Starting from Zero

"Purple Moon? Why are you here again?" Seeing me appearing in his guild, the gunman first teased for a while, and then jokingly asked: "You won't Want me to catch Divine Race for you?"

When I heard the gunman’s joke, I immediately said smoothly: "Don't tell me, it really made you guess right."

"What?" Just now the gunman was just joking with me, didn't expect actually made him bullshit. "You, you,... are you okay with your head? Free Divine Race recently lost several Divine Races and are launching forces everywhere to find someone to fight. You actually want it? You are not afraid of free Divine Race in China, but I still pay In the United States! Something really happened and you just ran off at the worst, what can I do?"

"Isn’t it just a few Divine Races that scared you?"

"How many? Free Divine Race has lost 13 members this month. Are you not enough?"

"What? Thirteen?"

Seeing the reaction, the spear god immediately realized what was wrong, so he tentatively asked: "Isn't it yours?"

"I'm a little crazy, but it is I didn’t lose my mind. I’ve attacked Free Divine Race so many times because I didn’t feel happy for myself. Since the last few votes you gave us, we haven’t dealt with Free Divine Race anymore."

After hearing what I said, the gun god frowned immediately and asked: "You really didn't send anyone here?"

"Do I have to lie to you?"

"That means the eight Divine Races that have disappeared recently have nothing to do with you?"

"Nonsense, of course it has nothing to do with me. But can you find out who attacked the free Divine Race?"< /p>

The gun god lowered his head and meditated and said: "Before you asked me to find information for you to attack Divine Race, I always thought that the subsequent attacks were all done by you, so I didn't investigate. Now look. Those traces should not be camouflage."

"Traces? What traces?"

"There were battle traces in the places where the eight Divine Race disappeared, judging from the traces The attacker is not a humanoid creature."

"Not a humanoid creature? Is it not a wild devil beast?"

"It should not be a wild devil beast. After all, it was Divine Race that was attacked. Although there are many powerful individuals in devil beasts, their distribution locations are fixed. I haven't heard of such powerful creatures in the attacked areas."

"Neither is it a wild monster, It’s so powerful, could it be a quest monster?"

Because the game "Zero" will set up a special mission for each player, it often adds a special mission suddenly because of a certain player’s mission. Devil beast or other monsters come out. However, because "Zero" is a holistic game that simulates World Rule, it is generally unlikely that these monsters will only have contact with task recipients after they appear. We are now suspecting that this creature is a special NPC, maybe those Divine Races are just unlucky.

The gun god suddenly said: "If you are not in a hurry, wait for me for a while. I will go to the forum to check if there is any other information. I always thought it was your attack. How to pay attention, now it seems I must collect information."

After I nodded, Gunslinger immediately activated the forum browsing mode, and I also went to the forum to look through it. Since the official forum of "Zero" has a high level of intelligence, we quickly found the information we needed from the massive amount of information.

There are more than 300 pieces of information I retrieved from more than 200 players. Most of them said that they were attacked by a powerful Unknown Creature in the low-level monster area, and the area where they were attacked. All happened to be in the area where the eight Divine Races were missing. Excluding the unlucky ones that even the attackers hadn't seen, some of them found more comprehensive information. One of the guys saw that the attacker was a strange-looking humanoid creature, but there was no screenshot. It just described the monster walking on two legs with words, but his upper body had three arms and two heads.

After seeing this person’s post, I looked at other posts that witnessed monsters, but the content was very strange. The monsters seen by these people are almost always different, except that the descriptions of individuals are similar. The monsters seen by other people have been changing all the time. However, based on their descriptions and the order in which the posts were posted, I quickly inferred a probability that this monster has been deforming, and it seems that it has a fixed growth goal.

After I exited the forum with this information, Gunshin also happened to come back with the information, but unlike me, he not only looked for the information himself, but also called a group of people to help retrieve the things they got. Naturally more than I am.

The two of us compared the information in such a way, and finally reached the same conclusion. "This is a mission NPC?" We both looked at each other and said in surprise.

The gun god took a map and marked out circles according to the time of the attack report, and then connected them with lines. Finally, he found that the attacker had been moving in one direction, and It consciously avoided the city and other open areas that are easy to be found by the crowd, and specifically looked for those deep in the leveling area to walk.

"This is an intelligent NPC, and it has a clear goal." I looked at the map and analyzed.

The gun god agreed with my analysis, and then he extended forward along the crooked road map, and finally let him find a more likely target point.

Looking at the last coordinate point marked by the gun god on the map, I asked in confusion: "Where is this?"

"You will never want to go after knowing it. Place." I looked at the gun god in doubt, and then waited for nearly half a minute before he continued: "The name here is-Worm Valley."

Where is the terrifying in Worm Valley, You can tell from the name. The valley itself is not a problem, the problem lies in the insects. According to the explanation of the gun god, the valley of insects is simply a museum of insects, in addition to insect or insect. Giant beetles as big as a hill, mini-insects that are so small that they are completely invisible without clustering. Any insects you can imagine in your dreams can almost find similar or even exactly the same species here. Except for a few special hobby people, this kind of place is simply a restricted area for humans. Not to mention that nine out of ten of these insects are offensive, even if they all become immovable sculptures, normal people will never want to get close to them. Especially those beautiful MMs, for them, this is the most dangerous, evil, and unbearable area of ​​the game, there is no one.

After talking about the situation in the Worm Valley, the Gun God has been staring at me, but I was surprised to see him and asked: "You shouldn’t think I’m going to block This can only attack the creatures of Divine Race, right?"

The gun god asked back: "Do you dare to say that you have no meaning at all?"

"Even if there is that, it is just a little bit. , I will not enter the Valley of Insects. Although my person’s patience for insects is pretty good, it’s better not to touch them."

"Then if I beg you Where to go?"

I stretched out a hand directly to him and said simply: "Benefit fee."

The gun god took it directly from his portable space equipment without saying anything. I put a gem the size of an oversized apple in my hand. "Natural colored diamonds are of the Gods Fire level. As long as I bid for five million, I will be snatched away if I don't need one minute."

"Your purpose?" I looked at the size of my hand. Fancy Diamond No. asked. The gun god asked me to wait first, and then ran out and made a circle. It took more than ten minutes before I ran back with a bunch of scrolls. I was taken aback when I saw the pile of scrolls he was holding. "Hey hey hey...what do you mean? When did I say you became so generous! You will get a fine diamond after a trip to the Insect Valley. Are you here waiting for me for a long time?" < /p>

The gun god deliberately pretended to be very stupid and naive. Said with a smile: "Anyway, you have to run once for one thing, and run for two things, so you can just run them all at once. Do you save trouble?"

"You save trouble, but I am in big trouble." As I said, I checked the pile of scrolls and said: "You have to have thirty scrolls, don't you? Even if your colored diamond goes to auction, it will only cost 10 million at most? There are more than 30 missions, and one mission is only more than 300,000. You will settle the bill by then."

He said unceremoniously: "Aiya, you can get more than three hundred thousand for one mission. You are not satisfied? What's more, you still complete more than thirty missions in one place at the same time, which saves you a lot of things. What else? And ah. I ask you to do so many tasks at a time, so I have to count it as a wholesale price? Besides, you originally wanted to stop that monster. It's just a matter of doing things for me, right?"< /p>

"Am I as exaggerated as you said? Okay, well, for the face of the old customer, I took this task." I smiled and put the gem away, and then put the big one away. The bundle scrolls were all carried over. "But then again, why do you have so many scrolls?"

"Received." The military god answered simply.

"What are you doing with this?" I curiously asked.

The god of war did not answer me directly, but pointed to the scrolls and said: "You can understand by looking at it."

I was puzzled and piled those scrolls on the table next to me. Go up, and wave summon to send out a group of Death God guards to help me unfold all the scrolls and hold them in my hand so that I can look at them one by one. These scrolls are all mission scrolls, without exception, the content is to be completed in the Valley of Insects, and many of the missions are to collect specified insects.

After reading the content on the scrolls, I can be considered to understand what the gun god is doing to collect these mission scrolls. It turns out that the rewards given by these scrolls without exception are all random skill learning opportunities, and it is marked below that the random range is the player's specialty skills. This so-called random range of special skills means random skills based on the player's special skills. For example, if it’s the skill of the famous blood bull warrior random, the skill you get is definitely increased blood and defense or melee attack, and if it is a turret type mage random skill, then you must get a high formidable power magic skill or Supplementary skills such as adding magic damage, in short, are definitely very useful skills that come out randomly. Although this skill is still random, there is a lot of uncertainty, but at least it sets the scope to the player’s specialty. Even if it is not the skill you want, it will definitely not be useless. .

Because of this range limitation, this kind of random opportunity is very popular. As long as there is a task to obtain this kind of random opportunity, everyone is definitely rushing to ask for it. But now, the gun god can accumulate so many such scrolls, but it brings out the terrifying of Worm Valley. You think. Even such a popular scroll that specializes in rewarding random skills is no longer needed because the mission location is in the valley of worms. To what extent should the valley of worms be terrifying?

After determining the reason why Gun God took these scrolls, I directly shouted: "I want to add..."

"I will give you three rewards." Before he finished shouting the gun god, the prophet shouted out the benefits in advance. But thinking about it, you should know that anyone who sees this thing will want to get a piece of the pie. If you need to go to the Worm's Valley, others may give up for it. I am going to do the task anyway. It is quite normal to get a few more scrolls by the way.

When I heard the words of the gun god, I said directly: "I will pick first."

The gun god nodded said: "You go first."

Others It might not make sense to pick first and pick later, it's not the same if I pick first. Because it is the task I did, and the basic rule of the task in "Zero" is that the more difficult the task, the higher the danger, the more troublesome the process, the more generous the reward. I do the tasks myself, and no one knows which task is simple and which is complicated. When the time comes, I only need to pick out the scrolls of the three tasks that caused me the most trouble. Needless to say, those tasks are definitely the best reward. Don't assume that the rewards are the same just because the rewards are all random skills. Random skills are actually divided into high and low. If it is a random opportunity for a complex task, you can generally get better skills. In contrast, the probability of getting a good skill for a simple task is much lower.

After finalizing the remuneration issue, I asked the gun god to help me pay attention to the activities of the recent free Divine Race. As for myself, I directly took the road map drawn by the gun god to block that one. The monster is gone.

The reason why I am so interested in this monster is mainly because this thing attacked several free Divine Races. One can only attack the monster of Divine Race, which means that this thing is either a powerful super imagination, or he has a method of restraining the divine force, or both. Regardless of the three situations, this monster is very important to us.

Currently, the Frost Rose League is in an expansion period, which means that we will have a conflict with Divine Race in many countries. According to system regulations, the local Divine Race cannot participate in the war in the external expansion. In other words, Celestial Court cannot give us any help on the surface when our guild expands. All we can rely on besides ourselves is the Divine Race. However, compared to the attacking side, the attacked country has the opposite setting. Although the local Divine Race cannot participate in foreign aggression, it has the right to act on the local defense. For example, when we attacked Japan before, in addition to dealing with Japanese players, we also had to fight against the Divine Race headed by Amaterasu. This is because Divine Race is almost unrestricted in the local defense battle.

The strength of our guild determines that in the future, we will only invade people, and it is unlikely that players from other countries will hit our country. And with the strength of Celestial Court, if other countries really hit Chinese territory, it is estimated that even if we do not participate in the war, Celestial Court can drive all those people outside the national border. Therefore, what is most urgently needed for us is a way to fight Divine Race.

Our guild’s use of mobile angels for Divine Race is a solution, but adding one is too exaggerated. It's OK to support a local battle. The frontal battlefield is definitely not enough. Although Guild Divine Race is also a way to fight against the opponent's Divine Race, everyone knows how difficult it is to develop Guild Divine Race. The chaos and order of our guild Divine Race is currently the only guild Divine Race in the world. This shows the difficulty of creating a guild Divine Race, and although our chaos and order Divine Race was founded, it is just like that. It’s just recently that Hades and the others came in to take shape. Before, basically those Divine Races were swaying. It is said that the guild Divine Race is just an empty shelf, except for Vina, Xinghuo and Peacock. There are basically no people outside.

In addition to the guild Divine Race and the use of mobile angels for Divine Race, the number of players in our guild that can really deal with Divine Race is too small, and apart from Christina, Zhenhong, gold coin and other powerful players In addition to the personnel, even if other people can fight Divine Race, they will have to fight one by one, and they have to deal with the ordinary Divine Race that is not very strong. If you run into those well-known high level Divine Race, these players Lima will be useless.

Because I am so stretched in the ability to fight Divine Race, I am so interested in this creature that can only attack Divine Race. If I can catch it, find a way to fight Divine Race on it, and popularize it, then we will no longer have to worry about the Divine Race in the countries that have been invaded in the future.

With the anticipation of this powerful creature, I kept urging the birds to speed up their flight along the way, and soon we arrived near the Worm Valley.

In fact, the Valley of Insects is not just a valley, it should be regarded as a general term for a large area of ​​mountains and forests, but because the peaks in this area are very steep, it is basically impossible to stay on those mountains. So everyone calls this place the valley of bugs instead of the mountain of bugs.

Different from the forest in reality, there is often no obvious transition zone. The boundaries of most areas in the game are very obvious. Like this worm valley, when there are tens of kilometers away from the real valley, there are still plains below, but after a few kilometers forward, you immediately see a tall mountain range. If you look down from a high altitude, you will find that this mountain range is almost a circle connected end to end, enclosing the entire worm valley in this screen-like mountain range. There are a total of seven openings in the entire mountain range, and the widest one is no more than 20 meters. The width of the mountain pass where I am now is only more than three meters wide.

After arriving at the mountain pass, I did not rush down, but first observed the structure of the entire valley. The ring-shaped valley outside is like an iron bucket that encloses the valley of insects. The peaks inside are also very narrow and narrow peaks, just like the city wall in the labyrinth. The mountain is within the valley. The east and the west of the circle are one piece. Although the road does not seem to be chaotic in the sky, it is because of the reasons seen from above. If people are in the mountains, it is easy to get lost.

In addition to the complicated internal results, I also found that the environment of this ghost place seems to be different from the outside. The area where the Worm Valley is located should be regarded as a temperate zone, surrounded by grasslands and ordinary mixed forests of multiple species, but within the valley is a cloud of mountains and mist. Except for the peaks, most of the area is covered by dense water vapor, and From those canopies that occasionally rise above the foggy environment, the plants here seem to be tropical rainforest plants. According to my estimation, there may be two reasons for the formation of such an environment. One is that the outer ring-shaped mountain range forms an isolation barrier to isolate the environment of the mountain within the valley from the outside. The second is that the mountains within the valley must have large geothermal areas and abundant surface water. This water is heated by geothermal heat to form water vapor to cover the valley. At the same time, due to the protection of the annular mountain range, the geothermal heat cannot diffuse. It can only continue to heat the air in the valley within the valley. The final result is to harden the temperature environment within the valley from the temperate zone. Became tropical.

After confirming the general environment of the mountain within the valley, I landed at the mouth of the valley and started hiking into the valley. This kind of monster gathering area in "Zero" has a characteristic, that is, it cannot fly directly in from the sky. This does not mean that you cannot fly in, but that you will be punished by the system if you enter in this way. You can fly directly over a leveling zone, but don't land, and don't fly too low, otherwise various accidents will occur, and the results will usually be worse. This is the experience that many players have summed up after hanging up countless times, and it is better not to try it for ordinary people.

With my strength, of course, I don’t care about general accidents, but I can have a little trouble, why should I find it hard for myself?

Before entering the valley, I first left a few ghost worms at the valley mouth as my eyes instead of me to monitor the valley mouth. According to the distance on the map and the time difference of the attack, the moving speed of the monster can be roughly calculated. Calculating at this rate, it is estimated that it will take him more than ten hours to reach the Valley of Worms. I don't want to wait for him here for more than ten hours, so I plan to go in and finish the task scrolls. But having said that, the gun god this guy will really settle the bill! More than 30 scrolls, when will you be so busy doing them all at once?

"Quickly, quickly, help me make a statistic." At the mouth of the valley, I unfolded all the task scrolls and asked the Death God guards to hold them, and then called out the humanoid familiars to help me open them. The content of the task. Ling took a notebook to do statistics there, and the others classified various types of tasks and reported them to Ling in turn. Because we have a lot of people, it only took a short while to count all the tasks.

Ling stood in front of me with a notebook and said: "According to statistics, we need to do the following things for this mission. First, we need to collect fifteen kinds of insects. Here are the names and quantities. Take a look for yourself and notice that there are a few of them that need to be alive, and one must be a complete corpse and cannot be broken. In addition to these insects, we also need to collect the special parts of three plants, and we also need to find one A special stone called cotton stone. In addition, we must kill nine insects to obtain their special parts. The specific species, collection parts, and quantity are written on the paper just given to you. Finally, we need to find three here. The cave has obtained different treasures, and we have to find two cemeteries and an abandoned laboratory. The task is to find a specific item in it."

I took the long list in my hand and looked at it. Frowned. "Why are there so many things?"

"No way, that's the content of the task. If there is one less one, there will be one less task." Ling reported helplessly.

"Well, you remember. The rest of you go back to the training space first, Xiaofeng, King, and Sha Yezi stay. Oh, by the way, Ghost Lantern, you come out too."

I said earlier that the biggest advantage of the trainer is that it can change different familiars according to different environments to ensure that it can occupy a geographical advantage on any terrain. Of course, this premise is that you have to have so many magic familiars for you to change. Fortunately, my Familiar happens to adapt to the current environment.

The king and Sha Yezi belong to Soul Spirit Creature. The biggest feature of this bug valley is that there are so many insects, and the dead are the least afraid of insects. Anyway, at worst enters a state of nihilization. Although there are many insects here, it is estimated that only a few insects can attack Spirit Physique. So the two of them should be considered invincible here.

In addition to the king and Sha Yezi, ghost lights are also very useful. Although I rarely summon him, the ability of ghost lights is really useful here. Why is insect terrifying? It's not because of how strong they are. No matter in reality or in the game, there is no insect that is so powerful that it is invincible. What people are really afraid of is the number of insects rather than their individual strength. Although the ghost lamp is called the ghost lamp, it is actually a monster rather than an undead. He has no offensive power and poor defense. His only ability is to transform any creature within 300 meters around him into an undead creature that can be controlled by me at the moment of death.

Although there are many insects, they can be killed after all. With ghost lights, the more insects I kill, the more undead insects I can control. It won’t be long before I bring more insects than live insects here. What insect am I afraid of at that time?

In addition to these three familiars, Xiaofeng is my umbrella and strongest fighter here. Insect is an insect no matter how strong it is. When it comes to Fire Phoenix, the whole body can turn into a flame. What else is there to talk about? Doesn't it all have to be burnt to ashes?

In fact, in addition to these few specialties, I summon them another most important reason is that they are not afraid of poison. In addition to most insects, most of them are poisonous, so people with low poison resistance will never get mixed up in this kind of place.

After preparing the entourage, I thought about it and released the rose vine and the trailblazer. Insects also like to make holes underground. In order to prevent accidentally falling into the wormhole, it is best to bring an existence that can make holes. As for other familiars, don’t summon for the time being. Too many people are not easy to command and they are easy to be attacked. When you encounter a situation, you can decide who is best to call for help based on the situation.

I raised my hand and touched the guardian of the evil dragon on my finger, and a purple mist that was slightly thinner than the white water vapor in the valley quickly spread. When these mists came into contact with the surrounding white water vapor, they immediately mixed together. Not only did the mixed mist not lose their proper function, but it also prolonged the action time, which I hadn't thought of before.

I took the familiars into the valley after watching the fog of death spread around, and the surrounding water vapor blocked my sight, so I simply used the fog of death to see the insects. Also block it. Anyway, I can't see them far, and don't expect to see them far. It's fair if everyone can't see them.

The valley of insects deserves to be called the paradise of insects. We just entered the valley and walked less than a hundred meters before we saw a colorful spider as big as a crab dragging from the trunk above our heads A silk thread slowly hung down. After seeing this thing, my familiars immediately showed a reaction that surprised me.

"Ah... there is an insect!" Xiaofeng, who was expected to be a thug, immediately hid behind me, and Sha Yezi, who was supposed to be a scout, was actually a reaction, but she was hiding. It's only behind the king.

"Damn, did you two make a mistake? That thing is less than a hundred, do you have such a big reaction?" As I said, I turned around and grabbed Xiaofeng and reprimanded: "Especially It's you. What kind of spiders are you Phoenix afraid of?"

Xiaofeng looked at me grievously while desperately shrinking back and said: "Is they just afraid? Is this something that has nothing to do with strength, okay?"< /p>

Sha Yezi also helped. "That's right! Girls are afraid that insects are justified and have nothing to do with their strength!"

"I..." I wanted to say a few more words about them, but now it seems that it is not very useful. "Forget it! You two, go back first! But if you run into an insect that needs your help, don't drop the chain for me."

Xiaofeng immediately said: "There should be nothing in the fight. The problem, at worst, you can just spray with fire if you don’t get close. It’s just that the sudden appearance of the insect is too scary!"

If you didn’t know whether to cry or laugh, both Xiaofeng and Sha Yezi He filled the training space back, and then called out the other familiars and asked them one by one, which made me a little depressed. As long as my humanoid familiars are female, all except Lingling are afraid of insect, even Ling is no exception. Fortunately, I didn't count on them, so the impact was not big.

Without Sha Yezi and Xiaofeng, we would have lost pathfinders and main output, and had to be replaced by someone. After thinking about it, I still summon a large group of Death God guards to replace Sha Yezi. Death God guards are magical creatures made of sand. They themselves will not attract the interest of insects, and the biggest advantage of these guys is that they can be summoned with enough people when they die. As long as a few more are released, path-finding should be no problem.

The scouts have solved it, and the damage output has to find a way. If it is in reality, what insects are most afraid of must be sand insect agents. The problem is that the insects in the game, no matter whether they are poisonous or not, they are definitely white poisonous types themselves, so poisons are useless to them. In addition to poison, you can only use fire to deal with insects that win by quantity. Xiaofeng is afraid of insect, so switch to Ifrit. As a constructive creature, Ivorite is not afraid of insects at all. Moreover, he, the Fire Essence spirit king, also exists in the flame system. It is absolutely easy to use two flamethrowers directly to exterminate insects. As for what caused the fire, there is basically no need to worry about this. It's strange that the plants can burn because of the air humidity in this bug valley.

After summon got out of Ifrit, I wanted to go just like that. But thinking about it, it seems that Ivorite is not fully adapted to the environment here. In the end, I also released Ray to be the second output personnel to supplement Ivorite’s lack of firepower.

Thunder's current transmission ability is not very useful here, but his electrical enhancement is definitely suitable for exterminating insects. Isn't it as good as the real electric flies auctioned?

After the staffing was completed, we started to move again, and the spider that hung from the tree before was still hanging there. This guy Lei might feel more curious, so he went over and touched it, but he listened to the bang before his claws touched the spider. An arc flashed between his claws and the spider, and the spider turned directly into A bunch of scorched spiders fell off.

Seeing this effect, I finally feel that bringing Thunder is a good choice. Passing through the location of the spider’s corpse, we continue to deepen into the forest. Various low-level insects are everywhere along the way. You just need to look towards a place and pay attention to it, and you can immediately spot a few or a group of them. Disguised insect.

"Discover the mission goal." We were walking in the woods well, and suddenly we heard Ling's voice rang out in our spiritual contact. Although it did not come out, Ling has been keeping in touch with us through spiritual contact. Because we have to be on guard for sudden attacks from nearby insects, we don’t have time to pay attention to the task. Ling and other familiar familiars who have not been released can just use our eyes in the training space to help pay attention to the things mentioned in various tasks. .

Suddenly I stopped when I heard Ling's reminder, and Ling also reminded me again: "At ten o'clock on the left front, pay attention to the fracture of the broken tree."

< p>I quickly turned my head and said: "I saw a red ladybug."

"Pay attention to the spots on its back."

I The star pupil magnification function was quickly activated, and the image of the insect in the distance was immediately drawn to the front and more than ten times larger, so that the pattern on the insect body could be clearly seen. This dark red ladybug has a golden wavy pattern on its back, and a black oval pattern in the center of the pattern, which looks like it has an eye on its back.

After confirming the pattern, Ling said immediately: "This is the golden eye and red armor mentioned in one of the missions. Three Level 10 creatures are basically non-threatening. Hurry up, we need three such insects. , I wa
