Dozens of alien zerg crawled out of the hole. They looked like a combination of beetles, spiders, ants and mantises. Their whole bodies were covered with a layer of cyan carapace. They were slightly smaller than the alien cat apes and had four pairs of jointed limbs.

The two pairs of arthropods are like sharp knives, and the ends of the last two pairs of arthropods are hooks. The first pair of arthropods grows on the shoulders of the upper body and does not support the body. Although their heads have three pairs of compound eyes, a pair of tentacles and

It has the characteristics of an insect consisting of large jaws, but the upright upper body and the pair of long knife-like limbs like flexible arms leave an intuitive impression that it is an intelligent species.

Charlotte recognized these bugs at a glance as the eight-limbed bugs that were the most numerous in the caves of the Azorta Temple. The difference between the two was that the eight-limbed bugs in the temple tunnels were undead and larger in size. They were almost the same size as these.

Twice the size of a living eight-limbed insect.

"Be careful, they may have intelligence and innate abilities!" Charlotte warned loudly, holding an adamantine sword.

Everyone was shocked. Undead creatures are harmless and look scary, but after more contact, everyone found that they are not difficult to deal with. If these eight-limbed insects are alive, they represent infinite possibilities, even if they have no innate power.

As long as they know how to fight together, they are more dangerous than undead creatures that behave in a dull manner.

It is not certain whether the eight-limbed insects have extraordinary talents, but everyone knows that group creatures will always cooperate.

Nelson said loudly: "I can kill all these bugs by myself, but there are still more bugs in the hole that have not come out. They are here to test us. Don't rush to do it. Take a look at Tumen first.

Does the plant the witch doctor grows work?"

The Randall expedition has a plan. The main goal is to weaken An's insect minions. The second is to use the means reserved by Victor to try to "persuade" An to abandon this lair. If the "persuasion" fails, the expedition will quickly

Retreat, leaving the orcs and Assyrian witch doctors as scapegoats.

The Fountain of Youth is of great significance to Ant-Man and the Assyrians. If you want to snatch the Fountain of Youth but are unwilling to take risks, how can it be so cheap?

The human expedition team has no desire in this regard, and of course they will not fight Queen Gross to stay in the Fountain of Youth. The Assyrians next to the spring are the first targets that the insect swarm must eliminate. Even if Randall chooses to escape during the expedition, the insects will not survive.

The group will most likely not chase them.

However, the goblins enslaved by Imerson are typically bold in numbers. They know that there are hundreds of ferocious beasts and four arrogant ogres on their side. When they see dozens of strange-looking insects rushing towards them,

, instead of being afraid, they bared their teeth and claws and made loud noises.

Imerson had to scold the hobgoblins sternly and ordered them to restrain the bugbears and ordinary goblins to prevent these orcs from rushing out and destroying Lord Nelson's tactical deployment.

Under the power of the hobgoblin's vine whip, the green dwarves finally became honest and moved the big rocks to the ogre's feet. They also picked up their slinging bows and prepared to use long-range weapons to defeat the invading insect swarm.

The eight-limbed insect paddles three pairs of jointed limbs. It runs at an astonishing speed and has good jumping ability. It can leap more than two meters high. Nelson can't help but worry whether the thorn barrier created by the great witch doctor using magic can stop these menacing beasts.

of alien insects.

In fact, the thorny branches of these thorn bushes grow thick and flexible, and their roots are particularly developed, deeply rooted in the soil, and connected together. Nelson tried it personally, and he could feel it even when he forced his way through the thorn bush.

Strong resistance, if you want to pull up the thorn bushes by their roots, you have to explode with 70% to 80% strength.

Nelson's inner fire has reached its highest level. With 70% to 80% of his strength, even a ten-ton boulder will be thrown away by him. Although beetle-like creatures are all born strongmen, when it comes to strength,

In terms of strength skills, they are far inferior to the ferocious warriors of the gold level. With their excellent flexibility, the thorn bushes can completely trap all the eight-limbed insects that rush in.

However, the thorn bush can grow to the height of a person, and the eight-limbed insects can definitely jump in. Moreover, these insects are good at digging underground holes. They can easily dig a tunnel and break through the thorn barrier from the ground.

However, it turned out that Nelson's worries were unnecessary. Dozens of eight-limbed insects rushed to a position more than 30 meters away from the thorn barrier and stopped. They wandered left and right, hissing in anger, but they did not dare to continue approaching.

It was as if there was an invisible gap separating the bugs from the thorns.

Nelson observed for a while and then ordered: "Let the Assyrians and Orcs stimulate them for a while."

Imogen immediately commanded his servants to attack the eight-limbed insects wandering outside from a distance. The Xinu family's private soldiers, wildling headhunters and goblins penetrated the gaps between the thorn bushes and used javelins, bows and arrows to shoot at the targets.

The distance between the two sides is only three to forty meters, but the long-range weapons of the servant army are too crude. Even if they are shot at the carapace of the eight-limbed bugs, they cannot break the defense. Moreover, these bugs are as agile as flies and can easily avoid most poisons by jumping around.

Arrows and stones.

Charlotte frowned, looked at the eight-limbed insects outside, and said: "They seem to be able to sense the flow of air and dodge attacks while moving. This is an ability that undead eight-limbed insects do not have."

Nelson nodded and said with a serious expression: "The Assyrians' long-range weapons are weak, and the defensive effect of the eight-limbed insect carapace cannot yet be measured."

The Imogen wizard was a little unconvinced, turned around and shouted a few words to the ogre barbarians, and then a stone larger than a human head flew out with a roar, like a stone bullet fired by a two-stringed crossbow, hitting a

The eight-limbed insect that was just jumping and moving was blasted into pieces in the air.

The powerful performance of the ogre barbarians attracted everyone's attention. Not only did they have brute strength, but their combat intuition was also terrifyingly sharp. Throwing stones could accurately hit the eight-limbed insects that were jumping in mid-air and had nowhere to rely on.

Nelson shouted to Imerson: "This cannot measure the defense of the eight-limbed insect." The wizard just shrugged his shoulders. He had four ogre barbarians and hundreds of stones, even if the hit rate reached 30

%, it can also make the insect swarms suffer.

Seeing their companions being smashed to pieces by rocks, this obviously angered the other eight-limbed bugs. The tentacles on their heads kept trembling, and five bugs rushed towards the thorn bushes regardless of their own safety.

At first, they charged very quickly, but what is puzzling is that after these five bugs rushed into the invisible barrier, like drunken drunkards, their actions began to become uncontrollable, and finally staggered to the edge of the thorn bush.

.

Senior knight Klaus was about to catch an insect and suddenly found that countless roots seemed to be alive, crawling onto the eight-limbed insect and pulling it into the soil.

"The root system of the thorn bush is an activated plant!" Klaus quickly retracted his hand, stood up and observed the surrounding thorns, and murmured: "I understand, the buds of these plants have been releasing some kind of gas, attracting and anesthetizing black beetles and them

A metamorphosis, the activated roots feed specifically on this type of bug. It’s like..."

Brandon shouted: "When we first entered the rainforest, we encountered the stinky carnivorous flowers, which exuded a rotting corpse-like smell and attracted scavenging insects to fall into their traps! Haha, these plants are the result of natural selection. They are specialized

Restrain the black bug."

Nelson rubbed his chin habitually while saying: "But they know this is a fatal trap and can resist the tempting smell emitted by the plants. They are indeed smart. I don't think this is good news... Look, the bugs are still there.

Continue to test the weakness of the thorn barrier."

After sacrificing 5 of their kind, the remaining eight-limbed insects vibrated their sharp knife-like joints, dug up the humus and soil, and quickly burrowed into the ground. They used the special skills of the insect race to break through the obstacles of the thorn bushes from the ground.

The Randall expedition team had long been mentally prepared for the insects to dig holes, but they were still helpless as they watched the insects dive into the ground. They did not know that the root system of the mutant thorns was very developed, and its scale was more than ten times that of the above-ground part. In a sense

, the activated root system that goes deep into the ground is the main body of mutated thorns, and it is also the main means of preying on black beetles. The activated root system can secrete toxins, paralyze the body functions of black beetles, and convert them into nutrients needed for growth.

This is the revenge of the forest's general consciousness. Soon, this barren land full of humus will be covered with insect-catching thorns.

The natural spiritual spells of the great witch doctor Tumen advanced this process and formed a natural field to restrain the Zerg. The Randall expedition fought against the Gross Zerg swarm in this natural field and had great environmental advantages.

After a while, there was no movement from the ground, and Caligula muttered: "The bugs are all dead."

Everyone looked at a large number of new thorn shoots emerging from the ground, and they didn't know what to say.

The Gross insect swarm will not be defeated by the heart of nature so easily. The insect mother will also make adaptive reproduction and evolution. It’s just that this group of insects is the first time to encounter carnivorous plants cultivated by natural spiritual magic, and the time is so short.

, it is simply impossible for them to make adaptive evolutionary adjustments.

As a result, the eight-limbed insects crawled out of the burrow one after another, making the Randall expedition and Imogen's servant army feel numb.

More than 400 alien insects wielding sharp limbs are not considered a swarm of insects, but they scream and rush towards the thorn bushes together, with a terrifying momentum. The worst thing is that the insect mother has not appeared yet

, a brutal fight is approaching.

Nelson, who had experienced ant plagues and bloody demon-slaying battles, did not take a few hundred bugs seriously. Instead, he was curious about how these bugs were going to break through the barrier of insect-eating thorns.

Then he saw the answer. The eight-limbed insect swarm vibrated the two tentacles above its head at the same frequency. They were under the control of the insect mother, and spiritual energy connected them together.

The insect swarm is a whole. The extraordinary talent of the insect swarm is psychic power.

Next, everyone saw a scene that shocked them extremely. Many eight-limbed insects chopped off their heads with sharp arthropods during the charge. By the time the insect swarm approached the thorn barrier, their number had dropped sharply.

More than half, but the originally dim patterns on the surviving eight-limbed bugs have become bright and eye-catching. They are faster and more powerful, and the air around their heads has a layer of ripples visible to the naked eye, which is unique to the Gross Zerg.

Psychic field. Although the psionic field seems weak, it is enough to help the eight-legged insect isolate the mutated thorns and emit numbing pollen.

More than two hundred eight-limbed insects jumped over the thorn barrier one after another and pounced on the intruders hiding behind. The four ogre barbarians dropped large rocks that could not be thrown, picked up the thick tree trunks, and roared to fight back against the insects.

group.

The Groth insect swarm will not reduce the total amount of psychic energy due to the death of its own kind. On the contrary, the more dead insects, the more abundant psychic power the insect mother can distribute. Although the eight-limbed insect is the most basic combat unit of the insect swarm, the same kind of insect swarm has

The death of the insect makes the remaining bugs more powerful, and can even release a weak psychic field. However, the biggest use of psychic energy for the eight-limbed bugs is to temporarily improve the basic attributes.

The remaining two hundred or so eight-limbed insects are already capable of tearing apart the ogre's barbaric skin. The strong fear exceeds the psychological endurance limit of the ogre barbarian soldiers, and instead stimulates the violent factor in their blood. Four heads

The ogre barbarians took the lead in launching a ferocious counterattack against the enemy, instantly kicking off the bloody fight.

Ogres, bugbears, alienated violent bears, alienated cats, savage headhunters and swarms of eight-limbed insects collided together. Blood was flying, stumps were flying everywhere, Randall's expeditionary force and the servant army were greatly outnumbered in terms of numbers and environment.

They had the upper hand, but they found that the eight-limbed insects became stronger the more they killed them. The eight-limbed insects that could be torn apart by three alienated cat apes were now as easy as chopping firewood to kill the cat apes.

Some eight-limbed insects with extremely agile dodge movements have shaken off their opponents and dragged the Randall expedition team at the rear into a hand-to-hand battle.

Imerson released the last 50 alienated cat apes to meet the enemy, but they were obviously no match for these eight-limbed insects. Nelson raised a pair of adamantine beheading swords and greeted: "The rear team protects the priest and Imogen."

Mr. Mori, the front team will follow me and we must kill all these insects as soon as possible."

These bugs are the strongest when they survive to the end. If more bugs are killed on the front battlefield, the pressure on the back line will become greater. Maybe the surviving eight-limbed bugs can hurt the two casters. On the contrary, the expedition team will kill the back lines.

Kill all the bugs on the line, and the servant army fighting in the front will consume the last bugs that became stronger.

Nelson did not intend to delay any longer. He swung out circles of circular sword light from the adamantine decapitating sword in his hand, instantly cutting off six eight-limbed insects. Everyone else had their own successes. Everyone thought that the weakest swordsman, Todd, was the weakest swordsman today.

His performance was particularly eye-catching. He spun around, and 7 or 8 straight sword rays instantly shot out from his hand. The speed was so fast that it seemed like he had several arms. The blade of the sword was close to the edge of the alienated cat ape's body, stabbing two of them to death in a row.

The alien bug actually didn't hurt the alienated cat ape that he used as a human shield.

There is something magical about Todd's sword, and his sword is unparalleled. His honed skills allow him to inflict maximum damage on his opponents with the minimum strength and the fastest speed. Even senior bronze knights will be broken by his sword if they are not careful. He killed eight limbs.

Zhong is second only to Nelson, and even Red Wolf and Klaus are not as good as him.

It's a pity that Todd doesn't have the combat intuition of the red wolf, nor can he sense elemental changes in a small area like Klaus. Todd pierced the chest, neck, and head of the fifth eight-limbed insect, and chopped off two more

With a sharp arthropod, he turned around and killed the next target. However, the insect that was supposed to be killed did not die and pounced towards Todd's back.
