Infinity Throne

"Eh? Mermaid country?"

Yi Lin casually opened the [Reputation] panel and took a look.

I did it casually.

But this sight made Yi Lin dumbfounded.

In the [Reputation] panel, the reputation values ​​of other forces have not changed at all.

There is only one more item.

[Reputation of the Mermaid Kingdom] Respect (12/12000)

What's this feeling like when people are walking in a cave and melons are coming from the sky?

Yi Lin was very sure that the last time he had nothing to do in the Great Engineer Tower to check out the reputation of the [Grand Engineering College], there was no such item.

What if there is an inexplicable addition of an NPC force that I have never met before, and the "respect" is also strangely increased in an instant?

Did I accidentally put incense on the tomb of the ancestor of the human fish kingdom?

Or is it that a certain monster on the roadside happens to be the enemy of the whole Mermaid Kingdom for life and death, and after being killed by him, it was secretly sensed by this NPC force?

This is unreasonable.

"etc."

Yi Lin looked at it, her frown suddenly relaxed, and then she felt confused about whether to laugh or cry.

"Mermaid Country? Could it be that my surviving teammates are gaining reputation in this country with the title of 'Brave Companions', so they take some of the credit on me?" ? If they knew about this, how damn would they feel at the moment."

They really can't die.

In the darkness, Yi Lin felt relieved.

The reputation value will never be brushed to "respect" for no reason.

The only possibility is that someone else cheated and some of the benefits fell on him.

Just like the statue of "The Brave Man and the Dog" in the Moonlight Jungle.

Another example is the prophecy spread in the Kingdom of Two Lions that "the brave man and his dog will destroy the country."

It seems that the whole world is inseparable from the legend of "The Brave Man and the Dog".

Yi Lin still hasn't figured out why he is a brave man, dogs are dogs, but others are "brave friends".

If this is an adventure, Yi Lin believes that at the end of the adventure, there must be the answer he is looking for.

When the adventure in this world comes to an end, what Yilin can witness is not only the finale of this game world, but also his lost memories and the answers to all his doubts.

"As for now..."

Yi Lin holds two daggers.

Behind him, countless corpses of "crystal-eating insects" fell.

Crystal Eater has a special "summoning partner" mechanism, which is similar to the mechanism of Endless Swamp [Tauren Family].

Under this special mechanism, if you want to clear this leveling area under normal circumstances, you must assemble a team with a reasonable professional mix and focus on destroying the "crystal-eating insects" in a short time without giving any trace to the crystal-eating insects. An opportunity to gather friends.

Once "Crystal Eater B" is summoned, the number of friends BCDEFG that will come later will be endless and difficult to deal with.

The "turn system" in the normal game mode actually limits Yi Lin's strength.

Yi Lin's current direction of adding points is all in the direction of a set of combos. Under the turn system, Yi Lin can only use one skill per turn, which is not reasonable or scientific at all.

As A Deng said, believe in science.

For Yi Lin at this moment, cheating... uh no, reasonably exploring game loopholes is the most scientific science.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Yi Lin could only temporarily separate from Wang Tiandi and embark on the road to defeat the BOSS alone.

…

In the darkness, the surrounding mine walls emitted a hazy gray light.

Yi Lin was not so miserable that she was scratching her head in an environment where she couldn't see her fingers.

"It seems that as you go deeper, the crystal-eating insects become more and more dense."

Yi Lin used a trick combo to instantly kill a crystal-eating insect that turned into experience points before it could react, and then bent down to pick up the loot.

It was a crystal block covered in thick acid.

——[Crystal fragments in digestion].

It is a material prop.

As for the use of this material, Yi Lin didn't know.

In the mine, there are many branching roads, winding endlessly, reaching deep into the depths.

Apart from encountering swarms of crystal-eating insects, Yi Lin never encountered other existences similar to "BOSS".

Not even a "big crystal worm".

Ordinary crystal-eating insects no longer pose any threat to Yi Lin.

Given Yi Lin's current level, as long as she doesn't enter a combat state and continues her combo, no matter how many crystal-eating insects there are, she can only be regarded as a younger brother within a younger brother. Yi Lin was so outrageous that he yawned while completing a skillful combo of moves. Like an arm wielder, eight moves turned into one move, so natural that the crystal-eating insect cried out: "Fuck!"

But Yilin's current level suppresses the level of crystal-eating insects, and the experience points gained from killing crystal-eating insects are greatly reduced. At the end of the fight, Yi Lin didn't bother to make a move and just walked over to save the crystal energy potion.

Although most of the potions in Yi Lin's bag were borrowed and cost nothing. But these are all fruits of labor, right? It also cost Yi Lin a lot of effort. It was a shameful waste to save what he could.

The depths of the cave are like a maze.

The deeper you go, the more complicated the road becomes, and it is impossible to find the end.

"If this continues, there will be some trouble."

Yilin shook another monster.

In the darkness, the skill effect of "following like a shadow" was brought into full play. In addition, Yi Lin is good at sneaking. In this environment, it feels like returning to his own home, sneaking away from monsters without any pressure.

There was a strange smell in the air, like a faint smell of feces, coming out from between the cracks in the rocks. The smell became more obvious the deeper you went. Originally, this smell should be difficult to detect, but in the airtight cave, the faint smell of feces gradually fermented and filled every branch of the mine.

Yi Lin suddenly regretted it.

It seemed too early to leave Wang Tiandi behind.

Wang Tiandi's dog nose is extremely sensitive to smells, so he should be able to detect something strange.

But Yi Lin thought about it again. If Wang Tiandi had not left Wang Tiandi to go deep alone, Wang Tiandi's two green dog eyes were like fireflies in the dark. They were so charming that it would be impossible for the monsters not to discover them. impossible.

"Huh? What are these little bugs doing?"

Yilin wandered aimlessly through the maze-like branching roads. Unintentionally, Yi Lin discovered that the actions of these crystal-eating insects seemed to follow a certain pattern.

After noticing the strange movements of the crystal-eating insects, Yi Lin stopped and leaned gently against the stone wall. She held her breath, as if her body was completely integrated into the darkness between the stone walls and was inseparable.

"Kakaka-"

"Chi chi chi chi——"

Deep in the mine, the concentration of crystal-eating insects is beyond imagination. For example, if Yi Lin uses "turn-based combat" to rush out now, when the aperture comes down, it is estimated that nearly ten crystal-eating insects can be trapped in any one of them.

Although the battle is turn-based, Yi Lin is still in a one-on-one situation. But the deeper you go, it turns out that Yi Lin is fighting "a group of crystal-eating insects" instead of "one crystal-eating insect". This shows how terrifying the density of monsters is.

The normal way of pushing pictures, coupled with the cheating mechanism of "Crystal-Eating Insect", simply cannot push it to this position.

No wonder the crisis in the abandoned crystal mine gives the five great engineers in the Great Engineer Tower such a headache and they have to wait for the "players" to solve it.

Reasonable, reasonable, and in line with the rules of the game.

Before, Yi Lin was only focused on killing monsters and almost didn't pay much attention to the movements of crystal-eating insects. But when Yi Lin was too lazy to kill the monsters and began to observe the movement patterns of the crystal-eating insects, the crystal-eating insects that gradually increased in number and gathered into small groups began to reveal many strange clues.

I saw round crystal-eating insects with a few tentacles protruding from the top of their heads. Several crystal-eating insects that could not tell the difference between male and female were teasing, teasing and playing with each other with their tentacles. I don’t know if they were mating or communicating. In short, it was confusing. Very happy.

Yi Lin calmed down and continued to observe.

A few minutes later.

After completing the exchange, the crystal-eating insect began to take action.

One of the crystal-eating insects suddenly burrowed into the stone wall and moved quickly in the hard soil. On the stone wall, as the crystal-eating insects moved in the soil, cracked textures appeared on the surface of the stone wall, as if the inside was being stretched open.

Soon, the crystal-eating insects that were raging in the stone wall emerged from the surface of the stone wall again, opened their mouths and spat on the ground. Between the sharp teeth, a slightly shiny crystal, mixed with sticky secretions, spat on the ground.

Yi Lin quietly moved closer.

"Crystal shards? So this is how crystal-eating insects collect crystals? Ha, after all, this used to be a crystal mine. It's not surprising that crystal shards can be dug out of the soil. But it vomits it out after eating it. , What are you doing? Are you holding on?"

Yi Lin, who was hiding in the darkness, slowly raised a question mark.

But he did not alert the enemy. He raised his head and drank a large bottle of crystal energy to replenish the crystal energy value, and then continued to hide in the dark.

The first crystal-eating insect that dug into the soil spit out crystal shards mixed with saliva, and its tentacles trembled rapidly, as if it was expressing something. The rest of the crystal worms looked at me and I looked at you. Several other crystal worms followed the path of the first crystal worm and quickly burrowed into the soil.

There was only one crystal-eating insect left on the spot.

Without any hesitation, the lone crystal-eating insect rolled its long tongue on the ground and quickly swallowed the disgusting crystal shards into its belly.

This scene is somewhat like the scene on TV when an anteater eats ants.

While Yi Lin was wondering what these crystal-eating insects were doing.

The stone walls trembled.

The few crystal-eating insects that entered the stone wall got out of the stone wall one after another and spat on the ground. After leaving pieces of crystal shavings on the ground, they drilled back into the stone wall again, repeating the process over and over again.

Gradually.

The belly of the crystal worm that initially stayed in the cave corridor and swallowed the crystal shavings spit out by the other crystal worms became more and more rounded and rolled.

Until it burped with satisfaction.

"E-Are you full?"

The satiated crystal-eating insect turned around and left the place without any hesitation, moving deeper into the cave.

Perhaps because it was too full, the crystal-eating insect moved much slower than the other crystal-eating insects. After Yi Lin paid close attention, it was not difficult to tell.

Yi Lin turned into a shadow and followed closely behind the full crystal-eating insect.

After eating, the crystal-eating insect twisted its round buttocks and moved in a snake-like position, looking slightly sexy.

During the tracking process, Yi Lin discovered that in the mine, the dense crystal-eating insects were divided into countless teams with clear divisions of labor, repeating the entire process that Yi Lin had just witnessed.

In the process of marching, more and more "full crystal-eating insects", with their bellies as if they were pregnant for ten months, moved firmly in a certain direction with difficulty.

One, two, three, four... As Yi Lin went deeper, one by one, the eating crystal worms gathered in front of Yi Lin, first into a small group, and then into a large group... Unknowingly, the eating crystal worms The full crystal-eating insects formed a flowing river of insects in front of Yi Lin.

Countless wriggling crystal-eating worms were meandering and moving in the narrow cave. If a hungry person saw this scene, he would probably be so disgusted that he would even vomit out his overnight meal.

"The first crystal-eating insect locates itself in the stone wall. After the location is successful, the other crystal-eating insects collect crystal shards in the stone wall, spit them out, and finally let one crystal-eating insect swallow them and... transport them away?"

"I never expected to see such a methodical assembly line collection operation for monsters in the game."

In the shadows, Yi Lin couldn't help but laugh: "So these 'fed crystal-eating insects' are responsible for collecting the 'crystals' and transporting them to a certain place?"

bingo.

It seems that

found it.
