Chapter 189 Going deep into the mutant ant nest(1/2)
According to the core position of the space recorded in the diary, Lin Chu moved forward all the way.
Unexpectedly, after going around, he returned to the mutant ant's nest.
"Such a coincidence? Could it be that the mutant ant has occupied the core of the space?"
Lin Chu observed the terrain of the entire secret realm from a high altitude and found that the mutant ant's nest was very wide, and the center was located inside a deep pit. It could be vaguely seen that the deep pit should have been a lake.
In addition, the water and food in this secret realm are constantly consumed, which is enough to guess that the mutant ants must have occupied the area at the bottom of the lake when the water source is most scarce.
The core of the space is also located underground in the deep pit bottom of the lake.
It seems that it is necessary to fight this group of giant ants. It is difficult to get the core of the space without destroying or expelling these insects.
"The things are underground, and there is no way to blow up the nest directly. Besides, with the powerful physique of those mutant ants, even if the nest is blown down, they may not be buried to death... In the end, it will only cause trouble for yourself."
Lin Chu touched his chin and thought about how to solve the ant hole below.
Fire attack?
If you are not careful, it is likely to ignite all the dead wood forests nearby. Once this broken forest that is so dry that there is almost no moisture, the fire will definitely spread rapidly to the entire secret realm.
Even if the fire did not burn him to death, he would not want to harvest a ragged secret realm that was left with only burning out of ashes.
"Yinling, report how many ants are there underneath?"
Yinling replied: "Nine hundred and fifty-two, of which 126 are third-level, twenty-seven are third-level peaks, and the rest are second-level peaks... The nest is very deep, and all of them can be detected at present are these, and there is no guarantee that there will be more."
"Didn't Sack say there is a queen of the queen who has a mental power close to the fourth level? Didn't you detect its vital signs?"
"There is no special individual detected...it may be because the nest is too deep, or it may be that the vital signs of the queen ant are not much different from other third-level peak soldier ants. My life detection can only detect one hundred meters underground at most."
Under normal circumstances, Silver Bell's life detection can detect creatures with a range of about one kilometer.
However, it is not easy to penetrate the soil layer, which will block most of the detection accuracy, so you can only go deeper into the ground about 100 meters, and you can't find it even deeper.
"Well, don't consider the queen of the ant for now. Yinling, beware of mental attacks. If I am in a wrong state, use fairy magic to help me resist mental interference, or open a shelter to stay away from this area."
"OK."
After Lin Chu finished speaking, he summoned all the summoning objects except Chi Pig and threw them into the center of the mutant ant nest.
The black ants were alarmed by his summons and crawled out of the dense caves on the ground, gathered their companions, and gathered in the sea of insects.
A group of black ants rushed forward and climbed onto the skeleton troops and the clay stone demons to bite. The counterattacks of the skeletons and the clay stone demons were also extremely powerful, and they continued to eliminate the mutant ants around them without fear of death.
Lin Chu provided long-range support with the Forest Fairy Silver Bell in a high-altitude shelter.
Priority is given to all summoning objects to bet buffs.
Then, it is to wipe out the debuff of the insect swarm that is weakened and damaged, and the bone wall divides the battlefield to avoid being attacked by your summoned objects from both sides. From time to time, it explodes the corpse of mutant ants far away from the summoned objects, and kills a large number of black ants with blood fog.
As usual, Silver Bell brushes various elemental magic and auxiliary magic of the fairy, bombarding it indiscriminately, making it a small mobile turret.
The magic warrior was placed on the edge of the battlefield by Lin Chu, and the pressure was slightly greater. After all, this mecha was his strongest combat power, but it could not be damaged, so Lin Chu would not detonate the nearby insect corpse.
As a group of black ants emerged from the pit, like a black wave, surrounded the magic warriors, climbed up its body from all directions, trying to bite the metal shell, but couldn't even chew it.
I have to say that non-life skeletons, golems, and machinery are really advantageous when fighting with insect swarms.
The size of mutant ants is generally not very large, and there is no way to use hard bones, stones, or even steel to bite the jaws of flesh and blood.
The ordinary second-level peak mutant ant cannot hurt his summons at all, and can only spray for formic acid to interfere with it slightly. The third-level mutant ant also needs more than a dozen to go up together to barely solve a skeleton soldier.
Only those mutant ants at the peak of the third level are more troublesome. A pair of pliers on the jaw can easily clamp a skeleton soldier in half. Only the clay stone demon and the undead apostle can barely compete with it...
Among them, a few flying black ants tried to attack the shelter floating in the sky, but were stopped by Lin Chu and Yinling, while the rest fell and fell in a dizzy way after hitting the nanoprotective net.
The battle was extremely fierce.
Within a moment, the ground was covered with broken corpses of black ants, and the broken skull bones were also spread all over the floor.
Fortunately, the ground is full of materials for resurrection of skeletons, and Lin Chu can replenish his skeleton soldiers at any time, so even if there is a huge gap in number, the skeleton soldiers are still not at a disadvantage!
This is his first battle of attributiveness in such a pure pile of volume...
Unlike in the offensive and defensive battle before, in order to cover up his skills, he had never resurrected the skeleton soldiers on the battlefield, and it was very difficult to fight.
This war of attrition was so pleasant!
Consumption? What consumption can be consumed? Only the enemy is consuming it!
He continued to drink advanced magic potion, and released the corpse explosions frantically. He used the corpses of the third-level peak soldier ant to explode the remaining soldiers on the battlefield, and then cleared them step by step...
[The level of the Necromancer is increased to level 28 and you will get 4 allocable skill points.]
The long-lost thing has been upgraded again.
Everyone! I like these bugs! Please give me more similar bug groups and let me kill them!
[Clay Stone Demon Level 9: Summon a clay Stone Demon with its own magic power as a medium, with a comprehensive combat power of 420 points (Talent ability: earth thorn, stone spear, clay imprisonment, earth escape), summoning without cooling, consumes a certain amount of magic power.]
[Tip: This skill needs to be upgraded to the next level, and the occupation level must reach level 29 or above.]
[Skeleton Mage Resurrection Level 12: Currently, only 14 skeleton Mages can be summoned, with a comprehensive combat power of 260 (+60) points. (The damage of the energy bomb is a third-level advanced attack, randomly summoning ice, fire, poison, and electric.)]
[Tip: This skill needs to be upgraded to the next level, and the occupation level must reach level 29 or above.]
[Skeleton Resurrection Level 22: Currently, only 24 skeleton warriors can be summoned, with a single combat power of 300 (+60) points.]
[Tip: This skill needs to be upgraded to the next level, and the occupation level must reach level 29 or above.]
The three most important summoning objects are definitely upgraded first.
The last skill point is allocated to any skill.
Lin Chu thought for a while and finally focused on the explosion of the corpse that had the highest profit in the team battle.
I have always forgotten to continue adding this skill, mainly because the scope of the single-body and small-scale battle does not require a corpse explosion, and improving this skill cannot increase the power. At present, it can only increase the range.
However, as he encountered more and more group creatures and his strength increased significantly, he was no longer so timid in fighting, so the radius of a level 2 corpse explosion range is a bit too small.
Upgrade the corpse to level 3!
[Corpsy explosion level 3: Detonate the flesh and blood power contained in the corpse with its own magic power. The power depends on the strength of the corpse. The current coverage range is 3 meters in radius. (No cooling, low consumption, range magic damage)]
[Tip: This skill needs to be upgraded to the next level, and the profession level must reach level 25 or above. (This skill can be upgraded to level 10 to finely manipulate the explosion and kill target. The disadvantage is that if you choose a fine operation, you will not be able to kill in a range)]
Lin Chu remembers that it only takes a level 20 to level 3, but it becomes level 25 to level 4.
According to this upgrade rule, if you want to upgrade the corpse explosion to level 10, you will probably get level 30 or level 40 after...
Every increase in the explosion range is a radius of one meter, which is particularly obvious in the battlefield where enemies are densely packed. A corpse explosion can exert greater effects.
The battle between the ant colony and the summoners lasted ten minutes before gradually showing signs of ending.
Lin Chu was always on guard against the mental attack of the queen of the ant, but unexpectedly, no mental attack came until the swarm was about to die.
"Is the queen of the ant dead? Or is it too far from the surface and the mental attack cannot be transmitted?"
Various speculations flashed through his mind, and finally decided to go in and see the situation by himself.
Although mental attacks are troublesome, he does not have any means of resistance.
Whether it is the scroll for mental attacks obtained at auction or the illusion destruction beads obtained from the tower spirit, they can be used at any time.
The ground was covered with wreckage of mutant ants.
Lin Chu picked more than 30 relatively intact third-level mutant ants from it and threw them into the basement of the shelter.
The remaining ten third-level peak mutant ants that had not been detonated by him were taken into storage bags and storage spaces that were more convenient to obtain.
Drive the shelter to the center of the deep pit.
There is a deep pit about twenty meters in diameter in the middle of the deep pit, about the size of a basketball court, pitch black without any light. At first glance, there are many complex cave tunnels on the inner wall of the deep pit.
The main tunnel of the ant nest built by these black ants is extremely large, with the narrowest inside and nearly five meters high, just as wide as a natural cave.
"This ant nest tunnel is a bit surprisingly large compared to the black ant. The third-level peak mutant ant is only two meters tall, so it doesn't use such a large channel at all... Could it be that the tunnel was expanded so large to transport large prey?"
Let the skeleton soldiers explore the way forward.
Lin Chu always opens a nanoprotective net and follows behind.
With the full map detector of Silver Ling, he can easily know how many mutant ants survive underground, and even know their approximate locations, so he doesn't have to worry about suddenly encountering an encounter.
There are less than a hundred mutant ants guarding the nests below the ground, and there is not a single peak in the third level, and there is also a small number of third level.
Anyway, it is no threat to him.
As he turned down the tunnel, several sporadic black ants attacked from time to time, they were easily eliminated by the skeleton soldiers who opened the way.
I don’t know how long I have been moving forward, but it probably extended downwards for nearly 300 meters, and the wide main tunnel finally came to an end.
A huge cave is leading directly in front of the tunnel.
Lin Chu looked up and found that there was a unique world underground in the ant nest.
The extremely wide underground cave is about two or three football fields. The ground is covered with animal bones and insect beard limbs, and the air is filled with indescribable strange smells.
The cave dome is dotted with many fluorescent gravels, sprinkling a faint light, preventing the nest from falling into complete darkness.
In the center of the nest, a huge monster entrenched above the thick bones!
The head and forelimbs are no different from ordinary black ants, but behind the head, it has a fat and huge black body, which is more than five meters wide and more than ten meters long! Its body size is even three or four times larger than the tiger armored giant insect!
