Chapter 289: Marching Insects

As a result, as soon as Lin Xi finished speaking, the knight captain Karu looked at us and said, "Young adventurers, you look like you are doing nothing. In this case, can you accept a mission from the old man?"

"oh?"

Lin Xi's eyes widened, and she immediately turned around with a smile: "My lord, tell me, is there anything we need to do?"

"That's right."

The old knight commander's voice was very long, and he said in a deep voice: "Just a month ago, we sent a scout cavalry of about 300 people to the northern region to explore the situation of the lost Yingguang Town, which was originally the northern part of the empire. One of the most important towns in the city, under Yingguang Town, there is a stockpile of 200,000 stones of grain and grass that originally belonged to Linchen County, but it was captured by the Strange Demon Legion. Now, the scout cavalry has not heard back for a month. It's been taken by surprise."

As he said that, he looked at us deeply: "You are all adventurers with unique skills, can you go to Yingguang Town for the old man to find out, if you see the scout cavalry, help the old man to bring them back , okay? If you can defeat the strange demon army in Fluorescent Town, I have every right to give you higher honors and rewards."

For a moment, Lin Xi was so happy that her voice trembled: "My... my lord, we accept the task!"

...

"Ding!"

System prompt: Your team has accepted the mission [Flower Town] (ss)!

Mission content: Go to the northern important town of Fluorescent Town to rescue the trapped scout cavalry. In addition, destroy the enemies occupying Fluorescent Town and fight for the opportunity to transport food for the Imperial Legion. After completing the mission, you will get very generous rewards!

...

"Another SS-level mission!"

I held the Silver Sea Sword with a smile on my face: "Not bad~~~ It seems that we will have a bumper harvest in experience points, gold coins and reputation points today."

"Yes."

Lin Xi laughed and said, "And if you're lucky, there will be extra rewards, it's so exciting!"

I laughed: "Then... let's go? The coordinates of Yingguang Town have been marked on the mission map."

"Well, let's go!"

So, the team of five set off again, this time the goal was deeper than the Scarlet Ice Field. Yingguang Town is nearly half an hour away from our current border. It seems that the Xuanyuan Empire really lost its The city has lost too much land, and it can be said that it is retreating steadily. If it is not for the ruthlessness of the Eight Desolation Hou Linhuang, I am afraid that the national border will continue to move south. Soon the entire Far East province will be eaten by the Strange Demon Army. Even worse.

Along the way, we encountered ruined villages, which had been uninhabited for a long time, and the weeds were overgrown. Even the wells had completely dried up. There were even traces of battles left on the land. Soon after, We stood in front of a village. On the wall at the entrance of the village were rotting armors, swords and round shields. The former owners were long gone.

Lin Xi walked forward with her sword in hand, looked at the scene in front of her, frowned slightly, and said after a long time: "Once, in the version of "Destiny", there were at least Liushuang and Hanhuanglongcheng who guarded the northern border and became human races. A natural barrier has kept the strange demon army in the north, but it is different now, the cold and desolate dragon city has long since ceased to exist, and human beings can only rely on human princes like Bahuanghou to guard the northern region."

Shen Mingxuan said: "I'm afraid it won't last long."

I said indifferently: "Hou Bahuang and Lin Huang are already considered one of the fiercest among the twelve princes of the empire. If even he can't guard him, I'm afraid the loss of the Far East province will only happen sooner or later."

"There will be a turning point."

Lin Xi turned around and smiled at me, and said: "After all, after our level has risen, the secondary main city will be opened soon, and our next goal is the headquarters of the Far East Province, the secondary main city Wintersun City , if the Far East Province is lost, we may have nowhere to go."

"Um."

I nodded: "there are always more solutions than difficulties. There is hope if we don't give up."

"Yes."

She chuckled lightly: "Let's go, this place is very close to Fluorescent Town."

"Um!"

...

Passing through a wet and rotting jungle, when we came to the edge of the woodland, a small river suddenly appeared in front of us. The river was swift, but not very wide, at most twenty meters wide.

"It seems that we have to wade through the water." I said.

"Well, let's go."

A group of people got into the water one after another and swam through the water. When we reached the other side of the river, we saw a small town appearing in the dark woodland ahead. It was Yingguang Town, but there was no fluorescence in Yingguang Town , some are just the breath of death, and the whole town looks like it is polluted.

"rustle……"

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from the forest outside Yingguang Town, followed by a figure rushing out.

"Look, there's someone!" Tony pointed.

Everyone looked over together, and saw that the man was wearing soft armor, with the dragon-shaped emblem of the Xuanyuan Empire tattooed on his chest, holding a dagger in his hand, his boots were all lost, and he was galloping out barefoot, covered in blood Scars, blood stains!

"superior!"

I rode straight away and said, "It should be the scout cavalry mentioned in the mission!"

However, the moment I rushed over, the human soldier waved his hands frantically and shouted: "Don't come here! Go! Go! They are here, go!"

"what's the situation?"

I stopped and frowned, and didn't go any further, but at this moment, there was a "rustling" sound from the forest, and suddenly a fiery red covered the ground, just like that.

"Wh...what the hell?" Lin Xitan opened his mouth slightly and was stunned.

I suddenly opened the eye of Shifang Huolun, and immediately saw clearly that the blood-red ants covering the ground and chasing and killing the soldiers of the clans were ants the size of footballs, and they were crawling ferociously and fast at this time, and there was even a An ant was lying on the soldier's shoulder, frantically gnawing at his armor, trying to bite through the shoulder armor.

In the next second, Lin Xi also saw the monster's attributes clearly, and directly shared it on the team channel——

[March Bug] (rare monster)

Grade: 82

Attack: 6600-8250

Defense: 3500

Vitality: 200000

Skills: [Eating] [Venom Attack] [Crown Brainstorming]

Introduction: Marching insects, ant colonies from purgatory, these ant colonies have extremely powerful reproductive capabilities, they obey the orders of the strange demon army, and launched attacks on human territories time and time again. Most of the human villages and towns perished. It's all thanks to these army bugs, they devour everything and anything can be food

...

"I go……"

Tony was shocked: "There are so many rare monsters, what should we do? If they swarm up, we will have no chance at all."

"Yes."

I hurriedly turned around: "Lin Xi, let's retreat!?"

"Um!"

Lin Xi nodded quickly: "Back back and fight against the water. Since these marching insects belong to the ant colony, the water does not belong to their world. The reason why the ant colony of strange demons can't continue to move south is probably behind us." The credit of this river, hurry up, let's retreat into the river and find a way to kill them!"

"Well, I thought so too!"

I pulled the reins directly, rode my horse and rushed to the front of the human soldier, chopped off the marching bug on his shoulder with a sword, and said, "You go first, I will be in the rear."

"Be careful, young man!"

With gratitude in his eyes, he quickly rushed towards Lin Xi and the others, while I faced the marching insects invading in front of me with a sword of holy storm. With a sound of "boom", the holy storm swept across the monster group, causing 3w+ It has to be said that the attributes of the marching insects are too weak, the defense is low, and the blood volume is at the level of blue or even green monsters. It is very easy to kill, but there are so many of them, once they are surrounded, they may not be able to escape.

Turn around and run!

I ran all the way into the river, and when I turned around again, a large number of marching insects came overwhelmingly, but when they approached the turbulent water, they stopped moving one after another, and their blood-red tentacles swayed up and down, as if they had a natural affinity for water. of fear.

"Attack, hit with AOE skills!"

As soon as Lin Xi gave an order, he rushed forward and swept out the blade storm skill. With a loud "Peng", countless marching insects were swept into the sky in the blade storm, and more than half of the blood bars disappeared in an instant. The damage of the storm was too high, more than 100,000 in total, and Gu Ruyi's flame vortex had finished harvesting. On the flame scar after the flame vortex raged, a large number of residual blood marching insects fell to the ground, and our The experience value soared "swish, swish, swish"!

That's right, the marching insect has little blood and low defense, but it is a genuine level 82 rare monster! As long as you use the terrain to contain them, you can gain experience infinitely, and it is an absolute experience beast. Just like before you, this blood-red marching insect has spread for nearly a mile or two. If you kill them all, you will definitely earn a lot of blood. Wave experience value!

"This experience value... is too cool, right?!"

Shen Mingxuan smiled into a crescent moon with his beautiful eyes, raised his orange bow, and shot out the skill of Frost Arrow Rain in a "smack", which is also the AOE skill of a sharpshooter. Strands of frost arrows fell from the sky, hitting the marching insects in a large area Cause excess damage, and then cooperate with Lin Xi and Gu Ruyi's AOE damage, and finally complete the harvest of experience points.

This time, the battle by the river has become Gu Ruyi and Shen Mingxuan's home game. Although Lin Xi's Blade Storm is strong, it has a cooldown of 25 seconds after all, while Gu Ruyi and Shen Mingxuan's skills of Flame Vortex and Frozen Arrow Rain It can be fired in bursts, constantly wreaking havoc in the monster group, and harvesting a lot of experience. For a while, Lin Xi, Tony, and I couldn't close our mouths with laughter.

Monsters like marching insects are simply an extreme. You can either win or lose. If our team hadn't retreated decisively just now, it might have been surrounded, and eventually all of them were killed by the marching insects. Next, even if it's me, I'm not sure if I can stop it. The size of the marching insects is small, and the collision volume is also small. As long as I am surrounded, basically at least dozens of marching insects can attack me, no matter how defensive I am. It can't be stopped even if it's high, after all, people have less blood to prevent low, but the attack is not low!
