Chapter 242 No way forward
"Do you still remember what we saw on the first night?" Staring at the 'empty jellyfish' in the sky, Shuer took Moria's hand and slowly backed away. If he was not invisible and could see his expression, he would definitely You can see the seriousness on his face. .

"Eh? When did we have our first night?" Moria could feel that the palm of the hand holding her was getting slightly wet, "Did you do something to me when I wasn't paying attention? "

"Hey, I know you mean well, but don't act nonsense at this time." Xiure squeezed his hand a few times and said angrily, "Be careful of scaring me so much that something will happen."

"Okay, okay, you think it can see through invisibility?"

"Wei told me yesterday morning that the image sent back was the invisible detector built by the base. Under normal circumstances, it would not be discovered by bugs. You also saw it the night before yesterday. We observed the battlefield for a long time, and there were no enemies. Nothing."

"Well, yes." Moria finally stopped making trouble, "As soon as this thing floated over, the detector was discovered by the enemy, so you think this thing can break the invisibility, but have you ever thought about it, our invisibility comes from The power of magic may not be the same as in their world."

"There is no difference. The so-called invisibility, except for high-level thieves who play tricks on the opponent's blind spots, is nothing more than playing with light. It is the same no matter which world. Therefore, the principles for breaking invisibility should also be common. , since they can see the invisible detector, they have a very high possibility of discovering us. Of course, it is also possible that we will not be discovered. The question is, are you going to try?"

"Okay, okay."

"It's good." Perhaps because he was done fighting with Safu, Shuer slapped the forest elf on the deer-shaped back and said angrily, "Isn't it fun to be a tree that is eaten by insects?"

"Hey? Are you worried about me?"

"Of course not." Xiure said seriously, "You haven't been drained of your usefulness yet. It would be a pity that something happened now. I won't bother to care about you until you are drained."

"Wow, you actually want to drain me. This is too explicit. Shouldn't you start with flirting? And then..."

"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Xiuer begged for mercy in distress, "Lord Moria, please bypass me and do serious things first."

"Hee, okay, I'll let you go this time." Moria smiled proudly after once again hitting a certain priest's arrogance, "What should I do now, shoot them down? Or hide behind the building? Avoid them?”

"Don't be ridiculous." Xiuer was about to cry. This deer was really capable of causing trouble. Although he knew that she was just talking about irritating people and would not really act recklessly, he was still frightened. "How far is it now?"

"110 eight meters."

"So precise?"

"I'm a hunter. Bows and spears are my lovers. Wow, by the way, if you want, you can shoot in third place. Okay, okay, I won't make a fuss. In short, I grew up with long-range weapons. If the distance is no longer accurate, the creatures in the forest will definitely cry."

That's right. If the distance cannot be measured accurately, then the shooting accuracy will definitely not be high. When an arrow flies out, it may not hit anyone.

"Judging from the current performance, this distance should not be discovered by the empty jellyfish." Shurala Moria, the two of them started to move sideways with the bugs floating in the distance as the center of the circle, "Then, stay with them At this distance, we need to find a way to get around them. In fact, we can go forward three meters further, because we took a few steps back just now, but to be on the safe side, let’s forget it.”

"I suggest you look to the right."

"Hiss." Shuer took a deep breath. There were also several bugs floating in the sky on the right. Although they were slightly farther away and the view was blurry, judging from their huge size and long tentacles, they must also be empty jellyfish. "It's really troublesome. If you want to go around it, you may enter the coverage area of ​​several other bugs. The bug's brain may have arranged it this way on purpose."

"Cross guard? It seems that the swarms are very targeted. They float, just to guard against invisible troops. Well, think about it, it's not necessarily just stealth detectors. I remember that the detectors are flying in the sky. Yes, if it's just to guard against the detectors, it will definitely bring flying bugs or long-range bugs, but I see that the ones crawling around on it are the most basic kind, at most there are only one or two suspected long-range attack bugs .”

"Well, I suspect that both humans and souls have warriors who can become invisible." Shuer nodded, suddenly remembering that Moria couldn't see him, so he had to respond, "That's why they are so well-guarded."

"Hey, Shuer." Moria came close to Shuer and whispered into his ear, "Tell me, if the brain of the insect swarm is really newly transformed, how can it have such rich combat knowledge? Alien The formation of the world projection is very sudden, and it is impossible for the brain of the previous generation to teach it knowledge."

"The inheritance of knowledge is something that is difficult to explain with common sense. Maybe this knowledge is engraved in the blood of the insects, and every new brain will automatically acquire it. Just like you forest elves, no one teaches you , but are born to fool around.”

"Ha, you provoked me first." "Sorry, sorry, I'm used to it." Xiure coughed a few times and quickly changed the subject, "Let's continue to move sideways, and I'll take a look at the defense status of these empty jellyfish."

The two of them stuck to the calculated safe distance and began to move slowly laterally. However, only then did they realize that the defenses inside were quite tight.Not only are there a large number of empty jellyfish floating in groups in the sky, but looking from a distance, there are many more bugs on the ground than in the outside. Some narrow areas between two nests are even filled with bugs. As you can imagine The density of the insect swarm.

"The two of them walked around, trying to find the weak points of the defensive circle, but they walked for an hour and had already circled more than ten kilometers, but they still failed to break into the defensive circle.

Of course, there is no chance at all. In fact, the movement of aerial jellyfish can be traced. Sometimes there will be gaps between them. If you seize the right opportunity, you can still break in through the gaps.

But neither Xiuer nor Moriya tried to do this. After all, the internal situation is unknown. Once they start to break in, there will be no time for the two to observe the enemy's path so leisurely. They may fall into nowhere to hide and be discovered by the enemy dilemma.If it is a last resort, you can indeed fight hard. With Xiuer's previous infiltration skills, it may not be impossible to get in, but it is not necessary now, and there is no need to put yourself in danger prematurely.

"I think I know why this area can't be displayed in Wei's place." Shuer finally stopped and sighed deeply, "We can't get in, and the invisible detector certainly can't get in."

"Why, are you planning to give up?" Moria said with a bit of ridicule, "I thought you were the kind of person who never gives up until the end."

"That's an idiot." Xiuer sneered, "Knowing that the chance of success is negligible, and he is wasting time and energy on it, I can only say that this kind of person is not normal. They don’t even know how to calculate.”

"Ha, that's good." Moria said with a smile, "I don't want to follow a captain who doesn't know when to persist and when to give up. In the projection of the other world, how many lives does such a person have? It’s not deadly enough. Well, your current performance is barely qualified. Please take good care of me in the future, Captain."

"Have you seen the hills over there?" After a moment of silence, Xiuer changed the subject in an obviously abrupt manner.

"Nonsense, do you think I'm a blind deer?" Moria replied angrily, "Huh? Are you ready to retreat?"

"Well, that's the highest point we can find. Go up there for one last look and then retreat. Let's go to point two."

"Why are you so persistent in wanting to go in?" Moria asked puzzledly, "It should be more than ten kilometers away from point three."

"If nothing else, this should be the nest of the insect swarm, so the defenses are so tight." Shuer explained distressedly, "The problem is, I can feel that the third escape point is not far away from us. It's three kilometers away, which means it's on the edge of the insect swarm's lair. If we can observe the conditions of the escape point clearly in advance, we might be able to make this the first choice target, so I'm so eager to see inside with my own eyes."

"Hey? There are three escape points, one in the spider's nest, one in the insect's nest, and one in the soul clan's nest. Were they agreed upon? Why don't we also arrange one for the human nest?"

"Yeah, what a pity, otherwise we would have gone back to the western wilderness to drink tea." Shuer misses the harsh environment of the western wilderness now. No matter how uncomfortable the dryness and heat are, it is much easier than facing millions of insects. .Unfortunately, they still had to face each other, so the two of them could only sneak up the mound and look in the direction Xiu Er pointed.

Being at a high place, the field of vision is much wider. In addition, Moria's eyesight is far superior to that of ordinary people, and she can see very far.

In the field of vision of the forest elf, the purple carpet of bacteria covered the ground, extending to the end of the line of sight, with no edge visible at all. Various nests were crawling on the purple surface, spewing out green gas from time to time, making the The air is filled with light green fog.The insect swarm mainly gathers around the nest building, whether it is driven by instinct or to protect the building. However, as a result, the ground troops' defense will have many weak points. If they are fast enough, they may be able to rush in.

"Shur, do you know what I saw?" Moria, who was about to look away, suddenly paused and held Shu'er's hand tightly.

"Of course I don't know."

"I saw a bug."

"Oh? I thought you saw tens of thousands of bugs."

"This one is quite special. It is more than 30 meters long and has a diameter higher than the surrounding buildings. Have you seen it?"
