Chapter 9 Archway
After letting Li Song go, the Broken Blade team didn't stay any longer. With the money for selling materials, Shen Yi recruited Frost and the others, and then set off on the road.
According to Shen Yi's plan, before the battle for Nether Valley officially started, he would first lay down at least one black ant nest, and then get a team assembly order - there are never too many good things.
As for the few adventurers they rescued, they ignored them and let them go. The young man named A Feng wanted to follow them, but Shen Yi refused. With his own team members around, he no longer needs help from outsiders.
The Broken Blade team arrived in Ant Hills late that night.
Shen Yi once again came to the high ground that he had observed before, and used the binoculars to gaze down into the distance.
There were originally two large ant nests in the Corridor of Life, but after Shen Yi killed one, there should only be one left. Unexpectedly, in only one month, there are two more small ant nests here, which should have been relocated not long ago.
This made Shen Yi a little disappointed—according to his plan, the ant nest in the corridor of life should have been alone. A single ant nest will lose the ability to call for rescue, and it will be much easier to eliminate.
But judging from the current situation, the target ant nest can still call in reinforcements, which makes the attack a bit troublesome.
Regardless of Shen Yi and his team's soaring strength now, it is still not easy to say that they can easily take down an ant nest.
The main trouble here is the soldier ants.
As the main fighting force in the entire black ant colony, apart from general attacks, each soldier ant has the ability to breathe poisonous stings. The damage of the poisonous sting is 48, causing 3 points of poison damage per second after hitting the target, and the duration is 7 seconds.
This kind of poison effect looks ordinary, but it has a very terrifying characteristic, that is, infinite stacking.
In other words, if one hundred poisonous stingers hit the target at the same time, it will cause 300 points of poisonous damage per second. This damage figure is astonishing. Ordinary healing medicines will not work at all, unless you use seven bottles of instant recovery medicines in a row.
It is precisely because of this characteristic that the black ant nest can be said to be the most terrifying existence in the entire wilderness. Even adventurers with difficulty three must be careful when they come here. When Shen Yi broke into the ant's nest alone, due to the narrow space inside the ant's nest, the soldier ants could not form a group to attack, instead they avoided the threat unintentionally.
Fortunately, each soldier ant can only shoot one stinger per day, and the stinger can be dodged and blocked.
No matter how strong Shen Yi and the others are, even if they have the blood of demon god transformation and the power of purgatory in ten directions, they dare not say that they can easily deal with their opponents under the attack of three ant nests. As long as three hundred soldier ants shoot at King Kong, even if he has three thousand points of life, he can be poisoned to death.
Originally, Shen Yi and the others had a plan to deal with this situation, but now that there are two more ant nests, there are many variables immediately.
Gentle said: "It seems that it is impossible to take down the ant nest in one go. If this is the case, simply attack on a small scale first to consume the target's strength. Let's fight after the Nether Valley incident is over."
Shen Yi sighed: "I hope to get at least one team assembly order before the battle of Nether Valley. In this way, we will also have an extra set of ant suits, which can greatly increase our combat power."
Ban Dongming already knew they were coming, and it was definitely impossible to set up an ambush. Coupled with the possibility of Xie Rongjun appearing, Shen Yi had to make more preparations for the upcoming battle.
King Kong said: "But it will also consume a chance to transform into a demon god."
Although Ten Directions Purgatory can effectively deal with a large number of low-level beasts, the prerequisite for using it is to transform first. The Broken Blade team has to go to the Nether Valley, and a battle with the Storm Team is probably inevitable, not to mention that there are also powerful beasts there, so it is not appropriate to use their cards prematurely.
Shen Yi shook his head: "The transformation of the demon god can be used twice, but there is only one team assembly order. The trip to Nether Valley will not be easy. I don't know when Ban Dongming entered the wilderness. But if he entered after we strengthened Wilderness, then he probably already knew that we have the blood of demon gods,
I fear he will have a countermeasure. On the contrary, it is a team assembly order. He didn't know that we had it before, and even if he knew, he would not have thought that we would have two yuan, which would give us more opportunities. "
As a strategic prop, the team assembly order, although it can't bring Shen Yi an increase in combat power, it allows them to have more chances of immortality.
Since Ban Dongming already knew that the Broken Blade team would come, Shen Yi had to prepare for the worst outcome.
"Then you mean..."
Shen Yi said decisively: "Within two days, no matter what, we must take down this lair. Fortunately, there are only two small lairs next to it, so the variables will not be too big, and everything will go according to the schedule. Zeus, starting tomorrow, will operate Alpha One Prioritize the full-angle shooting of the ant hills, and make a panoramic view of this area first. In addition, from now on, keep an eye on all suspicious targets in the direction of the Nether Valley and the surrounding area. I don't want to encounter any attacks from the rear during the battle .”
—————————
Just after dawn in the morning, Shen Yi heard a rumbling explosion.
Everyone quickly jumped up and took out their weapons, only to find that there were no enemies around.
The sound of the explosion came from afar, and the gunpowder smoke was faintly visible, which was in the direction of the corridor of life.
"Gentleness!" Shen Yi shouted in a low voice.
Rourou has already rushed out, and went to the highest point in front to observe with a telescope: "There are eight people who are attacking a small ant nest. It seems that they have been fighting for a while. Someone used a grenade just now."
"Zeus, didn't I tell you to keep an eye on all suspicious targets around you? Why didn't you report when someone came?" Shen Yi asked in a deep voice, with a little anger in his tone.
He was angry not because someone was the first to strike, but because someone had touched them under their noses, and Zeus didn't report it. After having the satellite, everyone in the Broken Blade team believed that there would be no more surprise attacks, but they didn't expect that there would be a problem on the first night.
What if the grenade hit them on the head?
Zeus replied: "The reconnaissance satellite has insufficient nighttime reconnaissance capabilities, and it is difficult to take into account other areas during the data collection process. It can only be deployed and controlled in key areas, and reconnaissance blind spots are prone to appear."
Zhou Yiyu interrupted: "I know that cheap products are not good."
"Shut up." Shen Yi said unhappily, thought for a while and said: "In the future, we need manpower to supplement defense."
In order to save the identification scroll, Shen Yi had to deprive most of the satellite's functions, which made the satellite's reconnaissance function have a relatively large defect. This is also impossible. To really have a full-angle and high-power reconnaissance satellite, Shen Yi must at least upgrade it to B-level, which will cost a lot.
Gentlely asked: "What should we do now? Someone is ahead of us."
Shen Yi took the telescope and looked at it carefully for a while, muttering: "They are all freshmen, their strength is not bad, no wonder they dare to come here to challenge. This is also good, it is equivalent to sharing part of the pressure for us."
He took out the blacklist to have a look, and then smiled: "There are two people on the list, Zeus, who is going to record the battle situation."
Then he put down the binoculars and said, "Let's go, they hit theirs, we hit ours, well water doesn't violate river water. If they don't mess with us, we won't take advantage of it."
"I feel hanging." King Kong muttered.
Everyone chuckled together.
In this wilderness, killing is much more normal than making friends.
———————————
The eight people at the bottom of the hill challenged a small ant nest. There were about a thousand worker ants and three hundred soldier ants. Not to mention guard ants, there were not even general ants. It was a typical D-grade ant nest.
Even though they were facing a small ant nest, the eight of them were extremely careful when fighting. They were divided into two off-road vehicles, each with an archer and a gunner, and used distance to attack the black ants, mixed with the bombardment of rockets, and played kite-flying tactics. This is also the most common way people deal with powerful targets.
From the perspective of cooperation, the two cars echo each other from a distance, one advances and the other retreats, it seems to be very tacit, obviously not a temporary combination of mobs.
They were playing lively, and an adventurer suddenly called out: "Look, captain!"
A burly bearded man in another car looked back, only to see a group of new adventurers appearing behind him.
At first, his heart tightened, thinking that the other party was going to attack him. Later, they found that the opponent swaggered into the hilly battlefield and went straight forward along the corridor of life, completely turning a blind eye to the battle taking place here.
One of the adventurers holding a knife and an ax glanced at them, and then let out a cold snort of disdain.
"They are..." Another adventurer in the car said to himself.
The adventurer called the boss said in a deep voice: "From the route, it seems that we are going to fight that double C-level giant ant nest."
"No way?" Someone exclaimed.
It was already very difficult for the eight of them to fight the D-level ant nest. There were only six of them, and it was too arrogant to dare to deal with the double C-level ant nest.
Someone snorted coldly: "I think they are looking for death."
More humane: "I guess they are some rookies who don't know how to live or die. Captain, it's not as good as us..."
He made a chopping gesture, which obviously meant to suggest killing people. A D-rank ant nest can never bring more rewards than killing six adventurers.
The captain was cautious, thought for a while and replied: "Wait a minute, wait until they fight and see the opponent's performance. Let's get out of the battle first."
The two cars galloped backward quickly, and soon rushed out of the hilly area.
Zhou Yiyu glanced at the rear view mirror and said with a smile, "Those eight people withdrew from the battle."
King Kong snorted coldly: "As soon as we saw us coming out, we withdrew from the battle. Hmph, it's probably a bad idea."
Shen Yi said leisurely: "Evacuate first, and then turn around to observe the battle behind us. If possible, give us a fatal blow when our battle is the most intense. Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, isn't it a good plan? ?”
Gentle and delicate smile: "I'm afraid that if we make a move, these guys won't dare to make a move."
With the current strength of the Duanblade team, chopping these black ants is now like chopping melons and vegetables.
Among them, Shen Yi and Luo Hao's defense power has reached above 70, and Hong Lang's blood armor can reach this value as long as he kills 30 black ants.
Therefore, except for the poisonous sting of soldier ants, which is a big threat, other attacks have basically lost their effect on them.
If those eight people saw this situation, they would never dare to attack the Broken Blade team.
But Shen Yi didn't intend to do this: "So we need to be humble and give them some courage to fight. I think this is the case. When we fight later, don't be too fierce. Just like them, try to fly a kite Tactics, fight and run, keep distance. Hong Langwen and you should be gentle when you shoot, half of your strength will be enough, and your skills will be used less."
Zhou Yiyu interfaced: "Then they see that our strength is only so good, so they will rush up to cut us back, and then we will give him a big shock, the small universe will explode, and it will logically destroy the other party and collect benefits, isn't that right? Why do I feel like storytelling?"
"That's right!" Shen Yi replied seriously.
Hong Lang grinned: "I like this idea."
King Kong said with a smile: "There are enough pretentious/forceful ones, does this count as wanting to be a bitch and want to set up an archway at the same time?"
Shen Yi drank a glass of red wine, and replied leisurely: "A bitch who doesn't want to set up an archway is not a good bitch, and pretending to be forced occasionally in life can be regarded as a kind of fun."
