Intense Battle Against the Insect Swarm
The reaction of the Swarm in the Starry Sky exceeded the Player's expectations. The Player's teams had barely left the Outpost when countless Swarm attacked them.
"Old Wang, it's your turn to perform!" Liao Wuhen's voice rang out from the command center.
The Player needed a shot in the arm for the first wave of battles; no one could boost their morale more than Wang Qianduo.
Upon hearing this, Old Wang immediately took off and stood before the army of Mutant Insect in the Starry Sky.
All that could be seen was that one of the seven gems floating beside him lit up, and a Blazing Phoenix tens of meters tall appeared behind him.
As the white Lord of the Elements Mecha swung its fist, the Blazing Phoenix simultaneously spread its arms.
Endless flames erupted from beneath the phoenix's wings, and all the Swarm in the Starry Sky that were swept by the flames were reduced to ashes.
Old Wang burned a vacuum zone out of the entire Swarm, and just then, Teacher Zhang's very distinctive voice came from the command center:
"All troops, attack!"
Countless Player immediately took action, using the vacuum created by Old Wang's blazing flames to attack the Swarm.
The two lines of battle quickly merged, and the flashes of fire continued to pierce the air as an exceptionally grand battle unfolded.
At this moment, atop Leviathan at the heart of the Swarm, the Advanced Brain Bug commanding the battle was also somewhat shocked by what it saw.
The Mutant Insect have roamed the Universe for countless years, and are called a calamity by countless races. Some races are even terrified at the mere sight of them.
They rely on their fearless cannon fodder troops and their super-strong infection and reproductive capabilities.
But they had never seen a race like this before; each of them was clearly a highly Intelligence individual.
Because he could clearly sense a range of emotions from them, such as excitement, tension, and melancholy, but he could not sense their fear of death.
These individuals, called humans, he remembered, possessed fear! Why didn't these human warriors in front of them feel it?
Even when facing death, they continued to laugh out loud.
Compared to them, it felt that the other was more like a natural disaster.
What it didn't know was that these beings, known as Player, were referred to as the Fourth Calamity.
On the battlefield
Because of their fearless fighting spirit, coupled with the intervention of experts like Old Wang, the Player gained the upper hand despite facing the endless Insectoid.
Just as they were about to push the battlefield forward, the Swarm's special forces, the elite Spine Serpent squads, arrived.
Having transformed into Universe- flying race, they surprised everyone upon their arrival with a barrage of countless bone spikes and acidic liquid rays, instantly felling thousands of people in the front row.
"Assassin Legion, kill them quickly! Mage units, retreat, beware of their next attack."
No one in the command center noticed their arrival, otherwise they wouldn't have been in such a passive position.
After receiving the order, the assassin legion, led by Xiao Hai, immediately stealthily Stealth forward. After assigning two assassins and one Spine Serpent to each, the group attacked together.
All the shadows around Xiao Hai converged on the blade in his hand, and then the blade pierced the Spine Serpent's body.
The Spine Serpent, in pain, immediately turned to stare at him, but before it could attack, a series of shadow spears erupted from its body, instantly depleting its health.
The other Assassin Mech also used every means at their disposal to try and eliminate the Spine Serpent squad as quickly as possible.
Because no one had considered retreating, they all unleashed their ultimate abilities right from the start.
The Spine Serpent forces suffered heavy casualties in an instant, and the Player's battle line pushed forward again.
This time they didn't encounter this type of enemy again, and the command staff had also discovered some special enemies in advance.
"Old Wang, there's a special Mutant Insect using poison gas 2000 meters away at your 7 o'clock position. It's very deadly. Go and take care of it!" Liao Wuhen.
"Receive!"
After replying, Old Wang immediately flew in that direction, where a Mutant Insect, shaped like a flea and covered with many pores, was emitting poisonous gas.
He was surrounded by hundreds of Player's Mecha, all of Player had been killed by his poison gas.
What makes this Mutant Insect special is that Player killed by its poison gas will be controlled by it and turned into puppets.
Poison Puppet Bug
Race: Mutant Insect
Rank: Chief
LV37
HP: 100000
MP:400000
Attack: 500
Defense: 15
Skills: Deadly Poison Gas, Puppet Control, Life Substitution, Death Gaze
Old Wang witnessing this, the Flame Ghost Face reappeared and flew towards the Mutant Insect.
The Mutant Insect immediately controlled its puppet to fight back. After consuming half of the puppet, Old Wang's skill turned into a small flame.
Just as it lowered its guard against this skill and prepared to attack Old Wang with poison gas, the flame quickly stuck to its body.
Then a pillar of fire erupted, and its figure was instantly reduced to ashes in the flames.
However, Old Wang frowned at this moment, because its aura and the puppet had not disappeared.
Just as Old Wang was searching for him, he sensed something and immediately used Blink.
This allowed him to avoid a venomous claw that suddenly appeared in front of him.
"It doesn't have Stealth skills, so how did it do that?" Old Wang wondered, looking at the Poison Puppet Bug that appeared and disappeared.
However, now is not the time to think about these things. Although he couldn't understand the reasoning behind it, it didn't stop Old Wang from dealing with him.
Twenty-one photons appeared, Old Wang pointed into the Void, blasting all the puppets he controlled into pieces. Then, the photons spread across the ground and blasted out the Mutant Insect.
The moment the Mutant Insect revealed itself, all twenty-one photons were aimed at it, instantly sending it to its demise.
After the Mutant Insect died, it dropped an item, which Old Wang picked up.
Stealth Stone
Perfect
Inlay area: Armor coating
Health +500
Health +5%
Defense +5
Stealth (Active): When activated, the Mecha will enter a stealth state for 30 seconds, with a 100-second cooldown.
Stealth: Deceive the enemy's senses and disappear from their sight. You will re-enter stealth after 0.5 seconds following the first attack. The second attack will break the stealth state.
Note: Hehehe!
A Perfect attribute Socket Stone explains why this insect can become invisible.
It turns out that while the Swarm cannot use Socket Stone, it seems they can eat these things and inherit their attributes.
Old Wang sent the item's properties to the group chat, and then said to everyone:
"Special Mutant Insect should all drop these special items, but they're quite difficult to kill!"
"Nice one!"
The group was immediately aroused by this thing, and they began to frantically cause trouble for those special Mutant Insect.
Although the special Mutant Insect were powerful, they couldn't stop the frenzied Player, and dozens of Mutant Insect were quickly killed by the crowd.
Without exception, all of these Mutant Insect dropped special items, whether it was equipment, stones, or other Rare items.
These things further aroused the crowd, making them even more frenzied.
Brain Bug: "..."
It simply couldn't understand why these people would send hundreds of them to kill a single elite Mutant Insect. How did they discover the Swarm's weakness?
That's right, the Player stumbled upon the Mutant Insect's weakness by accident. These elite Mutant Insect are the backbone of the Swarm, while Normal Mutant Insect, even high-level Ultralisks, are just cannon fodder unless they mutate.
Unless they are exceptional beings like Leviathan, they are all cannon fodder in the Swarm unless they mutate.
"Send out the Wind-Thunder Beast!"
Just as the Brain Bug began to doubt its existence, the Overmind sent a message.
"Yes!"
On the battlefield, countless Player were fighting frantically against the Mutant Insect, but suddenly, Leviathan emitted a peculiar wave.
Almost simultaneously, all the Mutant Insect began to flap their wings, releasing waves of energy that hurtled towards Leviathan.
The released Mutant Insect, which could be seen as a wave, moved quickly but turned grayish-white before collapsing.
After Leviathan absorbed this energy, a crack opened up in his massive back, and a monster with a dog-like body and four wings flew out from it.
As soon as the beast appeared, it unleashed a purple laser beam that swept across the entire area, cleaving thousands of Mecha in half.
"Boss! Looks like a high-attack boss, everyone stay close together!" the command center announced.
Old Wang looked at the monster in front of him and immediately flew towards it.
"Who can see the properties of this thing? Send them out quickly!" the advance team suddenly said.
"I can't see it!"
"I can't see it either!"
"It's going to break!"
