Volume 19 Chapter 215 The Paradise of Insects

"Ziri? Why are you here again?" Seeing me appearing in his guild, the Gunslinger first teased me, and then asked jokingly: "You don't want me to help you capture the gods again, do you?"

When I heard the gun god's joke, I immediately said smoothly: "Don't tell me, I really made you guess right. "

"What?" The gunman was just joking with me, but I didn't expect that he actually got caught in his nonsense. "You, you, you...there's nothing wrong with your head, right? The Free Gods have lost several Gods recently and are mobilizing forces everywhere to find who is behind them. You actually want it again? You are not afraid of the Free Gods in China, but I am still We're in the United States! If something happens, you'll just run away. What should I do?"

"Look, it's just a few gods that scare you, aren't they?"

"How many? The Free God Clan has lost thirteen members this month. You still don't have enough?"

"What? Thirteen?"

Seeing such a big reaction, the gunman immediately realized something was wrong, so he asked tentatively: "Isn't it your people who did it?"

"I'm a little crazy, but I haven't lost my mind. I've attacked the Free Gods so many times just to make myself unhappy. We haven't attacked the Free Gods since the last few votes of information you gave us. Let’s start.”

After hearing my words, the gunman immediately frowned and asked, "Did you really not send anyone here?"

"Do I need to lie to you?"

"That means the eight protoss who disappeared recently have nothing to do with you?"

"Nonsense, of course it has nothing to do with me. But can you investigate who attacked the Free Gods?"

The Gunslinger lowered his head in thought and said: "Before, you asked me to find information for you to attack the Free Protoss. I always thought that you were responsible for the subsequent attacks, so I didn't investigate. Now it seems that those traces are not disguises. "

"Trace? What trace?"

"There were traces of battles in the places where the eight protoss disappeared. Judging from the traces, the attackers were not humanoid creatures."

"Isn't it a humanoid creature? Is it a wild monster?"

"It shouldn't be wild monsters. After all, it was the Protoss that was attacked. Although there are many powerful individuals in wild monsters, their distribution locations are fixed. I haven't heard of such powerful creatures existing in the areas that were attacked."

"It's not a wild monster, but it's so powerful. Could it be that it's a mission monster?"

Because the game "Zero" sets special tasks for each player, a special monster or other monster will often appear suddenly due to a certain player's task. However, because "Zero" is a comprehensive game that simulates the rules of the world, these monsters are generally unlikely to only come into contact with the task recipient after they appear. We are now suspecting that this creature is a special NPC. Maybe those protoss are just unlucky.

The gun god suddenly said: "If you are not in a hurry, just wait for me for a while. I will go to the forum to check if there is any other information. I always thought it was you who caused the attack, so I didn't pay much attention to it. Now it seems that I must Gathering information."

After I nodded, Gunslinger immediately started the forum browsing mode, and I also entered the forum and started browsing. Since the official forum of "Zero" is very intelligent, we quickly found the information we needed from the massive amount of information.

I retrieved a total of more than 300 pieces of information, from more than 200 players. Most of them said that they were attacked by powerful unknown creatures in the low-level monster area, and the area where they were attacked happened to be those eight gods. within the missing area. Excluding those unlucky ones who didn't even see the attackers, some of them discovered relatively comprehensive information. One of the guys saw that the attacker was a strange-looking humanoid creature, but there was no screenshot. He just described in words that this monster walked on two legs, but had three arms on its upper body and two heads.

After seeing this person’s post, I looked through other posts about monster sightings, but the content was very strange. The monsters these people see are almost different every time. Except for the descriptions of some of them, the monsters others see are always changing. However, based on their descriptions and the order of posting time, I quickly surmised a possibility, that is, this monster has been deforming, and it seems to have a fixed growth goal.

After I exited the forum with this information, Gunslinger just happened to come back with the information, but unlike me, he not only looked for the information himself, but also asked a group of subordinates to help search together, so he naturally got more information than I did. .

The two of us compared the information and finally came to the same conclusion. "Is this a mission NPC?" We both looked at each other and said in surprise.

The Gunslinger took a map and marked circles on it according to the time of the attack report, and then connected them with lines. Finally, he found that the attacker had been moving in one direction, and it had consciously avoided the city. I specifically searched for open areas that were easily discovered by the crowd and walked deep in the leveling areas.

"This is an intelligent NPC, and it has a clear goal." I looked at the map and analyzed.

The Gunslinger agreed with my analysis, and then he followed the crooked road map forward, and finally found a more likely target point.

Looking at the last coordinate point marked by the gun god on the map, I asked in confusion: "Where is this?"

"A place you will never want to go to after you know it." I looked at the gunman in confusion, and then waited for nearly half a minute before he continued: "The name here is-Insect Valley."

What is so scary about the Valley of Worms? You can tell from the name. The valley itself isn't the problem, it's the bugs. According to the Gunslinger's explanation, the Bug Valley is simply a museum of bugs. There are bugs in there. From giant beetles as big as hills to microscopic insects that are completely invisible unless they gather in swarms, almost any insect you imagine in your dreams can be found here in similar or even identical varieties. Except for a few people with special interests, this kind of place is simply a forbidden area for humans. Not to mention that 99% of these bugs are aggressive. Even if they all turn into immobile sculptures, normal people will never want to get close to them. Especially those pretty girls, for them this is the most dangerous, evil, and intolerable area in the entire game, bar none.

After talking about the situation in the Valley of Worms, the Gunslinger kept staring at me, and I looked at him in surprise and asked, "Do you think I'm going there to stop this creature that can only attack the Gods?" Bar?"

The Gunslinger asked back: "How dare you say that you have no meaning at all?"

"Even if there is, it's just a little bit. I won't enter the Valley of Insects. Although I have a pretty good tolerance for bugs, it's best not to touch them if possible."

"What if I ask you to go?"

I directly stretched out a hand towards him and said simply: "Fee."

Without saying anything, the Gunslinger took a gem as big as a super-sized apple from his portable space equipment and put it in my hand. "Natural colored diamonds, divine fire grade. As long as I offer it for five million, it will be snatched away in less than a minute."

"What's your purpose?" I asked while looking at the extra large colored diamond in my hand. The Gunslinger asked me to wait, and then ran out and walked around for a full ten minutes before running back with a pile of scrolls. I was stunned when I saw the pile of scrolls he was holding. "Hey, hey, hey...what do you mean? When did you become so generous? Just go to the Valley of the Insects and give me a top-quality colored diamond. After doing this for a long time, you are waiting here for me?"

The gunman deliberately pretended to be silly and innocent and said with a smile: "Anyway, you have to do one thing and two things at the same time. Why don't you just do it all at once to save yourself the trouble?"

"It saves you trouble, but I'm in big trouble." I said, rummaging through the pile of scrolls and said, "You must have thirty scrolls, right? Even if your colored diamond is auctioned, it will cost you at most Just 10 million, right? There are more than 30 tasks, and each task is only more than 300,000. You must be able to settle accounts."

The Gunslinger said unceremoniously: "Oh, you are not satisfied with getting more than 300,000 yuan for one mission? What's more, you still completed more than 30 missions in one place at the same time, which saved you a lot of things. , what else do you want? And ah. I asked you to do so many tasks at once, so I have to calculate the wholesale price anyway, right? Besides, you just want to stop that monster, so helping me with things is just a way of doing it, right? "

"Am I as exaggerated as you said? Okay, okay, for the sake of my regular customers, I will accept this task." I smiled and put away the gems, and then hugged the large bundle of scrolls. come over. "But then again, why do you have so many scrolls?"

"I'll take it." The God of War answered simply.

"Why did you collect this?" I asked curiously.

The God of War did not answer me directly, but pointed to the scroll and said, "You will understand after you look at it."

I piled the scrolls on the table next to me in confusion, and then waved my hand to summon a group of death guards to help me unfold all the scrolls and hold them in my hand so that I could read them one by one. These scrolls are all mission scrolls, and the contents without exception are all required to be completed in the Valley of the Insects, and many of the missions are to collect designated insects.

After reading the content on the scroll, I finally understood why the Gunslinger wanted to collect these mission scrolls. It turns out that the rewards given by these scrolls without exception are all random skill learning opportunities, and it is marked below that the random range is the player's specialty skills. This so-called random range of specialty skills means random skills based on the player's specialty. For example, if you have a random skill from a blood bull warrior, you will definitely get a skill that increases health and defense or increase melee attack. If you are a turret-type mage with a random skill, you will definitely get a high-power magic skill or an increase in melee attack. Auxiliary skills such as magic damage, in short, the randomly selected skills must be very useful. Although this skill is still random and there is a lot of uncertainty, at least it sets the scope in the aspect of the player's expertise. Even if it is not the skill you want, it will definitely not be useless. s things.

Because of this range limitation, this kind of random opportunity is very popular. As long as there is a task to obtain this kind of random opportunity, everyone will definitely rush to get it. But now, the Gunslinger can accumulate so many such scrolls in his hands, which only makes the Worm Valley even more terrifying. You think. Even such a popular scroll that specifically rewards random skills is no longer wanted because the mission is in the Valley of the Insects. How scary should this Valley of the Insects be?

After confirming the reason why the Gun God collected these scrolls, I shouted directly: "I want to add..."

"I'll give you three as a reward." Before I even finished calling the Gunslinger, I shouted out the benefits in advance. But if you think about it, you should know that everyone who sees this thing will want a piece of the pie. If I need to go to the Valley of Worms, others may give up for it. I am going to do the task anyway, so it is perfectly normal to pick up a few more scrolls by the way.

When I heard what the Gunslinger said, I said directly: "I'll pick first."

The Gunslinger nodded and said, "You go first."

It may not make sense for others to choose first and then later, but it is different for me to choose first. Because it is a task done by me, and the basic rule of tasks in "Zero" is that the more difficult the task is, the higher the risk, and the more troublesome the process, the more generous the reward will be. I do the tasks myself, and no one knows better than me which tasks are simple and which are complex. At that time, I just need to pick out the scrolls of the three tasks that caused me the most trouble. Needless to say, those will definitely be the tasks with the best rewards. Don't assume that just because the rewards are written on random skills, they all pay the same. Random skills actually have high and low levels. If you get a random chance from a complex task, you can usually get better skills. In comparison, the probability of getting a good skill from a simple task is much lower.

After finalizing the remuneration issue, I asked the Gun God to help me pay attention to the recent activities of the Free Gods. As for myself, I directly took the route map drawn by the Gun God to block the monster.

The main reason why I am so interested in this monster is because it attacked several Free Gods. A monster that can attack the gods means that this thing is either very powerful beyond imagination, or it has a way to restrain its divine power, or both. Regardless of which of these three scenarios it is, this monster is very important to us.

The Frost Rose Alliance is currently in the expansion period, which means that we will have conflicts with the gods of many countries. According to the system regulations, local gods cannot participate in the war during external expansion. In other words, when our guild expands externally, heaven will not be able to give us any apparent help. The only people we can rely on besides ourselves are the guild gods. However, compared to the attacker, the country being attacked has the opposite setting. Although the local protoss cannot participate in foreign aggression, they have the right to act in local defense. For example, when we attacked Japan before, in addition to dealing with Japanese players, we also had to contend with the Takamagahara Protoss headed by Amaterasu. This is because the Protoss are almost unrestricted in the local defense battle.

The strength of our guild determines that in the future we will be the only ones to invade other countries, and it is unlikely that players from other countries will invade our territory. And with the strength of Heavenly Court, if other countries really invade Chinese territory, it is estimated that Heavenly Court can drive all those people outside the national border even if we do not join the war. Therefore, what is most urgently needed for us at the moment is a way to fight the Protoss.

Our guild uses mobile angels as a solution to the protoss, but adding it is too exaggerated. It is enough to support local battles, but it is definitely not enough on the frontal battlefield. Although the guild gods are also a way to fight against the opponent's gods, everyone knows how difficult it is to develop the guild gods. Our guild's Chaos and Order God Clan is currently the only guild God Clan in the world. This shows how difficult it is to create a guild God Clan. Moreover, although our Chaos and Order God Clan has been established, its scale is only about this. . That is to say, the recent arrival of Hades and the others has begun to take shape. Before, it was basically those few protoss hanging around. The guild protoss was nothing more than an empty frame. Except for Wei Na, Xing Huo and Peacock, they were just a few. There are basically no people outside.

Except for the guild Protoss and the use of mobile angels against the Protoss, the number of players in our guild who can actually deal with the Protoss is currently too small, and except for Christina, True Red, and Gold Coin, even if others can fight against the Protoss, That's just a few fighting one by one, and you have to deal with the ordinary gods who are not very strong. If they encounter those well-known high-level protoss, these players will be useless.

It is precisely because it is so weak in its ability to fight against the gods that I am so interested in this creature that can only attack the gods. If I can catch it, find a way to fight against the gods in it, and popularize it, then we will no longer have to worry about the local gods in the invaded countries.

With expectations for this powerful creature, I kept urging the birds to speed up along the way, and soon we arrived near the Valley of the Insects.

In fact, the Valley of the Insects is not just a valley, it should be regarded as the general name of a large mountain forest. However, because the peaks in this area are very steep, it is basically impossible to stay on those mountains, so everyone calls this place the Insects. valley rather than a mountain of worms.

Unlike real forests, which often have no obvious transition areas, most areas in the game have clear boundaries. Like this Valley of Insects, when there are still dozens of kilometers away from the real valley, there are still plains below, but after continuing a few kilometers forward, you immediately see a tall mountain range. If you look down from a high altitude, you will find that this mountain range is almost a circle connected end to end, surrounding the entire Bug Valley in this screen-like mountain range. There are a total of seven openings in the entire mountain range, the widest of which is no more than 20 meters. The width of the mountain pass I am currently in is only a little over three meters, making it difficult for even a larger carriage to pass.

After arriving at the mountain pass, I was not in a hurry to go down, but first observed the structure of the entire valley. The ring-shaped valley outside is like an iron barrel that surrounds the entire Bug Valley. The peaks inside are also very narrow peaks, just like the city walls in a maze. A piece of the east and a piece of the west. Although the road doesn't seem very messy in the sky, that's because it's easy to get lost if you're in the mountains when you look at it from above.

In addition to the complicated internal results, I also found that the environment of this ghost place seemed different from the outside. The area where the Valley of Insects is located should be considered a temperate zone, surrounded by grassland and ordinary mixed forest of multiple tree species, but inside the valley is a cloud and mountain fog. Except for the mountain peaks, most of the area is covered by dense water vapor, and From the canopies that occasionally rise above the foggy environment, you can see that the plants here seem to be tropical rainforest plants. According to my estimation, there may be two reasons for such an environment. First, the ring-shaped mountains outside form an isolation barrier that isolates the environment in the valley from the outside. The second is that there must be a large geothermal area and abundant surface water in the valley. This water is heated by geothermal heat to form water vapor that covers the valley. At the same time, due to the protection of the ring-shaped mountains, the geothermal heat cannot diffuse and can only continuously heat the air inside the valley. The final result is that the temperature environment in the valley is heated from temperate zone to tropical zone.

After confirming the general environment in the valley, I landed at the mouth of the valley and started hiking into the valley. One characteristic of this monster gathering area in "Zero" is that you cannot fly directly into it from the sky. This doesn't mean that you can't fly in, but it means that you will be punished by the system if you enter in this way. You can fly directly over a leveling area, but don't land or fly too low, otherwise various accidents will happen, and the results will usually be bad. This is the experience that many players have summarized after failing countless times. It is best for most people not to try it.

Of course, with my strength, I don’t care about ordinary accidents, but why should I make myself miserable if I can have less trouble?

Before entering the valley, I first left a few ghost bugs at the valley entrance as my eyes to monitor the valley entrance for me. According to the distance on the map and the time difference between the attack and the incident, the moving speed of the monster can be roughly calculated. At this rate, it would take him more than ten hours to reach the Valley of Worms. I don't want to wait here for more than ten hours, so I plan to go in and finish the pile of quest scrolls first. But having said that, the Gunslinger really knows how to settle accounts! There are more than thirty scrolls, how long will it take to complete them all?

"Quick, quick, help me make statistics." I unfolded all the mission scrolls at the entrance of the valley and asked the death guards to help hold them. Then I called out the humanoid familiars to help me open the mission contents. Ling was holding a notebook to make statistics, and the others classified various types of tasks and reported them to Ling. Because there were many of us, it only took a short while to finish counting all the tasks.

Ling stood in front of me with a notebook and said: "According to statistics, what we need to do in this mission is as follows. First, we need to collect fifteen kinds of bugs. The names and quantities are here. Take a look for yourself and pay attention to them. There are several types that need to be alive, and one type must be a complete corpse that cannot be broken into pieces. In addition to these bugs, we also need to collect special parts of three plants, and also look for a special stone called cotton stone. In addition, we must kill nine kinds of bugs to obtain their special parts. The specific species, collection parts, and quantities are all written on the paper I just gave you. Finally, we need to find three caves here to obtain different treasures. And we also need to find two cemeteries and an abandoned laboratory, and the task is to find specific items in them.”

I frowned as I looked at the long list in my hand. "Why are there so many things?"

"There is no way, the content of the mission is these, if you miss one, you will lose one mission." Ling reported helplessly.

"Okay, you remember. The rest of you will go back to the training space first. Xiaofeng, Wang and Sayoko will stay. Oh, by the way, Ghost Lantern, you come out too."

I have long said that the biggest advantage of a beast tamer is that it can replace different familiars according to different environments to ensure that it can gain geographical advantages on any terrain. Of course, this premise is that you have to have so many magic pets to change for you. Fortunately, my magic pet happens to be adapted to this environment.

The king and Sayoko are soul creatures. The biggest feature of the Bug Valley is that there are so many bugs, and the undead are the least afraid of bugs. Anyway, the worst case scenario is that it will enter a state of nothingness. Although there are many bugs here, it is estimated that only a few bugs can attack the spirit body. So the two of them should be considered relatively invincible here.

In addition to the king and Sayoko, ghost lanterns are also very useful. Although I rarely summon him, the ability of Ghost Lantern is really useful here. Why are bugs scary? It's not because of how strong they are. No matter in reality or in the game, no insect is really so powerful that it can't be defeated. What people are really afraid of is the number of bugs rather than their individual strength. Although the ghost lantern is called a ghost lantern, it is actually a kind of monster rather than an undead spirit. He has no attack power and poor defense. His only ability is to transform any creature within three hundred meters around him into an undead creature that can be controlled by me at the moment of death.

Although there are many bugs, they can be killed after all. With the ghost lantern here, the more bugs I kill, the more undead bugs I can control. If this continues, it won't be long before I bring more bugs than there are live bugs here. What bugs should I be afraid of at that point?

In addition to the above three magic pets, Xiaofeng is my protective umbrella and strongest fighter here. No matter how strong a bug is, it is still a bug. If it encounters a fire phoenix whose whole body can turn into flames, what else is there to say? No matter how much you come, won't they all be burned to ashes?

In fact, in addition to the specialties of these few, the most important reason why I summoned them is that they are not afraid of poison. The characteristic of bugs is that most of them are poisonous, so people with low poison resistance will never survive in a place like this.

After preparing the entourage, I thought about it and released the rose vine and pioneer. I have the impression that bugs also like to dig holes underground. In order to prevent accidentally falling into the insect den, it is best to bring someone who can dig holes. As for other familiars, don’t summon them for the time being. There are too many people to command and they can easily be attacked. When you encounter a situation, you can decide who is best to call for help based on the situation.

He raised his hand and touched the evil dragon guard on his finger, and a purple mist that was slightly thinner than the white water vapor in the valley quickly spread. When these mist came into contact with the surrounding white water vapor, they immediately mixed together. The mixed mist not only did not lose their proper functions, but also extended the action time, which I had not thought of before.

After watching the fog of death spread around me, I officially stepped into the valley with my demon pets. The surrounding water vapor blocked my sight, so I simply used the fog of death to block the sight of the insects. Block it. Anyway, I can't see them very far, so don't expect to see them very far. It's only fair that everyone can't see them.

The Valley of Insects is indeed known as a paradise for insects. We had just entered the valley and walked less than a hundred meters when we saw a colorful spider as big as a crab hanging slowly from the tree trunk above our head. Come down. After seeing this thing, my demon pets immediately showed a reaction that surprised me.

"Ah...there are bugs!" Xiaofeng, who was originally expected to be a thug, actually hid behind me immediately, and Sayoko, who was supposed to be a scout, actually reacted the same way, but she hid behind the king.

"Damn it, did you two make a mistake? That thing is not even level 100. Do you think you should react so violently?" I said, then turned around and grabbed Xiaofeng and scolded him: "Especially you. You are afraid of a Phoenix. What kind of spider?"

Xiaofeng looked at me aggrievedly and said, "Are you just afraid? This has nothing to do with strength, okay?"

Sayoko also helped. "That's right! It's natural for girls to be afraid of bugs, and it has nothing to do with strength!"

"I..." I wanted to say a few more words to them, but now it seems that it won't be of much use. "Forget it, forget it! You two go back first! But if I encounter a bug that needs your help later, don't let me get in trouble."

Xiaofeng immediately said: "It should be no problem if we fight. At worst, we can just spray fire if we don't get close. It's just that the bugs that suddenly appeared are too scary!"

I couldn't help but stuff Xiaofeng and Sayoko back into the training space, and then called out the other magic pets and asked them one by one. The result made me a little depressed. As long as my humanoid pets are female, except Lingling, all of them are afraid of insects, even Ling is no exception. Fortunately, I didn't count on them, so it didn't have much impact.

Without Sayoko and Xiaofeng, we would be without pathfinders and main DPS, and we would have to find replacements. After thinking about it, I summoned a large group of Death Guards to replace Sayoko. Death Guards are magical creatures made of sand. They do not attract the interest of insects. Moreover, the biggest advantage of these guys is that they can be summoned in large numbers after they die. As long as a few more are released, it should be no problem to explore the path.

The scouts have solved it, but the damage output also needs to be figured out. If it were in reality, the thing that bugs are most afraid of is definitely sandworm agent. The problem is that no matter whether the bugs in the game are poisonous or not, they themselves are absolutely immune to poison, so poison is useless to them. In addition to poison, the only way to deal with insects that win by quantity is fire. Xiaofeng is afraid of bugs, so switch to Everett. As a constructed creature, Everett is not afraid of bugs at all. Moreover, he, the king of fire elves, is also a being of the flame system. It is absolutely useful to directly use two flame sprayers to exterminate insects. As for causing a fire or something, there's basically nothing to worry about. With the air humidity in the Valley of Worms, it's strange that those plants can burn.

After summoning Everett, I originally wanted to just leave. But thinking about it, it seems that Everett is not fully adapted to the environment here. In the end, I released the mine as the second output person to supplement Everett's lack of firepower.

Although Lei's electric current transmission ability is not very useful here, his electric enhancement is definitely suitable for exterminating insects. I haven’t seen electric flies being auctioned so well in real life?

After the staffing was completed, we started moving forward again, and the spider that had been hanging from the tree was still hanging there. This guy Lei might be curious, so he went over and 'touched' it. As a result, before his claws even touched the spider, he heard a snapping sound. An arc of electricity flashed between the tip of his claws and the spider, and then the spider It turned directly into a ball of charred black spiders and died.

Seeing this effect, I finally felt that bringing mine was a good choice. After passing the spider's corpse, we continued deeper into the forest. All kinds of low-level insect creatures were everywhere along the way. As long as you look at a random place and pay a little attention, you can immediately spot a few or a group of them. Bugs in disguise.

"Discover the mission target." We were walking smoothly in the forest, and suddenly we heard Ling's voice speaking through spiritual contact. Although he didn't come out, Ling kept in touch with us through spiritual contact. Because we have to always be on guard for sudden attacks by nearby bugs, we don’t have time to pay attention to tasks. Ling and other familiars who have not been released can just use our eyes in the training space to help pay attention to things mentioned in various tasks. .

I suddenly stopped when I heard Ling's reminder, and Ling also reminded me again: "At ten o'clock on the left front, pay attention to the fracture of the broken tree."

I quickly turned my head and said, "I saw a little red ladybug."

"Notice the spots on its back."

I quickly activated the magnification function of Star Pupil, and immediately pulled the image of the insect in the distance to my eyes and enlarged it ten times, so that I could clearly see the patterns on the insect's body. This dark red ladybug has a circle of golden wavy patterns on its back. There is also a black oval mark in the center of this circle of patterns, which looks like it grows on its back. Only eyes are the same.

After confirming the pattern, Ling immediately said: "This is the Golden Eyes and Red Armor mentioned in one of the missions. It is a level 30 creature and basically no threat. Hurry, we need three of these bugs to survive."

"Understood." I heard that it was only level 30, so I didn't take it seriously and walked over directly, and other demon pets followed me. However, just after the Death Guard in front of us also took a few steps in that direction, the insect suddenly opened the carapace on its back and flew up and quickly flew towards the dense forest behind.

"Holy shit, chase me quickly!"

Facts have proved that chasing a flying bug in a chaotic jungle is completely a form of self-abuse. We only chased it for less than five minutes before losing track of that guy. What’s even more abominable is that During the pursuit, a Death Guard was bitten to death by a cockroach-like insect that fell from a tree. Although the insect was quickly cut into pieces by the remaining Death Guards, the facts also proved that The Death Guard is really not suitable for activities in this kind of place. The golden headdresses on their bodies are too obvious in this dense forest. On the one hand, they can easily attract aggressive insects, and on the other hand, they can scare away those weak insects.

After learning my lesson, I could only collect all the death guards, and left the task of exploring the path to the candle bees and ghost bugs. Fortunately, I also have bugs to use, otherwise I would be in big trouble in this bug paradise.

Without the disturbing effect of the Death Guard, the number of low-level bugs we encountered increased significantly. Fortunately, it only took us less than five minutes to collect the corpses of two types of bugs, although it was different from what was required in the mission. There's still a slight gap in quantity, but at least it's open.

"Be careful, be careful, be gentle. The body of this bug is very fragile." After walking in the valley for half an hour, we found another bug that required the task, and only one bug of this bug could complete the task. The only troublesome thing is that these little purple grape-like bugs are very brittle and will explode if you shake your hands even slightly. Now I am directing the temporarily summoned little dragon girl to use gravity to lift the bug bit by bit, while I am holding a small metal box and preparing to catch the bug from below. This box is a special piece of equipment that comes with the mission. It is specially designed to contain this fragile little bug. As long as you put it in and don't smash the box, it will be fine no matter how hard you go.

Watching the round little thing gradually fall into the box, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. After closing the box, before I could say anything to Little Dragon Girl, I suddenly heard a scream from beside me, and then I saw Little Dragon Girl jump out more than ten meters away as if she had been electrocuted. There was an extremely disgusting-looking bug next to where he was standing just now.

This is a kind of bug that I don't know how to describe, because there is no similar image among common bugs. The middle part of this guy's body has an oval shape, which feels a bit like the chest structure of an ant. In front of this body is a flat triangular head. In front of the head is a pair of huge guillotine-like mouthparts, which seem to have a strong bite force. . Behind its chest is a long link-shaped tail. The entire tail is covered with short and thick black hair. It looks so disgusting and disgusting. At the end of the disgusting tail, there is a The long green poke indicates that this guy is poisonous. In addition, another very disgusting feature of this guy is that it has more legs, just like a centipede. Although not hundreds, there should still be twenty or thirty pairs.

In addition to this ugly appearance, this thing also has complex floral markings on its body. These dark red rust-like markings plus the black shading on their body look... It gives people a dirty feeling, which makes people feel very uncomfortable at first glance.

When I found this thing, it also let out a scream at me. The sound was very sharp and harsh, and the volume was not low. However, after calling, this guy didn't rush up to me, but turned around and ran away, which made me stunned.

Ling explained through telepathic contact in the training space: "Insect creatures usually do not challenge creatures that are much stronger than themselves when acting alone. They should be able to feel the breath on your body. You should have happened to pass by him before. He didn’t come here on his own initiative.”

I nodded and said, "Fortunately, these guys won't attack all the creatures they see crazily, otherwise it would be difficult for us to move here!"

Ling said: "Don't be too happy too early. This bug doesn't attack you because it's just one. If there are swarms of bugs, no matter how powerful the creature is, they will rush forward without fear." . Moreover, I find that there seems to be something wrong with your early warning system."

I had forgotten it at first, but I only remembered it after Ling said this. I have obviously sent out a large number of ghost bugs and candle bees, why are the bugs still getting close to me?

Before I could ask, Ling, the *** butler, explained first: "I guess your bugs didn't find the target, but ignored them as non-threatening existence. After all, compared to your Strength, the strength of a single insect is really weak, so they simply ignored these insects."

As soon as I heard this, I immediately said: "Then I will ask them to lower the alert target level."

Ling quickly interrupted me and said, "Wait a minute, you can't do that either."

"Why?"

"Because there are bugs everywhere here, once you lower the alert level, you will immediately receive a steady stream of alerts. When the time comes, your alert will sound like there is no warning."

"What should we do?"

"This is an environmental factor, and there is nothing I can do about it. But I suggest you put away those ghost bugs and candle wasps, and just send a few ghost bugs to fly far away to help you pay attention to large insect swarms and particularly powerful single bugs. . Leaving too many bugs around will not only have no effect, but will scare away many low-level bugs that we need to collect. The gain outweighs the loss!"

Thinking about it, I can only do it according to Ling's method. Why is the environment in this place so special?

After recovering most of the bugs according to Ling's method, we found that the speed of low-level bugs increased rapidly. I quickly collected more than half of the thirty-three task scrolls, and the remaining ones were relatively rare. Or elusive bugs. For example, there is a kind of bug called jumping bug. Its level is very low. But the problem is that it is too small, only as big as a one-yuan coin. Such a small thing, and its whole body was dark green. It jumped around in the bushes and disappeared. We have encountered at least a dozen of these bugs along the way, but so far we have not caught any. Fortunately, there are only three of them on the mission scroll. I plan to release the darts to help me catch the bugs next time I encounter them. With the darts' ability to move at the speed of light, I don't believe that the bugs can escape.

I was struggling to catch jumping insects when I suddenly heard a bang not far away, and then I saw a flash of light between the gaps in the trees in front of me, and then there was another loud bang.

"Is there someone practicing in a place like this?"
