Chapter 235 Hunting
After a few beeps, the second light screen lit up. At this time, the three people saw that Wei had cleverly divided the display area into three parts. Now the first two areas had displayed three-dimensional images, and only the third area It was still dark.

"Here..." Shuer pointed to the location where nothing was shown, "There is still no image? There is no image from the Allies either?"

"Yes."

"Okay, it seems that we can't see it for the time being." Shuer nodded and began to carefully observe the other two areas.

"Eh? These two people look familiar?" Moria squatted on the ground with Saff, holding her chin with both hands, staring at a corner of the first area with her big clear eyes full of curiosity, "They are sneaking around It looks so stupid.”

There is no doubt that the first area shows the cave controlled by the cave spider that has turned into a battlefield.

Looking down from a high altitude, the huge cave entrance looks no bigger than a fist. Insects the size of chickpeas are surrounding the cave in groups. The insects are next to each other, layer upon layer surrounding the cave entrance. airtight.The number of insect swarms is huge. Even if they are arranged so densely, they still occupy an area of ​​nearly one square kilometer. Even if the impact is reduced by dozens of times, they still occupy almost the entire field of vision.

The projection already feels very exaggerated. It is hard to imagine what a spectacular scene you will see if you are in the center of the insect swarm. I am afraid that if you are among an army of millions, it will be nothing more than that.

It is indeed an army of one million, and the number of bugs is estimated to be close to one million. With so many bugs staring eagerly at the mutant spider mother's nest, the pressure brought by it is not easy. However, there has never been any movement on the mutant spider's side. Guarding the cave as always, as if the millions of insect swarms outside the door were just millions of sculptures.

After a day, there were no more reinforcements from the insect swarm. Shuer suspected that it was not that there were no follow-up troops, but that the space was already crowded, and adding more troops would be just a waste.At this time, the battle has not started. The insect swarm is just guarding at the entrance of the cave. At this time, the order of the insect swarm can be revealed. It seems that millions of insect swarms have been guarding for a long time. If it were a group of ordinary humans, they would have been waiting for a long time. They were getting impatient, but although the bugs were scurrying back and forth in a small area, their formation never changed. The iron-like order was no less than the elite troops trained by Parvatija.

It must be admitted that the patience of the insect swarm was unexpected, but the patience of the spiders was even more amazing.

Spiders are inherently one of the most patient creatures. Their close relatives can sit motionless in the center of their webs for days on end, waiting for prey to fall into the web. Even this group of special spiders, which mainly hunt in groups for food, can Can lie dormant for dozens of hours under camouflage.

Therefore, the little spiders lay on the cobweb as if they were asleep, and their number increased a lot. There were already about a hundred little spiders guarding the entrance of the cave, almost filling the entire cobweb, which made people look creepy.Coincidentally, while the three of them were observing, dozens of little spiders came out of the cave and took over the work of their brothers and sisters, while the guards who were originally lying on the web lined up and sank into the depths of the cave. .

The original offensive and defensive battle has turned into a confrontation, which is not good news for the mercenaries. If in the melee, there is still a chance to lead a large force into the escape point, with luck, some ordinary people can be saved. , but now the weather is calm, and even the slightest movement will attract the attention of both parties, and no matter how lucky they are, it is impossible to rush in.But on the other hand, for the two mercenaries with missions, calmness might not be a bad thing.

In the image, Mia and Dak were hiding in a very inconspicuous corner outside the insect swarm, hiding behind a few rocks.The experienced two people had used medicinal powder to cover up the smell on their bodies, used crystal stones to neutralize the heat emitted by the body, used breath-holding potions to stop the breathing in the mouth and nose, and even suppressed the heartbeat to the lowest level with energy. It could be said that, Any factors that might expose him have been eliminated.

Because they were facing a terrifying swarm of insects.

I have to say that what Moria said makes sense. The two people were very cautious when lurking. From the perspective of teammates, they were very professional. However, from the perspective of a third party looking down, the way they looked around was not very smart, and their tiptoeing movements were not very smart. It's really stupid, but judging from the harvest behind them, the effect is pretty good.

For today's mission, the two of them brought several backpacks with five times the space. With five times the space of the backpack, there is no problem in carrying the corpses of one or two people. Among the insects, except for those with extremely exaggerated sizes, such as those with fangs Except for beetles, most of them can be accommodated.Now, there are several large bulging backpacks behind the two people. It is obvious that they have gained a lot. Only one is still empty, and they seem to be planning to fill the backpacks and come back because they have locked on another target.

It was an insect that looked similar to a spider, with five extra-slender legs and a pair of long, strong chelicerae. It also had a round body, but it didn't have a huge abdomen like a spider.This insect is agile and nimble, but the strange thing is that, except for the sharp tips of its legs and chelicerae, it does not have any offensive parts, and even its mouthparts cannot be seen. It is really incomprehensible for it to be so invisible. Bugs, why do they appear on the battlefield, and on the periphery of the battlefield?

But why is no longer important, at least to the bugs that are about to become trophies. The two experienced hunters are already ready to hunt.

A pit large enough for the two of them was dug behind the stone. A magic circle was engraved around the pit. Once activated, a thick layer of soil would be formed, sealing the two of them in the pit so that bugs could not find it.Of course, it has not been activated yet. The two of them are cautiously sticking their heads out. Mia has already guided the magic, and Dak is already ready to cooperate, waiting for the prey to reveal its flaws.

The strange bug was a bit lively, crawling around everywhere, and its claws would dig out a few holes on the ground from time to time, as if it was trying to bury itself in the soil. However, it never took action on this last step. After digging, If you find a hole, climb to another place and continue to dig another.The insect enjoying itself did not know that its wandering behavior had brought it to death.

"action."

This is the closest position to Mia and Dak on the insect's movement path, and it is also the hunting spot that the two have prepared long ago. When the insect steps on the predetermined position, the hunting begins.

Everything happened in an instant.

Mia pointed forward, and the temperature around the insect dropped rapidly. In a few tenths of a second, all its vital signs were frozen without even a freezing process. The muscles of the whole body crystallized at the same time, and the outside of the body was also covered. A layer of ice crystals appeared, and then, the bug that was running around just now was frozen in a thick block of ice. Before it even realized what happened, it lost consciousness and life.

This is exactly what Xiure asked in advance. He would rather return empty-handed than be discovered by the bugs, including when hunting, the prey must die in the shortest possible time, and he will not know who the enemy is until he dies.Although the reason was not stated clearly, Mia could probably guess what Seul was worried about. There is a spiritual connection between insects. The queen can directly command the insects through the spiritual connection. This is not an unfounded guess. It is indeed possible, so Mia also moved very carefully to ensure her concealment.

While the bugs were frozen into ice, Dak's assistance had arrived.The bloody rose turned into a long whip, crossed a distance of more than 20 meters, wrapped around the ice at the moment of freezing, and pulled the ice into the hole like lightning.The next moment, the magic circle was activated, the earth wall sealed the entrance of the cave, and the ground returned to flatness, as if nothing had happened.

Outside the cave entrance, there was almost no response from the insect swarm. Only the closest insect seemed to sense it and turned around to look around for a while. Some of them even wandered above the hiding place of the two men and circled a few times before returning to the group. inside.If bugs have intelligence and expressions, their current expression must be blank. No one knows what just happened. As for the missing one, there are tens of millions of bugs here. If one or two are missing, I'm afraid even the bugs Our queen won't even notice.

"Tsk, these two did a good job." Although they haven't found a solution to the problem of the breakaway point, there is no anxiety on their faces. The Jade Empire, which launched the most wars in the chaotic era, has a saying, war is like a rope, half of the rope It is your understanding of the enemy, and the other half is the distance between you and victory. The deeper the understanding of the enemy, the shorter the distance to victory.This is one of the tactical aphorisms that has been passed down to this day. Therefore, the work of the two men is still very important. It is completed perfectly and deserves praise.However, praise is praise. Looking at the surrounding situation, it is better to give up the idea of ​​​​leaving here.

"Wei, another marked location." Shuer muttered, "It seems to be a fortress?"

"Yes." Wei's language was incomprehensible to Sav and Moria, but Shuer had no problem understanding it. "That place used to be a temporary base for the Soul Clan."

"Soul race? Is that the race that originally belonged to the guardian clan, but eventually gave up their bodies and continued as spiritual bodies from generation to generation?"

"That's their base."

"How is the combat effectiveness of this group of ghosts?" Shuer asked, "How does it compare with us?"

"The overall strength is 50.00% higher than ours, but the difference in defense capabilities of individual bases is only [-]%, so there is not much difference in strength."

"It's better than us." Shuer tapped his thigh and said thoughtfully, "But it was still captured by the swarm of insects."

That's right, what appeared in front of me was a destroyed fortress. All that could be seen were ruins and broken walls, as well as insects crawling in and out of the ruins.
