Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station-Chapter 517 - 171: The Reappearance of the Thorn Insect Race_4
Two questions suddenly appeared in Chen Ming’s mind, circling around him, making him completely unable to understand.
While Chen Ming was completely unable to think of an answer.
The battle between the Thorn Insect Race and the Mechanical Race continued.
In the Thorn Insect Race, besides the most numerous Striding Insects.
There were also some smaller insect races that looked like beetles.
And larger ones, over three meters tall, with a considerable number of limbs, emerging from the tunnels they dug, joining the battlefield, throwing themselves madly at the Mechanical Race.
Although the insects at the forefront charged mindlessly, the Bubble Insects in the rear were entirely different.
They were very clever, skirting the edges of the battlefield, dispersedly arranged, yet could unify their acidic sprays on a single target.
This acid, somewhat different in color from what Chen Ming had seen before, could even melt White Cloud Steel.
These Thorn Insect Races seemed to share the hive mentality like the Mechanical Race.
Despite their large numbers and extreme craziness during movement.
The numbers of the Mechanical Race within the city were equally large, and they were entirely indifferent to the insects’ madness.
They merely, as cold machines, slaughtered the Thorn Insect Race invading their city.
In addition to the Static Mantis long-distance combat units armed with Electromagnetic Spears that Chen Ming had seen, the Mechanical Race, like the insect race, also had melee combat units.
Especially one similar to the Static Mantis controlled by Chen Ming, also having a human-mantis hybrid appearance, but more like a mantis mechanical body.
Its arm parts extended into blades with a light blue translucent appearance, like mantis scythes.
Simultaneously, it had auxiliary wings and jet vents like a real mantis on its back.
Enabling it to maintain strong instantaneous burst speed while keeping its balance.
With terrifying speed and sharp weapons, this type of Mechanical Race could slice through several insects’ bodies in a flash.
Even the largest multi-limbed insects could be halved instantly.
Aside from this seemingly lightweight Static Mantis variant being able to gain the upper hand in melee combat with these gigantic insects.
The Mechanical Race had more, much more powerful machines.
For instance, a large mechanical body about four to five meters in height.
With an appearance like a mammoth, four extremely sturdy lower limbs, and two giant mechanical forelimbs waving in front, it could charge against the surging insect tide like a tank.
It could easily crush all insects blocking its path.
However, there were more mechanical bodies, mainly those holding thermal weapons like the Static Mantis or other types of the Mechanical Race.
They were truly the main force in clearing the external insects.
These long-distance combat units could easily target the Bubble Insects hiding among the insect swarm, precisely executing these insect race long-distance combat units.
Although insect races had strong physical capabilities and could easily kill humans, their flesh could only be easily crushed in front of the Mechanical Race’s steel.
Once they dealt with these materials that could threaten White Cloud Steel, the Mechanical Race would undoubtedly gain the upper hand.
The battle gradually began to affect the area where Chen Ming’s robot was hiding. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Forcing Chen Ming to drive the robot further into the city, away from the trouble.
He quickly found another collapsed building, within which grew a lush tree, perfect for hiding.
Allowing Chen Ming to observe the battlefield situation more precisely.
Anyone could see from the battle between the Mechanical Race and the Thorn Insect Race that the attack capability of the Mechanical Race was in a completely different league.
But as Chen Ming reached a higher vantage point to observe the battlefield, he discovered the number of fallen Mechanical Race units compared to the insect race was almost 1:2.
This was clearly abnormal.
Chen Ming hurriedly focused more on his observation.
He then discovered something peculiar.
The muscle beneath the brown shells of the Thorn Insect Race was gray-green, spurting out gray-green blood when injured.
The insects seemed to have high blood pressure, easily spraying this gray-green blood several meters.
And once this gray-green blood covered the Mechanical Race.
Even without any external damage or electrical leakage.
The Mechanical Race would gradually lose combat efficiency, showing anomalies in controlling their equipment and devices.
It was precisely because of this blood that the insects could barely drag their battle loss ratio to 2:1.
This blood, there was something wrong with it.
