Chapter 289: Marching Bugs
As a result, as soon as Lin Xi's words fell, the knight chief Karui on the side looked at us and said, "Young adventurer, you look like you have nothing to do, in this case, can you accept a task from the old man?" ”
"Oh?"
Lin Ximei's eyes widened, and she immediately turned around with a smile: "My lord, tell me, what do you need us to do?" ”
"That's right."
The old knight's voice was very long, and he said in a deep voice: "Just a month ago, we sent a scout cavalry of about three hundred people to the northern region to explore the situation of the lost land of Fluorescent Town, which was originally one of the important towns in the north of the empire, and there were 200,000 stones of grain and grass that originally belonged to Linchen County under Fluorescent Town, but it was captured by the Alien Demon Legion, and now, the scout cavalry has not heard back for a month, I am afraid that it has been unexpected." ”
As he spoke, he looked at us with deep eyes: "You are all adventurers with unique skills, can you go to Fluorescent Town for the old man to find out, and if you see that scout cavalry, help the old man bring them back, okay?" If you are able to defeat the alien army in Fluorescent Town, the old man has every right to give you higher glory and rewards. ”
For a while, Lin Xi's voice trembled with joy: "Big ...... My lord, we accept the task! ”
……
"Ding!"
System Prompt: Your Squad has accepted the mission Glowing Town (SS)!
Mission: Go to the northern town of Glow, rescue the trapped scout cavalry, and destroy the enemies who occupy Glow, and get the opportunity to transfer food for the Imperial Legions.
……
"It's another SS-class mission!"
I carried the Silver Sea Sword, with a smile on my face: "Not bad~~~ Today, it seems that we are going to have a bumper harvest in experience points, gold coins and reputation points." ”
"Yes."
Lin Xi smiled: "And if you're lucky, there will be additional rewards, it's so exciting!" ”
I laughed, "Then ...... Let's go? The coordinates of Glowing Town are marked on the mission map. ”
"Well, let's go!"
So, the five-person team set off again, this time the target is deeper than the bloody ice field, Fluorescent Town is nearly half an hour's journey from our current border, it seems that the Xuanyuan Empire has indeed lost too much city and land in the battle with the alien demon territory, it can be said that it is losing and retreating, if it is not for the Eight Desolation Marquis Lin Huang is ruthless enough, I am afraid that the national border will continue to move south, and soon the entire Far Eastern Province will be eaten away by the alien demon army, and the situation will be even worse at that time.
Along the way, we came across deserted villages, uninhabited for a long time, overgrown with weeds, even the wells had completely dried up, and there were even traces of the battles on the ground, and before long we were standing in front of a village, the walls at the entrance of the village were littered with rotten armor, swords and round shields, and the owners of which were long gone.
Lin Xi walked forward with his sword, looked at the scene in front of him, frowned slightly, and said after a long time: "Once, in the version of "Mandate of Heaven", at least there were Flowing Frost and Cold Desolate Dragon Towns guarding the northern border, becoming a natural barrier for the Terran Race, resisting the Alien Demon Legion in the north, but now it is different, the Cold Desolation Dragon City has long ceased to exist, and human beings can only rely on Terran princes like the Eight Desolation Marquis to guard the Northern Regions. ”
Shen Mingxuan said: "I'm afraid it won't last long." ”
I said indifferently: "The Eight Desolation Marquis Lin Huang is already one of the fiercest of the twelve marquis of the empire, if even he can't defend it, I'm afraid the loss of the Far East Province will only be a matter of time." ”
"There will be a turnaround."
Lin Xi turned around and smiled at me and said, "After all, after our level is raised, the secondary main city will be about to open, and our next target is the general capital of the Far Eastern Province, the secondary main city of Dongyang City, if the Far Eastern Province is lost, we may have nowhere to go." ”
"Hmm."
I nodded: "There are always more ways than difficulties, and there is hope if we don't give up." ”
"Yes."
She chuckled, "Let's go, it's already close to Fluorescent Town." ”
"Hmm!"
……
Walking through a wet, rotting jungle, we came to the edge of the woodland and there was a small river in front of us, which was fast, but not very wide, twenty meters wide at most.
"Looks like we're going to wade through the water." I say.
"Well, let's go."
A group of people went into the water and swam through the water, and when we reached the other side of the river, we saw a small town appear in the dark woodland in front of us, it was Fluorescent Town, but at this moment Fluorescent Town was not fluorescent, some were just the smell of death, and the whole town looked like it was polluted.
"Rustling ......"
Suddenly, footsteps were heard in the woodland outside Fluorescent Town, followed by a figure running wildly.
"Look, someone!" Tony held out his hand.
Everyone looked over together, only to see that the man was wearing soft armor, with the dragon-shaped badge of the Xuanyuan Empire tattooed on his chest, holding a short sword in his hand, and his combat boots were lost, and he rushed out barefoot, covered in scars and bloodstains!
"Up!"
I rode my horse and said, "It should be the scout cavalry mentioned in the mission!" ”
However, at the moment when I rushed over, the Terran soldier waved his hand frantically and shouted, "Don't come here! Come on! Come on! They're coming, let's go! ”
"What's the situation?"
I stopped frowning and did not go any further, when a rustling sound came from the woods, and suddenly a fiery red spread over the earth, and it swept over the ground.
"What...... What the heck? Lin Xitan's mouth opened slightly, stunned.
I suddenly opened the eyes of the Ten Directions Fire Wheel, and suddenly saw clearly, the blood-red that covered the ground and chased the Terran soldiers was an ant the size of a football, which was crawling fiercely at this time, and there was even an ant lying on the soldier's shoulder, frantically gnawing on his armor, trying to bite through the shoulder armor.
In the next second, Lin Xi also saw the attributes of the monster clearly, and shared it directly in the team channel-
[Marching Bug] (Rare Monster)
Grade: 82
Attack: 6600-8250
Defense: 3500
Qi and blood: 200,000
Skills: [Devour] [Venom Attack] [Teamwork]
Introduction: Marching insects, ant colonies from purgatory, these ant colonies have an incomparably powerful reproductive ability, they obey the orders of the alien demon army, and launch encroachment attacks on the Terran territory again and again, most of the Terran villages and towns are destroyed, in fact, it is the credit of these marching insects, they devour everything, and anything can be used as food
……
"I'll ......"
Tony was shocked: "There are so many rare monsters, what should I do?" If they swarmed us, we wouldn't have a chance at all. ”
"Yes."
I hurriedly turned around: "Lin Xi, let's retreat!?" ”
"Hmm!"
Lin Xi nodded quickly: "Retreat, fight by the water, since these marching insects belong to the ant colony, then the water does not belong to their heaven and earth, the reason why the ant colony of the alien demons has not been able to continue to move south, it should be the credit of the river behind us, hurry up, let's retreat to the river and find a way to kill them!" ”
"Well, that's what I thought too!"
I directly pulled the reins, rode my horse and rushed to the front of the Terran soldier, and with a sword helped him cut off the marching worm on his shoulder, and said, "You go first, I will be behind." ”
"Be careful, young man!"
He showed gratitude, and quickly rushed towards Lin Xi and the others, while I was facing the marching insects that continued to invade in front of me is a sword sacred storm, "boom", the sacred storm swept through the monster group, causing 3W+ damage to the monomer, I have to say, the attributes of the marching insects are too weak, the defense is low, and the blood volume is even the level of blue and even green monsters, it is too easy to kill, but there are many of them, once they are surrounded, I am afraid they will not be able to run away.
Turn around and run!
Running all the way to the river, when I turned again, a large number of marching insects were overwhelming, but when they approached the rushing water, they stopped moving, their blood-red tentacles swaying up and down, as if they had an innate fear of water.
"Attack, fight with AOE skills!"
Lin Xi gave an order, rushed forward directly, and swept out the sword blade storm skill, "Peng" with a loud bang, countless marching insects were swept into the sky in the sword blade storm, and the blood bar disappeared by more than half in an instant, Lin Xi's sword blade storm damage was too high, all more than 100,000 damage, and Gu Ruyi's flame vortex completed the harvest, just on the flame residue after the flame vortex raged, a large number of residual blood marching insects fell to the ground, and our experience points flew up!
That's right, the marching worm has little blood and low defense, but it is a real level 82 rare monster! As long as you use the terrain to contain them, you can brush experience infinitely, and it is an absolute experience beast, just like in front of you, this blood-red marching insect has spread for nearly a mile or two, and if you kill them all, you will definitely be able to earn a wave of experience points in blood!
"This experience is worth ...... It's so cool, isn't it?! ”
Shen Mingxuan's beautiful eyes smiled like a crescent moon, raised the orange bow, and shot out the Ice Arrow Rain skill, which is also the AOE skill of the marksman, wisps of frost arrows fell from the sky, causing excess damage to a large area of marching insects, and then cooperated with Lin Xi and Gu Ruyi's AOE damage, and finally completed the harvest of experience points.
This time, the battle by the river has become the home of Gu Ruyi and Shen Mingxuan, although Lin Xi's sword storm is strong, but after all, the cooldown time is as long as 25 seconds, and Gu Ruyi and Shen Mingxuan's flame vortex, ice and arrow rain skills can be fired continuously, constantly wreaking havoc in the monster group, harvesting a lot of experience, for a while, Lin Xi, Tony's mouth and I are about to laugh together.
The monster of the marching insect is simply an extreme, either to earn or to lose, if our team did not retreat decisively at the first time, it may have been surrounded, and finally all died under the gnawing of the marching insects, even if it was me, I am not sure if I can stop it, the size of the marching insects is small, and the collision volume is also small, as long as it is surrounded, basically at least dozens of marching insects can attack me, no matter how high the defense is, it can't be stopped, after all, people's blood is less and the defense is low, but the attack is not low!
