Chapter 197
The teardrop-shaped lead bullet carrying a wisp of blue smoke shot decisively towards the Hydralisk's head. However, due to Fang Senyan's natural deficiency in shooting, the bullet clearly deviated. The saying "a miss is as good as a mile" could also be applied to aiming and shooting. But strangely, it was as if there was an incredibly magical force controlling something, forcibly twisting the bullet's trajectory to correct it!

The guaranteed hit effect took effect at this moment!

This fatal lead bullet not only severely damaged the blood-colored golden-striped Hydralisk, but also stunned it. When the three-second stun effect disappeared, Mogansha had obviously recovered from the paralysis and retreated behind cover as quickly as possible, leaving the enemy with no chance to attack.

Next, Reef charged into the pack of Zerglings, protecting himself with the ferocious silver alien shield while letting out a soul-stirring roar! Under the invisible impact, the nearby blood-red golden-striped Zerglings were instantly swept by a storm, blood seeping from their mouths, noses, and eyes. Their frenzied attack speed and movement speed were greatly reduced!

Heart-wrenching!

These Zerglings, with their high level of tactical awareness, originally wanted to rush directly towards the ranged attackers in the rear: the Hydralisks of the Blackthorn tribe and the elite human soldiers, selectively ignoring the two guys in front of them. But after being forcibly slowed down by at least 50%, the only outcome if they insisted on doing so was to be directly killed by bullets and acid in the slow-motion charge, leaving no residue. So they switched their target to Fang Senyan and Reef. Unfortunately for their attack power, these two guys were two damn boulders, and their hardness was at the granite level.

In just a few minutes, this abrupt battle was over. In this battle, only three of the Zerglings brought by Fang Senyan remained. Fortunately, the ranged firepower output was basically intact. Seeing this scene, Fang Senyan's face became a little dignified. The Zerglings could no longer die, otherwise they would have to use the Hydralisks to explore the way ahead. And there was no telling how much danger lay ahead!

For example, the giant Spore Cannon anti-air tower in front of them, seemingly naked and defenseless like a girl in a Chen teacher's work, was placed in front of them, but Fang Senyan absolutely didn't think they could rush up and do whatever they wanted. On the contrary, as the Zerg guards died, a great sense of threat descended into Fang Senyan's consciousness, as if a voice was constantly and laboriously telling him: "Don't get close, don't get close! Don't get close at all!" The group rested here for ten minutes, waiting for their bodies to recover while discussing the attack plan. But just as they were hesitating, the Nightmare Marks of the three of them simultaneously issued a warning: "Warning! You have delayed too much time. The Queen of Blades' directly controlled troops on the Spore Highlands have detected the anomaly and have sent out extra patrols that will meet you in ten minutes."

"Warning! You have delayed too much time. The Queen of Blades' directly controlled troops on the Spore Highlands have detected the anomaly. From now on, a patrol team will be added every thirty minutes to carry out patrols, and the strength of the patrol teams will increase progressively." "Oh! Damn it!" Fang Senyan didn't even have time to curse. He immediately looked around at the surrounding terrain, and Mogansha and Reef, who were also experts in this field, immediately selected an area most suitable for defense! Soon, that patrol team caught up from behind, with roughly the scale of thirty blood-colored golden-striped Zerglings and five blood-colored golden-striped Hydralisks.

Among them was a monster that had never been seen before. This monster had eight legs like a long-legged spider, with metal blade-like cold light at the ends of its legs. Its head looked quite like a Hydralisk, but it was at least two or three times larger than a Hydralisk. Because of the constant sliding of the eight legs, it moved quite quickly. Golden stripes were distributed from its torso to its eight legs, giving it an evil majesty!

After Reef saw this creature, his eyes widened immediately. He contacted Fang Senyan immediately, "This is an advanced unit of the Hydralisk! We encountered it when we went to rescue Rigg Johnny. It appeared with the Inferno! This monster is called a Lurker. It doesn't attack on the ground, but it can burrow into the ground at extremely high speed, and then blade-like undulating spikes will emerge from the ground, damaging everyone in the direction of attack. At that time, we didn't pay attention, and as a result, a full thirteen Hard汉支队 soldiers died at its hands! We have to take it down in the first instance, otherwise, once it burrows into the ground, it will be difficult to damage it." (Hard Han Squad, no direct translation available)

"A range attack version of the Spine Crawler?", Fang Senyan stared intently at the carapace of the Lurker. It was glittering with metallic luster, and obviously, this guy's defense was also extremely strong! "What's its range?"

"It definitely won't be inferior to the range of a Machine Gunner. Although this guy can't move after burrowing into the ground, its attack range is at least no less than our guns. More importantly, because it attacks directly from underground, many shelters are useless. More importantly, I don't know if the Queen's directly controlled Lurkers have any other additional enhancements!"

Obviously, Mogansha's Spartan spear was still on cooldown.

Fang Senyan sighed when he saw this situation. It was already a foregone conclusion that this battle would be very difficult! The only good news was that the cooldown time of the Song of the Rum was 10 minutes, which meant it could still be useful in the battle.

Fifteen minutes later, the battle ended. Fang Senyan, lurking nearby, succeeded in a sneak attack. He used the Song of the Rum's three-second stun plus a prototype electromagnetic cloud explosive bomb to control the blood-colored golden-striped Lurker for a full ten seconds or so (because this Lurker also had resistance to stun), and all the ranged troops seized the time to kill this guy.

However, this Zerg patrol team, which deliberately dispersed its formation, also launched a powerful counterattack in an instant. Under the dual control of Fang Senyan and Reef, seven or eight blood-colored Zerglings and blood-colored Hydralisks still successfully launched a surprise attack on the ranged troops! After the battle ended, one of Mogansha's eyes was blinded by acid. Fang Senyan and Reef didn't suffer much damage, but all the Zerglings they brought were wiped out. Only one heavily wounded Hydralisk survived, and only three of the human elite machine gunners remained!

Obviously, they had to complete the mission in the remaining twenty minutes, or at least blow up the giant Spore Cannon anti-air tower in front of them. They didn't want any extra rewards. At least they had to avoid being punished! Although the threat warning from perception was very obvious, Fang Senyan still gave the order to attack to the only remaining heavily wounded Hydralisk, ordering it to stagger towards the giant Spore Cannon anti-air tower to explore the way.

One hundred meters, no accidents.

Eighty meters, no accidents.

Fifty meters... suddenly, this heavily wounded Hydralisk exploded without warning! It scattered into pieces of flesh and flying green mucus! Those pieces of flesh and body fluids spread on the ground and dissolved rapidly like butter thrown into a hot pot, disappearing without a trace in a few seconds. At the moment of the tragic explosion, a golden light flashed by, that light almost pierced into people's hearts!

Fang Senyan turned to look at Mogansha, who had the best eyesight, and said with a solemn expression, "Did you see it?"

Mogansha swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with difficulty, "I saw it. It was an attack from the Spine Crawler piercing up from underground. That attack was hard, sharp, fast, and precise! It was full of blood! Its attack speed seems to be only half of that of an ordinary Spine Crawler! But each attack can directly pierce out two pale and blood-stained tentacles! The tips of those tentacles are shining with a golden light! Moreover, the construction location of this blood-colored golden-striped Spine Crawler is very insidious, which means that ranged firepower must go around it to attack it! And if we go around it, then we will inevitably enter its attack range, and someone must attract the firepower in front!"

Obviously, it should be the last line of defense defending the giant Spore Cannon anti-air tower: the blood-colored golden-striped Spine Crawler! So the key next is on Fang Senyan and Reef. If they can withstand the attack of this blood-colored golden-striped Spine Crawler, then there is still a chance to kill this Spine Crawler and complete the mission! But the key is, can they withstand it?

If they adopt the tactic of alternating between the two of them, then one difficulty is how to attract the firepower of the Spine Crawler. For example, if Fang Senyan goes up first, how can they ensure that Reef can attract the attack of this Spine Crawler at the first time when he can't hold on, and also ensure that this guy only attacks himself.

This problem was solved by the remaining gunner, Byrons. He told Fang Senyan with certainty that according to the statistics of the human troops, all Spine Crawlers would only attack the closest enemy instinctively, unless the Overmind personally controlled them to attack the most threatening troops. And the Queen of Blades' directly controlled troops do not have an Overmind, they will only obey the Queen of Blades' orders! Fortunately, the Queen of Blades is obviously not here at this time, so this weakness can be used.

The next step, which is also the most important step, is of course for Fang Senyan and Reef to personally experience the attack power of this Spine Crawler. But the test results undoubtedly poured a bucket of cold water on everyone! Although the attack interval of this blood-colored golden-striped Spine Crawler is very long, almost six or seven seconds to attack once, its theoretical attack power has reached a terrifying two hundred points or even more than two hundred and fifty points! And its life value is not only recovering extremely fast, but the initial estimate is even close to seven thousand points!

............Hehe, can everyone guess what method Fang Senyan and the others will use to deal with this terrifying blood-colored golden-striped Spine Crawler? This is also the final boss of this scene. Well, after killing it, this scene will be almost over! ~!
