Chapter 19 Jade Statue (I missed a chapter yesterday~)
During Fred's talk, Marion and the other professionals soon realized that this little guy who looked young turned out to be a rainforest expert!
According to him, part of his rainforest knowledge comes from his late father, a herb collector, and part of it comes from Eco's careful teachings.
It is precisely because he is so proficient in the rainforest that Omus sent him to support the large forces of the Parliament Guard Corps.
The herb gatherer's knowledge allowed Fred to learn to identify paths and avoid monsters in the rainforest, while the alchemist's skills allowed him to create powder pills that repel mosquitoes.
Fred's proficiency in the rainforest made many professionals quickly build up their confidence in him. Ocaso immediately made the decision and asked Fred to immediately take them to the survivors' hiding place in Jikul.
It was at this time that Xue Hua began his solo journey.
When he really left the team and headed deep into the rainforest alone, Ocaso and Marion, two legendary professionals who had never seen his true methods, finally couldn't help but express their worries.
"Hey! Boy! If it doesn't work, don't try too hard! Be careful not to lose your life here!"
"Yes, Xue, it's easy to get lost here, and you've heard Frey say that there are demon scouts everywhere! So it's better to come with us! When we get to Ji Kuer, we are discussing what to do
Divide your forces and take action!”
Hearing the shouts from behind, a faint smile appeared on Xue Hua's lips.
"Don't worry about me. If I dare to move forward alone, I will naturally find my own way. You should take care of yourselves! Maybe I will arrive at Jikul before you! At that time, we will also exchange information on the investigation on the road.
!Don’t forget this!”
"Bah! This kid!" Ocaso curled up the corner of his mouth and groaned when he heard Xue Hua's words, but the expression on his face softened.
In any case, Xue Hua's daring to go deep into the dangerous rainforest alone can be called "kind", and barbarians have always admired "kind" guys the most, especially people like Ocaso who was born in Kazakhstan.
The orthodox barbarians of Logarth.
"Forget it, let him go. As he said, if he dares to step into the depths of the rainforest alone, he must have someone to rely on... Moreover, Farah Sage and others don't seem to be worried about him at all.
, I guess there must be something really special about it!"
Marion also shook his head, and nodded slightly to Frey, who looked a little worried, indicating that he was ready to lead the team.
"Don't worry, Frey, that guy is very capable, and he is also a man who cherishes his life. He will not take such a risk without certain certainty."
Seeing that Fred was still a little worried about Xue Hua's solo action, Sothea gently reached out and touched his head, and said to him with a relieved smile on her face.
"Well...I understand! Then let's go! Follow me, this way!"
After hearing Sothea's words, Fred nodded with a complicated expression on his face. He quickly waved his hand slightly behind him and disappeared into the lush trees of the rain forest with the thousands of parliamentary guards.
On the other hand, Xue Hua quickly contacted the secret hatchery of the insect swarm closest to here after leaving the main force - it was a huge underground cave extending downward from several roots of a big tree.
There is only one hatchery and dozens of worker bees in this secret base. When Xue Hua found this place, the worker bees were busy digging out small bugs and several roots from the moist soil and stuffing them into their mouths.
.
Since evolving the new ability of "energy storage", worker bees have now completely turned into locusts passing through the border. They eat whatever they see, regardless of meat or vegetable, salty or sweet, whatever is tofu... cough cough
No, anything can be stuffed into the mouth, let alone tree root bugs. Even dirt, they have to eat it first, and only regurgitate it out after absorbing all the energy in it.
Because of this, the resource accumulation speed in Leviathan's resource pool is more than twice as fast as before, and the development speed of Zagara's main nest group has also been accelerated. Correspondingly, the resources are supplied by the newly born Zerg units every day.
Xue Hua's experience has become more and more abundant.
The underground of this rainforest is now dotted with such simple hatchery nests. Each nest is managed by an insect mother. These insect mothers are responsible for providing support and dispatch for the shadow insects that have sneaked into the demon army.
The mimic hatchlings disguised as monster projections provide energy assistance.
They will also become the nodes for the insect swarm to station troops. Every time Xue Hua goes to a secret underground base, he will release a part of the insect swarm in Leviathan, and then the hatchery in Leviathan will hatch more insect units to supplement it.
.
There are insect tunnels connecting these nodes, and insect swarm units can easily and quickly reinforce from any node to the battlefield in a large area in the western rain forest.
Moreover, under Zagara's instructions, the insect mothers here also began to build a new tunnel worm network. Due to the soft underground soil of the rainforest, the tunnel worms built a channel network here very quickly, but there are several places
However, the insect mothers avoided it under the prompts of the Monitoring King Insect and the Node King Insect. Those places were the former Cui Fanke generation and the underground of Kurast Seaport.
The Monitoring King Insect and the Node King Insect discovered powerful psychic disturbance signals in these two areas. These psychic energy fields are even so strong that they are visible to the naked eye. If the Tunnel Worm Network passes through these psychic energy fields, it will be very easy.
It will be discovered by the creatures emitting this psychic disturbance.
However, in other places in the western rain forest, Xue Hua can now use the Nydus Worm network to travel to a limited extent.
The rainforest outside Kurast is still under the control of the demons on the surface, but in fact the insect swarms have begun to penetrate into this seemingly indestructible dam from all aspects. If this infiltration continues, the entire rainforest will soon be
The situation on the battlefield will be completely controlled by the insect swarm.
By then, Kurast will become an isolated city that is heavily besieged. Even if there are twice as many demon portals in it, it will not be able to hold on for long in this situation.
However, Cui Fanke's information was indeed somewhat beyond Xue Hua's expectations. Of course, Mephisto already knew that the professionals had obtained Kurast's information from Randall. The King of Hatred seemed to be adjusting himself.
’s tactical plan, Cui Fanke was also regarded as a special node in its plan.
However, the purpose of this node is not yet clear. Neither the Monitoring King Insect nor the Node King Insect dared to focus their attention on the abandoned rainforest city of Cui Fanke. There are very powerful creatures sitting there, and they rashly directly
Collecting intelligence may alert it and cause unnecessary trouble.
Xue Hua reviewed the information sent to him by the insect mother in this secret base, then left some of the insect units behind and left.
He was going to walk deeper into the Spider Forest. According to some surveillance data from the Overlord Insect, the demon army there seemed to be performing some strange rituals. There were a large number of dwarf wizards in the underground caves covered with spider webs.
You can go in and out of the cave, and there are powerful protective talismans on the cave to prevent prying eyes.
The insect swarm once sent mimic hatchlings and shadow bugs to sneak into it for reconnaissance, but from the intelligence fed back, it was impossible to tell what those guys were doing.
The group of dwarf wizards just kept dancing around a strange statue placed on a stone platform. The statue looked like a jade spider.
Xue Hua knows that there is a "Golden Bird" mission in Kurast in the game. He can use the "Jade Little Man" found during the adventure to exchange it for the "Golden Bird" of the ancient mage Kuya from the boatman Masif, and then take it
If the golden bird goes to the alchemist Eco, you can get a potion that increases the maximum life limit by 20 points after drinking it.
But this is not a game? The boatman Mashif holding the golden bird does not know whether he successfully escaped when Kurast fell, and even if he escaped, he would really have something like a "golden bird" in his hand.
?
The most important thing is that the jade statue that Xue Hua sees now is not a "jade villain".
