Chapter 530: The Battle of the Worm's Nest (Part 1)
Underground Insect Nest, this is a competition map specially produced by the producer for this e-sports competition at the request of the operator and organizer. According to past practice, the map will remain in the game until it is randomly selected.
It's kept under wraps until it makes its debut.
For the audience, the specially designed game maps have more or less characteristics, so they are very worth watching. Moreover, both sides are not familiar with the map and do not know the special points in it. There are even cases where the two sides are not familiar with the map before the battle.
One of the parties has already suffered heavy losses and is unable to fight anymore.
But for the players, new maps mean variables and unknowns. Although the inability to master the map is the same for both sides, too many unknowns will increase one's own mistakes, so let others do it.
Experimenting with new maps is the way to go.
For example, the giant forest and space city that the Frenzy Squadron once randomly visited were maps that had appeared in previous games and were then made public. Because of this, they were able to study the maps before the game. When they randomly arrived at this type of map,
When playing the map, you will not fall into passiveness.
But at this time, during the battle between the Empire's strongest five and the Phoenix five, the underground insect nest that was randomly visited was a new map that had never appeared before. Neither side had ever experienced this map, so naturally there were no advantages or disadvantages.
In other words, the new tricks in the map are a common obstacle for both parties.
After the battle officially started, a total of ten mechas from both sides rushed in at the same time. However, within a few seconds after entering, everyone stopped and began to observe the surrounding environment.
The underground insect nest is different from the previous closed maps. Previous maps such as the underground labyrinth and ancient mausoleum are all artificial transformations. Relatively speaking, the internal conditions are relatively regular, and it is possible to randomly switch to a illuminated environment to reduce complexity.
.
However, the underground insect nest has no trace of artificial carving at all. It is completely a nest dug by some kind of creature. Such a nest is naturally not regular, so the surrounding walls are full of potholes and the passages are large and small.
The same goes for lighting, there are no artificial traces. There are no lighting facilities, and certain creatures living here obviously do not need lighting, so it is completely dark here with no light. If you select this map, the environment will also be reduced.
Only without lighting.
The ten mechas that entered the insect nest had turned on their thermal imaging cameras. What they saw before them was the uneven cave wall with many huge insect pupae hanging on it. The ground was also uneven, and there seemed to be some kind of mucus. They
The space it is in is not small, and there are several passages connected to it.
Judging from the radar, the entrance where the players are now is a space like a front hall. After that, there is no such open place. The passages are not very spacious, but it is very easy for a mecha to pass through.
It's calm, but two stations would be quite crowded. Three stations is the limit.
No one knows what is behind the passage. Within the limit of the radar's detection range, all are intricate passages, and they are not like artificial construction. The passages here are completely irregular, some are connected to each other, and some are not.
No contact at all.
How to go next? This poses a problem for players on both sides. According to common sense, let the scouts go ahead to explore the road and try their best to feedback all the terrain on the radar. Let the team leader get a complete map as soon as possible.
The map is the first priority.
But this is a new map, and there are many unknowns here. Especially the name of this map, Underground Insect Hive, makes everyone think about it. The scene of countless ferocious insects swarming in many people's minds.
emerge in.
Judging from the name of the map, there is a high possibility of neutral creatures in this map. Without knowing whether these creatures pose a threat to the mecha, it is very dangerous to rashly let a mecha advance alone. Electronic concealment can only
It works on the mecha's radar, but many animals have special sensory organs that can detect it.
What to do? Not long after, the ten mechas on both sides gave the answer, which was to temporarily move forward collectively. Both sides followed their usual alert movement formation, selected one of the passages at an unpleasant speed, and began to move forward.
The audience was also unfamiliar with this map, and they didn't know exactly what would happen. However, looking at the movement trajectories on both sides, their hearts were in their throats, because on their moving route, there were
Neutral creatures, giant insects.
Although it is said to be giant, that is a relative term compared with ordinary insects. The insects that appeared on both sides of the route looked like mantises, spiders, locusts, and were half as tall as a person.
For a mecha, it's tiny, but for an insect, it's huge.
The focus of the audience's attention now is the camp distribution of these insects. Although they are neutral creatures, they are not necessarily in a neutral state. They may be in a hostile state like space city guards. The intuitive difference between these two states is that
It showed up on the radar.
The speeds of both sides were almost the same, and the radar detection range was basically close to the first insect gathering point. Under the attention of the audience, the mecha approached the insect swarm step by step, and then the insect swarm was displayed on the radars of both sides.
, red light spot!
Red light spot! Hostile state! If you think about it carefully, this is inevitable. The contestants have broken into the nest of the insect swarm. How can the insect swarm remain neutral? Of course, all the uninvited guests must be cleared out.
The audience was instantly excited. Under such a situation, the mechas of both sides need to be more vigilant and can use more. Naturally, a wonderful game can be played.
The ten mechas on both sides stopped the moment they saw the red dot. This was their first reaction when they encountered the enemy. But soon, everyone understood the real situation. The opponent could not be so fast.
When the speed reaches here, and if you continue to move forward, you will find that the number is wrong, there is much more.
Then the only explanation is that they are hostile neutral creatures. After discovering this situation, everyone had a headache, especially Barr. The Devil Squadron did not distinguish between neutral troops and enemies clearly, so they fell into the trap of the Frenzy Squadron and eventually lost.
Lost the game.
After stopping for a moment, the five groups on both sides started to move forward again. Not long after, they arrived at a position where they could visually confirm the red dots. After confirming the number of insects and the absence of other hostile signs around, both sides were almost at a distance.
An attack was launched at the same time.
Originally, it was very unnecessary to fight neutral creatures on such a map, but now, these neutral creatures are not as clear as soldiers or mechas. No one knows how much damage these insects can cause to mechas.
.
Therefore, before formulating tactics, it is necessary to determine the basic attributes and special abilities of neutral creatures. Just like now, when these insects take action, they surprise everyone. Actually, all giant insects have long-range attacks.
.
The surprises were not just these. Just when both sides were hurriedly changing their formations and preparing to move the defensive mechas to the front for defense, there was a shaking under their feet. Dozens of insects the size of puppies and similar to beetles emerged from the
He came out of the ground and rushed towards the mecha. (This website (.) Your support is my greatest motivation.)
