Chapter 45 Hunting

A few "beep" sounds, the second light curtain lit up. Only then did the three of them realize that Wei cleverly divided the display area into three pieces. Now the first two parts have shown three-dimensional images, and only the third part is still pitch black.

"Here..." Shuer pointed to the location where nothing was shown, "Are there no images? There was no other side of the Allies?"

"yes."

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

"Hey? These two people look so familiar?" Moria pulled Suff to squat on the ground together, supporting her chin with both hands, and her clear big eyes were full of curiosity, staring at a corner of the first area. "They look so stupid when they sneak up."

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

Looking down from a high altitude, the huge hole looks not as big as a fist. Cuckold beetles are surrounded in groups, and the insects are next to each other, layer by layer, surrounding the holes with airtight. The number of insects is extremely large. Even if they are arranged so densely, they still occupy a range of nearly one square kilometer. Even if they are reduced by dozens of times, they almost occupy all the field of view.

It feels very exaggerated to look in the projection. It is hard to imagine that if I were in the center of the swarm, I would have seen such a spectacular scene. I am afraid that it would be among a million troops. This is not the case.

It is indeed a million troops, and the number of insects is estimated to be close to one million. There are so many insects, staring at the nest of the mutant spider mother, and the pressure brought by them is never easy. However, there is no movement on the mutant spider side, and it is still guarding the cave as always, just like the million insect swarm outside the door is just one million sculptures.

After a day, there were no more insect swarms to reinforce one after another. Shuer suspected that it was not that there were no follow-up troops, but that the space was already full, and more troops were just wasted. At this time, the battle had not started, and the insect swarm was just guarding the entrance of the cave. At this time, the order of the insect swarm could be revealed. It seemed that the millions of insect swarms had been guarding for a long time. If it were a group of ordinary humans, they would have been impatient for a long time. However, although the insects were running back and forth in a small range, their formation had not changed. The iron-like order was no less than the elite troops after Pavatiga's training.

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

Spiders are one of the most patient creatures. Their close relatives can stay in the center of the net for several days, waiting for their prey to fall into the net. Even this group of special spiders, which use group of people to hunt as their main means of foraging can lurk in disguise for dozens of hours.

Therefore, the little spiders were lying on the spider web as if they were asleep. Their number increased a lot. About a hundred little spiders had guarded the entrance of the cave, almost filling the entire spider web, which made people creepy. Coincidentally, just as the three people were observing, dozens of little spiders emerged from the cave and took over the work of their brothers and sisters. The guards who were originally lying on the Internet lined up in a row and sank into the depths of the cave.

The original offensive and defensive battle turned into confrontation, which was not good news for the mercenaries. If there was a front-line opportunity to lead the large army to rush into the separation point, if you were lucky, you could save some ordinary people. But now it was calm and a little movement would attract the attention of both sides. No matter how good the luck was, it would not be possible to rush in. But on the other hand, for two mercenaries with missions, calmness may not be a good thing.

In the image, Mia and Dak hid in a very inconspicuous corner outside the swarm, hiding behind several stones. The experienced two people had already covered up the smell of their bodies with medicinal powder, neutralized the heat emitted by their bodies with crystals, stopped breathing from their mouths and noses with breathing agents, and even their heartbeat was suppressed to a minimum with energy. It can be said that any factors that may expose themselves have been eliminated.

Because they are facing a terrible swarm of insects.

I have to say that what Moria said makes sense. The two of them were cautious when lurking, and they looked very professional from the perspective of their teammates. However, from the perspective of a third-party looking down, they looked around but were not very smart. The tiptoe movements were indeed stupid, but judging from the gains behind them, the effect was pretty good.

For today's mission, the two brought backpacks with five times the space and five times the space of the backpack. There was no problem with putting one or two people's corpses. Except for the particularly exaggerated body shapes, such as those beetles with fangs, most of them can be loaded. Now, there are already several large backpacks behind the two, obviously, with a lot of gains left, and only one is left empty. They seem to be planning to pack their backs and come back because they have already locked in another target.

It was a bug with a shape similar to a spider. It had five extra-slim legs and a pair of long and strong cherous limbs. It also had a round body, but it did not have a huge abdomen like a spider. This bug was quick and flexible, but strangely, except for its sharp legs and cherous branches, it had no aggressive parts, and it could not even see the mouthparts. It was really impossible to understand why the bug that could not see the aggressive ones appeared on the battlefield, and it was on the outside of the battlefield.

But why is no longer important, at least it is no longer important for bugs that are about to become trophy. The two experienced hunters are ready to hunt.

A large pit was dug behind the stone that was enough for the two of them to fit in. A magic array was engraved around the pit. Once activated, a thick layer of soil would form, sealing the two in the pit, making it impossible for the insects to discover. Of course, it has not been activated yet, and the two were carefully poking their heads out. Mia had guided the magic, and Dak was ready to cooperate, just waiting for the prey to reveal its flaws.

The strange bugs were a little lively, crawling around, and their claws were digging a few pits on the ground from time to time, as if they were going to bury themselves in the soil. However, this last step was never taken into action. After digging one pit, they crawled to another place and continued digging another.

The bug in self-entertainment did not know that its wandering behavior sent itself to the god of death.

"action."

This is the closest position to Mia and Dark on the bug's path, and it is also the hunting place that the two had prepared for a long time. When the bug sets onto the predetermined position, the hunting began.

Everything happened in a flash.

Mia pointed forward, and the temperature around the insect dropped rapidly. In a few seconds, it was frozen all vital signs without even a freezing process. The muscles in the body crystallized at the same time, and a layer of ice crystals was also covered with outside the body. Then, the insect that was still running around was frozen in a thick piece of ice. Before he could even react to what had happened, he had lost consciousness and life.

This was exactly what Shuer asked in advance. He would rather go home empty-handed than be discovered by the insects. Including when hunting, the prey should die in the shortest time, and he would not know who the enemy was until he died. Although the reason was not explained clearly, Mia could probably guess what Shuer was worried about. There was a spiritual connection between the insects, and the queen could directly command the insects through spiritual connections. This was not an unreasonable guess. There was indeed such a possibility, so Mia was also very careful in her actions to ensure her concealment.

While the insects were frozen into ice, Dak's assistance had arrived. The blood-colored rose turned into a long whip, crossing more than twenty meters of distance, rolled the ice at the moment of freezing, and pulled the ice into the cave like lightning. The next moment, the magic circle activated, the earth wall sealed the hole, and the ground returned to level, as if nothing had happened.

Outside the entrance of the cave, the insect swarm had almost no response, only the closest insect seemed to have sensed it. After turning around for a while, a few of them wandered above the two of them and turned around for a few times before returning to the team. If the insects had intelligence and expressions, then their expressions must be at a loss now. No one knows what had just happened. As for the missing one, there were dozens of millions of insects here, one or two missing ones, I'm afraid even the queen of the insects would not notice it.

"Tsk, these two have done a good job." Although they have not found a way to solve the problem of getting out of the way, there is no anxiety on their faces. There is a saying in the Jade Empire, which has launched the most wars in the chaotic era, that war is like a rope, half of the rope is your understanding of the enemy, and the other half is the distance between you and victory. The deeper you understand the enemy, the shorter the distance between victory. This is one of the tactical aphorisms that have been passed down to this day, so the work of the two is still very important, perfectly completed and worthy of praise. However, no matter how praise is, it is better to give up the idea of ​​leaving here, depending on the surrounding situation.

"Wei, another marking location." Xiuer pondered, "It seems to be a fortress?"

"Yes." Sav and Moria couldn't understand Wei's language, but Shuer understood it no longer had any problem. "It used to be a temporary base for the Soul Clan."

"Soul Clan? Is the race that originally belonged to the guardian clan, but eventually gave up its own body and continued for generations in the form of a spiritual body?"

"It's their base."

"How powerful are these ghosts?" asked Shuer, "Compared with us?"

"The overall strength is 57% higher than ours, but the defense capabilities of a single base are only 9% different, and the strength is not much different."

"Better than us." Xiuer knocked on his thigh and said thoughtfully, "but he was still captured by the swarm of insects."
