Xu Xia's armor boasted a built-in navigation system, which he claimed was even more advanced than the one he'd used in the Boneyard.
Donning the armor, he displayed astonishing mobility and agility, his movements rivaling those of level 12 professionals like Lin Yuan.
Since they had just entered the dungeon, they weren't far from the Insect Control clan's territory. They
hadn't been walking long when,
"Swish!"
a giant spider suddenly leaped from the cave ceiling and leaped towards Gu Chen and his companions.
"Be careful!"
Xu Xia spun immediately, a blinding beam of energy erupting from the palm of his mechanical arm, instantly striking the spider's head.
However, the giant spider's body was made of a hard shell, and the armor's energy beam dealt minimal damage.
Fortunately, Gu Chen was prepared, as was the Blood Clan Overlord beside him.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Silver bullets whizzed out, blasting the giant spider mid-air before it even landed.
Boom!
The giant spider's body smashed to the ground, its hard shell covered in cracks. Green blood splattered from its shattered body, and its sharp legs twisted and broken.
[Kill a LV.20 Blade Venomous Spider, +1050 Experience]
That's too low!
Gu Chen was prepared for this. The spider caves were filled with numerous alien species, but their individual combat power was relatively low, and therefore their experience was also low.
A single venomous spider wasn't difficult to deal with, but the cave's venomous spiders typically appeared in swarms.
This meant that while experience was high, the difficulty was also increased.
Therefore, many professionals would rather pay a price and seek help from the Insect Control Clan.
Just after the first Blade Venomous Spider was slain, a chaotic commotion erupted in the darkness, and soon, over twenty giant spiders appeared.
"Contract,"
Gu Chen called back, calling Xu Xia back and unleashing the Nightmare Overlord.
A single Blade Venomous Spider only had a little over a thousand experience points, but over twenty of them would yield over twenty thousand.
Gu Chen glanced at his experience bar. Reaching level 20 would require over 500,000 experience points. It seemed like it was more fun at lower levels!
If he were level 11 now, these aliens alone would be enough for him to level up.
The Nightmare Overlord charged forward. These ordinary level 20 aliens were practically food for the epic summons.
The Nightmare Overlord's figure flashed, instantly appearing among the venomous spiders. Immediately, it unleashed its skill.
[Deep Dream]
Although it was a swarm of level 20 razor-sharp venomous spiders, they were just ordinary aliens. The Nightmare Overlord's skill was a devastating blow to them.
Illusory dream energy instantly enveloped the surroundings, dealing continuous damage to the venomous spiders, causing their health to plummet.
Over 10,000 damage per second!
Trapped in the deep dream, over twenty razor-sharp venomous spiders couldn't withstand the sheer volume of damage and were ripped to shreds in a flash.
The Nightmare Overlord used up the skill in just two seconds, expending minimal energy.
[Kill LV.20 Blade Venomous Spider, +1050 Experience]
[Kill LV.20 Blade Venomous Spider, +1030 Experience]
[Kill LV.20 Blade Venomous Spider, +1080 Experience]
Killing them all, earning over 24,000 Experience.
Gu Chen's face was filled with satisfaction.
So satisfying!
No wonder so many people love playing mowing games.
Previously, whether killing Fallen Guardians or Beast War Soldiers, one had to maintain a deep dream state to deal sustained damage, which was quite draining.
But against the spider aliens, basically, they only needed two seconds in the deep dream state before being ripped to shreds by the dream energy, so the drain on their energy was minimal.
This exhilarating feeling was truly unprecedented.
In a flash, all the Blade Venomous Spiders were dead. Xu Xia, standing before them in his armor, watched in amazement.
"Wow... so powerful!"
His energy beam only knocked off a little over 600 HP from the Blade Venomous Spiders, but Gu Chen's summoned beast dealt over 10,000 DPS instantly.
The difference was absurd.
"Let's go, continue leading the way." Gu Chen said calmly.
Soon, everyone arrived at the territory of the Insect Control Clan.
It's called a territory, but in fact, the word stronghold is more appropriate. There are patrolling guards outside, just like the ancient army camp.
Seeing Gu Chen and others coming, a team of Insect Control Clan members in white windbreakers immediately stepped forward.
The leader was a skinny bald man with a cold face, who stretched out his hand to stop them.
"Outsiders, you are not welcome in the Insect Control Clan's territory."
"If you are here to seek help, then show enough sincerity first, otherwise I will not let you in."
The bald man squinted at everyone, his tone revealing undisguised arrogance and indifference.
Gu Chen did not care about the offense in the other party's tone and looked at the bald man's attribute panel.
[Alien: Insect Buff Guard]
[Level: LV.18]
[HP: 10500]
[Attributes: Strength 240, Agility 245, Constitution 240, Spirit 250]
[Skill: Insect Blast]
Just over 10,000 HP?
So pitifully weak.
Gu Chen, with a calm expression, said, "I want to see your clan leader. Call him out."
Hearing the undisguised contempt in Gu Chen's tone, the Insect Buff guard's face darkened and he shouted,
"How dare you! The clan leader is so noble, how dare you—"
Before he could finish his words, a barrage of bullets whizzed in like lightning, instantly riddling the bald man and the Insect Buff guards behind him. Their bodies fell to the ground in a mess. The
Blood Clan Overlord let out a low cry and activated his skill, instantly reducing his HP by a small amount.
[Blood Clan Heritage]
The next second, the corpses on the ground were enveloped in a blood-red light. One by one, they stood up, their eyes blazing with a breathtaking, bloodthirsty gleam.
Five more vampires joined the team.
At this point, Lin Yuan and the others shuddered, finally realizing what was happening.
Even though they knew Gu Chen was going to kill the Insect Buffs first, this was too much!
This was murder!
How could he be so swift and decisive?
The bald Insect Buffs hadn't even finished their words when a group of guards were already dead.
[Kill LV.18 Insect Control Guard, +788 EXP]
[Kill LV.18 Insect Control Guard, +809 EXP]
[Kill LV.18 Insect Control Guard, +796 EXP]
Gu Chen, with a nonchalant expression, glanced at the nearly motionless experience bar and headed straight for the Insect Control territory.
Killing people?
No, in his eyes, it was all just experience.
Gu Chen's tactics were simple: push through.
The Insect Control territory was complex, with numerous passages. In other instances, he might have had to find the aliens one by one, a cumbersome task.
But here, there was no such concern.
After killing several teams of guards, an enemy attack alarm rang out within the territory, and then over fifty Insect Controllers in white windbreakers stormed out.
These were merely ordinary guards of the Insect Control clan, hardly the primary defensive force.
"Outsiders, how dare you kill people in the Insect Control Master's territory? You're courting death!"
Hearing the other party's angry shout, Gu Chen raised his eyes and looked at the Blood Clan Lord.
"Kill them all, leaving no one alive."
