Through
Darko was hurrying ahead, when he suddenly stopped and listened, he faintly heard the sound of an explosion, which seemed to be more than ten kilometers away, probably where he had laid a trap. He looked stunned at first, then laughed relaxedly. The nervousness was due to the fact that the trap he laid was detonated, which confirmed that VitB12 was tracking behind, but it was easy because VitB12, whether it was slightly injured or seriously injured, did not dare to chase too fast after it in order to prevent possible traps, which is the purpose of Dako's trap.
Dakko didn't immediately continue to lay traps, but blessed himself with a sprint and ran away after the operation. With VitB12 on guard, the traps are hard to work again, and there aren't many elemental blasts copied by Darko, so they need to be kept for life. The only thing Dakko needs to do now is to cross the Poison Mist Valley as fast as possible, as long as he crosses it, even if he fights VitB12, he will not have an obvious disadvantage.
At this time, Darko's pace suddenly stopped, because a demonic beast appeared in front of him. It was a centipede five meters long, as large as a cow, with silver thread on its back, and at this moment it was standing half-upright, with four eyes staring at him together, and its two forelimbs like giant scythes. Darko quickly recognized that this was a fourth-order magical beast, the four-eyed centipede, an extremely ferocious magical beast.
Fourth-order demonic beasts are already the existence at the top of the food chain of the Mercury plane, and if you want to fight them, you must first weigh whether you have enough weight, not to mention that the four-eyed centipede is also highly poisonous. The pair of macropods closest to the head are deformed, resembling arms, and extremely sharp. This centipede usually moves with its lower body and its upper body standing up like a snake.
Every year, the four-eyed centipede grows an extra section, and it also produces an extra pair of steps. This centipede is five meters long and has more than 200 pairs of steps, which means that it has lived for more than 200 years. Of course, the ordinary Demonic Beast Darko didn't pay attention to it, but this four-eyed centipede was also the most ferocious existence among the fourth-order Demonic Beasts, and it was known for its tenacious vitality, and it would take a lot of time for Darko to win, which was obviously what he didn't want.
Dakko ran to the side a little in the wrong direction, and he had to continue to run forward, so he wanted to take a detour from the side. When the centipede saw that Darko was about to run, it hissed and chased after it. A hundred claws under its body moved in unison, and countless paws were seen crawling on the ground, looking like countless oars flapping, kicking up countless dust and sand, and the scene was quite spectacular. The speed was even faster, and in the dust, he chased after Darko in the blink of an eye and crashed into Darko.
Darko jumped forward and rolled down, and the centipede was crashing into a small tree, and as soon as its teeth opened and closed, there was a click, and the little tree had been bitten in two. This centipede is not only sharp in its blades, but also extremely powerful in its teeth. With a single blow, the four-eyed centipede had already swung its body and slashed at Darko. Darko jumped to his feet, his blade grazing his body, slashing at a large rock, and for a moment the stone chips flew away.
Darko was not slow to move, and the five-bend ice moon technique hit the centipede at the same time, but the centipede suddenly twisted its body and avoided the three-bend ice moon, only two of the bends hit the centipede's body, only to hear the sonorous and crisp sound. Although this centipede is not a monster of the armor defense type, but in the end, it is a fourth-order demonic beast, and the Ice Moon Technique cannot break the defense. A blow was useless, the centipede had turned around and aimed at Dakko and slashed again, the speed was outrageous, Dakko relied on the frost armor to block it, only to hear the sound of the sonor, this blow had shaken him out, fortunately, Darko's ice moon technique attracted the attention of the centipede, otherwise the centipede made up for the knife, and Dakko would probably be seriously injured.
Dakko took the opportunity to run forward, constantly distancing himself from the four-eyed centipede, using the surrounding obstacles to avoid attacks, and secretly estimating the centipede's strength in his heart. Before this battle, he had killed more than one fourth-order demonic beast, but most of them were slow-moving demonic beasts, and they were all non-poisonous ordinary demonic beasts. And this poisonous and fast-moving centipede, this is the first time he has encountered it, this kind of magical beast is the type of magic that headaches magicians have.
But Darko soon discovered that although this centipede was indeed fierce and powerful, it had not yet reached Darko's expectations in other aspects, and it was more than a step worse than other fourth-order demonic beasts in terms of attack and strength. For example, just now the centipede's knife foot slashed on the boulder, only a little stone chip was chopped, if it was other fourth-order demonic beasts, then it was possible to shatter the stone at once, and the scar on the Darko frost armor was not very deep, just a little stronger than the attack of the jumping snake. This made him understand a little, while the four-eyed centipede greatly increased its speed, its other attributes were correspondingly worse than those of the same level of demonic beasts.
With this understanding, Dakko immediately thought of a countermeasure, the speed of this centipede is too fast, and the fighting is not good, and it can't run away, so it can only fight hard. And the speed has reached such a level, and the vitality is probably not very strong, as long as you can break through its skin, it is possible to kill it. So Darko stopped running away, and while running, an ice barrier had already been cast on him, and just after the spell was cast, the four-eyed centipede had already caught up, and the two scimitar feet smashed quickly on the ice barrier.
Seeing that the knife foot had only cut into a distance of two centimeters, Darko was completely relieved and began to concentrate on preparing his magic. First, a Xuan Ice Spell fell on the centipede's body, and the centipede screamed, but it was irretrievably hit by the sluggish effect. The four-eyed centipede moves too fast, and if you don't find a way to slow it down, there's a good chance that magic won't be able to hit it. Darko usually uses the Ice Spell on people or monsters of the same level as himself, and the probability of having a sluggish effect is not too large, usually less than half of the probability, and the duration is also very short. But now I use this centipede, but I have succeeded once, and I don't know if it is good luck or this centipede's magic resistance is low.
The movement speed of these four-eyed centipedes is fast, and the attack speed is also not slow, even if it is hit, the slow attack speed is comparable to that of ordinary fourth-order demonic beasts, and the sword foot slashes at the ice barrier like a hoe, and the ice barrier finally shatters into a little bit of cold. Just as the centipede was about to attack Darko, it noticed a sound coming from overhead, and before it could react, ice picks had already smashed on its body one after another in a line. The Icicle Technique was already faster than the Ice Moon Technique, and the centipede had been hit by the Sluggish Effect again, and it could no longer dodge the Icicle's attack.
The centipede let out a terrible scream, and a large cloud of poisonous mist came out of its mouth, which was different from the yellow-green color in the valley of poisonous mist, and the poisonous mist that this centipede spit out was pale cyan in color. Dakko was shocked, and hurriedly hid his face and retreated, but the poisonous fog spread quickly, and Dako's ability to hold his breath was a little worse, and he accidentally inhaled it before rushing out of the poisonous mist, only to feel dizzy for a while, but fortunately, he had poisonous anti-glyphs on his body, and he did not faint on the spot.
Darko was about to continue the previous tactics, the four-eyed centipede's upper body swayed, and the four eyes suddenly widened, and a mental fluctuation came out, and Darko's whole body stiffened, and it was actually under mind control. This is exactly the same kind of mind control that VitK4 used in the first place, and the effect of immobilization makes Dakko unable to move for a while.
The four-eyed centipede was already angrily rushing over, slashing at Dakko twice. The speed of this centipede was really fast, and the two blades only flashed a little light and shadow in the air. Darko couldn't dodge under mind control, so he could only rely on the frost armor to carry it. The blade foot is deeply embedded in the frost armor, and the ice pick technique also hit the centipede's body, although Darko can't move for the time being, but it doesn't affect the casting, and it is impossible to miss at such a close range.
The four-eyed centipede screamed in pain, and its shrill voice nearly tore Darko's eardrum, and the centipede's left knife foot pierced Darko's frost armor again. The frost armor finally turned into an elemental and disappeared during this attack, and at the same time, Darko regained his mobility, rolling on the spot to dodge the centipede's attack. Darko's own mental power is also extremely strong, and mental control can't work with him for a long time, which also makes the four-eyed centipede misjudge, and once it misses it, it will have no chance.
A square ice cage sealed most of the four-eyed centipede's body and could not move. Darko took the opportunity to raise his wand and cast spells to cast blood-red ice moons, specifically attacking the injured parts of the centipede's body, and the originally huge body was almost broken in two under Darko's repeated attacks.
The four-eyed centipede's physical strength was not strong, it was a little weaker than the other fourth-order demonic beasts, and it writhed for a long time before breaking the ice cage into ice slag. After breaking free, he immediately retreated backwards, and at the same time, a white light flashed in his body, which was the magic in his body that was at work and began to heal his wounds. Water-based gifted magical beasts usually have a little self-healing spell, which is similar to hydrotherapy, and it seems that this four-eyed centipede is about to escape.
How could Darko tolerate it escaping, seeing that the four-eyed centipede was about to escape, he had already torn open a scroll, and a wind scythe slashed fiercely at the wound of the four-eyed centipede, almost cutting the four-eyed centipede into two pieces, followed by multiple ice moon attacks at the wound.
This attack actually cut the four-eyed centipede in two from the middle. Even its natural magic couldn't be repaired, and the two stumps of the four-eyed centipede writhed wildly on the ground, one of which hit Darko who was chasing him, causing him to spit out blood and fly out.
Wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth, Darko's wand was raised, and after a while, a tornado swept through the canyon, and the four-eyed centipede screamed and curled up in a ball and stopped moving. Only then was Darko able to catch his breath, and although he killed the four-eyed centipede, it was not easy. He used almost all means in this battle, and he was slightly injured before he killed the four-eyed centipede.
Darko sat on the ground panting for a while, and quickly used magic power to repel the poison in meditation, this time the main reason why he fought so hard was that the speed and agility of the four-eyed centipede were just enough to restrain the magician, and the fact that he was in the poisonous fog made it difficult for the magician to exert his advantages. Distance is of great significance to the mage's battle, and the agile monster and the poisonous mist just happened to restrain this weakness of the mage, if it weren't for the fact that Dakko had a magic scroll that could be used to quickly launch defensive spells, I am afraid it would have become the dinner of these four-eyed centipedes. Thinking of this, Darko was even more determined in his plan, he must rush out of this poisonous fog valley at any cost, so that he would have the capital to fight VitB12.
After meditating, Darko stepped forward to look at the corpse of the four-eyed centipede, he took out a dagger from the spatial ring, and dug out a crystal nucleus from the centipede's head. After thinking about it, he cut off the pair of knife feet again, put them in the space ring together, and then continued to hurry.
Five days have passed in the blink of an eye, and Darko is still trudging through the valley of poisonous fog, and in the past few days he has encountered all kinds of magical beasts, such as the stinging scorpion that shoots poisonous stingers, the red-eyed gull that flies through the air, the poisonous frog that sticks out its tongue and is corrosive, the chameleon that blends into the environment in terms of body temperature and color, and the large-billed flower disguised as a stone waiting for its prey to step on...... These monsters have caused a lot of trouble to Dakko, and in the face of these uninvited guests, some Dakko can beat them, some can run away, and some can prevent them.
Although those demonic beasts were troublesome, they were not the most worrying to Darko, what bothered him the most was the poisonous fog in this canyon. Despite the poison and anti-glyphs, Darko still felt that his physical condition was getting worse and worse, as if his muscles were gradually atrophying. After all, the ingredients contained in this yellow-green poisonous mist are relatively complex, although Dakko relied on poison anti-glyphs and magic power to expel all the poisons from the surface, but there are also some components that dissolve into various organs of his body. Darko even thinks that now he can poison a rabbit with a little blood.
On top of that, the presence of the tracer also upset Darko, as it kept him in a passive position. Darko tried to refill his mana again and again, but it still didn't work, if it was normal, Dakko might try the method of mana overdraft, but it was too dangerous in the Jedi, and it probably didn't work. Instead, the blue-green dots of light were found in the excrement, and Dakko knew that the tracer could be excreted. It's just that this process is too slow, and only a few light spots can be discharged at a time, but the number of light spots in his body is as high as hundreds.
Under such circumstances, Darko's heart was extremely depressed, and he could be crushed at any time, and the desperate rush every day became a relief that left him with no time to think about those problems.
The light in the yellow-green poisonous mist gradually weakened, and Darko knew that this was the coming of darkness, and the valley of poisonous fog after the darkness descended would be even more dangerous, and if he used illumination, he would inevitably be besieged by demonic beasts, which was equivalent to looking for death. Darko sighed, it looks like he won't be able to get out of the Poison Mist Valley today, and he doesn't know how long this damn canyon is.
At this moment, Darko suddenly felt that his eyesight seemed to have improved, and he was immediately stunned. After five days of traveling, he clearly knew that the visibility in the poisonous fog was only three meters at most, but now it had increased significantly, about three and a half meters, so Darko felt that his eyesight had improved. The increased visibility meant that the density of the poisonous fog had decreased, and thinking of this, Darko immediately perked up and sped up to the front.
Sure enough, as Daktronics advanced, visibility gradually increased until the towering rock walls on either side of the canyon could be clearly seen. Then Dark's eyes lit up, and the scene ahead was no longer obstructed, and the poisonous fog completely disappeared. The blue sky, the green woods, the brown-red soil, the dusk sunset, everything that had been lost for a long time finally appeared in Daktro's career again, and his mood became beautiful.
Dakko walked briskly into the woods, breathing deeply in the fresh air of the forest, feeling like he had ushered in a new life. Although he only spent five days in the Valley of the Poisonous Mist, Darko didn't know when he would come to an end, and only those who had experienced it would experience the despair of being in a Jedi.
Darko shouted happily in the woods, and scolded VitB12 a few more times, feeling that all the depression in his heart was vented. Darko decided to treat himself to dinner by catching a few critters before dark, and Darko hadn't eaten fresh game for more than four months since he entered the Adamantite Prison.
Darko spread his mental power and went into the jungle to search for his dinner, and soon found two pheasants and three squirrels. He was thinking about how to catch all five small animals, when suddenly the dinner disappeared in his mental perception, so abruptly that Darko thought he was dizzy.
Darko soon discovered that it was not only the five small animals that had disappeared, but the entire jungle in front of him had changed. It was still a jungle, and there were still a lot of small animals in it, but it was completely different from the jungle just now, and it was replaced by another jungle in an instant.
Darko's heart sank suddenly, he finally knew what this place was, and all his doubts about the Poison Mist Valley were solved. The Valley of the Poison Mist is a canyon, and it has only one entrance, and the reason is that the other exit is here.
This is the famous one of the three Jedi in the Mercury plane, the jungle labyrinth!
