"It's the beetle swarm from the Lu Conglomerate's city-building mission. There's a lot of them!"
Rose Thorns quickly retracted her head and looked at everyone with a strange expression.
"What? That beetle swarm! "
Everyone here had participated in the city-building mission before, so they naturally understood what Rose Thorns was referring to. As such, everyone's expressions were a little ugly!
Although the beetles cleared in the city-building mission were also social monsters, their individual strength was far stronger than normal group monsters.
However, their individual strength was far stronger than the average group of monsters, especially the Bladed Beetles, Spray Beetles, and Steel Beetles. They were not inferior to other monsters of the same level.
What was even more amazing was the cooperation between the various beetle troops, which made many players suffer in the beginning!
"It's over. We probably can't fight this. We can only think of another way next time!"
"Let's go back first. We'll come again with more preparation next time. Legendary equipment fragments should still be dropped, at least there won't be no more next time! "
Chairman Jiao said in the team channel, sounding a little disappointed.
"That's right. If we fight and the whole team gets wiped out, the losses will be huge!"
Boss Meng and Little Witch nodded with a bad expression.
For a team of players, as long as they did not get wiped out in the mission, the most they would lose was one level of experience, because the remaining people could pick up the valuable items dropped.
However, if the team was wiped out, the losses would be huge. Especially in this kind of restricted underground ruin, people could only enter again the next day, and the equipment would definitely be gone!
"No, maybe we should wait for a while …"
However, Rose Thorns, who was standing at the corner, suddenly spoke and surprisingly rejected the idea!
"Ah?"
Apart from Feng Luo, everyone else did not understand what she meant.
"Those beetles in front are actually killing each other!"
Rose Thorns' expression was very strange, clearly not understanding the reason.
In the eyes of players, normal beetles were actually no different from wild monsters. As such, even with Mu Zi's Detection skill, he could not know that among the beetles killing each other, some of them were actually Feng Luo's "pets!"
"Killing each other?"
Rose Thorns' words were naturally out of everyone's expectations.
"Then which side has the advantage?"
Little Witch asked.
"I can't see very clearly, these beetles are in a mess. However, there seems to be a lot of beetles surrounding that Black Beetle Commander, as if they want to kill it! "
Rose Thorns said in an uncertain tone.
"Kill the Black Beetle Commander? Not good, we must stop these beetles! "
Hearing this, President Jiao's expression changed.
"Why should I stop you? Let these beetles help us get rid of the most troublesome Commander-grade monsters, then we'll deal with these beetles. Forty or fifty monsters shouldn't be a problem! "
Xiao Yao could not help but ask doubtfully.
"No, it is indeed troublesome!"
At this time, Mr. Meng also thought of the reason.
"We didn't deal enough damage to the Black Beetle Commander. If it dies, it won't necessarily drop any equipment, be it blueprints or Legendary equipment fragments … So, if we really let these monsters kill each other, we won't get anything in the end! "
"Quick, while the monsters are killing each other, let's throw a few area-of-effect skills at them and increase our Contribution Points!"
With Boss Meng's reminder, everyone came to their senses. They immediately turned around and ran toward the end of the passage!
Squeak, squeak, squeak!
However, for some reason, 24K, who was on Feng Luo's shoulder, did not move. At the same time, it sent an anxious message to Feng Luo through the mental link.
"Your pet has triggered the Hidden Mission" Origin of the Golden Beetle (1). "Please prevent your teammates from participating in the battle. If your team assists in attacking the Black Beetle Commander, your pet's mission will be judged as a failure!"
A message flashed in front of Feng Luo's eyes, and a voice notification rang in his ears.
If it were not for Feng Luo's brain being far more active than normal players, it would probably have taken him five or six seconds to clearly see all these words and clearly hear the notification. He definitely would not have been able to stop Mr. Meng and the others' attacks!
However, it was good that Feng Luo's reaction was fast, and he clearly saw the system's message with a glance.
His face was immediately shocked. Although he did not know what was going on, Feng Luo still hurriedly shouted.
"No, everyone wait, don't go up!"
As he shouted, Feng Luo quickly moved and chased after the four of them!
And this movement was very fast.
He was originally the last to start, but within ten meters, he had actually leaped over everyone, even Mr. Meng, a Light Armor Warrior!
"Sorry, everyone, please stop for a moment!"
Everyone only felt as if a shadow had flashed past them, and Feng Luo had already run to the front, blocking all of them at the corner!
"What's wrong, Manager Feng?"
Standing beside him, Rose Thorns, who had already raised her alloy shield, turned her head, a little surprised.
Fortunately, Rose Thorns knew that even if she was a Heavy Armor Warrior, she would not have the ability to kill her way into the battlefield of so many beetles and snatch the Black Beetle Commander's final attack!
As such, she did not move, but stood in place, preparing to use this position to protect the back row.
Otherwise, if she had already activated "Shield Charge" and rushed into the beetle swarm, with such a short distance, even Feng Luo, who had also activated "Charge," would not have been able to catch up.
Yes, Feng Luo had just activated "Charge," but it was not the normal "Charge" skill that ordinary players used based on distance, but a rare Light Armor Warrior skill called "Charge Stance."
Feng Luo knew Light Armor Warrior skills?
Of course he did!
Don't forget, after Feng Luo's profession changed to "Special Agent," his second profession chip was Light Armor Warrior!
With his high agility value, as long as he switched to the Light Armor Warrior profession and activated "Charge Stance," even a Warrior with top-notch equipment like Mr. Meng would not be able to compete with him in short-distance explosive speed!
"Just now, the system suddenly sent a notification. My pet has triggered a hidden mission, asking everyone not to interfere with the battle between these beetles and the Black Beetle Commander.
So, I can only hurriedly stop everyone, sorry! "
Feng Luo explained in an apologetic tone as he gestured at 24K, who was on his shoulder.
"However, regarding the Legendary equipment shard, there's no need for everyone to be anxious.
Previously, I had already shot this Commander monster and obtained the first damage of more than 10% of its HP, so it's not like our team did not participate in the attack. Moreover, since it triggered the mission, it shouldn't affect the last Legendary equipment shard's drop! "
He knew what everyone was focused on, so he added another sentence.
"Ah, so that's how it is."
"Mm, Brother Feng, then we really have to thank you. We don't have to deal with the Commander monster, we've really hit the jackpot! I was just worried that we'd be wiped out if we fought!"
Little Witch was stunned at first, then she smiled and put away the staff in her hand.
There was no doubt that she was someone who knew how to talk!
"A hidden mission for a pet, Brother Feng, your luck is too good!"
Mu Zi did not express any objections, and her face was even a little surprised as she spoke.
"That's what I said, Brother Feng, my boy, your pet looks like it's related to this Black Beetle. Looks like you've made the right choice for today's ruin exploration mission!"
"What's there to be sorry about? If it weren't for you, my boy, we would have been wiped out long ago. Look at your pet mission, if there's anything you need me to do, just let me know! "
Mr. Meng patted Feng Luo's shoulder and said heroically as he put down the golden door giant sword.
"Haha … Hidden missions for pets are very rare, indeed worthy of attention … We don't have to fight the Commander monster, so we can be much more relaxed … Brother Feng, my boy, your luck is not bad!"
Chairman Jiao actually wanted to say something, mainly because if the damage was only around 10%, according to the damage rules of the Commander monster, there was not a 100% chance of equipment dropping!
However, after being glared at by Rose Thorns opposite him, he immediately withered, put down the staff, and muttered to himself with a smile.
Seeing that everyone, especially Chairman Jiao, did not express any dissatisfaction, Feng Luo's tone was apologetic, but the resolute gaze in his eyes had also softened!
The three Commander monsters they had killed previously, his average contribution had reached around 50% of the team. If Chairman Jiao did not even give him this little face, then he would have to reconsider their relationship!
Fortunately, everyone agreed not to interfere, so there was no need to ruin everyone's relationship!
"But, the Origin of the Golden Beetle (1), could this mission be a series of missions? There's actually no indication of what level of mission it is, this is really a little curious! "
