Hunter Queen: Killer Queen

Chapter 370 Heavy Rain × Pattern × Heavy Rain?

The night passed very peacefully, and Joey felt refreshed when he walked out of the tent in the morning.

The air in the forest is very fresh. Although there are no smart birds chirping, just this lush feeling makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Just looking up past the trees in the forest, I can see that the sky is still gloomy, which is a fly in the ointment!

This kind of weather is perfect for sleeping at home, especially after work and some light rain. The sunny day the next day will make people feel refreshed.

Unfortunately, Joey has to continue working, and there are still potential dangers in the forest.

Even the smell of blood coming from nearby reminded Joey to be careful.

The thing that smelled of blood was none other than the same ferocious monster that Biyang De encountered last night.

However, no one dissected the monster's corpse, which made Joy miss Crook's existence. If it were her, she would have accepted the monster's corpse with some excitement!

Joey took the initiative to push forward. He was also very curious about this kind of monster.

The person who killed the monster was Yi Mi who was on guard last night.

Before Joey even got close to the monster's body, Yi Mi had already popped a paper ball towards him.

After catching the ball of paper, Joey saw some information about the monster recorded on it, but the introduction was very simple and nothing could be seen at all.

But Joey had never thought that Yi Mi could be so cooperative.

He has never felt that Ilmi is an easy person to get along with, especially since he and Killua haven't gone far apart, which may cause Ilmi to be jealous.

Now it seems that he is overthinking it.

Fast, powerful, and resilient. He may have special abilities and be able to use Nian.

This is the information given by Yi Mi.

When Joey saw the last one, his eyes couldn't help but widen a little.

But this situation could be considered to have been expected a long time ago, so apart from being a little surprised at first, he then devoted more energy to dissecting the corpse.

It's just that this thing has been dead for a while. Apart from the fact that the fatal wound on its body was in the throat, there is too little other information available.

Even Joey couldn't find any trace of the divine characters on this thing. It seemed that there were no divine characters on this monster.

This can be considered a gain.

Ten minutes later, after Liszt put away his tent, everyone started heading deeper into the forest again.

After walking a few kilometers, raindrops began to appear in front of them, and the rain became heavier as they advanced. In the end, everyone had to start walking along the branches of the trees.

But it was also this choice that allowed them to slowly discover some information on the tree trunks.

"It's the message left by Pyorn." Joey looked at the metal piece embedded in the tree trunk. He had seen this thing with Pyorn.

As for the specific production, he didn't know.

But the appearance of this thing was equivalent to telling him that the association's team did not arrive in the labyrinth city directly from the air as expected.

"Well, it seems they didn't go as smoothly as they thought." Jin said calmly.

It could be heard from his tone that he was not surprised by this situation.

In fact, it is very easy to understand. If the labyrinth city is really that easy to reach from the air, then the dangers in this dark continent will not be as much as imagined.

Although the sky can be seen far away at a glance, the dangers present are no less than those on the ground.

It is even this invisibility factor that makes the sky more dangerous than the ground.

I think the association and Byande must have taken this into account when they made the decision to take the aerial route.

The team was still moving forward unhurriedly, with no intention of joining the people in front of them or speeding up.

The heavy rain in the sky is getting heavier and heavier, and now the loading has become invisible from a few meters away. The ground below has long since disappeared, and only the water is rushing toward the low places.

The compass lost its effectiveness at some point, and the direction became difficult to discern in the forest.

But this situation did not stump an explorer like Jin. In an operation that Joey could not understand, Jin determined the direction and led everyone to move forward.

It seems that the number of monsters among the trees has begun to increase.

In this case, Joey did not continue to restrict the circle. He carefully spread it out, but did not interfere with the heavy rain.

He was just exploring the nearby situation. The aura on the monster was extremely weak, but it was not absent.

It seems that in order to resist the erosion of heavy rain, the monster's body will occasionally have its aura exposed when it moves.

As for how many monsters are lurking among the trees, it is completely confusing.

However, it can also be analyzed from this point that rainwater should not be simple!

Joey and the others have always used their thoughts to disperse the rain out of their bodies, so they have never paid much attention to the rain. Now, they have made some guesses about the rain through sensing monsters.

In addition, Joey and Jin also communicated their experiences in using circles in the Dark Continent.

According to Jin, there are not many things that can interfere with the circle, so the use of the circle is a judgment of risk.

If you feel that using circles is more risky than not using them, then don't use them.

Now, Joey feels that the risk of using circles is smaller than not using circles, so he will naturally choose to carefully spread the circles to explore more situations.

He put the rainwater into a glass container, and Nian also explored the rainwater, but he did not sense anything special from the rainwater.

This seems to be very ordinary rain.

But is it really so? Joey pursed his lips. The Dark Continent was really a confusing place.

Nian is still rejecting the falling rain, and everyone's choice is the same.

Jin also collected rainwater, but did not give any feedback. However, the person in charge of the team's vigilance had already encountered many monsters during the march.

These monsters are more in line with the habits of predators. They do not waste physical energy, and some attack like killing with one blow.

Especially after determining that the target is difficult to deal with, they will leave directly after the attack fails.

Even during this process, some monsters in the dark will choose to leave after seeing that their own kind has not succeeded.

But the forest is too big, monsters are replaced one after another, and battles break out regularly.

An hour later Joey frowned, because of the pattern of the attack he was accurate.

Five minutes, not a single second more, is the time between two monster attacks.

Discover the target, spy on the target secretly, get close to the target, look for flaws, find opportunities, launch an attack, and the attack fails or is killed.

Repeat, repeat, repeat!

Jin raised his hand: "Something's wrong."

The team stopped, and now, counting the attacks that were not counted before, there have been about fourteen or five attacks.

This pattern was not only discovered by time-sensitive people like Joey, but also some slow people in the team also discovered the problem.

The sky was still covered with dark clouds and thunder and lightning.

The water below was still raging and there was no place to stay.

In the forest, it was the same as before. Apart from monsters, there were no other existences.

The traces left by Pyorn that were sent before were not found again, and they seemed to be trapped in a repetitive maze.

"Have the mazes already started to appear before we arrived in the maze city?" Leza was a little surprised.

"Maybe, after all, the path we are on is no longer the path we took before getting some information." Jin said helplessly.

Although the choice of crossing the lake shortened the time they needed to carry out, it also forced them to embark on a road without intelligence support at all.

Of course, even if they didn't choose to cross the lake, they would still face many dangers as they headed towards the labyrinth city.

The Dark Continent is not a static place, and even the rapid changes here have been perfectly displayed before their eyes as early as when they discovered Pappu in the sea of ​​trees.

It is normal for some crises to occur on such an unknown road.

"There should be no problem with the direction." Jin's eyes fell on Jaeger when he spoke. Seeing Jaeger nod, he was even more convinced of this.

"Then keep moving forward, just make some changes when dealing with those monsters." Leza said.

"It has already changed. There is no use in selling flaws or even taking the initiative to attack. There will definitely be new monsters attacking the team when five minutes are up." Joey explained.

In the case of Madoka's release, he can be said to be one of the people who has a very clear grasp of the current situation.

As early as when he discovered the pattern, he even made an attempt. No matter whether he used the first bomb to kill the target quietly after discovering the target, or whether Yi Mi deliberately exposed flaws to guide the target to attack in advance, nothing could stop him. When the five-minute time comes, a monster will jump out of the tree and attack them.

It's like the monster is programmed to attack when the time comes.

If it were simply like this, it would actually be nothing.

The most critical thing is that after the number of such attacks gradually increased, the number of monsters attacking at the five-minute node also began to change.

From the first one, now four will jump out of the tree at the same time.

It seemed like every three regular occurrences, one more monster would attack them.

They can still deal with three or five monsters calmly, but what if the number continues to increase and dozens of monsters attack together? Or an attack by hundreds of monsters?

Not to mention that there are not so many monsters hidden in the forest, you must know that this is a dark continent, and they are not facing existences that cannot read.

This possibility absolutely exists.

"We need to find out the crux of the problem and eradicate it, otherwise we will become very passive." Yi Mi said in a rare voice.

He has tried many methods, but none of them can break this pattern.

Joey is also a little helpless about the current situation.

The targets of attacks by monsters that suddenly appear are not fixed. They are randomly selected. When the time reaches the five-minute mark, they will appear from nearby trees and pounce on the person closest to them.

"Try cutting down the trees?" Leza proposed the simplest method.

Since the target is to suddenly appear from the tree, then cut down the trees and see where the monsters with nowhere to hide will appear from when the time is up.

With no other option, Jin adopted Leza's suggestion.

So everyone began to attack nearby trees and inserted the chopped trees into the water below like wooden stakes.

Trees fell into the water one after another, forming a foothold. There was no way to determine the specific range where the monster appeared, but judging from the distance from the attacker when the monster jumped out, the distance should not exceed ten meters.

Everyone enlarged this distance to thirty meters.

With one minute left before the five-minute mark, everyone was already standing on a pile of wood in the water.

The area was completely bare, with no monsters or trees.

Only the rain from the sky kept washing down, and the accumulated water on the ground kept hitting the wooden piles.

As the time approached, everyone couldn't help but become more focused.

When five minutes were up, five figures appeared above everyone's heads out of thin air, and fell straight down, falling into the water with a plop.

The struggling monster was quickly washed away by the current, but the expressions of everyone on the wooden pile sank.

If this situation had not occurred, the discovery of regular patterns might still be explained by accidents or monster-specific patterns. But now that monsters are born out of thin air, it makes people understand that things are not simple.

If it cannot be solved, whether they can safely get out of the forest may become a problem.

"A lot weaker." Liszt suddenly said as he squatted on the tree stump and carefully observed the monster washed away by the water.

"Indeed." It was Hisoka who answered him.

"It's about energy." Jin Ye said, touching his chin.

"If that's the case, the threat doesn't seem to be as big as imagined." Joey thought for a moment and said.

The situation of the monster reminded Joey of the insect maker he encountered on the Dark Continent, who also had the means to create a large number of clones to attack.

It's just that in comparison, the ones created by the other party are weaker and more numerous.

Today's opponents have turned quantity into quality. If they can attack the target, they will naturally be stronger.

But the opponent chose quantity in the continuous attack. The increase in quantity naturally reduced the quality. If the final quantity reached an inestimable level but the quality was only the level of a bug, even if it was more, it would not pose a threat to them at all.

"Continue on your way?" Leza asked.

"Well, but it's best to find out the reason for this, otherwise it will be a problem if there are more than one existence that can create this law." Jin concluded.

As he continued to move forward, Joey thought of a question.

If the insect makers were attracted by the chirping of birds when they launched their attacks, then what was the reason for these monsters’ attacks?

He raised his hand and let the rain fall on his fingers without using his thoughts to drive it away. The cold feeling made him more awake.

Could it be this torrential rain?
