Chapter 172 The Battle of Clearing Insects
A group of cute 'orioles' went to explore the way, but none of them came back.

The investigation failed, so Hu Qi sent another spy, a soul puppet made of shadow material.

To put it bluntly, it is a spirit body restrained in the special armor.

Compared with special armor, spirit bodies that can interact with people normally are undoubtedly more rare.

But even if Hu Qi is there, Zhou Ning can only say that the old guy is fully prepared in the past, which is reassuring.

However, the exploration method of this soul puppet is obviously different from that of the 'Oriole Bird'.

It does not point directly at the destination, but opens the way like a scout, explores an area, returns, and then the next area.

In such a way, the correct route must not be counted on, and Amitabha will be saved if you don’t take the wrong path.

Zhou Ning doesn't care, he just kills monsters and avoids pitfalls. He has so many ways to protect the bottom line. Even if this is a horror movie with five people inseparable, it is difficult to create a thrilling atmosphere, especially without BGM.Didn’t Teacher Li Xuejian say: Without sound, he can’t make any good plays (Golden Throat and Throat).

After about half an hour, the first area was explored.

According to Hu Qi, there is nothing abnormal.

And so the armed march began.

Of course, it's not as simple as just strolling around, Hu Qi sent out detection symbols to everyone.The five were tasked with checking the area for any other loopholes other than access.

It gave Zhou Ning the feeling that it was similar to using a scanner to detect.

The talisman flies around, but is restricted by the talisman and cannot leave too far away. It is like raising a pet bird. The personnel only need to go to every place in the area.There will be a reaction when the Talisman is found.

In order to act efficiently, the five people operated separately, but they didn't go their separate ways, but worked together to scan a small area, and so on, the distance between them was not far away.

Zhou Ning liked this cautious attitude very much. He was willing to join Hu Qi's team at the beginning, not only because Hu Qi was good at fooling around, but also because of his cautious attitude, which was very suitable for his appetite.

pity……

It can only be said that no one is perfect, a reckless person cheats his teammates, and a treacherous person hides his teammates.

It took nearly an hour and a half to complete the area exploration.

Hu Qi greeted the coolies to come down, except for one passage, the rest may be entrances and exits, all of which were sealed.

With the blessing of extraordinary power, this level of construction can still be done, and it doesn't take much time. It's nothing more than the need for professional thugs to keep an eye on the coolies when they work.

After all, in this kind of place, a hero who usually fights dozens of people is like a small cabbage, and it is easy to be overwhelmed.

"Hey, tell me, the Cang people in ancient times lived in such a dark cave, didn't they feel oppressed and depressed?" Yao Jie chatted awkwardly with Zhou Ning without anything to say.

"It is said that Cang people are outsiders who practice martial arts but not kung fu. The sensory level of the main body is low. A more refined cartoon can be enough to deceive the audience. Therefore, to create low-level illusion effects, you can have any environment you want. On the contrary, it is more interesting than a single reality scene.”

"Deceiving yourself."

"In my opinion, it is the wisdom of survival. There is almost no possibility of realizing ideals and wishes, and death is not reconciled. If you don't lie to yourself, how will you live?"

"According to what you said, most of the Cang people who are revered by future generations have a very difficult life."

"I think it should be said: each has its own difficulty, each has its own happiness."

"Like an ant, what happiness can there be?"

Zhou Ning smiled and said nothing.The topic is too big, too tiring to talk about, and I don't want to talk.

At the other entrance, Li Shi was wiping his knife and Yu Qing was drinking.

At the third entrance, Hu Qi was chatting with the soul puppet. Since the soul puppet couldn't see it with normal vision, it looked like an old lunatic whispering and talking to himself.

The daytime of the fifth day was almost spent in this state.

For most of the day, the progress of the four areas did not encounter any abnormalities.

The coolies thought it was okay, but the adventurers were not too satisfied.Anyone with a bit of intelligence would not be hard to guess. This is most likely due to the opponent's suffocation. The later the outbreak, the greater the threat.

On the sixth day, after the group went down to the underground palace, Hu Qi first inspected the magic circle set up in the closed area.

The magic circle is unharmed, and the seal is unharmed.

Hu Qi began to activate the solidification function of the magic circle one by one.

In the void, it was as if there were countless soap bubble makers operating, and the solidified matter similar to foam metal filled the relevant area.

Hu Qi's operation satisfied everyone.

Appropriately transforming the terrain to make it beneficial to one's own side, that's how it should be in a steady and steady fight.

Hu Qi also said that in this way, his own side also lost room to maneuver, and had to find a suitable place to build a fighting field.

Everyone approves of this arrangement.

So on this day, six areas were advanced, one of which was the arena.

Seventh day.

Hu Qi told Zhou Ning four bad news.

"Just as I guessed in advance, although the sun can't come here even during the day, the alternation of day and night still has a considerable impact on this place."

Yu Qing 'Dun Dun' took two sips of wine, wiped his mouth with his hand, and asked, "We don't need to fight at night, right?"

Hu Qi nodded: "It's not necessary, but when we leave at night, the area we opened up may be damaged, which will slow down our mission progress."

"If that's the case, then why don't we take the initiative to start a fight and have a good fight with the evil here." Yao Jie was murderous.

Li Shi danced a ball of knives: "If the battle is inevitable, I also suggest that we take the initiative to initiate it."

Yu Qing said: "I have no objection either, I've already drank a lot of wine, it's time to vomit."

Zhou Ning also stated: "Come on, it's lively and lively."

Hu Qi nodded: "Okay, let's arrange a show."

So on the seventh day, the progress of the overall advancement was behind, and only three areas were advanced.

But two of them were arranged as the second and third arenas.

According to the discussion of several people, once the situation is not right, they can turn tactically, so as to gain a breathing space before fighting.

After doing this three times, even if they are finally lost and need to retreat to the surface, I believe that a series of processes will be enough to release tons of damage and cause a lot of damage to the opponent.

Today's dinner venue is the third arena in the underground palace.

They ate something good, but everyone didn't enjoy themselves, and they were only [-]% full.

Night falls.

A moaning sound sounded.

Yu Qing took a long sip of wine: "Hey, it's surrounded, that's great."

Yao Jie held a red agate tobacco pot in her mouth, and the click speed was obviously accelerated. The tobacco in the smoke pot was as red as coals.

To say that the one with the weirdest appearance is Zhou Ning, dressed as a World War II soldier, pulls the bolt of a 98K staff and gun, and silently recites the line of {Wild Goose Expendables}: "Come on, little boy!"

What came was a huge black beetle comparable to black millet, which was very suitable for the occasion.

After the Cangren technology of "Tongxuanguan" was digested by the system, it quickly gave significant feedback, and it was a blowout. Seriously speaking, it would take hours to say it. To put it simply, the boundary between science and metaphysics has been further advanced. Vague.

Then Zhou Ning can finally pick up some stuff as he likes.

For example, the so-called "spear stick" that integrates a magic wand, a rail gun, and a monk's magic weapon.

The shape of 98K, on ​​the contrary, is the least important, it is just a leather case, just for playing.

The clothes are also the same, Zhou Ning is already tired of the kind of elevating crown Bo belt, Daxiu's fluttering style of cultivating immortals.

What's more, he never liked it.

The evolution of clothing, as well as the evolution of aesthetics, all have objective factors.

The common people under the Dagan imperial court, because of the need, all dressed like taekwondo and judo training uniforms, but most of the monks still wore classical appearances, and even many of them wore the ancient costumes of the ancient dynasty.

To put it in a good way, at first glance, it looks like a master who does not touch the spring water.

To put it bluntly, he has long been ungrounded, and is surrounded by the masses of the people everywhere like a monkey.

In his previous life, Zhou Ning was indifferent to the so-called Chinese costumes that were paraded through the streets, and he will not be nostalgic for those so-called ancient Chinese cultural elements in this life.

The reason why I learned how to dress up before is because as an outsider, after all, I have a feeling of being different from others, fear of being exposed, and fear of being rejected.

Now, fuck it, I'm me, different fireworks.Merging into your group has some benefits, and being happy is better than anything else...

Of course, the most important thing is that his strength allows him to act independently and play his own way.

This is a higher level than picking up one's own hobbies after being free of property. This is almost living according to one's own wishes.Others are just green leaves and companions. It is good to have them, but not having them will not affect his red flower.

It is said that in modern times, money is the expression of power, and having money means being able to do whatever you want.

As for the happiness of the rich, he has only touched some of it today.

The bugs rushed up, big and small, and half big.

However, this was already expected by the five people, and it was enough to prove it by looking at their preparations in advance.

'call! "Yu Qing made a temporary guest appearance as a fire-breathing girl, with special liquor, extraordinary power, and professional breathing skills, turning her into a powerful flamethrower, which reminded Zhou Ning of the fire-breathing soldier in StarCraft.

It's just that these black beetles are also extraordinary, with high absorption and high resistance. Yu Qing's flame spit, except for the most core part, can burn it to death, and the high temperature of thousands of degrees on the edge is actually being carried by the insects I couldn't even burn the tentacles, legs and feet.

Zhou Ning had expected this.

Don't look at the fact that he used the flame orb to burn the insects before. It seems very simple. Once it is burned, it will turn into ashes. It is really different from burning. His high temperature is tens of thousands of degrees. It is burning insects, and the sand has to be gasified.

Since it was expected, at this moment he played the role of a rescuer, making a big friend with one shot.

In the face of absolute power, there is no armor that cannot be broken.

Ultra-high-energy compression, piercing + explosion, directly blasting the black beetle, and the radiating residue and blood mist turned into fiery ash in the flames sprayed out by Yu Qing, really just like the performance of the flame-breathing girl, a cloud of fire Suddenly, it illuminates the surroundings.

The effect of Yao Jie's poisonous smoke was similar to that of Yu Qing's fire. It failed to achieve the effect they expected, but it was indeed useful.

And Shaxiu Li Shi played the role of the knife repairer who cooperated with Yao Jie. It was obviously a machete, and he had completed more than a dozen of them. He kept receiving and throwing them like juggling bottles.

His knife is really exquisite, it turns like a knife wheel. Although the effect is not comparable to the extraordinary magic that flashes of light at every turn, its power is not inferior to the flying sword of the sword repairer, and it can open the giant black beetle. Thick carapace.

Hu Qi is responsible for making up for the whole team.

In the field of combat, Zhou Ning's impression of Hu Qi was still in the category of an assassin who swung a knife at the right time to kill.But this time, what Hu Qi showed was the range attack ability.

Those who slipped through the strike net represented by the little beetles were all wiped out by him.

Zhou Ning looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't understand what the method was.

It seems to be some kind of special killing weapon with instant death effect.When the bug entered a certain range, it immediately turned over, twitched a few times on its back, and died.There were no scars either.

"This old boy has indeed made enough preparations, and he has a lot of secrets." Zhou Ning thought so.

There are so many bugs that it quickly becomes overwhelming.

The ones like Zhou Ning and Li Shi who clean up the big monsters can still hold on, but the ones like Yu Qing who kill people are a bit unbearable.

The first one who couldn't hold it was Yao Jie. After all, she was not like Yu Qing, who usually drank alcohol crazily whenever she had a little extra, and kept compressing the essence of fuel.

Her poisonous smoke is used and sold now, her lips have turned purple, and she has become a sausage mouth, she really tried her best.

Yu Qing's problem is that he is a little short of breath, and he keeps breathing deeply. The lung capacity of a real dragon may not be able to handle it.

But there was basically no time to breathe at the scene. The bugs kept coming and killing for a long time, but there was no reduction. In the dark, I didn't know how many there were, which was very tormenting people's will.

Therefore, in terms of breathing, Yu Qing has more difficulty planning rhythm than marathon runners.

Hu Qi was the most stable, he seemed to be able to support the last line of defense all the time, and as many as he entered the circle died.

But the insight ability present is not bad, so it is natural to notice that the death circle established by Hu Qi will shrink due to pressure.

Of course, it will also expand due to the vigorous performance of Yu Qing and Yao Jie.

Therefore, his defensive counterattack circle also has its own limit.

Yu Qing and Yao Jie began to squeeze themselves, and there were obvious changes in strong counterattacks and weak counterattacks, and the frequency was getting higher and higher, and the ups and downs were getting bigger and bigger.

'boom! 'Hu Qi activated the power of the formation.

I don't know if he used targeted power, but the effect alone is indeed one-on-one, clearing the field in an instant.

The main function of the magic circle before was to clean up the corpses in real time.Let the lethality of no one act on the enemy's vital forces as much as possible.

And there is such a big explosion, it is not surprising.

Yu Qing and Yao Jie hurriedly took the opportunity to recover, and even Li Shi took out the elixir.

Zhou Ning has nothing to add. The staff consumes external energy. To borrow the words of the US team: I can spend a whole day with you in this level of battle.

Hu Qi glanced at the calm Zhou Ning, took a pack of medicine silently, and said nothing.

After a while, the bugs came up again.

Yu Qing took another gulp of wine, hiccupped, and cursed: "What do these bastards usually eat? Why are there so many?"...

It's like a professional boxing match. After 7 minutes, the referee can hit two contestants at the same time. In the second round, the five-member team lasted almost half as long as the first round, so they had to use the power of the magic circle to kill them again. Get rid of the bugs in the area.

Hu Qi said: "The magic circle can explode once more, pay attention to save some strength to retreat."

Zhou Ningxin said: "A simple retreat is useless. The current situation is obviously unstoppable. It won't take long to go to the next battlefield."

He said, "Next, let me do it."

Yao Jie asked, "Like before you burned bugs with that big bead?"

"Yes, that's it."

Yu Qing sat down on the ground and let out a long breath: "Finally, I've waited until you said this." Then he began to drink heavily.
