T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 70, Section 69: The Insect Master and the Demon Slayer

The purchasing power of 4120 points at the start is completely different from that at the end.

The faster you find a guide and convert them into combat power, the more you earn at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds.

After the summoning ended, Orange Tea was unconscious for a few seconds. When she woke up again, she had a special status effect.

Overdraft

“An uncontrollable, powerful spirit descended, but because you failed to pay her a fair share, she did not exert her full power.”

"Your body is exhausted due to the spiritual influence, and you will be unable to use any skills for the next 12 hours."

From appearance to disappearance in just a few seconds, Orange Tea had to pay the price of being sealed for 12 hours. What kind of monster did she summon?

No wonder the Summoner's skill interface says that summoning powerful spirits is not necessarily a good thing for players.

In the words of a card expert, powerful cards always come with risks.

Only the Proof of the Stars can do this. When Jiang Heyi saw this scene, he felt as if they had all been transported to a fantasy world of swords and magic.

It doesn't matter if one skill can't be used; Orange Tea has already pulled the guild back from the brink of defeat, so they can enjoy the privilege of winning without lifting a finger.

But without any unknown revelation, surely they won't be unable to find the one who reveals the truth...

There's no need to worry too much; there are no unknown revelations, but the good fortune brought by orange tea still remains.

The blankets searched along the edge of the swamp wetland, and following the hazy lights in the mist, they found a small wooden house.

In front of the wooden house, a guide, whose body was completely covered by a gray-white robe, with only a pair of eyes that gleamed with green light visible, waited for the arrival of the group.

On the table in front of him were a large number of specimens: butterflies, beetles, and insects he couldn't name, a dazzling array.

The Bird-Beak Doctor and the Crystal Witch can provide players with special services that ordinary guides cannot offer, and this Insect Master in front of us is no exception.

There are a total of 3 services available for purchase.

[Guiding Firefly]: 500 points
Obtain a firefly that lasts for 12 hours. During the firefly's existence, there is a small chance that it will provide the guide or monster with vague coordinate information.

[Zerg Warrior]: 3620 points
After purchase, you will randomly receive a special Zerg individual with a duration of 12 hours to assist in combat.

The points earned by the Zerg Warriors are distributed equally among all roles on the team.

Personally designate a Zerg warrior, consuming 3 times the points.

[Natural Disaster: ?]: 12280 points
Special natural disaster trials will be launched across the entire map.

Activating the Scourge grants the [Swarm Enemy] status for 3 hours, significantly increasing damage dealt to Scourge creations.

Natural disasters do not conflict with [astrological predictions].

The first two were alright, but the third one, the "natural disaster," really opened everyone's eyes to the boundary between reality and illusion.

This option is equivalent to personally speeding up the game. Whether you activate the natural disaster in the early, mid, or late game, it can become the final "barbell" that crushes the surviving players.

Jiang Heyi suddenly remembered the bird-beaked doctor.

At that time, there were no points at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds. The Bird-Beak Doctor disdained to demonstrate the services he could provide, but he claimed to have a potion that could wipe out the entire map...

Could that be a plague?
During the qualifying rounds, the skill levels of guilds varied greatly, rendering these services useless.

But if it's a major tournament or a world championship with many top players, wouldn't this be a speed booster for the competition?
By actively activating the Cataclysm, the 3-hour [Swarm Enemy] event is enough for guilds that activate the Cataclysm to rack up high scores and take the lead.

If that's the case, then what is the highest-level planetarium in the Crystal Witch's tier?
Surely he can't become the chosen one of the plane and summon meteorites, can he?
After being slightly shocked by the guide, and seeing that the prices of all the items had jumped by 100 points, Jiang Heyi quickly made a decision.

"I want to buy a Zerg Warrior."

The Mushishi chuckled hoarsely, then picked up a small black wooden box from beside his feet and placed it on the table.

"Come on."

As is customary during the lucky draw, orange tea is served, but this time she seemed a little hesitant.

Looking at the table full of specimens, and considering what the Mushishi said, I really hope this box doesn't contain...

As I reached into the orange tea, my nearly dead heart instantly came back to life.

She excitedly pulled out the note and opened it as if she had been granted a pardon.

"Demon Suppressor... Trampler?"

What kind of bug is this?
The Mushishi took the note, a hint of a smile flashing in his green eyes.

He turned and went into the wooden house, and soon came out with a palm-sized, glossy black stag beetle specimen.

This shovel beetle of unknown species has extremely large mandibles, with forked horns at the ends that spread out luxuriantly like the branches of a leaf.

A beam of green light shot from the Mushishi's eyes, and the already dead shovel beetle began to move wildly, its elytra opening and closing repeatedly.

As the Mushishi released its grip, the shovel beetle rapidly grew from the size of a palm to a size well over two meters long.

Even Zhong Zemo, the tallest member of the group, looked like a little brother in front of it.

"The Demon Suppressor Tramplers are yours."

"You can name it whatever you want. Even if you just call it 'Hey,' it will sense and understand."

The trampling victim actually nodded in a humane way.

While others were observing the trampling victim, Jiang Heyi had already spent the remaining 400 points.

I spent 5 points on the points display feature. The remaining 395 points were used to bless him and his original fries [walking with the wind].

After the first day of guild wars ended, players had many debates about the topic of blessing guild war equipment.

Let them fight their battles; Jiang Heyi is determined to bestow the blessing of "walking with the wind." Once you've experienced the thrill of lightning speed and the preemptive strike, you'll never want to go back.

At the boundary between the real and the virtual, this is the blessing with the highest priority.

Having secured the opening bonus, the Reality Boundary team not only received the first Blessed equipment for their two main damage dealers, but also gained a Best 8th player.

The Trampler became Orange Tea's mount.

It could walk upright and obediently bent down to carry the orange tea on its back, which meant that Zhong Zemo had one less person to take care of.

As for his strength, Jiang Heyi had only one assessment.

Excellent value for money.

【The Demon Suppressor】, the name itself contains the power to suppress demons, which is its signature feature.

The spiders, slimes, and elemental creatures in the swamp wetlands reacted to the Trampler as if they had encountered a demon.

Before the magic could even touch the trampler's body, it was distorted and neutralized by an invisible force.

Walking upright, it crushed every enemy it encountered like a bulldozer, its firm and powerful strides leaving behind only shattered corpses.

It looks as bulky as an armored warrior, but with its elytra spread, it can fly halfway. In one swoop, a large slime is pierced through by its large horn.

The boundary between reality and illusion felt as if it had activated Pokémon battle mode. Without the trainers having to lift a finger, the Trampler could solve all the problems, and points were easily obtained as if drinking water.

The audience outside the venue was stunned. Is the gameplay of this guild war really that rich?

The boundary between reality and illusion is simply following behind this giant beetle that can only walk upright, and you can rack up points and reach the top of the leaderboard.

In just a few hours, he broke through the boundary between reality and illusion in the Great Swamp Wetland and held 30211 points.

At this point, only 6 hours had passed since the guild war began.

The overwhelming power of the Demon Suppression allowed the Swamp to be completely ravaged by the Tramplers. Only a few particularly troublesome overlord monsters required the combined efforts of the Real and Illusory Boundaries.

At this point, the Trampler only needs to act as a support role, standing next to the Overlord Monster and interfering with its magic release.

At the start of the game, the giant mud worm encountered the boundary between reality and illusion once again. This time, without the need for orange tea to summon it, the righteous ganging up of 6 people and 1 worm crushed its proud special skill into mud before it even had a chance to unleash it.

It can tank, support, and deal damage, providing maximum safety.

When you give it a high five, it will even slightly raise its short, weak arms, resembling those of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, in response.

This action earned him praise from his bedmate, who said it was "so funny."

"Even if it's just a local specialty of Guangdong, the twin tails are so versatile, I'd be willing to let them be my mount."

This feels like the highest praise that the prison guard, a Cantonese, could give, even though it sounds rather abstract.

As noon approached on the first day, Jiang Heyi muttered to himself, "It feels like it's almost here."

Just as they stopped to rest and begin to eat, the voice of the Flame Sparrow rang in their minds once again.

"Reversed Stars"

"Starlight has illuminated an unknown destiny..."

Star Sign: [Elemental Calamity - Earth] has been loaded.
"Watch out, the ground is solid beneath your feet."

Upon hearing this, the virtual-real boundary, where many fish were being fried in the lake and grilled, subconsciously looked down at its feet.

The riddle-like nature of the Star Trials is no longer surprising to them; the only question is... how will the danger strike?
"Hey, want one too?" Orange Tea handed a fish to the trampler who stood by like a bodyguard. "You've worked hard carrying me around."

The tramp shook its head, indicating that it did not need to eat, and then spread its wings and flew swiftly across the water.

When it returned, its short forelimbs were covered with fresh fish that were still struggling and wriggling.

It piled all the fish at everyone's feet, just like a nanny.

"Hey, is the Star Token profitable? I want it as a pet, can you sell it?" the jailer shouted to the administrator.

Don't worry about whether it can hear you or not, just shout it out.

This shout startled the trampling creature, which took off again without warning. Once in mid-air, it was like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, plunging straight into the soft mud by the lake.

A giant earth-elemental slime, over two meters tall, silently crept within five meters of the group.

Jiang Heyi and his companions were caught off guard by the magic they sensed.

If it weren't for the Tramplers' unusually keen sense of [Suppression], they would have been wiped out.

The jailer was dumbfounded: "Hey, something's not right. How could you not notice such a big slime?"

“It’s a celestial event.” Jiang Heyi frowned. “Elemental Calamity: Earth. It probably means that all earth elemental beings will be strengthened, and more earth elemental beings will be generated in the area.”

Zhong Zemo felt a chill run down his spine.

"So, in the later stages of this match..."

"If we don't find a high spot to squat on, something might pop up under our feet at any moment," Jiang Heyi said. "Let's eat quickly, and then we should hurry up and rack up points."

"While the Trampler boss can still tank the damage for us."
