Chapter 320 The Crazy Alchemist
【You rush towards the ant colony defense line, and the warrior shadow wolf follows behind you. 】

[The ants are enraged by your provocative actions, and they rush towards you screaming. 】

[You released a strong wind, and the ant colony was overturned. 】

[A large amount of magical shock waves exploded in front of you, which was the fire support from teammates, tearing a path for you in the dense ant colony defense line. 】

【You and the shadow wolf successfully broke through the ant colony, but attracted countless soldier ants to chase after you...】

[Shadow Wolf released the 'Wind Concealment Technique' on you. 】

[Your body is surrounded by a layer of thick wind element, which refracts the light, hides your figure, and blows away your smell. 】

[The ant colony pursuers lost your tracks, so they can only probe their tentacles and keep spinning in place...]

It is not difficult to break through, and the magic that Shadow Wolf uses also makes Mu You very interested. The wind concealment technique, the wind-type invisibility, can not only refract light, but also hide the smell, which is much more practical than normal invisibility, especially in this place. In an insect nest, ants rely on smell to identify enemies. Once the smell is gone, it will be worse for ant beasts than being blind.

In short, now that the pursuers had been thrown off, all the soldier ants in the ant nest were attracted to the front line to fight against the enemy. The entire ant nest became empty, and Mu You and Shadow Wolf could find their way in it with peace of mind.

Mu You silently pressed the pocket watch.

These occasional 'surprises' are also the main motivation for Muyou to play hide-and-seek patiently here. It's all about opening the blind box. As long as you find the equipment, you can earn a small profit. If you are lucky enough to find some high-level items, you will earn blood!
After searching like this for about an hour, I picked up a bunch of junk, but didn't find any high-end equipment. Mu You was already a little disappointed.

Next, Mu You began to search all the way with his pocket watch. Most of these ant nests were empty, and the rest were basically occupied by worker ants. There were only a few ant nests. There were no ants living in them, but there were some low-level equipment and props. , should be the equipment left behind by the adventurers who strayed into the ant nest and were killed by the ants.

[After seeing the fat termite in front of him, the shadow wolf drooled again, as if recalling the delicious food he had tasted. 】

"Sure enough, they all came back to rescue..."

【"But not all magic fountains can be used. It must be a fountain with sufficient energy and long-term existence. The underground fountain under the Xiaose Mountains is the most powerful fountain known to date. However, this fountain is occupied by a termite queen." Eugene continued to explain. 】

【You summoned Treants, War Trees, Hydralisk Guards, Underworld Devil Boys, Fire Giants...】

[You agreed to the old goblin's request. 】

["Are there ants outside?" The voice sounded again. 】

[Outside the karst cave, there were bursts of roars of termite beasts one after another, and the queen was attacked, causing the termites in the entire ant nest to fall into a state of frenzy. The location is rushing...]

[Task content: Escort the old goblin Eugene to the queen ant's lair, kill the queen ant, find the fountain occupied by the queen ant, and help Eugene complete its experiment. 】

[This is a naturally formed underground magical fountain, and at this time, on top of the fountain, there is a huge white bug, nearly ten meters high and three to forty meters long, which is the only one in the entire ant nest A termite queen! 】

The queen is done, but it's not over yet.

[Shadow Wolf took advantage of her archery skills, opened her bow and set her arrows, and activated the talent of 'split arrows', each arrow can shoot ten energy arrows at the same time, and the soldier ants on the ground will be split by her as soon as they appear. Arrows to kill! 】

"I... I'll withdraw after I'm done with this place."

[The sleeping worker ants in the worker ants area also woke up one after another at this time, screaming and coming to rescue the queen, but were stopped by a few trees at the entrance of the nest...]

But there is no better way now, I can only look for it first, if it doesn't work, I can only give up the queen ant, directly attract the soldier ant colony back, and let Lin Xue and the others go through the broken bridge first.

[After you killed termites with the cooperation of many summoned creatures and shadow wolves, your experience value will be +12, and you will get 'Queen's Egg'*1...]

[The old goblin looked at the more dazzling conversion device, his eyes became brighter, and he laughed excitedly: "I succeeded, my research is indeed effective, this invention will rewrite the energy history of the astral world... ..."]

[When you broke in, the termite queen also discovered the intruder immediately, and immediately let out a shrill neigh, and an invisible wave spread throughout the entire ant nest in an instant: this is the termite queen sending a signal for help to the outside world! 】

[Termite queen (level 20): Attack power 0, HP 173500...]

[You enter the next ant nest and find that it is another empty nest.But at the bottom of the ant nest, you can see a square metal box, about one meter in length, width and height. The surface is rusty and has been corroded by formic acid. 】

[The space in the nest suddenly becomes wider, and behind the narrow opening, there is actually a vast underground cave connected. 】

[Congratulations for triggering the special task: the request of the crazy alchemist. 】

This ant queen's level is as high as level 20, and her health has reached a terrifying 17!Fortunately, the queen ant has no means of attack, even if she respects Roshan, Mu You doesn't have to worry about being attacked, just output with all her strength.

……

At this time, Shadow Wolf finally showed her epic strength. At least she is a level 23 elf, and she is not a parallel importer like the Templar Knights who mainly focuses on defense, but a real fighter. This burst, the strong output is immediately reflected When he came out, the berserk troll God of War next to him couldn't catch up.

"Hurry up!"

[Task reward: 'Energy conversion device' blueprint. 】

While Mu You was talking, an attack order had been issued in the game.

"Go first and find the way to the temple."

[A large number of caves have been corroded by worker formic acid on the rocks on both sides, forming a three-dimensional nest, thousands of closely connected ant caves are distributed on it, and each cave is the residence of a worker ant or soldier ant ...]

[Goblin Eugene swallowed, took out an oval 'egg-shaped' mechanical device from the package behind him, came to the fountain, and threw the device tremblingly to the crack of the ground. 】

Mu You was not surprised, his house was raided, and these ants definitely didn't have time to deal with the intruders outside.

[You used the Troll Shrine, summoned the Troll God of War and the Troll Priest. 】

【You feel the magical power around you, streams of pure energy pouring into your body, and the magical power that you exhausted begins to recover quickly...】

[There is a very conspicuous ground fissure in the center of the cave. The strong magical energy constantly gushing out from under the ground fissure emits colorful brilliance, illuminating the entire cave. 】

Immediately, Muyou summoned summoned creatures all over the ground, and cooperated with him and the shadow wolf to output the ant queen with all their strength.

As expected, once the queen was attacked, the entire ant colony went into a riot. However, it would take some time for the soldier ants to rush back. As for the worker ants living nearby, these dedicated coolie ants can do their job well, but fighting is too good for them. Well, Mu You directly arranged a few tree men to block the entrance of the cave, so that none of these worker ants would even try to break in.

[The mechanical device automatically floats and hovers in front of the ground seam. Under the washing of the rich magical energy below, the originally dim device began to light up with a blue light quickly, and the violent energy gushing out of the magic fountain was converted into gentle magic power inside the device , spread around. 】

This old goblin really has two brushes, and the game character moved with it for about 10 minutes, and a prompt popped up.

[A soldier ant was sleeping soundly in the ant nest, and was awakened by your voice, and immediately issued an alarm message...]

[The old goblin took the bread, ate it hungrily, and finally regained some vitality. 】

[The energy of the seam fountain is enough to allow its device to operate, but it is not stable enough.If the energy conversion device wants to operate for a long time, it not only needs a violent and huge energy source like a fountain, but also needs this energy to be stable for a long time.And such an energy source with completely opposite conditions is simply impossible to exist. 】

[Time flies, you enter the ant nest ahead. 】

[This is also the reason why it appears here.The tribe didn't understand its research, and without support, it could only venture here alone.However, after sneaking into the ant nest, Eugene was quickly discovered by the patrolling soldier ants. In order to save his life, he had to activate the "Goblin Emergency Life Support Device" he carried with him, and sealed himself in the protection of the iron wall. 】

[The old goblin saw you and the shadow wolf, and was not afraid of your strength, but immediately looked at you and asked if you had any food.your choice……】

Originally, Muyou planned to use the troll god of war's "exchanging blood" to quickly get rid of the ant queen, but after trying it, he found that it was not working. The text prompts that the current life value of the termite queen is higher than the life limit of the troll god of war. Ability cannot be activated. '

"What about you?"

"The ants are all gone!"

At this time, the summoned creatures at the door had been almost killed by the ants. Mu You hurriedly clicked the ice wall technique, and erected an ice wall at the entrance of the cave to block the ants.

[The old goblin sees that you have the ability to move freely in the ant nest, so he asks you to escort it to the queen ant's nest and kill the queen ant, so that it can continue its own experiments and prove its theory is correct.If you agree to help him, it is willing to give you the blueprint of the 'energy conversion device'! 】

【Eugene holds a round metal instrument panel and moves forward according to the direction of the pointer on it.This is an alchemy device dedicated to detecting magic fountains. According to its instructions, you can easily find where the ant queen is...]

Out of nowhere, an old goblin was rescued, Barabara explained it to him, and even came up with a mission.

[As time goes by, you go back outside the ant nest and step into another ant nest, only to find that this ant nest is empty...]

[You chose the nearest ant nest to step into. 】

Thinking about it, Mu You hastily clicked on the text of 'Metal Box'.

If this thing is really done, it will be equivalent to the "controllable nuclear fusion" in the magic world. From then on, all the geothermal fountains in the world can be utilized and transformed into a steady stream of energy for human use.

【You and Shadow Wolf continue to explore with Eugene...】

【You go up to check and turn the box over for a few weeks, only to find that there is no lock on the surface of the metal box, and there is no mechanism that can be opened. 】

[The light in the cave quickly returned to normal. Several of you were slightly injured by the explosion, but you are not seriously injured.The old goblin Eugene stood in front of the crack, staring blankly at the magic fountain in front of him, with unspeakable disappointment flashing in his eyes: its experiment failed! 】

【Just as you were about to check the box further, you suddenly heard a faint voice from inside the box: "Is anyone outside?"]

【Following the guidance of the goblin Eugene, you stepped into an inconspicuous ant nest ahead. 】

[You made a piece of magic bread on the spot and handed it to the old goblin. 】

"Is there someone?" Mu You raised his eyebrows.

[The reason why Eugene appeared here is because he recently had a new invention: a special energy conversion device!Using this device, those huge and violent magic source energy can be transformed into a stable energy output. 】

[The queen's nest is hidden in this ant hole. In order to prevent being easily distinguished by the enemy, the appearance of the queen's nest is exactly the same as that of a normal ant nest. To find the queen's nest, you need to enter these caves one by one to explore...]

【Shadow Wolf took out the scimitar and stepped forward, skillfully cut up the corpse of the termite queen and put it into the backpack. 】

[Under the threat of life, the termite queen began to save herself by constantly laying eggs. One by one, soldier ant eggs emerged from her tail. After landing, the immature soldier ants immediately broke out of their shells and attacked you... 】

When this text appeared in the game, Lin Xue also sent him a message.

"Metal box?"

【Those termite beasts grabbed it, but they couldn't help it. They could only use formic acid to corrode the device every day.It has been trapped in the device for more than a week. If no one comes to rescue it, it will definitely die. Fortunately, your arrival in time gave it a chance to survive. 】

The rest is a race against time. At this time, Mu You also randomly presses the magic on the panel. All kinds of attack magics can be thrown out without cooling down. How can such a big ant queen be hit.

[Queen eggs: The offspring that carry the life essence of the queen, place them in a suitable environment underground, and after absorbing enough energy, they can re-grow into the queen of termites. 】

[As your voice fell, the iron box suddenly squirmed, and the surface was automatically lifted layer by layer, finally revealing the inside of the box. 】

The current situation has developed into a game of hide-and-seek between him and the queen ants, which requires him to touch one by one, and if he makes a mistake, it will trigger the alarm of the worker ants and attract the distant soldier ant colony back.

The text has already begun to hint that the "first soldier ant" appeared at the entrance of the cave, and the tree man was a little bit unable to defend, so Mu You hurriedly sent a few more summoned creatures to block the door.

Mu You was taken aback, one meter in length, width and height, that would be quite a big box, could it be some kind of treasure box?

[The old goblin's name is Tours Eugene, a master alchemist of the goblin tribe, but although he is an alchemist, Eugene is not respected by his tribe, because his alchemy does not play cards according to common sense. There are always some crazy ideas, and I like to develop some bold and weird props. As a result, not only failed to develop any positive effect for the goblin tribe, but caused frequent damage to the tribe, and brought huge property losses to the tribe, so Disliked by other goblins, known as the 'crazy alchemist'. 】

Mu You was a little surprised when he read the text. The thing invented by this old goblin is a bit powerful. It can actually transform the unusable violent energy of underground fountains into gentle energy.

[Under your full attack, the screams of the queen ant became more piercing, and her health began to drop at a speed visible to the naked eye. 】

【You and the shadow wolf attacked the ant queen immediately! 】

[However, before the goblin's voice fell, the conversion device floating in front suddenly became extremely dazzling. It seemed that it had endured a huge load in a short period of time, cracked layer by layer, and finally exploded into powder with a roar, and disappeared completely... ...]

Under the joint attack of the crowd, the blood bar of the queen ant dropped like a faucet, and finally finished the kill before the soldier ant colony broke through.

【The old goblin was overjoyed, hurriedly packed his bags and left the ant nest, and quietly touched the depths of the ant nest, and motioned for you to follow. 】

[The old goblin is very grateful for your life-saving grace, but at the same time, your appearance has also inflated its ambitions that have almost disappeared! 】

Even if Muyou has a pocket watch to avoid being discovered, this job is really a bit embarrassing. There are thousands of ant nests, and he has to find out when to go.

[The old goblin thanked you for the gift, and told you about its experience. 】

[A green-skinned goblin struggles to crawl out of the box. 】

【"Not yet." You said. 】

【This is a scrawny goblin. It looks very old, and its every move is full of an old feeling, but there is a trace of frenzy in its red eyes. 】

What kind of 'energy conversion device' is this? He still doesn't know how valuable it is. However, looking for the queen ant was originally what Muyou planned to do. Now, looking at what this old goblin means, it seems that he knows the location of the queen ant's nest. In this case just let it lead the way.

This thing is very good. This egg is equivalent to a brood of termite beasts that can be placed in a steady stream in the future. It can be placed in Dawn City in the future, and it can be used as a fixed experience dungeon to harvest once in a while.

[It's a pity that this is not the queen ant's nest. There is an ordinary worker ant curled up in the nest. The worker ant noticed your presence and immediately sent an enemy attack signal to its companions...]

[The termite queen disappears, and the crack fountain on the ground is completely exposed, you urge the goblin to act as soon as possible. 】

【"I believe that the underground magic fountain can recharge my device. If it succeeds, it will greatly reduce the energy pressure of the entire astral world!" Eugene looked at you enthusiastically and said. 】

【"Yes." You chose to respond to the other party. 】

[You have come to the worker ants area! 】

Successfully complete the kill.Because the queen ant only has a lifespan of seven months, there is no chance of resurrection after death, but something like 'queen eggs' will burst out, which can be regarded as the inheritance of the queen's life.

However, just when he was about to give up searching for the queen, a new text suddenly popped up in the game.

【"It turns out that my research was meaningless from the very beginning." Eugene came to this conclusion in pain, the enthusiasm in his eyes gradually dissipated, and he seemed to have aged decades. 】

This old goblin was very sad. He thought the experiment was going to be a success, but unexpectedly, he was slapped in the face in the blink of an eye, and it was a complete slap in the face, directly obliterating the meaning of his whole life's painstaking efforts.

However, when Mu You looked at the game text at this time, he touched his chin, and a strange thought suddenly popped up in his mind.

It needs to be both violent enough and stable enough energy source, he seems to have it...
