| ← Ch.0470 | Ch.0472 → |
If it weren't for the fact that Leng Xing, the Wailing Demon, and other experts had fought back the insects at this critical moment, the number of casualties would have been even more terrifying.
Looking at the orderly evacuation of the arachnids, many people revealed expressions of living ghosts.
Was this still the Cosmic Zerg they remembered?
Those low-level, dirty, undisciplined arachnid armies?
Inside the warship, Kong Yun's expression was gloomy.
These sinister insects were simply too much to endure!
The humans' previous victories weren't fake. Every defeat of the Arachnids was accompanied by the deaths of countless Arachnid warriors.
However, no matter how large the number of arachnids was, such consumption was not something that could be easily absorbed.
That was why the human experts believed that the arachnids were at the end of their rope, so they let go of their vigilance and began to slaughter wantonly.
However, the Arachnids of the Universe launched an extremely powerful counterattack at a time when the aura of the human race was at its peak. The humans had lost dozens of Starfield Masters in an instant. Compared to such a battle result, the ordinary warriors that the Arachnids had lost before were nothing to worry about.
One had to know that the value of every Starfield Lord was immeasurable. As long as they were given time, they could completely annihilate an army of hundreds of millions of arachnids on their own!
Kong Yun couldn't help but blame himself for this. Actually, he had already noticed some clues, but the arachnids were hiding too deeply. Furthermore, he never expected that there were so many humanoid arachnids in the wormhole.
Hulai 's expression was similarly unsightly. Among the fallen Starfield Masters, there was a student that she was very optimistic about.
She hated the Cosmos Zerg to the extreme. Although she had an advanced medical team, her arm hadn't fully recovered, so she hadn't participated in the recent battles.
Right now, she only wanted to charge into the wormhole and start a massacre!
"Senior Hulai, Senior Kong Yun, Director Zhan Tai, please go to the conference hall to discuss." The voice of a messenger rang out from outside the door. The voice contained anxiety and fear. This sudden incident finally made people realize the horror of the The universe 's insects.
By the time Kong Yun and Hulai arrived at the conference hall, Old Man Zhan Tai and the other Starfield Masters had already arrived. Rose stood in the middle, as if she had just finished speaking.
Even though the expressions of the human experts weren't panic-stricken, they were all extremely solemn.
"Kong Yun, you came at the right time. Tell me what you think about the operation of the arachnid race." Old man Zhan Tai said when he saw the two of them arrive.
Kong Yun was somewhat surprised. There were many experts here, and their seniority was much higher than his own. However, he was never a stage fearful person. Moreover, he knew more about the Zerg race than anyone else present.
"I think this long-planned assassination is likely to represent a signal."
Looking at the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, Kong Yun explained, "Obviously, there weren't so many humanoid arachnids appearing overnight."
"You have to know that every human-shaped arachnid is equivalent to a human's Starfield Master. With the existence of these experts, the arachnid army is the real army."
Many people deeply believed that during today's battle, the originally separate arachnids had suddenly cooperated, and many people could even see the smell of arranging troops.
It was as if a mob had suddenly been led by a general.
"Compared to the arachnids, what are the advantages of us humans? The number of peak experts and our high level of intelligence!"
"However, now that the arachnids have the ability to parasitize, the gap between the number of peak experts is gradually narrowing. If they are allowed to continue to develop, they will even surpass humans."
Kong Yun's expression was extremely solemn."And now the Arachnid army has become more disciplined and is no weaker than our warriors. In fact, our situation is not optimistic."
"Today is just our carelessness! If we fight again, we might not lose!" Some Starfield Lords were unconvinced.
"That's right!"
"Furthermore, we still have Director Zhan Tai here. Their so-called experts are nothing more than chickens and dogs in front of the Director."
Quite a few people voiced their opposition.
In their eyes, Kong Yun's words were too serious. Even though his analysis was reasonable, it was inevitable that he would be suspected of destroying his own prestige by increasing the ambition of others.
"What do you mean by signal?"
Suddenly, a cold voice came to mind in the hall. Leng Xing spoke.
As soon as he spoke, the temperature in the conference hall seemed to have dropped, and the crowd that had just boiled gradually calmed down.
Kong Yun looked in the direction of Leng Xing. That was a handsome young man with black hair and blue pupils. It seemed that his prestige among the Starfield Masters was extremely high, and he was also one of the few people that Kong Yun could not see through.
"I don't know."
Leng Xing narrowed his eyes and gradually emitted a dangerous aura. Kong Yun's reply made him feel as if he had been tricked.
Before he could say anything, someone shouted, "Then what's the use of talking here for a long time? Why can't I see any sign of it?"
Kong Yun ignored the shouts. He looked around and asked the Starfield Masters, "Since the Arachnids in the The universe have the ability to launch an attack like today, why have they been so slow to let us slaughter the Arachnid army?"
"Before your reinforcements, Hulai, Rose, and I were fighting the arachnids every day."
Kong Yun's words were casual, but they sounded like thunder to everyone.
Many people's eyes were filled with disbelief.
Just the few of you fighting against such an arachnid?
The arachnids that they had just realized were powerful, and they were completely unable to imagine what Kong Yun and the others had experienced during that period of time.
Originally, Hulai 's severed arm had been privately discussed by many people. A grand cosmic powerhouse was actually injured to such an extent by such an arachne. Now, it seemed that the severed arm had become Kong Yun's strongest evidence.
Kong Yun's words continued, "I don't know what the Cosmic Arachnids are waiting for, but what is certain is that they have already waited for what they want. Without a doubt, the next battle will be even harder. Apart from the current Arachnids, we may have to guard against even more powerful and unknown enemies."
This time, no one objected. Kong Yun's words were reasonable and convincing.
"Then do you have any way to deal with it? If we encounter a bug nest, what should we do?"
Before Kong Yun's arrival, Rose had already told them about the bug sac that Kong Yun had encountered before. Originally, the Starfield Masters didn't care much about it, but now, someone couldn't help but ask.
"Let's fight together." Kong Yun said his plan without hesitation.
This was the result of his careful consideration. He had said so much before, and that was what he really wanted to say.
"There are too few data on the bug sac. I haven't come up with a way to deal with it yet, but nothing is invincible. As long as we are vigilant, the bug sac will also have traces to follow."
"Several Starfield Lords will fight together. They shouldn't be too far away. Once they discover that someone is in danger, they can quickly rescue them. Don't give the arachnids a chance to break through one by one."
Before Kong Yun could finish speaking, many Starfield Masters frowned. One had to know that each of them was an existence that dominated the entire The universe. This time, fighting against the The universe 's insects at the same time was already considered a sacrifice. Now, it was more or less difficult for them to cooperate in the battle.
This was secondary. The main point was that the number of reinforcements this time wasn't many. Once they fought together, they wouldn't be able to seal off the entire Star System.
With the mobility of the arachnids, it was easy for them to break through the human defense line.
Kong Yun seemed to have seen the doubts of the crowd. He did not say anything, but stretched out his right hand. Pure elemental energy gathered in front of him, forming a screen-like light screen.
Everyone looked over and saw a battleship and a huge willow tree on it.
"It's that willow tree!"
Someone recalled the scene when they first arrived. Thousands of willows were dancing in front of the wormhole, and every single insect that tried to charge out was pierced through. The willow branches that covered the sky and the sun were like a large net, firmly intercepting the insects.
"The willow tree can split into countless willow branches, each of which has the strength of a Void Entrance Realm expert. Previously, it was only by relying on it that the few of us were able to successfully stop the arachnids."
"And this battleship ..."
Hulai suddenly took it and said, "Very strong! This is my work. It's almost finished in this period of time. You don't have to worry about its power."
Actually, in the The universe, Hulai 's identity as a mad scientist was better known than her identity as a cosmic powerhouse. With her assurance, no one would doubt the strength of this battleship.
Kong Yun nodded to Hulai and said, "As long as we cooperate with them, we can block the The universe 's arachnids from the human domain to the maximum extent possible."
At this point, Kong Yun suddenly revealed a smile and looked at Old Man Zhan Tai."Besides, we still have a great spatial sage here. Even if the arachnid race has anything to do with us, just leave it to him, " he said.
Old man Zhan Tai almost rolled his eyes at Kong Yun. Does this brat know what it means to respect the old and love the young? I knew I was after this old bones of his.
However, Kong Yun had already said what he wanted, so he could only reply, "Well, if it's necessary, I will take action."
Hearing this, the atmosphere in the hall relaxed a lot.
A sage was a true expert standing at the top of humanity. No matter how brilliant Kong Yun's words were, no matter how exquisite his schemes were, they could not compare to Old Man Zhan Tai's words that made people feel at ease.
"I will cooperate." After a moment of silence, Leng Xing spoke again. After that, he turned around and left.
Leng Xing was the strongest amongst the Star System Masters. Although he didn't care about it, he did have a faint lead. At this moment, Leng Xing agreed with Kong Yun's words. In addition, Dean Zhan Tai didn't object. Naturally, the crowd had no reason to resist.
The Starfield Masters all agreed and left.
When the crowd completely dispersed, the smile on Kong Yun's face slowly disappeared. At this moment, only Hulai, Rose, Old Man Zhan Tai, and himself were left in the hall. He no longer had to show them to others.
