Chapter 110: Poisonous Scorpion, Arriving at the Cave [Please Subscribe I]

The bushes facing the floating bridge have been cleared to form a path.

There are many chaotic footprints on the slightly muddy ground near the river bank.

Whether the Collo Leon Farm is destroyed or rebuilt, it cannot stop the subsequent adventurers' desire to hunt monsters.

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

And money means fine wine, women, and food.

Many adventurers don't care whether the world is in chaos or not.

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

Chen Xuan estimated that he should meet other adventurer teams near the cave.

They can wait and see before taking action.

Crossing the path in the bushes, Rebecca walked in front with a rune dagger in hand.

Dora Silan was more than ten meters away from her side, and the two women stood in a fan-shaped outpost.

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

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

There was also a circle of ammunition belts tied under the bulletproof vest.

The extended tubular magazine of the M870 shotgun was filled with 7 rounds of 12-gauge single-headed bullets.

The magazine of the American Quail G2 was also loaded with two 20-gauge buckshot.

This type of ammunition represents one 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 difference between 12-gauge, 24-gauge, 28-gauge and other types of ammunition is the same.

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

Different styles of shotguns are compatible with different ammunition sizes.

Most of them are 3 inches and 2 inches, which are compatible with downwards, but it is best not to be compatible with upwards.

Because it is easy to explode.

In Bai Ying's collection, there are many matching ammunitions, and the types are also complete.

When you are in the woods and the vegetation blocks the shooting range, the shotgun is the best weapon choice.

In addition, he also holds 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" magic hammer from the storage compartment as a melee weapon.

The hammer is about 1.5 meters long and weighs 70 to 80 kilograms.

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

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

"One-eyed Bull" Henry is a strong man with the blood of highland barbarians and a body like a violent bear.

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

So Chen Xuan actually doesn't like this hammer.

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

Only the one that suits you is the best.

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

There was a fork in the road ahead.

Continuing westward was the depths of the Eya Forest, and more than ten miles east was the Brunden Zeman Farm.

To the north was their destination, the Monster Cave located in the northern hills of the Eya Forest.

Chen Xuan had taken photos of that place with a drone at that time.

It was a group of short mountains lying from east to west in the north of the forest.

It was like a wall blocking the continuation of the forest to the north.

It was at least more than ten miles from here.

It was difficult to trek in the forest, and it would take about half a water clock to arrive.

This was not the first time Rebecca came here, and she was particularly familiar with the routes nearby.

Chen Xuan looked up and estimated the time by the position of the two suns in the sky.

The sun can last for four or five water clocks, which should be enough for them to attack the cave before nightfall.

After nightfall, the monsters will become more and more manic, and the trouble will increase.

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

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

Chen Xuan ordered, and everyone immediately quickened their pace.

...

"The fork in the road is ahead."

"Old Buggy, should we continue to go west?"

Sorel Moran turned his head and asked.

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

There was also a group of adventurers with luggage on their backs resting in the open space next to them.

The fork in the road ahead leads to the Colo Leon Farm to the west, also known as the True West Trail.

To the southwest leads to the Brenden Zeman Farm, and to the north is the Three Leaf Valley and the Pioneer Slope.

Old Buggy's forehead was sweating, and the gray bee hovering in front of him did not lead the way at all.

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

His mind was working quickly.

There were no caves but ancient ruins in the direction of Sanye Valley and the Slope of the Forefathers.

So they could be ruled out.

The west path and the southwest fork both led to the Eya Forest, but in different directions.

Then it changed from a choice of three to a choice of two.

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

"Lord Sorel, my little bee is tired of flying."

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

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

Franco Bage found an excuse.

"Damn it, how could we bring sugar sand when we have to gather in a hurry?"

"You greedy hunchback!"

"May the disaster take you away!"

"If it delays things, I will break your arm and insert it into your back, so that you can grow wings like your little bee!"

Sorrel is not a good-tempered guy, and he immediately cursed.

"Sir, don't worry."

"There is a team of adventurers with camping equipment over there. They should be a hunting team that has been away for a long time."

"I'll just go and ask them for some sugar sand. It won't take too much time!"

Old Bage straightened his back slightly and rolled off the horse neatly.

Afterwards, without waiting for Sorel's consent, he trotted over on his own initiative.

The bronze-level adventurer leading the team was a rare lizard man.

He has a lizard head and is covered with light gray scales.

His feet and tail are also like lizards, but his upper body is similar to that of a stronger human.

His hands are 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 Buggy walked towards him, this guy looked at him with cold vertical pupils.

At the same time, he touched the handle of the double-edged sword hanging on his waist without any expression.

"What do you want?"

The tone of the war lizard man was very indifferent.

Because he noticed the dozen riders not far away.

Monsters are the main factor that promotes the unity of adventurers.

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

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

"I just have something to ask you."

"Did you see three women and one man passing by on this road just now?" Old Buggy asked in a low voice.

This made the war lizard man in front of him know what was going on.

He recalled the four figures riding strange vehicles and speeding past.

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

"100 crowns."

Gritting his teeth, Old Baji took out a mountain copper coin and a handful of black iron coins from his arms and handed them to the lizard man.

After receiving the money, he did not hide it. He simply told Old Baji what he had seen before and the direction where Chen Xuan and the other four left.

After getting the answer, this guy was relieved.

Then Old Baji asked the lizard man for some sugar sand, made some sugar water and went back.

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

"Thank God, my little guy has recovered his spirits!"

"Sir, let's continue on the road!"

"The little guy told me that your prey went to the west!"

After getting an accurate answer, Sorel reached out and pulled Old Baji onto the horse.

From Old Baji's trip to the city to inform him, to the gathering and pursuit, it took more than half a water clock.

This made Sorel impatient.

"Young men, don't pity the horses anymore, go full speed!"

Everyone kicked the horses lightly, letting the horses continue to move forward along the west path in a more physically demanding trot!

...

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

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

At the foot of the northern hills, there is an open forest area about one or two hundred meters wide along the line.

There are many monster corpses that have been cut for materials along the roadside.

Perhaps because there were adventurer teams coming and going here, Chen Xuan and his team had only encountered the first wave of monsters until now!

The road ahead was blocked by six goblin warriors, two night shadow wolves and a magic armor scorpion.

The goblins looked at the three women with greedy expressions and drooled unconsciously.

The evil instincts in their bodies were stirring.

Goblins and night shadow wolves were both first-level monsters, while magic armor scorpions were second-level monsters.

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

The latter was a two-meter-long, scary black poisonous scorpion, with its tail hook glowing with a faint blue light in the shadows of the forest.

The chitinous carapace was particularly thick, and there were spots on the back similar to ghost faces.

There were also differences in the level of monsters.

For example, they were both first-level monsters.

If fighting alone, the swift night shadow wolf could completely crush the goblin warriors.

For example, the strength of ordinary goblins is between log level and black iron level.

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

However, there are stronger goblins.

For example, the bear goblin, which is as big as a human man, is a second-level monster. It is terrifyingly strong, but also extremely slow. The goblin shaman is a gloomy spellcaster who can cast strange dark witchcraft.

If you combine a first-level goblin warrior with a night shadow wolf of the same level, you can turn it into a goblin wolf cavalry. The comprehensive strength can crush the adventurer at the peak of the black iron level, but it is inferior to the bronze adventurer.

At that time, there were four goblin wolf cavalry chasing Rebecca.

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

The strength of third-level monsters has a wider range, roughly between the middle bronze level and the early silver level.

The succubus at the time could pin the same-level poisonous eagle to the ground.

Of course, as a price, she was also continuously damaged by the poison.

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

But real battles are not a one-punch, one-kick exchange of damage.

There are many factors that can affect the outcome.

Team cooperation, timing of attack, and even those external objects can play a big role in the battle.

In fact, having good equipment, magic props, scrolls, and potions is also a reflection of the adventurer's strength.

Just like the team of "One-eyed Bull" Henry, everyone has two or three magic shields.

It takes a lot of effort for the monster to break these layers of "turtle shells".

For example, when the poisoned and injured succubus met the bronze-level wild boar Ragnar, 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 very important.

Of course, they are also very expensive.

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

Including jewelry that can activate magic shields, spell scrolls and various potions.

Most of the magic items in Magtan City can only be bought at the second level, 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.

At present, Rebecca and Dora, the two sisters, each wear an average of two magic jewelry.

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

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

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

As for the third-level items, it is difficult to buy them in Bang City.

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

The rest were also digested within the giant city.

Only a very small number of high-level magic props would flow into the state city.

You need luck and connections to grab them.

Johnson Iron Furnace has some connections, but it takes some time to get them.

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

In addition, all members have bronze-level magic element practice, so they can deal with it with ease.

Rebecca and Dora Silan rushed over first to intercept the Night Shadow Wolf and those goblins.

Sister Belia drew her sword and rushed towards the ferocious-looking poisonous armor scorpion.

The clan swordsmanship was performed, swinging out sharp blades.

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

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

"Chichichi!"

The big scorpion screamed a few times.

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

It flexibly avoided the blade that Belia swung out, and when it was about to get close, the hooked stinger on the tail was about to stab her.

Belia put away the knife and moved sideways a few steps, using the trees to cover himself.

At this time, thorny vines suddenly grew under the poisonous armor scorpion, directly entangled its appendages.

This is the effect of the first-level magic [Thorn Entanglement]!

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

This was Chen Xuan's work. 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 the corresponding spell model can be constructed.

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

Taking this opportunity, Chen Xuan just practiced.

Compared to the little cat girl and Yulan who went to deal with the goblin and the night shadow wolf.

Or it was Belia who needed more help.

[Thorny Entanglement] interfered with the attack rhythm of the poisonous armored scorpion.

After catching the rare opportunity to attack, Belia quickly dodged and launched an attack from the side.

The rune single knife in her hand aimed at the shaking scorpion tail and suddenly slashed it!

"Clang!"

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

The scorpion tail fell in response.

The broken tail behind the scorpion spurted out green thick slurry.

The scorpion without the poisonous tail is like a toothless tiger.

This guy has few abilities, and short-term acceleration is an ability.

But the most relied on is the poisonous tail and the pincers.

For Belia, the rest of the battle is very simple.

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

The basin-sized exploding fireball quickly condensed, and then flew towards the goblins under the control of his mind.

The scorching fireball hit the goblin warrior standing at the back, and a flower of fire bloomed.

The goblin warrior was immediately knocked away, his chest was torn and emitting wisps of green smoke.

The sparks fell on his companions around him, burning them and making them scream.

Soon Rebecca pierced his heart.

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

The three women skillfully cut out the magic core and took out useful materials.

The carapace, claws and venom glands of the poisonous scorpion are all good second-level materials.

However, Chen Xuan didn't lack this little money, so he only took away some materials that didn't take up space.

After moving forward for a while, they passed through the woods and came to the open area between the foot of the mountain and the forest.

Looking around, corpses can be seen everywhere.

Some are half-buried in the ground, and some are randomly piled together.

Most of them are gray bones unique to monsters, mixed with a small number of white bones of monsters or Naroa natives.

These are traces left by years of fighting.

Some corpses are still relatively fresh, obviously left not long ago.

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

"Master, the cave is there."

The little cat girl is familiar with this place.

The [Primary Demon Species] that caused the destruction of the Colo Leon Farm came from this cave.

She pointed to the right and saw 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 cave entrance was pitch black and did not emit any light.

It was like a big mouth in the abyss, ready to choose someone to eat at any time!

They finally arrived at their destination!
