"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
In mid-air, countless red dots streaked through the air like bullets, causing a whooshing sound. ． Fastest update
Looking from a distance, it looks like a meteor shower.
A "bunker building" with a total height of more than fifty meters, equivalent to the size of a twenty-storey building, and a faint red light glowing in the withered desert at dusk, is the center and origin of this meteor shower.
"Huzhi, Huzhi..."
The target of the "Meteor Shower" is hundreds of large insect-like creatures that are moving towards it around the flame tower.
This is an insect-like creature that obviously does not belong in the desert. It is about five meters tall and covered with a dark purple smooth carapace with flame patterns. In front of its huge, low head, there is a black horizontal head. It has a shovel-shaped structure and a pair of red eyes like car lights.
Well, overall it looks like a heavy bulldozer with its headlights on.
In addition, the targets of this "meteor shower" are thousands of flying insects with bat wings and dark green-brown centipede-like bodies in the sky about two hundred meters above the ground.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Of course, the so-called "meteor showers" are actually bugs.
They are some ants that are nearly ten centimeters in length, have an elongated shape like bullets, and their entire bodies are translucent like flames!
Desert fire ants, unique to the Blighted Desert, are based on level 30 gregarious units.
Judging from the size of the "Diaolou" that emits red light and is more conspicuous than the surrounding sand dunes, it is definitely a giant desert fire ant nest with an order of magnitude exceeding one million.
Theoretically, no creature would disturb such a giant nest.
Because, although the desert fire ant is only a creature of more than 30 levels in terms of level, its individual combat power is considered to be at the bottom in the depths of this withered desert.
However, with the order of millions and extremely high resistance to fire energy, which is the most effective for social creatures, even extremely ferocious advanced social creatures such as desert wolf spiders cannot avoid them.
The most important thing is that there are almost certainly boss-level units in the million-level desert ant nests.
Not to mention ordinary desert creatures, even players need at least a thousand ordinary players or a team of hundreds of Force players. Only with sufficient preparation and command cooperation can they be cleared with a certain degree of certainty.
This is also the reason why these desert fire ants, as a creature of more than 30 levels, actually build their nests in such an area with a level exceeding 50 levels.
However, today, this desert fire ant nest, which is definitely the most numerous in the entire desert, finally met a challenger.
"Pah, pah, pah..."
"-41, -39, -35... "
A large number of desert fire ants, with a density comparable to machine gun bullets, ejected in the air and hit the large bulldozer-shaped insect carapace.
The sound was as continuous as rain hitting rocks.
However, it was immediately ejected. There was not even a mark on the bulldozer's carapace, and the damage value on its head was only two digits, less than fifty.
"Creak, creak..."
And the follow-up method that should have been to use the mouthparts to continue attacking after ejecting close to the body cannot be used.
Because the carapace of a bulldozer bug that is five meters tall is completely equivalent to a mountain for these creatures that are only ten centimeters in size and have mouthparts only one centimeter wide.
Their mastiff pincers that can bite the toughest dead trees in the desert, facing the smooth red-black carapace, are like facing their only natural enemy in the desert, the "desert pangolin", allowing the desert fire to attack in groups. The worker ants feel they have nowhere to start.
However, desert pangolins can only bully their worker ants.
When the desert soldier ants, which are more than one meter in size and half the length of a human, react, they can only retreat and escape.
However, even soldier ants are powerless against these giant bulldozer bugs.
Because, when each soldier ant waved the pair of pincer-like weapons on its head, it rushed in front of these giant siege-car-like creatures that were constantly pushing towards the nest it was defending.
"Pfft..."
A poisonous mist with black smoke came out directly from underneath these bulldozer bugs, engulfing all the surrounding desert fire ants!
“-1000,-1000,-1000…”
A large amount of damage value instantly appeared. At least thousands of desert fire ants were killed by this blow, leaving a piece of energy crystal on the ground.
"Chi, chi, chi..."
Desert fire ants are attacked not only from the ground, but more importantly from the sky.
Above the head, the brown-green bugs, which were about 80 centimeters in size and similar in shape to bats, were opening their mouths and spitting out a series of acidic liquids downwards.
The desert fire ant, which was sprayed by the acid, instantly emitted a large amount of white smoke. By the time it finished bouncing and fell to the ground, it had been corroded to the point where all its joints and limbs had been severed, and it had lost its attack power.
[Flying dragon venom type, level 60 elite, low-level Zerg unit!]
These bugs are of course the Zerg flying dragons, and they are flying dragon units that are more similar to the Zerg prototypes in the interstellar game.
Among the Zerg, any basic unit has numerous subtypes, which can be hatched according to the situation, and can even "evolve" or "mutation" a second time after hatching.
Even their body shape can be adjusted as well.
If necessary, using this function, you can even create a giant flying dragon with a size exceeding ten meters and higher health and level.
Of course, this kind of flying dragon is obviously not suitable for this battle.
Although these ordinary desert fire ants cannot threaten the "soil pilers" on the ground, they have strong anti-air capabilities.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
The ant nest in the center of the bunker shook for a while.
From the holes at the top of the nest, level 33 elite female ants about half a meter in size rushed out. They vibrated a pair of translucent wings with a faint fire color, and took off in an attempt to attack the madman who was using corrosive liquid in the sky. The flying dragons bombarded each other.
According to general proportions, the number of female ants with the ability to fly in this nest should be nearly 10,000, which is definitely a terrifying number.
"Zi, Zhi, Zhi..."
"-1203, -1304, -1056, -1104… "
Of course, although the number is almost ten times that of the flying dragon, the level is only about half.
Moreover, they are also elite units, but due to the restrictions of low-level social creatures, the actual combat power of these female ants is only equivalent to ordinary creatures of more than 30 levels.
Facing the Zerg flying dragon, which is also a gregarious creature, but its actual combat power is still at the elite level, it is impossible to be of much use.
Although they rose into the air in large numbers, they almost covered the entire upper area of the nest.
However, the fragile wings of these female ants were soon corroded by the venom spitted by the flying dragon, and they fell to the ground like rain.
However, because they blocked and absorbed a large amount of venom, they also created conditions for attack by the hundreds of leader-level female ants among them.
The female ants, whose bodies were shrouded in a transparent fire energy shield, quickly condensed the fire energy in their mouthparts after getting out of the nest. After brewing for a few seconds, the colors of the ants were already a little bit... The white fireball, representing high temperature, flew towards the group of flying dragons in the sky.
Moreover, the direction in which they were aiming was exactly where the female ants had fallen completely, leaving an unobstructed position.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Several groups of explosive flames instantly appeared in the sky, and then the wings of more than a dozen flying dragons in the sky were burned and they fell from the sky.
"Puff puff… "
Although he tried his best to slow down his landing by waving his remaining wings, he did not fall directly to death. However, after falling to the ground, he was immediately drowned by desert fire ants like an ocean.
There is obviously a commander among the desert fire ants, and he is a commander with high AI.
Because, obviously, the place where ordinary female ant colonies appear is theoretically the place where the flying dragons are most densely populated.
Under the bombardment of high-temperature fireballs that are shot at high speed and can adjust their trajectories in the air, it is impossible to completely escape.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Moreover, this is just the first wave.
In the blink of an eye, a second wave of more numerous white fireballs took off like rockets.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."
Seeing this situation, the group of flying dragons in the sky couldn't help but move suddenly, and they responded in the blink of an eye.
Most of the flying dragons quickly opened the distance between each other, while a small number of flying dragons rushed directly towards the fireball below in the opposite direction.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
It turned out to be using the direction of early contact to detonate these fireballs, providing time for the remaining flying dragons to close the distance.
This scene feels like a two-player strategy game, with each other quickly making and dismantling moves.
In fact, the commander of the desert fire ant swarm is obviously the boss in this super nest, and the commander of these flying dragons is not Feng Luo, but 24k!
The flying arms of both sides continued to change their formations in the air, causing casualties to each other.
Although in general, almost twenty desert fire ants were killed before one flying dragon could be eliminated, the desert fire ants at least stabilized the situation.
However, although the situation in the air can be stabilized, hundreds of tall bugs like bulldozers are approaching on the ground.
But it had already approached less than 200 meters away from the desert fire ant nest, and at this time, the second attack method was displayed.
"puff!"
A bulldozer bug opened its mouth under the shovel, and a smell of sulfur filled the air.
"Whizzing… "
This made the desert fire ants rushing towards it seem to think it was an opportunity, and they immediately shot towards its mouth.
"Pah, pah!"
However, when the first desert fire ant worker ant was ejected into the bulldozer bug's mouth, he immediately regretted it.
"boom!"
Because, at the next moment, a stream of high-temperature red flames spurted out from the mouth of the bulldozer bug, directly engulfing it and several of its subsequent companions.
And this flame, because of the shovel-like head structure, then shunted towards the surroundings and turned into a relatively flat flame, directly covering the area within about ten meters around the Bulldozer Bug.
"-576, -649, -465, -532..."
Suddenly, large areas of continuous damage appeared on the heads of more than a thousand desert fire ants within this range.
Although desert fire ants have a high resistance to fire energy, the flames spit out from the mouth of this bulldozer-like insect are biological flames formed by some atomized flammable agents.
Even if he was resistant, his limbs would still be burned to pieces, but he would not die quickly.
"Buzz!"
And this was obviously deliberately designed.
Because, at this time, the bulldozer-like bug had a mass of something coming out from under its body again, but it was not the poisonous mist from before, but a black energy that seemed to be alive.
After rushing out, it quickly spread and covered the entire area. It lost its ability to move, but it was still struggling.
Ten seconds later, when the huge body of the bulldozer bug passed through this area, a wisp of black air emerged from the corpses of these desert fire ants and merged into the black air that moved like life, moving forward with it.
["Mantis, basic level 60 (commander), mid-level Zerg unit!"]
This is a Zerg unit that does not have a real prototype in the interstellar game, because it is obtained by the Steel Beetle after being strengthened by the Zerg base.
As a commander-level unit, Feng Luo originally wanted to name it "Demon Steel Beetle", but later decided to follow the Zerg custom and order it to be "Mantis".
From the original name, we can also know that it actually incorporates genetic fragments of the mythical creature "Devil".
Therefore, this Zerg unit can serve as a host for the dark life protozoa for a short period of time!
In addition, compared with the original steel beetle, while maintaining its original high defense capabilities, it has gained in advance the poison gas and "mouthparts" attack methods that were originally required to be unlocked by quasi-boss and boss-level steel beetles.
"Buzz!"
The mantis at the front officially stepped within two hundred meters of the fire ant nest.
The ground around the nest suddenly rumbled, and a bunch of large holes were opened in the ground. Ten ants rushed out one after another. They looked similar to the female ant leader, and were more than two meters tall. , the surging fire energy all around was so strong that it seemed like the desert fire ants were burning the surrounding air.
At the same time, a faint feeling of oppression spread to the entire battlefield instantly.
There are quasi-boss-level desert fire ants, and there are ten of them!
