Chapter 407: Insect Nest Melee
Ji Xun found that the number of people who came in was exactly one hundred, which meant that the extra-dimensional space did not judge Ivan, who was hiding in his pocket, as a human participant.
Maybe it’s a psychic, or a pet?
Ji Xun is not sure.
The girl happened to wake up, and he asked in a low voice: "Ivan, can you get out of this space?"
It was also the first time for Ivan to come to an extradimensional space. With only one pair of eyes popping out of her pocket, she was very curious about her surroundings.
Listening to Ji Xun's inquiry, she replied: "Okay. Isn't this just a 'space bubble'? Just poke it and it will go out."
"."
When Ji Xun heard what little Loli said, a strange color suddenly appeared in his eyes.
He knows that Ivan has strong spatial ability.
But I didn't expect it to be so outrageous.
Can you leave the extradimensional space without any restrictions?
Isn’t this the same effect as the special card [Space Teleportation Card]?
What is going on with Ivan?
Extradimensional space can almost be said to be one of the biggest ultimate secrets in the world.
Even in the classics left by the Talon Dynasty, Emperor Lanlingster once searched for the answer to this question, but did not get an accurate answer.
In other words, the height of the secrets related to the extradimensional space may be higher than the peak that humans can reach.
How could Ivan ignore the space restrictions and go out at will?
Ji Xun thought about what Griffith, the leader of the Dragon Rebel Army, had said about Ivan’s origin.
This little loli was found in a black coffin.
He speculated that Ivan himself might have some special relationship with the extradimensional space.
However, before Ji Xun could think about it, the little loli muttered again: "But I can't take you out, Mr. Ji Xun. Well, you melted into the bubble"
" ? ?”
Ji Xun didn’t understand what this meant.
Ivan couldn’t explain it clearly either.
Half listening and half guessing.
He finally understood roughly that he should be connected by the rules of the extra-dimensional space.
But it doesn’t matter.
When Ji Xun participated in any extra-dimensional space, he never thought of using tricks to get out.
Thinking of this, he followed the team and walked quickly through the dark tunnel.
"It's strange. The intelligence clearly states that the character in the plot has the rank of lieutenant colonel. How did he become a brigadier general?"
"It may be that the number of explorations has triggered an unexpected plot. Everyone, be careful, this mission The difficulty should also have changed."
"."
Someone in the team noticed the abnormality and whispered.
Ji Xun walked silently in the team, inconspicuously.
Of course, he also heard the conversation between the temporary leader of the Thunder Warhammer Regiment and several team members.
In addition to a hundred adventurers, their team traveling through the tunnel also had a hundred NPC mechanical warriors, most of whom were wearing armor.
The normal situation is that after entering, the commander of the NPC team is the senior colonel, wearing the sixth-level "Hunter God Armor" with peak combat power.
But now that he comes in, the bearded commander has become a brigadier general, and the mechanical equipment configuration of him and the entire NPC team is obviously much better than what the intelligence said.
Others don’t know why the difficulty is increased.
But Ji Xun knew it.
It is most likely that it is because of my hidden sixth level that the spatial will has become more difficult.
But just right.
For Ji Xun, he never thought about only clearing the D-level difficulty plot.
Listening to the people from the Thunder Group discussing tactics, Ji Xun remained calm the whole time.
His biggest curiosity about this space, apart from the mechanical technology materials and drawings, is more importantly, he is curious about what happened in the final period after the fall of the Talon Dynasty.
Obviously, these Thunder Warhammer mercenaries never thought about the situation of "spies".
After all, even if there were real spies, they would not come to this extradimensional space with a very high mortality rate if they did not want to gather information in the camp.
The plots in the hunting mode’s extradimensional space are very simple.
In layman's terms, it means killing monsters.
The only special thing is that Qidi directly reminded that the final BOSS of this extra-dimensional space, Malgit, is directly related to the "Mysterious Insect Mother-Karakta", one of the Seven Lords of the Natural Disaster.
Of course, other people’s information suggested that it was “a certain foreign god.”
Because Ji Xun knew the names of the seven outer gods, he showed them.
This team of two hundred people secretly moved forward in the underground passage.
As the plot prompts, the Zerg surrounded Holy Crown City, and their reconnaissance team was going to find the Zerg nest hidden deep in a cave somewhere outside the city.
There are many similar teams elsewhere.
The people from Thunder Warhammer have come in many times, so they have basically figured out the conditions of the tunnel.
The temporary group leader Matt guided the NPC in the direction of exploration and quickly found the right path.
After walking for about an hour, everyone came to a shaft-like passage.
Enlightenment appeared immediately: "The hidden 'Z-shaped tunnel' leading to the insect nest has been discovered. The exploration degree is +15%. You have attracted the attention of the insect army. C-level mission trigger: Pass Z alive. The word is authentic. Complete the task and get the branch reward"
Ji Xun glanced at it and saw that it was surrounded by irregular tunnels like mouse holes.
There is also yellow mucus on the soil, which is the secretion of insects when they dig holes.
Fortunately, the potholes are very big, most of them are more than three meters high, so it is very spacious for people to walk inside.
The werewolf's sense of smell allowed him to clearly distinguish the smell in the air.
There are at least dozens of scents left by bugs.
Just as he was thinking about it, a rustling sound suddenly sounded in the darkness.
It seemed like a large number of monsters were coming towards them.
The bearded NPC brigadier general in the lead looked at the prompts displayed on the light screen on the arm of the mechanical armor, which were countless dense green light spots.
He looked stern and shouted loudly: "The area ahead is where the Zerg are active! Everyone is ready to fight!"
Ji Xun glanced at the Brigadier's mecha. The sets that Dong Qi wore before were obviously too full-featured and equipped with a lot of black technology equipment for targeting insects.
For example, this scanner can sense the activities of living bodies.
Without waiting, the sound of a gun being loaded was heard in the corridor.
The adventurers also entered a state of fighting.
Ji Xun also showed due urgency and took out several first-level [Fireball Cards] with his backhand.
His disguised identity is that of a third-level element controller. At least before he was exposed, he looked like a magic card master.
The possibility of not being discovered by bugs in a cave is zero, so the difficulty of this extra-dimensional space is to complete the task while being surrounded by bugs.
Soon, almost everyone heard the crawling sound of arthropods resounding in the tunnel.
At a certain moment, it was like a water pipe bursting, and a dense swarm of insects suddenly emerged from the corner of a certain tunnel.
This is a [blade jumping beetle] with wings that can fly and two sharp insect arms, about one foot long.
It is very fast, has high agility, and has endless numbers. It can easily cut through the body of low-level card masters.
The weakness is fragility.
As long as you avoid the carapace, ordinary bullets can shoot out a packet of yellow pulp.
However, this is the insect with the lowest threat in this extra-dimensional space.
The adventurers had received the information long before they came in, so when they saw the insects coming in like a tide, they were not too panicked.
The war slaves were a little confused.
After all, they only knew what monster they were facing a few minutes ago.
But fortunately, the Thunder Group spent a lot of money, and the equipment of the slaves is not too bad.
This "Horror Worm Cave·Ominous Female Insect Margit" is one of the several extra-dimensional spaces currently being opened by the Southern Continent Mercenary Group.
No matter the equipment and personnel configuration, they are the top equipment of the Thunder Warhammer Mercenary Group.
The significance of being able to clear this insect cave is not just harvest. At the same time, it also means that crucial clues can be found for those more difficult related spaces deep in the ruins.
For example, information about that jar.
Almost instantly, both humans and insects caught fire in the corridor.
"Tat-tat-tat"
"Tat-tat-tat"
The bullets rained down.
It has to be said that when it comes to killing insects, firearms have far greater advantages than card masters.
Pull the trigger, the bugs confined in the tunnel are almost live targets.
A firepower network composed of three or five well-trained NPC mechanical warriors is enough to block a passage.
The bullets were like a torrent of steel, violently blocking the insect tide.
Theoretically, as long as there are enough bullets, no matter how many low-level bugs come, they will not pose a fatal threat to the team.
The trouble is, the number of bugs is endless.
As long as they dare to stay in one place for too long, more and more bugs will surround them.
Even if you want to escape, you can't escape in the end.
Of course the bearded NPC brigadier general knew this, and broke out while fighting: "Come with me!"
Ji Xun also mixed in with the crowd, and rushed towards the depths of the tunnel together.
This place was already deep underground, and the tunnels were intricate and complicated. Soon, all directions turned into a sea of joyful insects.
Everyone was involved in the fierce battle.
Ji Xun also ejected several low-level cards such as [Explosion Card] and [Fire Bomb Technique] from time to time.
Although his career sequence majors in physical arts, after advancing to the sixth level, he wants to understand the realm of all things. Recently, he has also been supplementing the spell abilities related to the magic system.
At least this low-level spell is easy for him.
Cards exploded in the swarm of insects, broken limbs and broken arms flew around, and enlightenment kept refreshing.
"Successfully killed the 'Blade Jumping Beetle', points +1"
"Successfully killed the 'Blade Jumping Beetle', points +1"
"Successfully killed 'Elite Blade Jumping Mantis', points +3"
"."
At his current pace, he didn't know how long it would take to get 100,000 points by killing low-level bugs.
And the materials produced by these low-level bugs are far less valuable than the cards consumed.
It doesn’t matter if Ji Xun falls.
The previous loot contained a large number of spell cards for him to consume.
The team is still rushing deep into the cave.
Because the people from Thunder Warhammer came here for the B-level plot this time, they used the intelligence they obtained before to guide the NPCs along the way.
And because the NPC team's overall equipment has been greatly improved this time, and the mechanical firepower is too strong, the breakout plan went smoother than expected.
Not long after, when everyone appeared at a fork in a huge underground river, Qidi appeared again.
"The mission of 'Breaking through the Z-shaped Passage' was completed. All members received C-level mission branch rewards, and individual points were +300."
"The hidden tunnel of the worm cave was discovered, and the exploration degree was +25 %, you have attracted the attention of the mother worm. The B-level mission is triggered: find the mother worm's nest and send a positioning signal to the Holy Crown City base camp; you can choose to accept the mission, or you have enough points to leave the space;"
< br>
Two revelations in succession. The B-level mission was finally triggered.
Ji Xun glanced at it and didn’t think much about it.
He only has a few thousand points now, which is a long way from 100,000. He won’t be able to get out.
It is impossible for the others, the slaves, to get out.
The scattered people didn't get much benefit, and no one left.
On the contrary, the Thunder Regiment had a low-level card master responsible for transmitting information and left the space early.
The next step is the really dangerous plot.
The intelligence did not mention the mortality rate of B-level missions, but currently top mercenary groups such as the Thunder Regiment have not explored A-level missions, which means that the mortality rate must be extremely high.
It may also be explored.
Outsiders just don’t know.
No matter what the situation is, it doesn't matter to Ji Xun.
The current situation does not pose any threat to him.
During the run, temporary team leader Matt cleverly guided the NPC many times to choose a tunnel leading deep into the cave.
This is all important information that the previous groups of adventurers sacrificed their lives for.
Large teams have enough experience, and they know that rational use of plot characters is the key to clearing difficult spaces.
The team surged forward again.
It’s still the rhythm of “kill, kill, kill”.
Very smooth.
Everyone came all the way to the depths of the northwest direction of the underground.
There are more and more insects around.
Not just quantity.
The types of bugs have also changed.
In addition to the previous [Blade Jumping Beetle], there are also some [Iron Beetles] that are similar to dung beetles. Their hard carapace can easily block magic bullets; there is also a kind of [Iron Beetle] that spits acid. Explosive Bug], a mouthful of thick phlegm can be sprayed hundreds of meters, even the mechanical armor is sizzling and smoking; and there are red tentacles that appear from nowhere like tree roots
Still The levels are very low and endless.
As soon as these bugs appeared, casualties gradually began to appear in the human team.
Insects can make countless mistakes, but humans will definitely die if they are submerged in the sea of insects.
And gradually, a small number of fourth- and fifth-level mini-bosses were mixed in among those insects.
When these high-level bugs appear, it usually means someone is going to die.
The number of ammunition of the mechanical warrior is limited, and the mechanical equipment has a endurance limit, and it is impossible to fire at a high frequency all the time.
As he continued to fight, Ji Xun had an intuition: the female insect was very intelligent.
It seems that it deliberately uses these low-level bugs to consume the ammunition of the human army.
After discovering this, Ji Xun realized that following the large army was not that meaningful.
Although NPCs are very powerful in combat, their goals are also large.
Being constantly watched and surrounded by bugs, even if you can finally complete the task, it will inevitably end tragically.
The difficulty of the plot is evaluated for everyone. In other words, level B difficulty is enough for Ji Xun, a sixth-level player, to be buried here.
The most important thing is that he feels that the female insect is so intelligent that if she is constantly being stared at, she will be very passive.
Moreover, the guys from the Thunder Group obviously have some "special ideas".
During a fierce battle, it is difficult for ordinary people to notice what teammates are doing elsewhere in the complex corridor, but Ji Xun has always observed clearly.
He obviously found that at some point, a small team suddenly left the main force and left from another tunnel branch.
Without orders, slaves cannot leave; individual groups will not seek death and leave the large army without permission.
It can only be that the guys from the Thunder Group had some other plans.
Most likely, they want to use the main force as bait so that they can execute some other hidden branches.
After discovering this, Ji Xun didn't want to stay any longer.
At the moment when a certain team was dispersed by a sea of enemy insects, he suddenly grabbed the old man Xu who was fishing in troubled waters in the team and ran headlong into another passage.
Like unlucky guys who were cut apart by the Zerg, the rapidly running army didn't care about the missing two people at all.
Escape from the large army in a tunnel full of bugs is almost a dead end for most people.
Without a large army, there is no chance to even change ammunition and breathe. In the end, they can only be submerged by the sea of insects.
But that was someone else, not Ji Xun.
As the sound of gunfire faded away, two people suddenly sat up among a pile of slimy insect corpses.
The muscles on Ji Xun's face twisted and returned to their original appearance.
He looked at Old Man Xu and said with a smile: "Senior Xu, long time no see."
The perception methods of insects are nothing more than vision, hearing and smell.
Ji Xun had been observing Old Man Xu before.
This guy was clearly paddling in the team, but he never suffered a fatal attack from the bug.
After observing for a while, he discovered that the old man had secretly smeared the exploded glands from the insect corpse on his body.
As soon as he took the old man away from the large army, he chose to pretend to be dead.
Ji Xun did not choose to break out, but followed the old man's example.
Countless experiences have told Ji Xun that it is always right to follow the old-timers.
Facts have once again proved that the old man’s method of survival is reliable.
Old man Xu was also stunned when he heard someone calling his name.
He looked at Ji Xunman's face with yellow mucus and was slightly surprised, but he didn't forget it this time. He remembered who it was and said in surprise: "Ji Xunman boy?"
Then he cracked. He opened Huafeng's front teeth and asked with a surprised look on his face: "Why are you here?"
Ji Xun smiled and said: "It's a long story. I was originally lurking in this camp. , later I found out that you were caught, so I followed you."
As he said that, he also joked: "Let's see if I can save you."
"You"
Listening, Old Man Xu rolled his eyes at him.
That look of disgust seems to be able to speak: Every time I meet that guy, I feel something is not right.
But after all, Ji Xun really took action. The old man was disgusted and didn't say anything.
Turn around, he frowned and added: "But, how did you become so girly? Have you taken the path of the 'Forbidden Witch'?"
When Ji Xun heard this, he was surprised and said: "Is it so obvious?"
He was not surprised that the old man could see it.
But, is it so obvious to me?
Old man Xu pursed his lips and said: "Your kid's 'qi' has become softer. Do you think it's obvious or not?"
Ji Xun also looked a little helpless as he listened. Said: "I didn't follow the witch sequence, I was just contaminated by a relic"
As he said that, he showed the Black Magic Gloves without hesitation, and asked: "Senior, is there a way to solve this pollution?"
To be honest, this is the leader of the Dragon Rebel Army, More mysterious characters.
Old man Xu glanced at it and said casually: "Yes!"
"Huh?"
Ji Xun also asked casually, but he didn't expect it to be true.
However, his expectations were poured cold water on him in the next second. Old Man Xu scratched his head: "I remember it. But I forgot."
"."
The corners of Ji Xun's eyes were incomprehensible. One jump, and then I couldn’t laugh or cry.
As expected, this old man is the least reliable when he is reliable.
Old man Xu was also a little embarrassed, as if to make up for the cowhide he had blown off just now, he added: "But... I seem to have seen these gloves somewhere. I remember they were from a certain suit and skirt. part.”
Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly as he listened: "Oh? Have you seen it before, senior?"
This black magic glove is an inherited treasure of the Bai family. It has been seen rarely in history, but not by everyone.
Do you know that these gloves are part of the [Lanlingster Witch Dress] suit? Even in the Bai family, there are very few of them.
Old man Xu didn’t know, his expression suddenly turned subtly obscene, and said: "I remember it seemed to be worn by a pretty girl."
His expression seemed to be trying to remember something. , but it seemed that he suddenly couldn't remember it again, and said with regret: "It's been too long, and I forgot about it."
But after hearing these words, it was Ji Xun's turn to be uneasy.
So the old man didn’t see this glove before, but saw someone wearing it?
A pretty girl?
It can make the old man remember "quite beautiful", which means that it is definitely not ordinary beautiful.
Isn’t it a senior who was contaminated and turned into a witch?
But this glove has been in the hands of the Bai family for at least thousands of years, and no one in the Bai family has been said to have been contaminated and turned into a witch. Who is Old Man Xu talking about?
Among the information Ji Xun knew, there was only one piece of information that matched the number, and that was what the magic mirror said - "Emperor Lanlingst who turned into a witch"!
Hiss.
No way.
Ji Xun doesn’t think it’s not, but thinks it’s impossible.
Emperor Lanlingster was a person who lived tens of thousands of years ago, and it is impossible for Mr. Xu to live longer.
After testing a few more words, Ji Xun found that the clue was broken again.
Old man Xu also lost his memory as expected.
Turn around, Ji Xun changed the topic and asked: "Senior, are you here to find the [Forbidden Ruins Stone Tablet]?"
Old man Xu blinked, with a confused look on his face. He asked back: "Do you know what I'm looking for?"
Ji Xun has long been used to the old man's forgetfulness. He himself has forgotten what he is looking for, so he reminds: "Yes. The last few times I met you, you were looking for those black stone tablets."
Old man Xu seemed to have remembered something: "Huh? Oh, so I'm looking for the [Forbidden Ruins Stone Tablet]. But why am I looking for that stone tablet?"
Ji Xun rolled his eyes: "."
We have taken many adventures together, and we have become quite familiar with them. He was not surprised at all by this kind of ineffective dialogue.
I thought that only by finding the stone tablet and triggering certain memories would the old man's "large number" come online.
Ji Xun didn't expect to get the answer directly, so he tentatively guided him: "Senior, is there what you are looking for in this extradimensional space?"
Old man Xu: "I'm not sure yet. But it seems there is. "
Ji Xun smiled brightly: "Yes, just right. I'll help senior find it together."
With this old senior anchoring certain things, the difficulty of this extra-dimensional space will be reduced. You can try it again for a higher challenge.
“Where’s Che Er?”
"That boy went to the Southern Continent for training."
"By the way, senior, I saw a place with many stone monuments in a special space."
"Huh? What about the stone monuments? Fifty-three dollars? "
"."
As Ji Xun knows, even in this insect nest, Old Man Xu has countless ways to avoid the insect siege. .
The two of them walked and chatted.
On the contrary, I became more relaxed.
However, not long after walking, Qidi suddenly appeared: "Your team has discovered the nest of the mother insect. The exploration speed is +40%. You have attracted the attention of the mother insect. A-level mission trigger: dispatch of the furious mother insect. The powerful Zerg guards guarding the nest surround and kill the intruders, you need to survive."
Ji Xun looked at the skyrocketing difficulty of the plot and chuckled unsurprisingly: "Those guys in the Thunder Group are very powerful. , have you found the insect nest?”
