Chapter 279 [Red Iron Ant King Concentrated Hormone]
For these two different situations, Zhang Yanhang's solutions are also different.
If it is a small red iron ant nest that already has a passage leading to other red iron ant nests, then this passage is mostly located in the inner area and core area of the red iron ant nest. It is easier to find it, just go there and scan it. Circle should be able to find it.
In the second case, the location of the passage leading to other red iron ant nests is not necessarily the inner area and the core area. It is entirely possible that a group of red iron worker ants in the outer area just dug through the passage. The passages to other red iron ant nests were reported to the red iron queen layer by layer.
If it is the second case, then finding the passage to other red iron ant nests will become a big project. Zhang Yanhang needs to run all the locations of the entire red iron ant nest to find the hidden corner. in the channel.
More importantly, finding the passage to other red iron ant nests is just the beginning. If there really is a passage to other red iron ant nests, then two more situations will appear.
The first situation is that the red iron ant queen fled to other red iron ant nests immediately after finding the passage to other red iron ant nests. In this case, Zhang Yanhang had to chase after the new red iron ant nest. Hunting started in the iron ant nest.
But because the red iron ants in the small red iron ant nest Daragu have mixed into that new red iron ant nest, he will be completely unable to tell which part of the red iron ants are the red iron in the small red iron ant nest Daragu ants, and which part is the red iron ants that originally existed in this new red iron ant nest.
Therefore, once this happens, unless Zhang Yanhang can clear all the red iron ants in the new red iron ant nest, or else it will be difficult to upgrade the ashes treasure chest in the area of the small red iron ant nest Daragu to 100% completion.
Therefore, if the first situation occurs, it will greatly delay Zhang Yanhang's speed of opening the exclusive ashes chest of the small red iron ant nest Daragu, but it will only be slightly delayed.
As long as Zhang Yanhang is willing to spend a few more days to empty out the new red iron ant nest, then he should be able to get two treasure chests of ashes at the same time.
After all, it is impossible that only the small red iron ant nest Dalagu has evaluation and settlement treasure chests. Logically speaking, as a new area, the new red iron ant nest should also have an evaluation and settlement treasure chest inside.
But this situation is somewhat unfavorable to Zhang Yanhang, so he is actually more inclined to the second situation.
That is, in fact, only a small number of high-level red iron ants went to the new red iron ant nest for assistance, while most of the ordinary red iron ants stayed near the passage leading to the new red iron ant nest.
If this is the case, then things will be easier. Zhang Yanhang's first step is to find the location of the passage, and the second step is to immediately kill the group of red iron ants stationed near the passage.
By that time, the completion of the small red iron ant nest Dalagu should be almost 100%.
And once the completion of the evaluation and settlement treasure box and the evaluation level are full, then Zhang Yanhang can open the ashes treasure chest first, relying on the good things opened in the ashes treasure chest to improve his strength and hunting efficiency against monsters .
Then Zhang Yanhang can start the hunting plan for this new red iron ant nest after improving his strength and hunting efficiency.
If the scale of the new red iron ant nest is not very large, then as long as he works hard overtime, he may be able to get this new red iron ant nest in the three or four days before the opening of the transmission channel. It was also emptied, and by that time, his promotion to Tier 3 would definitely increase a lot immediately.
Therefore, in terms of income, compared with the first possibility that the red iron ants are mobilized to guard the red iron ant queen and the second possibility that the red iron ants are mobilized to the C-shaped channel where the transmission channel is located, Zhang Yanhang actually I prefer this last third possibility.
Zhang Yanhang had already planned to dig passages to other red iron ant nests before, and if this third possibility could really be realized, then he could save the time of digging passages.
In other words, if it happened to be the second case of the third possibility, that is, if the red iron ants were just guarding the passage, then Zhang Yanhang could open the ashes treasure chest immediately after cleaning up the red iron ants. After opening the ashes treasure chest, it will be seamlessly connected to the new red iron ant nest and start a new round of cleaning plan again.
By that time, Zhang Yanhang's overall income this time will undoubtedly increase greatly, and if the remaining red iron ants really gather together, then he will save a lot of cleaning time, and maybe he can directly Kill the last remaining red iron ants in this group of small red iron ant nest Dalagu before noon today.
You know, he can stay in the world of ashes for five days this time. If it takes less than one day to clear the entire small red iron ant nest Daragu, it means that he has four full days to Used against that new red iron ant nest.
In this case, even if the area of this new red iron ant nest is several times larger than that of the small red iron ant nest Dalagu, there is no problem, he can still use enough time to completely empty it.
If this matter can really be completed, then Zhang Yanhang estimated that it would not take as long as three weeks for him to be promoted to the second rank, and it is entirely possible to complete it within two weeks. If it is the nest, it is bound to bring Zhang Yanhang a huge benefit that was unimaginable before.
With this income, he might be able to directly raise the Qiankun Wuji Kungfu and professional level to the limit state, and then improve some of the first-level professional skills, such as the inviolability of magic and avoiding evil.
"However, this is only the most ideal situation. Although it is true that the most likely third situation may occur, the occurrence of the first and second situations cannot be completely ruled out. After all, if the red iron ants What if you are really out of your mind?"
Zhang Yanhang felt that for an ant, even an ant with a high probability of second-order and four-star, he must never use the thinking logic of a normal person to speculate on its actions, because there are huge differences in ideas between people. , not to mention the difference in philosophy between humans and ants.
It is even said that this ant is not a normal organism, but a monster ant that has been refreshed from the ashes world and has been filled with settings. , It is absolutely unreliable to try to use human thinking logic to speculate on its ideas.
"However, it would be a little troublesome to trigger the time pause to explore the red iron ant nest. Since I am now in the last area of the second phase of the clean-up plan, let's go to the lucky slot machine next time, which happens to be borrowed during the lottery. The option to automatically trigger to explore the current small red iron ant nest Daragu."
Zhang Yanhang felt that he was already so close to the lucky slot machine anyway, and it would be unreasonable not to go there.
Because the lucky slot machine in the red iron ant nest is next to the tenth area planned by Zhang Yanhang, Zhang Yanhang soon arrived near the lucky slot machine.
Looking at the lucky slot machine in front of him that was constantly emitting golden light, Zhang Yanhang felt very nostalgic. The last time he saw it was when he was exploring the red iron ant nest for the first time, and it was only in a time-suspended state Xia met it once, and now it and Zhang Yanhang finally ushered in the reunion after six days.
Zhang Yanhang carefully checked the various information marked on the lucky slot machine in front of him. He found that although the slot machine in the red iron ant nest looked exactly the same as the slot machine in Raccoon City, there was a difference in the use price. .
The slot machine in Raccoon City only needs one soul point for one shake, but three soul points for one shake here.
Zhang Yanhang felt that the reason for this difference should be that the weakest monsters in Raccoon City were first-order sporadic ordinary monster zombies worth one soul point, while the weakest monsters in the small red iron ant nest Dalagu were worth one soul point. A first-order one-star ordinary monster with three soul points, the Red Iron Worker Ant.
Because there is a gap in the strength of the basic monsters, the price of the slot machine is also different.
"Well, I thought that if I could still maintain the price of one soul point like the previous Raccoon City, I should be able to earn two hundred more soul points by killing a hundred red iron worker ants, but now it seems that it doesn't matter. There is such a good thing."
Although the price of the slot machine has risen, it is still at the same level as the value of the monster, so at least Zhang Yanhang will not lose money because of playing the slot machine.
After checking the price of the slot machine, Zhang Yanhang directly pulled the metal joystick on the side of the slot machine. As for the prize information? On the slot machine, only a name is marked for the prize, and nothing can be seen. Only when the option is triggered or the item is obtained can the specific attribute list be viewed.
As Zhang Yanhang pulled the metal joystick, the familiar time pause once again came to the red iron ant nest. At the same time, a large row of densely packed text option boxes with hundreds of items appeared in front of Zhang Yanhang's eyes.
[Please select the specific content of the lottery of the lucky slot machine]
[Option 1: 777 (first prize, 'Red Iron Queen Ant Hormone Essence (Solid Compression)', quality dark purple, props.)]
[Option 2: ??? (Second prize, 'Red Iron Ant King Concentrated Hormone', quality purple, props.)]
[Option 3: ??? (Second prize, 'Red Iron Ant King Concentrated Hormone', quality purple, props.)]
...
[Option Forty-Eight: ??? (Third Prize, Red Iron Worker Ant, Tier 1 Star, Common Monster.)]
...
[Option Ninety-seven: ??? (Third Prize, Red Iron Flying Ant, Tier 1 Star, Elite Monster.)]
...
[Option 138: ??? (Fourth prize, thank you for your patronage, no real prizes.)]
...
Because it was the first time he had faced this option box for countless times, Zhang Yanhang began to skillfully count the number of monsters in the option box.
There are still only one hundred monsters in the prize pool this time. Among them, there are at most 80 first-tier one-star ordinary monsters, and the remaining 20 monsters are all first-tier one-star elite monsters. Iron flying ants.
Zhang Yanhang thinks that the third prize pool of the red iron ant nest slot machine should be because it is still in an initial state and has not been refreshed, so there are only red iron worker ants and red iron flying ants.
According to his previous experience in Raccoon City, when the third prize pool of this slot machine is refreshed tomorrow, the Red Iron Soldier Ant and other higher-level Red Soldier Ants should be updated accordingly according to his cleaning progress. Iron ants.
At that time, the slot machine in the Red Iron Ant Nest will probably be like the slot machine in Raccoon City, and become a more important fixed refresh point for Zhang Yanhang, who can come and kill a hundred Red Iron Ants every day.
After counting the number of red iron worker ants and red iron flying ants, Zhang Yanhang began to formally check the use of the first and second prizes he could get this time.
Before Zhang Yanhang was very excited when he was playing the slot machine in Raccoon City. After all, at that time, he had never seen even purple quality items, not to mention dark purple items. So, for him, the bottle of T Virus stock solution and T virus medicine are quite noble.
But this time it's different, Zhang Yanhang's vision has improved, purple quality items and dark purple quality items have actually become more common for him, and the highest quality items he has ever seen have also improved again It went up a notch and turned into a pale gold item.
Therefore, although Zhang Yanhang still wanted the first prize and the second prize in the slot machine very much, he was not as urgent and eager as he was in the first-order period.
But even so, Zhang Yanhang checked the attribute list of the second prize [Red Iron Ant King Concentrated Hormone] immediately after counting the number of monsters.
