In actual fact, the frenzied slaughter didn't persist for long, roughly roughly 10 minutes. Due to the incessant casualties of both sides, the battlefield rapidly shrunk like snow melting away. Nevertheless, the final outcome gradually became clearer, and caused Sheyan's eyes to widen.
Within the battlefield spanning over 10 square kilometres, only a single zergling was left, frenziedly pursuing a slinger riddled with cuts and bruises. Using its razor-sharp claws, the zergling ripped apart the slinger's trachea and blood vessels, before feasting on its flesh and drinking its blood. Finally, the zergling howled shrilly towards the heavens like a wolf!!!
Witnessing this scene, Sheyan couldn't help but turn towards that plump zerg. Recalling the last time he saw it, its prowess was merely a Black-Iron Lord. Yet previously, the nightmare imprint had informed that it was a Silver Lord ….. if such an outcome was purposefully arranged by it, then its ability to completely grasp the battle within its palms, could only be described as terrifying! No wonder it harbored such thoughts of replacing the arachnid Queen Blade.
"Whether it's a coincidence or not, we'll know in the next battle." Sheyan couldn't help but mutter. After witnessing the previous situation, Reef solemnly replied. "I reckon Mother Nature Eywa will be serious this time."
"Oh right." Sheyan suddenly recalled something and asked. "Where are the Takji clansmen?"
Mogensha laughed bitterly and replied. "They fled upon witnessing the beast horde."
Sheyan calmly replied.
"They worship Mother Nature Eywa. Naturally, upon witnessing her descending beast horde, they could only flee as far as possible. Previously, I didn't reckon the construction of the arachnid base would actually incite a beast horde. I'll settle this debt in the future."
After speaking, Sheyan couldn't help but raise his voice towards the distant Blackthorn Overmind.
"The next wave is definitely going to be serious. I'll send you some of the information I obtained from before."
Yet at this moment, Sheyan suddenly sensed something strange. It was as though the surrounding structures and organs were sparkling with a black luster. If the previous arachnid base's organ structures were unfinished houses, then now, they were inlaid with ceramic tiles, and served as exterior decorations. They could clearly feel that the incubation speed of various insectoids and the construction speed of their organs had increased by a certain margin!
In the very next second, that class 3 beast lair that had been prepared as a Mother Nest suddenly swelled up once again. It was at least close to 200 metres tall, as 7-8 incomparably malevolent thick fleshy red tentacles sprouted out from its body. These tentacles fluttered incessantly towards the sky, while the purplish red blood vessels on its surface appeared as though they were congested with blood, as they swelled frantically. At the top of this originally malevolent and majestic organ structure, a strange hexagonal rhombus formed from high purity pandora crystals gradually surfaced! From time to time, it would emit rays of light!
Observing its height and grandeur, it appeared exceptionally savage and malevolent. Don't even mention the 300 metre tall Hometree, only the Tree of Souls that the na'vi deemed as a sacred land could be compared in the same breath!
"The Mother of the Blackthorns must have migrated here." Mogensha couldn't help but exclaim. Just as his words faded, the Mother of the Blackthorns' voice resounded in everyone's hearts. "My friends, I thank you for your assistance. I can sense from afar, there's a massive mysterious force amassing various creatures in preparation to launch an assault on us."
At this moment, Sheyan suddenly felt something strange. He abruptly turned around, and realized that the massive fanged Wormhole was actually rapidly withering away at a speed visible to the naked eye. He was instantly startled as he asked.
"Mother of the Blackthorns, what's wrong with this Wormhole?"
The Mother of the Blackthorns calmly replied.
"A Wormhole is a spatial coordinate that connects two points, and is actually one entity. When the Wormhole on that side dies, the Wormhole on this side will naturally wither away."
Sheyan hurriedly asked.
"But … ….."
The Blackthorn Overmind suddenly interrupted.
"We've already decided to completely abandon our base on that side. In actual fact, we can only harvest for another 2 months at most. However, there are 4 arachnid tribes besieging us. If we don't leave behind sufficient forces to resist, just relying on our Sunken Colonies and anti-air Spore Forts, we definitely won't be able to last for 8 hours."
"8 hours?" Sheyan asked suspiciously.
The Mother of the Blackthorns patiently explained.
"Constructing a Wormhole requires the manipulation of space and time, leaving behind traces in the universe. If we're unable to delay for 8 hours, then there's a possibility of using the unrestored space vortex to pinpoint our location, and locate this heavenly planet that we came from. But if we delay for 8 hours, then even if her majesty the Queen herself arrives, she wouldn't be able to find any traces of clues. "
Sheyan laughed bitterly.
"But ….. you can feel it too, that massive and mysterious force is currently mobilizing creatures in preparation for an assault. If you don't summon reinforcements from the Wormhole, then how can you withstand it? Its assault will definitely be ferocious wave after wave, and will even target your weak points. "
The Mother of the Blackthorns gently replied.
"That force is indeed massive, and the creatures it mobilizes are exceedingly valiant. However ….. they didn't appear in this world for the sake of battle."
Not knowing why, when he heard the final words of the Mother of the Blackthorns, he suddenly recalled the boundless battlefield littered with corpses, and the frenzied appearance of the zerglings chasing after the slingers. Sheyan's heart suddenly relaxed.
*****
The ground faintly trembled.
Like the incomparably oppressive rumbling of drums! It was as though every creature's innards were resonating with fear!
That was the sound of gigantic beasts.
That was the sound of mighty gigantic beasts that had received the blessings of Mother Nature Eywa.
That was the sound of them trampling on Pandora's soil at high speed!
This time, Eywa was enraged! According to Sheyan's visual estimation, at least 8 legendary creatures with health points of hundreds of thousands were paving the way ahead, charging towards them like a thunderbolt!!
Behind them, a mix of slingers, viperwolves and other creatures blended together.
In response to such a majestic momentum, rows after rows of densely packed eggs were currently incubating within the arachnid base. The awe-inspiring presence of soldiers stood like a forest!!!
When the mixed beast horde was a kilometre away from the arachnid base, at least 30 gigantic eggs that were as tall as 2 storeys, shockingly distinct cracks appeared on their surface. Following closely, the egg shells shattered into pieces, as 3 storeys tall gigantic beasts covered in tough exoskeleton hatched out one after another.
Once they hatched, they silently followed the path of the arachnid base and directly charged forward! Invisibly, an orderly austere aura was on the verge of bursting out. Merely the rumbling of their stomps on the ground was already as majestic as an army, brimming with a desperate atmosphere of pressing forward courageously.
The carapace of these gigantic beasts appeared as thick and solid as an ancient armor, exhibiting an exceedingly distinct bronze hue! Most shockingly, two crescent-shaped gigantic tusks protruded from their mouths, their length reaching at least half of their body. These gigantic beasts were like living gigantic tanks. Not only that, their terrifying jaws were razor-sharp, and could easily penetrate through the thick armor of various troops.
These were the ultimate arachnid ground troops – Ultralisks!
During their charging process, a large number of eggs were successively hatched. When the beast horde was 500 metres away from the arachnid base, the arachnid army here had already begun to take shape. Unexpectedly, it was a mix of Ultralisks, zerglings, hydralisks and lurkers.
In the instance where the beast horde and arachnid horde clashed without fear! It was as though a mournful lightning flashed between the heavens and earth, freezing the entire battlefield like a camera's flash. It was as though the heavens and earth were paying attention, carving this incomparably bloody battlefield into their memories!!!!!
The gigantic tusks of the Ultralisks pierced deeply into the body of the Sturmbeest, as blood spurted out. Yet the Sturmbeest that had received the blessings of Goddess Eywa howled miserably. It stood upright, and shook its sturdy little mountain like body. The Ultralisks weren't able to retract in time, as they snapped in mid-air, losing their balance as they tumbled to the ground.
Then, the Sturmbeest's front hooves carried agony and fury, as it trampled down heavily. The 1 metre thick carapace of the Sturmbeest was utterly incapable of resisting the tremendous force. Even from hundreds of metres away, one could still hear the terrifying shattering sounds of the carapace. Murky red fluids sprayed out a dozen metres high, before sprinkling down like rain.
Yet immediately, 3 more Ultralisks charged forward in a frenzy! Raising their ring-shaped tusks, they sliced deeply into the Sturmbeest's body! They carried with them a formidable force, as they knocked the Sturmbeest back repeatedly! Yet the Sturmbeest's response was to stabilize itself, before it charged forward in a frenzy!
There was only a single thought in its mind!
Charge forward!
Under such circumstances, the Sturmbeest actually dashed forward. The long fur on its back fluttered in the air. When its massive body soared up, its mane softly stuck to its tough leather. When its massive body descended, its mane fluttered upwards. Surging and hazy, it gave off an exceedingly complex feeling. It was both gentle, yet brimming with strength and beauty.
Streaks of minute black shadows flitted across its body! It was precisely those unremarkable looking zerglings. Although their claws weren't able to threaten the thick hide of the Sturmbeest, the razor-sharp fangs of the Ultralisks were able to carve out long lines of mangled flesh; these were their primary targets!
