This time they encountered an ambush in the canyon and lost 19 warriors, including 4 mercenaries and 15 barbarians. The loss was a little smaller than expected. The savages had rough skin and thick flesh. Although most of them were seriously injured when hit by boulders, they managed to crawl out without being killed on the spot.
The mercenary's body was carried out, and when Huang Kai's mutilated body was displayed in front of them, everyone showed complicated expressions.
Huang Tian, Huang Jianye, Dong Zhan and others looked at the corpse in silence.
Huang Tian's expression was as usual, and he didn't show anything. He just clenched his fists, and the joints turned white. Huang Jianye said nothing, but he suddenly looked ten years older. Even the fat man and the lost dog who particularly hated Huang Kai still gave Huang Kai enough respect at this moment.
Sun Lin was in a very complicated mood, and Huang Kai's death in battle had a great impact on her.
"Man Zhan can't wait any longer." Lei Ming sighed softly: "Burn it, and then let's go."
The mercenary's body was simply cremated.
Huang Jianye collected Huang Kai's ashes and put them into a storage capsule, preparing to take them back to the camp for burial.
A large-scale collapse occurred in the canyon. Because it was continuous, it was no longer suitable for walking and had to take a detour. Manzhan regretted this. He would have followed Lei Ming's advice if he had known it. However, Liuclaw was seriously injured by Manzhan, and the terrifying wings The dragon was also severely damaged, and it was impossible to come back for a sneak attack in a short period of time. Even if the sneak attack did not have suitable terrain and sufficient props, it would be difficult to succeed.
Man Zhan led everyone through the forest and walked for about two hours to a wilderness. The vegetation in this wasteland is barren, and several hills are also bare. They are full of reddish-brown stones and have no large plants or trees. At first glance, this place looks like a huge quarry.
"We will pass through the territory of a dangerous guy here!" Man Zhan advanced cautiously, "This guy has a very strong sense of territory. Keep your voice down to avoid alerting him!"
Everyone didn't know what the "guy" in Man Zhan's words was, but even Man Zhan was extremely afraid of him. It was definitely not something that mercenaries could afford to offend. It would be best if they could pass through the area without alerting the other party. .
"Look, everyone?" Du Rongrong rode on the back of a giant bear and pointed to a bare rock mountain in front of her, "Why is this mountain so strange?"
This mountain is about two to three hundred meters high. There is no plant at all from top to bottom. The most strange thing is that hundreds of caves are densely distributed on the mountain, like a huge honeycomb. However, the sizes of the caves are different, completely different. Irregular distribution.
Human beings are prone to aversion to things that are too dense, which is commonly known as "intensive phobia". The strange mountains are densely packed with caves, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling just by looking at them.
"Oh, shit!" The fat man's eyes widened: "What the hell is this!"
Thunder swept over several nearby mountain peaks. Every mountain here was "riddled with holes". It was definitely not caused by natural causes, but something made the mountains look like this.
What could that be
Just when this problem was bothering everyone, a strange "rustling" sound suddenly sounded in the mercenary's ears. It came from the mountain, like fingernails rubbing against the wall. Manzhan immediately raised his right hand to signal everyone not to move forward, and Back up slowly.
"What's that? A bug!"
Suddenly, a mercenary screamed.
Du Rongrong took one look and screamed in fright: "A lot of big bugs came out."
Lin Caiyan and Sun Lin also turned pale when they saw this.
In those dense caves, some giant black-shelled insects came out, more than one, two, three... eighty, a hundred, the number of insects was increasing, densely packed, all over the mountains and plains, almost occupying the entire mountain peak in the blink of an eye. Several nearby mountains are also covered with beetles.
"Hey! Hey! Are you mistaken? There are so many bugs!"
Man Zhan's face looked unhappy: "I knew it!"
[Black Armored Insect Combatant] (Golden Elite), level 25 monster, life 2800, magic 1500, skills? ? ? ,Attributes? ? ? , Introduction: A kind of monster that lives in a group, has a clear social system, and eats ore for a living, so it is as hard as iron!
[Black Armored Insect Battle Captain] (Golden Boss), level 25 monster, life 9000, magic 4000, skills? ? ? ,Attributes? ? ? , Introduction: The giant shell beetle with a higher status has more powerful power and can easily tear steel.
Most of the beetles are golden elites. They cannot pose a threat when they appear alone. When they are all over the mountains and plains, it is very scary. Beetles vary in size. An ordinary beetle is slightly smaller than a car, while Captain Beetle is about 4 times larger, almost the size of a truck.
These monsters look ferocious, looking like a combination of beetles and ants, with two small red glowing eyes and a total of six legs. The hind limbs are used for running and move at a slow speed. The first pair of forelimbs are weapons, like blades. It is cold and sharp, and the carapace on its back is black and shiny, giving people a feeling of invulnerability.
Lin Caiyan had never seen such a terrifying scene. When she looked back, she was shocked to find that her back was also surrounded by a swarm of beetles. Hundreds of people were completely trapped by the beetles.
"what should we do?"
"It's okay, the little bugs don't pose much of a threat, they're just more numerous. Let's kill them before the big ones come out!"
The barbarian hunters launched a collective attack, and the 3-meter-long thick iron spears shot out hundreds of meters like meteors, easily piercing the solid giant shell. The beetle was hit by the huge iron spears, and was directly knocked out several meters, and fell over on the ground. The earth, with its four corners facing up to the sky.
An entire row of beetles was knocked over.
Everyone charged forward.
"kill!"
The ferocious javelins of the barbarian hunters nailed beetles to the ground one after another, and the ferocious fists and legs of the barbarian fighters knocked away countless beetles to death. The mercenaries soon discovered that although there were a lot of these beetles, most of them had no spells and only some of them could perform ground stab attacks. As for the beetle captain, they were slightly stronger. Not only did they have ground stab attacks, but they could also create attacks similar to sword energy. Vomits a highly toxic liquid that looks like formic acid.
In front of hundreds of fierce savages, these beetles were nothing to fear.
Mercenaries have joined the battle, and the priests have increased the status of the barbarians. The knight halo effect is fully activated, and the barbarian's combat effectiveness has soared by 50%. In addition, the priest has assisted and increased blood. With the barbarian's physical strength, this team can fight forever!
Lin Caiyan triggered the ring and activated the skill "Earthquake Wave". This skill has a very wide range. A group of at least sixty or seventy beetles were surrounded by them, and they were all hit by the power transmitted from the ground. The damage capacity of the D-level range skill was considerable, and the beetles were knocked away. At the same time, he also suffered considerable damage.
"Acid rain!"
Lin Caiyan concentrated her magic power to the limit, waved her staff gently, and large green acid rain fell down, falling on the beetle shells and immediately causing serious erosion. The beetles' defense capabilities were greatly reduced. They were also afraid of acid rain and immediately dispersed. The savages took the opportunity to attack and killed the big beetles in pieces.
Useless.
There were too many beetles around here. Although hundreds of beetles were killed, it had no impact on the overall number. Those beetles came one after another, one group died, and another group came up. It was simply endless. Hundreds of people walked through the place. , the corpses of these giant insects were piled into hills.
"Storm and arrows!"
"A rain of ice arrows!"
Yang Yi and Liu Shuiyan released group attack skills.
"Fire rain is coming!"
"Frost is coming!"
Not to be outdone, the elements led by Sun Lin also used range attack skills.
Under the powerful range of attacks, the beetles were killed one by one. Because of the land reclamation mode, the experience gained in the secret realm was doubled, and the experience tank grew at a rate that was almost like a chicken blood.
Everyone killed at least a thousand combat soldiers, but it was less than one-fifth of the total. Many barbarians and mercenaries were injured in the battle. The magic of the mage and priest began to run out. If the fight continues like this, something will definitely appear. Quite a few casualties.
"boom!"
A mountain peak in front suddenly shattered, and a behemoth came out of it. It was an extremely huge insect. It was not much different from an ordinary beetle in appearance, except that the first pair of sharp blades were wider and curved like a sickle. It has complex symbols engraved on it, which is cold and bright, full of metallic texture.
The giant insect is four stories high and estimated to be around 15-20 tons. It is simply a giant-like existence!
The barbarian showed a horrifying expression and shouted: "No, it's out! It's Yot!"
Man Zhan shouted: "Kill out, quickly!"
That giant monster was like a giant tank, roaring forward, knocking away all the soldiers blocking the way. The momentum was really amazing!
A sword with flowing lava fell from the sky and was inserted in front of the giant monster. There was a loud bang and powerful flames erupted. A dozen beetle combat soldiers were surrounded by the fire. They were all charred and fell to the ground. The giant monster was hit by the flames. Impact, suffering 1021 points of damage!
Earth Dragon Flame Pocai can cause over a thousand damage, this monster's defense is amazing!
"It's the president!"
"The boss is back!"
Lei Ming subconsciously looked up to the sky, but could not find Qingmu's figure.
Boom boom boom!
Just listen to the sound of the hard carapace breaking from behind, the beetles were thrown away one after another. A fat and strong dragon suddenly jumped up, spit out a mouthful of black flames, and hit a beetle captain. The beetle captain His hard carapace was instantly eroded by the black flames, and he suffered continuous damage.
Captain Beetle raised his head, only to be slashed by a ray of blue light, and his head fell off. No matter how much blood he had, he could still be killed instantly with one sword.
The surrounding beetles immediately attacked the sub-dragon, with thorns rising from the ground one by one. The black sub-dragon was not afraid and pressed down heavily. All the thorns that hit the sub-dragon were shattered, only causing damage to the sub-dragon. Double digit damage.
Some beetles sprayed poisonous acid, but were deflected by the dragon's layer of magical defense.
A beautiful woman in white raised her staff on Yalong's back, and two bolts of lightning fell from the sky one after another, hitting the giant insect attacked by [Earth Dragon Flame Break] at the same time, causing it to be paralyzed and unable to move temporarily.
"It's Black Claw!" Du Rongrong shouted excitedly: "Black Claw has evolved and grown fatter!"
Zhang Mu used [Advanced Insight] on the monster from a distance!
