Chapter 1182: Spirit Eater
Although Lin Fei had applied light spirit techniques and wind resistance techniques to everyone, the travel speed of the lower spirits was always limited. This made Lin Fei have to slow down and take care of their marching rhythm.
Otherwise, if there was really any danger and he was not there, maybe these twenty or so subordinates would be wiped out.
Lin Fei couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said that it would be nice if there were an arcane spaceship or a warship or something like that. Even if they fly at low altitudes, they can't be so slow.
Through his conversations with the captives along the way, he also learned more about Scarlet Worm Ridge. For example, during the day, there are also various mutated creatures in the jungle, but they are scarce in number, and they are not as fierce and powerful as night beasts.
In the past, Dai Aina Luwei dragged a star to fall, and I don't know if it was her or the influence of that star, the blood-colored insect ridge would completely devour the starlight and moonlight sprinkled in the sky at night, plunging the heavens and the earth into darkness where the five fingers could not be seen.
And with the absorption of the starlight and moonlight, Diana Luwei's qi was also strong, covering the entire Scarlet Worm Ridge, forming a special environment suitable for the survival activities of the night beasts - there had never been a case of a night beast leaving the Scarlet Worm Ridge, which was enough to prove that these mutated monsters were not suitable for survival in the outside world.
Over the years, the night beasts have also figured out a set of rules for survival.
During the day, Diana Luvi's influence wanes, and many of the night beasts retreat to her nearby lair. The closer you are to her, the less or even no negative effects you will have.
The night beasts scattered in distant places can only settle for the next best, collecting the solid blood-colored slime all over the ground like a shell, compressing and condensing to build a special nest, which they inhabit during the day.
After all, it was also a product formed by the infection of Diana Luwei's qi, which somewhat had the breath of the starry sky zerg. For the night beasts that are infected and spawned, they have a certain protective effect.
"These night beasts are so rampant, can Sin City let them go?" asked Gu Xiaoyu.
The Arcane captive shook his head and said, "What's the matter, there are four Heavenly Kings in Sin City, and the Night Beast also has five powerhouses in the Earth Spirit Realm. Coupled with the fact that Sin City is surrounded by aura mushrooms, which can ensure the safety of the city, who wants to fight the night beasts to the end?"
"Just get used to it, this is the situation in Scarlet Worm Ridge, it has been maintained for many years. ”
"All in all, the Scarlet Worm Ridge is safe during the day. As long as you don't get close to Diana Luvi, you won't encounter the boundless fierce night beasts. Generally speaking, as long as you don't encounter people from Sin City and don't take the initiative to kill into the lair where the night beasts live, a character like the little marquis can already walk sideways. ”
When Lin Fei heard this, he was thoughtful, and suddenly asked, "Then do you know where there is a nest where night beasts inhabit?"
The Arcane captive's face instantly stiffened, and he immediately looked at Lin Fei with a frightened expression, but saw that the latter's expression was calm and determined, and he obviously had some ideas.
In his opinion, there were many night beasts in the upper spirit realm who died in battle last night, but he was afraid that many night beast nests were in a state of leaderlessness. Now if you plunder it, you will definitely be able to make a profit.
"I know where the mutant worm's nest is!" a captive spoke.
"I'll check it out tomorrow. Lin Fei made a decision and decided to go collect the energy crystal first today.
After about twenty minutes, the crystal vein appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
It covers an area about the size of four football fields, with a pitted surface and only a few sparse open-pit crystals. It is not difficult to see that the crystal ore on the surface has been collected, and what is left behind is completely useless waste. The energy contained in it is extremely weak, and it is estimated that it can only make the arcane light up for half a day.
The captives were sensible, and immediately took out their pickaxes and prepared to get to work.
First, it is convenient for collection and mining, and second, it combines the power of technology and arcane arts, and has nano-repair technology. Even if a pickaxe goes down and the intact crystal ore is dug into two sections, the crack will be instantly covered with a repair film to prevent energy from escaping and leaking.
Unfortunately, they don't have enough pickaxes, not just one of them.
Lin Fei didn't take the pickaxe and walked into this area first. He felt a faint tingling sensation again, but it quickly subsided.
As the captive had said, his arcane core fell silent, unable to summon a single ounce of arcane energy.
After the lower spirit came here, his body suddenly had a series of reactions, coughing, itching, and skin stinging as if he had been pricked by a needle.
"Hurry up. Lin Fei said this, and walked down the reclaimed passage to the underground.
When he stepped inside, he heard a "squeak" sound, and saw a lot of strange insects the size of cockroaches on the stone walls and the ground.
Soul Eater.
Feed on a variety of energy-rich stones and minerals. Many spirit eaters had apparently devoured the energy crystals, so much so that their bodies showed some signs of crystallization. The greater the degree of crystallization, the more energy crystals are engulfed.
When they saw the intruder coming, they screamed angrily, flapped their wings and flew all over the sky, trying to gnaw at the intruder with their sharp teeth.
If he could use arcane art in normal times, Lin Fei would be able to kill them all casually.
But now you can only rely on your physical body, but it's quite troublesome, is it possible to slap the past to death?
But this matter was not enough to bother Lin Fei.
He stood calmly in place, his hands behind his back, unmoving.
On both sides behind Lin Fei, there were captives of the Protoss and the Multi-Eyed Clan rushing out, carrying a wild electromagnetic weapon like a heavy Gauss cannon, and directly pulled the trigger and fired!
When a strong electric current passes through a coil around a magnetically conducting cylinder, the strong mutual magnetic force causes the bullets placed in it to shoot extremely quickly.
Theoretically, if the energy is large enough, the initial velocity of a bullet can be close to the speed of light, and at this terrifying speed, even a coin can have enormous destructive power - that is, a scientific super-electromagnetic cannon.
"Whoa—"
Thousands of beams of orange-red light were as thin as a millimeter, forming a brilliant storm of death. Under the all-round strafing of the two captives turning their guns, a large number of soul-eating insects let out a terrible scream, and their bodies suddenly exploded, scattering and scattering all over the sky.
After the ceasefire, the cannon continued to rotate slowly, and green smoke emanated from the barrel.
In the face of the fragmented insect corpses all over the ground, many people picked them up on the spot, either accepting them, or directly putting them in their mouths and chewing them, making a "rattling" crisp sound, and then swallowing them with satisfaction.
After all, insects that feed on energy crystals also contain a lot of energy in their bodies.
