Free Web NovelChapter 188: Chapter 135: Tiger Spine Zerg Elite Squad, Unknown Danger
The combined peak fighting force of three Hives was gathered here.
Even if Shen Jie and Qin Hu could draw away all the Tier Two Late Stage Tiger Spine Zergs, the remaining nine Tier One Awakeners would still find it difficult to defeat the remaining Tier Two Middle Stage Tiger Spine Zergs.
It was nine against eight. If they were only facing Tier Two Early Stage Tiger Spine Zergs, they might have barely managed. But these were all Tier Two Middle Stage. Even with the help of the Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Swords, casualties were inevitable.
If one person fell, the Tiger Spine Zerg that defeated them would swarm the other Human Awakeners, triggering a catastrophic chain reaction.
Besides Qin Hu, the other two Genetic Warriors also understood the peril they were in.
If they didn’t fight for their lives, they too would soon be torn to shreds by the Giant Mandibles of the Tiger Spine Zergs.
As Shen Jie clashed with the front line of Tiger Spine Zergs, the battle erupted, and everyone was immediately thrown into a desperate struggle.
The cleared area of the Hive became a death arena for the war between humans and Zergs.
But to Qin Hu’s surprise, Shen Jie, all by himself, had proactively drawn the attention of three Tier Two Late Stage Tiger Spine Zergs.
And he seemed to be handling them with ease as they fought.
While dodging the Tiger Zergs’ bites, he used the Giant Mandible Heavy Saber on his forearm to inflict considerable Damage on their abdomens and joints.
Qin Hu’s expression brightened when he saw this. With someone sharing the burden, he could quickly finish off the last Tier Two Late Stage Tiger Spine Zerg and then rush to support his subordinates. freёwebnovel.com
From the looks of it, Shen Jie’s overall combat strength was actually far greater than his own.
His skill in close-quarters combat against the Zergs was nothing like that of a high school student.
Even if Qin Hu were to activate a Fusion Level of over 40%, he would find it hard, as a Tier Two Early Stage fighter, to simultaneously face three Tier Two Late Stage Tiger Spine Zergs.
There was a nearly threefold difference in Physique between them. No amount of enhancement could bridge that gap, let alone against three such enemies at once.
’A flash of admiration crossed his mind.’ Relying on his Tiger Zerg Fusion form, which encased him in two thick layers of inner and outer Armor, Qin Hu raised his Chainsaw Sword and charged the last Tier Two Late Stage Tiger Spine Zerg.
Capitalizing on the speed advantage of his smaller frame and the fact that, at equal Power, the Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Sword’s destructive force far surpassed that of a Zerg’s Giant Mandible...
Qin Hu, now in his Tiger Zerg form, quickly dispatched the formidable enemy before him.
Yanking his Chainsaw Sword from the Tiger Spine Zerg’s shattered head, Qin Hu saw that Shen Jie, not far away, had also killed one of the Late Stage Tiger Spine Zergs and was now fighting the remaining two.
Panting heavily, Qin Hu wanted to recover his stamina. He had planned to go and help Shen Jie finish his fight, but he was surprised to see that Shen Jie showed no signs of decline after killing a Late Stage Tiger Spine Zerg. In fact, he seemed to be growing more exhilarated with every blow.
His reaction speed was accelerating, and the force of his slashes grew deeper and more terrifying. He clearly didn’t need any help.
Shen Jie seemed to have overcome the endurance limitations of the smaller human form, growing stronger the longer the life-or-death battle raged on.
’Perhaps this is the advantage of a young Awakener; their potential is far deeper than that of Awakeners in their thirties or forties.’
Knowing his own limits, Qin Hu chose not to interfere with Shen Jie’s battle. He waited until he felt a new surge of strength, then picked up his Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Sword and headed into the darkness to provide support.
However, in the short minute or so that his own battle had taken, one of his squad members had fallen.
A Tier One Late-Stage Perfect Awakened, with a maximum Physique Attribute Value of 200, was up against a Tier Two Middle Stage Tiger Spine Zerg with an Attribute Value of 400 or more. The power gap between them was more than double...
Even with a suit of tough Armor and a deadly weapon like the Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Sword, the massive disparity in Power and speed couldn’t be overcome by gear alone.
Moreover, most of them weren’t Genetic Warriors and couldn’t unleash power on par with Tier Two. In terms of sheer Power, they were several times weaker than the Tiger Spine Zergs.
Plus, the endless waves of Tiger Spine Zergs were always at their peak, while the Human Awakeners who had infiltrated the Hive had already endured two battles and low-intensity magnetic storm shocks.
They’d be lucky to have sixty percent of their initial strength remaining.
Now, facing enemies more than twice their own strength, they could only struggle to hold on, exhausted and fighting just to stay alive.
When Qin Hu rushed to the battlefield, he saw a human corpse. Smashed pieces of Battle Armor littered the ground around a body that had been severed at the waist.
It was a signature move of the Tiger Spine Zergs.
A Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Sword lay nearby, its blade plunged into the earth. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Qin Hu’s brow tightened. He had expected casualties, but ever since Lin Feng had joined them, he had privately hoped they would all make it out unscathed.
He just never expected them to die not from the new Tier Two Zerg Race’s ranged attacks, but to be torn apart by the Giant Mandibles of the Tiger Spine Zergs, dying in the most painful and gruesome way imaginable.
Burning with fury, Qin Hu ripped the fallen Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Sword from the ground. After connecting a spare fuel line, he brandished both swords and, with a roar, charged the nearest Tiger Spine Zerg.
With a sword in each hand, he swung them back and forth. The ZZZZZZ of the chainsaws made it impossible for the Tiger Spine Zerg to open its mandibles and get close. It was quickly torn to shreds under the frenzied cutting of the Tiger-toothed blades.
With Qin Hu joining the battle, the tide quickly turned. The difficult fight of the eight remaining members against the eight Tier Two Middle Stage Tiger Spine Zergs was swiftly resolved.
The Zerg Race’s powerful offensive crumbled.
Fighting to the very end and after killing several Zergs in a row, Qin Hu’s stamina also began to fail.
Wielding two 800-kilogram Chainsaw Swords while maintaining his Tiger Zerg Fusion form was rapidly depleting his energy.
After successfully slaying the final Tiger Spine Zerg with the help of the other two Genetic Warriors, Qin Hu immediately deactivated his form, shutting off the fluid injection from the Fusion Zygote. He then turned to look at the other battle still raging nearby.
