Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 400 Thunder Beast
The mutated iron-winged mosquito has a small body, and its wings are only about the size of a fist. However, its body is extremely strong after being evolved by the insect race. In addition to sucking blood, it can also inject toxins into its target's body while sucking blood, causing it to continuously lose blood!

“Bang bang bang~~~”

Amidst the dense splattering, the iron-winged mosquitoes slammed into the armor of the players in the front row like small cannons. Within seconds, the faces of more than ten players in the front row turned blue, all of them entering a poisoning state, their health bars plummeting.

"What the hell is this?!"

"Fight back! Kill them!"

A group of players shouted and yelled, but to little avail.

Iron-winged mosquitoes are small and powerful, with a high flight speed, making them difficult for firearms to hit, and melee-oriented players also have a low hit rate when slashing with their weapons.

Especially the few hammer-wielding super weapon players in the crowd, each of them wielded a huge hammer just like Jess, but it felt like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito.

"I go……"

With a gentle swing of my sword, I instantly sliced ​​off two iron-winged mosquitoes. But there were too many of them. A swarm of them pounced on me, and my exposed face and neck were quickly bitten several times. In the blink of an eye, I was poisoned, and my health bar dropped rapidly.

"Ding Han, you can't fight like that!"

Behind her, Ruolin shouted, "Get out of here, or we'll all get eaten alive by the iron-winged mosquitoes!"

"Ok!"

I swung my sword and cleaved several iron-winged mosquitoes in two, shouting, "Retreat! We can't stay in the insect nest pit any longer! Fearless ones, stay behind to cover the rear! Those who go out, prepare your flamethrowers!"

"go!"

Bi Shangguan drew his sword to cover everyone's retreat. A group of players from the Jianghu Guild quickly retreated, while Ruolin and I covered the rear of Ding Han's team. After Kou Mei, Fa Ye, and other fragile characters retreated, I swung my power sword to scare away the Iron-Winged Mosquito and then retreated.

Behind him, only Aki, piloting the Fearless, was firing freely in the darkness. As the machine guns roared, Aki's angry curses could be heard.

"Come on, you bunch of idiots, let's fight your mecha grandpa for three hundred rounds!"

Very good, very cringeworthy.

……

The group quickly left the insect nest and returned to the shore.

"Aki, get out!"

Although the fearless creature's shell is thick, it will still wear down from constant attacks.

With the roar of the engine, blue flames erupted from the back and feet of the Dauntless as it flew directly out of the insect hive. After a short flight, the energy bar on its chest had decreased by at least 30%, but it was slowly recovering.

"Watch out, a metal-winged mosquito is coming!"

From the wall, Guan shouted in a low voice, "Flamethrower, charge!"

Immediately, players with flamethrowers rushed forward and began spraying flames towards the cave entrance. Even the Fearless raised their right arms and joined the flamethrowing army.

"Zhizhi~~"

When the dense swarms of iron-winged mosquitoes encountered the flames, although their bodies were hard and their wings, as thin as cicada wings, were difficult to cut with ordinary swords, they were still afraid of fire. Their wings were quickly burned off in the flames, and soon a bunch of wingless iron-winged mosquitoes appeared, wriggling on the ground like insects.

How could the players miss such a golden opportunity? They all took out their guns and fired wildly, gaining a lot of experience points and mission points.

"drop!"

Just then, my phone rang.

He took out his phone and glanced at it. It was a message from Su Wei: "Ding Han, hold on in the direction of Emerald Lake. The Crimson Dragon Legion's Southwest War Zone has issued a Level 1 alert. I and a large number of power armor warriors will be airdropped there as soon as possible. Remember, you must hold off the swarm and prevent them from spreading out, otherwise it will be troublesome. The spread of a swarm from a super-giant swarm may not be able to stop the Wall of Life outside Xicheng and Huaining City."

I replied briefly: "We'll do our best, come quickly!"

Although the players from Huaining City are considered top-tier nationwide, it's still too much of a stretch to ask them to single-handedly take on a rampaging, colossal insect hive.

If the players can't hold out, they'll have to rely on powerful "NPCs" like Su Wei to join the battle!
……

"drop!"

Gun Out Like a Dragon sent a voice call: "Ding Han, the explosive power of the super-giant insect hive is too fierce. Our three major guilds, Crimson Sky Alliance, Ember Domain, and Old Royal Court, will soon withdraw from the insect hive. You guys guard the cave entrance and don't let the insect swarm cross the line. We'll guard the western entrance and organize a defensive line on the surface to suppress the spread of the insect swarm at all costs."

"it is good!"

I nodded, then charged into a swarm of blue blade insects, brandishing my crimson blade. My sword flashed wildly as I dismembered the insects, trying to alleviate the pressure on the group of players behind me.

"Front row, hold on!"

Cai Cai and Fatty, two tough and resilient firepower users, also joined the front line. Their armor sizzled under the onslaught of the insects, but their attacks never stopped, as they frantically swept the swarm of insects!
Like me, Ruolin wielded her sword and shield, hacking wildly through the swarm of insects.

Kou Mei and Fa Ye unleashed a barrage of AOE damage into the swarm, attempting to inflict as much damage as possible.

However, the swarm of insects was too dense, and the players' defenses continued to weaken. Players from weaker guilds like "People in the Jianghu" were frequently killed by the insects' concentrated fire, turning into golden light and flying back to the City of Kings.

Just as the battle was raging, a booming sound came from the bottom of the lake not far away.

The bottom of Emerald Lake had long been hollowed out by the insect hive, and now the surface was collapsing continuously, like a chain reaction. In the blink of an eye, the bottom of this long, narrow lake sank into the ground, followed by a massive swarm of insects! It's over. The battle line has been extended, and there are only five or six hundred people from Huaining City who have actually come to the Emerald Lake battlefield. Even with the Fearless Ones in charge, it's impossible to withstand them!

From afar, the sound of gunfire echoed like dragons: "Right-side positions retreat to make way for the swarm; left-side positions move slightly to the right to connect the defensive lines. If we create a breach in our lines, the swarm will charge in relentlessly to encircle us!"

I hurriedly shouted, "Retreat fifty meters, leave the main position to the swarm, and move the right flank forward thirty meters to suppress the swarm within the Emerald Lake area as much as possible!"

Everyone did as instructed.

Unfortunately, our command was fine; the only problem was that the swarm was too large to stop!
Even more deadly was that, with the slight retreat of the main battlefront, countless scorpions and hydralisks cackled and stopped attacking by the lake, as if welcoming something.

In the blink of an eye, streaks of pink light flashed out from the insect hive and gathered into a swarm.

"Watch out, it's Kaleban!"

Ruolin narrowed her eyes: "At least 200+ pink Kaleban, this wave of attack will be quite powerful. We must hold them off, otherwise we will be utterly defeated!"

"withstand!"

As Aki piloted the Dauntless, he charged forward, his body sinking, and his right arm spontaneously assembled a massive, spinning chainsaw sword, looking extremely ferocious.

"hiss--"

One of the Kaleban suddenly let out a piercing scream, and the rest of the Kaleban rushed forward as if a pink tide were engulfing them, which was quite frightening!

I stood at the forefront, and in an instant, dozens of pink Kaleban surged forward, wielding their scythes to slash at the power shield, creating a hissing sound and sending sparks flying everywhere!

"Use your area-of-effect (AOE) control skills!"

After a loud shout, the people behind him activated their control-burst techniques.

Some summoned a whole patch of supple reeds to greatly reduce Kareban's movement and attack speed, some activated Starfall to stun a swarm of insects, and some summoned clear streams to impact the insect swarm, causing it to retreat instead of advance.

In short, as veteran players, everyone has some secret tricks up their sleeve.

good chance!
I immediately activated Battle Cry + Chaos Blade + Unstoppable Force, quickly unleashing more than ten sword strikes to stack up the damage, and then released the Burst skill - Summon Swarm - against the dense horde of Kaleban monsters!
"boom!"

A crimson six-pointed star crashed into the earth, engulfing nearly a hundred Kaleban. Immediately afterward, a large number of insect phantoms were summoned from the six-pointed star, including exploding insects, iron-winged mosquitoes, and fire beetles. Under the rampage of the insect swarm, Kaleban's health bar dropped rapidly!
That damage is incredible! No wonder it's a burst skill added by a Chaos-level necklace!

The next second, he charged into the swarm of insects with a burst of power, unleashing a double attack of Furnace Vortex and Power Sword Storm!

Kareban's health bar dropped rapidly, a very encouraging result.

Ruolin quickly joined in, and she also unleashed a flurry of Furnace Vortex and Power Sword Storm. I wonder when she got Furnace Vortex. As the strongest female player in Huaining City, she's got some skills.

After nearly twenty minutes of fierce fighting, more than 200 pink Kaleban were reduced to corpses, but the swarm of insects pouring out of the hive only increased, constantly compressing the outer players' defenses.

"I feel like we're about to lose control."

Amidst the frantic barrage of gunfire, Cai Cai uttered a sentence.

I haven't expressed my opinion yet, because if I did, it would undermine morale.

Sometimes, whether it's playing a game or fighting a real war, it's all about maintaining a good morale. Whoever lets their guard down first loses. So you can't say things that shake morale, even if it's true.

"Don't give up, we can still fight!" Ruolin said.

"Ok!"

Everyone nodded in unison, and the fearless warriors in the front row, wielding their chainsaw swords and constantly slicing open the insects' bodies, seemed even more motivated.

"Boss."

Suddenly, Kou Mei whispered, "A large red light has appeared underground!"

Indeed, that spot of light was much larger than the pink Cariban's spot of light.

No way! The Zerg swarm is already quite troublesome; if a major boss appears at this point, who can withstand it?!

At this moment, the Yuanli Furnace began to hum, and then a huge creature emerged from the black hole at the bottom of the lake. Its body was covered with hard shells, and powerful scythes extended from under the shells to support its body. Its head had a Y-shaped horn that was constantly flashing with lightning, making it look quite frightening!

"Damn, this is it?"

Cai Cai, Bing Zi, and the others turned pale.

At this moment, I also saw the attributes of this Zerg unit making its first appearance—

【Thunder Beast】(Void-level, S10, Crimson BOSS)

Rating: 80
Attack: 45000-60000
Defense: 20000
Qi and blood: 200000000

Details: Thunder Beast, an eighth-tier Zerg unit. These behemoths evolved from Overlord Zerg and possess immense strength and defense. A single Thunder Beast is equivalent to a mobile biological fortress, capable of defeating a large human army. But its most terrifying aspect goes far beyond that; the lightning derived from the psionic energy within its body is its true killing move!
……

We actually encountered the Tier 8 Zerg unit, the Ultralisk, on its very first appearance!
