Dundee's armor, of course, was custom-made, so those few blows didn't hurt him much, but a facehugger had already seized the opportunity to attack! If it were hit head-on, the situation would be quite unfavorable! Fortunately, at this moment, a figure suddenly pounced from the side, its hands like iron pincers, gripping the facehugger's neck tightly! Its strength was enormous, and it happened to wedge itself onto the facehugger's center of gravity when it pounced, immediately causing the tragic creature to let out a shrill hiss, flapping its wings and helplessly rolling to the side.

Amidst the swirling dust, the facehugger struggled frantically, but the figure riding on it was as firm as a rock, raising its fist and hammering down again and again, truly giving off a sense of unwavering and complete suppression! Another facehugger, seeing that the situation was not good, was already flapping its wings, trying to fly away when the crisp sound of gunfire, "tat-tat-tat," echoed from the distance. The first bullet hit its left eye, and the second and third bullets directly brought out several sparks on the nearby cliff, then a few pieces of gravel splashed, and a huge rock rumbled down, smashing the facehugger alive from the air to the ground! Viscous blood flowed directly from the bottom of the boulder.

Three minutes later, the facehugger that Fang Senyan had captured alive was completely knocked unconscious. Clear red stripes could be seen on its abdomen and wings, which looked very distinct. This should be the symbol of the group it belonged to, and the shape of the stripes was very similar to the Zerg encountered on the battlefield when Fang Senyan fought the Scorching Mandible. Mogansha had even eaten the Zerg grilled, so he confirmed Fang Senyan's judgment.

At this time, probably because the host who narrowly escaped death had also handed over the collected information to the mother nest, many Hydralisks with anti-air capabilities could be seen rapidly wriggling across the ground, starting to seize the high ground around the base.

And soon, Fang Senyan and the others also received the Overmind's psionic transmission:

"My friends, it seems you have caught a Viper. Can you bring it to me?"

Fang Senyan naturally had to satisfy this request, and he dragged the unconscious facehugger toward the mother nest.

The Blackthorn Overmind, Mozhi, after evolving and possessing its own carapace, didn't shrink back into the heavily guarded mother nest all day long to avoid risks, like it used to in the fourth stage. It would usually take a group of guards to inspect the territory, so they encountered each other on the west side of the base.

Fang Senyan threw the half-dead facehugger in front of it. The Blackthorn Overmind, Mozhi, then had its subordinates hold it down, and began to bury its head and use brainwaves to read its memories until the unlucky guy couldn't withstand the pressure and its head exploded into blood and gore with a "pa-la" sound.

"We're in big trouble." There was a kind of anxiety in the Blackthorn Overmind, Mozhi's voice. It raised its short, thick forelimbs and waved them on the ground, and the surrounding flesh and blood organs automatically dissolved, then formed an extremely terrifying and strange three-dimensional flesh and blood map in front of Fang Senyan and the others. Then, Mozhi began to explain:

"My nemesis, the Red Stripe Tribe, has also unified several surrounding tribes and advanced to a Tier 4 base ahead of schedule. The area it occupies mostly consists of Pandora crystal mines that are low in quality. If they are mined with all their strength, they will be exhausted in a short time. The Red Stripe Overmind has always been my mortal enemy. Publicly, I occupy the Pandora crystal mine with the richest reserves, and privately, the hatred between it and me is also very deep. Therefore, in the short term, we will inevitably have a battle to the death!!"

Fang Senyan took the opportunity to raise the question in his heart:

"On the way here, I saw a battlefield. The Zerg units fighting in it were black Zerg and a tribe with a clear red mark fighting each other. The black Zerg looked a lot like our troops. I wonder if this is related to the hatred between you?"

The Blackthorn Overmind, Mozhi, spread its scarab-like huge carapace wings and began to fan them, looking quite anxious. After a while, a psionic wave came:

"That force was the elite I sent out. Otherwise, the Thick Liquid Tribe would not have had the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and abduct me. I didn't expect the Red Stripe Overmind to have hidden its strength. Although it only sent out ordinary troops, it mixed in several new powerful units, so that my army was completely wiped out."

"New units?" An Senyan's heart moved. Although he already had a rough idea of the target, he still allowed the Blackthorn Overmind, Mozhi, to continue transmitting information.

"Our Zerg Queen can absorb the genes of some local native creatures and create some new combat weapons. Although these combat weapons may not be suitable for combat in all planetary environments, they are the most powerful in their native land. The Red Stripe Tribe's mother nest has commandeered and modified a huge local beetle, integrating it into a huge fire-breathing beetle, which is quite powerful. Of course, the construction cost is very expensive, and the probability of successful hatching is very low."

An Senyan asked strangely:

"Then why can't the Blackthorn Mother absorb and create this kind of unit?"

The Blackthorn Overmind, Mozhi, continuously transmitted thoughts:

"The location we occupy is not the origin of that kind of beetle, so the number of experimental subjects that can be captured is extremely limited. The high-energy Pandora crystal mine here prevents us from abandoning this base. So in terms of translating the genetic code, we are a bit behind. According to the information just obtained, the Red Stripe Tribe has advanced to a Tier 4 base three days in advance. It now has nearly ten fire-breathing beetles, and is continuing to hoard troops, so it wants to break through and seize our occupation here, so we need help!! Please delay the Red Stripe Tribe's attack as much as possible!"

After obtaining this information, Mogansha faintly felt that he had been greatly deceived and suffered a great loss. After the Blackthorn Overmind, Mozhi, finished speaking, he and Fang Senyan simultaneously received a prompt again:

"You have obtained a side quest: Crisis of the Blackthorn Tribe."

"Quest Difficulty: B."

"Quest Content: Do everything possible to delay the Red Stripe Tribe's attack time."

"Quest Description: The Blackthorn Tribe needs 48 hours to upgrade to a Tier 4 mother nest and have sufficient defense strength. You must buy them 48 hours."

"Quest Description: After reaching 48 hours, every additional hour delayed will grant additional rewards and evaluation. The maximum delay time is capped at four hours."

"Your current reputation in the Blackthorn Tribe is: Revered. You cannot refuse this quest."

"If this quest fails, you will receive a penalty of a reduction in the highest basic attribute points, a reduction of 7 points in merit."

"Wait!" Mogansha took a deep breath, with some despair in his eyes, and asked: "Respected Blackthorn... please, where is the Red Stripe Tribe's base located?"

The Blackthorn Overmind, Mozhi, answered very quickly:

"You can definitely find the tribe established by that fool 400 kilometers to the east."

The black guy, Mogansha, felt a darkness before his eyes, and almost spat out a mouthful of blood. At this time, Fang Senyan thought of that dark thing in his personal space, which was the unknown nodule that dropped after killing the initial Legendary creature: the Scorching Mandible. And the attached description of this nodule was: No human knows what this thing is for!

Na pa... Not every creature in the Blackthorn Tribe is human!

Is this hinting at something?

With this thought, Fang Senyan directly handed this thing over to the Goblin Gold Mine, and then asked him to "freely use" it and give it to the Blackthorn Tribe. The Gold Mine very happily accepted this task. He seemed to derive great pleasure from this kind of rare bargaining. Before long, Fang Senyan received a prompt:

"Your servant, Gold Mine, has given the Scorching Mandible's gene core to the Blackthorn Tribe on your behalf."

"Your servant Gold Mine's racial ability: Haggling lv5 takes effect. This gift will be defaulted to being carried out with a charm extreme value of 50 points in this world."

"Your servant Gold Mine's hidden ability to extort takes effect. The Blackthorn Tribe's inventory is reduced by a number, the Blackthorn Tribe's treasures are reduced by a number, and the Blackthorn Tribe's looted goods are reduced by a number."

"The Blackthorn Overmind, Mozhi, and the Blackthorn Mother are very grateful to you."

"Your reputation in the Blackthorn Tribe is increased by: 10000 points."

Seeing the Gold Mine running away with a sinister smile, Fang Senyan couldn't help but offer his condolences and deep sympathy to the Blackthorn Tribe's warehouse. Only ten seconds later, the Blackthorn Overmind, Mozhi, sent a psionic transmission:

"My friend, thank you for your support. The mother nest has analyzed the perfect gene combination sequence of the fire-breathing bug. It is expected that the finished product can be hatched in ten minutes. Its only drawback is that it needs to consume a considerable amount of Pandora crystals and rich lv5g rare minerals."

Fang Senyan also breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing this. Now, for the Blackthorn Tribe, they also have multiple Pandora crystal mine resources, one of which is an enviable high-energy rich mine. As long as they start up the horsepower and make more drones for production, the crystal energy units should be more than enough. Now that there is a unit that can confront the opponent's fire-breathing bugs head-on, and the attacking side's reinforcements will have to travel a full 400 kilometers once produced, while the defending side's troops can immediately enter the battle once produced, and have natural advantages in supply, the probability of successfully defending will naturally be much greater.
