After exploring the cat-man's stone pillar ruins, sisters Xue Hua and Rogge entered a crazy leveling mode in the next few days.
With the help of the insect swarm, Xue Hua's leveling plan was completed smoothly, and his experience would increase by about 3% every day. This increase is already quite considerable for him, which means that if he continues at this speed
If he continues, he will be able to level up almost every month.
Given the depth of his experience pool, this is incredible.
While working hard to upgrade, Xue Hua did not relax his attention to the various plans being implemented by the insect swarm.
The swarm fleet has not sent back any messages yet because it has left the Sanctuary world too far.
Zagara's hive expansion is going as smoothly as ever.
Dehaka's gene collection work is still proceeding steadily. Only Lu Gao, who was handed over to the insect mother Krisha by Xue Hua and given tactical guidance by Isha, encountered some unexpected "small troubles" due to the sewer infiltration plan.
”.
According to Krisa, the plan went very smoothly at first. The swarm followed Xue Hua's plan and built a quite hidden secret temporary base on the east side of Lugaoin City near the coast, and then began to move towards Lugaoin from there.
Because of digging tunnels underneath.
The tunnel was dug quite deep, because Isa was afraid of disturbing the legendary professionals in the city, so it added another 50% to the depth originally planned by Krisa.
However, at such a deep underground level, Krisha's insect swarm dug up traces of human activities - and they were not ancient ruins, but new traces, and some of the artifacts even had traces of recent use.
This discovery made Isa feel quite strange, so it immediately suspended Krisha's plan and quickly reported the unexpected discovery to Xue Hua.
And Xue Hua felt even more baffled after hearing Isa's report and the images transmitted back from the main nest mind.
He had seen the structural diagram of Lugoin in Kane's hand and knew that the city's sewer system was extremely large, but based on the digging depth given by Isa, they should have already dug beneath the sewer system?
Why are traces of human activities still found there?
And it's not an ancient city ruins, but some dark lanes that are obviously still in use...
This is so fucking amazing.
In terms of human racial characteristics, living so deep underground will definitely be unbearable for a long time, and they are not a race like cavemen or dwarves who specialize in drilling underground...
This sudden discovery made Xue Hua feel strange, so he decided to investigate the matter a little.
So he ordered the insect mother Krisa to send a few cockroaches to sneak into the human alleyways from underground to see if they could meet the humans in the alleys and get information.
The insect mother Krisha quickly complied and sent a team consisting of twelve cockroaches and two infected people to sneak in through the tunnel dug by the insect swarm.
Cockroaches can burrow silently in the soil, and cockroaches that have been upgraded several times can move very fast underground.
They act as pathfinders in the front, using their shock wave sensing organs to sense abnormal activities above their heads.
The two infected followed the cockroach team, using their psychic tentacles to sense psychic disturbances in case their sneaking in triggered any psychic alarm equipment and alerted the target above.
At the same time, the infected also bear the responsibility of "capturing prisoners".
Once the cockroach team in front finds traces of humans, as long as they are not professionals, they will be responsible for arresting them directly with the reduced-power version of the "Mold Growth" skill. If the opponent is an evil contracter, it will be Fungus Growth + Cockroach Assault + Nerve
Parasitic three-hit combo.
Unprepared, even the Evil Contractors, who are generally over level 40, have to surrender obediently to such a surprise attack.
And if the target is a professional, then let it go for the time being, leaving a cockroach lurking nearby to see if it can overhear anything, and other units continue to move forward to find the next target.
Guided by a clear plan, the cockroaches soon found their first target - a guard-looking guy wearing a full set of gray leather armor and taking a nap against the wall.
However, when the infected approached from underground and used psychic tentacles to detect it, they found that it was a level 24 professional.
This guy's face has aged, and the equipment he's wearing doesn't look good. The only piece of equipment that shines with a faint blue brilliance is the dagger on his waist.
Well, he's a miserable guy with very low qualifications.
Such people are very common.
After all, there are geniuses in this world, but they are only a minority.
The upper limit of the level of more professionals is only 20 or 30 levels. In some small villages, being able to produce a professional is considered a high incense. It is a bit like Xue Hua's previous life decades ago, which village in the countryside
When a college student appears in the village, it is a big event that will alarm people all over the country.
Rogge Camp is the starting point for professionals to travel, but this does not mean that all professionals are born in Rogge Camp.
Just like the few scum Xue Hua met when he first came to this world, one of them, a druid, came from a small village hidden in the black forest in the western border.
Many of these small villages were destroyed during the hell invasion, but many were not affected due to their geographical location.
These villages are actually the main force in providing qualified personnel for inauguration ceremonies.
Since there are only a few places in the entire western border where sages (legendary professionals) who can perform inauguration ceremonies exist, there are several periods every year when those villages gather all the young people who have passed the preliminary screening and trek to these villages.
A free inauguration ceremony was held for these young people at a location where a wise man was sitting.
This kind of free inauguration ceremony is of course the lowest kind (even so it is expensive), and can only roughly stimulate human beings' perception of the professional sacred contract.
Young people who can feel the sacred bond of a professional during the inauguration ceremony will be promoted on the spot and become a disciple of one of the "Holy Seven Saints".
To put it bluntly, it means successfully finding a job in one of the seven major professions.
And young people who fail to feel the Holy Contract or only have a rough feeling of the Holy Contract but fail to "get the favor of the Saint" will never have another chance.
——Unless their family can collect materials worth at least three thousand gold coins, they can ask the sages to perform an inauguration ceremony on them.
Of course, this number is a number that no one in the small village can even imagine.
Of course, young people who become professionals are excited and excited, but they don't know that for them, the real cruelty has just begun.
Professionals who take office through this kind of inauguration ceremony without any increase usually have a very low level limit. Only true "supernovas" can ignore this interference and discover their own power.
But the vast majority of such professionals, after the initial excitement of more than ten levels, will soon find that their upgrading speed begins to slow down, until it completely stagnates at a certain level, and the body cannot accept and transform hell energy into
own strong motivation.
And at this time, their pain begins.
Although he sympathized with what these guys were going through, Xue Hua didn't want to meddle in their own business.
Some things cannot be solved by indignation, and some things are not as simple as they seem.
Therefore, Xue Hua just instructed the cockroaches and infected people to continue to act according to the plan, leaving one cockroach to monitor, while other units continued to advance deeper.
The Cockroach Squad took the order and continued their action, diving deeper into the passage paved with large stone slabs.
Then, they quickly found their next target.
Those are two guys on patrol.
The equipment on their bodies also looked very shabby. One of them looked like a Paladin, with a resistance aura under his feet. He actually had a white wooden stick in his hand...
If it weren't for the faint white light emitting from the wooden stick, which showed that it was really a piece of equipment, Xue Hua almost thought that this guy was using someone's rolling pin as a weapon...
Not so poor?
You can't afford a scepter, you can't afford a saber, can't you even afford a mace?
That one at least looks more like a weapon and can be used to bluff people, man!
What you are holding in your hand...are you going back to making hand-made noodles?
