Chapter 407: Insect Nest Melee

Ji Xun found that there were exactly 100 people coming in, which meant that the alien space did not judge Ivan, who was hiding in his pocket, as a human participant.

Maybe it was a spiritual object, or a pet?

Ji Xun was not sure.

Just then, the girl woke up, and he whispered: "Ivan, can you get out of this space?"

Ivan was also in the alien space for the first time. She was very curious about the surroundings with only a pair of eyes emerging from her pocket.

Hearing Ji Xun's question, she replied: "Sure. Isn't this a 'space bubble'? Just poke it and you can get out."

"."

Ji Xun listened to the little loli's words, and a strange color instantly appeared in his eyes.

He knew that Ivan's spatial ability was very strong.

But he didn't expect it to be so outrageous.

Can he leave the alien space without limit?

Isn't this the same as the effect of the special card [Space Teleport Card]?

What is the situation with Ivan?

The alien space can almost be said to be one of the biggest ultimate secrets in this world.

Even in the classics left by the Talen Dynasty, Emperor Lanlingster had once sought the answer to this question, but did not get an accurate answer.

In other words, the height of the secrets related to the different-dimensional space may be higher than the peak that humans can reach.

How could Ivan ignore the space restrictions and go out at will?

Ji Xun thought about the origin of Ivan mentioned by Griffith, the leader of the Rebel Dragon Army.

This little Lolita was found in a black coffin.

He guessed that Ivan himself might have some special relationship with the different-dimensional space.

However, before Ji Xun thought about it, the little Lolita muttered again: "But I can't take you out, Mr. Ji Xun. Well, you melted in the bubble"

"???"

Ji Xun didn't understand what this meant.

Ivan couldn't explain it clearly.

Half listening and half guessing.

He roughly understood that he should be connected to the rules of the different-dimensional space.

But it doesn't matter.

Ji Xun has never thought of using tricks to get out when participating in any different-dimensional space.

Thinking of this, he followed the team and walked quickly in this dark tunnel.

"Strange, the intelligence clearly said that the plot character is a lieutenant colonel. How did he become a brigadier general?"

"Maybe the number of explorations has increased, triggering an unexpected plot. Everyone be careful, the difficulty of this mission should also change."

"."

Someone in the team noticed something unusual and whispered.

Ji Xun walked silently in the team, not conspicuous.

Of course, he also heard the conversation between the temporary leader of the Thunder Hammer Regiment and several team members in front.

In addition to one hundred adventurers, their team that shuttled through the tunnel also had one hundred NPC mechanical warriors, most of whom were wearing armor.

Under normal circumstances, after entering, the commander of the NPC team is a colonel, wearing the "Hunter God Armor" of the sixth-level peak combat power.

But now that he came in, the bearded commander became a brigadier general, and the configuration of his and the entire NPC team's mechanical equipment was obviously much better than in the intelligence.

Others don't know why the difficulty has increased.

But Ji Xun knows it.

It is likely that it is because of his hidden sixth level that the spatial will has raised the difficulty.

But it's just right.

For Ji Xun, he had never thought of only clearing the D-level difficulty plot.

Listening to the Thunderbolt Group discussing tactics, Ji Xun was calm throughout the whole process.

His greatest curiosity about this space, in addition to mechanical technology materials and drawings, was more importantly, he was very curious about what happened during the last period of the fall of the Talen Dynasty.

Obviously, these Thunderbolt Warhammer mercenaries had never thought of the situation of "spies".

After all, even if there were spies, they would not follow them to this kind of alien space with a very high mortality rate if they did not want to gather intelligence in the camp.

The plots of the alien space in the hunting mode are very simple.

In layman's terms, it is to kill monsters.

The only special thing is that Enlightenment directly prompted that the final BOSS of this alien space, the evil omen queen worm Malgit, was directly related to the 'mysterious worm mother Karakta', one of the seven monarchs of the natural disaster.

Of course, the hint in other people's intelligence was "a certain outer god".

Because Ji Xun knew the names of the seven outer gods, he showed them.

This team of 200 people moved forward secretly in the underground tunnel all the way.

As the plot suggests, the Zerg surrounded the Holy Crown City, and their reconnaissance team was going to find the Zerg nest hidden deep in the underground somewhere outside the city.

There are many similar teams in other places.

The people from Thunder Hammer have come in many times, so they have basically explored the situation of the tunnel.

The temporary leader Matt guided the NPC's exploration direction and soon found the right way.

After walking for about an hour, everyone came to a shaft-like passage.

Enlightenment immediately appeared: "The hidden 'Z-shaped tunnel' leading to the Zerg nest was discovered, and the exploration degree was +15%. You have attracted the attention of the Zerg army. C-level mission trigger: Pass the Z-shaped tunnel alive. Complete the mission to get a branch reward."

Ji Xun glanced at it, and there were irregular tunnels like rat holes all around.

There was yellow mucus on the soil, which was the secretion of the insects when digging holes.

Fortunately, the pits were very large, most of them were more than three meters high, and there was a lot of room for people to walk inside.

The werewolf's sense of smell allowed him to clearly distinguish the smell in the air.

There were at least dozens of smells left by insects.

Just as I was thinking about it, a rustling sound suddenly rang out in the darkness.

It seemed like a large number of monsters were rushing towards them.

The bearded NPC brigadier general in the lead looked at the prompt displayed on the light screen on the arm of the mechanical armor, which was a dense green light spot.

His expression was stern, and he shouted: "The area ahead is the active area of ​​the Zerg! Everyone prepare for battle!"

Ji Xun glanced at the brigadier general mecha. This set of functions was obviously much more complete than the ones Dong Qi had worn before, and many black technology equipment against insects were installed.

For example, this scanner that can sense the activities of living organisms.

Before he could look at it, the sound of guns being loaded sounded in the corridor as soon as these words came out.

The adventurers also entered the combat state.

Ji Xun also showed the due urgency, and took out a few first-level [Fireball Cards].

His disguised identity was a third-level elemental manipulator, at least before being exposed, he had to look like a magic card master.

The possibility of not being discovered by insects in the cave was zero, so the difficulty of this different dimension was to complete the task in the siege of insects.

Soon, almost everyone heard the sound of the arthropods crawling in the tunnel.

At a certain moment, it was like a water pipe bursting, and a dense swarm of insects suddenly emerged from a corner of a tunnel.

This is a kind of [Blade Jumping Mantis] with wings and two sharp insect arms, about one foot long.

It is very fast, agile, and endless in number. It can easily cut the body of a low-level card master.

The weakness is fragility.

As long as you avoid the shell, ordinary bullets can shoot a bag of yellow pulp.

However, this is the least threatening insect in this different dimension.

The adventurers had received intelligence before they came in, so they were not too panicked when they saw the insects coming in like a tide.

The war slaves were a little confused.

After all, they only knew what monster they were going to face a few minutes ago.

Fortunately, the Thunder Group spent a lot of money, and the slaves’ equipment was not too bad.

This "Horror Worm Cave·Evil Omen Mother Worm Malgit" is one of the several different-dimensional spaces that the Southern Continent Mercenary Group is currently focusing on.

Regardless of equipment and personnel configuration, it is the top configuration of the Thunder Hammer Mercenary Group.

The significance of being able to pass this worm cave is not only to gain. It also means that crucial clues can be found for those more difficult related spaces deep in the ruins.

For example, the relevant information about the jar.

Almost in an instant, the human and insect sides started fighting in the corridor.

"Da Da Da"

"Da Da Da"

Bullets poured down like raindrops.

It must be said that when it comes to killing insects, guns are much more powerful than card masters.

Pull the trigger, the insects confined in the tunnel are almost live targets.

The firepower network formed by three or five of these well-trained NPC mechanical warriors is enough to block a passage.

Bullets are like a torrent of steel, violently blocking the tide of insects.

Theoretically, as long as there are enough bullets, no matter how many of these low-level insects come, they will not pose a fatal threat to the team.

However, the trouble is that the number of bugs is endless.

As long as they dare to stay in one place for too long, more and more bugs will surround them.

In the end, they can't escape.

The bearded NPC brigadier general certainly knows this, and he fights and breaks through: "Follow me!"

Ji Xun also mixed in the crowd and rushed towards the depths of the tunnel.

This is already deep underground, and the tunnels are complicated. Soon, all directions have become a sea of ​​​​jubilant bugs.

Everyone is involved in the fierce battle.

Ji Xun also ejected a few low-level cards such as [Explosion Card] and [Fire Bomb] from time to time.

Although his major occupation sequence is physical skills, he wants to comprehend the realm of all things after advancing to the sixth level, and he has recently been cramming magic skills related to the magic system.

At least this kind of low-level spell is easy for him.

The card exploded in the swarm of insects, and the broken limbs flew everywhere, and the enlightenment was constantly refreshed.

"Successfully killed 'Blade Jumper', points +1"

"Successfully killed 'Blade Jumper', points +1"

"Successfully killed 'Elite Blade Jumper', points +3"

"."

According to his current progress, it would take a long time to get 100,000 points by killing low-level bugs.

And the materials from these low-level bugs are far less valuable than the consumed cards.

Ji Xun didn't care.

There were a lot of spell cards in the previous spoils that were enough for him to consume.

The team was still rushing towards the depths of the dungeon.

Because the people from Thunder Hammer came for the B-level plot this time, they used the intelligence they had obtained before to guide the NPCs to open the way.

And because the overall equipment of the NPC team was greatly improved this time, the firepower of the machines was too strong, and the breakout plan was smoother than expected.

Not long after, when everyone appeared at a huge dark river fork, Enlightenment appeared again.

"'Breakthrough the Z-shaped channel' mission completed, all members received C-level mission branch rewards, and individuals received +300 points"

"The hidden tunnel of the worm cave was discovered, and the exploration degree was +25%. You have attracted the attention of the queen worm. B-level mission triggered: find the queen worm's nest and send a positioning signal to the Holy Crown City base camp; you can choose to accept the mission, or leave the space with enough points;"

Two enlightenments in a row.

The B-level mission was finally triggered.

Ji Xun took a look and didn't think much about it.

He only has a few thousand points now, which is a long way from 100,000. He can't get out.

Others, slaves, can't get out.

The scattered people didn't get any benefits, and no one left.

However, there was a low-level card master in the Thunder Group who was responsible for transmitting intelligence and left the space in advance.

Next, it was the really dangerous plot.

The intelligence did not mention the mortality rate of B-level tasks, but at present, top mercenary groups like the Thunder Group have not explored A-level, which means that the mortality rate must be extremely high.

It may have been explored.

Outsiders just don't know.

No matter what the situation is, it doesn't matter to Ji Xun.

The current situation is really not threatening to him.

While running, the temporary team leader Matt cleverly guided the NPC to choose a tunnel leading to the depths of the crypt many times.

These are important intelligence that the previous batches of adventurers exchanged their lives for.

Large teams have enough experience, and they know that the rational use of plot characters is the key to passing the high-difficulty space.

The team rushed all the way again.

It was still the rhythm of "kill, kill, kill".

Very smooth.

Everyone came to the depths of the northwest direction of the underground.

There were more and more bugs around.

Not just in number.

The types of bugs also changed.

In addition to the previous [Blade Jumping Mantis], some [Iron Beetles] similar to dung beetles gradually appeared. Their hard shells could easily block magic bullets; there was also a [Exploding Bug] that spewed acid, and a mouthful of thick phlegm could spray a hundred meters, even mechanical armor would sizzle and smoke; and there were red tentacles that looked like tree roots, coming out of nowhere

Still very low-level, endless.

As these bugs appeared, casualties gradually began to occur in the human team.

Bugs can make countless mistakes, but the human side, if they are drowned by the sea of ​​bugs, will surely die.

And gradually, there were also a small number of fourth- and fifth-level small BOSSes mixed in those bugs.

When these high-level bugs appeared, it usually meant that someone was going to die.

The number of ammunition for mechanical warriors is limited, and mechanical equipment has a limit to its endurance, so it is impossible to fire at a high frequency all the time.

As the fight went on, Ji Xun had an intuition: the queen bug is very intelligent.

It seemed that it was deliberately using these low-level bugs to consume the ammunition of the human army.

After discovering this, Ji Xun realized that it was not so meaningful to follow the main force.

Although the NPCs are very powerful, they are also big targets.

Being stared at and surrounded by bugs like this, even if the task is finally completed, the ending will be tragic.

The difficulty of the plot is evaluated for everyone, that is, the B-level difficulty is enough for Ji Xun, a sixth-level burial here.

The most important thing is that he thinks that the queen insect is so smart that being stared at by it all the time will be very passive.

Moreover, the guys from the Thunder Group obviously have some "special ideas".

In the fierce battle, it is difficult for ordinary people to notice what teammates are doing elsewhere in the complex corridor, but Ji Xun has been observing it clearly.

He obviously found that at some point, a small team suddenly left the main force and left from another branch of the tunnel.

Without orders, slaves cannot leave; the scattered group will not seek death and leave the main force without authorization.

It can only be that the guys from the Thunder Group have some other plans.

Most likely they wanted to use the main force as bait, and they were going to carry out some other hidden branch missions.

After discovering this, Ji Xun didn't want to stay any longer.

At the moment when a team was dispersed by the enemy's sea of ​​insects, he suddenly grabbed Old Man Xu who was fishing in troubled waters in the team and rushed into another passage.

Like the unlucky ones cut apart by the Zerg, the fast-running large army didn't care about the two missing people at all.

For ordinary people, it is almost a dead end to leave the large army in a tunnel full of insects.

Without the large army, there is no chance to change ammunition and breathe, and they can only be drowned by the sea of ​​insects in the end.

But that was someone else, not Ji Xun.

Listening to the sound of gunfire gradually fading away, two people suddenly sat up in a pile of sticky insect corpses.

Ji Xun's facial muscles twisted, and he had returned to his original appearance.

He looked at Old Man Xu and smiled and said, "Senior Xu, long time no see."

The perception methods of insects are nothing more than vision, hearing, and smell.

Ji Xun had been observing Old Man Xu before.

This guy was clearly slacking off in the team, but he had never been fatally attacked by the bugs.

After observing for a while, he found that the old man secretly smeared the glands that burst from the bug corpses on his body.

As soon as he took the old man away from the main force, he chose to play dead.

Ji Xun did not choose to break out, but followed the old man to learn a lot.

Countless experiences have told Ji Xun that it is always right to follow the old predecessors.

Facts have once again proved that the old man's way of surviving is reliable.

Hearing someone call out his name, Old Man Xu was also stunned.

He looked at Ji Xun's yellow mucus face and showed a little surprise, but this time he did not forget who it was, and thought of who it was, and said in surprise: "Ji Xun boy?"

Then he cracked his big front teeth, with a look of surprise: "Why are you here too?"

Ji Xun smiled: "It's a long story. I was lurking in this camp, and then I found that you were caught, so I followed you"

As he said, he did not forget to joke: "See if I can save you."

"You"

Listening, Old Man Xu rolled his eyes at him.

That look of disgust seems to be able to speak: Every time I meet that guy, I feel something is not right.

But after all, Ji Xun really took action. The old man was disgusted and didn't say anything.

Then, he frowned and added: "But, how did you become so girly? Have you taken the path of the 'Forbidden Witch'?"

When Ji Xun heard this, he was surprised and said, "Is it so obvious?"

He was not surprised that the old man could see it.

But, is he so obvious?

Old Man Xu pursed his lips and said, "Your kid's 'qi' has become soft. Do you think it's obvious?"

Ji Xun also looked a little helpless when he heard this, and explained: "I didn't follow the witch sequence, I was just contaminated by a relic."

As he spoke, he showed off the Black Magic Gloves without hesitation, and then asked: "Senior, is there a way to solve this pollution?"

To be honest, this person is more mysterious than the leader of the Dragon Rebel Army.

Old Man Xu glanced at it and said casually: "Yes!"

"ah?"

Ji Xun also asked casually, but he didn't expect it to happen.

However, his expectations were poured cold water on him in the next second. Old Man Xu scratched his head: "I remember it. But I forgot."

"."

Ji Xun's eyes twitched inexplicably, and then he couldn't laugh or cry.

Sure enough, this old man is the most unreliable when he is reliable.

Old Man Xu was also a little embarrassed, as if to make up for the cowhide he had just blown off, he added: "But... I seem to have seen these gloves somewhere. I remember they seemed to be part of a skirt suit."

Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly as he listened: "Oh? Senior, have you seen it before?"

This black magic glove is an inherited treasure of the Bai family. It has been seen rarely in history, but not by everyone.

But knowing that these gloves are part of the [Lanlingster Witch Dress] set, even in the Bai family, there are very few of them.

Old Man Xu didn't know, but his expression suddenly turned subtly obscene and he said, "I remember it was worn by a pretty girl."

His expression seemed to be that he wanted to recall something, but suddenly he couldn't remember it. He said regretfully: "It's been too long, and I forgot about it."

But after hearing these words, it was Ji Xun's turn to be uneasy.

It turns out that the old man didn't see these gloves before, but saw someone wearing them?

A pretty girl?

It can make the old man remember that "very beautiful" means that it is definitely not ordinary beautiful.

Isn't it a senior who was contaminated and turned into a witch?

But this glove has been in the hands of the Bai family for at least thousands of years, and no one in the Bai family has been said to have been contaminated and turned into a witch. Who is Old Man Xu talking about?

Among the information Ji Xun knew, there was only one piece of information that matched the number, and that was what the magic mirror said - "Emperor Lanlingster who turned into a witch"!

hiss.

Not that much.

Ji Xun doesn't think it's not possible, but he thinks it's impossible.

Emperor Lanlingster was a person who lived tens of thousands of years ago, and it is impossible for Mr. Xu to live longer.

After testing a few more words, Ji Xun found that the clue was broken again.

Old man Xu also lost his memory as expected.

Then, Ji Xun changed the subject and asked: "Senior, are you here to find the [Forbidden Ruins Stone Tablet]?"

Old Man Xu blinked and asked with a confused look on his face: "Do you know what I'm looking for?"

Ji Xun has long been used to the old man's forgetfulness. He himself has forgotten what he is looking for, so he reminds: "Yes. The last few times I met you, you were looking for those black stone tablets."

Old man Xu seemed to have remembered something just then: "Huh? Oh, so I'm looking for the [Forbidden Ruins Stone Tablet]. But, why am I looking for that stone tablet?"

Ji Xun rolled his eyes: "."

We've had many adventures together, and we've become quite familiar with them. He was not surprised at all by this kind of useless conversation.

Thinking that the only way to trigger certain memories is to find the stone tablet, the old man's "large number" will come online.

Ji Xun didn't expect to get the answer directly, so he tentatively guided him: "Senior, is there what you are looking for in this extradimensional space?"

Old Man Xu: "I'm not sure yet. But it seems there is."

Ji Xun smiled brightly: "Yes, just right. I'll help senior look for it together."

With this old-timer anchoring certain things, this time the difficulty of the extra-dimensional space can be tried to be even higher.

"Where's Che Er?"

"That kid went to the Southern Continent for training."

"By the way, senior, I saw a place with many stone monuments in a special space."

"Ah? There are fifty-three stone tablets?"

"."

As Ji Xun knew, even in this insect nest, Old Man Xu had countless ways to avoid the insect siege.

The two of them walked and chatted.

Instead, he became more relaxed.

However, not long after walking, Qidi suddenly appeared: "Your team has discovered the nest of the mother insect. The exploration rate is +40%. You have attracted the attention of the mother insect. The A-level mission is triggered: the angry mother insect sends a powerful insect race to protect the nest. The guards surround and kill the intruders, you need to survive."

When Ji Xun saw the skyrocketing difficulty of the plot, he chuckled unsurprisingly: "Those guys in the Thunder Group are very powerful. Have they found the insect nest now?"
