Volume 19 Chapter 46 Russian elite digging everywhere

"Can you tell me what kind of adventurer you are?" After exchanging opinions with my eyes, Ling directly asked the skeleton lord.

The skeleton lord immediately replied when Ling asked, "I didn't see the group of people in detail. I was in another area at the time, and then I came back here to know that the Lord was dead. But I can call the people who were present at the time. Come and tell you in detail. "

Ling nodded and said to let him as soon as possible, the skull lord quickly summoned the informed person to report to us.

Called by the Skeleton Lord is a Nether Spirit. This undead creature has a normal frontal attack ability, but the ability to escape and sneak attack is first-rate. If the entire team is killed, it is not so surprising that he can survive. .

Because the Spirit of the Void is also a high-level undead, it is quite intelligent, and after understanding our intentions, it quickly introduced the situation at that time. According to the introduction of the Nether Spirit, at that time their team of undead was absorbing evil in a cursed land, but they did n’t know what to do. There was an undead squad outside reporting that there was an intruder, and then they went to meet, but they were confronted It's all gone.

"The people here are amazing?" I asked out loud.

The Voidwalker quickly explained: "It's not very powerful. We weren't killed because we couldn't beat them. In fact, the average combat strength of the opponent was not as good as ours. Although more than 30 higher undead were killed on our side, the opponent was More than 200 people have died, so we are actually taking advantage of the loss alone. The reason they can wipe us out is simply because they have more people. "

"How many people did you meet at that time?"

"The exact number is uncertain. I glanced at least five hundred people at that time, and it is not clear if there are any more. You also know that you cannot see too far away in the forest."

I nodded and said, "In addition to the number of people, do you know what they have? For example, what do they look like?"

The Nether Spirit immediately said: "The other person's personnel are of many races, and you know that it is normal for adventurers to be multi-racial, so if you have any special looks, this is really impossible to say. But ... ... "

"But what?"

"But it seems that there are many strong fighters in the opponent's team. These people are generally orcs, and their heights are amazing, at least they are quite amazing height for adventurers."

This figure is a feature of the Russians, but it is only a side evidence. If you want to determine whether the attack on the undead is the Russian elite, more direct evidence is required. However, after all, we were not present at the time, and it was not easy to get more direct evidence. After thinking for a while, I suddenly asked, "Yes, do you see a person with a lot of tattoos on your body in the team?" What I am talking about is actually a barbarian warrior. This profession is considered a Russian Popular professions, if there are a large number of professional players in the team, then they do not run.

After listening to my voice, the void spirit said, "Yes, those guys with a lot of tattoos on their bodies are very many in the team, and many of them are naked and their muscles look like It's like a piece of stone, giving it a very strong feeling. "

Listening to the spirit of the void, I have determined that those people are the elite of the Russians, but what are they planning to do when so many people run into the national barrier? Even if the Russians intend to forcibly invade China through this, there is no need to send so many elites to eradicate monsters in the national barrier in advance? Besides, I do n’t think they really intend to invade China from here. Let ’s not talk about how they will pass through this mountainous area, even if it is here that Pingchuan can directly drive in the troops? Xinjiang is not like the eastern region here. This is a standard city with a large population and scarce population. There are basically no important resource cities. The Russians entering here will not hurt our fundamental interests at all. Even if they can lay down two or two cities here, they will be able to search for a small amount of property, and even their troop costs may not be enough. Therefore, the Russians will definitely not invade China from here. The strategic depth of Xinjiang is too great. From here, the invasion will not have the advantage of a surprise attack.

Since it is not intended to open the way for the invasion, the Russians must have planned to transfer the national elites here, but we have not been able to figure it out yet.

"Do you know where those people are now?" I suddenly crossed Ling and asked the spirit of the void.

The Nether Spirit shook his head and said, "Sorry, I haven't been back since I left, so I don't know."

As soon as the Spirit of the Void had finished speaking, the skeletal lord next to him immediately said: "This I know, they are still in that area. I have sent some people to reconnaissance after the Lord was killed, and it seems that the other side is still in the cursed land Medium. However, according to the return, a lot of people have come from the other side, and they keep going in and out. It seems that they are preparing something. "

"Do you know what you are preparing?"

The skeleton lord shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. Scouts say there are too many people on the other side, and they didn't dare to come too close."

I nodded and said, "So please send someone to take us to see if you can?"

"That's okay." The Skeleton Lord nodded in agreement with my request, and then said to the Soul Eater who had brought us before: "You can send the guests back, I will send a scout to take you immediately."

The Soul Eater nodded and sent us back to where we left off. When we got back to where we were before, Thort called out in surprise: "Why are we back again? I just didn't see them using Teleportation? "

"That's not teleportation." Ling explained to them: "It's a kind of soul projection. We haven't moved just now. It was actually our soul that saw the skeleton lord. Our body never left this. Place. As soon as we get back, it's easier. The opponent undoes the spell and we naturally return. "

"So it turned out. I didn't expect undead to have such powerful skills."

"This is the strategic skill of the higher undead, but the ordinary undead will not use it." I said again and said: "I will investigate the situation of the group of players in a while, but it is estimated that you need to sneak, you Waiting with Ador here, I will arrange the soul eater to protect you, and we will leave together when I return. "

"Can't you take us with me?" Adu obviously didn't want to stay with the soul eater.

I shook my head decisively. "No, the opponent's strength should be very high, and there are many people. You are just guides, not assassins. In case your goal is not a cause for me to complete the mission? So you just wait for me to come back here."

"That's okay" Although it is very reluctant, the task of the owner is the most important. As guides, Atuo and Sott have some professional ethics.

When I told the Soul Eater to help me take care of Thort, a void spirit suddenly appeared around us. No need to ask, this guy must be the guy who told us the way the skeleton lord said. However, I don't know if he was the Nether Spirit who talked to us in the cave over there before. To be honest, these guys look exactly the same to me, and it is definitely a technical job to distinguish between two void spirits.

This void spirit was an anxious child, and immediately upon seeing us, he said, "I am the leader sent by the Lord. May I go now?"

I nodded and recovered Ling, and then said, "Let's lead the way."

The void spirit didn't make nonsense, just turned around and floated in one direction, and I quickly followed.

The Spirit of the Void didn't move very fast, but it took a lot of effort to follow this guy behind, not because I was slow, but because the guy of the Spirit of the Void didn't know how to turn. Hearing the name shows that this guy is a void body, which means that ordinary obstacles are useless to him at all. Whether it's a rock or a tree blocking the road, this guy walks through, but he can wear me but not. Like a small river, I can jump over when I get there, and I can fly at low altitudes when I encounter bumpy places, but I ca n’t help hiding the big trees, right? This guy drifted straight in the woodland, but I had to walk to keep up with him. As a result, I walked at least two or three times as long as I could. Can you say that I am not tired?

"Hum, can you slow down next time? I can't keep up with you" It was so easy to see that the spirit of the void in front stopped, and I finally found a chance to catch my breath.

The other party didn't mean to answer my words at all, but pushed me behind a big tree next to it. I know there must be something wrong with this guy pushing me, but now there is only one more direct reason I can think of.

"Hurry up. You guys are working hard. I can't hold it anymore." As soon as I was pushed into the tree, I heard a voice not far away. Although I can understand that, but It is due to the simultaneous interpretation of the system, not because the other party speaks Chinese, but in order to prevent encountering Russian elites halfway, I opened the Russian translation before. Now that the other party has activated the translation system, it means that the other party speaks Russian , Because other foreign languages ​​or Chinese will not cause the translation system to start.

Listening to the other person's words, I carefully opened the opening under my wrist, followed by a group of ghost beetles quickly crawled out of the opening and scattered along the ground and branches. Now I don't have the convenience to observe the situation with a probe, so I have to rely on these little guys.

With the eyes of the ghost beetle, I soon realized that a group of Russians was carrying a long, barrel-like thing moving forward in the woods.

"Okay, here it is." A barbarian warrior shouted for the people around him to erect that gun-like thing, and the people next to him took out something like a hand drill. Things began to burrow in the ground. Although the ground in the forest is a layer of saprolite, the roots are all plant roots. Besides, it is a cursed land. There are many bones and other things under the ground. In short, it is very hard work to make holes here.

Those people used the hand-cranked rig to dig and stop on the ground. When they encountered an obstacle, they had to pull out the rig, and then used a long sharp weapon to reach into the hole to cut off the obstacles and Dig it out before you can put the rig back in. Although this kind of work does not seem to be very laborious, it is extremely troublesome, and it is necessary to repeatedly retract the rig.

Those people tossed there for more than half an hour before digging a satisfactory hole. Judging by the shape of their rig, the hole should be a vertical well with a diameter between 30 and 40 centimeters and a depth of 1.5 meters.

After completing this weird hole, those people threw the rig aside and started to hum and hoist the same thing next to the gun barrel, and finally they moved the erected gun barrel over the newly dug hole, and Follow the hole and lower the barrel a bit. Because the size of the newly dug hole was exactly the same as the outer wall of the gun barrel, the gun barrel was not inserted into the hole to the end, but had a lot of resistance. Those people seemed to have been prepared for a long time, took out a wooden hammer with a layer of cotton, and started knocking down.

Probably because the gun-like thing is a mechanical device, so these people were afraid to knock the thing, and they have been afraid to use a lot of force. They can only smash it down a little bit, and it took ten minutes. Only then knocked that stuff completely into the ground. Finally, when the opening of the thing was parallel to the ground, a Russian player took out a strange fork-like thing and inserted it through the nozzle, and then the people next to him helped grab the handle of the fork and started to rotate counterclockwise. With their combined force, the fork was quickly twisted more than ten times. Judging from their previous actions, the function of this fork should be similar to the key of the previous article, and the thing like that barrel is a mechanical body driven by a mechanism such as a spring. As for the function of this gadget, I don't know for now, after all, it looks like a thick tube from the outside.

After putting this thing in place, the group of Russians began to split into four two-man teams, and started digging along the road on both sides of the pipe. The holes dug this time are not deep, each one is only about half a foot deep, and the size is about the same as a normal rice cooker. In these teams, one person digs the pit in the front intently, and changes the place to continue digging after digging one, while the person in the back digs the pit in front of the person and leaves a metal like a rice cooker Objects tucked into the dug pit.

After arranging at least fifty or sixty small things around that vertical metal barrel-like thing, most of these people quickly left the area, and then one of them stayed and began to camouflage with branches and leaves. Those things. After confirming that everything was covered up, these people left the area together.

After sending out a few ghost beetles to follow the crowd, I walked out from behind the hiding tree with the void spirit. I probably knew that I would ask. The void spirit said to me as soon as it came out, "I do n’t know what these things are. They have been setting them up from here. Now they are all in the forest area. They are almost full. Except for a deliberately left passage, this thing is almost everywhere here. "

"so much?"

"Yes, there are a lot of them. These guys have been here for three days without stopping, and they are crowded, and the division of labor is very fast."

"Did you see the effect of other creatures encountering these things?"

The Nether Spirit shook his head and said, "A lot of local small creatures ran over these things before, but I don't know if it is because of their small size and untouchable, or for whatever reason, those things did not respond at all."

"This is the national barrier area. There must be a lot of high-level creatures. There should be a lot of big things, right? Didn't anyone step on it?"

"No." Void Spirit said with certainty: "Those people have special people patrolling nearby, and when they encounter large creatures, they will summon their companions to kill them in advance, so no large creatures have ever encountered these things."

Listening to the spirit of the void, it seems that even if I want to use any method to experiment, it is obvious that the other party has planned to expel creatures that may touch this kind of thing. If somehow I touch one, it is likely to let the other party Know someone came in. Therefore, I can only give up the idea of ​​touching one to see the effect. However, I don't know if I should be lucky or if the Russians are unlucky. Just after I gave up the intention to touch this thing, I unexpectedly saw the touch effect of one group of this thing.

After leaving the group of strange people, the Russians were followed by my ghost beetle, and after returning to an artificially cleared open space in the middle of the woodland, they took another set of guns. Things went out like many small rice cookers. After these people left, I kept only one ghost beetle to continue to monitor them, and the others stared at the open space.

Less than three minutes after the group had just left, a group of people came from outside the open space, and it seemed they were here to get these things. However, there seems to be a guy in this team with a problem in his head. Anyway, the guy was so sloppy that he knocked down one of the gun-like things when he carried it. As a result, the thing not only fell by itself, but also hit a few A small rice cooker. Immediately after that, several small rice cookers were touched along with the fallen gun barrel.

Earlier I said that this thing is really like a gun barrel, this thing is a gun, but it is not a shot of steel cannon, nor is it compressed energy, but a thick black liquid like ink.

The fallen gun spouted a large ball of black liquid as soon as it fell, and the liquid ball suddenly exploded after flying horizontally for more than two meters to blow the nearby group. The people who carried things and the surrounding forest instantly sprayed out all darkness. It is conceivable that if this thing was put upright not because it was upside down, then a range of tens of meters around it would be blackened by this thing.

Except for that gun barrel, those things like rice cookers are another kind of equipment. The top of these things has a round opening like a trap, and it snaps when it is touched, but I don't see where it is more advanced than the general trap, but since the Russians There is a reason for it to look like this, but I haven't thought of it yet.

After confirming the function of the thing, I immediately asked one of the ghost beetles to bring me a leaf with a lot of the liquid on it, but when I got that leaf, I was even more suspicious.

"Is this ... kerosene?"

The thermal oil mentioned here is not ordinary thermal oil, but a petroleum extract. It is no secret that there is oil in the map of "Zero". Many guilds still use oil to make incendiary bombs or something, so oil is also a resource here.

In reality, people will use the cracking technology to separate oil into various products such as diesel, gasoline, and asphalt. However, there are few guilds in the game that can reproduce the actual equipment. It is not gasoline and diesel, but this black and thick black liquid. In fact, to put it bluntly, this kind of fire oil is basically not much different from petroleum. Except for a slight decrease in specific gravity and easier ignition, it is basically similar to crude oil.

After figuring out what this black liquid is, I summoned Ling and several other magical pets with better heads, and concentrated on everyone's wisdom to speculate that we finally reached such a conclusion. No matter how the shape of the rice cooker is changed, the basic function of the clip cannot be changed, but it is clear that the shallow buried and unfixed things are difficult to trap large creatures, and its Touch sensitivity is obviously not for small creatures. Therefore, we believe that this type of rice cooker clip should not be designed to limit the movement of living things, but only to make the other party less. As for the kind of gun that can spit fire oil, it is obviously opened to completely dip the target with fire oil. Coupled with those clips, it is not difficult to imagine that the purpose of these clips is to limit the degree of the target creature, so that the fire oil injector can completely cover it, that is to say, the clip is not the point, the focus is on covering the target with fire oil.

Although we wanted to understand that it was the Russians' purpose to cover the target with oil, we did not understand what they were going to do. Generally, you use the oil to pour your opponent once, and the next step is to plan to burn it with fire. The problem is that if you want to burn an enemy with fire, it will take a long time to seal the throne. Even if those Russians plan to kill any living things, there is no need to spend so much effort to arrange any kind of oil. Isn't it more straightforward to bury a few magic crystal steam mines?

Therefore, the purpose of the Russians is definitely not to kill the target, otherwise they will not bury such a scary but completely non-lethal weapon, but should directly put a lot of mines that are easy to install. But what are they trying to do without killing the target? Is it for catching alive?

The purpose of catching monsters is nothing more than several situations. Either a certain mission target specifies what creatures to catch alive, or it wants to capture the captives to obtain information. The last type is to catch the magic pet. Except for these three cases, generally no one will Choose to catch it alive.

The situation of capturing captives now seems obviously inappropriate, because these things don't seem to be prepared for humanoid creatures. As for the possibility of catching magic pets ... it doesn't look like it. Even if you want to catch the magic pet, it is a single player. I have never heard of senior players from all over the country who collectively catch the magic pet. Even if the Russians want to have a Guinness World Record for many people to catch the magic pet together, they will definitely not do so at this point, so this possibility can basically be ignored.

Remove the last two possibilities, then there is only one reason left. The Russians have a mission, and they have to catch this creature alive to complete the mission. However, this answer is actually the most useless answer, because just knowing that the Russians have a task, but not knowing what tasks they have, neither their task goals nor their task rewards, is equal to everything. do not know.

"What the **** do these guys want to do?" I had cramps in my head holding the leaf that was soaked with oil, but I couldn't think of an answer.

Just when I was in a dead end, Xiao Feng's words suddenly reminded me. "In fact, rather than guessing the purpose of the Russians here, it is better to figure out what kind of creature they are going to catch."

"Yeah." I suddenly thought that when we were in doubt before, it was because Sutter had a fragrant fruit. At that time, our inference was that some players picked fragrant nuts and dropped one in the middle. Infer from this idea, then this fragrant fruit must be related to the task, otherwise the Russians do not have to pick this thing. However, according to Sauter, fragrant fruit has no use at all except it can be eaten ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ And this thing has no taste, and most people will not eat it. However, Sauter also said at the time that there is a creature that likes to eat fragrant fruit. Then, according to this clue, it is likely that the Russians collected fragrant fruit for U bait, and then collected the oil traps that the Russians engaged in. It is not difficult to guess the Russians' approximate plan. "Yes, it must be so." I was very sure.

"What did you think of?" Ling asked curiously. I told Ling Ting what he had said and my thoughts, and Ling immediately understood it. "So, as long as you know what it is like to eat this fragrant fruit, you can know what kind of creatures the Russians are going to catch."

Xiaochun also said, "Don't that Sauter know? Just ask."

"Darts." I called out the darts. I was too late to return to Thort to seal the throne of the Seal of God, let the darts spread the word fastest.

The dart that cleared the mission disappeared in the woodland in a flash, and then he ran back again in less than five minutes. With the light movement ability of the dart, this way is less than a second, and it is estimated that it took five minutes. It is the time of the Seal of Thrones when talking with Sauter.

"Dart, what the **** does that like to eat fragrant fruit?"
