"Twenty-three bags of well-sealed high-quality rice."
"Some moldy meat, discarded."
"Some daily necessities."
"Some winter clothing for the shelter."
"…"
Irin frowned. When he and Molly counted the supplies in the shelter, he began to feel the seriousness of the situation.
Finding food was urgent.
Before the arrival of the four towers, due to the impact of the nuclear crisis, the Z5 council secretly built shelters that could resist radiation in many places.
At the same time.
In the trial.
"Huh? The Mermaid Kingdom? "
Irin opened the [Reputation] panel and glanced at it.
It was just a casual glance.
But this glance made Irin dumbfounded.
In the [Reputation] panel, there was no change in the reputation value of the other forces.
There was only one additional item.
[Mermaid Kingdom Reputation] Respect (1212000)
What was this feeling of walking in a cave and a melon falling from the sky?
Irin was very sure that when he had nothing to do in the Great Engineer Tower last time, he looked at the [Great Engineering Institute] reputation and there was no additional item.
This inexplicable addition of an NPC force that he had never met before was one thing, but it also strangely rose to "Respect" in an instant?
Did he accidentally burn incense in the ancestral graves of the Mermaid Kingdom?
Or was it that a certain monster on the side of the road happened to be the lifelong enemy of the Mermaid Kingdom, and after he killed it, this NPC force sensed it in the dark?
This didn't make sense.
"Wait."
Irin looked at it, and his frowning brows suddenly relaxed. Then he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"The Mermaid Kingdom? Don't tell me that my surviving teammates are in this country, grinding for fame with the title of 'Hero's Companion'. As they grind, part of the credit will be given to me, right? If they knew about this, they would definitely be in a foul mood right now. "
They really couldn't die.
In the darkness, Irin was relieved.
It was impossible for his reputation value to be brushed to "Respect" for no reason.
The only possibility was that someone else had brushed it, and then some of the benefits fell to him.
It was just like the statue of "Brave Man and Dog" in the moonlight forest.
It was also like the prophecy in the Twin Lions Kingdom that "the brave man and his dog are about to destroy this country".
It was as if the whole world was inseparable from the legend of "The Brave and the Dog".
Irin still could not figure out why he was the Hero and the dog was the dog, but the others were the "Hero's companions".
If this was an adventure, Irin believed that there would be an answer at the end of the adventure.
When the adventure in this world came to an end, what Irin witnessed with his own eyes was not only the end of this game world, but also his lost memories and the answers to all his questions.
"As for now …"
Irin held two daggers.
Behind him, there were countless corpses of Crystal Swallowing Bugs.
The Crystal Devouring Bug had a special "summoning partner" mechanism, similar to the mechanism of the [Tauren Family] in the Endless Swamp.
Under this special mechanism, under normal circumstances, to clear this training area, one must assemble a team with a reasonable combination of professions and focus fire on the Crystal Devouring Bug in a short period of time. One must not give the Crystal Devouring Bug any chance to summon its companions.
Once the Crystal Devouring Bug B was summoned, the following companions, BCDEFG, would be endless and difficult to deal with.
Under normal game mode, the "turn-based" system limited Irin's strength.
Irin's current direction of adding points was all in the direction of a set of combo skills. Under the turn-based system, Irin could only use one skill per round. This was unreasonable and unscientific.
Just as Ah Deng said, one must believe in science.
For Irin at this moment, cheating … uh, no, researching the game's loopholes reasonably was the most scientific science.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Irin could only temporarily separate from Wang Tiandi and go on the road to kill the boss alone.
…
In the darkness, the stone walls of the surrounding mine emitted a hazy gray light.
Irin was not so miserable that he could not see his own fingers in the dark environment.
"It seems that the deeper I go, the denser the Crystal Devouring Bugs are."
Irin used a cheat-like combo skill to kill a Crystal Devouring Bug that had turned into experience points before it could react. He bent down to pick up the spoils of war.
It was a crystal piece that was covered with viscous acid.
[Crystal Fragment in Digestion].
It was a material type item.
As for the use of this material, Irin was not clear.
In the mine, there were many forks in the road that meandered endlessly to the depths.
Other than encountering groups of Crystal Devouring Bugs, Irin did not encounter any other "boss-like" existences.
There was not even a "large Crystal Devouring Bug."
Ordinary Crystal Devouring Bugs could no longer pose any threat to Irin.
With Irin's current level, as long as he did not enter battle mode, with a set of combo skills, no matter how many Crystal Devouring Bugs there were, they could only be regarded as the weakest of the weakest. Irin even yawned while completing a skillful combo skill. It was as if he was using his own arm. Eight moves evolved into one move. It was so natural that the Crystal Devouring Bugs could not help but exclaim.
However, Irin's current level had formed a level suppression on the Crystal Devouring Bugs. The experience points that could be obtained from killing the Crystal Devouring Bugs were greatly reduced. In the end, Irin was too lazy to make a move. He just went around to save crystal energy potions.
Although most of the potions in Irin's bag were borrowed and did not cost any money. But this was the fruit of labor, wasn't it? It also made Irin spend a lot of effort. If he could save it, he would save it. It was shameful to waste it.
The depths of the cave were like a maze.
The deeper you went, the more complicated the path was. There was no way to find the end.
"If this goes on, it will be troublesome."
Irin went around another monster.
In the darkness, the effect of the "Shadow Following" skill was brought to the extreme. In addition, Irin was good at stealth. In this environment, it was like returning to his own home. There was no pressure at all when he went around.
In the air, there was a strange smell. It was like there was a faint smell of feces. It came from the cracks of the stones. The deeper he went, the more obvious the smell became. Originally, this smell should be very difficult to detect. However, in the airtight cave, the faint smell of feces gradually fermented and filled every fork in the mine.
Irin suddenly regretted it.
It seemed too early to leave Wang Tiandi behind.
Wang Tiandi's dog nose was extremely sensitive to smells. He should be able to detect something strange.
However, Irin thought about it again. If he did not leave Wang Tiandi behind and go deeper alone, Wang Tiandi's two green dog eyes would be like fireflies in the dark. It was so eye-catching. It was impossible for the monsters not to discover them.
"Eh? What are these little bugs doing? "
Irin wandered aimlessly in the maze-like fork in the road. Inadvertently, Irin discovered that the movements of these Crystal Devouring Bugs seemed to follow a certain pattern.
After noticing the strange movements of the Crystal Devouring Bugs, Irin stopped and gently leaned against the stone wall. He held his breath. His body seemed to be completely integrated into the darkness of the stone wall.
"Ka Ka Ka —"
"Chirp Chirp Chirp Chirp —"
In the depths of the mine, the density of the Crystal Devouring Bugs was beyond imagination. For example, if Irin used the "turn-based combat" to rush out now, the halo would fall. It was estimated that a casual cover could trap nearly ten Crystal Devouring Bugs.
Although in the turn-based combat, Irin was still fighting alone. However, the deeper he went, the more it became Irin fighting a "group of Crystal Devouring Bugs" and not "one Crystal Devouring Bug". From this, it could be seen how terrifying the density of the monsters was.
The normal deduction method, coupled with the deceptive mechanism of the Crystal Devouring Bugs, could not be deduced to this position.
It was no wonder that the crisis of the abandoned crystal mine would give the five great engineers in the Great Engineer Tower such a headache. They had to wait for the "players" to solve it.
It was reasonable, reasonable, and in line with the rules of the game.
Before, Irin was only focused on killing monsters and almost did not pay attention to the movements of the Crystal Devouring Bugs. However, when Irin was too lazy to kill the monsters and began to observe the movement patterns of the Crystal Devouring Bugs, these Crystal Devouring Bugs, which gradually increased in number and gathered into small groups, began to reveal many strange clues.
A few tentacles protruded from the head of the round Crystal Devouring Bugs. A few Crystal Devouring Bugs, whose gender could not be distinguished, used their tentacles to tease, tease, and play with each other. It was unknown whether they were mating or communicating. In short, they were having a lot of fun.
Irin calmed down and continued to observe.
A few minutes later.
The Crystal Devouring Bugs, who had finished their communication, began to move.
One of the Crystal Devouring Bugs suddenly drilled into the stone wall and moved quickly in the hard soil. On the stone wall, as the Crystal Devouring Bugs moved in the soil, the surface of the stone wall was cracked. It seemed that the inside of the stone wall was pushed open.
Soon, the Crystal Devouring Bugs that were raging in the stone wall drilled out of the surface of the stone wall again. They opened their mouths and bit the ground. Between their sharp teeth, a slightly shiny crystal mixed with sticky secretion was spat out on the ground.
Irin quietly approached.
"Crystal debris? So this is the way the Crystal Devouring Bugs collect crystals? Oh, after all, this used to be a crystal mine. It is not surprising that they can dig out crystal debris from the soil. But what is it doing after eating it and then spitting it out? Is it stuffed? "
Irin, who was hiding in the darkness, slowly typed a question mark.
But he did not beat the grass and startled the bugs. After drinking a bottle of crystal energy to replenish his crystal energy value, he continued to hide in the dark.
After the first Crystal Devouring Bug that drilled into the soil spat out crystal debris mixed with saliva, its tentacles trembled quickly as if it was expressing something. The rest of the Crystal Devouring Bugs looked at each other. There were several other Crystal Devouring Bugs that followed the path of the first Crystal Devouring Bug and quickly drilled into the soil.
There was only one Crystal Devouring Bug left.
The lone Crystal Devouring Bug, without any hesitation, rolled its long tongue on the ground and quickly swallowed the disgusting crystal debris into its stomach.
This scene was somewhat like the scene of an anteater swallowing ants on TV.
While Irin was pondering what these Crystal Devouring Bugs were doing.
The stone wall trembled.
The Crystal Devouring Bugs that entered the stone wall drilled out of the stone wall one after another and spat on the ground respectively. After leaving pieces of crystal debris on the ground, they drilled back into the stone wall again, repeating the process over and over again.
Gradually.
The Crystal Devouring Bug that initially stayed in the cave tunnel and swallowed the crystal debris spat out by the other Crystal Devouring Bugs became rounder and rounder.
Until it burped contentedly.
"Full, full?"
…
…
On the other side.
Pan Xiaozheng went online again.
During this time, in order to stop Pan Zhengyi from messing around in the shelter, Oda Wu's backhand knocking skill became more and more proficient.
After a simple inquiry.
"So."
"You haven't been to the 'Inner World' for more than a month?"
After receiving the same answer from the three people and one dog, Irin frowned deeply and fell into deep thought.
