Chapter 217: Be Strong
The battle has never subsided since it began, because as long as there is a fluctuation of spiritual power here, the Zerg will be attracted here, it's just a matter of quantity.
Unless all the bugs in the nest can be killed at once.
But this is obviously unrealistic.
In the fierce battle, Lu Ye, under the cover of He Xiyin, rushed into the nest, took a quick look, and was forced back by the overwhelming bugs.
It was a large underground space, conservatively estimated to be larger than the square in front of the Tianji Palace. The environment was too dark, and Lu Ye didn't see it clearly.
Wherever he could see, it was covered with a strange flesh wall, and the dense flesh sacs on the flesh wall were bulging high, and Zergs kept breaking out of the sacs.
This is the nest!
The whole nest feels like the stomach of a living creature, which is pregnant with extremely huge vitality, and that vitality is the source of the rapid reproduction of the Zerg.
According to the fourth brother, the Zerg is a very special existence. After they are hatched, they will devour everything with vitality and energy. A small part of these vitality and energy will make the Zerg itself stronger, and the other part will be fed back to the Zerg nest, and the Zerg nest will breed more and stronger individuals with the vitality and energy fed back.
There is a very close connection between the Zerg nest and the Zerg, and they complement each other. Someone has calculated that even if there is only one such Zerg nest, if it is ignored, it will only take ten years for the entire Lingxi battlefield to be destroyed, and then the Zerg will become the master here.
No one dares to imagine how powerful the Zerg bred by the vitality and energy of the entire Lingxi battlefield is.
Of course, this kind of thing is impossible to happen. Every time the Zerg tide breaks out, it will be contained by all the major sects and then killed in the bud.
Now the cleaning of the outer periphery of the Bixue Sect has been basically completed. Without enough Zergs to collect vitality and energy, the scale of the Zerg tide can be basically curbed. There must be a lot of vitality and energy stored in the insect nest at present. What the Bixue Sect needs to do is to kill as many Zergs as possible. As long as all the vitality and energy in the Zerg tide are exhausted, then this battle will be won.
This is also the standard procedure for the major sects to deal with the Zerg tide. For countless years, the major sects have been very experienced in dealing with the Zerg tide.
There will definitely be some casualties in this process, even those major sects in the core circle cannot avoid it. The Zerg in the core circle will not be so easy to kill. Lu Ye once encountered a Zerg that can blend into the surrounding environment and almost reach the level of invisibility in the mirage. They attack silently, and the sudden attack is a fatal blow.
There are such Zerg in the core circle! The sects in the outer circle do not have it. This is obviously the result of the harmony of the heavenly secret. The heavenly secret will not let the sects in the outer circle suddenly face such an extinction disaster.
But if the insect nest continues to develop, such insects will definitely appear.
There is one thing that needs to be paid attention to in particular. The insects must not be allowed to get the bodies of the monks. Once they get the bodies of the monks, the insect nest will grow greatly, and the insects bred will become stronger.
At present, there is only one channel on the side of the Blue Blood Sect that hits the location of the insect nest. Lu Ye is in charge here, and it is basically no problem to defend this place.
The rest is to wait for other channels to hit the location of the insect nest. In this way, the periphery will be completely worry-free, and only need to concentrate the power on the insect nest.
Considering that some places are progressing fast and some places are slow, Lu Ye asked Chen Yu and Yiyi to leave and support various places.
He stayed here.
Soon, he was left alone here.
He was not idle either. With the help of the power of the imperial weapon, he provoked the insects in the insect nest again and again, lured them out and killed them.
He did not dare to rush in rashly. There were too many insects inside. Lu Ye even felt a little threat in the depths of darkness. In other words, there were definitely insects that could threaten his life.
Soon, the passage was filled with the bodies of the Zerg. Lu Ye tried to clean them up at first, but as he killed more and more Zerg, there were too many to collect.
Soon he found something was wrong, because he killed more and more Zerg, but the bodies did not change much.
After paying attention, he found that there were Zerg carrying bodies to the insect nest, which really made him laugh.
There was no way, so he could only use his storage bag to move far away again and again, and then kill back.
Half a day later, the passages were pierced, and the complete map of the underground was drawn. From the only entrance of the wormhole, through various forks, it finally converged to the insect nest, and only nine passages were left.
During this period, many people were injured, and more than a dozen people died, including an entire team, who were unlucky enough to encounter the seventh-level Zerg.
With the current average cultivation level of the Bixue Sect, only a few teams with sixth-level cultivators can deal with the seventh-level Zerg, and other teams basically died when they encountered it.
Now that all the passages have been broken through, the situation is clear. As long as the Green Blood Sect can block the nine passages, they can completely control the situation.
This is not an easy task, because the passages are so small that at most two or three people can fight side by side. The Green Blood Sect currently has nearly 700 monks. If they are all blocked at the passages, only a few people will be able to fight the Zerg head-on, and the others can only support them from behind...
So the correct approach is to kill into the Zerg nest and open up a battlefield that can accommodate dozens of people at each passage. In this way, the advantage of having more people can be brought into play.
What concerned Lu Ye was the danger hidden in the darkness. If he was not mistaken, there were definitely eight levels of Zerg in there.
Once it is not handled properly, the Blue Blood Sect will inevitably suffer huge losses.
He doesn't need to pay too much attention to one or two eighth-level Zerg alone, as there are too many of them.
The reason why the insect tide is called a natural disaster is because every time the insect tide comes, many monks die in battle. This cannot be avoided by strong or weak strength. Even a strong man like Li Baxian will not be able to avoid the insect tide when dealing with it. If you are not careful enough, you will die as well.
The only good news for Lu Ye now is that the Zerg are very sensitive to fluctuations in spiritual power and light sources. The stronger the Zerg, the more so.
Maybe something can be done with this...
In front of the nine passage entrances, the sounds of fierce fighting continued. However, because the entrance was not big, the intensity of the fighting was not strong. The monks were able to hold on as they drove back and forth.
Lu Ye raised his hand and clicked on his battlefield mark, and messages with the same content came out one after another: "Confirm status!"
Soon, there was a message reply.
Yiyi: "Ready."
Chen Yu: "Everything is fine."
He Xiyin: "Fifth Senior Brother, if I die, I must ask Sixth Senior Sister to bury me, otherwise I will not give in."
Zhu Wenbo: "We can come here at any time, just waiting for the order from Fifth Senior Brother."
Yin Haoran: "You can do it at any time."
Luo Qisheng: "The condition is very good."
Gu Yang: "The people are in place."
Kong Niu: "Okay!"
Great, everyone is fine.
Among the people who responded, except for Kong Niu, who was at the fifth level, the others were at the sixth level at worst. With each of them sitting in charge, and supported by dozens of monks, they opened up a battlefield near the entrance of the cave. It was not a big problem. Because the attack is launched from nine directions at the same time, the pressure that needs to be borne will also be equally divided.
As for Kong Niu's side, Lu Ye increased his manpower. Their side had the largest number of monks, almost a hundred.
Of course, this is only the most ideal situation. After the war actually starts, some accidents will definitely happen, and Lu Ye himself is prepared to deal with such accidents.
"I'm a medical practitioner, Lu Ye. Shouldn't I be treating the wounded in the back?"
Hua Ci's gentle voice sounded from behind.
Just before, Lu Ye had transferred Hua Ci over. He didn't know that Hua Ci was afraid of bugs. In the chess game before, she slapped a machine spider on Lu Ye's face. It was just a machine creature. , now we have to face the insect tide, just thinking about it makes Hua Cixin feel hairy and uncomfortable.
There are actually only two kinds of bugs she is afraid of, one with no legs and one with many legs.
But there was no way. All nine passages needed to be guarded. Even if Lu Ye counted Yiyi and Kong Niu, there were only eight people.
The background of Jade Blood Sect is still too weak.
I had no choice but to call Hua Ci over. Although she was a medical practitioner, she had a sixth-level cultivation. It was no problem to sit in a passage, but in this environment, she might not be able to use her unique abilities. Mushroom means.
Lu Ye turned to look at her, their eyes meeting each other.
"be strong!"
Hua Ci: "?"
"here we go!"
Lu Ye turned around, and when he lowered his body, he raised his hand and pressed the handle of the knife. With a bang, a wave of air swept across him, and his whole body flew forward like an arrow from the string. When the light of the knife flashed, the knife blocking the entrance was Several Zerg were chopped into pieces.
"Kill!" A roar came out, and the monks followed Lu Ye and rushed into the insect nest. In an instant, the already quiet insect nest was completely boiling, and a large number of insects surged towards this side, and the darkness was full of rustling. The sound of crawling was heard, and all that could be seen were ferocious insects.
Those with high cultivation stood in front, forming a semicircle with their backs to the entrance of the cave. Those with low cultivation stood behind. The light of spells and talismans began to bloom, and the Zerg rushed towards the incoming road one by one.
Almost at the same time that Lu Ye took action, the monks from the other eight cave entrances also rushed in. The situation was exactly the same as here, with those with higher cultivation standing at the front.
A great war began.
During the battle, someone shouted a reminder: "Quick, those who are injured or those with low cultivation level collect insect corpses, don't let the insect nest absorb them."
The reason why we have to collect insect corpses during war is that we have no choice. The insect nest is a very strange place. It can use the hatched insect races to collect vitality and energy, and then breed more insect races.
The flesh wall inside the insect nest has a very powerful function of absorbing vitality and energy.
If the killed insect corpses are not collected as soon as possible, the vitality and energy contained in the insect corpses will be absorbed by the omnipresent flesh wall in a very short period of time.
When Lu Ye was alone here before, he discovered that there were insects carrying corpses. Their purpose of doing so was to add vitality and energy to the insect nest.
