123: Crimson mist, the onslaught of the mutated insect swarm!

[Buzz!]

[The Scarlet Dream Mist has launched a Dream Curse against your Shelter!]

[The curse has been neutralized by the Shelter's special effects!]

[The Scarlet Dream Mist has launched Deadly Poison Pollution and Corrosion against your Shelter!]

[The Deadly Poison Pollution and Corrosion have been neutralized by the Shelter's special effects!]

... Su Lie watched the continuous notifications, his pupils slightly contracting, and his eyes widening suddenly: "Luckily, my Shelter has special effects that grant Pollution Immunity, Curse Immunity, and Mist defense!"

"Otherwise!"

"I would have silently kicked the bucket!"

As he spoke.

He looked out the window and saw that the sky outside was not blue with white clouds, but rather a hazy mass.

This was a Mist day!

Su Lie sighed: "It's not suitable to go out today!"

Just then.

[Buzz!]

Another Mist prompt leaped into view.

[The Gravity Oasis area has undergone massive distortion due to the Scarlet Dream Mist, and the Shelter is about to face a great catastrophe—the Distorted Bug Tide!]

[The Gravity Oasis area has undergone massive distortion due to the Scarlet Dream Mist, and Scarlet Mist has appeared in the Oasis area!]

"What? Scarlet Mist? Is that a lower-level version of the Scarlet Dream Mist?"

Su Lie was stunned.

How should he defend against this?

Should he just let the bugs climb the wall?

Su Lie could no longer sit still.

He looked up at Su Liya, who was preparing breakfast with Keqing, Weier, and Xuxu, and solemnly instructed: "Liya! Gather the Little Skeletons! A Distorted Bug Tide is coming soon!"

Having said that.

He opened the door and walked outside.

Creak!

The moment the large iron door opened, a blast of cold air made Su Lie shiver.

He took out the Eye of Identification and aimed it at the Mist outside the glass dome.

[Scarlet Mist: A meteorological Mist-type pollution disaster, a lingering aftereffect of the Scarlet Dream Mist. The Mist contains strong Mist pollution, which can cause all life forms within the Mist-covered area to distort, becoming frenzied and murderous. Note: This Mist will automatically dissipate within 12 hours.]

"As expected!"

Su Lie put away the Eye of Identification.

Only then did he relax.

If it was just Mist pollution.

He wasn't worried.

Because the Shelter had the Pollution Immunity special effect.

All Little Skeletons located within the Shelter could become immune to any form of pollution.

The top of the city wall naturally also belonged to the Shelter's range.

Thinking of this.

He immediately returned to the Shelter and gave the command to the Little Skeletons who had just prepared: "Everyone, get up on the city wall and participate in this Bug Tide defense battle!"

"Cluck! Cluck! Father! We want to go too!"

The Blazing Flame Divine Chicken Su Dabao flapped his wings and said.

He was followed by 39 chick babies, each holding their head high, their eyes burning with fighting Spirit.

Su Lie nodded: "Alright!"

"Croak!"

The Treasure-Swallowing Golden Toad leaped up and landed on Su Lie's shoulder.

Su Lie smiled: "You wait for the opportunity to strike! Let the Snowflake Pig stay here!"

"Oink! Oink!"

The Snowflake Pig squealed twice, lazily walked to the corner against the wall, kicked its four hooves, fell down, closed its eyes, and went to sleep.

Clatter!

The Little Skeletons rushed to the city wall according to the previous deployment, leaving only 6 Little Skeletons to guard the Watchtower.

Su Lie took out the mountain-viewing jade mirror, gave it to Su Liya, and also gave her some level 1 monster crystals: "Liya! Pay attention to using it to observe the situation outside! Do a good job of combat strength allocation!"

What he had discussed last night was related to combat matters.

Although it was only theoretical, it was enough for Su Liya and the Little Skeletons to regard it as a sacred text.

After Su Liya received the mountain-viewing jade mirror and the monster crystal, she immediately used the mirror.

Under her observation.

Within a 50-kilometer radius of the Shelter, a large number of red dots representing life appeared.

The number of red dots in the Gravity Oasis area was astonishingly high.

And all of them were surging towards the Shelter.

Looking through the mountain-viewing jade mirror, the Shelter was right in the center of the Bug Tide's encirclement.

What shocked her even more was this.

The natural barrier of explosive potatoes surrounding them had actually distorted into new life forms.

"Master!"

Su Liya told Su Lie the results of what she had seen.

Su Lie's heart shook when he heard this: "The explosive potatoes have distorted into life forms?"

He stood on the city wall, looking down.

He saw a group of potatoes growing hands and feet moving beneath the thin Mist.

The potatoes were over 30 centimeters tall, with long, thin limbs and roots attached.

These potatoes didn't seem to have any attack consciousness; they were just walking "randomly."

Seeing this.

Su Lie slightly relaxed: "It seems they have only distorted into life forms, but they don't possess Wisdom!"

At this moment, large mounds, about seven or eight meters in diameter, surged up from the ground around them.

The mounds startled the small potato people, who stopped in place.

One minute later.

Out of the mounds crawled giant Scarab Beetles, each with scarlet eyes, standing a full 5 meters tall and 5 meters wide.

The moment the Scarab Beetles emerged, they first let out strange cries.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!

Just as the cries sounded, the small potato people actually revealed expressions of terror.

Following that.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Only a series of violent explosions could be heard.

Before the Little Skeletons on the Shelter could even shoot.

The small potatoes wandering around, after being violently startled, automatically detonated themselves, blowing the giant bugs that had just emerged from the ground and were about to charge the Shelter into pieces.

This explosion sounded like the bug tide's charge horn; more and more bugs rushed out of the Mist, heading towards the Shelter to kill.

Some small potato people were swept up among them.

Also at this moment.

The Little Skeletons aimed their Mist Pistols at the small potatoes and Scarab Beetles and pulled the triggers.

Outside the city wall.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Violent explosions rang out one after another.

Broken Scarab Beetle shells and corpses continuously struck the defensive city wall.

Large waves of flame and explosion shockwaves also hit the city wall.

Su Lie looked at the Little Skeletons, who already knew to kill the small potatoes first, and he smiled: "My efforts weren't wasted after all!"

This showed that.

The Little Skeletons had taken the initiative in the battlefield situation.

This time, he didn't even need to speak.

The Little Skeletons had not stopped shooting since they started firing.

Su Lie also joined the counterattack at this time.

Prompted by his Monster Prompt passive Skill.

The levels of these bugs were all between Level 15 and Level 20.

Their names were specially marked as Distorted Gigantification, with 50,000 Health Points and 10,000 Spirit Points.

"Hmm? Killing one bug grants 2 experience points?"

Su Lie glanced at his personal panel and saw that his experience points had become 2,203 points.

930 of those points were gained from lying on the Solid Wood Bed last night.

2 points were gained from just killing a Scarab Beetle.

The reason he could obtain 2 experience points.

Was because he had the Mist Master title, which allowed Su Lie to gain 1 extra experience point.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At this moment, the Black Tortoise Army Legion led by No. 4 Little Skeleton fired the Fireball Spell.

Under the enhancement of the Mist Pistol.

The damage of the Fireball Spell was already up to 10 times 100% of the Little Skeleton's current Spirit attribute.

Which meant.

The damage output of the strongest batch of Little Skeletons could reach 70,000 points.

The sustained burning damage could be as high as 5,000 points per second.

While the lowest damage was at least 30,000 points.

Such an attack.

Even if it couldn't instantly kill a giant bug.

It could kill the giant bug simply by letting it burn for a few seconds.

Su Lie simultaneously fired a 50-centimeter-diameter fireball through his Mist Pistol.

The fireball's speed reached 30,000 meters per second.

In just an instant.

The fireball exploded.

A 7-meter-tall, Level 20 giant unicorn Scarab Beetle was instantly annihilated, and the shattered shell fragments spiraled outwards like flying knives.

Under the effect of the powerful impact, dozens of Scarab Beetles nearby were successively "turned" into severely injured and weakened states.

Seven or eight Scarab Beetles died instantly.

Even more Scarab Beetles fainted directly from the shockwave.

"Good!"

Su Lie's eyes lit up upon seeing this.

The Fireball Spell truly is explosive!

After Su Lie successively hunted more than a dozen giant bugs, he suddenly realized something, stopped using the Fireball Spell to kill the bugs, and switched to using the Ice Stream Bullet: "Although the Fireball Spell is powerful, I need a large number of bug corpses to make moonlight bug bombs!"

"I can't waste these bug corpses like this!"

After realizing this.

Su Lie immediately issued the command to all Little Skeletons to use the Soul Flying Missile Skill for attack.

Also at this moment.

Su Liya and Su Weier carried the Solid Wood Bed onto the city wall and also brought breakfast: "Master! Please take a break! Have something to eat..."
