After a month of training, the combat capabilities of the Adun team have made great progress.
The good news is that this training method comes from the second universe and is very efficient.
The bad news is that this training method is very targeted, and most of the improvements are only in how to fight against the wild insects.
For a month, the Hailstorm was not idle.
Zhang Xiaoman used the memory reading and the Lord of Light's combined passive ability to learn the locations of other insect swarms, especially the core positions of large insect swarms other than this planet, from the insect mothers he caught on the planet.
"Huh? Ji Xing, the tracking ability you have is quite impressive. It's the first time I've seen someone who can use the mental channel to track the insect swarm in reverse direction... I feel like if you continue like this, we'll be afraid that we won't be able to do that for a long time. We are about to face the Insect King directly...Will we finally catch up to the source of the will of the insect swarm...His! I don't dare to think about it!"
Ziwei said that in all his years of living, he had never seen anyone able to track bugs in this way. That is, Zhang Xiaoman had both the ability of Lord of Light and Lord of Shadow, which allowed the plan to proceed smoothly, otherwise Without any one of them, he couldn't guarantee that things would have such an effect.
"Ziwei, it's not as exaggerated as you think. The swarm is not stupid. After discovering our whereabouts, it will definitely clean up its own situation. Besides, I don't think the will of the swarm can be found so easily. I'm afraid even those The insect kings themselves don’t even know where it is... If that’s the case, then my ability won’t take effect.”
On the Hail ship, Zhang Xiaoman was analyzing the current situation with Ziwei in the room.
They have now finished cleaning up the bugs on the previous yellow sand planet and started to move towards the next stronghold.
This time the target is a larger insect swarm force floating in the universe. The previous planet-level insect mother swarm split off from here.
"The size of the insect swarm is also divided into levels. Previously, the ones on those planets were all small and small, and the maximum size did not exceed level 3. It was very easy to deal with!"
Ziwei said while staring at the star map displayed in front of him.
"Polestar, if I go by your description, then the level of the insect swarm we are facing now is probably a level 5 insect space fortress. If we want to break it, the price will not be small..."
Zhang Xiaoman heard this, nodded and said:
"I understand, Ziwei, your intelligence analysis ability is accurate. I hope that as you said, the size of this insect swarm does not exceed level five. Otherwise, with our current strength, we may not be able to eat it." .”
Zhang Xiaoman and others' current location has reached another star system.
He learned from Adun's description and the collection of existing information that no life was born in this star system, but there were many planets containing various metals and first-level dark spirit materials, which allowed the desert insects to temporarily stay in Got here.
"How many level 5 Zerg troops are there?"
"It looks like tens of billions... To be honest, after being a Shadow Sentinel for so long, I rarely fought against the Zerg, and I have never dealt with such a large number of Zerg. I feel that it is a bit beyond our capabilities. In the end, It would be nice to be able to let a strong person at the upper control level take action..."
Ziwei showed a rare guilty expression on her face, and the insect swarm that occupied an entire star system was indeed a bit difficult for her and Zhang Xiaoman.
The two gathered together to discuss the next battle plan in detail. During this process, the spacecraft kept flying and jumping as instructed.
Finally, when the second month passed, they finally reached the target area.
"What are those things? Why does it seem like there's so much fog in this galaxy?"
In the control room, looking at the scene displayed outside the spacecraft, Li Xiang and other crew members expressed some strangeness.
After the Hailstorm flew into this area, it was difficult to fly normally again. The entire space was filled with a white fog. After sampling and analysis, everyone found that a large part of this strange thick fog was caused by It is composed of dark spiritual power, which can shield the operation of all electronic equipment. Even after the Hailstorm activates the corresponding dark spiritual power shield, it will be interfered to a certain extent and become very slow.
The most important thing is that due to the influence of this fog, the Hailstone lost its long-range navigation ability, and the scanning radar became a complete display, turning them into a blind team.
"This ability is so familiar... Is it possible that in addition to the Zerg, there is also a fog heart in this galaxy?"
After Zhang Xiaoman saw these Baiwuyi, he immediately thought of the scenes he had seen before. Naturally, it was the most basic and most troublesome monster among the biological alien species - Wuxin.
"Ziwei, will the wild insects still be entangled with Wu Xin? Won't these insects swallow it up?"
"I rarely see the situation you mentioned, but I heard that Wuxin is the 'good partner' of all biological star beasts, even the wild insects are no exception, although the two happen to come together. Not many, but as far as I know the Zerg will not take action against the Misthearts, but are willing to protect them."
"It's really a bit tricky to protect..."
Zhang Xiaoman frowned slightly.
The current situation is that the spacecraft's spirit shield is struggling to resist the interference of the fog core, which results in the Hailstone having no extra energy to perform space jumps.
Everyone is currently flying towards the center of the galaxy at high speed. Although this speed is in the "high speed" range compared to planets, compared to the vast star system, it is not worth mentioning at all.
"We have to find a way to kill that Mist Heart!"
At this moment, the spacecraft's alarm suddenly rang. According to the information sent back by Li Xiang, everyone was currently being attacked by some kind of strong toxin.
"Toxin attack? Is it caused by these fogs?"
Zhang Xiaoman blinked and transferred the current damage report of the spacecraft.
Immediately afterwards, he noticed with horror that the spirit shield outside the spacecraft was being consumed rapidly, and an alarm sounded from the main system. The current consumption rate could no longer keep up with the recharging speed. If this continues, the spacecraft is expected to After 1 hour and 20 minutes, protection was completely lost.
It was also the first time in Ziwei's life that she had encountered a toxin of this intensity. When she saw the shield of the spaceship being corroded, the expression on her face became serious.
Indeed, if this situation continues to develop, there will be no need for the wild insects to take action at all, and I am afraid that my side will be finished first.
"We must find a way to get closer to the center of the fog quickly, and get rid of that annoying thing first!"
Light flashed on Zhang Xiaoman's arm, and the ability of the star pattern was activated, already injecting a touch of power into the spacecraft at his feet.
Give: life! accelerate!
"Creak~"
There was a heartbreaking sound, and immediately the light of the entire spacecraft suddenly went out, and then suddenly lit up again in less than half a second. Everything seemed to have returned to normal.
However, Li Xiang was greatly surprised after checking the current progress of the spacecraft.
"What's going on! Our speed has increased twenty-five times compared to before!?"
His face was full of disbelief. He couldn't figure out what happened just now. Why did the spaceship he was riding on seemed to suddenly change into a different ship when the lights went out and on? It even turned on the plug-in. , soaring its own speed to a limit.
"Polestar! Well done!"
Ziwei screamed excitedly, quickly turned on the holographic mode for himself, and stared at the scene in front of him, his eyes shining with eagerness.
She is obviously aware of Zhang Xiaoman's innate ability. The latter is now able to activate the ability within a moment of quickly turning on the three-star pattern, and then quickly turn off the state of the three-star pattern. This way, he can maximize the power of the three-star pattern. It reduces unnecessary consumption and saves preparation time when activating abilities. It is a very practical skill.
According to the current speed of everyone, I am afraid that it will take another half an hour to reach the core area of the heart of the fog.
"Jiuxing, you turned the Hailstone into an intelligent life form. This should greatly improve its strength, but I always feel weird, as if something is wrong..."
In the room, Ziwei hesitated for a moment, put his finger on his chin and thought for a while, then said with a relieved expression:
"I remembered! Why do I always feel a familiar feeling every time I see you transforming machinery! I didn't understand until I saw the Hailstone today, Polestar, don't you realize that these machines you transformed Are the life forms similar to the drones in the Bell Starfield?"
Zhang Xiaoman was stunned when he heard this, and immediately realized, yes, he had always felt that this form of life looked familiar. Isn't this the life form of the Beier drone in the second universe?
The Bell drones are called an independent race, and many people have been studying how they gave birth to intelligence and life.
Because in that universe, many people have dismantled those drones, but after dismantling them, they found that these materials were just a lot of basic metal substances and dark spiritual materials, without any signs of activated cells. How does a form give birth to life?
This question has always been an unknown mystery, buried deep in people's hearts.
Until now, when Zhang Xiaoman used the life-giving ability to activate the spacecraft, because it and the drone were both in the form of a space battleship, Ziwei made an association and discovered the similarities.
Zhang Xiaoman scratched his head. To be honest, he still couldn't figure out the principle of this ability. In short, the things he gave life to were even a stone and a bunch of machinery could be turned into living bodies. He didn't know that this was different from Beier. Does the drone have the same principle? But since he can't figure it out, there is no need to waste time thinking about it for the time being. What he needs to do now is how to defeat this fog heart.
The most important thing is that due to the influence of this fog, the Hailstone lost its long-range navigation ability, and the scanning radar became a complete display, turning them into a blind team.
"This ability is so familiar... Is it possible that in addition to the Zerg, there is also a fog heart in this galaxy?"
