"Huh? This... mission?"
Li Mu was startled by the sudden electronic notification sound in his mind. Ever since the Badger Beast mission, mission announcements from this simulation system had not appeared again, so much so that Li Mu had almost forgotten its existence.
Every reward given by the mission system can greatly improve Li Mu's strength. However, the triggering conditions seem to depend entirely on the mood of the simulation system. Now that it suddenly appeared, Li Mu was naturally ecstatic and quickly connected. Mission system.
It was still the familiar Miss Celia, it was still a simple parchment scroll, and the slowly unfolding task panel appeared in front of Li Mu.
"Kill the mythical beast, the mission rewards five talent points. Please choose whether to accept the mission."
A line of words that appeared on the sheepskin scroll in Li Mu's hand was emitting bursts of golden light. Looking at the button at the bottom to accept the mission, Li Mu hesitated.
"Is the Insect King a mythical beast? No wonder I was able to fight equally with Lan Wanyao in the Ascension Realm. This is the first time I have encountered a real mythical beast, rather than a descendant of a mythical beast with blood. Can I win? "
Li Mu knew about the legendary bugs like the bug. It was born in the south. It is also called a short fox. It looks like a turtle and has three legs. It shoots with its energy to harm people. The most terrifying thing is that it is said that the bug can hit the enemy's shadow by shooting. To harm others, this is also the origin of the word insinuation.
Unfortunately, in Li Mu's original world, there were not many descriptions of monsters. Most of them came from some unofficial histories and miscellaneous ancient books, and there were no recorded methods of dealing with them.
"Great God, how come you have cultivated a divine beast? It's still a creature with 100% pure blood. I feel like I can't win."
Li Mu felt bitter in his heart. He had actually seen the mythical relief at the entrance of the cave before, but how could he associate it with the mythical beast at that time? Now that he wants to give up, Lan Wanyao probably won't let it go either. Own.
"You're nothing to be afraid of, even if it's a divine beast, it's still in the Infinite Realm. Don't worry, help me get rid of the Insect King. I won't let you suffer."
Lan Wanyao's cold voice came, and it seemed that this god had been lying in his consciousness, just recuperating and conserving energy.
"I'm afraid I've become the insect king's dinner before I even get your reward."
In the end, Lan Wanyao could only ignore Li Mu's nagging complaints and disappeared from his consciousness again, leaving Li Mu nagging alone.
"Since we have decided to fight this insect king to the death, we must formulate a detailed battle plan. Li Mu, since you were not here before, I will tell you about the attack method of this insect."
Although Ruolan decided to help Fu Bo kill the Insect King and obtain the inner elixir to detoxify it, she was by no means a reckless person. Li Mu also cooperated very well, pretending that she knew nothing about the Insect King, and soon the few people determined Developed a combat plan.
"The most troublesome ability of this insect king is to use its shadow to attack. We want to prevent our shadow from being touched by it, so the first time we encounter it, we must destroy all the light sources. For us monks It is not difficult to position and fight with breath, but for the Insect King, without the ability to control shadows, it is just a rough-skinned and fleshy level 7 monster."
Ruolan's plan hit the nail on the head, and everyone nodded in agreement.
"Yes, when the time comes, Uncle Fu and I will be responsible for the frontal combat. Sister Ruolan, Qingzhu, and Fang Yan, you will be responsible for solving all the light sources as quickly as possible. As far as I know, the Insect King has no other ability except the ability to control shadows." With special magical powers, our chances of winning are still very high."
After the battle plan was determined, Ruolan also took out a wide variety of elixirs and distributed them to Li Mu and the others. This was likely to be a protracted war, so sufficient supplies were also crucial. During the preparation time of the group, that Ji Xie did not take action again, and the entire palace fell into complete silence. Perhaps both sides were accumulating strength, which meant that the subsequent decisive battle would be more intense.
Continuing to walk along a long corridor to the deepest part of the palace, the energy aura originally released by the insects to attract the monks has completely disappeared. Uncle Fu and Li Mu can only trace the remaining traces and look at the insect lanterns beside the corridor. Li Mu couldn't help but be careful about the shadow left on his body. After all, if he fell into the trap of Xie, it would really be a tragedy.
"I can feel it, right in front of you in the dormitory on the right."
Just when Uncle Fu squatted down and found that the traces of the beast had completely disappeared, Lan Wanyao's voice sounded in time, indicating the exact location of the beast.
"Everyone, be careful. I have a hunch that the Insect King is near us. Follow me."
Li Mu took over the responsibility of leading the way, and followed Lan Wanyao's guidance to the dormitory where Xing was hiding. Just when Li Mu turned around to signal his companions to prepare to sweep away the light source, a thick black tentacle suddenly appeared and headed towards Li Mu. The shadow behind Mu rushed toward him.
"careful!"
Thanks to Uncle Xingfu's timely reminder, Li Mu dodged into the blind spot of the corridor light, and his tentacles that had lost their target had to slowly retract back into the dormitory.
Xie's sudden attack startled everyone, and they all leaned sideways and clung to the wall, not daring to move at all, for fear that Xie would take advantage of it if their shadows were exposed.
"What should we do? It already knows that we are coming, and it can't rush in at all. If we break in forcefully, it will definitely expose its flaws and it will succeed."
Fang Yan's body was now completely covered in blood armor, but the absolute defense he was so proud of had no effect in front of the beast. Mainly being stuck with shadow, he would become a puppet of this mythical beast.
"There is a way, use the Shadow Cloak!"
A flash of light flashed in Li Mu's mind. Didn't he have two shadow cloaks? Mysterious space magic weapons that could completely hide the body and even leave no shadow behind. This magical function was hidden in Gongsun Qi's mind at the beginning. When he entered the underground secret passage, he praised himself.
He quickly retrieved two cloaks from the warehouse system that he had forgotten for a while. Li Mu put on one himself and threw the other to Uncle Fu. The two quickly activated the Shadow Cloak together. The active skill, Shadow Disappearance, disappears without even leaving a shadow.
"Change the battle plan. Uncle Fu and I will go in first and wipe out the light source. The beast will not be captured without help. It is very likely to summon helpers like bloodthirsty fireflies. It is up to you to resist it. Uncle Fu and I will do our best. It could be a quick victory.”
With the help of the Shadow Cloak, the shadow problem has been completely solved. Then Ruolan and the others no longer need to confront the beast head-on. It is enough to leave it to Li Mu and Fu Bo. They can be responsible for dealing with other threats in the palace. , in this case the chance of winning will be a little higher.
"Okay, it's decided. Sister Ruolan, I'll leave the outside to you. Uncle Fu, let's go."
Li Mu didn't hesitate. He nodded to Uncle Fu, and said something to Lan Wanyao in his mind. Then his momentum revived, and the two figures stepped directly into the void and rushed into the dormitory where Xing was.
Ruolan and the three of them each put their weapons in two places and guarded the entrance to the dormitory.
