Chapter Eighty-Six: The Ghost Water Fat Warrior
According to the information feedback from the mind of the main nest, the thousands of stinging snakes that Xue Hua had placed in the rear to help the king worm get out of the trap had just suddenly been attacked by a large group of monsters from the oasis jungle.
These attacking monsters Xue Hua are also very familiar with, they are those insect-type monsters that have made Xue Hua's eggs hurt a lot in the game - Water Fertilizer Warriors.
If you had to put all the monsters in the Aranok Desert out of a ranking of the "most troublesome for professionals", this guy would be number one, and his position would be almost unshakable.
Especially for melee professionals, the intimidation of a large group of water and fertilizer warriors is no worse than that of the Hell Demon King's deity - no matter which one they encounter, it will be a death anyway......
It is impossible to know what the prototype of these monsters, which look like giant beetles rising from a human being, before they are polluted by the energy of hell.
Because no scholar remembers that such a terrible creature existed in the desert of Aranok.
They are fast, heavily armoured, and unlike in the game, in reality, these beetle-looking monsters do have insect wing sheaths.
This means... They can fly!
Yes, although they can't fly far or high, they do be able to glide short distances, and this ability undoubtedly greatly enhances their maneuverability.
Coupled with their "discharge" attribute that is exactly the same as in the game, it's not too disgusting, yes?
Generally speaking, if a professional squad of about five people encounters more than 30 water and fertilizer warriors during the expedition, it will have to take a detour, and if it is unfortunate that these monsters are discovered first and have to fight, they basically have to use up all the medicine supplies in the team, and finally they can barely win the battle.
Their short-range gliding ability makes it difficult for melee classes like Paladins and Barbarians in the front row to block their raids on the back row of the squad, and once ranged classes like Amazon and Mage are in close quarters by these monsters, it's almost impossible for them to concentrate on their ranged firepower.
Moreover, these monsters are not only strong in defense, but also sharp in their teeth, and the fragile little body of the ranged professional can't withstand their gnaw at all.
So unless there are necromancers or summoning druids on the team, no professional team is willing to provoke such disgusting things.
Luckily, these monsters are usually only found near oases with water sources, and are rarely seen in the vast desert.
No one knows why, because the projection of monsters should not have any requirements for the living environment under normal circumstances, they are not real creatures, just projections after energy materialization.
Therefore, they don't actually need to eat or drink, and the reason why some monsters will eat the corpses of humans or other creatures is just the biological instinct from the body.
Either way, it's good news, at least for those who aren't ready to venture into the far-flung oasis without fear of facing a horde of such monsters.
However, for those who are already in the Oasis Zone, or even those who have already encountered these beetle monsters, this news is obviously of little use.
All these unlucky people have to do is to find a way to save themselves immediately, so as not to become a good meal in the mouths of these horrible bugs.
Of course, all of the above has nothing to do with Xue Hua, although these monsters are indeed difficult to deal with, but are the swarms vegetarians?
For the insect swarm that is about to reach level ten in the upgrade and evolution, not to mention that there are only a few hundred water and fertilizer warriors attacking, even if there are tens of thousands of them, it only takes a minute for the insect swarm to nibble on them.
The lightning charged bullets released on their bodies will have no effect at all on the Zerg units that are now greatly resistant, and at most they can only paralyze small units such as jumping insects a little.
The reason why the stinging snake issued the alarm of "being attacked" like Xue Hua was not those water and fat warriors at all.
Not an "ordinary" water fertilizer warrior, to be precise.
The threat to the stinging snake group is actually more than a dozen elite water and fat warriors with a blue halo on their bodies, these elite monsters are larger than ordinary monsters of the same kind, the carapace on their bodies is also shiny, their mouthparts are very sharp, and the front ends of the two sharp and slender appendages are covered with sickle-like toe claws.
However, the most striking thing is their translucent bodies.
That's right, these elite water and fat warriors are like ghosts, their bodies are actually blue and black translucent, and Xue Hua can even see the jungle behind them through the bodies of several elite monsters.
What the hell is this?
Ghost Water Fat Warrior?
Xue Hua was a little stunned: Could this be a new monster that has not appeared in the game?
However, regardless of whether they are a new type of monster or not, anyway, just these dozen or so elite monsters have already disturbed the entire group of stinging snakes.
Because the needles shot by the stinging snakes can't hit their bodies at all, and even if they do, they will only pass through their bodies without causing any damage to them.
On the contrary, their attacks can actually hurt the stinging snakes - more than a dozen stinging snakes have fallen under the claws of these strange "ghost" water fat warriors.
"Isa, can you analyze it? What the hell are these things? ”
Xue Hua ordered the swarm to come forward to support immediately, while frowning and asking the adjutant in the mind of the main nest.
"Domination, all the hostile creatures that the swarm is currently facing are not pure 'living beings', they are just projections of energy embodied under the influence of the rules of the world, among these projections, most of them are materialized energy combinations with dual characteristics of physics and energy, but there are also a very small number of hostile creatures, they have little or no physical characteristics, only pure energy characteristics.
The form of this monster is extremely unstable, and it can be gathered and dispersed according to its own will, so it is difficult to deal effective damage to them by physical means......"
Isha quickly explained, and quickly came up with a solution to the problem - the inhibition spores of the toadstool insects can effectively inhibit the morphological changes of these monsters, because no matter what form they exist, they always need to consume energy, and as long as the energy in the target area is drained, they will not be able to absorb the energy consumed by changing form from the outside world.
Upon receiving the suggestion, Xue Hua immediately summoned the toadstools and asked them to release inhibition spores directly into the area where the swarm was located.
Hundreds of inhibitory spores quickly exploded between the swarms, and the pale blue inhibitory bacterial mist quickly dispersed.
This move was really effective, and the ghost water and fertilizer warriors who were contaminated by the antibacterial mist immediately re-condensed from the transparent form into entities.
Then, the stinging snakes seized the opportunity to directly use the armor-piercing spines to gather fire, and after a burst of lightning, all the elite water and fertilizer warriors were beaten into a sieve.
And without the interference of these troublesome monsters, the remaining ordinary water and fertilizer warriors were not enough to stuff the teeth of the insect swarm, and they were quickly overwhelmed by the cockroach swarm and the jumping insect swarm.
As for the trapped king worm in the sky, when the stinging snakes were relieved of their troubles and began to regain their anti-air firepower, those eager ones quickly followed in the footsteps of the water and fertilizer warriors, and large patches of small insects rained down from the sky, and the black "clouds" around the king worm thinned at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After more than ten minutes, this "hospitable" oasis finally returned to a calm state, but the monster corpses and charred trees all over the ground showed that nothing had happened here.
