Xue Hua walked toward the battlefield, waving his staff as he walked.
As the mana in his body continued to drain, the dozen hydralisks killed by the ghost water-fat warriors quickly stood up from the ground again.
The mutated summoning skills make the insect swarms more aggressive in battle, and the insect mothers' tactical command becomes more and more bold.
This is a good thing. Xue Huazheng hopes that the insect swarm will not be blunted by the previous covert development strategy. Now he is very pleased to see this scene.
He took the two girls to find a more open place and began to set up a temporary camp, and prepared to start the search plan immediately.
The main executors of this plan are the king insects high in the sky. They will conduct a carpet search along the oasis boundary and deep into the depths.
Once traces of the maggot nest are discovered, Xue Hua will directly use the tunnel worm network that has spread here to quickly throw the insect swarm into the nest.
Before that, he would lead the ground troops to hunt in the oasis while looking for small stations in distant oasis.
By the way, he will also release worker bees to start prospecting operations.
It would be great if a mineral vein suitable for setting up a real-life base could be found deep in this dense and hidden oasis jungle.
The night quickly became darker, and the biting coolness replaced the scorching heat of the desert during the day, continuing to ravage the life in this area.
Although we were in an oasis jungle, the coldness like a winter night did not diminish at all. Instead, it became a damp and cold state due to the abundant water vapor around us.
This feeling is very bad, all the clothes on the body are damp, like sheets that have not been completely dried, wrapped around the body, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.
Xue Hua held a torch in one hand and a staff in the other, leading two mercenaries through the jungle. There were also two insect mothers and ground troops of the insect swarm beside him to guard them and clear obstacles.
The temporary camp was not far behind them, and he sent some springtails and cockroaches to guard it.
The camp contains most of the supplies and tents they carry with them. If these items are carried with them, they will really take up a lot of space in the inventory.
And if they were all piled up on the King Insect, it would be too troublesome when it came time to use them, so I simply left them all in the camp.
It has to be said that the environment in this oasis is really not very friendly. Not only is the space small, dark and cramped, but the number of monsters is also very large.
In addition, the ground is covered with tangled root systems of various plants, making it quite strenuous to walk.
Xue Hua felt that he was not exploring an oasis in the desert at all, but in the rainforest area of the Kurast harbor area.
He could never figure out how this huge oasis area was formed in a desert area with a lack of rainfall and excess sunshine.
Is there a huge underground river down here?
He curled his lips, shook his head, and used his staff to push aside a branch in front of him.
The two little girls seem to be quite adapted to the environment here. They shuttle quickly among the trees, and from time to time they will jump on the branches to observe the movements around them.
Although there were swarms of insects surrounding them and their situation was very safe, the two girls had no intention of relaxing their vigilance.
These are the qualities that an excellent Rogge mercenary should display.
Just when Xue Hua was feeling relieved and a little envious watching the two girls leaping on the branches, Isha's report came from the mind of the main nest.
"Master, our insect mother discovered something unusual in the forest clearing about 600 meters away from you. I think you should go and see for yourself."
"Um? What is it?" Xue Hua was stunned. If it makes Isha feel unusual, then it must be really unusual.
So, he quickly greeted the two girls and quickly ran to the place marked by Isa.
A few minutes later, after pushing aside the last vine blocking the road, Xue Hua finally arrived at the clearing in the forest that the adjutant mentioned. There, there was already an insect mother with hundreds of insect swarms waiting for him.
Xue Hua nodded towards the approaching insect mother, then turned his eyes and looked at the "unusual thing" surrounded by springtails.
As a result, the moment he saw the thing, he knew what it was almost immediately.
Isn’t this a holy altar?
It turned out that what appeared in front of him was a square stone platform about half a person tall and two people wide, covered with various wall-climbing plants and moss.
The shape of this stone platform is quite simple and elegant. There are not many decorations on it, but it reveals a very strong sense of vicissitudes of life.
Getting a little closer, Xue Hua also saw that the altar was engraved with all kinds of strange runes. These runes were all glowing slightly and sending strands of light blue energy upwards.
The reason why Xue Hua could recognize this thing at a glance as one of those altars with various buff effects in the game was because above the stone platform, there was an open black scroll floating, and on the scroll, there were
Wearing a cross-like ornament.
The entire scroll presents an ethereal and illusory state, but it is constantly emitting sacred golden light.
Xue Hua is very familiar with this thing. Isn't this the experience altar (temple) in the game?
In the game, the character you control will encounter many such altars during wild adventures. They have different effects, but generally speaking, it is a good thing to encounter them.
Just like the experience altar in front of Xue Hua, the effect in the game is that your character can gain an additional 50% experience by killing monsters within a period of time after touching the altar.
It has the same effect as eating half a "double experience scroll".
For newcomers who are in the FM state, the effect of this temple is quite good.
In the game in his previous life, Xue Hua had touched eight hundred altars, if not one thousand.
But in the real world, this was the first time he saw this thing during an expedition...
He had seen the "holy wells" in the game at Rogge Camp. That thing was just as powerful in the real world, and the life of the entire Rogge Camp relied on several "holy wells" in Rogge Camp.
With.
When Xue Hua had nothing to do, he asked Kane about some things about the "Holy Well" and the "Altar".
As a result, Deckard Cain, who was always known for his extensive knowledge, could not tell Xue Hua who created these things.
He only knew that these two buildings called "sanctuaries" were not created by heaven, and they would automatically isolate the power of hell. Even the power of the three demons could not shake the protection of these sanctuaries.
These sanctuaries are widely distributed in every corner of the entire sanctuary world. Whether it is arid desert areas or humid rainforests, if you are lucky, you can see their existence.
But their number is quite small in the real world, and there are slightly more holy wells. At least now there are holy wells in all large human towns.
But the altar is something you can meet but cannot seek.
The appearance of altars can be said to be quite random. They will not exist fixedly in one place, but will run around all over the continent.
The power on the altar is consumable, and basically all altars can only be used once.
After being used by others, the altar will disappear on its own, and after a period of time, it will appear again in other corners.
In the real world of shelter, the power of the altar is not limited to the ones in the game.
Their types are quite diverse. Not only do they have altars that provide BUFFs to others, but some altars will even directly give you a random piece of equipment.
This equipment is basically gold level or above, and there may even be dark gold level or green level items.
Some altars will teleport you to an inexplicable place, which is usually a cave full of gold coins or a grassland covered with gems.
Within a period of time, you can take as much as you want, but when the time is up, you will be teleported out, and only the items you have on your body and in your inventory are allowed to be taken away.
Of course, the chances of the above two kinds of altars appearing are quite small. Those who can encounter these two kinds of altars are definitely good people who have saved the world in their previous lives...
