Chapter 571 Hunting
When Lu Ping'an was still doing a lot of killing, this underground palace was also in daily operation.
The arrival of a strong person is not enough to change the entire environment. Even if a rule-level "typhoon" passes by, how should the world develop, or how should it continue to develop.
". Is it time to go berserk again?"
"There is some commotion in the Gray Ax tribe, everyone pay attention."
After a chance encounter, the seekers exchanged information of their own.
In a sense, all humans and adventurers here are invaders, and the native residents here have never been friendly.
"The period of turmoil? So soon?"
The residents here are divided into two categories, one is intelligent monsters, and the other is ordinary monsters that have just been reborn. There is no cooperative relationship between the two.
On the contrary, the most ruthless ones chasing and killing ordinary monsters are actually those intelligent monsters.
The reason is actually quite simple. The living space here is limited. If everyone is a hungry beast, the competition for living resources will also lead to civil war.
It is precisely because of this that there is a concept of the so-called "turmoil period". After a certain period of time, these "shepherds" need to actively consume these herds.
"This time, is it the Gray Ax tribe that caused the trouble? Are there no other tribes involved?"
"At least I haven't seen those well-known powerful units want to notify and evade?"
"certainly."
The background of the speech is hundreds of beasts sprinting forward.
Among them are stone lizards, stone giants, stone lions and other common local species, but the most dangerous ones are the intelligent species wearing armor.
During the period of turmoil, it is often the wave of beasts led by intelligent monsters. Those monsters that exceed the limits of the local environment, driven by their intelligent kin, begin to attack everything in the underground palace purposefully.
Sometimes, they even attack the well-guarded gaps. Sometimes, the beast tide is also a cover to cover up the real military operations of intelligent monsters.
This period of turmoil is actually quite frequent. The Stone Ax tribe's activity area is on the upper floor. After causing a burst of chaos on the eighth to tenth floors underground, it fell into calm.
But this time, something seems different
"There seems to be commotion in the depths of the ground. Do you need to notify the outside?"
"Let me know, I always feel something is wrong"
Every gap is a small world, which often maintains a dynamic balance, but this balance is not eternal, and often an accidental factor can break this fragile balance.
".Grey Ax Tribe, a quasi-regular creature appeared."
This situation was the most troublesome. When the news of the birth of a quasi-king spread, the entire underground palace fell into chaos.
But often the message of warning comes too late
"Damn it, why did you encounter so many monsters?"
On the twenty-first floor, a group of adventurers is in crisis.
Compared with other colleagues, their strength is not strong. Most of the team are Tier 2 professionals. But the number of more than 20 people is the key for them to reach this point.
But generally speaking, for a team of this size, don't even think about making money. It's pretty good just to break even in the income distribution.
They are obviously not normal adventurers.
"...how did you find us students?"
"It may be that we reacted slowly. When we saw those teams retreating before, we should have kept up."
"They told us to retreat before, Captain Yan said we have too many people"
These are some junior and senior students and recruits. Although there are many top students with majors in science and technology, politics and law, they lack the ability to stand alone in most adventure groups.
"Since students can't find reliable teammates, let's form a student team."
"Anyway, we are exercising experience, and it will be safer if there are more people."
"As long as you don't lose money, you should find more people."
This kind of thinking circuit is simple and practical, but it lacks the guidance of veterans, and it is natural to lose the chain at critical moments.
An overstuffed team is slow to come and go, and the newcomers also selected Yan Xingchen, a rookie captain with zero experience, based on the captain selection criteria of "the strongest leader".
Those veteran teams who sensed that something was wrong, and some adventurers who kindly reminded you when they passed by but were not related to you, saw that you were not moving, so why would they continue to take care of them.
Accidentally, this group of low-strength student soldiers, who already relied on numbers, fell into a predicament.
The runaway herd put them in a difficult situation with low strength and lack of actual combat experience, and the more deadly ones were actually the assassins in the shadows.
"Hunting?"
"trap?"
"Cunning humans."
The intelligent monsters in the shadows are still hesitating whether the obviously lacking human beings in front of them are a bait.
These intelligent groups are often young, but they have extremely rich practical experience.
In addition, there are more than 20 people who are really scary here. They just observe for a while, but as time goes by, when they are sure that they are indeed a group of lost fur kids, the hunt will begin.
If there is a veteran in the student group, he will issue an order at this time, even if he leaves some trophies and companions behind, he must try his best to leave this too deep urban area.
The strength of the intelligent monsters and the newborn monsters is not at the same level. Finally, after another student soldier was injured and fell down, the herd shepherd in the shadows couldn't hold back anymore.
"Go to hell! Human!"
As soon as the roaring stone giant came out, it caused an earthquake in the entire area.
Like human professionals, intelligent monsters who enjoy "divine favor" not only have their own powerful physical templates, but also have acquired combat systems.
This is the territory of a powerful quasi-god and monster. The "Lord of Eternal Existence" is the target of pan-belief here, and the stone giant Shikai, who borrows divine power to hone his body, is far stronger than the same kind.
The underground palace was shaking crazily, perhaps not on a large scale, but it was enough to make these newbies fall off their feet.
And looking at these vegetable chickens, "Shi Kai" showed a humane smile.
It seems that this is not a trap, just some newly born cubs.
"Kill them."
And at this time, it was the petrified lizard "Stone Dragon Seven" hanging on the rock wall that issued the attack command.
Compared with ordinary petrified lizards, it is completely a monster. It is three times the size, and with the one-eyed red light, it just appeared to intimidate the student soldiers.
And judging from the knife marks on the other eye and the piercing hatred he looked at his prey, he probably has a deep relationship with humans.
Driven by the "shepherd", the herd became more active, and finally, the hunters in the shadows decided to eat the prey.
".Fresh flesh and blood."
"The chief's reward!"
"And the matrix, the expensive matrix, dedicated to the chief."
The ones who muttered were some short cavemen. Although they also possessed a certain amount of intelligence, they were definitely not the ones they could communicate with.
Borrowing the advantages of the same race and the privileges bestowed by the gods, the shepherds drove the cattle and sheep, preparing to besiege and kill the flesh and tribute delivered to the door.
".Run, run as many as you can!"
Finally, Captain Yan, who took the lead, issued the most correct order ever.
But at this time, a huge wolf beast has already blocked the gate of the upper floor.
It looked at the students with greed and desire. For them, this kind of prey was very rare and precious.
Captain Yan's decision this time was not wrong, but this untimely shout also directly led to the collapse of the team's morale.
When everyone tried to save their lives and escape, the original formation naturally disappeared, and some people were waiting to die in hysterical despair.
Seeing that the siege was about to be completed, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
".Passing by, don't get in the way."
A tall silver figure stepped into the twenty-first floor at this moment.
As soon as he stepped on the ground, there was a shock. The huge armor was definitely not a good one.
But the two heads in his hands were still dripping with blood.
"Stone Dragon Nine! Stone Dragon Eleven!" The howling intelligent lizard called out their names.
