After thinking for a moment, Zhao Chen decisively ordered the panda girl commander of his fleet: "Arrange for our interstellar warships to deploy some scientific research and reconnaissance equipment."

Take a good look at the massive meat wall on the other side.

Let's see if there are any other opportunities to quickly destroy it.

"Yes." The panda girl commander immediately began to handle the matter.

Zhao Chen felt that destroying it with firepower alone was somewhat unrealistic.

However, if the T6 Supernova Ultimate Bomb were used directly here, the effect would be very low, at most destroying only about one-third of the area of ​​the Zerg hive in front of us.

That completely fails to achieve the effect Zhao Chen wanted.

Meanwhile, Chu Xuan and the others were still directing the battle.

However, some changes began to occur on the battlefield.

The Zerg close-in weapon systems that had been contained were no longer a threat.

However, new threats have also emerged.

Suddenly, the 'earth' on the huge fleshy wall tore open, and huge tentacles suddenly stretched out.

These tentacles attacked the JF-17 Starship and the JF-17 Zerg at an astonishing speed.

The most amazing thing is that these tentacles can completely ignore the Star Shield's defenses and rush straight in!

One of the T4 insect hive motherships under the Insect Princess's command was slightly forward when it was entangled by a tentacle before it was even noticed.

No matter how much the T4 Zerg mothership struggled, it couldn't break free.

The surrounding Zerg motherships and JF-17 starships provided fire support.

However, these tentacles are clearly very hard.

Furthermore, due to the close proximity, there is a risk of friendly fire when using high-powered weapons at this distance.

In this way, the T4 Falcon Hive mothership could only be dragged over helplessly.

Like a meteorite falling, it crashed heavily into the massive fleshy wall.

Then, more tentacles entangled the T4 Dragon Hive Mothership.

The next second, a huge crack appeared in the ground, and a gaping maw suddenly emerged, swallowing the T4 Dragon Hive mothership whole.

"What was that just now?" Zhao Chen frowned. He raised his hand, displayed the screenshot he had just taken, and then zoomed in on it repeatedly.

It was a very ferocious-looking mouth, with dense barbs inside that resembled teeth.

The size of that huge opening alone is at least twenty kilometers in diameter!

This means that it has the capability to directly devour the vast majority of interstellar warships.

And most importantly, why did it appear inside this large fleshy wall?

And what exactly are those incredibly resilient tentacles?

"Little Bug, have you ever seen this kind of Zerg combat unit before?" Zhao Chen asked, frowning.

The insect princess in the command channel immediately shook her head, but hesitated for a moment... "I have never seen a life form of this size before."

But I've seen ones much smaller than this.

"Tell me about it," Zhao Chen asked directly.

Insect Princess raised her hand and brought up an image.

It was a worm-like creature with a similar gaping maw, and it generally preferred to live in sandy areas.

"This is what we call a sandworm. It belongs to one of the terrestrial insect races and is considered one of the larger terrestrial insect races on the planet."

It is said that its body can grow to over 400 meters long and about 40 meters in diameter. When it opens its mouth, it forms a deep abyss with a diameter of over 40 meters, capable of swallowing anything.

Furthermore, its body is extremely tough, capable of withstanding attacks of a level higher than itself.

However, most of the sandworms we have observed are only at the T2 level in terms of combat strength.

Only a few Sandworm Kings can reach the T3 level.

Furthermore, because they lack the ability to travel and fight in interstellar space, they are essentially useless in the current interstellar era.

And the monster we just saw... its gaping maw was at least 10 or 20 kilometers wide.

These two... how could they possibly be the same creature?

"And I can't sense any Zerg information on it," the Insect Princess said, frowning.

Sandworms...

Compared to the monster from before, this sandworm is actually quite cute.

However, considering the control that the Order exerts over the Zerg, it's possible that they could create many different interstellar creatures.

For example, those undead creatures might have been created by the Order itself.

Therefore, this possibility cannot be ruled out.

"So, assuming we're dealing with these sandworms, what are some effective methods?" Zhao Chen asked.

After thinking for a moment, Insect Princess said, "Sandworms are generally afraid of water. Apart from that, the only way to deal with them is by using firepower that exceeds their defense capabilities."

That's as good as saying nothing.

In this interstellar environment, where can you find water?

Moreover, it was hiding inside that strange, large fleshy wall, making it even harder to destroy.

As for firepower, need I say more!

Does Zhao Chen not know that firepower can solve everything?

Zhao Chen frowned slightly.

Before he came here, he knew that this Zerg nest would be difficult to deal with.

But I didn't expect it to be so difficult to handle.

At this moment, Chu Xuan had already ordered the fleet at the front line to retreat a certain distance in order to avoid being entangled by the tentacles and then swallowed by the giant sand worm.

Although this had a good effect.

However, this also means that many JF-17 interstellar warships and JF-17 Zerg motherships have moved out of effective fire range, thus reducing the threat to this Zerg hive.

"Report, we've found something!" Commander Panda Girl reported to Zhao Chen.

"What did you find out?" Zhao Chen asked.

"We have an internal scanning device that scanned the interior of this Zerg nest in front of us."

We've discovered something amazing.

The Panda Girl Commander released a black and gray image.

In the black area, you can clearly see the black tentacles and those huge sandworms, while the gray area should be the 'background'.

Behind these black tentacles, there can be a structure that resembles a 'large tree'.

Those black tentacles are all connected to this big tree!

"Those attacking tentacles are all related to this tree-shaped thing."

"That means if we can destroy this big tree, the problem with those tentacles should also be solved." Zhao Chen said thoughtfully.

Tao Beibei, who was standing next to her, suddenly brightened up: "That's a possibility."

However, the location of this large tree is quite deep.

If we were to rely solely on the Starfleet's firepower to bombard this point, it would be °• N o v e l i g h t •° a waste of ammunition.

This reminded Zhao Chen of the T6 Rakshasa Hades-class interstellar dreadnought.

If Rakshasa Hades were here, his attack patterns would be perfect for solving this big problem.

But should we transfer the Rakshasa Underworld King over here because of this?

He really didn't want Charlotte to get involved in the fighting here at this time.

Suddenly, Zhao Chen stared at Tao Beibei beside him and thought of something.

Feeling a little embarrassed by Zhao Chen's gaze, Tao Beibei lowered her head shyly, saying, "Your Majesty... I... I'm still young..."
