Chapter 273: Scorpions Lurking Underground

More and more desert races gathered around the Naga desert main city. After organizing several large-scale attacks, they found that they could not break through the firepower net of the Zerg destroyers, so they stopped attacking.

The Naga army fighting with the Zerg destroyers did feel unprecedented ease, just like watching a battle.

With the firepower blockade of the Zerg destroyers, no matter how fierce the enemy was, they could not rush to them, and of course it had no effect on them.

The desert races stopped attacking, and the Zerg destroyers rested and recovered on the spot. If they continued to consume like this, the Zerg destroyers could consume until the end of time.

It was late at night, and the Naga troops stationed on the city wall changed two shifts, but the desert races still did not attack.

The "woooo" wind blew the yellow sand, and the sky and the earth were covered with yellow mist, making it difficult to see what was beyond one's reach.

Only around the wall of the Naga desert main city, there was a circle of area protected by magic energy, which was not affected by the yellow sand.

A large number of Zerg hosts floated over the main city of the Naga desert, unaffected by the wind and sand, silently monitoring the yellow sand outside the city and the movements in the night.

In the desert that had been normal for a long time, the Zerg hosts suddenly discovered the movement under the yellow sand.

"Elder, something is coming from the underground of the desert outside the city!"

Host No. 3 immediately told Naga about this situation.

"Boom boom boom...!"

A small number of five-star Zerg destroyers immediately opened fire and attacked the position locked by the Zerg hosts.

Without Naga's orders, the Zerg destroyers' artillery fire had already alarmed the Naga army stationed on the city wall.

"Let the mages continue to reinforce the ground! The defense forces should strengthen their vigilance to guard against underground raids!"

Naga 妶 issued combat orders.

She is now one of the highest commanders here and has the right to directly issue combat orders.

"Boom boom...!"

The attack of the five-star Zerg destroyers fell on the yellow sand all over the ground, blasting some large pits in the soft yellow sand.

The power of the explosion was blocked by the thick yellow sand and was very small when it reached the ground, so it did not have much impact on the enemies lurking underground.

The Zerg is an expert at drilling underground. With the existence of Zerg stealth spiders, other arms do not have a high demand for attacking underground targets.

The attack of the Zerg destroyer is not very effective in attacking underground targets, and it cannot blow up the enemies lurking underground.

The Naga army cannot see all this, but the Zerg host can see it very clearly.

"Boom boom boom...!"

The limited one-star Zerg destroyers indicate the location of the underground stealth enemies to the Naga army through attack.

Since they cannot hit them, the Zerg destroyers will not waste firepower. Zerg troops with a single arm are sometimes powerless in the face of complex battlefield situations.

The one-star Zerg destroyers indicate the location of the Naga army. Next, it depends on whether the Naga army has the ability to force the enemy to the ground.

There are many Naga mages accompanying the army this time. The entire Naga desert main city has been reinforced with earth magic. Although the ground still looks yellow sand, the ground underneath is actually as hard as iron.

After receiving Naga's order, the Naga mages continued to reinforce the ground a distance outside the wall of the desert main city with earth magic.

Not only that, the Naga mages also buried a lot of triggered earth trap magic outside the reinforced area. When there are creatures underground that are touched, they will launch magic attacks.

All of this, Wu Qing can clearly sense through the Zerg host.

"Bang bang bang...!"

There were bursts of muffled sounds from the ground. Those unknown enemies lurking underground triggered the earth trap magic arranged by the Naga mages, causing a violent magic explosion.

But such a violent magic explosion still did not blow out the unknown enemies underground.

Until those unknown enemies entered the area reinforced by earth magic, their movement speed underground became slower and slower, and finally stopped.

To travel through the ground reinforced by magic, it is not only necessary to break the resistance of mud and stone, but also the resistance of magic energy. If you are not strong enough and cannot offset the large amount of magic energy blocking, you will not be able to continue sneaking.

If you are not careful, you will be trapped in it and cannot get out.

This is the situation now. Those unknown enemies who have sneaked into the magic reinforced area are trapped.

"It's coming out!"

"Boom boom boom...!"

The Zerg host can sense the movement underground. The Zerg destroyer predicts the actions of the unknown enemies sneaking underground and launches an attack in advance.

A large number of creatures that look like scorpions drilled out from the ground, with their scorpion tails erected high. Before they take the next step, they encounter a devastating blow from the Zerg destroyer!

A large number of desert races gathered around, mainly desert lizardmen, seem to be waiting for this moment.

Countless desert races, hidden in the wind and sand, stepped on the yellow sand, and rushed to the main desert city of the Naga tribe from all directions.

All Zerg destroyers opened fire and launched a covering attack on the desert races whose numbers were already extremely terrifying.

A large number of desert races fell in the wind and sand, and disappeared in the light. More desert races rushed over from behind.

"Boom boom boom...!"

The Zerg destroyers continued to attack, quickly destroying various desert races.

Those scorpions lurking underground also kept emerging from the ground, dispersing and consuming the firepower of the Zerg destroyers.

As the number of desert races rushing over increased, the scorpions finally seized the opportunity, showed off their scorpion tails raised high, and launched an attack on the Naga army defending the city wall.

Dark green rays of light are shot at the soldiers of the Naga army. This ray-like green light has an attack distance equivalent to that of an ordinary Zerg hydralisk. When it hits the soldiers of the Naga army, it will cause terrible penetration. Burns and toxin damage.

The Naga army quickly launched a long-range counterattack and killed those scorpions that slipped through the net.

This kind of scorpion, which looks like a melee weapon at first glance, actually has such a powerful long-range attack capability, and completely maintains the scorpion form, looking very similar to the Zerg.

This surprised Wu Qing.

"Queen of Insects, let the host try to control those scorpions. They should be considered insects, right?"

Wu Qing also thought that these scorpions were followers of the evil god, so he didn't think about whether the Zerg could control them. Now that he discovered the similarities between this unit and the Zerg, he wanted to try it with the Zerg host who could control the bugs. .

Because these scorpions are very large and not weak in strength. They are not ordinary bugs. They may be intelligent creatures that believe in evil gods. After the Zerg host tried it, it did not succeed.

However, some relevant information was fed back. After learning about the situation, the insect queen believed that obtaining the scorpion genes would help achieve the purpose of using the Zerg host to control the scorpions.

Wu Qing thought for a while and felt that it was rare to encounter a race similar to the Zerg and it was necessary to conduct some research.

Just do it when you have an idea. A Zerg host flew over the corpse of a scorpion that the Naga tribe had killed remotely. At the risk of being accidentally injured, it grabbed some tissues from the scorpion corpse.

By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is Yeguo Reading. Install the latest version.

The Zerg host who obtained the scorpion's body tissue flew to Host No. 3 and transferred the scorpion's body tissue to Host No. 3.

"Elder, we took some body tissue of that scorpion creature and sent it back to the territory for study. This kind of creature is a relatively big threat. Let's find a way to deal with it!"

"Elder, please send someone to help us deliver it!"

Host No. 3 told Nagaya truthfully and asked the Nagas to help return the scorpion's body tissue to the Zerg territory.

The genetic research of the Zerg must be carried out back to the Zerg base. None of the Zerg here can go back, so Nagaya can only help.

Nagaya looked at the small carapace wrapped around one of the tentacles of Host No. 3. Without saying anything, she asked someone to bring a box to put it in, and immediately sent it back through the space transmission channel.

Wu Qing also sent a transport host to the Naga space transmission channel within the Zerg's sphere of influence to receive the tissue from the scorpion.

It will take some time for this to be done, so we can only continue to wait.

…

On the battlefield covered by the wind and sand, the desert race continued to attack. It seemed that every enemy who fought against the Zerg Destroyer had the intention of consuming the Zerg Destroyer's ammunition and wanted to use their troops to consume the Zerg Destroyer's ammunition.

According to normal experience, units such as Zerg Destroyers that carry out ultra-long-range and high-power attacks must have limitations in the durability of their attacks. As long as they are willing to consume troops, such units can be wasted.

The Zerg Destroyer actually complies with this rule, but the energy required for the Zerg unit’s ammunition replenishment can be carried out through the Zerg network, and the Zerg’s special body genes allow them to quickly and persistently replenish energy to generate the energy needed for attacks. of ammunition.

Moreover, this ability of the Zerg will increase as its strength increases.

This makes enemies who want to rely on large numbers of troops to consume the Zerg Destroyer ammunition suffer a big loss.

"Boom boom boom...!"

"Boom boom...!"

The Zerg Destroyer's attacks are sometimes rapid, sometimes gentle, and sometimes even pause for a period of time.

This is all due to the Queen of Bugs dynamically adjusting the firepower output of the Zerg Destroyer based on the real-time battlefield conditions provided by the Zerg host.

As long as they can effectively suppress the attack of the desert race, there is no need for the Zerg Destroyer to waste firepower.

This offensive and defensive battle lasted for a while. It may be that the desert race consumed too many troops and the follow-up troops could not keep up, so their attack slowly stopped.

The large number of scorpions lurking underground also hid underground and never came out.

The Zerg host can sense that more and more scorpions are gathering underground outside the Naga desert main city.

The desert races in the surrounding areas are still coming, and they have once again entered the stage of gathering troops.

If this continues, the next time the desert race launches an attack, the attack will be even more fierce.

Especially the number of scorpions underground is increasing. Neither the Naga nor the Zerg are able to eliminate those scorpions that can sneak underground.

If these scattered scorpions, combined with the attacks of the desert races on the ground, all appeared at once, more than half a million Zerg saboteurs would not be able to deal with them at the same time.

By then, the Naga army will face long-range attacks from a large number of scorpions, and there will definitely be many casualties.

"The threat of this scorpion is not small. I hope there can be a good solution, otherwise the Naga tribe will have to hire some stealth spiders!"

Wu Qing looked at more and more scorpions and thought silently.
