Chapter 420: An Unsolvable Level?
The island in front of you is obviously not as simple as imagined. The multiple powerful energy fluctuations represent multiple powerful creatures. In the game, those with powerful ability fluctuations are usually bosses or level-type NPCs. In short, it is you. An existence that must be fought. Under such circumstances, if this task can still be performed very simply, then there is definitely something wrong with our task process. Therefore, if nothing else happens, we will definitely encounter a powerful boss guarding the level in the future. This time, thanks to the fact that these children came with me, if it were someone else, it might be okay to complete the mission, but it would definitely be impossible to complete the mission safely with so many of them.
"President, my canary has arrived on the island." Kristina said suddenly.
I glanced at Kristina and said, "Send out a large-scale search to see if we can find any useful clues?"
"Okay." Kristina had read the mission scroll before and knew the map and so on, so she had no doubts about the route forward, so she immediately began to control the canary and start exploring the island ahead. Possibly hazardous situation.
Although Kristina's canary has already arrived on the island, we still have to approach the island cautiously, because canaries can fly and are very small, even if there are some large monsters hidden under the sea. It would not launch an attack on such a small target, just like an ambush lion would not suddenly rush out of the grass just because a mouse passed by. Canary detection is okay, but thunder detection is not. A monster with a sufficient level would simply not attack such a small target.
Although we had been approaching the island slowly and with utmost caution for safety reasons, what surprised me was that we actually landed on the island unscathed. After passing through the barrier over there, I sensed at least three waves of large creatures approaching our spacecraft on the way to the island. But for some unknown reason, these creatures seemed to have not noticed us and jumped directly from the spacecraft. They swam below or in nearby areas, but did not launch any attacks.
I really don’t know how to explain this weird situation, but it’s a good thing that I wasn’t attacked. So I didn’t dwell on this and took everyone to get off the spaceship in the shallow sea area.
Although the spacecraft can fly and theoretically can send us directly to the island, the island itself has a very high vegetation coverage and there is no place where the spacecraft can land. As for the hovering aircraft... Considering that most of the children here are not high-level, and they are basically majoring in the auxiliary department, only a few older children are slightly better in terms of combat ability. So we still adopted a relatively simple method and jumped directly in the shallow sea area. Then wade ashore.
Although we were not sent directly to the island, the captain had tried to get the spaceship as close to the coast as possible, so the depth where we launched was only a little over a foot, and there was a large group of rocks not far ahead. The road conditions here are a little more complicated, but people can still walk there relatively easily.
Considering that the children's athletic ability is not very good, I asked Kristina to directly add wind-based auxiliary magic-Light Spirit to everyone. The effect of this spell is to reduce half of the body weight and does not produce any other effects. Although the function is simple, it is very practical. Because the weight is reduced, jumping and other things will become very easy. And even if you fall, your fall will be lighter than normal due to your reduced weight. More importantly, this magic can make everyone move faster and improve the speed of instant reaction when encountering danger.
Under the influence of light magic, we quickly logged into the edge of the island, but there was no beach here. Probably due to the effect of travel programs, when many people think of the seaside, they will immediately create a scene of a sunny beach in their minds. In fact, not all coastlines have beaches. In addition to beaches, the coastline also has many types of rocks, cliffs, swamps, etc. In fact, the length of the coastline occupied by beaches is actually shorter than the length occupied by complex mixed terrain.
The coastline of the island in front of me is a relatively messy rocky area. After passing through this rocky area, it is not a beach, but a gravel ground similar to the one next door. The particles of this kind of gravel are very large, generally the size of quail eggs or chicken eggs. The shape is not rounded like pebbles, but angular, and some are very sharp. It is actually very dangerous to walk on this kind of ground. Of course, that is in reality, but in the game there are not so many problems.
After passing through this beach composed of gravel ground, you officially enter the forest area on the island. However, the plants on this island are a little strange. They are not the kind of palm trees that are common in tropical areas, nor are they the kind of trees that can be seen on land. Instead, there are some large trees with very strange shapes.
The bottom of these big trees is not a thick trunk, but dozens of branches ranging from the thickness of a bucket to the thickness of a wrist. They first independently grow upwards to more than one meter high, and then begin to converge towards the center point, and During the gathering process, they were constantly entangled and entangled, and finally formed a strong trunk. The position where this main trunk is formed is actually more than two meters above the ground, and the length of the main trunk above is generally only three or four meters high, and then upward is the huge tree crown.
The overall feeling of this kind of tree is that an ordinary big tree has been forcibly pulled up from the ground by more than two meters, and as a result, a section of the roots originally buried in the soil have been pulled out. Of course, because these structures that may be tree roots are actually very strong and numerous, even if they extend one or two meters above the ground, they can still stably support the main trunk and crown part above.
In fact, plants with this structure are very suitable for the island environment. It is very common for hurricanes and tsunamis to occur on the island. No matter how strong the wind is, as long as the trunk is strong enough, or like a palm tree, the crown can be swayed left and right to reduce the possibility of the trunk being directly impacted and broken. Too big a problem. However, the wind can be resisted, but the waves are troublesome. The resistance of water is much greater than that of air, so even large trees that can block hurricanes cannot withstand the erosion of tsunamis. However, this kind of tree may not be able to withstand the tsunami, because its bottom root part is a densely packed structure. This structure can firmly grasp the ground on the one hand, and ensure the smooth flow of sea water on the other hand. Pass through the location of the tree trunk without creating an overly powerful impact. What's more important is that the branches that are separated are unlikely to all break at the same time, so even if the big tree is knocked down by the waves. As long as there are still tree roots connected to the ground, it will not die easily and can continue to grow.
Although this kind of big tree with a strange structure looks weird, it is just a product of evolution that adapts to the natural environment. However, this thing has caused a lot of trouble for us to move forward.
There are probably no large creatures on this island that come to the seaside, so the roots of these big trees have actually grown intertwined with each other, forming a dense fence like a wooden fence. You want to get through between these tree roots. You have to have the body shape and flexibility of a cat to do it, and we obviously can't have that kind of body shape. So what we can do is the most primitive method - use a machete to open the way. However, in the ordinary primitive forest, there are just some trees and vines blocking the route, but here there are tree roots, and some tree roots can grow to be thicker than a human waist. This kind of tree root is basically not much different from the trunk. It is actually very difficult to cut off the roots of this tree and move forward. Moreover, these tree roots are not like those dry firewood. They are part of the plant. They have a lot of water in themselves, so they are very tough. An ordinary machete can't do anything with them. Fortunately, I was in the team this time. In the face of eternity, these tree roots are basically noodles. Just cut it off with a single cut.
However, although eternity is sharp enough, our progress will not be greatly hindered, but the problem is that in a place like this, while cutting trees and moving forward, our sense of direction quickly disappears. Basically, we can be sure that we are no longer advancing towards the center of the island in the previous direction after walking less than 200 meters, because we can clearly see that the route behind us is not a straight line. If we walk in a straight line, we should be able to see the seaside all the way through the passage. But now when I look back, I can barely see anything except more tree roots.
"Will you get lost if you continue walking like this?" Kristina walked to me carefully and asked.
I looked ahead. Due to the obstruction of tree roots, the visible range was no more than ten meters.
"I knew I should have brought Persephone with me!" I sighed dejectedly. In this environment full of plants, Persephone can definitely make you feel as relaxed as an outing, because as long as Persephone is there, the forest is your friend.
"It's a pity that it's too late to call her now, right?" Kristina asked.
I thought for a moment and said, "If that doesn't work, let's use a magic beacon to clear the way."
"Would this anger the dragon on the island?"
"I don't know about that. Forget it. You'd better stop using magic. We'll just use stupid methods."
What I call a stupid method is actually to use a large number of people to open up a relatively wide straight road, so that you can see the sea behind you at any time and adjust the direction of travel. However, this method only helped us advance less than 500 meters before it lost its effect, because a huge stone wall actually appeared in front of us.
This stone wall looks like someone is taking a rest frequently, because there is not even a vine on the wall. On this kind of building built in the forest, as long as no one cleans it. Within two months it will be absolutely covered with all kinds of plants. However, this stone wall not only looks as clean as new, but there are actually many shining magic arrays shining brightly and dimly on the stone wall. This shows that this stone wall is not only maintained by people, but also has sufficient energy replenishment. , otherwise, there would be so many magic arrays on such a large area of defense wall, and its energy consumption would definitely be terrifying. If there is no one to manage this magic array system, relying solely on the energy-absorbing magic array to absorb the energy floating in the space is definitely not enough to support such a large magic array.
"Can you tell what type of magic circle it is?" I asked, looking at the magic circle shining on the wall.
Kristina carefully looked at the magic circle in front of her, then waved her hand and used a wind blade to widen the passages on both sides by more than ten meters, so that she could see more of the magic circle structure.
After carefully observing the magic array patterns on both sides, Kristina just thought for a moment and said: "It should be an energy isolation barrier. The effect is similar to the forbidden magic field, but the driving method is different."
"Forbidden demon?" I muttered to myself, and then looked at the wall again. I was thinking whether to go over directly or look for the entrance, when I suddenly saw a seven or eight-year-old child stretching out his hand. Going to touch that wall. This situation shocked me. He quickly rushed over and shouted: "Don't touch it!"
Unfortunately, because there were Kristina and several other children in the middle, I couldn't rush to that child at once, and the child didn't stop immediately when he heard my words, but While turning his head to look at me, he continued to unconsciously reach out to the wall, and touched the wall first before I rushed in front of him.
"Buzz..." The moment the child touched the wall, I felt a low and loud sound like a ship's whistle exploding in my mind. And I'm sure the sound came directly from my head, because my ears didn't actually hear anything. but. At the same time that weird sound appeared, the originally dead forest suddenly came to life. First, there was the sound of birds flying into the sky behind the wall not far away, accompanied by the roar of unknown beasts. After that, I seemed to hear some strange rustling sounds. It felt like many roots. The sound of thin bamboo poles hitting each other is the same.
"I..." The child who hit the wall obviously knew that he was in trouble and hurriedly wanted to explain, but I jumped behind him and covered his mouth. The child wanted to struggle at first, but after seeing that my attention was no longer on him, he understood that I didn't want to do anything to him, so he immediately calmed down.
I felt the child in my hand give up the struggle. I just lowered my head and gave him a look, and when I saw him looking up at me, I quickly put my finger to my mouth to make a silent gesture, and then carefully walked to the wall and listened.
In fact, I just heard a little noise occasionally, but the people around me stopped after what I just did, so the sound suddenly became clear. This time all of us could clearly hear the sound of thin bamboo poles rubbing and colliding with each other, accompanied by bursts of chirping sounds. It felt like a lot of things were approaching us, because the sound clearly didn't come from one or two creatures.
After confirming the sound, I immediately turned around and silenced everyone, then summoned Emenes and used my mind connection to inform her to add camouflage to all of us. Almost as soon as our camouflage was completed, an ugly big head suddenly appeared on the top of the wall in front of us.
The shape of this head is like a shelled sunflower seed, and there is a mouthpart composed of four scissor-like fangs at the tip of the kernel, and it also grows on the head, which is larger than a pig's head. With two black eyes at least as big as a palm.
This big head has a shiny black carapace on the surface. There are two long tentacles on the top of the head. In addition to the fierce shape of the mouthparts, it can basically be said to be a bit like the head structure of an ant. But even if it wasn't an ant, it was definitely an arthropod.
The creature on the wall did not come down immediately after appearing. Instead, it shook its head from side to side as if to observe the situation. At the same time, the two tentacles on its head were also swinging from side to side, apparently collecting the confidence of the smell in the air. But this simple detection ability is of no use to us. The illusion of Amynis has evolved, and now not only optical illusions, but also smells and energy fluctuations can be hidden. Of course, this kind of hiding has its limits. It will be more difficult to hide a target with too high energy, and if the opponent's detection ability is strong, this disguise will also be seen through. However, the creature with a head that looked a bit like an ant in front of me was probably not a powerful creature, so I wasn’t too worried.
Unlike me, the children were all very nervous now. Although Kristina and I told them not to move or make any noise, the children could not help but tremble. They had almost never carried out any decent missions, so they were very afraid of the ugly and ferocious monster in front of them. At the same time, they were also worried about the reason why I didn't let them move. This is not because they have no confidence in me, but because of human instinct. After all, although Amynis' illusion ability is very perfect, the problem is that the covered target has no feelings. In other words, although there is nothing here in the eyes of the monster opposite, we ourselves can clearly see ourselves and other people around us who are also disguised. It's like you suddenly gained invisibility, but there is no way to become invisible with your clothes. At this time, you have to take off your clothes and walk around on the street. Although others can't see you at all, you can see your own body. In this case, most people will unconsciously want to cover their vital parts, because although reason tells you that others can't see you, But instinctively, you will think that you are actually standing naked on the road, and the tension in your heart will not disappear in a short time no matter what.
This is the case with today's children. Although they knew that I must have used some skill to make them invisible. But the problem is that they can’t see the effect themselves! In their eyes, everyone is standing directly in front of the monster, so it is inevitable that they will be worried and scared.
A child's psychological endurance obviously cannot be measured according to adult standards. Even though these are orphans and have experienced a much more complicated life environment than children with parents, they are still children. So, just when the monster seemed ready to give up the investigation and return behind the wall, there was a younger girl. He suddenly turned around and ran away. It wouldn't be a big deal if it was just a simple escape. Amynis's illusion didn't mean that he would betray the gang if he moved, but the key point was that the child not only turned around and ran away, but also started crying.
Maybe it’s because I don’t like the environment in the game yet. The team leader's mother had no sense of being on task at all. As soon as she heard the child's cry, she instinctively chased after her while calling the child's name.
Although Amynis's camouflage technique is relatively powerful, no matter how powerful the camouflage technique is, it is not so perverted that we can hold a singing and dancing party in front of the monster without being discovered. Therefore, the monster that was about to retreat suddenly suddenly He aimed his head at the kid running in front.
Buzz... I originally thought the monster would jump off the wall and chase after it. But what we didn't expect was that after locking the target, the monster first made a sound like a bomber taking off, and then flew out directly from behind the wall.
As the creature completely left the wall, we finally got a clear look at the shape of the thing. In fact, the shape of this creature does not look like an ant, but closer to a wasp. It also has a carapace on its body, but it doesn't look as exaggerated as its head. There are eight jointed limbs under the body. But only six of them seem to be used for walking. The first two have evolved into a structure similar to a mantis' sickle, but the proportion is not that big and is slightly smaller. In addition, there are four thin transparent wings on the back of this thing. These wings vibrate very fast, so you can't see the specific appearance at all. Only a large waving white shadow can be seen, but you can roughly know that this guy's wings are not very big.
There is a stinger at the end of this monster's abdomen like a wasp, and the color of this stinger is actually bright red. With such a bright warning color, any fool knows that this thing is definitely poisonous.
Although the shape is rather strange, the overall size of this creature is only as big as an adult wild boar. Of course, this is only the external size, because the body of this thing is not as fat as a pig, so the actual weight is definitely not as high as a wild boar. It can grow to several hundred kilograms. However, I conservatively estimate that this thing must weigh at least one hundred kilograms.
Flying insects of this size are of course very dangerous, but as monsters in the game, insects of this size can only be regarded as cannon fodder, not even miscellaneous soldiers. However, bugs rarely move alone, so...
Half drunk, there was a low-altitude roar of bombers, and suddenly a dense swarm of these creatures flew out from behind the four- to five-meter-high wall, and it was unclear how many were behind it. Anyway, it took a blink of an eye. Thousands of them have appeared near us.
"Holy crap! Kristina, use your ultimate move! Clear the field!"
"Frost - Nova." After a not too loud explosion, a blue shock wave spread out, instantly knocking down all the bugs around us. Those bugs that were still flying turned into The ice sculpture immediately shattered into pieces all over the ground after it hit the ground.
Such a terrifying field control skill requires a little preparation for ordinary players, but Kristina comes easily. But... "Damn it, I know bugs are not easy to deal with!"
Just after Kristina cleared away thousands of bugs with a magic spell, hundreds of new bugs immediately appeared on the wall, and then more bugs roared in, quickly rushing towards the wall and pressing towards us. .
"You hold on here, I'll go check out the situation." After shouting to Kristina, I turned around and threw the child in front of me to the older child behind me, and then jumped onto the wall myself. As soon as his feet touched the wall of the wall, he immediately felt the magic power flowing into the wall like water in a perforated kettle. It is clear. This wall can absorb the magic of anyone who comes into contact with it, so the magic in me will drain quickly. But I am not without resistance. I opened my wings and flew straight away, and the suction force disappeared immediately.
It seems that you have escaped the absorption of the wall, but as soon as you got up on my side, you immediately saw a large group of strange insects flying towards me, and they rushed towards me in an instant. Seeing this, a circle of purple flames popped up on my body. Any insect that comes close to a certain range is immediately ignited and then falls directly into the sea of insects below.
That's right. It's the Sea of Insects. Behind this wall, which was only four or five meters high, was a huge trench that was unknown how deep it was but more than five hundred meters wide. Now this trench is densely packed with bugs, and they are rolling and apparently planning to crawl out from below to attack us. However, because there were too many bugs, the bugs blocked each other for a while, and only the bugs on the top edge could fly. However, even though it seems that most of the bugs are hindered, there are still a lot of bugs flying. After all, where is the base number of bugs? Even if most of them failed to fly due to crowding, even those bugs that happened to be lucky enough to fly easily exceeded 10,000 in number.
Such a terrifying scene was thanks to the wall, otherwise the children over there would have been frightened to death. It is true that some children are not afraid of bugs, but more children are still afraid of bugs. The hundreds of millions of insects in front of me made my scalp numb just looking at it. If those children saw it, they would definitely have nightmares at night.
Although the number of bugs here is a bit scary, I'm not that scared. After all, no matter how many there are, they are still bugs, as long as they are all crushed to death, it will be fine.
"Xiao Feng, Ling, Lilith, go clean up."
As my order was issued, three figures appeared next to me one after another, and then Ling hovered near me, while the other two figures plunged directly into the sea of insects.
Xiaofeng is a fire phoenix. So she doesn't need to fight, she just needs to run back and forth a few times in the sea of insects. Any bug that comes within five meters of her will be scorched immediately, without exception, so she only needs to repeatedly run back and forth among the bugs to cause heavy casualties to the bugs.
Compared to Xiaofeng, Lilith's ability is obviously more suitable for this kind of thing. After entering the sea of insects, Lilith turned into a large ball of flesh and then flew away. All insects that came into contact were immediately assimilated. Then more tendons emerged from the body to connect to other bugs, and the skin continued to split like a viral infection. Soon a huge bug ball was formed, and it was still wriggling and spreading around. Bugs will be eaten immediately if they get even a little bit on them.
As a mage, Ling's fighting style was of course not comparable to the previous two, so she opened a black hole directly above the swarm of insects, and then sucked it back and forth along the large ditch in front of her like a vacuum cleaner. The insects below could not resist this at all. This powerful gravitational force forced them to be sucked off the ground one after another, and then formed a black torrent and rushed towards the black hole over there. In the blink of an eye, they all disappeared into the black hole, but because more bugs were being sucked up one after another, Therefore, this black torrent not only has no intention of disappearing, but is getting stronger and stronger.
Although my three magic pets here are almost clearing away the bugs at a wonderful speed of thousands, there are not a few bugs below. On the contrary, there are bugs on both sides of this big ditch that have not been taken care of. Gradually they left the ditch and began to encircle us.
"Holy shit, isn't this too scary?" I don't know when Kristina arrived at my side. Of course, she also saw the surrounding situation. Although these bugs do not pose any deterrent to us, and we can still complete the task even if we ignore them, the problem is that children cannot!
"Do you have any tricks to quickly get rid of these bugs?"
"It's no problem to clear these outside, but who knows how many are under those big ditches?" Kristina said with some embarrassment.
Of course I know what Kristina is worried about, but if we don’t clean up these bugs nearby quickly, the children below will be in danger. "You clean up this side first, and I'll figure out a solution in the ditch over there."
"That's all we can do now." After Kristina said that, she flew directly back to the sky above the children, and then began to use a magic that I had never seen before. The effect of this kind of magic is very strange, and no actual light and shadow can be seen. I can only feel that the surrounding air is vibrating, and the people I see are blurry, and the images are trembling, but other than that, I can neither see fire nor explosion, nor hear any sound. However, in this strange state, the nearby insects suddenly and inexplicably decomposed into countless pieces, as if a professional butcher had specially cut the muscles and internal organs of the insects according to a certain classification method. The classification is the same. In an instant the bug was broken down into parts. Moreover, this situation does not appear one by one. Instead, as long as the insect approaches a certain distance, it will automatically become like this.
After finishing this magic, Kristina actually broke away from the children and flew to my side, and then said proudly: "How is it? Is this magic of mine powerful? It is specially used to clean up miscellaneous soldiers, and the effect is extraordinary. It’s good, not only does the magic power consumption not be high, but after the use is completed, the magician will have nothing to do. Even if you leave this place, the magic will operate autonomously until the magic power is exhausted.”
"Is your magic working on its own now?"
Kristina nodded and said: "But I only have enough magic power to last for ten minutes. If you can't handle it, I can go back and add some more magic power. In theory, with my magic power recovery speed, I can maintain it forever. But that way If so, I won’t be able to do anything.”
I nodded and said, "No problem, just help me keep an eye on the children so nothing happens. I'll go see if those bugs are really endless."
There are actually many ways to deal with these bugs. What these guys hate most is not their combat power but their numbers, so single-on-one or even small-scale group killing skills are useless. The only way to deal with these guys is with super large-scale killing skills, and these skills are usually either forbidden spells or super moves, so it is very troublesome to release them. Of course I don't want to go directly to the ultimate move now. But I want to see if the big ditch here is really like a bottomless pit full of bugs. Of course, to do this, you have to dive into the bottom of the ditch first, and this place seems to be completely filled with bugs, and most people really can't get down there. However, this is not a problem for me because I still have a mage mode.
Switch yourself to the mage mode inherited from the trumpet Silver Moon, and immediately activate the Sun Realm. Then I plunged into the sea of insects below. With the high temperature on the surface of the sun, these bugs were directly vaporized from a long distance away, not to mention rushing in. So as soon as I completed the transformation, the surrounding ground seemed to suddenly turn into a steamer, and everything Everything was smoking, and the nearby trees were on fire within seconds. This is because the solar field has the ability to restrain. The high temperature can be restrained within a certain range. If the temperature around me is completely released, it will not only burn the trees. Based on the temperature of the sun, it is estimated that a layer of tens of meters will be evaporated from the surrounding ground within a few seconds. After all, everything will turn into gas at that temperature.
Although the power of the sun field is huge, this skill cannot last too long, after all, it consumes too much magic power. So after I completed my transformation, I immediately started to dive downwards. But what I didn't expect was that after I had dived down the big ditch for fifty meters, I still didn't touch the ground. I gritted my teeth and continued downward. It wasn't until I was more than 200 meters underground that I finally discovered the ground. At this time, I could no longer see the sky at all. There are bugs everywhere, it's a world of bugs.
Seeing the dense insects around me constantly coming in and being evaporated, I felt like my head was starting to hurt again. The number of these bugs is truly astonishing. If the location I dived into is not a special case, but the entire trench is this deep, that means that this trench that is 20 meters wide, 200 meters deep and I don’t know how long is full of insects. The number of these bugs has really become astronomical. With such a terrifying number, let alone using the ultimate move, even if Essinger Mobile Fortress comes, it is estimated that they will not be able to defeat them without destroying the city and bombarding them three or five times. .
"Which cheating guy received this damn mission!" Helplessly, I glanced at the nearby insects again. I summoned Lingling directly at the bottom of the insect sea, and then used the combination skill to directly let Lingling move from this position. Fires the Holy Sword Judgment forward.
Lingling is the Holy Sword Angel. Originally a member of the Temple of Light, she could absorb light energy and convert it into her own power. I am now in the sun domain state, so I am equivalent to a little sun. When she stands next to me, it is equivalent to connecting to the external power supply. So wow, Lingling's Holy Sword Judgment directly entered the max state, and she waved continuously in one breath. Three swords came out.
Kristina on the ground is intercepting the bugs flying towards her. Suddenly, I saw insects rolling and surging in the big ditch ahead, as if something had passed through the small side of the insect sea. And it seemed that she also saw light flashing below the insect sea. However, this situation came and went just as quickly, disappearing in just over a second. However, this situation did not end immediately. Instead, it happened a second time and a third time. After two consecutive flashes, Kristina found that the sea of insects in front of her had collapsed a lot. It felt like this was For the first time, I saw a significant decrease in the sea of insects.
Even with my external power supply, Lingling was exhausted from performing three ultimate moves in a row, and was eventually sent back to the training space to rest. As for myself, I quickly passed through the thick sea of insects and flew to the ground.
"President, what did you do down there just now? I saw that the sea of insects suddenly disappeared a lot!"
"I just used a few big moves, but they seem to be a drop in the bucket!" I said while looking at the large ditch that was gradually rising in front of me. Although Lingling's ultimate move just killed millions or even tens of millions of bugs, the problem is that the bugs around are still being replenished. At this speed, we simply can't kill them all.
Kristina obviously also realized that our killing method would not have much effect at all. On the surface, tens of millions of bugs were killed, but it did not hurt the overall number of bugs at all. No loss of itch, this case wants to really get rid of these bugs. Unless we spend several days and nights here with them, it is possible. But the problem is that it is impossible for us to really spend several days and nights here with them!
"President."
"Huh?" Hearing Kristina's voice, I turned to look at her in confusion. It was obvious that she had something to say. "Have you thought of anything?"
"I think we may have missed something." Kristina said.
"What did you miss?" I asked doubtfully.
Kristina explained: "It is clearly written on the mission scroll. Although the difficulty of this mission is high, it is only A-level. There should not be such a level that takes us days and nights to complete, so. This The levels either don’t need to be passed, or there are other ways to easily pass them, instead of killing all the bugs first as we thought.”
Because I had been fighting all the time, my thinking fell into a dead end, and I kept thinking about how to kill all the bugs in front of me. However, Kristina's words suddenly made me jump out of this battle situation. Start thinking from the perspective of a bystander. yes. Although the difficulty of this mission is not low, it is impossible to have such a perverted mission, right? This time, thanks to Kristina and I, if there were a few other players, they would have pounced directly. This situation only shows that there is something wrong with the way the task is completed, because if it must be completed by players of our level, the difficulty of this task should be at least 4s, and it can never be so low. So, there must be something wrong somewhere. Those bugs either don't need to be killed at all, or there is another way to kill them once and for all, and this method should be easy to do.
Once I had the right direction of thinking, this problem became not so difficult. Although I didn't immediately think of a solution, I decided to take the children with Kristina to move backward first. Feng and Ling were also called back to protect us to prevent bugs from rushing over and hurting the children. As for Lilith, she is now our main force in dealing with bugs. Her flesh and blood fusion ability can deal with the sea of insects without any pressure at all. The only thing needed is time. Even if Lilith is left alone here and comes back in a few days, there won't be a single insect left in this place. But, we don’t have that time!
My original plan was to take the children back to the spaceship with Kristina, then exit the island, wait for the Sea of Insects to retreat, and then come back to figure out a way to get over. However, just when we ran to the beach and before we stepped out of the edge of the forest, a red rune suddenly lit up on a big tree in the forest. Then, as if it was infected, the surrounding trees began to light up with red runes one after another, and then all the trees suddenly started to move at the same time. The bugs that were chasing us through the trees disappeared in an instant. It was wrapped in the white gas emitted from the nearby big trees, and then when the bugs came into contact with the gas, they seemed to have come into contact with sulfuric acid, and were corroded in the blink of an eye, leaving only a little bit of debris.
"Holy crap! What's going on?" When we ran out of the forest and looked back, we saw countless insects rushing into the forest one after another. Then, without exception, they were all corroded into slag and fell under the roots of the trees. They become nutrients for the trees, while more insects behind them continue to charge without fear of death. Of course, the result can only be turned into fertilizer like their pioneers.
When we saw this forest depleting the number of insects at a terrifying speed, Kristina and I suddenly understood in an instant. Before we co-authored, we were totally causing trouble for ourselves. The correct way to perform this task is to trigger the mechanism next to the wall, and then the bugs attack. Normal players will definitely resist, but they are not as powerful as us, so they will be forced to retreat after resisting for a while, and then as long as they run out of the forest, those bugs will be killed by the suddenly activated trees.
In other words, this mission level is actually a test of whether the player can survive the first wave of leveling in the sea of insects and escape safely. It does not really require the player to kill all the bugs. As a result, because Kristina and I were too strong, we went into a misunderstanding and actually started a war of attrition with bugs. Fortunately, Kristina reacted first in the end, otherwise we would still be playing a war of attrition with the bugs inside right now! (To be continued.
