Chapter 12: The Netherworld
The stinger whistled through the air, raining down on the bearded man's body until he died, and he couldn't understand why those soldier ants didn't attack Shen Yi, but attacked himself.
He would never have thought that it was because of his greed that the Broken Blade team had the opportunity to take down the ant nest in two days without using the Demon God Transformation.
For the Broken Blade team, the entire ant colony is already difficult to damage them except for the stinger attack. Therefore, as long as the entire ant colony, the stinger attack of a thousand soldier ants can be consumed, then it will be very easy to destroy the ant nest with their strength.
Relying only on the mecha and activation, Shen Yi was not sure that he would be able to block it, after all, his energy was still limited. That's why he planned to use the Ten Directions Purgatory after the Demon God Transformation to quickly destroy a large number of soldier ants and reduce the chances of the opponent's attack as much as possible. With the huge coverage of the Ten Directions Purgatory, there will be many soldiers and ants who will be burned to death before they can get close and fire their stingers.
However, the appearance of the bearded man made him see the possibility of not using the Demon God Transformation - using his communication skills to induce the soldiers to shift their targets.
After Shen Yi's communication reaches level 2, he not only has the ability to communicate with the target for a longer time, but more importantly, it can also affect the target's mood to a certain extent. Although he is unable to control the target's behavior, he can induce the target, causing an effect similar to hallucinatory attraction. In the future, as his ability level increases, this influence will increase. Of course, no matter how much he influences, he can't say nice things and hack the other person to death, after all, his ability is communication rather than mind control.
But as long as there are other targets around, Shen Yi is sure that others will be the priority target for him.
Therefore, he can't get the soldiers not to attack him, but it is very easy to provoke the anger of the soldiers and let them attack the bearded ones first.
He simply told the simple-minded soldier ants that the bearded man was their leader, the equivalent of the queen ant, and the soldiers immediately launched the most violent stinger attack on the bearded man.
As for the reinforcements that had previously flown in from the two small ant nests, it was the same.
Almost without exception, these new soldier ants shrouded their opponents under their stingers, and even Hong Lang was so close that he was affected by more than a dozen stingers, so frightened that he ran away.
There were two waves of stinger attacks, and three of the eight adventurers died directly, and the remaining few had fewer stabs, and survived by drinking the recovery medicine, and only one person was slightly injured.
However, the doom that awaited them did not end.
The ant tide continued to attack, and under Shen Yi's guidance, more and more soldier ants and worker ants surrounded the four people who were still alive, and the most slaughtered Broken Blade team was under the lightest pressure.
In order to ensure that these five people could hold out to the end, Shen Yi even shot medical bombs from time to time to restore the lives of the five people. Anyway, they are in the ant tide, and they are not afraid that they will not fight.
This practice makes the other party so angry that he wants to commit suicide!
They finally know that they have provoked the wrong person, but unfortunately it is too late to regret it.
Someone shouted, "Who the hell are you?"
"Go to hell and ask. Shen Yi replied indifferently, and shot back at a soldier ant who attacked the speaker, saving the man once.
He'd saved the five men too many times, even though they didn't appreciate him at all - a ridiculous situation.
The battle lasted eighteen hours from afternoon to dusk and from dusk to late night.
Nearly all of the soldier ants have been slaughtered, and the biggest threat to the Broken Blades' path to success has been completely eliminated.
Shen Yi finally decided to withdraw his troops.
They were to rest for the night and fight again tomorrow, when the nest would have no chance to stop their attack.
At the same time, the adventurers lost their meaning - their medicine had run out, two of them died in battle, and one escaped.
Flood strikes at the last moment, killing the last two remaining adventurers. It's a pity that these two people are ruthless enough, and before they die, they took the initiative to destroy all their equipment, so that they didn't get anything.
But Shen Yi doesn't care - he still has the harvest on the blacklist, two people, seven thousand points.
The next morning, the Breakers attacked the nest again. After losing most of the main battle force, the situation took a turn for the worse, and the Broken Blade team drove all the way to the Yellow Dragon, and after killing five guard ants, they finally succeeded in killing the queen ants, and completed the plan to clear a large ant nest in two days.
The new ant suit was handed over to King Kong, and the addition of 9 points to all attributes made King Kong's strength even higher, not to mention that there were guard ants to summon.
He smiled softly at this: "Kill a few more ant nests, and we can form an ant army." ”
Hong Lang began to snap his fingers: "Plus the airborne battalion, and the Terminator troops, which will always appear in the future, don't we have to have three troops? Cleaning the ant nest in the future will not be the same as playing?"
Everyone laughed out loud.
This is the cycle of dominance, and as the strength grows, the existence that once frightened adventurers gradually becomes less uncommon. According to Shen Yi's plan, the third wilderness trip in the ordinary area will be their sweeping journey, and as for now, they are still a little short of sweeping the wilderness.
Everyone laughed, Shen Yi patted the computer in his palm and said, "Okay, the things here have been completed, let's go to the Netherworld Valley." Skyeye has spotted the traces of the Windblast. ”
"Where?" asked everyone.
"A hundred kilometers away from the Netherworld, we are heading to the Netherworld...... The old thing is really pinching this time. Shen Yi frowned.
The later Ban Dongming came, the more likely he knew that the Broken Blade team was fine.
At this moment, he frowned, and thought for a while before saying, "You say...... If Ban Dong knows that we have killed Diablo, obtained the Demon God bloodline, and have the strength to kill adventurers in the ordinary area in seconds, then what can he do to deal with us?"
"Sneak up and kill King Kong in seconds. Zhou Yiyu said immediately.
Shen Yi immediately shook his head: "Impossible, now the ordinary area only knows that some of us have the bloodline of the Demon God, but even M7 doesn't know who owns this bloodline." He lacks exact target designation, and if I use speculation, I think it's more likely that he guessed me. ”
The fat man thought for a moment and said, "That...... Escape?"
Everyone was speechless, and with his temperament, he could only think of such an idea. If Ban Dongming is the kind of person who retreats in the face of difficulties and gives up easily, he will not be Ban Dongming.
"Join forces with Xie Rongjun?" asked King Kong.
Shen Yi continued to shake his head: "Xie Rongjun told Ban Dongming our news, but he wanted to watch a good show, and he wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so he wanted to say that the two sides joined forces...... Don't forget to kill the blood prick in the first place, and the old thing also has a role to play. He Xie Rongjun may not have the strength to forget the hatred, and I wish it was possible for both of us to die together. What's more, Xie Rongjun is no longer qualified to threaten us. ”
At that time, still gentle and suddenly said: "If this is the case, then there is only one possibility......"
"What?" everyone asked.
"Find a helper!
Shen Yi's eyes narrowed slightly: "That's right, find a helper, find a backstage...... The best and easiest solution!"
He took a second look at Ban Dongming's current location, suddenly smiled, raised his head sharply, and ordered loudly: "Zeus, focus the observation area on the third area in the east, find the target Nether Wolf, and then see if there is anyone in the fourth area who goes all the way through the wilderness to the second area!"
Then he took out the crystal tears and threw them to the fat man: "Xie Rongjun may also be here, use this to find your intimate lover." ”
"Rely on you!" the fat man scolded.
Shen Yi nodded with satisfaction: "I'm a lot bolder." ”
―――――――――――――――
Netherworld.
Among the many dangerous places in the wilderness of the East Second District, if the most famous is the Ant Hill, then the least famous is probably the Nether Valley.
Compared to the huge army of ants in the Ant Hills, which can easily reach thousands of people, the momentum of Netherworld Valley is much smaller. It is shrouded in black fog for many years, and the visibility is extremely low, and you can occasionally hear a terrible cry, but you don't know what it is. Once inside, adventurers often can't find their way out, and all that awaits them is an endless array of undead.
Legend has it that this is the entrance to hell.
"There are about twelve species of undead in the Netherworld, and the total number is about a thousand. Their overall strength is not strong, their defense is weak, their health is weak, but their attack power is unusually high, and they also have various negative statuses. These undead can never be killed, and for each one killed, one will appear elsewhere in the valley, keeping the total balanced at all times. Therefore, if you want to survive in the Netherworld, the ability to kill is not the first thing, but the ability to hide and move is the most important. ”
"In the bloody city, you can see the moon one night a year...... A planet that looks much larger than its home Earth. ”
"This day is known as the night of the Holy Moon. ”
"When the Holy Moon appears, the fog in the Netherworld Valley will be weakened, and the undead will no longer be infinitely reborn, so it is the lowest time for the Netherworld Valley, but this time is only twelve hours. ”
"When the Holy Moon appears, kill all the undead, and a mysterious altar will appear in the middle of the valley. Open that altar, and there is a golden chest inside. Get the crate, and your mission is complete. ”
"Be careful, there is a very powerful monster in the altar at the same time. You don't have to kill it to get the chest. But if it can be killed, there will be a lot of additional benefits as well. ”
"Remember, you only have twelve hours, and when the day comes, when the Holy Moon disappears, the undead will reign again over the valley, the black fog will once again cover the land, and the altars will disappear. ”
Pandora stood on the edge of a mountain cliff not far from the mouth of the Nether Valley, and her ears echoed the words that the Evil Emperor Wei Xu had said to her.
Pandora was a very good listener, and she could tell from the Evil Emperor's tone that he valued the box.
In other words, if she can't complete this mission, then her mission may come to an end.
After calming down, Pandora picked up the intercom: "Shen Yi, I'm at the mouth of the Netherworld Valley." Where are you?"
This intercom was given to her by Shen Yi to facilitate communication in the wilderness. It's just that she used to contact Shen Yi a few days ago, but she never got a response. She knew that Shen Yi had already entered the wilderness, and she deliberately didn't answer because she didn't want to pay attention to her, and she was annoyed but helpless.
Still no response.
Pandora was anxious: "Shen Yi, I know you don't like me, but I hope you don't delay your business because of this! The holy moon is about to appear, we must prepare early!"
She finally got a response from Shen Yi: "I'm already here." ”
The sound was not coming from the intercom.
Pandora turned around sharply and saw Shen Yi standing behind her.
Alone!
