance. opportunity.
When the Insect Queen wakes up completely, let’s not talk about whether the Cang Qiong and Qing Feng can completely clean up all the Zerg including this Insect Queen. Even if it can be done, the time required will not be enough. will be short.
It is now less than ten hours before they return. Even if all the Zerg are cleared out later, there will be no time for them to open the crystal box.
According to the fact that it took the Qingfeng more than ten hours to completely break the blockade on the Crystal Box last time, even if the two psionic airships Cangqiong and Qingfeng did it together this time, It takes more than five hours anyway, so the time is completely insufficient.
Just when Shen Qing was struggling, Song Chi spoke first.
"Daqing, why don't we withdraw? We don't have a group attack main gun, and it will be difficult to break through the attack network of these splash bugs in a short time."
It's not that Song Chi is selfish, but in this situation, he must either go all out to make a surprise attack that has a low success rate and may be followed by great dangers, or he must give up this exploration of the opponent. In short, he must make a decision as soon as possible. , hesitation will only increase the danger of the two psionic airships.
Seemingly stimulated by the word "withdraw" in Song Chi's mouth, the hesitation in Shen Qing's eyes finally turned into determination. He wanted to give it a try.
The first layer of the ruins has blue-quality star sea rare objects. The quality of the rare objects sealed in the crystal box on the second layer must be higher.
As a person who has only awakened the Colorless Fire Seed and whose upper limit is stuck at the first level, Shen Qing is naturally unwilling to accept it. He promoted Qingfeng in just one year. After reaching the first level of the Nether Energy Airship, as long as you practice step by step in the future, it is basically a certainty to break through to lv10 with the Nether Energy Guidance Technique.
But that's it. The colorless quality of the Xinhuo Seed makes the Qingfeng destined to be unable to cross the threshold of the psionic airship and reach the realm of the guard-level psionic airship. The psionic energy training platform bound to the level of the spacecraft itself is destined to only reach lv19. With only lv19 psionic energy training platform, it will be difficult for him to break through lv20 in the psionic energy guidance technique and get the second place in the next 160 years. sublimation of life.
So in the final analysis, the quality of the Fire Seed must be improved.
How difficult is it to upgrade the quality of Fire Seed? Without great opportunities, an ordinary first-level fireship would never be able to scrape together enough to purchase an upgraded fireship resource in its lifetime.
What is a big opportunity? Shen Qing didn't know anything else, but what was sealed in the crystal box on the second floor could definitely be considered in his eyes.
On the first floor, rare objects of blue quality can appear in the star sea. The crystal box on the second floor is likely to contain rare objects of purple quality. Thinking of this, Shen Qing turned to the communication screen. Song Chi said:
"Xiaochi, I want to try!!!"
