Liu Zao?
Is Chen Ming confused?
How could he be here... There were only three of us who fell into this giant tree. Liu Zao didn't come in at all. He should still be working with Huang Xiao and the others.
He felt it was ridiculous, but seeing Chen Ming's frightened expression, he still frowned and followed his gaze.
Chen Ming is cautious and a little lacking in courage, but he shouldn't be frightened into hallucinations, right?
However, when Lin You looked over there, a look of surprise suddenly flashed across his eyes.
That person is...Liu Zao?
A little further ahead... not far below the human-faced spider, or the insect queen, a man was being tied tightly to a huge rock by a large amount of insect silk.
The person on the boulder must have fainted long ago, looking pale and with some insect silk scattered on his pale face, but one could still vaguely identify him as Liu Zao!
"How is this possible?"
Lin You was shocked. Could it be that Liu Zao was also swallowed by the giant tree?
But it doesn't make sense. They have been active in various caves since they were swallowed. How could Liu Zao be tied up and thrown into the monster's nest without making any noise?
No matter what, Liu Zao is also a good player in the top ten of the Rising Star List. When encountering difficulties, he is not without the ability to resist. During the resistance, he should have discovered them and joined them.
Or is there another entrance to this insect nest?
Regarding this point, Lin You did not have the time to analyze it carefully. Liu Zao's current situation was very bad. From his perception, his breath was already very weak.
The person is not dead, but from the point of view of cutting off the connection of soul, you can see how dangerous it is.
In this state, any attack from a white star monster would be fatal to him!
Hua Peiling was also very surprised, and the coldness on her face almost collapsed.
This scene had a great impact on the three of them.
After the initial shock, Lin You began to frown and ponder, thinking carefully about how to rescue Liu Zao.
It will definitely not work if we just rush forward like this.
If they disturbed the monster, not to mention their own safety, Liu Zao would definitely be doomed.
With his soul connection severed, he no longer had the protection of a soul barrier and couldn't even actively use his magic power to protect himself. With his small body, even ten lives wouldn't be enough!
In the end, Liu Zao died, and they faced greater danger.
If that's the case, it's better not to save him!
While thinking about the rescue strategy, Lin You was also curious about one thing.
How on earth did they get down here?
According to his idea, there might be a monster underground that controls the overall situation and has extraordinary individual power. This conjecture has now been confirmed.
But what I didn't expect was that this monster was actually sleeping!
If it was a disguise, Chestnut Ball couldn't detect any trace of it.
Of course, facing such an existence, even Chestnut Ball himself did not dare to be sure of his own judgment. Perhaps the Insect Queen had some way to block or even mislead its perception.
At this time, unconditional trust in the perceived results will bring disaster.
Previously, those caves above had a strong perception isolation effect, making it difficult for Chestnut Ball's perception to penetrate them.
Now it seems that this cave is most likely the territory of the insect queen, so it is not surprising that it has some means of blocking perception.
However, Lin You didn't think that the other party was sleeping on purpose.
Why would such an existence need to be seduced in this way?
They have all been taken underground now. If they really want to attack, they can do it now!
How could someone as powerful as the Insect Queen be afraid of these three people in her own territory?
Even if the Gunner Dragon is here, it is a Red Star monster like it, but as the insect queen of the secret realm monsters, its combat capability is likely to be higher than its, or even have a clear advantage.
Even among the Red Star monsters, Dragonite is definitely not weak!
Besides, if she was afraid of the Gunner Dragon, how much effect would such temptation have?
Are you hoping to launch a sneak attack on Gunner Long, who is also a Red Star?
That's a bit ridiculous. The Gunner Dragon will never approach on his own initiative for no reason. Moreover, even if it is attacked by surprise, with the powerful vitality of the Red Star level, can it kill it with one blow?
And if the insect queen was really asleep, who released those piercing sound waves just now?
And who pulled them down?
There were too many doubts for Lin You to digest in such a short time.
But his first consideration now was how to rescue the dying Liu Zao.
If one is not careful, the other party may die.
Lin You was still thinking, but Chen Ming couldn't help but whispered, "Lin You, have you come up with any good ideas? Liu Zao is still alive, but in a while, he might not be. It's probably difficult for us to go up and untie him like this. The uncertainty is too great, but if we don't help, he might not be able to hold on for too long. This..."
Chen Ming was extremely anxious, but he was in a dilemma and could not think of a perfect solution.
Hua Peiling didn't say anything, but she also frowned.
Although Liu Zao and she didn't have much in common, they were alumni and colleagues. Hua Peiling couldn't let him die like this.
At this moment, she couldn't think of a solution and subconsciously looked at Lin You.
But she didn't say anything. She could see that Lin You was thinking and it was not appropriate to speak and disrupt his train of thought.
Lin You pondered for a moment and asked Chestnut Ball, "How is it, little guy? Did you sense anything?"
"Coolie~"
Chestnut Ball shook his head with a bitter look on his face. After sensing for a while, he could not sense anything else except the terrifying aura of the Insect Queen.
But unfortunately, it is difficult to confirm this.
The insect queen's aura was too strong, and she was not friendly, so she covered many people indiscriminately.
This is not the key point. The key point is that in this huge nest, the penetration of perception is obviously suppressed.
It is somewhat similar to the cave above, but with stronger suppression.
If he were up there, in the cave, Chestnut Ball would have a very clear perception of the things inside the cave.
But here, even inside the nest, it still seemed a little hazy.
Coupled with the huge disturbance of the aura, it becomes even more difficult for it to accurately detect whether there is any aura hidden in this space.
Is it hard to perceive...
Lin You frowned slightly and looked at the chestnut ball again. "Little guy, go and try it out and see how strong those silk threads are. Don't be anxious, just try it secretly."
In its elf form, the chestnut ball is almost undetectable to humans or animals.
So far, the only people who are suspected of sensing its existence are a few powerful people who are responsible for hosting the Battle of the Throne at the National Freshman Exchange Competition.
Those people have unfathomable strength and are at least legendary duelists. How can ordinary people be compared with them?
No, they are just extraordinary. I’m afraid not many people can be identified with them.
Therefore, Lin You was absolutely confident about the concealment of the chestnut ball in this state.
The chestnut ball also took action quickly and flew slowly towards Liu Zao.
Lin You also stared at that place, not forgetting to send a message to the two people beside him, "Don't panic, I have a plan."
After hearing what he said, both Hua Peiling and Chen Ming felt the pressure in their hearts relieved a lot.
Although this seems a bit strange, there is no way around it. Lin You's words really make people feel at ease.
This is what their experience since entering the secret realm has taught them!
However, tension is certain.
It is true that they trust Lin You, but they know in their hearts that Lin You is not a god and it is impossible for him to always solve all problems smoothly.
At this time, the two of them were also staring at the huge rock.
Since they couldn't see Li Ziqiu, they thought Lin You was still waiting for an opportunity and didn't dare to act rashly.
Little did he know that the chestnut ball had already flown to Liu Zao and was sensing the depth of the insect silk.
Although the perception becomes relatively hazy here, it does not mean that it is completely ineffective. I can still perceive some things, not to mention the depth perception at such a close distance.
Lin You naturally wouldn't let Li Ziqiu act rashly. After all, Liu Zao, who was tied up here, might still be a trap.
He now had some idea. Perhaps the Insect Queen was too disdainful to set any traps and was indeed in a deep sleep. However, there might be other monsters here, and their levels would not be low.
This trap might have been set by them for the insect queen, and the sharp sound waves before were also their doing.
The purpose was very clear, which was to force them to leave the cave full of insect eggs and stop the destruction inside.
Those insect eggs are of great value to them, or to the insect queen.
When deterrence failed, they had no choice but to resort to the worst possible strategy and drag them into their lair.
However, due to the threat of the Gunner Dragon, they did not dare to engage in head-on combat easily.
If this is the case, it is very likely that the insect queen is in deep sleep.
Of course, maybe it’s not sleeping, but some form of practice.
Lin You knew in advance that the high-level monsters in these secret realms had ways to improve themselves and become stronger.
Just like the Amazon Queen who lives alone in the Imperial Valley mentioned by Heiyuan, we cannot hastily define her as a "house girl". She is practicing diligently day and night, a practicing maniac!
As for the insect queen, whether she is practicing or sleeping, it won’t be a problem for the time being.
"Coolie~"
After sensing for a while, Chestnut Ball came to the conclusion that there was nothing abnormal about the insect silk.
But at the same time, it was also discovered that the silk was relatively hard.
This level of skill is nothing to several super-black star monsters, and they can be broken without expending too much energy.
But no matter how fast it is, it is not an instant.
After all, it's impossible for a few monsters to go all out, right?
If that happens, not only the insect silk will be destroyed, but Liu Zao will also be doomed.
He is completely defenseless now.
Moreover, if the firepower is fully opened and the noise is loud, those guys hiding in the dark will definitely not remain unmoved.
If only Liu Zao could wake up at this moment and quickly complete the soul connection, then many worries would be eliminated.
Let’s try and see if we can wake him up first!
But we can't rely entirely on this.
As he sorted out the current information, Lin You gradually came up with some ideas.
Suddenly, magic drove.
Under the summoning light, the figure of a skilled black magician appeared on the scene.
When fighting against that group of scarabs before, Lin You used this card as one of the sacrifices to summon Gunner Dragon.
But after that, a long time passed quietly.
The skilled Black Magician, who had not triggered any special effects and had suffered zero casualties, had emerged from his dormant period as a White Star Card.
Seeing Lin You summoning monsters, Chen Ming was very puzzled, and even Hua Peiling was a little confused.
No one understands the point of summoning a white star monster at this time.
Could it be that this monster has some special effects that are suitable for the current situation?
Or maybe, it was to test whether summoning monsters at this moment would cause some unexpected changes?
Judging from the current situation, everything around is normal.
This was not surprising to the two of them. If there was really trouble, it would have broken out as soon as they came in.
The problem now still lies with Liu Zao.
No one dared to touch him easily, as doing so might lead to his irreparable destruction.
millet
Chen Ming suddenly sent a voice message to Hua Peiling, "Hua Peiling, you suggested using wind elements to quickly cut through the silk threads, then wrap Liu Zao in them and blow him back. Is this method feasible? Both of your monsters are experts in wind elements. With your combined efforts, you might be able to succeed. But be careful not to blow Liu Zao to death. Sigh, without a soul barrier, the restrictions are still too great..."
Hua Peiling raised her eyes slightly. This method seemed to have some chance?
But it's hard to say. The hardness of the silk is still unknown. If you act rashly, it will be too much of a gamble. If you make a mistake, Liu Zao will be finished.
After thinking for a moment, he said in a low voice, "Didn't Lin You say he had a plan? Then let's do as he said. If Liu Zao is killed, there's nothing we can do. The most reliable people have failed, which means it's his fate. We are powerless."
"I can't tell, Hua Peiling, do you still believe in fate?"
Chen Ming opened his mouth slightly in surprise, but was met with a cold look from Hua Peiling, and he stopped talking immediately.
Well, you have a point. If even the most reliable people are powerless to change the situation, then there is really nothing we can do.
For a moment, I felt even more uneasy.
Don’t die, you money-grubber, you’re still young!
…
tropical rainforest.
A fierce battle is still going on.
The one with the most prominent aura is still Linas holding the holy sword.
The momentum she displayed at this moment was far greater than at the beginning, but at this moment, she was not in a hurry to act.
In addition to the usual fierceness on Linas's face, there was also a bit of solemnity.
What caught her eye was a large group of jumping Yoyo derivatives, which was giving her the most headache right now!
Just before, she gathered her energy and unleashed a terrifying blow with her holy sword.
That attack was extremely powerful and instantly killed the enemy's ace monster... Chen Yi's Yoyo King.
But after the Yoyo King was shattered, a large number of Yoyo derivatives were born in the field.
Although there are many of those Youyou derivatives, they look very fragile.
In fact, this was true. Linas easily eliminated the group of Yoyo derivatives by herself.
However, bad things also happened from then on.
After the group of Yoyo derivatives were destroyed, a huge square energy bomb flew out.
Linas instinctively felt the horror at that moment and tried to dodge, but there was no way to dodge.
The square energy bomb was like a tracking missile. The faster Linas ran, the faster it followed.
Using attacks to intercept it will not work either. It will directly penetrate those attacks like a ghost.
In the end, it exploded accurately on her.
That blow also hurt her badly.
Not only that, all the Yoyo derivatives that she dealt with were resurrected for some unknown reason!
Linas was stubborn and didn't believe it at first, so she started another round of cleaning.
The result was that he was directly blasted all over his body, bleeding profusely, and his breath was extremely weak.
This scene also shocked Chen Yi and the other two.
King Yoyo was killed instantly, and what followed was the maximized Yoyo derivative.
After the destruction of these Youyou derivatives, the energy absorbed by the Derivative Explosion card was enormous. Gu Du and Huang Xiao were not unfamiliar with it at all, not to mention Chen Yi himself.
It is no exaggeration to say that this energy is enough to kill ordinary super-black star-level monsters in seconds.
What's the result?
Linas, a super black star, still survived after being bombarded by two rounds of Yoyo derivatives.
Although its life is already a candle in the wind, the strength of this kind of life force is far beyond the super black star level that ordinary people understand.
In this state, Linas struggled for a moment and died.
But then, a rich bronze glow shone through.
Chen Yi and the other two were not unfamiliar with this light.
This kind of light appeared before in the swamp source when we first killed those Amazons.
This kind of light is the gift of the Amazon!
But what was different from before was that the light that appeared this time was obviously much stronger.
Under the bright light, Linas' figure suddenly reappeared.
It’s different from the previous situation!
When the Amazons died before, the most powerful Amazon archer took longer to resurrect than the others.
At this moment, the more powerful Linas recovered in a moment. Not only that, her aura became even more terrifying.
That is the scene right now.
Linas, who was driving the holy sword, looked at the large number of Yoyo derivatives and was no longer in a hurry to take action.
Carloye engaged in a fierce battle with Huang Xiao's Red Lotus Demon Fighter, using his hard fists to continuously collide with the serrated sword wielded by the Red Lotus Demon Fighter, causing sonic booms one after another.
However, the Red Lotus Demon Fighter was not prepared to fight her alone. Not long into the fight, two reinforcements appeared beside him.
These two are from the warrior clan, and their levels are both super black star.
Huang Xiao alone is driving three super black star monsters to fight!
Of course, the core of the battle is still the Red Lotus Demon Fighter, which is a duel-level existence after all.
The other two produced some synergistic effects with him, and with their assistance, the Red Lotus Demon Fighter appeared even more powerful.
With their joining, Carloye, who was originally suppressing the Red Lotus Demon Fighter, suddenly became the suppressed one, and was suppressed quite badly.
Huang Xiao's strength is naturally not to be underestimated. No matter how strong Carloye is, he is limited to the super black star level... Unless he can reach the extreme of this field, the ace level, he will have no way to fight against Huang Xiao.
As for the last one, the Amazon named Shupa who had been chasing Gu Dushe before, was now facing Gu Du again.
In a one-on-one situation, Gu Du also broke out. He had a chance to avenge the arrow that shot him before... Oh, no, it was revenge for the multiple arrows!
The wooden giant also received layers of bonuses.
Not only does it increase the power of magic cards, but there are also some medium-sized wooden figures that supply it with power.
Including his Origin card, Legoman!
There is an extremely powerful synergy between this card and the Wooden Giant.
Whenever this card is released, the Wooden Giant's attack power will increase by 1000 points and its awakening degree will temporarily increase by 10%.
It turns out to be a powerful effect involving the increase in awakening level!
Although this 10% is a fixed increase, rather than a bonus based on 10% of one's own awakening level, it is still powerful enough.
After all, increasing a monster's attack power only improves its basic attack ability.
However, the increase in awakening level strengthens the various moves that the monster has mastered.
For example, for a Chimera with the wind element as its core, the wind sword's attack power simply increases, unless it reaches a certain level, and has little impact on the power of this move.
But if it is changed to awakening level, the power will increase significantly.
In terms of value, the former is better for non-Duel-level monsters, but the opposite is completely different.
What Duel-level monsters rely on most is their own awakening level!
Can maximize benefits!
The rough increase in panel values may be more suitable for red star-level monsters.
After all, in the super destructive attack mode, the increase in attack power is several times or even dozens of times!
In this case, the Red Star Monster's panel values can easily soar to a terrifying level. At that time, there is really no need to awaken it. All enemies can be crushed by relying on the panel values alone!
At this moment, as a super black star-level wooden giant, he could not experience the pleasure of breaking through thousands of troops. The increase in his awakening made him enjoy it more.
After several rounds of upgrades, the wooden giant displayed amazing combat power.
Facing Shupa's powerful arrows, he responded directly with a large rotating log.
The arrow hit the big wood and resisted for a few seconds before being torn into pieces by the kinetic energy of the wood's rotation.
The wooden giant was relentless and condensed many long, sharp pieces of wood. Those pieces of wood were like giant needles, stabbing at Shupa who was moving at high speed.
Shupa was only concerned with running away for a moment, and long wooden sticks kept getting stuck in her path, splashing up pieces of mud.
A lot of mud also stained Shupa, making her look even more miserable.
At this moment, in this three-on-three battle, Chen Yi and others had a clear advantage!
Linas's face was a little ugly. She clenched her fists, wavered in her heart for a moment, and suddenly shouted: "Kaloye, Shupa, activate the Wang family's secret treasure!"
Hearing her shout, Carloye and the other man were both startled.
Unexpectedly, in a three-on-three situation, they were forced to this point. Did they need to use up the precious Wang family secret treasures?
"clear!"
Although they were unwilling, they did not resist Linas's orders.
I had originally wanted to delay time as much as possible, waiting for other tribesmen to arrive, and then easily defeat these people with the advantage in numbers.
But I didn't expect that these people would take advantage of me and make me think I had a sure win.
Now it seems that there is no need to think about saving anymore, it is time to teach these human world duelists a lesson!
…
Inside the huge insect nest.
The chestnut ball gently floated towards Liu Zao, and a pair of short claws gently pressed against his face. Two circles of pure white light could be seen on the short claws.
That was spiritual power!
At this moment, the one who consumed spiritual energy was naturally not Li Ziqiu, but Lin You.
He also had a sudden idea. The chestnut ball in the elf state is now the source of his soul, so it might work to use the little guy to transmit some spiritual power.
The spiritual power conducted in this way may show a significant decline in quality, but as long as a sufficient amount is input, the lack of quality can be compensated to a certain extent.
The loss should be considerable, but doing so is not without merit.
At least in terms of concealment, it is far better than Lin You's overt input.
The spiritual power output by Chestnut Ball in its elf form appears to be even more illusory.
It is impossible to capture it with the naked eye, but it can be captured through perception, and relatively easily.
People like Lin You can sense the release of spiritual power very clearly.
But this is not entirely because the chestnut ball is the source of his soul. Any psychic who has reached the senior level can easily sense the existence of that spiritual power.
But ordinary people or those monsters in secret realms can forget about it.
This is a secret place where the souls are naturally pure.
If spiritual power is released normally, it will probably merge directly with the environment without leaving any trace.
Just like this space, the ordinary flow of air is as ordinary as it is.
Therefore, it is basically impossible for non-psychics to notice this.
The chestnut ball transmitted spiritual power steadily, and there was silence all around, everything was normal.
Chen Ming, who had no idea what was going on, became increasingly anxious.
Didn’t Lin You say he had a solution?
But why after summoning the White Star Monster, apart from activating some magic cards, there has been no further movement?
Just waiting like this, what are you waiting for?
Hua Peiling said nothing, but just stared ahead silently.
It’s not that he discovered something, but he noticed that Lin You was staring in that direction, so he followed him to look. However, after looking for a long time, he still couldn’t figure out what he was looking for.
Some doubts arose in my mind.
What are you going to do this time?
