Chapter 446: Chapter 118 Continuous Ups and Downs, Frequent Situations_1

One can infer a lot of information from the size of the Nest.

The most obvious is the civilization level of the World where the Insect Race owning the Nest resides.

The Nest positioned before the interstellar battleship “Cloud Rainbow” is a typical version owned by the Insect Race from a Level 5 civilization World.

The primary purpose of the Nest is not for interstellar combat, thus there’s no need to worry that the “Cloud Rainbow” will be quickly destroyed by the Nest.

As the core of an Insect Race community, its role is to proliferate in times of peace and to deliver troops in times of war.

Therefore, the moment the Nest appeared signified that the “Cloud Rainbow” was surrounded by countless short-distance capable Insect Race groups.

The trouble the “Cloud Rainbow” has to deal with is not the Nest, but those temporarily concealed Insect Race.

Sandra reacted quickly, giving an order: “Activate all reconnaissance modes at full power, find all the bugs hidden in the dark, assess the battle situation, attack if we can, retreat if we can’t.”

“Yes.”

The Tower Spirit responded solemnly.

In an instant, all kinds of reconnaissance equipment on the “Cloud Rainbow” began to operate at full power.

One after another, grotesque and terrifying Insect Race were quickly found and marked with their positions.

The Insect Race army seemed abundant, completely surrounding the “Cloud Rainbow” from top to bottom, left to right.

All were still quite far from the “Cloud Rainbow”, beyond the reconnaissance range when it was suspended, and could not launch an attack for a while.

Otherwise, the Insect Race could not have been so well concealed to only reveal themselves now.

What’s strange is that, even after being discovered, the Insect Race remained quiet.

Neither the Nest nor the Insect Race surrounding the “Cloud Rainbow” were moving, which was odd.

This made the sudden appearance of the Nest a redundant move that inevitably resulted in failure.

Link glanced at the holographic projection, roughly understood the situation, and didn’t continue to pay attention.

The “Cloud Rainbow” belongs to Sandra herself, he shouldn’t meddle too much.

After the Tower Spirit’s assessment, the current comparison of strength between the two sides is still balanced, and there’s no need to consider retreating for now.

Feeling restless about retreating as it was, Sandra fell into thought for a moment.

The three original goals of this mission may still be achievable.

But the three additional goals she set herself had absolutely no chance of being achieved.

However, recklessly initiating an attack before figuring out the details of the suddenly appeared Nest and this wave of Insect Race is also not a good choice.

Considering this, she gave the latest instruction: “Do not attack actively for now, maintain a suitable distance, and do not give the Insect Race an opportunity to focus fire. If the Insect Race launches an attack, prioritize dodging and defending. Retaliate when the timing is right.”

“Yes.”

The Tower Spirit faithfully executed each of Sandra’s instructions, but also automatically patched things up.

The interstellar battleship “Cloud Rainbow” entered a state ready to maneuver at any time.

The warp engine was already preheating.

Once there is an abnormal situation, it can undergo warp speed and leave this star zone.

After making these adjustments, the Tower Spirit issued a prompt: “The identity of the unknown injured person has been discovered, treatment is in progress, treatment is complete, the injured person’s condition is currently stable.”

Upon hearing this, Sandra turned her attention back to the four companions lying in the transparent compartment.

Link had been paying attention to these four people’s situation.

He witnessed the entire process of the Tower Spirit identifying the small spots on the four people’s hands from the vast amount of data after the inspection, and then removing the small spots according to the recorded method.

Once the small spots were gone, their life signs stabilized instantly.

With the large amount of vitality supplemented, not only were they out of life-threatening danger, but they also showed signs of awakening.

“The small spot is a medium, the attack method is a curse.”

Recalling how the four fell and the time, recalling the feeling when he was attacked by the howling wave, Link intuited that the fatal injuries to the four were not caused by the howling attack, but had other reasons.

By carefully comparing the relevant memories and knowledge in his mind, Link came to this conclusion.

Just because Witchcraft of curses has declined in the Wizard World, doesn’t mean other civilizations also lack advanced curses.

As for insects, they play with poison first, then curses, and numb with quantity.

This is common knowledge in All Heavens and Realms.

In the Wizard World, in order to silently curse four Tier 2 wizards to death, at least a Tier 3 wizard had to do it in order for it to be possible.

To cause four Tier 2 wizards to be cursed to death without any resistance, the person applying the curse must at least have the strength of an experienced Tier 3 wizard like the Serene Wizard.

According to the real combat power after the decline of the Insect Race, if the conversion is made, it’s certain that there is a Tier 4 or higher Insect Race lurking in the mission World.

Combining this with the comet-sized Nest in front of the “Cloud Rainbow”, Link thought that the enemies they are facing, in both number and strength, are perhaps far more than what has been revealed.

Thinking about this, Link solemnly warned: “I think we should first retreat to a safe place, then consider our long-term plan.”

“Coward…”

Before Sandra could react, the round-faced youth spoke first, his tone not at all humble.

“Shut up!”

Sandra glared at him and scolded in a cold voice, “Go cool off elsewhere, don’t let your emotions cloud your judgment.”

Then, Sandra turned to Link and asked: “Give me a reason.”

Link didn’t take the round-faced youth’s attitude to heart.

This was expected.

He just answered Sandra’s question with an indifferent tone, emotionless:
