Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 297 Dark Cage Ring
The seats inside the carriage instantly detached, carrying Ruolin, Caicai, and the others out. Right at the cut in front, a terrifying, gaping maw appeared, poised to swallow everyone in the carriage whole!
In an instant, everyone felt a chill run down their spines!

"Pong!"

With a whooshing sound as I charged forward, I instantly shifted ten yards and slashed my sword hard at the beast's jaw.

The cold star chills to the bone!

Frost quickly condensed, freezing the viscous fluid between the upper and lower rows of sharp teeth of the gaping maw into ice. At the same time, the Chasing Clouds and Lightning Burst Technique was activated, increasing the speed to the extreme. With lightning speed, Ruolin, Koumei, and Caicai were grabbed by the legs and thrown back hard.

The next moment, Fatty, Bingzi, Story and the others crashed heavily into the giant beast's sharp teeth, and were so frightened that they hurriedly scrambled back!

With a loud crash, everyone fell heavily to the ground along with the broken carriage, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"What the hell is that?!"

Cai Cai was so frightened that she turned pale, and everyone rolled around in the carriage.

"Get out of here and prepare for battle!"

I sliced ​​open the window with my sword and rushed out first. Turning around, I saw the giant beast, about twenty meters tall, with most of its body hidden under the sand and dust. It was like a giant dung beetle with extremely sharp forelimbs and sickle-like blades, looking like it was invulnerable to swords and spears.

At this moment, the green train that the players in Huaining City were riding was cut into three pieces. Many players were staggering out, especially the psionic players, who suffered considerable damage from the impact. Many of them had minor injury marks above their heads.

As the frost dissipated, the behemoth turned around, revealing its name and attributes above its head—

[Blood Beast] (Pink BOSS)

Rating: 70
Attack: 12000-13500
Defense: 6000
Qi and blood: 30000000
Skills: [Strength Enhancement Lv.10], [Health Enhancement Lv.10], [Swarm Will Lv.10]

Details: Blood Beast, a powerful Tier 6 Zerg unit, evolved from the Lord Zerg. It has a massive body and is a rare super warrior in the Zerg swarm. The Blood Beast's scythe is extremely sharp and can cut through gold and jade. Be careful when you encounter it!

……

"careful!"

Not far away, Gunshot Dragon shouted, "There's something in the sand! It's a Spirit Blast Bug!"

"not good!"

I quickly waved my hand: "Retreat!"

Cai Cai, Ruo Lin, and the others hurriedly retreated. Immediately, right where we had just stood, a blue figure emerged from the sand, its body curled up into a gear shape, squeaking loudly. It was none other than the fearsome Spirit Burst Insect!

At this stage, if a player gets hit by a single burst of damage, they're almost guaranteed to die!

"There's no time to kill it. Someone use invincibility to make it self-destruct!" I gave the order immediately.

"Boss, I'll do it!"

Without hesitation, he grabbed his dagger and charged forward in a blur. The next second, with a loud "bang," he collided head-on with the Spirit Blast Bug, but the Spirit Blast Bug self-destructed, while he remained completely unharmed under a golden halo.

"The blood beast is coming! Get ready to face the BOSS!"

My gaze turned cold, and I gently vibrated the power sword in my right hand. I shouted, "Alliance Leader Dragon, the Blood Beast's attributes are too strong. Come and reinforce us after you've finished dealing with your own matters!"

"understand!"

"Shot Like a Dragon" responded loudly from afar, but he was clearly not doing well either. In the area where the Crimson Cloud Alliance players were, the explosions of Spirit Burst Insects were coming one after another, and many players must have been killed.

"hiss--"

With a long roar, the blood beast's limbs became extremely agile, and its massive body rammed into the enemy like a small tank. Its huge scythe swung and swept across the enemy!

Power sword parry!
The next second, the destructive force field of the fire collided with the scythe. Although it cut into the hard shell nearly half a meter deep, the opponent's size was too large and the scythe was also quite big, so it could not cut through at all. Instead, it was instantly smashed away!

"37612!"

My body rolled in the sand, and the moment I looked up, I saw the blood beast spit out a stream of green slime!
"Ding Han, watch out!"

Amid Ruolin's warning, I switched to the Glory Barrier in my left hand. The moment I activated the power shield with my elemental power, I suddenly ducked down and hid my entire body behind the shield.

“Zizzizi~~~”

Green slime splattered onto the power shield's defensive field, triggering a series of intense, exploding sparks. Clearly, the slime was some kind of highly corrosive substance. Fortunately, it was a power shield; otherwise, an ordinary shield would likely have been destroyed.

"Roar!"

The blood beast was filled with murderous intent. Seeing that its best techniques had failed to kill its target, it was enraged and charged at me again.

"Focus fire, don't hesitate!"

I immediately raised my hand and unleashed a Heavenly Creation on the BOSS. Then, I unleashed a combination of War Cry, Annihilation Armor, Stardust Wall, and Unstoppable Force. Just as the BOSS used its old trick to sweep with its scythe, my feet sank into the sand and dust, and I directly blocked it with the Glory Barrier!

"When~~~"

The sharp scythe cut into the surface of the shield, and a "sizzling" sound immediately followed. The deep golden destructive force field on the surface of the Glory Barrier roared, and it was actually annihilating the keratinous components of the scythe!
The blood beast roared in pain and hurriedly withdrew its injured scythe. At the same time, its other forelimb suddenly came down from the sky to strike!
"when!"

The Barrier of Glory stood tall overhead, steadily blocking the opponent's scythe. Instead, the barbs and hairs on the scythe were continuously annihilated and disappeared by the force field, emitting a strong smell of burning.

Blood Beast suffered another loss at the hands of the Glory Barrier and hastily withdrew its scythe.

Now is the time to counterattack!
With a wave of his hand, he used the Dragon Binding Rope to trap the BOSS in place. Then, he used a combo of normal attacks, combo attacks, normal attacks, Ash Sweep, and normal attacks to stack up the damage. After that, he used a whirlwind attack, which consumed a lot of Yuan Power and also consumed a lot of the pink BOSS's health!
Cai Cai, Ruo Lin, Fatty, and the others spread out and fired at the not-so-large head of the blood beast from all directions. Unfortunately, the BOSS's armor was too high, and the damage they dealt was not very good. It seemed that all the damage in the end fell on my power sword.

"Use psionic energy!"

Kou Mei decisively put away her firearms, her eyes filled with starlight, her body surging with spiritual energy. The next second, she raised her hand and unleashed a Starfire Burning spell, instantly igniting a wisp of blazing red flame from the blood beast's body. At the same time, she waved her Spirit Staff and activated an AOE skill—Starlight Arrow Rain!
“Swish, brush, brush~~~”

A barrage of deep blue arrows, condensed from spiritual energy, rained down from the sky. The blood beast's hard shell couldn't withstand the spiritual energy attack; the arrows pierced through the shell and directly attacked its flesh, displaying impressive damage numbers!

Without hesitation, Faye Chaochen quickly activated his Star Speaker skill, dealing damage comparable to that of Koumi!
As a result, under the attack of the two Star Speakers in the squad, the Blood Beast's health bar dropped much faster.

This clearly demonstrates the rise of the psionic system!
"Ding Han!"

Just then, Spear Dragon led his men in, shouting, "We're here! Let's fight together!"

Everyone opened fire, and the psionic players, led by Xu Tian, ​​also launched psionic attacks, dealing a lot of damage in a satisfying way.

"Leader Dragon, tell everyone to be careful, this BOSS can spray acid."

"It will spray?"

In the blink of an eye, as the spear shot out like a dragon, a wisp of green liquid brushed past him and landed directly on a level 56 firearm of the Crimson Sky Alliance. Instantly, the firearm's heavy armor was melted, and with a scream, he was knocked out of the Resurrection Scripture.

"Wogan oranges!"

The Chaos Demon King turned deathly pale with fright: "Instant kill..."

"Melee fighters, get closer! Don't let Ding Han take the damage alone!"

With a low shout, Shen Jin led a group of super warriors from Jinyu towards the BOSS.

But in the next second, the blood beast seemed to be stimulated, its forelimbs flailing wildly, and two sharp scythes slashed at the shields of the players in the front row!
"pat..."

One of the shield-wielding superweapons had its shield instantly split in two, and blood gushed from its arm and chest, causing it excruciating pain.

"Damn it, those claws are too sharp!"

Several players in the front row complained bitterly and retreated frantically.

"Don't go in for close combat!"

Gun Chu Rulong's gaze was solemn: "The Glory Barrier in Ding Han's hand is a power shield. Its force field can withstand the BOSS's sharp attacks. Ordinary shields won't work. Don't go and get yourself killed. Use guns and psionic energy to attack from a distance. Let Ding Han take the damage alone. He'll definitely be fine."

Loud explosions echoed from the Glory Barrier, and my health bar kept dropping. Although the Glory Barrier could indeed block most of the damage, the pink BOSS's physical strength was undeniable. Even without breaking through its defenses, the powerful physical impact was enough to cause a lot of damage.

Although the Blood Beast's attacks are fast and fierce, its attack speed is slow, and there is a 2-3 second "attack recovery" time after each round of attacks. This is my opportunity to follow up with a wave of swift and powerful attacks, which can instantly recover the health lost from the physical impact.

Just like the saying goes, with the Glory Barrier, a super-powered shield, you can easily kill bosses like the Blood Beast that rely on pure physical attacks. As long as you don't make any mistakes with the shield blocking, there shouldn't be any problems.

……

Six minutes later.

With a mournful cry, the BOSS's health bar was finally depleted, and its body crashed to the ground, finally defeated!
[Congratulations! You have defeated the Blood Beast (pink BOSS) and obtained the item: BOSS Ability Crystal x1!]

[Battle Notification: You have defeated the Blood Beast (pink BOSS), gaining 10200000 character experience points. The Yuanli Furnace extracted 5010000 experience points!]

I've got a superpower crystal with extremely high value. Enough said, let's open the treasure chest first!

The next second, a pleasant ringtone sounded in my ear—

Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the item: [Dark Cage Ring] (Quality: Pink)!

……

The pink ring has finally arrived!
My heart leaped with joy. The name "Dark Cage Ring" was pretty cool. I just wondered if its attributes would be any more impressive.

Open the storage space and directly read the equipment data.

【Dark Cage Ring】(Quality: Pink)
Rank: Fifth Tier

Strength: +60
Agility: +58
Spirit: +56
Blessing: Critical Hit Chance +10%
Blessing: Lifesteal +10%
Specialty: Attack damage +17%
Blessing: Divine Power-III, increases attack power by 900 points.
Burst Skill: [Dark Cage] - Uses elemental energy to draw upon the mysterious spiritual power within the ring, summoning a 20x20 area cage to imprison all hostile targets within. Consumes 40 elemental energy points, lasts 5 seconds, and has a 30-minute cooldown.
Biography: The Dark Cage Ring, created by a master of dark psychic powers, seals within it an extremely mysterious force.

……

This pink ring's attributes are simple and straightforward: critical hit, life steal, increased damage, and divine power. There are no fancy features, but each attribute is a trump card for melee players!
As for the Dark Cage burst skill, its effect overlaps with that of Star Vine.

But there's nothing to complain about. After all, who would complain about having too many control skills? And having an extra big control skill can increase the margin for error in battle. Although the consumption of energy is quite terrifying, such skills are obviously always better.

It directly replaced the blue gargoyle ring, which made people a little reluctant to part with it. Although the gargoyle ring's 3% attack petrification effect was not very common, it had been very useful when fighting the Thorn Mother of the Demon Race.

Let's just give it to Zhang Ruolin.

After considering all the options, Zhang Ruolin bought the Gargoyle Ring for 30 coins, thus achieving the "all-cyan equipment" achievement.

……

"What do we do now?"

Xu Tian glanced at the vast desert and said, "There's no village or shop in sight. Even an off-road motorcycle might not be able to travel for long in this desert terrain. Tell me, what should we do?"

With a calm gaze, Qiang Churu said, "Go ahead and call for reinforcements. The Crimson Dragon Kingdom will definitely not abandon this fighting force of ours."

Just then, my phone rang; it was Su Wei calling.

"Hey, Su Wei!"

"Ding Han, I heard that the train you were on was attacked by a swarm of insects. How is the situation?"

"Fortunately, the loss is not significant."

I frowned. "But we're stuck in the desert now and need a vehicle to get to the Insect Abyss."

"Understood. How many of you are left?"

"Around one hundred years old."

"understood."

Su Wei said, "I will have someone lock your cell phone signal coordinates and dispatch four heavy military transport helicopters to pick you up and take you to the battlefield. You continue to move forward and do not stay in one place. The swarm's pheromone sacs are quite advanced, and they may be able to locate you and attack you by the scent of their comrades' corpses."

"clear."

After hanging up the phone, he discussed the matter with Gun Out Like Dragon, and then the group began to walk towards the location of the Insect Abyss.

……

It was around 3 p.m. in the afternoon.

Accompanied by the roar of propellers, four military transport planes rose from behind the desert and came into view.

"finally come!"

The fat man wiped the sweat from his face: "Seriously, it almost killed me with exhaustion."

“You’re so fat, this kind of hiking is good for you,” I said.

“That’s true…” he nodded awkwardly.

At this moment, several helicopters chose to land on a smooth surface. One of the majors jumped out of the helicopter and asked, "Which one of you is Ding Han?"

"I'm!"

I stepped forward, carrying my power sword.

"Commander Suwei has ordered us to take you to the front lines. Let's get going. There are four transport planes in total. Divide your people into four groups."

"it is good."

Everyone boarded the plane on their own, while I, carrying a bomb gun, sat with Ruolin on either side of me in the shooting positions by the window.

The helicopter took off and headed north, giving people a sense of reassurance.

However, with a major battle imminent, this sense of security was fleeting and very short-lived.

……

About ten minutes later.

"Five kilometers from the Insect Abyss, we are about to descend," came the crew's report.

Holding the bomb gun, I aimed at the ground and could already see insects everywhere in the nearby desert.

"Wait, what's that?"

Pointing to the right, he said, "It looks like it's moving..."

"A cloud."

Aki said, "Don't be nervous."

"No, it's not a cloud!"

I glanced through the scope of my bomb gun and shouted, "It's not clouds, it's a swarm of insects! Descend at top speed immediately, quick!"

"What!?"

The crew members were startled and quickly steered the aircraft to descend.

But it was too late. The "cloud" arrived very quickly, and the buzzing of the insects flapping their wings could be heard. The next moment, the helicopter's rotor and outer shell made a series of loud clanging and banging sounds.
"It's a fire beetle, a third-tier swarm unit."

Ruolin's gaze turned icy: "Change to explosives, fire!"

Fire Beetle, a Tier 3 Zerg unit, is bloodthirsty and can fly.

The fire beetles outside are swarming, charging at the machine group with their own flesh and blood!
Inside the cabin, a group of players opened fire, but it was too late. The aircraft was swaying and heavily damaged, and it lost its balance in the blink of an eye!
"Pong!"

Our helicopter crashed heavily into the desert, its rotors wildly sweeping up sand and gravel, and it lost power in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, the height when the insect swarm attacked was not very high, otherwise the fall alone would have caused significant damage to many players, at the very least, they would have had to use up their invincible burst skill cooldown!

"Cover the crew, engage in combat!"

I quickly grabbed my bomb gun and rushed out, switched to the bomb magazine, and started firing at the fire beetles in the air. This kind of AOE shooting is the most satisfying. The dense damage numbers filled the sky, and the swarm's health bars dropped rapidly, which was quite enjoyable.

"Ya ya ya ya~~~"

Cai Cai and Fatty, their faces flushed, burst out of the sand and began firing wildly into the air.

The other players did the same, going all out to quickly disperse the fire beetles.

In the air, the burning corpses of fire beetles fell as if a great fire had just taken place.

"This swarm storm..." The major officer sent by Su Wei had a grim face: "It's only a few kilometers from the Insect Abyss. You should be able to get there on your own. Our group is only responsible for escorting you. We're not equipped with heavy weapons, so we won't be going with you."

"Ah."

He's Su Wei's man, so of course I have to take extra care of him: "The swarm storm of fire beetles has just been wiped out, so the nearby swarms must be quite alert. You must be extra careful when you retreat."

"clear."

Just as a group of crew members were about to leave, a rustling sound came from below the desert.

"careful!"

With a swift, dragon-like motion, he held his power rifle horizontally: "Back off! There's something below the desert!"

Everyone retreated, and the sand where they had stood cracked open, and in the blink of an eye, large black insects emerged from the ground.

Giant Pincer Bug, Tier 4 Zerg, Level 70 Orange Boss!

"Dry!"

With a flick of his hand, he shouted, "Prepare for battle!"

But it seemed that was not all. A low hissing sound came from afar. When we looked over, there was nothing on the desert, but two plumes of sand rose up.

"What the heck?" Yao Yao asked, her face showing a hint of nervousness.

"Invisible units?" said the indifferent voice.

"Just type it out and you'll know!"

I immediately raised my Conqueror automatic rifle, aimed at the sandstorm 300 meters away, gave it enough lead, and unleashed a burst of intense fire. Instantly, two figures appeared out of thin air after being hit by bullets. They looked exactly alike, moved nimbly, and each possessed a very sharp scythe!

"It's Kaleban."

I said calmly, "I saw it once when the East Lake Insect Nest broke out. It seems that the leaders of this group of giant pincers are these two Kaleban!"

"Humph!"

The spear flashed like a dragon, and he sneered.

The players were chatting and laughing, while the crew members were ashen-faced.

Even the battle-hardened major drew his pistol, his face grave, as if facing a life-or-death battle.

And indeed, that was the case. The appearance of Insect Abyss No. 01 had a significant impact on the Red Dragon Kingdom's military. A fully-equipped division of 10,000 men was almost completely wiped out in just a few hours. This news spread like wildfire. For these soldiers, coming to Insect Abyss No. 01 was a mission with a slim chance of survival.

Moreover, these soldiers had probably only read about giant pincers and californs in the Zerg expansion packs, and this was the first time they had ever seen them. The shock they felt when they saw the real, ferocious insects appear before their eyes was unimaginable.

Today, we players are about to teach these professional soldiers a lesson.

"Fire!"

With a single command, the players formed a firing formation, continuously suppressing the giant pincers that were about to charge forward. Even if a giant pincer broke through the fire net, melee players used skills such as Burst Charge and Rising Dragon Slash to restrain it, so overall there were no major problems.

"Kareban is here!"

Gunshot Like a Dragon said in a deep voice, "Ding Han, here's one for you!"

"OK, I'll take both of them!"

"That's fucking greedy!"

The next second, just as Caliban leaped high into the air and slashed at the fat man with his scythe, I suddenly unleashed a burst of energy, knocking the fat man aside and raising the Barrier of Glory!

"Clang~~~"

Amidst the flying sparks, Caliban's sharp claws trailed streaks of fire across the shield's surface, but they were utterly unable to penetrate the defensive force field of the Glory Barrier. On the contrary, the spikes of the scythe were quickly annihilated, demonstrating the terrifying disintegration force field of the power shield!
"hiss--"

The calf's beady green eyes suddenly widened in fright, and it hurriedly withdrew its sickle claws.

But I wasn't about to give it a chance. The moment Kaliban withdrew his scythe, my shield followed the wounded scythe and crushed into the left side of his body with a powerful shield bash.

Kaliban let out a sound, its 20-centimeter-long tongue sticking out of its mouth, while I spun around and slashed heavily at its other scythe claw with my sword!
"Crack!"

The sword light fell straight down, severing the sickle claw in the middle, the cut surface burning red-hot by the disintegration force field!

Thus, in just one round, both of Caliban's scythe claws were rendered useless, and he lost half of his fighting power.

"Leave it to you!"

I voluntarily relinquished the cyan BOSS to Ruolin, Caicai, and the others, while I rushed towards a group of giant pincers. Amidst the chaotic sword light, the giant pincers quickly "kowtowed" with their heads touching the ground in the desert.

Koumi and Faye Chaochen raised their spirit staffs and used their Star Speaker skills to kill the enemy.

Aki roared angrily, grabbed Kareban's tail, activated the Holy Blood Boiling skill, and began hand-to-hand combat with the powerful Kareban!
The story is told in a mysterious and unpredictable manner, keeping the boss's position behind it and relentlessly attacking from behind.

Huo Bingzhi rushed forward, leading two chaotic creatures, and single-handedly took on a group of giant pincers!
Cai Cai and Fatty, the two gunners, went all out, their faces contorted with rage as they fired wildly!

So, the crew members, weak and helpless, each holding a submachine gun or pistol, stared dumbfounded at the scene before them. Only then did they truly realize that in front of ordinary people, these players were all superhumans!
……

Soon after, Kaleban fell to the ground, and each of them received a blue treasure chest. However, the swarm of insects was so dense that there was no time to open the chests, and everyone quickly threw themselves into the next battle.

Besides the giant pincers, a large number of scorpions, explosive insects, and hydralisks appeared in the desert, which is enough to prove that the insect abyss a few kilometers away is indeed a complete insect swarm ecosystem.

And so, as they played, night fell.

Our group was blocked outside the Insect Abyss by a large swarm of insects, unable to make an inch of progress!

But it doesn't matter. We came here to gain experience anyway, so being surrounded by the swarm is a good thing.

And so it went until around 10 p.m., when everyone was exhausted, the swarm of insects in the vicinity was finally wiped out, and the corpses of the insects in front piled up like mountains, with an extremely foul smell enveloping the surrounding area.

"Ding Han".

The major officer from the crew stepped forward and said, "We should retreat. The combat team that will be there to pick us up is already a few kilometers behind us."

"Go ahead, and be careful in everything you do."

"Yes, you too!"

He and his crew gave us a standard Red Dragon Army salute before turning and leaving.

"That young lady..."

Aki looked at one of the pretty young women in the crew, hesitated, and said, "What a pity... big breasts, long legs, cute face, just my favorite type..."

"Ahem, what's it to you?" Cai Cai teased.

"How can you say it has nothing to do with me?"

Aki declared confidently, "If she became my girlfriend, do you know how wonderful it would be to hug and sleep with someone with a body like that? My arms would be full of her. At that time, I would be the happiest man in the entire Star Abyss."

"Tsk tsk!"

I said, "Actually, it's no problem. I know the officer in charge of this crew. I'll have her look up that young lady's information and send me her WeChat ID, then I'll send it to you. How about that?"

"That's unnecessary..."

Aki immediately backed down: "What if she doesn't like me? That would be so embarrassing. Although she secretly glanced at me a lot just now, she probably thinks I'm a muscular man..."

"Pah, you piece of trash!"

We all spat at him in unison, which moistened the dry desert.

There are too many scoundrels like Aki in real life. They are giants in words but dwarfs in deeds. They talk a lot of nonsense, but they back down as soon as it comes to getting serious. They are unlikely to amount to anything!

……

"Let's open the box and then move on."

"Everyone should take a short rest and eat something to replenish their strength," said Spear Like a Dragon.

Everyone nodded.

I turned around and focused on opening the chests. The first one was the cyan chest that Kareban had dropped. With a flash of light, a cyan ring appeared before my eyes!
It's the ring spot again! My luck is really good today!

【Ring of Caliban】(Quality: Cyan)
Rank: Fifth Tier

Strength: +50
Physical strength: +48
Agility: +45
Blessing: Critical Hit Chance +7%
Blessing: Lifesteal +5%
Specialty: Attack damage +9%
Blessing: Rock-II, increases defense by 400 points.
Burst Skill: [Sharp Assault], after activation, increases own melee attack power by 10% and armor penetration effect by 20%, lasting for 12 seconds, consumes 30 energy points, cooldown time is 5 minutes.
Biography: The Ring of Kareban, a ring refined from the life essence of Kareban, contains a sharp and fierce aura.

……

As for this cyan ring, its attributes... are rather complicated.

It has all three major attributes: critical hit, life steal, and increased damage, but none of them are maxed out. In addition, there is a low-level burst skill called Sharp Strike, which enhances combat power and may have some surprising effects in certain situations.

Overall, it's alright, and it's still somewhat useful for players at this stage.

However, in the team, only Ruolin, Aki, and I are melee fighters. Aki's equipment is quite good, so he doesn't need my support. Therefore, let's sell this ring.

I'm really short of money right now. The thought of owing Cheng Shuang's company 1200 million RMB for renovations makes me anxious.

……

Eat to replenish your energy.

At night, the wind was strong in the desert, and there was sand everywhere, so there was no need to bring out dishes like pickled fish and big plate chicken. Instead, we took out a few hamburgers and quickly finished them off in a sheltered spot.

Afterwards, I sat cross-legged in the desert and rested for a while.

When she checked the time again, it was already 11:30, which was Lin Qingying's standard bedtime.

Send her a message to put her mind at ease.

"I'm fine. I just finished a battle. Don't worry."

"Ok!"

She replied almost instantly: "Then I'm going to sleep. You must be careful."

"Don't worry, go to sleep."

After hastily ending the call, I slowly stood up, dusting off the sand and dust on my body. Not far away, Gun Out Like a Dragon raised his power gun: "Brothers, let's head to the Insect Abyss!"

He pulled out his explosive gun, entered combat mode, and led Ruolin, Cai Cai, and the others across the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood of the Zerg, heading straight for the Zerg Abyss.

……

Not far ahead, several lights appeared amidst the sandstorm whipped up by the raging wind.

"who?"

We immediately went on alert.

"One of our own!"

From within the sandstorm emerged a power armored warrior, carrying a power sword, who said, "We are the Flame Wolf Task Force of the 99th Division of the Crimson Dragon Legion, ordered to eliminate the insects at the exit of the Insect Abyss. Who are you?"

"We are players from Huaining City."

"It turns out to be you!"

The power armored warrior looked excited: "Finally, we've met you all! In that case, would you please assist us with our mission?"

"it is good!"

The spear flashed like a dragon, and he immediately nodded.

The remaining 80+ players then joined the Flame Wolf Task Force.

Compared to them, the enemy forces were much stronger, with ten sets of third-generation power armor alone, and the rest of the troops were all equipped with high-quality second-generation power armor. Compared to them, the players looked like a bunch of peasants.

The crowd moved forward.

The closer they got to the insect swarm, the more insects there were, but the Flame Wolf Task Force's heavy firepower was quite ferocious. Hundreds of second-generation armored warriors, carrying Gatling guns that spewed blue flames, unleashed a barrage of fire, giving the insect swarm no chance to get close.

Around 1 a.m.

The group reached the edge of the Insect Abyss, where a bottomless abyss lay before them. In the distance, against the night sky, a gigantic insectoid tentacle could be vaguely seen standing at the center of the abyss. The feeling...

A pillar supporting the sky!
"Are those the tentacles of the Great Devourer?"

Zhang Ruolin's lips were slightly agape as she gazed into the distance with a look of amazement.

The universe is so vast that there are too many things we cannot comprehend.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of the Great Devourer; its true size is unimaginable, perhaps comparable to some asteroids?

……

"Warning! A massive swarm of insects is attacking!"

A third-generation armored warrior at the front shouted through a megaphone: "Defensive formation, prepare to fire!"

Everyone retreated, and I took out my pink bomb gun.

The next moment, the sound of a storm came from ahead, and immediately a swarm of fire beetles rushed out of the insect abyss, covering the sky and the earth. Some second-generation armored soldiers in the front row sprayed flamethrowers into the air, and the Gatling guns also started to glow blue again, and a new fierce battle immediately began.

"Watch out for ground targets, they're blade bugs!"

"Flare, quick!"

Flares continued to explode in the air, and the ground in front was covered with insects, all of them fourth-tier blade insects with high attack power. Any player who was overwhelmed by a swarm of blade insects would almost certainly die.

"beat!"

The players' counterattack was equally fierce, with countless gun barrels sweeping forward. Instantly, the screech of the blade insects, the sound of bullets piercing the armor, and the roars of the players intertwined into a cacophony.

Under the illumination of the flares, the sight of green blood splattering everywhere was extremely shocking!
"Not good..."

On the minimap, a small pink dot is growing bigger and bigger, about to burst out of the insect abyss!

"Watch out, the pink boss is coming!"

With a shout of "Shot Like a Dragon," a figure with pink characters on its head suddenly burst out of the insect abyss and onto the surface, trailing tails behind it like an alien. It let out a shriek and instantly pounced on a third-generation armored warrior in front of it!

With a flurry of claws, sparks flew as they sliced ​​through the power armor in the blink of an eye, dismembering the warrior!
In the bloody scene, a powerful warrior of the Crimson Dragon Kingdom was gone.

"Damn, it's a pink claw beetle!"

His usually detached gaze turned serious: "Everyone, be careful!"

"His-"

With a sharp screech, the giant beetle, despite its imposing size, moved with incredible agility, instantly sweeping through the crowd in front of it. Its claws slashed wildly, cutting through the bodies of several power armor soldiers as it swept through the crowd. Cries of agony filled the air, a truly gruesome scene!
The disparity in strength is too great. The power of a high-level Zerg unit like the Claw Bug is even more terrifying than the power provided by the third-generation armor!
Moreover, the claws of the razor beetle are incredibly sharp, and the ceramic steel used to make the third-generation armor could only withstand the attack for a moment before being torn apart!
More importantly, although the Flame Wolf Task Force was equipped with ten power armors and power swords, it lacked power shields. Moreover, while these human genetic warriors possessed superb combat skills, they were too slow to cope with the agile Claw Bugs!
"Sigh~~"

With a piercing hiss, the Claw Bug suddenly broke through the crowd, its claws pointing forward and piercing the abdomen of a third-generation armored warrior with a "thud." It then pounced on the warrior, pinning him to the ground. One claw held down the warrior's arm holding the power sword, while the other claws swung menacingly in the wind, about to tear him to shreds!

"Shh!"

Just as the claws were about to pounce down, the fire transformed into a deep red light that swept across, instantly severing multiple claw spikes with a series of sharp cracks!
Just as the Claw Bug, with a ferocious expression, swung its left claw at me, I suddenly raised the Barrier of Glory!

“Zizzizi~~~”

Several sharp claws dragged sparks across the shield of the Glory Barrier, and the structure of the claws continued to disintegrate under the action of the disintegrating force field. No matter how sharp the claw spikes were, they could not break through!
Master Ip delivers a powerful kick!
I suddenly bent over, and with both feet off the ground, I kicked the clawed worm hard in the abdomen!

"Boom~"

With a long hiss, the razor beetle tumbled through the yellow sand, its body spinning like a top, using the sandstorm as cover to try and escape!
Dragon-Binding Rope!
Don't leave!
