Chapter 32 Double C-Class Ant Nest

"Entrusted cooperation system?" Pandora stared at Shen Yi with wide eyes. Perhaps because of the veil, her eyes looked particularly large and bright.

"That's right." Shen Yi nodded earnestly, and he began to wrench his fingers: "First, you are not allowed to enter my team, I don't need observers to supervise me."

"But my joining will help your strength!"

"Judging from your performance last time... yes is equal to no." Shen Yi shrugged, and Pandora was angry.

Shen Yi raised his second finger: "Secondly, I have the right to freely choose whether to accept the task or not, and the right to freely decide how to execute it. That is to say, I can't accept the work that your boss gives me. Then, you can do whatever you like, you have no right to tell me what to do, do you understand?"

Pandora took a breath: "Understood, you continue..."

She specially used the word "you" to represent the anger in her heart. Shen Yi laughed and continued: "Third, you don't need to ask me to do things like collecting information. I don't have so much energy to collect and sell. Other people's information. It's not worth selling people for a small benefit, and you can't offer a better price. I can probably consider taking over such things as killing people, because those guys are really annoying, and I don't want to one day They pester me for this and that. But my price will not be cheap, because it affects my choice of mission world."

"Then I'll find someone else to do it."

Shen Yi shrugged indifferently: "That's the best, then there's only one last thing left: go to the wilderness to hunt the designated beasts, and give you the harvest. The conditions are as follows: first, give me all relevant information. Second , to determine the remuneration according to the value of the reward, and to trade fairly. Your boss has the right of first refusal when the price is equal, and this is the only power they have."

Pandora took several long breaths, and finally said: "This means that you are not the agent of the bosses at all, and there is no need for the bosses to take any extra care of you. This is just a simple entrustment."

"That's right!" Shen Yi nodded with certainty: "I don't need your bosses to give me any special support before I act, but after I do what they want me to do, they must give me what they want. Make a good enough price. Although it may make them pay a little more than the average agent, it also saves them from deadweight losses, doesn't it?"

Pandora thought for a while and finally nodded: "It's fair, but you have to promise that you won't reveal the deal between us."

"Of course, this is the most basic professional ethics."

"Occupation?" Pandora sneered: "Is your occupation a mercenary?"

"No, my profession is to extort big money." Shen Yi chuckled.

———————————

Pandora is gone.

The matter has been negotiated, and she must go back to report. Only after the bosses nod, this matter can be finalized.

But before leaving, she gave Shen Yi a topographical map of the Ant Hills and related information. Although it is not very detailed, but put together with the information on Zisha, it is basically possible to get a whole picture of the ant hills.

The reason why Pandora was so generous was because Shen Yi told her that he was going to make a team assembly order. If Pandora still hopes that this cooperation can be successful, it is best to help him first.

Pandora felt very helpless about this shameless statement, but finally agreed.

She knew very well that what the bosses had planned was by no means easy to accomplish. If there was anyone in the East Second District who was most likely to accomplish this, then besides the Gale Team, it would be Shen Yi's Broken Blade Team. In this case, it is still necessary to take the initiative to show favor. The difference is that the cost of showing favor to Shen Yi is obviously higher than that of others.

Seeing Pandora leave, Shen Yi whistled and waved towards the distance.

The lord and others ran over, and the little nurse hugged Shen Yi's arm and asked affectionately, "Brother Shen Yi, what does that woman want from you?"

"You know she's a woman too?"

The little nurse wrinkled her nose triumphantly: "She thought she was wearing phantom gauze,

My aunt can't see her origin anymore, huh, it's a pity that phantom gauze can change her appearance, but it can't change her coquettishness. "

Shen Yi pinched her little face: "You are cruel."

The little nurse smiled triumphantly: "Then what do you think she asked you for?"

Shen Yi pinched her nose instead: "I know I can't say it but I still ask."

"Got it." The nurse stuck out her tongue, and then suddenly shouted: "The gardener is back!"

A figure jumped up and down the hillside, and soon came to Shen Yi's side, it was the gardener.

"Brother Shen Yi, we found their whereabouts."

"Did they find out?"

"No." The gardener replied with certainty: "Brother Shen Yi, don't worry, I know the abilities of the members of the Stormwind team best. I have been following them from a long distance. He deliberately took a long detour several times and even sent someone to stay behind, but he didn't expect that I had a black earthworm bracelet, so I hid them all."

"Good job, where did they go?"

"A valley thirty kilometers away is just south of Ant Hill. The entrance is very hidden, and it's really hard to find if you don't pay attention."

"Know what they do?"

"When they got there, they started to sprinkle a white powder on the ground. The powder was sprinkled along the entire valley, basically covering the entire periphery of the valley. There were also people planting seeds on the ground."

"seed?"

"Yes." The gardener grinned, "I don't know what that powder is, but I know the seeds."

Shen Yi also smiled: "It's really a party person to send you there, what kind of seed is that?"

"Demon-binding vine, an immovable offensive plant." Several black tree species had appeared in the hands of the gardener, which was the tree seed he spilled when dealing with the berserk beast: "The magic-binding vine is divided into two stages: planting and spawning." .The shorter the planting time, the lower the life and attack damage, and the lower the survival time."

"Tell me how to use it."

"If the magic vine is planted within one minute, the magic vine will only have one hundred points of vitality and 12 points of attack power after spawning. The survival time is only one minute. If the planting time is more than one day, it will have four hundred points of vitality. , attack power 22, with a fixed effect when attacking, the attacked target is fixed on the ground for 1-5 seconds and cannot move, but the priority is only 25."

"Is there any longer planting time?"

"The magic vine, which has been planted for ten days, has 800 points of vitality after being spawned. After 30 days of planting, the magic vine no longer needs to be spawned, and it will grow automatically. The vitality is 1,200, the attack power is 40, and the attacked target is fixed on the ground 1 - Can’t move for 5 seconds, priority 65. In addition, it can emit a poisonous gas with a distance of three meters. The user’s life recovery speed increases within this range, and the enemy’s target is weakened, and the life recovery speed is also reduced.”

"Thirty days? 1,200 points of life? Is this magic vine so powerful?" Shen Yi was also surprised.

"En." The gardener nodded affirmatively: "This is a magic plant seed unique to the wilderness, which cannot be bought in stores. Once planted in large quantities, it can form a magic vine forest. If users fight in this jungle, their strength will double. .I left them some seeds of this kind of magic vine before, but there were only a few dozen. This time they used at least a thousand seeds, and I don’t know where they got so many.”

"Of course there are people supporting them." Shen Yi said meaningfully.

All the clues came together at this moment, and he knew exactly what was fighting between Ban Dongming and Xie Rongjun.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Shen Yi said coldly: "Competing for the qualification to be a dog..."

"Brother Shen Yi, do we want to..." The gardener made a gesture of cutting the weeds and rooting out the roots, with an eager expression on his face, obviously wanting to secretly attack the Gale Team.

Shen Yi immediately shook his head: "No, they used so many magic-binding vines to encircle the valley, so it must take a month to be effective. Now that the target location is clear, there is no need to rush to teach them a lesson. Let's do it first. It’s our own business, let’s deal with them next time.”

"what about now?"

"Of course, get the team assembly order first." Shen Yi shook the Ant Hills information in his hand and laughed.

—————————

After integrating the information of Pandora and Zisha, Shen Yi has a basic understanding of the situation of the black ant nest.

A standard double-C nest is mainly composed of queen ants, guardian ants, and a large number of soldier ants and worker ants. Among them, the queen ant is the master of the entire ant nest, and the team assembly order can only be obtained by killing the queen ant. However, this information does not come from Zisha's records, but is known to most adventurers.

Ant queens are not aggressive. The real trouble in killing the queen lies in the large number of guards around the queen.

"According to the data records, if you want to kill a double C-level ant nest, the first thing you have to face is about 4,000 worker ants. These worker ants have a vitality of 500 and no attack ability, but they are large in number. When attacked, they will Send a distress call."

Shen Yi introduced to everyone about the strength of the double C-level ant nest.

"Soldier ants are usually responsible for the rescue, with 800 points of vitality, 20 attack damage, and 10 defense. They can fly at low altitudes and move faster. They have sharp jaw attack skills, which cause double damage to the target after activation, and can also breathe poison. thorns, but each soldier ant can only spit out one poisonous stinger in a day. There are about a thousand soldier ants in a double-C grade ant nest, and one general ant will be born among every hundred. : HP 1500, attack damage 30, defense 30."

Speaking of this, he looked at everyone.

Hearing the combination of engineer ants with a number of up to 5,000, everyone's faces changed.

Zhang Jianjun and the others did not forget that just over ninety berserk beasts forced the adventurers into a panic. Now the number of soldier ants alone is ten times that of Berserk Beasts, not to mention that the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers is also stronger than Berserk Beasts.

In the ant hills, a huge number of soldier ants constitute the most powerful guardian force of the ant nest. They not only have strong individual combat effectiveness, but also have the ability to fly, and they are often dispatched in groups to attack the target group. These soldier ants also have a hard metal-like shell, which belongs to the hard-armored army, and has a great damage reduction effect on the damage of ordinary gunpowder and rockets.

This is also a disadvantage of ordinary explosives. Not to mention the limit of lethality, the effect on armor type, high defense type and many other arms will be greatly reduced. Its attack damage is not a simple power reduction mode, but the higher the target defense, the stronger the resistance to ordinary explosive damage.

As for the combat effectiveness of worker ants, although they are very low, the huge sea of ​​ants is enough to overwhelm adventurers layer by layer.

However, for Shen Yi who wanted to attack the double C-level ant nest, it was far from over. Shen Yi continued:

"These two hurdles alone are already an insurmountable moat for most people, but there are still three hurdles before killing the queen ant. The third hurdle is the guardian ants. Every ant queen will have Five guard ants, one of them is the captain. The guard ants are the most loyal guardian warriors in the ant nest. No matter what happens, they will never leave the queen ant. They are fast, fierce and powerful, and their attack power is very strong, even stronger than general ants. The ferocity is doubled. Among them, the life of the guard ants is 3,000, and the attack damage is 50 points. The captain of the guard ants has 4,000 life, and the attack damage is 70 points. Except for the lack of some high-lethal offensive skills, they are almost no worse than the BOSS in the slums , and there are five such bosses, this is the third hurdle."

Everyone looked at each other without saying a word.

At this point they stopped sighing.

When the difficulty is extremely great, there is no point in increasing it. It's like killing someone at 70 yards per hour, and killing someone at 170 yards...

Shen Yi continued:

"The fourth hurdle is to actively retreat and call for rescue. Black ants are not beasts with no IQ at all. They are much smarter than real ants. When the casualties of an ant nest exceed one-fifth, They will choose the defense strategy of turtles, no matter how you tease them, they will not take the initiative to attack. Therefore, the effect of booby-killing strategies on them is very limited. If you take strong attack measures against them, when their casualties exceed A third of the time, at any time, they may call for help from a nearby ant nest, and the nearby ant nest will send an army to help. This is the most variable of all puzzles, you don't know when the ant nest you attack will Sending out a call for help, I don’t know if the support will come, I don’t even know how strong the support force is, it may be a small army of a hundred soldier ants, or it may be a full nest of ten large ant nests..."

Everyone didn't speak at all, and some people were already lying on their backs, just listening to the scriptures.

"The fifth hurdle is the ant queen herself. I am honored to tell you that the vitality of a queen ant is 8,000 points."

"I'm not surprised at all." Zhang Jianjun muttered.

"However, the queen ant has no attack power, but some special skills. 1. Laying eggs. It can make up for the consumption during the battle by laying a large number of eggs and hatching them into soldier ants. 2. Mental influence. It has a mental influence on the target's life, weakening Its fighting spirit. 3 Summon guards. No matter where the guard ants are, they can quickly send their guards to protect themselves, and at the same time send at least one hundred soldier ants and one general ant. 4 Resurrection guards. The guardian ants who died in battle are resurrected."

"Why not resurrect a hundred times?" Zhang Jianjun pulled his beard and shouted: "It can be more perverted!"

"You don't have to be so excited." Shen Yi comforted him.

"It's impossible not to be excited. The difficulty of challenging a double C-level ant nest is equivalent to the sum of ten ordinary zone mission bosses! No, it's more than that! Now I know what it means to be fooled, and I swear I will never Don't come to this ghost place! Abnormal! Outrageous! Crazy! This is simply themefrommissionimpossible!"

Shen Yi laughed: "Do you think this is an impossible task?"

"Of course, no one can do this kind of task."

"Then where did these materials come from?" Shen Yi shook the paper in his hand.

"...perhaps hundreds of people joined forces to do it, like the Corridor of Life."

"In the wilderness, joint operations are rare, and cannibalism is the norm. I'm sure that the information in my hand was not done by a large number of adventurers, because those who have these information eventually became the bloody city. The strong ones. If they can't even pass the ant nest, let's not mention the more difficult ones in the future."

"Then you mean you have a solution?"

"certainly."

"How to solve it?" Zhang Jianjun asked.

"It's very simple." Shen Yi took out the shooting moon, and then took out a box of C-level armor-piercing bullets and placed them in front of everyone.

"C-level armor-piercing projectile, 55 points of damage, shooting the moon, 15 points of muzzle kinetic energy, 70 points of total bullet damage. The skill Moon Scar, increases the damage of the designated target by 0.5 times within one minute, and the total damage is 105 points."

"Determine an ant nest to be attacked, rush in, find the queen, and then shoot at it, shooting continuously at a rate of three rounds per second, after 30 seconds..."

Shen Yi spread out his hands: "It's done!"

Collectively stupid.
