The huge casualties did not hinder the insect swarm army. The insect swarm army continued to attack. Led by many double silver-striped beetles and even silver-shelled beetles, it burst into speed and rushed towards the narrow checkpoint.
Richard continued to release the Greasy Swamp spell and continued to eliminate the beetles with an expressionless expression. During this process, if a beetle is found that has passed through the flames, jumped into the level, and threatened him, he will unceremoniously release ice fragments to kill him, or he will use wind repulsion to beat the beetle back into the flames. Since then, even the extremely difficult silver-shelled beetle cannot survive a few times before turning into a charred corpse.
"Hoo ho ho!"
The flames kept burning.
"Whoosh!"
The insect swarm army attacked with all its strength.
Standing in the narrow checkpoint, Richard felt extremely calm, once he was no longer worried about the danger of the insect swarm. The extremely narrow level is specially designed to restrain the numerical advantage of the insect swarm. With the existence of a narrow level, even if the beetle army tries its best, it will not be able to squeeze in many beetles. The numerical advantage is completely offset, and it can only survive in the flames. They died in batches.
Of course, the insect swarm army also has ways to solve this problem.
Richard noticed that after losing a large number of individuals, the insect swarm army no longer attacked him blindly, but instead began to purposefully destroy levels. Some beetles even dug downwards, trying to dig a passage across the level to his back.
"Crack, crackle, crackle..."
"Wow, wow, wow..."
"Swish, swish, swish..."
Accompanied by the sound of the beetle's body burning, the sound of the level being crazily destroyed and the sound of the ground being rapidly excavated kept ringing.
Finally, when Richard released another spell attack, the narrow barrier built with "Earth and Stone Control" collapsed, and a large number of beetles rushed out of the sea of fire, screaming. The ground beneath Richard's feet and behind him also cracked, and several beetles successfully dug out passages and came out to attack.
Richard was not much surprised by this. He was completely mentally prepared for the insect swarm to achieve this step, otherwise he would not have designed the corridor into a three-section gourd shape. The three-section gourd shape represents the existence of three levels. After losing the levels in the first and second quarters, there are still levels between the second and third quarters, and the level at the end of the third quarter.
The next moment, Richard opened and closed his lips, chanted a spell, and released a powerful wind repulsion, knocking away all the approaching attacking beetles. Then, the body flew back and quickly retreated to the second level.
If the beetle had relatively high intelligence and could understand Richard's arrangement, he would definitely get angry, or he would give up the attack and think of another idea while yelling at Richard for being shameless. But the beetle's intelligence is obviously not that high, and it only has very basic instincts and stress responses. After suddenly losing the target of attack, Richard was stunned for a moment, then locked onto Richard again, crawled towards Richard, and launched an attack.
"Pfft-"
While approaching Richard, at some point, a familiar black oily mucus appeared on the ground. The beetle stepped on it with difficulty and was quickly stuck to it. Some lucky ones stepped on the bodies of their companions, but soon fell into the slime, and were then stepped on by their companions further behind. In a moment, many beetles had stuck into a ball, and black oily mucus splashed everywhere.
At this time, a dark red spark fell, expanded rapidly, and exploded.
"call-"
The ferocious flames devoured everything, and the terrifying high temperature burned every beetle's body. The previous scene reappeared.
…
After a long, long time.
Richard stood in the third level. In front of him was a hell-like scene: insect corpses piled up, a charred mess, broken soil clods scattered messily on the ground, and small clusters of flames hiding quietly in the corners. combustion.
Not far behind is the exit. Under the influence of the air pressure difference, strong winds continue to pour in, slightly dispersing the strong smell of the burnt beetle carcasses.
It has to be said that the number of beetles is really terrifying. As an arsonist, Richard has been setting fires until now, and he has finally eliminated all the beetles. If he really fights at close range, he will probably kill them for several months. OK.
There were dangers encountered during the arson. The gold and silver beetles teamed up with the silver-shelled beetles to collectively cross the sea of fire and launch an attack, directly bulldozing the second level, forcing Richard to retreat to the third level.
But that was all. Facts have proved that no matter how powerful the beetles are, they cannot withstand the long-term flames. When the third level turned into a defensive position again, the high-temperature corridor in front of the position became the burial place for the last remaining beetles. Place.
Taking a deep breath, Richard stepped forward, stepping forward with his boots on the still hot corridor. As I walked, I looked at the piles of insect corpses and thought: With so many beetles living in this tomb, how do they maintain their food intake? What kind of special ecological environment will there be deep in this tomb
With this thought, Richard walked into Hall No. 1, where everything was quiet.
With a faint scarlet luster in his eyes, Richard carefully scanned the entire hall. After finding nothing special, he walked into the opposite new corridor that continued deeper.
Compared with the original first corridor, the new and second corridor is nothing special, it is just slightly wider.
Staying vigilant, Richard reached the end of the corridor in a short time, and then saw the second hall appearing - Hall No. 2.
Hall No. 2 is nearly a thousand square meters in size and more than four meters high. It is larger than Hall No. 1 as a whole, and is a bit empty and cold.
Richard's eyes flashed slightly, and he was a little confused about the meaning of the existence of the hall. Just as he was wondering if there would be Hall No. 3 or Hall No. 4 if he walked down the hall, he heard a familiar yet slightly different voice.
"Shashasha..."
this!
Richard raised his eyebrows and felt wary: Could it be another insect swarm army
He had just wiped out the first batch of insect swarm armies and had almost destroyed the three levels. If a new batch of insect swarm armies really came, he would have to retreat temporarily.
Thinking like this, Richard saw a dozen brown scorpions more than thirty centimeters long crawling out from the third corridor opposite the hall quickly, with their tails raised high in an attacking posture.
"Are they scorpions? There are more than a dozen... This is easier to deal with. As long as there is no scorpion army following, it should be easier to deal with." With this idea, Richard waved his hand and released the spell without much hesitation.
"call out!"
Sparks as big as dates flew out, exploded, gave birth to new sparks, and exploded again.
Magic pattern spell·zero-level high-level·two consecutive explosions!
This is Richard's test, to test Scorpion's strength. The result of the test made Richard's eyes become serious - none of the more than ten scorpions were dead.
Originally, Richard thought that if they were ordinary scorpions, a zero-level high-level spell would be enough to kill them all. But the fact is that the body of the scorpion was shaken by the explosion and the shell was burnt, without causing any substantial damage.
The scorpion seemed to be enraged after being attacked by this sudden attack. Under Richard's solemn gaze, a hidden scorpion tail stretched out from the abdomen, standing vertically - both tails stood together, and the tail hooks emitted a dazzling cold light!
Then, the scorpion's body made a sharp and strange sound, and its shell quickly changed color, like electroplating, from brown to gold in the blink of an eye.
Two-tailed golden scorpion!
Demonized creature!
