Chapter 62 Review of the Magical Area
"Gudu Gudu", on the crystal-neng stove, the thick soup gradually turned up a bunch of bubbles. The milky white soup exuded a creamy aroma, and small pieces of gray-brown meat rolled in the soup. Accompanied by the meat, were the brown tubers of Vaughan vine. The soup was rolling, and the steaming hot air floated out of the pot and hovered to the top of the cave. Several girls lay tiredly beside the crystal, pillowing arms, staring at the star-like crystals on the top of the high cave. Pannis held a calves with a calves in his hand, and the knife in his right hand was nimble and wandering around the Yalan root. The thick outer skin of the Yalan root fell to the ground with the knife waving, revealing the white and tender fleshy part inside.
"I'm ready to eat, get up." Xiaodao flexibly between Pannis' fingers, changing the trend from vertical to horizontal cut. The Yalan roots that exuded the unique fragrance of plants were cut into thick slices of equal size in a blink of an eye. They flew out of Pannis's hands, and piece by piece connected in the air and fell directly into the boiling broth. As soon as the water was injected into the water, the originally white fleshy root slices turned into a light goose yellow under the action of temperature, and rolled in the water and looked even more crystal clear.
"It smells so tempting." Catherine sat cross-legged, looking at the soup in the pot with her chin, and smiled bitterly: "But I'm afraid everyone won't have any appetite. After all, the last battle just now was really... t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t after all... t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t after all... t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t after all... t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t after all... t t t t t t t t t t t t
A few hours ago, after everyone rushed out of the cave without any danger, they encountered no enemies along the way. They broke through the fifth and sixth floors in succession and entered the seventh floor. After entering the seventh floor, the light here was brighter than the first two floors. Large pieces of crystal stone grew together in clusters, and it looked dazzling. The girls then realized that sometimes the environment with light was more headache than darkness. When it was bright everywhere, people in it would soon feel dizzy. Over time, they would even have ghosts in front of them, and they could not observe the surrounding environment to discover enemies. In this case, perhaps wearing sunglasses can effectively alleviate the impact of strong light. But besides understanding the situation, Ike, who would carry sunglasses with him during the adventures deep into the ground?
In desperation, the girls had to squint their eyes and pass through clusters of crystals. Fortunately, Ike introduced that there are only a few locations where this kind of crystal will grow in concentrated areas, and everything will be normal after leaving here. However, the journey has not been smooth. A large number of snake-like insects grow in these crystal clusters. They are about the thickness of their thumbs, but after stretching their bodies, they can often reach three meters in length. The body shell is dazzlingly bright white, and the tail is tightly wrapped around the crystal cluster.
The body shrinks to a length of tens of centimeters in sequence, straight and horizontally at the highest brightness of a cluster of crystals, looking like a horizontal crystal. Under the interference of strong light, it is almost impossible to find their abnormalities. Once a creature passes by, the insects will pop out like a spring compressed to the limit and return to its original length. The conical carapace on the head can penetrate deeply into the body of the prey. As the whole body will quickly drill in, starting to eat the prey from the inside.
This is a mutant of the arrowhead bug. The girls once saw distant relatives of this insect in the fog forest in the flash forest. At that time, they were hidden among the trees, and they were only about thirty centimeters short. But now they have not only increased ten times in size, but also mutated into growing with crystal stones. When I got here just now, if I hadn't explained in advance that there would be arrowhead bugs here. The girls could not find these insects disguised as crystal stones. Even if they were reminded in advance, they would have squinted their eyes and searched for a long time before barely finding these sinister bugs.
No one knows whether the power of these insects can break through the legendary shield, and no one wants to test it with their bodies. So whenever they pass through a large crystal cluster that cannot be bypassed, Catherine will use two kite shields to tightly block various parts of the body. The others hid on the other side of Catherine and passed carefully. During this period, they alarmed the arrowhead bugs several times, but they still stopped in front of the metal-cast kite shield. However, after the dull impact, several shallow depressions were left on the kite shield, and the arrowhead bugs that were hit bounced back on the crystal cluster were completely unscathed, which shows how hard the arrow part was.
Leaving the bright and dazzling area, the surrounding crystal density returned to normal sparseness. The girls finally opened their eyes without any worries, but as soon as they opened their eyes, everyone encountered the most intense battle since the adventure. It was in an environment of sparse crystals. The existence of a small number of crystals above the head allowed everyone to see the things around them. As soon as they entered this area, the five people in the adventure group felt a very strong magic energy. This was the first time everyone knew that in addition to sunlight, the high-concentration crystal light could also inhibit the spread of magic energy. Because of this, the dark space above the fifth layer was not eroded by magic energy. Under the fifth layer, except for the area illuminated by a large number of crystals, all other locations have been occupied by magic energy.
Shortly after everyone entered this area, they were suddenly attacked by a large number of demonized insects. The natural attack on creatures made these demonized insects extremely fierce and had extremely low intelligence. In order to kill the creatures, they completely ignored their lives. As long as they could bite the creatures, they would not matter if they were torn to pieces.
Because the demonized energy is afraid of the light of the crystal, the demonized creatures are not afraid to leave this area, so a lot of demon insects gathered here. Although the adventure group sensed the demonized energy and prepared in advance, they never expected that such a large number of demonized creatures would come at the same time. For a moment, all the space around the team was filled with the demonized creatures, and even there was little space to move.
The battle situation has entered a white-hot stage from the beginning. The characteristics of the insects make them ignore the terrain. Whether it is the top of the cave or the ground, they can come from any direction like tides. Looking around, there are overlapping insects as high as hills. The visual effect alone will bring endless pressure to people's hearts.
Faced with this situation, Panis directly unfolded the inherent spiritual realm, bringing more than half of the bugs into it, and also gave the girls room to adjust their tactics. In a critical moment, Catherine directly opened the legion defense. The Knights' phantoms occupied all the space around the girls, and followed Lina to call out the invisible barrier, blocking the insects' intention to pass through the Knights' gaps.
However, it can be defended against the ground, but cannot defend against the air. Whether it is flying insects or climbing insects, they can easily break through the air and land directly on the heads of the girls. Fortunately, there are Vivian and Freya. Vivian dare not use fire-attribute magic easily, so he can only replace it with large areas of wind-attribute magic. In an instant, he saw colorful crystal bottles flying up from her hand, and exploded in the air and produced violent magic fluctuations. Countless winds
The blade hovered above the girls' heads, grinding all the falling insects into pieces like a meat grinder. The insect's minced meat and juice fell from the air like rain. The sprinkled girls were covered with fishy liquid. If an extra powerful insect broke through Vivian's Wind Blade Purgatory, the roar of the crystal-energy gun would sound, and the energy ball with cold air would bombard the broken insects in time, freezing the demonized insects into a ball of ice and flying backwards, hitting the rock wall and shattering into several pieces.
As for Eke, who is the guide, he now knows that he is actually a special ranged axe warrior. He uses a throwing spiral axe. Two spiral axes fly out from their left and right hands, hovering in the air like a butterfly, and cooperates with Freya to clean up the bugs that have escaped the net.
The high-intensity battle lasted for half an hour. When Panis returned from the space of the inherent spiritual realm for the second time, the five people were already tired and fell to the ground, not caring about the overflowing insect juice and the broken limbs of minced meat all over the ground. They collapsed on the minced meat and were reluctant to move a finger. Roughly estimated, not to mention the bugs that were taken away by Panis twice, they were wiped out by only the five legends, and the number was more than 50,000.
Under the urging of Panis, the five people barely got up and went forward for another hour exhausted. They stopped to camp and rest before entering the entrance to the eighth floor. None of the five people had the strength to complete any more work, so the camping task could only be left to Panis alone to handle.
"It's my fault." Ike also supported Catherine, his hands trembling slightly due to the loss of strength. He took the broth handed by Panis: "When I came here before, there were very few demonized creatures, and I didn't expect that so many would gather this time. I'm really sorry, because of my negligence, I almost caused irreparable losses."
"You can't blame you either." Catherine shook her head and said, "The concentration and range of demonized energy will always change at any time, and no one can predict it, let alone the last time you came ten years ago. In fact, if I had made complete preparations when I entered the demonized energy zone, it would not be so miserable now. Okay, let's do the things to summarize the experience later. You guys, hurry up, no matter what, you have to eat and rest."
"But, sister, we really can't eat it." Freya sat up with a bitter face and said sadly: "When I think of the feeling I felt on my body just now, I... vomit..."
