Chapter 710 The Insect Swarm Arrives
What about bombarding her directly with an energy cannon? That's not suitable either. A small-scale attack wouldn't do much damage, while a large-scale attack, like the one she used to bomb the sea last time, would also affect her, as she's deep in the ocean.
Even if she creates distance, the energy waves from the violent explosion would require the Water-Repelling Pearl to consume more energy to resist the damage, which is not worthwhile.
Otherwise, we can still use magical artifacts to fight enemies outside, but this method is slow and inefficient.
In a flash, he came up with a series of countermeasures, only to have them all rejected.
Su Mo finally thought of the big black ball and the army of reptiles, as they were the most suitable to do this task.
She consciously touched the contract in her sea of consciousness and communicated with the big black ball, instructing the big black ball to prepare its army of reptiles within the space.
The mountain where the reptiles lived in the space was barren, with no plants growing on it. This surrounded the mountaintop, waiting for Su Mo to feed them.
That's right. Since fighting the Zerg in the sea is troublesome, let's change the battlefield. Su Mo can pull some of the Zerg into space and let the big black ball deal with them.
Eliminating them in batches is less disruptive, more efficient, and doesn't slow down the process.
Upon receiving the task assigned by its master, the large black ball immediately snapped out of its lazy state, straightened its body, and assured, "I understand, Master! I guarantee I will complete the task!"
As it made the assurance, its instructions were also conveyed. The reptiles that had been lazily lounging on the hilltop immediately sprang into action, quickly forming a large circle that surrounded the hilltop.
Having not fought the Zerg for almost two months, they were also looking forward to the "food falling from the sky" and being fed.
Blue Star, in the Blue Sea.
Having arranged the countermeasures properly, Su Mo could now clearly sense the movements of the Zerg on the other side.
This time, the scale of the attack was much larger than the last time, it was a swarm of insects!
The distance between the two sides closed rapidly, but the deeper Su Mo's mental power went into the sea, the greater the resistance it encountered. Unlike on land, where it was as easy to control as an arm and a finger, it could not extend further to observe the full situation of the insect swarm in advance. It could only sense that the number of insects attacking was very large.
When they were only two or three hundred meters apart, the swarm of insects quickly adjusted their formation and continued to rush toward Su Mo's flying boat in a three-dimensional encirclement.
This is a mutual rush between Su Mo and the insect swarm.
The battle is about to break out.
Su Mo was prepared to spread her mental energy as far as possible, even if there was resistance, so that she could immediately pull the nearest Zerg into her space when the battle started.
The distance of several hundred meters can be covered in the blink of an eye.
The swarm of insects rushing from the dark depths of the sea collided violently with the water sphere carrying the flying boat.
The swarm of insects, formed by a massive aggregation of insectoids, is not to be underestimated. As they charge forward with all their might, their single target, the water sphere, appears so weak and helpless.
Faced with such a powerful encirclement, the frail water sphere, bobbing gently in the sea and about to be impacted, would surely be crushed and explode into a cloud of blood mist.
The Zerg army did not believe that their target could withstand their attack. Whether it was the flying boat encased in the water sphere or Su Mo standing on the flying boat, they would die the moment they collided.
However, it does not.
The moment the swarm of insects collided with the water sphere, the powerful impact of the insects pushing forward layer by layer was firmly held back by the thin barrier, without even changing its shape.
The next moment, the powerful impact that had been completely blocked was suddenly unleashed, forming a shockwave that spread rapidly in all directions from the water sphere as its center.
The Zerg are indeed incredibly strong; this level of energy fluctuation did not cause them any real damage, it only caused the entire Zerg swarm to tremble slightly.
But the attacking Zerg soldiers clearly did not expect that their powerful first attack would result in this outcome.
Not only were the other party unharmed, but it was as if they had slapped them in the face.
The damage wasn't significant; at least the airship, surrounded in the middle, couldn't break through and was still firmly trapped by the insect swarm. For every meter it advanced, the entire insect swarm moved along with it, carrying a heavy burden.
After the collision and the explosion of energy caused a large number of tiny bubbles to disperse, Su Molai, who was standing steadily on the deck of the airship, was revealed.
(The insectoid race, who live in the deep sea, can see in this environment, but Su Mo cannot; she relies on her mental power to perceive things.)
The insect swarm, which had been momentarily slowed by the energy waves they themselves created, quickly recovered.
Their goal was to kill this intruder who dared to approach the mother nest, and now that the intruder had withstood their charge, they would continue.
At the innermost edge of the encirclement are the smaller mantis beasts, which are densely packed onto the water sphere barrier. They are the main force of the attack, wielding their scythes and slashing at the barrier with fierce attacks, determined to break through it.
Meanwhile, the other Zerg in the inner and outer layers of the encirclement, unable to reach the target, were working together to resist the force of the spaceship's advance. Although the spaceship was psionicly powered and had great kinetic energy, it was not easy to continue moving forward due to the enormous thrust generated by the environment and the Zerg swarm.
Inside the water sphere barrier.
Su Mo was indeed unharmed.
Just as Su Mo had expected, the protective barrier of the water-repelling pearl was very strong. Her mental energy could sense what was happening outside, but she inside the water sphere was completely unaffected.
The swarm of insects was making such a racket that it stirred up countless noisy water currents, turning the once quiet deep sea into a chaotic mess.
However, the enemy's dense encirclement actually made things easier for Su Mo, allowing her to carry out her plan.
At this moment, her mental energy had extended to its maximum distance in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, all the insectoids within a fifty-meter radius outside the water sphere barrier disappeared.
Yes, fifty meters. This is the maximum distance that Su Mo's mental power can currently extend.
Space, on that mountain peak reserved for reptiles.
The large black sphere and the army of reptiles, who had been eagerly awaiting the event, perked up. The moment they sensed the energy fluctuations, a large group of mantis beasts appeared within the encirclement they had prepared.
The mantis, dazed and confused from the fall, was completely bewildered and had no idea what had happened to it.
Weren't they attacking their target? How could this be...?
"Go! Children, enjoy your master's feeding!" The big black ball shouted loudly, and it was the first to leap up and plunge into the mantis beasts.
Normally, the big black ball doesn't need to speak to give commands to the reptiles; they communicate through consciousness. But I don't know what kind of movies or TV shows the big black ball has been watching recently, which is why it came up with this trick.
The reptile army naturally didn't reply; they followed suit and charged towards the mantises, demonstrating their obedience to their queen.
The sounds of reptiles viciously biting and mantises reacting with desperate resistance mingled together.
