"Since high-level monsters are afraid of these god insect powder, why don't we carry some on our bodies, so that we can avoid encountering high-level monsters?" Eugene couldn't help asking curiously.
"I'll tell you after I leave here." Ian said with a solemn expression, "The whole team is ready to advance at full speed and enter the deserted area." After speaking, he gave Martin a wink, and the two of them moved forward first, quickly crossed the border, and entered the deserted area. In the zone, proceed at full speed in a straight line.
Du Dian's eyes flickered slightly, followed closely behind.
He noticed that there were many red heat spots near the place where the god insect powder smelled, especially in some soils, among the remains of the ruins, and in the dense tall grass.
"Luna, Du Dian, if there is any situation, report it immediately." Ian said in a low voice as he moved forward.
Luna and Du Dian nodded slightly, followed behind them, in the middle of the team, while Ruby, Rosemary, and Eugene were at the end of the team, protecting Du Dian and Luna. In the wilderness, perception Teammates with abilities are usually the key protection objects in the team.
"There is a monster in the direction of 2:30 ahead."
"There are monsters at ten o'clock."
On the way forward, Du Dian will continue to report to Ian the location of some monsters that will be encountered on the path. As for the monsters in other distant directions, there is no need to report.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight minutes had passed since everyone entered the barren area. Although they occasionally chose to take a detour after encountering monsters, they were still more than 30 kilometers away from the boundary line drawn by the god insect powder.
The speed at which Ian and Martin lead the team gradually slowed down. While moving forward at full speed, everyone consumed a lot of physical energy and needed to recover in time to maintain their best condition at all times.
After the speed slowed down, Ian took the time to respond to Eugene's previous question, saying: "Although the insect powder can disperse high-level monsters, it has a fatal temptation for ordinary monsters. Usually near the border, there will be Gather a large number of ordinary monsters. Of course, the ordinary monsters referred to here are not those small monsters with a hunting level of seven or eight that inhabit the green wasteland, but ordinary monsters in our area."
Eugene was stunned for a moment, and when he understood, he rolled his eyes and said, "If that's the case, can't we use the insect powder as bait, make traps, and wipe out all these monsters in one go? This way, the speed of cleaning monsters should be improved. Many times."
Ian nodded and said: "The idea is good. Some people have thought about it before, but it is very difficult to make a trap that can kill these monsters with a hunting level above 30. It requires too many materials. It’s too risky to transport the wall here, Xiao Du should be aware of this, you are a hunter, you should have learned how to make traps, right?”
Seeing him talking about himself, Du Dian said: "Yes, if you just make traps to kill monsters with a hunting level of more than ten levels, and use the resources in the wilderness, you can barely do it."
The so-called trap is nothing more than using the destructive power of the surrounding environment to deal with the enemy. And in this wilderness environment, if you want to make a trap, you can only dig a hole or throw it with the help of a boulder, and such a trap will have a greatly reduced effect on hunting monsters with a hunting level of 30 or above. This is also the case among advanced hunters. The reason why the hunter profession is not popular. But at the boundary level, the environment faced and the monsters encountered lead to a further reduction in the role of the hunter profession. They can only cooperate with their teammates and secretly shoot cold arrows behind them. They can neither fight alone nor have the ability to become the core of the team.
Like Graili, whom Du Dian knew, she was also an archer at the beginning, but when she became a senior hunter, she successfully transformed into an assassin.
Cooperating with her black weaver magic scar ability, lurking assassination, she can often lead a team to survive alone in the wilderness, and can hunt and kill monsters much higher than her physique alone.
But Du Dian is still a traditional hunter. He fights with bows and arrows, and he suffers from weapons alone. The higher the physique of the archer, the higher the requirements for the bow. After all, whether one can use one's own strength is no longer a matter of accuracy, but the penetrating power of the arrow!
Accuracy has long been a basic requirement among the boundary practitioners.
As for the penetration force, it all depends on a bow.
However, this is only the value of the traditional hunter late game in this world. When Du Dian still chose bows and arrows, he had already taken these into consideration. For him, there are many ways to create monsters with a hunting level of 30 or even higher, but these methods are not suitable for Ian and the others. If you use it, it is easy to expose your own details.
"And." Ian continued: "The god insect powder has always been managed by the top management, even the big shots at the deacon level, can't touch the god insect powder, let alone us ordinary Longhuangwei."
Eugene was speechless, and said: "Since this thing is so precious, they still sprinkled it directly on the border. How much do they have to sprinkle? It's too wasteful, isn't it?"
Ian shrugged and said, "Do you think it's a waste to spend resources on casting giant walls?"
Hearing this, Eugene immediately understood that the boundary drawn by the god insect powder is like an invisible giant wall, blocking high-level monsters, so no matter how much god insect powder you spend, it won't hurt your heart, but if you give this resource to These people seem too extravagant.
"Captain, why don't we go back and get some magic insect powder secretly?" Eugene turned his eyes and said, "Just seal it up, so the smell won't leak out. If you encounter a high-level monster, you can take it out." Isn't it a free life-saving ace?"
"It's useless." Ian shook his head, "Although high-level monsters hate the smell of the worm powder, it doesn't mean that the worm powder can really stop the high-level monsters, otherwise there will be no monsters from the barren area sneaking out occasionally. Wait. We met with a high-level monster and attracted its attention. Even the smell of the god insect powder can hardly dispel its desire to hunt. It's like we hate dirty places full of excrement, but if there is gold in it, If there are treasures, will we still hate them? We will just suppress the nausea and pick out the things inside."
Eugene was startled, smiled wryly, and said, "It seems that the joy was for nothing."
"Everyone can think of what you can think of. No one is a fool." Martin, who was walking alongside Ian, said coldly.
Eugene smiled wryly and stopped talking.
"The mark I left before has disappeared." Luna said suddenly.
Hearing this, Ian and Martin paused slightly and turned to look at her. Ian said, "How far is it?"
"At eleven o'clock ahead, about twenty miles away." Luna frowned slightly, shaking her head slightly, and said, "It may have been washed away by the disaster rain, after all, when the mark was left, it was executed last time." There was almost half a year between missions."
Ian looked solemnly, and said: "Don't be careless, your mark is not so easy to be washed away by disaster rain."
Luna asked, "Why don't we take a detour?"
Ian pondered for a while, and looked around, surrounded by a ruined city. In the distance, the outlines of dark green mountains could be seen, surrounding the periphery of the ruined city. The sky was hazy and humid.
"The Wind Listener is a rare named monster in the Monster Manual." Ian frowned. Soft and wet places, like to eat rotten things, including rotting plant leaves, but the favorite is rotting flesh and blood corpses."
"This generation is the western part of the No. 3 orange barren area, and it is also an area with heavy humidity. It should be lurking somewhere around this ruined city."
Martin nodded and said, "It's difficult for us to find it. We can only follow the old rules and let it come out to find us. But in this way, it will easily attract other monsters with similar tastes. Everyone, be ready to fight."
Ian nodded slightly, glanced at a tall building nearby, and immediately climbed up from the outside of the tall building. The tall building was covered with vines, and it looked as if it was supported by vines. He climbed to the top and looked at it for a while, then returned Go downstairs and say to everyone: "Go to the west, the fog there is heavier."
Said, took the lead to go.
Du Dian and Luna followed closely behind, responsible for guiding the way.
Avoiding some fiery monsters along the way, and occasionally meeting some walking corpses, or monsters with a hunting level of more than ten levels, Ian led the team to kill them directly, or throw them away, without deliberately hunting them.
Du Dian followed the team and experienced the work of Longhuangwei. He suddenly understood why there were so many monsters in the barren area that had been opened up outside the giant wall. Now the reason is clear. The pioneers are only responsible for killing high-level Monsters, while the Boundaries only hunted and killed mission monsters, and didn't bother to care about the rest of the monsters, which would waste unnecessary physical energy.
However, these monsters survived in the end and multiplied more and more.
"Hey!" Everyone passed by the corner of the ruined street, and suddenly saw a monster pointed out by Du Dian. Ian was surprised when he saw its appearance, and then smiled: "It turned out to be a rare name-given monster in the growth stage. ", good luck. "
All the hard-working people saw this monster with a smile on their faces. The rare parasitic soul worm named monster can be exchanged for two hundred medals in the clan, and if it is a rare monster, it can be exchanged for one thousand medals.
"Eugene, Du Dian, which of you two is going to kill?" Ian said with a smile: "You have to hurry up, let it run away."
Eugene said excitedly: "I'll go." After speaking, he raised his saber and rushed forward.
This growth-stage cytoplasma has a hunting level between eighteen and twenty-five. It has a humanoid body and several head-like tumors. Each tumor is covered with foul-smelling mucus and seeps with a light yellow liquid, like It's bile, full of stink, its sharp claws are like branches, uneven in length, but very sharp, and its body stands crookedly, looking extremely terrifying.
If it is a full body cytoplasm, the hunting level will reach fifty-seven, and it can easily kill a high-level limiter, but the one in front of him is far from the full body, and needs to be transformed two more times.
"Hiss!" Seeing Eugene rushing forward, the Cytoplasma opened its mouth and roared. The central abdomen of its body was split open and full of sharp teeth, and its body suddenly shot out to meet Eugene.
Eugene's movements were nimble, and he easily dodged the frontal pounce of the cytoplasmic person. While passing by, he swung his backhand. On the back of his battle armor.
He got short, stopped quickly, turned back and stabbed out with a saber, instantly piercing through the body of the cytoplasmic person, then shook his arm, widened the wound and at the same time drew the saber quickly, raised his foot and kicked him out of balance Lean forward.
At the same time, he quickly caught up, and the saber slashed at several tumors on its body.
Before coming to the barren area, he also did a lot of homework and memorized the monster atlas. He knew that the fatal part of the cytoplasm was these few sarcoma, which could breed small cytoplasm. A parthenogenetic monster.
The battle ended quickly. After all, Eugene is a primary boundary person, able to fight monsters with a hunting level of forty. Although this named monster is stronger than ordinary monsters of the same level, its overall combat power is only a hunting level of thirty. A difference of ten hunting levels means crushing.
After killing the Cytoplasma, Eugene took a parasitic soul worm from its blood and put it in a bottle in his backpack.
Everyone will wear this special bottle for storing parasitic soul worms before they come out, in case they are lucky to have something to hold.
Back in front of everyone, Eugene smiled and said, "This little thing is quite flexible."
Ian smiled slightly and said, "Let's go, the smell of blood is too strong here, so don't attract other monsters." After speaking, he led the team and walked quickly along the street.
After everyone left this street for a long time, the body of the cytoplasmic person lying in the middle of the street trembled slightly, and then seemed to be dragged by something into the darkness of the alley next to it, and then there was a burst of bone chewing sound.
After beheading the cytoplasm, Du Dian and others encountered many monsters one after another. Among them, the number of walking corpses was the largest, and occasionally they encountered flying monsters. These flying monsters hovered in the sky, and occasionally swooped down, grabbing a Pick up walking corpses or unknown monsters, fly into the sky, and disappear into the distance.
It was getting dark.
Ian stopped on his way and led Du Dian and others to find a ruined basement to live in. The area was full of dust and cobwebs, as well as some dry and sticky slurry, which seemed to be the saliva and feces left by some monsters. Obviously, this place used to be Inhabited by monsters.
However, judging from the traces of dry and hard mucus left behind, the monsters living here have long since left.
"Treat the blood on your body." Ian said to the others while wiping the blood on the armor with a grass brush rolled up by vines on the roadside.
Eugene, Rosemary, Martin and others silently wiped the blood on the armor. They knew that the danger outside the wall would gradually come. The chances of coming to high-level monsters will be greater.
"We have reached the edge of the city, and there is a mountain in front of us." Ian said while wiping his armor, "Judging from the humidity in the air, the mountain we are going to tomorrow should be the most humid place around here. The wind is likely to be lurking there, take a rest tonight, and tomorrow will be the real battle."
