Chapter 712 The Desperate Mother Nest
Chapter 712 The Desperate Mother Nest
The mother nest that Su Mo was looking for was located on the seabed below, and she was currently being pushed in the opposite direction by the combined force of the insect swarm, faster and farther away. If they continued like this, she would soon be pushed out of the sea!
Su Mo had just shut down the airship's power, so the swarm of insects wouldn't have much effort pushing her out of the water.
The insect swarm changed too quickly, but Su Mo's reaction was not slow either.
After understanding the other party's intentions, he restarted the airship's power and began to exert force against the swarm of insects. The other party changed its combat strategy, and Su Mo could no longer conserve spiritual energy, so there was nothing he could do.
The airship, which had been propelled thousands of meters higher by the insect swarm, braked in time after the power was activated and began to press down.
Su Mo's water sphere and the cone-shaped swarm of insects below formed two opposing forces, and on this silent battlefield, only a large number of bubbles could be seen rising.
"Gurgle..."
"Gurgle, gurgle..."
Just then, the large black spheres in the space finished dealing with the mantis beasts they had sent in, and Su Mo immediately replenished the supply, pulling the batch of mantis beasts at the very front into the space.
Unfortunately, the insect swarm changed its formation, resulting in Su Mo collecting only a quarter of the mantis beasts he had collected before.
But it doesn't matter, there aren't many, so the big black ball can be dealt with even faster.
The insect swarm staggered as the vanguard suddenly disappeared. Taking advantage of this fluctuation, Su Mo immediately adjusted the direction of her flying boat, slightly deviating from the main force of the insect swarm. She planned to avoid the insect swarm and pass by them to return to the deep sea.
She did manage to take this opportunity to go a long way into the deep sea, but the insect swarm reacted quickly. The insect swarm, which was originally a whole, broke in the middle and split off to rush towards Su Mo again.
Located in this part of the insect swarm are the larger mutated insects, and the most numerous of them are giant octopuses. More than a dozen giant octopuses quickly caught Su Mo as he was walking down, and they swung their extremely long tentacles at the water sphere barrier.
The damage was minimal, but the tentacles' suckers held the water sphere barrier in place.
The swarm of insects behind the giant octopus quickly reorganized its formation based on this fulcrum.
Because the water spheres were impacting from the side of their direction of travel, Su Mo was accidentally pushed sideways.
The insect swarm is now focused solely on driving Su Mo away from the mother nest, so they don't care which way it goes, as long as it's not towards the mother nest.
The entire insect swarm united, their combined, layered forces making it difficult for Su Mo to adjust his course again.
The suction cups on the tentacles of those dozen or so giant octopuses controlled half of the water sphere. Even if Ren Sumo wanted to continue diving down, he was constantly pushed away by the swarm of insects on the side.
In the main control room of the flying boat, Su Mo glanced at the situation in the space. It was good. Because the number of them had been reduced by more than half, the large black spheres were moving faster.
Use the same trick again.
The giant octopus beasts, which firmly controlled the water sphere and prevented Su Mo from escaping, were also taken into Su Mo's space and disappeared.
At the same time, Su Mo finally escaped the swarm of insects and quickly increased the distance. He was about to determine the location of the mother nest so he could adjust his direction.
As soon as she turned the airship around, a large number of shark-like creatures appeared in front of her.
The shark beasts were originally the last part of the insect swarm, but now they have all broken away and are blocking Su Mo's route to the mother nest from bottom to top.
The shark-like creatures mutated from the Zerg are enormous, and their stats are among the best of the Zerg.
While in the sea, Su Mo was unable to use the momentum of the flying boat to ram the other side, but the other side nimbly formed a formation and blocked the advancing flying boat again.
Su Mo and the insect swarm engaged in a tug-of-war, a chase and a block, in the blue sea.
The insect swarm arranged itself flexibly and freely in the sea, which did indeed hinder Su Mo's progress for a time.
However, in this contest, with the combined depletion of time and spiritual energy, Su Mo gradually gained the upper hand.
The swarm of insects, which was originally quite large, was at an increasingly obvious disadvantage when facing Su Mo, an opponent whose defenses could not be broken by fighting and who could not be driven away by driving away.
Once their numbers are reduced to a certain level, even if they work together, they will no longer be able to stop Su Mo.
Large numbers of the Zerg at the forefront, regardless of what they were, disappeared, sent into space by Su Mo, and transformed into replenishment energy for the Reptile race.
Each time the underwater mother nest learned of the battle situation, her mood became even more somber.
It desperately wanted to breed new Zerg soldiers to replenish its ranks, but it couldn't. Even though Zerg soldiers could be rapidly spawned, it would still take several days for them to mature.
But Su Mo wouldn't give it that time.
In less than two days, Su Mo had gone from initially avoiding the insect swarm to chasing and killing it.
This entire sea area was stirred up by the deep-sea battle, causing waves to surge.
The mother nest, lying prone on the seabed, deeply felt helpless. It had already sensed that it had no way to deal with this outsider, this native.
The Zerg army that had protected it without any problems couldn't kill the opponent, or even stop it. If the mother hive weren't immobilized, it would be jumping up and down in frustration by now.
Impotent rage is clearly useless.
Seeing its Zerg soldiers dwindling at a visible rate, the Hive, having exhausted all other options, issued a desperate order: it allowed the remaining Zerg army to attack at will, as long as it could wear down the enemy!
Whether on land or underwater, the mother nests have gathered a great deal of intelligence about humans through the blue glowworms.
It knew that it was in a place where the native humans could not come and go freely, and even with the help of some equipment, the energy was limited.
Let's just wear them down. Besides wearing them down, the mother hive doesn't know what else to do.
After entering the deep sea, the enemy has been engaged in fierce battles with its Zerg soldiers. After so long, the enemy's consumption must be enormous!
The Hive now only hopes that the damned human will run out of energy before its Zerg soldiers are completely wiped out!
Whether the other party evacuates in an emergency or drowns here, it's a win for it.
It's best if they die; retreating back will buy them time to regenerate Zerg soldiers.
If given a chance, it will definitely prepare far more troops, twice as many as this time, no, even more! In short, as long as the enemy can withdraw, and given some time, it will definitely not allow the enemy to have another chance to get close to it!
After the Hive issued its latest orders, the already weakened Zerg began a desperate counterattack.
Su Mo had almost wiped out the mantis beasts, but there were still some giant octopus beasts and shark beasts left. They stopped dodging and launched a desperate attack on the water sphere where Su Mo was.
It was a mess, without any order, but nobody cared anymore.
