Chapter 158: Brained insects

"Hahahaha!" The guy actually laughed wildly. "Newbie Village? Do you think it's scary? I'm only level 180 left now. What's the difference between returning to the Newbie Village or not?"

In fact, it is normal for this guy to get angry. "Zero" is a game with a level cap of one thousand. The biggest difference between the previous games with only a level of forty or a level cap of one hundred is that its level is actually set quite loosely. As long as you know the correct method of the previous level 200, a master can even complete this process within three days, and it is still the premise that no one is leading it. If there is a master to guide you to upgrade, just plan everything, then step on the spot to do the task and practice a level along the way, then just 24 hours of continuous separation will be enough to upgrade to level 200. The reason why I upgraded slowly when I first entered the game was because everyone didn't know the game at that time

, you have to explore everything yourself, and the realism of "Zero" is too high. Many people have been in vain for more than ten hours just by feeling the game environment when they first come in. Now that the game has been operating for so long, everyone has used the environment and other things, and the best route to do tasks has been found by boring players. Doing tasks in a chain of tasks in succession under these tasks ensures that you upgrade quickly. Of course, this speed only includes level 200 before. After level 200, most of the tasks taken by players are non-fixed tasks. Generally, the system temporarily generates tasks for each player. If you take it, others will not be able to receive them, so there is no way to talk about the clues of the task.

It is because the upgrade before level 200 became so simple that this guy didn't care whether I killed him back to the novice village. Moreover, he has been greatly stimulated after falling out so many levels at once. He has the meaning of throwing apart the jar. Naturally, he has no reaction to my threat.

After knowing that this guy would not be threatened by me, I didn't plan to waste time on him. I turned on the PK mode again and slapped him to the ground with a palm. Then Rose threw another light bullet at the white soul that had just gotten up on the ground with some anger, and even the white soul disappeared.

In "Zero", the player's death will not go back to the city and resurrect directly like in the ordinary game, but will first transform a soul. This soul can decide whether to teleport back to the city without returning to the city, and will not be resurrected immediately after returning to the city. Instead, it will go to the Resurrection Hall to find the Resurrection Mage. The resurrection mage can be resurrected after using the resurrection technique on the player's soul, but this process also has the possibility of failure. If the spell is successful, the player will resurrect and drop one level after the spell is completed. If it fails, then it will still be resurrected, but the player will drop two levels. In this process, the skill level of the resurrection mage has the greatest impact on the resurrection success rate. Generally speaking, the basic resurrection success rate of the npc resurrection mage is relatively high. The success rate of the low-level npc resurrection mage is generally around 50%, and the advanced one can reach 80% to 90%, while the initial success rate of the resurrection mage profession among players is only less than 30%, but in the end, you can practice until infinitely close to 100%.

Rose itself is the resurrection mage profession, which means she actually uses resurrection magic, but just now she used another spell - punishment. This spell is only effective for the soul after the player's death, and it will not take effect directly on the living person. Once hit by this spell, the player will immediately drop two levels, and the failure rate will increase by 20% next time he is resurrected. In other words, you will pay at least level three for this death by this spell, and it is very likely that you will drop four levels directly.

After leaving the place where this player is, I immediately opened the insect hole on my body, and countless ghost beetles swarmed out of the insect hole. I now need scouts and must confirm whether any insects have left in the previous period. If there are really people who run away, they must be intercepted. It is nothing to do with the defense line composed of masters like we used to block the insects. Once these guys run into the middle of ordinary players, it will be a disaster.

When my beetles searched for nearby areas, I was not idle, but searched for bones everywhere in the forest. As a senior strong man in the evil system, I am very good at communicating with the undead. Although that guy refused to cooperate just now, there may not be only one dead person nearby. As long as you find the corpse of other players or the souls of some NPC creatures, you can help me confirm the situation in the nearby area for a period of time.

Hard work pays off. After more than ten minutes of wandering around, I finally found a human skeleton in a pile of grass. This is the corpse after a player dies. After the player is resurrected, the corpse will be temporarily granted to the soul by the system until the corpse is completely refreshed. Of course, some undead gathering places have the ability to transform corpses, so in that place the corpse of the player will not be wiped out, but will turn into zombies and wander around. This forest is obviously not a place for the undead gathering, and this corpse is almost at the edge of refreshing, thanks to what I discovered in time.

After briefly communicating with this corpse, we confirmed that there were indeed several bugs that did not participate in the bite of the player and left early. According to the description of the soul temporarily given to the corpse, there should be more than ten or twenty bugs left, and they are all relatively large. The largest of them are long before 1.8 to 1.9 meters, and the smallest one is not small to 1.5 meters. These bugs have basically lost their ability to fly and can only jump forward. And according to the undead, their speed is still very fast.

After asking the whereabouts of the insect, I gave the undead a handful of crystal powder as a reward, and then Rose and I immediately chased after it. Because of the specific direction, I concentrated the search range of the insects into a narrow area. As the search range of the seeds was reduced, the search density naturally increased. Soon the insects were discovered. It turned out that these guys did not escape, but found a big tree and dug a hole under the tree to hide in. Although this matter is strange, it also proves my previous guess. These insects should have evolved into advanced wisdom. Previously, they evacuated actively with other insects, and now they are not in a hurry to escape and find a place to hide. These are all manifestations of wisdom. At least the initial insects definitely did not have this level of intelligence.

My bugs did not pounce on them immediately after discovering the big bugs, but ran back quickly because the big bugs can absorb the experience value of any creature and use it as food to reproduce, so creatures with less than a certain level rushed up to them to increase their strength. But unfortunately, the alertness of these bugs was higher than I thought. Although the ghost beetle ran back in time, it alarmed the bugs, and they quickly emerged from the tree hole and began to escape. However, this time they did something that I admired.

These guys actually fled in all directions instead of gathering together to run in one direction. Fourteen beetles flee in different directions with a fan that was nearly ninety degrees, and Rose and I were only two. Among my demon pets, all the ones suitable for the pursuit were helping the Gun God and the others at the ruins. The summoning objects they carried on were useless at all. I was stunned when I watched more than ten beetles running away separately. Which side should I chase?

Although Rose was a little crazy, she responded much faster than me. "Don't think about it. Start grabbing from the outermost part. If you catch one, then concentrate in the middle. As long as they don't change direction temporarily, we should still hope to catch them all before they leave the forest."

I nodded and jumped out immediately. The bugs in front of me immediately turned left and right when they saw me catching up and tried to delay my speed with the help of the trees. "Hmph, are the trees trying to block me?" I suddenly jumped up, then waved my sword in the air, and a red light instantly swept across a large area of ​​land in front. After stopping for two seconds, the trees within two hundred meters in front of me made a squeaking sound at the same time, and then fell forward together. The dense forest, which was originally all trees, instantly had a messy open space.

If the little bugs in the past would have been in such a place, they would have been in no way. The dense branches and leaves on the fallen trees overlapped on the ground after falling to the ground to form a thick isolation layer. Under this isolation layer, there are gaps of large and small. If the little bugs in the past could have been drilled around in these gaps, but the bugs are now too big. The fallen trees not only cannot provide cover for them, but instead make the bugs that have lost their ability to fly due to their size become difficult.

"Where are you going to run?" I swung the Eternal Sword forward with force, and the sword body in the form of a whip sword was instantly disconnected and swept away a huge arc. When the tip of the sword swept the insects immediately turned into a big cage and put them in.

After catching a bug, I fixed it with the fixer I carried on, and then quickly changed direction to chase the next one. Due to previous experience, Rose and I were both very fast, and soon we met together.

"Is this the last one?" Rose said, looking at the worm running in front of her.

I looked up and looked ahead. Although I couldn't see it for the time being, the roar in my ears told me that we were almost at the edge of the forest. When we came before, the logging teams of our guild were cutting trees outside the forest. What I heard now was the sound of our guild's large logger. Being able to hear this sound means that we are not far from the crowd. If the bug in front of us rushed into the crowd, it would be troublesome. "Let the big move."
