Facing Baiise's accusation, veins were popping out from Reef's forehead. His face was ashen as though water was about to drip out. His fists were tightly clenched, as though he was infuriated to the extreme. Sheyan was stunned, he laughed bitterly and hastily sat beside Reef as he patted his shoulder.
"Hey Reef, his brothers and comrades are all dead. He even broke a leg and an arm, don't lower yourself to his level."
Reef shut his eyes, taking a deep breath as he solemnly replied.
"No, he's right. I didn't do well and implicated everyone."
Even with Sheyan's logical reasoning ability, he didn't expect Reef to be blaming himself! His body trembled, his chrysanthemum tightened as he wiped off his sweat.
"You … … .you actually did pretty well. 'Shattering Cardiac Roar' is an AOE attack and has a higher chance of being resisted. This is the will of the heavens and not your mistake."
"No! It's my mistake. "Reef's gaze was resolute as he resolutely declared." I am guilty. I cannot allow selfishness, evasiveness, lust and self-abandonment to pollute my heart. I will not let go of the responsibility I have to bear! "
Sheyan was stunned and sluggish. He carefully pondered if Reef's words were after he recited the Bible. He then massaged his temples and sighed helplessly.
"Alright, alright. Since we are still in the same party, we naturally have the obligation to help each other. Then how do you intend to compensate him?"
Reef resolutely replied.
"I can't do anything about the dead. But according to current technology, Baiise's severed arm and leg should be able to be repaired."
Sheyan lightly shook his head.
"I'm afraid it'll be difficult."
Reef suspiciously asked.
"Why?"
Sheyan pondered a little before answering.
"In the original storyline, the captain of the 'Unyielding' party, Laich, was also a cripple with a prosthetic arm. That means, even if the humans possess this technology, the price would be extremely high. At least, even a Lieutenant leading hundreds of soldiers wouldn't be able to afford it. If we are able to exchange for this technology, then the price would be exceedingly high. "
Reef unhesitatingly replied.
"Even if the price is high, we will exchange it for him … …..!"
Speaking till here, Reef suddenly felt a little awkward.
"But I don't have many utility points and reputation left. I know you're very capable, Seaman. Can you help me think of a way?"
Suddenly, he started to sympathize with that 'butler' contestant of Reef's previous party. Although Reef was formidable, the troubles he brought about weren't any less than those thorns. Sheyan felt a headache coming on, and suddenly started to sympathize with Reef's previous' butler 'contestant. He thought about it carefully and said,
"If you wish to resolve this matter before you leave this world, then there is no hope for the human race. Because if he wanted to quickly raise his reputation with the human race, he might have to issue a mission to completely destroy the Spore Highland. You should know the difficulty of this mission ….. Then, we can only start with the insectoids. "
"Arachnids?" Reef was stunned.
Sheyan replied with certainty.
"That's right, Baiise only lost an arm and a leg. These two parts aren't organs of special significance like the human brain or heart. The arm may require some precise movements of the fingers, but the leg's function is the most basic. Being able to support running is sufficient. Based on our relationship with the Blackthorn tribe, we can seek help from the Blackthorn Queen. At least restoring his walking ability shouldn't be too big of an issue. "
Reef suspiciously asked.
"You mean, you want the arachnids to restore his severed limb?"
Sheyan nodded and replied.
"Yes, that is the most feasible method. Have you forgotten, us contestants can restore our organs and limbs in the Blackthorn Queen's nest? Furthermore, if we seek help from the humans, then there is a 78% chance of us leaving this world before completing our task. "
Reef was stunned.
“78%? So accurate, how did you calculate it? "
Sheyan replied with a straight face.
"I guessed."
"You ….." Reef was speechless, sullenly leaning against the fleshy wall of the Overlord. After a short while, he sent a trade request to Sheyan, returning the + 5 'Monstrous Fighting Spirit' and other equipments. Sheyan naturally returned the dark-gold necklace 'Smith's Matrix Chip' to Reef. Of course, he casually inquired about what rewards one would receive after reaching the 50 points limit in physique. Facing Sheyan's inquiry, Reef instead revealed an awkward expression. He frowned with a hesitant expression, before sighing and replying.
"Everyone has their own path to tread, other than that, I cannot divulge."
Sheyan's gaze flickered.
"Then ….. do you still have your previous rewards?"
Reef gently shook his head.
"Nope, I need to reach the 50 points limit to obtain that ….. that kind of strength! Truly captivating!! A pity ….. that isn't something the current me can possess. "
"As long as you wish, why can't you?" At this moment, Mogensha had awoken, asking with a hoarse voice. The previous battle could be said to be a complete waste of effort. Because he didn't receive any mission to destroy the aerial defense tower …..
Reef furrowed his brows and replied.
"A child obtaining an invincible lance on the battlefield, the only outcome is being suppressed to the ground. Using a strength that doesn't belong to him, then he will have to pay a disastrous price!"
Sheyan abruptly interrupted.
"Then aren't you in grave danger now?"
Reef lowered his eyelids and replied.
"As long as I don't use that strength again, there shouldn't be any problems."
The Spore Highland was originally adjacent to the Redliner tribe's main base. Riding on an Overlord, Sheyan and the rest could vaguely see the battle was tipping in favor of the Blackthorn tribe. Ultimately, it was still due to the support of those 10 siege tanks from the 'Fatal Helmet' human base. The destructive might of such a terrifying weapon in a defensive battle had far exceeded the Redliner tribe's estimation.
Their hydralisk and zerglings had to brave the terrifying might of the siege tanks to forcefully charge against the Blackthorn tribe's Sunken Colonies. Moreover, the Blackthorn tribe didn't seem to have many mobile troops left behind, but their horrifying economic advantage had been exploited. All the embryonic arachnids in their lair had started producing cheap zerglings in large numbers. They unceasingly charged towards the frontlines, stubbornly resisting the enemy's assault. As for the Redliner tribe's newly produced troops, they had to travel a long distance of hundreds of kilometres before they could arrive as reinforcements!
More importantly, while the battle was in a stalemate, the Redliner tribe's troops were unable to spread out. Only the zerglings and hydralisks at the forefront could engage the enemy, while the rest of the troops were congested within the narrow rocky hills. They had to endure the bombardment of the destructive siege tanks without being able to retaliate!
In the Redliner Overmind's calculations, the Blackthorn Overmind Mozi wouldn't be able to pose much of a threat to this mixed army of hydralisks and zerglings. Unless the Blackthorn Overmind Mozi and the Blackthorn Mother Nest, Shengong, were able to advance to the third rank, then they would be able to obtain a new and powerful army! But that was absolutely impossible!
Hence, the Redliner Overmind didn't care about the narrow terrain, and the huge casualties caused by the inability to fully deploy his troops. Because the Redliner Overmind had long calculated, based on the immense superiority of his military strength, even if his side's casualty ratio had reached 4: 1, he could still mobilize an endless stream of reinforcements to easily break through that seemingly sturdy defensive line! However, the only thing that the Redliner Overmind had missed was the dozen or so siege tanks that Fatal Helmet had generously sent over.
Under the precise bombardment of those steel monstrosities, the Redliner tribe's casualty ratio to the Blackthorn tribe had reached a terrifying 6: 1! Which goes to say, every time the Blackthorn tribe lost an army, the Redliner tribe would have to pay the price of 6 armies.
If this was a war between humans, such a casualty ratio was enough to cause the soldiers to crumble. Yet under the influence of their genes, the Redliner tribe continued to advance frantically, frenziedly assaulting … … until the last hydralisk belonging to the Redliner tribe lost its life, collapsing and gradually melting into the mucus carpet of the Blackthorn tribe.
At this moment, the Blackthorn tribe's base was in shambles. Not only were all the siege tanks blasted apart by the hydralisk's acid and zerglings' razor-sharp claws, not a single Mutalisk remained as reinforcements. Not only that, nearly a third of the Blackthorn tribe's structures had been destroyed. Of the 40 Sunken Colonies, only 3 were left. (The Blackthorn Mother Empress had advanced to the second rank, the number of structures that could be nourished would greatly increase)!
On the contrary, under the persistent aerial harassment of the Blackthorn tribe, 3 of the Redliner tribe's sub-bases had already fallen into the enemy's hands.
Yet at the same moment when the last hydralisk of the Redliner tribe collapsed! Blackthorn Overmind Mozi unhesitatingly issued the order to counterattack. A zergling with a severed left leg took the lead as it limped onto an Overlord. Their target was the Redliner tribe's base! Along with it, were 3 similarly crippled hydralisks! This was the first squad of Overmind Mozi's counterattack. Their sparse and shabby appearance was startling. Yet behind them, within the incubation pool, was a dense array of incubating eggs; as awe-inspiring as a dense forest, one couldn't see the end of it with a single glance.
Half an hour later, this half crippled vanguard squad relied on the Overlord's speed, rapidly advancing to a distance of a hundred kilometres from the Redliner tribe's base. They were met with a group of zerglings and hydralisks of the Redliner tribe. This was also a newly produced squad of the Redliner tribe. Without hesitation, they set off towards the Blackthorn tribe. Assault! Then without hesitation, they were drowned! (To be continued.)
