Rather than saying that this is a stone chamber, it is better to say that this is the nursery of the queen ant. Adult ore-eating ants crawl through the passages from all directions, constantly transporting ore into it.
Inside the stone chamber, you can still vaguely see the white ore-eating ant eggs and the ore-eating ant queen with only a huge trunk that is constantly eating ore.
Miner-Eating Ant: Level 19, HP 986, Skills Bite, Corrosion
Ore-eating Soldier Ant (Elite): Level 19, HP 2239, skills bite, collision, corrosion.
"I can't see the attributes of the queen ant. It should be a lord monster. Those worker ants are relatively easy to kill. The soldier ants only have one more collision except that their attributes are a little higher. But there are too many of them.
If you want to deal with the queen ant, you can only clear out the worker ants in each channel first."
Although he had expected it, but hearing that the other party made the same judgment as him, Sherlock couldn't help but feel a wave of fluctuation in his heart.
He has only seen the lord-level BOSS once since he entered the game, and he has been brushed against the fifth-level spiny rat countless times. But even so, that BOSS still revealed a piece of leather armor of excellent quality.
The ore-eating ant queen in front of him is at least level 20. He is also a lord level, and it is his first time. Even if he can only get 30% of its drops, it is a huge amount, which will not affect his future in the next few months.
Living expenses can be covered.
Mikasa described the current situation in a few words. Sherlock didn't have any better suggestions after listening to it. The worker ants in the clear light channel were a little stupid, but it was indeed an effective method. After all, games are not like reality. Link
There are a total of 5 passages left in the queen ant's stone chamber, which are acceptable.
These passages are actually quite narrow, and can only accommodate four mine-eating ants passing through at the same time. There are just two rows of ants going back and forth. For players, three people standing inside will almost block the entire passage.
"We will go directly up to block the road on the left later. Allen will be responsible for blocking the part of the mining ants that come in. You contain those coming back from behind, and I will provide support from the center." Mikasa, who had already surveyed the terrain beforehand, pointed in one direction.
said.
"No problem!" There is no problem with this tactic. There are not many mine-eating ants returning from the rear after transporting ore. It is not difficult for Sherlock to deal with it, but he is a little doubtful whether Allen, the barbarian warrior, can block the continuous flow of food from the front.
Mining ants.
After deciding on a strategy, the three of them spotted an opening and ran over, blocking the road in the middle.
Mikasa stood between the two of them and began to take out various dismantled machine parts from her backpack.
Most of the rangers are good at the shooting style of crossbows and the melee style using various auxiliary spells. As for traps and other traps, few people specialize in them. However, Mikasa in front of her can assemble large traps so skillfully. Obviously, she is very good at traps.
He has quite high attainments.
With a "click", Mikasa's mechanism was finally assembled completely. During this period, Sherlock had been guessing what it would be. He already had an answer in his mind, but when he actually saw the real thing, he was still a little surprised.
The other party actually assembled a heavy crossbow. Looking at the exaggerated shape, you knew that the properties of this weapon were definitely not simple. If he had faced this thing at the entrance of the cave just now, he might not have been able to survive.
"The monster is here, let's start, Eren, just like yesterday." Mikasa said, pointing the heavy crossbow forward and aiming at the nearest mine-eating ant.
As soon as the bow was pulled, a crossbow arrow that was several times thicker than a normal arrow shot straight away.
-86, a high amount of weak point damage appeared on the mine-eating ant, and the huge power of the crossbow forced it back by more than 10 yards.
Terrifying, this was Sherlock's first feeling when he saw this scene. Mikasa's extremely high shooting accuracy and high attack power of the heavy crossbow were blocked on the road, and it would have been like a person blocking the way to kill the Buddha. If it weren't for the attack of the heavy crossbow,
The speed was so slow that even the ore-eating ants couldn't crawl past them.
But even if he crawled over, it would probably be useless. Eren, a barbarian warrior, waved a huge mace in front of Mikasa. The mining ants that had finally approached were whipped away again by the stick. From this
Judging from the knockback distance, his power must have exceeded 20.
The battle situation ahead was worry-free. Sherlock also transformed into a half-cat form and killed the mine-eating ants returning from the stone chamber. The attack HP of these mine-eating ants was actually very average, but their year-round consumption of ores made their defense a bit weak.
High, if his Ice Soul slashes up and fails to hit the vital point, it will only do 29 points of damage.
More than six hours later, the mine-eating ants on this road were finally cleared away. After picking up a pile of silver ores and various gems, the three of them repeated their tricks and moved to another passage.
After more than thirty hours of continuous fighting, with a ding, Sherlock finally reached level 14. In addition to four skill points, he also got another attribute point of his own. Needless to say, he still invested in strength.
Above, before learning more skills, strength will be his main direction of adding points.
The three of them have been cleaning for two days and one night almost without stopping, and are now clearing the last passage.
Simply spawning monsters and upgrading is an extremely boring thing, but with tacit cooperation, sometimes a wonderful chemical reaction will occur, giving people an addictive pleasure.
Sherlock was in this state at the moment. The constant killing had made him ignore his physical fatigue and mental weakness, which was similar to the feeling after reaching the extreme limit of exercise.
It didn't take long for Mikasa to kill the last wandering ore-eating ant with a knife, and the three of them returned to the door of the stone chamber to discuss countermeasures.
"Looking at the situation inside the stone chamber, the queen ant inside is probably a lord-level BOSS. The elite monsters in the circle outside must be pulled out first and dealt with." Sherlock analyzed as he looked inside the stone chamber.
There are at least a hundred ore-eating soldier ants inside, and they are surrounded by two groups around the queen. The stone chamber is definitely not allowed to be entered, and can only be pulled out in groups to deal with it separately.
"I can use the heavy crossbow to pull the monsters. When the monsters arrive at the door of the stone chamber, Alan, you and this big brother will pull the monsters aside one on the left and the other on the right."
"Okay, Mikasa." Allen agreed with a smile.
Sherlock had long been used to the anomalies of these two teammates, so he nodded and walked away.
Mikasa always spoke in a calm tone to herself every time, without any fluctuation in her tone, but she immediately changed her attitude towards Allen. Although she could not be called gentle, the concern in her words was palpable.
Allen's age shouldn't be very high, so it's quite normal when he's spawning monsters, but he seemed extremely timid when communicating at the beginning, and couldn't speak well. After such a long battle and Mikasa's constant comfort, he finally
Accept his existence calmly.
Looking at the two ore-eating soldier ants pulled out by Mikasa, Sherlock grabbed the one closest to him with provocation.
The HP of the elite monster was more than twice that of the ordinary monster, and its defense was also slightly improved. The efficiency was suddenly much lower. It took the three of them more than two hours to clear out all the ore-eating soldier ants in the periphery, and the remaining
Several of them were guarding the queen ant, and they were already beyond Mikasa's attack range.
