Players who saw it passing by dodged the flying winged insects in the air as if they had seen a ghost.
Damn, it's either human skin or dried corpses. These bugs are quite frugal, they've eaten it all up!
It's worth mentioning that, although both are level 2 Zerg, killing a Spikeweed grants 5 points, while killing a level 3 Flyingwing grants 10.
As expected, the new world is more dangerous, but also more rewarding. When this game ends, the players will have plenty of points!
Turning our attention back, besides the [Blow Needle], Xiao Jin also obtained two new items: the [Protective Shield] on the Iron Beetle and the [Restore Wings] on the Flying Wing Beetle.
Protective shield
Type: Defense
Grade: Blue
Number of uses: 3
Note: After activation, a protective shield with a radius of one meter will appear around the player, lasting for one minute, during which the player will be immune to most damage.
The [Shield] is shaped like a dark black sphere. For players who are still in the early stages, it is a very powerful defensive item, which explains why it has a limited number of uses.
However, this type of protective shield also has obvious drawbacks.
That is, when encountering absolute force, such as that of a giant centipede, or repeated high-intensity blows, the protective shield may break prematurely.
Let's look at another one.
[Restore Wings]
Grade: Blue
Uses: Disposable consumable
Note: This will restore a small amount of the player's health upon use.
Its appearance is that of a pair of transparent wings the size of a dragonfly, as thin as cicada wings, emitting a faint transparent luster, which is much more beautiful than what is seen on flying wing insects.
Xiao Jin stared at the prop, lost in thought.
Currently, players do not have a health/vitality value on their character panel. It's unclear whether this value has not yet appeared or is a hidden stat.
Given the previous system update, Xiao Jin reserved her opinion for the time being.
...
After killing for half a day, Xiao Jin obtained a total of twelve [Blow Needles], eight [Protective Shields], and five [Restore Wings].
To be honest, the drop rate was really low, but Xiao Jin didn't care. Something was better than nothing, and the points were pretty good too.
However, after passing these low-level insectoids on the outside, Xiao Jin encountered the sickle insects again.
The closer they got to the center, the more cautious Xiao Jin needed to be. The further they went, the stronger the insectoids they encountered became, but with his previous experience fighting the sickle worms, Xiao Jin was much more composed this time.
Her ghostly figure darted about, attracting the attention of the two sickle worms. Xiao Jin then stopped and decisively dragged them aside to kill them.
Following this method, Xiao Jin killed four more.
At that moment, all the team leaders heard the same voice.
"Attention, the four squads on the northwest side, advance forward. Those on the east side, slow down. Other players, kill the green Zerg around you."
To distinguish between the two factions, the game thoughtfully adds a marker above the Zerg's head: a finger-length green and black rhombus-shaped crystal floating above all Zerg heads.
Zhan Wenchen finally spoke through the headset, and the players promptly switched their targets.
Xiao Jin did not act on his own initiative, but instead followed Zhan Wenchen's advice and set his sights on the advanced Zerg of the Green Team.
Previously, the Black King Insects were indeed at a disadvantage. Not only did the players kill many of their insectoids, but Xiao Jin had also noticed that the two high-level insectoids were indeed no match for the giant centipede.
Not only was it injured, but every time the giant centipede swung its body, it also took away a lot of low-level insectoids.
Over the next few hours, the players kept switching sides as Zhan Wenchen instructed. Xiao Jin's hands were sore from killing so many people that she had no idea how many points she had earned.
'boom!'
At that moment, a streak of fire fell from the horizon and crashed into the center of the battlefield, affecting many Zerg.
Standing on high ground, Zhan Wenzhen received a prompt from Sun Minghui, his expression changed, and he decisively gave the order.
"Everyone, immediately retreat to the edge of the battlefield and await instructions."
Although it was unclear why, after several hours of fighting, the players had clearly begun to trust Zhan Wenzhen, and they all withdrew from the Zerg army with heavy expressions.
Xiao Jin looked thoughtfully at the spot where the flames were burning. As if she had thought of something, she turned and ran away. Although she was the closest to the inside, she reached the edge faster than the other players when she ran out.
When passing Cen Nian, Xiao Jin didn't forget to grab the child's carrier and carry her away.
Cen Nian, who was suddenly lifted into the air: "..."
Xiao Jin stopped, placed the person behind him, and then looked ahead.
Sensing someone approaching, Xiao Jin glanced over and saw Zhan Wenchen standing beside her with Sun Minghui, while Sui Feng, carrying two hammers, joined in the fun on the other side.
Seeing Xiao Jin looking at him, Sui Feng grinned and gave her a thumbs up.
So ugly!
Xiao Jin, who is secretly a sucker for good looks, decided to look at the child for a while to cleanse her eyes. As for Zhan Wenchen on the other side, she was afraid that looking at him too much would change the color of her eyes.
After all, one becomes corrupted by one's surroundings!
Seemingly sensing Xiao Jin's rejection, Zhan Wenzhen chuckled softly.
"I don't think I've ever offended you, so why do you dislike me so much?"
Xiao Jin kept her eyes straight ahead: "I don't like talking to complicated people; it's too much of a brain drain."
"Pfft~" Sui Feng covered his dry mouth: "That's right, for people like us with small brains, we usually just say whatever we think. Listening to you talk is too tiring."
He then strode over to Xiao Jin and raised his hand to put it on her shoulder.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jin seemed to have eyes in the back of her head. Sui Feng's arm missed its mark, and his burly body staggered. Now, he was the one in an awkward situation.
Xiao Jin: "Sorry, I have a big brain."
A slight smile appeared on Zhan Wenchen's lips.
"Cough cough cough~" Sui Feng tried to change the subject.
"Xiao Bai... uh, Zhan Wenzhen, what did you find? Is there something strange in there?" I almost let slip the words "pretty boy".
Zhan Wenchen's expression was not good. He replied indifferently, "The King Insects are back. Neither of them died. However, the balance has already begun to tilt."
Although none of them are dead yet, the player will have a chance if one of them becomes disadvantaged.
"What should we do? Kill them now?"
"I can't kill him!" Xiao Jin shook his head.
Zhan Wenzhen chimed in, "Yes, let alone the Queen Insect, players can't even get involved in the battle between those three high-level Zerg. Didn't you notice? All the dead were low-level Zerg."
Although all three advanced Zerg were injured, none of their wounds were fatal, and they were actually observing the situation.
"Then continue killing the surrounding Zerg?"
"That won't work either. There are only three hours left in the game. Who knows how long it will take for them to end the battle on their own?"
