The Ultimate Evolution - Chapter 257

Chapter 257

Faced with Reef's interrogation, Mogensha smiled but didn't reply; his mind reflected deeply into his memories . Reef glanced at Mogensha's expression, sincerely continuing .

"I remember when you guys parted, crazy Harnik and Qiaoer were discussing furiously; they believed that you were afraid that your personal gains for equipments would be affected within this party . The equipment rewards should be at least a silver storyline class, hence you brazenly deserted us . If not, we really couldn't find the motive for your actions . "

Mogensha's expression turned heavy as he bitterly smiled, and shook his head . He sighed and replied .

"The reason I am now a free agent, strictly speaking, it was singlehandedly orchestrated by boss . "

Reef became increasingly curious .

"Seaman singlehandedly turned you into a free agent? How is that so?"

Mogensha gently shook his head .

"The Symbiosis sect previously activated a Assembling rock, and staked everything on stealing Harry Potter world's Philosopher's stone . In the end, we were obstructed by the Banks Syndicate, every close combat individual, even Qiao Gun met their ends . In the end, the Metals Professor, Fanu and several others infiltrated into the underground Gringotts, seeking to steal the treasure . Their underlings were actually treated as cannon fodder, especially the newly recruited Seaman . "

Reef's face was already displaying a look of disbelief . He wasn't stupid and could roughly guess what Mogensha was about to say .

"Don't tell me . . . . . "

"That's right . I have no clue what the hell happened in Gringotts . But the ultimate result was that the founders and everyone were annihilated, and the party disbanded . . . . . . except the only survivor was him! Seaman!"

Mogensha bitterly smiled .

"At that time, in my heart Seaman was just like a stock that had good prospects . But after I received the news of the Metals Professor and Fanu dying, I unconditionally knew that he was going to be my boss . "

Reef pondered over the meaning behind Mogensha's words, in a flash his admiration for this Seaman fella leapt up by bounds . To be able to rely on himself to survive under such a treacherous situation, even Reef believed he didn't have that ability . Moreover, he even managed to eliminate the Metals Professor and Fanu?

As the two chatted away, the Spore Colony health had gradually dwindled away . "Boom!" An explosion as blood water soared to the heavens . Sheyan immediately cast his fears about the fuel away, fully activating his 'Prometheus III Flamethrower' . Twin fiery dragons roared out, barbecuing 17-18 zerglings in a clump of wildfire; before swiftly departing . This moment, their formation changed into - Reef as rear guard, Mogensha in the middle and Sheyan leading the escape . The 3 quickly boarded the Overlord and traversed further away . The trio was brimming with abundant battle experience, their first cooperation was indeed flawless .

On board the Overlord, the trio finally relaxed a little . Besides, there was still a mutalisk leading the route ahead, warning them if anything was amiss . Reef was currently extremely interested in Sheyan, taking the initiative to question him about his innate defensive ability . Sheyan had already planned to build good relations with Reef, hence he didn't try to hide anything; straightforwardly sharing his C+ innate details to him . Reef was instantly flabbergasted and enlightened, now he understood why Sheyan was able to endure for so long within the zergling horde .

Naturally, when dealing with a 500 strong zergling crowd, Sheyan would be able to sustain a little longer . But when dealing simultaneously against 10 elite zerglings, then undoubtedly Reef would be able to survive much longer . Following that, the trio consecutively raided 2 other Redliner bases with consecutive victories . During their operation, they slayed close to 200 zerglings, several dozens of hydralisks . But when they arrived at the next Redliner subsidiary base, when they were about to begin their assault; Sheyan abruptly halted their action plan .

The reason for giving up was simple and even absurd - Because he and Mogensha simultaneously sensed something was wrong, such a reason was just an omen and didn't have a substantial justification . But Sheyan was bent on discarding their plan . Using their perception as warning was naturally a ridiculous reason, but the nightmare realm was filled with danger in all corners . Their perceptive sensing would definitely warn them of any fatally dangerous location or terrain . But as the saying goes, dangers creeps up on those seeking riches and honor; not daring to take a chance based on pure premonition was akin to not eating for the fear of choking .

Hence, the bigger usage for perceptive sensing was in avoiding a sudden sneak attack or ambush, protective oneself from any hidden fatalities . Actually this last minute behavior of changing their plans mid operation was rarely seen in the nightmare realm . But he didn't bother explaining much, directly commanding the Overlord to distance themselves before speaking in a solemn tone .

"That previous base didn't showcase any signs of being recently attacked, but the amount of zerglings was actually less than a hundred . Furthermore, the other bases had no less than 50 drones harvesting Pandora crystals; but there were only roughly 45 drones in this base . Apart from that, the frequency rate of the drones entering and leaving the Spawning organs were extremely diligent . "

Sheyan didn't say anything else, but Mogensha and Reef understood his intentions . Where were the other zerglings hidden at? Moreover, in order for the arachnid race to construct an organ structure, it required the sacrifice of a drone as the organ's core . Then where did the missing 5 drones go, what were they constructing? The frequency and efficiency of the drones also explained another points; that meant a huge batch of arachnid larvas were being spawned, therefore the need for massive amounts of Pandora crystals!

If only one suspicious point appeared, it could be considered a coincidence . But if all the signs were present, then most likely it was a trap . Of course to the Redliner tribe, this thoughtful planning was to bait the Blackthorn Overmind . But regrettably, their opponent now was a contestant!

"Then what is our next course of action?" Reef questioned . His words were obviously exhibiting a certain reliance . A party leader wasn't for someone to acclaim himself, credibility was based on the minute details, fostering it bit by bit . When others recognized one as a fat pile of reliance, then not assuming that position would be hard .

Sheyan laughed .

"Our primary objective for this skirmish, is to confuse the Redliner tribe's Overmind, while assessing the situation of the bases . The ultimate aim is to plunder a subsidiary base for its crystals, and gain some achievements . Since we have a target, then obviously we head over for it . "

Reef took in a deep breath and asked .

"Your target, is it that subsidiary base number 1?"

Sheyan nodded, confirming his suspicions .

"That's an affirmative . "

************

Under the dim lighting, a hydralisk was dutifully patrolling around the base . Although there was a clear wound over it, it was slithering over their native nourishing carpet . Its strength was steadily restoring to optimum . Although the previous sneak attack of mutalisks dealt heavy damages to their base, the enemy was similarly not without severe casualties . Spore Colonies were scattered everywhere with distinct wounds, yet the carpet was littered with decomposing black mutalisks .

Suddenly, a warning transmitted from the far distance . An arachnid would emit a certain hormone before battle, similar to bees and ants; other races wouldn't be able to notice their smell signal, but it was clear as daylight to similar race species . Undoubtedly, this hydralisk spared no delay in rushing towards the battlefield . But at the moment it slid out of the base, a volley of flaming tongue illuminated from 100 metres away!

DA DA DA DA DA . The clear, crisp gunshots echoed out . This hydralisk reacted swiftly, turning to spray its acidic jet at the hidden enemy . Instead, the incoming bullets drilled it to the ground with tremendous ferocity . Its body exploded instantaneously, forming into a blood pool with swirling chunks of flesh .

From roughly a kilometre away, Sheyan and Reef battled shoulder to shoulder within an open land . They had approximately slayed off close to a hundred zerglings . Their mutalisk and Overlord were both parked at the far ends to the east and west . If the Redliner Overmind dispatched reinforcements here, undoubtedly they would serve as the early warning signal .

However, according to the communicated information transmitted by the Blackthorn tribe half an hour earlier, Overmind Mozi had already dispatched nearly a quarter of his forces; beginning a mass scale invasion of the Redliner Overmind's 4th subsidiary base, 300 kilometres from here . The quantity of Pandora crystals stored was calculated to exceed even the Redliner tribe's main base! Although this attack could be described as a feign, but it could snowball into a mass scale invasion in a short span of time!

Hence to the Redliner Overmind, protecting its 4th subsidiary base was of critical importance . Therefore, merely a 3 man sneak ambush onto its 1st subsidiary base, would surely be neglected by the Redliner Overmind . More importantly, the crystal ore mine in the 1st base was already on the verge of drying up; thus its strategic value was already greatly lessened .

"It is soon I guess . " Reef cleanly pulled out his shining black sword from the chest of a zergling . Thick greenish fluid dripped from its slimy surface, evaporating into fumes in no time . "If they didn't spawn out new units, then their forces here should be dried up anytime soon . "

Back facing each other, they did look quite pathetic . But actually, they only suffered superficial wounds . Their every movements still carried perfect vigor and nimbleness, not influenced the least by each other's individual battles . Sheyan nodded .

"AK, how is the condition over there?"

"F***! That hydralisk sprayed acid onto my 'Package*'! Heavens, if my functionality is impaired in the future, I swear I will slaughter all hydralisks alive!" Mogensha roared out in rage .

(TN:* he is referring to his crotch)

Sheyan wasn't impressed .

"I have no interest with what small toy the hydralisk shot at . I'm asking how many units can you see at the base . "
