The days of hunting in the oasis jungle are very monotonous, especially when there are swarms of insects to help fight the main force.
Sisters Xue Hua and Rogge basically had nothing to do most of the time, and they only occasionally dealt with monsters that were deliberately released by the king insect in front to give them training.
I have to say, this is really useless and challenging...
However, with this leveling progress, the experience bars of Xue Hua and the two girls increased very quickly, especially the Rogge sisters. Their levels have now been raised to the same level as Xue Hua, both at level 15.
.
If it weren't for the restrictions of the complete contract, these two little girls would probably be at level 17 or 18 by now.
If this kind of level-up speed were known to other professionals or mercenaries of Lu Gaoyin, they would probably cry and hug Xue Hua's lap and beg him to be taken away.
However, the three people who were experiencing this "happy" life in the eyes of others could hardly stand it anymore.
Because this is so boring...
"Ugh...Master~ When can we go back? Or should we go hunting in other directions..."
Funya puffed out her cheeks slightly, sitting on the edge of the thunder beast's bone fragments, holding her bow and looking around in boredom.
"Fonia~! Don't be so petty!" Annie patted her sister's head gently, watched her stick out her tongue, shrink back in fear, and then sat down next to Xue Hua in a funny way.
"It's okay, Annie. I also know that this is really boring and a waste of life..." Xue Hua lay in a large font on the thick back bone armor of the thunder beast, looking at it with blank eyes.
Toward the sky.
Ever since they discovered the stone pillar made by cat people, nothing interesting had happened to them in this isolated jungle.
Because there is no normal way to enter and leave the outside world, there are only three people in the entire jungle, Xue Hua and the two girls. Although this makes the monster resources in the entire jungle quite abundant and they can almost be harvested at will, but
It also made the three of them feel extremely empty.
In fact, this is mainly because the current insect swarms are too strong for monster projections. There are often thousands of them. To other professionals, they are almost equivalent to the demon incarnation of the death beetle swarm. When facing the insect swarm,
But it couldn't even get close at all, and was burned to ashes all over the ground by the progressive artillery strike tactics composed of Hydralisks and saboteurs at medium and long ranges...
The Desire swarm cannot break through the defense line formed by the large swarm of alien dragons in the sky.
Even the scavenger vultures that occasionally reborn here basically don't survive more than three seconds.
There are also sandworms and giant scorpion-like monsters that have never appeared in the game.
Once these poor creatures lose the protection of the narrow terrain, they immediately become perfect targets for springtails and cockroaches to sharpen their claws.
Especially sandworms. These insect monsters with weak body armor are just a piece of meat on the plates of springtails in open terrain environments. Their rapid egg-laying tactics have no effect at all in this environment. Those actions
The slow sandworm larvae have no other value besides becoming a target for the hydralisks. The springtails can easily bypass the wall of worms composed of those larvae by relying on their speed.
After realizing the huge gap in combat power between the opponent and the insect swarm, the insect mother responsible for leading the front insect swarm began to use an extremely cruel tactic. It scattered all the mutant dragons and let them attack one by one.
Attack the monster communities scattered in other locations in the oasis, and then attract and gather them into a prepared clearing. Under the clearing, there are hundreds of lurkers...
It must be said that this tactic was very effective in speeding up Xue Hua's experience gain, but it also made their situation more boring.
Because now they don’t even have to move...
Xue Hua feels like a rice bug now, lying in the tent in the camp every day, eating and sleeping, and then watching his experience increase at a speed visible to the naked eye...
This kind of life makes him feel very confused... Where is the hard and simple wilderness adventure experience that he promised?
But they can't sneak out to have fun and cause trouble, because if he is too far away from the place where the swarm kills monsters... he won't get any experience~
There was no way, his level improvement was the top priority now, and for the sake of Abathur's nest upgrade plan, he could only endure it for the time being...
To be honest, if their current upgrade method was known to other professionals...
There are probably guys who will shed blood and tears and want to die with him...
The only thing worth mentioning in this boring life is the "trap and kill" trophies sent to me by cockroaches every night.
Four or five days have passed, and the swarm of insects has killed tens of thousands of monsters, if not a hundred thousand. The various bits and pieces they dropped have piled up into a hill next to the camp.
Xue Hua and the two girls had been as rigorous as possible in their selection, and even threw some professional-specific items with skills attached to them into the pile of debris, but even so, their inventory was still full.
No way, the return scroll in this world is not two-way like in the game. It allows you to pick up a package full of things, sell them back, and then come back to continue your adventure.
The return scroll in this world is one-way, that is, you can only go in and not come back.
Therefore, Xue Hua could only put the most valuable items into the inventory, and then let the king insects stuff the other less valuable items into their abdominal pouches and slowly transport them back.
Of course, doing this is a bit troublesome. After all, Xue Hua cannot directly take the king insects with non-swarm units in their abdominal pouches into the spiritual universe, so he can only let them fly back slowly...
.
The biggest pleasure for Xue Hua and the two girls every day now is to pick through the pile of things, classify them, and look for some interesting equipment or strange things.
Just like this leisurely but boring waiting, time passed day by day.
It wasn't until the sixth night that Xue Hua came out of the underground space of the Sandworm Queen, when he finished dinner and was thinking about whether to attack the two little girls at night.
The voice of Abathur he had been waiting for finally appeared in the main hive mind, and also brought him the good news he wanted to hear most.
——The doors to the two secret spaces were opened!
Xue Hua almost couldn't wait to let Abathur control the Sandworm Queen to open the entrance in his tent, and then directly entered the space where the Sandworm Queen was.
"Has it been opened? Where is it? How to get in?" Xue Hua hurriedly asked Abathur who was standing aside.
Beside it, the Sandworm Queen was lying there quietly, with six infected people surrounding it, and they took turns piercing the neuroparasitic tentacles into its body to continuously control it.
I have to say, if you are caught by the insect swarm and they think you are still valuable... it will be really hard to die...
"Master, the door to the confined space has been opened. You can now order the infected to control the 'Test Subject No. 2' and send you directly into one of the spaces.
Both spaces have been scanned by the Supervisory King Insect, and it has been confirmed that there are no safety risks."
"Very good! Let's get started!" Xue Hua's eyes narrowed and he gave orders directly to the infected person who controlled the Sandworm Queen in the mind of the main nest.
Then the next moment, he felt a blur in front of his eyes, and then the surrounding environment turned into a small closed space.
"Are you coming in now?" Xue Hua looked around and found that Abathur had arranged for several springtails to wait for him here.
This space is not large, almost half the size of an ordinary primary school classroom, and the height is only about three meters, making it very ordinary.
The walls of the space are made of the same black stone as the room where the Mother of Sandworms is located, and there are several white light balls emitting hazy light on the walls.
There are many display rack-like objects arranged in the room. Most of the display racks are empty. Only the display rack at the very back of the room seems to have something on it.
Xue Hua walked around the two large display racks in front of him, blocking his view, and saw what was on the last display rack at a glance.
