Chapter 577: Chapter 268: Crippling the Target, Hindrance and Decapitation Kill

"Kill!"

The Ion Laser Cannon in Lin Feng’s hand, having gathered its energy, unleashed a scorching, pale-golden beam of light that pierced straight through the Tiger Spine Zergs blocking the Hive entrance, clearing the final obstacle for the all-out assault...

The thirty members of the Guard Battle Group beside and behind him raised their Electromagnetic Cannons in unison, firing Magnetic Storm Bombs toward the gap in the instantly carbonized Zerg corpse.

One after another, blue-white orbs of ball lightning flew into the deepest part of the Hive where the Mother Empress Swarm resided. Upon exploding, they spread out to release a web of electric currents, killing or stunning countless Red-Armored Beetles and Black Spine Zergs.

It also prevented the few remaining Peak Tiger Spine Zergs inside the Hive from advancing to plug the hole.

Although the Electromagnetic Cannons couldn’t one-shot a level-29 Peak Tiger Spine Zerg, a direct hit could paralyze its nervous system, temporarily incapacitating it.

If they had been able to manifest the Electromagnetic Cannons during the Collective Mental Realm Trial, the challenge would have been significantly easier.

They might have even been able to break into the Land of the End to kill the more realistic King Spine Zerg there, obtaining a more complete and powerful Realm Power.

Unfortunately, too few Genetic Warriors participated in the trial; otherwise, their later victory wouldn’t have been so hard-won.

Now, in the Real World, not only could they equip numerous replicas of the Electromagnetic Cannon, but the various pieces of Tier Three, Golden Quality equipment in Lin Feng’s hands could also be used to their full potential.

For instance, his charging Ion Laser Cannon had already locked onto a massive, grey-black figure within the deep Hive, a target illuminated by the explosions of the Magnetic Storm Bombs.

It was one of the members of the nine-strong Mother Empress Alliance, a Tier Three Early Stage creature whose strength had just reached Early Stage Perfection. At level 33, it was even weaker than the original Mother Empress from Yunxia Ridge.

Lin Feng had targeted it from the very beginning. Its forward position and average strength made it...

...the perfect chicken to be killed to warn the monkeys.

Although the Lv30 Ion Laser Cannon couldn’t score a one-shot kill, it could inflict grievous wounds. Mother Empresses were bloated and massive; without the Red-Armored Beetles to carry them, their movement speed was slower than even a normal human’s.

If it moved too slowly to dodge the Ion Light Cannon’s sustained fire, it would have to take the full duration of the Damage.

A continuous ten-second blast, dealing five hundred Damage per second for a total of over six thousand. It could heat the targeted area to over two thousand degrees.

Unlike the King Spine Zergs that lived in a molten Hell, the Mother Empress’s flesh and blood body, aside from the Neck Guard protecting its core brain, couldn’t possibly withstand the Light Cannon’s high-temperature assault.

It could only let the Ion Light Cannon wantonly destroy its organs and tissues.

Writhing in agony, it twisted and struggled, moving its body and head to prevent its core brain from also being seared by the Laser.

In the end, relying on its own formidable Life Force, the Mother Empress somehow managed to withstand all six thousand points of Damage.

Lin Feng’s Ion Laser Cannon then smoothly fired another shot, locking onto the Biological Hatching Nest connected to the Mother Empress’s rear, successfully cutting off any possibility of it instantly summoning a Divine Domain Descent.

Thus, the first step of the decapitation strike was complete.

Having lost its Biological Hatching Nest, the Mother Empress realized the enemy’s true objective—to kill it. It hurriedly summoned the Red-Armored Beetle Swarm from deeper in the cave to carry it away from the tunnel’s excavation front.

Without the burden of the Biological Hatching Nest, the Mother Empress’s own weight was reduced by three-quarters, and its movement speed suddenly increased severalfold.

With the assistance of the Red-Armored Beetle Swarm, its escape was not slow at all.

Its grey-black silhouette swiftly vanished into the dimness of the Hive.

But how could prey targeted by Lin Feng escape so easily?

With the first wave of clearing complete, the Reproductive Armor Mecha swung its Hunter Emperor’s Chainsaw Sword, cleaving apart the corpses blocking the entrance. It led the *Mother Empress* and Shen Jie, who had activated his Slaughter State, charging into the deepest part of the Hive.

Upon entering the area, the once narrow and cramped space suddenly opened up.

Lin Feng frowned slightly. ’I thought the underground tunnel where the Mother Empresses were was just a slightly wider, spindle-shaped passage.’

But the cavernous pit now before his eyes was a full kilometer wide, perfectly capable of accommodating all nine Mother Empresses advancing to the front line side-by-side.

This meant the six Mother Empresses before him had ample space to deploy their troops and maneuver freely.

And such a spacious tunnel would eventually be thirty to forty kilometers long, stretching all the way from the ruined city district to the underground beneath Yunxia Ridge.

At that point, its purpose would not only be to allow the Zerg Race to besiege Yunxia Ridge, but also to serve as a future traffic artery for all the Zerg in the Northeast Plain to enter the Northwest Reclaimed Land.

The alliance of nine Mother Empresses wanted to carve out an underground Zerg highway through these mountain ranges, connecting the east and west.

Lin Feng could already imagine the extent to which the situation in the entire North would deteriorate because of this passage after he left.

’I have to stop them!’

’I have to stop all of this from happening!’

With that thought, Lin Feng made a snap decision and shouted:

"Guard Battle Group, handle the Peak Tiger Spine Zergs! Shen Jie, harass the remaining Mother Empresses! No. 2 Machine, provide Spiritual Shield protection and simultaneously jam communications between the Mother Empresses!"

Having assigned the tasks and arranged his followers, the Reproductive Armor Mecha blurred into an afterimage, rushing toward the level-33 Mother Empress it had heavily wounded earlier.

Though its speed had increased after being freed from the burden of the Biological Nest, that improvement was nothing before the Reproductive Armor Mecha, which could burst to supersonic speeds.
