Chapter 320 The insect swarm has arrived!!!
Chapter 320 The swarm of insects... has arrived!!!
Tegonian Desert.
The air seemed to be scorched by invisible flames, and the hot air was twisted into heat waves.
Many plants like flesh were swaying gently in the heat waves.
Puff——
Suddenly.
A fiery red flower suddenly became hideous. It pierced the sand lizard with its tentacles and pulled it into its mouth to chew.
The next second.
This deadly and dangerous fleshy life was crushed by the thick steel tracks amid the roar of the engine.
Dark red juice splashed out.
The unique sand vehicles of the Danus people were running in the desert.
The movement of these vehicles attracted some swift bone insects from time to time.
But these insects with sharp bone claws were quickly killed by the Tyranid hunters in the convoy.
Even the corpses were collected.
For the Danus people.
These are extremely precious proteins.
Ron sat in the cockpit, admiring the exotic landscape outside.
Different from what he imagined.
There are more lives in this dry land than expected.
The arrival of the Tyranids has completely changed the ecology of this desert planet.
It has become richer and more deadly.
Fortunately.
These Tyranids lost contact with the mothership around the millennium and were on a desert planet, unable to obtain too much biomass.
That's why they didn't expand on a larger scale and return to the starry sky.
Ron retracted his gaze.
He flipped through the collected information on the data board to learn about the history of the Danus.
The historical materials that can be found can only be traced back to 1,500 years ago.
At that time, they lived a very primitive life.
As for how the Danus came to this desert planet, there is no way to find it.
Perhaps it was a subspace navigation disaster, or it was the legacy of the colonial exploration team.
In short.
The Danus came to this planet and settled down.
They live in tribes on this barren planet with a sparse population.
They survive on the meager resources in the oasis.
But all this.
changed more than a thousand years ago.
An alien creature called Tyran descended on this planet and brought terrible disasters to people.
Fortunately, the savior sent a holy angel.
Under the leadership of the archangel, Lord Big Bucket.
The Danus fought with the Tyranids for nearly a thousand years before completely suppressing their threats.
To a certain extent.
They achieved a certain ecological coexistence with the Tyranids.
Although the Tyranids brought more fatal damage to the indigenous people, they also provided rich protein and nurtured more people for this desert planet.
Today.
There are already hundreds of millions of people in the oasis settlements on this planet.
From the tribal form to the form of a country, development and prosperity.
Of course.
All this did not happen out of thin air.
At the beginning.
The acid and venom contained in the Tyranids' flesh brought a lot of pain to the indigenous people here.
Many people even turned into monsters because of this.
But the Danusians did not give up the protein of Tyranids.
Because the Tyranids, a terrible alien creature, devoured the planet with an astonishing reproduction rate and greed for resources.
They devoured the already pitiful plants and proteins on this planet.
The bell of death has sounded.
Facing the ruthless Tyranids, the Danusians stood at the crossroads of history and faced unprecedented challenges.
However, under the guidance and help of the holy angels.
The Danusians found a way to survive, that is - hunting the swarms that once frightened them.
And then eat them!
That's it.
Some of the bravest Danusians gave their normal food to their tribesmen.
They followed the holy angels to hunt the swarms, processed the worm meat according to the skills taught by the angels and ate it.
They survived on the protein provided by the worm meat.
These brave people were respected and worshipped by the Danusians.
Not only because of their generosity and sacrifice, but also because they can kill insects and eat insect flesh like holy angels.
They have angelic qualities and are honored as Tyran hunters.
In this process, many people died because of the toxins in the insect flesh.
But more people miraculously survived and gained a certain resistance.
Those Danus people with resistance survived better and reproduced.
Spread the resistance gene.
After a thousand years of growth and evolution, almost all Danus people can eat insect flesh.
Moreover.
The higher the quality of the insect flesh eaten, the stronger the toxin.
The more respect you can get from people.
This is an honor.
Some Tyran hunter families even feed insect flesh toxins to newborn babies, so that they can adapt to and like the taste of insects more, so as to gain a keener sense of smell.
They can find insects faster.
Of course.
This move needs to be carried out under the witness of sacrifice, and not everyone is eligible for such an opportunity.
"Hiss, these Danus people are pretty fierce!"
See here.
Ron gasped.
These guys are so tough, with strong physique and combat power, they are good candidates to become space warriors.
He has decided to take the planet Danus under his command and use this planet as his home planet to establish a new battle group against the alien Zerg.
pity.
The current quantity of gene seeds is not enough to allow large-scale expansion.
There was a gentle knock on the cabin door.
"Lord Savior."
Salo was a little cautious. After getting permission, he walked in with a food plate:
"The hunters killed a predatory insect, and its meat was delicious."
The prince lowered his head and respectfully presented the plate: "I baked this with my own hands. Please taste it..."
"Just in time, I also want to taste what Tyranids taste like..."
Ron opened the lid and looked at the hot skewers of insect meat on top.
Quite emotional.
Decades ago, there was a chicken thief on the planet Erth, which almost summoned a swarm of insects, scaring him to death.
Unexpectedly, time has changed and now everyone is eating insect meat.
Ron grabbed the insect meat skewer and smelled it, and found that this thing was not only slightly corrosive, but also had a variety of toxins.
Normal humans can't eat this stuff.
This made him give up half of his idea of setting up an insect meat food production line. Let him cooperate with the research and development when the vat comes back.
Maybe there can be a breakthrough.
Ron stuffed the worm meat skewer into his mouth and started chewing.
Normal people can't eat this stuff, but he's not a normal person.
not to mention.
Even the characteristics of Da Tong's genetic heir came from his savior.
Not to mention this Tyranid worm meat, even some Chaos Demons.
Ron could grab a bite and take two bites.
Do you really think he got the title of Demon Eater for nothing?
"fragrant!"
Ron swallowed the insect meat and encouraged Salo: "Yes, there is a bit of vat craftsmanship!"
have to say.
After special treatment, this stuff tastes really good and has a special fragrance.
The premise is that it can resist the toxins in the insect meat.
Hearing the savior's praise, Salo's excitement was beyond words.
Tyranid hunters must not only have superb insect-killing skills, but also be proficient in cooking bugs, which are also subject to assessment.
For this prince.
To praise him for his craftsmanship is like that of the Archangel Big Bucket, which is already a supreme honor.
Ron looked at the prince and continued to draw: "I will watch your trial battle later. If you pass the test, I will give you the opportunity to become an angel..."
Through the information just given.
He knew what it meant to be an angel to the people of Danus.
That was an opportunity they had to fight for at all costs, even at the cost of their lives.
Salo controlled the trembling of his body to avoid losing his composure in front of that great being. He solemnly performed the etiquette of a warrior:
"I will hunt for you the most powerful and delicious bug in the trial field!"
Subsequently.
He turned around and went out to get ready.
After the prince left, Ron continued to enjoy Tyranid meat skewers.
After taking two bites, he suddenly thought of a question.
Over the past thousand years, the Sons of Man warband led by Da Tong has been absorbing the best Tyranid hunters as new members.
to replenish fresh blood.
As an independent battle group, the Children of Man has many technical sergeants inside, and the mothership has set up maintenance production lines for some related equipment.
It also has complete genetic seed cultivation and surgical equipment.
That means.
The Sons of Man Chapter has continued to expand in number during this millennium!
Moreover, gene seeds can be accumulated all the time.
The gene seeds produced were based on the Danusian physique as a template, and would most likely have characteristics specific to the Tyranids.
It is a high-end product among gene seeds!
Unfortunately, the situation within the Sons of Man Chapter.
Strict secrecy was kept from the Danus.
Those Tyranid Hunters who were absorbed also followed the discipline of the group after becoming Space Marines, did not reveal any information, and left no relevant records.
Ron flipped through the information.
He found that the information on this part was incomplete and had been deliberately erased.
It's impossible to guess the specific situation.
Ron had no way of knowing.
To what extent have they expanded the vats, and how much gene seeds have they accumulated.
But no matter what, the quantity will never be too small.
That’s a thousand years!
"Earn money with blood..."
Ron ate the insect meat and felt very satisfied.
He suddenly missed the vat.
This kid, Da Tong, is so rare that he deserves to give so many good things to the son of mankind.
Ron was already looking forward to the trip to the temple after the trial.
The so-called temple is the monastery established by the Sons of Man on the planet, but they don't know about it.
Is there any inventory left?
…
Trial Holy Land.
Ron followed the trial team and came to this huge building like an ancient colosseum.
This structure covers an area of approximately several square kilometers and is made of solid rock. It houses many types of Tyranids.
These terrible bugs are all caught by Tyranid hunters.
Specifically used to test new blood warriors.
Allowing them to advance into new Tyranid Hunters.
Ron learned.
Since the number of wild bugs has become smaller now, and the difficulty of catching them has increased a lot, the priests in charge of the trial site are already considering whether to raise bugs in captivity.
At the same time, a hunting ban was issued.
Let the Tyranid hunters reduce the time and frequency of hunting to ensure the orderly growth of the insect swarm.
Moreover, there are also some restrictions on the trade of insect meat.
We call on people to eat less insect meat to avoid complete destruction of the insect colony's ecology and protect the future of the Danus people.
Let future generations continue to have bugs to eat.
To this.
Ron could only say that it was quite scientific.
Look at it more rigorously.
This is not just about overall planning and overall policy implementation.
Efforts should be made to improve the self-healing capabilities of natural ecosystems and enhance ecosystem stability and ecosystem service functions.
Will it form a pattern of harmonious coexistence between man and nature?
Danus Planet can be said to have fully inherited the development ideas of the Savior Territory.
As soon as Ron arrived and sat down in the stands, the trial began.
Woo——
The insect bone horn sounded.
The door to the trial ground opens.
Nearly a thousand new blood warriors gripped their weapons and poured into the trial field.
These people had almost no armor on their bodies.
They need to rely on their flesh and blood and the weapons in their hands like their ancestors.
Kill the tyranids!
Along with these noises, the Tyranids in various areas also let out terrifying roars.
Ron sensed it.
Although the number of Tyranid bugs in this trial ground is large, most of them are still within the range that humans can deal with.
There are no Hive Overlords, Hive Tyrants, or Tyrant Guards that require powerful Space Marines or large vehicles to kill.
Those big guys can't break through the defense with light weapons, and they are not something that individual humans can deal with.
soon.
The new blood warriors rushed to various areas and began to hunt Tyranid bugs.
Once they hunt their target.
If you return to the predetermined altar with the trophies, you will have passed the trial.
Ron used the telescope to observe the warriors fighting the Tyranids.
He could find that these warriors were indeed much stronger physically than ordinary humans.
Some warriors skillfully grappled with the Tyranid warriors, dodging swift attacks and leaving wounds on their foes.
until the enemy is completely killed.
There was even a warrior who, without his weapon, killed a seriously injured Tyranid warrior with his bare hands.
He himself was corroded by the insect blood, without a piece of good flesh on his body, and even lost an eye.
However, he didn't pay attention, but seemed extremely excited.
Looking up to the sky and roaring.
The people watching the battle on the trial ground also cheered enthusiastically for the warrior.
"good……"
Ron applauded, praising the warrior's bravery.
Taco on the side silently wrote down the soldier's name and appearance.
Afterwards, Ron turned his attention to the prince named Salo.
now.
The new-blooded warrior was still sneaking forward carefully, constantly going deep into more dangerous areas.
Salo's actions attracted the attention of the priests and people, and there was a lot of discussion.
The priest told people:
"Here comes the savior. According to His Highness the Prince's route, his target is the Sand Python!"
That was one of the most powerful bugs in the trial field.
As soon as this statement came out.
The crowd became even more enthusiastic and cheered.
Karen XVII also had an expression of relief on his face.
This is his son!
The king believed that his beloved son could hunt and kill a sand boa just like him.
Gain the adoration of all new blood warriors.
boom--
In the proving ground.
A sand python several meters long burst out of the ground.
Sand and gravel splashed.
Insects of this size cannot be easily dealt with by light weapons.
Salo escaped the fatal blow.
He didn't have the slightest fear.
For Tyranid hunters, they must remain calm at all times and not allow themselves to panic.
Tyranid bugs can withstand many attacks, but a single mistake by a Tyranid hunter can result in death.
Salo took a deep breath and felt the movement of the sand python.
Then he suddenly launched a charge.
Ding ding ding ding.
The sand boa's six sharp front claws kept attacking, but all failed and were nailed to the sand.
The prince took this opportunity to approach and stab the sand python in its weak spot.
Subsequently.
He distanced himself slightly to avoid the attack, and while the sand python was in pain, he took out a large pistol and shot the opponent in the eye.
In Ron's eyes.
The speed of both sides is quite slow.
After all, it was a battle between giant bugs and mortals.
But being able to fight such a battle with the help of a mortal body is already very remarkable.
Under his sight, he saw more things.
That's the rhythm.
Salo has mastered the rhythm of fighting the sand python, and if nothing else happens, he will win this victory.
really.
The battle lasted for about ten minutes.
The prince killed the exhausted sand python with minor injuries.
He also won the cheers and admiration of everyone.
Salo dragged the sand python's head back toward the altar.
Unfortunately, he encountered a swarm of Swift Bone Insects on the way.
It can be seen that this prince no longer has the ability to continue fighting.
The atmosphere on the trial ground instantly became tense.
However, under the stalemate between the two sides, the Swift Bone Insects actually chose to retreat!
Ron even found out.
There was fear in those swift bone insects.
He doubted it.
It was the new-blood warriors who had been devouring insect flesh all year round and had the insect pheromones on their bodies, especially since Salo had just killed a higher-level insect.
This makes the Velociraptors feel like they are facing a natural enemy and retreat.
After watching this battle.
Ron has become convinced that the Danus are the best specialized warriors currently available to deal with the Tyranids!
Those new blood warriors possess rich fighting skills.
That is the most effective way to deal with bugs that Tyranid hunters have summarized for thousands of years.
certainly.
Tyranids are constantly evolving.
Tyranid hunters are also constantly updating their skills.
The struggle lasted for thousands of years.
The Tyranids here may be stronger than those in other places.
As the trial progresses.
Inevitably there were casualties. Some warriors died fighting insects, while others were exhausted and accidentally attacked on their way to the altar.
The proportion of these casualties has almost reached one-third.
However, the people of Danus did not have any strange emotions, as if they had become accustomed to it.
This is the path to becoming a Tyranid Hunter.
This is also the survival method of the Danus people for thousands of years. They are born with only two choices, either to eat bugs or to be eaten by bugs.
This is especially true if you want to become a Tyranid hunter.
If you are not good at learning or strong enough, it is natural for you to be eaten by insects during hunting.
If you don't want to become food for bugs, you can only become stronger.
Those Tyranid hunters may even spend generations hunting down a powerful insect.
Until success is achieved.
Gain supreme glory.
If anyone dares to deliberately snatch the insect's head during this period, there will be a feud.
It is with such a determined spirit and attitude that the Danus people can survive under the siege of Tyranids and continue to become stronger.
Until the insect swarm is completely suppressed.
For these cultures or customs, Ron can only show respect. This is their way of survival.
It’s not just the Danus.
The same is true for the human race itself.
People can always fight and adapt in harsh environments until they find a way out of life.
This is human too.
One of the reasons why you can survive in the Purgatory Galaxy.
certainly.
Wait until the official acceptance of Danus Star.
Ron will improve the lives of the Danus people as much as possible and provide those brave warriors with more powerful weapons.
Allow them to survive better.
What's the point of just killing bugs in my hometown? There are more and more powerful bugs in the galaxy.
Wait for these Tyranids to hunt for more glory.
Another half day passed.
This trial is over.
The surviving new-blood warriors took their trophies to the temple for the promotion ceremony.
Ron also went over to take a look.
The temple was built not far from the entrance of the Monastery of the Sons of Man.
As for the monastery.
It is a forbidden land among the people of Danus. No one dares to approach it, only Tyranid hunters who get the chance to become angels.
Only then was he allowed to set foot.
Ron as the savior.
Of course he could get in however he wanted, and even the access control didn't stop him.
The access control of almost all important areas of the territory is undefended to the savior.
This is also an important rule in the Sacred Scriptures of the Redemption.
He went in, looked around, and then left.
pity.
Before the big barrel guy left, he moved everything that could be moved away, and it was impossible to leave precious materials such as gene seeds.
After Ron walked out of the monastery, he accepted the worship of Karen XVII and the high priest.
Since then.
He also took advantage of the situation and took the planet back under his control.
Then, he notified the relevant agencies to come and deal with the affairs of the planet.
But it’s just the most basic docking and communication.
Before the barrel returns.
Ron wouldn't make too many adjustments to the planet.
Datong Bangchi Bangchi has been running Danus Planet for nearly a thousand years, so I have to ask that kid for his opinion.
…
starry night.
Dream number.
Sanctuary of the Redeemer, Miniature Garden.
The breeze blew, and the chirping of insects came and went.
Ron lay on the rocking chair and looked up at the stars.
He let out a long sigh: "Ducket, when will you come back?"
More than two hundred years ago, Big Barrel and the Children of Man left the planet Danus. It is not known where they went and whether they can return smoothly.
The savior scratched his head. He always felt that he had overlooked some information...
——
Hades Galaxy.
edge.
The stars are as red as blood.
Buzz——
A merchant ship jumped out of the subspace channel and stopped outside the planet's atmosphere.
Inside the bridge.
"Finally escaped from those chaotic balls..."
The Rogue Trader breathed a sigh of relief.
A few days ago, while carrying out some shameful smuggling activities, he was intercepted by the forces of Chaos, who wanted to plunder the goods on the ship.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and continued to escape.
The governor of this planet has a good relationship with him and is considered one of the safe havens.
When you come here, your safety is guaranteed.
However.
Before the rogue trader could relax, his heart suddenly shrank again.
"Emperor, what... happened!?"
The Rogue Trader was stunned.
An indescribable fear gripped his heart tightly, making it impossible for him to breathe.
In his field of vision.
The once blue planet had disappeared, leaving only a bare ball of earth.
There was no sign of any life...
