Two Hundred and Twentieth IX Demacia and Noxus Plan (6)

In the Grand Canyon on the other side of the planet, the eighteen marines still turned on the searchlights on their chests, one after the other, and the eighteen pairs of metal armored boots stepped on the gravel, rustling The voice, in this crack that seems to never come to an end, is suppressed and silently marching towards the ground.

No one knows how deep underground they have entered, because, except for the energy and transmission machinery of their armored power combat suits, which can still work normally, other equipment has long been unable to operate.

While leading the way, Captain 031 looked at a non-metallic mechanical watch specially issued for this mission in the mask.

From the above time, he can know that they have walked in this winding and narrow passage for about two hours so far. Although it is a bit beyond the scheduled time, he still takes the lead. marching.

From 031's point of view, it shouldn't be too far from their final destination now?

Due to the deepness of the earth's crust, the temperature here is much hotter than that on the surface of the planet, which is more than forty degrees Celsius!

Captain 031, who led the team at the head, just took a look at the thermometer embedded on the outside of the armor. Here, it has reached a high temperature of almost 70 degrees Celsius?

He couldn't imagine it: if there were bugs down there, wouldn't they be afraid of being roasted if they stayed in such a high-temperature environment for a long time?

This universe is really amazing...

How could it evolve such a terrifying insect that is not afraid of strong acid and can survive in such a high temperature environment? It is possible that those bugs may not be able to cook when thrown into boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius, right?

Anyway, Captain 031 thought as he walked, if it was a human being, there would definitely be no way to survive in such a harsh high-temperature environment without protection!

"Attention everyone! If you find the situation ahead, be gentle!"

Suddenly, Captain 031 who was walking in the front stopped suddenly.

He raised his fist violently, and whispered to the marines behind him, asking them to pass it on to everyone behind him, then he grabbed the electromagnetic rifle in his hand a little nervously, After gently opening the safety and pushing the cartridge into the chamber, he turned off the searchlight in front of his chest, walked forward slowly, and walked carefully step by step.

In fact, there is no need for the captain to remind,

All of them have seen it.

Not far below this fissure path, at a distance of more than 50 meters, there is a large gap in this narrow passage that can accommodate several marines standing side by side. Outside, there seems to be a faint There is a red light coming from there. It looks like the red light naturally emitted by the planet's magma?

"Quick! Take it easy and pay attention to your feet!"

031 continued to lead the way, while carefully admonishing him.

Finally, within a short distance of 50 meters, even if they moved slowly and cautiously, it took less than a minute for them to reach the gap.

"..."

"Oh, God……"

"Damn UPL..."

This is a huge underground cave...

The few marines who came out of the gap first, including Captain 031 who took the lead, had just taken two steps from the gap when they were immediately startled by the sight in front of them.

They can never imagine that there is such a huge internal cave in the crust of this planet, and there is such a huge nest of insects in the cave?

Captain 031 looked around, only to see a swarthy worm nest at the end of his sight, and even, in the dark place where his sight couldn't reach, are there more?

"..."

He felt that this huge underground cave was at least several times the size of the island where their ground base was?

Under the red gleam of a dark red lava river flowing out of nowhere, he could clearly see: on the floor of the huge cave below, and even at the edge of the cliff gap where they stood, They all have a thick layer of reddish-purple strange substance.

They seem to be special substances condensed by some fungi? Or is it some kind of active substance that coagulates and reproduces flesh and blood?

Then on top of these strange, tentatively active creeps, there are countless green or red, big and small, flesh and blood buildings of different heights.

Their size is as big as their human command center or barracks, and each of them seems to have life, constantly cowardly? On top of their huge bodies, there are many huge jointed limbs with ferocious fangs? Or tentacles?

Then, in the gap between these creeps and the huge flesh and blood buildings or flesh and blood creatures, countless bugs, big and small, are busy back and forth.

Among them, there are the four-legged puppy bugs that attacked the base before, and the snake-shaped bugs that shoot bone spurs. Of course, those huge mammoth-shaped monsters are indispensable!

Looking down from the edge of the cliff, besides the bugs they had seen, there were also countless bug eggs piled up beside those creepers or meat mountain-shaped buildings.

From time to time, one or two of those four-legged puppy bugs broke out of the eggs, and soon possessed powerful mobility...

Even, 031, they also saw countless flying dragon bugs, or the kind of weird bugs that were lying on their stomachs, couldn't name them, and they had never seen them before. Good to bully?

Moreover, the most frightening thing is: just as far as they can see, the approximate number of those bugs seems to be in the tens of thousands? And what about the ones in the distance that you don't see because of the dim light?

031 felt that he didn't dare to think about it anymore. This place must be the nest of bugs, right?

Or, is this just one of their lairs?

It is very possible that these bugs, like ants on the earth, have one group after another?

Anyway, Captain 031 wouldn't believe that there is only one nest for their bugs on this planet?

"Keep quiet! Everyone, slowly retreat into the gap!"

After taking a deep breath, 031 quickly spoke softly.

Then, while waving his hands back, he led the team members back into the gap.

"Captain, what should we do?"

Fortunately, they retreated in time, as if they didn't alarm the swarms?

After everyone withdrew into the gap and made sure that the insect swarm outside hadn't moved, the marines looked at each other with lingering fear, and then all looked at their captain No. 031.

"032, take off the things on your back, be careful, be gentle."

After nodding to the team members, 031 exhaled, and said to the silent team member No. 032 who was carrying a huge square backpack from the beginning to the end.

Afterwards, 032 took a look at the captain and walked over without saying anything.

When he turned around and squatted down gently, so that the captain could help him untie the heavy thing like a large cabinet on his back from the buckle on the back of his armored power combat suit, the two joined forces and pulled it together. Lift gently to the side of the gap.

"What's this……"

Seeing the weird behavior of the captain and 032, others were a little confused.

When they set off from the base, they had already seen the thing on 032's back.

It's just that, when they were transporting the spaceship, no matter how they asked, this 032 was like wood, without saying a word.

And when they asked the captain, the captain also shook his head in silence. To be honest, the rest of them have been very curious about this thing for a long time!

Before that, when they were still bragging and farting on the armored transport spaceship, they had guessed and bet many times, thinking that what this 032 was carrying: either some important combat supplies, such as ammunition or food. Or, is it some kind of the latest anti-jamming expensive detection instrument?

And now, it's finally time to reveal the mystery.

When they came up curiously, watching Captain 031 and 032 spend a lot of effort to gently open the cover of the mechanical code of this big box-shaped man, when they clearly saw the contents inside the cover And when it was time to sign, everyone gasped and took a few steps back in unison...

"ah……"

A marine yelled, but fortunately, he suppressed his voice in time.

"Hey! I said Galen, do we still need to continue fighting?"

On the game platform of the Hope, the two elite marine squads of Galen and Darius, a total of 20 marines, were revived again at the stone bridge outside Stratholme. .

So far, in just one hour, they opened up the special map created by this little Annie to exercise their cold weapon combat skills: the copy of Stratholme, and the dead group has been destroyed thirty-two times up!

These marines, from the very beginning, only knew how to hack and slash, but now they have learned to divide the responsibilities, support each other, and fight against the enemy!

Therefore, after the tenth time of their difficult group extermination, they successfully eliminated the speed elite monster entrenched outside the gate of Stratholme, the elite monster that ate them eleven times. Ghoul!

Of course, this is still the simplest mode...

Then, after they wiped out the elite ghoul at the gate of the city, they began to advance steadily, relying on the ability of infinite resurrection to reset the map, so far, they have successfully encountered the first Stratholme The real BOSS in the city!

Then, without any surprise, the twenty of them were blocked by the other party, and they could no longer explore the city deeply...

It's fine if it's just that you can't make an inch, but that boss, that monster is also a huge ghoul, and is called Timmy by the mages of the curse sect, and it actually ate them, the two marines. Twelve times!

This made many of them feel that besides practicing melee combat skills, they came to this map to deliver food to the undead in the city, right?

Twenty fresh, sweet and warm human meals?

Although up to now, they have also learned a lot of opportunistic things, and have researched many ways to target the undead or use the strange energy on the weapon.

For example: use the flames in the city to burn the undead, and use those strange water bottles around the stone or wooden houses to smash the undead? Or, against the supernatural spells released by those strange monsters, use the energy of your own big sword or ax to counteract the damage, and then hack the opponent to death?

"Then call again? But this time, after we enter the city, instead of going to the right, try going to the left instead?"

After thinking about it, Galen felt that they should try again, anyway, there is still a little time before the end of the meal.

If you go to the right in the city, they have tried many times before!

At the corner of the street more than a hundred meters to the right, there is that terrifying ghoul named Timmy blocking the way, and Galen is a little afraid of it!

For now, they can't beat each other for the time being, so don't send food anymore, right?

And if they don't want to refresh this dungeon and reset the small area at the gate of the city that they have finally opened up, they can only go to the street to the left of the gate and try it out.

"Left? The left is the left! Everyone copy guys, let's go!"

After seeming to think that Galen's idea was good, Darius waved his hand to let Zhinao Shuguang re-equip himself and all of them with armored power combat uniforms, and then he took his battle ax first and headed into the city gate first. go.

"Brothers, keep up, let's go to the left after entering the city this time, and fight one last time! As long as you kill a boss at random, we'll quit to eat!"

In fact, Darius had noticed just now.

Not far to the left of the city gate, he had seen it from a distance: in a dead end, except for a few skeletons, ghouls and a few apprentices of the Cursed Sect, there seemed to be only a small, ordinary man standing. A small human-sized boss?

Then, if they clean up the zombie skeletons and ordinary ghouls on the road first, it shouldn't be too difficult to deal with the lone boss on the opposite side, right?

Anyway, the difficulty of this dungeon has been lowered by them now. All the monsters will only move within a certain range. It will never be like when the original difficulty was started, when they just entered the city gate and were blocked by a group of monsters Beat up!

Soon, the twenty male and female marines were each holding their own Demacian greatsword emitting golden light, or holding their Noxus battle axes surging with red anger energy, full of fighting spirit. Entering through the Stratholme city gate that they had already opened, after giving up the difficult direction on the right, they turned to the street on the left.

"Quick, quick, quick! Let's get on shoulders together, first lure those little monsters out, and kill them one by one!"

People are forced out. After being eaten more than 30 times, Galen and his group also learned a lot of good ways to open up wasteland dungeons!

Just like now, when they pull monsters, when they come across those who feel powerful, they will step forward wretchedly, pull them out one by one, and then 20 people will surround them and hack them to death!

And when they encounter those little skeletons or slow-moving zombies who are weaker than them, they will rush forward and open up.

"Draius! Attention, there is a patrolling elite ghouls coming over from your side, please don't attract them!"

"..."

Finally, when they obscenely cleaned up the mobs on the road little by little, they finally reached their goal this time!

In the dead end of this street, in front of a strange human wearing pale cloth armor with pale skin, hair and eyes of the same color?

"Galen, what do you think of this guy's strength?"

Outside the starting distance of this boss, Darius asked Galen a little hesitantly.

"I think he should be easy to deal with!"

Galen looked at the strange man standing in front of a skeleton gate for a while, then nodded.

"Look, he doesn't have those fangs and claws, nor does he have the heavy armor like those patrolling elite death knights. He looks like an ordinary person? Apart from holding a wooden mallet in his hand, at most, he can Just like those cursed believers before, put a little bit of power, right?"

Looking left and right, up and down, Galen finally came to a conclusion: the pale cloth robe and skin-colored humanoid monster in front of him should be easier to deal with?

First of all, his size is not as tall as his own marines! According to the experience of more than 30 times of their Marine Corps team killing, in this Stratholme dungeon, the bigger the body and the more ferocious the appearance, the more powerful it is? !

Secondly, he doesn't seem to have any reliable weapons? As long as he grows a wooden mallet, it probably won't be able to break the armored power combat uniforms on people like himself, right?

So, since time is running out now, and they are about to quit the game to eat, then, first pick this soft-looking persimmon and squeeze it out?

"It's not a wooden mallet! It seems to be called a staff?"

Darius immediately corrected Galen's erroneous statement. The apprentices and freaks of the Cursed Sect they met before also liked to hold a wooden mallet, but it was not as big as the one in front of them.

"But you're right, this guy looks really easy to bully!"

After correcting the other party's wrong statement, Darius also nodded.

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this guy in front of him was a bully! The opponent, at most, is like those cursed believers, who can cast some strange supernatural spells, right?

Then, taking advantage of the gap between the opponent's attacks, other people who were not attacked by the opponent's supernatural spells rushed up to chop him up?

Look at the opponent's body, surely it won't be harder to cut than those ghouls, right? As long as one person rushed forward to chop him, he would be dead!

"Okay! This time, I will take the lead in the charge! Attention everyone, I am going to start monsters!"

Since Darius also felt that the guy in front of him was easy to bully, he must be right!

Galen decided, fuck it!

So, he began to greet the other team members. After a while, he first poured the righteous power of Demacia into himself, and after increasing his resistance to those strange and strange spells, he took the lead in rushing forward. Once the opponent attacked first If you say it yourself, then other people can take the opportunity to go up and chop down the opponent!

"Go forward! Get ready, once the opponent starts to attack me, you will charge directly!"

After speaking, Galen held the great sword emitting golden light, and after letting the light energy on the sword cover most of his body, he took the lead in taking a few steps forward, reaching within the opponent's reaction distance.

"Oh? Look, what did I find? A group of strange guys came to Stratholme, the world where we died? Hehe...it's really interesting!"

Wearing pale cloth armor, the strange man with no blood on his body was beyond the expectations of Galen and Darius.

After they entered the opponent's reaction distance, the opponent didn't attack directly, but spoke first and gave the lines? This is really a bit rare!

"Oh, my mother! Brothers, look, this guy, it can still talk?!"

Out of curiosity, Darius took another two steps forward carelessly.

"Hey! Who are you? I don't think you are a good guy. You must be with those undead, right? Hurry up and tell me, otherwise, I will kill you with an ax!"

While Darius asked arrogantly, he raised the huge battle ax in his hand that glowed with red anger.

You know, they have been fighting for so long, and this is the first time they have encountered a monster who can only speak at such a high level. The opponents they encountered before, except for those cursed believers who can only shout and kill , is there only the kind of monster that will beat them to death and tear off their armor to eat meat?

"Come on, Darius! It's just a game character set by Little Annie, and it's just an NPC with a certain degree of intelligence endowed by Zhi brain Shuguang, so don't talk to him, hack it to death quickly, and then Everyone, hurry up and eat!"

Galen, who didn't want to waste any more time, grabbed Darius, and then walked forward directly holding his great sword.

"Hehehe... A group of rude idiots, feel the horror of Maleki's deep cold..."

The necromancer, who called himself Maleki, didn't seem to care about the enemy's offense.

In his opinion, the twenty weirdos in front of him were nothing more than a group of apprentices wearing strange armors and holding fairly sophisticated magic weapons.

This is definitely true, in his view, Maleki, they are a group of apprentices who are thorough paladins and warriors!

Their level is just apprentices, it cannot be higher!

And who is Malekith?

He, Maleki, was one of the first mages to join the Cult of the Damned!

Specializes in ice spells, and has also studied a lot of necromancer magic. He has shown extraordinary talent in dealing with the coldness of the tomb. Within the sect, his talent and aptitude can be said to be top-notch of those that exist!

The never-ending thirst for power drives him to hone his mastery of dark magic and icy energies, always preparing for the day when he will become an eternal lich.

The title of Pale Maleki is not for nothing!

As long as he continues to study the ice spell and the undead system in depth, I believe that he will almost be able to convert into an official lich and gain eternal life in a short time, right?

So, when he saw that the twenty little bastards with swords or tomahawks dared to challenge him, Maleki smiled disdainfully, and lifted them up. Staff in hand.

"He's going to cast a spell! Everyone rush! Hack him to death!"

As soon as he saw the monster in front raised the wooden mallet in his hand, and the blue-white light flashed on the head of the staff, Galen quickly shouted, and at the same time fully activated the power of justice in Demacia, covering the the front of his body.

He had to follow the previous plan, let himself charge first, withstand the opponent's attack, attract firepower to his team members, and strive to hack the opponent to death in the shortest possible time!

"The Tomb of Ice..."

In an instant, after the blue-white light flashed, a terrifying cold wave swept in, and in an instant, they were about to swarm up, relying on the large number of people, Galen and Darius, who chopped the enemy into pieces with knives and knives. The twenty marines were all frozen in large blocks of ice emitting icy energy.

"Hehehe..."

Looking at his masterpiece just now, the twenty lumps of ice lumps, and the frozen faces of those strange people who were frozen in the frozen tomb, Maleki nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he stretched out his own staff again.

Frostbolt!

A series of blue Frostbolt spells began to shoot out from the top of his staff.

Without haste, he shattered these strange people who dared to provoke him, together with their strange armor, with the Frost Arrow into pieces of shattered frozen pieces...

"..."

"..."

Soon, Galen and Darius, the twenty marines, were resurrected again in front of the Stratholme Bridge at the beginning of the map.

They just looked at each other in dismay, and no one spoke again.

"Galen..."

After a while, when Darius was about to say something, he was immediately interrupted by Galen raising his hand.

"Okay, don't talk about it now... Now, go offline! Eat! Let's continue until the evening!"

Galen, with a dark face, didn't even think about it, he just clicked the holographic button to exit the game, and disappeared in front of everyone.

"Uh... that's what I wanted to say just now!"

Shrugging his shoulders, Darius waved to the others after seeing that Galen had already withdrawn first.

"Okay! Let's all withdraw, let's go eat!"

After speaking, he also had a dark face, and he clicked the button to exit the game helplessly.

Damn it!

Finally, after sitting up from the simulation cabin, Darius suddenly felt that this splash game map is actually not fun at all!

Originally, they thought that they finally met someone who looked like a bully, but what happened?

They are twenty of the most elite marines...

He didn't even have a chance to resist, and the opponent was frozen into twenty big ice cubes in an instant?

Then, they were knocked into piles of frozen pieces one by one by the opponent like beating peas?

That guy is definitely much more difficult to deal with than that ghoul boss named Timmy!

At least Darius felt that the attack method of that ghoul was still within the scope of their comprehension, but what was the name of Maleki just now, he had such a powerful ability? Or can it be said to be a freezing spell?

Is this broken game allowed to be played?

On the easiest difficulty, is it still so difficult? A group of people have been tossing around for so long, but they are still wandering around the gate area of ​​Stratholme?

"Let's go, captain! Let's eat!"

After passing Darius' simulation cabin, one of the team members greeted Darius, who was sitting on the simulation cabin and was sulking.

"Huh? Stratholme is 0.01% complete on easy difficulty?!"

When the marines quit the game, little Annie, who had already eaten and returned to the single room of her barracks, opened her authority panel out of boredom, and checked the information of the map she made.

Then, she saw the degree of completion that surprised her.

Are they all that stupid?

It's all adjusted to the lowest difficulty, and it's only 0.01% complete? Thanks to them, they actually have the face to say that they went to the planet Azeroth to grab land and settle down?

"Huh? Have you died so many times? Are you so persevering?"

After thinking about it, Little Anne hurriedly added a hidden setting in the copy of Stratholme on the real difficulty: once the opponent clears Stratholme on the real difficulty, the big demon, Archimonde, will Will make an appearance and appear out of town!

hey-hey! In that case, if they were given another hundred years, they probably wouldn't even be able to clear Stratholme on real difficulty, would they?

That's right, that's how it should be done!
