Chapter 187: The Zerg's Mutation (I)
In the sea northeast of the Thundering Continent, there is a small island hidden in the reef, the ground is covered with ice and snow, but there is a deep wormhole underground. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
One after another, some people found some sporadic records in the ancient texts: the frozen wormhole is the territory of the Zerg, and the insect king Snowy occupied it many years ago. Snoxi seems to have some connection to the demons, and its magic affects the zerg in the wormhole, causing them to produce terrifying mutations. Hard beetles, explosive insects, poisonous insects, bloodthirsty insects...... All kinds of insect monsters that are rare in the world fill the entire frozen wormhole.
I don't know how many people have been to the frozen wormholes, but few have come back alive.
There are still some explorers who have set foot in the frozen worm cave one after another, because there is a deadly temptation here - the Ice Armor Scroll. This bizarre scroll, which is said to be able to synthesize the ice armor amulet of the holy relic, is said to be hidden in a secret room deep in the worm cave along with the insect king Snoth. And the passage leading to the secret room was already full of blood and bones.
Before deciding to go on the expedition, Ryan had already re-examined the group that had been away from him for a year, and learned about their growth and current strength, not only in terms of personal combat power, battle pet combat power, but also in terms of weapons and equipment, which he knew very well, because in the future battles may encounter more difficult and strong opponents.
On the way to the small northern islands, Ryan explained to Long Cheng, Puth, Enna, and Angel one by one. Enna was a little frightened after hearing this, and said, "Master Lane, I heard you talk about being so dangerous, how can a team of just a few of us deal with a Zerg full of all kinds of mutations full of frozen wormholes?
Ryan said: "For a monster like this that dwells, you can only rely on outwitting and not attacking, too many people will make mistakes, this is not as good as two countries at war, and the army is relatively at war." Do you remember when we searched for the soul fragments of the seven gods together? By the way, then again, have you opened the ability to control the three pets?"
Dragon City replied: "It's already opened, just half a year ago, after returning to Canossa City after completing the Wrath of the Goddess of Nature, I was informed by Her Majesty that as long as people who have made many contributions to the human kingdom can check the archives of Canossa City to confirm, they can open the ability to control the three pets." β
Puth asked, "By the way, Master Lane, why did the worms in the frozen wormhole mutate?"
Ryan replied as he walked: "According to ancient documents, the insects of the frozen wormhole do not belong to the demon forces, and they also tend to be neutral, and have never participated in the dispute between humans and demons, and have been stationed in their own territory for generations. At that time, the original master of the frozen wormhole was the resident worm Esker, and hundreds of years ago, when the demon army attacked humans, the demon sent the officer of the Zerg Legion to defeat Esker, and at the same time, Esker also gave control of the wormhole. Instead of expelling it, Snowy left it in the wormhole and led a group of special bugs to protect the Zerg's heirloom treasure "Ice Crystal Crystal". β
Long Cheng said: "Could it be that Snoxi seems to have some connection with the demons, and its magic power has affected the Zerg in the wormhole, causing them to produce terrifying mutations, and that's how it came about?"
Ryan replied: "Yes, because the local Zerg of the Frozen Wormhole did not practice the magic of the demons, so naturally it still maintained its original form, but since Snowy occupied the Frozen Wormhole, the Zerg Legion led by it also stayed in the Frozen Wormhole, and the Zerg of the original Frozen Wormhole bred offspring, which caused the Zerg mutation of the Frozen Wormhole." β
Long Cheng asked, "Is the mutated Zerg more powerful than the previous Zerg?"
"Stupid, do you need to ask?" said Puth, "or why would they mutate?"
Long Cheng glanced at him and said, "You're stupid, the mutation is not what they want to mutate, but because of the influence of the magic of the alien zerg, do you think they mutated to become stronger?"
"Okay, why do you two always like to fight for wins and loses?" Ryan said, "Dragon City is right, the natives of the Frozen Worm Cave are not mutated to become stronger, they are mutated by the influence of magic, but they have indeed become more powerful than before, and most of them are ferocious. β
Enna said, "Master Lane, have you ever been to the Xiaoice island where the frozen worm burrow is located?"
Ryan replied, "Yes, I have been there before, and I have been there like most adventurers, but at that time, my purpose was to pursue the connection between man, god and demon like Haven and others. β
"Huh?" said Long Cheng, "so you know everything that Harvin knows, right?"
Ryan said: "I know, but I don't know everything, even if two people go to investigate the same thing, but the information they get is different, although they are similar, there are still differences in their views, understandings and depths of analysis." β
"Then why didn't you tell us about the connection between humans, gods, and demons earlier, but asked Harvin to tell us?" asked Long Cheng.
Ryan was silent for a moment, and said, "Is this important? Besides, there are many things that you shouldn't know. Haven't you heard Haven say, the more you know, the more confused you become, or sometimes you lose the confidence to follow the path of the brave? β
"How come?" Long Cheng smiled disdainfully, "Hmph! In my opinion, Master Ryan is selling Guanzi again." β
Ryan said: "As the saying goes, if the needle doesn't pierce the flesh, you don't know the pain, and you will naturally understand when the time comes." β
Enna said: "In this case, Master Ryan told us about the characteristics of the Zerg monsters in the frozen wormhole, which makes us take precautions when entering the frozen wormhole." β
Ryan said: "Actually, I didn't attack the Worm King Snoosy all the time, because my purpose was not for the Ice Armor Scroll, so I came out not long after entering the Ice Sealed Wormhole. But I've heard from other people about the attack characteristics of the Zerg monsters inside the Frozen Wormhole. β
"Then tell us all about it. Enna urged.
Ryan replied, "Okay then. Each lord in the frozen wormhole lives in his own wormhole, guarding the passage to the insect king Snowy, and outside these lords there are heavy guards, although the number of troops is not much, but the strength must not be ignored, most of them are hard beetles, explosive insects, poisonous insects, bloodthirsty insects, most of them are as large as humans, some are above 1.5 tuo. As the name suggests, the hard beetle is a kind of beetle with a very hard shell, which is not only huge, but also has an unexpectedly strong defensive ability; the blaster is a kind of zerg that suddenly explodes, this kind of attack is not suitable for many people, because once it explodes, it is impossible to escape, just like the blasters we met in the Gane mausoleum; as for the poisonous insects, it is a race that sprays poisonous mist; the most terrifying is the bloodthirsty insects, they are a kind of magic cast on the opponent, forming a kind of double-edged sword, if the recruiter attacks them, they will also receive the same attack, becoming a self-harming attackγ β
"Huh, is there such a thing?" asked Angel.
Ryan said: "There are many things in the world of magic that we can't think of, and to deal with this kind of monster, we can only attack them preemptively, and we must kill them in a short time, and we can't give them a chance to fight back." Once you get this trick, you can run away and let your teammates attack them, this kind of magic also has a certain time limit, and once the time limit passes, it will naturally be invalid. β
