Abyss invasion? As a demon cultivator, I laughed.

"A preview of the Old Days Trial?"

Qin Xiang's words made Chu Xiu raise his eyebrows.

It must be said that Qin Xiang seemed to be devoted to the country. Knowing that he might not be able to stop Chu Xiu, he simply proposed this suggestion to make the subsequent Old Days Trial more certain.

He probably also saw that Chu Xiu was a lone ranger and was probably not good at teamwork.

And the Old Days Trial was a difficult level that required the four top geniuses to work together to pass.

But in fact, he had this idea purely because of a serious misjudgment of Chu Xiu's strength.

Obviously, even after seeing the corpses that filled the cave, Qin Xiang's estimate of Chu Xiu's strength was only close to the king level, which was still greatly underestimated.

"I prefer to act alone." Chu Xiu said calmly.

He didn't want to share resources with others, and with his physique, being with others would only drag down the efficiency of the action.

"I know, and that's why I made this proposal," Qin Xiang handed over a tablet computer, "but I won't let you lead the team for nothing. I can take this opportunity to apply to the government for a pre-rehearsal project, which can get a lot of funds."

"How about five thousand causal points? Also, if you agree to this, I will immediately let my men return to Blue Star and use internal channels to auction the [Upgrade Core] you gave me at the auction venue in Kyoto. As long as you finish your exploration and return to Blue Star, you can receive the payment as soon as possible."

"And if you can bring all three people out alive, I will give you an additional five thousand causal points."

"How about it, is this proposal generous enough?"

As Qin Xiang's voice fell, Chu Xiu actually showed an interested look.

Ten thousand causal points are not a small amount. Although he has been earning tens of thousands recently, he is not naive to think that he can always have a steady stream of opportunities.

Most of the time, even the king-level awakeners are honestly playing in the wild, and it is good to earn one or two thousand causal points a month.

Ten thousand causal points are enough to make up for the resources shared by teammates, and there are still many surpluses.

The latter makes Chu Xiu even more excited. The value of [Upgrade Core] is self-evident, and putting it in the auction house in Kyoto can not only attract the most users to bid high prices, but also the commission of the auction house is relatively low, which can maximize the benefits of this item.

After a little thought, Chu Xiu said: "Are there any candidates?"

"No, it's up to you to choose. After all, it's dangerous to go deep into the pit, and we can't force it."

"But I have a list here, and I have a suggestion for you."

"What?"

"Do you know what the core components of a team are?"

In Chu Xiu's puzzled eyes, Qin Xiang stretched out three fingers: "A complete team must have three responsibilities."

"They are fists, eyes and brains."

"The fists are responsible for force attack, the eyes are used to scout the situation and collect information, and the brain is to process information and make the most reasonable decision."

"These three responsibilities can be responsible for one by multiple people, or one person can be responsible for multiple, but they must all have them, otherwise they will be like a lame athlete, even if No matter how good the physical fitness is, it is difficult to pass the difficult trials. "

"If there are still vacancies after filling the three responsibilities, the fourth person can add a fist to form a common strategy team with two fists. If the original three people are strong, they can also choose an auxiliary profession to enhance the overall strength, or choose a multi-functional profession to enhance the team's ability to adapt to changes. "

"Some teams have everything they need, so they will choose professions such as [Priest], [Spellbreaker], [Maoshan Taoist] that are good at mental defense to make up for their shortcomings. Most awakened people will lack in defense against mental attacks. If there is such a profession in the team, they will not be at a loss when facing pollution or mental attacks. "

Qin Xiang's words made Chu Xiu look thoughtful.

The other party's suggestions are very reasonable, and these should also be the experience of predecessors in countless battles.

For him, there is no need to consider the fist aspect. Among the awakened people of the same level, Chu Xiu's combat power is absolutely outstanding, and no one can see his back.

But this does not mean that he has no shortcomings. Knowledge reserve, long-distance reconnaissance ability, large-scale search ability, mental defense ability, and pollution resistance are all lacking.

Three more teammates can indeed add a layer of insurance for his exploration.

"The brain can be handed over to Su Jinyu. This girl has a rich knowledge reserve. This alone should be a unique existence among the awakened here. Perhaps it can play an unexpected role. The body combat power will not be worse than that of ordinary general-level awakened."

"And she has a request from me, so there is no need to worry about betrayal."

"The remaining two people."

According to Chu Xiu's mind, the first thing to do is to choose a role responsible for reconnaissance. As for the last person, it is naturally to bring a wave of good brothers to develop. Anyway, no matter who is chosen, it will not help him much.

But at the same time, he is a little entangled, because he carries four pieces of [pollutants] and Rasputin on his body, which makes him the focus of the disaster. It doesn't matter if he is alone. Even if he loses, he has the confidence to retreat calmly, but he may not be able to protect the safety of others.

And choosing Zhang Qingshan is easy to expose his true identity.

"Let's ask Qingshan for his opinion later. If he wants to venture deeper, I will recruit him into the team so that he can be taken care of by me."

With his mind set, Chu Xiu picked up the list Qin Xiang gave him and looked at it. It recorded the basic information of the awakened people that Qin Xiang was optimistic about.

"Lin Li, general level 4, profession [hacker (A)]."

"[Hacker (A)] is a very special profession. It can often play unexpected roles in scenes with electronic devices. And his level 4 strength can also be a good simulation of the future when he officially conquers the old trial. , the fighting power of the genius who cooperates with you." Qin Xiang explained in a timely manner.

Chu Xiu continued to read without comment.

Every time he flipped through a page, Qin Xiang would explain why he chose this person.

It has to be said that Qin Xiang is worthy of being an elite operator. Although there are only six candidates he selected, each of them is a very suitable team member for Chu Xiu, and most of them are generals and have strong physical strength.

But when he saw the last page, Chu Xiu paused slightly.

"Guan Ke?"

"Yes, she is your classmate. It seems that you two know each other." Qin Xiang said.

Chu Xiu didn't answer, but just glanced at Guan Ke's information. The level 2 fierce rank was very conspicuous among a bunch of generals.

"[Mechanic (A)] is a very comprehensive profession. It can create corresponding mechanical creations according to the specific needs of exploration, which makes it applicable to various combat scenarios. At the same time, mechanical dogs and mechanical flies can be used very well. It can be used to undertake reconnaissance missions, and the skill [Electronic Assistant Brain] unlocked by the fierce level can greatly increase the computing speed, and can also store a large amount of relevant data in advance and query it at any time.”

"It can be said that this profession can take on the tasks of the brain, fists, and eyes at the same time. Although I am not proficient in it, I can still be regarded as a good candidate for the team members."

"It's just that the level is a bit low." Chu Xiu said.

"That's true, but a mechanic's combat effectiveness mainly depends on his own talent and the accumulation of mechanical creations, and it has nothing to do with level." Qin Xiang said, pointing to a line of information on the list he gave Chu Xiu.

"What makes me value this woman more is her talent."

"[Remote Control (B)]."

"This talent allows the mechanic to expand the control distance of mechanical creations several times, which makes the reconnaissance range of the mechanical creations responsible for reconnaissance also increase several times. Although the reconnaissance capabilities of mechanical creations are compared to those of specialized reconnaissance professions, It is lacking, but few reconnaissance professions can have this kind of large reconnaissance range, which is especially useful when facing enemies with weak concealment capabilities. "

"In underground military bases, there are bound to be a lot of traps and ambushes. Compared to rushing in directly, it is undoubtedly a wiser decision to prioritize using a large number of mechanical creations for reconnaissance. At the same time, the powerful search capabilities also greatly enhance the efficiency of operations."

"That's it." Chu Xiu nodded, with an inexplicable smile in his eyes.

He roughly guessed that Guan Ke's talent was definitely not [Remote Control (B)], but should be [Conscious Attachment (S)] that could play a similar role, but the effect was far more exaggerated!

Chu Xiu also understood why Guan Ke wanted to hide.

This is the top talent of the machinist profession. Whether a mechanic has this talent or not, there are two completely different professions!

Ordinary mechanics use firearms, exoskeletons, weapons and other equipment to fight in the early stage. In the later stage, they can build their own tanks and mechas and drive them into battle.

Very strong, but no matter what, he is just a person after all, and it is not a perverted profession.

But after possessing the attachment of consciousness, a fundamental transformation will occur. A mechanic with this talent can disperse his consciousness on the machinery he created, and directly build a huge mechanical army!

Those top mechanics even have their own space carrier! It can control thousands of artillery pieces and fighter jets to launch attacks at the same time. Its terrifying destructive power makes even the government afraid!

This is why mechanics are known as the A-level profession with the most severe differentiation between strengths and weaknesses.

A weak mechanic is no different from an ordinary combat profession, but a strong mechanic can form an army and destroy a country by himself!

Conscious attachment (S) is the key!

However, few mechanics are born with this talent, and most of them acquire this trait from the late stages of the Abyss.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a trait with the same or even higher value than [Damage Sharing]. Even if it is B level, it will cause countless people to rush for it!

"Just her." Chu Xiu tapped his fingers, "I will choose the remaining two."

Qin Xiang was not surprised by this choice, he just asked Chu Xiu to contact him himself.

The other three kings are also selecting team members, so there is actually a possibility that Chu Xiu will be rejected, and the probability is not low.

In the following time, he found Su Jinyu and Guan Ke and explained the relevant matters.

Su Jinyu asked him for anything, so she naturally agreed, but she also hinted tactfully if she could give him a bottle of eternal life wine as a reward.

Chu Xiu agreed, but accordingly, the causal points and items she received during the exploration would be given to Chu Xiu, and additional rewards from Qin Xiang would also be given to him.

The other three team members can also obtain resources from government projects, but they are less than Chu Xiu. They only have 3,000 points per person, but in fact this is already a lot for a fierce-level awakener.

As for Guan Ke, I was originally a little hesitant to go deep into the military base. After all, this girl looks rough, but in fact she is more cautious than Chu Xiu. Chu Xiu sometimes makes radical choices for the sake of opportunity, but she only wants to grow steadily.

But after hearing about the additional resource rewards, I agreed.

The development of the mechanic profession requires resources in particular. It is somewhat similar to the [Duobao Demon Lord] lineage of demon cultivators. Before a powerful mechanical creation is built, it is almost equivalent to a blank slate profession.

Finally, after Chu Xiu heard from the sidelines that Zhang Qingshan was also preparing to enter the abyss, he also extended an invitation to him.

Although this choice was a bit unexpected, due to the powerful destructive power of the dragon, it did not arouse any suspicion, especially since Chu Xiu deliberately delayed it for a while, waiting for the other generals to be taken away by several kings before he made the decision. invitation.

After Zhang Qingshan himself heard that this was a rehearsal for the old trial, this guy who was full of grand narratives naturally agreed to join without hesitation.

Just like that, the four-person exploration team was officially formed.

One day later.

On the edge of the pit, more than a dozen artillery pieces and hundreds of mortars were pouring ammunition to the bottom of the pit non-stop.

Amidst the deafening roar, faint flames burst out from the huge pit that swallowed up all the light.

At the same time, a large number of drones, controlled by auxiliary professions, carried lighting equipment deep into the abyss. These drones formed an intertwined detection network that could transmit the scanned images to the terminal in real time.

The government's method is to first use detection radar to scan the general terrain, and then send drones to detect facilities where there may be military defense forces or gathering points of corrupt organisms. After confirmation, they will be cleared with artillery.

After nearly a day of large-scale bombing, the defense force in the military base has been reduced a lot. In the pictures transmitted by the drone, there are corrupted creatures that have been blown into blood foam everywhere, and broken limbs are everywhere. visible.

"Although after a day of non-stop bombing, the enemy's defense force has been lost a lot, the pit is too big, covering an area of ​​nearly 100 square kilometers, which is about the same size as a small city. With this firepower alone, It won’t hurt the opponent’s fundamentals.”

"So, at present, we have only temporarily cleared out a few safe areas, and we still have to leave the subsequent exploration to you."

Qin Xiang said solemnly. In front of him were four teams led by Chu Xiu and three kings.

"Your mission is to explore the area below from four different areas, lay a solid foundation for the follow-up support team, and at the same time detect as much information about the disaster as possible, including location, attributes, abilities, etc., for the best Be prepared for elimination.”

Qin Xiang said, and gave each of the four people a terrain recorder, which can automatically scan the nearby terrain and upload the data.

There is also a special communication prop that can achieve long-distance communication and can also locate the holder's position, making it easier for several teams to exchange information and support each other.

"Please also keep in mind that the primary task this time is reconnaissance. Do not advance rashly or perform decapitation operations. We will advance steadily after the subsequent large forces enter."

Faced with Qin Xiang's instructions, the four of them nodded. High-level creatures usually have some special abilities that are extremely difficult to deal with. Therefore, in high-level battles, information is extremely important. No one will do it because of this. main idea.

Not to mention, going deep into the lair means that you may be surrounded and ambushed by a large number of corrupted creatures at any time. If you are dragged down by the opponent's king level, even the king level awakened person may be consumed alive. In comparison, it is better to wait. Fire support will be more reliable in action.

After giving instructions to everyone, Qin Xiang came to Chu Xiu alone and handed him a small electronic device.

"I will also lead a small team in later, and the location will not be far from you."

"This is an activation shield created by a king-level mechanic. It can be activated by inputting a small amount of energy, forming a solid protective barrier. It takes a lot of effort for a king-level creature to break through it. And at the moment of activation, It will also alert me and transmit your location."

"If you encounter any danger, activate this device as soon as possible. Remember not to take risks."

"Yes." Chu Xiu nodded, took the device and glanced at it.

It is a [treasure] item of a king's rank, and it is obviously worth a lot of money, which shows that the government really attaches great importance to him.

After Chu Xiu took over, Qin Xiang said no more and just led his men to the area he was responsible for. Chu Xiu gathered his team members and stood on the back of Zhang Qingshan's dragon.

As the giant dragon's thick legs kicked back, the five-meter-tall and ten-meter-long behemoth jumped up from the rubble in the sky, spread its wings in the air, and glided toward the bottom of the dark pit.
