Chapter 648: Encountering the Final Ambush!
Looking down from high above, this densely packed swarm of insects, occupying several square kilometers, formed a brown sea.
When they all raised their heads, the cruel yellow-green light made one's heart chill.
However, this planet has no satellites, and it is impossible for anyone nearby to witness all this with their own eyes.
These insects only looked up to prove their existence after the giant mecha, trailing a purple luminescent stream, just set off.
Thousands of miles apart, yet moving at the same moment.
An invisible giant hand seems to be controlling everything from the shadows.
A hundred kilometers behind them, a presence that made them both terrified and excited began to emerge, with the sky there already turning a sunset-like blood red, and the color was intensifying.
The clouds in the sky started to gather there.
Soon, soon…
The thought waves of that plump white worm were felt by these millions of insects, sharing the exhilarating aura.
"Zzz."
A sharp insect cry rang from somewhere, and this sea of insects, containing almost all military units, began to surge.
Their cruel compound eyes started to reveal a fanatical expression.
It was the glorious message for them to sacrifice themselves for the arrival of the Great Life!
They would stop at nothing to hold back that hated enemy for their supreme leader's will.
In the center of the insect sea, the nearly 50-meter-long giant scorpion with a golden-yellow body began to rhythmically sway its upright tail sting.
Gradually, a faint yellow mist began to permeate the air, silently enveloping the surroundings and continuing to expand.
Eventually, it completely shrouded the area of tens of square kilometers.
From space, it would certainly be found that this region had no visual presence, and even the radar waves from afar vanished upon reaching this yellow mist.
It turned into a complete blind spot here!
No electromagnetic signals could exist within this yellow mist.
A rustling sound began to echo within this vast range of mist.
...
The Taigu Mecha sped across the sky, encountering a dozen groups of interceptors along the way.
There were Corruptors mixed with Flying Winged Dragon air units, and a mixed ground force composed of Plasma Worms, Cliff Worms, and Jet Tiger Insects.
The insidious and widespread venom attacks came from extremely tricky angles each time, without any forewarning.
However, the Taigu Mecha, with its Meteor 3 engine activated, had a gravity field that was solidified around it.
So…
The massive red mecha emerged unscathed from each venomous cloud and would raise its left hand to aim at those Zeg.
Boom, boom, boom!
The "Red Flame" on the left arm roared like a fire dragon, blowing those Zeg into flying ash with each scorching high-pressure energy orb.
The massive sonic booms still echoed in the air, and after fifteen minutes, Taigu swept a thousand kilometers at Mach 3.
The remaining Predator Fighters were left 300 kilometers behind by Mu Fan.
Feeling the wild thrust from behind, his body and the mecha's senses merged into one under the coordination device.
Each time Mu Fan fired and killed those Zeg, he could feel a faint, uncontrollable excitement stirring inside him.
Exterminating these brutal insects seemed to continuously stimulate his heart's excitement level.
Yet when Mu Fan tried to sense this anomaly, there was no trace to be found; these sensations seemed to be an exhilarating shout from his blood.
Fully synchronized, Mu Fan seemed to focus more attention on the dense primitive forest below, not noticing a faint green energy beginning to surface around him.
Cold, eerily silent, yet with a faint thrill.
"Black, we've reached the fifth region's edge now. Next, we'll break into the sixth region. How many Predator Fighters are left?"
"Still 120 left. The latest database on these Zeg has been constructed, with a danger index now at 92! Over 30 points of this index come from that wise commander behind the scenes, indicating the presence of a brain worm in this swarm. If so, this Zeg community is definitely not a small Zeg community but a large intermediate community with the potential to advance to an advanced community!"
"A large intermediate community, what does that mean?" Mu Fan scanned the radar again, still blank with no response.
The electronic equipment of this Taigu Mecha is indeed vastly inferior to Black's equipment.
When facing the Gale's Tiger of the Barnard Star System, the radar could hardly cover the opponent within effective attack range, and now when facing these Zeg, it's even more like a blind man; these electronics are essentially malfunctioning.
Black heard Mu Fan's question, thought for a moment, and said:
"An intermediate Zeg community represents having a real leader... a brain worm. This level of group differs essentially from those small Zeg communities, with more advanced military units, more systematic unit allocation, and even more bizarre attack methods. After continuously calculating with the data collected along the way in the Central Light Computer, I think we are now encountering such a community."
"And a large intermediate community means it's a Zeg community that can easily exterminate a planet..."
Black's cautious voice echoed, marking a qualitative change from its initial calculation results.
"I can't predict what we might encounter next, but I can tell that if it's truly a large intermediate community, the process will definitely not be smooth!"
"Without any radar data support right now, all I can say is be extremely careful."
Black's voice carried an unusual seriousness, prompting Mu Fan to nod silently.
The unknown enemy is the most terrifying, an eternal truth.
At that moment, the Taigu Mecha breaking through along the arc-shaped surface to the sixth region began to autonomously slow down, even exiting supersonic status.
Mu Fan furrowed his brows, eyes fixed on the yellow sandstorm nearly connecting the sky and earth not far away.
Overcast clouds gathered densely with constant flickerings of lightning inside.
The scale of this sandstorm was incredibly exaggerated, covering even half the sky.
Mu Fan's heart skipped without reason.
His body paused.
Taigu's hands overlapped before him, igniting an even more brilliant purple light.
Directed eightfold defensive gravity field!
The radar didn't respond, but Mu Fan acted decisively.
Because the extremely abnormal phenomenon, without causing any radar signals, is the biggest abnormality!
[High-intensity energy reaction detected below!]
[High-intensity detected ahead...]
[High-intensity detected on the side...]
Instantly, a dense array of red alarms lit up on the light screen, with continuous warning sounds.
Black's urgent voice resonated, "Engage defenses immediately; this is the golden scorpion's sand mist! We have encountered the main force of the Zeg Clan!"
As Black spoke, a dazzling and brilliant light suddenly flashed within the sandstorm mere steps away.
Then came the downpour-like plasma balls!
Crack... Crack...
Boom! Boom!
At this moment, Mu Fan's terrifying battle instincts finally prevented him from falling into a passive position.
The gravity field successfully filtered out over 80% of the energy attacks.
The remaining plasma balls began to forcibly press against the force field.
Instantly, his vision and surroundings were flooded with the omnipresent plasma explosions.
The powerful shockwaves burst open, sending the entire mecha flying uncontrollably!
In the cockpit, the violent tremors forced Mu Fan's body into a bow.
His vision spun wildly for more than ten seconds until the energy bar sharply dropped from 90% to 60%, and Taigu finally stabilized.
Mu Fan's eyes reddened fiercely.
He thrust his right palm forward, gripping heavily!
A purple light vortex appeared out of thin air, directly absorbing the yellow sandstorm.
The vision between heaven and earth began to clear.
Then that endless, terrifying sea of insects…
Presented itself before him!
