I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Chapter 711 Stalemate

Blue Star, deep within the Blue Sea.

The sudden disappearance of the inner circle of mantises caused the Zerg who witnessed this scene to pause for a moment. They did not understand what had happened, but the next moment, they were pushed forward by a powerful force coming from behind.

In an instant, they filled the void left by the disappearance of that batch of mantis beasts.

Caught off guard, many of the newly arrived mantises that had been pushed forward crashed into the water sphere barrier, losing their ability to attack for a moment.

On the other hand, let's look at Su Mo's side.

Because the swarm of insects surrounded her in a three-dimensional and all-round way, the water sphere at the center of this small impact was subjected to roughly the same force, and there was not even a jolt.

However, the newly arrived mantis beasts were caught off guard, causing the insect swarm's unified offensive to falter for a moment. Su Mo seized the opportunity to have the flying boat squeeze into the gaps in those weak points, trying to tear apart the insect swarm's overall formation.

Unfortunately, despite her efforts to squeeze through the crowd, she remained in the inner circle and failed to even manage to kill the mantis beast that was pressing against her. The insectoids were adept at losing momentum and were very slippery in the water, so the airship, despite its force, only managed to whiz past them.

This left Su Mo quite disappointed, but there was nothing she could do about the special environment in the water.

The insect swarm has now spontaneously connected, forming a larger sphere of insectoids outside the water sphere, with Su Mo firmly encased in the center.

No matter whether she directs the airship left or right, it will always carry that giant insect ball outside, making it impossible to break apart or shake off.

In those brief moments, the inner mantises that had been pushed onto the water spheres also reacted. They slid smoothly up from the barrier and began to attack it again.

The attempt to disperse the insect swarm failed, and Su Mo did not persist. Since she could not get out, she simply stopped struggling. In any case, the current situation was not a disadvantage for her.

The Zerg thought that by surrounding her and slowly wearing her down, they could kill her.

They're probably going to be disappointed.

Su Mo simply shut down the flying boat's energy; it was good to have some spiritual energy left to invest. She stopped struggling and just stayed put to kill the insects.

The number of mantis beasts sent into the space by Su Mo in the previous batch was not small. It would take some time for the big black ball and the others to deal with them. Su Mo was not in a hurry. She knew that this time would not be too long. Once that batch of mantis beasts was almost dead, she would send in the second batch.

At this moment, the water sphere in the center of the encirclement stopped moving, and the thick sphere of insects outside also relatively stopped.

Their orders were to kill the outsiders, though they didn't understand why the mission was so difficult to deal with despite having so few targets—they couldn't be broken through or killed.

But that doesn't stop them from carrying out the commands of the mother nest.

Su Mo paced back and forth on the deck of the airship twice. Although she was too lazy to fight the insect swarm, she didn't want to just wait idly while the mantis beasts outside the barrier bared their fangs and claws.

She thought of the only water-attribute spell she had ever learned, and since she had the time and a target to practice with, it was a good opportunity for her.

Su Mo made a hand seal and his lips moved, and a water arrow, as thick as a finger and sharp at both ends, condensed and took shape outside the water sphere barrier.

There were too many targets outside the water sphere, so she didn't bother to choose one and casually threw the water arrow at the nearest mantis beast.

The mantis that was attacked was pierced through the middle of its body by a water arrow. The water arrow, which was quite powerful, dissipated into the water after it passed through the body.

However, the mantis beast was not hit in a vital spot, and its injuries did not cause it to bleed much, so its combat power remained undiminished.

Su Mo: "..."

She awkwardly touched her nose, realizing she still needed more practice!

Keep practicing, practice repeatedly.

The abundant water element in the deep sea not only reduces the consumption of Su Mo's water element spells and quickly increases her proficiency, but also allows her water spirit root to communicate with the water element and enhance her affinity by constantly using water-attribute spells, which can be considered as killing two birds with one stone.

The mantis beasts that she killed while practicing her spells would be immediately stored in her spatial storage and placed in the grain reserve warehouse.

We can't let the mantis corpses remain in the swarm of insects.

For a time, Su Mo and the insect swarm were locked in a stalemate.

A single insect-shaped ball hovered relatively quietly in the depths of the dark blue sea.

The Zerg are currently unable to deal with Su Mo. She is too small, too few, and too difficult to kill. They can only try to disrupt her approach to the mother hive first, and then slowly kill her.

While practicing his spells, Su Mo kept a close eye on the situation at the large black ball.

When she saw that there were very few mantis beasts left on the reptile mountain, she gently trembled the mental energy strands that had been spread out, clearing away the mantis beasts within a fifty-meter radius around the water sphere once again.

Restock complete!

In addition to the water sphere, a new batch of mantis beasts immediately arrived as supplies.

This strange situation occurred again. Even if the Zerg soldiers were mindless, reckless chargers, the Hive was not mindless.

The mother hive, located on the distant seabed, has received fragmented battlefield information relayed back by the Zerg soldiers.

The mother nest was also surprised. This time, the humans seemed different from before. They had many tricks up their sleeves and could make its guards disappear silently.

Although it's a bit tricky, the order to kill the opponent cannot be revoked.

Even the most powerful can be besieged, right?

The mother hive was well aware that the enemy was targeting her, as this wasn't the first time the natives had tried to do so.

As we all know, once the mother nest is established, it is fixed in one place and cannot flexibly change its location. So, it can only ask those natives who try to get close to it to die.

No matter how difficult this native human was to deal with, it didn't believe that the other party could fight in the sea for a long time.

Its Zerg soldiers are numerous enough to wear down the enemy.

As time passed, batches of mantis beasts disappeared without a trace, while the seemingly fragile water sphere remained sturdy.

The mother nest then realized that things might not develop as she expected.

After some thought, the mother hive abandoned the idea of ​​killing the other party and decided to simply expel this uninvited outsider.

As long as the other party stays away from her and cannot threaten her safety, that's fine. Since she couldn't solve the problem this time, she subconsciously decided to push away the source of the problem, and that would solve the problem, right?

The mother hive had no choice but to back down and immediately issued new orders to its Zerg soldiers.

Upon receiving the order, the swarm of insects ceased its attack on the water sphere.

The next moment, the encirclement, which had been so solid that even Su Mo couldn't break through in his flying boat, suddenly cracked open on its own.

The insect swarm changed formation.

Su Mo paused in her hand seals, sensing the water sphere move.

Her mental energy could only perceive a limited range at this moment. It wasn't until the mantis beasts at the innermost edge of the insect swarm changed their formation that Su Mo realized what they were doing.

The swarm of insects no longer surrounded the water sphere, but instead united on one side and exerted their collective force to push it forward.

Su Mo immediately realized what the other party wanted to do.
