"Captain Jin, the monster you are talking about is not a bug?" Liu Sanjin asked doubtfully: "Besides bugs, there are only some small beasts in the Sanhe Rainforest. I have only seen large beasts like the swamp black snake, but there are other things. ?”
When Jin Kun heard this, he couldn't help but the corners of his eyes twitching when he remembered the scene a month ago.
A month ago, they explored a place with many white bones. The bones looked like wild beasts, but the skeletons looked like they were walking upright. However, most of the skeletons were three or four meters high, so they were definitely not human beings. Moreover, those white bones It must have been left over from a long time ago, and it turned into ashes when touched.
After a group of them crossed the site of the bones and walked forward for a while, traces of artificial expansion gradually appeared in the passage. The passage became larger and larger. Slowly, they walked to a very open place, like an underground small The world is the same, tens of meters high and boundless in width, leaving only many stone pillars as supports.
Then, before they had time to appreciate the underground scenery, they encountered monsters. Only about 500 people from a group of thousands of people escaped back, most of them with injuries of varying severity.
"Yes, that monster should be an underground beast. My earth-burrowing centipede can deal with one. Unfortunately, those monsters are in groups, with no less than thirty in number. I have no choice but to ask you for help." Jin Kun shook his head. He said that last time his team suffered heavy casualties, and many people in the insect catching team said sarcastic things behind their backs. If he could not get enough credit this time, his career as captain of the insect catching team would probably come to an end. This was no matter what. All should be avoided.
Hearing this, Lian Bin, who was riding on the steel ant, couldn't help but paused and said: "Captain Jin, although the golden scarab is very powerful, but according to what you said, each of those monsters can compete with the zerg. With such a large number, gold Even if the scarab can be defeated, it will still take a lot of time, and that time is enough for the monster to kill us countless times."
Liu Sanjin and Lu Qingxue also looked at Jin Kun suspiciously. Although the three of them temporarily contracted the golden scarab and became the sharpest knife of the insect catching team, they could cut wherever needed, but the sharpest one was the golden scarab. Liu Sanjin and the other three have just advanced to the level of junior warriors. Apart from one steel ant, they only have three or two blade centipedes under their command. Their ability to protect themselves is average.
"Don't worry, you three. I have already arranged the tactics. My Earth-Drilling Centipede specially chose a place surrounded by very hard rocks. It took more than ten days to build a passage suitable for fighting. The main body of this passage There is a hall with a space of three rooms, which can easily accommodate a dozen people. It also contains enough materials for a dozen people to survive for more than half a month. There are three passages that are more than ten meters long connecting the hall. The passages are according to the size of the monster. It is built so that up to two monsters can pass through. The three halls are guarded by three golden scarabs respectively. There is also a hidden passage that is only large enough for the golden scarabs to pass through. However, those monsters are difficult to pass through. Naturally, we humans can also Pass, this is the last way out," Jin Kun said slowly and logically, "In this way, you can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. It is not foolproof, but as long as there are no other accidents, we should be able to clear out the monsters without any harm. It’s not like I haven’t done anything for more than a month.”
Hearing this, Liu Sanjin and the other three nodded. They were mainly worried about their own safety. As long as their own safety was guaranteed, the number of monsters was not something they considered. They had never thought that there was something in the Sanhe Rainforest that they could defeat. The Golden Scarab, this is proved by the killings of the Golden Scarab over the past year. The Golden Scarab can simply be called the zerg among zerg, it is unreasonably powerful.
"But there is another problem. The zerg have intelligence that cannot be underestimated. There are quite a few zerg that have escaped from the mouth of the golden scarab over the years. If those monsters have that kind of strength, their wisdom cannot be inferior to that of the worms, right? How do you ensure that they will keep coming to die? It can't be that they are murderous and will not stop fighting even if they smell our scent, even if most of them are killed or injured, right?"
Lu Qingxue asked, but she remembered that more than half of the people who came in last time from the insect catching team survived. If that kind of monster had a murderous character, the remaining half of the insect catching team would have fallen on this road for a long time. There's an underground passage.
Jin Kun smiled slightly, "I should have said that the specially selected battlefield took more than ten days to build, right? We are not just waiting for you this month, so what did we do in the previous ten days?"
Without waiting for Lu Qingxue's answer, Jin Kun continued: "We are already confident enough that we can attract monsters. If not all of them, we can attract most of them. As for the reason, you will know soon."
Behind Jin Kun was a middle-aged man named Wu Jin. This man was the deputy captain of Jin Kun's insect-catching team. He also contracted a centipede insect, but his insect didn't have many features. It is of average size, cannot spray poison, cannot fly or enter the water. Even the basic skills of a centipede such as burrowing into the ground are only average, and its combat ability is as mediocre as Wu Jin's appearance.
Wu Jin listened to Jin Kun and Liu Sanjin chatting, but he said nothing.
To be honest, he is not very impressed by Jin Kun. He was originally a member of the Bug Catching Team. Regardless of his qualifications, status, strength, popularity, achievements, etc., he is above the original Jin Kun. However, just because Jin Kun is lucky As soon as the contracted bug becomes stronger, he becomes the captain of the bug-catching team, and the rest of the team can only be a deputy captain.
The Insect Catcher Team speaks with strength, and the team leader can also compete for it with merit and qualifications, but the position of captain can only be held by strong people.
Wu Jin felt that although he had some luck, it was not very good. In the past, the captains were the ones who contracted bugs in the bug-catching team. He finally contracted the bugs and the bug-catching team expanded, but there were still many people like him. At the same time, when the Zerg was contracted, other people's Zerg were stronger than his, which often made him feel like he was out of luck.
"...Wu Jin, Wu Jin, what are you thinking about?" Jin Kun said with a louder voice.
Wu Jin came back to his senses, glanced at Jin Kun briefly, and said lightly: "What's the matter?"
Jin Kun was a little angry. Wu Jin had been showing off to him because of his qualifications and did not take him as the captain seriously. Just like now, he always seemed absent-minded when talking. He had tolerated it before. No matter how much you tolerate it, Jin Kun is also a young man and he also has a temper.
It was already unbearable before. Now, Jin Kun took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. After thinking about it, he still had to endure it. Last time he led the team, half of the people were killed, and almost 500 people were dead. Now he The insect-catching team was already unstable, and it was only through the addition of this person that the team could be stabilized during this period.
"Wu Jin, go ahead and see how the preparations are. We will act according to the plan soon. This is an opportunity for our insect catching team to turn around. If we succeed, we may not have the chance to get the second insect." Jin Kun was calm. said.
At this point, Wu Jin and Jin Kun's interests are consistent. The benefits here are definitely great, and the benefits from completing the exploration are definitely beyond imagination.
If he didn't want to provoke other teams of the Bug Catching Team to share the benefits, Wu Jin would have taken advantage of Jin Kun's major mistake last time to pull him out of the captain's position.
Everything is for profit.
Wu Jin nodded.
"I'll go first."
