Chapter 345: Defeated, Terrifying Swarm!
"Rustle!"
The voice, which had been heard a little bored, sounded again, and under Richard's gaze, the fourth batch of beetles burrowed out of the ground.
This time, the beetle was larger than the previous one, and its entire shell was a patch of silver, making it look extremely sturdy. The gaze revealed in the eyes, with extreme madness and irritability, opened the mouthparts, revealing sharp teeth sticking to the saliva and rushing up.
Richard's expression became solemn, and he could clearly feel that this fourth batch of silver-shell beetles was not ordinary, far exceeding the strength of the previous three batches.
In an instant, Richard activated all of the Amplification Patterns of the First Ring.
The Lightness of the Wind, the Brute Force of the Wind, Pierce's Nerve Sensitivity, Accelerated Recovery, and Baiting Boiling Blood Technique were released at the same time.
Richard felt lightness, tightness in his arms, and pain in his skin, and then his heart rate began to increase and his blood boiled.
"Whew-"
Billowing white steam exhaled from his mouth and nose, and Richard swung his sword, slashing at the fastest beetle with a thousand powers.
"Poof!"
The blade of the big sword cut into the beetle's body, but it only cut into a dozen centimeters - the defense of the silver-shell beetle's body increased several times compared to the previous beetle, and even if it was cut with all its strength, it could not be killed.
"It's a bit of a hassle. Richard thought to himself and tried to withdraw his greatsword and attack again, but by this time the rest of the silver-shelled beetles had already poured up like a tide.
Richard snapped his lips open and closed, unleashing the "Wind Knockback" spell, causing the air around him to condense and shoot out like a wall, swatting all the silver-shelled beetles it was used for.
"Poof!"
Richard withdrew his greatsword, raised it high, and slashed it with all his strength for the second time, following the wound of the first attack, and successfully split the unlucky silver-shelled beetle that was attacked in half.
At this time, the many silver-shelled beetles that were "repelled by the wind" had regained their mobility after landing, and they stuck to it again like kraft candy.
Richard looked at the large number of silver-shelled beetles, and felt very troubled, although he did not feel that he could not be defeated, but it must take a lot of physical strength and energy to do it.
His lips opened and closed, and with a wave of his hand, the "Wind Repulsion" was released again, knocking back the silver-shelled beetle for the second time, and with a flip of his hand, a small tube of potion appeared in his hand, golden in color - the blood of the gods!
With the blood of the gods in his hand, Richard hesitated whether to drink it: although the amplification ability of the blood of the gods is strong, the price is also very large, and once the dose is used too much, it may take a long time to recover.
Thinking of this, Richard put away the blood of the gods and took out the Spartan warrior potion.
"Smack!"
Richard pulled out the stopper, drank a whole tube of Spartan Warrior Elixir, increased his strength, and rushed at the silver-shelled beetle with his great sword.
"Puff puff ......"
After a full ten minutes......
The battle is over.
The big sword was stuck on the ground, and Richard was standing, taking out a large amount of salty water from the spatial iron ring and drinking it, and at the same time taking out the preserved fruit to chew, and swallowing it into his stomach expressionlessly to replenish his energy.
Richard now realized that exploring the underground space of the cemetery would most likely be a war of attrition, perhaps lasting more than a dozen hours or even days. Then from now on, he must be prepared accordingly.
Thinking like this, after replenishing it, Richard prepared to go deep into the tomb with a bit of curiosity. After all, since entering this hall, he has been pestered by batch after batch of beetles, and he has not gone to the rest of the place at all.
As a result, Richard had just taken a step, and before he could fall, he saw the floor of the hall slowly shake, followed by a sound.
This time, it was no longer the sound of "rustling", but "rustling" - countless beetles approaching.
This!
"Whoa......
The sound was getting closer and louder, and Richard's eyes widened, and he saw that in the other corridor of the hall, opposite the way from which he came, a dense crowd of beetles appeared, of all types: ordinary black-shell beetles, strengthened silver-line beetles, elite double-silver-line beetles, and extremely difficult silver-shell beetles......
If the previous batches of beetles were just squads, the beetles that appeared now are completely an army, numbering hundreds or thousands, and they are not capable of being defeated at all, even if they can kill a dozen or dozens of them with a sword, they will quickly fall into the encirclement and be devoured.
After all, it was impossible to tell if the beetle could actually be killed - Richard saw that among the swarm, there was an additional golden beetle, as large as a lamb, and it was guarded by the rest of the beetles, and it was imposing. Obviously, the golden beetle is more difficult than the silver shell beetle, and it may take the blood of the gods to break through the opponent's defenses.
That's it!
Richard's eyes narrowed, thinking about the previous batches of beetles, and the swarms that appeared now, and couldn't help but guess: Anyway, the previous batches of beetles didn't just accidentally discover his invasion and attack him, so it was very stupid to send batches of people to death in a row. And now, it was the entire swarm that noticed his presence and unceremoniously attacked the whole army, ready to kill him.
That......
Richard flipped his hand, and a large white jade piece appeared in his palm, which was engraved with intricate magic patterns.
Richard activated the magic pattern on the white jade piece and threw it with all his might, causing the white jade piece to fall into the swarm.
"Boom!"
A huge explosion was born, like a thunderclap on the ground, and the entire hall and the corridor connecting the insect swarm were violently shaken, and the shock wave swept through everything, and the flames spread, taking the lives of hundreds of beetles.
Magic Pattern Spell, One Ring Intermediate Rank, Meteor Flame Explosion Technique!
This is the most powerful attack spell that Richard has mastered so far, and it must be unleashed with the help of magic patterns, and the power is obviously amazing, but it does not have much effect on the swarm.
The number of swarms is really too much, even if hundreds of beetles die, the rest of the beetles can quickly fill the gap and continue to rush.
Richard looked at the swarm, his eyes narrowed, and he was aware of the danger. The next moment, Richard also simply released the "Wind Knockback" one after another, repelling the beetles that rushed in front of him, and then threw out a few white jade tablets engraved with the "Meteor Flame Explosion Technique", using the powerful explosion to slow down the speed of the insect swarm's attack, and quickly retreated towards the entrance.
"Da da da......" Richard ran quickly.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa......" The beetle chased wildly.
"Boom ......" explosions rang out from time to time.
......
It's been a long time.
Richard managed to exit the passage and return to the surface.
Later, Richard found that the beetle did not rush out, but chased it some distance away from the exit, and voluntarily retreated to the depths of the tomb, as if it was firmly carrying out the protection work.
In this case, there are good and bad.
The good thing is that you don't have to worry about exposing the tombs. The downside is that in order to explore the catacombs, you have to deal with the huge, almost impossible to determine the number of biters and other unknown monsters. If you want to smash Huanglong in a way that regulates the tiger away from the mountain, it is unattainable.
So......
Richard stood next to the tombstone, looked at the tombstone of Alex's main line and thought for a long time, and released the "Earth and Stone Control" spell to repair the exposed underground passage to normal, turned around and quickly left the cemetery.
Richard had already made a decision in his mind about what to do with the treasure in the cemetery.
