Chapter 122: Scarab! 【Seeking Gold Diamond】
"This actual combat assessment seems to be more difficult than I imagined......" Looking at the sky illuminated by firelight in the distance, Chu Xun's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of solemnity.
He originally thought that the biggest challenge of this actual combat assessment was the competition and infighting between students from all walks of life, but now it seems that the situation is much more complicated than he imagined.
This No. 4 dead city is too dangerous, especially those various, innumerable mutated insects, which are enough to pose a mortal danger to any participating student. Even he didn't dare to choose to resist when facing the sea of insects, so he could only retreat and escape.
After all, once they gather in a swarm, the danger of mutant insects will increase dramatically, even far exceeding that of beasts or corpses of the same size!
Because compared to mutant beasts and zombie creatures, these mutant insects are too small and flexible, which means that when facing a swarm attack, the number and frequency of attacks you encounter will be ten times or even more than that of facing a herd of beasts and corpses!
What's more, some mutant insects are still very small, which makes them even more dangerous. It's like a mutated insect called a dung beetle, which is even smaller than an ant, and once surrounded by them, they will burrow into your body along every hole in your body, devour your flesh, and lay eggs inside you.
The scary thing is that these eggs have a certain paralyzing and healing effect on your injuries, so you usually don't die right away, and you can clearly feel those eggs hatching and growing in your body. It is not until these terrible bugs eat you up that you are freed from that terrible torment.
Therefore, in the face of these large numbers of mutant insects that are extremely terrifying, with the strength of the participating students, they are afraid that they may not be able to protect themselves, let alone kill the prey to earn points.
"Perhaps, we were wrong from the beginning......" After analyzing for a while, Chu Xun shook his head slightly, probably knowing why the city lord and the others chose the dangerous place of the No. 4 Dead City for the actual combat assessment.
Because they need not only individual powerful abilities, but also leaders who can judge the situation, make correct judgments in dangerous situations, and then be able to further combine and exert the combat power of students from all walks of life!
Only such a leader can lead the team of Chu City to achieve better results in the survival game!
"Brother, let's get out of here......" And just as Chu Xun was guessing the intentions of the city lord and the others, the bear child also gently pushed him, and then said cautiously: "I don't know how long this bone wall can last, in case it suddenly collapses or disappears, I'm afraid that we will be in trouble." ”
"Yes!" Chu Xun nodded, then looked at the place where the fire was shining in the distance, and said, "Let's go there!" ”
"Over there?" Hearing Chu Xun's words, the bear child's face suddenly changed, and then he exclaimed: "Brother, there is a battle going on there, aren't we asking for trouble when we go?" ”
Speaking of this, the bear child glanced at Chu Xun suspiciously again, and asked, "Or do you want to go over and solve them, and then snatch their points away by the way?" ”
"No, it's the opposite, I'm going to save them!" Chu Xun smiled slightly, then no longer explained, grabbed the bear child and shot towards the place where the fire was shining in the distance.
It is not a simple person who can get to this point through the audition, since he can think of this, others can naturally think of it. So he has to get as many helpers as he can before the others react, and then eradicate those potential threats and establish his advantage!
Thinking of this, Chu Xun's eyes also flashed with a hint of coldness!
No matter who he is, as long as he dares to stop him from winning the championship, then he will definitely not be relentless!
……
At the same time, somewhere in Dead City No. 4, Shadow Tiger is also caught in a bitter battle.
Besieging him was a black, palm-sized crustacean insect. Truth be told, this insect doesn't look dangerous, because it has neither majestic strength, nor sharp claws, and even looks round, and the brilliant back armor that looks like a black gem makes these insects look more like a piece of jewelry than some terrifying creature.
However, it was these insects that did not seem dangerous that made Shadow Tiger sweat profusely.
Because this black beetle is the nemesis of all elemental abilities - the scarab!
The scarab beetle is a very special mutated insect. It is impossible to verify what they looked like before they mutated, and it is only known that since the appearance of this terrible insect, the elemental powerhouses who could easily slaughter large numbers of Zerg have encountered a nemesis, and it is difficult for them to wipe out an entire swarm with the power of a single person as before.
This particular mutant insect does not have a strong defense, and its attack power is pitifully weak, and it is not even very fast. However, they have an extremely terrifying ability, which is "Elemental Devouring"!
Any type of elemental body or elemental attack, even the most common ones of fire and lasers, will hardly damage this beetle with elemental devouring abilities, and these beetles can even strengthen themselves by devouring these abilities as their own food.
It is precisely because of them that the threat of human weapons of mass destruction or elemental abilities to the Zerg has also decreased dramatically, otherwise, Bai Cheng would not have been wiped out in the sea of insects so easily.
And in the face of the nemesis of this elemental ability, Shadow Tiger and his teammates naturally struggled more and more. Because neither the Shadow Tiger he summoned nor the fire abilities cast by his teammates could really threaten these terrifying creatures.
Especially his Shadow Tiger, the most powerful thing about this kind of shadow summon is that it can be constantly reborn and killed, but in the face of the crazy devouring of the scarabs, these Shadow Tigers who originally had immortal bodies have also become the food of the scarabs, which has made these scarabs even more powerful.
"Damn, where the hell did these things come from, there are so many!" Sensing that the energy in his body was being violently consumed, Shadow Tiger's eyes became more and more solemn.
He didn't expect that there would be so many scarabs in this No. 4 Dead City, and he let himself run into it. If he continues to be entangled like this, then sooner or later he will become food for these scarab beetles due to the exhaustion of his powers!
So no matter what, he has to break through now!
As long as he succeeds in breaking through, he is sure to escape with his unique shadow ability, even if he encounters other powerful mutant insects!
Thinking of this, Shadow Tiger also seemed to have made some decision, and shouted to the man beside him who was burning with flames: "Fire Man, you're ready to break through, your speed is not good, wait for my Shadow Tiger to leave!" ”
"Good!" Hearing Shadow Tiger's words, the young man who was covered in flames also nodded immediately, and then with a wave of his hands, a large amount of flames poured out towards those scarab beetles.
Although it was difficult for the power of the flames to harm these scarabs, perhaps because of the genetic aversion to flames and light, in the face of the impact of a large number of flames, these scarabs also retreated slightly by two meters, giving the two of them a chance to breathe.
"Let's go!" Seeing the scarab beetle retreat slightly, a trace of coldness flashed in the eyes of the shadow tiger, and then with a wave of his right hand, the shadow behind the fire man turned into a shadow tiger.
"Be careful yourself!" The fire man did not hesitate, and jumped directly on the shadow tiger, ready to drive the tiger away, but at this moment, the shadow tiger suddenly turned around and jumped into the swarm as if he was crazy, and then turned over and pressed the fire man under him.
"Shadow Tiger, you?!" Huo Nan never thought that Shadow Tiger would plot against himself as a teammate, his face changed, and he was about to scold angrily, but at this moment, those scarab beetles had already swarmed up and began to frantically devour Huo Man's body, causing him to let out a series of terrible screams.
can pass the audition and break into the actual combat assessment, and the fire man naturally has his advantages. His possession of the "Fire Spirit" allows him to transform into a Fire Elemental Lifeform, which allows him to unleash a powerful fire ability and is largely immune to physical attacks, making it an excellent ability for both offense and defense.
With such a powerful ability, Fire Man may not be able to do anything even if he is surrounded by tens of thousands of zombies. But it's a pity that it's not the zombies that surround him now, but his nemesis, the scarab!
The Scarab's Elemental Devouring ability makes Fire Man's fire-based abilities almost useless, and the Fire Elemental's physical immunity is not effective against the Scarab at all. These terrible creatures, biting on the flames as if they were biting on the ground, quickly weakened the fire light on the fire man's body with one bite, and it was obvious that it would not be long before the fire man would be completely devoured by these scarabs.
At the same time, the Shadow Tiger also took advantage of the opportunity of these scarab beetles busy devouring the fire man, and then merged with the Shadow Tiger in mid-air, rushing out of the insect fence at an extremely fast speed, and escaped.
"Shadow Tiger, I'll grass your ancestor!"
Rumble!
At the moment when the shadow tiger stood out from the insect encirclement, a resentful roar suddenly sounded from the sea of insects. Then, a fierce fire also erupted from the sea of insects.
Obviously, the fire man couldn't bear the pain of being devoured by ten thousand insects, and chose to blow himself up at the last moment!
