At that moment, Sheyan suddenly started circling the Tanker Bug clockwise, despite being trampled on a few times. This was obviously a very strenuous and painful action for the Tanker Bug. After circling around Sheyan many times, it roared angrily a few times, then suddenly turned counterclockwise in an attempt to catch Sheyan off guard.
But Sheyan had long been on guard against this move. After all, a human was at least a dozen times smaller than a Tanker Bug, so he immediately ran counterclockwise again. The Tanker Bug could only helplessly continue to circle around Sheyan. After 30 to 40 seconds, it suddenly fell down silently with its six legs facing the sky, twitching violently like an unlucky child who was being electrocuted. A large amount of white foam was vomited out of its mouth. It was extremely disgusting and pungent.
Sheyan laughed heartily in the face of this strange situation. He immediately turned around and fled. This situation was within his expectations.
It turned out that the Zerg had already discovered a congenital defect in the brain of the Tanker Bug back on Planet P. That was, the growth of the gray matter in the vestibular organ was rather insufficient. Therefore, circling back and forth like this put a huge burden on the poor brain of the Tanker Bug. The direct consequence was that the blood supply to the brain was insufficient, so the Tanker Bug fainted on the ground … … It was a severe symptom similar to a human epileptic seizure.
Of course, the method Sheyan used could not be used as a conventional tactic, because it was very rare for a Tanker Bug to come out and fight a human one-on-one. Usually, the Tanker Bugs would be used as the main force of the Protoss assault force such as the Mammoths, mixed with Hydralisks and Zerglings, or in groups to create artificial earthquakes on the enemy's position.
The one-on-one fight this time was an exception. If it were any other time, Sheyan would have been beaten up by the Zerglings, Hydralisks or Tanker Bugs.
Sheyan looked back after he had fled five or six hundred meters away. He found that the other enemies he had expected to be enraged by the humiliation and attack did not appear. The Zerg were still foaming at the mouth. The Zerg that had been watching from the sidelines also ignored Sheyan's actions. They roared and charged towards the Protoss camp.
The reason for this was very simple – the Zerg's earthquake offensive had suffered a huge setback!
Along with the growth of their technology tree, another powerful creature of the Protoss race was also created. This creature was the perfect counter to the Burrowing Beetle!
Yes, whether it was the name or the appearance of this creature, it had something in common with the Burrowing Insect. Its name was – Golden-Shelled Insect!
Unlike the Drilling Insect's brute strength and agility, the golden-shelled insect's movement was very slow, and its attack speed was very slow. It didn't even have legs. It just wriggled on the ground, looking fat and stupid. However, just by relying on its one and only ability, it was able to rise to the ranks of the Protoss' high-level troop class.
The golden-shelled insect was one of the few creatures that could directly chew and swallow crystals. After swallowing 15 units of crystals, as long as it wanted to, it could transform the crystals into a strange lifeform and store them in its huge, fat stomach.
After the golden-shelled insect spat out this kind of lifeform, it could make all kinds of incredible movements and attack the golden-shelled insect's designated target like the most agile missile. More importantly, this thing's attack power was very high, and it was an AOE attack!
In theory, a golden-shelled insect's shell could easily kill a team of Zerglings.
Therefore, under the pursuit of the golden-shelled insect's lifeform shell, even though the Drilling Beetle could quickly escape into its burrows, its huge body would always leave behind a deep and wide underground passage. The lifeform shell chased after it relentlessly. Every time a shell exploded, the Drilling Beetle would be seriously injured, and its AOE attack would cause landslides. Soon, the golden-shelled insect had joined the battle. From time to time, a large number of pillars of smoke and dust would explode high into the air above the Protoss' base. The smoke and dust were mixed with the flesh and blood of the Drilling Beetle, as well as the mournful screams of the Drilling Beetle.
However, for the Zerg commander, the first assault had already destroyed nearly one-third of the Protoss' defensive infrastructure. This time, the Drilling Beetle's assault had destroyed another one-third of the Protoss' defensive infrastructure!
The Zerg commander had achieved his strategic goal. On the distant horizon, the Zerg army was once again rushing towards the Protoss like a black tide, and the ones that appeared on the front line were actually the Overlords, which were as dense as dark clouds!
As Sheyan had personally commanded arachnids in battle, he was familiar with various arachnid tactics. Upon witnessing this scene, his pupils suddenly shrank as he exclaimed in disbelief, "That's right."
He exclaimed in disbelief, "Arranging the Overlords in the front line … and it doesn't look like they're going to use a large-scale airdrop. Are they trying to hide the killing intent behind this?"
The Zerg's advance seemed to be made up of a dense swarm of Overlords on the front line, but when the Zerg got closer, they would discover that there was actually a kind of strange membrane creature mixed in with the Overlords. It floated in the air like a fan, producing a thrust force. That's right, it was the Zerg's powerless unit, the Queen!
Obviously, the Protoss commander also realized that something was wrong. He immediately ordered the Golden-Shelled insects and the High Templars on the front line to retreat! Unfortunately, neither of these two units were known for their speed. Even if they wanted to escape, it would be very difficult for them to do so!
A large number of Overlords were blasted into pieces of flesh and blood under the attack of the photon cannonballs, but it bought time for the queens behind them to cast spells. Their skin membrane expanded, and suddenly, a cluster of high-speed black shadows was shot out from their mouths. In an instant, the shadows flew hundreds of meters away and accurately hit the golden-shelled insects and the templars who were running away in panic!
The Zerg units hit by the black shadows immediately rotted and collapsed to the ground, dead. Two six-legged Zergs leaped out from the wreckage of their corpses and fiercely pounced on the enemies around them. This was the special ability of the Zerg Queen – Spawning! It had a cruel effect on the enemies!
At this time, less than one-third of the Protoss' defensive facilities were left!! More than half of the Golden-Shelled insects and High Templars, which were the most effective against the Zerg, had been killed by Spawning. The Zerg army had poured out in full force, and they still had to cooperate with the remaining dozen or so Burrowing Bugs to form a three-dimensional offensive in the air, on the ground, and on the ground.
Obviously, if nothing unexpected happened, the fall of the Protoss base was inevitable.
At that moment, a bright light flashed in the Protoss spaceship dock, and an aircraft that Sheyan had seen before suddenly appeared. It was an Arbiter that looked like a clumsy swallow! This aircraft, which represented the most advanced Protoss technology, had finally landed on the battlefield.
However, the new Arbiter only had the ability to turn groups invisible. The technology to teleport or freeze the battlefield had not been developed yet. Even if it had been developed, it did not have any energy to release it when it first appeared. More importantly, the cheap and numerous Overlords of the Zerg were born with the ability to turn invisible. They were the Arbiter's natural enemy!
What was the use of this Arbiter?
The Arbiter flew directly towards the unconventional strategic building of the Protoss that had already been fully formed!
The building had already taken shape. It looked like a giant claw that had grown out of the ground. It had the bright and simple futuristic style of the Protoss, but the dark red colour of blood and the decorative fangs and sharp claws on the surface gave it the ferocity of the Zerg!
The giant claw grabbed the flying Arbiter at once. Then, the Arbiter emitted specks of light from the centre of the claw and began to decompose into specks of light. The specks of light coated the surface of the giant claw with a glossy glaze, as if a soul had been injected into the claw, making it come to life.
Then, the gigantic claw made a strange action of "clenching" and "loosening". Following this action, one of the twelve crystal towers built around the gigantic claw suddenly exploded, revealing a crimson teleportation portal!!
One after another, Divine Race warriors began to walk out of the portal!
There were not many of these Protoss warriors, and they were of different types. There were exactly twelve of them in a squad. However, Sheyan immediately noticed that these twelve Protoss warriors looked different from the other conventional Protoss soldiers.
For example, the one in the lead was a Zealot.
As a basic Protoss soldier, Zealots were basically cannon fodder, meat shields that rushed to the front line and absorbed damage.
However, this Zealot's appearance was different. He looked very fierce and unruly. Ordinary Zealots looked like the agile type, but this Zealot was a muscular man with a red cloak tied behind his back. He was not holding a lightsaber, but a terrifying two-handed sledgehammer!
He immediately rushed into the battlefield. The first Zerg unit he attacked was an Ultralisk, which represented the strongest ground combat power of the Zerg race.
With a single swing of his sledgehammer, the Ultralisk fell to the ground, unable to get up from the dust! It could only be described as mighty and domineering.
The second Zealot was a Dark Templar, commonly known as the Hidden Blade. The other Dark Templars all held a single Death Scythe, but this Dark Templar wielded two Death Scythes! He could also take turns to throw the Death Scythes with his left and right hands, then spin them back. Wherever they passed, a bunch of Zerglings would be killed at once!
The third Zealot was a Dragoon. This Dragoon seemed to be lame. He walked unsteadily, as if he would fall down at any time. At that time, a group of Mutalisks rushed towards the Photon Cannon next to him, so the Dragoon raised his Photon Cannon to attack the Mutalisks. (To be continued.
