Chapter 654: The Second Wave of Beast Attacks
The second wave of beast attacks was still a monster called a tentacle worm by Zhao San.
However, this wave of attacking tentacle worms gives people a completely different feeling.
Standing not far from the trunk of the tree, Lin Huang saw from a distance that the movement speed of this wave of insect beasts was at least twice as fast as before, and the size was more than doubled, and almost all the tentacle insects were opening their mouths and roaring, as if they were in a state of extreme anger. There was another detail that also caught Lin Huang's attention, the white spots on the backs of these tentacle insects had turned into scarlet colors.
"Collective madness?" Lin Huang was slightly surprised when he saw the state of this wave of attacking insects and beasts.
Such an unknown monster that is not on the Bestiary, what kind of ability Lin Huang has, and it is not strange for Lin Huang to have the ability to go berserk. What surprised him was that these tens of thousands of monsters were in a state of madness at the same time, and this was the first time he had seen this situation.
The tentacle worm after the madness is also completely different from the previous drowsiness, giving people the feeling of being beaten with chicken blood.
Before they could climb the branches, the antennae insects jumped down from the trunks of the trees dozens of meters high and pounced in the direction of the crowd.
Seeing this scene, Lin Huang finally understood why before the second wave of attacks came, all the hunting teams had to retreat some distance to leave a space for the connection between the trunk and the branches. If you are still standing in the position you just now, many tentacle worms can jump directly behind everyone and launch an attack.
After the first tentacle worms jumped down, everyone did not rush over to kill them, but waited for them to crawl near the crowd by themselves, and then the hunting teams took action.
"Follow us, don't go deeper. If you step into the jump range of these bugs on the trunk of a tree, they will desperately jump towards you, and no matter how strong you are, you will quickly be overwhelmed by the swarm. Zhao San's explanation finally let Lin Huang know the reason why the other hunting teams had been wandering on the edge of the swarm and refused to go deeper.
Lin Huang nodded, and followed Zhao San's group to start the second round of monster hunting.
He is still strolling around, and he is still a flying knife to break through the world.
Zhao San and the others did not have the same ease as before.
After the madness, the tentacle worm is not only high-spirited, full of combat status, but also doubles or even triples its strength, speed, and defense. Even the regeneration rate of the tentacles is several times that of the previous one, and it can be restored to good condition in the next second when it is almost cut off.
Twelve tentacles swept out one by one, some as soft as a whip, some as hard as thorns, beckoning humans who wanted to hunt them in various states.
The frenzy of the tentacle worm doubled the pressure on Zhao San and them, and the monsters that could be killed in one hit before have now become quite difficult.
Zhao San needed at least three knives to kill an insect beast every time, his body technique was already very ordinary, and the attacks of his tentacles became more difficult.
Although Jiang Xin is still ghostly, his hunting efficiency is also much lower. After the defense of these insect beasts increased, she had no way to penetrate the insect beast's insect knot with one blow, and it would take at least two or even three attacks to hunt a insect beast.
The rest of the team did the same, and the speed of the hunt dropped dramatically.
Even the strongest strong man with the giant axe was no exception, although he was still able to kill the tentacle worm with one blow, his body was not good, and he looked a lot more embarrassed than Zhao San under the attack of the insect swarm.
Turning his attention away from Zhao San and the others, Lin Huang looked at the other hunting groups, and they were all similar scenes.
When the first wave of monsters came, everyone was a tough guy who dared to go deep into the swarm, and all of them were proud and heroic. But now, the expressions on everyone's faces are extremely grim, and their nerves are extremely tense, and they try their best to dodge at the slightest movement, completely losing their previous fearlessness and invincibility.
Lin Huang became the most leisurely person on the entire battlefield, and only the indifference on his face never changed.
A throwing knife hovered in front of him, like a living thing, piercing the heads of all monsters that tried to get close. It's still drilling in from the mouthparts, drilling out from the top of the head, and killing insects and beasts one by one.
Within a ten-meter radius of his body, there was almost a vacuum.
He always followed Zhao San and them not far behind, Zhao San and they were occasionally entangled by monster tentacles, and he would kill the monster that stretched out the tentacles as soon as possible. Other than that, he didn't interfere with Zhao San's hunt.
Zhao San and the others also knew that if Lin Huang wanted to rob the monster, he and his party might not be able to hunt any of them.
More than two hours passed in a flash, and by about eleven o'clock in the evening, the second wave of monsters had finally been cleaned up.
One by one, the hunting teams began to retreat quickly after completing the hunting of the second wave of monsters.
"Is this to give up the third wave of monsters?" Lin Huang followed Zhao San and the others while retreating, and also raised his own puzzlement.
"Retreat is for better hunting. Zhao San didn't explain much.
Soon the twenty-eight hunting teams retreated to a fork in the branch, and then the group abandoned the main path of the branch and retreated to the branch on the right.
It was only at this point that Zhao San began to explain further.
"Most of the monsters will search for humans along the main road of the branches, and we abandon the main road and retreat here, which is equivalent to artificially reducing the flow of monsters. Fighting here is several times less stressful than fighting on the main road. ”
Lin Huang also understood, the main trunk of the entire branch was like a main water pipe, and the branch where everyone was hiding was like a small diversion pipe. Monsters are like water flows, and they will flow a lot along the main water pipe at the first time, and the water flow on this side of the diversion pipe will naturally be small.
"That's a good idea. ”
Lin Huang also had to admit that this way of diverting monsters was indeed very clever, and it could greatly reduce everyone's pressure.
"This is what one of our seniors in the 6th district came up with more than 20 years ago. It is said that before this, the people in this layer simply gave up the confrontation because the elimination rate brought by the third wave of beast attacks was too high. As soon as you clean up the second wave of beast attacks, you either directly exit the virtual world, or retreat to the leaf safety point. Zhao San talked about his predecessors in the same district as himself, faintly revealing a little pride. "That senior also broke through to the sixty-third floor, and then stayed on the sixty-third floor until he was forty years old before retiring from the Demon Alliance. ”
Listening to Zhao San talk about the sixth district, Lin Huang couldn't help but think of the things in the seventh district, and thought of his sister Lin Xin, as well as Leng Yuexin, Yi Yeyu and their friends.
"If I can break through to the sixty-third floor, some newcomers from the sixth district in the future will definitely remember my name......," Zhao San said to himself.
"Isn't your name Zhao San?One, two, three, what's so hard to remember?" the giant axe man teased with a smile.
"Get out! Lao Tzu's name is Zhao Shan!"
The two laughed a few words, and suddenly a deep voice came from not far ahead.
"Everyone, cheer up, the third wave of beast attacks is coming!"
