Volume 1 Chapter 472 The Fierce Battle Began
"Director, did you find anything?" Kong Yun asked with a serious expression.
As a sage of the human race, Old Man Zhan Tai had lived for countless years. Whether it was experience or experience, he was much stronger than Kong Yun. He did not believe that he could see things that Old Man Zhan Tai would not be able to think of.
Moreover, during the meeting just now, Old Man Zhan Tai did not say a word. He clearly had some misgivings.
As soon as Kong Yun opened his mouth, a silver light flew out of Old Man Zhan Tai"s hand. Immediately after, Kong Yun discovered that the s.p.a.ce they were in seemed to have undergone some changes.
"There"s no need to worry about being investigated here." Old man Zhan Tai smiled and said.
"As for your question just now … Actually, it"s nothing much. It"s just that someone was parasitized by the arachnids."
Old man Zhan Tai"s words shocked Kong Yun greatly. His meaning was very obvious. Someone from the Starfield Masters who had just partic.i.p.ated in the meeting had actually been parasitized by the arachnids!
It wasn"t just Kong Yun, Rose and Hulai also found it incredible. After being parasitized, the Starfield Master"s figure and personality had changed tremendously. There was no reason for him to be able to stay in the crowd without being discovered.
"Since you"ve already discovered that someone has been parasitized, why don"t you kill it and let it understand our strategy instead?" Rose couldn"t help but ask.
Old man Zhan Tai shook his head. "That insect is very cunning. After entering the human body, it completely concealed its aura. No one else can detect it. I only caught a trace of its aura the moment it parasitized."
"Furthermore" Old man Zhan Tai turned his head to look in a certain direction. There was a huge wormhole there, and his gaze became extremely deep, as if endless thoughts were hidden within it.
"There seems to be an incredible fellow inside the wormhole. I can sense his existence. I don"t want to alarm anyone until I know what it is."
"An incredible existence?"
What kind of terrifying fellow could be called "incredible" by a human sage?
However, this was not something they had to worry about. If even Old Man Zhan Tai could not solve this problem, then their worries would be useless.
"Then our battle plan …?" Rose asked with a frown.
If there were spies amongst the human race, then the contents of the meeting just now would have been known by the Zerg race.
However, Kong Yun waved his hand and said, "Just follow the original plan. We are using Yang Strategy and fighting for strength. Even if the arachnids know the battle plan, it won"t have much of an impact."
"However, the safety of the willow tree itself must be protected. It will definitely become the main target of the arachnid race"s attention in the future."
"Leave it to me." Hulai said. With her strength, as long as the arachnids didn"t rush out, she would be more than enough to protect the willow tree.
"Brat, the next battle will be even more difficult. Live well." After saying that, Old Man Zhan Tai waved his hand and sent the three of them back to his room.
Kong Yun could still hear what he said just now, which made him a little uneasy. There was an ominous meaning in Old Man Zhan Tai"s words, but Kong Yun did not want to think about it.
In the boundless starry sky, hundreds of squadrons were arranged in a staircase. People constantly flew in and out of the starry sky. Countless supplies were sent to the places where they needed them with extreme speed and efficiency.
After realizing how terrifying the arachnids were, humans had finally entered a true battle preparation stage. The reinforcements this time were all elites from various star systems, and they all displayed extremely strong battle accomplishments at this moment.
Nearly a hundred Starfield Masters appeared near the wormhole. Unlike the lazy battles before, no one would choose to preserve their strength in the face of the terrifying pressure when human experts rushed out.
Behind them were countless human soldiers, tens of thousands of Void Shatterers, and countless Void Entrance Warriors. They were the backbone of humanity"s fight against the insect race.
The battle was approaching. Although it was still in the preparatory stage, the atmosphere was already extremely solemn. Under the aura of so many experts, even the starry sky seemed to be unable to withstand it.
The arachnids in the wormhole were in constant turmoil, large or small. Only under the forceful control of the humanoid arachnids were they able to regain their calm. In the end, they were still only insects that acted on instinct.
However, the cruelty of the arachnid race was also vividly displayed at this moment. They were stimulated by such a strong aura. Not only did they not feel fear, they were instead stimulated to become even more vicious.
The disturbances weren"t caused by the worms, but by their desire to rush out of the wormhole and peel the delicious humans alive.
Humans and the arachnids seemed to be innately two races that could not coexist.
A millipede with cicada wings on its back seemed to have suddenly escaped the control of the humanoid arachnid race. It rushed towards the human army like crazy.
In the empty starfield, his ma.s.sive body was like a tiny flying insect, charging towards the human army, like a moth flashing into a fire.
However, the moth did not pounce into the fire as it wished. A slender but tough willow easily pierced through it, and it did not even make a sound before its death.
The death of this insect became the fuse of war. The humanoid arachnids, who had received some sort of order, completely released their control over the swarm of insects. Countless insects rushed out of the wormhole.
However, what awaited them was the same number of willows. Each willow could accurately kill an insect, causing the attack of the arachnid race to pause.
After cultivating for this period of time, the willow tree had recovered from its previous battle. After digesting the corpses of the arachnids, it became even more powerful. It was already on the verge of breaking through to the Starfield Master realm.
If it could survive this war, then breaking through to the Starfield Master would be a matter of certainty.
Dozens of willow branches suddenly shattered at the same time, and a humanoid arachnid appeared in the nearby void.
After a period of parasitism, its arms had already turned into the shape of a pair of pliers. However, the edge of the pair of meat pliers shone with silver light, and the naked eye actually felt a tingling pain.
Those willow branches must have been cut off by this pair of pliers.
"Humph! Look at how many willow branches you have, it"s still my pliers that are fast!" This humanoid arachnid was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it arrived at another location and raised its pair of claws to slash down.
"Then you have to ask me if I agree with you!"
As the voice rang out, a long sword wrapped in blue lightning suddenly appeared. The humanoid arachnid was about to dodge when a metal palm fiercely grabbed its neck.
Who else could it be if it wasn"t Kong Yun? It turned out that the Starfield Masters had also joined the battlefield.
Such a scene could be seen everywhere. The huge body of the willow tree could block ordinary arachnids very well, but it was easy for it to become the target of the humanoid arachnids. To block these attacks for the willow tree had become the mission of the Starfield Masters.
In an instant, the Lightning Tribulation Sword in Kong Yun"s hand had already pierced hundreds of holes in the humanoid arachnid"s body, and the terrifying energy contained in the Lightning Tribulation Sword had completely destroyed the vitality in its body.
Kong Yun easily killed a Star Realm Master-level humanoid arachnid in just a single confrontation.
This was not only because he was strong enough, but also because during the previous battle, Kong Yun"s understanding of the arachnid race had already penetrated deep into his bones.
Kong Yun was not excited about his "battle results". He threw away the corpse hanging on the Lightning Tribulation Sword in disgust and rushed to the next battlefield without stopping.
Unlike Kong Yun"s relaxed style, most Starfield Lords encountered extremely difficult opponents.
After parasitizing human experts, these humanoid arachnids not only inherited most of their abilities during their lifetime, they would also gradually transform their bodies that were more suited to their fighting style.
This caused their strength to become even stronger, and their abilities to become even more bizarre and changeable.
Not every human expert could kill his opponent. Many of them were surrounded by dangers under the insane attacks of the humanoid arachnids. Fortunately, they all fought in pairs according to Kong Yun"s suggestion. Once someone couldn"t hold on, those who had the strength would always arrive in time to help him out of the encirclement.
Therefore, compared to the arachnids, human casualties were much smaller.
But the battle was still fierce.
Although the willow tree had a large number of willow branches, it could no longer completely stop the arachnid army from rushing out of the wormhole as the arachnid race continued to attack.
However, the ones waiting for these insects were the human warriors who had been preparing for a long time.
More and more arachnids are being chopped into pieces, devoured and absorbed by willows, or turned into s.p.a.ce debris floating in the The universe .
The number of casualties among human warriors was also increasing, but compared to the arachnids, most humans would choose to self-destruct when they were certain of death, releasing all the remaining energy in their bodies. Before they died, they would always pull a few strings.
They don"t want to be aimless dust in the The universe .
In such a battle, a person"s strength was incomparably small. Looking around, there seemed to be ferocious enemies beside him. No one could withdraw from such a b.l.o.o.d.y whirlpool.
Leng Xing was one of the few people who could influence the battle on his own. His handsome face was expressionless, but his deep eyes flashed with light from time to time. Every ray of light meant the death of a humanoid arachne.
He didn"t have any helpers by his side. The extremely cold domain within a ten thousand meter radius would affect all creatures except him. Moreover, even in this situation, Leng Xing still disdained to join hands with others.
Another humanoid arachnid turned into a piece of lifeless ice in front of him. Leng Xing frowned. Such an ugly creature was not even worthy of being a.s.sociated with ice.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the ice that sealed the humanoid arachnids shattered into countless fine powder.
His gaze shifted slightly. He was looking for his next prey.
However, at this moment, an extremely strong voice suddenly sounded from the deepest part of Leng Xing"s mind. That voice told him, "Run!"
Without any hesitation or even disregard for demeanor, Leng Xing dodged to the side as fast as he could.
A silently burning white flame quietly appeared in front of Leng Xing.
