For humanity, burn the stars.

Within Mine Area I, fewer and fewer players are still able to fight inside the mines.

Most of them returned to the top to rest and recover their strength, and soon some went back down to fight.

Very few people fight continuously inside the mine.

Besides [Gummy Bear], there are only four other players who are also taller and stronger than the others.

Of course, Qin Heling was still in the midst of battle.

Furthermore, his achievements far surpassed those of the players, leaving everyone in awe.

[Little Gummy Bear] swung the iron rod again, smashing a rock-dwelling insect, and asked Qin Heling, panting heavily:

"Captain, are you tired? Why don't you take a rest?"

At this moment, he had completely admitted that the other party was not some pretty face who needed their protection, and was even much more formidable than them.

Although his strength has been proven, players are still worried that Qin Heling might get injured here, or even be ambushed and killed.

After all, if he dies, the game is over.

Qin Heling, having eliminated a rock-dwelling insect before him, maintained a relatively steady breathing and responded briefly:

"It's okay, let's continue."

"Get rid of the rock-dwelling bugs as soon as possible so that the collector can continue to operate."

As for whether I will get hurt here...

Qin Heling was very confident in his safety.

Although those guard robots could not be used by him for attack due to the Star Alliance's settings.

However, in terms of defense, as long as the opponent has a clear intention to attack, they will definitely kill the opponent first.

[Little Gummy Bear] smiled, just about to say something to flatter him and see if he could gain some favor, when he suddenly heard a whooshing sound behind him.

Meanwhile, the players resting and watching above repeatedly reminded him:

"Hey! Behind you!"

"Be careful!"

My heart skipped a beat; I had no idea what was going on.

However, he made the right response to this unexpected situation.

Without turning back to check or see, the gummy bear suddenly ducked down and then stumbled forward.

It was this lunge that saved him from a deadly threat from behind.

"Sizzle—"

With a soft whooshing sound, a sharp claw pierced down from behind him.

The blow landed where it was originally, embedding itself deeply into the solid rock below, sinking several inches into it.

Sweating profusely, the gummy bear scrambled to its feet, first looking at the sharp claws embedded in the ground, a wave of fear washing over it.

If I don't dodge in time, I'll probably be the first player to die.

[Gummy Bear] Then looked up at the attacker behind her.

The newcomer was undoubtedly also a rock-dwelling insect.

However, this creature was completely different from its predecessors, being much larger in size.

Its height alone is about 1.5 meters, and its length is two or three meters.

Moreover, unlike its counterparts that climb on the ground, its outstretched limbs are thinner and longer.

Its body even has a metallic sheen, which is distinctly different from its stone-like counterparts.

If small rock-dwelling insects resemble beetles, this one is somewhat similar to a giant spider.

What just pierced the ground were its two enormous appendages next to its mouthparts.

Just then, the giant rock-dwelling insect was about to give chase again, its limbs flailing as it charged toward the gummy bear that hadn't had time to get up.

[Gummy Bear] was startled and reached out to grab the iron rod that had fallen to the side.

But it was clearly too late at that moment.

At this critical moment, a hammer struck the rock-dwelling insect precisely on its joint.

With a "crack," the metallic-looking joints shattered instantly.

Qin Heling stood in front of the gummy bear, confronting the large creature without fear.

At this moment, the other players also rushed over and surrounded the even larger rock worm.

Even the players who were resting above went back down to the mine after seeing the elite monster appear.

Even if I don't have much energy left, I still have to show my support, right?

With so many people, even if each person only has enough stamina to give it a blow, they could easily kill it.

For a time, the number of players in the entire mine far exceeded the number of remaining insects, and it was hard to tell who was more like the insect race.

[Gummy Bear] also got up from the ground, picked up the iron rod again, and joined the battle.

Despite their large numbers and high morale, no player dared to rush forward at this moment.

After all, this monster was completely different from the previous rock-dwelling insects; it was much more frightening to look at.

In such a realistic game, it's impossible to say that they are not afraid at all when facing a new monster.

Perhaps it will be possible in the future, but right now we're all pretty much newbies exploring the wilderness.

Therefore, the players were hesitant to approach and instead surrounded the rock-dwelling insect.

Seemingly knowing that it had no way out, or perhaps simply having no other thought than to attack, the rock-dwelling insect moved again.

It looked at Qin Heling, seemingly realizing that the other party was the most troublesome one here, and then lowered its body and charged forward again.

Qin Heling remained calm upon seeing the other party's posture.

Even though the enemy was significantly more dangerous, he showed no sign of backing down.

Qin Heling calmly stepped back, creating just enough distance to avoid the opponent's attack.

At the same time, he swung the engineering hammer high into the air and struck the other person's body heavily.

The impact struck the hard carapace with a heavy thud.

Not only does it look like metal, but its shell's defensive capabilities are also truly astonishing.

Although it failed to break through the carapace's defenses, the opponent's body trembled violently, as if it had been affected.

Taking this opportunity, the players around who were somewhat intimidated by its size and appearance were also encouraged again.

They immediately stepped forward and launched a fierce attack on the rock-dwelling insects with their weapons.

With five or six players attacking together, various weapons were used to strike them in turn, and both the joints and the shells were quickly smashed to pieces.

Soon, the rock-dwelling insect was knocked to the ground and completely crushed by the swarming players.

By this time, almost all the rock-dwelling insects in the cave had been cleaned up.

Except for one unlucky player who was stabbed in the thigh by a sharp limb in the chaos, all the other players were unharmed.

The players achieved their first victory since entering the game, although it was just a thoroughly enjoyable clash between noobs, but it did not affect their attitude.

The players cheered, celebrating their first victory in the mining area.
