After receiving the report that the King Insect was attacked, Xue Hua quickly looked up, only to see a pitch-black "cloud" shrouding the King Insect in it.
The huge king insect kept waving its tentacles in an attempt to drive away the "clouds", but the effect was not significant.
Xue Hua saw from the unit status bar in the main hive mind that the defense system of the king insect was slowly breaking down, and its health status was also declining rapidly.
Among all the life indicators of the King Insect, the one that is declining the fastest is not the vitality, but the physical strength.
Seeing this scene, Xue Hua almost understood what those black pockmark-like things surrounding the King Insect were.
This is a kind of monster that also appears in the game. Like many other monsters, it also has many variants, but the one that will appear in the distant oasis should generally be one kind.
If Xue Hua remembers correctly, its name should be "The Desire".
Desires are not a certain kind of monster with independent characteristics. To be precise, they are actually a collection of various flying insects that have become crazy after being contaminated by the energy of hell. For unknown reasons, these collections will form in groups. The swarms gather together, and then when they appear and disappear, they form a black pockmarked cloud.
Most of the insects that Xue Hua observed through the king insect's vision before, shuttled between the leaf forests, were these so-called "desires" clusters.
These crazy little bugs are very large in number and often appear in groups. They attack passing travelers and professionals on expeditions, and the effect is very good. Therefore, they were taken into the Hell as a group by the Hell Demon King. middle.
In other words, these guys who are attacking the King Insect now are still just monster projections.
The reason why Xue Hua immediately determined that the attacker's true identity was this kind of monster is because in addition to their size in the game that makes patients with trypophobia very uncomfortable, their attacks also have a significant feature - Consume the victim's physical strength.
These flying insects contain a synthetic toxin in their bodies that will poison any target they sting.
After the target is poisoned, it will lose a lot of physical strength in a short period of time, become weak and fatigued very quickly, and eventually completely lose the ability to escape and resist, becoming a delicious meal for these bugs.
Desires are the second most hated monster among all professionals who have entered distant oasis areas. Their huge numbers and hard-to-hit size are especially annoying to melee professionals.
However, if there are legal professions in the team, it will be easier to deal with them.
Although these bugs have been alienated by the energy of hell and can resist many kinds of energy attacks, they are still bugs after all. They are bugs, so they are naturally afraid of fire.
Most of the time, when encountering a swarm of eager people, it only takes a few fireballs and bombs to solve most of the problems.
If there is really no mage in the team, it doesn't matter.
The Amazon's explosive arrows or lightning balls, the assassin's flame resurrection and flaming fist, the skeleton mage summoned by the necromancer, and the druid's polar storm and volcanic explosion are all good ways to deal with those who desire, and the paladin's holy fire aura is more powerful. It has a miraculous effect on these swarm monsters whose individual strength is quite low. Just stand there with this aura on, and the eager ones will be burned to death piece by piece.
Even barbarians who are really not good at dealing with these small monsters can still use explosive potions to deal with them.
Even if you really don't even bring explosive potion, you can at least use the howling skill to scare them away, and then use the jumping skill to escape from the battlefield.
So this kind of monster is just very annoying. It's not necessarily dangerous to say how dangerous it is.
Unless you are extremely lucky and run into hundreds of thousands of aspirants...
Then there is nothing more to say, just be a good person in the next life~
Naturally, Xue Hua's luck would not reach this point. At this time, there were only about a few thousand eager people besieging the King Insect.
After obtaining this statistical data from the observations of other king insects, he immediately ordered the Hydralisks to turn their guns and directly use explosive spines to blast the "cloud" surrounding the king insects.
Accompanied by bursts of violent "chichi" sounds, countless fireballs quickly lit up in the night sky around the king insect. The high temperature when the explosive needles exploded ignited the bodies of a large number of desirers, and the dots of fire quickly burned in the desire.
spread among the clusters of researchers.
Seeing that the Hydralisks' attacks were effective, Xue Hua asked the Hydralisks to deal with those who were eager.
As for the counterattack on the frontal battlefield, he sent out the poisonous banelings that had just completed their evolution and mutation to quickly open the vine defense network of the strange trees.
As the light from the dimensional gate lit up, more than two hundred new poisonous baneling bugs wearing black cuticle shells appeared at the rear of the battlefield. As soon as they appeared, they immediately began to accelerate towards the defense net of the strange trees.
The advancing insect swarm in front immediately made way for them under Xue Hua's order, allowing them to rush directly into the front of the battle line without any hindrance.
And as if they were aware of the huge threat posed by the poisonous banelings to them, the strange trees could no longer sit still. They postponed their attacks on other Zerg units and instead focused all their attention on the poisonous banelings.
Vines with poisonous stings and bunches of branches covered with banana fruit-like bloody mouths are pressing towards the poisonous banelings. Before the mutation, the poisonous banelings, with their fragile defenses, would have been unable to say anything in the face of such an overwhelming attack.
You will lose part of it.
However, today's poisonous banelings are no longer what they used to be. The smooth and hard renewable keratinous deck covering their bodies perfectly defends against all attacks by the banana demon trees. Moreover, at their current moving speed,
Many slow attacks cannot hit them at all.
The poisonous banelings jumped like this to avoid most of the attacks, and quickly crossed the ground in the oasis that was covered with exposed plant roots and mounds, and directly crashed into the central area of the banana magic tree group.
Immediately afterwards, a violent explosion sounded, and dazzling green light and flying bone shrapnel instantly filled the entire area.
A large number of banana demon trees had their main trunks eroded by the acid, and the remaining ones that escaped the acid baptism eventually fell under the bone shrapnel flying everywhere.
The vine defense network of the Banana Demon Tree organization suddenly became sparse, and Xue Hua quickly took advantage of this opportunity to let the insect swarm launch a general attack.
After receiving the attack order, the two insect mother commanders immediately neighed and directly released feeding fluid to cover all the insect swarm units. With the addition of Zagara's secondary commander skill "Frenzy Healing", the insect army immediately launched a violent attack.
neighing sound.
The exterminators and the cockroaches rushed to the front. The exterminators directly activated their charge skills and ran over the vines and debris. Many banana trees that were lucky enough to survive because they were in the edge area were hit by the exterminators.
The horn was hit head-on, making a tragic "squeaking" sound, and was knocked to the side.
After the exterminator group rushed past, the cockroaches immediately activated their jumping ability, jumped directly over the obstruction of the vines in mid-air, and directly hit the crowns of the living demon trees when they landed.
Under the double suppression of gravity acceleration and the weight of the cockroaches themselves, these magic trees were completely unable to withstand the cockroaches' jumping attack tactics, and the entire front line of defense was immediately broken.
Next, the springtails began to clean up the battlefield, destroying those demonic trees that seemed to be still alive.
Soon, this large group of magic trees, numbering around 4,000, was cleared away.
And with the help of this experience, Xue Hua also naturally rose to level 14, and used the few skills he obtained on "Domination Will" as usual.
However, just when he was about to celebrate his upgrade, something went wrong again in the small battlefield he arranged in the rear to help the king insect under attack escape.
This feeling of problems happening one after another just after arriving at the destination made Xue Hua feel quite helpless.
He has already felt the "warm" reception from this oasis area...
