Many players saw the change in the Boss, but no one stopped.
If they did not get rid of these tentacles, they would not be able to get close to the Boss and obtain the crystal. Moreover, the experience gained from killing these tentacles was terrifying. It was several times more than the experience gained from killing the monsters. In other words, the experience gained from killing a black tentacle was dozens of times more than the experience gained from killing the monsters outside.
No one could resist the temptation of dozens of times more experience.
It was not that they were surrounded by too many tentacles. After gaining experience from fighting these tentacles, the experts on the scene worked together to deal with these tentacles. It was not that dangerous anymore.
The tentacles did not regenerate. After half an hour, the number of tentacles gradually decreased.
Chen Mo had also killed many tentacles. Every time he killed one, he would gain dozens of times more experience. Chen Mo estimated that he would reach Level 49 by the time he finished killing these tentacles.
After entering a dungeon, he had leveled up several times consecutively. He was catching up to the first-rate players in the game. Other things aside, just the increase in level was enough to satisfy Chen Mo.
Another half an hour passed. There were not many tentacles left. After killing the remaining ten tentacles, the group could once again reach the Boss.
"Roar!"
However, at this moment, the Black Bug Boss let out a fierce roar.
Hearing this angry roar, the players present were all shocked. They hurriedly stopped their attacks and retreated.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, the Black Bug Boss did not care about the Time Turbulence Greatsword that was stuck in its body. Its body began to twist violently.
With a greatsword stuck in its body and its body still twisting, the Black Bug Boss was undoubtedly injured.
That was indeed the case. As the Boss writhed violently, a stream of black liquid slowly flowed down from its body.
The black liquid flowed to the ground below and made a sizzling sound. Then, a black smoke instantly floated up from the ground and spread out.
"Retreat!"
Seeing the black smoke floating over, many players hurriedly retreated. They knew that if they were touched by the black smoke, they would not have a good ending.
However, there were also people who were not too far away from the black crystal beneath the Boss' feet. They were only less than 20 meters away. With the speed of the Mechanical Armors, this distance could be covered in a single breath.
Unable to resist the temptation, a few expert players in mechanical armor moved, and before the black smoke spread, they quickly jumped to the feet of the Boss and bent down to collect the black crystals.
Under normal circumstances, doing so would be courting death. Gathering the crystals required time, and before they could gather the crystals, the black smoke would spread over and interrupt the gathering process.
However, many people understood what these players were thinking. They were relying on the fact that they had mechanical armors and could activate the Distortion Force Field.
The Distortion Force Field was an extremely powerful shield. Before the energy of the Distortion Force Field was depleted, they were almost invincible.
The black smoke might be scary, but no matter how scary it was, it was probably just poison damage. It couldn't be compared to the tentacles from before, but it should be enough to buy them some time to collect the black crystals.
"Tsk-tsk, these guys are really looking for death. Even I, Kaka, am not going to pick up those treasures. You guys are looking for death!"
Kaka glanced at these people and said with a smile.
"Let's retreat a little further. It might not be safe here." Zi Yuan glanced at the black smoke that was quickly floating over and took the lead to retreat.
At the feet of the Boss, the black smoke had completely enveloped the players.
Those players all activated the Distortion Force Field and bent down to collect the black crystals.
"What's going on? The Distortion Force Field is completely ineffective!"
Within a few breaths, the players all exclaimed one by one.
They looked at the mechanical armors on their bodies and found that the Distortion Force Field of the mechanical armors was activated. The armor's energy was not consumed at all, as if the black smoke around them did not exist.
In fact, the black smoke passed through the Distortion Force Field of the mechanical armors and quickly corroded their bodies.
Above these players' heads, a black poison damage of "− 10000" floated up one after another.
The mechanical armors could increase a player's Strength by ten times, but the HP attribute would not change.
The players here had between 30,000 to 50,000 HP.
The damage of these black toxins was not in the tens of thousands, but stacked on top of each other. In an instant, they could take away tens of thousands of HP. With the amount of HP these players had, even though they had given up on collecting the crystals as soon as they realized that something was wrong and wanted to run out of the black smoke, in the end, they turned into white light and died before they could even take two steps.
"So powerful!"
Seeing the horrifying damage of the black smoke, the players present were all shocked.
If they didn't retreat, they would end up like these people.
The players present finally understood, like Chen Mo, why so many people had died in the Third City even though there were so many powerful mechanical armors.
So many people had died, but the mechanical armors were still intact.
It was because the Black Bug Boss's attack could ignore the Distortion Force Field and directly kill the players inside.
The Distortion Force Field could be said to be the most powerful part of the mechanical armors. Without the Distortion Force Field, fighting the Black Bug Boss was naturally extremely dangerous. Just like the players just now, if they were not careful, they would be instantly killed.
What should they do?
Many people looked at the black smoke and did not know what to do.
Previously, when everyone worked together, they could kill the tentacles one by one with just a little more time.
However, no matter how many people there were, if they did not have a way to deal with the black smoke, only death awaited them.
Wait for the black smoke to disperse on its own?
It might be possible, but the black smoke in front of them was enveloping the Black Bug Boss. Obviously, it would not disperse on its own in a short time. By the time the smoke really dispersed, they would already be out of the dungeon.
On the other side, Bi Saina, who had been paying attention to Chen Mo's movements, looked at Chen Mo again.
Chen Mo was deep in thought. He was recalling the images he saw a few hours ago when he used the Relic Fragment.
Previously, when he was surrounded by several teams, he used the Relic Fragment immediately in a hurry. He did not have the time to carefully watch the images on it.
However, after his body was strengthened, he had a photographic memory. Now, when he was thinking, he was replaying those images in his mind.
There should be some details in those images that he did not notice.
After all, this Relic Fragment appeared near the Black Nest Boss. It should be related to the Boss. It was impossible for a Relic Fragment to only provide information about an energy body.
Antibodies?
Previously, the first thing Chen Mo saw was the conversation between Joey and the researcher. In the conversation, they provided information about the energy body.
At that time, Chen Mo's mechanical armor was lacking energy. Under the siege of Bi Saina and the others, he did not have the time to carefully watch the images behind him. He just flew in the direction of the research institute.
Now, he carefully replayed it in his mind again. In the end, he found that at the end of the exchange, the researcher also mentioned that the research on antibodies for the Civilization Devourer had made progress. As long as Joey and the others continued to resist the Civilization Devourer, the research institute would be able to create special antibodies to make humans immune to some of the Civilization Devourer's attacks.
Do antibodies really exist?
After replaying the images in his mind, Chen Mo could not help but think of this question.
The researcher mentioned that they had made progress on the antibodies, but in the end, Joey and the others had failed. Otherwise, if they had used the antibodies, there would not have been so many deaths around the Black Worm Boss.
However, it was impossible to deal with the Black Worm Boss without using the antibodies.
Chen Mo decided to return to the research institute. He had left in too much of a hurry. He might be able to find something if he returned to the research institute and looked around.
Chen Mo turned around. He wanted to quietly leave the crowd and go to the research institute alone.
However, there were still a few people who noticed his movements. Bi Saina and Shixue Tianhuang had been keeping an eye on him. As soon as he turned around, these people looked at him.
After being stared at for so long, Chen Mo naturally noticed it.
If these people followed him, he would not be able to look for the item in peace.
Chen Mo thought that it would be better to think of a way to get rid of these people or just kill them.
"F * ck!
Six mechs that can fly! "
However, before Chen Mo could make a decision, someone among the surrounding players suddenly looked up at the edge of the sinkhole and shouted.
At the edge of the sinkhole, there were a few figures flying in the air.
There were a total of six people. Upon closer inspection, these six people were flying in the air. They were not flying on mounts or anything else, but on the mechanical armors that many of the players below had.
It was the first time that the players here had seen flying mechanical armors. For a moment, almost everyone looked over.
"They seem to be from the same team."
"Amazing, they seem to be intact mechanical armors. I'm afraid they have 100% energy!"
"Hehe, flying in the air so openly, there will be a good show to watch later!"
This team suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention. Many people began discussing in low voices.
Previously, there were players who used flying mounts to break through from the sky, but they were instantly killed by unknown attacks.
Now that this team of six people was flying in the air so arrogantly, many people were gloating over their misfortune.
Chi chi chi …
As the few figures flew closer, a few muffled sounds could be heard. From the Black Nest below, six unusually fierce black shadows suddenly shot out of nowhere.
These black shadows accurately crashed into the six people, trying to knock them down from the sky.
"Hmph!"
However, in the sky, a figure snorted coldly. Under the feet of the six people, a mirror-like magic appeared. The six black shadows shot into the mirror, and in the next moment, the six black shadows shot back from the mirror!
…
The second one was even worse.
