Chapter 229 Attack on the Aqir Hive 2
The passage into the interior of the Aqir Hive is very wide.
Even large trucks loaded with goods can pass smoothly here.
Most bugs have phototaxis, and the Aqir also have this property.
Ordinary bugs can only fly to places with light, forming the idiom of moths flying into the flames.
But the Yaqir Zerg have low-level intelligence and are guided by high-level Zerg people.
Therefore, there is a light source inside their nest tunnel.
It is a large insect that looks like an aphid, but its body and especially its belly glow.
The amber light emitted by the big bug brings a touch of warmth to the crisis-ridden nest.
The bug, which glows like a light bulb, shows no aggression.
Herard gave them a more vivid name, streetlight bugs.
The main task of street lamp bugs is to provide light sources for other bugs.
But everyone needs a light source.
Naturally, no one will kill them.
Xal'atas was eager to try and pop these streetlight bugs.
As an artifact dagger, it can see objects without a light source.
However, under the constraints of the rules set by Herad, he could not instruct small arcane golems to attack neutral targets.
Therefore, the only thing He could do was to use the whispers of the ancient gods to stimulate the street lamp bugs, hoping that they would pounce on them and attack.
"Come on, come and beat me!" "Come here and beat me to death!"
Unfortunately, the streetlight bug ignored him at all and lay motionless on the tunnel wall.
Glowing is the only mission of these bugs.
Apart from regularly sucking the nutrients secreted by the insect nest, they will not do any unnecessary actions.
They are just tool bugs without feelings.
Seeing that there was no chance, Xal'atath continued to move forward in despair.
The aqir beetles encountered along the way had their vital parts cut open by his sharp blade.
It’s just a small dagger, but its killing efficiency is actually quite good!
Xal'atath, the Blade of the Dark Empire, lives up to its name as an artifact.
However, Herard, who was watching from the sidelines, believed that his contribution was the greatest.
He mastered dagger skills through hard training before he could compile a qualified dagger combat program.
In fact, this hard training is in double quotes.
Alleria was very measured in her guidance.
The blunt dagger poked with just one point, just letting him feel that he was hit.
The beautiful ranger has a curvy figure, a slim and soft waist, and her every move exudes elegance.
Being able to be personally guided by such a beautiful ranger will make other people rush to get it.
What does a few pokes with a blunt dagger mean?
A guy like Herard, who was so blessed that he didn't know how to be blessed, would be attacked by Alleria's army of suitors in a matter of seconds.
Now he sat on the sofa with peace of mind, watching the live broadcast of the small arcane puppet very comfortably.
At this time, there were many people in other places in Quel'Thalas watching the live broadcast.
Previously, the draenei provided more advanced magical communication technology.
Of course, it was impossible for Harad to let this advanced magical communication technology fall into dust.
After obtaining the consent of Prophet Velen, he provided this magical version of high technology to the Silvermoon City Council.
High elven mages are very interested in this magical communication tool that can crush magic messengers.
And Herard gave it a lot of publicity.
This magic tablet, which is about the size of a palm, quickly became popular in the High Elf Kingdom.
At present, every family has a magic tablet.
In addition to being used for magic video communication, you can also watch live broadcasts on the platform.
The live broadcast of the exploration of the Aqir hive quickly attracted tens of thousands of viewers.
This number is still rising rapidly.
Although those huge bugs look vulnerable, the audience is not stupid.
Is it possible that a beetle the size of an adult bison is not strong enough?
This is obviously because the anchor is too powerful!
Every time the anchor takes action, he attacks the vital point cleanly.
And that weird-looking dagger cuts the carapace very easily.
The carapace should be very hard, cut open like paper.
The audience didn't understand how powerful the aqir were. If the night elves saw this live broadcast, they would definitely jump up in shock.
The night elves suffered a lot from the Aqirs and asked many Aspect Dragons to help, and then they sealed away the strong ones of the Aqirs.
The remaining Aqir bugs are not simply magnifying bugs.
To put it simply, these Yaqir bugs can be described as bugs that have reached the level of World of Warcraft.
All bugs have reached the World of Warcraft level. Ordinary soldiers will die if they fight against them!
As they gradually went deeper into the insect nest, the audience also saw something extraordinary.
To be able to build such a large underground lair, the insect's strength may not be as simple as it appears.
When a huge bug over three meters tall appeared, the guess was completely confirmed.
The big guy's upper body was raised, holding a pair of huge pliers, ready to attack the enemy at any time.
This shape looks a bit like a mantis wearing a carapace.
Giant bugs that combine the advantages of beetles and mantises are elite monsters called insect nest guards.
In the game, it can charge and knock players away.
In reality, it is normal for such a big guy to run over and kill someone.
The viewers who were watching the live broadcast subconsciously held their breath at this time, for fear of disturbing the giant bug.
Xal'atath let the small arcane golem hide in the corner, quietly observing the hive guards blocking it, looking for its weaknesses.
The insect nest guards are covered in thick carapace and look very durable.
This thing is simply a biological tank!
His short dagger body made Xal'atath feel powerless for the first time.
In the past, hosts were all spellcasters. They tricked the host into learning shadow spells, and then provided shadow energy to fight happily.
The shadow spell that provides additional shadow energy supply is absolutely powerful!
But this puppet body cannot cast spells.
Melee attacks are the only option.
The indestructible short blade was the only viable option against the huge insect with a thick carapace.
After formulating an attack plan, the small arcane puppet rushed out and brushed past the insect nest guard against the wall, while the dagger grazed its leg joint.
The insect nest guard's leg joints are also protected by carapace.
However, the leg joints need to move, and there cannot be too thick a carapace for protection.
The dagger broke through the carapace there and cut in, but did not completely cut off the leg joint.
Cut about a third of the way in.
Although the leg joints were not severed, the Hive Guard's movements were still greatly affected.
When it raises its upper body, only four legs support the body.
One of the legs was injured and he was a little unsteady when standing.
Just when it turned around with some difficulty, trying to see clearly what was attacking it, the leg on the other side was also attacked.
Since the effect of destroying mobility has been achieved, the attacks of the small arcane puppets became bolder.
The artifact dagger cut quickly, cutting off a large piece of the insect's leg carapace in just a few strokes.
Although the Aqir are servants of the Old Gods, they do not look like Cthulhu.
There were no squid tentacles or eyes or other evil things growing out of the area where the carapace was cut off by the sharp blade.
Inside the brown carapace is white, tender and juicy insect meat.
It looks like crayfish meat and seems to be delicious.
But I can only think about this thing, if I really want to eat it, I won’t have to.
Who knows if it will be poisoned, or grow a lot of tentacles and eyes?
The hive guard, whose parts were made into crayfish meat, waved two large pincers to drive away enemies.
However, with his legs severely damaged and unable to move, the small arcane puppet didn't care at all.
Those two large pliers are not soft tentacles. The direction and angle of the attack are not very big, so the attack can be easily avoided.
The only function of the large pliers is to smash cracks into the ground and walls.
Under the cutting of the sharp artifact dagger, the huge insect nest guard's carapace was shattered and was quickly dismembered into a pile of crayfish meat.
Spectators thousands of miles away were excited to see the giant bug fall.
They don't know the allusion of the cook Ding Jie Niu.
But similar allusions are still known.
And that's a quick dismemberment of a ferocious bug.
It can't be compared to dismembering a lamb for slaughter!
