Chapter 398 The Monster Is Ferocious

Although I believe that people in my guild will not deceive me about this kind of thing, this answer is too unbelievable. So I finally asked Zhenhong to say it again, but the result was the same as what the girl said, just with some more of Zhenhong's own feelings and opinions.

"You mean that thing might be able to read minds?" Compared to the girl who had obviously killed the monster but was more confused than us, Zhen Hong understood much better. After all, she was a master of combat. Although she almost capsized in the gutter, at least she could figure out the cause and effect.

It has always been an ordinary monster, and of course it cannot be more powerful than Zhen Hong, who is known as the humanoid bulldozer. The reason why the previous danger occurred was entirely because Zhen Hong did not understand the characteristics of this creature, so he suffered a loss from the beginning.

In fact, Zhenhong didn't take this thing seriously at all at first, so she deliberately pretended not to notice it. It wasn't until it got close that she suddenly turned around and planned to launch a counter-attack, but in the end, the monster magically dodged past.

This situation surprised Zhenhong, but she did not panic. Instead, according to her own habits, she replaced defense and adjustments with a series of attacks. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably be forced by this intensive attack to be unable to fight back, and would be in chaos because the rhythm was disrupted. With Zhen Hong's strength, once she masters the rhythm of the battle, she can use unbearably dense attacks to force out your weaknesses, and then kill you with one blow. Of course, this is under the premise that there is not a big difference in strength between the enemy and ourselves. If you are an ordinary person, then Zhenhong doesn't have to find any rhythm at all. If you punch him, nothing will happen. It doesn't matter whether you block it or not. It's all the same anyway. die.

However, this monster is like a prophet who can dodge True Red's attacks every time, and it will never block True Red's attacks. Just dodge to avoid Zhen Hong's attack.

This actually happens to be the way to fight against True Red to the maximum extent, because True Red's attack power is too strong. Once hit, no matter whether you are effectively defending or simply being hit, as long as you are touched, even just a scratch. Your body and your movements will be greatly affected. It can range from losing balance and deforming, to being blown away directly, and then you can only wait to die. However, no matter how powerful the attack is, it must hit before it can be effective. If it is not hit, no matter how powerful it is, it will be meaningless.

According to Zhenhong's analysis, the monster was finally KOed by the healing girl with two moves. This shows that the health bar of this thing is very short, and its defense is almost non-existent. In other words, this is actually a crispy crust. However, precisely because this thing is fragile, it knows not to withstand other people's attacks, but in the end, it was completely defeated by Zhen Hong's attack. Because it was safe and not hit.

Of course, this thing's conscious avoidance of attacks is only one aspect. Normal people don't want to be attacked by Zhenhong, but they still can't dodge. Because Zhenhong's movements are not only fast, but also powerful. What's more important is that her boxing skills are really good. They are not random punches. Her attack skills are authentic boxing skills. Even if this boxing technique is used in reality, it can still exert a certain power. It just won’t have the spell effects in the game.

Precisely because Zhenhong's attacks are so sharp, even if others want to dodge, they can't dodge at all. Zhenhong has been out for so long, and her fighting style has been taught by others. Many people have analyzed the method of completely dodging attacks to deal with Zhenhong, but because it is simply impossible, this method is completely arm's length. became theoretical data.

However, although this is not normally possible, there is one situation where it can be done. This situation is - foreknowledge.

Zhenhong's speed is not unparalleled. Her fists are very fast, but they are not so fast that they are completely invisible. There are many people faster than her. But because you can only decide how to dodge when you see Zhenhong punch, so you will be one step behind Zhenhong no matter what. In addition, Zhenhong is already fast, so even if you are faster than her, it is impossible. Fast enough to dodge her attacks.

It's like most people can't dodge a bullet. Although you can react faster than the gunman, the bullets are so fast that by the time you see him pull the trigger it will be too late to dodge. The only way to solve this problem is to dodge before the opponent pulls the trigger, and this ability is prediction.

There are many ways to predict, but based on the previous battle situation, Zhenhong's analysis concluded that this monster's prediction ability is actually a kind of mind reading.

It's not about predicting the future, it's about knowing what you're thinking. Every action you take is driven by your thoughts, so you need to think before you act. Sometimes we say that some people's hands move faster than their brains. This actually means that their subconscious actions are faster than their rational reactions, but this does not mean that your actions appear before consciousness, because even if they are subconscious The movements are also controlled by consciousness, which does not mean that the movements are really one step ahead of consciousness.

Therefore, as long as you can predict your thoughts, you can know what you are going to do before your body does. By the time your body receives the instruction and starts to act, the other party has already started to take targeted actions. In this case, it is equivalent to It means that the opponent moves before you, so he can dodge your attack.

That's what the monster is. He could read minds, so he knew Zhenhong's movements in advance, and then dodge in advance. The result was that the opponent was no longer within the attack range before Zhenhong punched. This is why true red can never be hit. Of course, because this amount of advance is actually very small, it is basically impossible to tell that the monster moves first and then punches.

Moreover, to achieve this, there is actually a necessary condition, which is speed.

Even if a person with a slow reaction can predict other people's actions in advance, he will never be able to dodge the opponent's attack because his speed is not fast enough. This monster itself is very fast, so with the help of this mind-reading skill, it can successfully dodge Zhenhong's attack.

"Then how are you sure that this thing's ability is not to predict the future but to read minds?" A player standing next to him asked curiously after listening to Zhenhong's explanation.

I pointed at the girl who killed the monster and said, "Because of her."

"Um?"

"If that monster can predict the future, then it should theoretically be able to dodge all attacks. But the range of her energy impact attack is very small and the speed is not fast. It is much easier to dodge than the real red fist. But this monster But she accurately dodged Zhenhong's continuous attacks, but was hit by a very slow energy blast. Is this reasonable? Then. The only explanation is that this monster can read minds, because mind reading has a distance limit, and she is not In order to avoid being pulled into the battle circle, the combatants stood far away. This range was obviously beyond the range of mind reading. Therefore, the monster did not know that it was being attacked at all. And it seemed to have no judgment on the attack itself. Because of his ability, he was hit without even taking a dodge action.”

"That's it!" Everyone finally understood.

Zhenhong also said: "So then I kept moving back, hoping to distance myself, but that thing could sense my thoughts and kept pestering me to prevent me from distancing myself. As a result, I was almost eaten alive. If it weren't for I’ve been rescued, but this time I’m going to be embarrassed!”

In fact, it can be seen based on the analysis of True Red. If True Red knows this creature and understands its characteristics in advance, then the battle process may be that the monster is discovered during the approach, and then True Red uses a long-range small skill to KO the target outside the opponent's perception distance. Of course, another possibility is that the monster approaches silently, and then the sneak attack fails. Then Zhenhong directly smashes the large-area AOE skills against the ground, and then clears all nearby enemy units at once.

Unfortunately, because Zhenhong had no prior knowledge, she used the wrong fighting method from the beginning. When I realized that this thing might be able to read minds, it was actually after the monster was killed. In other words, because of the lack of accurate knowledge, Zhenhong has been using the most inappropriate playing methods to fight against this thing.

It's been quiet here for a while just now. We received another attack report. This time, gold coins were attacked. Unlike True Red, almost all gold coins' skills were ranged attacks. So even though she didn't know that the monster could read minds, she still killed the monster. Because even if the monster knew the attack direction of the gold coin, it was still unable to avoid the attack range with a diameter of more than 500 meters. In the end, it was stabbed like a porcupine by dozens of flying swords.

After knowing that the gold coins were attacked, I turned on the communicator again and connected everyone nearby. "Attention everyone, I am Ziri. There are a large number of advanced combat creatures nearby, and all sentries have been doubled. In addition, pay attention to something that looks like a mutated octopus. This creature can read minds and can predict you. dodge in advance. Once discovered, do not engage in melee combat. Use long-range attacks to distance yourself. The opponent is squishy, ​​and as long as it hits, the auxiliary staff can easily kill it. If there are multiple people, try to use crossfire to attack the furthest away from you. The goal."

My notification here can be said to be quite timely, because there seems to be a very large number of such monsters. We have just killed two here, and soon someone reported that they encountered monsters after hearing my reminder, but Because I knew the characteristics of this thing in advance, I killed all the targets with almost no effort.

However, although this kind of mind-reading monster is afraid of long-range players, the monsters here are not of this kind, and soon we encountered new types of monsters. Most of them didn't cause too much trouble, because I had previously asked the guards to add double posts, and in order to deal with those mind-reading monsters, King Chuang specifically asked to add a lot of remote personnel at high places to act as snipers to cover the people below. , so most of the monsters were killed by this tight defense. However, not all monsters are so easy to deal with. Among these ordinary monsters, there are always some relatively powerful monsters.

There are three special creatures among them. The first thing that appeared was a bug monster that looked similar to a watermelon bug. The watermelon bug is also called a woodlouse. Of course it is not the woodlouse in StarCraft, but a small bug in reality, because when it encounters danger, it will curl up into a ball and protect its whole body with a hard ring-shaped shell. It looks like it has turned into a striped watermelon, hence its name. Of course, the thing we encountered is definitely not called a watermelon worm, and it can't be that small. In fact, this creature is not only not small, but is unusually large.

When this kind of bug clumps into a ball, it becomes a big round ball with a diameter of more than three meters. However, the watermelon bug clumps into a ball for defense. Although this guy also clumps into a ball for defense, this is actually the way it moves. The bugs can roll quickly on the ground after clumping into a ball, not only very fast. And the flexibility is amazing. Not only can it roll forward, but it can also roll backward, and it can even roll sideways or diagonally. You can roll whatever you want. Not only is its speed comparable to that of a speeding motorcycle, but more importantly, its flexibility is amazing. In this dense forest, he actually dashed through at a speed of more than 80 kilometers without hitting impossible obstacles such as big trees and boulders.

If this thing just rolls fast, then forget it. What's even more outrageous is that the carapace on its back is as hard as an armor plate. Even if it is hit in the same position multiple times, it will be difficult to break through the defense. Most of the players in our guild were directly knocked down by the high-speed charging bug after hitting this guy several times first. After our people were knocked down, they would lose the ability to resist, and at this time this thing It will rush up quickly, and then unfold its body to reveal eight pairs of sixteen blade-like abdominal legs hidden inside. Of course, in addition to these sixteen abdominal legs, this guy also has two dedicated forelimbs like a praying mantis. If you think that's the end of it, you're totally wrong. In addition to the sixteen abdominal legs and the pair of sickle-like forelimbs, this thing also has two weapons. One is a plier-like mouthpart, and the other is a short needle on the back of the butt.

This guy's mouthparts have amazing biting power and hardness. It can bite through armor, break weapons, and even shields are useless. And the thorn on the back of its butt is like a laser drill, and everything in front of it looks like it is made of tofu. Poke one hole at a time. Of course, just opening a few holes is nothing. The key is that this thing is poisonous and has a strong anesthetic effect. After the injection, you will not feel any pain, but will feel very comfortable. Then I just want to sleep, and then I completely lose consciousness.

After knocking down the enemy, this thing will nail the enemy with its belly and legs. If the target is strong, it will use poisonous needles, sickle-like forelimbs and mouthparts to greet the opponent, killing the target quickly. Most of the attackers have been knocked down, so the defensive actions must be non-standard, so this guy's success rate is very high.

Just because of this guy's weird attack method, we lost several NPCs here. In the end, Zhenhong ran to support and KOed this thing with one punch. But when Zhenhong came back, it was amazing that she brought me a shiny meat dumpling, which she said was found in the monster's belly.

Because Zhenhong doesn't know how to identify, I helped to look at it, and the last discovery turned out to be insect eggs. Oh no, these are just a bunch of insect eggs.

The reproductive capacity of bugs has always been strong, and this big bug has no idea what family planning is, so when I finished the identification, the prompt I got was: "You have obtained 1,706,149 nest worm eggs."

I am really sure that I read it correctly. This thing is really called a Brood Worm. It sounds exactly the same as the other name of the Watermelon Worm in reality, but the words are different. In addition, the number of eggs in that seemingly small group is really astonishing. There are more than 1.7 million eggs in such a small group.

After seeing the data I identified, Zhenhong threw the eggs directly to me, and she didn't want to touch them even if I beat them to death. Although it's nice for him to be a tomboy, he is a woman after all, and of course he doesn't like disgusting things like insect eggs.

In fact, I don't like this thing either, but this thing is a very important thing, because it is an insect egg. In the game, the egg of a creature, or egg, is the basic form of a familiar. In other words, there are actually more than 1.7 million pet eggs here, but the level of these creatures is not too high. Of course, considering the preciousness of magic pet eggs in the game, even the eggs of such low-to-mid-level creatures are quite easy to sell. Although the price is not too high, considering the quantity of this thing... small profits but quick turnover Actually it’s not bad.

Although I really wanted to make some money with this thing, in the end I gave up the intention of selling this thing as a magic pet egg because Hongyue's words reminded me.

Although the combat power of this thing is not too exaggerated, it is not weak either. It can lay more than 1.7 million eggs at a time. Excluding the inability to hatch due to innate factors, the emergence rate of larvae of this insect should be very alarming. However, in the attacks we encountered, this kind of bug was actually an isolated phenomenon, and the number that appeared was not as high as that of mind-reading monsters. What does this mean? This shows that this kind of creature has natural enemies here, and these natural enemies can eliminate this kind of bugs in large numbers, so that even if more than 1.7 million eggs can be laid at one time, the number of this kind of bugs still cannot grow.

However, there are natural enemies of this bug. But we don’t have it there. If it's the kind of person who dies with a low reproductive rate, just take it back and forget about it. Insects are the species that are most likely to spread. If you take one for a few weeks, you can create a large swarm, which can cover the whole world in a few months. Don't be surprised, if there are no natural enemies, the bugs can indeed complete the task of occupying the earth at this speed. so. Bugs need to be treated with care.

Because there is no way to control this kind of bug so that it will not spread, so in order not to cause trouble for ourselves, our last choice is to take this kind of bug back and send it to Steel City and hand it over to the Zerg.

Don't forget that our Frost Rose Alliance also has a Zerg vassal. So far, the Zerg castle is still active on our battlefield. Among them, the terrifying carrying capacity of Giant Butterfly City and the all-pervasive reconnaissance capabilities of Giant Mosquito Outpost have killed many enemies with envy!

Although this Brood has good reproductive capabilities, it will become a controlled species as long as it is incorporated into the system by the Zerg, so there is no need to worry about their proliferation. and. Once the Zerg gets this unit, we will have another combat unit. In my opinion, this kind of creature should be very useful on the battlefield. After all, its penetration ability is almost the same as that of a tank, and it can run very fast. It comes with its own armor, and apart from being unable to attack from a distance, it is just a biological tank.

Although I brought some back, there was no need to bring more than a million eggs back. So I separated the eggs and got a small part out. There were probably tens of thousands of eggs, which was definitely enough anyway, and the rest were all burned.

In addition to this brooder, one of the two remaining powerful species is a creature called the Thunder Beast.

The shape of this thunder beast is like a Tyrannosaurus Rex on weight loss. It walks on its hind limbs, dragging a big tail behind it, but its body is very slender, not thick, and it doesn't have the exaggerated musculature of Tyrannosaurus rex. In addition, the shape of this thing's head is disgusting, like a blooming chrysanthemum of flesh and blood. Yes, it really looks like a chrysanthemum. After the circular pipe mouth is opened, there are five circles of sharp teeth like a cutting machine, and there is a long tongue in the middle of these teeth.

The attack method of this thing is to find the target and jump directly over to kill the opponent with the sharp claws on its powerful hind limbs and its own body weight. That's right, this guy bounces forward like a large flea, and because of its speed and weight, it is almost impossible to intercept when it falls and attacks, because ordinary people will never be able to stop this big guy falling from the sky. Although this thing is thin, it is over three meters tall and weighs more than a ton. Such a big thing can jump seventy or eighty meters, and the highest point can reach a height of twenty meters on land. You can imagine the impact when it falls.

If it weren't for the unfortunate fact that the Thunder Beast that appeared happened to appear from Christina's defense area, it is estimated that this thing could have fought all the way to the core area of ​​our fleet. Of course, the result of being bumped into by Christina would not be so good. After killing several of our NPCs, this thing killed a player, and then was discovered by Christina.

The guy also discovered Christina at the same time, then jumped over with a bounce, and then stepped on Christina with a very exaggerated gesture. Of course, Christina wouldn't just wait, so after the monster jumped up, she lit it up in the air with a magic missile, turning it into a big fireball and hitting the ground.

After Christina takes down the monster, she encounters the last magical creature of the raid.

The shape of this thing is completely different from the previous two. The Brood Worm is a standard aggressive creature, while the Thunder Beast is a bit disgusting, but basically a normal creature. But this last creature is more magical.

In fact, we didn't even know until the end whether it was one creature or a group of creatures that was killed.

This is something that looks a lot like a meat ball, and it's disgusting, no doubt about it. This meat ball can jump on the ground like a basketball, and then when it reaches you, it will reveal a mouth with many teeth, and then it will bite you and start sucking blood. Of course, it also eats meat, and sucking blood is just the first step.

This thing was discovered by Christina as soon as it appeared, and was hit by a magic missile. Christina didn't take this thing seriously at all, because although it was disgusting, it was only slightly bigger than a basketball and didn't look like a particularly dangerous thing.

However, after being hit by the magic missile, this thing did a very terrifying thing. It was directly burned in half after being hit by a magic missile. Then Christina thought that the thing was dead, but instead of being dead, it took less than twenty seconds to recover from the wound, then began to vomit, and then from A meat ball exactly like his own came out of his mouth.

The two meat balls began to attack after they appeared. One of them continued to attack Christina, and the other rushed towards other nearby guild members.

At that time, Christina burned the monster that attacked her with a big fireball, and the monster that attacked other players was also slashed in two by that player. I originally thought that this would be the end of it, but in the end, the cut monster started to recover from the wound directly, and both hemispheres recovered themselves, and then became two monsters again in the blink of an eye.

After seeing the monster resurrected, the players next to it immediately continued to attack, and then the thing began to replicate continuously. It is like an earthworm. After being cut open, the cut part will regenerate into a brand new individual, and the original individual will automatically recover from its wounds and will not lose its combat effectiveness because of being cut. As for magic attacks, this is not necessarily safe. As long as the creature cannot be completely burned out at once, the remaining parts will absorb the magic power of the attack, and then undergo self-reproduction by vomiting, and not into two at once, but continue to divide until It will only stop after consuming the magic power it just absorbed.

When Christina and the others exterminated this creature, the number of this thing once reached more than 300. But luckily, Christina is one of the best AOE players in the world.

It was precisely because of Christina's strength that after everyone turned this thing from one to more than 300, they discovered that this thing could not be destroyed with ordinary attacks, so in the end everyone withdrew from the battle, and then Christina used the super large range. The skill burned a large area to ashes. This move directly caused a forest fire. Later, it was our people who used magic to put out the fire to avoid the forest fire. But this trick completely eliminated this troublesome creature.

Although Christina's fire helped us get rid of a potentially very troublesome creature, this fire ended up causing us trouble.

Don't forget that we are in a battle now and are just temporarily withdrawing from the battle. We and the Rainbow Alliance players all need to rest, but the smart core doesn't need it, so that guy keeps looking for us. As a result, it couldn't find us, but Christina's fire pointed it directly to it. direction. (To be continued ~^~)
