The moment the insect queen was killed, all the insect swarms lost their mental control and froze in place.
He was stunned for about five or six seconds, probably realizing that the insect queen was dead, and the insect swarm instinctively fled in all directions. There were only a few guard bugs left to kill each other. Zhang Mu, who originally planned to escape, did not expect such a situation to occur.
Zhang Mu didn't want to waste resources, so he immediately launched an attack on the cannibalistic guard bugs, and finally successfully gave two of the guard bugs the final blow!
In just one minute, half of the insects in the entire egg-laying chamber were gone, leaving only eggs all over the floor. Most of them were cracked, and yellow-white transparent liquid flowed all over the floor. It flows like a small river on the ground, and there is a strange fresh smell in the air.
After the insect queen dies, the body continues to shrivel up, gradually shrinking from a height of fifty or sixty meters to twenty or thirty meters, and finally loses all moisture, turns into powder with a bang, and completely floats in the air.
"The side mission is completed, and you will receive 500 killing points as a reward, and the plot has progressed by 6%!"
Zhang Mu gets 1,200 points after killing the insects, and another 500 points for completing the branch. In addition, he gets killing points for killing other monsters. Zhang Mu's killing points are as high as 3,156 points. You know, it only costs 100 killing points to open a treasure chest with secret rewards!
Because the side plot is not very important, the level of development of the secret realm is very low after the difficult and dangerous mission is over. However, the corpse of the insect queen disappeared and two more things appeared on the ground. This is the attractive reward!
One is a 2-meter-high dome, and the other is an extremely luxurious giant treasure chest.
Zhang Mu walked over to check the two items.
[Insect King’s Egg] (secret realm item), consumes 500 sand rate points to obtain the secret realm skill “Insect King Summon”, which can only be used in the secret realm.
[Luxury Insect Queen Treasure Box] (Secret Realm Treasure Box), a treasure chest that does not appear after killing insects without relying on the power of barbarians. It has a certain probability of obtaining rare items, and a smaller probability of unlocking unique items.
"That's great. I really got something that will be of great help to the secret realm. This adventure was not in vain!"
Zhang Mu paid the price of 500 killing points, the dome shattered, light shot into Zhang Mu's eyebrows, and there was an extra skill in the skill bar.
[Insect King Summon LV5], summons a level 25 insect king with 100% strength to assist in combat. No magic consumption. The summoning time is 3 seconds. It can only be used in the secret realm. When the secret realm ends, the skill will disappear automatically.
The Insect King is a Silver Lord level monster!
The fighting ability is no weaker than that of Six Claws!
The human race has a trump card, and they have greater confidence in the decisive battle!
Zhang Mu walked towards the luxurious treasure box. The box was about half a person tall. It was not locked and could be opened directly. When the treasure chest was opened, it was filled with diamonds, gold, and dazzling jewels. Above it were several exquisite scrolls, something that looked like a honeycomb, and something that looked like a walnut.
"So much gold, a pirate's treasure?"
Zhang Mu had never seen anything like this before. He pulled out a golden gold bar from the box, which weighed almost 2 kilograms. When he looked carefully, he was surprised to find that it had properties!
[Gold Bars of Chongshan], gold bars worth 100 gold coins, can be directly exchanged for 100 gold coins, and need to be taken out of the secret realm before they can be used. Introduction: In the process of developing Bug Mountain, the Zerg collected jewelry, which has a certain value.
[Gemstone of Chongshan], a gem worth 1,000 gold coins, can be directly exchanged for 1,000 gold coins. It needs to be taken out of the secret realm before it can be used. Introduction: In the process of developing Bug Mountain, the Zerg collected jewelry, which has a certain value.
Zhang Mu looked at the piles of gold bars, gold bricks, and gems, and couldn't help but feel happy. Such a lot of treasures can be exchanged for about 70,000 to 80,000 gold coins. This is an amazing wealth for the Huangquan Mercenary Group, and it is cash, which can be directly Cash used.
"There are too many!" Zhang Mu asked the two of them to help, "Pack them all up and we will take them out."
Zhang Mu took out other items from the treasure box, including several LV4 skill scrolls, each priced at more than 2,000 gold coins. Not only were they quite valuable, but they were also popular items.
[Level 4 Enhanced Summoning Scroll] (Silver), limited to summoners, used to summon bronze lord summoned beasts and upgrade them to silver quality summoned beasts.
[Insect Nest] (the only one) is a nest used to cultivate insect monsters, which requires a large amount of ores and food. It takes 2,000 points to get out of the secret realm of killing.
[Insect Brain Core] (gold item), a rare item that has a probability of appearing in the Insect. The user will receive a permanent improvement of 10-60 points of spirit. The higher the user's spirit, the smaller the improvement will be. It can only be used once!
The first one is undoubtedly a good thing.
The third item is undoubtedly a treasure.
As for the second item, Zhang Mu was a little confused. Even if the only item was not defeated by a barbarian, the probability of dropping it was pitifully low. Unexpectedly, after it dropped, it would require up to 2,000 kill points to take it out.
It's a bit weird.
Because 2,000 killing points is not a small amount, the rewards in the land reclamation mode are doubled, plus Zhang Mu made a huge contribution by killing insects, plus killing many powerful monsters and aliens, then he has accumulated more than 3,000 points. If Not in the wasteland reclamation mode environment, even the team leader would find it difficult to accumulate 2,000 points.
However, the greater the price, the greater the value of the nest!
The worm's brain core is a rare item, and Zhang Mu seems to be a very heaven-defying treasure. As the only item, the worm's nest cannot be taken out of the entire secret realm, indicating that its value is higher, and it must be taken out no matter what.
Zhang Mu stuffed the Summoning Strengthening Scroll, Insect Hive, and Brain Core into his backpack. Xie and Wang Ling were of little use, so Zhang Mu gave them a few LV4 skill scrolls.
The three of them left the cave.
The barbarians and mercenaries outside went through bloody battles, killing at least eight to nine hundred fighting bugs, and many mercenaries were directly upgraded.
Zhang Mu, Xie and Wang Ling were walking out of the Chongshan Mountain with their hands full of gold bricks, gold bars, gems and the like. The mercenaries were all stunned. The three of them had only entered the cave. Why were there so many extra jewels and gold
"It's so strange that the originally menacing insect swarm suddenly disappeared without a trace!"
Zhang Mu recounted what happened.
Man Zhan was very shocked: "You three killed the insect queen?"
Zhang Mu nodded and said: "The queen itself is not very powerful in combat. Most of the fighting bugs were attracted and could not return for help in a short period of time. With some coincidences and advantages, the queen was lucky enough to be killed. From then on, no queen laid eggs." , from then on the insect plague ceased to exist.”
Whether they were mercenaries or barbarians, they all admired Zhang Mu's courage.
The barbarian took people to Chongshan for verification. Zhang Mu piled the gold and jewelry on the ground. Du Rongrong, Lin Caiyan, and the other women couldn't help but be stunned. Even Du Rongrong, who was born into a wealthy family, had never seen so much gold and gems at the same time.
Zhang Mu had no choice but to tell the story honestly. Of course, the gold could not be taken by one family. Zhang Mu gave half of it to the others. Then he dug a hole and buried the gold and gems first. After completing the secret realm, he came back.
Du Rongrong stepped hard on the place where the gold was buried: "That's great! This is a treasure that belongs to the mercenaries!"
The savages are out.
Without any obstruction from the insects, everyone successfully passed through the Insect Mountain area, re-entered the normal route, and found a safe place to rest for two hours.
Zhang Mu ate the insect hindbrain core, and the effect was beyond expectations. His energy level increased by 49 points!
Now, with the addition of equipment bonuses, Zhang Mu's total spiritual energy has reached 156 points, which is a D+ level. I am afraid that he is far above many human mercenaries of the legal system!
This detour wasted too much time, and Barbarian Zhan did not dare to rest for too long. Everyone recovered and immediately set off again, starting to rush towards Ghost Crying Valley.
The next morning.
Hundreds of warriors who were tired of the journey stood in a row on the hillside, looking ahead in the morning light. The mountains and forests overlapped and stretched for dozens of miles. Several black mountains were already visible to the naked eye. According to Barbarian Zhan, that is where Ghost Crying Valley is located!
The Manniu Tribe and the Red Tiger Tribe have fought dozens of wars over the past century, and each time the decisive battle was set in the Ghost Crying Valley. To this day, thousands of members of the two tribes are said to have been buried in the valley. Not only is the terrain of Ghost Crying Valley steep, it is easy to get in but difficult to get out, so it was chosen as a battlefield by the warriors of the two tribes.
Ghost Cry itself is not a good place, it is a cursed valley!
Legend has it that the souls of the warriors who died in the Ghost Crying Valley could not be freed and were imprisoned in the valley forever. Therefore, day and night, the valley always echoed with the screams of their souls, just like ghosts crying, hence the name "Ghost Crying Valley".
"We will arrive at Ghost Crying Valley before this afternoon!" Man Zhan crossed his arms over his chest and stared coldly at the black mountains in the distance, "The Man Niu tribe and the Red Tiger tribe have been fighting for a hundred years, and today there should be a result... for The tribes fight! Fight for honor!"
"For the tribe!"
"For honor!"
the savage roared.
"Walk!"
Man Zhan took the lead into the forest. After about four or five hours of trekking, the surrounding vegetation quickly became sparse. Two giant black peaks appeared in front of them, and there was a passage leading straight into the valley. Taniguchi is like a monster's mouth, filled with an ominous feeling.
After a day and a half, everyone finally arrived at the Ghostly Crying Valley!
Man Zhan hid in the dense jungle, stared at the Ghost Crying Valley and said, "The guys from the Red Tiger Tribe must have arrived earlier than us. The valley is already full of traps."
Zhang Mu observed the general terrain. The terrain of Ghost Crying Valley is steep, with a narrow passage at the valley entrance and steep slopes on both sides of the slopes. If the Red Tiger tribe created a trap at the valley entrance and laid an ambush on both sides of the slopes, using rolling logs and falling rocks to coordinate with it, they would be afraid of providing an aerial attack. The situation of the Manniu tribe will be very bad.
"How should we attack?"
Zhang Mu has not come up with a better solution for the time being. After all, in terms of air power, the human race cannot match the Terror, and the Red Tiger tribe occupies the right time and place. Although there is no gap between them and their allies, it is not irreparable.
Lei Ming lowered his voice and said, "Have you noticed that the time limit for the Killing Secret Realm is 3 days, but if you walk in a straight line, you can reach the decisive battle point in 1 day. Is there something wrong with this?"
The fat man scratched his round bald head: "What?"
As soon as Lei Ming said this, Zhang Mu, Huang Tian, and Huang Jianye all reacted.
Any setting in the secret realm must have its own reason. Since the journey is one day, but the master has given a time limit of three days, the extra time must be useful. For example, trigger side missions, or enter special places to obtain special props, thereby increasing the chips for the decisive battle.
The Overlord is very fair and will not give the challenger a guaranteed loss. When the strength gap between the two sides is huge, the Secret Realm will definitely provide checks and balances. For example, there are hidden special props or additional side missions near the route where humans pass. There are fewer side missions or secret realm props that scare people.
The human race has enough luck and wisdom to dig out every secret item and be able to level with the enemy challengers.
It is a pity that the wasteland reclamation team had too little information and information to realize this at first. Now it is too late to turn back and look for hidden props along the way.
The only thing to be thankful for is that Zhang Mu provoked the Terrorist and the Khajiit, causing huge casualties to the Terrorist. Currently, the Terrorist's strength has been reduced by more than half. Everyone accidentally passed through the Insect Mountain and gained a huge harvest.
No one was in a hurry to enter the valley, but lingered nearby to observe the terrain. About 2 kilometers off the route, I found a river. The river was not wide and the current was quite fast. The trees on both sides were densely shaded, covering the river channel and making it difficult to spot from the air.
Huang Tian showed a smile, "I think this river can be used!"
"What good is a broken river?"
"This river is the key to the decisive battle. If we use it, our chances of winning will increase by at least 30%!"
Huang Tian said confidently.
Zhang Mu was stunned for a moment, observing the direction of the river, and immediately understood what Huang Tian was thinking. It was indeed true.
