Warhammer III

Taiyue and Jerome traveled between different hive cities, killing groups of Tyranid creatures along the way.

The sky above the hive city was filled with Tyranid air forces, and the imperial forces had long lost their air supremacy. This was the reason why Taiyue did not choose to drive the Thunderhawk gunship and go directly to the location of the hive tyrant.

The heavily armed Taiyue is like a mobile fortress, melting to open the way, plasma to destroy enemies, explosive bombs to fire, and high-energy lasers to sweep across large swaths of Tyranid creatures.

Jerome used psychic lightning attacks without exception, instantly turning a large area of ​​Tyranid swarms into charcoal.

When more Tyranid swarms came over, the two quickly left the battlefield, using metal cells to shield psychic energy to sneak through the sparse tubes of Tyranid creatures or climb on vertical metal supports.

The actions of the two quickly attracted the attention of the hive consciousness, and the node creatures even disrupted the deployment of the insect swarms along the way to surround and intercept the two.

This indirectly provided opportunities for the Imperial troops along the way to counterattack, igniting the Imperial troops' will to resist.

After more than ten days of rapid march, the two arrived at a giant hive in the southeast of the central hive group. There was a hive tyrant commanding the swarm to besiege the largest fortress in the hive.

"The target is almost 40 kilometers away from us. After we advance a few kilometers, we will stop to replenish energy, weapons and ammunition!"

Tai Yue turned to Jerome and said that he had just used his psychic powers to pinpoint the location of the Hive Tyrant.

Jerome agreed, and the two soon arrived at a dilapidated fortress, which was transformed from a small factory. It is unknown when the Tyranids broke through here.

Only the scratches of Tyranid creatures were left on the metal wall. Ammunitions were scattered on the hard ground. The smell of blood and stench remained in the air. The corpses of the people of the empire had been recovered by tearing insects.

"After taking turns to rest here for two hours, we will move on."

After Tai Yue finished speaking, he leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest. After Jerome glanced around, he chose a piece of gravel and sat down.

During the ten-day march, when they did not encounter Tyranid creatures, the two relied on the function of the autonomic ganglia to let the left and right brains rest separately. This operation could avoid fatigue to a certain extent, but in order to fully restore physical strength and energy Still need deep sleep.

Jerome's use of psychic energy consumed more energy, and he was the first to enter a deep sleep.

Half of Taiyue's brain began to rest, while the other half of his brain was alert to the surrounding situation.

"alert!"

An hour later, Taiyue suddenly woke up Jerome, and the incoming enemy triggered his battle precognition.

The ground began to shake, dust was raised, and at the same time there was an imperceptible crackling sound of static electricity.

The ground where Tai Yue and Jerome were was suddenly collapsed, and a bloody mouth emerged from the ground, trying to swallow the two.

"Dig the python!"

After Taiyue recognized the enemy, he immediately activated his jetpack and jumped to an open space more than ten meters away.

Jerome floated into the air, and the Star Magic Book, a relic of the Thousand Sons, beside him emitted a soft blue light.

For Tyranid enemies, attacks from below are very difficult to detect and more difficult to defend effectively, but this does not include Taiyue and Jerome.

This python is more than ten meters long and is much larger than the average python. It is obviously a mutant hatched by Queen Norn.

The Python is a fearsome, serpentine Tyranid creature that can penetrate almost any obstacle to create underground tunnels through which other Tyranid creatures can bypass enemy defenses.

When the python digs a tunnel, it can obtain a large amount of electrostatic charge through movement and friction. These electrostatic charges are stored on the containment spines of the python's body.

The containment thorns are also special spike structures made of chitin material, which can store a large amount of electrostatic charge and release it concentratedly.

These static electricity can not only help the python to stabilize the tunnel excavated, but also melt the soil or rocks around the tunnel into a glassy silicate layer, thus preventing changes in structural stress from causing tunnel collapse.

The python can also control biological electrostatic charges to attack enemies, forming powerful bioelectric pulses that can easily destroy Imperial tanks and vehicles.

Seeing that it was unable to attack Jerome in the air, this mutated python turned around and attacked Taiyue. Behind it, groups of small Tyranid creatures would pour out of the tunnel.

Jerome, who was in the air, directly used his psychic powers to burn the entire tunnel to prevent more Tyranid creatures from coming to the battlefield.

When he was about to hunt the mutated python from the air, a group of Tyranid flying creatures surrounded him.

These Tyranid flying creatures evolved from Tyranid warriors and became winged Tyranid warriors. Their top pair of sickle claws have been specialized into membrane wings.

Winged Tyranid warriors can not only fly in the air, but are more powerful than ordinary Tyranid warriors. Their other two pairs of claws are symbiotic with flesh-eating guns and monomolecular bone swords, allowing them to engage in both melee and long-range attacks. .

"Hush, rest, rest!"

The winged Tyranid warrior's symbiotic flesh-eating gun convulsed and shot out a cone-shaped ball of flesh bullets, which was filled with various parasites like a honeycomb.

The acid secreted by these parasites can dissolve power armor. The parasites then burrow into the victim's body, travel along the victim's nervous system to the brain and devour the brain. The pain caused by this process is enough to drive the victim crazy.

"Damn it!"

Jerome cursed and deployed a fire barrier. The flesh bombs and parasites quickly turned into ashes. He then drew out the psychic scimitar Farewell Blade and slashed at the winged Tyranid warrior beside him.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Taiyue retreated while using the grenade gun to counterattack the approaching small Tyranid creatures and mutant digging pythons.

The small Tyranid creatures were directly blown into a blood mist under the attack of the grenade, but when attacking the mutant digging python, the grenade was either successfully defended by its heavy chitin armor or detonated in advance by the lightning shot by the containment thorns.

The mutant digging python took the opportunity to surround Taiyue in the middle, and the containment thorns immediately released static electricity to form a surging lightning.

Taiyue's eyes sank, and he drew out the gravity blade to prepare for a counterattack, but he clearly felt that the power armor could no longer keep up with his speed.

There is no doubt that some electronic components of the power armor were overloaded and damaged under the attack just now.

The mutant digging python also found that Taiyue's movements slowed down, and three pairs of claws flashing with arcs quickly attacked.

Facing the enemy's critical hit, Taiyue did not dodge, but stretched out his unarmed left hand for defense.

"Boom!"

The armor on his left hand exploded directly. It was not the blade of the mutant digging python that destroyed it, but the Tyrant Shield formed by the metal cells that opened the hand armor and blocked the attacking blade.

He swung the gravity blade without hesitation to draw a black arc, directly cutting off half of the mutant digging python's head along with the lightning claws.

The psychic shock generated by the death of the mutant digging python spread, and the small Tyranid creatures that were acting as dead and injured.

Taiyue walked towards the body of the mutant digging python, removed the containment thorns on the surface of the mutant digging python with his bare hands, and then let the metal cells devour the containment thorns to obtain the corresponding power storage structure.

The metal cells on his left hand gradually formed a curved spike structure similar to the containment thorns, densely covering the entire arm.
