Chapter Ninety-Four: The Maggot's Lair (Encountering the Enemy)

Xue Hua regrets it now... Because he just accidentally stepped on a sandworm egg......

Is there a mistake with wood?

Doesn't this thing still have health in the game?

Why did you step on it with one kick?

Xue Hua clearly remembered that in the game, these eggs laid by sandworms that looked like some kind of pus growing on the ground had a blood volume, and the blood volume was quite thick, and the melee characters with poor weapons sometimes couldn't cut these eggs at once.

But why are these eggs so fragile here?

Actually stepped on it with one kick?

And he just stepped on an egg, so why did the sandworms in the entire passage stare at him with red eyes?

The Nima jumping worms are coming to you!

Xue Hua was stared at by hundreds of sandworms whose eyes suddenly turned blood-red, staring at the hairs in his heart.

However, the things that made his scalp explode were still to come.

The sandworms stared at him for a while, but they didn't become berserk, and they didn't mutate, but they suddenly increased their movement speed and crawled up all over the tunnel.

And while they are crawling, the ovipositor at the tail is still "poofing" to lay eggs.

The eggs they laid soon filled the entire corridor, and they still looked like they couldn't stop at all, with no intention of stopping for a minute.

The hoppers don't care what they're doing, they just want to rush up, pounce on their enemies, and tear them apart.

As a result, the jumping insects rushed over the eggs of the sandworms almost all the way.

And just when Xue Hua guessed what these sandworms wanted to do, the sandworms suddenly stopped laying eggs, and then the hedgehogs gathered together and opened the pair of bluffing pincers on their heads towards the jumping insects, looking ready to resist to the death.

At the same time, Isha tells Xue Hua that it has just detected a large number of special sound signals coming from the sandworm gathering point.

These sound signals appear to have the effect of allowing the larvae in the eggs to hatch in advance.

Let the larvae hatch in advance?

As soon as Xue Hua heard this, his brain suddenly went numb.

He looked at the dense piles of sandworm eggs that covered the entire corridor in front of him, and instantly felt that his head was three times bigger.

And at the same time as he noticed these eggs, these eggs began to beat extremely violently.

"It's going to hatch!"

This thought had just risen from Xue Hua's mind, and a slight sound of flesh tearing came from above the corridor.

Before he had time to look up, he found that in the corridor ahead, a large number of sandworm larvae crawled out of the eggs everywhere like "spring shoots" after the rain, these guys were nearly a meter long as soon as they hatched, and their mouths were also a pair of large pincers.

Except for the slight difference in size, they are identical to the adults of the sandworms.

And most importantly, each of these sandworm eggs can hatch at least two and up to four larvae......

This meant that there were suddenly thousands of more sandworm larvae in the passage in front of them.

This amount would normally be a charge for a swarm.

But here's the problem...... It's not normal now!!

The narrow insect passage is too restrictive, and the larvae of the sandworms on the opposite side are only one meter long, but they are arthropods, and the overall body shape is a bit like a worm, which is a flat kind of worm, so they can pile up a slow-moving "worm wall" layer by layer, and this "worm wall" will also spit venom......

No matter how fierce the jumping insects are, they can't stumble thousands of stacked sand worm larvae with a dozen or so of them!

So there was no way, Xue Hua could only retreat back with the jumping worms, and hurriedly find the adjutant in the mind of the main nest to find a way.

The narrow terrain is too restrictive, and the inability to widen the terrain is even more of a headache, many units of the Zerg can easily solve the dilemma that Xue Hua is currently facing, but those units are basically too large to enter at all.

Of course, the poisonous explosion insects are coming in......

But Xue Hua was afraid that if he blew it up with a poisonous explosion worm, he would directly blow up the worm path in the mezzanine of the ghost space that he didn't know it was in, and if he was giving him some kind of time and space crusoe, it would be hehe.

After discussing with Isha for a long time, Isha finally came up with a good solution, who has a lot of experience in warfare.

The solution is the infected.

But if it is said that it is infected, it is not the infected person, because the infected person is also too big to enter this worm tunnel.

The method that Isha is talking about is actually a "mutant" that is ready to use the time-limited life that the infected hatches.

These mutants were all dressed as human marines, and to be honest, even Xue Hua was puzzled by their equipment.

Obviously, since he came to this world, he hasn't encountered any human marines from the Tylen Empire, why do the mutants hatched by the infected still look like this?

However, it didn't matter at all, Xue Hua only needed to know that these mutants could use the C-14 assault rifle they were equipped with to provide long-range fire cover for the hoppers using the C-14 assault rifle they were equipped with, which no longer knew how it worked.

And this is Isha's plan.

The reason why the jumping worms are now suppressed by the larvae of the sandworm is entirely due to the lack of long-range fire cover.

The venom sprayed from the mouths of those sandworm larvae, although it has little effect on the Zerg units, if there are too many of them, they still can't bear it.

However, if a ranged attacker comes to distract some of the sandworm larvae for the hoppers, then the hoppers can seize the opportunity and rush directly in front of the "worm wall".

And once in melee range, it's very easy for the hoppers to take out the sand worm larvae.

Even if the number is at an absolute disadvantage, don't forget, Xue Hua is not a dry eater, and the damage deepens the curse, the corpse explodes, etc., it is also a skill that can cause great damage.

And the most important thing is that Xue Hua can also resurrect those jumping insects that died in battle at any time.

It's just that due to the narrow terrain nearby, he can't summon the Zerg ghost energy class to replenish his mana, and he has long since lost the habit of carrying potions with him, so it's better to save this bit of "blue" on his body......

As soon as the plan was drawn up, Isha ordered a group of infected people on standby outside the nest to throw the hatching oocysts of the mutants directly into the nest, and ordered the hatching mutants to quickly move closer to the dominant.

Xue Hua continued to retreat backwards with the jumping worms, slowly luring these larvae to move towards the entrance of the nest.

The plan was executed smoothly, and the sand worm larvae were in hot pursuit of Xue Hua, and large strands of venom kept splashing on the walls of the passage, making the entire passage filled with a disgusting sour smell.

After continuing to retreat for a distance, Xue Hua suddenly stopped, turned around and half-knelt on the ground, the jumping insects also lowered their bodies, their hind legs quietly accumulated, and they were quickly ready to charge.

At the same time, several pale green bands of light swept out from the passage behind Xue Hua and hit the swarm composed of sandworm larvae, dozens of larvae were directly killed in an instant, and a large number of sandworm larvae were knocked off the sand wall.

The entire sand wall suddenly stopped moving, and began to crumble a little.

Seeing this, Xue Hua hurriedly gave the order to attack, and the jumping insects that had been waiting for a long time kicked their hind legs, and rushed through the ranged attack range of the opponent at an extremely fast speed before they could recover their senses, and entered the melee combat area.

Xue Hua also stood up and retreated to the group of alien beings who walked beside him, brandishing his staff, and sending one damage deepening curse after another to the heads of the sandworm larvae.

With Xue Hua's help, the killing efficiency of the jumping insects has increased greatly, and the sand worm larvae were not the opponents of the jumping insects in the first place, but now they have been added with damage to deepen the curse, and suddenly began to die in large areas.

Of course, the counterattack of the sandworm larvae did not cause damage to the jumping insects, but all the jumping insects that fell to the ground would be resurrected by Xue Hua in an instant.

So in the end, there was no attrition on the jumping worm side, and the sandworm larvae died in just over ten minutes.

After the battle was over, Xue Hua didn't even have time to clean up the battlefield, so he continued to rush forward with the jumping insects.

He hadn't forgotten that the sandworms were still alive.

He didn't want to wait a step too late, and there were thousands of larvae waiting for him......

However, when he rushed to the place where he had just met the sandworms with the jumping insects, what he saw in front of him made him fall into a state of confusion all of a sudden.

What's going on?

There should be only one path here, huh?

There can't be a wrong path, right?

But here... Didn't you have this fork in the road?
