Chapter 70: Spike
Wailing Cave)
Chen Zhuo and Bonnie were chatting in front of the bonfire, a faint light in the distance came from far to near, Chen Zhuo stood up vigilantly, and when the light got closer and closer, Chen Zhuo saw that it was Marcus and Riston who were back, Marcus was holding a glowing plant in his hand, Chen Zhuo hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Hey, Marcus, what are you taking here?" That monster? ”
"Ha, Chen, I found two soft mud monsters on the way over there, and after killing them, I dropped two essences, and then I was discovered by this monster, and the skills were a little difficult to use at that time, but it wasn't difficult to deal with, after killing this thing, I found that this thing was also a plant, and the dead wood seemed to be able to make a fire, so I dragged it back and tried it."
"Oh, okay, I'll carry it for you." Chen Zhuo said and helped Marcus lift the monster corpse, and when he returned to the campfire, he found Bonnie in the tent, and said to Chen Zhuo, "Master, Naxi is awake." ”
"Oh?" Marcus handed over the body to Chen Zhuo, and then ran over, Bonnie got out of the way and came over to help Chen Zhuo clean up the body, Marcus took out a glass bottle from his bag and asked Naxi, "How is Naxi, is there any discomfort?" ”
"Thanks, I have a bit of a headache, that, what about Charles?"
"Charles is also a little injured, you can drink this clarifying water, maybe it will be better."
"Thank you, Marcus." Naxi took the bottle, Marcus walked out of the tent, saw that Chen Zhuo had already started to use the monster corpse to make a fire, and stepped forward and asked, "How about Chen, this monster can make a fire, right?" ”
"Yes, and I feel that the lighting range of the campfire has been expanded, and I guess it will burn for a long time."
"Yes." Marcus estimated the time and said, "We may have to spend the night in wailing tonight, we need to fight some monsters to get ready." ”
Naxi walked out of the tent at this time, and Chen Zhuo asked with concern: "How is Naxi, is it uncomfortable?" ”
"No, thank you, I feel better, I didn't pay attention to being attacked by an enemy at the time, I was drugged, and now what about that enemy? Killed by you? What is it? ”
Marcus recounted what happened to Naxi, but did not say anything about Bonnie, and after learning that the ghost had been seriously injured by Chen Zhuo, Naxi also breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "When did Charles fall asleep?" ”
"Uh, asleep?" Chen Zhuo asked in surprise.
"yes, Charles usually falls asleep and that's it."
"Okay, you still know him, I thought he was in a coma after a mental attack, it turned out that he was asleep, and it seems that it was also a false alarm."
"Oh, he's been attacked by a spirit, no wonder he's sleeping so dead, I'll go see him again."
"Eh, Naxi, wait a minute."
"Huh? What's up? ”
"Chen and I are going to pick up some plants and come back to burn, can you take care of Charles?"
"Okay, you guys pay attention to safety, where is this in the cave, it feels so dark, is this downstream?" Naxi asked, looking at the river.
"That's right, this is downstream, there is a winding road on the inner mountain in front, I don't know where it leads, it's really much darker than the place I just came in."
Chen Zhuo and Marcus took Bonnie and Riston to set up and started the "wood-chopping" operation, Marcus suddenly remembered something, and took out two wailing essences to Chen Zhuo: "By the way, I forgot to give this to you just now." ”
Chen Zhuo took it, put it in his waist bag, and said, "It just so happens that I also have four here, which means that we are still four short of completing the task." ”
"Well, on the way to 'chop wood', we will look for any soft mud monsters by the way, and if there is, we will be done with the fight."
Mutated climbing vine monster, 1st rank, 1 attack and 9 blood. The vines glow and carry toxins.
A mutated man-eating vine monster, Tier 2, 15 blood, vines with sharp thorns, which can pierce the skin of creatures to absorb blood and restore health.
A mutated man-eating flower monster, 1st rank, 1 attack and 10 blood, unable to move, secreting deadly acid.
The mutated plants alone did not pose a threat, but they were generally clustered together, especially the climbing vines, where 5 or 6 vines were tied together and scattered in all directions, so that Chen Zhuo did not have the direction to launch an attack in a hurry. Marcus smiled when he saw it, and said, "Chen, don't look at them mutated, but they are still plants after all, don't you know fire magic?" Isn't it just right to burn them when they get together? ”
"But aren't we going to take it back to make firewood? Wouldn't it be a waste to burn it now? ”
"Well...... Makes sense, but this one is stuck in the middle of the road, so it's hard to pass, but it's moving slowly, and we can kite it remotely. Marcus said and summoned a ** out, and shot at the climbing vine, and the frightened and injured vines crawled towards Chen Zhuo, Chen Zhuo looked at these tentacles goosebumps, rubbed a star surge technique and hit it, feeling that there was no blood, Marcus fired another shot to knock out a vine. Marcus said: "Chen, my gun is still 2 points durable, get ready for melee combat." ”
Chen Zhuo took out his short sword after hearing this, Bonnie twisted his ankle beside him, Marcus summoned two daggers after the last shot, Chen Zhuo asked on the side, "Why do you have so many weapons?" ”
"Ha, I'm okay with this, general weapon warfare, shooting hunting, and stalkers always have 20 weapons with different attributes, and I don't have 10 now, okay Chen, they're coming up, and the four of us will act separately." Marcus took the brunt of the attack after speaking, Chen Zhuo did not lag much behind, Bonnie and Riston saw that their master launched an attack and followed, the two daggers were not stunned at all in the face of the ensuing vines, the sharp dagger cut through the vines, and the vines that lost their support fell straight to the ground, which aroused the fighting spirit of the vines even more, followed by more tentacles, Marcus was in danger, the two daggers turned from attack to defense, dialing, blocking, stabbing, and cutting the use of the most vivid, and the broken vines on the ground became more for a while.
On the other hand, Chen Zhuo is very passive here, Chen Zhuo, who only has a short sword, is better in the face of a vine, a little more is in a hurry, a sun-breaking blow is also empty, this is also the first time Chen Zhuo has been empty, after hitting the target with all his strength, Chen Zhuo's right hand was almost dislocated, Bonnie felt Chen Zhuo's passivity, and flashed to Chen Zhuo's side with a few jumps, and the vines that didn't open their eyes were crushed by Bonnie's feet, Chen Zhuo was accidentally pumped by the vines a few times, and one came directly to Chen Zhuo's face, If it weren't for Chen Zhuo's timely dodge, he would have broken his appearance, but he still left a blood mark on his face.
Overall, the vine's ability to resist is getting lower and lower, and Riston seizes the opportunity to bite the vine's rhizome and successfully subdues one vine monster after another. Many of the vines had been destroyed in the fighting, but the plants were enough to burn for tonight.
Marcus took out the rope and tied the vine so that it could be lifted. Chen Zhuo felt that something was wrong, and suddenly said, "Strange, why haven't I left the war yet?" After saying that, he immediately checked his health: 26/50. In the Wailing Cave, Chen Zhuo had not been full of blood since he experienced that drowning, and Marcus suddenly realized the problem, and immediately passed on the message to Riston, looking around, but did not find any danger at all. Suddenly Riston yelled at the sky, and when the three of them didn't react, a white shadow rushed towards Marcus, and the Savior of Riston jumped up directly and pounced on the white shadow, Chen Zhuo looked at it and knew that it was the butterfly demon, and quickly waved his sword to drive away, the butterfly demon found that the sneak attack was not successful and immediately retreated, and at the same time another butterfly demon appeared, and the two butterfly demons approached together, preparing for the next attack.
"Damn, it's got help!" Chen Zhuo said fiercely while helping Marcus up. This butterfly demon is the culprit who has caused his health to not go up, and now Chen Zhuo has the heart to break the butterfly demon into thousands of pieces, "Bonnie! ”
Chen Zhuo gave Bonnie two magic crystals, and while feeling the energy, Bonnie happily approached Chen Zhuo, aiming at the blood on Chen Zhuo's face and kissing it, Marcus saw it on the side, coughed twice and said, "Ahem, Chen, should we think about how to meet the enemy first?" ”
At this time, Chen Zhuo's face was numb, and he couldn't open his mouth if he wanted to answer. Marcus next to him was surprised to find that Bonnie's wings began to expand, feeling that Bonnie was undergoing a qualitative change, but he couldn't see where Bonnie had changed, until Bonnie finished "eating", stretched out his tongue and licked Chen Zhuo's face, Chen Zhuo regained consciousness, a blood whip condensed in Bonnie's hand, Bonnie who turned around exuded blood, and her horns became sharper, feeling that every place on Bonnie's body was now a weapon, and this kind of Bonnie was enough to scare Marcus, Chen Zhuo rubbed his face, He said, "Marcus, this is Bonnie's battle form, the triggering mechanism...... It's complicated and hard to explain. ”
Bonnie didn't wait for Chen Zhuo to finish speaking, she held the blood whip and faced the two butterfly demons without any fear, Marcus hurriedly said: "No, Bonnie be careful, they are in the air, can they ...... Can you fly? ”
"Of course Bonnie can't fly!" Chen Zhuo himself was taken aback, but it was not because Bonnie rushed up to be surprised, but this time Chen Zhuo was able to sense Bonnie's spiritual call, Chen Zhuo followed Bonnie and rushed up, although he didn't know what Bonnie was going to do, but since Bonnie asked for this, there must be a reason for her. Bonnie suddenly ran to the edge of the mountain path and jumped high, swinging the blood whip into the air, since the whip would not reach the butterfly demon's location, the butterfly demon was not on guard, but prepared to attack. Something unexpected happened to the butterfly demon, the blood whip split into two, and turned into two blood ropes and suddenly stretched, grabbed the two butterfly demons and then fell down fiercely, one fell in front of Chen Zhuo, Chen Zhuo rushed to directly step on the butterfly demon's wings and stabbed the sword fiercely at the butterfly demon. The other one was even more miserable, because Bonnie jumped into the air outside the mountain road, about 5 meters above the ground, Bonnie grabbed the butterfly demon and stuffed it at the bottom of her feet, squatting down. Directly used the butterfly demon as a shock absorber under his feet, and the pressure of the high-heeled boots directly killed the butterfly demon in one blow, and it was a tragic death, Bonnie rolled out of the butterfly demon's corpse in an elegant rolling posture, and Chen Zhuo also killed the butterfly demon under his feet, Marcus was stunned and looked at Chen Zhuo's "second kill action", opening a big mouth that was even more exaggerated than Luffy, and was speechless for a while.
Seeing that the two butterfly demons had been killed, Bonnie suddenly shouted to Chen Zhuo below: "Master, don't leave the battle yet!" ”
"Huh?" In between, the blood whip in Bonnie's hand changed its form again, turning into a blood-red grab rope, and threw it towards Chen Zhuo, Chen Zhuo caught the rope and pulled it with his hand, Bonnie jumped with the momentum, and gently jumped up the 5-meter-high mountain road. Bonnie turned back into the charming and bewitching Bonnie, and stuck out her tongue at Chen Zhuo: "Master, Bonnie is too lazy to walk." ”
Chen Zhuo said in surprise after the battle: "Can you still use this blood whip like this?" It's amazing, how did you communicate with me just now? Why can't you feel it now? ”、
"Master, Bonnie doesn't know, maybe Bonnie sucked it just now."
"Go! Messing around again! Chen Zhuo turned around and saw Marcus looking at himself and Bonnie in a daze, coughing, Marcus came back to his senses, and didn't know what to say. Chen Zhuo scratched his head and said, "Why don't we get this vine back first?" ”
Marcus hurriedly said, "Yes! Well said, let's lift it up together, it should be much more convenient to go back. ”
