Chapter 465
Boom!
An explosion sound came from inside the Brood Mother.
Su Xiao walked through a corridor made of biological structures; the sensation under his feet was like stepping on rubber, and viscous fluid dripped from above from time to time.
Sensing his surroundings, the Brood Mother's structure was very complex, like a large anthill, extending in all directions; if one did not understand the terrain here, they would soon get lost.
Five minutes ago, he had been separated from Old Baal and Carlo; it would be more accurate to say they were scattered by the Zerg rather than separated.
Su Xiao pulled out a carapace limb stuck in his lower abdomen and drank a bottle of alchemical secret medicine.
"Can you determine the location?"
Su Xiao looked at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's nose twitched; the smell inside the Brood Mother made Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang sneeze, and the dog face made an expression of helplessness.
There were too many Zerg inside the Brood Mother; the number of Stinger Scorpions was at least several thousand. The danger was not the Stinger Scorpions, but a type of Zerg called the Flying Mantis.
The Flying Mantis looked similar to the Stinger Scorpion, but their bodies were thinner and longer, and they possessed a pair of fleshy wings, allowing them to fly at low altitudes.
If one encountered this type of Zerg in the Brood Mother's tunnels, it would be nothing, but it was very troublesome in open areas.
This type of Zerg's comprehensive attributes were not strong, but they could spray strong acid, and the lethality of the strong acid was extremely high; Su Xiao and the others were scattered by the Flying Mantis.
Su Xiao continued to move forward; although he had no sense of direction inside the Brood Mother, he walked in the direction where there were sounds of fighting.
Two minutes later, Su Xiao arrived at an open space.
Many insect eggs were placed in the open space; the skin of these eggs was milky white, and there were living organisms wriggling inside.
In the center of the open space, Su Xiao saw several broken vegetation branches, and there were also traces of having been burned nearby.
Old Baal and the others had fought the Zerg here before and were injured; there were red bloodstains on the ground.
Now Old Baal and the others had already left; judging from the large hole burned out on the side, Old Baal and the other had left in a great hurry.
Su Xiao needed to rendezvous with Old Baal, and the reason was simple: he did not understand the terrain here.
Drip.
The sound of water droplets came; Su Xiao's pupils constricted, and he jumped backward subconsciously.
Puchi.
Green liquid sprayed out, and an afterimage darted down from above, the large pincers at its tail piercing deeply into the ground of the Brood Mother.
This was a Stinger Scorpion, but unlike ordinary Stinger Scorpions, this one was several sizes larger, and its carapace was purplish-red.
Su Xiao felt that this Stinger Scorpion was very wrong, and he immediately used 【Eye of Hawana】 to check the opponent's data.
【Comparing both sides' intelligence attributes... Comparison complete. Our intelligence is 1.482 times that of the enemy; 100% of the enemy's data has been obtained.】
Data is as follows:
Name: Elite Stinger Scorpion
Category: Zerg
Health: 100%
Mana: 290
Strength: 42
Agility: 45
Stamina: 29
Intelligence: 11
Charisma: 1
Skill 1: Exoskeleton Lv. 7 (Passive), Health +260, Defense +9
Skill 2: Acidic Blood Lv. 5 (Passive), blood has extremely strong corrosiveness.
Skill 3: Independent Individual (Passive), a variant among Stinger Scorpions, responsible for protecting the Queen's safety, possesses a brain.
Skill 4: Tail Sting Lv. 12 (Active), the tail stabs forward with full force, causing huge wounds to the enemy while also carrying effects like broken bones and continuous bleeding.
Skill 5: Combat Instinct (Active), uses instinct to fight, the whole body is a weapon.
Without a doubt, the Elite Stinger Scorpion was very strong, and more importantly, this guy had independent thinking and would not charge blindly like other Stinger Scorpions.
The Elite Stinger Scorpion had five skills in total; in Su Xiao's view, the most troublesome one was "Combat Instinct."
The Stinger Scorpion's body structure was born for combat; after obtaining this skill, its combat power would definitely be off the charts.
Qing Gang Ying was activated to the maximum; by now, there was no need to think about saving stamina.
The Elite Stinger Scorpion pulled its tail pincers out of the ground, shook off the green liquid on them, and began to move sideways, intending to circle to Su Xiao's side; it knew how to sneak attack and understood tactics.
The Elite Stinger Scorpion's eyes, wrapped in transparent carapaces, stared at Su Xiao; there was cruelty and anger in those eyes.
Seeing this look, Su Xiao's expression became even more solemn; this thing had intelligence, and the danger level would increase exponentially.
A thought suddenly appeared in Su Xiao's mind: this thing might be the Zerg Queen's personal guard, otherwise it wouldn't be so strong; if that were true, he might be very close to the Zerg Queen.
Su Xiao did not guess wrong; the Elite Stinger Scorpion was indeed the Zerg Queen's guard; the Zerg Queen was just there, and she had fought Old Baal and the others.
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang discovered that the battle was about to begin, so it hid nimbly among the insect eggs, with its aura fully activated, having truly mastered the essence that a healer should be sneaky during battle.
Just as Su Xiao was preparing to face this Elite Stinger Scorpion, the sound of rapid running came from the side tunnel.
Looking closely, it was Old Baal and Carlo; the two looked disheveled, their whole bodies steaming, and their body temperatures were all above 190 degrees.
After seeing Su Xiao, Old Baal's face showed joy, but after noticing that Elite Stinger Scorpion, Old Baal and Carlo came to a screeching halt at the same time.
Old Baal and the other were being hunted; hunting them were ten Elite Stinger Scorpions and five Flying Mantises.
Su Xiao calmly sheathed his sword, gave a look to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang on the side, and then the man and the dog turned and ran, which could be called perfectly synchronized.
He could deal with Elite Stinger Scorpions within five, but it would be very troublesome if there were more than five.
Old Baal's mouth opened and closed, staring blankly at Su Xiao.
By the time Old Baal reacted, Su Xiao and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had already run far away.
"Ally, wait for me."
There was even a tremor in Old Baal's shout; Su Xiao ran too decisively; he had just wanted Su Xiao to help him block these Stinger Scorpions, but Old Baal thought too much; Su Xiao would not help him block.
With the threat of the Elite Stinger Scorpions behind them, Old Baal and the other also started running.
Su Xiao was in front, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was behind, Old Baal and Carlo were slightly behind, and finally, there was a continuous sound of running and hissing.
The Brood Mother became chaotic in an instant; Su Xiao threw a special alchemical bomb from time to time, but the Elite Stinger Scorpions were not afraid at all, charging forward while resisting the bombs.
Su Xiao threw another bomb, and a series of screams from Flying Mantises came from behind.
Two forks appeared in front, and Su Xiao randomly chose one and rushed in, but unexpectedly, just after rushing into the fork, three more forks appeared in front of him.
With Elite Stinger Scorpions chasing from behind, Su Xiao could only make a random choice again.
Old Baal also faced the same situation, so the three who had just reunited separated again; this time the situation was even worse, and Su Xiao and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang were separated.
Fortunately, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang could sense Su Xiao's location; as long as it didn't encounter danger, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang could find Su Xiao; in fact, even if it encountered danger, it was nothing; Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang could infiltrate the enemy's interior; it had even disguised itself as a cow, so disguising as a Stinger Scorpion was just a drizzle.
After running for a distance, Su Xiao's footsteps stopped; he arrived at a special location.
If the Brood Mother just now was a biological structure, a Zerg style, then the current scene had undergone a huge change; the surroundings were a steel-structured corridor, changing drastically from Zerg style to sci-fi style.
【Hint: The Hunter has arrived at Spacecraft No. 3; this spacecraft's 'Core Energy' can be recycled.】
The Reincarnation Paradise hint suddenly appeared; Su Xiao was stunned; the Brood Mother actually contained a spacecraft.
