Wizard: I can refine everything
Chapter 136: Sneaking into the Insect Nest
At the border between the wizard-occupied area and the hive, small war fortresses stand along the border.
Because the number of wizards is at a disadvantage compared to the bugs, wizards are on the strategic defensive in most areas of the battle line with the bugs.
On these defensive fronts, the white wizards use the war fortresses as strongholds to monitor and harass the hives, and basically do not carry out large-scale attacks.
But as the command center issued the infiltration mission, these white wizards had to cover the infiltration of the black wizards.
"Gather."
The white wizard team leader issued an order in the soul network.
There are not many white wizards stationed in the war fortress, each with only twenty people.
This number can maintain the minimum number of white wizards. Once it is lower than this number, the white wizards will have no advantage in group combat.
As the white wizards gathered, they found that a group of black-robed wizards were waiting for them in the hall.
"Why are these black wizards here?"
"Aren't they cleaning the insects from the hive?"
"Are they here to help us defend the front line? We're not going to start an infiltration war, are we?"
...
The white wizards communicated with each other using mental messages. The white wizard captain in the center of the hall cleared his throat and announced their mission to the white wizards:
"The command center's mission requires us to cover the black wizards. Today, we need to coordinate with several surrounding fortresses to take the initiative and attract the attention of black crystal insects as much as possible to facilitate the black wizards to infiltrate the hive."
As soon as these words came out, the white wizards present stopped communicating instantly.
Infiltration war is an indispensable part of the plane expedition and also the part with the highest mortality rate.
The black wizards who infiltrate behind enemy lines will lose the support from wizards and will have to face enemies that may appear at any time from all directions.
If nothing unexpected happens, most of the white wizards present will survive until the end of the war, but most of the black wizards who sneak behind enemy lines will be buried behind enemy lines.
The captain of the white wizard team silently performed a wizard salute to the black wizard in the hall, and after him, other white wizards followed suit.
This is a long-standing tradition.
Salute to the dead.
Soon, the white wizards set out in formation, and the black wizards also showed their magical powers, hiding their bodies and moving towards the hive.
Richard activated the invisible cloak, and the whole person seemed like a shadow. In the eternal night environment of the hive world, his disguise was impeccable.
Boom!
With the explosion of the spell, the white wizard began to take action.
In order to deal with this sudden attack, the insects in the hive had to mobilize the insects in a hurry.
The warrior insects evaded and counterattacked under the arrangement of the sacrificial insects. The mother cannon spit out a deadly acid ball, and the energy arc on it was like lightning, illuminating half of the sky together with the white wizard's spell.
The insects' attention was attracted by the white wizard, and the rest depended on the black wizard's ability.
…
The nest of the black crystal insect race is extremely huge, and there are as many holes for entry and exit as stars. Although the black crystal insects have consciously filled them, there are still many passages that are unguarded.
At present, the white wizards are attacking, and a considerable number of guards have been transferred away, which also makes Richard's infiltration very smooth.
Richard, who is like a shadow, uses shadow shuttle to enter the nest in a flash. After entering, Richard did not rush to go deeper, but took out a microwave developing crystal ball and began to explore the surrounding terrain.
This crystal ball has been tested by black wizards and improved by logistics wizards, and its concealment and performance have been improved.
Now, as long as it is not used within five meters of the first-level insect, fifty meters of the second-level insect, and one hundred meters of the third-level insect, there is no possibility of being discovered.
With the detection of microwaves, a three-dimensional terrain map of the insect nest appeared in front of Richard.
Looking at the terrain displayed by the crystal ball, Richard fell into thinking.
These black wizards have a purpose to infiltrate. As a first-ring black wizard, destruction behind enemy lines is the only thing he can do.
So he should try to enter the underground nest, that is, the rear of the black crystal insect race, instead of moving in the ground nest.
But according to the topographic map, if he wants to go underground, he must pass through a passage, and there are many insects wandering near this passage.
If he is not good enough, he will be discovered if he rushes into the underground, which means he will die before he succeeds.
But if he does not take this path, he will have to open the crystal ball again to find a new path.
This is also a risk for him.
In the ground nest, the black crystal insects gather a lot of first, second and third level insects. These insects are scattered in the nest. Every time a crystal ball is opened, the risk will increase. If they find that a wizard has sneaked into their vicinity, a large search is inevitable.
In addition to the large search, it is also a problem to implicate other wizards.
This is a dilemma.
Just as Richard was thinking, a burst of fine footsteps accompanied by the low hum of the warrior insects suddenly came along the passage, which made Richard's hair stand up instantly.
Has he been discovered?
Without time to think, Richard wrapped himself in a wizard robe, and the man instantly merged into the shadows.
The shadow infiltration engraved on the Hidden Cloak finally came in handy today.
As the footsteps got closer, Richard became more and more nervous. Soon, two warrior bugs passed by him.
"What's wrong with these wizard monsters today? They suddenly attacked on such a large scale."
"I don't know, but I heard from the priest that these wizards must have planned an evil plot, otherwise they would never attack rashly."
"What is this plot?"
"How should I know? We are warriors, let the priests do the brainwork."
...
Two warrior worms passed by Richard, not noticing that there was a wizard monster lurking in the shadows around them.
After they left, Richard emerged from the shadows and said thoughtfully:
"The logistics wizard's translation of the black crystal worm language is very accurate."
In the past two years, the logistics wizard has sorted out and translated the language of the black crystal worm through various means, and made it into a heritage crystal ball for wizards to learn.
And Richard also learned this language while receiving the task props.
Judging from the current results, Richard can understand 80% of what the warrior worm said just now, and the rest he didn't understand are mostly some interjections and idioms.
Judging from what the warrior worm said just now, the black crystal worm is still unaware of the black wizard's infiltration, and he still has some time to react.
If the black crystal worm reacts, the big search will start immediately.
"But judging from the effect of the shadow infiltration, it is completely feasible to go down. These first-level warrior worms can't find me sneaking into the shadow at all."
Without hesitation, Richard immediately began to move towards the lower insect nest according to the topographic map.
On the way forward, Richard saw the appearance of the insect nest where the insects live.
Under the care of the black crystal worm, the upper insect nest did not look as dry as Richard had seen before. These insects will use the mucus secreted by their bodies to smear the walls of the insect nest. This mucus keeps the insect nest moist and nourishes the mycelium inside the walls of the insect nest.
These mycelium survive under the nourishment of mucus and then support the structure of the entire insect nest. The insects live in the insect nest and provide these mycelium with mucus continuously.
It can be said to be a win-win situation.
However, this is not so comfortable for the wizard who sneaked in.
Richard frowned and carefully used levitation to pass through a tunnel that had just been maintained by insects. The walls of this tunnel were covered with fresh, slightly green, viscous liquids, which exuded a strange sour smell that made people feel sick.
After passing through this tunnel, Richard came to the most dangerous section of the journey to the lower insect nest.
At least twenty insects were wandering beside this tunnel.
If he was discovered, although Richard would not die, his infiltration mission would be ruined.
The White Wizard Corps would not harass him again for him alone. If he wanted to sneak in again, the risk factor would increase more than a little.
Wrapping his cloak tightly, Richard entered the tunnel silently.
The low hum of the warrior insects came into Richard's ears intermittently along the tunnel. These sounds were mostly idle chatter, without much information.
For the black crystal insects who had not participated in the Battle of the Black Bone Plains, although the wizards were powerful, they were not afraid of them.
After all, they are the main race that conquered a world. In the sky, land, and underground of this world, no race can threaten their rule. The pride and confidence engraved in their blood make them believe that they can always win.
The failure in front of them is just a strategy.
Richard walked silently in the tunnel. He tried to stay close to the shadows to prevent emergencies.
But his worries seemed a bit redundant. He walked most of the tunnel without encountering any accidents.
The black crystal bugs could not imagine that there was a wizard monster walking in the tunnel just a few dozen meters away from them.
As Richard passed the last fork in the road, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
After this, it was a smooth road... There were bugs coming.
There was a burst of fine and rapid footsteps in the tunnel, as if a team of bugs were running fast.
Richard had no time to think about it. He wrapped his cloak and his whole body instantly merged into the shadows. And less than a second after he sneaked in, a team of at least twenty warrior bugs passed by him.
"The priest has ordered a big search! Big search!"
"A wizard monster has sneaked into the insect nest during the attack! All insects start patrolling immediately, and report any traces immediately!"
The leading warrior insect chirped loudly, and the sound wave instantly made all the surrounding insects move.
This leading warrior insect has reached the second-level creature, and every move of its body carries a strong force.
In the shadow not far away, Richard held his breath and watched the group of insects move quietly.
The gap between the second-level creature and the first-level creature is not small. Richard is confident that he can escape from a group of first-level insects. But if it is a second-level insect, Richard has no choice but to rely on Ulysses.
The two-star warrior insect stood beside Richard, and a pair of huge compound eyes kept scanning the surrounding environment.
Due to the intuition brought by physical evolution, it always felt that there was something around looking at it.
Its eyes kept sweeping around, and every crack in the ground and every shadow were seen by it.
But after a check, he found nothing.
He was in the tunnel now, and other creatures couldn't hide at all.
The two-star warrior worm swung its tentacles and suddenly slashed at the shadow beside it!
