Chapter 573: Competition
The killing, from the moment you reach the lower level, begins.
Lu Ping'an put on heavy armor and took the lead (mainly because he disliked his teammate Taicai) and rushed into the monster community.
Once the low-consumption flame triple attack is deployed, it will be the end of clearing the field on a battlefield of this level.
At this time, Lu Ping'an had no intention of staying.
The flames surrounded it, and the monsters that approached directly turned into charred corpses, easily piercing the beasts that stood in their way.
But this does not mean that the "invaders" and their party have the advantage After isolating the passage of the upper and lower floors, the reinforcements from outside cannot enter, and the adventurers trapped in the underground palace have become turtles in the urn.
No matter how strong you are, after losing supplies and backup, the other party only needs to hang you, and you can wait until the moment you collapse.
"Aren't there any intelligent monsters?"
This time the encounter on the 21st floor ended very quickly.
The student soldiers can probably only be cheerleaders in the back.
"Nope."
This is a bit of a bad result.
The beast tide cannot be killed, and the wisdom monster, as the master here, must be limited.
Lu Ping'an needs the intelligence of the intelligent monster to understand everything that is happening in the local area, and at the same time, to find other passages.
Looking up, the rock wall is very high, and the surrounding stone walls are still inlaid with spars and weird raw ores, and the underground palace after the 20th floor is already a magic mining area of great value.
In the past, there should have been many "miners" here, but now they can't see anything.
"Does this happen often?"
"Probably a period of turmoil, not very common."
"We met once before, but at that time we were on the fifth floor, so we went back directly with the big team, and I heard that there were a lot of losses in the lower layer."
"In this case, you should wait for reinforcements, right?"
"No, no, no, who knows when the reinforcements will come, they still have to find their way down. I heard that at this time, you still have to find a way to find a safer area by yourself. ”
The students don't have much actual combat experience, but they have heard a lot of messy information, and now Lu Ping'an asked, expressing their opinions, so it is not lively.
Although there is a lot of unreliable news in it, when it comes to their own life and death, a lot of effective information has been collected, and the current situation is becoming clearer and clearer after a little tidying up.
In a sense, it is not uncommon for the underground palace to have autonomous disturbances due to many reasons.
After all, this is not an orderly secret realm controlled by the righteous gods, but a wild secret realm that is completely out of control.
However, due to the different reasons for the occurrence, the scale and consequences are also different, and the most troublesome thing is that the other side has "reinforcements" from the outside world.
From the surrounding foreign lands or kingdoms, a strong man came, dragged the local residents, carried out the strangulation of low-level adventurers, and killed and injured their living forces, which often attracted reciprocal revenge, but in fact, there were quite a few occurrences.
This is the most troublesome situation, because no one can be sure what level the "big guy" who came over, and the local several clean regimental annihilations were all because the river dragon was too strong, and he cleared the field directly before the reinforcements arrived.
Secondly, there are powerful creatures in the local area, and a new king has appeared. The chiefs of the tribe were competitive and cooperative with each other, and each had its own territory.
But if a chieftain's strength grows by leaps and bounds and presents an overwhelming advantage, it is like a Genghis Khan appearing on the steppe, and after integrating the forces of various tribes, he will naturally find a rich prey to attack.
There is also a possibility that a certain chief or big man suddenly went crazy twice every two months, which is not uncommon, but judging from the results
It should be the first two possibilities, if just one chief goes crazy and won't directly blow up the passages on each floor, a beast tide commotion of this scale can only be a plural tribal action."
Lu Ping'an suddenly, in this way, the easiest way to deal with it
"Or wait for help." This is how nine out of ten survivors deal with it, just find a safe area to huddle together to keep warm, or fight guerrilla warfare and wait for support.
"Or, kill the source of the turmoil."
——
For the Grey Axe Tribe, this is a long-awaited pomp and festival.
In the past, the small and medium-sized tribes that could only be mixed in the shallow level have now become the king of the underground palace.
Here, it is their world, and today, it is time for their counter-attack.
"Kill them, kill these outsiders."
"We're finally getting out of this cage, this damn underworld"
"Is the outside world really as beautiful as our ancestors said?"
This is a derivative world of the Super Threat World Zero World, and in the largest crater in the region, there is an entire kingdom, a troublesome "country" that needs to be dealt with by the garrison of the ancient city.
As its radiation world, it is suppressed by humans very deadly, and regular cleaning is inevitable, and it is also a norm to regard it as a mining area.
But what happens if you don't?
The tide of beasts here will gush out, and the small world that is too close to the zero world cannot be transformed into an orderly world by the power of the righteous gods.
It's not far from the ancient city, and once the embankment bursts, it's simply unacceptable.
It's hard to say who is the invader, this world is human, these foreign visitors/native species are actually foreign, but the small world in the world here has given birth to intelligent species, often no more than ten years old, and they regard it as their own.
And if it's just the level of a beast, even an extremely cunning beast is easier to deal with, but it is still the "kingdom" of the zero world, and it has intermittently sent people to spread wisdom, knowledge, and culture, so that one by one the wisdom of the beasts have become beasts that gather in groups.
Their dream may be to break through the human barrier and go to the ancestral land in the dream realm, the legendary world of zero, the infinite underground palace kingdom.
This has become a practice and a spiritual inheritance, and even the Great Purge cannot be eradicated.
Occasionally, if they do succeed, then the warriors who are squatting at the level will suffer a cruel fate.
But more often than not, they will only follow the orders of their own "source" and become cannon fodder to pull the defenders' forces.
This is also the root of the official opening of these derivative caves to the people, cleaning them up, and also helping the main battlefield.
Peaceful coexistence? These areas will continue to spawn endless monsters, most of which are destined to be unintelligent beasts, and even after gaining wisdom, their bloodthirsty, cannibalistic nature will not be corrected, and both sides are destined to be mortal enemies from the beginning.
Unlike newcomers, veterans are used to this regular "tumult period".
In this twenty-seven deepest pithole, there are countless safe houses, which will only be activated urgently at the most critical moments.
Some of them cooperated and waited for reinforcements, some hid in the nearest safe zone, some were even more familiar with the terrain than the local monsters, and some had already organized a counterattack.
When newcomers like Lu Ping'an were still collecting intelligence in a daze, the two sides were already in full swing.
On the seventh floor, the eleventh floor, the fifteenth floor, the seventeenth floor, the twentieth floor, the twenty-fourth floor, and the twenty-sixth floor, with the broken upper and lower passages as the assembly point, a cruel and direct competition for survival is being staged.
