Hunter Queen: Killer Queen

Chapter 340 Insect Swarm × Bird Song × Warcraft!

It seems to be because they are still on the outskirts of the continent. Although they can see all kinds of strange animals in the next few days, there is no danger on the whole.

Joey's work is not progressing quickly. He is in the process of learning the divine words. Even if Pyonn in the team can help him, it still needs to find the right combination from a large number of divine words. Spend a lot of time trying.

Fortunately, such ferocious beasts with special scales are not uncommon on this road. In other words, monsters with similar scales on this road have become the mainstream of creatures on the mainland.

This allowed Joey to truly see the reproduction ability of the black dragon. That cross-species mating and reproduction ability was simply a bug!

It's just that this kind of ferocious beast with the blood of the black dragon seems to be genetically locked. The height of its growth has been limited when it is born.

However, while this restriction blocks the upper limit, it also gives these ferocious beasts a very high lower limit.

As long as these ferocious beasts continue to grow normally, they will inevitably reach extremely powerful existences, because those who cannot reach a certain strength have long had their life energy sucked away by their own scales.

The scales not only ensure that the ferocious beast has a strong defense, but also absorb nutrients like a parasite.

On the third day after arriving in the imaginary continent, Joey took out his wallet from his arms. He looked at the scales in front of him, and an idea suddenly formed in his mind.

The scales are absorbing the life force of the ferocious beast, and [Ming]'s skin is also absorbing [Ming]'s life force.

Although the abilities displayed are different, their essence is almost the same. It's just that the scales are more like in the stage of accumulating strength, while the scales have changed quantitatively to the extent that they can cause qualitative changes.

Joey didn't know what the principle was, but through this he found a way to block the life energy in the scales!

The answer lies in the divine word he got from Jin to block the erosion of Mingpi's soul.

As Joey figured this out, his work efficiency improved by leaps and bounds.

On the other hand, after finding out the condition of the scales, Crook shifted his focus to the strange insects. This kind of strange insects does not only exist in the black rock belt.

At night when Joey and others were walking through the dense forest, they also saw this kind of bug suddenly emerging from the ground.

There was a fight between the two sides at that time!

As the battle progressed, more and more insects jumped out of the underground, as if there was a huge insect nest underground.

From the beginning, the hunters of the association could easily deal with the bugs rushing out. Later, there was no foothold on the ground, only dense insect corpses. But even so, there were countless bugs vying to rush under the ground. He came out of the ground and rushed towards them.

That kind of depressing feeling can make even an experienced hunter tremble in his heart.

The birds hovering in the sky gradually began to rise after a large number of insects died. It was not until Nobu threw out a lot of supplies that more than thirty people temporarily hid in the fourth-dimensional apartment, and finally avoided the continued attacks of the insect swarms.

When Joey and others reappeared in the outside world a few hours later, although there were still a lot of insect corpses on the ground, no insects continued to emerge from the ground.

The birds in the sky are still there, but each one eats with red beaks and swollen bellies.

The team did not dare to stay here any longer, and walked quickly away under the leadership of Porter Bai and Yinda.

Although strange insects cannot read and have no special abilities, when their numbers reach a terrifying level, even experienced hunters need to avoid their sharp edges, otherwise they will be buried in the insect swarm, which will be the hunter's final fate.

In addition, the association does not want to waste too much power here. After all, continuing to fight against the insect swarm will not be of any benefit to the association.

These bugs are of absolutely no value to the association.

Although the insect's claws look very sharp, their hardness is really average.

In addition, these bugs are not suitable as food reserves at all, not because they have little edible value, but because they are too unpalatable.

After Menqi inspected it, he gave up on the insect meat.

Although Bu Ha Ci felt a little pity, after quietly getting a piece of it, he threw it away with a sad face.

Moreover, there is actually no shortage of food on this hypothetical continent. I know that this is the case for the association. Hunting is the most basic ability of hunters.

The entire team must be at least 80% wilderness survival experts.

After passing through the location where the insect swarm attacked, the team chose to repair next to a stream.

Joey and Crook also conducted a more detailed dissection and analysis of the bug. This thing is different from the ferocious beasts that are plagued by black dragons on the mainland. It completely crushes the target with a quantity.

"The previous swarm of insects appeared in the black rock belt because of fish falling from the sky. What about the appearance this time? It can't be because of us, right?" Joey felt a little strange.

Because there were no resources in the forest suitable for swarms of insects to plunder at that time.

As for them, they were only a team of more than thirty people, and they couldn't even match the amount of meat that a few large ferocious beasts could provide them.

Joey was slightly stunned when he thought of this, and then he looked toward the forest behind him, and at the same time, his circle suddenly explored the ground in an irregular way.

"Is it possible that we were marked from the black rock belt?" Crook's face looked slightly ugly.

"It must have been hundreds of kilometers from the Black Rock Belt to here!" Joey's brows furrowed, because as he continued to explore underground, he actually discovered the existence of life forms deep underground. .

Although the shape of the thing was slightly different from the strange insect he had seen before, the aura between the two hairs was somewhat similar.

The ability of weather forecasting quietly launched an attack on the life form.

The simplest way to do this underground is to instantly evacuate the atmosphere near the monster insect and create a vacuum there instantly.

This is not too difficult for Joey. On the one hand, there is not much atmosphere underground, and it is a closed environment. On the other hand, the opponent does not dodge the circle, which gives Joey enough time to display his abilities. .

When the breath of life below disappeared within the scope of his circle, Joey knew he had succeeded.

He quickly took out his cell phone and sent a message to Qi Duo, and then the team that had just stopped for repairs rushed forward again.

Joey did not take back his circle, and kept exploring the underground during the operation.

Ten minutes after running out, Joey shook his head helplessly to Crook: "I killed a dozen of them, but after running out for a while, another strange insect will emerge from below."

"Qi Duo has sent people to explore underground." Crook's expression was equally bad.

Because now it is certain that they are being targeted by the swarm of insects, but why?

"Why?" Joey asked Crook's thoughts: "Even if we can really kill us, it's not profitable to chase us all the way. The opponent is not a single ferocious beast, but a swarm of insects!"

Joey also didn't understand this. Unless the situation underground was different from what they saw, it would be a bit strange no matter how they thought about it.

"Let's see what kind of information the people who go below will come back with!" Crook sighed, also feeling a little helpless about the current situation.

If you don't know that you are being tracked, you can think that the insect swarm still exists far away from the black rock belt.

But knowing that one's side may be being tracked, it is impossible to let the other side's existence go unchecked. Otherwise, if the insect swarm appears more times, even if the team is full of experienced and powerful hunters, it will be difficult to guarantee one's own safety. Able to reach the other side of the continent safely.

It's just that the information from Chiduo hasn't been received for a long time, which makes Joey, Crook, and even Leoli, who hasn't interrupted, feel a little more gloomy.

After the team marched for several hours, the sound of birdsong appeared again above everyone's heads.

Joey looked up and saw many strange birds standing on the branches of the tall trees in the primeval forest they were walking through.

The strange bird has a huge beak, which looks somewhat similar to a macaw, but it is also a super enlarged version.

At a rough glance, these strange birds are more than three meters tall, which is more than one meter taller than a normal person.

At this time, they were standing on the branches looking coldly towards the ground, making loud and piercing calls from their mouths all the time.

Joey's expression suddenly changed slightly, because the scent of many bugs suddenly appeared in the circle he penetrated into the ground along with the chirping of strange birds.

"Birdsong is a signal of attack!"

Joey and Crook spoke almost at the same time and made their judgment.

Unlike Joey who used the circle to explore, Crook had an additional plant stem and leaf connected to the ground in her hand. She seemed to have grasped some underground conditions through this thing.

And just as Joey and the two had judged, the number of floating bugs increased rapidly, and there was a tendency to break out of the ground close to the ground.

How to do?

There was some hesitation in Joey's heart. At this time, they had entered a habitat of strange birds. Although the attack of the insect swarm required bird song as a traction, this kind of bird song cannot be caused by the chirping of just a few birds. Their restlessness requires a large amount of it.

Otherwise, the dense forest would have been overrun with insects. After all, even if Joey and the others did not stray into the habitat of strange birds, there would always be birdsong in the forest.

Distance, quantity, and decibels, Joey quickly made a judgment. These three points should be the key to triggering the insect swarm attack.

"This seems to be more like an operating system type of ability, which is carried out completely according to the rules." Joey looked at Crook and said suddenly.

When the insect swarms appeared in the black rock zone, there were strange birds like vultures in the sky.

The previous appearance of strange insects in the forest was also due to the presence of flocks of birds above everyone's heads.

Now the third time the insect swarm breaks out of the ground, it is still because of the chirping of birds. This rule is too obvious.

But it was precisely because of this that Joey was surprised. If the other party followed the rules so much, then whether tracking them was also because they triggered the other party's rules in the black rock belt.

The action that could be considered as triggering the rules at that time seemed to be that Joey caught two strange insects for dissection and study.

If so, how to break this rule?

It was impossible to send the captured monster insects back because they were already dead and in pieces.

The only remaining way to break the rules seems to be to deal with the culprit who made the rules and chased them all the way here.

It’s just that the other party should be hidden underground!

As for underground combat, this is not Joey's area of ​​expertise.

Even if you just dive underground, will you be able to find the key to the emergence of the insect swarm?

Is the other party an entire insect swarm? Or some kind of special entity?

Joey couldn't make a proper judgment at all, let alone sneak into the ground!

In this way, we need to find another way to deal with the opponent. Joey raised his head and looked at the strange bird on the tree again.

"The number is not too large. It shouldn't be too troublesome to deal with. At least it is easier to deal with than the insect swarm." When Joey said this, he had already jumped out towards the top of the big tree.

Joey's Yuan can clearly sense the swarms of strange insects coming underground, and the number seems to have no end.

Within seconds of him escaping, someone in the team also rushed towards the flock of birds above.

At the same time, the people from the Ferry Bureau were immediately taken into Norbu's fourth-dimensional apartment, and Norbu was closely protected by the association members.

"Roar!"

As Joey approached a strange bird, a deafening roar suddenly came from beyond the cover of leaves above everyone's heads.

Joey's expression was slightly surprised, but there was no hesitation in his movements. The wind blade had immediately appeared in the upward circle after he changed direction as he climbed.

These extremely sharp invisible blades easily cut into the body of the strange bird with little hindrance. The strange bird didn't even have time to spread its wings and fly into the air before it was directly cut into pieces in the air.

But just then, the flames suddenly penetrated from the tree crown above.

It was not towards Joey and others who were rushing up, nor towards the strange bird on the tree trunk, nor towards the association members who were shrinking in formation under the tree, but towards the strange insects crawling out of the ground one by one. Coverage passes.

At the same time, as the flames appeared, a fiery red figure also appeared outside the towering trees.

It looks like a lizard, but has huge goat-like horns. The fiery red scales on its body are shining with radiance, as if it is sending energy towards its angry mouth.

"Fire dragon?" Joey looked at the behemoth with a wingspan of more than 20 meters and called out the name that best matched the appearance of this ferocious beast!

"It's a monster!" Yinda's gun-wielding figure appeared on another big tree beside Joey. His face was more solemn than ever before: "It has special abilities, a powerful thing from the dark continent! Be careful, don't rush. Take action against it.”

The flames had already fallen to the ground in response to the words.

The screams of insects quickly appeared on the ground, and then disappeared quickly. The vertically falling flames were like a straight waterfall. The falling flames hit the ground and splashed a large number of sparks flying to the nearby area. For a time, the entire forest was covered with fire. There was a huge fire.

The fire dragon that roared through the forest suddenly stopped breathing and fell to the ground with a sound of breaking wind.

It seems that its only target is the strange insects that keep pouring out from the ground!
