Traveler of the River of Time and Space-Chapter 542 - 26: Capturing the Empress 2

The alien insects did not pursue the suddenly appearing Su Ziyu.

Thus, this gave him the opportunity for a calm retreat. After carrying Empress Isabella on his shoulder, Su Ziyu accelerated and dashed out hundreds of meters away. Then, he activated Telekinesis Burst, relying on it to swiftly fly and leave the battlefield, diving into the dense forest in the distance.

The battle with the insect swarm continued.

At the moment Su Ziyu glanced back before entering the forest, he saw the rapidly proliferating flesh organ on the distant highland. Below was a dark green, semi-transparent meat membrane, and above it was a huge, living alien insect head. The front keratin layer extended like a cannon mouth device, while below, blood vessels connected deep underground, seemingly extracting some kind of nutrient.

——"Spore Cannon! [Building Unit]"

No one knew when, but the entire battlefield was covered by a layer of green and purple fungus carpet. The alien insects started to construct their building units right in front of the prehistoric abomination, and their construction speed was incredibly fast, nearly completing about one-third in no time.

"Is the insect mother determined to kill it?" Su Ziyu silently thought.

——Spiritual Protection Field.

Su Ziyu casually set down Empress Isabella from his shoulder and began to search her.

Crack.

With a light sound, Su Ziyu opened the blood-red interstellar armor of Empress Isabella, directly grabbing one of her legs and roughly stripping her helmet and chest armor.

Big.

Inside, Empress Isabella wore a tight black combat outfit, adorned with bluish electronic patterns, resembling the enhanced combat suit Su Ziyu had seen on Jian. But it was undoubtedly a more advanced equipment. Su Ziyu, without any hesitation, tore off her black combat outfit as well, suddenly unveiling a vacuum scene before his eyes.

The Empress had a rather broad view, and Su Ziyu unceremoniously stripped all equipment from her body, then took out clothing from his other-dimensional storage space and tossed it onto her.

The situation was urgent.

Su Ziyu certainly had no time to dress her.

——"High Tier Sacred Blood Armor [High Tier Legendary]: Advanced interstellar armor from the Ancient Lost Empire, with exoskeleton devices that can adjust size to a certain extent, made from unknown superconducting alloy, offering outstanding performance adaptable to most environments. Attributes: Legendary Damage Immunity (physical), high tier energy absorption, enhanced mind protection, AI intelligent assistance combat core, environmental adaptation, temperature regulation, power amplification, agility amplification."

——"Superconducting Nanomaterial Combat Suit [Legendary]: A superconducting combat suit made using advanced nanotechnology, capable of resisting vast kinetic damage and featuring energy absorption function. Attributes: Power Enhancement, Agility Enhancement, Superconducting Neural Reflex, Temperature Regulation, Mind Protection, Connectable Nanoneural Bundle Implant."

At the neck area of the combat suit was a peculiar spiritual interface. Su Ziyu turned Empress Isabella over and found a barely visible red dot beneath her neck.

It looked like a small red mole, but it certainly wasn’t simple.

After obtaining the items, Su Ziyu hesitated for a moment, applied a Spiritual Protection Field nearby, and then headed toward the forest.

The real big boss hadn’t been eliminated yet.

At this time, he definitely couldn’t leave. If the insect swarm could defeat the prehistoric abomination, that would be ideal. But if they couldn’t, Su Ziyu might have to intervene.

Holding the Scepter of the Mind in his hands, Su Ziyu distinctly felt his spiritual energy becoming more active. His recovery speed significantly increased, and the mind reading skill embedded on the scepter could capture simple thought waves. However, the thought waves of the insect swarm were too complex to extract anything useful.

Boom.

In the distance, upon completion, the Spore Cannon automatically rotated its muzzle to aim at the prehistoric monstrosity in front.

Round after round of artillery shells were launched successively.

Not only enveloping the enemy in the range of firepower but the nearby insect swarm also suffered the attack, seemingly indifferent to the casualties.

"Alert!"

"Unknown alien insect units approaching."

As the prompt from the Space-Time Monitor System appeared, Su Ziyu momentarily sensed something underground approaching.

Meanwhile.

The ground at the northwest of the rebel base plantation zone suddenly collapsed, and in the startled eyes of the rebel workers, a gigantic insect with a blue-black shell emerged, merely glanced at the distant rebels, then swiftly advanced toward the surface. Its segments, over three meters long, sliced through the concrete like tofu, revealing over ten segments just outside the rebel base.

Rumble!

In the central battlefield, a large chunk of the ground suddenly swelled, accompanied by a gush of crimson mucus. Instantly, a gigantic head emerged from the underground, its sharp oral appendage biting toward the prehistoric abomination. Simultaneously, the central ground of the battlefield partly collapsed, unveiling a massive body of over fifty meters.

——"Ashen Insect! [Indigenous Alien Insect][Leader]"

This suddenly appearing alien insect was distinct from other insect races; it possessed independent thought waves and a spiritual ability field surpassing other units.

"Zack-Ash!"

"The insect mother commands you to lead your swarm to annihilate it!..."

The mind telepathy of the brain insect sounded.

As the brain insect’s spiritual fluctuation transmitted, the ground abruptly sank, and a huge alien insect with dark blue shell and sharp spikes and oral features from its head appeared. The liquid they spat seemed as hot as lava.

These appeared to be wild, naturally evolved insect races, conquered by the insect mother and becoming its subsidiary swarms.

"Approaching eighth level spiritual energy." Su Ziyu quietly returned to the battlefield again.

"No, there’s another insect! Where is it?"

Just as Su Ziyu vaguely sensed something, trying to trace its presence, suddenly behind the prehistoric abomination flashed a shadowy figure. It had a humanoid form completely distinct from other alien insects, with a head closely resembling human at approximately 70% similarity, tendril-like whips at the back of the skull, and a thick cyan-purple arm with insectoid segments.

Its figure suddenly appeared, accompanied by a shadowy light, as the prehistoric abomination in the distance let out a shriek, followed by a withered human arm falling from the air.

Light blade?

At this point, Su Ziyu realized the human-formed alien insect wielded a Plasma Light Blade, twining its touch on the weapon hilt, the blade emitted a shadowy glow, triggered by insect race spiritual energy.

——"Shadow Stalker! [Parasite][Elite]"
