The smoky water droplet shaped lead bullet bluntly shot towards the hydralisk's head. However, due to Sheyan's natural flaw in shooting, one could clearly see the bullet deviating from its trajectory. The phrase 'a difference of a millimeter leads to a loss of a thousand miles' could be applied to aiming and shooting. But strangely, it was as though an incomparably mystical force was controlling something, forcefully altering the trajectory of the bullet!!
The 'inevitable hit' effect was activated at this moment!
This fatal lead bullet had heavily injured the blood-gold patterned hydralisk, and at the same time caused it to enter a stunned state. After the 3 seconds stun effect faded, Mogensha had already recovered from his paralysis. With his fastest speed, he retreated behind his cover, not giving the enemy a single chance to attack.
Following that, Reef charged into the zergling horde. While using his malevolent silver shield to protect himself, he released a soul shaking roar! Under that formless shockwave, the nearby blood-red zerglings were instantly swept away by a gale; blood oozing out from their nose and eyes. Their berserk attacking speed and movement speed had plummeted tremendously!
'Shattering Cardiac Roar'!
These highly trained zerglings originally wanted to pounce towards the long range attackers behind – the Blackthorn hydralisks and human elite soldiers. They chose to ignore the two obstructing in front. But after being forced to reduce their speed by at least 50%, if they insisted on doing so, the only outcome was that they would be killed by bullets and acid in the process of charging at a tortoise-like speed. Not even dregs were left. Hence, they switched their target back to Sheyan and Reef. Unfortunately for them, with regards to their offensive capabilities, these two were like two damned boulders. Moreover, their hardness was comparable to granite.
Within a short span of minutes, this abrupt battle had concluded. In this battle, Sheyan's zerglings were left with only 3. Fortunately, their long range firepower was still intact. Witnessing this scene, Sheyan's expression turned solemn. The zerglings couldn't die anymore, if not they would have to use the hydralisks to scout ahead. And it was hard to say how much danger lay ahead!
For example, this massive Spore Colony ahead. Although it looked like a female nude from Teacher Chen's work was placed right in front of them, Sheyan didn't believe they could just rush up and do whatever they wanted. On the contrary, following the annihilation of the arachnid guards, an immense sense of threat descended upon Sheyan's consciousness. It was as though a voice was trying its best to warn him.
"Don't come near, don't come near! Don't go near it! "
They rested there for ten minutes, waiting for their bodies to recover while discussing the plan of attack. But while they were hesitating, their nightmare imprints simultaneously transmitted a notification.
"Warning! You have wasted too much time, the Blade Queen's troops on the Spore Highland have already noticed the abnormality and have sent out additional patrols. They will meet you in ten minutes. "
"Warning! You have wasted too much time, the Blade Queen's troops on the Spore Highlands have already noticed the abnormality. From now on, they will send out a patrol team every 30 minutes. The strength of the patrol team will increase gradually. "
“OH！ Damn it! " At present, Sheyan didn't even have the time to curse. He immediately surveyed the surrounding terrain, while Mogensha and Reef were both experts in this field. They instantly selected the most suitable defensive region! Very quickly, the patrol team caught up from behind. It was roughly 30 blood-gold zerglings, and 5 blood-gold hydralisks.
Amongst them was a monster they had never seen before. This monster looked like a long legged spider, with 8 long legs. At the end of its legs was a cold metallic glint. Its head looked like a hydralisk, but compared to a hydralisk, it was at least 2-3 times larger. Furthermore, due to its 8 long legs constantly gliding, its movement was relatively swift. Golden stripes extended from its torso to its 8 long legs, giving it a sinister and awe-inspiring appearance!
When Reef saw this creature, his eyes instantly widened. He immediately contacted Sheyan.
"That's an advanced class of hydralisks! Previously when we were rescuing Johnny Regal, we encountered it together with the Flamethrower Beetles! This monster is called a lurker. It doesn't attack on the surface, but it can burrow underground with extreme speed. Then, it will shoot out sharp spikes from the ground, dealing damage to anyone in its path. At that time, we weren't paying attention, and as a result, an entire 13 soldiers of the Roughnecks perished under its hands! We have to eliminate it immediately, if not once it burrows underground, it will be hard to deal any damage to it. "
"The AOE version of the Sunken Colony?" Sheyan stared intently at the carapace of the lurker, which sparkled with a metallic luster. Obviously, its defensive capabilities were exceedingly valiant! "What about its range?"
"It definitely wouldn't be inferior to a machine gunner's range. Although it burrows underground and is unable to move, its attack range wouldn't be inferior to our firearms. More importantly, because it attacks directly from underground, many bunkers are useless. More importantly, we don't know if there are any additional enhancements to the lurker under the direct command of the Empress! "
Naturally, Mogensha's' Sparta Short Spear 'was still in cooldown. Sheyan could only sigh upon witnessing this scene. This battle was extremely arduous, it was already a foregone conclusion! The only good news was that the cooldown of 'Rum and Songs' was 10 minutes. This meant it could still be used in battle.
15 minutes later, the battle ended. The concealed Sheyan had successfully launched a sneak attack. Using the 3 seconds stun of 'Rum and Songs' and an 'Electromagnetic Cloud Bomb', he was finally able to control the blood-gold lurker for an entire 10 seconds (because the lurker had a resistance to stun effects). Then, the long range troops seized the opportunity to eliminate it.
However, this arachnid patrol squad that had intentionally dispersed instantly launched a powerful counterattack. Under the dual control of Sheyan and Reef, 7-8 blood-red zerglings and blood-red hydralisks successfully launched a sneak attack against the long range troops! After the battle ended, one of Mogensha's eyes was blinded by an acid spray. Sheyan and Reef didn't suffer much damage, but the zerglings they brought along were completely annihilated. Only a single hydralisk survived with heavy injuries. Of the human elite machine gunners, only 3 were left!
Naturally, they had to complete this mission within the remaining 20 minutes. At least, they had to destroy this Colossal Spore Colony before them. As for the additional rewards, they didn't have to think about it. At least, they had to ensure they wouldn't be punished! Although his perceptive sense transmitted a clear warning, Sheyan still commanded the remaining heavily injured hydralisk to attack. He allowed it to wobble its body towards the Colossal Spore Colony to scout ahead.
100 metres, no mishaps.
80 metres, no mishaps.
50 metres … … .suddenly, the heavily injured hydralisk abruptly exploded! Splattering into chunks of flesh and green mucus! The chunks of flesh and bodily fluids splattered onto the ground, as though butter had been tossed into a hot pan. Within a short span of seconds, it vanished without a trace. At the instance of that tragic explosion, one could observe a golden brilliance flashing by. That brilliance was like a needle piercing into one's heart!
Sheyan turned to look at Mogensha who had the best eyesight. His expression turned solemn as he asked.
"Did you see that?"
Mogensha swallowed a mouthful of saliva, as he replied with difficulty and hoarseness.
"I saw it, that's the Sunken Colony's assault from the ground. That assault is ferocious, incisive, swift and precise! Filled with the stench of blood! Its attack speed is only half that of an ordinary Sunken Colony! But every time he attacked, he could pierce out two pale tentacles that were covered in blood! The tip of those tentacles even sparkles with a golden luster! Furthermore, the location of this blood-gold Sunken Colony is extremely treacherous. It is destined that long range firepower would have to circle around it to attack! But if we circle around it, then we will inevitably enter its attack range. Someone has to be at the front to attract its firepower! "
Naturally, this should be the final line of defence for the Tyrannical Spore Colony – the blood-gold Sunken Colony! Therefore, the crux of the matter would be Sheyan and Reef. If the two of them could withstand the onslaught of the blood-gold Sunken Colony, then they would have a chance to slay the Sunken Colony and complete their mission! But the crux of the matter was … … could they withstand it?
If they were to take turns to fight, then the problem would be how to attract the firepower of the Sunken Colony. For example, if Sheyan were to take the lead, when he couldn't withstand it, how could he ensure that Reef would be the first to attract the firepower of the Sunken Colony? Furthermore, he had to ensure that the Sunken Colony would only attack him.
This problem was resolved by the remaining firepower specialist Baiise. He confidently informed Sheyan that according to the statistics of the human army – every Sunken Colony would instinctively attack the nearest enemy. Unless it was personally controlled by an Overmind, it would only attack the most threatening unit. Moreover, the direct subordinates of the Blade Empress didn't have any Overmind, they would only listen to the orders of the Blade Empress! Fortunately, the Blade Empress wasn't here, thus this weakness could be exploited.
The next step, which was also the most important step, was for Sheyan and Reef to personally experience the offensive capabilities of the Sunken Colony. But the results of the test undoubtedly poured cold water over everyone's heads! Although the interval between the attacks of the blood-gold Sunken Colony was very long, roughly every 6-7 seconds, its theoretical offensive capabilities … … .was at least a terrifying 200 points, perhaps even 250 points!! Furthermore, not only did its HP recover extremely quickly, it was estimated to be close to 7000 points!!
*****
Heh heh, can anyone guess what kind of method Sheyan and Reef will use to deal with this terrifying blood-gold Sunken Colony? It can be considered as the final BOSS of this scenario. Hmm, after slaying it, the main scenario will more or less come to an end. (To be continued.) If you like this work, I welcome you to donate your recommendation votes or monthly votes to me.
