  Chapter 284 Relic Giant Soldier (23)

The insect swarms are attracted by the highly poisonous source quality and spiritual energy. The sound of their flapping wings is extremely ear-piercing, piercing into people's hearts, which makes people unable to think at ease, and the black energy they bring is extremely poisonous, and they can be easily killed. It makes people's skin fester.

  If it weren't for the Special Operations Team and the Spiritual Weapon Church wearing gas masks and skin coatings, 90% of the people in the team would have died in just one impact.

   "What bug?"

The captain reached out and grabbed an insect. It was a strange insect that resembled a moth and a dragonfly. Its appearance was covered with uneven gray-black metal scales. The sound of flapping wings, but except for the scales, its head is blue and red with a greasy luster, and its tail has a highly poisonous tail needle that can be reused like a killer bee.

Crushing the strange insect, the team leader was surprised to find that it was still alive—the inside of the strange insect was a kind of weird corrosive colloid, inside which was floating the internal organs of the insect, crushing the body would not kill it immediately. To kill this strange insect, it has to be treated with fire or alkali or salt.

   "Boom buzz..."

The swarms of insects kept coming, shaking the tunnel, with an unstoppable momentum. Their scales shone brilliantly, their tail needles were sharp and compelling, and their voices were piercing and shocking. They were simply a perfect tool of war. , like a flood sweeping through, making everyone want to retreat and avoid it.

  The Feiyan soldiers who first came into contact with had already opened fire, and the flames were shining brightly.

   "Ahh!"

"Help!"

But the effect was not great. The sound and flash of the fire attracted the insect swarm instead. The two soldiers who fired at the beginning were overwhelmed by the gathered insect swarm. It is densely packed eggs and small worms.

  —Swarms will build nests inside the organisms they kill to feed their hatchlings!

   As a last resort, the captain could only use cold weapons to fight. He drew out his sword, activated the wind pressure, and slashed at the swarm of insects amidst clanging and trembling sounds.

Several continuously rotating wind blades swept forward like cutting blades, chopped and crushed a large group of strange insects—the scaled moth is not tough, and with the power of the Terrans, one sword can destroy it. Not a lot.

   This pointed out the other soldiers, and the sound of swords and swords slashing in the black mist could be seen incessantly, and various martial arts were used to attack the swarm. The air waves surged, causing corpses to fall one after another.

   At the same time, the trap was also detonated.

  Boom!

Violent explosions sounded, thunder echoed in the tunnel, gravel and shock waves rushed back and forth in a relatively narrow area, and the directional blasting explosives formed a high-heat air wave, which directly cut off the still surging highly toxic black mist. Even back and forth.

And the psychic blast also played a role. Even the Feiyan soldier who was not the main attack felt his brain being punched by someone after a flash of blue light. His five senses disappeared for a moment, and his ears were buzzing. What? Can't hear either.

If it is on a wide surface, the swarm can spread out to avoid shock waves and spiritual explosions, but in the underground ruins, they cannot be avoided, they can only be burned to ashes, or fall like raindrops—just In an instant, most of the originally dense swarm of insects disappeared, and the darkness that could not be seen was much thinner.

   "Buzz buzz..."

  But before everyone in Feiyan breathed a sigh of relief, there was another ear-piercing sound of flapping wings in the corridor in the distance, and the black mist became thick again, making everyone's complexions change suddenly.

   "What is in front, can't you finish killing it?"

   In this regard, the Church of Spiritual Weapons also had to show its hole card—the nun took out a box from the center of her chest, opened it, and a red light shot on the ground, and then quickly condensed into a giant machine gun the size of a person.

  Easy to lift this giant machine gun with one hand, the weight of the nun is impressively heavier than this machine gun.

  —The body transformation rate of the Iron Nuns of the Spiritual Tool Church is all over 80%... They are not so much human beings as they are armored with human brains!

   um...

  The huge machine gun began to rotate and warm up, and the nun also began to show her inheritance ability—high-heat fiery red dust merged into the machine gun, condensing into half-empty and half-solid bullets.

  Spiritual Weapon Church's unique true shape inheritance "heavy-armed attack hand" can condense high-explosive bullets anytime and anywhere, and even without logistics, one person can capture the enemy's position.

And the small box she took out before is the technology 'Ether Matter Converter', which was only discovered by the Church of Spiritual Equipment in the last ten years from the remains of life in the previous era. , stored in the corresponding bin.

   It is said that this technology is the core of the "ascension plan" carried out by the civilization of the pre-epoch... In other words, it can also convert the human body into ether, thereby reducing the pressure of ascension and ascensing more people at one time.

  After the giant machine gun was warmed up, a storm of flames swept across the entire passageway was sprayed out in an instant—the flames blew out, and almost all the scute moths were burned up in an instant.

Although some insects turned to besiege the nun, these insects discovered after stinging and biting that the nun's loose clergy robe was not a soft body, but solid steel... the nun with the sleepless eyes, In other words, all the core members of the Spiritual Equipment Order need to use special techniques for body transformation. Except for the flesh and blood tissue that is used to load the source material structure, almost all of their bodies will be replaced with steel.

  A mere needling can't penetrate the nun's outer armor at all, and can only be burned to ashes by the heat radiation from the opponent's body.

  【Forward】

  At this moment, entering the battle state, the real voice of the nun sounded, it was an electronic voice without any emotion, flat without ups and downs: [There should be a nest of this group of strange insects ahead, if you want to continue exploring, you must destroy the nest! 】

  The giant machine gun continued to rotate and shoot, and then slowly stopped until everything was engulfed by the crimson flames.

"Walk!"

  Almost all the bugs were wiped out, and after a short preparation, everyone immediately moved forward under the command of the captain.

Going forward, the corridor gradually loses traces of human beings... There is a rift in front of it, and the water flowing from above the rift turns into a small waterfall and makes a noise here. There are a large number of black metal nests like beehives, and many scaled moths whose lower body has not yet hardened are still crawling out of the nests, and the water mist stirred up by the waterfall is also hatched into black mist by the poisonous water flowing out of the nests.

  The monks started sampling, and after sampling, these lairs were quickly destroyed, and the black mist was also burned by flames.

   "Is this really the center of the relics?"

The captain became more and more uneasy, because the swarms of insects had been wiped out, and the entire cave was extremely quiet except for the sound of their team. He heard the sound of gurgling water coming from a distance. There should be a small river formed by the flowing water seeping from the top of the rift valley. .

   This should be a humid and cold environment, but thermal vision told him that the environment in front of him would be getting hotter and hotter, and the small river seemed to be boiling, releasing a bright red spectrum.

   "Indeed, you see, there are many remains of combat weapons from pre-epoch civilizations here."

The nun stood up. She had been investigating the soil soaked with insect secretions and various poisonous waters on the ground just now. At this moment, she stretched out her hand without hesitation and pulled out a piece of silver-gray armor that had not decayed so far from the poisonous mud. In an almost obsessed tone, he said: "Look, the material of this alloy... can maintain perfect stability even in highly corrosive environments, but it is not fine gold-although the hardness is slightly inferior, it is a kind of An alloy comparable to pure gold in terms of stability!"

   "The material is probably Chongyuan Iron, Henggang and Mingguang Iridium...Unfortunately, there is not enough equipment to detect more accurate data."

  —Technical lunatics.

  The captain showed disgust for a moment. He knew very well that the Spiritual Tool Church is a group of madmen who don't care about their lives for the sake of technology. They were a little rational before, but now when they see the target, the opponent's actions will definitely turn extremely radical immediately.

   But at this moment, suddenly.

  The earth trembled.

  Boom! boom! boom!

  It's like some huge monster is stumbling close.

  Because of the previous Giant Golden Mushroom Fortress Turtle, everyone was not panicked, but the captain and the nun at the head even showed frightened expressions on their faces.

   "This breath is the second energy level—"

The scout in front exclaimed, but before the words fell, he suddenly saw a black shadow passing by, and the body of the scout disappeared, leaving only his stubbled legs in place, and a large amount of blood flowed from the rift. Drops in the sky.

   "Quickly rewind, go back to the tunnel!"

  The captain drew his sword to meet him, and he shouted: "Set up the alchemy cannon!"

  And a sharp hiss erupted from the shadow of the rift, and a round of giants that were darker than the shadow was moving at high speed in mid-air.

The captain's Adam's apple was rolling, and he who originally wanted to draw his sword to meet him was speechless, and he couldn't move his feet, because with the chaotic words of the special forces and the flames of the guns firing, the giant hanging in the upper part of the rift However, the giant revealed its figure.

  What kind of weird and majestic monster is that?

  The huge body over a hundred meters looks like a sharp carapace composed of steel blades, and the thousands of pairs of constantly wriggling blade feet are firmly inserted on the rugged stone wall of the rift valley, suspending its huge body in mid-air.

This is a super-giant metal centipede, the whole body is black and non-reflective, but it is not a real creature—it has two huge drill-bit forelimbs at the front of its body, and three huge turbine-like power units on its back are constantly ejecting. In the screeching hot steam, one can even faintly see a kind of pale particles being continuously released from the turbine, providing this metal behemoth with terrifying destructive power.

  The giant golden centipede's 'head' has a single scarlet eye, which is locked in front of Feiyan's soldiers, and the drill bit in its hand still has blood and flesh fragments of soldiers that were crushed before.

  It is clearly extremely hostile and has no intention of negotiating.

   "Guji...Guji..."

  The disgusting sound of mucus wriggling sounded, and the spiritual weapon nun immediately looked in the direction of the sound. It came from a hemispherical bulge in the center of the giant golden centipede's waist, where there were a lot of strange growths of flesh and blood.

  If Ian was here, he would definitely be able to tell at the first glance that these fleshy growths are very similar to the fusion of the big shaman on the head of the crocodile dragon! And it's also very similar to the hyperplastic polyps that parasites conquer when they invade the brain!

   "Is this a monster or a relic giant?!"

Before the sound sounded, the giant golden centipede had already launched its attack. It charged directly, and its thousands of bladed feet were constantly reciprocating and moving regularly, driving its huge body to charge forward at high speed. These extremely sharp feet touched it. Everything that arrived was crushed mercilessly.

   "It's a relic giant!"

And the nun who was extremely nervous and stared at the giant relic soldier in front of her with fanatical and intoxicated eyes replied loudly, her voice was trembling, and she couldn't tell whether it was fear or joy at all: "The complete giant relic soldier, and, there are' The driver's maneuvering!"

  Boom!

   At the same time as the nun answered loudly, a two-meter-long electrified flame spewed out, and the alchemy cannon was fired.

Thunderous roars reverberated in the empty cave, layer upon layer, mixed with howls of strong winds, and the explosive air waves carried broken stones and high-temperature hot water mist in all directions, and their momentum was enough to make even the largest behemoth temporarily retreat.

However, the joint blow of Feiyan's latest anti-armor cannon and deflagration warhead did not shake its target in the slightest. It only caused a slight dent in the opponent's outer armor and was covered by a layer of harmless flames. cover.

  The dark shadow is still approaching step by step.

  At the same time, Ian and his party have arrived near the River of Parasites.
