Chapter 928: Chapter 67: Generous Spoils of War

The Oda Eagles, driven by the soldiers’ burning life force, almost unleashed the power of an SS-level pet, ferociously incomparable, fiercely attacking the Bug Queen, trading blow for blow. Even in death, not a breath was wasted before being summoned again by the soldiers.

Another two minutes passed, and fortunately, it wasn’t a random erasure of survivors, but the Bug Queen gained a sure-kill ability. It opened its fierce jaws and spewed a large green cloud of smoke, which was obviously toxic.

"Everyone spread out and draw it out," Dantai said, dragging the severely injured Liang Mao back. If Tang Zheng’s Moon Blades hadn’t flown out in time, the honest man would have definitely died.

All the survivors quickly exited the range of the poisonous mist and moved upwind. This kind of area-effect mass killing was the most annoying.

"We need to change tactics!" Seeing his clone being knocked away and their combat power weakening, Tang Zheng tossed the Space Backpack filled with all the Rabbit Explosives to it. If it weren’t for the fear of accidentally hurting his teammates, he would even have put the Mechanical Nuclear Bomb in there. However, he had a stroke of inspiration and stuffed all the unspawned Bug Eggs he had collected into it as well.

"Dantai, Manli, protect my clone’s close quarters," Tang Zheng shouted, while he himself kept sniping around the Bug Queen, blocking its evasive routes.

The Bug Queen’s sharp cries signaled its sense of crisis as it went full firepower.

The clone initiated a suicidal attack. Even after the Bug Queen’s Heavy Insect Gun blasted off its left leg and a Cleaver took off one of its shoulders, it successfully got close with the protection of the two people and tightly clung to the Bug Queen’s body.

The accumulated dozens of Rabbit Explosives detonated in an instant, blasting away a fifth of the Bug Queen’s body. Due to the attached powerful armor-breaking effect, the Bug Queen’s limb regeneration ability was restricted, and it was left with only one arm holding a long spear.

The bursting Bug Eggs splattered a liquid that seemed highly dangerous to the Bug Queen, corroding a part of its body and slowing down its movements.

"Smash the Bug Eggs," Dantai realized, seeing the similarity to the previous fight where Soul shards were used to kill Oda Nobunaga. No wonder the mission on the previous stage was this; it turned out to be useful here. At this thought, the special agent felt some regret - if they had discovered it earlier, perhaps fewer people would have died.

"Don’t get distracted. Perhaps the Bug Eggs are only effective against the BOSS," Qin Yan didn’t want Dantai to be distracted by these uncertain matters.

Dantai adjusted his mindset. Qin Yan actually guessed right; indeed, the Bug Eggs were only lethal to the Bug Queen. If thrown into the sea of bugs, the splattered liquid would only make them fiercer, doubling their attack power, and then they’d be hesitant to use it on the Bug Queen. This was an inadvertent mistake.

Blue Trojan was full of traps, setting them all up, and it was easy to fall into them without paying attention.

The Bug Queen, bombarded by a round of Rabbit Explosives and infiltrated by Nightmare Vines and the Mechanical Centipede, became extremely frail. If they didn’t kill it now, when would they? Dantai and Qin Yan went all out in an intense attack on the Bug Queen, and the Oda Eagles also kept up their suicidal attacks.

"Opening!" Tang Zheng rushed into the Bug Queen’s vicinity, and while Qin Yan pierced the Bug Queen’s body, momentarily immobilizing it, he blasted out four Moon Blades, successfully exploiting the weakness.

Four arc-shaped crescent moons shot out, decapitating the Bug Queen, followed by three more blades that completely dismembered it, grinding its heart to pieces.

As the Bug Queen’s corpse fell, Tang Zheng, not taking any chances, threw another Bomb to completely blast it into bits and then tossed the Bug Heart towards its head to absorb the brain pulp.

The BOSS battle came to a close, with Hammer Team still having 25 people left, but all injured, with only 20% of their combat strength remaining.

The Bug Queen lived up to its BOSS-level status; as the Bug Heart absorbed the brain pulp and turned it into energy, Tang Zheng found himself recovering rapidly.

"You all really surprised me. Not only did you survive the punishment period, but you still have 25 base people left. Do you think my theater is an amusement park? What’s most surprising is that none of you are Fourth Order. Both German teams, on the other hand, were annihilated. No, the West Lake Longjing Tea team is close too," Blue Trojan muttered, "Could it be that the title of Fearless this time will fall on a Third-order Conqueror? This has never happened since the game started."

"Rest up quickly and recover," Dantai, not reassured, began collecting the dozen or so seeds dropped by the Bug Queen while reminding everyone.

Of the Bug Queen’s four weapons, three remained, all of S-grade. Dantai glanced at the attributes and handed them all to Tang Zheng.

"Let the Bug Heart consume them to recover strength."

Heavy Insect Gun, S-grade, can spray corrosive acid and release paralyzing toxic mist, capable of breaching S-grade and below defenses, with bullets that have a trace of neuro-paralyzing toxin and splash effect.

"You’re really generous; these are great weapons!" Tang Zheng was reluctant to let the Bug Heart consume them, thinking it was better to give them to the newbies than waste them.

Insect Bone Cleaver, S-grade, with demonic and spiritual breaking properties, comes with paralyzing stun effect, the cut part needing double the antidote potion for healing.

Moon-shaped Flying Blade, S-grade, silver, with demonic and spiritual breaking effects, thirty seconds cooldown, comes with toxin effect.

"Then we’ll keep them and divide them later!" Dantai, keeping an eye on the surroundings, called to whoever could still move to carry the seriously injured onto the Armored Humvee, ready to move.

"No need for all that trouble." Li Xinlan didn’t have an S-grade hot weapon, so Tang Zheng gave her the Heavy Insect Gun, and Bai Guo had a clone but only one S-grade melee weapon, so he gave her the Insect Bone Cleaver. After all, being an assassin type, she could use it to great effect.
