Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1324 - Chapter 1324 Chapter 406 Worm Nest Melee_2

Chapter 1324: Chapter 406 Worm Nest Melee_2 Chapter 1324: Chapter 406 Worm Nest Melee_2 There was yellow slime on the ground, a secretion from the insects as they burrowed.

Fortunately, the tunnel was quite large, often more than three meters high, making it spacious for people to walk through.

The Werewolf’s keen sense of smell allowed him to distinctly discern the direction of the insects that left these odors.

In the darkness, rustling sounds began to emerge, as if a horde of monsters were surging towards them.

The leading Big Beard NPC Brigadier glanced at the display on the arm of his Mechanical Battle Armor, which showed countless dense green dots, and with a stern look on his face, he bellowed, “We’re now in the active area of the Insect Race! Everyone, prepare for battle!”

Leonard Churchill glanced at the Brigadier General’s Mech, which was clearly much more functionally complete than the suits Seven Brown had worn previously, equipped with a lot of high-tech gear designed for combating insects.

Like this scanner that could detect life forms.

Without the luxury of further envy, as soon as these words came out, the sound of weaponry being loaded echoed through the corridor.

The Adventurers also entered a state of combat readiness.

Leonard Churchill displayed the urgency he was supposed to, drawing several First Tier Fireball Technique Cards with a fluid motion.

As a disguise, he was a Third-order Elemental Manipulator, and at least before being exposed, he had to act like a Mage Card Master.

In the underground tunnels, the chance of not being discovered by insects was zero, so the difficulty of this Alternate Dimension lay in completing missions amidst being surrounded and attacked by insects.

Soon, nearly everyone heard the click-clack of arthropods’ movement echoing through the tunnels.

At one instant, it was as if a water pipe had burst, and from around a corner of a tunnel, a dense swarm of insects surged out.

These were Blade Mantis, about a foot long, with wings that let them fly and two sharp mantis-like arms.

They were fast, highly agile, and numerous… capable of easily slicing through the bodies of low-level Card Masters.

Their weakness was their fragility.

As long as you avoided the carapace, ordinary bullets could erupt a spray of yellow goo.

However, these were the least threatening insects in this Alternate Dimension.

…

Prior to entering, the Adventurers had received intelligence, so upon encountering the incoming tide of insects, they were not too flustered.

The War Slaves were somewhat bewildered and lost, as they had learned what monsters they were facing only a few minutes before.

Fortunately, Thunder Group had spared no expense, and the slaves’ equipment wasn’t too shabby either.

Almost in an instant, humans and insects collided fiercely within the tunnel.

“Dadada…”

“Dadada…”

Bullets poured down like rain.

It had to be said, when it came to killing insects, firearms had a much greater advantage over Card Masters.

Pulling the trigger, the insects confined in the tunnel were practically live targets.

The networks of fire, formed by groups of three to five well-trained NPC Mechanical Warriors, were enough to block a passage.

In theory, as long as there were enough bullets, even a vast number of these low-level insects would not affect the team at all.

However, the number of insects was limitless.

If they dared stay in one place too long, more and more insects would surround them.

Eventually, there would be no escape.

That bearded NPC Brigadier certainly knew this and fought while asserting, “Follow me and charge!”

Leonard Churchill also charged into the depths of the tunnel amidst the crowd.

Deep underground, the labyrinth of tunnels quickly became a jubilant sea of insects in every direction.

Everyone was deeply engrossed in the intense battle.

Churchill occasionally launched a few low-level cards like Exploding Cards and Fireball Technique.

Though his Professional Sequence specialized in physical techniques, he had been studying magical Spell abilities in preparation for comprehending the Myriad Aspects Domain after advancing to the Sixth Tier.

At least these low-level Spells were effortless for him.

The Cards exploded amidst the swarm of insects, limbs flew in disarray, and Enlightenment notifications refreshed non-stop.

“Successfully killed ‘Blade Mantis’, Points +1”

“Successfully killed ‘Blade Mantis’, Points +1”

“Successfully killed ‘Elite Blade Mantis’, Points +3”

“…”

At this rate, who knew how long it would take to obtain one hundred thousand Points by killing low-level insects.

Furthermore, the materials dropped by these low-level insects were far less valuable than the Cards consumed.

Churchill was indifferent.

He had plenty of Curse Cards from his previous Spoils of War to spare for consumption.

The party continued to charge towards the depths of the lair.

Since the Thunder Hammer Mercenary Corps had come for a B-grade plot this time, they navigated the NPCs using intelligence obtained earlier, leading the way.

Moreover, because the overall equipment of the NPC team had significantly improved with the powerful firepower of Machinery, the Break Through plan was smoother than anticipated.

Before long, when everyone emerged at a giant intersection by the Dark River, Enlightenment once again appeared.

“‘Break Through Z Pathway’ mission completed, all members receive C-grade side quest rewards; individual Points +300”

“The hidden tunnels in the insect nest have been discovered, Exploration +25%; you have drawn the attention of the Queen. B-grade quest triggered: Find the Queen’s nest and send a location signal to the main base at Saint Crown City; you can choose to accept the quest or leave the space if you have enough Points;”

Two consecutive Enlightenment notifications.

The B-grade quest finally triggered.

Churchill glanced at it and then ignored it.

He only had a few thousand Points at the moment, a long way off from one hundred thousand, so leaving was not an option.

The others, the slaves, clearly could not leave, and the Loose Practitioners hadn’t gained enough of a benefit to leave either. However, a Low-Rank Card Master from Thunder Group, responsible for transmitting intelligence, had left the space ahead of time.

What followed was the truly dangerous part of the plot.
