Chapter 585: End of Summer Heat (10)
So now she was thinking about doing the same thing, pulling out her two most powerful legs, and naturally she couldn't jump anymore.
Won't you be at the mercy of others by then? !
But things went against our wishes.
Without strong enough defense, the Red-Gold Locust became absolutely aggressive.
Not to mention its bite force, the barbs on its hind legs are not to be trifled with.
At first, Wang Wenwen took the lead, relying on the super high defense of her combat suit to ignore the attacks and attack hard.
"Don't always grab the hind legs!"
Shu Lingyi did not ignore the trembling antennae of the red-gold locust and its eyes that were glowing scarlet light.
The locusts outside covered the sky and earth, making it dark and difficult to see the light.
These scarlet eyes were as bright as the flame of a lantern.
But it's also creepy.
Shu Ling was about to reach Wang Wenwen, but at this moment cracks of varying degrees appeared on the ground.
Hundreds of scarlet eyes emerged from the ground, one of which was right under Shu Lingyi's feet.
"Why is it here too?! Ah—my hand!"
Everyone sitting here was a player taking a break. It would be fine if they had just rested for a while, but I was afraid that they had just retreated from the territory and were preparing to take a rest.
"I'll go to the front to protect them..." Zhong Qing had not seen this situation, but he knew the situation was urgent, so he rushed out quickly with weapon in hand.
Shu Ling shot arrows one by one. God probably gave her this favor and she finally triggered a skill.
The arrow emitted the sound of a bird singing, clear and melodious, yet sharp enough to pierce the body of a locust.
The arrows pierced through the heads of three red-gold locusts in one breath, saving the three surviving players.
"Those whose combat uniforms are worn out should change them quickly. Those who are injured should go to the straw hut over there for treatment. Sister Zhao Zhao is there."
Jun Xiaogu also stood up. The thatched hut over there was a temporary one. Red Bean Cake was leading the pheasants to guard it, and there was also an eighth-level scarecrow placed there.
Many red-gold locusts emerged from the ground in the territory, and she couldn't help but look at the public screen message nervously.
I'm afraid that other places will be invaded by level 8 locusts. If players like me are fighting on the front line, wouldn't it be a headache if our homes were robbed when we return home?
Fortunately, the public screen is calm for the time being, and Yunbao, Cai Li and others all said that there is nothing unusual.
[Cai Cai Cai Li]: "It should be the scarecrow's role. I remember the big boss in front of me. Don't you have a scarecrow?"
Shu Ling suddenly realized that she was so nervous and anxious that she forgot that she also needed to place a scarecrow on her side.
He knew that there were always level eight monsters returning from the brink of death, so he felt fearless - but who would have expected that such a big mistake would happen in this gap.
Before she could make another scarecrow and place it here, she received news from Zhong Qingwei at the front line.
[So redundant]: "There is no follow-up to the Jade Locusts outside...but the number of Earth Locusts is starting to increase."
Shu Ling raised his head and looked at the jade locusts that were still covering the sky outside, and felt extremely oppressive.
However, the decrease in the number of Jade Locusts is a good thing, but it also means that the Red-Gold Locusts are coming in full force.
If other game areas are not prepared in advance, the earth locusts will ignore the protective shield and invade the territory to launch an attack, and the players will naturally have no intention of continuing to fight the jade locusts.
If everything in the territory is eaten up, the protective shield will naturally collapse.
Without the protective shield, even if the territory players survive, they will have nothing left for the future.
What's more, without the protective shield, the Jade Locusts would have no hindrance in entering the territory.
Shu Lingyi once again took out a large amount of gold coins to repair the protective shield.
At this time, the eighth-level red-gold earth locust had not yet officially appeared, so she had to block the green jade locust outside.
The number of Jade Locusts seemed to have reached an end soon, and Zhong Qingwei led thousands of players and monsters to eliminate them together.
Shu Ling was fighting against the red-gold locusts in his territory.
The killing power of those level eight red-gold earth locusts was amazing, but they were also very easy to be fooled. The bold ones would split up and lead the way into the woods where there were few player residences and buildings.
The locusts, which had not eaten grass for a long time, were really unable to resist all of a sudden.
"These guys are a bit murderous. They just follow me when I say so?"
Shuling and his group each held a handful of wheat and straw, and scattered a little from time to time as bait.
[Just because locusts eat anything doesn't mean they don't have some preferences. 】
"Oh, I see."
As long as it's effective, everyone is wearing the best combat uniforms, so they are not afraid of fighting with the Red Gold Locusts for a while.
"This one is easy to kill, don't panic, but don't pay attention to the durability of your combat uniform!"
If Shu Lingyi hadn't shot the arrow quickly, accurately and fiercely, Wang Wenwen would have lost half of her arm.
Shu Lingyi wasn't quite sure what the situation was, but he was hurriedly sent to find Jing Zhao.
All we know now is that Lu Yi was so anxious that he killed the locusts indiscriminately.
Some red-gold locusts rushed in and inevitably bit the players. One even jumped up and bit a player on the head.
However, the combat suits made the players greener and stronger, but the amazing bite force could not break the defense——
At that time, many people felt that they saw great doubts in the red eyes of the Red-Gold Locust.
[If you want to speed up the demise of the Jade Locust, you can look at the materials dropped by these Red Gold Locusts. ]
Xiao Ai’s guidance is always so timely. Just when everyone joined forces to kill an eighth-level red-gold locust.
Red Gold Locust Hind Legs*2, Gold Crystal*1.
"Are there any good things? Just these two?"
There was a fierce battle, and even though the number of jade locusts outside no longer continued to increase, their number was still astonishing.
The players' weapons are extremely difficult to penetrate, so they can only use the chickens, ducks and other locust-killing armies to take action.
But the number of locust-killing troops is already so large, and they are still dying... This means that the pressure on players to kill Jade Locusts will increase as time goes by, but the speed will be slower.
Zhong Qingwei's combat suit could no longer hold up, so he had to return to the territory to rest temporarily.
He didn't see Shu Lingyi, and a trace of worry flashed through his mind.
[So redundant]: "How's the situation over there? Will this red-gold earth locust be difficult to deal with?"
After several minutes, Shu Lingyi finally gave a reply. She directly sent a dagger to Zhong Qingwei.
The material used is dropped by the red-gold locust - the hind limbs of the red-gold locust.
[Yi Ling]: "Although the Earth Locusts have strong attack power, their combat uniforms have amazing defense. Don't worry too much. Just lead them to remote places to avoid damaging houses and buildings."
[Yi Ling]: "And you see, the dagger I made with the materials it dropped is a good thing. I used it to make a batch of axes in bulk."
Zhong Qingwei checked the legendary dagger sent by Shu Lingyi and couldn't help but sigh: Comrade Yi Yi's dagger forging skills are getting better and better.
The probability of withdrawing funds is getting higher and higher.
But after reading the introduction of the dagger, I was even more shocked - locusts generally restrain each other.
The protective gear made of green jade front wings can most effectively resist the attacks of red gold locusts.
However, the weapons made from the hind limbs dropped by the red-gold locust can effectively break the shell of the jade locust.
[So redundant]: "This is a good thing. I think there should be more of this material. I'll use it to process it."
[Yi Ling]: "No problem. I've already distributed the axes to the players who use them frequently. It's better for you to make the other weapons yourself."
[So Redundant]: "No problem, now that the materials have been provided to this extent, give me three hours and I will make sure that all the Jade Locusts disappear!"
Zhong Qing was not exaggerating. The bonus brought by this weapon with the added hind legs of the Red Gold Locust was really huge, giving the player the ability to easily kill those Jade Locusts.
[Yi Ling]: "Waiting for your good news."
Shu Lingyi was still dealing with the red-gold locusts, and everything seemed to be going in a good direction step by step.
With the "help" of the Red-Gold Earth Locust, Zhong Qingwei did as he said and led the players to eliminate the Jade Locusts outside the territory in three hours.
However, the number of red-gold locusts in the territory was growing, and the collected jade front wings were quickly put into the production of combat uniforms.
Luo Zhiqing didn't sleep well during the day, and dark circles appeared on her face.
No one spoke in the tailor shop. Everyone was concentrating on making combat uniforms, fearing that they would not be able to make it in time and cause the death of the players.
Time passed so quickly, and the end of the Beginning of Autumn came around eleven forty.
At this time, there were not many red-gold locusts left in the territory, and only a few of the monster NPCs that refreshed in the game had died. Only the last hundred or so firewood chickens were left, foolishly following the players to search for the location of the red-gold locusts.
"There are still twenty minutes left, just get through it."
Everyone thought so, even Shu Lingyi was no exception.
Until she suddenly received a request for support from the Muye Territory - it was called a request for support, but in fact it meant that the territory could no longer hold on and wanted to seek protection through a merger!
Shu Lingyi still couldn't figure it out, how did things develop to this point? ?
Wasn't everything fine just now?
[If you don't save him, he'll be doomed. ]
But time waits for no one, and Shu Lingyi did not have time to ask Qin Yue what exactly happened.
According to what Xun Qi said, this request for help will only be initiated passively by the Lord's Order if the territory's defense shield can no longer hold up.
The amount of gold coins needed this time is not a small amount. Fortunately, the Shuling territory has made a lot of money recently.
This solar term is extraordinary, and planting crops is much easier than before when we didn't understand anything and couldn't plant anything for the last five or six days.
She has a good amount of tax revenue from all aspects, so it is not impossible for her to provide some support.
Qin Yue is somewhat familiar with many players in the Muye Territory, so he can't just stand by and watch them die.
Shu Lingyi didn't hesitate any longer and directly agreed to the rescue.
Qin Yue didn't know that it was Shu Lingyi who came to the rescue, but she just received support from Territory 001. From then on, Territory 001 had a third division.
The Jade Locusts outside the Muye Territory were confused. They clearly felt that the protective shield that blocked them was about to disappear...
How come it suddenly works again?!
It's a last gasp, right?
Bullying locusts is because you don't know how to do it and you are poor. The jade locusts were very angry and attacked even harder.
Qin Yue led everyone to deal with the jade locusts outside and the red gold locusts inside. He was busy and exhausted from the attacks from both sides.
Their territory does not have as many people as Territory 001, but even its sub-territory has no less people than their territory.
001 also took the initiative to share most of the firepower in the game area, and the flow of materials in all aspects was almost all supplied, minimizing casualties to the greatest extent.
But even so, a lot of players were lost after this incident, and now there are only 5,780 people left in the game area.
Among them, the Dusk Night Territory accounts for a little more than the last digit - 860 people.
The rest are all from Territory 001. Excluding the more than 3,000 people from the Caribbean Territory, there are currently 5,700. This death toll is already very friendly.
Although the last twenty minutes were torturous, every living player was full of hope.
Waiting for the minute hand to move, waiting for the time on the weather forecast to jump to 00:00——
And in these last few minutes, a group of level eight red-gold locusts besieged the tailor shop.
The scarecrow protecting the tailor shop has been destroyed, and the players outside are trying to resist.
When Shu Ling heard that Luo Zhiqing had encountered a group of level eight red-gold locusts, he of course rushed over in a hurry.
Most of the players in the tailor shop are not good at fighting.
There were nearly a dozen men and women, and Luo Zhiqing was the calmest among them.
"Don't panic. Our combat uniforms have high defensive capabilities. They will protect us. Nothing will happen. Don't panic."
Luo Zhiqing comforted everyone with confidence in her good luck.
But the unexpected happened very quickly. An eighth-level red-gold locust leaped directly onto the window, and with a powerful kick of its hind legs, it broke the windshield!
No one in the room has a combat uniform!
"It's over--" This was the mentality of several players outside. Some of them were ready to rush in and stop the Red-Gold Earth Locust with their own bodies.
"Go to hell!" Luo Zhiqing said nothing and swung the axe that Shu Lingyi gave her. This axe was a rare iron axe of legendary quality that Shu Lingyi had.
The materials used are still those dropped by the extremely ferocious Dark Pattern King Tiger, a level seven monster obtained in the last solar term.
With her unexpected luck, she triggered the skill attached to the axe with one strike!
Indistinctly one could see a tiger head roaring towards the sky, and its imposing manner shocked everyone present.
The tiger's head moved forward, and when it opened its mouth, its sharp fangs were exposed, and it bit off the head of the red-gold locust fiercely.
The bright red critical hit combined with the skill damage, Luo Zhiqing's attack made the level 8 red gold earth locust realize what it meant to suffer the consequences of one's own actions.
Challenging the European Emperor will never end well.
Seeing that the red-gold earth locust was decomposed by the purple light of the system, in addition to the normal materials there was actually a blueprint.
"As expected of you, you are the Koi Lady. Your luck is unmatched."
"It's a pity that we can't help with the situation outside. There are still a few minutes left, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Looking through the broken window, the red stripes on the red-gold locusts would make them more conspicuous in the dark.
At this time, with the efforts of the players outside the door, most of them had been killed. The last three were surrounded by the players and were doomed to die.
"Huh... there are only two minutes left, the beginning of summer heat is finally over."
Many people breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that this solar term lasted inexplicably long and was very uncomfortable.
"Qingqing, go and look at your blueprint. The koi fish will surely produce something good!"
Luo Zhiqing walked over with a smile, put away the decomposed materials, and then picked up the drawings to check.
[Dehumidification box: a special box that requires the addition of many medicinal materials, with a beautiful shell and simple production process, but it has special effects. 】
[Effects: It can relieve symptoms affected by humid weather, such as rheumatism, arthritis or neuralgia. It can also dehumidify and absorb moisture, keeping the room relatively dry. The fragrance it emits is also beneficial to the body. ]
[Material: Ceramic outer box*1, desiccant*2, cotton cloth*5, rosin*2, activated carbon*20, aluminum foil*2, lavender*2, patchouli*2, atractylodes*2, perilla*2, wood crystal stone*10. ]
After reading it, Luo Zhiqing was stunned by the long list of materials.
"What is what?"
"It's a dehumidifier box. We've all used it on Blue Star before, right? But this one requires a lot of materials, and it feels a bit powerful."
"A dehumidifier box. This thing is very good for dealing with the return of the south wind, but the return of the south wind...it's autumn now, how can there be a return of the south wind?"
The return of the south wind is no stranger to players in certain areas of Daxia.
While we suffer every year, we have also found many ways to deal with it thanks to the development of technology.
Everyone looked confused, looking at each other.
"The game doesn't necessarily have to follow the usual rules. It doesn't have to be the Return of the South. As long as it meets the conditions of the Return of the South, it will be fine, right?"
"Indeed, I'm tired of going back to the south. I must make more dehumidifier boxes by then!"
Luo Zhiqing smiled. She remembered what Shu Lingyi had told her, that she had drawn up a blueprint for a dehumidifier.
Now there is a dehumidifier box, and I am afraid it is really related to the humidity.
"It's twelve o'clock! Wow, the wind is so cold!"
Twelve o'clock arrived as scheduled. The windshield of the original tailor shop was destroyed by the red-gold locust, so all the wind rushed in at once.
All the players outside hid in the house, rubbing their arms and saying, "I still feel cold in my combat uniforms—"
"I'll repair this tailor shop first." It was very simple for Luo Zhiqing to get the materials she needed. She just needed to send a message to her mother.
