From time to time, giant jellyfish-like Overlords could be seen landing on the creep carpet to absorb nutrients. Aside from the disgusting creep carpet that the insectoid buildings were built on, it also had another important function: to decompose all organic matter within its coverage area for the initial extraction and dissolution.
On the other hand, the Overlords were similar to fruit trees. The energy within the Pandora crystals was like sunlight, absorbing the organic matter and energy from the Creep Blanket, combining the two to produce the main food for the arachnids. Therefore, experienced individuals could estimate the size of an arachnid tribe based on the number of Overlords.
As he sprinted to the side of a small hill, he immediately noticed a huge horde of zerglings and hydralisks surging towards him from a distant narrow valley. These zerglings and hydralisks were of a dark green hue, occasionally dripping with mucus. At first glance, there wasn't much of a difference, but when compared to the zerglings of the Blackthorn tribe, they formed an incomparably distinct contrast; easily distinguishable.
On the other hand, the Blackthorn tribe's defensive line was clearly sparse and scattered. Evidently, the Mother of the Blackthorns' ability to control her troops was exceedingly limited. She reckoned that dispatching these arachnids was already her limit. Fortunately, she possessed the authority to construct defensive structures. Surrounding these sparse Blackthorn arachnids, there were at least 20 odd arachnid structures scattered across the ground!
The building was at most half a meter tall and occupied an area about the size of an Alto. Its entire body was covered with sharp thorns. From afar, it looked like a fleshy red evil flower growing close to the ground. Once an enemy approached within a hundred meters, a fleshy red spike would rapidly shoot out from the center of the enemy's body, burrowing deep into the ground. Then, a sharp fleshy red spike would appear beneath the enemy's feet, rapidly stabbing towards the enemy's body!
Under normal circumstances, a zergling could at most withstand 2 hits. Even the higher HP hydralisk could at most withstand 3 hits. This was the insectoid's special defense, the Sun Colony. It used living tendrils to attack enemies within its range, and it had extremely high HP. This defensive line was built at the entrance of the valley. Once the enemy rushed out of the valley, they wouldn't even have the time to deploy their forces into formation. Then, they would be attacked by close to 20 defensive barbs at the same time. They wouldn't even be able to approach and would suffer horrifying casualties.
Yet gradually, following the reinforcement of the Thick-liquid tribe, close combat situations began to emerge on the battlefield. Those Blackthorn arachnids hidden within the Barbed Tongues began to emerge, coordinating with the Barbed Tongues in a frenzied assault. The war on the front line could be described as a meat grinder. Even the air was filled with the stench of arachnid bodily fluids. Lieutenant Colonel Dundee and the rest were frantically firing. One had to admit, they were all specially selected warriors, their offensive capabilities were not inferior to the defensive Barbed Tongue. No wonder the Mother of the Blackthorns wanted them to stay and assist.
The attack lasted for more than ten minutes before it reached its climax. The corpses of the insectoids that died on the organic carpet were rapidly decomposed by the layer of mucus, turning into nutrients that were absorbed and transported to the various organs. Therefore, the defensive side had an innate advantage. However, the Overmind of the Blackthorn arachnid tribe wasn't present, and several times the number of troops were deployed in other areas. Hence, the frontline was forcibly compressed to the brink of collapse by the Thick-liquid tribe's superiority!
Suddenly, a defensive Barbed Tongue was besieged by 3 zerglings. Its HP had reached a critical point, and it abruptly exploded into a sky of blood and gore. Then, it dripped down, forming a chain reaction. One after another, another defensive Barbed Tongue with depleted HP exploded. The frontline instantly collapsed into a state of total collapse. But at this moment, more than ten mining drones suddenly approached from afar. They quickly burrowed into the ground and began to hatch, forming huge cocoons on the ground one after another.
Following closely, the telepathic voice of the 'Mother of the Blackthorns' resounded in the hearts of the humans.
"5 minutes! I only need five minutes to hatch the second line of defense against the Barbed Tongue! Please help me gain 5 minutes! "
Following the resounding voice, Sheyan received a notification from his nightmare imprint.
"You've been drawn into the district storyline: 'Twin arachnids contend for hegemony'."
"Arachnid Mother Nest: Mother of the Blackthorns has issued you an emergency mission: 'Bloody 5 minutes'. Do you accept? Yes/No? "
At present, Sheyan had slowly grasped the knack of this mission. Instead of choosing 'No', he directly replied.
"I request for my servant Jinkuang to accept this mission on my behalf."
Without a doubt, this mission would affect the reputation and goodwill of the Blackthorn tribe. If Sheyan accepted this mission, he would be relying on his unlucky 2 points of charm. But if that scoundrel Jinkuang came, then he would be relying on the default 50 points of charm to accept this mission. The disparity between the two was like the difference between an A cup beauty and a D cup beauty.
The nightmare imprint's notification was simple.
"Your servant must accept this mission within 10 seconds, if not it will be considered as forfeiting."
According to common sense, the cowardly and shameless goblin Jinkuang would always keep a respectful distance from danger. He definitely wouldn't appear on the frontlines of battle. Instead, after interacting with him for a few days, Sheyan's acute senses had grasped his weakness. He suddenly exclaimed in shock. "Hahaha! Hahaha!
"Aiya, I think I lost my money."
The wretched Jinkuang leapt out from the cracks of a rock, his eyes emitting ¥¥¥as he shrieked.
"I'll help you retrieve master? Eh, where's the money? "
Sheyan immediately transferred 5 utility points over. Without a doubt, the money-grubber Jinkuang completed the transaction with the quickest speed. He had no immunity towards anything related to money.
"Cut the crap, help me accept this mission. If you're not willing then refund me my money!"
"Refund!!! Master! You actually dared to utter such damnable words to a goblin! " The goblin Jinkuang furiously retorted. "Even if the universe is destroyed, this is still an impossible matter!"
Sheyan resolutely replied.
"Help me accept this mission, and I'll reward you with 5 utility points."
Following that, Sheyan immediately received a notification – You've accepted the emergency mission 'Bloody 5 minutes'. (Accepted by servant Jinkuang). The mission content was obviously to defend the frontline for 5 minutes. At present, the frontline was already nearing total collapse. Even the surviving members of the Pebbles special task force were facing a predicament of close quarters combat. At this moment, the unique gunshot of an AK resounded once again. Mogensha's golden AK spat out eye-catching flames! The dazzling debut of his newest 5 burst firing mode!
The first scorching hot bullet directly flew through the gaps left behind by 3-4 zerglings, accurately piercing into the head of an enemy hydralisk, causing it to momentarily lose its center of gravity and tilt to the right. Coincidentally at this moment, an ally's fleshy red long thorn pierced out from the ground, piercing through the head of an enemy zergling. The remaining momentum didn't diminish as it pierced through the air. The Hydralisk's head seemed to have been delivered to the Barbed Tongue, as it was directly pierced to death by this attack!
The second and third bullets instead crooked and struck into the crevices of the nearby rocky mountain. When they struck the rocky walls, they immediately exploded, directly triggering a small scale landslide. The large scale landslide buried at least 20 hydralisks alive.
The 4th bullet promptly broke the claw of a zergling, and that claw was just 10 centimetres away from frantically swiping at Dundee's face! Even though the claw was broken, a faint purplish fluid gushed out as it flew out. Pa! The claw clawed into a nearby defensive thorn, as the razor-sharp claw pierced deeply into the flesh thorn. One could imagine the immense strength behind the claw.
The 5th bullet first struck against a nearby boulder, then refracted and accurately struck the ammo that the Pebbles task force member didn't have time to carry away. It instantly triggered an explosion, and at least 3-4 zerglings were blown to smithereens.
This 5 burst firing was a combination of killing enemies and saving lives. It could be said that every bullet was like an exclamation mark, brimming with imagination and creativity, all striking at the weakest point of the enemy!
Sheyan aimed at several zerglings in front of him and fiercely pulled the trigger of his shotgun, causing them to wail as they retreated backwards. But following that, the enemy hydralisks that were hiding behind unleashed a concentrated acidic spray. Sheyan miserably rolled behind a boulder, but even so, he was still affected by the acidic spray. The acidic spray rapidly corroded through his armour. Although Sheyan's skin was tough and thick, he definitely didn't dare to take on the concentrated acidic spray of the hydralisks. Otherwise, he would be seeking death.
He panted a few times, crouching like a cat as he scurried to Mogensha's side. He earnestly said.
"Old Mogensha, if you continue to conceal your true strength, then our mission will definitely fail."
Mogensha's body trembled slightly, sighing.
"How can you tell?"
Sheyan snappily replied.
"If this AK47 is really your life saving trump card, then you definitely wouldn't have made it into such a flashy gold ornament, instead you would think of ways to make others not notice it. Therefore, your intention is obviously to make others pay attention to your gold AK47, and neglect other aspects. But there's only the two of us here, what are you worried about? Don't tell me you don't trust me? " If you like this work, I welcome you to donate your recommendation votes or monthly votes. Your support, is my greatest motivation.)
