Chapter 708: Escape From the Insect Mouth
The bugs were getting closer and closer to them. The injured Eldar closed his eyes and sensed the movements of the bugs in the mist.
The six scattered knife bugs were separated from the node creatures, so they only acted on the instinct of hunger.
This greatly reduced their danger level, but it was still a threat that could not be underestimated for a seriously injured Eldar and ordinary soldiers.
And these bugs were definitely not the last batch to attack them. As the unique smell of the Eldar spread, more and more bugs would come here.
"There are two bugs at 10 o'clock."
Mal aimed the gun and vaguely saw two shadows approaching silently from the smoke.
The shooting light of the laser gun illuminated the dim forest, and also allowed Mal to see the specific appearance of the knife bugs.
One of the knife bugs had a broken forelimb, which was probably the injury left when the Ork warship crashed.
In any case, the weaker these bugs are, the better.
The laser beam was well-received by the muzzle. Mal could use the mechanical sight to see the running movements of the knife worms and use the laser to break their joints.
A knife worm broke a leg. It fell to the ground and moved back and forth with its front and hind legs, which greatly slowed down its speed.
Mal took this opportunity to aim the laser gun at another worm. This worm was only about 20 meters away from Mal. It was not difficult for these swift little worms to cross this distance.
5 lasers were used to soften the carapace, and 3 lasers were used to destroy the limbs.
This was a small experience Mal summed up in a defensive battle. At a distance of 20 meters, he had to repeatedly shoot the laser in a circular area with a radius of 5 cm.
The energy of the magazine was quickly consumed. Mal shot through the head of the knife worm. It roared in pain and rushed towards Mal with its legs.
In a flash, Mal thrust the laser gun forward, and the bayonet hanging from the muzzle pierced the knife worm's open bloody mouth, crushing its slender and slippery tongue.
A knife worm that lost a forelimb was still quite dangerous, after all, this worm had a total of four claws.
Mal's bulletproof armor was being torn apart by the two forelimbs on the abdomen of the knife worm. The worm could dig open Mal's chest as long as it tried harder.
Chi!
Mal used both arms to pull the laser gun upward, and the bayonet left a vertical wound on the knife worm's head.
The knife worm died, and its exhausted body pressed on Mal's body, making him a little unstable.
Another injured worm also rushed over, and Mal couldn't free his hands for a while, so he could only use the knife worm as a shield and shrink his body as much as possible.
The laser beam hit the knife worm's eyes, and several laser shots were extremely accurate, almost hitting the same point.
The knife worm's eyeballs evaporated, the laser beam hit the brain, and all the soft tissues in the head were burned.
The support of the Aida Eldar was timely, but there were still four bugs approaching them.
There were more bugs behind, and the warrior bug, as a node creature, caught the smell of the Eldar from the smoke.
"Finally, this is fate." The Aida Eldar accepted her fate, and a complex relief hung on her face.
The compromise with fate and the cold and faint fear of death were hidden in her tense face.
This attitude of giving up life made Mal very angry. He pulled up the Aida Eldar roughly, not caring about the latter's screams.
At this time, Mal's brain turned quickly, and he threw the burning grenade on his waist, using the rising flames to delay the speed of the bugs.
"It's useless. Put me down and let me die with my friends." The Aida Eldar pleaded.
"Shut up! You damn coward!" Mal's roar suppressed the voice of the Aida Eldar, and he ran like this as a struggle against his fate of death.
The cries of the insects were getting closer and closer to them, and the Eldar carried on Mal's back also used laser pistols to attack the attacking insects.
The insects whose eyes were pierced fell into a brief chaos, but the approach of the warrior insects made them recover quickly.
The venom and bone spurs of the insects whizzed past them, and the nearby trees trembled and dropped ash and dead leaves because of the running of the insect swarm, but Mal was still running with the Eldar on his back.
He swore that he had never run so fast before. This was probably what the Military Affairs Department often promoted - believe in your own strength! You are great humans!
The light through the smoke made Mal even more excited, which was proof that they were about to rush out of the Death Forest.
Next they could see the open grassland, and the communicator on their chests could finally connect to the headquarters.
As for what would be on the grassland, whether it was insects, orcs, or pagans, this was not something Mal could decide.
He had done his best, that's it.
"Lie down! Soldier!"
Such a clear command made Mal subconsciously fall down.
This is a very unique sound of shooting. Mal has never heard such a sound in his service.
It is more violent than the sound of laser gun shooting, and deeper than the sound of plasma shooting.
The red-purple laser beam is so thick and hot that Mal felt sweaty just by glancing at it with his peripheral vision.
The insects were hit by these violent lasers, and their whole bodies burned, turning into a ball of ash in a few seconds.
"Your Majesty, this is too damn fierce."
Mal stared blankly at the insects being evaporated and dispersed by the lasers, and the joy of surviving the disaster made him smile.
"Haha! We survived!"
Laughing at his good fortune, Mal climbed up and pulled the Eldar up with him. A giant stood in the light in the distance.
This was a Space Marine, Mal recognized it clearly. Although he couldn't see the armor and paint clearly, he could tell from the general outline.
The guardian of the star zone had come to their side and liberated the planet caught in the flames of war.
"From one death to another. Fate is so cruel." The Eldar said sadly.
"What?" Mal didn't understand, he still smiled, "We are saved, this is an angel."
"For you, it's like this." The Eldar continued, and suddenly she realized something, frowned and pushed Mal away with difficulty. "My injury is healed, please stay away from me, it's better to shoot me directly."
"Are you scared silly by the bugs?" Mal asked with a raised eyebrow, this Eldar was really difficult to get along with.
"My name is Mal."
The Eldar looked at Mal's outstretched hand for a while, and then looked at Mal's face.
Stupidity is shocking.
The Eldar made such a comment in his heart, but did not hold Mal's hand, but just told him that his name was Lan Ya.
