Ninety-eighth palm, good luck
After the bone meal collection work is completed, we have basically rested. Thanks to my enough summoned creatures, so when we are resting, some tireless summoned creatures can help us work. If we handle these things ourselves, we will probably not have to move in a few days.
After dealing with the work here, the next thing is to continue to move towards the goal. Most of the process of this process is very simple. Except for the skeleton demons that have just passed, the rest can be said to be very simple. Of course, this simplicity does not come from the difficulty of the task, but from the overall combat level of our side.
As the saying goes, those who are difficult will not, and those who are able to do it will not be difficult. The same is true in combat. I feel that it is difficult because the enemy is beyond your strength range, and because we are all elites among the elites, the troubles encountered in those tasks become very common for us. If we change to a group of people to do this task, I believe that their feelings are absolutely different from ours.
After successfully completing most of the tasks, we finally returned to the ground. By the way, we have been experiencing the tunnel from the Skull Bone Demon, and have just left the tunnel network. When we returned to the ground, we saw not the hot springs of the deceased before, nor the ice field outside the hot springs of the deceased, but the city. A city that was completely beyond imagination.
This is a ruined city that has been abandoned for a long time. We have actually seen several such ruins before, but this time we saw them surprised us, not because of the problem with the ruin itself, but because of the location where it appeared.
We were in the Dead Hot Spring, and the outside of the Dead Hot Spring was an ice field. However, this abandoned city is a desert city. All the buildings in the city are made of large pieces of yellow stones, and the ground is a thick layer of yellow sand. As for the outside of the city... because we are now in the central area of the city, we cannot see the scene outside. But from the sand on the streets in the city, it is estimated that there is a large desert outside. Of course, the most important evidence is actually above the head, the super sun is hanging in the sky ten times the volume under normal conditions, and the heat it emits makes us feel unbearable.
You should know that the equipment of these people is quite awesome artifact-level equipment, and these equipment themselves have constant temperature control. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the impact of extreme climate on us is minimal. However, even with equipment control, we still feel the high temperature around us, which means that the temperature in this place is no longer as simple as heat.
In fact, the temperature at our current location may be quite low, because we are not standing directly under the sun. The location we drilled out from the ground is actually the interior of a building, but the structure of this building is similar to a huge pavilion. Its floor has no walls at all, and only dozens of support columns that are embracing three people to support the top structure. Therefore, our view here is very good, but because there are things covering the top of our heads, the temperature below is actually quite low. If you really want to walk to the direct sunlight area outside, the temperature will be higher.
"What the hell is this?" Zhenhong discovered that the situation here was abnormal as soon as she came out.
Bing Xin, who led the way, said: "Do you remember the crack with unusual light that we passed through before? It was actually a gap in the space fault. We are actually no longer in the hot spring of the deceased."
"No wonder. Why is the temperature so exaggerated?" Jin Qin said in a tone that way, and then suddenly remembered something and asked casually: "Where is this?"
"Vincent." Bing Xin replied immediately.
"Oh." Jin Qin nodded in a clear way, and suddenly reacted and screamed in surprise: "What? Where did you think this is?"
"Vincent." Bing Xin said very normally: "It's the star you can see every morning."
"We jumped from Earth to Venus?" Jin Jin asked in disbelief.
Bing Xin nodded again and said, "It's just that the teleportation distance is a little larger, don't be so surprised, right?"
"Did you call this a little bigger?" Jin Qin opened his mouth for a long time before he recovered.
Christina did not have the exaggerated reaction as gold coins. She asked plainly: "The environment here seems to support our normal activities."
Bing Xin nodded and said, "Yes, the gravity here is the same as the Earth (the game setting is not the case in reality). There is enough oxygen to ensure your normal activities. However, basically, it is still a very harsh environment here. Except for undead creatures and constructed creatures, most conventional creatures cannot survive here."
Rose looked at the sunlight outside and said, "Yes! Such a big sun, even a camel would have to be sunburned to death."
Bing Xin said: "This is one of the environmental threats here. The surface temperature here is 283 degrees, which is absolutely deadly for ordinary creatures. Of course, your equipment is too high, so it is not that exaggerated to isolate most of the heat. However, if you are an ordinary person, you will die within ten seconds of the landmark area here. Also, the 283 degrees I mentioned are the current shadow environment. If you enter the direct sunlight area, the temperature will rise to 830 degrees, which is enough to cook most people. But I know that you can adapt to this temperature, at most it will feel uncomfortable."
It is more than 800 degrees, and this temperature is indeed within our tolerance range. After all, I can stay in the lava for a long time with more than 2,000 degrees. Christina and the others have their own methods, and most of them can support that temperature. Moreover, there is only more than 800 degrees here, and there is still a lot of distance between 2,000 degrees.
Of course, although we will not be hurt at this temperature, we will definitely not last long. At least the battle will be limited, and my magic pet will also be greatly disturbed. It is estimated that only a part of the person who can be summoned, at least it will not appear like Frost and Snow. Her ice and snow body will definitely turn into water in minutes when she arrives here, so this kind of place can only make me summon some of my subordinates. Fortunately, I have many magic pets, and some of them are not afraid of heat.
Bing Xin seemed to think that the situation here was not bad enough. He continued: "In addition to the high temperature, there are several things to pay attention to. First, the atmosphere of Venus is very simple and is very close to the sun, so we need to face super strong radiation. Although this city is abandoned, the radiation shield is still working, so the city has zero radiation, but it is not possible to go out. Therefore, I suggest that everyone start the screen spell before leaving the city. As for warriors, they must bring their helmets and masks in advance."
"High temperature, radiation. You can tell me what dangerous things there are in this place!" Jinzi said.
Bing Xin originally planned to explain it to us first, so he naturally continued: "In addition to these, there is also need to pay attention to sandstorms. Because it is too close to the sun, the heat inequality caused by thermal radiation causes a strong air pressure difference. In addition, there are no forests or peaks on the surface of Venus to slow down the wind speed, so the storm here is very terrible. Typhoons on the earth can only be considered a storm here. Here, winds above level 20 are called winds, and even if there is a super typhoon of more than 30 levels, it is not impossible. In this strong wind, sand and gravel are wrapped around and move at high speed, forming a sandstorm. Once they enter the sandstorm, it will be like someone rubbing your whole body with sandpaper. At this time, you need to test your defense ability. This is also why Ioriges and I are both super high defense types, because here. People with too low defense will definitely not survive."
"Okay, high temperatures, radiation, super dust storms, what else?"
"Bio threat is also a disaster here. Although the surface temperature and strong radiation make the environment here extremely bad, it has nurtured some unique creatures. There are two common creatures, one is a crustacean creature called sand scorpion, and the other is a mollusk called sandworm. The sand scorpion looks like a gene mixture of scorpions and spiders. It is poisonous, but it is agile. It likes to ambush under the sand and then suddenly jump out to attack passing creatures. As for sand scorpions, it is a monster that can also be seen on the earth. They are very similar to earthworms, but their heads can be opened and have six rings of teeth like crushers. It will not be easy to swallow anything. Moreover, when sand scorpions attack people, they suddenly jump out from under your feet to swallow you in one bite. Therefore, it is very difficult to hide."
"Okay, now there is another big bug, this place is simply purgatory!" Jin Coin sighed.
Bing Xin said: "No, Purgatory is much better than here. Oh, by the way, there is another most important point that you need to remind you, that is, you must always pay attention to the sky eye."
"What is the Sky Eye?"
"The sky eye is actually a small burst of energy on the sun, but this burst will form a beam of directional energy radiation. Its power is so great that we can't bear it, so we must avoid it. Don't think about fighting head-on. You may not be able to stop it. However, this is easier to avoid. When it appears, a bright beam of light will be projected from the sky. As long as you avoid it, it will be fine. The movement speed of that beam of light is not too fast, but sometimes it appears suddenly and is very annoying. The others basically do not constitute any problem."
"I suddenly felt like we were cheated," said Christina.
"The master will not lie." Aioriggs suddenly interrupted.
"Okay, there is a crazy believer here." Jin Qin glanced at Aioriguez, and then asked again: "Then Bing Xin, you can tell us the final mission goal now, right? The route you told us before will be gone here, what about the rest?"
"The rest is in the vast desert outside, but the location is uncertain."
"What the hell are we looking for?" Zhenhong asked.
Bing Xin looked at Ao Riggs, and Ao Riggs immediately spoke, "A crystal core of a local creature."
"What kind of creature?"
"A creature similar to a earth dragon, a sub-dragon beast that is good at moving under or on the surface of the sand. The crystal core is in the head of this thing, and you can get it by prying open their heads."
"Okay, at least we know that our goals are not difficult."
We all have several giant dragons, so it is naturally not too difficult to deal with. After all, the mixed-blood descendant of the dragon clan, the sub-dragon beast, has never fought to the level of a giant dragon. Of course, there are also particularly powerful ones, but that is an individual phenomenon caused by individual differences. It is not a group characteristic.
Aioriguez explained our target in detail. This creature has no name because few people come into contact with this kind of thing, so naturally no one thought of giving them names. But in general, according to Aioriguez's description, the things we remember are basically large lizards. According to Aioriguez, these guys are generally about fifteen meters long, and they are basically the length of two buses. Of course, this guy is not as thick as the bus. After all, it is a creature, and it is a sub-dragon, so it has a tail and a neck.
This guy's tail and neck are not too long. Of course, this is according to the standards of dragons. Their body is similar to the middle form of crocodiles and lizards. They are thicker than crocodiles and are more suitable for walking on the ground. Their tail and head are very dangerous. The huge tail has powerful power and can easily slap rocks weighing more than ten tons, and their teeth are also known as the same level as dragon teeth. Combined with their huge bite muscles, they can easily output more than 2,500 tons of pressure between the upper and lower jaws. When this pressure acts on the tip of a small tooth, it is really like biting steel plates and eating crisp noodles.
Of course, as a sub-dragon, it is impossible to escape with thick skin. This creature has a high defense power and can even be immune to some spells. Unfortunately, all spells below level three are ineffective against them, so Christina's rainbow jet loses its meaning, because the magic bullets used by the rainbow jet are all level zero spells. Fortunately, Christina is not the kind of mage who only knows one kind of magic. Even without the rainbow jet, it is not a part-time artillery position, but it is still okay to act as a train cannon when using large magic.
After understanding this information, we began to re-plan the task.
According to the description of Aioriguez and Bing Xin, we actually have more than one target creature, on the contrary, there are quite a few of these things. However, because these things are very cunning, it is very difficult to kill them. The most important thing is that the environment on Venus is already very harsh. Compared with the threats caused by sub-dragon beasts, environmental threats are actually the biggest trouble in the mission.
Whether our mission can be completed smoothly has a lot to do with our luck. If we are lucky, we can find these things as soon as we get started. Then we can kill one and leave quickly, but if we are not lucky, it may take a long time to look for it. Moreover, we only know now that Ao Riggs and Bing Xin can basically only exert part of their combat power in this place. Bing Xin is better, and can exert 80% of his combat power, but Ao Riggs is in trouble. He only has about 10% of his combat power here, and the reason is the big sun above our heads. The radiation energy of this thing is positive energy, and both Bing Xin and Ao Riggs rely on negative energy to move, so they will have situations like leakage here. The strength will naturally drop significantly, and if it takes too long, there may be problems in their lives.
In fact, the situation between Ao Riggs and Bing Xin is only a normal situation in the hot springs of the deceased, because the undead creatures don’t like the sun. The reason why the evil god led his team to do this task was that the subordinates he could find were all undead creatures, so in this environment that was born to restrain them, most of the combat power was directly removed. If they could complete the task, they would be a bit awesome.
Bing Xin and Ao Riggs are actually pretty good. Some undead creatures can't stay here for a minute. At least Bing Xin and Ao Riggs can still go out to move in the sun, which is already a blessing.
Because these two guides became a burden here, we had to separate people to protect them specifically. Fortunately, Bing Xin still has at least 80% of his combat power, while Ao Riggs basically became a disabled person. His abilities were suppressed here so much.
Although the guide was basically useless, we could not ignore the contact person of the evil god, so we could only take them away. It was okay in the city just now, but after we came out, we finally learned what the environment was harsh. We couldn't feel it in the city before, but after we came out, we found that the so-called radiation shield actually isolated part of the sunlight. After we came out, we felt that the sunlight here had more than doubled in an instant. Even through the eyepiece, we still felt that the sunlight was extremely strong, and the reflection on the ground was even a little dazzling.
In addition to the light, we also learned about the radiation here, because we started to lose blood from the beginning of leaving the city. The speed was very slow, and it was not even as fast as our own blood recovery speed, but it was indeed constantly reducing blood. This was not a pleasant thing. Fortunately, although the radiation and sunlight both allowed us to understand some of the terrible aspects of this planet. Fortunately, the most terrifying sandstorm did not appear, otherwise we would probably suffer again.
Although the evil gods and the others had not completed the task before, they had at least studied the routes and other aspects. For example, this time we actually knew the range of activities of those target creatures, so the goals were quite clear, which is why we needed a guide.
I don’t know if it’s because we are really lucky. Apart from the sun being too vicious along the way, the pests, sandstorms and sun outbreaks mentioned by Bing Xin did not happen, at least we did not encounter them. And after we just reached the range of the target creature that the evil gods and the others had explored clearly, we actually saw that creature at first sight, and two appeared at once.
"Damn, are you so lucky today?" Hiding far behind a sand dune, we found that the two target creatures in front were fighting. Moreover, the tail of one of them had been bitten off, and the sand behind him was covered with blood. It seemed that the outcome should be decided soon. This standard scene of the fisherman fighting against snipes and clams made us sigh for a long time, after all, this luck was really good. According to Eurigues, the evil god led the team here in person before, and the first time he encountered a sandstorm, and the whole army was wiped out. Then he went back three people, one of them was the evil god himself. The second time he encountered the sun burst out halfway. The sun broke out halfway.
One-third of the people were burned to death, and the rest could not withstand the pressure and started to escape, and the team collapsed. When they went there the third time, they did not encounter any danger, but the problem was that no target creature was encountered. The evil gods and the others were exhausted and had to return. As a result, all three actions failed. After that, the evil god organized more than ten tasks, and each time they had to die some people, which made no one dared to go with him when the evil god said he wanted to find that kind of crystal core. This is one of the reasons why the evil gods looked for us. After all, he had already lost the opportunity to challenge.
In this case, the evil god's previous behavior was much easier to understand. He was so polite to us. He made such a big concession, not because he became a serious businessman, but because the guy really had no choice. He was helpless in compromise, not because this guy voluntarily.
After learning about these things, we asked what the crystal core of that kind of creature is used for, but this time Ao Riggs developed his own stubbornness. He insisted that Lord Evil God said it and refused to say it, so he refused to say it. As for Bing Xin... she actually didn't know what this thing can do. Anyway, she knew that the Evil God wanted this thing very much and lost a lot of people for it, but she just couldn't get it.
We don't have to ask about this situation anymore. Anyway, guys like Aioriguez will never be able to ask anything. As for those crystal cores... Rose and I seemed to squeeze our eyes and discussed it for a while to get one more back. If the situation is good, we would even get a few more back. Anyway, since this thing is useful, it will not be wasted. Of course, this is also a gambling for us, because there is also a very small possibility that this thing is indeed only useful to the evil gods. However, this possibility is very small, and the reason is what Aioriguez revealed before.
Aioriguez is stupid and can't lie, so when we asked him what the crystal core of that kind of creature could do, he directly answered us that the evil god told him that he could not tell others, so he didn't tell us. On the surface, Aioriguez just told us that the evil god had issued a ban order, but in fact there was still a lot of information here, and the most important one was that this crystal core was most likely very useful, because if this thing was really something that was only useful to the evil god and was useless if others wanted it, then why did the evil god keep Aioriguez confidential? So, I think this crystal core must be of great use, otherwise it would definitely not be kept confidential.
Because I planned to get a few more crystal nuclei of this creature, after seeing the two creatures fighting, I secretly did some tricks while Ao Riggs was focusing all his attention on the two creatures.
A hidden space door opened under the sand surface, and then the Trail Blazers slid into the sand silently. Although the sand temperature here is very high, the Trail Blazers are hell creatures, and there is a lot of lava there. If the Trail Blazers can adapt to that environment, this temperature is naturally no problem.
After the Trail Blazers left, a larger figure followed and slid into the bottom of the sand dune. This is my Black Flame. Although Black Flame is also a negative energy creature, the biggest difference between him and ordinary negative energy creatures is that Black Flame has the ability to isolate the flow of positive and negative energy, that is, although Black Flame is a negative energy creature, he is not afraid of positive energy. Moreover, because he mastered the energy conversion technology, Black Flame can even convert positive energy appropriately as its energy source.
After the Black Flame drilled under the sand surface, the dune we were hiding obviously settled down a lot. Of course, Ao Riggs and Bing Xin both noticed the abnormal fluctuations in the sand surface, but because the Black Flame did not show up, they just thought that some monster had passed by below. They didn't realize that it was actually me who was doing it.
In fact, after Black Yan left, under the sand dunes a distance away from us, more magic pets began to appear one after another. Black Yan was not just out alone, but in fact, when he left, he shouted one in his mouth, that is Ling. Ling, as the leader of my magic pet, can summon magic pets on my behalf. So after Black Yan sent Ling out, there is no need to summon magic pets near me. After leaving the sensing range of Ao Riggs and Bing Xin, he could summon magic pets unscrupulously and start to catch the strange sub-dragon beast.
In fact, in my opinion, the reason why the evil god was always unable to complete this task was not because of the difficulty of the task, but because he was very unlucky. Firstly, the combat soldiers produced in his place were all negative energy creatures, and they were all suppressed by the environment here. Therefore, not many people could exert their normal combat power. This caused the team's strength to be low. Secondly, the evil god was not lucky and encountered accidents every time, so he always returned in a desperate situation. Thirdly, the evil god had no professional counterparts under him.
According to Aioriguez's account, this sub-dragon beast can move under the sand, so whenever it cannot defeat the enemy, they will run through the sand and escape. The evil god's men have neither the people who can drill into the sand to track, nor the people who can locate the targets under the sand. This has caused the evil god's team to take their luck, and his luck is so bad.
Compared with the evil god, my demon pet has much more comprehensive abilities in this regard.
Ling's ability is just an auxiliary and intelligent dispatch here, and the real operator is not her. First of all, we have a pioneer here. The ability of the pioneer is to drill holes, and the desert environment is simply home for him, because the characteristics of sand determine that the pioneer can exert 200% movement speed here. As long as half of the power is consumed, with the pioneer, we can accurately track the opponent's position when the target escapes and turn it into
Forced out because the Trail Blazers are not only fast, but also the vibration receptors on the surface of their bodies can position the opponent's position underground. Of course, during the search stage, the Trail Blazers can also drive the targets we found to the ground. After all, that kind of sub-dragon beast can only move under the sand, and it is not good at fighting under the sand. Its tail swing and biting under the sand cannot be used. Once it is attacked under the sand, it can only run to the ground, otherwise it will be passively beaten.
In addition to the pioneers, we also have Mira, who can move under the sand and participate in the attack. Not to mention Black Flame, it has a large size and high defense, and a snake-shaped body can easily pass through the sand. Therefore, once the target is found, it can quickly subdue the other party. Mira's situation is similar. As a ruby dragon, Mira's body is as hard as diamonds. With huge power, it is absolutely fine when moving under the sand. Although the speed is not as fast as Black Flame and cannot pursue, it is fine when intercepting. Mira can run from the ground to the front of the target and then drill into the ground to block the opponent, so that the target can be forced out sooner or later.
With the above three, arrest and pursuit are no longer a problem, and the operational personnel are enough. The remaining few auxiliary personnel are still there.
First of all, we have Xiaofeng responsible for large-scale reconnaissance in the air. After all, although this kind of creature can drill sand, it is an escape skill. It mainly moves on the sand surface, so having air units means that it can search for targets on a large scale. This is also the most lacking power that the evil gods lacked before. It is not that there are no undead creatures, but that those who can come here cannot fly. This is the biggest obstacle to the evil gods being unable to complete the task.
In addition, in addition to serving as aerial reconnaissance, Xiaofeng also has another function to block the opponent's retreat. As a fire phoenix, Xiaofeng has enough power to talk about the kind of sub-dragon beast that can catch it in the air. As long as Mira and Black Flame can force it out, Xiaofeng can bring it into the air. Then Mira can come up and cooperate with Xiaofeng to constantly let it fly around in the sky. As long as it is not allowed to land, this thing will not exert any combat power. After all, this guy will not fly.
Finally, in addition to the operation team and high-altitude reconnaissance, we also have an important combat power here - Emmenis. The main purpose of using illusion is not to deceive monsters, but to prevent Bing Xin and Ao Riggs from seeing our actions. After all, I asked Black Yan to take Ling to the distance to summon the magic pets so that I would not know that we were secretly collecting crystal cores. Of course, Emmenis's illusion is not only to guard against Ao Riggs and the others, and it is also effective for monsters. Those monsters cannot see us. Our actions
It will be more efficient, which is inevitable. Of course, Emmenis is not good at combating in high-temperature environments. Before, Mira, Black Flame, Trailblazers and Xiaofeng were all not afraid of heat, so we still need two magic pets - Iverite and Brigitte. They can both turn armor into external armaments, while Ling and Emmenis are not very adaptable to this high-temperature environment. Although there is no danger, in order to ensure combat effectiveness, the easiest way is to let them wear outer armor into armored by Iverite and Brigitte, so that they are not afraid of high temperatures.
With such a combination, it is definitely very smooth to capture that kind of sub-dragon beast, so I am not worried at all that I will not be able to get the crystal core, it is nothing more than a question of how many things are.
After Ling took my magic pet to collect the crystal cores, the battle between the two sub-dragon beasts we were staring at also entered a white-hot stage. These two guys didn't know why they fought, but they fought very fiercely. The guy who had his tail broke was probably because of excessive blood loss. Anyway, the more he fought, the softer he became, and finally he was killed. After this guy died, the other sub-dragon beast did not run away, but began to eat the guy's body.
On Earth, there are not many similar creatures, at least most mainstream creatures do not eat similar creatures. However, this Venus in the game is set as a place with extremely harsh environments. Here, any little nutrient is very important, so based on the principle that it cannot be wasted, even if it is the same kind of meat, these guys will never be polite.
Although we didn't feel any disgusting about this guy eating similar behavior, in this situation, we had to take action because the guy actually started gnawing his head, and the target was obviously the other party's crystal core. Ao Riggs had participated in several missions before, and he knew how difficult it was to get a crystal core. Now a ready-made crystal core is about to be eaten. How do you think he can sit there?
This guy rushed out from behind the hiding sand dune without even thinking about it, and there was no sign of concealment. He started howling loudly as soon as he jumped out, with the purpose of attracting the attention of the sub-dragon beast over there and preventing it from eating the crystal core. After all, the sub-dragon beast that is alive will run away from the sand, but it will not die.
After all, we took the task of the Evil God to help him find the crystal core. Now there is a ready-made one, and Ao Riggs has rushed out, so we can of course not hide it. After Ao Riggs rushed out, we could only jump out from behind the dunes one after another, and then ran towards the two sub-dragon beasts below the dunes.
Although Ao Riggs jumped out first, this guy is a ghost knight, and his heavy knight armor is naturally not fast. In fact, this guy can walk steadily on the sand because of the effect of magic, otherwise his weight would have been sinking to the bottom.
Although Ao Riggs could barely move normally with magic, it was incomparable to us. Zhenhong did not hesitate to summon his magic pet dragon, and then stepped on the dragon head and flew down on the sand surface. The sub-dragon beast below saw such a large group of people rushing over, and immediately determined that he was not the opponent, and then turned decisively and drilled into the sand.
Although the sub-dragon beast reacted quickly, it was a pity that Zhenhong was faster. Her magic pet Shenlong lowered her head and let Zhenhong look forward. Then Zhenhong suddenly squatted and kicked Shenlong's head, and her whole body shot out like a cannonball. Until she reached a few meters above the target, the sub-dragon beast had just crawled in half.
Zhenhong, who fell from the sky, directly punched the sand surface, and shouted, "Come out." With a loud bang, Zhenhong's fist exploded into a circle of golden magic circles when it touched the sand, and the ground jumped violently as if it was earthquakes. The unlucky sub-dragon beast had already drilled down and was actually bounced out. So much of the body of the unlucky sub-dragon beast was still sitting on the ground in a daze, not understanding why he came out again for no reason.
"Hehe, it depends on where you run this time."
Chapter completed!
