"You've been struck by the arachnid queen's special ability: 'Ensnare'."
"Your movement speed and attack speed will be reduced by 50%."
"If you are in stealth mode, you will be immediately revealed."
The two of them were immediately covered in that light green mucus. Every movement they made was as if they were tied up by ropes. It became extremely difficult for them to move. Even taking a step required a great deal of effort. Mogensha gritted his teeth, wanting to raise his gun to let this monster have a taste of his prowess. Instead, Sheyan pressed down on his gun. Because on the nearby highlands, dozens of malevolent looking black crawling monsters had shockingly appeared. Acid was brewing within their bodies, as they took on a shooting stance. They were precisely the hydralisks that gave Sheyan and Mogensha the biggest headache.
"If they wanted to attack us, they would've done so long ago." Sheyan calmly spoke out.
Mogensha faintly nodded. At this moment, a voice suddenly resounded in his ears. This voice was like the notification from the nightmare imprint. It didn't pass through the air, but directly transmitted through his eardrums. Instead, it resounded in his soul, as though it was an aged female speaking.
"Si ….. human, caw, don't make any dangerous moves. Si, if not I won't be able to control the instinctive urge of my children to tear you to shreds."
"This ability, could it be telepathy?" Sheyan's heart instantly flashed with this phrase. He then attempted to use the nightmare imprint to transmit a message. "Who are you?"
That voice instantly replied.
"I am the mother of the Blackthorns, Shengong. I am currently communicating with you through my children."
Mogensha was in disbelief.
"Children? Are your children that freak in the skies? "
"I don't agree with your words." The mother of the Blackthorns calmly replied. "In our eyes, Jani's skin is filled with lust, her curves are perfect and alluring. Instead, humans are the freaks. But I still respect you, although I can kill and devour you anytime."
Mogensha spread out his hands and replied.
"Alright alright, respected lady, we have no intentions of being enemies with you. Our true motive for coming here isn't to conquer or plunder, but to search for comrades. That's all. "
The mother of the Blackthorns gave a concise and clear reply.
"Follow my children, human. You will see them soon, but please do not mistake our kindness for weakness."
Very quickly, under the escort of a pack of zerglings and hydralisks, the duo strolled to the side. Gradually, a thick layer of lavender organic matter appeared beneath their feet, like a carpet. Stepping on it was like walking on a soft riverbank.
Their name was Creep (Organic Creep). They could digest all nutrients, providing essential nutrients for the arachnid race. They also provided organs for the arachnid larvae and drones, aiding them in evolving into larger forms. Under normal circumstances, Organic Creep was hard to eradicate. To the arachnid race, these things could provide them with additional regenerative abilities.
Apart from that, the appearance of CREEP signified one thing – this place had become a core region that the arachnids had to protect. Once one didn't obtain the arachnid race's recognition, then one would suffer an abnormally ferocious and frenzied assault! Along the way, the duo could see densely packed arachnid lifeforms everywhere. In the sky, there were even lumps of brown jellyfish like objects. If one had to describe it, it looked like a human brain connected to a tree trunk of nerves.
According to the information, this object was called a Host. It should be another lifeform of the arachnid race. It didn't possess any offensive capabilities, but was similar to an organic compound factory. It could provide essential nutrients to the arachnid lifeforms. The size of an arachnid colony could be determined by the number of Hosts. Apart from that, because the Hosts relied on their biological perception to probe their surroundings, they didn't have eyes. Hence, they could detect any invisible lifeforms within a certain radius.
Not long after they left the Zerg nest, they saw a few military tents scattered around the edge of a rocky mountain not far away. A soldier who was sitting on a dry rock smoking a cigar immediately stood up in astonishment when he saw the contestants.
"Woah, buddy! Please don't tell me you guys are also survivors of the plane crash. "
Although Mogensha's charm wasn't high, it was still maintained at a normal level. Hence, he was usually the one to handle all matters.
"On the contrary, private, we specially came here to confirm if you guys are still alive, and think of a way to bring you guys home."
The soldier laughed heartily.
"Buddy, honestly speaking, this is the funniest joke I've heard in the past 48 hours."
Mogensha let out a sigh.
"If I were you, I definitely wouldn't speak like that to your savior."
"Savior?" The soldier asked in astonishment.
Mogensha fished out the harmonica made by Pilot Kitt from his bosom.
"If Lieutenant Colonel Dundee is still alive, then you'll know if I'm speaking the truth or not."
The soldier immediately exclaimed in astonishment.
"Don't tell me you're that commanding officer who chased away the Spore Wyvern? That expert who used the Camil Cannons to fire off a sticky pursuit? "
Mogensha obviously wouldn't display his eastern modesty. Naturally, he raised his brows and waved his golden AK in delight.
"Of course! If it wasn't for that Camil Cannons feeling like a 60 year old aunty's chest, it would've been terrible! I could've pummeled the shit out of that damned idiot's ass! "
The soldier immediately gazed at Old Mogensha with a worshipping gaze, before running towards the tent. After a few minutes, dozens of soldiers drilled out from the tent, as they neatly lined up in two rows, simultaneously straightening their bodies and saluting! Simultaneously, they used all their might to shout out.
"Salutations to you! Staff Sergeant! "(Staff Sergeant was Mogensha's realm military rank, this was common in every world)
Mogensha imitated their salutes. Following that, a Lieutenant Colonel with his left arm wrapped in white bandages stood out, his expression solemn as he extended his hand towards Mogensha.
"I'm the captain of the Pebbles special forces, Lieutenant Colonel Dundee. Thank you for your previous bravery, and thank you for your courageous act of rescuing us. But honestly speaking, I really don't wish to see you guys here. Because the situation here … … .is far worse than what you can imagine. "
Mogensha extended his hand to shake.
"Oh, Lieutenant Colonel Dundee. When we set off, I already knew this would be an arduous journey. So please don't worry too much, and truthfully explain the current situation to us."
Lieutenant Colonel Dundee turned his head, gazing at the fully armed Sheyan.
"He is?"
Sheyan took a step forward, standing straight as he shouted.
"Special forces 2nd Lieutenant Seaman reporting to you, Sir."
"Seaman." Dundee recalled for a moment, his eyes sparkling. "I seem to have heard people praising your courage before!"
This was the benefit of a + 1 legend level. Although Sheyan's charm was low, but with this first impression, naturally he would be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort. Following that, he watched as Lieutenant Colonel Dundee struggled to walk a few steps with his hands clasped behind his back, before raising his head resolutely.
"Alright, I'll explain the current situation to you guys in full detail. Firstly, I have to tell you guys, the fundamental reason for the war between the humans and arachnids … … .isn't like those bullshit politicians who say it's because of the environment, but because of a type of ore! Even in the universe, it's an extremely rare resource! Unobtanium Superconducting Crystal Ore! "
As he spoke, Lieutenant Colonel Dundee retrieved a sparkling and translucent crystal from his bosom. This crystal was silvery-blue in color, and its surface even had a metallic luster. Shockingly, it was actually able to float 2 cm away from the palm of one's hand!
"This is the superconducting crystal ore that those guys who reek of copper named Pandora. Its performance surpasses all the superconductors that have ever been created by humans. It can maintain its superconducting properties under a high temperature of 1516 degrees Celsius (2761 degrees Fahrenheit). The Superconducting Crystal Ore also possesses an extremely strong anti-magnetic property. Even when placed in a magnetic field of 1 billion Gauss (100,000 Tesla), it can still maintain its superconducting properties. This is 1000 times stronger than any material on Earth ….. Even when the Galactic Alliance's economy was at its lowest, the price of Unobtanium's raw ore was never lower than 40 million USD per kilogram. Please note, this is raw ore that has not been purified! "
Mogensha shrugged his shoulders and replied.
"Woah, Lieutenant Colonel, I'm already numb to these numbers. It sounds like this amount of money is enough to crush me to death. This is another type of blissful death from being suffocated to death in the bosom of a big breasted chick."
Lieutenant Colonel Dundee sighed and continued.
"The Pandora Crystal is the most perfect energy known to mankind. What uranium ore or petroleum, it's not even worth a mention! Therefore, it's worth everyone in the universe searching for it, and they're willing to pay any price for it. The only drawback of the Pandora Crystal is that other than humans, there are many other alien races that require the energy contained within. This includes the arachnid race. This is also the reason why we're fighting with those damned arachnids. This is also the reason why there is a barrier between humans and arachnids, and also the reason why there are conflicts between arachnids!
