Chapter 377: Angry Mercer
This is not called joining forces.
What is the difference between directly joining the other party's ethnic group and annexing it?
This guy's calculations were so loud that people on the other side of the Earth could hear them.
"Els, you misunderstood what I meant." The insect said, "After joining Lord Freyr's tribe, your tribe will still obey your command, but we will need to join forces to fight when necessary."
"Really?" Su Xia asked him.
"Yes."
"no strings attached?"
"Well... maybe after the alliance, we can slowly discuss these conditions."
"Then why can't Freyr join my tribe?" Su Xia asked, "We are all in the southwest region, so it doesn't matter who joins, right?"
"No, no, this is different."
The insect replied immediately, with a confident tone: "Els, what you don't know is that Lord Freyr's tribe is much larger than yours. If he leads his tribe to join yours, the insect nests under his command will definitely not accept it."
"Oh? Do you think the various insect nests under my command will be convinced?"
"this……"
The insect paused for a moment, then said to Su Xia: "Els, you are a smart creature. Do you really want me to explain what I mean?"
Su Xia smiled faintly: "Go back, I'm not considering the alliance now."
Hearing this, the insect's voice sank: "Els, our two tribes will eventually meet, you should think about it more. After all... you still have a chance to think about it now."
"Why don't you leave yet? Do you want me to give you a ride?" Su Xia put away her smile and her face turned cold.
“No need!”
The insect immediately turned around, jumped into the half-human-high weeds, got on all fours, ran quickly, and soon disappeared into the night.
He sensed a hint of murderous intent in Su Xia, and if he didn't leave now, he might not be able to escape.
As for the purpose of his visit this time, he has achieved it.
Next, it depends on how Su Xia chooses.
At this time, Xiong Er on the side suddenly said: "Els, I'll go kill him!"
Su Xia shook her head slowly: "A visitor is a guest, even if he is a bad guest, there is no need to take action, let him go."
These lord creatures were all very smart and naturally understood what the other party meant.
That Fu Rui is very ambitious. He clearly wants to swallow up Su Xia's power and make Su Xia one of his subordinates.
You know, Su Xia, like him, is an envoy chosen by the queen herself.
Where does he get the confidence to annex Su Xia?
Agumon stepped forward and said to Susha, "Lord Els, I know this Freyr."
"Oh? Tell me about it." Su Xia said.
"He was chosen by the Queen earlier than you," Agumon said, "so he has been developing for longer than you. He now has more than a dozen medium-sized insect nests under his command, and there are many new insect nests. His overall strength is far superior to ours. As for his individual strength... If the news is correct, he became a level 5 creature a long time ago and once fought with Master Haidar."
"Fought with Haidar? What was the result?"
“We lost, but we held on for a long time.”
“I see…”
Su Xia touched his chin and thought seriously.
The octopus monster Haidar is very powerful, even Mercer has praised him.
Although Su Xia had never fought with him directly, just by looking at Moser's attitude, it can be seen how powerful the octopus monster is.
Su Xia was very clear that he was able to defeat Mercer this time because of his unexpected trick. His real strength was still a long way off, and he was no match for his opponent in a head-on battle.
The next time they meet, Mercer will definitely be prepared and it won't be so easy.
"Lord Els, we need to prepare early." Agumon said.
"Yes, that's right." Su Xia nodded, "What other news do you know?"
"We are all in the southwest of the continent, but Freyr's tribe is located further southwest, in the southwest mountainous area... and we are located in the northeast, far away from him, so we won't have any direct intersection for the time being."
Agumon did his job conscientiously and collected a lot of information for Suxia.
Xiong Er suddenly interrupted: "Els, he might challenge you directly."
"Yes, this possibility cannot be ruled out." Xiong Da also said, "Els, as long as we defeat you, we can gain the recognition of the insect nest in this area. This is the easiest way."
Just as the two of them challenged Su Xia, that Fury might also come to challenge.
The relationship among the Zerg is just that simple.
There are not too many complicated problems. If you can't reach an agreement on anything, just fight.
"Lord Els, perhaps we should contact the Queen. You and Freyr are both the Queen's messengers." Agumon suggested asking the Queen for help to buy time for Suxia to develop.
Su Xia’s development time was too short, so Freyr took the first-mover advantage.
Previously, when Su Xia was communicating with the octopus monster Haidar, she was told that on every continent in this world, there were more than a dozen envoys personally chosen by the queen.
If these envoys are all trying to annex newcomers and disrupt the rules and order, then where is the queen's dignity?
Now, Su Xia only has two medium-sized insect nests under his command, and the overall strength is quite weak. What he needs most is time.
"I'll find a way to seal the insect nest first." Su Xia gave the order and, according to the previous plan, hid deep underground for half a month.
He had a premonition that in the next half month, the entire southwestern region would be filled with mechanical creatures.
Even if Fury really wanted to challenge him, he would not choose this time.
Things in the wilderness here are over for the time being.
…
On the other side, in the wilderness south of Kaiba City.
Su Xia was still flying above the clouds, slowly, and had not yet gotten rid of his weak state.
Just now, two air superiority combat robots flew past him at an extremely fast speed, like two sharp blades cutting through the sky.
“Buzz——”
The roar of their engines was deafening, echoing across the sky.
The Mechanical Clan had exchanged information with the Zero Point Tavern, and both sides knew that Su Xia might have the ability to become invisible, and that necessary means were needed to force him out.
Therefore, the two robots released a lot of bombs during the flight, causing a loud rumbling sound and filled the air with smoke.
However, they are weak and cannot cover the entire area.
The wilderness is too vast, and it would be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack for the mechanical to search for Su Xia, so other cities around have begun to take action.
At present, a large number of aerial mechanical warriors from other cities are rushing over.
Ground forces followed closely behind and were responsible for blocking various areas.
Su Xia was no longer in a hurry. He manipulated the scalpel, tweezers, hemostatic forceps and other tools, slowly treating his injuries and removing the fragments in his body bit by bit.
The final result was quite astonishing, he actually removed more than a hundred fragments from his body!
"No wonder I feel uncomfortable all over." Su Xia sighed. He had never suffered such a serious injury since he came to this world.
If he were an ordinary person, he would have died dozens of times.
Instead of throwing away the pieces, he kept them carefully.
If we can completely defeat the mechanical race in the future, these fragments will be the best medals, and we can take them out to brag to our friends when we drink.
While he was mending his wounds, more than a dozen air superiority combat robots flew past him, searching for him.
"Take your time to search."
Su Xia looked at their receding backs, feeling calm.
Next, most of the southernmost cities will enter a semi-lockdown state, especially the coastal areas.
It's not easy to get in.
Su Xia needs perfect camouflage skills.
The scarlet crystal he possesses has a limited usage time each day, and he cannot exist with another face 24 hours a day, so he needs to wear a mask most of the time.
Fortunately, the stage reward for this [Bury the Bones in a Foreign Land] mission contains what Su Xia needs - a crystal energy inhibitor!
The current requirement for this mission is to settle the three families in Haima City.
After Su Xia rescued Su Qi from the landfill, the current stage was completed and the reward was automatically distributed. However, he was too busy before, busy with the derivative task [Buried in Hell], so he didn't have time to look at it.
Now that he finally had some free time, he clicked on the rewards column and checked the two reward items.
The first item was the book of experience that he had always wanted.
[Battleship Driving Experience Book: Contains the experience and knowledge of many legendary captains. After using it, you will quickly grow from a novice to an experienced driver.]
This thing is similar to the pharmacist's book of experience. After using it, it will directly instill all kinds of knowledge into your brain.
As time goes by, this knowledge will slowly become one with Su Xia.
Su Xia had used two books of "Pharmacist Experience Collection" before and benefited a lot from them. He was able to overtake others and now his pharmacist skills were stronger than those of the two Bafu. He was steadily moving towards becoming a fifth-level pharmacist, but there was still a lot of knowledge that he had not digested.
He clicked [Take Out] and immediately a golden book appeared in his hand.
[Are you using it now? ]
An option appears.
Looking at the options, Su Xia thought about it seriously.
The first two times he used the Book of Experience, his brain felt dizzy and swollen. Now his physical condition is very bad and he cannot be careless.
So he clicked [No] and put it into the storage space for future use.
Then he took out another reward.
[Chaos Crystal Energy Suppressor: Suppresses the power of Chaos Crystal, allowing the owner to use the crystal for a long time]
"A bracelet?"
Su Xia took it in her hand and looked at it carefully.
This thing seems to be carved from some kind of stone. It doesn't look like a product of technology. The surface is black, somewhat smooth, and feels cold to the touch, like the obsidian on Earth.
After wearing it on her hand, Su Xia got a hint:
[You have worn the crystal energy inhibitor and can use the power of the chaos crystal for a long time]
[Note: Please use crystals with caution. This kind of power is ultimately external to the body. Do not rely on it too much. Do not absorb the chaotic energy within it...]
Su Xia lightly touched his forehead, and a scarlet crystal fell into his palm.
It is this thing that can help him achieve perfect disguise.
According to the description, this crystal is actually a special mineral, the energy in it has a strong attraction to ordinary creatures.
In the starry sky, some civilizations call this crystal "the whisper of the devil".
Because, if you are exposed to it for too long, it is easy to have hallucinations, see some strange and inexplicable scenes, or hear some weird noises.
Some scientists believe that this kind of crystal has been exposed to cosmic rays for a long time and may carry some special factors that cannot be detected, which may cause hallucinations in people.
This statement has been supported by many people.
After all, many astronauts also experience symptoms such as hallucinations and auditory hallucinations after staying in deep space for a long time.
The universe is too vast and too strange, and there are still many unsolved mysteries. Existing civilization may not be able to decipher all the secrets of this vast starry sky even after billions of years.
Su Xia slowly pressed it to her forehead, and the crystal merged with the current character, and she immediately got a new prompt:
[Do you want to redesign character disguise? ]
Su Xia immediately clicked [Yes] and began to make up her new identity.
He changed his appearance to a normal one, changed his character description to "Merchant", created a new life, and lowered his psychic level to 2.1...
After doing all this, he adjusted his direction, looked at the big map, and rushed to Conch City without stopping.
At the same time, a wave of public opinion and hot topics is brewing throughout the southwest region.
The mechanical race's earth-shaking army shocked countless people.
All kinds of speculation, conjecture and rumors are flying around.
Since the end of the large-scale war between the two races, the Mechanical Race has never dispatched such a large army again.
A photo titled "Angry Mercer" was widely circulated in various underground networks, and various organizations wanted to know why this powerful mechanical creature was angry?
"I heard that Mercer also appeared in Seahorse City before, responsible for stopping the masked monster, but he was defeated by the masked monster in the end!"
"Impossible, who told you that?"
"That's Mercer!"
"Even if he fights alone, he can still beat the Masked Man, not to mention he has the support of the Mechanical Army behind him."
"The masked man is probably dead now..."
“…”
Some people mentioned Su Xia, but most people thought that Su Xia was not enough to make this legendary creature so angry, and that something more serious must have happened.
But they looked through history, checked materials, and searched for all the information about Mercer, but they really couldn't find any reason that could make Mercer angry.
You know, Mercer is one of the most trusted subordinates of the Lord.
His anger often represents the anger of the mechanical race.
On this planet today, are there any people or organizations that can make the mechanical race angry?
There are not many organizations worthy of the attention of the mechanical race!
Time passed slowly, and in a blink of an eye it was seven o'clock in the morning. The sky was bright and the night was gone, but the storm did not subside, but became more and more intense.
"What on earth are the Mechanic trying to do?"
"Are they looking for something? Is it really the masked man who escaped?"
“…”
Many people stay up late until their eyes are red, but they still don’t want to go to bed and want to wait until the conclusion comes out.
However, this matter has been kept too strictly secret by the Mechanical Clan, and no accurate news has been released so far. All that is circulating on the Internet are deliberately fabricated gossips that are designed to attract attention.
During this period , Su Xia logged off to have breakfast and took a look at the player forum. He basically understood what happened in the game and the current public opinion.
"Hey, a photo of Mercer..."
That picture of [Angry Mercer] was also circulating on the player forum.
Su Xia clicked it and enlarged it. The background of the photo was the night sky of Coral City, and there was a blurry figure in the sky.
It can be seen that the figure is silver-gray in color overall, which is somewhat different from Mercer's regular body, and it looks like a metal-free clone.
"Merser has so many clones. Fortunately, we were not besieged this time."
Su Xia rubbed his brows, feeling deeply that the mechanical race was very difficult to deal with.
Normal flesh and blood creatures can be killed with just one strike.
But the high-level members of the Mechanical Clan are immortal, especially the top ones, who have an endless supply of clones.
This is the real cheating, which is almost unsolvable in the real world.
