Chapter 76 Zerg (please subscribe)

If a person loses even the most basic principles and bottom lines, then no matter how high his final achievements are, it will be meaningless.

After making the decision, Song Chi agreed.

"Okay, let's try it. By the way, there is indeed a crystal box like the one you mentioned before in the second floor space."

After hearing the words "Crystal Box", Shen Qing's eyes became firmer.

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 across 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 cold light flashing, which is more terrifying than the sharpest iron pincers.

The top of the space curtain is several hundred meters away from the first level of the ground. These Zerg do not have wings or anything. Song Chi and Shen Qing originally thought that if they fell like this, they would be killed by hundreds of people. head, but the hardness of the carapace of these Zerg is quite unexpected.

After falling from an altitude 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 thin film with a slightly higher hardness. Even if it is thicker than the ordinary thin film, it is still vulnerable. .

For a moment, 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 stench.

The blood of these Zerg races is dark green in color and carries a strong fishy smell. As it continues to accumulate, the entire space is enveloped in a green poisonous mist. The already dark environment is now completely invisible. things.

That is to say, the thermal scanner on the airship can clearly track the number of Zerg below, which 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 all emit ray attacks. The penetration and range of these attacks are excellent, but the disadvantage is that it is difficult to cause large-scale damage. It is extremely passive when facing enemies known for their numbers.

If it weren't for the secondary guns 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 extremely headaches, an alarm from the semi-automatic shipboard brain made things worse.

"Beep, beep, warning, the concentration of poisonous fog outside the ship has reached level one, and the energy shield has begun to decline due to the erosion of the poisonous fog."

Originally, the two airships were suspended hundreds of meters in the air and had a natural geographical advantage. Even if there were more Zerg below, it would be difficult to attack them. They could advance, attack, retreat or defend, which was enough to ensure their 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 came up with a countermeasure, and the two hit it off immediately, controlling the airship and heading straight towards the second-layer space curtain.

Above, there was still a steady stream of Zerg pouring out of the space curtain. Their slimy bodies and sharp mouthparts looked particularly disgusting.

Song Chi and Shen Qing looked at each other, and the engines behind the airship each roared, pushing the two airships upward.

Boom, boom, boom!

The falling Zerg constantly collided with the energy shield of the Sky, causing ripples on the shield's light screen, which were 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 tribes claim to be able to swallow up 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 raised the height of the airship, and soon He quickly regained the distance from 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 swarms, these giant egg-like things, most of which had been torn from below, were obviously Even more creepy.

It is hard to imagine how wonderful the look on his face would be if the second layer of space curtain was really opened when he explored this ruins last time.

Just when Goosebumps appeared all over Shen Qing's body, Song Chi's voice suddenly came.

"We have to find a way to kill that insect first."

Hearing the word "Insect Queen", Shen Qing turned his eyes and looked at the extremely eye-catching nest of sarcoma tens of meters high deep in front.

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 exceeding that of ordinary Zerg races of the same level.

According to the official data of the Xinhuo Human Civilization, generally the size of a zero-level insect queen is within ten meters, while a first-level insect queen can often grow to tens of meters, and even the size of some peak first-level insect queens can reach Close to a hundred meters.

Obviously, the insect queen in front of us is most likely to be no more than the second level. Logically speaking, a creature of this level should not be so fearful to two first-level fireships, but the key is This is a 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 lay eggs in large quantities and in a short period of time, most insect queens often control an extremely powerful elite insect guard army. All the insect races in this insect guard army will definitely It is the strongest and highest-level insect race in the entire insect nest.

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 have been 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 there is another elite army of first-level bugs, they will be overwhelmed. The probability of getting the items in the crystal box not far away is probably 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 yet been broken open, and the two airships headed straight for the huge sarcoma thousands of meters ahead.

At the same time, the muzzle of the gun turned, aimed at the giant sarcoma, and then opened fire again.

But the subsequent results surprised the two of them, and their faces became particularly ugly.

"Damn, how can the insect nest of the first-order insect queen be so strong..."

Shen Qing gritted his teeth.

The attacks from 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 a first-level insect queen's nest to reach this level, unless the insect queen was of more than one level when she first built her nest."

Based on this assumption, the two people speculated along the way, and finally found that the further they pushed back, the more reasonable it became. Only then did they determine the specific situation of this insect queen.

According to their speculation, this insect queen has been trapped in this closed space for more than a long time. In the absence of energy supply for many years, in order to maintain its own life, the insect queen can only consume the energy accumulated in its body, which makes it bloated. The body is shrinking as time goes by.

When the energy in the body was consumed to a certain level, in order to replenish the dwindling body energy, the oversized insect nest began to slowly shrink. Finally, the insect queen and the nest itself were reduced to the current level of 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 a second-level, third-level, or even higher insect queen. Even if most of the life energy in her body has been dissipated due to various reasons, and she is now reduced to a first-level insect queen, her terror is definitely not that of an ordinary first-level insect queen. What living things can measure is that if they cannot be killed right away, 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 acid sprayed by zero-level sputtering bugs was limited, that was only relative to the vast sea of ​​​​stars. In this enclosed space less than a thousand meters high, the acid sprayed by this sputtering bug was Can the liquid cover any position.

The two fast-moving airships suddenly stagnated and began to rotate their hulls to avoid the dense acid liquid shooting from below.

The corrosiveness of these acids is astonishing. In addition, there are thousands of sputtering insects below, as well as the two nether energy airships that have lost a lot of shield value. If Zhen Ruo just rushes over like this, , the Cangqiong is okay, but Shen Qing's Qingfeng is bound to be unable to survive, and the energy shield is completely overloaded.

But the problem came again. The giant sarcoma insect nest in the distance had begun to tremble slightly, and the sleeping insect queen inside was waking up. If they were blocked by these sputtering insects for too long, they would definitely miss the opportunity to kill the insect queen in advance.

When the Insect Queen wakes up completely, let alone whether the Cang Qiong and Qing Feng can completely clean out all the Zerg including this Insect Queen. Even if they can do it, the time required will not 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.

Judging from 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 would still take five hours. As a result, time is completely insufficient.

Just when Shen Qing was struggling, Song Chi spoke first.

"Daqing, why don't you withdraw? We don't have a group attack main gun, and it will be difficult to break through the attack network of these sputtering insects 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.

As if 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.

There are blue-quality star sea rare objects on the first floor of the ruins, and the rare objects sealed in the crystal box on the second floor must be of higher quality.

As a person who had only awakened the Colorless Fire Seed and whose upper limit was stuck at the first level, Shen Qing was naturally unwilling to accept it. In just one year, he promoted the Qingfeng to the first level of the psionic airship. , As long as you practice step by step in the future, it is basically a certainty to break through to lv10 in the nether energy guidance technique.

But that's it. The colorless quality of the Seed of Fire 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, and is bound to the level of the Fire Airship itself. The nether energy training platform is destined to only reach lv19. With only a lv19 nether energy training platform, it is difficult for him to break through lv20 in the nether energy guidance technique and obtain the second life sublimation in the next 160 years.

So in the final analysis, the quality of Fire Seed must be improved.

But 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.

Blue-quality star sea rare objects can appear on the first floor. There are likely to be purple-quality rare objects in the crystal box on the second floor. Thinking of this, Shen Qing turned to Song Chi who was on the communication screen and said:

"Xiaochi, I want to try!!!"
