Chapter 542: 539, Raid [Heart of Fear] _1
Upon seeing this mission, Zhen Hong’s eyes lit up immediately!
This mission actually offered 35,000 experience points! That’s almost equal to 60% of his level’s experience!
Usually, a mission that yields 0.6% experience points is considered a large-scale mission. This mission is just too incredible!
As expected, there are plenty of benefits when working under Boss Ke.
Without thinking of anything else, he started leading players who had accepted the mission towards the arms depot.
…..
After 10 minutes, almost all players outside the city gates had received the main mission. Zhen Hong, who was carrying an [Azerite Bomb], also returned to the city gate near Su Yu.
Once the quests were received by the maximum number of players (100000/100000), Su Yu nodded in satisfaction.
He rose into the air a bit and said to the players below, “Everyone, please wait here. In about 5 minutes, you’ll see teleportation portals appearing nearby. You can directly enter them.”
Holding those words, he immediately activated the [Teleportation Spell].
Before the players could react, Su Yu’s figure had already disappeared into the sky.
Players could do nothing but wait patiently.
Five minutes later, five massive [Teleportation Portals] manifested on the open ground outside the city gates. Each portal was over 30 meters high, emanating an incredibly immense and splendid magical power. Their colors were a deep and mystic blue.
Similar to the five vertices of a regular pentagon, the five [Teleportation Portals] were located at equidistant points on the open ground. Players simultaneously received a game prompt to enter the designated portals.
Players immediately jumped into action.
Zhen Hong and the one thousand players who were helping him transport the [Azerite Bomb] stepped into the nearest designated [Teleportation Portal]
After a wave of dizziness, they found themselves in a dark, enclosed underground space.
It was so dark that one could not see their hand in front of their face. There was no light at all.
Just as players were about to bring out their torches and luminescent pearls, a pure white sphere of spiritual energy exploded in the air. The sphere released a light that illuminated the entire area. The sudden burst of light was blinding for many.
“Ah! My eyes, my eyes!”
“I nearly went blind! Hoo, my eyes really hurt.”
“Look around quickly, where are we? There are huge maggots everywhere…yuck!”
In the end, Zhen Hong had to step forward and say, “Everyone, calm down. Based on Boss Ke’s hints, we should be in the [Incubation Room] of the Heart of Fear. Let’s follow the mission instructions and destroy this place!”
As Zhen Hong said, they were indeed in the lowest level of the Heart of Fear. This was the lifeblood of the Heart of Fear: the [Incubation Room].
The incubation room was filled with densely packed pupae. It’s safe to say that it was a living hell for players with fears of tightly packed objects.
From these pupae hatched many white larvae, the “giant maggots” the players referred to.
The incubation room was immense, filled with countless pupae and larvae, at least several hundred thousand of them.
However, between every dozen or so pupae, there was a layer of [Amber Barrier].
Without any hesitation, the players, suppressing their disgust, used the Azerite Bomb to destroy the [Amber Barriers] and kill the pupae and larvae.
The larvae and the pupae were very low leveled, typically hovering around level one. Players could slaughter them in large numbers with ease, similar to chopping vegetables.
During this time, several groups of second to third level [Elite Hive Guardians] rushed over to provide reinforcement, flying in by the hundreds.
But there were as many as 20,000 players who had teleported into the Incubation Room! Moreover, the average level of these players hovered around the second to third level.
The guardians of the Hive simply could not withstand the storm of the players’ attacks, and they fell one after another at the entrance of the hive.
…
This was Su Yu’s entire plan.
First, Su Yu himself infiltrated the [Heart of Fear].
He was very familiar with this place. After all, in his past life during the Pandamen era, he spent ample time around here, knowing the place like he knew his home.
Then, he opened five teleportation portals, throwing the 100,000 players into the five most important areas of the Heart of Fear – the [Incubation Room], [Food Storage Room], [Armory Room], [Control Room], and [Queen Shek’zeer’s Bedroom].
The players in the [Incubation Room] were tasked with the eradication of Mantis Demon pupae and larvae;
Players in the [Food Storage Room] were responsible for burning the stored food of the Mantis Demons;
Players in the [Armory Room] were responsible for destroying the war supplies of the Mantis Demons;
Players in the [Control Room] would paralyze the entire Heart of Fear’s communication system;
As for the final area, [Queen Shek’zeer’s Bedroom], Su Yu would take on the Mantis Demon Queen [Shek’zeer] himself, and the players could assist Su Yu by obstructing the Mantis Demon Queen’s minions.
…
The Mantis Demon Queen Shek’zeer was taking a nap in her bedroom.
But at that moment, she suddenly felt the entire Hive shake violently!
She awoke from her sleep, and her immense spiritual power instantly swept across the whole hive.
Upon sensing the five towering teleportation portals in the five key areas, she immediately cursed, “Damn!”
The humans had penetrated deep into their territory, and they didn’t even realize it. It was like something out of a nightmare!
She quickly got up, prepared to leave her room to confront these detestable humans.
But before she could reach her door, a massive blue dragon, with a wingspan of 40 meters, appeared out of nowhere, blocking her way out.
At 30 meters long, Shek’zeer, was similar in size to Su Yu in his dragon form.
“A Blue Dragon?” Shek’zeer looked at Su Yu in disbelief. “Why, Blue Dragon, are you attacking the Mantis Demons?”
Blue Dragon Su Yu calmly responded, “I am a friend of the Pandamen. The Pandamen specifically sent me to deal with you. Shek’zeer, surrender now. If you surrender, I’ll spare your life.”
“You want me to surrender? You must be dreaming!” Shek’zeer was furious.
Her level was 72 while Su Yu’s was 70. While it might seem like the difference was only two levels, the difference in strength was roughly twice. Furthermore, she didn’t detect any same-ranking reinforcements with her spiritual scan.
A level 70 wanting a level 72 to surrender? Wasn’t that a dream?
Red light poured from Shek’zeer’s forehead. Without a moment’s hesitation, she launched her attack on Su Yu, slashing her sharp scythe towards Su Yu’s head.
Su Yu didn’t dodge her attack. Instead, he unleashed the [Earth God Shield], a skill bestowed by his gear. Energy of the earth element, as yellow as clay, encased him like an eggshell.
The Earth God Shield was at least about 3 meters thick.
Shek’zeer’s scythe hit the shield and bounced back without causing any damage whatsoever.
Seeing the opportunity, Su Yu unleashed a [Dragon Breath] right at Shek’zeer’s chest, sending her flying back for six to seven meters.
…
While they were engaged in this fierce battle, Shek’zeer’s level six and seven guardians were rushing to her aid.
Outside the Hive, the citizens of the Mantis Demon Kingdom and high-ranking Mantis Demons were also converging rapidly to defend their queen.
A massive battle was unfolding in the Heart of Fear.
