The number of senior guides is very small, and most of the sentinels may be difficult to encounter in a lifetime.
However, Academy Star's practical training brings together the best sentinel guides among the younger generation, so the probability of meeting senior guides is naturally greatly increased.
With the guide's mental boost, the sentries all felt that they were in excellent condition, and even their mental bodies were much more active than usual.
Tang Yi's spiritual body spread far away, and the surrounding movements clearly appeared in his perception.
Soon, he felt movement about two to three kilometers away.
"Three kilometers ahead, there's something going on!" Tang Yi warned.
The sentries were all startled. They quickly turned their mental bodies around and explored the first five directions towards the position pointed by Tang Yi.
Zhan Ming looked at Tang Yi with admiration. Even with his mental strength, he could only detect the situation within three kilometers.
The Sentinel's mental body was very fast, and everyone was moving in the direction of the movement. Han Si's mental body was a very ferocious lion, and his reactions were very sharp in such complex mountainous terrain.
Covey's spiritual body, Gold, is not slow at all, and is not any slower than Han Si's Lion.
The two spiritual bodies quickly conveyed the message back.
Han Si's expression changed slightly and his face was very serious: "No! A large area of Zerg was discovered ahead!"
Covey was also shocked and said: "It is the largest locust swarm among the Zerg species!"
When the trainees heard this, their expressions suddenly changed.
Zerg locusts are a kind of low-level Zerg with extremely terrifying numbers. Their name is Billil workers in the book "Introduction to High-Dimensional Zerg Species". They are a kind of gregarious Zerg. Each group of Zerg has two main characters.
The leader of the Zerg race, Locusts are the name given by the Human Alliance based on their appearance, because they resemble ancient earth insects.
The two main insects are one male and one female. They basically appear in pairs, with the female as the main insect and the male as the auxiliary.
Tang Yi didn't know much about alien races. He only had a very general concept of the Zerg. He only knew that this was the alien race that interstellar humans disliked the most.
But at this time, the faces of the trainees were not very good, and we could roughly guess that this wave of Zerg would be difficult to deal with.
Han Si looked very solemn. His last training ended after encountering the Zerg. This time he finally reached this point. The 48 hours in the special area had just begun. He said that he could not repeat the same mistakes.
He immediately spoke quickly: "Locust swarms generally only move in groups and do not disperse. The number of each group is between 2 and 3,000. Their forelimbs have sharp spines and are very aggressive. Just cut off their forelimbs."
Then we can eliminate them.”
A teammate couldn't help but said: "But there are too many of them, and it is too difficult to completely avoid attacks. Moreover, once they are attacked, they will attract their main insects, which is really difficult to deal with."
big trouble,"
Tang Yi asked Nan Xiu in a low voice: "Do you know anything about these insects?"
Nan Xiu nodded and said: "He is right. The Zerg is a race with a multi-level dominance structure. Their levels are very clear. The highest level is the only Zerg Queen, followed by the king insect, the main insect, and the lowest number.
At most, they are worker insects. The master insects can control the insect swarm they belong to through mental fluctuations."
Ji Nanxiu and Ke Wei both knew that Tang Yi's theoretical results were lacking, and they continued to take extra classes before the actual training.
Probably this is the only area where they both think they can be better than Tang Yi.
As expected, the special area is not so easy to enter. Even the executive officer informed us in advance that rescue operations could be carried out three times, which means that it must be very dangerous.
The fact that the Zerg are annoying isn't just a complaint that people make casually, but it's because it's really troublesome to deal with them.
Tang Yi's mental power was monitoring the surroundings, and the locust swarms did not stay in place without any movement. He said loudly: "They are spreading to all directions."
Han Si said vigilantly: "This is the habit of the Zerg occupying territory. There are a large number of worker insects, and each one is related to the mental fluctuations of their master insect. Just like our mental power, we can sense wherever it spreads.
Once one of the worker insects is killed, the main insect will immediately sense it."
It's like a hornet's nest. If you poke it, you will be directly besieged by thousands of insects.
Just thinking about that scene makes my scalp numb!
Tang Yi also found it a bit tricky. He suddenly remembered something and asked: "How many points are there for killing those bugs?"
In the final analysis, the practical training assessment is based on points. Since special areas have a certain degree of difficulty, the points should always be higher.
"The Zerg can be killed. Killing one worker insect is worth 1 point, and killing one main insect is worth 200 points."
The one who spoke was Zhan Ming. He glanced at the trainees and said, "If you encounter other high-dimensional races, you will get extra points if you defeat or repel them."
There are not only Zerg in the special area, but also other high-dimensional races.
Although many of the trainees here are returning trainees, it is basically the first time for them to go deep into special areas.
In fact, having made it this far, they can almost foresee that their further education is definitely guaranteed.
They had never thought about the confrontation with higher-dimensional races before this.
You must know that the strength of high-dimensional races is absolutely comparable to that of high-level armor masters. These trainees don't even have armor parts now. If they really meet other high-dimensional races, they may only be forced to rescue by the executive officer.
Among them, only Tang Yi did not have a deep understanding of other high-dimensional races. He asked curiously: "In addition to the Zerg, are there elves and orcs on Iron Feather Star? Can we repel them?"
How many extra points are there?”
Hearing this, the trainees looked at Tang Yi in horror.
If they hadn't seen Tang Yi's strength, they would definitely think that the person who asked such a question was simply inflated.
Zhan Ming replied calmly: "1000 points for the orcs, 2000 points for the elves."
The trainees took a deep breath.
This is the amount of points you can get just by defeating them!
After so many training sessions, there has never been anyone who can defeat the orcs and elves head-on during the trainee stage!
Han Si took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "But... let's think about how to deal with the Zerg first. With ten of us, we still have a chance of winning against a group of Zerg, and we can get a lot of points."
From this point of view, it is obviously more cost-effective to deal with bugs.
Tang Yi felt the same way: "Han Si, do you have a plan? The points gained from killing the Zerg should be instantaneous points. Points cannot be distributed like the Iron Feather Mine."
Han Si nodded and said: "That's true. The territory occupied by this group of Zerg is just in the direction of our progress. If we don't want to alarm them, unless we go back the same way, I think everyone should be unwilling to give up such a place.
Good chance to remember it, right?"
The trainees nodded one after another.
Han Si continued: "We need to get as many points as possible within 48 hours. There will definitely be other trainees coming in soon, so we must seize the time now. Now, let me divide the work.
.”
"Tang Yi, there are two main insects behind the insect swarm. They are the key to controlling the worker insects. These two main insects have 400 points. Do you think you are interested?"
Han Si asked Tang Yi first.
Tang Yi understood what Han Si meant as soon as he heard this: "Do you want me to hold down the two main insects, and you will deal with all the remaining worker insects?"
Han Si nodded: "Yes, the main locust insect is a female and a male. As long as you deal with the female insect, the male insect will be unable to control the worker insect in order to protect the female insect. In this way, the combat effectiveness of the worker insect will be greatly reduced. The nine of us will
Use all your strength to deal with all the worker insects. One thing you have to pay attention to is that you cannot kill the main insect too early. Once you kill them, the worker insects will directly collapse."
There is no doubt that it is extremely difficult to hold down two main insects.
Han Si said sincerely: "After working together for the past few days, you are the only one among us who has such strength. If rescue is needed, the points can be deducted from mine. Is this allowed? Sir."
Zhan Ming nodded lightly: "Okay."
Tang Yi's eyes narrowed upon seeing this, and his expression instantly became serious: "That's it, I'll deal with the two main bugs, and I'll leave the rest to you!"
The girl is still watching here. He has to show off his strength no matter what, and there is absolutely no way he will let the girl come to the rescue. That would be too embarrassing!
Han Si felt that Tang Yi suddenly became serious, and even his aura became a bit stronger.
He looked at Tang Yi with some confusion, but they were currently in training and taking it seriously was the attitude they should have.
As a result, the trainees cheered up and approached the insect swarm in front of them that was expanding their territory.
As they approached, the trainees carefully concealed their figures, and then nervously observed the situation of the insect swarm.
A single locust wasp was about thirty kilometers long, and its vibrating wings emitted a buzzing sound. Thousands of insects were spread out in a black mass that almost filled the air. Not far behind them, there were indeed two large ones.
A main insect nearly as long as a human.
What surprised Tang Yi was that the main insect of the Zerg tribe seemed to have a human-like body. Although its limbs were still arthropods, its body was slender and curvy like a human body.
The female insect has a pointed and enchanting face, her eyes are compound eyes unique to the Zerg race, the transparent wings behind her back are trembling, and the insect body is stationary in mid-air.
The body of the male insect is bigger and bigger, and the wings are also spread out on the back, loyally guarding the female insect.
They are currently moving forward surrounded by workers. If they notice any abnormal movement, the workers will inquire.
The trainees stared at the swarm of insects with numb scalps, and their expressions were extremely tense.
Tang Yi held Fengwei Tianji in his hand with a calm expression, and turned to gesture to Han Si.
The next second, he suddenly jumped up from the ground and moved very quickly to the direction of the pair of main insects.
At the same time, a soul-stealing arrow shot out like a meteor chasing the moon.
The female insect that was still slowly controlling the progress of the insect swarm was suddenly mercilessly shot through the wing by a flying arrow.
Before the male insect could react, the female insect lost her balance and fell from mid-air.
Chapter completed!
