Volume 4 Chapter 52 Deep
The destruction of the first hive means that Shi Leiyin will encounter more Dhaka creatures on his next journey.
Dhaka Biotech has a special ability to share information. According to the information from the Demon Realm, this kind of information sharing is not able to convey a very clear message. But it can be transmitted between each Dhaka hive regardless of distance and obstacles. When the Demon Realm first cleared out the creatures of Dhaka, it was discovered that when a hive was attacked, several nodes of the nest distributed in the vicinity of it would enter a state of combat readiness. And when the hive is eliminated, the previously prepared hive will enter a state of rapid production, increasing its own garrison strength to more than five times the original one.
At the same time, all creatures in Dhaka near the hive that receive the information will greatly increase their desire to attack, and even the Scout Blade Worm will take the initiative to attack nearby threatening creatures.
Although Shrayin was destroying a newborn hive that had just been established, it is conceivable that at least all of the Dhaka creatures and Dhaka hives in the second layer would be in combat readiness. Judging from the information obtained by the Demon Realm, even the hive of the third layer may enter combat readiness mode.
Although Shi Leiyin can wait for the Dhaka creatures to calm down from combat readiness mode by hiding the way. But firstly, this time is longer, and secondly, Shi Leiyin originally held the situation that the main purpose was to disguise himself as to destroy the low-level worm nest. Therefore, he chose to fight the attacking Dhaka creatures head-on while moving in the direction of the possibility of another hive.
Neither Junor Sheffield nor Ku objected to Shi Leiyin's choice. The probability of an intelligent Dhaka creature appearing in the secret realm of the Stone Forest is very high, and even if it is not an intelligent Dhaka creature, the existence that was once a flash in the pan on the surveillance camera must also have intelligence. Although Shi Leiyin's plan is very simple, it is precisely because of this that it is easier to hide from enemies with high enough intelligence. Even, if Shi Leiyin succeeds in destroying a large number of insect nests in the secret territory of the Stone Forest, that object with wisdom is likely to take the initiative to appear in front of Shi Leiyin - Shi Leiyin's appearance is too deceptive. If it weren't for the existence of a body of the Institutional Species, he could even disguise himself as an ordinary monster with a strength of less than ten levels. Of course, if the real disguise is like that and it can destroy the hive, this will be exposed.
According to Juno, sapient Dhaka creatures are fond of encountering Akers who act alone or in pairs, which is why it is stipulated that Akers must form a team of four or more people as much as possible to explore the creatures of Dhaka.
With Shi Leiyin now maintaining the appearance of the Akers of the Arks Race, this kind of Akers, who can act alone and exert their super strength, is definitely the best target for intelligent Dhaka creatures to come into contact with.
"I'm sorry now that I didn't equip you with a weapon of the Institutional Species," Juno sighed, "It would be even more curious if you could use these strengths while using the Photon Weapon." ”
"Don't put Magu away if you don't have to," Juno added, "As a solo Akers, Magu is the best partner, and taking Magu with you can reduce suspicion of your identity......"
"But if you don't bring it, you can arouse curiosity more," Shi Leiyin said that Juno couldn't slow down for a long time.
"This idea is good, but you have to be careful not to lead people out, but instead knock out the opponent's creeps and take them away" Ku Youqing reminded Shi Leiyin, although she knew that with the information known so far, there was no ordinary Dhaka creature that could match the strength of a demon king-level monster. Even if it is a group fight, it can only be defeated, but it cannot capture or kill the existence of the demon king. And although Shi Leiyin is a new demon king, he was seriously injured by one in the state of rampage, and his record of lightly injuring three veteran demon kings is enough to prove his actual combat power.
"Thank you for the reminder" For the care of the library's performance, Shi Leiyin is still quite useful. Compared to Juno, who only cared about the chances of success, and Sheffield, who were silent, at least Ku cared about his own situation. "Next time, help her with the task and collect less benefits," Shi Leiyin thought.
Turning off Magu's communication, Shi Leiyin thought about it and decided to leave Magu outside. The second layer is more dangerous than the first, but it lacks the annoying active plants. Magu's size is not an easy prey for second-tier predators, and even if he is occasionally attacked, he is generally much better than he was in the first tier, where he could barely move an inch.
After taking Magu forward for a while, Shi Leiyin found that Magu was indeed a relatively easy to use biological detection device in Dhaka. When confronted by the creatures of Dhaka, Magu was able to spot most of the hidden Daka Blade Worms even earlier than Shrein. It also reacts to wild monsters that are infected with spores and have grown flowers on their heads, which are only one step away from being alienated.
In order to avoid the sudden alienation of these wild monsters into powerful Dhaka creatures when attacking the lair, Shi Leiyin killed these wild monsters very neatly - the level of the monsters in the second layer is also not too high, and although the monsters are more difficult to deal with before the alienation, the level will not increase, and killing these wild monsters is even easier than the bladed insects that were cleared when attacking the lair before.
It's just that the type is a bit puzzling to Shi Leiyin. The outer three layers of the Stone Forest Secret Realm are larger, almost twice as large as the sum of the six layers of the middle and inner rings. At the same time, the number of creatures inside has been deliberately adjusted through artificial construction, but in fact, the number of wild monsters inside is more dense than other wild monsters in the same area. Especially in terms of the proportion of monsters of different levels and different types of food, the Stone Forest Secret Realm has obvious traces of artificial adjustment, and the proportion of carnivorous monsters at the top of the food chain far exceeds the natural proportion.
However, almost all of the infected monsters that Shi Leiyin encountered were plant-eating or omnivorous monsters. The most common ones are deer monsters and ostrich-like birds. On the contrary, very few carnivorous monsters were infected, and only a few carnivorous monsters encountered by Shi Leiyin showed signs of being infected.
Judging from the invasion of the secret realm of life and the invasion of the creatures of Dhaka in the Demon Realm, the infection and erosion of Dhaka creatures does not distinguish between objects. It is often the case that all subjects of the same body type in an area are infected, and although the symptoms of infection will vary in severity or severity, the infected organisms in the same area will reach the same degree of infection in close proximity to each other, and will almost simultaneously become Dhaka organisms.
However, the second layer now only has carnivorous monsters, and the symptoms of infection are very mild, as if the carnivorous monsters were deliberately spared. This made Shi Leiyin a little more convinced of the existence of intelligent Dhaka creatures. Obviously, this is a deliberate attempt to keep the carnivorous monsters that pose a greater threat to foreign enemies, and to allow the plant-eating and omnivorous monsters to survive the fragile state of alienation while maintaining the level of regional threat, so as to ensure the control of the Dhaka creatures over the region. Without enough intelligence and thinking skills, it is impossible to make such delicate decisions on instinct.
