Chapter 62: Fire Cockroaches

"Is that the Demon City, Chief Chief?" Faust looked at the towering building in the distance, which seemed to be an obelisk, but it was surprisingly tall, twice as tall as the tallest tree in the jungle.

The old chieftain stood at Faust's side, and he replied, "Yes, but at the current rate, we are still more than half a day's way from there, and we will probably be able to enter the range of the Demon City before sunset today." ”

Then he hesitated, but then suggested, "I think we should rest outside the city for the night and enter the city tomorrow morning." ”

"Oh, will the Demon City be dangerous at night?" Faust was very interested in the information about the Demon City, after all, it was at stake for his own safety.

The chief smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You know, there is almost no danger in the Demon City itself, and it is those 'guardians' who are in danger. ”

"The races and postures of the Guardians are ever-changing, and every once in a while they become unrecognizable. The chief explained: "The guardians of the last few years have been dominated by an insect. ”

"I call them fire cockroaches. A flash of horror flashed in the chief's eyes, which intrigued Faust - as far as he knew, it was the Demon City that had so far frightened and powerless the Chieftain, and the strange horror of the Demon City was self-evident.

What kind of abilities does this so-called "fire cockroach" possess that terrified the old chieftain so much?

The chief didn't sell it, and without waiting for Faust to ask, he directly began to describe the appearance of the fire cockroach, "The fire cockroach looks like a normal cockroach, but it is much larger, a foot long, and I have even seen a big two foot long. ”

"They don't breathe fire, but they have strong acid all over their bodies, and some fire cockroaches can spray this acid at a range of nearly fifteen yards. The chief described the ecology of the fire cockroach as detailed and unemotional as possible, fearing that his fear would be contagious to Faust.

"It's fine during the day, these fiery red cockroaches are easy to identify, but once it's night......" the old chief shook his head, "they have a natural ability to 'sneak into the shadows', they will automatically become invisible in the dark, and will only be visible during vigorous exercise." ”

"Hiss......" Faust took a deep breath, "Well, then, even in the daytime......" he looked at the gloomy surroundings of the jungle and the faintness that intertwined like cobwebs, "they're still hard to wrap around, right?"

Apart from a wry smile, the old chief didn't seem to have a better expression to express his feelings.

Seeing that the old chief acquiesced to his reasoning, Faust was also silent, and after a few seconds, he continued to ask, "How powerful is the acid?"

The chief immediately replied, "It is generally effective against dead things, but animals and animal products are basically not resistant to their corrosion. Because the corpses will appear like a fire-like death, I call them fire cockroaches. The chief thought for a moment, and seemed to find it not convincing enough, so he added: "They live in groups, and the number of groups is ...... Much more than the canopy wolf anyway. ”

It's really a headache, Faust rubbed his temples, if it was just a small group of fire cockroaches, he could use remote sensing and synesthetes to command the team to fight, which could minimize the opponent's stealth advantage. But if the other party has a lot of numbers, then he will definitely not be able to command it.

"How far further do you get to the range of fire cockroaches?" asked Faust, "What do they eat?" "It would be a good idea to use food to distract fire cockroaches."

"I've never seen a Guardian eat. The chief rejected Faust's idea, "Their range is also difficult to determine, but they have not reached our current location at the farthest. ”

Completely worthless, Faust silently scored the information provided by the old chieftain in his heart, and the things he said did not have the slightest positive effect at all except to veto Faust's plan.

"And how do you deal with these fire cockroaches?" Faust still did not give up, he always felt that there was some way to get through this difficulty.

The chief continued to smile wryly.

Faust saw his answer in the chief's eyes—they had apparently chosen to storm them during the day.

"How about I take you underground?" Faust frowned, and offered the last thing he could think of for the moment—he knew that if it could be solved so easily, the chief would have told him a long time ago.

Sure enough, the old chief gave him a helpless look, "Fire cockroaches can burrow, and they are very fast. "The last time they encountered a fire cockroach, they suffered the loss of this trick, and the fire cockroach suddenly appeared from the center of the ranks, killing and injuring a large number of samurai.

Sure enough, nothing is smooth sailing, and Faust now agrees with this statement.

However, in Mayor Marula's memory, those Guardians didn't seem so difficult to deal with. This gave Faust the illusion that he would be able to get past it easily.

Faust thought of this question, and naturally brought it up, and he muttered to himself, "Why is this fire cockroach so much more powerful than the two Guardians that Mayor Marula said?

"Not necessarily," the old chieftain thought Faust was asking him, and patiently explained, "the fire cockroach's other abilities are very mediocre, and if you meet an opponent who is not afraid of acid......"

"Wait!" Faust was frowning as he thought about how to deal with the fire cockroach, when he vaguely heard what the old chief said, which seemed to make him finally grasp a hint of inspiration, "What did you just say?"

The chief looked inexplicable, "I said that the fire cockroach is mediocre in ability......"

"No, no, it's not that. Faust rudely interrupted the chieftain, "What kind of opponent did you just say?"

"I say, don't be afraid of acid......" The old chieftain also sensed that Faust seemed to have figured something out, and cooperated very well to help Faust find inspiration, without being angry at his offense.

"Yes, this is it!" said Faust, who walked briskly twice, suddenly looked up and said to the old chief, "I may be able to lead you out of the fire cockroach's territory." ”

"Really?" Although he had expected it, the old chief couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard such good news, "That's great, tell me what I can do to avoid those damn red bugs?"

Faust smiled mysteriously as he pulled the chief over and whispered. The chief's face turned embarrassed, "It's a ......bit difficult to catch you alive?"

"If you don't experiment, it's a little too risky. It's not going to work, we're going to have to feed the cockroaches. Faust spread his hands, "I'll let Reinhardt go with you, can you catch a fire cockroach and come back?"

The chief pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth, "I'll do my best!"
