BXBX NOVEL Chapter 172： The Purpose Of The Insect King
"Nothing unusual." Pang Lao explained to Sheng Zhuo on the battleship himself, "The driving system is no different from ordinary battleships. Major General Sheng should be able to drive battleships."
"Yes." Sheng Zhuo responded quickly.
"The only thing you have to pay attention to is that the energy cannon is launched. I have already prepared enough energy on it before coming over. So you don't have to worry about that when the energy is sufficient when launching. The only thing you have to pay attention to is from ignition to Launched, the turret needs one minute of energy storage. Once the energy storage is completed, the energy cannon will immediately fire from the muzzle. When I designed it, it was aimed at a space wormhole that would not move, in order to achieve the power of the weapon. To maximize, there is no consideration of accuracy. This causes, when you launch it, you must aim one minute in advance." Pang Lao carefully explained the shortcomings of the Tianhe No. 1 battleship.
Sheng Zhuo nodded and said he knew it.
Before setting off, Yu Xiuyuan warned the two people with anxiety: "This time the purpose is only to inquire about intelligence. If you can find out the best, but if you can't find out, don't be too aggressive. Safety is the first thing."
"Yu Shuai rest assured,? I know." Sheng Heng nodded.
Sheng Zhuo responded at the same time. The reason why he insisted on responding was to protect Sheng Heng's safety.
"Okay, let's go."
The Tianhe No. 1 battleship flew out of the harbor under the attention of everyone, and out of the atmosphere in a blink of an eye, disappearing into the vast starry sky. Until the battleship was out of sight, everyone returned to the command room and continued to keep in touch with the two through the internal channel.
It can be seen from the naming method that planets X-18 and X-19 are two neighboring planets, and it is possible to enter the star field of planet X-18 with the speed of the battleship Tianhe One in about six hours.
In a blink of an eye, six hours later, the battleship Tianhe-1 officially entered the star field of planet X-18. At first glance, this star field does not seem to have just experienced a war that wiped out the entire planet. He is as deep and peaceful as ever.
"From now on, you must pay attention to every step forward." Yu Xiuyuan reminded aloud in the video.
"No Zerg was found ahead." Sheng Heng replied.
The battleship continued to move forward, until only 20 minutes away from the X-18 planet, they finally reached the Zerg.
Countless zergs hovered outside the atmosphere of planet X-18, like a group of black flies guarding a piece of fat. When the spacecraft approached, they seemed to have alarmed them, and in an instant, countless pairs of scarlet eyes stared at them.
At the same time, Yu Xiuyuan and the others in the command room saw this scene. Almost at the same time, everyone's brows were tightened. So many zergs, how can they go in to inquire about the truth? I am afraid that the bones of the ancestors of these zergs will not be left before they see the worm emperor.
"You come back." With a sigh, Yu Xiuyuan decisively ordered.
Sheng Zhuo thought the same way, but he still turned his head and glanced at Sheng Heng.
"I apply for a try." Sheng Heng still insisted on going.
"Sheng Heng?!" Yu Xiuyuan couldn't help but yelled, "You don't want to die in vain."
"Marshal, I am not going to die in vain. My mecha speed is faster than the speed of ordinary Zerg flying, and my mental power can suppress most low-level Zerg. If the situation is not right, I can retreat immediately, they can't catch up. Me." Sheng Heng calmly analyzed.
Yu Xiuyuan was still hesitating.
"Let him go." Admiral Sheng, who had been silent on the channel, said at this time, "Sheng Heng is not a rash person. He said that he should be able to do it if he is sure."
Seeing that General Sheng said so, Yu Xiuyuan reluctantly agreed: "Okay, but if there is something wrong, I will retreat immediately."
"Yes." Sheng Heng replied happily, then turned his head and nodded to his elder brother, and then walked out quickly.
Sheng Zhuo opened the door to the outside after Sheng Heng left. Sheng Heng leaped out of the battleship in his mecha, staring at the group of zergs staring at him with dreadful eyes. At the same time, the mental power dissipated, urging the mental power on the mecha and Xuan Ming spear to the maximum, and then slowly flew towards the X-18 planet.
Inside the battleship, in the command room, everyone watched this scene with breathlessness.
Everyone watched Sheng Heng's mecha getting closer and closer, and finally the group of Zerg watching Sheng Heng approaching moved. But they didn't rush over to besiege Sheng Heng, on the contrary, they were retreating in a tumult, and they retreated in a uniform manner.
This scene exceeded everyone's expectations. Why the Zerg would retreat? This can be explained as the Zerg's fear of Sheng Heng. Sheng Heng's mental power can deter the low-level zerg, they know this, but the low-level zerg who were stunned in the past were either scared and froze in place, or fleeing in panic like a headless fly, how could it be like this? Retreat like complicated disciplinary forces.
The IQ of this batch of Zerg is very high.
Almost at the same time, this thought came to everyone's mind. During this period of time, from the earliest Zerg race that has been lingering around the periphery of the Federation, to the Zerg race brought out by the emergence of mutant worms, and this batch of worm kings appeared in front of them. Zerg. It seems that batches have higher IQs than batches.
Seeing this scene before him, Sheng Heng did not dare to venture further. If it was a group of Zerg with low IQ, he was confident that he would still have a chance to escape, but if it was a group of Zerg with wisdom, Sheng Heng lost his confidence.
Just when he was hesitating whether to go or stay, a powerful and vast spiritual force suddenly surged from the direction of planet X-18.
Worm King? !
Sheng Heng suddenly raised his head, and subconsciously turned around to flee.
[Don't go. 】
Sheng Heng paused suddenly, and once again raised his head to look in the direction where the insect emperor flew, his eyes were thick and unbelievable.
Was the insect emperor talking to himself through mental power just now?
[Are you the emperor of insects? ] Almost subconsciously, Sheng Heng replied in the same way.
【it's me. 】
At this time, the huge body of the insect emperor had appeared in the sight of everyone, Sheng Zhuo changed color in amazement, and hurriedly shouted to Sheng Heng through the internal channel: "Sheng Heng is back, the insect emperor has appeared."
Sheng Heng still stood still as if he hadn't heard it.
"Sheng Heng! Did you hear that, you come back for me!" Sheng Zhuo shouted over and over again, wishing he could also rush out in his mecha. Just when he was about to blast the energy cannon in the direction of the insect emperor at all costs, Sheng Heng, who had been facing away from him in front of him, suddenly raised his right hand and made a wait gesture towards him.
Sheng Zhuo didn't understand why Sheng Heng wanted him to wait, but he reluctantly calmed down based on his trust in Sheng Heng, but he still watched the front tense, intending to activate the energy cannon on the Tianhe 1 battleship as soon as he found danger. .
Sheng Heng knew that the insect emperor's mental power was very strong, and he had guessed that its IQ would be very high, but he never expected that the insect emperor could speak.
[Why are you invading our planet? ] Sheng Heng couldn't help asking.
[I thought you had already guessed it. 】The insect emperor has flown to the front of the insect swarm, and a pair of golden eyes are looking straight at Sheng Heng. There should be expression on its face, but the micro-expression across species is really hard to understand, Sheng Heng He could only vaguely distinguish that the facial expression of the insect king was different from that of other zergs, but he couldn't judge what emotion he expressed.
[Reproduction and evolution? ] Sheng Heng Dao.
[That's right. 】
[Is it possible to give up? ] Sheng Heng asked with luck.
[In order to find your star field, I wandered in the universe for a full one hundred years. During this one hundred years, I ate half of my own race. For the sake of self-cultivation, I slept for three hundred years. I have spent so much time and paid such a high price before I have reached the stage of differentiation. Why should I give up? 】Insect King Road.
[You are indeed strong, but we could hurt you badly three hundred years ago...]
【Three hundred years ago you could hurt me badly because I wandered in the universe before and consumed a lot of energy. Otherwise, with your low-level civilization, you can survive in front of my race for three hundred years? 】
Lower civilization? Sheng Heng's eyes flickered, could it be that the opponent came from a higher civilization.
[Yes, I come from a civilization that is one level higher than yours. 】Insect King Road.
How does he know what he is thinking, is it because of the spiritual communication?
[Yes, this is called idea communication. When the mental powers of the two are connected, as long as the other party does not shield the idea, both parties in the connection can know what the other party is thinking. ] Chonghuang once again puzzled.
Mind blocking? This should be a way of using spiritual power. If the worm emperor really comes from a civilization that is one level higher than the federation, then that civilization must be stronger in the development of spiritual power than the federation. Such as mind shielding, even wormholes...
[You are indeed very smart, you are right. 】
Sheng Heng saw that the other party could hear no matter what he thought, so he simply asked directly: [What is the difference in spiritual power between us? 】
[Want to assess the strength gap between us, and then make a plan to defeat me? 】
【Yes. 】Anyway, the other party would know without saying, Sheng Heng simply admitted.
[Don't waste your efforts, your development of mental power is still at the most basic level, the mecha has just touched the side of the biological mecha, no matter how hard you struggle, it can't be my opponent. 】
[If you are really so strong, why do you want to come out and talk so much to me, can't you just launch an attack? Asked Sheng Heng.
[Because I want to give you a chance. 】Insect King Road.
Chance?
[Didn't you just say that you will not give up the occupation of the Federation? 】
[But I can't kill you all. 】
【What's the meaning? 】
[I want to eat you. 】
Sheng Heng's eyes flickered, but he was not surprised. Scientists have long discovered that the more advanced the zerg, the more likely it is to eat humans with higher mental power. It is reasonable for the worm emperor to want to eat him.
[Related to your way of evolution? Asked Sheng Heng.
【good. If you want to come, you have also discovered that the higher the level of things our Zerg swallows, the faster the evolution. And the strength of the spiritual power level is one of the conditions for us to classify the species level. You should be the highest spiritual power level on this planet. If I eat you, I can complete the differentiation. 】
[What is differentiation? 】
[Humanity, you have been trying to inquire about our clan from the beginning until now. 】
Sheng Heng didn't panic at all being dismantled: [If you don't want to say, I will ask for nothing. 】
[Yes, it's okay to tell you. The differentiation period is the ultimate form of evolution of our race. Once the differentiation is completed, the offspring that I reproduce afterwards will have high-level wisdom. 】Insect King Road.
Sheng Heng was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at the zergs neatly arranged behind the worm emperor in shock. If these zergs also possess wisdom equivalent to humans, then...
【impossible! ] Sheng Heng refused without thinking.
[Why make such anxious decision, you are a soldier, as long as I attack your planet without listening, you will definitely appear in front of me, and it will be a matter of time before I eat you. 】
[Then you ate me on the battlefield, so why bother. 】
[That would be too wasteful. If I eat you, I will be able to enter the differentiation period immediately, so that the nutrients I need will be reduced. If the conditions are good, until I reproduce a certain number of offspring, you humans may still be left. Not a small part. But if you die late, and I will not split until the later stage, then the human beings who die before you die can only be food for these inferior products, and death is worthless. 】Insect King Road.
Sheng Heng clenched his fist tightly, and the Xuan Ming spear in his hand trembled uncontrollably, revealing his inner anger.
[But in no hurry, you can go back and think slowly, but you have to remember that the longer you think, the more meaningless deaths will be. It only took me less than half an hour to invade the planet behind me. At the rate of half an hour for each planet, plus the time consumed by my wormhole opening, I was able to invade about six planets a day. 】
This is a blatant threat.
[If you agree, I allow you to designate a planet, and you can put all the people you want to protect on it, and I promise you that you will never kill them. 】The insect emperor's way of kindness.
[But the person I want to protect cannot fit on a planet. 】
[That allows you two planets. ] Chonghuang said generously.
[What I want to protect is the entire federation. 】
[Humans, don't get into an inch. 】
[You said that you come from a civilization higher than ours, but you are the only highly intelligent individual in the entire ethnic group. Is it because your civilization has been completely destroyed by people? Chonghuang did not answer, but Sheng Heng felt a slight mental fluctuation.
Sheng Heng knew that he was right, he laughed and said: [I guessed it right, you are the last worm of your civilization, you have done so much just to reproduce your civilization. 】
[So what? A low-level civilization like you should be honored to be the nourishment for our rejuvenation. 】The condescending way of the insect emperor's residence.
[For so many years, in order to rejuvenate civilization, you have been reproducing offspring. It is a complete reproductive tool. 】
【What did you say? 】Insect King's pitch sharply increased.
[I said, you are really a poor worm. After Sheng Heng finished speaking, he fleeed quickly while manipulating the mecha, and while escaping, he called Sheng Zhuo loudly, "Big Brother, it's now."
Sheng Zhuo immediately realized that the Tianhe No. 1 battleship, which had already targeted the insect emperor, began to accumulate energy.
The insect emperor rushed out, but was bombarded by the Tianhe No. 1 battleship and had to avoid it. It did so sensitively, but the group of insects behind it could not dodge, most of them were here. Annihilated into ashes in the cannon.
Sheng Heng took this opportunity to return to the inside of the battleship smoothly. The two of them kept on turning, and then they turned around as a space jump, and disappeared into the star field of planet X-18 in a blink of an eye.
Behind him, the insect emperor roared angrily, the powerful mental power distorted the space, and countless small spaces turbulently gathered on its side, and after a while, a large space wormhole was formed, and the insect emperor plunged into it.
