"Swish, swish, swish!"
The somewhat boring sound sounded again, and under Richard's gaze, the fourth batch of beetles emerged from the ground.
The beetle that appeared this time was larger than before. The entire shell was silver and looked extremely strong. The look in his eyes was filled with extreme madness and irritability. His mouthparts opened, revealing sharp teeth covered in saliva, and he charged forward with a roar.
Richard's expression became solemn, and he could clearly feel that this fourth batch of silver-shelled beetles was extraordinary, far exceeding the strength of the previous three batches.
In an instant, Richard activated all the amplifying magic patterns of Ring No. 1.
The lightness of the wind, the brute force of the wind, Pierce's nerve sensitivity, accelerated recovery, and Byting's boiling blood are released at the same time.
Richard felt his body lighten, his arms tighten, and his skin ache. Then his heart rate began to accelerate and his blood began to boil.
"call-"
Billowing white steam was exhaled from his mouth and nose. Richard swung his sword and aimed at the fastest charging beetle with a huge force to slash it hard.
"puff!"
The blade of the great sword cut into the beetle's body, but it only cut a dozen centimeters - the body defense of the silver-shelled beetle was more than several times higher than that of the previous beetle, and even if it was cut with all its strength, it could not be killed.
"It's a bit troublesome." Richard thought to himself, and tried to retract his sword and attack again, but at this time, the rest of the silver-shelled beetles had already surged up like a tide.
Richard made a quick decision, opened and closed his lips, and released the "Wind Repel" spell, which condensed the surrounding air and shot out like a wall, knocking away all the silver-shelled beetles.
"puff!"
Richard retracted his sword, raised it high, and slashed it with all his strength for the second time. Following the wound of the first attack, he successfully split the unlucky silver-shelled beetle in half.
At this time, many silver-shelled beetles that had been "repelled by the wind" had regained their ability to move after falling to the ground, and stuck to them again like brown candies.
Looking at the large number of silver-shelled beetles, Richard found it very difficult. Although he did not think it was impossible to defeat them, it would definitely take a lot of physical strength and energy.
Li Cha opened and closed his lips, waved his hand, and released "Wind Repulse" again, repelling the silver-shelled beetle for the second time. He turned his hand, and a small tube of potion appeared in his hand, golden in color - the blood of God!
Holding the blood of God in his hand, Richard hesitated for a moment whether to drink it: Although the amplification ability of the blood of God is strong, it comes at a high cost. Once too much is used, it may take a long time to recover.
Thinking of this, Richard put away the blood of God and took out the Spartan warrior potion.
"Snapped!"
Richard pulled out the stopper and drank a whole tube of Spartan Warrior potion. His strength increased, and he rushed towards the silver-shelled beetle with a big sword.
"Puff puff… "
After ten minutes...
The battle is over.
The big sword was stuck on the ground. Richard was standing, taking out a large amount of salty water from the space iron ring and drinking it. At the same time, he took out the preserved fruit to chew, and swallowed it into his stomach with an expressionless face to replenish energy.
Richard has now realized that exploring the underground space of this cemetery is likely to be a war of attrition, which may take more than ten hours or even days. Then he must make corresponding preparations from now on.
With this thought in mind, after completing the supplement, Richard prepared to go deep into the tomb with some curiosity. After all, since entering this hall, I have been pestered by batches of beetles and have not gone to other places at all.
As a result, as soon as Richard took a step, before he had time to fall, he saw the ground in the hall slowly shaking, and then a sound sounded.
This time, the sound was no longer a "rustling" sound, but a "swishing" sound - countless beetles were approaching.
this!
"Hua Hua Hua..."
The sound was getting closer and louder. Richard's eyes widened and he saw densely packed beetles appearing in another corridor of the hall opposite the way he came from. There were various types of beetles: ordinary black-shelled beetles. Beetles, enhanced silver-thread beetles, elite double silver-thread beetles, extremely difficult silver-shell beetles...
If the several batches of beetles that appeared before were just small groups, the beetles that appeared now are completely an army, numbering in the hundreds or even thousands. They are simply invincible. Even if they can kill dozens or dozens of them with a sword, they will quickly kill them. Falling into siege and being devoured.
Having said that, it is uncertain whether the beetles can really be killed - Richard saw a golden beetle that he had never seen before in the swarm. It was as big as a lamb and was guarded by other beetles. When walking, the momentum is extraordinary. Obviously, the golden beetle is more difficult to deal with than the silver-shelled beetle. It may take the blood of God to break through the opponent's defense.
In this case!
Richard narrowed his eyes, thinking about the previous batches of beetles and the current swarm, and couldn't help but guess: By the way, the previous batches of beetles didn't just accidentally discover his invasion and then attack him. Well, so it is very stupid to send people to death one after another. But now, the entire insect swarm was aware of his existence, and they attacked unceremoniously, preparing to kill him.
That…
Richard turned his hand, and a large white jade piece appeared in his palm, with extremely complicated magic patterns engraved on it.
Richard activated the magic pattern on the white jade piece and threw it with all his strength, causing the white jade piece to fall into the insect swarm.
"boom!"
A huge explosion occurred, like thunder on the ground. The entire hall and the corridor leading to the swarm of insects shook violently. The shock wave swept across everything, and the flames spread, taking the lives of hundreds of beetles.
Magic Pattern Spell·First Level Intermediate·Meteor Pyrotechnic!
This is the most powerful attack spell that Richard currently has. It can only be released with the help of magic patterns. The power is obviously amazing, but it does not have much effect on the insect swarm.
The number of insect swarms is really too much. Even if hundreds of beetles die, the remaining beetles can quickly fill the vacancies and continue to rush in.
Richard looked at the swarm of insects, his eyes narrowed to a slit, and he was already aware of the danger. The next moment, Richard simply released "Wind Repulse" one after another to repel the beetles rushing in front of him, and then threw out several white jade pieces with the "Meteor Pyrotechnic" engraved on them, using the powerful explosion to delay the swarm of insects. With the speed of the attack, he quickly retreated towards the entrance.
"Da da da..." Richard ran quickly.
"Whoa, whoa, whoosh..." The beetle kept chasing after him.
"Rumble..." Explosions sounded from time to time.
…
It took a while.
Richard successfully evacuated the passage and returned to the ground.
Afterwards, Richard discovered that the beetle did not rush out with him, but chased it to a place some distance away from the exit, and then actively retreated into the depths of the tomb, as if it was resolutely performing its guarding work.
In this case, there are pros and cons.
The advantage is that you don’t have to worry about the tomb being exposed. The disadvantage is that if you want to fully explore the tomb, you must deal with a huge, almost indeterminate number of swarms of insects and other unknown monsters. It is impossible to go straight to Huanglong by inducing the tiger to leave the mountain.
So…
Richard stood next to the tombstone, looked at the tombstone of Alex's main line and thought for a long time. He then released the "earth and stone control" spell, repaired the exposed underground passage to normal, turned around and quickly left the cemetery.
Richard has already made a decision in his mind about how to deal with the treasures in the cemetery.
