Volume 19 Chapter 46 Russian elites digging pits everywhere
"Can you tell me what kind of adventurer it is?" Ling had exchanged opinions with me and asked the skeleton lord directly.
The skeleton lord immediately replied when he heard Ling's question: "I didn't see that group of people specifically. I was in another area at that time. Later, when I returned here, I realized that the master was dead. But I can call the people present at that time and tell you in detail."
Ling nodded and told him to let him as soon as possible. The skeleton lord quickly summoned the insider to report the situation to us.
The Skeleton Lord called a Void Spirit. This undead creature has average frontal attack ability, but its ability to escape and sneak attack is first-class. If the whole team is killed, it would not be surprising that he can survive.
Because the spirit of the Void is also a high-level undead, it has a very high intelligence. After understanding our intentions, it quickly introduced the situation at that time. According to the introduction of the spirit of the Void, their undead was absorbing evil auras in the curse earth. But if you don’t know what happened, a team of undead suddenly reported an invader outside, and then they went to fight, but they were completely destroyed by the other party.
"The person who came here is amazing?" I asked out loud.
The Void Walker quickly explained: "It's not very powerful. We were completely destroyed because we couldn't beat them. In fact, the average combat power of the other party was not as good as ours. Although more than 30 high-level undead were killed, more than 200 people died on our side, so in terms of losses alone, we actually took a little advantage. The reason why they could destroy us was just because there were more people."
"How many people did you meet at that time?"
"The specific number is uncertain. I glanced at at least 500 people. I didn't know if there were any. You also know that you can't see too far in the forest!"
I nodded and said, "Do you know what characteristics they have besides the number of people? For example, what about appearance?"
The spirit of void immediately said: "The other party has many races. You also know that it is normal for multiple races to be mixed among adventurers, so if you want to say that you have a special appearance, you really can't say this. But..."
"But what?"
"But there seem to be many strong warriors in the opponent's team. These people are generally beast tribes, and they are all amazing in height, at least among adventurers."
Tall figure is also a characteristic of Russians, but this is just indirect evidence. To determine whether the attacks on the undead are Russian elites, more direct evidence must be required. However, after all, we were not present at the time, so it was not so easy to want more direct evidence. After thinking for a while, I suddenly asked: "By the way, have you seen a person in the team who has a lot of tattoos tattooed on their bodies?" I was actually talking about a barbarian warrior. This profession is a popular profession in Russia. If there are a large number of such professional players in the team, then I will not run away.
After hearing my words, the spirit of void immediately said, "Yes, there are many guys who have a lot of tattoos on their bodies in the team, and many of them are naked, and their muscles look like stones, giving people a very strong feeling."
Hearing the Spirit of Void say this, I have confirmed that those people are the elites of the Russians, but what are they planning to do when so many of them run into the national barrier? Even if the Russians plan to invade China through here, there is no need to send so many elites to eradicate the monsters in the national barrier in advance, right? Besides, I don’t think they really plan to invade China from here. Not to mention how they want to pass through this mountainous area, even if there is a flat horse here, so what if the troops can be directly driven in? **
*This is not like the eastern region. It is a standard city with a large area and sparse population, and basically no important resource. The Russians cannot harm our fundamental interests even if they enter here. Even if they can conquer one or two cities here, they can only loot a little bit of property, and even their military sending costs are not enough. Therefore, the Russians will definitely not invade China from here. The strategic depth of the *** region is too large, and the invasion from here cannot give full play to the advantages of surprise attacks.
Since we are not planning to open the way for invasion, the Russians must have some plans to transfer all the elites from the country here, but we just can't figure it out yet.
"Do you know where those people are now?" I suddenly went over Ling and asked the Void Spirit.
The Void 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 Void finished speaking, the skeleton lord next to him immediately said: "I know this, they are still in that area now. After the Great Lord was killed, I sent someone back to reconnaissance. The other party seemed to be still in that curse land. However, according to the reward, many people came to the other party later and kept coming in and out, and it seemed that they were preparing something."
"Do you know what you are preparing?"
The Skeleton Lord shook his head and said, "I don't know this. The scout said there were too many people on the other side, so they didn't dare to get too close."
I nodded and said, "So please send someone to take us to see, right?"
"It's OK." The Skeleton Lord nodded in agreement with my request, and then said to the Soul Devourer who had brought us over before: "Take the guests back, and I'll send a scout to take you there right away."
The Soul-Devouring Nodded and sent us back to the place we had left before. When we returned to our previous position, Sort shouted in surprise: "Why are we back again? I didn't see them using teleportation just now?"
"That's not teleportation." Ling explained to them: "It's a soul projection. We haven't moved just now. When we saw the skeleton lord, we were actually our soul. Our body had never left this place. As for when we came back, it was even simpler. If the other party canceled the spell, we would naturally return."
"So that's it. I really didn't expect the undead to have such powerful skills."
"This is the strategic skill of advanced undeads. Ordinary undeads can't be used." I said, "I will investigate the situation of those players later, but I guess I need to sneak up at that time. You and A Duo are waiting here. I will arrange for the Soul Devourers to protect you, and we will leave together when I come back."
After sending a few ghost beetles to follow the group of people, I walked out from behind the hiding tree with the Void Spirit. Perhaps I knew I would ask, and the Void Spirit said to me as soon as it came out: "I don't know what these are. They have been laying out such things since they arrived here. Now this forest area is almost filled with them. Except for a passage that was deliberately left behind, this thing is almost everywhere here."
"so much?"
"Yes, there are a lot of people. These guys have not stopped for three days, and they have a lot of people, so they are very fast when they divide the labor and arrange the work."
"You haven't seen any other creatures encounter these things?"
The Void Spirit shook his head and said, "There were many small local creatures running over these things before, but I don't know if it was because of the small size and it was impossible to trigger it or why those things did not react at all."
"This is the national barrier area, and there must be many advanced creatures. In theory, there should be a lot of big things? Didn't one step on it?"
"No." The Void Spirit said with certainty: "Those people have special people patrolling nearby. When they encounter large creatures, they will summon their companions to kill them in advance, so no large creatures have ever encountered these things."
Judging from the words of the Spirit of Void, it seems that even if I want to use any method to experiment, because the other party has obviously already deported the creature that may trigger this kind of thing. If I inexplicably trigger one, it is likely that the other party will know that someone has come in. So, I can only give up the idea of triggering a look at the effect. However, I don’t know if it should be said that I am lucky or the Russians are unlucky. Just after I gave up the intention to trigger this thing, I unexpectedly saw the triggering effect of one of the sets of this thing.
After the group of Russians who had put those strange things left, they were targeted by my ghost beetles. After returning to a manually cut open space in the middle of the woodland, they took another set of things like gun barrels and many small rice cookers and went out. After these people left, I only left one ghost beetle to continue monitoring them, while the others stared at the open space.
Less than three minutes after the group of people left, a group of people came from outside the open space. It seemed that they were here to get these things. However, there seemed to be a guy in the team who had a problem with his brain. Anyway, the guy was quite careless in his work and actually knocked down one while carrying the barrel-like thing. As a result, the thing not only fell down by itself, but also hit several small rice cookers like devices. At this moment, several small rice cookers and the fallen barrel were immediately triggered together.
I said before that this thing is really nothing wrong with the cannon barrel. This thing is a cannon, but it does not fire steel shells or compress energy, but a black viscous liquid that looks like ink.
The falling gun barrel sprayed out a large ball of black liquid when it fell. After flying more than two meters horizontally, the liquid ball suddenly exploded and instantly sprayed out the nearby group of people coming to carry things and the surrounding forests. It can be imagined that if this thing was not just because it was upside down, but was placed vertically, then the radius of dozens of meters around it would probably be sprayed into black by this thing.
In addition to that barrel, those things like rice cookers are another kind of equipment. There is a round opening on the top of these things that look like a trap, which will suddenly bite when touched, but I didn't see how advanced it is than ordinary traps. However, since the Russians have made it like this, there must be a reason, but I didn't expect 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 liquid on it, but when I got the leaf, I became even more confused.
"Is this... tin oil?"
The tincture oil mentioned here is not ordinary tincture oil, but an oil extract. It is no secret that there is oil in the map of Zero. Many guilds can also use oil to make incendiary bombs, so oil is also a resource here.
In reality, people will separate oil into various different products such as diesel, gasoline and asphalt, but in the game, few guilds can copy real equipment, so what they get after using native methods to decompose oil is not gasoline and diesel, but this black and viscous black liquid. In fact, to put it bluntly, this kind of tiny oil is basically not much different from oil. In addition to the slight decrease in specific gravity and is easier to ignite, it is basically the same as crude oil.
After figuring out what this black liquid is, I summoned Ling and several other magic pets with good brains. After concentrating everyone's wisdom and speculation, we finally came to this conclusion. No matter how the shape of the rice cooker changes, they cannot change the basic function of the clip. However, it is obvious that the things that are very shallow and have no fixed are difficult to trap large creatures, and their triggering sensitivity is obviously not prepared for small creatures. Therefore, we believe that this type of rice cooker clip should not be designed to limit the movement of the creature, but to slow down the opponent. As for the oily gun barrel, it is obviously developed to completely stain the target with tinder oil. With those clips, it is not difficult to imagine that the function of these clips is to limit the speed of the target creature and allow the tinder oil emitter to completely cover it. In other words, the clip is not the point, the focus is to cover the target with tinder oil.
Although we figured out that covering the target with tinder oil is the purpose of the Russians, we can't figure out what they are going to do. Generally speaking, if we use tinder oil to pour the opponent, the next step is to burn it with fire. But the problem is that if we want to burn an enemy with fire, it will definitely take a long time. Even if those Russians plan to kill some creatures, there is no need to spend so much effort to arrange any tinder oil. Isn't it more direct to bury a few magic crystal steam mines?
Therefore, the Russians' purpose is definitely not to kill the target, otherwise they would not bury such a scary but not deadly weapon, but should directly place many easily installed mines. But what are they planning to do if they don't kill the target? Is it to capture it alive?
