Chapter 85 Creepy Combinations

Rui An and Duo Lun had never seen such a bizarre combination in reality. The scene was enough to drive one insane.

Fortunately, this was just a player-simulated combination in the game.

Otherwise, if they encountered this kind of combination in reality, they wouldn't know whether to awkwardly ship the CP first or just puke in respect.

However, what they feared most was the explosive effect brought about by the combination of these two insects.

A Black Beetle Insect General carried a Thousand-Eyed Insect General on its body. The two relied on each other. The Thousand-Eyed Insect provided a 360° view for the Black Beetle, and the Black Beetle shielded the Thousand-Eyed Insect from all external damage while rampaging everywhere.

"This tacit understanding… one would think it's a love that transcends species."

Rui An unintentionally spoke the truth.

She was flanking Mingmei with Duo Lun, and while Duo Lun attracted the opponent's attention, she was about to launch a cautious sneak attack!

Because she had discovered that the remotely set shells couldn't hit the weak spot under the carapace, she had no choice but to charge up with her light blade.

As a result, the player playing the Thousand-Eyed Insect used its tail to directly block that spot. Her strike did nothing but cut off a small section of the Thousand-Eyed Insect's body.

The Black Beetle Insect General had already noticed her intention and quickly dodged away.

"What just happened?"

Mingmei suddenly felt a brief narrowing of her vision. When she came back to her senses, she saw the red mech approaching. Luckily, she ran fast.

Thinking she had dodged the attack, she asked Mu Chen, who was wrapped around her, "Thanks to the field of vision you provided."

"Yes. Go around them and attack the other starships and mechs watching the show."

Mu Chen could also see that these two mechs seemed to be experimenting, using them as test data. Once they had gathered enough data, they would be ganged up on until nothing was left.

Instead of that, it was better to leave them with an unforgettable memory.

Mu Chen's thoughts were also Mingmei's intentions.

With Mu Chen by her side, her heart gradually calmed down. After feinting a shot at Rui An and Duo Lun, the two insects turned around and charged directly at the starships.

These people weren't just watching, either. The starships and mechs had already activated their defense shields, originally intended to prevent Mingmei from escaping.

Who knew that their defenses would be so vulnerable to Mingmei's collision!

"Oh my god!"

Someone shouted in the public channel, followed by the explosion of the starship that collided head-on with Mingmei. Several busy tones were added to the public channel in an instant.

No one expected the Black Beetle's attack to be so fierce.

Nothing fancy, just the effect of its huge and hard body directly ramming into things was so terrifying.

"The Black Beetle's defense is so strong, is its combat power also this high?"

Duo Lun wondered if the game had increased the Black Beetle's stats.

If the Black Beetles in reality were all like this, that would be terrible.

"Its strong defense means that it can be used as a weapon. And this weapon is not a consumable."

Rui An reminded Duo Lun. As she spoke, the corner of her eye caught sight of the insect that had clearly escaped by ramming into the starship, but instead of leaving, it continued to ram into the starships that were scattered to the sides!

Rui An immediately shouted into the command channel, "Everyone, get out of the way! Attack with all your might!"

The siblings had no intention of testing anything now. Although it was a game, it wasn't a reason for them to sacrifice others, especially their teammates.

The two players in front of them had already seen their intentions and clearly didn't want to comply.

"Annoying brats."

Duo Lun frowned, ignoring how bad his actions were, and accused the others of being annoying. The second armor-piercing shell prepared in the mech was also charging up.

He was just waiting for others to create wounds on the Black Beetle's body, or… for the weak spot under the carapace to be exposed again.

Overwhelming firepower rained down on Mingmei, but Mingmei didn't care and just wanted to wrap Mu Chen up and put him in front of her to block the firepower.

But before she could do anything, Rui An had already stepped forward to provoke her, leaving Mingmei no time to take care of other things.

Whether it was to attract Mingmei's attention and have more firepower hit her, or to guide Mingmei's combat movements to expose the underside of her carapace, Mingmei knew it, and Mu Chen knew it too.

Therefore, Rui An watched as the Thousand-Eyed Insect, which had been wrapped around the Black Beetle, suddenly stood up a part of its body for some unknown reason.

Rui An inexplicably felt a sense of crisis.

She hadn't seen this operation from the insect race they were playing!

Then, Rui An suddenly noticed that a mech beside her suddenly crashed straight into the two starships that were firing at Mingmei!

Before she could react, several other starships suddenly turned their guns around.

"What the hell! What are you doing? Are you crazy!"

"Liu Laosan, what are you doing with my controller?!"

"Damn it! Someone's gone crazy! Ah!"

Rui An had also felt a burst of piercing pain in her brain just now. The feeling of almost losing consciousness scared her awake again.

As a result, when she woke up, she suddenly heard chaotic voices from other players in the communication channel. The nearby starships and mechs seemed to have received a lot of impact.

Before they could react, the Black Beetle, which had been in a bad state, took the opportunity to crush the starships that were in a bad state with its body!

"A'Chen? Were you using mental power just now?"

Mingmei, who shared a mental network with Mu Chen, had felt Mu Chen's mental power suddenly spreading out, vast and destructively strong.

"Yes."

Mu Chen just hummed and didn't say much.

In a place Mingmei couldn't see, the Thousand-Eyed Insect, after finishing everything, once again lay on the back of the Black Beetle.

"We, we just took out half of the starships?"

Mingmei turned her head to look at the terrifying results, smiled, and immediately became excited, feeling that she had energy again and could fight again!

She excitedly shared the results with the person behind her.

"A'Chen?"

However, after Mingmei spoke for a long time, she realized that the Thousand-Eyed Insect on her body had not spoken. Suddenly, she stopped.

She gathered her carapace, but found that it seemed to be stuck by something.

Through the vision shared by Mu Chen, Mingmei saw a piece of body stuck under her carapace in the softest place.

A body part that had separated from the main body.

"A'Chen?"

Mingmei called out again, unwilling to give up, but no one answered her.

She felt the vast mental power surrounding her, and it seemed that no one was controlling it.

Without the sense of flow from Mu Chen's mental power probing and retracting, if the mental power could be seen, they would see a Black Beetle gently wrapped in strands of mental power.

The other end of the mental power spread out into the universe, constantly receiving signals for it and providing a field of vision without blind spots.

She didn't know when Mu Chen had died. The Thousand-Eyed Insect's body was riddled with holes, and Mingmei could clearly see them with the mental power under her control.

She thought she had dodged all the attacks and even caught the attacks that should have landed on Mu Chen.

In the end, the opposite was true.

Mu Chen had blocked most of the damage for her.

But even so, Mingmei realized one thing: Mu Chen, who had said he would fight with her to the end, had also died without her knowing.

Even though she knew it was a game, Mingmei's breath hitched.

In the end, she was alone again.

[How did he die?]

[Just now, he detonated the Thousand-Eyed Insect's crystal nucleus. In order to avoid collateral damage, he converted all the energy into mental power and shocked the mental power of many players present, which is why there was chaos. Then, he left all the remaining mental power to you.]

Gui Gui didn't know about the Thousand-Eyed Insect's knowledge. Even a proper insect wouldn't do this.

Only Mu Chen would do this when he played it.

However, based on Mu Chen's operation, Mingmei's next operation was also shocking.

Everyone saw the player playing the Black Beetle suddenly put the Thousand-Eyed Insect, which was wrapped around its body and looked clearly dead, back on the antennae on top of its head.

As the carapace trembled, the broken body part left the weak spot on her body. The frequency of the vibrating carapace became faster and faster, so fast that everyone could only see the afterimage of the flashing carapace.

In an instant, Mingmei once again rushed into the starship fleet…

[The first half of the game is over, please players settle their points…]
