Chapter 450: Chapter 119 Escape is the Best Plan_2
No matter how negligent the subordinate agencies of the Supreme Council were, they couldn’t possibly let the Shadow Mantis run amok in all Heavens and Realms.
The presence of the Shadow Mantis here suggests there must be some hidden secret.
It is this hidden secret that shocked Crew Cut Brother.
As is widely known, while the reproduction of the Insect Race is sexual, they can store eggs in advance and incubate them when needed.
If what Crew Cut Brother suspected vaguely in his mind is correct, the trouble they’re facing is getting bigger and bigger.
“We should retreat.”
Unable to bear the thought of a horrible possibility, the Crew Cut Brother suggested retreating, “This matter is beyond our capability now.”
Sandra remained silent, neither agreeing to retreat nor to stay.
She knew perfectly well what Crew Cut Brother was thinking.
The mistake in this mission isn’t by any means the fault of the Mini Legion.
The subordinate agencies of the Supreme Council have made a major oversight.
The Insect Race has been playing tricks right under their noses and they have made only a few valuable discoveries.
Even the details of the task provided are full of mistakes, extremely misleading.
If not for the Mini Legion’s timely response, well-rounded measures, abundant financial resources, and advanced equipment.
If any other ordinary team were sent to carry out this task, they would have been wiped out long ago!
Besides, the Insect Race that could grow Shadow Mantises from the insect eggs must have a significant identity.
Combined with the mission background that the Insect Race in this mission world is a side branch of the royal family once ruled the super-civilised Insect World,
Anyone with sharp eyes could guess that it might be a direct line remnant of the Insect Race royal family, attempting to rise again and accumulate power.
A direct remnant of the Insect Race Royal family, starting as a Level 5 Extraordinary Life.
This status and level are very “matching” with the Level 5 Nest.
Just a Level 5 target, the “Cloud Rainbow” is not scared.
However, a Level 5 direct offspring leftover from the Insect Race royal family is not something a mini legion can handle.
Look, they haven’t even seen each other yet and already they’ve lost seven people.
In terms of individual strength, the Mini Legion is defenseless against the Level 5 Insect Race!
While Sandra was contemplating a strategy, Link had already steered the shuttle, changing its course and heading full speed towards the Level 5 Nest.
He wanted to observe the strange Nest at close range.
Apart from suddenly appearing and scaring everyone, the Nest did not move and didn’t make any further moves.
It neither launched an attack on the “Cloud Rainbow”, nor did it release new Insect Race forces.
This behavior was quite similar to the empty puppet of the Insect Race.
The Shadow Mantis at the engine of the shuttle noticed something was wrong and started attacking the engine wildly.
However, the advantage of the Shadow Mantis lies in its concealing ability, not fortification. For a while, it could do nothing about the protective shield of the shuttle engine.
In space, the protection of the Insect Race around the Nest discovered the abnormality of the shuttle.
Uh…
The shuttle was still in stealth mode, but it was useless.
The Scorpion Insect Tribe of the Nest couldn’t detect the invisible shuttle with their eyes but could sense the special fluctuations emitted by the Shadow Mantis.
One after another, the Scorpion Insect Tribe appeared on the route of the shuttle, forming a thick defense line, ready to intercept the shuttle.
Link switched the operating mode directly, changing from automatic driving to manual driving.
After a little adaptation to the operations of the shuttle, Link started “car racing in space”.
Thanks to his previous practice on the “Celestial Shuttle” of the “Hummingbird” class interstellar warship, Link’s “car skills” were pretty good.
He controlled the shuttle, dodging left and right, successfully evading one Scorpion Insect Tribe attack after another.
This process was thrilling, a slight carelessness would lead to the destruction of the car and the death of the Shadow Mantis.
Fortunately, there were no surprises. The shuttle didn’t fire a shot throughout the journey, but miraculously broke through the Scorpion Tribe’s blockade and threw off a large number of the Scorpion Tribe by speed and approached the Level 5 Nest.
In this matter, Franda contributed a lot, accounting for more than half of the credit.
It was she who summoned the Origin Power for assist in the “Small World”, enhanced the computing power, and shared the computing power with Link.
Only then could Link make a series of almost irreproducible cool moves in a flash.
Sandra and her three comrades, upon capturing this scene through the Tower Spirit and moving it to the largest screen’s real-time image, watched Link’s miraculous operations throughout.
A shuttle, incredibly going through the interception of a few thousand Scorpion Insect Tribe!
How cool is this, how amazing!
This visual effect is simply exploding.
Crew Cut Brother was so stunned for a moment that he dared not look directly at Link, directly in awe.
Link didn’t get distracted and remained fully focused, controlling the shuttle to move forward at full speed.
Shadow Mantis couldn’t attack the engine in peace of mind anymore, as the Combat Puppet sent by Link has already tied it up.
First things first, right?
Once a hidden danger is discovered, how can it be ignored?
What if at the most critical moment, the Shadow Mantis breaks the protective shield of the engine and destroys the power system of the shuttle, that would be a real pain.
As the shuttle got closer to the Nest, it became harder to move forward.
The speed uncontrollably reduced.
This was the effect of the Distortion Field inherent in the Level 5 Nest.
Since the shuttle was already abandoned, there was no way Link would be heartbroken.
If the power of the full-speed drive was insufficient, then he would increase the load, regardless of damaging all the power systems, he would squeeze out a bit more power.
The frontline battlefield had almost come to a standstill by then.
Those insects who still had clear minds and were able to act fluidly had gone back to help the Nest, only leaving behind insect puppets that were like empty shells.
