Chapter 3145: The Tactical TeamEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The tactical squad’s injection weapon could, in a short time, greatly weaken various attributes of the mutant worms, and even greatly weaken their resurrection effect.

"Puff! Puff puff!!"

The needle gun’s injected potion shot into the bodies of the front-line Lickers, and the Lickers’ movement speed instantly dropped significantly, visible to the naked eye.

Well done! The potion’s effect was excellent!

Granville had just been a little excited when he suddenly heard a nearby ship staff member whisper, "Report to the Captain, we detected abnormal creature reactions, coming from high altitude!"

"Look! That’s—!"

Everyone instinctively looked out the distant sky through the window, only to see large brown creatures appearing in the air, quickly approaching the ship’s direction.

Hmm? That was...

A trace of astonishment appeared in Granville’s eyes.

Hmm?

A creature type never seen before.

Those large flying creatures were bloated in size, constantly emitting black aura from their bodies. Looking carefully through a telescope, they turned out to be large creatures made of white bone, and outside the bones, the skin was actually densely covered in a setup-like pattern of mutant worms.

"Hu! Hu!!"

The bone dragon swarm roared past, covered densely with Lickers, forming a special type of large airborne combat unit, carrying out concentrated covering bombardment below.

Granville had never seen such strange flying mutant worms, and his brows furrowed deeply.

"Those should be the vampires mentioned in the report."

In the high sky, around the bone dragons, there were also vampire bat forms circling. From time to time, the vampires transformed into human form, dropping large swaths of blood-colored bombs to attack various tactical squads below, then transformed back into bat form to circle around the bone dragons in coordinated combat.

For a while, blood-colored bombs falling from the sky, corrosive dragon’s breath, and large waves of biological cannons rained down ferociously on the Alliance tactical squads below.

After several rounds of aerial bombardment, the energy points of some weaker squads in the trial dropped crazily, and soon there were casualties.

In contrast, at the front, the densely packed Licker swarms seemed endless, constantly swarming toward the ship.

"The situation isn’t good, retreat first!"

One tactical squad captain, Nilland, who was closer to the edge, had just given the order to lead his team to retreat when he suddenly realized something was wrong — his feet seemed to be entangled by something.

Huh? What was that?

"Chi, chi chi chi..."

The vines originally underfoot suddenly mutated, frantically entangling toward the squad members’ legs.

"D*mn it! These vines are a problem!"

"Everyone be careful! Don’t let the vines get close!"

Nilland immediately shouted to warn his companions, but it was still a step too late. The vines that had seemed harmless while lying flat on the ground now revealed a hideous side, rapidly gathering from all directions toward the squad members — unavoidable!

"D*mn it! Use the enhanced focused flamethrower!"

The squad members switched weapons and immediately used the flamethrowers to burn back the vines surging in from all directions.

Abe Akaya, with a weakness to fire attributes, finally cowered back under the threat of the flamethrower.

Nilland held the trigger of his flamethrower to the maximum, his forehead already covered in cold sweat.

It was over.

The vines seemed extremely afraid of fire and could not advance for now, but they were surrounded by huge masses of vines and simply could not escape.

Once the firepower of the focused flamethrower weakened even slightly, the vines would spread forward like mad.

What to do?

The focused flamethrower’s energy points were simply not enough to burn at full power like this.

The other squad members also realized this, their foreheads sweating in tension, all looking toward Captain Nilland.

Nilland looked toward the ship in the rear with pleading eyes, wondering if any reinforcement teams could arrive — but the next moment, an electronic defense system warning sounded in his ears.

An electronic screen displayed lines of hints.

"Warning! Your protective suit (right ankle area) has sustained damage. The current environment may carry the Seed of Ouroboros virus. Please return to the ship immediately for safety inspection and replacement of your protective suit."

"Huh?"

Nilland’s heart jumped sharply, and he immediately looked down at his right leg.

Not good!

At some point, his right foot had been entangled by thin vines.

"Die!"

Nilland cursed angrily, pulling out a high-frequency energy light beam sword and slashing hard at the vine around his foot.

"Chi!!"

The energy light beam sliced through the vine as easily as cutting vegetables.

Although his foot was freed from the vine’s grip, Nilland suddenly felt his leg lose strength, stumbling forward.

Hmm?

Looking down again, he saw that although the vine was cut, part of it still wrapped around his foot.

Looking more closely, Nilland’s back instantly turned cold.

What the hell!

The vine was densely covered with tiny spikes, which had pierced through the outer layer of his protective suit, stabbing into his leg and attaching to his foot.

The vine was frantically sucking his blood!

The spikes might have some kind of paralysis effect, so he felt no pain at all!

Looking up again, in just a moment, his squadmates had also been tightly bound by vines from the ground.

Once entangled, the squad members quickly lost the ability to move, tripped to the ground, and were then quickly wrapped again until they were completely buried under the vines, becoming nourishment for the vine creatures.

"Get off! All of you, get off me!"

In extreme terror, Nilland lost his sanity, shouting as he held the flamethrower’s trigger down to the maximum, sweeping fire in all directions.

"Chi! Chi chi!!!!"

The vines quickly found a breach in the flames, circling from behind Nilland, rapidly climbing onto his body and burying him beneath thick layers of vines for absorption.

Not far away, inside each ship, the atmosphere grew tense.

Who would have thought that the inconspicuous vines on the ice could have such terrifying lethality!?

In just two minutes, each squad had suffered heavy casualties.

"Hurry! All squads immediately retreat! Immediately use flamethrowers to destroy the vines! Do not engage with the vines!"

Almost simultaneously, the vines within the ship’s defensive barrier also entered a mutation state. Dense tree roots condensed into spiral spike shapes, furiously stabbing at the ship’s outer barrier.

The vines, which had been lying quietly on the ground, now quickly spread toward each ship, climbing onto the ship’s external energy barriers.

"Report! The ship is under attack, defensive shield energy points are dropping!"

Granville’s back felt faintly cold.

He had already accounted for the Ouroboros swarm and vampires, but the giant flying creatures in the sky and the vines covering the planet had been completely beyond his calculations!

The three forces combined in a fully three-dimensional strike — their fleet had never experienced such a battlefield, and they were stunned.

"Report! The vine plants have some special ability to attach to the energy barrier and absorb its energy! Not good! The energy points are dropping rapidly!"

The ship operator was sweating profusely in panic.

The root-formed tree piercing attacks were strong but still within acceptable limits, but these strange vine plants were truly terrifying. Once attached to the defensive barrier, the ship’s energy points dropped in huge chunks.

"Hmph, make your move."

The Blue Lizard patriarch gently nodded to several of his subordinates.
