Just when Xue Hua thought of this possibility, the attacks of the alien dragons had exceeded the upper limit of the shadow master's endurance. The guy trembled in mid-air, and then turned into a dissipating shadow.
He is indeed the Shadow Master!
To outsiders, this thing looks exactly like the assassin himself!
What about Jericho?
Xue Hua immediately ordered the Supervisory King Insect to look through the rock crevice where Jericho was hiding, but found that it was empty. Apparently, this guy had left long ago.
However, his figure was not found on the mountain wall. Where did this guy go?
Xue Hua scratched his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly remembered the information contained in the crystal dagger.
This guy can become invisible!
He can become invisible in any shadow!
But to be honest, Xue Hua has studied all the abilities revealed by Jericho with great caution, including his tracking ability, ability to see through ambush, ability to shoot shadow flying knives, etc.
But he didn't take his invisibility ability to heart.
Because the Supervisory King Insect can resist invisibility!
However, Xue Hua apparently ignored one issue, which was the current ability level of the Supervisory King Insect.
Jericho's level is so high that it has completely suppressed the ability level of the Supervisory King Insect.
Even in the game, Zeratul's psionic level is not high enough to completely suppress the detection ability of the Supervisory King Insect. Of course, this does not mean that Jericho is more powerful than Zeratul.
The main problem is that the Overlords are still far from the level of capabilities they had when Kerrigan ruled the swarm.
Therefore, Xue Hua miscalculated. The Monitoring King Insect could not see through Jericho's invisibility at all. It could only occasionally catch a fleeting shadow on the rock wall.
However, the surveillance of the Supervisory King Insect still brought considerable trouble to Jericho.
Because although he can indeed make himself and even the equipment on his body invisible, the rope with the grappling hook cannot be made invisible.
So every time he threw the rope and tried to pull himself to a higher position, the alien dragons always arrived in time and bombarded the end of the rope.
After several lessons, Jericho no longer dared to throw the rope, and could only use the climbing claws in his hands to slowly climb up.
This once again delayed his climb, but it also strengthened his belief.
The repeated attacks of the alien dragons made him realize that Xue Hua might not have climbed over the mountain yet.
Because if Xue Hua had already climbed over this mountain, then he only needed to concentrate on his journey and teleport back from the small station in the dark forest, and he would die without a burial place. There was no need to carry out these unnecessary harassment actions.
Xue Hua also didn't expect that his behavior of collecting interest would strengthen Jericho's confidence in climbing up.
But even if he knew, he probably wouldn't feel anything.
Because he is very excited now.
No, I should say I am very excited!
Because just now, the worker bee that was reinforcing the tunnel dug by the cockroach suddenly behaved abnormally. It swung its chelicerae at the wall of the tunnel crazily and seemed very restless.
When Xue Hua walked over to see the situation, Isa told him that the worker bees had discovered a medium-sized mineral vein, and there should be more than just this mineral vein in this mountain range!
"What kind of mine is it? Can you figure it out?" Xue Hua asked Isha excitedly.
"Seventy percent of it is amethyst veins, and the remaining 30% cannot be detected. It is an unknown vein, but it has nether energy disturbance, and it is very strong. It is estimated that it may be a new resource type."
"Great! What should we do now? Start mining directly?" Xue Hua has already started jumping around excitedly. Resources! Resources! This has almost become his inner demon. He thinks about resources all the time every day.
Even on the way to escape, he was thinking, if I have enough resources, let alone the level 63 assassin, even if the level 93 assassin comes, I will kill you too, Hundan!
"Master, since the resources proven here are buried deep and the veins are large, Isa recommends that you put down a real-life base here specifically for collecting resources."
"Put a real base? Here?" Xue Hua turned around and looked around. This place is just a newly dug tunnel, and there is only a mountain wall outside. Where is there a place to deploy a base?
And he will leave after all, and will leave here for Lu Gaoyin. Wouldn't it be a waste to put the base here?
Isa already understood his thoughts very well, so she explained directly: "Master, placing a real-life base here is completely a feasible option. This mountain is very tall and covers a vast area. There are definitely many hidden resources in it. You
By setting down the real-life base here to collect resources, you can continuously obtain resource supplements, which is very beneficial to the development of the insect swarm!"
"As for how to expand the base, this is not a problem for the insect swarm at all. The worker bees are fully capable of building underground nests. Even if the mountain needs to be dug out, it is only a matter of time for the insect swarm."
"And the Lord of Waste does not need to worry. You can build a secret base in the heart of this mountain, and then when you leave, you can order the base to sleep. And according to the map of the world in your memory, this
The mountain range where the mountain is located is obviously very large. The insect swarm is fully capable of expanding the scale of the base inside the mountain range and finding more mineral resources. You only need to place a few insect mothers here and give them orders to obtain a steady stream of resources.
With the advancement and a secret backup base, the insect swarm can even hollow out the underground of the entire mountain range and turn this huge mountain range into a breeding ground for the insect swarm that dominates you. With the scale of this mountain range, you may even be able to
Get all the resources to breed a new Leviathan or Behemoth!"
"Moreover, when you have sufficient resource reserves, you can revive the hive mother Zagara from dormancy. Zagara controls the breeding method of the Nydus Worms, the most powerful troop delivery unit in the swarm.
, you can completely let Zagara stay in this base and breed a large number of insect swarms, and then when you need them, you can use the Nydus Worms to send your insect swarm troops directly to the battlefield!"
"Very good! I've been convinced by you! Let's do it!" Xue Hua was overwhelmed by what Isa said. Indeed, there is no better location for the actual base than this mountain range. It completely matches Xue Hua's words.
Xue Hua has always adopted the operational policy of "secret development, high-profile appearance, deterring hell, and deterring heaven", so after Isa solved the base deployment problem, Xue Hua immediately decided to put down the first real base here!
However, before placing the base...
There is one more "small" problem that needs to be solved...
Xue Hua walked out of the tunnel and glanced at the mountain wall below with a depressed expression.
There was still no one there.
Although Xue Hua is indeed very grateful to Jericho now, and even has a thought that "if he stops now, it's not a bad idea to let him go."
Because it was this guy who drove him to find this treasure land for the development of the Zerg.
But this guy just didn't want to stop. The Supervisory King Insect just observed a black shadow jumping over the rugged rocks between the mountain walls.
This guy is still climbing up!
"Nima! Did I kick your balls or cut off your little brother? Do you want to target me like this? What wish did your master make to you? Do you want to abdicate after killing my three demon gods?
Will you rule hell?"
Xue Hua's face turned ferocious.
He is very unhappy now, very unhappy. It feels like a beggar who is about to starve to death suddenly sees a luxurious meal appearing in front of him. Just when he is about to feast, someone comes over to grab the plate from you and refuses to let him go.
you eat......
I have the intention to kill him!!!
Xue Huayou wanted to ignore him, but this was a safety hazard after all. If he climbed up, saw the Zerg base, and then ran away...
Then Xue Hua estimates that his secret base plan will be completely bankrupt...
"Master, in fact, you don't need to be so troubled at all..." Isa said again.
"Oh? Why? Is this guy a security risk after all?" Xue Hua asked doubtfully.
"You can let the cockroaches start digging downwards from now on, and use worker bees to assist them. When the digging reaches a certain depth, you can order the hydralisks to blow up the tunnel with explosive needles. Even if the assassin carries digging tools, he cannot dig alone.
Go through a tunnel, and you only need to dig another tunnel in the belly of the mountain, or simply hide in the belly of the mountain for three days. The interference effect on the ghost energy scroll you carry will be ineffective, and the message conveyed to you will also be lost.
It has been said that in five days, an ally with a very high level of psionic energy will come to support you. Therefore, for you, there is no need to confront the assassin head-on. You only need to prevent him from finding you, and you will get
The final victory."
"You're right! I'm the one who got into trouble! Haha! Just do it, brother, I'll puke you to death! Just crawl slowly!"
After hearing what Isa said, Xue Hua clapped his hands fiercely, yes!
Why the hell should I fight with him?
His ability to climb such a high mountain is indeed very impressive, but why the hell are you just digging a tunnel by yourself to show me?
