Chapter 282 Prologue to the End of the War (33)

The monsters of the first and second energy levels are common threats on this land, and they don't have any unique names.

But starting from the third energy level, even monsters will have the same wisdom as humans or even far surpass ordinary people-they will also begin to learn what practice is, how to temper their skills, and how to devour those that are beneficial to them. The magical beasts, absorb the power they need to advance.

The monsters of this energy level are called big monsters, beast kings and ritual masters. They will have their own names, lairs, and even their own legends.

And the monsters of the fourth energy level are enough to be called "Titans", which means those giants and giant beasts that once ruled the world before the distant history.

In a sense, these behemoths have begun to approach the realm of demigods.

As a brain devourer with interconnected psychic network, whether it is Master Gosser, Isengard or Ian, it is very clear that this parasitic monster has the potential of the third energy level, and it is very likely that it can advance to the fourth energy level. class.

Especially for Yisen, the light-eroding dragon is also similar to the bloodline inheritance of the fourth energy level, and the brain-eating insect can even bring complements to the light-eroding dragon, which is enough to prove its potential.

If we don't take action to contain it now, what kind of monsters the brain-eating worms will turn into after entering the outer ecological circle is something that is unclear.

After using riddles to prevaricate Master Gesai and modifying the alchemy base, the boy hung the gun barrel and the alchemy base that were about the same height as himself behind him, looking like a swordsman with a great sword going to hunt dragons.

It’s just that the Dragon Hunter Swordsman is carrying a door-panel giant sword, while he is carrying an alchemy cannon barrel—but it’s not a big problem. The dragon slayer in the new era should have changed his weapon mode long ago!
Ian noticed that Isengarde's eyes had been locked on the top of his head, so he asked curiously: "Why, is there anything on my head?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he remembered that there was indeed something on his head—the original fairy Frost Butterfly was still there.

Because it is a creature made of ice crystals and psionic energy, it has no weight at all, and it is difficult to detect its existence.

"Is it going to follow you like this?"

Isengard's tone was a little subtle, as if he was talking about his own experience back then: "But this kind of primitive goblin, once you leave the environment you are familiar with, it will perish very quickly..."

"I don't know too well, maybe they regard me as a big goblin."

Ian shook his head, and he didn't quite understand why the other party would follow him.

Goblins are a very strange race. They are natural elves and have no relationship with parents or relatives. Little goblins will naturally follow big goblins, just like the breeze blows in the direction of a strong wind.

If I have to say it, goblins are actually a reincarnation species that is constantly self-incarnated and self-destroyed. After death, the spiritual nucleus is processed by the core of goblin gathering places such as 'Fairy Township' to give birth to new goblins.

But the original goblin has no spiritual core, and it will die as it arises. It has no self-will, nor can it be called a complete life. It can only be regarded as a living snowflake, a breeze that can laugh.

However, the original goblin who chose to follow Ian already has "inclinations and preferences". In a sense, it should be the kind that has begun to evolve towards a real goblin. The scattered water source quality is enough for the opponent to survive.

——When I went out this time, I really picked up a lot of 'little' guys.

Thinking of this, Ian couldn't help but look at the shark who was doing belly-rolling backstroke to promote digestion. If the shark didn't move, it would definitely make people feel that he burped after eating something bad.

His mood became as subtle as Isengard's: "I know what ironclad sharks eat, but what do goblins eat? It's no problem to survive, but goblins should also eat, right?"

Since Master Gosser is going to act together with Ian, Isengard has to follow along - Patrick still needs his blood to solve the costume.

In this regard, Qingchao also expressed that he would follow Ian, but was rejected.

"You can not."

Looking at the sea-born swordsman who offered his allegiance to him, Ian nodded, but refused in his mouth: "Except for Master Gesai and me, you are the strongest in the team—so you have to lead them to live come down."

"The map is here. I have marked the location and route. When the time is about to come, the door will open."

The pirate captain who followed Ian wanted to show that he was not bad and could lead everyone to survive... But as a captive of a young man who knew too many secrets, he knew very well that it was basically impossible for him to have the opportunity to act alone , so I can only shake my head dejectedly.

As for the 'time' Ian mentioned, to put it bluntly, he remotely opened the door of the central control room of the base, and through the silver chip, he could observe the team's progress at any time.

"……I see."

Although regrettable, Qing Chao did not refute Ian's decision.

He nodded seriously: "After sending them out, if I haven't waited for you, sir, I will come back to meet you."

The young man was a little helpless, if Shasha and Shuangdie were the little ones he picked up, then this is the big one he picked up.

He was actually a little distressed about how to pay the other party's salary.

Qingchao is young and has potential. If he wants to earn two or three hundred talers, he can earn it in about a month if he completes one or two missions.

Just like this big task, the basic salary given by the Platinum Iridium Workshop is 380 Thalers, and all kinds of bonus performance and subsidies are not counted.

Of course, this mission is not normal, the premium is doubled, and the time period is relatively long. Tasks, how many can still earn more than 1000 to 2000 Thaler.

Just counting the consumption of weapons, food supplements and possible dangers, it is not particularly profitable.

Ian shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Things have come to this point, it's not always a bad thing.

Qing Chao led the team and walked towards the 'exit of the maze' according to the route map Ian planned for them.

Although this road is tortuous, there will be no magical beast lairs, and there will be no waters where there may be parasites. Generally speaking, it is a fairly safe route.

And Ian, Isengard, Master Gosser, Andor, and Shasha are the team that stayed behind to clear the brain-eating worm nest.

Ian led the crowd towards the upper reaches of the river, and the water vapor became heavier as they went up, until the surrounding area was covered with white mist.

But unlike the road that Isengard and the others found themselves, the side of the river that Ian took along has very obvious man-made traces, stone fences and blind paths, and it should have been a scenic road for employees of Sequoia Base thousands of years ago. .

"Leaving aside the strength of the insect nest, there are definitely a large number of parasitic monsters gathering there."

Master Gesai was very curious about the reason why these railings and roads are immortal for thousands of years. After he lowered his head and touched them, he discovered that there was a thin layer of hard film on the surface of these man-made buildings, which isolated all external influences.

Straightening up, he continued to say to Ian, "No matter how many monsters there are, we can handle them, but then we will definitely have no chance to destroy the nest itself."

"Come on, you must have plans."

"It's very simple, the people from Flameland will lead the charge for us." Ian said firmly, he obviously had already thought about the next battle process: "The insect nest is located at the cooling interface, absorbing the heat source there as the energy for its own growth, The people of Flaming Land will soon be attacked by monsters mobilized by the insect nest when they arrive at the surrounding areas."

"Their strength is not weak, especially the head captain and the nuns of the Spiritual Equipment Church give me an extremely dangerous feeling. They must have a hole card, and they will not be easily taken down by the insect nest."

"At least, it should be able to hold back most of the parasitic beasts and attract firepower for us."

at the same time.

A violent explosion sounded from the bottom of the ruins, causing everyone to raise their heads.

"It seems that the battle has already begun." Ian smiled slightly, and then walked forward first: "I hope they can last longer."

"It's time to go, everyone."
