Chapter 1283: Especially Good at Eating
Xiao Moshan would not hide the news, "We have found signs of the lair star beast, but it is hard to say how it will develop."
"I suggest you be careful," Hill said seriously, "There are quite a few supreme beings in the lair. It is said that there are more than ten or twenty of them and they are all normal."
Xiao Moshan smiled when he heard this, "With our camp, thirty supreme beings are not enough to defeat us."
"This is just the strength of the battleship, not including the individual strength."
"Don't pretend to be relaxed in front of me," Hill is older than Xiao Moshan and his IQ is not bad either.
The key is that the two of them are getting along well now. He said, "There are so many supreme beings in the lair star beasts. What if one of them comes out from above the supreme being?"
They are all smart people, so there is no need to talk about fooling fools.
"One above the Supreme?" Xiao Moshan sneered, "Forget it, I'm only A-level, I won't brag."
Hill's eyes rolled, "Maybe there are two?"
"Aren't you tired of playing tricks all day long?" Xiao Moshan was already familiar with the other party's routine.
"There are three division-level ships. It's not our turn."
It took the Second Fleet a day to join up with the main force, and then headed towards the depths of the nebula.
The three starships of Qu Jianlei's team were all arranged on the left wing and rear of the main force, mainly to perform guard missions.
This position is relatively safe, and there are other friendly starships further to the left.
This was a small act of care for Hill, but the fleet's formation was very scattered, so it was still necessary to remain vigilant.
The visibility in the nebula is not very high, and there are large and small stars, gas masses and strange energy.
The distance between the three starships of Qu Jianlei's team is maintained at about 100,000 kilometers, so they can provide timely support in the event of a sudden attack.
The fleet traveled at a constant speed for two days without any major accidents.
Especially when the entire fleet was deployed, they did not find any decent space monsters.
Qu Jianlei guessed that perhaps the environment inside the nebula was a bit harsh and not suitable for their survival.
However, Hill said in casual conversation that it was very likely that other starships had opened up this area.
He is more familiar with the structure of the Special Operations Department, and as one of the four special forces, the Wind Chaser has a distinct style of doing things.
It's called Chasing the Wind, and its main feature is that it comes and goes without a trace, and its combat efficiency is extremely high.
"Many times when they do something, you can't even detect it, unlike the Blood Spear Special Forces, who sweep wherever they pass by."
Hill is now a bit of a show-off. As long as the information is not top secret, he will often tell the other party without the other party asking.
Two days later, after going almost 60 million kilometers deep into the nebula, news came from the front: we had encountered a nest star beast!
The fleet's spread was too large, with a distance of seven or eight million kilometers between them. Qu Jianlei and his men couldn't even observe the war!
Then an order was passed down from the fleet, asking everyone to be on high alert and reiterating that no one was allowed to participate in the battle without orders.
It was the first time for Qu Jianlei to participate in a battle of this scale. There was fierce fighting in the front, but nothing to do in the rear. It felt a bit strange.
It would definitely be a good opportunity to sneak away now, but let alone Qu Jianlei, no one else in the team could do such a thing.
However, the fleet did not let everyone wait in vain and reported the battle situation in a timely manner.
The first to discover the star beast were the forward reconnaissance team at the right front of the fleet.
What they encountered was a star beast team consisting of one Jindan, two A-levels, and two B-levels.
The battle happened in an instant, and when the reconnaissance team's support arrived, some starships had already been damaged.
When they found out that the enemy had support, the five star beasts fought and retreated. Later, the Jindan star beast saw that the situation was not good, so it simply left its subordinates behind and fled.
Now that the fleet has caught up with the enemy, it will naturally chase after them to find out where their nest is.
After chasing for two million kilometers, they encountered the star beast's support team, and the battle officially began.
The starships currently participating in the battle belong to the third team and have already used 30% of their combat power.
The star beasts on the opposite side rely mainly on five sub-nests, a dozen small nests, and strong individual capabilities.
According to the battle report, the nest can move quickly in space and can attack or defend, just like a starship.
However, the long-range attacks launched by star beasts and nests use magic, not energy weapons.
The melee combat capability of star beasts is very strong. It often takes four or five B-level fighters to resist a B-level star beast.
After receiving the news, Qu Jianlei was a little depressed. "Nests, sub-nests and small nests...how are they divided?"
Even Dogan couldn't help but complain, "I can't even see the image of the star beast... and its combat characteristics are even more unclear!"
The paranoid man was about to explode with anger. "How can we fight if they don't give us any information?"
Qu Jianlei couldn't help it any longer, so he took the initiative to contact the leading starship. This is not how the information barrier works, right?
He was impersonating Hill, so he should have been a little angry.
However, the people above have probably been complained about more than once, and not only is their attitude calm, they have also given many reasons.
"It's not that I don't trust you, but once some information gets out, it may cause mass panic."
"Besides that, there are many greedy forces... Maintaining a certain level of secrecy will increase the cost of their adventures."
"So far, most of our engagements have been conducted in the form of battleships. We must trust our combat partners."
These reasons were completely unable to calm everyone down, but the Fourth Master said it very calmly.
"The military can give such an answer, which is respectful..."
After the battle at the front lasted for a day, it was said that the star beasts had received reinforcements, and the third team also sent support starships up.
By the end of the second day, 40% of the third team's starships were still watching the battle, because the main nest of the star beast had not yet appeared.
The first and second teams continued to remain inactive, but orders had been issued for them to prepare for a major battle.
It is said that the third team has suffered heavy damage, but the opponent's mother nest has not appeared yet, so they must hold on.
Qu Jianlei and his group were also quite shocked when they heard the news. Even Hill, who heard the retelling, was very surprised.
"We were originally going to hunt star beasts, but why... does this feel like a two-way war?"
He knew that the Nest Star Beasts had high IQs, but this kind of battle was beyond the scope of beasts, right?
On the third day, the battle became more brutal, and the third team had lost nearly half of its participating starships.
The leader of the second team even said, you all want to know the situation of the star beasts. Now you see how fierce the battle is, right?
Not letting you know is actually a way of protecting you!
He also said that tomorrow's fight will be even more brutal, but it will still be the remnants of the third team that will be fighting.
On the fourth day, just as he expected, unexpectedly, news of star beasts eating people finally appeared.
Some crew members who ejected to escape were not rescued in time and were eaten by the star beasts on the spot.
On the fifth day, the third team had to dispatch another 20% of its starships to replace the two teams that had been hit the hardest.
The casualty ratio of the two teams reached 70%. If it were a national war, they would have collapsed long ago.
The reason they were able to survive was simply because it was a life-and-death racial war.
However, with the arrival of new forces on the battlefield, the first and second teams also received orders to move forward slowly, ready to fight at any time.
On the sixth day, as expected, a large number of reinforcements from the star beasts arrived, and the mother nest also appeared.
The three starships of Qu Jianlei's team advanced more than one million kilometers, and their main task was still vigilance.
As some of the second team's starships began to engage in battle, they finally figured out what was going on with the star beasts on the opposite side.
It is indeed a humanoid, looking like an enlarged human, and the appearance is quite similar.
However, B-level star beasts have two arms, A-level ones have four arms, and the highest level ones have six arms.
Not only do these star beasts know magic, they can also use weapons in close combat!
Most weapons are heavy weapons, such as sticks, hammers, etc., and there are also things like maces.
These weapons, combined with their strong physique, give them a great advantage in close combat.
The mother nest is a sphere with a diameter of more than one hundred kilometers, while the daughter nests are only ten kilometers in diameter.
The small nests vary in size, usually no larger than five kilometers, and the smallest is just over one kilometer!
The volume of the nest is larger than that of a comparable starship, mainly because the star beasts usually live on it.
This information is controlled by the military, but in the second team, more than just Qu Jianlei and his group were recruited.
As soon as they joined the war, they leaked the relevant information, which was a protest against their previous ignorance.
When Qu Jianlei heard that the cultivation level of a star beast was related to the number of arms, he felt vaguely familiar with it.
After he saw the image of the star beast, he understood it completely.
The male star beasts are very ugly, but the female star beasts are very beautiful - that's according to the human race's aesthetic standards.
Three big words flashed through Qu Jianlei's mind:
Just as he was thinking about something, Xizhao sent a message, "Have you thought of anything?"
"Asura!" Qu Jianlei did not hide it from the other party. With Xizhao's vision, he knew that the possibility of this race was very high.
However, Xizhao was really a little confused, "Is that the name?"
"However, the titles in the world of immortal cultivation may not be unified. Have you noticed that the opponent's magic often has no attributes!"
Qu Jianlei spoke thoughtfully, "In other words, there might be spirit stones in their world?"
"You just said the result directly!" Xizhao was a little depressed. "I have some impression of this tribe. They are very good at eating!"
"I highly suspect that they didn't invade in large numbers because they thought the spiritual energy here was too poor."
You've heard of it, haven't you? Qu Jianlei wasn't surprised. "How do these guys compare to the immortal cultivators?"
At the same level, it is difficult for an awakened person to fight Asura alone, but what if it is a genuine cultivator?
Xizhao hesitated and replied, "It should be about the same. Maybe the immortal cultivator is stronger."
"Anyway, I have never heard of how powerful this race is. Their greatest characteristic should be that they are fearless and unafraid of death!"
