Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Eighth Layer of the Bloody War
Entering the Cloud Gate on the eighth floor, it was desolate as far as the eye could see. The Gobi, the gravel, and the uneven ground stretched to the end of the sight, and in the distance there were a few bulges worthy of hills, all mottled and a dark brown world.
"I can't see a little green, it's completely different from before......"
Starfall's right eye opened into the distance, but he still saw the Gobi and the bare hills. The previous floors had mountains and rivers, but here they have completely different landforms.
"The air and temperature are all the same, could it be that there is something special about this ground?"
Starfall is not in a hurry to go deeper, it is important to understand the environment first. Starfall pulled out the cloud sword and stabbed it towards the ground, the sharp sword easily broke through the skin, but it seemed to be greatly hindered, and there was a not-so-crisp metal hiss from the ground.
The sword mangs only pierced into a depth of half a meter, but Xingluo did not increase his strength, but took the sword back with a somewhat solemn expression.
"This vast underground area can't be all metal ores, right...... Will it have a buff on those gold-based cloud beasts?"
Xingluo thought about it with a heavy face, and felt that there was basically no suspense in this. Since it is a metallic cloud beast, it will naturally gain benefits in this environment, just like a water cloud beast will be greatly powerful in the water.
"Fortunately, I didn't choose the fire or water system, maybe the eighth level might be the Flaming Mountain......
Starfall smiled lightly, and continued to walk slowly towards the depths, according to previous experience, after walking for a while, those cloud beasts would suddenly appear.
With such a vast range, it is impossible for Starfall to destroy the environment here, it is too big, and there is no way to solve it, so Starfall can only brush it up.
After walking for about forty minutes, he could see a brown hill not far away, and Starfall hesitated for a moment and decided to go around it first.
But from the ravines on both sides, a dense mass of large beetles suddenly emerged, reddish-brown like the ground, thirty centimeters in size, surging from both sides like a tide.
After passing through the first seven floors, Starfall is no longer strange about these things, but they are just miscellaneous soldiers in a different way.
When these insects gathered into an army like a tide and surged towards him, Xingluo bowed his waist, and the nine-meter-long sword light swept through the beetle tide, and most of the insects were swept in two, and Xingluo waved it twice, and thousands of beetles were all killed.
Starfall didn't care about the beetles, and made a few jumps to the dirt slope next to it, ready to take in the situation around them. The arrival of these beetles shows that the real threat of the enemy is not far away.
But Starfall was just about to open his distant eyes, so he frowned suspiciously, and turned his head to look at the army of beetles that had just been eliminated by himself.
It stands to reason that these beetles should have turned into clouds by now and risen to the sky. But the large corpse of the beetle was lying there like that, and the separated bodies were quickly fused together.
The dense beetles suddenly turned over, and they were all alive again. The original reddish-brown ground seems to have slightly soiled, and some rocks on the surface are covered with cracks and signs of weathering, and the reddish-brown ground has also turned slightly gray.
"......" Xingluo's brows furrowed even deeper, "This is the effect of this environment?
Starfall frowned and looked at the vast area around him, such a large area could really allow these beetles to survive for a long time. The key is that the combat power here can't be only these low-level beetles.
The resurrected army of beetles squeaked, and the sound of so many beetles coming together sounded a little creepy.
There was a noisy creaking sound for three seconds, and the resurrected beetles all burrowed into the ground and disappeared.
Xingluo's face tightened, and he suddenly noticed the abnormal slight movement on the ground, and hurriedly rose into the air. The dense beetles came out of the place where Starfall had been standing, and they were numerous and dense, like a huge monster composed of beetles, as if they wanted to swallow Starfall into their mouths in one bite.
Fortunately, Starfall's jumping ability was outstanding, and he jumped out of the range of the beetle army in time, and used his backhand to stir up the dense beetle army with his sword.
Starfall jumped a few times and hid far away, and the corpses of the beetles fell to the ground like rain, and many beetles were stirred into more than a dozen pieces by the sword of Starfall, but the beetles that fell to the ground squirmed a few times, and they all got up again.
"Hey, it's really not okay to not be able to ignite the system, otherwise I'll have to roast you crunchy!"
Starfall looked at the resurrected army of beetles, and was very helpless in his heart, and it was indeed a loss to have no attributes. Although his sword is sharp, under such conditions, it can't really kill with one hit.
Where the beetle is resurrected, the reddish-brown ground also has a certain degree of soilization or sandification, but it is not too obvious.
It seems that this land is rich in gold, and with such a vast range, it is enough for these low-grade bugs to be resurrected thousands of times.
Starfall felt a lot of headaches, but it seemed that the other beings here didn't want these low-level bugs to waste the conditions here.
The dense beetles did not burrow into the ground again after resurrection, nor did they rush towards Starfall again, as if waiting for orders there.
Suddenly, from the mountain in the distance, a dazzling golden light suddenly lit up, and the golden light expanded rapidly, expanding into a huge golden ball.
The color of the golden ball gradually faded, but the speed of expansion became faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, the entire hill was enveloped in it, and then quickly passed over the position of the starfall, forming a huge golden ball that was no less than ten miles away.
"...... in the field of gold"
Starfall's face changed, and Starfall on the fifth layer had seen this kind of scene, and Starfall on the sixth and seventh floors had never seen it again, but it finally happened again on the eighth layer.
Moreover, the scope of this domain is twice as long as before, and it seems to be from the hands of an enemy, so the difficulty of this time seems to be much more difficult than that of the fifth layer.
Starfall was just about to open his eyes to see what kind of cloud beast was supporting this realm, but he was suddenly startled, and those dense army of beetles suddenly disappeared.
Although Starfall focused on the mountain, the surrounding environment was still under Starfall's observation, and those beetles did not burrow into the ground again, but disappeared out of thin air!
Starfall was startled, and hurriedly jumped a few times to hide far away, and the secret numb beetle suddenly appeared in the position where Starfall was standing like a tornado.
Starfall was still standing there, afraid that he had been gnawed by these beetles to the bones. No, it should be said that there are not even bones left, these beetles are all golden, and the teeth should be very good.
Of course, this is just an analogy, after all, this is just a test, and it won't really kill you.
"Escape art, impossible ......"
Looking at the army of beetles that suddenly appeared there, like a tornado sweeping up and down, Starfall felt very unreasonable.
"These beetles are all low-grade insects, and it is impossible for them to master the retreat technique that only grandmasters have, let alone such a large number of ......."
Xingluo stood far away, rubbing his chin suspiciously, thinking about the reasonableness of it. Compared with the battle of impromptu response, the judgment of the battlefield situation is the quality that a soldier should have.
While thinking about it, Starfall suddenly startled, and on the hill that held up the huge field, a dazzling essence light suddenly lit up, and then disappeared in a flash!
