The nest passages of the mutant scorpion are not the kind of smooth passage land, most of them correspond to the body characteristics of the mutant scorpion itself, showing a rugged path with potholes.

"It's hard for them to get in." Zhao Xu commented.

He is blessed with the "Divine Steps" of long-lasting perfect mobility, and he can also rely on perfect mobility to maneuver and move with the power of flight in these difficult passages.

It's just that Vivien, who is wearing heavy full-body armor, is showing limitations at this moment, even if her heavy armor is mixed with Mithril and is much lighter, it is still difficult to climb in the corridor.

After trying a few times, she directly used her transformation ability to make the original succubus wings grow out from her back, and began to flutter and flutter like Zhao Xu.

Succubi have the ability to fly in their own right.

At this moment, Zhao Xu also noticed that the wings that were displayed behind Vivian were not the ugly wings of the demon clan like bats that he had seen.

It seems to be made of energy convergence, appearing as a dark purple particle aperture, and the light and shadow effect is pleasing to the eye.

Thinking that the other party was a secret container created by Cangye, perhaps it was different from an ordinary succubus, and Zhao Xu didn't ask too much.

During the flight together, there was no sign of the mutant scorpion, as if it was an empty nest.

"We might go through another entrance." Zhao Xu analyzed.

From the moment he first came in, he had been flying for at least half an hour.

Those adventurers who snatch treasure chests will definitely have to spend more time without flying skills in their lair, and they can't make a two-hour round trip at all.

Even on the way to escape in the lair, he was intercepted and killed a long time ago.

"The monster's own nest will have several exits, even if it is a nest of insects without intelligence." Vivien added.

This means that they are not on the same path as those who take risks.

Because Zhao Xu used the item positioning technique to locate the straight-line distance, plus their own search for the entrance to the nest was also offset by hundreds of meters, and at the same time, the underground passage was crooked, it was completely possible to be a road farther away from the treasure hidden in the nest.

Vivien's flight was already tired from the heavy full-body armor she was carrying, even if it was doped with Mithril to reduce her weight.

This is also the norm for everyone to go on adventures, and all kinds of physical strength, eating, breathing, sleeping, and the comfort level of the load on the body need to be taken into account.

Unless it is a child of a great nobleman, with a dimensional bag on his body to reduce the load, and an Ain Stone that does not breathe and an Ain Stone that does not eat and drink on his head.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Vivian, who was passing at a low altitude after entering a flat area, stopped her flight speed, and the whole person was stuck in the air to observe below.

It was a deeply dug pit, and the edge of the mouth of the pit was polished quite smooth, making it difficult to climb.

The cavern was filled with corpses of all kinds.

Judging from the backbone, it is barely possible to distinguish that most of them are ferocious animals, and some of them have leg bones that are even taller than humans.

But Zhao Xu, who blessed the dark vision, also distinguished the heads of many humans, and even halflings and dwarves.

"It's kind of weird." Vivien frowned.

Looking at this scene, she directly pulled out her original Holy Avenger, and the killing intent began to be revealed.

"Nope."

Zhao Xu explained, "Giant nature can be swallowed and digested whole, but those small and medium-sized ones cannot be swallowed whole, and these bones will be left." ”

His tone was slightly cold, but also a little cold.

In the past, Zhao Xu was on the way to adventure, most of them were carried out on the surface and in towns, and basically rarely entered the lair of this kind of monster.

However, he had explored similar places in his previous life, and had seen many of these craters for corpses, which were leftover food scraps from the monsters.

From the time the humans of Earth had mastered weapons and tools and could make fires, they occupied the top of the food chain on the planet, brutally exterminating all kinds of large animals.

Like Zhao Xu, they can't see mammoths in the zoo today, it's because they have long been eaten by ancient earth humans.

However, for Arthur.

The original purpose of building towns was to form formations to defend themselves against monsters, and even villages outside various towns were rarely deserted.

Arthur's wilderness is really going to die.

Countless terrifying and powerful monsters roam the streets.

The mouth of the corpse pit in front of him was cruelly showing Zhao Xu the predatory results of the mutant scorpion.

Civilians who have no ability to protect themselves, even if they learn from ancient humans to hunt with javelins, they still can't defeat these monsters because of Arthur's environment, which has grown extremely tough and natural armor.

There's never a mistake that metals are the number one killer of proteins.

It's just that in Arthur, they encountered monsters with the same innate armor and damage reduction abilities, so that humans with human sea tactics were powerless to fight until they got the class level evolution.

"Let's keep walking." Zhao Xu said.

For the insects without intelligence, this is their food, and there is no point in him being angry.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Vivien let out a soft grunt, and immediately she looked into the shadow of a piece of rubble.

A small mutant scorpion that was not much different from what it saw in daily life was hiding in it, and it saw Zhao Xu and the others, although they didn't have any ability to think, their own survival instincts, and immediately drilled around the cracks in the loose soil.

The passage that the two of them flew through was the passage of medium, large, super-large and even giant mutant scorpions, and for these ultra-small and small mutant scorpions, they had their own unique small passages.

Zhao Xu entered this lair and did not put much effort into reconnaissance.

Because once a battle breaks out, it is basically fighting to the death against a steady stream of mutant scorpions in this lair.

That's why he needs to gain melee abilities that can last a long time.

Just when Vivian wanted to fly over and kill the small mutant scorpion, Zhao Xu directly manipulated the sword qi surrounded by the "Cloud of Blades" spell on his body.

In an instant, the invisible sword qi shot away.

The small mutant scorpion, which had already burrowed into the soft soil with a body of more than five centimeters wide, was cut off by the sword qi on the spot.

The seemingly hard scorpion armor couldn't stop the sharp slash derived from the arcane ability, and most of the mutant scorpion's body was left outside with the scorpion tail needle prick.

The incision is extremely smooth and flat, and only after it is completely separated does it slowly reveal the thick juice of the insect itself.

Ultra-small and small mutant scorpions, their health is basically not able to withstand such a blow from Zhao Xu.

And this random slashing knife qi, Zhao Xu can release it once per round, all day without interruption.

He's the equivalent of a crossbowman with a powerful attack on him, ready to shoot arrows at any moment, without any loss.

A small mutant scorpion with its own defense as high as Tier 14, and a Tier 1 warrior in the player may not be able to hit it even if it is slashed.

It is also his sword qi that is born with a 20th-order attack, so that he can cut scorpions like cutting melons.

No one can see it in the cold winter moon that is still a little stuffy, otherwise it will be extremely lamented that a two-ring spell can cause such power after a long time.

"President?" Vivian saw that Zhao Xu was a little in a daze, and couldn't help but ask.

"No, I just suddenly felt a leap of life energy." Zhao Xu explained.

Players are extremely skeptical that Arthur has experience points.

But Zhao Xu has been clear after this period of time.

Experience points in Arthur are an alternative kind of "life energy".

One of the necessary conditions for leveling up is to accumulate enough life energy before you can reach a new life level.

Basically, eating and drinking to understand one's own professional ability and accumulate, that is also accumulating life energy in disguise.

It's just that fighting monsters is the fastest way to accumulate.

However, simply fighting monsters has enough life energy, but it is only a necessary condition for completing the upgrade, and the "insight" of breaking through the barrier is still indispensable.

Therefore, among the players, the warrior class can accumulate life energy while fighting monsters, and at the same time fight monsters to gain breakthroughs in combat experience, so their level is promoted faster than that of mages.

Many times, 30 years old is the stage when a mage is just out of the mountains and adventures.

And 30 years old is also the age when a seventh- or eighth-level soldier is tired of fighting and is ready to return to his hometown to recuperate.

Zhao Xu just slashed so casually, and actually felt a trace of life energy floating from the mutant scorpion.

He was a little suspicious that it was the effect of the Death Godhead fragment on his body.

At this time, Lux had entered the critical stage of fusion, and he could no longer chat with him, and he could not find anyone to solve his doubts.

"Life energy? Jumping? Vivien's originally nervous expression relaxed a little.

"Lady Nights once told me that some gods are able to see the flow of life energy."

"Hmm."

Zhao Xu heard Vivian's words, but he didn't go any further.

At this moment, in front of him, there were no less than 100 medium-sized to small "mutant scorpions", which were crowding the corridor in front of him.

They were piled up like a hill in front of them like drill bits, and they were constantly wriggling with each other.

The scorpion's eyes were as bright as pale yellow glass beads, staring at them in unison.

Ants bite elephants to death, and when the defense is insufficient, it is Arthur's way of defeating the strong with the weak in battle.

The mutant scorpions shook their two claws as they wagged their tail stingers, ready to strike at the two of them.

It's just that Zhao Xu was not the slightest nervous, but looked at everything in front of him with interest.

It's a pity that there are too few.
