Chapter 66: Going deep into the tiger's den

"have no idea."

"ah?"

Eve re-explained: "I really don't know. Things have to start from the beginning. In fact, the virus you contracted this time has just appeared on our side for a while, and many people from the guild fell down. Later, there was a news from where I heard that there was a profession called medic, which belongs to the branch major of pharmacists. This profession is completely different from the past priests. They do not know any magic and can only rely on drugs to treat others. Moreover, they do not have combat power and belong to non-combat profession players. Legend has it that players in this profession can treat this disease. After everyone heard about it, they all started looking for players in this profession."

I continued, "When you found this player in the medic profession, he told you that the formula needs minerals here, right?"

Eve nodded and said, "It's correct. The medical practitioners did give the formula, and the things in the formula are very common. The only special thing is that it is necessary to have a rare mineral here to make a medicine."

I asked, "Then why don't the medics pick it up by themselves? Isn't non-combat profession immortal? They don't have to worry about monsters at all!"

Eve cried before he answered: "You don't know Zi Ri, the rules have been changed long ago. Non-combat professional players will be killed like us now, but the punishment for combat professional players to attack them is much more serious than that of ordinary players, so combat players generally dare not touch non-combat players."

"That's just that players can kill. Aren't monsters not attacking non-combat players?"

"What!" Maomao complained: "Now it's changed to attack. Non-combat professions will also be attacked when encountering monsters, and it's easy to hang up."

"How can I get out of the city if I don't fight profession?"

"Those who go out to the city can participate in a tour group, and there are system bodyguards to protect it. It is not necessary to protect the safety according to the price. If you join a cheap guard, you may still be killed. If you want to go out alone or experience the world of two people, you can buy the security cards in the system store. This thing can only be used by non-combat professions. As long as the lid on the sign is opened, the monsters will not attack the people with the sign for a certain period of time. However, according to the price, the effective time and expulsion effect of the sign are also different. Each sign has a level, and only monsters lower than the sign level will be driven away. Monsters are completely unaffected. Longyuan is really jealous of money, and you can think of such an immoral way to make money." Maomao didn't know that my identity was still complaining.

Seeing that my face was not good, Awei quickly added: "Don't say that. Doesn't the system also allow combat players to form tour groups?"

"This is true. However, many people still believe in the system tour group, after all, it is an official group, which is more reliable."

Awei was afraid that I would be angry if the cat said something else, so he quickly pulled the topic. "By the way, Eve, how did you know that you were going to come here to find it later? And why are there so many people who are sick?"

Eve explained: "Because the therapist is not convenient for him to come, we had to come by ourselves. As for the minerals here, it was also told by the therapist. He had been here before and knew there was this thing here, but unfortunately he didn't know it was useful at that time, so he didn't take it. As for the people here, you don't see all of us. There are three guild people here. And we are not infected with the virus, but we know that if we continue like this, we won't be able to escape sooner or later. So we just go back when everyone can move. If we get sick, it will be troublesome."

"You are foresighted." I sighed, "What's going on with this guardian guild?"

"They are from the Iron Cavalry Alliance. This city was originally theirs. It was not very popular at the beginning, but it has become a golden land since the outbreak of the plague."

Awei said: "Will they occupy the mining area and sell antidotes? How much do they have to make money from so many people who are infected with the virus!"

Eve sighed: "If they were to sell mines, it would be great. The medicine needed water soaked in ore. A little bit was enough for many people to use. If they sold mines, we would buy them directly, but these guys were too unintentional, so they sold water directly."

"It's so fucking bad!" Awei couldn't help but curse. It's still useful to sell mines. Isn't selling water too expensive?

Eve continued: "Actually, it would be fine if they supply enough water. After all, it's not easy to fight here. We don't need to seize it by force if we are too impatient. This damn virus has two major characteristics. The first is that it will not disappear. Even if you commit suicide, it is useless. After resurrection, it will still be infected. The second characteristic is repeated infection. Those bastards only sell 1,000 servings of potion every day, and they can get the potion at a high price. But this virus will be infected repeatedly, and you will be cured if you drink the medicine. But when you contact a patient, you will be infected immediately. This way, it will be impossible to cure it after spreading it. Their business is equivalent to being able to continue doing it."

Awei looked at me and said, "Boss. I finally knew that there are people in the world who are more unscrupulous than you."

"Go. Am I dark?"

Maomao and Awei looked at me and nodded violently, even Sgoth and the others had the same movements. "I'm just calculating, don't talk nonsense. The task now is to deal with the black-hearted guild in front of you. Although their power is very weak in front of everyone, those monsters are difficult to deal with. By the way, Eve, why don't you know the reason for that super monster?"

Eve replied: "The reason is that we only heard from the information obtained by the system intelligence station that there is a boss over 1,000, and there are many subordinates in this boss, but we have only seen these subordinates so far but have never seen the boss. We guess that this super boss will either be invisible, or it is just like his subordinates and cannot be seen in the team, or he has never come out at all."

Karaka said: "I would rather believe it has never come out."

"Why?"

"It's very simple!" Karaca said: "There are two reasons why the boss doesn't appear. The first is that the boss is trapped and cannot get out at all. In the past, our guild took on such a task. The boss was the Colorado War monster, but the guy was sealed and trapped in a cave. Its subordinates could enter and exit freely, but it couldn't get out by itself. We finally wiped out all his little brothers before entering the cave to find its existence."

"What about the second reason?"

"It's better not to be the second reason. Because the second reason is that the enemy is too weak and the boss is too lazy to appear. If that happens, it means that this monster is super powerful and is not afraid of us at all. But I think with the strength of President Zi Ri, the possibility that he will not come out for this reason is very low. The biggest possibility is that it can't come out at all."

Maomao also said: "These little monsters refused to leave the city too far, probably because they wanted to guard this boss. In this way, this big boss might be really trapped."

"But the problem now is that there are too many little monsters and we can't even get through the periphery!"

Maomao suddenly said, "Zi Ri, don't you know how to dig holes?"

"You can only dig holes! I'm not a mouse!"

"I mean your magic pet."

"Did you say rose vine?"

"Yes." Maomao said: "Anyway, the ore is enough, and it would be in vain to rush in with thousands of troops. In my opinion, we only made holes from the underground. Anyway, we just need to get a few pieces back. The ore is not milk powder. When the stone is soaked, everyone can drink the antidote until they are over."

"This is a good idea." I looked at the rear of the city and said, "Eve, do you know the specific location?"

"How could we know the specific situation before we even went in?"

"That's trouble!" I thought for a while and said, "Let's look while walking. Rose Vine, come out and help dig a hole."

The Trail Blazers were sick, and the work of digging was done by Rose Vine. In order to avoid being discovered, I only brought Awei, Cat, Karaka, Eve and my Landing Knight, and even the puppet was left outside. Those guys were too heavy, and they walked like earthquakes, and the monsters on them would definitely find them. In order to create chaos for the enemy, I specially asked the two phoenixes to continue to harass the enemy in the sky.

Rose Vine opened an authentic tunnel with a diameter of 1.8 meters under the ground. After I became accustomed to the original shape, I could walk upright, and there was no problem with Maomao and Awei, but Karaka and Eve were about to nod slightly.

First, it was roughly pushed over a kilometer underground and then we stopped. Rose Vine stretched out one of its main tentacles from the ground, and the tip of the emerald-like spherical tentacles stretched out from the ground and looked left and right. This is our periscope. What it saw can be directly transmitted to the crystal on the main trunk of the Rose Vine.

The first time we confirmed the target, there were cow hooves around it. It seemed to be still in the city. We took back the tentacles and continued to dig forward for a while, and raised the "periscope" again, but this time there was an accident. As soon as the tentacles of Rose Vine reached out, a big eye was printed on the picture here. Rose Vine actually extended its tentacles to the eyes of a rhino. The rhino was startled, but immediately reacted and started calling, but we flashed faster and took them back. The other rhino had no reaction when they saw anything. The rhino stopped after a while.

After moving for a while, we looked at the bottom lane again. This time I learned my lesson, let Rose Vine use auxiliary tentacles to make a small hole and then retract the tentacles. I opened the small lid on my wrist and put a crystal beetle out. The little thing climbed up to the ground along the super small passage, and I could see it directly.

Several rhinos noticed a bug appearing under the ground. But they quickly looked away. After all, such a small bug is not a threat to them. Not to mention that they are rhinos, even a person would not think that the bug crawling out of the ground is a monitor.

I saw the rhinos, but they obviously didn't intend to care about my bugs. Naturally, I was not worried about being discovered. I controlled the crystal beetle and climbed towards the building next to me to go up to a high place to see the situation.

"Ah!" I suddenly screamed and fell to the bottom. Awei and the others quickly helped me up.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Awei asked nervously.

"My crystal beetle was trampled to death by a rhino. I was still in the spirit of being in contact with it. It felt like I was trampled to death!"

"Haha!" They all laughed when they heard my words. "Steal chickens and don't lose rice!"

"Fortunately, I have enough crystal beetles. It's no big deal to lose one or two." I took one from my wrist and put it in the hole. This time I learned my lesson. As soon as the crystal beetle came out of the ground, it quickly climbed towards the wall. It quickly stuck it up and then climbed up. This time I finally climbed to the roof safely. From here, I could see the valley behind it. It seemed that we were not far from the rear of the city. We dug forward again after recalling the crystal beetle.

Eve became very interested in the crystal beetle in my hand and pestered me to take it over and take it over. Although most girls don’t like bugs, the crystal beetle is completely like a crystal craft. If it doesn’t move, no one will find that it is alive, so naturally it will not cause disgust.

I was so entangled that I had no choice but to give her one to let her see enough. Eve tossed and played with the crystal beetles for a long time and asked, "It seems you can control them, right?"

"Of course. Otherwise, what else is it?"

"Then how do you control them?"

After I took off my helmet, I lowered my head and lifted my hair to let him look at the back of my neck. Eve looked at it for a while and asked in surprise: "Is this a female worm?"

I brought back my helmet and said, "This is a queen insect. Their social structure is similar to bees, but this race reproduction is single-sex. There are no mating insects such as bumblebees, only two categories: mother insects and combat insects. After the mother insect dies, the stronger ones among the combat insects will evolve into mother insects and divide into multiple groups, roughly the same as the bee colony."

"What a magical species." Eve handed the little bug back to me and said, "Sell me a female bug?"

"no."

"Why?"

"Didn't sell it?"

"Will you automatically split into multiple groups when you kill this female insect? Then you can parasitize a female insect and sell it to me." This woman thought very well.

I explained helplessly: "First of all, don't think that anyone can be parasitized by mother insects. Not all races are suitable for parasitism. Second, the number of larvae after parasitization comes at the cost of the host's recovery ability. It doesn't matter if I am a magic pet master. A knight like you is not suitable for use at all, and the pain feeling when parasitizing this thing will make people crazy. It was not allowed to go offline at that time. Forced downlink will lead to parasitism failure, which means that you must hold up the pain and wait for the parasitism to end. I was deceived at the beginning, and if I gave it another chance, I would choose not to parasitize. Third, the most important point. This guy is now one with me, and even if he dies, it will not die. Unless I delete the number, it will not die."

"Hey! What a pity, such a beautiful bug is not available!"

"These guys are not only beautiful." I turned the crystal beetle over and let it open the cover outside the mouth, and the pair of large pliers inside were immediately exposed. "I saw that the mouth of this thing is wrapped inside. If you get bitten, you will have less meat. And once a large number of crystal beetles concentrate on attacking a target, you can only leave the target with bones in a few minutes. There is no bone left."

"Isn't that better than a piranha?"

"Pirates are incomparable to this thing. Piranhas can only move in the water. This guy is amphibious on the water, can fly for a short distance, has good bounce ability, and can also make holes. By the way, they eat everything. When you wear armor, they can also chew the armor together."

"It's too fierce, right?"

"This is my secret skill of killing. How can I ensure safety if I am not ruthless?"

The cat reminded us: "It's almost time to arrive?"

I nodded and asked the rose vine to stop first, and then put another crystal beetle on it. After the crystal beetle went out this time, I saw a large coniferous forest. From here I looked deep inside.

"How should we walk in front of us under a forest?"

Eve said: "According to the therapist's description, the ore should be in the cave deep in the forest, and we should continue to dig forward."

Karaka said: "Can't we go up and walk? It's so uncomfortable to hold it in here."

Eve immediately said, "There are poisonous flies above. Unless you want to turn into a toad, it's better to walk here honestly."

"Toad? Will you get a bag when you are bitten?"

Eve said: "These poisonous flies don't bite people. They just like to lay eggs on you. Then your body temperature and blood will help poisonous flies hatch. Then they will grow in your body by themselves. When they grow to one centimeter, they will form cocoons and transform into poisonous flies and drill out of their skin. Think about what it looks like when the blood holes on your body are filled with thick water, and you will know why they become toads."

"It's so disgusting!" The cat couldn't stand it anymore. "Let's not go up! I would rather commit suicide when I was bitten into a toad!"

"Is armor sealing not OK?" I asked Eve.

"It's OK to seal it, but most armor is not sealed. Many knight armor can breathe underwater to a certain extent, but the body parts of the armor are usually not sealed."

Awei shouted: "Boss, we're better off below, right? Your armor is tight enough, and our order suit is not sealed on the body. What if you get stinged?"

"Don't worry, I don't plan to go up! Even if you are not afraid of slapping me, I am still afraid of alerting the snake!"

"I just knew you weren't that kind."

"Shh!" I suddenly stopped them from teasing. "There is movement on the ground, don't make a sound. Let me see what's going on."

The small crystal beetle crawled over with the vibration of the ground, and my eyes moved forward with the crystal beetle's gaze. Through some dead leaves and falling tree forks, I saw a person.

"Eve."
