Chapter 143 A "Guest" from Another Region
When Rong Yi arrived at this high-end instance, all his attention was drawn to everything happening around him, and he didn't even have time to look at the instance quest.
[Instance: Visitors from Outland]
Task duration: One year
Basic task: Obtain resources
Basic Rewards: None
Failure penalty: None]
Are all high-end dungeons like this? The task is to simply and directly obtain resources, without discussing rewards or failures. It's completely different from the tasks we saw in the early stages.
However, judging from the insect's growth rate, it would be really difficult to complete the task. It's hard to say whether it can even survive for a year.
Furthermore, in her understanding, insects reproduce extremely quickly.
Most of the people in this area had fled, and Rong Yi could hear screams coming from upstairs. It seemed that the situation on the floor where the meteorite fell was quite bad.
Rong Yi put away his gun and saw the office building security guards rushing inside, occasionally talking into their walkie-talkies.
She walked to the corpse that was now just an outer skin, used an iron rod to break open the insect carcass, and found a gel-like substance in the location of the insect's brain.
Suddenly, knowledge about insects popped into my mind: the Savage Insect Clan, this is the larval stage, not yet fully condensed into an insect crystal. After eating, they can only condense a complete insect crystal half an hour later.
Rong Yi stood up: "..."
What's going on? How did she suddenly acquire knowledge about these insects?
After looking at the human corpses, then at the insect corpses: the ferocious insects love fresh flesh and blood. Whenever they land on a planet with life, they first eat living creatures, followed by plants and various mineral resources.
What the hell?
Rong Yi immediately contacted the gray text, "What's going on? How do I know about these insects? Have I seen these things before?"
[I've not only seen them, but I've killed quite a few. But they're valuable. Their shells and all the flesh inside are useful, especially the insect crystals. They're small but full of energy. They reproduce extremely quickly during their devouring period. Even with you so-called players constantly hunting them, this world is almost doomed.]
So fierce!
Is this what a high-end dungeon looks like? Rong Yi listened to Hui Zi's words and collected all the insect meat.
After doing all that, she got up and walked towards the office building that had been hit by the meteorite.
Panicked crowds poured out of the stairwell and ran outside, their faces filled with terror, as if something horrible was chasing them.
People ran out of the building screaming meaninglessly, while Rong Yi walked against the crowd into the building. At this moment, no one was in the mood to stop her.
At this moment, her detection function came online, and a clear map unfolded before her eyes. The red dots were all energy beings, the white dots were ordinary humans, and there were some blue dots, which were players of the same type.
The map shows that the insects are mostly on the top floor, and there are also insects within a few hundred meters.
Among the moving red dots on the rooftop, besides those clustered together, there was an exceptionally large red dot indicating that it was fixed in a certain place, which was likely a meteorite.
As he approached the stairs, a door opened, and a group of panicked people poured out. Once they were all gone, Rong Yi calmly put his hands in his pockets and went inside.
Upon reaching the top floor, the stench of blood filled the air.
After she came out, the elevator started stopping at each floor, which is enough to show how many people were hoping to escape by taking the elevator.
Since he hadn't been in Obsidian City for long and thought he could rest for a few more days, Rong Yi dressed casually. The gray-text system sold clothes that looked no different from regular clothes, but their functions were much higher than those sold in Obsidian City.
Wearing a grey and white hooded sweatshirt and matching casual pants, she looks like a girl who's ready to start her morning run at any time.
The top floor seemed to have been booked by this company. A quick glance around revealed a spacious office area, but it was now a mess, with blood splattered everywhere and many uncongealed bloodstains on the tiled floor.
Rong Yi silently put on his mask; the fishy smell was too strong.
"Thump thump thump..."
The sound of multi-legged creatures walking across the floor could be heard, and there was more than one.
Rong Yi took a few steps forward and looked around. He could see fragments of clothing, and apart from blood, he could not see any other human tissue.
She took out the Blazing Melt, without unsheathing it, and tossed it gently into the air before it landed back in her hand.
"Ferocious insects, fierce insects, where are you?" These words were uttered as if singing a folk song.
Soon, the first carnivorous insect appeared around the corner. Unlike the carnivorous insects seen downstairs whose shells were not yet hardened, this one had a hardened shell. The black shell protected its entire body like a solid suit of armor. It was about the size of a large watermelon, and its claws had become sharp. Wherever it passed, it left small holes, all made by its claws.
Upon seeing a living person, the juvenile carnivorous insect excitedly opened its mouthparts, and its claws on both sides of its plump body moved forward rapidly.
Rong Yi pulled out the scabbard, and the blade of the dagger burst out with scorching heat, distorting the surrounding air, but she felt no discomfort at all, instead experiencing a kind of exhilarating pleasure.
Several charging worms stopped in their tracks, a subconscious fear rising within them of the food before them.
Seeing that they weren't moving, Rong Yi snapped his fingers. "What are you standing there for? Go!"
Being juvenile ferocious insects, a few of them, upon hearing the sound, suppressed their fear with their hunger, pressed down and sprang towards Rong Yi with their claws.
Rong Yi gripped the dagger in reverse and slashed it from top to bottom. The head and neck of the ferocious insect, baring its fangs and claws, separated from its body and fell to the ground. No bodily fluids oozed from the wound; instead, a layer of black scab-like substance condensed.
The other ferocious insects had already jumped up. Rong Yi aimed at each one, and every time his arm moved, one of the ferocious insects died.
After dealing with the dozen or so ferocious insects on one side, more ferocious insects began to emerge on the other side.
ยท
There were more than eighty juvenile ferocious insects on the top floor. After Rong Yi dealt with them, he discovered that the clothes piled up by the people who had not escaped had all been eaten clean by these insects, leaving not even a piece of flesh.
The larvae are "delicate" and do not eat these clothes.
This thought popped into Rong Yi's mind.
With the help of the detection map, no insects could sneak up on her, and Rong Yi killed them very smoothly.
"The more processes I unlock, the more accessibility features will be added, right?"
"We'll talk about it when you can unlock it," the gray text replied arrogantly.
Rong Yi was in a good mood, his fingers constantly twirling the blade into beautiful patterns. "Well, having this weapon is good enough."
She absolutely adored the dagger.
Rong Yi didn't rush to collect the insect corpses, but instead found the meteorite embedded in the ground.
She took out the meteorite, which was not too big and could be held in one hand. Rong Yi was not afraid that a ferocious insect would crawl out of it. In her mind, the larvae could not bite through her skin.
The meteorite was cut in half by molten metal, and the unhatched insect eggs were destroyed by the high temperature of the molten metal surface.
Rong Yi picked off the insect eggs that had been burned into black scabs. The scabs were extremely hot; even a weak person could suffer severe burns from touching them. The scabs that fell onto the ceramic floor had blackened the surface of the floor.
After examining the surviving eggs inside, she discovered that they were all war bugs of the ferocious insect race, which is the largest component of this species.
"pity."
She didn't know what she was regretting, but subconsciously threw the meteorite into her storage compartment, thinking that the insect eggs were valuable and shouldn't be thrown away.
Rong Yi stood up, dusted off his pants, collected all the insect corpses, and prepared to continue searching for the meteorite.
