After seeing his completely mutated summoning skill tree, Xue Hua was very excited for a while, and he wanted to try it out right away.
However, it is a pity that his mutation skills can only be used after the Zerg unit has died in battle. Now there is no good way to test it. You can't just summon two springtails and let them attack each other, right?
Just to test his skills, Xue Hua still couldn't do such a thing.
"Hey... forget it, Abathur, can my other two skills still mutate?"
He looked around in a circle, but in the end he really couldn't find any good way to test his skills, so he had to sit down again in disinterest, and asked Abathur expectantly in the main nest mind.
The summoning skill mutation is his best choice now, but this does not mean that he does not want the mutation of the other two skills.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the ability of the curse system, he was very excited. Imagine that the insect mothers waved their hands, and a large area of increased damage appeared above the enemy's head...
Or the infected insects will age and then mold will grow, and then a group of alienated bodies will hatch out and sweep them away...
That scene must be quite wonderful!
However, Abathur's answer made him wilt.
"You need to increase your psychic power level to obtain more high-level samples within this psychic power system for me to analyze. The next psychic power system mutation will occur when the dominant psychic power level is raised to about 3.8."
"3.8! Isn't that about level 40!??? Forget it, I'd better go back to sleep..."
When Xue Hua heard this answer, he immediately rolled his eyes fiercely. Even though he now has the Domination of Will skill to give him a steady stream of feedback experience, it will still take quite a long time to reach this level.
This means that in a short period of time, he will not be able to see the second series of skills mutate.
Xue Hua turned around and walked back to the convoy, climbed into the caravan, and quietly got back into his bed.
Before he closed his eyes, Abathur reported one last bit to him.
It said that its research direction after this would shift to the box of runes sent by Xue Hua and the behemoth genes it had just obtained, and that the cracking of the protoss beacon could still only be scheduled in its spare time.
Xue Hua agreed vaguely twice, covered his head with a cotton blanket, and fell asleep in the cold wind howling outside the car.
...
The next morning, the caravan set off again. After almost encountering disaster, Warev and all the path explorers became obviously more alert.
Xue Hua also spilled the king insect in his hand and began to help monitor the movements around the caravan.
Under such vigilance, the caravan's journey became smooth and safe.
Although there are occasionally small groups of monsters that come to harass them, the number does not exceed a hundred. Xue Hua has no intention of taking action against such a small group of monsters. Even the professionals in the caravan are afraid that there are not enough points.
And too lazy to deal with them.
In this case, the ones who take action are usually the guards in the caravan. These guards are actually a type of desert mercenaries in the second act of the game, but almost none of them have aura skills, and all of them are paladins.
fighting skills.
Only the big man in the lead had the aura of power under his feet.
Out of curiosity, Xue Hua once asked Isha to analyze this guy's psychic level, and the final result was 2.3, which is around level 25 to 26.
Among mercenaries, this level is considered acceptable.
In this calm and peaceful atmosphere, the caravan successfully passed through the border desert outside the Dongfang Pass in the early morning of the eighth day after departure, and began to enter the range of the mysterious sand dunes.
"This is it. If you go further, you will enter the edge of the mysterious sand dunes..."
Warev took out the wine bag and took a sip. With a solemn look on his face, he pointed at a small stone tower made of gravel and about two meters high beside the advancing caravan not far away.
This is a sign placed here by the caravans that passed by before to serve as a road sign. It indicates that as long as your direction is correct, you will soon enter the most dangerous part of the entire trade route.
Xue Hua and Kane walked up to him and looked in the direction of his finger. Behind the stone tower, they saw that the desert terrain had changed a lot.
The endless stretches of sand dunes before have now been replaced by red terraces of varying heights. The edges of these terraces are steep and at a perpendicular angle to the ground. The surface is composed of a kind of red sandstone. The deeper you go into the mysterious sand dunes.
The higher the number of these terraces, the larger the area and the higher the height.
They gathered together and blocked the entire interior of the dune. A thin layer of red dust mist slowly floated in the gaps between the terraces, making the whole environment look very mysterious and strange.
There are still patches of sand at the foot of the platform, but the color of these sands is red and looks like a pool of solidified blood, adding an ominous and cold feeling to the entire area.
"This is not a kind place. We'd better hurry up and get out of this hellish place."
Warev frowned and sighed, but then said: "But it's getting very late today. We'd better find a place to spend the night... There is a caravan gathering point not far ahead. I hope we are lucky enough.
Good, I can meet other people~"
"Your caravan, you have the final say." Xue Hua shrugged. Ever since he showed the Zerg's powerful force when dealing with the fish-like desert behemoth, Warev would come to ask him every time he made a major decision.
his opinion.
It feels good once or twice, but it becomes annoying more often.
In the end, when he came to find him again, Xue Hua simply left him to Kane, while he took the two little girls to visit other professionals.
But this time, since the caravan was about to enter the most dangerous area of the entire trade route, Xue Hua still listened patiently to his opinions.
"Okay then, let's rest there tonight." Warev nodded and called a manager to convey his order.
"By the way, I always forgot to ask you, since this mysterious sand dune is so dangerous, why do you still have to walk from its edge? Wouldn't it be safer to stay away?"
Xue Hua asked casually while following him forward.
"Hey... do you think we don't want to? But compared to the mysterious sand dunes, the desert next to it is the real Jedi.
It is called the "Iron Needle Desert". The sand in this desert is made of very sharp needle-shaped iron sand. No one knows why these gravels grow like this, but no one is willing to walk in such a desert, even if carrying a pack.
If a beast walks in, its hooves will definitely be pierced by those iron needle-like sand!"
Warev explained to Xue Hua while pointing in the opposite direction to the mysterious sand dunes.
Xue Hua looked in that direction and saw that under the dusk sunset, the sand dunes in that direction actually showed a strange dark color, and there were sharp cold lights flashing out from time to time.
"There are so many wonders in this world..." Xue Hua shook his head helplessly, sighed, and let the matter go.
The caravan traveled quite fast, and finally arrived at the assembly point Warev mentioned before nightfall. It was actually an open space under a relatively low platform on the edge of the mysterious sand dune. Because of the platform on its back,
The cliff is slightly concave inward, and there is a columnar platform on the opposite side as a shield, so it is favored by caravans who come and go as a resting place to reach the mysterious sand dunes at night.
When Warrif's caravan arrived, there were already other people here.
Another medium-sized caravan and a small caravan have already set up a bonfire in the valley.
When they saw Warav's large caravan, the two caravan leaders seemed very happy. They came out to greet Warav personally and even gave them the innermost seat.
But businessmen can't afford to be early because they have no profit, and they have nothing to ask for. How can they appear so diligent?
Sure enough, after Warev settled the caravan, the owners of two other caravans jointly came to visit and made their requests.
