Volume 19 Chapter 215 The Paradise of the Insects

"Zi Ri? Why are you here again?" Seeing me appearing in his guild, the Gun God made a joke, and then asked jokingly: "Don't you want me to help you catch the gods again, right?"

When I heard the Gun God’s joke, I immediately said casually: “You can’t tell me, I really let you guess it right.”

"What?" The Gun God was just joking with me just now, but he didn't expect that he would really make him slam. "You, you... are you fine in your head? The Liberal Gods have lost several of them recently and are mobilizing forces everywhere to find who to do it. You still want it? You are not afraid of the Liberal Gods in China, but I am still in the United States! If something really happens, you can run away. What should I do?"

"Look, I'm scared you, aren't it just a few gods?"

"How many? The Liberty Gods lost thirteen members this month. Are you not enough?"

"What? Thirteen?"

Seeing that the Gun God reacted so much, he immediately realized the wrong thing, so he asked tentatively: "Isn't it yours?"

"I'm a little crazy, but I haven't lost my mind yet. I've attacked the Liberal God so many times in a row, just to make myself feel uncomfortable. Since the last time we've finished the information you gave me, we haven't attacked the Liberal God again."

After hearing my words, the Gun God immediately frowned and asked, "You really didn't send anyone?"

"Is it necessary to lie to you?"

"That means that the eight gods who have recently disappeared have nothing to do with you?"

"Nonsense, of course it has nothing to do with me. But can you investigate who attacked the Liberty Clan?"

The Gun God lowered his head and thoughtfully said, "You asked me to find information for you to attack the Liberal Gods before. I always thought that you did the subsequent attacks by yourself, so I didn't investigate them. Now it seems that those traces should not be disguises."

"Traces? What are the traces?"

"There were traces of battle in the places where the eight gods disappeared. Judging from the traces, the attacker was not a humanoid creature."

"Isn't it a humanoid creature? Is it a wild monster?"

"It should not be a wild monster. After all, the gods were attacked. Although there are many powerful individuals in the wild monsters, their distribution locations are fixed. I haven't heard of such powerful creatures in the attacked areas."

"It's neither a wild monster nor so powerful. Could it be a mission monster?"

Because the game "Zero" will set a special mission for each player, a special monster or other monster will often be added suddenly due to a certain player's mission. However, because "Zero" is an integrated game that simulates the rules of the world, it is generally unlikely that these monsters will only contact the task recipient after they appear. We are now suspecting that this creature is a special NPC, and perhaps those gods are just unlucky.

The Gun God suddenly said, "If you don't have a hurry, wait for me first. I'll go to the forum to check if there is any other information. I always thought it was an attack you created, so I didn't pay much attention to it. Now it seems that I have to collect information."

After I nodded, the Gun God immediately activated the forum browsing mode, and I also went to the forum to read it. Since Zero's official forum is very intelligent, we quickly found the information we needed from a large amount of information.

There are more than 300 pieces of information I retrieved, from more than 200 players, most of which said they were attacked by powerful unknown creatures in the low-level monster area, and the areas they were attacked were in the areas where the eight gods were missing. Excluding those unlucky guys who didn't even see the attacker, some of them found more comprehensive information. One of the guys saw that the attacker was a humanoid creature with a weird appearance, but there were no screenshots. He just used words to describe this monster walking on two legs, but his upper body had three arms and two heads.

After seeing this person's post, I looked through other posts of monsters, but the content was very strange. These people saw almost never different monsters. Except for the personal descriptions, some of which were similar, the monsters seen by others were constantly changing. However, based on their descriptions and the order of posting time, I quickly inferred a possibility that this monster has been deforming and it seems that it has a fixed growth goal.

After I left the forum with this information, the Gun God happened to come back with the information. However, unlike me, he not only found the information himself, but also asked a group of subordinates to help search. Naturally, he got more things than me.

After comparing the information, the final conclusion we came to was the same. "Is this a task npc?" We both looked at each other and said in surprise.

The Gun God took a map and marked the circles according to the time of the attack report, and then connected them with lines. Finally, he found that the attacker was moving in one direction. He consciously avoided open areas such as cities that are easily discovered by people, and specifically found the depths of those leveling areas.

"This is an intellectual NPC, and it has a clear goal." I looked at the map and analyzed.

The Gun God agreed with my analysis, and then he followed the crooked road map and finally found a more possible target point.

Looking at the last coordinate point marked by the Gun God on the map, I asked in confusion: "Where is this?"

"You know where you will never want to go afterwards." I looked at the Gun God in confusion, and then waited for nearly half a minute before continuing: "The name here is - Valley of Insects."

You can tell from this name what is terrible about the Valley of the Insects. The valley itself is not a problem, the problem lies in the bugs. According to the Gun God, the Valley of the Insects is simply an insect museum, with insects and insects in it. From giant beetles like hills to miniature insects that are completely invisible without gathering into groups, you can almost find similar or even identical varieties here. Except for a few special hobby groups, this kind of place is simply a forbidden area for humans. Not to mention that 99% of these insects are aggressive, even if they all become unmovable sculptures, normal people will never want to get close to them. Especially those beautiful women, this is the most dangerous, evil, and unbearable area for them. None of them are.

After talking about the situation in the Valley of the Insect, the Gun God kept staring at me, and I looked at him in surprise and asked, "Don't you think I'm going there to block this creature that can only attack the gods, right?"

The Gun God asked, "You have no meaning at all if you dare to say that you are?"

"Even if there is one, it's just a little bit. I won't enter the Valley of the Insects. Although my tolerance for insects is pretty good, it's better not to touch it."

"What if I ask you to go?"

I stretched out a hand to him and said simply: "The benefits."

Without saying a word, the Gun God directly took a gem as big as a super large apple from his own space equipment and put it in my hand. "Natural colored diamonds, divine fire-level. As long as I take it out and call for 5 million, it will be snatched away in less than a minute."

"Your purpose?" I asked while looking at the extra-large colored diamonds in my hand. The Gun God asked me to wait first, then ran out and walked around. After more than ten minutes, I ran back with a bunch of scrolls. When I saw the bunch of scrolls he was holding, I was stunned. "Hey, hey... what do you mean? I said when did you become so generous! I went to the Valley of the Insect and gave me a top-quality colored diamond. After a long time, you were waiting for me here?"

The Gun God deliberately pretended to be very stupid and naive and said with a smile: "Anyway, you have one thing to do, and two things to do. How about just running all of them at once and saving trouble?"

"You have saved the trouble, I'm so troublesome." I said and checked the pile of scrolls and said, "You must have thirty scrolls, right? Even if you take your colored diamond for auction, it will be only 10 million, right? More than 30 tasks, and one task is only 300,000, and you can settle the accounts."

The Gun God said without hesitation: "Oh, you can get more than 300,000 yuan by one task? Besides, you still complete more than 30 tasks in one place at the same time, which saves you a lot of trouble. What else do you want? Also. I ask you so many tasks at one time, so you have to calculate a wholesale price? Besides, you originally wanted to block that monster. It's just a bystander, right?"

"Is I as exaggerated as you said? Okay, okay, for the sake of the old customer, I took this task." I smiled and put away the gem, and then carried all the large bundle of scrolls over. "But then, why do you have so many scrolls?"

"Collection." The God of War replied simply.

"What are you doing for this?" I asked curiously.

The God of War did not answer me directly, but pointed to the scroll and said, "You will understand when you look."

I piled the scrolls on the table next to me in confusion, and then waved my hand to summon a group of death guards to help me spread the scrolls and hold them all in my hands to make it easier for me to see them one by one. These scrolls are all task scrolls, and the contents are all completed in the Valley of Worms, and many of them are to collect designated bugs.

After reading the content on the scroll, I also understood why Gun God is doing to collect these task scrolls. It turns out that the rewards given by these scrolls are all random skills learning opportunities, and it is marked below that the random range is the player's special skills. The so-called random range is the special skills of the player. For example, if it is a random skill of the Blood Bull Warrior, the skills you get are definitely blood and defense or melee attacks. If it is a random skill of a turret mage, the one you get must be high-power magic skills or auxiliary skills such as magic damage. In short, random skills must be very useful skills. Although this skill is still random and there is a lot of uncertainty, at least it sets the range in the aspect of the player's specialties. Even if it is not the skill you want, it will definitely not be useless.

Because of this range limitation, this kind of random chance is very popular. As long as you have a task of getting such random chances, everyone will definitely rush to get it. Now, the Gun God can accumulate so many such scrolls in his hands, which further highlights the terrifyingness of the Valley of the Insect. Think about it. Even such a popular scroll that specializes in rewarding random skills is no longer needed because the task is located in the Valley of the Insect. How scary should this Valley of the Insect?

After confirming the reason why the Gun God collected these scrolls, I shouted directly: "I want to add..."

"I'll give you three rewards." Before I could call the Gun God, I shouted out the benefits in advance. But I should think about it. Anyone who sees this thing will want to get a share of it. If I need to go to the Valley of the Insect, others may give up on it. Anyway, I'm going to do a task, and it's really normal to get a few more scrolls.

When I heard the words of the Gun God, I said directly: "I'll choose first."

The Gun God nodded and said, "You'll be the first."

It may not be meaningful for others to pick first and then choose, but it will be different if I choose first. Because it is a task I do, and the basic rule of the task in Zero is that the greater the difficulty, the higher the risk, and the more troublesome the process, the richer the reward. I do the task myself, and no one knows better which task is simple and which task is complicated than me. At that time, I just need to pick out the scrolls of the three tasks that cause me the most troubles. Needless to say that it is definitely the best reward task. Don’t think that the rewards are the same because the rewards are all random skills. Random skills actually have high or low points. If it is a random chance obtained by a complex task, you can generally follow the better skills. In comparison, the probability of getting good skills in a simple task will be much lower.

After finalizing the compensation issue, I asked the Gun God to help me pay attention to the recent activities of the Free Gods. As for me, I directly took the route map drawn by the Gun God to block the monster.

The reason why I am so interested in this monster is mainly because this thing attacks several free gods. One can only attack the gods. This means that this thing is either super imaginary with strong power, or it has a way to restrain divine power, or both. No matter which of these three situations, this monster is very important to us.

The Frost Rose Alliance is now in its expansion period, which means that we will have conflicts with the gods of many countries. According to the system regulations, local gods cannot participate in the war during the external expansion. In other words, when our guilds expand, the Heavenly Court cannot provide us with any open help. All we can rely on is the only guild gods. However, compared with the attacking parties, the attacked countries have the opposite settings. Although local gods cannot participate in foreign aggression, they have the right to move in their local defense. For example, when we attacked ***, in addition to dealing with *** players, we also had to fight against the Gaotian Genshin Impact, led by Amaterasu, because the gods were almost unrestricted in the local defense battle.

The strength of our guild determines that in the future, only we invade others, it is unlikely that other countries will fight our territory. Moreover, with the strength of the Heavenly Court, if other countries really fight our territory, we will probably drive all those people outside the national border even if we do not participate in the battle with the Heavenly Court. Therefore, what we need most urgently at the moment is a way to fight against the gods.

Our guild uses mobile angels to the gods, but adding it is too exaggerated. It is okay to support some battles. The frontal battlefield is absolutely not enough. Although the guild gods are also a way to fight against the opponent's gods, everyone knows the difficulty of the development of the guild gods. Our guild gods are currently the only guild gods in the world. This shows the difficulty of creating the guild gods. Moreover, although our chaotic and order gods were founded, the scale is just like this. It is only recently that Hades and the others came in. There were basically only those gods who were wandering around before, saying that the guild gods were just an empty stance. There were basically no one except Vina, Xinghuo and Peacock.

In addition to the guild gods and the mobile angels used on the gods, the number of players that our guild can really deal with the gods is too small. Besides Christina and Zhenhong, a few powerful people like Jinko, even if others can fight against the gods, they will still fight against one of them, and they will have to deal with the ordinary gods with less powerful strength. If they encounter those well-known high-level gods, these players Lima will be useless.

It is precisely because I am so stretched in my ability to fight against the gods that I am so interested in this creature that can only attack the gods. If I can catch it and find a way to fight against the gods in it and popularize it, then we will no longer have to worry about the local gods in the invaded countries.

With expectations for this powerful creature, I kept urging the birds to accelerate their flight along the way, and soon we arrived near the Valley of the Insects.

In fact, the Valley of Insect is not just a valley, it should be regarded as a general term for a large area of ​​mountains and forests. However, because the peaks in this area are very steep and basically cannot be stuck on those mountains, everyone calls this place the Valley of Insect instead of the Mountain of Insect.

Unlike the forests in reality, there are often no obvious excessive areas. The boundaries of most areas in the game are very obvious. For example, this Valley of Worm, when it is still dozens of kilometers away from the real valley, there are still plains below, but after continuing to move forward a few kilometers, you will immediately see a tall mountain range. If you look down from a high altitude, you will find that this mountain range is almost a circle connected to the end, surrounding the entire Valley of Worm in this screen-like mountain range. There are seven openings in the entire mountain range, and the widest one is no more than twenty meters. The pass where I am now is only more than three meters wide, and it is a bit difficult to even think about getting over a larger carriage.

After arriving at the mountain pass, I did not rush down, but first observed the structure of the entire valley. The circle of circumferential valley outside was like an iron bucket that wrapped the entire valley of insects, and the peaks inside were also very narrow and narrow, just like a city wall in the maze, and the inner circle of the valley was one by one piece in the east and west. Although the roads in the sky seemed not very chaotic, it was because from the above that if people were in the mountains, they would easily get lost.

In addition to the complex internal results, I also found that the environment of this ghost place seems to be different from that outside. The area where the Valley of the Worm is located should be considered a temperate area, surrounded by grasslands and ordinary mixed forests of multiple species, but the valley is covered with clouds and mountains. Except for the peaks, most areas are covered with dense water vapor. From the canopy that occasionally rise above the foggy environment, you can find that the plants here seem to be tropical rainforest plants. According to my estimate, there may be two reasons for forming such an environment. One is that the crater outside forms an isolation barrier to isolate the environment in the valley from the outside. The second is that there must be large geothermal areas and abundant surface water in the valley. These waters are heated by geothermal to form water vapor to cover the valley. At the same time, due to the protection of the crater, geothermal heat cannot spread, so you can only continuously heat the air inside the valley. The final result is that the temperature environment in the valley is hardly heated from the temperate zone to the tropical zone.

After confirming the general environment in the valley, I landed at the entrance of the valley and started hiking into the valley. The monster gathering area in Zero has a characteristic, that is, it cannot fly directly from the sky. This does not mean that you cannot fly in, but that you will be punished by the system when entering in this way. You can directly fly a leveling area, but don't land or fly too low, otherwise all kinds of accidents will occur, and the results will usually be bad. This is the experience summarized by many players after they die countless times. It is better for ordinary people not to try it.

With my strength, of course I don’t care about ordinary accidents, but if I can get less trouble, why do I have to make myself feel uncomfortable?

Before entering the valley, I first left a few ghost insects at the entrance of the valley as my eyes to monitor the entrance of the valley. According to the time difference between the distance on the map, the movement speed of the monster can be roughly calculated. According to this speed calculation, it will probably take more than ten hours to reach the Valley of the Insects. I don’t want to wait for him here for more than ten hours, so I plan to go in and finish the pile of mission scrolls before talking about it. But then again, the Gun God is really good at calculating the accounts! How long will it take to do all thirty scrolls?

"Hurry, hurry up, help me do a statistics." I spread the task scrolls at the entrance of the valley and asked the Death Guard to help me hold them, and then called out the humanoid demon pets to help me open the content of the task. Ling took a notebook to do statistics there, and the others classified various types of tasks and reported them to Ling in turn. Because we have a lot of people, we only used it for a short time to count all the tasks.

Ling stood in front of me with a notebook and said, "According to statistics, there are the following things we need to do in this mission. First, we need to collect fifteen types of insects, name and quantity here. You can take a look at it yourself and pay attention to several of them that need to be alive, and one must be a complete corpse that cannot be broken. In addition to these insects, we also need to collect special parts of three plants, and also look for a special stone called wool stone. In addition, we must kill nine types of insects to obtain their special parts, and this specific variety, collection part and quantity are written on the paper that has just been given to you. Finally, we need to find three caves here to obtain different treasures, and we also need to find two cemeteries and an abandoned laboratory. The task is also to find specific items in it."

I looked at the long list in my hand and frowned. "Why are there so many things?"

"There is no way, this is the content of the task. If you have less, you have to have one less task." Ling reported helplessly.

"Okay, you remember. The rest of you go back to the training space first, Xiaofeng, King and Sha Yezi stay. Oh, by the way, Ghost Lantern, you come out too."

I have said a long time ago that the biggest advantage of a beast trainer is that it can replace different magic pets according to different environments to ensure that you can gain a geographical advantage in any terrain. Of course, this premise is that you have to have so many magic pets for you to change. Fortunately, my magic pet happens to be able to adapt to the current environment.

King and Sha Yezi are soul creatures. The biggest feature of this Valley of Worm is that there are so many bugs, and the undead are the least afraid of bugs. Anyway, at worst they can enter a state of nothingness. Although there are many bugs here, only a few bugs can attack the spirits. So they should be considered invincible here.

In addition to King and Sha Yezi, Ghost Lamps are also very useful. Although I rarely summon him, the ability of Ghost Lamps is really useful here. Why are insects scary? It’s not because of how strong they are. No bug is really powerful and invincible in reality or in the game. What people are really afraid of is the number of insects rather than their single strength. Although Ghost Lamps are called Ghost Lamps, they are actually a monster rather than a dead soul. He has no attack power and his defense is also bad. His only ability is to transform any creature within a range of 300 meters around him into a dead creature that can be controlled by me at the moment of death.

Although there are many bugs, they can be killed after all. With the ghost lamp, the more bugs I kill, the more undead bugs I can control. It won’t take long for this to bring more bugs than the living bugs here. What bugs will I be afraid of at that time?

In addition to the above three magic pets, Xiaofeng is my protective umbrella and the strongest thug here. No matter how strong the insect is, it is a bug. When it encounters a fire phoenix that can turn into flames on its whole body, what else can I say? Isn’t it burned to ashes for ashes?

In fact, in addition to the specialties of these people, the most important reason why I summon them is that they are not afraid of poison. In addition to the many characteristics of insects, most of them carry poison, so people with low poison resistance will definitely not be able to survive in this kind of place.

After I prepared the entourage, I thought about it and released the Rose Vine and the Trailblazer. I remember that the insects also like to dig holes underground. In order to prevent them from falling into the insect holes accidentally, it is best to bring them to the existence that will dig holes. As for other magic pets, I will not summon for the time being. There are too many people and it is difficult to command and are easily attacked. When it encounters a situation, I will decide who to ask for help based on the situation.

I raised my hand and touched the evil dragon on my finger to protect it. A purple mist that was slightly thinner than the white water vapor in the valley spread out quickly. When these mists came into contact with the surrounding white water vapor, they immediately mixed together. The mixed mist not only did not lose their due function, but also extended the time of action, which I had never thought of before.

After watching the fog of death spread around me, I took my demons to officially step into the valley. The water around me blocked my sight, so I simply used the fog of death to block the fog of the insects. Anyway, I don’t expect to see them far, as it’s fair if I can’t see them.

The Valley of Insects is worthy of being a paradise for insects. We just walked less than a hundred meters into the valley and saw a colorful spider as big as a crab slowly hanging down from the trunk above our heads. After seeing this thing, my demon pets immediately showed a surprising reaction.

"Ah...there are bugs!" Xiaofeng, who was originally expected to be a thug, actually hid behind me at the first time, and Sha Yezi, who was supposed to be a scout, actually responded, but she was just hiding behind the king.

"Damn, are you two mistaken? That thing is less than one hundred. Do you have such a big reaction?" I said, then turned around and grabbed Xiaofeng and scolded, "Especially you. What kind of spiders are you afraid of as a phoenix?"

Xiaofeng looked at me with grievance and said, "Are they just afraid? Is this one that has nothing to do with strength?"

Sha Yezi was also helping out. "That's it! It's natural for girls to be afraid of insects, it has nothing to do with strength!"
To be continued...
