Chapter 10: It's Not Time for Me to Act

The temptation of obtaining several complete sets from these fourteen pieces of equipment was simply irresistible. Even the possibility of someone in the three families acquiring another complete set was enough to make hearts race.

"As for crossbow bolts, we have a hundred and sixty mosquito needles," Chen Ru Lei reported the number with some concern, his brows furrowing immediately after.

The last transaction with Zhang Feng had exchanged all their mosquito needles, and the fact that they could produce another hundred and sixty in one day was the result of the entire Chen family going out to hunt.

Unfortunately, these mosquito needles could only exchange for one piece of equipment.

"We Li family has a hundred and thirty crossbow bolts with flame damage. How many pieces of equipment can these exchange for?" Li Da Hai thought for a moment and reported a number.

Zhang Feng replied, "It depends on the attributes."

Li Da Hai took out a crossbow bolt from his ring and handed it to Zhang Feng, saying, "This is the kind, take a look."

It was a crossbow bolt made of pure bronze, about a foot long, with a red flame pattern covering the body, and it felt slightly warm to the touch.

Fire Crossbow Bolt:

Quality: Bronze.

Type: Crossbow Bolt.

Sharpness: Four.

Attribute: Comes with a scorching effect, which can reduce the flexibility of the attacked part by 3%, lasting for one minute. The effect can stack up to two layers, with a maximum of 6% reduction in flexibility.

Compared to the mosquito needle, it has one less attribute, but the duration is longer. A maximum of 6% reduction in flexibility is also a decent attribute.

It's barely comparable to the mosquito needle, but unfortunately, there are only a hundred and thirty of them.

Li Da Hai seemed to know that these were not enough to exchange for a piece of equipment, and he hurriedly said, "If you really want to sell, we are willing to exchange with Earth Coins. What do you think?"

Zhang Long also said, "If you only need crossbow bolts, the Zhang family indeed does not have any, and we are also willing to buy at a high price."

Chen Ru Lei also quickly added, "Young man, the Chen family is the same. We really can't come up with more crossbow bolts, and we are also willing to buy with Earth Coins."

Money is nothing?

It's useless if it can't withstand the insect tide.

So all three families believed that at this time, equipment was more important than money.

Zhang Feng was a bit hesitant.

He naturally knew that money was useless at this time. A hundred and thirty crossbow bolts, plus the ones on his body, only amounted to six hundred or so.

If the insect tide really came, would six hundred be enough?

The leaders of the three families saw Zhang Feng hesitating and became a bit anxious.

They also knew that it was a bit much to exchange with money. At this time, who didn't know that money was useless?

Zhang Long was the first to make a tough decision, clenching his fist and gritting his teeth, and said, "Young man, how about this, our Zhang family will give out a mission scroll. This scroll can only be used in the second-level battlefield, what do you think?"

"Mission scroll?" Zhang Feng was slightly stunned and said, "What kind?"

"This is a mission we found based on the information left by our ancestors. However, the following mission scrolls are for the second-level battlefield, and we don't know how much the reward will be, but since our ancestors left it, it shouldn't be too bad. What do you think, young man? This scroll for two pieces of suit parts, this is the most sincere thing we can offer."

"How about this?" Zhang Feng stroked his chin and nodded, "Not bad, deal."

Money is indeed useless. But the reward of the mission scroll is uncertain. One must also plan for the long term. After all, if he survives the insect tide, he must go to the second-level battlefield.

Then this scroll will be useful at that time. After more than ten days in the first-level battlefield, he finally encountered a mission. It can be guessed how difficult it is to encounter a mission in the battlefield, so Zhang Feng wanted it.

As soon as Zhang Long saw Zhang Feng agree, he was overjoyed and took out the scroll and traded with Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng took the scroll and used reconnaissance, only to find that the scroll could only be opened when he reached the second-level battlefield, so he could only shake his head and throw it into the ring.

"We Li family really don't have any more," Li Da Hai frowned and said with a wry smile, "One piece of equipment for three thousand Earth Coins, we are willing to pay double the price for one piece."

"The Zhang family is also," Chen Ru Lei shrugged and replied.

At this time, Chen San said, "Brother, we are all on the same side, let's do it this way. If we could take it out, we would have already come to exchange it."

Zhang Feng saw that it was really impossible, so he could only trade like this.

The Li family and the Chen family each bought one, each spending three thousand Earth Coins.

Then a hundred and sixty mosquito needles and a hundred and three each bought one, and bought a few pieces of ordinary equipment and weapons, and the remaining equipment could only sigh and watch the remaining equipment.

They really had no money.

The Zhang family spent a scroll and got two pieces, but there was still some money left, and bought the remaining suit and other equipment.

So far, Zhang Feng has nineteen thousand Earth Coins on him.

It can be said that nearly one-third of the wealth of this first-level battlefield is concentrated on Zhang Feng.

Seeing the transaction completed, Luo You reminded on the side, "Now that everyone has nothing to worry about, take your positions and wait for the night."

Night---

These two words made everyone's hearts sink.

Half of the sun has already sunk to the end of the horizon, and the night is really coming.

"Woo!"

The alarm sounded above the camp, making everyone's hearts sink sharply.

A signalman stumbled over, his face pale, and said urgently, "Report. The electronic eye on the outskirts just found a large number of insects pouring out of the buildings. Is, is..."

There is no need to say more.

Everyone rushed to their own positions.

What they saw was countless centimeter-long beetles densely gathered at the fence outside the camp. These insects, like monsters that devour everything, turned the forest and grasslands into a desolate place wherever they crawled.

A few mice were crawled over by the beetles, making a few screams, and not even bones were left.

Zhang Feng's face was ugly, and Chen Yu and Li Qian's faces were not good-looking.

"This--" Chen San took a breath of cold air and said in a trembling voice, "This is too terrible."

Although their ancestors had said that the insect tide was very terrible, they always thought that no matter how terrible the insect tide was, it should be able to be dealt with under modern weapons.

Now staring at hundreds of thousands of beetles, even the most courageous people have a scalp numbness and an ugly face.

Can this small camp, the fence with high voltage, stop these terrifying guys?

These beetles seem to want to destroy everything, wherever they pass, the grassland turns into a desert, and the rocks are also nibbled into rubble.

Everyone's hands are shaking, and everyone's mood becomes extremely depressed.

As the beetles move, everyone begins to sweat coldly behind their backs.

But they also know that there is no way to escape now, and only by surviving the insect tide can they have a chance to survive.

When the beetles approached the high-voltage electricity, the electric arcs on the high-voltage electricity were attracted by these small lives, and a large amount of electric light was immediately sprayed out.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

One by one, the beetles were hit by the electric arc, and they burst in an instant, turning into a small pool of fishy green blood.

All the beetles went forward, as if they didn't know the electric arc in front of them, and kept impacting the fence.

However, no beetle has ever been able to cross the fence, and a pool of fishy green blood kept flowing everywhere.

This accident made everyone's hearts relax.

Chen San wiped his cold sweat and said with a smile, "I was scared to death. If these beetles came over, I'm afraid all the people in our camp would not be able to support for an hour and would all die here."

"Brother Chen, I think we don't need to use our hands at all, and the insect tide will pass so easily."

A soldier in front laughed and said, "What are these little guys? The most abundant thing on the changed Earth is electricity. Even if these guys come in hundreds of thousands or millions, they can't consume all the electricity. It seems that we are too nervous this time. Times have changed, and it's not the world described by our ancestors. Can't modern technology deal with these little guys?"

A group of soldiers began to gather together, talking and laughing, pointing at these insects.

Zhang Feng found that now most people have begun to relax their vigilance.

The only unchanged soldiers still hold weapons, looking forward seriously.

Zhang Feng's eyes swept over these beetles, and
