My Empire War Game

Chapter 459 Death Knell Beetle

"Ayton, take the drow to investigate, be careful of the monsters here!" Su Lun said, looking at the crack in front of him.

"Yes, my lord!" Ayton nodded and then led a few drow into the darkness in a flash.

After entering the passage, because there is no fluorescent moss inside, the light is even more dim, and the road is even more rugged. In many places, only one person can barely pass through. Moreover, the corpses of some monsters can be seen from time to time along the way. Some of these monsters are ordinary beasts, and some are mutated creatures.

But there is basically no difference for these drow elves. Ayton is now a drow elf at the peak of the fourth order, and the rest of the drow elves are also elite. It is not difficult to deal with these monsters.

After walking in the narrow passage for about fifteen minutes, the passage became wider as it got deeper into the underground space, and some fluorescent moss appeared in the passage again.

"My lord, we found some traces of underground orcs here!" Ayton's figure emerged from the shadows.

As the ranger Ayton has a good tracking ability, the difference between underground orcs and surface orcs is not big, just like surface dwarves and gray dwarves, they are cousins, but they are closer.

The underground orcs are stronger than the surface orcs. The general radiation in the underground world has caused some mutations in their bodies. Their bodies have become stronger and their height has reached 2.3 meters. However, because of the same radiation, they More ferocious and brutal than those cousins.

These underground orcs do not produce, but rely on plunder for a living. They belong to human-eating intelligent creatures, and are notorious in the underground world. The underground orcs almost have knight-level combat power when they are adults, and they usually operate in small-scale groups.

The underground orc, this is not a strong labor for nothing. With a physique of 2.3 meters and a strong force, it is a very good choice for mining or building roads. As for the cruel personality? The traditional training skills of the drow will teach them to work hard, and if it doesn't work, they can throw it to Chris. The little succubus can control even the tauren, let alone these orcs.

"Leave them alone for now. It's important to find the gold mine." Su Lun scanned the strategic map and said, "After you find the gold mine, clean up the surrounding monsters. As for the orcs, let's catch them as coolies!"

In just a few seconds, Su Lun had already decided the future fate of these underground orcs.

When we got here, the width of the passage was already about ten meters, and there were several wide underground cavities connecting the passage. Some fungus plants grew luxuriantly in the caves, and the water vapor in the air was relatively high. There is an underground river surrounding it, and in the damp corners of the channel there are many underground mosses and underground mushrooms, many of which are poisonous.

Because of the radiation environment, there are many special enchanted plants growing in the underground world. Every once in a while, the wizards from the North Wind Tower will come here to collect some potions. The potion produced by the North Wind Tower is very popular in the Northland, but the quantity has always been limited. Those wizard apprentices in Zhenbei City are already busy with their feet on the ground, and they need to process a lot of materials every day.

During this period of time, there were five more high-level wizards in the North Wind Tower, and the production of potions increased a lot, but the supply was still in short supply.

"There are creatures approaching!"

There was a rustling sound in the darkness, Su Lun's footsteps stopped, and Ayton immediately led several other drow to hide in the darkness, and soon there was the sound of fighting, followed by a scream , and this scream was like a signal. Soon, screams rang out one after another.

A few minutes later, all the drow returned to the team. There were no wounds on their bodies, only a strong smell of blood and a faint murderous aura. Ayton bowed to Su Lun and said, "Master, it's a group of Dreadclaws." , have all been cleaned up.”

Su Lun nodded and said, "Go ahead!"

The gray dwarf who led the team hurried forward, and subconsciously dodged to the side when passing by Ayton and the others. Apparently he was terrified of these drow.

Walking out of the passage, a group of people came to a huge underground cavity. After arriving here, Su Lun quickly saw some exposed ore, but the number was small and the quality did not look high, but here Now that the ore has appeared, it means that there is indeed a vein of ore here. It's just that it's not sure yet what kind of mineral this vein is.

Su Lun asked the gray dwarf next to him to collect a few pieces of ore. Under the light of the torches, these ores shone with golden light and looked brilliant. As the pick fell, the gravel splashed, and there was a clanging sound, and soon a gray dwarf dug out the ore and respectfully brought it to Su Lun.

"My lord, this should be a piece of pyrite, also called fool's gold!" The gray dwarf said excitedly as he handed over a piece of golden octahedral mineral.

Su Lun was a little surprised looking at the piece of pyrite in front of him. This metallic luster, if judged only by eyes, it is really difficult to tell that this thing is pyrite instead of gold mine.

Pyrite is a granular mineral with a golden luster. Its appearance is very similar to gold mine, so it is also called fool's gold. Facing this metal, many times even some old miners will be fooled by it . Stretching out his hand to pick up the piece of pyrite, Su Lun found that some metal particles were in the shape of regular cubes, as if they had been specially polished by hand, and this is the difference between pyrite and gold mine.

Seeing this piece of fool's gold, Su Lun was not angry, but rather happy. There is a famous saying among the dwarves that "Fool's gold can only fool fools, but not wise men." ’ Although this metal is not gold, it is a ‘tracer’ of gold!

When the dwarves were excavating various minerals, they found that this kind of fool's gold often appeared in the same area as gold, that is to say, as long as fool's gold was found, there was a 70% chance of finding gold near this vein. In the eyes of experienced miners, as long as they find fool's gold, they can often find gold by following the clues.

Now that Su Lun and his team have discovered pyrite here, it also shows that there are indeed gold mines around, and the gray dwarf miner is not lying.

"Found the fool's gold, the real gold is not far away!" Su Lun threw away the piece of pyrite, and continued: "Let's go, hurry up and look for gold!"

Squeak!

A chaotic sound like insects rang from the ground far away, and the expressions of the gray dwarves nearby changed.

"My lord, this is the cry of the death knell beetle. It should be that the movement when we were mining just now alarmed them!" Ayton stepped forward and said.

"My lord, death knell beetles usually live in groups, should we avoid them!" Ayton said, looking around.

Su Lun shook his head, and directly rejected Ayton's proposal. What are you kidding, you don't want any of the horses delivered to your door? The death knell beetle is a large beetle. This kind of creature has inherited the aggregation life of insects. Generally, there are fifty death knell beetles in a nest. Usually, the death knell beetle has a bright red hard carapace and is highly defensive.

Without preparation, even gray dwarves and drow elves, the powerhouses of the underground world, would not provoke them. The death knell beetle's two evil claws dangled in front of its four black round eyes and serrated jaws. There is also a horn-like horn-like protrusion on its head, which emits a sound wave that can be used for attack or healing.

The challenge level of a single death knell beetle is level ten, but when the number of death knell beetles hides, even the knight captain or titled knight will stay away. This kind of monster has a natural ability, 【Earth Shakes Mountains Shake】. They can use sound waves to cause the ground to shake and deform.

From Su Lun's point of view, this ability is to use the resonance effect. It does not need to use much force. As long as it can match the frequency of the sound wave with the frequency of the surrounding ground, it can easily cause the ground to shake and deform. And if there are enough knell beetles, they can even cause a small earthquake.

Few in the Underworld would actively provoke swarms of Deathknell Beetles.

However, although the death knell beetles are powerful, their IQ is very low, almost no different from other insects, and even lower than other insects.

This situation makes it possible for the death knell beetle to be domesticated, but so far, no underground race has been successfully domesticated.

"Here we come!" A flash of thunder flashed in Su Lun's eyes!

As soon as the words fell, the rock on the ground suddenly bulged, and then a huge red-shelled creature with ten legs that looked like a beetle appeared in front of everyone. It had two sharp pincers, huge mouthparts covered with fangs, and a It was a horn, its body was covered with an imprisoned carapace, and its diameter was more than one meter. It looked hideous and terrifying.

"My lord, be careful!" Ayton stood in front of Su Lun the moment the death knell beetle appeared, and a sharp scimitar appeared in his hand, looking at the big guy in front of him warily.

"Chris, control them!" Su Lun ordered directly. Compared with the wizard's control monster, Chris's charm technique is more effective, and the enhanced charm talent is very powerful.

Chris smiled coquettishly, and a leather whip appeared in her hand. She tapped her toes lightly, and her body jumped into the air. A pair of demon wings appeared behind her. Slashing across, the leather whip in his hand hit the death knell beetle with a ball of lightning. The lightning flashed in its body, and the body of the attacking death knell beetle suddenly stopped.

Approaching Chris, she didn't stop at all, and quickly flew backwards, and the whip in her hand also quickly lashed at more death knell beetles.
