Chapter 16: The Elemental Queen

"... Have you heard of such a big monster..."

"I remember, Lilith said that they had met a very powerful Invincible Lobster King (CrawmeraxtheInvincible), and I don't know who named it... It is said that the monster is so big..."

The two of them are now lying on a high aisle, staring at the giant spider ant queen underneath with an optical sight. This aisle was originally supposed to be used to dump garbage, but now it has become the observation point for the two.

The reason for the attack on the refinery is now clear.

There was obviously a spider ant queen frozen under the ice and snow tundra. As for whether it grew so big later or was originally a mutant in the population, it could no longer be verified. And just above its head, the Hyberian Company built a refinery of the element.

Affected by the heat and leaking sewage of Yi elemental residues, the spider ant queen, who had been frozen for unknown reason, was gradually infected by Yi element during the thawing process and mutated into its current appearance. Later, the spider ants it gave birth to dig through the ice rock on the top, dug through the foundation of the refinery, and then rushed out to kill the unexpected workers. Then the queen ant directed the worker ants to move all the Yi element they could collect to the bottom of the factory.

Now, the spider ant queen is soaked in the purple pool of Yi Element. Originally, this place might have been a garbage dump in the refinery, but now it has become a small purple garbage valley. The concentration of Yi Element below is so high that it produces a thick purple-black mist that never dissipates.

And in this thick purple mist, the figure of the spider ant queen, like a hill, is looming. Most of the time, the spider ant queen's body looks like a purple sewage that looks splashed. However, occasionally, the surface of its carapace will have golden red patterns like lava flowing, or blue-white current mesh runes, or circular yellow-green corroded acid patterns.

"Damn... how to fight this... all attributes are available... can you only bombard with explosive weapons?"

Su Jing touched the rocket launcher on his back, but there were only three boxes of thirty rockets in total. Judging from the size of the monster below, even if it was poured up... it would only be seriously injured at most?

"Are you sure we want to play this? If you use the adventurer's star rating, this spider ant may have reached...Four stars? Only Mr. Ivan can say that he will win in a single fight..."

Su Jing contacted Selina. After listening to his description for a while, the octopus woman said decisively:

[Retreat, Su Jing. This level of monster cannot be captured by the two of you from the front. When you withdraw first, we will send a special action team to solve this problem.]

“Um…”

In the game, I am used to rushing up to brush up any bosses. It's okay if I die, but this is a world where I can't survive if I die. The legendary New-U personal insurance system... Su Jing doesn't want to try whether he will be resurrected.

"Let's go..."

“Um…”

The two of them secretly got up and were about to leave when three or four spider ants with yellow and green sour mist rushed out from the opposite side of the aisle. The two of them reacted quickly and immediately turned around and ran away. As a result, an orange spider ants king appeared on the way, blocking the passage.

"It's over!"

"They have discovered us long ago!"

Now Su Jing can confirm two things:

First, the spider ants did not forget these two invaders.

Second, the spider ant queen below deliberately attracted them.

Now Su Jing understood why the search team in front was wiped out so unknown. They must have encountered the same situation, lured into the depths by the spider ants, and then caught them all in one go.

The corrosive spider ant sprayed out acid liquid, corroding one end of the cast iron high-altitude passage. The already very slender working passage could not bear the weight of the two people at this moment, and broke with a snap. Su Jing and Gai Qi screamed and slowly fell from an altitude of at least thirty meters above the ground - Pandora's low gravity saved their lives again - or on the contrary. Su Jing could see that the spider ant queen below had lifted her claws and waited for the two to land within its attack range.

"Wooahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

In the precious time of the three or four seconds of falling, Gai Qi finally raised her mechanical left hand and snapped her fingers:

"The Death Mechanism - Summon!!"

The reason why Gai Qi is called "Mechromancer" is because she used her genius engineering technology to hide her proud battle robot "DeathTrap" in the folding space attached to her left arm.

Before this, Gai Qi refused to pull out her machine summoning objects to open her eyes. In her words, "The death mechanism is not used to play with a chorus, it is a real killing machine, buddy."

At this moment, the death mechanism rushed out of the void and caught Su Jing and Gai Qi with one claw. The spider ant queen's sharp claws were swept in the air, and the queen, who could not tear her prey in half, made an angry hissing sound.

"Huh... it's so dangerous... I can be considered to have survived."

The two were lying in the arms of the death mechanism. It was not until this moment that Su Jing had the opportunity to look at the battle robot that had summoned countless times in the game.

The death mechanism is about one meter high. This red and black robot has only the upper body, and the lower body is replaced by a flame propeller. Its control and energy center is hidden in the chest, protected by thick armor, and there is also a laser emitter on the front chest. The hands are a pair of wolverine-like claws, and a pair of samurai swords are hung behind it... According to Gaiqi's explanation, it can also be replaced with ion jet knives or high-energy shock knives according to different circumstances.

The death mechanism was holding the two of them and floating at an altitude of more than ten meters. This position happened to be a safe height that the spider ant queen could not hit. The queen sprayed a few thick spider webs, but Gaiqi operated the death mechanism to flexibly avoid it.

"Wait...If you let your robot hold us like this, then can we just use it to death?"

"Then we have to act faster, and the high-energy fuel that pushes the death trap can only last...three or four minutes."

After looking at each other, the two of them took out the heaviest firepower on their bodies. Su Jing removed the sniper rifle, and handed the rocket launcher to Gai Qi to operate.

Bang!

Su Jing fired a shot. It was originally very difficult to snipe in such an unstable place, but the Queen's size was too large. Its abdominal weakness was visible in the sky, and even a blind man could hit it.

A hole appeared on the queen's buttocks, and thick purple and golden liquid slowly flowed out of the wound. However, this hole was insignificant compared to the queen's giant body...

"Use grenade!"

The large number of grenades found in the ammunition room before were useful. The two of them threw down all the grenades, regardless of their attributes or effects. Twenty or thirty grenades exploded below, and all the effects of flames, lightning, acid mist, and purple slag were crushed all over the Spider Ant Queen.

Gai Qi didn't think it was enough, so he pressed a box of rockets into the launcher, aimed at the buttocks of the Spider Ant Queen, and then blasted them all out regardless. Ten rockets dragged their tail flames and exploded on the Spider Ant Queen, and large fountains of purple blood spilled out like fountains.

The purple mist everywhere was also stirred up and rolled in the explosions, dissipating a lot. When the clouds dissipated, the scarred body of the Spider Ant Queen was completely presented to the two of them.

"Add another move!" Gaiqi shouted excitedly, "It's almost out of the way! We can kill it before the fuel runs out!!"

"Uh...Do you think...we are...sinking?"

At some point, the rocket ejector of the Death Agency seemed to be somewhat insufficient in power, and the height of the two was gradually decreasing.

Gai Qi was so panicked that her face was sweating. She didn't care about the queen of the ant and threw the rocket launcher to Su Jing. She crawled behind the death mechanism to check the thruster's fault. She didn't even notice that the skeleton rabbit under her skirt was exposed to Su Jing's eyes.

"Damn...this damn purple slag mist... has eroded my engine!!"

Under the impact of this ominous news, Su Jing threw his sniper rifle directly, took out the lighter revolver and beeping axe, preparing for the most dangerous close combat.

Relying on the last little residual power, Gaiqi tried her best to fly the death mechanism a little farther and landed in the corner of the garbage mountain. As soon as the death mechanism landed, Gaiqi took the robot back into the compressed space. Su Jing waved the beeping axe and gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go to the front to attract its attention, and you can use a rocket launcher to cover me in the back!"

"This... cough cough... I'm better than you... I... cough cough cough..."

Gai Qi even had difficulty breathing in the purple mist. As the amount of purple slag inhaled more and more, the girl knelt on the ground and kept coughing. Su Jing hesitated for a second, placed the rocket launcher in front of her, hung one of the boxes of ten rockets on her waist, and rushed towards the Spider Ant Queen alone.

Zizhao is harmful to normal people, but he lives with demon hunting insects on his body!

The mutated demon hunting insects are staying in their left eye. Not only do they not have to fear the erosion of the purple mist, but they can even feel that the increasingly stronger energy is condensing in their left eye...increasing!!

Su Jing finished the revolver bullet of a bullet wheel in one breath. The large-caliber bullet could only wipe out shallow pits on the armor of the Spider Ant Queen's head, which could not cause effective damage at all.

The angry spider ant queen roared, and in its mouth, a golden-red hot energy ball was rapidly condensed. With its size, the energy ball condensed was one size larger than Su Jing. Su Jing had no doubt that if he was hit by this flame ball, even if he used a blue adaptive shield, he would be burned into ashes by one blow, and there was no other possibility.

At this moment, Su Jing stopped. This twenty-year-old man with a crazy factor hidden deep in his heart stood in front of the Spider Ant Queen, motionless, but just raised the beeping axe in his hand high and provoked the Spider Ant Queen, who was hundreds of times larger than him!!

Behind her is the unprepared Gai Qi. If she retreats here, the aftermath of the energy bomb alone will seriously hurt her! At that time, even if she can survive, Gai Qi will be dead!

Sometimes, as a man, he cannot retreat at all. Death is really not important to him. What he sacrifices himself to protect is a plot character in the game - he never even thought about this idea - but he wants to make himself die worthy. This is Su Jing's romantic aesthetics. Even if he dies here, he must die upright, like a hero, to protect others.

The Spider Ant Queen roared loudly, and then the energy bomb in her mouth blew straight towards Su Jing!

Amid Gaiqi's loud whine, Su Jing's figure was completely swallowed by the golden-red energy wave. The volume of the energy bomb gradually expanded, but suddenly shrank suddenly and then exploded-

The Explosion was not as violent as Gaiqi imagined. She knew that it was because Su Jing had endured most of the power on the front. Under this power, he had no chance of surviving. She wiped her tears, raised the rocket launcher at her hand, and used her blurry eyes to fit the scope, aiming at the ugly face of the Spider Ant Queen.

At this time, a figure appeared in the scope. Gaiqi was so shocked that she forgot to pull the trigger, but just stared at the back in a daze.

Bathed in the fire, Su Jing untied the scrapped shield generator from his belt and threw it aside. His exposed skin was rolling with golden red light, and his left eye turned into a pure red gold color. He grinned and laughed arrogantly, while the beeping axe in his right hand was still raised high.

"You can set fire, can't I?! Don't underestimate people!!"

Su Jing started running.

Su Jing began to accelerate.

Su Jing jumped up.
Chapter completed!
