Chapter 359: Scorpion's Final Card!
The black-skinned Scorpion transformed into a white jade Scorpion, and its combat power skyrocketed. It emitted a strong corrosive power, and every time Guangtou Qiang collided with the white jade Scorpion, he could feel his defense weakening layer by layer.
Continuing like this, Guangtou Qiang might not be able to match the white jade Scorpion!
However, there was no worry on Su Chen's face. If Scorpion had a trump card, did Guangtou Qiang not have one?
Of course not!
One must understand that Guangtou Qiang had undergone a second evolution. Each time he evolved, he gained a new ability or heightened an existing one. Currently, Guangtou Qiang was using an ability derived from evolution, turning his entire skin golden.
Guangtou Qiang knew he had to employ his second ability now.
"Ultimate Strength!"
Guangtou Qiang roared, his muscles seemingly ready to burst out of his skin. Ripples appeared around his body, a manifestation of energy vibrations caused by his immense power!
This was far stronger than mere energy fluctuations. Generally, only a handful of ninth-order peak experts or even Small Galaxy-level powerhouses could induce energy vibrations. Yet, for Guangtou Qiang, who was only at the peak of the eighth order, reaching such a level was astonishing.
Guangtou Qiang's fist struck, and regardless of the corrosive power or the tougher shell of the white jade Scorpion, nothing could withstand his punch.
Crack!
The white jade Scorpion's body shattered, with nearly half of it exploding under Guangtou Qiang's punch.
Scorpion's eyes were filled with shock. It had already brought out the ace in the hole of the Zerg super soldiers, yet it still wasn't a match. How could this human be so powerful?
Guangtou Qiang didn't give Scorpion time to recover from its shock. He launched another punch.
As a melee-type super soldier, Guangtou Qiang's fighting style was straightforward brute force!
If brute force doesn't work, I'll use even more!
Just as Su Chen thought that Scorpion was about to meet its end at the hands of Guangtou Qiang, an unexpected reversal occurred.
Scorpion's body suddenly expanded, enveloping Guangtou Qiang. When Guangtou Qiang shattered this massive body, Scorpion had vanished.
Fortunately, its position was still visible on the map. Su Chen immediately informed Guangtou Qiang to continue the pursuit.
At this point, Scorpion looked pitiful, its body tattered. One of its pincers was even missing, and it flew frantically in a particular direction.
"No wonder the Brood's message mentioned that humans are the arch-enemies of the Zerg. A mere human can defeat me, one of the Zerg's elites. Ordinary Zerg have no hope against them."
Scorpion knew that if it was caught before completing its task, it would be done for. However, before being killed, it had to fulfill the final task assigned by the Brood: reach the third area and contact other Zerg Broods.
The only clue it had was the Crystal Beast. The direction Scorpion was fleeing in was precisely where the Crystal Beast resided. Scorpion remembered the terrain of this place quite clearly.
In this life-or-death moment, Scorpion's expression suddenly froze. A new piece of information entered its mind, and this unexpected information brought surprise to its face.
"This was left behind by the Brood. It's appearing at this moment. I never expected that the Brood and... " Scorpion's heart was filled with awe, and its respect for the Brood deepened.
It had never realized that the Brood was such an enigmatic existence, capable of considering every possibility. Its eyes grew resolute, and it accelerated toward the Crystal Beast's location.
Just before Guangtou Qiang caught up with it, Scorpion arrived above the Crystal Beast. At this moment, the Crystal Beast was leisurely feasting on roasted meat. It had been eating for several days!
"Crystal Beast, do you still remember the agreement you had with the Zerg Brood back then?" Scorpion shouted.
The Crystal Beast, in the midst of its meal, paused and looked at Scorpion. "Where is it?"
"I am one of the Zerg bred by the Brood. It told me that if you still remember our original agreement, do me a favor!" Scorpion shouted, feeling somewhat fearful. After all, it had witnessed this fellow easily kill Wind Tide.
Scorpion lied; Zerg Brood had already been killed by Su Chen. It was worried that Crystal Beast might not recognize it if it revealed the truth.
"What favor?" Crystal Beast's tone seemed to imply agreement.
Scorpion's eyes brightened, and it hurriedly said, "Kill all the humans here!"
"Understood."
As soon as Crystal Beast's reply fell, it disappeared.
At that moment, the System's alert sounded once again: "Alert, alert, Invader detected. Target: Super soldier Guangtou Qiang."
"What?" Su Chen was surprised. Where did this Invader come from?
He closely examined the map, and he saw a massive dot rapidly approaching Guangtou Qiang. The owner of this dot was... Crystal Beast!
Su Chen was puzzled. Why would Crystal Beast attack his own forces? It didn't make sense.
If it wanted to attack, it could have done so from the beginning. Why wait until now?
Regardless of Su Chen's thoughts, Crystal Beast had already appeared before Guangtou Qiang. As a warrior, Guangtou Qiang's senses were keen, and he felt that Crystal Beast was far from friendly!
At this point, Crystal Beast was about the same size as the white jade Scorpion, but its strength hadn't diminished in the slightest. It extended a claw toward Guangtou Qiang. Guangtou Qiang spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying tens of kilometers away.
Just one move heavily injured Guangtou Qiang. If it weren't for his formidable defense, he might have been defeated instantly.
"Guangtou Qiang is in danger!" The expressions of two nearby super soldiers changed. They had learned from the Commander that Crystal Beast was actually targeting them.
However, it didn't cause a trace of fear in them. As super soldiers, fear was not an emotion that would manifest, even when facing a powerful enemy they couldn't match. They would use their own weapons to confront the challenge!
"Why are you attacking us?" Li Shaolong helped Guangtou Qiang up, his eyes cold as he stared at Crystal Beast.
For some unknown reason, Crystal Beast hadn't attacked yet. Instead, it gave them a chance to talk.
"We had an agreement with a Zerg, so I apologize," Crystal Beast grinned, showing no remorse.
Seeing this scene, Su Chen's brows furrowed. Crystal Beast had an
agreement with the Zerg? How was that possible?
There was only one Zerg on this planet, Scorpion. Scorpion should have been the first to arrive here, so how did it have an agreement with Crystal Beast?
The only possibility was that another Zerg had arrived before Scorpion, and that Zerg was acquainted with Scorpion.
In Su Chen's mind, a particular Zerg emerged Zerg Brood.
Only it could meet all the conditions, most importantly, it had been on this planet for who knows how long. Discovering this place wasn't strange at all. (To be continued)
