Chapter 539: Ambush at the Heart of Fear
Chapter 539: Ambush at the Heart of Fear
Scarlet's eyes lit up the moment he saw the mission!
This mission offered 35,000 experience points, which was nearly 60% of the experience required for him to level up!
He knew that even a task that gave 0.6% of the experience needed for a level was considered a major one. This mission's reward was simply too generous!
Indeed, following Chief Ke always paid off.
Without further ado, he quickly gathered the players who had accepted the mission and rushed to the supply depot.
Ten minutes later, almost all the players outside the city gates had received the campaign mission. Scarlet returned to Su Yu's side at the city gate with the [Azerite Bombs].
Su Yu nodded in satisfaction when he saw that the number of players who had accepted the mission on the task panel had reached (100,000/100,000).
He flew a bit higher and addressed the players below, "Please wait here for a moment. In five minutes, you'll see portals appearing nearby. Just step through them when they do."
With that, he immediately cast [Teleportation].
Before the players could react, Su Yu's figure had already vanished from the sky.
The players could only wait patiently.
Five minutes later, five massive [Portals] unfolded on the empty ground outside the city gates. Each portal was over 30 meters tall, radiating an immense amount of magic, their colors deep and azure.
The five [Portals] were arranged like the vertices of a pentagon on the ground. The players received a game prompt, directing them to enter the designated portals.
They immediately sprang into action.
Scarlet and the thousand players who had helped transport the [Azerite Bombs] stepped into the portal closest to the city gate.
After a dizzying sensation, they found themselves in a dark, enclosed underground space.
The darkness was so complete that they couldn't see their own hands in front of their faces.
Just as the players were about to take out their torches and night pearls, a pure white psychic light sphere suddenly exploded in the sky. The light from the sphere illuminated the entire space, blinding many players who were unprepared.
"Ah! My eyes, my eyes!"
"I almost went blind! Ow, it hurts."
"Look, where are we? There are giant maggots all around us!"
Finally, Scarlet stepped forward and said, "Everyone, please calm down. According to Chief Ke's hint, this is the [Hatching Chamber] of the Heart of Fear. Follow the mission prompt to destroy the hatching chamber."
Scarlet was right. They were currently in the lowest level of the Heart of Fear, the very core of its existence—the [Hatching Chamber].
The hatching chamber was filled with countless cocoons, a nightmare for players with trypophobia.
When the cocoons hatched, they released many white maggots, which the players referred to as "giant maggots."
The hatching chamber was vast, and the number of cocoons and maggots was seemingly endless, numbering in the hundreds of thousands.
However, every dozen or so cocoons were separated by a [Amber Barrier].
The players didn't hesitate, enduring the nausea as they used the Azerite Bombs to destroy the [Amber Barriers] and kill the cocoons and maggots.
The cocoons and maggots were of a low level, mostly around Tier 1. The players could eliminate them in large numbers with ease, like cutting through a melon.
During this time, teams of Tier 2 to Tier 3 [Elite Hive Guardians] also arrived to reinforce the hatching chamber, flying in by the hundreds.
However, there were over 20,000 players who had teleported into the hatching chamber, and their average levels were also around Tier 2 to Tier 3.
These Bug Nest Guardians couldn't withstand the players' relentless assault and fell one by one at the entrance of the Hatchery.
This was Su Yu's entire plan.
Su Yu first infiltrated the Heart of Fear on his own. He was very familiar with this place, having raided the nearby dungeons countless times in his previous life during the Pandaren version. He knew it like the back of his hand.
Next, he opened five portals, each transporting 100,000 players to the five most critical areas of the Heart of Fear: the Hatchery, the Storage Room, the Armory, the Control Room, and the Queen Xaxuxil's Bedroom.
In the Hatchery, the players eliminated the mantid pupae and larvae.
In the Storage Room, the players were responsible for burning the mantid's food supplies.
In the Armory, the players destroyed the mantid's war materials.
In the Control Room, the players aimed to disable the entire Heart of Fear's connectivity system.
As for the Queen Xaxuxil's Bedroom, Su Yu intended to personally deal with the mantid queen, Xaxuxil, while the players could help by blocking her minions.
Queen Xaxuxil was napping in her bedroom when she suddenly felt the entire nest trembling violently. She awoke from her slumber, and her immense mental power immediately scanned the entire nest.
Upon sensing the five massive portals erected in the five key areas, she cursed softly, "Damn it!"
Humans had infiltrated their heartland without her even noticing—how could this be possible!
She quickly got up, intending to leave her bedroom to confront the intruders. But before she could reach the door, a massive blue dragon with a 40-meter wingspan suddenly appeared, blocking the entire entrance.
Xaxuxil, the mantid queen, was 30 meters long, and Su Yu, in his transformed form, was roughly the same size.
"Blue Dragon?" Xaxuxil looked at Su Yu in disbelief. "Sir Blue Dragon, why are you attacking us mantids?"
The blue dragon Su Yu replied coolly, "I am a friend of the Pandaren, and they specially sent me to deal with you. Xaxuxil, surrender now, and I'll spare your life."
"Make me surrender? You must be dreaming!" Xaxuxil was immediately enraged.
Her level was 82, while Su Yu's was 80. Despite the mere two-level difference, their strength was almost doubled. Moreover, her mental scans revealed no reinforcements of the same level for Su Yu.
An 80-level trying to make an 82-level surrender? Wasn't this just a dream?
Red light flared on Xaxuxil's forehead as she launched an immediate attack, her sharp scythe aimed at Su Yu's head.
Su Yu didn't dodge. He activated the equipment skill Earth Shield, and a layer of earth energy, like an eggshell, enveloped him. The shield was at least three meters thick.
Xaxuxil's scythe struck Su Yu's shield, producing only a dull "thud."
Seizing the opportunity, Su Yu unleashed a dragon breath, sending Xaxuxil flying back six to seven meters.
As they battled, Xaxuxil's Level 6 and 7 guards rushed to her aid. The mantid citizens and high-ranking mantids outside the nest also immediately came to her defense.
A full-scale battle erupted within the Heart of Fear.
