Looking at the double silver-patterned beetles, Richard knew that it would be difficult to deal with them simply using swordsmanship. He simply put the big sword back into the space iron ring, stretched out his hand, and the third ring on his hand was activated, and the "serial explosion" magic pattern spell was released.
"call out!"
A dark red spark the size of a date appeared and flew quickly towards the nearest double silver-striped beetle that had emerged from the ground. After hitting the body of the double silver-striped beetle, the size of Mars expanded like an inflated balloon, and then exploded.
"boom!"
A large ball of flames emerged, and most of the shell of the attacked double silver-patterned beetle was melted away, but it did not die immediately due to its tenacious vitality. At this time, in the remaining flames of the explosion, another dark red spark the size of a date was born, and its size expanded again, resulting in a second explosion.
"boom!"
The body of the unlucky double silver-striped beetle was engulfed in flames and exploded to pieces. Its nearby companions were also affected, with scars from the explosion, and dark green juice oozing from the broken shell.
Magic pattern spell·zero-level high-level·two consecutive explosions!
After seeing the effect of the two consecutive explosions, Richard nodded with satisfaction. Although he had already conducted experiments and obtained corresponding data in the underground laboratory of the laboratory, after all, it was more realistic in actual combat.
Next, Richard did not hesitate, continuously activated the magic patterns, and continuously released the "serial explosion" spell.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The explosion sounded like firecrackers, and when it calmed down, the double silver-striped beetle was completely dead.
Richard slowly exhaled and relaxed slightly, then raised his eyebrows and looked towards the corridor leading to the depths of the tomb. He heard the sound of a large number of beetles coming in, obviously the entire insect swarm was alarmed. .
Richard's expression condensed, and he knew in his heart that the previous ones could only be regarded as appetizers, but now is the real test. If he could not successfully deal with the incoming insect swarm, all his preparations would be useless.
Let's see if the extremely large amount of earthwork he just spent his energy on can work as planned.
As Richard thought about this, the swarm of insects coming from the corridor had already revealed their heads.
Running at the front are densely packed black beetles, followed closely by silver-striped beetles with one stripe and double silver-striped beetles with two stripes. After that, there are the extremely difficult silver-shelled beetles, and the gold and silver beetles that have not yet fought.
Richard narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the army of insects. He raised his hand and Ring No. 3 was activated again.
What was released this time was no longer a series of explosions, but ice fragments.
The extremely humid air in the hall suddenly surged, and a large number of water molecules condensed, turning into a diamond-shaped light blue ice cube and falling into Richard's palm.
With a "click", a fragment the size of a finger peeled off from the ice and hit the beetle at the front like a bullet.
"Boo! Poof!"
The black beetle rushing at the front, as the weakest member of the insect swarm, had little defense at all. It was directly shot through its body by sharp ice fragments and was nailed to the ground. It struggled for a few times and became motionless.
"Wow!"
The ice fragments nailed to the beetle's body automatically shattered, and the cold air contained exploded, covering a small area around it, causing the other beetles around it to slow down.
The insect swarm, which was originally marching together with great momentum, immediately had a disharmonious depression. Fortunately, the subsequent beetles quickly filled in and continued to attack.
Insects come in and people retreat.
Richard stepped back, and while retreating, he controlled the ice cubes in his hands to continue to crack, shooting out one piece after another at the insect army.
What Richard did was not really to kill the beetles - if he really wanted to kill the beetles, it would be more effective to use serial explosions.
The reason why ice fragments are used is actually to disconnect the forward speed of the insect swarm from the overall speed, slow down the progress of subsequent beetles, and eventually make all the beetles huddle together to maximize the number of beetles per unit area.
In this case…
Richard condensed another light blue ice cube, held it in his hand, and fired ice fragments from both hands, which greatly slowed down the insect swarm. He exited Hall No. 1 step by step and retreated to the deliberately transformed In the corridor of "Three-section Gourd".
By the time all the ice cubes in both hands were consumed, Richard had passed through the first section of the "Gourd" and reached the narrow checkpoint between the first and second sections.
Blinking his eyes, Richard discovered that the insect swarm army had already filled the first "belly" of the "gourd" half full.
"Not bad." Richard said in his heart, "But... it can be a little more extreme."
With this thought in his mind, Richard raised his hand, the fourth ring was activated for the first time, and the Greasy Swamp spell was released.
"puff-"
A large amount of viscous black oily liquid suddenly appeared on the ground of the corridor where numerous insect swarms were pouring in. Some weak black beetles were directly stuck to the mucus and could not move. Some of the more powerful silver-striped beetles struggled to crawl out of the liquid, but their speed was greatly slowed down. At this time, the following beetles rushed up impatiently, stepped on the bodies of their companions in the liquid unceremoniously, and continued to move forward. However, accidentally, their feet slipped and they immediately fell into the liquid, paving the way for the beetles behind them. stone.
"Hua Hua Hua..."
The army of insects came one after another, relying on their numerical advantage to cover the slime on the ground, approaching the narrow pass where Richard was, and prepared to launch an attack.
After seeing this, Richard showed no fear. With a flick of his finger, a dark red spark as big as a date flew out, hit the swarm of insects, and then exploded.
"Boom! Wow!"
The moment the explosion occurred, it was like a balloon filled with flames being popped. The entire corridor in front of Richard's level quickly burned. The high-temperature flames were like the tongue of an ancient ferocious beast. Wherever it licked, the beetles screamed and struggled to death.
The combined power of greasy swamp and fire is revealed!
You know, although the Greasy Swamp was covered by the insect army, it did not disappear at all and has always existed. In the process of being covered by the insect swarm, many beetles were stained with thick oily liquid, which was like unstable bombs in the insect swarm. Once triggered by high temperatures, the fire will instantly spread to the beetles in the entire corridor, making it impossible to stop it.
So, in just a few moments, hundreds of beetles were killed in the flames.
Of course, hundreds of beetles are just a drop in the bucket compared to the huge army of insects. The death of their companions did not arouse any fear in the remaining beetles. They continued to rush forward with their screams, rushing into the burning flames without fear of death, preparing to forcibly extinguish the flames. Lose.
Richard watched expressionlessly, raised his hand and released the second "Greasy Swamp". The flames that had just slowed down immediately seemed like a sleeping beast waking up, and mercilessly devoured the beetles that rushed into the field.
"Crack crack crack!"
After a while, the corridor exuded a disgusting stench of burning. The section of corridor in front of Richard was covered with a large number of burnt beetle corpses, densely packed, at least thousands.
