Chapter 1307: Go straight to the point
"I see..." Li Shuying suddenly realized: "So, as long as we find the mother insect and kill it, we can destroy the mobility of at least tens of thousands of insect soldiers?"
“Theoretically speaking, that’s how it is,” Ye Ge said. “Among the trillions of insects in front of us, there are at least hundreds of thousands of ordinary queen insects and thousands of advanced queen insects.”
"This..." General Jinlong was somewhat shocked and couldn't help but ask, "Lord Yege, forgive my impertinence, but I would like to ask... why do you have such a deep understanding of the Zerg army's tactics?"
He had never heard of such a secret before; it was definitely the highest-level secret within the Zerg!
Nightsong is a human, and theoretically he should have no connection with the Zerg, so how did he find out?
"Oh, this..." Ye Ge touched his nose and made up a story on the spot: "I saw it in an ancient book of the human race."
"Ancient texts?" General Jinlong was taken aback. After careful recollection, he realized that the ancient human race did not seem to have any record of large-scale battles with the insectoid race...
"What kind of ancient book is it? Who is the author's name?... "
"There is no title and no author."
Ye Ge said in a serious tone, "It's probably an ancestor who doesn't want to reveal his name."
General Jinlong frowned slightly: "An ancestor who wished to remain anonymous..."
"However, even though we know the enemy's combat patterns, how do we find the mother insect in the vast sea of insects?" Ququ pondered for a long time before asking.
“It’s not that easy,” Ye Ge said. “To protect the mother insect, the swarm will stack the mother insect at the bottom, which is the core area at the bottom of that hundreds-of-meters-high sea of insects.”
Jiang Xiaoming exclaimed in astonishment: "To find the mother insect, wouldn't we have to kill all the outer soldier insects first???"
The Flame Dragon Mage Captain beside him sneered: "In the end, if we don't clear out the outer insect soldiers, we still won't be able to find the mother insect at all. What's the use of your intelligence then?"
Ye Ge downloaded the Ghost Slayer Blade and the Light-Separating Sword from the system inventory and said calmly, "Of course I know that even if your dragon race knew the information, they would be powerless to do anything. That's why I just said that I never intended to ask for your help, did I?"
General Jinlong pondered for a moment, then frowned and said, "You don't intend to... go straight to the point, do you?"
Night Song: "Is it not allowed?"
"Holy crap!" Jiang Xiaoming hurriedly tried to dissuade him, "Ye Ge, don't be impulsive..."
Gao Shenxue then said, "I'll go with you."
Xia Xiyao immediately chimed in, "Me too! Me too!"
Night Song chuckled and shook his head: "None of you need to go. It will be of no use. You are not familiar with the Zerg's formation patterns, and you won't be able to find the mother Zerg even if you go deep into the Zerg swarm."
As he spoke, he looked at Bai Xueling and said, "Lingling, just transform into your cat form and come with me."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xueling swayed and instantly transformed from human form into a nimble black cat, lightly leaping onto Ye Ge's shoulder.
General Jinlong thought for a moment: "Then, do you need any fire support from us?"
"No need, you can just watch."
After saying that, Ye Ge suddenly unleashed the power of the Vermilion Bird!
Deep red holy fire surged forth from his body, coiling and flowing like a living thing.
The flames first transformed into fleeting vortices, then condensed into liquid-like streams of fire, finally solidifying into a dense and blazing cloak of flames. This cloak displayed magnificent Vermilion Bird patterns, its fiery feathers swirling and radiating a chilling pressure, completely enveloping Ye Ge, revealing only a pair of sharp, eagle-like eyes!
General Jinlong's heart skipped a beat.
This is...
The power of the Vermilion Bird?!
Gao Shenxue thought to herself, "So that's how it is..."
He wrapped his entire body in a fluid flame coat, making it difficult for fire-eating ants to approach.
Moreover, while those fire-eating ants can devour ordinary walls of flame, they may not be able to devour the Holy Spirit True Fire.
"Snap... Crack—!"
At this moment, the Dragon Flame Barrier finally gave way and shattered!
“Clatter, clatter…”
A terrifying swarm of insects, hundreds of meters high, broke through the barrier like a flood and rushed towards the city wall!
Ye Ge took a deep breath, his gaze sharp as lightning as he stared at the terrifying sea of insects. He gripped his sword tightly with both hands, pushed off the ground with his toes, and leaped off the city wall like an arrow!
Enveloped in the true fire of the Holy Spirit, he was like a burning meteor, charging straight into the sea of insects without hesitation!
"Sir! Be careful!"
Li Shuying couldn't help but say.
"Boom-"
"Divine Spell - Time Travel!"
Night Song's figure blurred instantly; empowered by both divine and holy power, his speed surpassed its limits. The twin blades in his hands trailed brilliant streaks of light as they shot towards the swarm of insects like lightning!
In his vision, the whole world seemed to slow down. The waving limbs and opening and closing mouthparts of the insect swarm became slow and clear.
"Shh-"
He vanished in a flash with two streaks of light, disappearing into the depths of the insect sea in the blink of an eye!
"The...Master is missing???"
Arthur stood on the city wall and said in astonishment.
Xia Xiyao gazed anxiously at the sea of insects, her eyes searching around frantically, trying to find Ye Ge's figure amidst the surging tide of insects.
However, the swarm of insects, which came like a tsunami, seemed to be unimpeded and continued to advance steadily toward the city wall!
After observing carefully for a while, the Flame Dragon Mage Captain saw that the swarm of insects showed no signs of stopping its advance. He sneered, "I told you long ago, how could one person possibly stop a horde of insects? That's just wishful thinking!"
General Jinlong frowned.
"General! The swarm of insects is coming!" a golden dragon guard behind him reported urgently.
The captain of the Flame Dragon Mage team urged, "General, it seems that person is unreliable. We must immediately suppress the firepower! Otherwise, the swarm of insects will rush over! Now that the Dragon Flame Barrier has been broken, we can only use large-scale fire spells! This way, before the swarm enters the outer city walls and engages in the final melee, we can still inflict some effective damage!"
"Hey!" Bai Qing shouted angrily, "Our Lord Ye Ge has already ventured deep into the insect swarm. By unleashing large-scale magic at this moment, aren't you including our Lord in the attack?!"
"There's nothing we can do about it." The Flame Dragon Mage Captain sneered. "He insisted on charging in himself, so who can we blame?! I just said, that's a swarm of insects numbering in the trillions! How could one person possibly stop the advance of such a swarm?!"
"You!..." Bai Qing, Li Shuying, Arthur and the others looked at him with some anger.
Yu Li and Qu Qu both looked worried.
"General, hurry! The swarm of insects is closing in! They're less than a kilometer away!" the Flame Dragon Mage Captain said anxiously.
General Jinlong gripped his sword with a subtle tightening, his imposing face filled with worry, his brows furrowed deeply.
"..."
"...It's too late!" Seeing this, the Flame Dragon Mage Captain bypassed the Golden Dragon General and ordered the other mages behind him, "Form ranks! Prepare to cast the eleventh-tier combined dragon soul spell, I..."
"Om-!"
Before the words were finished, a sharp whooshing sound suddenly rang out!
The captain of the Flame Dragon Mage's pupils shrank sharply, his eyes widening in disbelief.
His body froze instantly, and he dared not move an inch...
A Herka mechanical sword was now hovering in front of his neck, its sharp tip pressed against his skin!
The Flame Dragon Mage and the Dragon Guards present were all stunned.
Gao Shenxue stood expressionless a short distance away, her slender white arm slightly raised, her jade-like finger pointing at the Flame Dragon Mage Captain. The Herka mechanical sword trembled slightly under her remote control, its blade pressed against the opponent's neck, already drawing a scarlet line of blood.
