Chapter 2241: Dark Forest (5)

Arthur heard the sound of insects coming from the giant death scorpion, and instantly his hair stood on end.

It's not because of how strong his opponent is, or because he's afraid of the deadly venom, it's just that humans themselves have a primal fear of bugs, and they find this carapace-ridden, hairy, spiky monster disgusting. And the big bug was looking at Arthur with its eight compound eyes without blinking, and the green compound eyes that glowed in the dark instantly doubled the scorpion's nausea!

"Be careful!" he instructed Bediville as he stepped back, back into the narrow hallway. The room wasn't too big, and with something as big as a death scorpion getting in the way, the space to dodge wasn't much bigger than the hallway. And in the room, you have to be careful to guard against the unusually large number of three scorpion tails of the Death Scorpion, and if it does a 360-degree rotation and flick, that kind of attack will be difficult to dodge.

"Hey, hey!" Bediwell was depressed to see Arthur hiding behind him, and the Death Scorpion pressing towards them, menacing. And Bediwell is also more afraid of insects, and when he saw Arthur retreating, he also began to retreat strategically, in short, he didn't want to fight the death scorpion in the narrow room!

However------

The big and weak door is really the truth, and the poisonous scorpion is blocked at the entrance of the corridor and can't get through.

"Uh. Bediwell looked at the desperate squeeze in front of him, but he didn't want to get stuck with his huge body and two large scorpion pincers, it was a death scorpion that couldn't get through. Although it could not enter the corridor, it still waved its scorpion tail frantically, thinking that if the tail was extended, it would sting Arthur and Bediwell who were hiding in the corridor.

Of course, the two of them had already retreated to a distance where the tail of the poisonous scorpion could not interfere, and watched the performance of the poisonous scorpion as if watching a play.

But they couldn't get through it, and the only way forward was blocked by a huge poisonous scorpion.

"Do something, Bedi!" Arthur said.

"There's nothing you can do over there?" snorted the big white wolf, "throw a throwing knife or something." ＂

"That guy's shell is so thick------" Arthur casually threw the Vampire Hunter's Demon Breaker Throwing Knife, albeit only with one shot. The sharp knife slammed into the hard shell of the monster, but to no avail.

"That guy's shell is so thick, throwing knives are useless. After the test, Arthur replied in the affirmative.

Of course, he could try to avoid the hard part of the carapace of the Death Scorpion and start at the weak point. However, it requires very precise throwing skills, and the death scorpion is not beaten standing still, and the throwing knife flies head-on and it doesn't know how to swing the scorpion pincer to block. All in all, throwing knives in this situation, in this kind of terrain, is useless.

"Tsk. I'll try this------" Bediwell thought for a moment and finally took a deep breath: "Phew------"

I don't know if it's a kind of man-wolf magic, or breath, or something else. The breath that the big white wolf blew out was accompanied by a deep cold that pierced through the bones, like the frost breath of January. The freezing air blew head-on on the death scorpion, and the huge scorpion instantly formed snow-white frost residue all over its body.

It was only then that Arthur remembered that Bediwell was a human wolf, a member of the high-level demon race. It's not surprising that he would use this kind of magic, but Bedeville has been keeping his tricks warm and not using them. Considering that they are currently deep in the enemy formation, and their every move may be secretly monitored by the opponent, Bediwell took out the trump card so early, and the loss was very large.

After a burst of breathing, the frosty scorpion began to move slowly, and it felt a little unable to walk.

"It's now!" Bediwell shouted.

Arthur didn't hesitate too much, and another Demon Breaking Knife in his hand had already been thrown. Since the Death Scorpion was frozen slowly, it basically didn't move much, but this time Arthur's throwing knife was much better, and the knife hit one of the compound eyes of the scorpion's head without difficulty. The thing was frozen and moved slowly, and its body stiffened, and it didn't struggle much even after being hit by a throwing knife.

Arthur endured a huge nausea and rushed forward, and before being touched by the scorpion's scorpion pincers and stingers, he gave his opponent a flying kick, and the kick just hit the hilt of the knife pierced in the scorpion's eye, so the flying knife was affected by the force of this flying kick, and pierced deeper into the scorpion's head!

Insects can almost be said to have no brains, but are controlled by a group of things similar to cranial ganglia in the body, and because the steps of the cranial ganglion are relatively scattered, it is not the same as the concept of the head in common sense, and it is not the degree to which an insect can be killed instantly by stabbing the head. The flying knife that pierced deep into it can only be said to damage the cranial ganglia of the Death Scorpion, but it can't directly stop it from moving, and it can struggle for a long time before it dies!

Arthur noticed this, too, so he jumped back immediately after the kick to dodge a wave of attacks. Fortunately, the death scorpion was still in a frozen state, and its movement was extremely slow, and its counterattack after being injured was not violent, giving Arthur a lot of room to dodge. The blonde boy then dodged the scorpion's tail spur, twisted to dodge the oncoming scorpion pincers, and then dodged directly in front of the death scorpion.

The monster's movements are still slow (the insect is wrapped in a hard shell, and the inside is almost full of bodily fluids, and it is not easy to rise back when the temperature drops), and it tries to bite Arthur's neck with its jaws, but the boy rushes to attack it first. The Seraphic Sword in Arthur's hand effortlessly stabbed into the monster's mouthparts, piercing the nerve of the Death Scorpion from another angle. Unlike throwing knives, the Seraphic Sword is a lightsaber, and as long as the lightsaber penetrates the enemy's body, it can continue to cause slashing and burning damage like a chainsaw, and its penetration ability and sustained lethality are extremely high.

Arthur stabbed the monster in the head with a sword, and immediately pulled his backhand and continued to drag the blade of the lightsaber to the side, so as to expand the wound and accelerate the death of the death scorpion! But in melee combat, he used a slight shake to avoid the enemy's attack, which is Arthur's forte, I saw him gently twist his upper body to the left and right, and easily avoided the death scorpion's tail spur triple attack, and also pulled back the Seraphic Holy Sword while retreating! The process of pulling back the lightsaber was also the process of sawing the enemy's head, and the damage caused to the death scorpion was extremely huge. When Arthur took a step back and retreated to a safe position, most of the head of the death scorpion on the opposite side had been cracked, and the severed half of the scorpion's head continued to melt green viscous disgusting juice, and it was barely connected by some flexible tissues and carapace fragments, and it didn't fall off!

"Beddy?" Arthur snorted again.

Needless to say, Beddeville and Arthur have worked together for a long time, and they have long had a tacit understanding and know what the Knight King wants him to do. Once again, the Great White Wolf stepped forward to highlight the Frost Breath and spat at the Death Scorpion's severed head. The first frost breath only stayed on the carapace on the surface of the Death Scorpion, and although it could delay the Death Scorpion's movement, it didn't actually cause much damage. But now Arthur has split the monster's brain in half, without the protection of the carapace, the second frost breath can be said to have gone directly to the monster's brain nerves, and the deep cold invaded and occupied the monster's brain in an instant!

The huge bug, which had been struggling so badly, was suddenly sluggish and motionless as if it had been sedated.

Arthur casually threw out a third Demon Breaker Throwing Knife, needless to say, this one of course smashed into the cracked head of the frozen Death Scorpion. The impact of the flying knife instantly smashed the monster's head to pieces, and the body of the big insect began to disintegrate, turning into countless frozen hard lumps scattered all over the ground!

"Tsk. Arthur stepped forward and kicked away the corpse of the Death Scorpion a few times, clearing a way forward. The big bug that wasn't frozen was so disgusting that Arthur didn't want to touch it. But the fragments of the death scorpion frozen into popsicles didn't seem to be as disgusting as they used to be, and Arthur was still okay with that.

"There was a lot of movement in this battle, and I just hope it doesn't alert the entire cave. He said.

"It's okay, after all, freeze it up and kill it. Bedwell replied, walking past the Death Scorpion broken into countless pieces with Arthur, and finally passing through the small room: "Then again, it is really a clever arrangement of troops, if it were an ordinary intruder, he would have died by this time." ＂

Arthur did not answer. He knew from the beginning that this operation would not be easy. The front of the cave is a dead place with many traps and ambushes, and the most hidden escape exits of the cave are also arranged with such powerful monsters in case of danger. The witch hiding in this cave is really thoughtful, and she can drive hordes of wolves and such powerful death scorpions as her demons, this witch is really not simple.

Do you make demons? Arthur suddenly thought of something.

The witch is supposed to have used some kind of hypnotism to control these creatures, and since it is [magic], it can be easily cracked with the [spellbreaker] of the holy sword in Arthur's hand, so that these controlled animals are no longer loyal to the witch. Why didn't he use this in the first place? He couldn't help but curse himself.

That's fine. The enemy they are currently encountering, although dangerous, is not a formidable enemy that Arthur and Bedeville cannot deal with. It is not necessary to use [Spellbreaker] to fight these animals, it is enough to kill them directly by force. Like Bedeville's Frost Breath, [Spellbreaker] should be warmed up first. Maybe when facing the witch, at the most critical moment, [the spellbreaker] can surprise her?

With that in mind, Arthur pushed open the rotten wooden door in front of him and walked deeper into the labyrinth of the cavern.

They finally came to a relatively open place, and in front of them was a huge cave. However, the cave was large and deep, and when you looked down, you could see a bottomless abyss of black pressure, and to reach the bottom of the abyss, you had to pass through a series of crumbling wooden drawbridges built out of the protruding rocks around the cave.

Arthur swallowed again.
