Natural God's Gift
#306 - Showing off
Seeing the lightning strike, Suye wasn't alarmed. Instead, it said to the Raspberry Lord, "Raspberry Lord, step back. I want to test the strength of its abilities."
"Alright, if you can't hold on, use the power within the Myriad Insect Pearl." The Raspberry Lord knew that Suye had made a special trip to train its combat abilities, so it didn't stop it.
Suye didn't respond because there was no time to waste.
"Earth Manipulation." Under Suye's control, a half-meter thick, seven- or eight-meter high earthen wall quickly rose in front of it.
"Boom!" The lightning struck the earthen wall, stirring up a cloud of dust.
"Goodness, what powerful strength." Suye was very surprised by the power of this lightning. The half-meter thick earthen wall had been pierced through.
Fortunately, it didn't hit it. Otherwise, even if it didn't create a hole, it would have broken half a leg.
"Is this the powerful combat ability of the lightning element?" Suye looked into the depths of the forest.
For a long time, insect warriors have mainly focused on managing their territories, with little combat between them.
This doesn't mean they love peace, or that they lack combat power.
In fact, this is the survival method that the insect race has chosen based on the interstellar environment.
It is known that insect warriors rely on their own life seeds to produce, evolve, and grow. As long as they don't live in extreme environments,
most insect warriors can be self-sufficient and advance to high-level warriors.
If, on this basis, they can find a God-given Seed, and with the operation of the Flame Spider Merchant, they can basically advance to the Mountain Lord level, or even the Lord level.
Having two God-given Seeds that produce a combined annual income of 600,000 Origin Stones greatly increases the probability of advancing to the Insect King level.
The lifespan of high-level insect warriors is a hundred years, the lifespan of Mountain Lord-level insect warriors is over two hundred years, the lifespan of Lord-level insect warriors is five hundred years, and the lifespan of Insect King-level warriors is over 1000 years.
During this long lifespan, they spend most of their time managing their territories, hoping to cultivate God-given Seeds, because a God-given Seed is equivalent to indirectly extending their lifespan by hundreds of years.
Raiding other insect warriors means risking their lives, and the output of insect warriors' life seeds is calculated annually. The annual output is only a small portion of the overall demand.
In this situation, who would give up a stable life to risk their lives raiding other insects?
Also, raiding definitely means raiding rich insects. No one would rob a poor ghost, right?
In the interstellar world, being rich equals having strength. If you want to rob someone, whether you can beat them is a problem.
Therefore, in most cases, insect warriors focus on managing their territories.
Only beast warriors will risk raiding when they lack resources, so insect warriors hate beast warriors.
In the Myriad Races Continent, wood and life-based auxiliary abilities are the most popular, while combat power is the most neglected.
Now, this insect warrior's frenzy has revealed its combat power.
"Are you alright?" the Raspberry Lord asked with some concern.
"I'm fine. This level of lightning can't hurt me."
Suye signaled the Raspberry Lord to move away. With two legs broken, its combat power was affected. It could just stay to the side and watch.
It stared intently at the forest, scanning back and forth with its mental power. It could see an insect warrior with a size of three to four meters lurking in the grass.
It didn't know if this Sawtooth Fork-Toed Ironclad Warrior had regained its sanity.
Fighting a sane insect is much harder than fighting an insane one.
Thinking of this, Suye decided to force it out.
"Fireball!" Suye spat out eight watermelon-sized fireballs in succession. These eight fireballs grew larger against the wind, expanding to more than a meter in diameter in just a few seconds.
The eight fireballs circled above Suye's head, then lined up and shot towards the depths of the jungle.
"Boom, boom, boom..." Explosions erupted in the jungle, and the mountains and forests were filled with fire.
A Sawtooth Fork-Toed Ironclad Warrior with a black carapace covered in bark-like bumps and antennae over a meter long could no longer hide and flew out of the forest.
Seeing it fly out, Suye didn't hold back. Its two chelicerae touched each other, and a flash of lightning appeared: "Lightning Strike!"
"Boom!" The lightning beam hit the insect warrior's elytra, and the insect warrior, who had been flying in the air, immediately fell down.
"Hit it!" Suye and the Raspberry Lord were both delighted.
But before they could rejoice, the insect warrior immediately flew back into the air.
"Whoosh!" This insect warrior had lightning-based talent and was extremely fast. It flashed to Suye's side and shook its antennae, firing a lightning beam at Suye.
Suye's fur stood on end. It didn't even have time to condense an earthen wall. If it was hit, it would probably lose a layer of skin even if it didn't die.
But it wasn't a pushover either. Its eight limbs flickered with electricity, and with a slight sway, it dodged the opponent's lightning attack.
This was a lightning-based skill it had learned when it advanced to the second-stage Mountain Lord, Flash Speed!
"Eh?" Seeing Suye dodge the attack, the Sawtooth Fork-Toed Ironclad Warrior let out a surprised sound.
Hearing this sound, Suye was also surprised. It raised its upper body and looked at the opponent: "You haven't lost your mind?"
The other party didn't respond, just flew in the air without landing. For insect warriors, air superiority is very important. If it landed on the ground, it would be no match for the spider's claws.
Seeing this, Suye didn't ask any further. The matter of raiding the Flame Spider Warrior had already happened. Whether it regained its sanity or not, the result was irreversible. In the end, they would still have to compete.
But if the other party thought it could do anything it wanted just by flying in the air, it was too naive.
"Tornado." A fierce wind swirled around Suye, quickly forming a huge tornado that attacked the opponent.
Now it was the other party's turn to be surprised. If it wasn't mistaken, this was an original Flame Spider Warrior, and it should have wood-based talent. But so far, it had already used fire, earth, lightning, and wind, meaning it had at least five elemental talents. Was this the elite that the Flame Spider Kingdom sent to deal with it?
It flew into the air, trying to avoid the tornado.
"Split." The huge tornado split into six smaller tornadoes, swirling towards it from all directions.
The Sawtooth Fork-Toed Ironclad Warrior flew to a higher altitude.
It could see that the spider in front of it was a second-stage Mountain Lord. The difference between Mountain Lord-level and Lord-level insect warriors, besides the number of abilities, was also the amount of Origin Energy stored in their bodies.
If the Origin Energy stored in a first-stage Mountain Lord is 1, then the Origin Energy stored in a first-stage Lord is 10. The Origin Energy stored in higher-level Lords is 20, 30 in sequence.
Of course, this is just a reference and not entirely fixed. It estimated that this Flame Spider Kingdom's spider warrior should be much stronger than insect warriors of the same level, but its Origin Energy reserves would definitely not exceed its own. Now, it just needed to exhaust its Origin Energy.
Although Siyue hadn't fought other Zerg warriors before, it had practiced its combat abilities with Ginkgo Spider King and Qingfeng Lord, accumulating extensive experience in facing Zerg warriors stronger than itself.
Seeing the Serrated Fork-Toed Ironclad Warrior fly high, it immediately dispersed the original energy in the tornado and turned back towards the forest.
Rather than being kited and wasting its original energy, it was better to attack what the opponent must save. If the opponent didn't come down, it would destroy its life seed.
Sure enough, seeing Siyue run towards the forest, the Serrated Fork-Toed Ironclad Warrior immediately panicked and rushed down to the ground to protect its life seed.
As soon as Siyue entered the forest, it used its earth escape ability and disappeared into the ground.
The Serrated Fork-Toed Ironclad Warrior flew into the forest but didn't see Siyue's figure. It didn't stop, but flew to one of its life seeds, watching the surroundings vigilantly.
As for the Raspberry Lord on the periphery, it wasn't worried. It was just a defeated opponent, not worth mentioning.
It had 36 life seeds planted in this area. The annual output wasn't very high, and there were no God-given seeds. Otherwise, it wouldn't have eaten black tree seeds to prolong its life.
Seeing that it had been lured in, Siyue quietly emerged from the ground, standing silently in front of one of its life seeds.
Its forelegs were slightly raised, full of threat.
"How dare you!" The Serrated Fork-Toed Ironclad Warrior's eyes were bloodshot at this sight, and it hurriedly rushed towards Siyue.
"Haha," Siyue didn't really pull out its life seed, but instead launched two fireballs to block the opponent before retreating.
It came here to test its combat power. It couldn't let the opponent leave, and it also wanted the opponent to use its abilities. Now, pulling out the life seed would make the opponent go crazy, which wouldn't be good.
The Serrated Fork-Toed Ironclad Warrior spread its wings and flew towards Siyue. Its two elytra slashed down at Siyue like giant blades.
Siyue raised its claws and pulled, and a barrier made of soil rose from the ground. It then gently tapped: "Finger to Steel!"
"Clang!" The steel-like elytra struck the steel barrier, making a huge sound.
The Serrated Fork-Toed Ironclad Warrior's heart shook violently: "Dual metal and earth abilities!"
This guy actually possesses six elemental abilities. No, maybe more than six.
"You guessed right, I'll reward you with a sword." Siyue propped up its upper body, and its four forelegs reached into the steel barrier in front of it, directly using its metal manipulation ability to draw out four three-meter-long steel swords.
Siyue wielded four swords with its four legs, fighting with the Serrated Fork-Toed Ironclad Warrior flying in the air. After years of practice, it had learned to use four swords without cutting itself.
The Serrated Fork-Toed Ironclad Warrior was very powerful. Its two elytra separated like two giant blades, slashing down with great force, and when closed, they were like a giant shield. The swords controlled by Siyue couldn't break through its defense at all.
"Metal Corrosion." Siyue tried to use this ability to corrode the opponent's carapace elytra, but the opponent's elytra were only corroded a little before immediately returning to normal.
The opponent said triumphantly: "I have awakened the memory metal ability. Your metal corrosion ability is useless to me."
Saying that, it instead used the metal corrosion ability on the great swords in Siyue's claws.
The four great swords in Siyue's claws were quickly corroded.
It retreated from the jungle. This guy was really difficult to deal with. It had the power and speed of lightning, the steel hardness of metal, and it could also fly to occupy the air superiority. It could be said that it had maximized its attack power. No wonder it dared to rob the Flame Spider merchant caravan. If it were an ordinary Flame Spider Lord, it might not be able to do anything to it.
However, Siyue hadn't exhausted all its means.
Several streams of its original energy struck the sky, and the clouds began to gather, becoming as black as ink.
"Favorable Winds and Rain!" The wind howled, and for some reason, even though it was a summer breeze, the Serrated Fork-Toed Ironclad Warrior felt a trace of coldness.
It started to rain in the sky. Although it didn't know what harm this rain had, it knew that this must be the spider's ability targeting it, and it subconsciously wanted to get away.
"Can you escape?" Siyue couldn't help but feel a little smug seeing it flying around in the air like a headless fly.
The Favorable Winds and Rain ability itself didn't have much combat power. It could even be said that its greatest use was to manage the territory, but when combined with other abilities, this ability became somewhat unsolvable.
"Extreme Freeze."
Freezing rain fell on the flying Serrated Fork-Toed Ironclad Warrior. Its elytra were as hard as iron, but its hind wings didn't have much defensive power.
Moreover, Zerg warriors relied on flapping their hind wings to fly with the help of the wind. Now, drops of freezing rain fell on its exposed hind wings, its wings quickly iced over, and its flight speed gradually slowed down, and then it fell to the ground.
"Haha, you're finished." Siyue condensed a layer of steel armor on the surface of its body and quickly stepped forward.
If the opponent fell to the ground, it would have won half the battle. After all, on the ground, which insect could fight a spider? Especially since this was Siyue, who possessed earth-type talent.
Even though its membranous wings were frozen, the opponent was still fierce and undiminished, and streams of lightning struck Siyue.
The lightning struck the steel armor on Siyue's surface, making crackling sounds, but Siyue didn't retreat at all.
Besides its own power, lightning also relies on its impact force. By unloading that impact force, this lightning really didn't pose much of a threat to Siyue. Who doesn't have a lightning-type talent? Controlling these lightning bolts isn't easy?
"Swamp Submergence." The ground under the Serrated Fork-Toed Ironclad Warrior's feet suddenly became extremely soft. Its huge weight pressed it straight down, and when it tried to fly up, it found that its wings were already frozen stiff.
It struggled to climb out of the swamp, but only sank deeper and deeper. When most of its body was submerged in the swamp, leaving only a head outside, Siyue used its burning ability in conjunction with its heart fire ability to directly ignite this area.
There were bursts of screams from the swamp. Siyue directly pulled out a steel sword and inserted it into the opponent's head, giving it a quick death when it was unable to resist.
Then it sent a message to the Raspberry Lord outside: "Raspberry Lord, it's done."
The Raspberry Lord walked in, very surprised. It had been paying attention to the battle here, and it didn't expect Siyue to really clean up the opponent, and it didn't even use the Fang Insect Pearl.
"Siyue, in terms of combat, you have surpassed us old spiders."
Siyue didn't say anything. It had won this battle entirely by taking advantage of the right time and place. If it hadn't threatened the opponent with its life seed, the opponent would have flown away long ago.
Moreover, it had used no less than ten of its seven elemental abilities during the battle. With the abilities working together and taking advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness, it had taken down the opponent. It didn't think it was something to be proud of.
"Go look for any remaining original energy food!"
