Chapter 47 The Fallen Demon's Shifting Old Cat did it!)
With the help of the surveillance king insect's vision, Xue Hua carefully observed this large group of fallen demons, which numbered at least 1,500 or more. He did not find Bisu Bosu.
The characteristics of Bisu Bosu are very obvious, including the dark golden skin that is different from other fallen demons and the terrifying long staff inlaid with human heads that is different from the one in the game.
But there is no such obvious guy in this fallen demon tribe.
Their leaders should be the three elite fallen magicians. These three guys were surrounded by other fallen magicians. They seemed to be performing some sinister and strange ritual. The three of them surrounded an open space, which was filled with various kinds of things.
There were corpses of various creatures and humans, and the torches beside them illuminated the entire Sunken Demon Camp brightly.
Three elite fallen magicians and about two hundred other ordinary fallen magicians danced a strange dance and circled around the altar made of bones in the middle.
Other Sinking Demons were armed with various weapons, and patrolled the surrounding area in teams of a dozen or so. This was the first time Xue Hua had seen the Sinking Demons carry out such an orderly military and tactical deployment.
Xue Hua frowned, his intuition telling him that these fallen demons were not doing anything good.
However, a colony of thousands of fallen demons is not something that the current insect swarm can sustain, especially when there are hundreds of fallen magicians and three elites with unknown characteristics in the middle.
So he cautiously bypassed this place and continued to move deeper into the icy plains.
According to Akara's message, the Bone Burial Ground is in the northernmost area of the Cold Plains. When Xue Hua left the camp, Akara still gave him a map of the Cold Plains, but this map was taken after the forces of hell occupied this place.
The previously drawn and labeled things are accurate except for the two Rogge camps and the surrounding environment. The accuracy of other places cannot be guaranteed.
The invasion of hell forces changed many things, including the geographical environment.
At the very least, the dozens of human villages marked on this map definitely no longer exist.
Just like where Xue Hua is now.
He is now in the ruins of a human village, surrounded by burned and collapsed farmhouses and abandoned farmland. This place was once marked as "Flolager Village" on the map Akara gave him, but now it is just
A deserted ruins.
Of course, there are monsters.
The insect swarm had just wiped out a group of about two hundred fallen demons, and this was the first time that Xue Hua's insect swarm paid the price for the battle.
A springtail was besieged by more than a dozen fallen magicians, and finally fell to the high temperature of the hell fireball.
However, such losses are nothing compared to the gains from the battle. What worries Xue Hua is another thing.
Before being eliminated, the fallen magicians in this fallen demon community were doing the same thing as the thousands of fallen magicians in the fallen demon community that Xue Hua had seen before.
Moreover, Xue Hua also discovered that this time, the fallen magicians, who are known for bullying good and fearing evil, resisted extremely fiercely. Even after the fallen magicians were called one by one by the Hydralisks, there was no deserter at all!
This is a very unusual thing.
You know, there is an old saying on earth called "A country is easy to change but its nature is hard to change."
The same applies to the creatures of Sanctuary and the demons of Hell.
There is only one possibility that can make them change their nature - there is a greater terror forcing them, this terror is more terrifying than death itself.
Xue Hua squatted next to the strange altar made of various corpses in the center of the ruins of the village, using a branch to rummage through these disgusting "building materials". Among these bones were human beings and various animals, and
It is said to be "built up", but in fact it is just piled up without any rules. From the appearance alone, Xue Hua, a half-hearted necromancer with no theoretical basis at all, can't tell anything at all.
"It would be nice if there were cameras or something like that in this world..."
He regretfully threw away the branch, stood up and clapped his hands, thinking helplessly.
However, I believe that other professionals will soon discover such an obvious thing. As long as someone reports the abnormality of the Sinking Demon to Rogge Outpost, then Akara will definitely know about it.
After letting the cockroaches around him corrode this strange accumulation into debris with a mouthful of acid, Xue Hua decided to spend today in the ruins of the village. He summoned a few worker bees and asked them to clean out a room that could be used by people.
A house to stay in.
Although there are tents, Xue Hua is not crazy yet if he doesn't live in a tent when there is a ready-made house.
As the scale of the insect swarm continues to expand, the worker bees no longer serve as the bodyguards of his master. Although they are occasionally pulled out to replenish their numbers when the war situation is urgent, most of the time they still return to their original profession——
Engineering work.
A few worker bees quickly renovated a farmhouse whose roof had not completely collapsed. They were quite experienced. This building, which was already considered dangerous, had been transformed into a strong temporary fortress after the work of the worker bees.
The worker bees even dug a tunnel so that the master could easily leave the house in an emergency.
When Xue Hua left the Blood Wasteland, he spent resources to upgrade the "burrowing" evolution option in the insect nest. This evolution will allow most ground creatures in the insect swarm to evolve the instinct of digging.
And what’s different from the game is that in addition to infected bugs and cockroaches, other Zerg units can also dig and move underground, but the traveling speed will be unbearably slow, and individual Zerg units will also make considerable noise (
For example, Thunder Beast) is far less cost-effective than marching directly on the ground.
This upgrade was specially prepared by Xue Hua for Xuewu's clone. According to Kasha's description, Xuewu is a very agile opponent, although due to the corruption of hell, she has lost all other skills except bow and arrow skills, and even projection.
She could only use rockets, but her agility and fast movement speed were still there. Although Xue Hua believed that the firepower of the Insect Queen and Hydralisk was enough to suppress the Blood Crow, in order to avoid accidents, he still made two preparations.
After upgrading the "Ground Claw" evolution option, the cockroach will not move slower underground than on the ground, so Xue Hua decided to use this to set up a trap for the Blood Crow, first using springtails and skeletons to block the Blood Crow's summons
Many hungry dead people were killed, and then used hydralisks to force them to move into the circle of cockroaches. After Xuewu entered the circle, he let the cockroaches rise from the ground, surrounded them in the center and beat them up. Of course it would be better if they were killed right away, even if
Even if she can't be killed, she must be seriously injured at least, and then Xue Hua will directly use the poisonous baneling with the "Centrifugal Hook" evolution option to end the battle.
Of course, a plan is just a plan, and how to implement it smoothly needs to be adapted to local conditions, but at least it is a feasible plan, right?
