How could he be here... It was just the three of us who fell into this giant tree. Liu Zhe didn't come in at all. He should still be acting with Huang Xiao and the others at this moment.
I felt ridiculous in my heart, but when I saw Chen Ming's frightened expression, I still followed his gaze with raised eyebrows.
Chen Ming acted cautiously and lacked courage, but he wouldn't be frightened into hallucinating, right?
However, when Lin You looked over there, a look of astonishment suddenly flashed in his eyes.
That person is...Liu Zhe?
Diagonally ahead and a little further away...not far below the human-faced spider, or the Queen of Insects, a person is being tied firmly to a boulder by a large amount of insect silk.
The person on the boulder must have been in a coma for a long time, and his face was bloodless. There were also some insect threads scattered on the pale face, but he could still vaguely identify him, that was Liu Zhe!
"How can this be?"
Lin You was shocked. Could it be that Liu Zhe was also swallowed by the giant tree later?
But it doesn't make sense. They have been active in various caves since they were swallowed. How could Liu Zhe be kidnapped into this monster's wormhole quietly?
After all, Liu Zhe is also one of the top ten players on the Rising Stars list. When encountering difficulties, he will not have no ability to resist. On the way to resist, he should have discovered them and joined them.
Or maybe there are other entrances to this insect nest?
Regarding this point, Lin You didn't have time to analyze it carefully. Liu Zhe's current situation was very bad. In his perception, his breath was already very weak.
People are not dead, but from the perspective of disconnecting the soul, we know how dangerous it is.
In this state, any attack from a white star monster would be fatal to him!
Hua Peiling was also so surprised that the coldness on her face almost stopped.
This scene had a huge impact on the three of them.
After the initial shock, Lin You began to think deeply about how to rescue Liu Zhe. He had to think carefully about this matter.
It's definitely not going to work if we go ahead with this recklessly.
After disturbing the monster, their safety aside, Liu Zhe would definitely be dead.
With his soul disconnected, without the protection of the soul barrier, he cannot even actively use magic power to protect himself. With his small body, he may not even have enough to spend ten lives!
In the end, Liu Chi died, and they faced even greater dangers.
If this is the case, it is better not to save him!
While thinking about the rescue strategy, Lin You was still curious about one thing.
How did they get down?
According to his assumption, there might be some monster underground that controls the overall situation and has incredible individual strength. This conjecture has now been confirmed.
But what I didn't expect was that this monster was sleeping!
To say it was a disguise, Li Ziqiu couldn't detect any trace of disguise.
Of course, in the face of such an existence, even Li Ziqiu himself did not dare to be sure of his own judgment. Maybe the insect queen had some way to block or even mislead its perception.
At this time, unconditional trust in the perceived results will lead to disaster.
Previously, those caves had a strong sensory isolation effect, making it difficult for Chestnut Ball's perception to penetrate them.
Now it seems that this cave is probably the territory of the insect queen, and it would not be surprising that it has some means of shielding perception.
However, Lin You didn't quite think that the other party was sleeping on purpose.
Why does such a being need to seduce something in this way?
They have all been driven underground at this time. If they really want to explode, they can take action now!
As powerful as the Queen of Insects, would she still be afraid of the three of them in her own territory?
Even if Gunner Dragon is here, it is also a Red Star monster, and as the Insect Queen of the secret realm monster, its combat capabilities are likely to be superior to it, and it may even have a clear upper hand.
Even among the red star monsters, Gunner Dragon is definitely not weak!
Besides, assuming she is afraid of Gunner Dragon, how effective can such a temptation be?
Expecting to sneak attack on the gunner Long who is also a Red Star?
That's a bit ridiculous. The Gunner Dragon won't take the initiative to approach with nothing to do, and even if it is attacked by a sneak attack, with the powerful vitality of the Red Star level here, can it be killed with one hit?
And if the insect queen is really sleeping, who released the bursts of harsh sound waves just now?
Also, who dragged them down?
There were so many doubts that it was difficult for Lin You to digest them in a short time.
But his first consideration now is how to rescue the dying Liu Zhe.
If one doesn't do it right, the other may die.
Lin You was still thinking, but Chen Ming couldn't help but sent a message: "Lin You, do you think of any good ideas? Liu Zhe is still alive, but after a while, he may not be alive. Let's go up and help him untie him.
It’s probably very difficult to succeed. It’s not too sure, but he might not be able to hold on for too long without help. This…”
Chen Ming was extremely anxious, but he was in a dilemma and couldn't think of a perfect solution.
Hua Peiling said nothing, but she also frowned.
Although Liu Zhe and she didn't have much interaction, they were schoolmates and fellow travelers. Hua Peiling couldn't do anything to let him die like this.
At this time, she couldn't think of a way and subconsciously looked at Lin You.
But she didn't say anything. She could tell that Lin You was thinking, and it was not appropriate to talk to disrupt his train of thought at this time.
Lin You pondered for a moment and asked Li Ziqiu: "How is it, little guy, did you sense anything?"
"Coolie~"
Li Ziqiu shook his head with a grimace, and after sensing it for a long time, apart from the terrifying aura of the insect queen, he couldn't sense anything else at all.
However, it is difficult to be sure of this.
The Insect Queen's aura is too strong, and it's not a friendly one, so it covers a lot of people indiscriminately.
This is not the key, the key is that in this huge lair, the penetration of perception is obviously suppressed.
It is somewhat similar to the cave above, but has stronger suppressive power.
If he were up there, after being in the cave, Li Ziqiu would have a very clear perception of the things in the cave.
But here, even in the lair, it still looks a bit hazy.
Coupled with the huge aura disturbance, it is even more difficult for it to accurately discover whether there is any aura hidden in this space.
Is it difficult to feel...
Lin You frowned slightly and looked at Li Ziqiu again, "Little guy, go try it out and see how strong those worm threads are. Don't worry, just try it secretly."
The chestnut ball in the elf body state is almost invisible to humans and beasts alike.
As of now, the only people who are suspected of sensing its existence are a few of the most powerful people who are responsible for presiding over the throne battle in the National Freshman Exchange Competition.
Those people's strength is unfathomable and they are legendary duelists at least. How can ordinary people compare with them?
No, even if they are unusual, I am afraid not many people can be confused with them.
Therefore, Lin You is absolutely assured of the concealment of the chestnut ball in this state.
Li Ziqiu also quickly took action and flew slowly towards Liu Zhe.
Lin You also stared there closely, not forgetting to say to the two people beside him, "Don't panic, I have my own countermeasures."
After hearing what he said, both Hua Peiling and Chen Ming suddenly felt that the pressure in their hearts was relieved a lot.
Although this seems a bit inexplicable, there is nothing that can be done about it. Lin You's words are really reassuring.
This is what their experiences since entering the secret realm told them!
However, the tension is definitely there.
Their trust in Lin You was true, but they knew in their hearts that Lin You was not a god and could not always solve all the troubles smoothly.
At this time, the two of them were looking at the boulder intently.
Since Li Ziqiu could not be seen, they thought Lin You was still waiting for a certain opportunity and did not dare to act rashly.
Little did he know, Chestnut Ball had already flown to Liu Zhe, sensing the depth of those worm threads.
Although the perception here becomes relatively hazy, it does not mean that it is completely ineffective. You can still detect some things, not to mention the depth perception at such a close distance.
Naturally, Lin You would not let Li Ziqiu attack rashly. After all, Liu Zhe, who was tied up here, could still be a trap.
He has somewhat figured it out now. Maybe the Insect Queen doesn't bother to set any traps, and is indeed sleeping, but there are other monsters here that are not safe, and the level is not low.
This trap may have been laid by them for the insect queen, and the sharp sound waves before were also their actions.
The purpose is also very clear, which is to force them to leave the cave filled with insect eggs and stop the destruction inside.
Those insect eggs are of great value to them, or to the insect queen.
After intimidating them to no avail, they had no choice but to take the next step and drag them into their lair.
However, due to the intimidation of the Gunner Dragon, they did not dare to fight head-on easily.
If so, the possibility that the insect queen is sleeping is extremely high.
Of course, maybe it's not a deep sleep, but some form of practice.
These high-level monsters in the secret realm have ways to improve themselves and become stronger, which Lin You knew in advance.
Just like the Amazon Empress who lives alone in the Imperial Valley mentioned by Heiyuan, you can't simply define a "home girl" for others. She is practicing diligently day and night to become a madman, okay?
As for the Insect Queen, whether she is practicing or sleeping, it won't hinder her for the time being.
"Coolie~"
After sensing it for a while, Li Ziqiu came to the conclusion that there was nothing abnormal about those worm threads.
But at the same time, it was also discovered that this worm silk is relatively hard.
This level is nothing to a few super black star monsters, and they can be broken open without spending too much energy.
But no matter how fast it is, it's not an instant.
After all, a few monsters can’t really be at full strength, right?
Not only these worm threads would be destroyed, but Liu Zhe would also be destroyed.
He was completely undefended now.
Moreover, with the full firepower and loud movement, it is impossible for those guys lurking in the dark to remain unmoved.
It would be great if Liu Zhe could wake up at this moment and quickly complete the soul connection. In that case, he would be able to eliminate a lot of worries.
Let’s try first to see if we can wake him up!
But we can't completely place our hopes on this.
After sorting out the current information, Lin You gradually came up with some ideas.
Suddenly, magic power drives.
Under the light of the summons, the figure of a skilled black magician appeared on the scene.
When fighting those scarabs before, Lin You used this card as one of the sacrifices to summon the Gunner Dragon.
But after that, a long time passed quietly.
The skilled black magician, who has not triggered special effects and has zero battle losses, as a white star card, has now come out of his dormant period.
Chen Ming was puzzled when he saw Lin You summoning monsters, and even Hua Peiling was a little confused.
I don't even understand the significance of summoning a white star monster at this time.
Could it be that this monster has any special effects suitable for the current moment?
Or maybe it's just to test and see if summoning monsters at this moment will cause some changes?
Judging from the current situation, everything is business as usual.
This was not surprising to the two of them. There was real trouble, and it should have broken out as early as when they came in.
The problem now lies with Liu Zhe.
No one dares to touch him easily, as doing so may cause him to be destroyed forever.
Gu Jing
Chen Ming suddenly sent a message to Hua Peiling: "Hua Peiling, you said that you can use the wind element to quickly cut those worm threads, and then wrap the worms in them and blow them back. Is this method feasible? Both of your monsters are of the wind element.
With the combined efforts of the experts, it might be possible, but we have to be careful not to blow Liu Zhe to death. Alas, without a soul barrier, the restriction is still too great..."
Hua Peiling raised her eyes slightly. This method seemed to have a certain chance?
But it's hard to say. The hardness of the worm silk is still unknown. If you do it rashly, the risk is too high. If you don't get it right, Liu Zhe will be finished.
After thinking for a moment, he faintly transmitted the message: "Didn't Lin You already say that he has a countermeasure? According to what he said, if Liu Zhe is really killed, there is nothing he can do. The most reliable people have failed.
It means that this is what his destiny is, and we are powerless."
"Can't you tell, Hua Peiling, do you still believe in fate?"
Chen Ming opened his mouth slightly, a little surprised, but in exchange for Hua Peiling's cold gaze, he immediately stopped talking.
Okay, what you said makes sense. Even the most reliable people are helpless, so there is nothing we can do.
For a moment, I felt even more uneasy.
Don't die, you're a money addict, you're still young!
…
Rainforest.
A fierce battle is still going on.
The one with the most obvious aura is still Rinasi holding the holy sword.
The momentum she displayed at this moment was far greater than at the beginning, but at this time, she was not in a hurry to act.
In addition to the usual fierceness on Linas's face, there was also a bit more solemnity.
What she sees is a large number of bouncing Yoyo derivatives, which is causing her the most headache right now!
Just before, she concentrated her energy and unleashed a terrifying blow with her holy sword.
That blow was extremely powerful and instantly killed the enemy's ace monster...that is, Chen Yi's Yoyo King.
But after the Yoyo King was broken, a large number of Yoyo derivatives were born in the field.
Although there are many Yoyo derivatives, they look extremely weak.
In fact, it was the same, Linas easily eliminated the group of Yoyo derivatives by herself.
However, bad things happened from then on.
After the group of Yoyo derivatives were destroyed, a huge square energy bomb flew out.
Linas instinctively felt the horror at that time and tried to dodge, but there was no way to dodge.
The square energy bomb is like a tracking missile. As fast as Rinasi runs, it follows even faster.
Using attacks to intercept them still won't work, it will directly penetrate those attacks, like a ghost.
In the end, it exploded on her with precision.
That moment also seriously injured her.
Not only that, those Yoyo derivatives that she solved were all resurrected for some reason!
Linas was so stubborn that she didn't believe in evil at first, so she carried out another round of cleaning.
The result was that he was completely bruised by the bombardment, his blood flow continued, and his breath was extremely weak.
This scene also shocked Chen Yi and the others.
King Yoyo was instantly killed, and what followed was the maximum number of Yoyo derivatives.
After the destruction of these Yoyo derivatives, the amount of energy absorbed by the Derivative Explosion card was no stranger to Gu Du and Huang Xiao, let alone Chen Yi himself.
It is no exaggeration to say that this energy is enough to kill ordinary super black star monsters instantly.
The results of it?
As a super black-star Rinasi, she still survived after being bombarded with two rounds of Yoyo derivatives.
Although his life is already a candle in the wind, the strength of his life is far beyond the super black star that ordinary people understand.
In this state, Linas struggled for a moment and died.
But then, a rich bronze glow shines through.
This light was no stranger to Chen Yi and the others.
This kind of light had appeared before when I killed those Amazons in the swamp for the first time.
This kind of light is a gift from the land of Amazon!
But what is different from before is that the light that appears this time is obviously much stronger.
Under the full bloom of light, Linas' figure quickly reappeared.
It’s different from the previous situation!
When the Amazons died in battle before, the most powerful Amazon archers took longer to resurrect than others.
At this moment, the stronger Rinasi completed her recovery in a matter of seconds. Not only that, her aura became even more terrifying.
That is the current scene.
Linas, who wielded the holy sword, looked at the large number of Yoyo derivatives and didn't rush to take action.
Karoye started a fierce battle with Huang Xiao's Red Lotus Demon Fighter, using his hard fists to constantly collide with the sawtooth sword wielded by the Red Lotus Demon Fighter, causing sonic booms.
However, the Red Lotus Demon Warrior was not prepared to fight her alone. Not long after the battle, two reinforcements appeared beside him.
These two are from the warrior clan, and both have super black star levels.
Huang Xiao alone is driving three super black star monsters to fight!
Of course, the core of the battle is still the Red Lotus Demon Warrior, which is a duel-level existence after all.
The other two had some linkage effects with him, and with the assistance of the battle, the Red Lotus Demon Warrior became even more powerful.
With their joining, Karoye, who was originally suppressing the Red Lotus Demon Warrior, suddenly became the suppressed side, and was suppressed somewhat miserably.
Huang Xiao's strength is naturally not limited. No matter how strong Karoye is, he is still limited to the super black star level... Unless he can reach the ultimate in this field, the ace level, there is no way to fight against Huang Xiao.
As for the last one, the Amazon named Shupa who was chasing Gudu before, is now facing Gudu.
In a one-on-one situation, Gudu also broke out, and had the opportunity to retaliate for the arrow shot by the chase... Oh, no, it was revenge with multiple arrows!
The wooden giant also received layer upon layer of bonuses.
Not only the enhanced magic card power, but also some medium-sized wooden figures that convey power to it.
Including his origin card, Brick Man!
There is an extremely powerful effect linkage between this card and the Wooden Giant.
Whenever this card is released, the Wooden Giant's attack power will increase by 1000 points, and its awakening level will temporarily increase by 10%.
It is a powerful effect involving increased arousal!
Although this 10% is a fixed increase rather than a bonus based on 10% of one's own awakening level, it is still powerful enough.
After all, increasing a monster's attack power only improves its basic attack ability.
The increase in awakening level strengthens the various moves that the monster has learned.
For example, the Chimera, which has the wind element as its core, has a sword that attracts the wind. The increase in attack power alone will not have a great impact on the power of this move until it reaches a certain height.
But if it is replaced by arousal, the power will increase significantly.
In terms of value, for non-Duel level monsters, the former is better, but conversely, it is completely different.
What Duel-level monsters eat more is their own awakening level!
Able to maximize benefits!
The brutal panel value increases, which may be more suitable for red star level monsters.
After all, the super-destructive attack mode involves an increase in attack power, but there are gains of several times or even ten times!
In this case, the red star monster's panel value can easily soar to a terrifying level. At that time, there is really no need to awaken, and the panel value alone can probably crush all enemies to death!
At this moment, as a super black-star wooden giant, it cannot experience the pleasure of defeating thousands of armies. The increase in its awakening level makes it even more enjoyable.
After several rounds of promotion, the wooden giant showed amazing combat power.
Facing Shupa's tyrannical arrows, he directly responded with a large rotating log.
The arrow hit the big wood and resisted for a few seconds before being torn to pieces by the kinetic energy of the big wood's rotation.
The wooden giant was unforgiving, and condensed many sharp long pieces of wood. Those pieces of wood were like giant needles, and they were inserted into Shupa who was moving at high speed.
For a moment, Shupa only thought about running away. Long logs kept getting stuck in her path, splashing up pieces of soil.
A large amount of mud also stained Shupa's body, making her look even more embarrassed.
At this moment, in this three-on-three battle, Chen Yi and others have a clear upper hand!
Linas looked a little ugly, clenched her fists, her heart wavered for a moment, and suddenly shouted: "Karoye, Shupa, activate the Wang family's secret treasure!"
Hearing her shout, both Carole and Carole were slightly startled.
Unexpectedly, in a three-on-three situation, they would be forced into this situation. Do they need to consume the precious Wang family's secret treasure...
"clear!"
Although they were unwilling to do so, the two of them did not show any resistance to Linas' instructions.
I wanted to delay as much time as possible until other tribesmen arrived, and then easily defeat these people with their numerical advantage.
But he didn't want to be kicked in the nose by these people, thinking that he had a chance to win.
Now it seems that there is no need to think about saving anymore, it is time to give these human world duelists some color!
…
In a huge insect nest.
The chestnut ball floated gently towards Liu Zhe, and a pair of small short claws gently pressed against his face. Two circles of pure white light could be seen on the small short claws.
That is clearly spiritual power!
At this moment, it was naturally not Li Ziqiu but Lin You who was consuming spiritual energy.
He also suddenly thought that the chestnut ball in the elf body was now the source of his soul, so it might be feasible to use the little guy to transmit some spiritual power.
The spiritual power transmitted in this way may suffer a significant decline in quality, but as long as a sufficient amount is input, the lack of quality can be compensated to a certain extent.
The loss should not be small, but there is no merit in doing so.
At least in terms of concealment, it is far better than Lin You's explicit input.
The spiritual power output by the Chestnut Ball in the elf body is even more ethereal.
It's impossible to capture it with the naked eye, but it can be captured perceptually, and it's relatively easy.
Lin You, for example, can sense the release of spiritual power very clearly.
But this is not all because the chestnut ball is the source of his soul. Any senior psychic can easily sense the existence of that spiritual power.
But ordinary people, or those mysterious monsters, don't even think about it.
This is a secret realm, and the purity of the soul is naturally high.
The release of normal spiritual power may directly integrate with the environment, leaving no trace behind.
Just like this space, the ordinary air flow is as ordinary and unremarkable.
Therefore, it is basically impossible for non-psychics to detect this.
The chestnut ball transmitted spiritual power steadily, and there was silence all around. Everything was as usual.
Chen Ming, who had no idea what was happening, became increasingly anxious.
Didn't Lin You say he had countermeasures?
But why after summoning that white star monster, except for activating some magic cards, there has been no movement?
Just waiting like this, what are you waiting for?
Hua Peiling said nothing, just stared ahead silently.
It's not that I discovered anything, but I noticed that Lin You had been staring in that direction, so I followed him to look, but after looking for a long time, I still couldn't see anything.
