Chapter 302 Demonized Black-winged Insect
Meng Qingyin sent a message in the seven-person group chat: "I just got a ticket to the Tower of Babel. It requires a five-person team. Anyone want to join?"
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "I'm going, take me with you!"
Chen Leying: "I'll go too."
I'm an unlucky person: "Me too!"
The elderly man said, "I'm having a drink with Kim Soo, so I won't go."
Qin Jiu, Chen Leying, and Fei Qiu have joined the team one after another, and there is still one person missing.
Neither Lu Cheng nor Zhang Yan replied to the message.
Meng Qingyin found it a bit strange. Lu Cheng was usually very proactive no matter what he did, so why was he so quiet this time?
And Zhang Yan, who is usually very active, why is he so quiet today?
Mengmeng: "@IamTheLuckyOne(PoorPennyVersion)@ZhangYan, are you going or not? If not, I'll call someone else."
After a long while, Lu Cheng replied: "We're not going yet. Zhang Yan has gone crazy and is dragging me to spar."
Meng Qingyin: "..."
She went to the chat area and shouted, and instantly a flood of messages asking for groups appeared.
She didn't know anything about the Tower of Babel, so she definitely couldn't just pull people in.
She glanced at the players who applied to join the team and noticed several familiar nicknames, including "Mask".
After thinking it over, Meng Qingyin agreed to "Mask's" application to join the team.
[Captain] Mengmeng: "Give me the fare, 10 silver coins."
Tickets to the Tower of Babel are very valuable, so I definitely can't bring people to play for free.
Chen Leying and the others are all friends, and Meng Qingyin won't charge them for the ride, but the "mask" is a different story.
Without saying a word, "Mask" transferred 10 silver coins to her directly.
[Captain] Mengmeng: "Is everything ready?"
[Team Member] Mask: "111"
[Team Member] Drowning His Sorrows in Strong Liquor: "111"
[Team Member] Chen Leying: "1"
[Team Member] I'm Unlucky: "Wait a minute, I'll bring an item."
A few seconds later, Fei Qiu sent a message: "OK!"
Meng Qingyin clicked to use the [Tower of Babel Admission Ticket].
The next moment, a flash of light appeared before their eyes, and when they opened their eyes again, Meng Qingyin and the other four were standing in front of a solemn tower.
The tower was surrounded by a thick layer of black demonic energy. Looking up, the tower soared into the clouds and seemed to have no end in sight.
Everyone's expressions turned serious.
Meng Qingyin reminded everyone: "According to the introduction, each floor of the Tower of Babel is infested with monsters. To ensure safety, we will clear each floor one by one. The higher the floor, the richer the rewards. We have an hour, so we can clear as many floors as we can. But safety comes first."
Everyone nodded, stepped onto the stairs, and entered the tower.
Before we even officially entered, the tower was filled with eerie wails and howls, sending chills down our spines.
Without any hesitation, everyone entered the tower one after another.
Surprisingly, the tower was empty, with no sign of any monsters.
Meng Qingyin was wondering when she heard a prompt:
Welcome to the Tower of Babel. The first floor is guarded by the Demonic Blackwing Insect. Defeat them within half an hour to advance to the second floor. Countdown: 0:29:59.
Upon seeing this prompt, Meng Qingyin once again recalled the scene of being chased and sucked blood by the black-winged beetles.
She hates these bugs the most.
Moreover, what is the difference between the demonized black-winged beetle and the ordinary black-winged beetle?
As his thoughts wandered, the once empty tower suddenly went dark, and countless palm-sized demonic black-winged insects appeared out of nowhere, crowding every inch of the tower's space.
Their bodies were as black as ink, with only pairs of crimson eyes looking over them, which was quite eerie.
The group had already raised their weapons and were fighting the mutated black-winged insects.
As the support, Fei Qiu consciously stood in the middle of the four people and applied buffs to them.
The "mask's" weapon was a long spear. With a flick of the spearhead, several demonized black-winged insects were skewered like lamb skewers. Soon, their corpses disappeared and turned into copper coins.
The spear swept across again, cutting a swarm of demonized black-winged insects in two, leaving behind another pile of copper coins.
Qin Jiu's Phoenix Cry Blade was even more powerful; with each swing, copper coins clattered to the ground.
Chen Leying still held the steel fork, which was much less powerful than Qin Jiu's and "Mask's" steel forks, but she had the mandrill.
The mandrill reached out and grabbed a demonized black-winged beetle. With a gentle pull, the beetle turned into a copper coin.
As for Meng Qingyin...
Putting aside the fact that her heavy sword was already quite powerful, she could kill a whole bunch of cubs with a single bite.
These mutated black-winged insects were no match for them.
The only slight drawback is that the corpses of the demonized black-winged beetles turn into copper coins after they die, which the cubs cannot eat.
The cub can only become stronger by eating monsters, which leads to the cub, who came with the idea of "having a big meal", becoming extremely ferocious because it can't get anything to eat.
In just over ten minutes, the team cleared out the demonized black-winged beetles on the first floor, leaving only copper coins scattered all over the ground.
Looking at the copper coins scattered all over the ground, Meng Qingyin had a headache. It was her first time here, and she didn't know that the copper coins would be mined in this way, and she had to pick them up one by one herself.
Oh well, I'll just consider it as gaining experience.
The group quickly picked up the copper coins and then went to the second floor.
Welcome to the Tower of Babel. The guardian monster on the second floor is a Demon Spider. Defeat them within half an hour to enter the third floor. Countdown: 0:29:59.
Fei Qiu couldn't help but mutter, "Spiders? Looks like they're just trying to wear us down with sheer numbers again..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the empty second floor was covered with dark spiders.
They were about the size of a small dog, and they covered the walls, the ground, the windows and the ceiling. There were even many spiders hanging in mid-air on their silk, as if they had entered a spider cave.
Without saying a word, everyone picked up their weapons and continued fighting.
Like the demonic blackwing beetles on the previous level, the demonic spiders turn into copper coins when killed, but occasionally a few demonic spiders will drop two copper coins after they die.
The little one came out hungry, hoping to have a good meal, but it didn't expect that it couldn't eat any insects or spiders!
The little one was really angry, even more ferocious than when it was on the first floor. It pounced on them, biting and slapping them, taking down a whole bunch at once.
This also improved their team's efficiency, and they took less than ten minutes to defeat the demonized spiders on the second floor.
Surprisingly, when the last spider was killed, a roll of spider silk dropped.
Meng Qingyin put away the spider silk. "We'll decide how to distribute it after we get out. We have about ten minutes left. Let's continue up to the third floor."
It seems that the monsters at lower levels are not strong; they are just slowing down the progress by sheer numbers.
With a little effort, they should be able to take over the third floor as well.
The other four naturally had no objections, quickly picked up the copper coins on the ground, and stepped onto the third floor of the Tower of Babel.
Welcome to the Tower of Babel. The guardian monsters on the third floor are Demonic Dung Beetles. Defeat them within half an hour to enter the fourth floor. Countdown: 0:29:59.
Upon hearing the name, Qin Jiu frowned, her face full of disgust: "Dung beetle? Dung beetle?!"
