Chapter 110 The Poison Armored Scorpion Arrives in the Catacombs

The bushes facing the pontoon have been cleared to create a path.

On the slightly muddy ground near the river bank, there are still many messy footprints.

No matter whether the Kolo Leon farm is destroyed or rebuilt, it will not stop the subsequent adventurers' desire to hunt monsters.

After all, each monster represents a certain amount of money.

And money means wine, women, food.

Many adventurers simply don't care whether the world is chaotic or not.

Their ambition is very simple, that is to earn enough money by hunting monsters, and then go back to the city to enjoy, until one day they die at the hands of monsters.

Chen Xuan reckoned that there should be a team of other adventurers near that crypt.

They can wait and see before acting.

Across the path out of the bushes, Rebecca walked ahead with a rune dagger in her hand.

Dora Yucca was more than ten meters away from her, and the positions of the two women just formed a fan-shaped outpost.

Dora Beria stood at the end of the team, responsible for preventing attacks from the rear.

Chen Xuan walked steadily in the middle of the team, with a Remington M870 shotgun and an American Quail G2 double-barreled shotgun embedded with gold rims on his back.

There is also a round ammunition belt tied under the bulletproof vest.

The extended tube magazine of the M870 shotgun is filled with seven rounds of 7-gauge slugs.

The magazine of the American Quail G2 is also loaded with two 20-gauge buckshots.

This type of ammunition represents a pound of lead divided into twenty equal parts, and the total weight of the lead beads in each round is one-twentieth of a pound, so it is called 20-gauge ammunition.

The same goes for the difference between 12-gauge, 24-gauge, 28-gauge, and the like.

There are also different ammunition sizes, such as 3.5 inches, 3 inches, and 2 inches.

Different styles of shotguns are compatible with different ammo sizes.

Most of them are 3 inches and 2 inches, which can be backward compatible, but it is best not to be upward compatible.

Because it is easy to explode.

In Baiying's collection, there are a lot of ammunition used in conjunction with it, and the types are also very complete.

In the case of being in the woods and vegetation blocking the shooting range, the shotgun is the best weapon choice.

In addition, he was holding an M16A1 automatic rifle in his hand.

At present, Chen Xuan still uses firearms as his main weapon, but when necessary, he can also take out the second-level "Ice and Fire Two Heavens" magic sledgehammer from the storage compartment as a melee weapon.

The sledgehammer was about 1.5 meters long and weighed seventy to eighty kilograms.

With a bronze-level physique, it is enough to control, but as a heavy cold weapon, it requires skill to use.

After all, the weight of this hammer even exceeded his weight.

"One-Eyed Bull" Henry was a strong man with a highland barbarian blood and a build like a violent bear.

In terms of cold weapons, being able to pick them up and being able to control them freely are two different things.

So Chen Xuan actually didn't like this sledgehammer.

If you have the conditions, you still have to find a way to get a handy magic weapon or rune weapon.

Only what suits you is the best.

He and the three girls walked along the forest path for less than two miles.

There was a fork in the road ahead.

Continuing to the west is the depths of the Eya forest, and a dozen miles to the east is Brendon Zeman Farm.

To the north is their destination, located in the monster cave in the northern hills of the Eya Forest.

At that time, Chen Xuan had seen it with a drone.

It is a low mountain range lying across the northern part of the forest from east to west.

It was as if a wall blocked the continuation of the forest towards the north.

It's at least ten miles away from here.

Trekking in the forest is more difficult, and it takes about half a water clock hour to arrive.

This is not the first time Rebecca has come here, and she is very familiar with the routes around here.

Chen Xuan raised his head and estimated the time from Shuangri's position in the sky.

When Sunday still lasts for four or five water clocks, it should be enough for them to attack the crypt before nightfall.

After nightfall, the monsters became more and more frenzied, and it was troublesome to add a little bit out of thin air.

So as long as it can be done during the day, try not to delay it until night.

"Let's speed up and reach the crypt as soon as possible!"

Chen Xuan gave an order, and everyone immediately quickened their pace.

……

"There is a fork in the road ahead."

"Old Budge, shall we go on west?"

Sorell Moran turned his head and asked.

Halfway through the journey, a three-way road appeared ahead.

There is also a group of adventurers with luggage resting in the open space next to them.

The fork ahead leads west to Chloe Leon Farm, also known as the Due West Trail.

To the southwest is Brenden Zeman Farm, and to the north are Shamrock Valley and Pioneer Slope.

I saw old Budge sweating on his forehead, and the little gray bee hovered in front of him, not leading the way at all.

The fork in the road in front of him is not only a choice of route, but also a choice of fate for Franco Budge.

His mind was racing.

There are no burrows in the direction of Sanyegu and Xianminpo, only ancient ruins.

So it can be ruled out.

Both the path due west and the fork in the southwest direction lead to the Forest of Eya, but in different directions.

Then this changes from choosing one of three to choosing one of two.

At this time, Old Baji saw the team of adventurers who were resting, and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

"Master Sorel, my little bee is tired from flying."

"I wonder if you and your men brought sugar sand?"

"I need some sugar water for the little one."

Franco Budge found an excuse.

"Damn it, how could you bring sugar sand with you in a hasty assembly?"

"You greedy ricket!"

"May the plague take you away!"

"If things are delayed, I will fold your arm off and insert it into your back, so that you can grow wings like your little bee!"

Sorel is not a good-tempered guy, so he immediately cursed.

"My lord, don't worry."

"There is a team of adventurers with camping gear, it should be a hunting team that has been away for a long time."

"I'll just ask them for some sugar, it won't waste too much time!"

Old Baji straightened his back a little, and quickly rolled over from behind the horse.

Afterwards, without waiting for Sorel to agree, he trotted over on his own initiative.

The bronze-level adventurer leading the team is a rare troglodyte.

He has the head of a lizard and is covered in pale gray scales.

The feet and tail are also lizard-like, but the upper body is similar in shape to a stronger human.

The hand is divided into two parts, three long fingers and two short fingers, which can be slightly separated like pliers, but it does not affect the grip.

When old Baji walked towards him, this guy looked at him with cold vertical eyes.

At the same time, he touched the handle of the double-edged sword hanging on his waist calmly.

"Is there anything you need?"

The troglodyte's tone was indifferent.

Because he noticed the dozen or so riders not far away.

Monsters are the main factor that makes adventurers unite.

In an environment without monsters, the relationship between adventurers will be sensitive and suspicious.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Lizard Man."

"I just have something to ask you."

"Did you see three women and a man passing by on this road just now?"

Old Baji asked in a low voice.

This made the war lizard man in front of him know.

He recalled it for a while, and then remembered the four figures galloping past on strange vehicles.

After pretending to think for a while, he held out a finger.

"100 crowns."

Gritting his teeth, Old Baji obscurely took out an orichan coin and a small handful of black iron coins from his pocket, and handed them to the Zhanli.

After receiving the money, he didn't hide his secrets, and simply told old Baji what he saw before and where Chen Xuan and the others left.

After getting the answer, the guy breathed a sigh of relief,

Then Old Baji asked the Lizardman for some sugar sand, got some sugar water and went back.

While pretending to put the companion drone in the lid of the small cup filled with sugar water, he walked towards Sorel Moran with a smile on his face.

"Thank goodness my little one is back to life!"

"My lord, let's continue on the road!"

"Little guy, tell me that your prey is heading due west!"

After getting an accurate answer, Sorel stretched out his hand and pulled Old Baji on his horse.

From the time when Old Baji reported to him in the city, and then assembled to pursue him, it took more than half a water clock hour before and after.

This made Sorel impatient.

"Boys, stop pity the horses and go full speed!"

Everyone kicked the horse's belly lightly, so that the horse continued to move forward along the Zhengxi path in a more strenuous gallop!

……

After nearly half a water clock hour of trekking, Chen Xuan and the others were only a few hundred meters away from their destination.

Through the gaps in the tree trunks in front, you can see the gradually rising terrain.

At the foot of the northern hills, there is an open forest about 200 meters wide along the line.

Along the roadside, there are many corpses of monsters whose materials have been harvested.

Maybe it's because there are adventurer teams coming and going here, Chen Xuan and the others haven't encountered the first wave of monsters until now!
Six goblin warriors, two night shadow wolves and a magic armored scorpion blocked the way forward.

The goblins drooled unconsciously as they watched the three girls salivate.

The evil instinct in them is just around the corner.

Goblins and night shadow wolves are both first-tier monsters, while the armored scorpions are second-tier monsters.

Needless to say about the former, they are all the most common monsters in the caves around Magtan City.

The latter is a large and terrifying black poisonous scorpion with a length of two meters. Its tail hook glows faintly blue in the shadows of the forest.

The chitinous carapace is extremely thick, and there are spots on the back that resemble ghost faces.

There are also high and low points between monsters and monsters.

For example, they are both Tier [-] monsters.

Fighting alone, the swift Night Shadow Wolf can completely crush Goblin Warriors.

The strength of ordinary goblins is between the log level and the black iron level.

In a one-on-one fight, even an amateur who has not practiced before can kill it as long as he has a good weapon.

But there are more powerful beings among the goblins.

For example, the Bear Goblin, which is comparable in size to a strong human being, is a Tier [-] monster. It is frighteningly powerful, but also extremely slow. The Goblin Shaman is a gloomy spellcaster who can perform weird dark witchcraft.

If you combine a first-level goblin warrior with a night shadow wolf of the same level, you can become a goblin wolf cavalry. The overall strength can crush the adventurers at the peak of the black iron level, but they are inferior to the bronze level adventurers.

At that time, it was four goblin wolf cavalry who chased and killed Rebecca.

The strength of the second-level monsters is roughly between the adventurers of the black iron level and the bronze level.

The strength span of Tier [-] monsters is relatively large, roughly between the middle stage of Bronze Class and the early stage of Silver Class.

The succubus back then was able to rub the rotten vultures of the same level on the ground.

Of course, as a price, she was also continuously tortured by corruption.

The best monsters are usually half a level stronger than bronze-level adventurers.

But the real battle is not your punch, my kick damage exchange.

There are many factors that can affect the results.

Team coordination, shot timing, and even those foreign objects can all play a big role in battle.

In fact, having good equipment, magic props, scrolls, and potions is also a reflection of the adventurer's strength
Just like "One-eyed Bull" Henry's team, everyone has two or three magic shields.

It takes a lot of work for the monster to smash these layers of "turtle shells".

Another example was when the succubus who was poisoned and injured met Ragnar, the bronze-ranked wild boar. Obviously, she could still crush Ragnar in terms of strength.

But in the end, he was defeated by the three magic tears, and suffered endless humiliation on the spot.

So external objects are also important.

Of course, it's also expensive.

Chen Xuan has asked Ophelia to purchase a batch of magic props.

Including jewelry that activates the magic shield, spell scrolls and various potions.

Most of the magic items in Magtan City can only buy Tier [-] magic items, but as long as there are enough of them, they can still be invulnerable.

The first batch of items has been delivered at the same time as the magic tears.

Ophelia will continue to purchase supplies in this area in the future.

Right now, sisters Rebecca and Dora each wear an average of two pieces of magic jewelry.

In addition, there are several first- and second-tier magic scrolls and commonly used alchemy potions.

In addition to the necklace of [Azure Guardian], Chen Xuan also prepared a bracelet and a magic ring.

If it weren't for the rush of time, Ophelia could have gotten more.

As for Tier [-] items, it is difficult to buy them in Bangcheng.

Especially combat props, most of them are supplied to the front line.

The rest is also digested within the giant city.

Only a very small number of high-level magic items will end up in Bangcheng.

It takes luck and connections to get it.

Jason Ironforge has a way, but it will take a while to arrive.

Therefore, the current combat power of Chen Xuan and others has been significantly improved.

Coupled with the fact that all members have Bronze-level magic element cultivation, it is easy to deal with it.

Rebecca and Dora Yucca rushed over first, intercepting the Night Shadow Wolf and the goblins.

Sister Belia drew her knife and rushed towards the hideous poisonous armored scorpion.

The clan's sword technique was used, and there were sharp sword lights.

They slashed horizontally on the thick carapace, and the power of magic essence and chaotic magic annihilated each other.

The carapace was split open, and dark green body fluids splashed everywhere.

"jijiji!"

The big scorpion screamed strangely.

The eight appendages stepped on the ground quickly, and the speed increased suddenly.

It nimbly avoided the sword light that Beria swung out afterwards, and when it was about to get close, the poisonous hook at the tail was about to stab her.

Beria retracted his knife and moved a few steps sideways, using the trees to cover himself.

At this time, thorny thorny vines suddenly grew from the poisonous armored scorpion's body, directly entangled its appendages.

This is the effect of the first-order magic [Tangle of Thorns]!

Although the big scorpion broke free quickly, it was still slowed down.

This was Chen Xuan's handwriting, and he stood behind to construct magic to assist.

To become a powerful spellcaster, both talent and experience are indispensable.

The richer the spellcasting experience, the faster you can build the corresponding spell model.

The so-called "instant magic" is achieved with strong mental power and enough skilled construction experience.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Xuan happened to practice his skills.

Compared to the cat girl and Yucca who were going to deal with goblins and night shadow wolves.

Beria still needs help more.

[Tangle of Thorns] interfered with the attack rhythm of the poisonous armored scorpion.

After capturing the rare opportunity to make a shot, Beria quickly dodged and launched an assault from the side.

The rune in her hand single-handedly aimed at the swaying scorpion tail, and suddenly slashed away!

"Chong!"

After the loud slashing and collision sounds, Belia landed behind the poisonous armored scorpion.

The scorpion tail fell in response.

Thick green slurry spewed out from the broken part of the tail behind the scorpion.

A scorpion without a poisonous tail is like a toothless tiger.

This guy doesn't have many abilities, short-term acceleration is considered an ability.

But the ones he relies on most are the poisonous tail and pincers.

For Beria, the rest of the battle was simple.

On the other side, Chen Xuan was still casting spells.

The exploding fireball the size of a washbasin quickly condensed, and then flew towards the goblins under the control of his thoughts.

The scorching fireball hit the goblin warrior who stood behind, and a flower of flame bloomed.

The goblin warrior was immediately knocked into the air, his chest was ripped apart, and wisps of smoke were still rising.

The sputtered sparks landed on the companions around it, making them screech "Wah-wah".

Soon Rebecca pierced the heart.

In just two or three minutes, the encounter was over.

The three women are proficient in cutting the magic core and taking out useful materials.

The carapace, pincers and poison glands of the venomous scorpion are all good second-order materials.

However, Chen Xuan was not short of the money, so he only took away some materials that did not take up space.

It didn't take long to move on and pass through the woods to the open area between the foot of the mountain and the forest.

If you look around, you can see corpses everywhere.

Some are already half-hidden on the ground, while others are randomly piled together.

Most of them are gray bones unique to monsters, mixed with a small amount of white bones of monsters or Naloa aborigines.

This is the mark left by years of fighting.

Some of the corpses were still relatively fresh, obviously left not long ago.

But in this open land, everyone did not find any other adventurers and monsters fighting.

"Master, the crypt is over there."

The little cat girl is quite familiar with this place.

The [Elementary Demon Seed] that caused the destruction of Kolo Leon's farm came from this cave.

She pointed to the right, and she could see a cave entrance with a diameter of seven or eight meters on a rock wall two or three hundred meters away.

From their perspective, the entrance of the crypt was pitch black, without any light.

It's like a big mouth of an abyss, ready to choose someone to devour at any time!

They finally arrived at their destination!
