Last Totem Novel - Chapter 195
Chapter 195 Inspection
Tuoba San spat out a mouthful of blood the moment his sharp knuckles pierced through his body. He gritted his teeth and slowly let go of his right hand. He endured the intense pain and unloaded the weight of his body on his knuckles. Then, he pulled out two explosive grenades from his waist and forcefully bit open the pull ring. He spat out a mouthful of blood phlegm.
“Little Junior Sister! Third Brother is here to accompany you!” He let out a low roar and used all of his strength to stuff the grenade into the gap between the elytra’s wings! Suddenly, his eyes emitted a strange light. There was no fear of death there, only an indescribable attachment.
This admiration, hidden in the deepest depths of his soul, had never been spoken, nor had it been known to anyone. The gap in status and the distance between them made him secretly bury this deep love. Although she had already fallen to the stars, he still remembered the smile in his eyes.
“Boom!” With two loud noises, the entire underground space shook violently, and the sand and stone fell like raindrops. In the darkness, the back of the Abyss Ant Queen was shining with flames. It was falling into madness, hissing out painfully in its eardrums.
When everything returned to normal, the porcupine got up from the ground and shook the sand on its body. Then, it picked up Tuoba San and quickly retreated. The second before the explosion, he pulled Tuoba San off his body and protected him from a calamity.
However, uneven waves rose again and again. The abyssal queen, who had fallen into a rage, raised her huge sickles high up and crushed them crazily. The porcupine hugged the heavy Tuoba San and staggered backwards.
Seeing that the deadly sickle was about to reach his body, the porcupine stared at the queen ant with cracked eyes and let out a roar like a wild beast. However, it would rather die than leave its teammates to flee alone. At this critical moment, a blue light suddenly erupted from the depths of the darkness.
In the blink of an eye, a psionic energy bullet shot out of the sky, bringing with it an immense momentum, causing ripples. “Boom!” With a loud explosion, the queen’s triangular head exploded!
At this moment, the Hegemon of the Abyss within a radius of tens of kilometers let out a profound and long cry of sorrow. In an instant, the tide-like swarm of insects fell into chaos. They tumbled and struggled on the ground, their sharp claws lifting up the earth in the sky, as if they were venting incomparable pain.
“Kill!” At this moment, Wang Hu, who was located above the crypt, roared loudly, pulled out his army spear, and charged forward into the swarm of insects!
In the social structure of the swarm of bees and insects, the “unified will” is the core of all their actions, and it is the hindworm that executes this will. As a result, once the hindworm dies, the “will of unity” of the group disappears. The Hegemon of the Abyss would become selfish and greedy without the suppression of the insects. It would immediately gather the insects around it, then break through the encirclement and find a safe place to transform into a new hindworm. Until then, they will not execute the “will of unity”, but rely on the instincts of living beings to survive. In other words, once the hindworm died, the Hegemon of the Abyss would lead the swarm to fight for their own survival, not victory.
A moment later, Tie Zha, the match, and the porcupine carrying Tuoba San rushed out of the crypt and joined up with the army. Looking at the incomplete corpses of his comrades, Tie Zha took a deep breath. Then, he commanded the troops to retreat and informed Giant Amu to lead the logistics personnel back to the camp.
More than half an hour later, half of the casualties returned to the camp. During this period, the late third, fifth, and ninth teams of the Dark Jungle Garrison arrived on the battlefield one after another and began to encircle and exterminate the bee ant colonies that were fighting on their own. Half an hour later, three large aircraft flew over the jungle. Looking up, the rear hatch lid slowly opened. Templars dressed in white Holy Light Power Armor shot out one after another, dragging blue tail flames as they transformed into meteors and flew towards the ground.
This was one of the strongest human armies, the Dawn Expeditionary Force! There were a total of three teams. Although each team only had twelve people, they were slaughtering the swarm of insects like they were ravaging the dead …
If they had arrived earlier, all sacrifices could have been avoided. However, their most arrogant warriors would only mobilize at the most critical moment.
At this time, Tie Zha sat on the wooden box in the middle of the camp, looking at the wounded soldiers and dialing General Li Qi’s voice communication.
He only said one sentence: “We killed the ant queen. Whoever dares to steal our merits, I’ll give you trouble.” After saying that, he hung up the communication without waiting for an answer. He doesn’t need a reply from anyone, he just wants to show his attitude.
Three hours later, General Richie announced, “The war is over.”
After counting the personnel, Wang Hu sent over a list of casualties. Tie Zha only took a few glances and put it away. This complicated work should be left to Qin Ke’er. However, before he could rest, two uninvited guests arrived. Not far ahead, two Knights Templar crossed the wall of the bunker and paced over. The two of them walked into the camp. From Tie Zha’s point of view, the white Holy Light Power Armor was exceptionally dazzling.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is the camp of the CSUM Wolf Legion.” Deputy Guild Leader Wang Hu squeezed out a smile and greeted him.
The leader of the paladins held his hands behind his back and nodded at Wang Hu. Then, the Knight Templar behind him raised his hand and signaled Wang Hu to get busy with his own affairs. Tie Zha frowned imperceptibly and continued to sit on the big wooden box, observing them with the corner of his eyes.
Afterwards, the two Knights of the Temple strolled around on their own, as if they were searching or inspecting. A moment later, just as they were about to leave, Mu Qianhe came out of the tent with a newly sterilized medical device. The leader of the Knights Templars immediately stopped and stared at the former like a cat smelling fish. Then, he pointed at her and ordered, “Come here.” Mu Qianhe frowned, but he still walked over.
“Have you ever been in contact with a swarm of insects?” The Knight Templar asked. Mu Qianhe shook his head. The former’s expression suddenly changed and he shouted loudly, “You’re lying!” At the same time, the Knight Templar behind him took a step forward, and a blue light suddenly appeared in his eyes!
Tie Zha’s gaze condensed. Although his expression remained calm on the surface, he had already secretly tensed his muscles and was ready to attack.
“Ladies and gentlemen, if there is anything we need to cooperate with, please speak slowly.” Mu Qianhe smiled sweetly and nodded, “We will definitely respect the Holy Light’s decision.”
The leading Knight Templar raised his hand. The other Knight Templar immediately put away his preparations and took a step back.
“At present, the queen bugs in this area have been eliminated. We are worried that the Hegemon of the Abyss will infect human women, so please cooperate with our inspection.” The former said.
Hearing this, the Marines in the camp frowned and looked at them with disdain. This was clearly an excuse to play hooligan. Anyone with common sense knows that Hegemons must capture human women in their entirety before they can fuse, and that ordinary women are simply unattractive to them, not eroding them like parasites or infectious diseases.
“Ladies and gentlemen, she is only our medical soldier. She has never come into contact with a swarm of insects. We can testify …” Wang Hu stepped forward to explain.
“Did I ask you anything?” The leading Knight Templar asked impatiently, his eyes wide open.
“This is our camp!” Wang Hu’s face was ashen as he said in a deep voice.
“Obstruct the path of the Holy Light! Kill without mercy!” Another Templar Knight shouted, blue light flashing in his eyes. The patterns on the Holy Light Power Armor lit up one after another. Wang Hu’s entire body tensed up as he unwillingly stared at the other party’s eyes. Seeing that the situation was on the verge of exploding, Mu Qianhe took a step forward and blocked the path between the two of them. He said to the Templar Knight, “Just check it. It’s fine, I’ll cooperate with you.”
After saying that, she turned around and pushed Wang Hu away, saying, “Your Excellency has an order. Hurry up and retreat.”
Wang Hu wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, he sighed and turned around to leave. The leader of the Knights Templars raised his hand solemnly and pointed at a large tent.
“Yes, my lord.” Mu Qianhe nodded and walked towards the tent.
Not long after, the two of them entered the tent together, while the second Knight Templar guarded the entrance and looked around at everyone present. At this moment, a big red ant quietly crawled through his feet and got into the tent.
At this moment, in the tent, a man in his thirties and a girl in her early twenties sat looking at each other. The man pressed the switch on his arm, took off the gloves of his power armor, reached out to touch the girl’s face and said, “We’re just doing a routine check-up. I hope you don’t have any resistance.”
Mu Qianhe obediently replied. Actually, she hated him very much, but in order to avoid conflict, she really had no other way. This was not an academy, but a battlefield. If the two of them took action, it would be a calamity for the guild. The Dawn Expeditionary Army was notoriously arrogant. They could kill everyone here for any reason.
“She looks so beautiful. Why fight here? It’s so hard.” The man’s hand slid across her face and landed on a plump ball of soft meat …
Mu Qianhe’s heart tightened and he accepted his fate and closed his eyes.
“Follow me in the future, and I guarantee that you will enjoy your food and drink …” Suddenly, the other party’s voice stopped and a warm liquid splashed onto her face! When she opened her eyes again, the man in front of her only had half a head left, brain fluid and blood splashing everywhere.
Immediately after, she heard a loud shout from outside. She quickly crawled out of the tent, and the moment she raised her head, she happened to see Wang Hu holding Tie Zha’s single-edged straight sword high up and slashing down with all his might!
With a “chi” sound, the Knight Templar at the entrance fell backwards. His head was split open, and he could no longer die.
Just now, the moment Tie Zha opened fire, Wang Hu, Porcupine, and Match attacked at the same time. The Knight Templar only had time to blow one of them away before he was killed by Wang Hu’s sword.
After killing them, they quickly cleaned up the scene. Afterwards, Tie Zha dragged the two corpses into the jungle and summoned the army of soldiers and ants to destroy the corpses. Fortunately, since the two Knights Templars had deliberately concealed their actions from the beginning, they did not share the coordinates with the expeditionary army headquarters. Therefore, I have no way of knowing exactly how and where they died …
