Chapter 1204

Black Beetle immediately connected the communication, but before he could ask any questions, a voice came from the other end first.

"This is the fleet! We're under attack! Under attack!..."

Urgent and filled with the will to survive, Black Beetle had heard this tone countless times in many wars, but in the past he had only heard it in intercepted enemy communications. He never thought that one day he would hear it from the squad he led.

"Calm down, soldiers! What exactly happened over there?"

In response to the black beetle's question, the soldier on the other end murmured in a desperate tone.

"It's too late, he's already here... he's caught up with us! ##×%!"

Immediately following was a piercing electrical sound, which seemed to indicate that the "he" the soldiers were referring to had attacked them.

"Could it be!" Black Beetle suddenly realized that the "he" the soldier was talking about might be the sea monster that attacked them before.
This sea monster was exceptionally cunning. Upon seeing the three scarab warriors gathered together, it knew it was no match for them and turned to cause trouble for the relatively weaker remnants of the fleet.

It now appears that the other side has succeeded. He contacted the few remaining spaceships one after another, but without exception, they all remained silent and no one responded to him.

Now look what's happened. The advance force of 22 ships has all sunk to the bottom of the sea and become fish food. The name of Black Beetle will probably be used as a typical negative example and will be forever engraved on the pillar of shame of the Reach Zerg.

"damn it!"

Enraged, the black beetle transformed its arms into cannons and began firing recklessly at the surrounding steel-eating fish, soon creating a vacuum zone.

Although many Steel Eater Fish were eliminated, the Green Beetle and Red Beetle, who came to investigate after noticing the anomaly, were almost affected as well.

However, after stopping the black beetle, the two didn't say anything more. After all, they had also received the communication they had just received, and the situation had now reached rock bottom.

Moreover, their status is not as high as that of the Black Beetle, who is a scarab warrior from the Reach Zerg. Like the Blue Beetle, they are both foreign beings who were forcibly parasitized.

Unlike the two of them who were under control, Black Beetle could be considered to have impeccable revolutionary credentials that the two of them couldn't even come close to.

"Let's retreat, Black Beetle," Green Beetle suggested. "If we continue like this, we'll be wiped out."

"You dare desert!" Black Beetle glared at the former. "I haven't felt this humiliated since I became a Scarab Warrior. I'm going to tear that stinking fish to pieces!"

After saying that, the black beetle retrieved the last coordinates of the spaceship before it sank, and then rushed headlong towards those coordinates.

The green and red beetles had no choice but to follow closely behind the black beetle, fearing that something might happen to him again.

The three of them soon arrived at the coordinates. As expected, there were some Steel Eaters there as well. Although there were far fewer than those surrounding them, it was still a sizable school of fish.

At this moment, the Steel-Eating Fish were gnawing on the wreckage of the spaceship. Numerous Reach Zerg corpses floated out from the holes in the spaceship. Due to the water pressure, the corpses were no longer recognizable and could only be identified by their uniforms.

Perhaps because of their disgusting and terrifying appearance, the strange fish that eat everything didn't touch the corpses at all, letting them float and sink in the water, looking extremely eerie from a distance.

The black beetle looked around and, as before, couldn't find the sea monster at all. The black beetle was like a volcano, its magma reaching its limit, but unfortunately, it couldn't find a target and therefore had no way to vent it.

"Let's retreat," the green beetle urged once again. "Things have gotten too out of hand. We must report this to our superiors first, and our invasion of Earth needs to be changed."

The black beetle, who was furious at the extreme, calmed down. This was not because he had come to terms with it, but because the scarab beetle connected to him controlled his emotions.

The Black Beetle itself is a creature with emotions and desires, but the Sacred Beetle is not. From the very beginning of its creation, it was based on a fundamental logic: everything is prioritized for the benefit of the Reach Zerg.

Now that the Black Beetle's actions have already damaged the Reach Zerg, the Scarab can no longer stand by and watch him run amok. It has taken control of the body and forced him to calm down.

"Let's go," the black beetle said coldly. "I'll organize the data later and report everything to the higher-ups."

The green beetle breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, the scarab beetle had put in its strength, otherwise it would have been hard to say how the situation would have ended.

But at that moment, the Green Beetles suddenly noticed that the Steel-Eating Fish around them had increased in number, becoming almost as dense as before. They wondered if these fish had come from the same spot.

"It seems that thing doesn't want us to leave," the red beetle said warily.

The other two had already figured out what he meant. The sea monster had clearly been around them the whole time, and after hearing that they were preparing to retreat, it changed its strategy and was probably preparing to attack.

"Be careful," the black beetle warned. As soon as he said that, the surrounding steel-eating fish began to stir. The micron-sized fish stirred up the seawater and created one deep-sea whirlpool after another.

The three Black Beetles increased the output of their thrusters, which prevented them from being swept away by the vortex immediately.

However, the three black beetles soon discovered that the movement of the fish was not random. Their rhythmic swimming, combined with the immense force of the ocean, managed to separate the three of them.

The three of them realized at the same time that the sea monster was about to begin its hunt.

The red beetle transformed one hand into a sword and the other into a cannon, vigilantly watching the surrounding schools of fish, afraid of missing any detail that could cost it its life.

However, the dense crowd quickly overwhelmed him, and even the scarab's intelligent AI malfunctioned. Just when he thought he was about to reach his limit, a sudden change occurred.

The fish above the red beetle's head began to move erratically, which he keenly noticed. Not daring to be careless, he raised his hand and fired a shot.

The scorching energy ray briefly created a vacuum zone, and the next second a chill crept up the back of the red beetle, where there was nothing but the Steel-Eating Fish!

The thought of being tricked had barely crossed the red beetle's mind when a sharp pain shot through his lower back.

The red beetle looked down and found that its lower body had been severed by sharp teeth, which were as big as its thighs and had cut through the beetle's armor in one go.

Then a blinding darkness buried the red beetle, and with a tooth-grinding crunch, he was crushed into a pulp by a pair of hands.
