It’s a strange invasion, is it okay for me to fight back?

Chapter 451 Unable to Use
Old Hassan laughed quietly.

"Sir, you brought supplies to the GRU and are our guest, so I would like to advise you to be careful when looking for people in the territory of the giant earthworms, because the giant earthworms will devour everything."

The secretary relayed Hassan's words to Huang Yi.

Ye Zheng who was behind also heard it and asked Li Qing in a low voice: "Since he came in, this guy has been talking about the giant earthworm. What kind of monster is the giant earthworm?"

"It should be a regional mission generated by the system." Li Qing explained, "In addition to the maze, there are many regional missions on the game map. The difficulty is lower than the maze, and the boss level is mostly elite or leader."

Ye Zheng frowned. "If it is a contaminated body outside the maze, the Supervisory Bureau has dealt with many of them, but it seems that there have been few in the past two months, and there is no news about it."

Li Qing nodded slightly. "Well, because most of the regional quests have been completed by players, the game system will no longer generate new regional quests after the problem occurs. The giant earthworm here should be a regional quest boss that was missed by players."

All the monsters in the game are composed of elements extracted from local myths and legends, and myths and legends originate from human imagination of the world.

Imagination often stems from fear.

Exploring outward, one fears the mysterious and unknowable outer gods; exploring inward, one fears digging through hell and facing the devil.

Human beings have always been afraid of the unknown world, but have never stopped exploring.

In this GRU mine, workers dug down day after day, the mine became deeper and deeper, and the darkness lingered. The accumulated fear made people imagine that there was a monster living underground that could devour everything. They even gave this monster divinity, and began to worship and believe in it. If someone died in the mine, it was a punishment from the giant earthworms, and no one would investigate the real cause of death.

This has been the tradition in the mine, the giant earthworms are above the law.

Therefore, the miners did not think they needed to be responsible for the missing team members, and even thought that Huang Yi's behavior of bringing people into the mine to look for team members was very stupid and disrespectful to the macrophagous worms.

Old Hassan led the way in front, constantly introducing the glorious history of the mine to Huang Yi, and indirectly introducing the glory of his family.

Huang Yi reacted coldly most of the time and didn't talk much.

But the other person has a strong desire to talk, as if he has finally found someone to talk to, and he keeps talking.

"When I was young, I followed my uncles into the mines. Later, when my uncles grew old and sick, it was my turn to lead my sons and nephews into the mines. Every stone here has been touched by us, and every piece of gold is stained with the sweat and blood of our Hassan family."

He pointed to the two GRU hunters beside him, his tone unable to conceal his pride, "These are my two nephews, Hamid and Ali. They are not only excellent gold diggers, but also excellent hunters. In order to feed the elderly, women and children who are hiding from pollution in the mines, the two go out to search for supplies every day, rain or shine."

Huang Yi asked calmly: "If there are only two hunters, it should be difficult to support so many people. Apart from the two of them, are there other hunters in the mine?"

"There are seven... eight hunters," Old Hassan paused for a second, "Oh, it should be nine."

Huang Yi sneered, "Can't you remember just a few people?"

Old Hassan smiled at Huang Yi and said, "Sir, I am different from you. I am old and I can't remember many things."

Huang Yi did not dwell on this point too much, and said calmly: "It is not common for a small town to gather nine hunters. Even the big cities in some countries may not be able to gather nine card holders."

Old Hassan didn't take this spying seriously at all, and kept smiling. "That's because there are giant earthworms in this mine, sir. Giant earthworms are our wealth just like gold mines. Whenever an alien species enters the mine, it will be devoured by the giant earthworms, and then leave us one card after another."

The tunnel ahead was getting narrower and narrower, and the cat spider couldn't pass through, so Ye Zheng could only move forward reluctantly. Huang Yi stopped.

Old Hassan noticed that the person behind him did not keep up, so he stopped and turned to look at Huang Yi.

Huang Yi held a flashlight, and the strong light shone directly on old Hassan's wrinkled face.

"What's wrong, sir?" Old Hassan asked with a smile, his turbid eyes revealing greed and madness without any concealment.

"What if the ones who entered the mine were not aliens, but my team members?" Huang Yi asked him.

"Is there a difference?" Old Hassan grinned. "When the golden eagles in the sky are looking for food, they don't care whether the lambs running in the field belong to GRU or Eshia. When the giant earthworms underground are hungry, they don't care whether the ones that fall are aliens or humans. This is the law of nature and a fate that cannot be changed."

Huang Yi's face was as gloomy as water, staring coldly at the crazy old man in front of him, "You are a frog in the well, how shameless! The entire GRU has fled, the army has collapsed, and the regime is in name only. You are isolated and helpless. Why do you think you can go against the UN rescue team? Is it because of the nine cards you stole?"

“Haha…” Old Hassan laughed. “Sir, you still don’t understand. The underground is different from the surface. As long as we are underground, in this mine, we are equal. There is no country or law here. There are only giant earthworms… and their food.”

The murderous intent is evident.

Huang Yi was full of vigor and power, with fire bursting from his palms like leaping lightning.

Old Hassan's two nephews stepped forward and protected him behind them.

"Open your eyes and take a look, respected commander..." Old Hassan laughed hoarsely, "If you want to leave here safely, you'd better take your people and leave quickly, because the giant earthworms may appear at any time. No matter how many hunters and pollutants you have around you, they will only become its food."

Huang Yi frowned and looked around.

He had seen cave entrances everywhere along the way, and this location was no different in his eyes. Perhaps only the locals knew which caves would attract underground monsters.

"I've already said that people can disappear, but the cards won't disappear." Huang Yi raised his hand and the flashing electric light in his hand instantly turned into a glowing whip. "If you can't hand over the missing team members, I can only take you away and ask you to hand over the cards."

A fierce look flashed in the eyes of old Hassan, "Then you try it!"

Two GRU hunters attacked Huang Yi at the same time!
Huang Yi whipped his whip and swept across! The lightning bound them like a chain!

Li Qing, who was behind, was surprised to see the two sides fighting, because Ye Zheng, who was always warlike, stood still.

Ye Zheng noticed his gaze, glanced at him, and whispered: "It is inconvenient for me to move when Huang Yi takes action."

The two GRU hunters were also shocked. They thought that the whip would at most cause them some pain. However, after the contact, they found that there was no pain or burning sensation at all. It was like the weak air whipping their bodies, without any pain or itching.

But not feeling any pain or itching doesn't mean there is no cost.

They discovered that their card abilities were no longer usable!
