Chapter 149 A "Guest" from Another Region
When Ying Mengyun faced Wei Yanqing, her limbs were easily dislocated, leaving her lying on the ground.
Watching Xie Xia leave, and then seeing Rong Yi's shoes appear in front of him, he thought, "Do you want to stay alive?"
Isn’t this nonsense!
Ying Mengyun was no match for them and had no choice but to nod.
"It's simple, leave the money to buy your life." Rong Yi said it casually, as if he were just praising the nice weather.
Ying Mengyun closed her eyes. This money for buying her life must have been a huge sum. She had really lost today.
"Fine!" she said through gritted teeth.
The team lost a key player and had to pay a huge sum to buy his life. Ying Mengyun almost ground her teeth to powder. Moreover, Wei Yanqing could immediately sense that she was lying.
Of course, besides her, her two other teammates also didn't escape. When Rong Yi questioned them, they obediently handed over the money to buy their lives.
These players had completed more dungeons than the others, but each time the dungeon ended, the system deducted nearly half of their materials. As a result, Ying Mengyun received more than 60,000 energy stones of various levels, while the other two received more than 20,000 and more than 30,000 respectively.
On the second day after entering the dungeon, I didn't do much, but I already made over 100,000 energy stones. I got a little carried away by robbing other players.
The two only asked for the energy stones and didn't ask for any other items.
"Want to recover quickly? Pay another five thousand, and I'll cure you completely," Wei Yanqing said, looking at Ying Mengyun's injured limbs.
Ying Mengyun: "..."
He wanted to curse, but he still had to hand over five thousand energy stones with tears in his eyes. Fortunately, Wei Yanqing didn't specify what level of energy stones he had to hand over.
The three men recovered from their injuries at a visible speed, except for the one whose arm Rong Yi had severed, which was more troublesome. Wei Yanqing used more energy than expected to help him regrow his arm.
Such powerful healing ability was something Ying Mengyun had never seen before after experiencing dozens of dungeons.
After doing all that, the two left without looking back.
"To get so many energy stones just by robbing a team of players, this high-end dungeon truly lives up to its name." Rong Yi toyed with the energy stones in his hand.
Although she obtained a lot of energy stones in the last dungeon, that was thanks to Shen Congran, and had nothing to do with her.
Wei Yanqing: "That's right, but I don't think the players will make a move easily. After all, there are many talented people in high-end dungeons. Who knows what moves the opponents will make? They might just be like those other players who kicked a nut to crack like us."
Rong Yi felt a little regretful. "Then we can only hope that someone will come and challenge us again." She paused in throwing the energy stone. "But why is there only one ferocious insect left around here?"
Previously, her rhythm was disrupted by Ying Mengyun's team. In her understanding, ferocious insects usually act in groups, and even if there are few of them, there are at least two of them together.
Such solo actions are very rare.
Wei Yanqing: "Then we need to search carefully, and it would be best to find the meteorite that fell here."
Rong Yi looked around. "I guess it must be a very large meteorite, otherwise the animals in the forest wouldn't have run down the mountain so quickly."
The ferocious insects grow quickly, but even the fastest growth takes time to mature. The fact that this situation could only be attributed to the fact that while many ferocious insects crawled out of the meteorite, they only encountered one.
"Could it be that many players have already come to the mountains?" Rong Yi wondered.
That seems to make sense.

After walking for a while, Rong Yi smelled a faint scent of blood and grabbed Wei Yanqing's arm. "Wait, there's something going on over there." She looked in the direction from which the scent of blood was coming.
"Walk."
Wei Yanqing walked ahead, and as he reached out to brush aside the branches blocking his way, he saw several corpses lying on the ground. To call them corpses was really just a few sets of tattered clothes.
But the bloodstains on the clothes indicate that someone else wore them before.
Rong Yi stepped forward. "They look like they were sent by the authorities."
Several sets of clothes were pieced together, especially the helmet and night vision goggles. In countries with strict gun control, such professional equipment can only be obtained by government officials.
Wei Yanqing looked around, but there was no other movement. "I wonder if they've taken the meteorite away yet."
Rong Yi picked up the gun that had fallen to the side, opened the magazine and found it empty. "They encountered the ferocious insects and died here. The meteorite was either transported away or is nearby."
She put down her things and continued searching with Wei Yanqing, following the paths these people had walked before their deaths.
In the sparsely populated forest, the footprints left by people are very obvious.
Rong Yi walked for about two hundred meters when he heard a cracking sound above his head. Both of them looked up, thinking it was a ferocious insect on the ground.
"How is it?" she asked.
Wei Yanqing frowned and shook his head. "It's not an insect."
The sound grew louder as they spoke, and upon closer listening, it seemed to be the sound of steel scraping against steel. Then something fell from the tree.
Rong Yi pulled Wei Yanqing away, and just as the object fell to the ground, it rolled a few times before they could see what it was.
"Is this... a helicopter?" Rong Yi asked uncertainly.
The propeller and tail section were gone, leaving only an empty cabin with the door still open and no one in the seats, suggesting that the passengers were thrown out during the crash.
Rong Yi crawled into the cabin, which was covered with leaves and smelled the pungent odor of burning engine oil.
The words painted on the outer shell further confirm that it was sent by the authorities.
Rong Yi: "Did they fail their mission?"
Wei Yanqing wiped the fuselage with his fingers. "Maybe, let's look again."
Further ahead, you can clearly see broken branches and snapped tree trunks on the ground, all indicating the battle that took place here.
Within two minutes, their view suddenly cleared. Several large trees had been snapped in half, and three crashed helicopters were still entangled in steel cables, holding the large meteorite in the center, more than two meters high.
The meteorite has an enamel-like texture, and what's peculiar is that there's still a layer of frost on it that hasn't completely melted. The melted parts drip off, and under the white frost, red lines spread across the black surface like blood vessels, as if something is moving inside.
Rong Yi knew that these red threads were full of ferocious insect eggs.
"They failed to transport the meteorite..."
Rong Yi only heard half of what she was saying because both she and Wei Yanqing heard rustling noises around them.
The next second, swarms of savage insects of varying sizes emerged from all around, some as big as basketball larvae, others as sub-adults covered in black shells.
Wei Yanqing: "Please step into the trap; these insects are intelligent."
Rong Yi nodded, "Yes, the higher the evolution level, the more intelligent they are."
These insects must have sensed their presence while they were fighting Ying Mengyun, but they kept their distance to avoid being detected. During this time, when they separated from Ying Mengyun, these insects didn't make a move. That's tolerable.
As the largest insect hissed, the surrounding insects swarmed and stirred.
However, when Wei Yanqing raised his arms, all the running insects were controlled and lifted into the air, leaving them helplessly waving their claws.
Rong Yi strode forward, drew his Blazing Melt sword, and swung it with all his might. A bright orange arc swept across a circle of ferocious insects. Wei Yanqing released his grip, and all the insects that had been slashed by Blazing Melt fell to the ground, motionless.
The dagger flew around and returned to Rong Yi's hand.
"This dagger of yours." Wei Yanqing saw Chi Rong for the first time.
Rong Yi's slender white fingers traced the blade, the heat from it not harming her. "A new weapon, not bad, right?"
Wei Yanqing nodded. "Although his rank is not high, he has a very imposing presence."
Just like you.
