Act Three: Frostfall Rebellion Chapter 17: Scarlet Moon [Night Crisis]

Compared to Team B, the darkening of the sky has no effect on Team A for the time being, but this does not bode well, because it is a complete simulation of the wilderness, so it is likely that the next three days, they will have to face night.

Although the tactical lenses can be adjusted to night vision, they need to consume a lot of energy under continuous use, and night is an excellent time for some beasts to raid, so for the two teams, the difficulties they need to face next can be said to have increased by more than a star.

The first to go wrong was Team B, although Long Muyun had a lot of experience in wilderness exploration, but in such a dark night, some existences were unguardable, such as the weird black fog that Ressa and others encountered before.

When approaching the outskirts of the city, Natasha was ready to take Long Muyun's suggestion and take the underground waterway to enter the city. Before that, though, they were attacked by surprise.

The first to be attacked was Eluve, who was in the middle of the group, the darkness around her was silent, and even with the night vision device activated, she could still see very little distance, so by the time she heard a slight flapping of wings, it was too late.

A strange black mist suddenly rose from her side, enveloping her right hand. At this time, you can see how fast and slow everyone reacts. Before the members of the team around Ilufu could react, Long Muyun and Natasha released attacks towards Ilufu's position at the same time.

An ice-blue ring appeared on each of Long Muyun's five fingers on her right hand, and a cold current swept into the black mist in the air, dispelling most of the black mist that enveloped Iluf's arm.

Natasha threw out a small bottle containing a pale green solution, the bottle shattered in mid-air, and a burst of green smoke enveloped Eluve's whole person, very strange, the black mist that was still wrapped around her arm was twisted a few times after touching the green smoke, and then turned into black dots and fell to the ground.

At this time, Iluve's right arm was already a blur of flesh and blood, but it was very strange that she didn't feel any pain, and she reacted when she looked at her right arm, which had shrunk in a circle.

Long Muyun propped up a thin curtain of ice, enveloping everyone in it to prevent anyone else from being suddenly attacked. The crowd hid in the ice and turned their attention to Elve's arm.

Eluve's right arm has been partially eaten away by the black mist, and at this time, the exposed blood vessels and mutilated muscle tissue make people feel very uncomfortable to look at, but fortunately, Long Muyun used her ability to freeze her arm very measuredly, otherwise, the blood loss alone may have made her out early.

Iluf didn't feel anything about it until she saw the misery of her arm, and she rolled her eyes and fainted. Judging from the current situation, she may not be able to use her right hand in this simulated battle.

"What are these things?" Natasha bandaged Iluf's wounds while looking at the black mist that was still hovering outside, after a period of delay, there was more black mist outside, they swirled and squirmed, constantly hitting the ice curtain held up by Long Muyun.

"I don't know, I can't recognize it for the time being. However, we may have to speed things up. As the black fog outside continued to hit the ice curtain, Long Muyun's face became more and more pale, and the ability in her body was rapidly consuming, maybe it wouldn't be long before the seemingly thin, but actually very tough ice curtain would shatter.

Natasha nodded, she gently picked up the unconscious Iluf, and then led the team members to slowly test in the direction of the city under the cover of Long Muyun, they needed to find an entrance to the underground waterway, perhaps, so that they could get rid of these weird black fogs.

At the same time, Ressa's side is starting to notice something unusual.

It's not really that there is nothing in this underground tunnel, at least, by now, Ressa has seen more than a dozen broken corpses, the flesh of these corpses has been eaten away, even the bones on the body are missing in many places, some of the corpses still have some broken metal fragments and gun remains, combined with the bullet holes in the surrounding walls, this allows Ressa to be sure that these corpses are not the dead apostles outside.

He wasn't sure what creature it was, Celestial Beast? Or some other creature? These Resa didn't care, what he cared about was whether these creatures were still in the underground waterways, and if so, it meant that they might have a fierce battle to fight next.

"Feige, hold up the shield; Lis, who always uses her psychic ability to sense movement around her; Thousands of deaths, the cover will be handed over to you. Resa whispered: "Vier and Lin stay in the middle of the line, always be careful, and if something abnormal happens, save yourself as soon as possible." ”

The formation of the six people was a little tighter again, Resa looked at the coordinates on the personal terminal, the distance from the center point was not far away, maybe in another hour or two, they could reach the center point, but, after getting there, what should they do? The previous attacks have shown that going out is not a good option.

"Captain, has the passage around this been widened?" As he was on the way, Feige asked suddenly.

Ressa was slightly stunned, and after some inspection, he was surprised to find that the passage had indeed become wider, and not only had the passage become wider, but its bearing height was also constantly rising, just like at this time, the bearing height of the passage was close to almost 3 meters.

What's going on? Why didn't I see this before, and also, the channel has widened, does this mean that something has changed ahead?

Ressa was thinking about it, but he couldn't figure out the connection, he looked back at the dark passage behind him, but his pupils shrank slightly, because, just more than ten meters behind him, the intersection they had walked through disappeared, and as far as the eye could see, there was only a black wall.

"Be careful, we might be in big trouble." Ressa whispered, slowly breaking away from Feige's shield and walking towards the wall behind him.

There was a slippery feeling under his feet, and Resa looked down, and he couldn't help but be shocked, he finally understood why he felt that the passage in front of him had widened, not because the passage they had walked on before was very narrow, but because it was ............

After Ressa was completely out of the range of the protective shield, streams of black mist rose from the surrounding ground, enveloping Ressa.

Resa did not panic, but quickly typed the command to retrieve a similar target on his personal terminal.

This change surprised the rest of Team A, and just as they were about to make a move, Resa quickly retreated into the shield and stopped their follow-up.

After lingering outside the protective shield for a while, these black mist flew back to the nearby wall with some unwillingness, and some of them flew behind Ressa's group, forming a black wall.

"What is this?" Feige swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then he understood, where is the wall wide? Rather, these things that usually lie on the wall are constantly moving behind them, in order to prevent them from escaping, which creates the illusion that the passage has widened.

"See for yourselves!" Ressa clicked a few times on her personal terminal and shared the information she found with her teammates:

Killer Bee [Soldier Bee]: No.: 05817

Level: Earth Beast (Tier 3)

Catalog: Insectaceae

Energy Categories: Corrosive Energy, Toxins

Hunt value: 350 - 550 points

Product: Blood Honey (Item No.: 006569) Bee Needle (Item No.: 006570)

Soldier bees are responsible for guarding the hive, and will actively attack any creature that comes close to the hive, their mouthparts can secrete a corrosive slime, can break down most metal equipment, unlike other bee species in the hive social system, the soldier bee is very petite, but it is the strongest female bee after the bee. Unlike worker bees, soldier bees do not immediately weaken and die after losing their sparks, but will go berserk for a certain period of time after losing their sparks. They will devour other creatures like crazy, using their life energy to repair the lost bee needles.

Soldier bees are very destructive, but they can't break the barrier created by the ability, so try to isolate them with an energy shield when facing them, or it may not be long before you're eaten up.

After reading the information, everyone gasped, but fortunately, everyone had set up a defensive barrier in advance, and they had not been harmed for a while.

"Should we get out of this place next? Don't walk into the lair. Feige looked around, and the passage was densely crawled with killer bees. Even though they knew they couldn't get close yet, the sight still made everyone's scalps tingle.

"I'm afraid ......" Ressa swallowed and said in a somewhat difficult voice, "...... We're inside the hive............"
