The centipede cave is located about three hundred miles northwest of Tucheng, and the post station has a carriage that goes directly there, but in order to facilitate the journey, we still bought five war horses to travel towards the centipede cave, unlike ordinary civilians, it is easier for rangers to make money, so it is not very difficult to raise horses to travel, unless those who have just debuted are novices, it is another matter. The road is galloping, but there are not a few of us on the way to the centipede cave, and there are more than two hundred horses before and after, after all, the centipede cave is a more suitable place for cultivation around the earth city, and most of the rangers choose to practice their martial arts in the centipede cave, and at the same time do some tasks to maintain expenses or something.

After about four hours of running, I saw in the distance a rolling mountain range much higher than the ground, zigzag all the way to the end of the sky, where the centipede cave was located! After another half an hour of running, we reached the foot of the mountains, and in the distance, on the left and right sides were large meadows, thousands of war horses were wandering leisurely on the open meadows, and twenty meters in front of us was a large courtyard like a house surrounded by wooden stakes, in which there were many rangers in armor and knives, sitting and drinking tea and chatting.

This is the Fangcao Ranch under the Centipede Cave Mountain, which is a convenient place for the rangers who practice in the Centipede Cave, saying that it is a ranch, but in fact, it is also an inn, and grocery store, pharmacy business, because this is the closest to the centipede cave can be settled, and therefore the business here is surprisingly hot, I have to say that the owner who chooses to operate a ranch and a pharmacy inn and grocery store here is really discerning.

During the endless flow of people, there are those who go up and those who go down. It can be seen that there are many, many people who go up the mountain to cultivate. And we also leave our horses on the pasture. Subsequently, Bian went up the mountain with the flow of people. This moment reminds me of the legendary Centipede Cave leveling army.

"That!" I hesitated, but I couldn't help but ask the doubt in my heart: "There are so many people, is the mutant creature in the centipede cave enough to kill!"

"Don't worry!" Long Qi said with a smile: "The situation here is different from the Skull Cave! In order to make this place a suitable place for cultivation, the Ranger Guild has improved this place more than a thousand years ago and set up a female insect formation! Moreover, the special terrain and magical elements of the Centipede Cave are the most suitable environment for the growth of these mutant creatures, and the mutant creatures here will appear in every corner of the cave in no matter how many people they are born and grow into mature bodies, even if they come to kill them. ”

"Of course, it's hard to say if it's all guys like you!" Long Zhan added subconsciously.

"I see!" I was a little surprised: "What kind of thing is this female worm array, which can actually create such a large number of mutant creatures!"

"The so-called female insect array is actually some special magic array, which uses the characteristics of dark magic to change the growth form of living beings. Long Qi explained: "Actually, the mutated creatures in the centipede cave are ordinary creatures in their original form, but because of the influence of the dark magic of the female insect array, their body shape has mutated, and in the end, they have grown many times larger than normal. ”

Could it be a genetic mutation caused by radiation or something?

After listening to Long Qi's introduction, I immediately thought of the fragments of genetic mutations in the current science fiction stories, and at the same time I was a little worried: "Then will it affect us if we stay in it for a long time!"

"Don't worry!" Jin Hong continued: "The dark magic of the Mother Worm Array is only effective against insects or small reptiles, and it will not do any harm to people, after all, this has been summarized through more than a thousand years of experiments. ”

................ "I was stunned, God, the biotechnology in this world is too developed: "This female insect array, so powerful!"

"It's really a defeat for you!" Long Xin continued, "As a ranger, I don't even know the most important trial holy place in the ranger world. ”

“.... Scold.... Huh...," I chuckled a little embarrassed.

"That's it!" Long Qi said, "You can think of the centipede hole as a beecomb or a reptilian nest or something, but the guys inside are much larger than their ancestors." Then you will understand how amazing the growth rate of the mutated creatures inside is!"

"Anyway, don't worry, too many people will kill all the monsters. Long Xin said: "It's time to understand." ”

Damn! It's better than the spawn system in the legend! I sighed to myself.

While talking, we came to a huge cave, and the entrance of the cave was already crowded with people. There were a lot of people coming in and out, and we didn't delay and walked straight in.

The cave was surprisingly large, the walls were wider than a football field, and most of the people were moving quickly towards it, and we and most of the people kept walking down the passage.

According to the Ranger Handbook, the centipede cave is divided into several levels, and the terrain is intricate, like a huge underground world. Along the open road, we kept following the fork in the road, and walked about a hundred meters inside, when we heard the rumbling sound of thunder and lightning and the sharp sound of metal colliding in front of us.

We walked curiously, in fact, this was also to gain experience, after all, we had only entered the centipede cave for the first time, and we also wanted to see how other rangers cultivated.

Turning the corner, we saw a group of rangers guarding a corner and fighting nervously with the surrounding monsters, and there were many similar combinations in this huge monster and other corners of the training ground. They should be about the same age as us, and the number of people is a group of ten, which is the maximum number of people that can be combined in a group.

"Looks like they're on a mission!" Long Qi analyzed.

"It's a good fit. Long Xin muttered to herself.

I haven't seen a group of 10 rangers. I'm also curious to know how they fought. Now that I have encountered nature, I have to take a good look.

The leader was a warrior, who should be around twenty years old, with blond hair and golden eyes, a tall build, standard mid-level warrior equipment, heavy armor and Shura without a helmet. On the left and right sides of him, also two mid-level warriors dressed as warriors, the trio stood in an isosceles triangle. Behind them were six girls in mage robes with a weapon of glaive, and behind the mage girls was a young boy dressed as an equally young Taoist. Among the ten, he is the most laid-back.

I saw that with an occasional wave of the demon in his hand, a huge golden light would be swung out, enclosing three warriors and six mages inside. His skeleton just stood silently at his side, as if it were acting as a guard.

The busiest in the field should be the three warriors, the three Shura keep chopping and chopping, all the evil maggots centipedes or jumping bees that break into their array, they will be cut into several pieces immediately, it can be said that there are no dead corpses, and it is miserable.

"It's a triangular killing array!" Long Zhan exclaimed, "It's amazing! It seems that the cooperation between these three warriors is very tacit!"

And at the moment!

Flutter!

Woo!

In the midst of the screams, a jumping bee was immediately dismembered on the spot. And the thunder and lightning of the six mage girls have led the three monsters to rush towards the corner, because the mage girls are hiding behind the three warriors, so those monster doors that try to attack the mage will only rush straight into the triangle killing array composed of three warriors, but in the end, they are greeted only by the ruthless slashing of the three warriors, and they don't even have time to react, so they die with a whimper.

Then there was the next wave of monsters that were rushed to the triangle killing array by the lightning of the mage girls, and they also died if they entered.

"Hehe! It's finally an eye-opener!" Long Qi smiled: "I only heard about the existence of the Triangle Killing Array in the Ranger story before, but now I have seen it with my own eyes!"

"It's a pity that we only have two warriors!" Long Zhan said with regret.

"Forget it!" Long Xin said disapprerovingly, "We have a better killing move, don't we!" Long Xin said that after subconsciously glancing at me, he took the lead and continued to move inside. And Jin Hong looked at me and Long Xin with an uncertain expression, as if she wanted to see something.

We continued to walk until we finally found another place where no one else was cultivating at all, but the density of monsters in this place was surprisingly high. Maybe it's because no one comes to cultivate.,It's always in a state of full monsters here.。

The open cavern was densely packed with a surprising number of hideous-looking mutated creatures, and the entire cavern was enveloped in a buzzing sound like a bee, like the buzz of countless bees. The sounds were made by a hopping bee that was about the size of a human and resembled a wasp.

There were also countless rustling sounds, but there were countless thick centipedes, wriggling back and forth, and the solid surface of the body was constantly rubbing against the hard ground, so that this strange sound was made.

The whole cave can be described in one word.

Noisy!

It's an irritating, noisy world, and there's a strong and strange smell around it, some like rotten meat that's been rotting for a long time, and it's also a very unpleasant smell.

And Long Xin, who had been prepared for a long time, took out a few helmets from the space package.

"Taoist helmets!" I was taken aback, looking at the helmets that looked like a cat's head.

"Hehe!" Long Xin said proudly: "Bring them all, so that these unpleasant smells can all disappear!"

Curious, I took the helmet and put it on my head.

I have to say that the design of the Taoist helmet is really good, the whole person's head is wrapped above the nose, leaving only the mouth part exposed, and when I cut my breath, the unpleasant smell also disappeared, not only that, after wearing the helmet, I obviously felt that the whole person's spirit was shocked, and it seemed that the buzzing sound of the outside world could no longer cause any interference to my mind.

"Hehe!" I curiously touched the two protruding ears on my head, "It's really a good thing."

"That's it. Long Xin said: "Six hundred gold coins a top, can it be bad." So, you'll have to cheer me up, we're all over budget now, and if we don't finish the task I took yesterday, I'm afraid we won't even have money for food. ”

"Okay! I see. "I know that I have to hurry to keep Long Xin shut up, otherwise she can exert a noise shockwave that is even more terrifying than Tang Seng, and this shockwave is impossible to resist even with the super defensive power of the Taoist helmet.

After putting on the helmet, we found a safe corner and tried to warm up first.

"Boss, bring one over first, let's get acquainted with it!"

"Well, look at me!" Long Xin casually smashed a thunderbolt on a centipede twenty meters away.

To be honest, this centipede is really big, and its appearance is the same as in the legend, and of course the same is true for those hopping bees, but it's been a long time since I've been in this world, and there's no fuss about all kinds of strange creatures or magic in this world.

The big centipede quickly rushed towards Long Xin, and the countless feet on both sides of its body were like the vibration of an electric shaver, shaking at an astonishing speed, and its body rushed in an S shape from left to right.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed to a place five meters in front of Long Xin.

"Roar!" Long Zhan stepped out with a stride, and slashed with the Shura battle axe in both hands.

With a bang, the centipede's body was cut squarely, and immediately brown blood splashed everywhere, and the injured centipede only twisted slightly, and its hideous mouthparts turned to Long Zhan to bite.

Hmph! Long Zhan took a slight sideways step, swept with one move, and the Shura battle axe swept on the centipede's thick bucket-like waist.

There was a sound of breaking the body, and a large hole was opened on the centipede's body again, but it was not dead, reddish-brown blood flowed out, and the air was filled with a fishy smell that made people a little dizzy and nauseous. And the back half of the centipede's thick body suddenly rolled up and swept towards the dragon battle.

Long Zhan could only take a slight sideways step and dodge again. After dodging the centipede's attack, he grabbed his body again and hit the opening with two axes in a row.

Woo!

With a scream, the centipede fell to the ground and was completely alive.

"Speed, strength, defense to be more balanced!" Long Qi analyzed.

"Yes!" I couldn't help but nod: "Boss, let me try!"

Touch!

Long Xin just nodded slightly, and another bolt of lightning smashed.

Woo!

The centipede, which was quickly hit, quickly rushed over. I took a stride and calculated the speed of the centipede's march and the timing of its strike. Finally the centipede came into range of my knife.

Roar!

The electric step is flushed out. The Hundred Battle Knife turned into an arc of light, and then disappeared in an instant.

There was only a slight sound, and the centipede froze, and then the front half of its body separated and fell to the ground.

It turns out that my body has been cut off with a single sword, and to be honest, its defense is not even as strong as that of a skeleton general, but its speed is much faster than that of a skeleton general, but in front of me, its speed advantage is useless.

"..........." Jin Hong looked at me dumbfounded, as if shocked by the way I attacked: "Okay--so fast!"

"It seems that killing centipedes with one knife is not a problem!" Long Qi said: "There is no problem at all in terms of speed!"

"En!" I nodded subconsciously, to be honest, my strength is not stronger than that of Long Zhan, but I can easily cut the centipede into two ends Relying on nothing more than the unique shape of the Hundred Battle Knife to bring the speed of chopping to the extreme, plus my own motor nerves are also known for their instantaneous burst speed, so I can easily cut off the centipede's body.

"Grandma's, why don't I practice swords!" Long Zhan looked at his axe with an unwilling face, and then looked at my hundred battle knives and sighed: "It's too fast!"

"Alright, let's try the worms and hopping bees again!" Long Xin continued, "The last is the black maggot!"

"Yes!" I nodded, and Long Xin quickly attracted another worm, but as a result, it was still cut in half by me, and then a jumping bee was also cut in half by me.

Jin Hong on the side was no longer surprised. Then everyone looked nervously at Zai He, the rapidly approaching maggot.

This black maggot, like a high-speed spinning tire, crashed into front of me in the blink of an eye. However, in terms of speed, I have absolute confidence, at this moment, the black maggot is in a state of attack and collision with the whole body, and there is no flaw in Zhou's body, and I don't know what to do with him, so I had to swing the knife and forcibly put it on its back.

A dazzling burst of lightning flint, the hundred battle knife cut out was like cutting on the steel plate, the powerful anti-shock force, so that the hundred battle knife in my hand almost got out of my hand and flew out, and the black maggot didn't seem to be harmed, and after a slight pause, it was another collision, crashing into me,

Roar! I swung my knife again with one step, slashing at the hard shell of the black maggot.

Almost exactly like before, my Hundred Battle Knife couldn't penetrate its shell at all. Instead, it was bounced off again. The black maggot seemed to have hit the hook, and after shaking me away, it was a bow again, turning its hard body, and crashing towards me at a rapid pace. Knocked me back several times in a row.

At this moment, Jin Hong on the side looked at me in disbelief, as if she didn't understand why I was being pressed and beaten by the black maggot.

Long Xin and the three of them had a solemn look on their faces: "It seems that there are still flaws in Xingchen's sword technique!" Long Qi analyzed" "For those opponents who are good at defense and have no weaknesses, it is difficult for Xingchen's sharp knife technique to play a fatal role!"

"En!" Long Zhan also nodded slightly in agreement: "It seems that if you want to quickly improve the efficiency of killing monsters, it is difficult to achieve it by relying solely on Xingchen's fast knife!"

"If only I could create a flaw for the stars that the black maggots would show when they attacked the stars. Long Qi analyzed.

"Do you mean to let the black maggot reveal its weakness?" Long Zhan wondered.

"Yes, this is the only way to create a chance for the stars to strike a fatal blow. Long Qi affirmed.

"But how to do it. "Long Zhandao.

"I think this shouldn't be difficult, as long as you hit the black maggot at the moment when the black maggot rushes up, then the black maggot will inevitably stop, and when it is ready to launch a second wave of attacks, it will inevitably make a stretching action, and this is where the flaw of the black maggot lies, I believe that with the speed of the stars, you will be able to grasp this short moment and kill the maggot with a knife." ”

"But that doesn't seem like a problem. Long Zhan hesitated: "It takes two processes, which will double the efficiency of killing monsters!." ”

"I wonder if you've forgotten that Xingchen's attacking sword qi can be stored and continuously released. Long Xin on the side reminded: "If you let Xingchen save the sword qi of attack and kill, it should be effective if it is specially used to deal with evil maggots!"

"Hehe!" Long Xin's reminder made me suddenly have an epiphany, grandma's, how could I forget that I still have a unique skill, thinking of doing it, I subconsciously started, accumulating attacking and killing sword qi. After a while, he felt the strong and abundant attacking sword qi in his body. Taking the opportunity, I released several successive attacking sword qi towards several black evil maggots that quickly wanted me to approach.

A few swishs, a few black maggots that rushed to half of it were attacked and killed on the spot The sword qi penetrated the thick body surface, and then hit the ground a few times like bursting blood balls, brown liquid, splashing everywhere.

This situation shook our hearts.

"It's amazing!" Long Zhan muttered to himself, "The hard armor of the black maggot can't defend against the penetrating attack of the attacking sword qi at all!"
