Chapter 219: The Scepter of the Earth - The Vein That Runs Through the Earth (10)
"Whoosh" Fei Yun hid in the dark cave and aimed for a long time, and finally pulled the trigger, and the arrows from the crossbow machine in his hand shot directly towards the fleshy pillar at the bottom of the big slug's erected eyes. To read the latest chapter, please lock in to Aishan's novel website biquge.info{}The pitch-black arrows only emit a glimmer of black light when they are above the guò bonfire, and the rest of the time they are completely merged into the darkness, like a thin dark thread.
But the pitch-black crossbow bolt was not caught by the big slug, and when the arrow of the crossbow was about to approach the other party, the originally erected pillar of flesh and the eyeballs suddenly retracted, and the sharp crossbow arrow did not even touch a trace of slime.
However, Fei Yun had long expected this situation, and he naturally knew which eyeballs could be retracted at will, so the trajectory of his second and third crossbow arrows was slightly offset when they were shot. As a result, the two crossbow arrows hit the slug's head very accurately, and pierced the opponent's body with a pop.
“-371!”” -453!” These two injuries of no more than five hundred made Fei Yun almost ashamed to find a crack to hide into, because it was just ordinary damage caused by pure strength. The critical wound that should have appeared near the head did not appear, and Fei Yun knew that it was because his attack did not penetrate too deep at all, but only made two eyes on the surface of the slug's skin.
But after seeing the damage, Chen Kai and they also have the motivation to continue fighting, after all, once the monster is damaged, then it is only a thin line away from being *dropped. As long as Chen Kai and the others don't make big mistakes, or are not unlucky enough to run into more monster reinforcements, then it is only a matter of time before they grind a slug to death.
It's just that Chen Kai and the others don't want to spend too much time on a slug, especially when the slug's rock armor is exhausted when the slug's force is lower than the impact, and now the slug is almost stripped of its armor and exposed in front of Chen Kai and them. Although the slimy slime and soft ** can still effectively slow down the impact, this defense against sharp weapons can be almost completely ignored.
At the same time, the slimy liquid on the whole body is also a natural conductor of electric current, which was immediately verified when Fei Yun's arrow hit the slug's body. Two colored and purple lightning bolts shot towards the slug's body from the same direction, and they only crossed two thin lines in the air before hitting the large slug's body, and then the two lightning bolts turned into electric currents scurrying around the slug's body, like tiny earthworms.
As the lightning bolts continued to create various scars on the slug's body, pieces of flesh were exploded from the slug's body, and the number of injuries ranged from hundreds to dozens. When Yiqiē calmed down, the entire slug's body was almost covered with charred black scars, and the entire health was reduced by nearly 6,000 points. Almost when the lightning disappeared, the flesh and skin of the slugs could not be found on the whole body.
However, the attacks of several spellcasters did not stop, and a greasy spell was instantly thrown by He Liwen onto the body of the slug that was electrocuted and fell to the ground, and then a large fireball was thrown over. The moment it hit the slug, it also ignited the grease on its body, and the severe pain caused the slug to roll and slap the ground, and the rubble on the ground was splashed everywhere.
The raging flames only lasted less than ten seconds, but when the flames dissipated, Chen Kai and the others smelled a very strong smell of barbecue. The smell is similar to Efila's large white snails, the burnt kind, of course. It's just that Chen Kai and the others definitely don't want to cut a piece of meat from this slug and eat it, because whoever sees the slug's body will not have an appetite.
"Is this guy dead?" Fei Yun asked, pointing to the body of the slug that was still twitching on the ground, because he had not received a hint of experience from the system.
"It shouldn't be dead" Chen Kai looked at the slug's motionless blood bar and said, although the flames caused a lot of damage to the slug's body, but it only hurt the other party's epidermis.
With a soft sound, Chen Kai saw the slug jump up from the ground again, pounce on him with its burnt mouth open, and slap its snow-white teeth with a large amount of mucus and charred flesh. But it still rushed at a very high speed, and its body was still so soft and full of stretching force.
It's just that when the slug's body moves, the charred rotten flesh on its body explodes and cracks one after another, revealing the snow-white body wrapped inside. At the same time, its body inflicted another wound on itself before it could hurt anyone else.
Dozens of points and hundreds of points of damage that came out of its head one by one caused the body of the big slug that was constantly tormenting also made its body move sluggishly, but the slug body moved slowly, and Chen Kai's movement was not slow. The three close combatants quickly rushed forward and beckoned to the slug's body with their own weapons, the sharp giant sword and dragon spear caused two huge wounds on the slug's body, and Zhao Tiezhu's axe smashed directly into the slug's mouth, smashing its teeth directly out of the muscles.
Chen Kai's giant sword slashed diagonally against its body, completely cutting through its exposed muscles, revealing the snow-white texture inside like crab meat. The whole wound was almost half a meter long, and a large number of ** seeped out of the wound, and soon a large puddle seeped on the ground.
Su Wan's dragon spear stabbed directly under the slug's neck, stabbed a deep incision on it, and pulled down forcefully, further expanding the entire wound to form a thirty centimeter-long expansion wound. Moreover, the wound caused by Su Wan was unusually deep, if the length was not considered, the wound area she caused would be at least 20% more than Chen Kai. Therefore, the damage caused by Su Wan to the slug was also very high, and the loss of blood was as high as 4,700 points, almost reimbursing one-eighth of the slug's remaining health at one time.
The wound of the slug, after a little bit of fluid, soon stuck together, which was the terrible recovery force of the mollusk. As long as it's not a loss injury, even if the leg is gone, they will grow back quickly. (But it seems that slugs don't have legs)
After struggling a few times, the severely injured slug finally fell under Chen Kai's butcher's knife, but unfortunately after killing the slug, Chen Kai and the others were not in the mood to take the slug's meat to make a white snail, or a white slug. Because Su Xinghe's people are gone, or they forget which cave Su Xinghe was beaten to, when Su Xinghe was pumped away, most people's vision was blocked by the slug's body, or they were pressed in the cave by the stone rain and couldn't see it, so they didn't see which cave Su Xinghe was pumped into.
But after the battle, when Chen Kai and the others were about to look for Su Xinghe, they found that there were at least four caves around it, and they were very close to each other. There were traces of collision on every cave entrance, and no matter how Chen Kai shouted, they didn't hear Su Xinghe's echo.
"Old Su can't have been knocked unconscious," Fei Yun said as he looked at Su Xinghe's remaining half of his health in the team channel, because he had already shouted several times into several holes, but he didn't hear any answer from Su Xinghe except for the echo of the cave.
"I guess so, or let's go down and look for it," Chen Kai said softly, and then took the lead in walking towards a cave, of course he tied a thin rope to his belt when he walked in. Watching Chen Kai's movements, Fei Yun also tied a rope to his body and walked towards the other hole, both of them holding torches in their hands to facilitate the lighting of the surrounding environment.
Seeing Chen Kai and the two of them enter the cave to search Su Xinghe, Xu Fei wanted to go in at first, but then he gave up again, and instead made a fence where the slug came out. While the fence seems to be of little use, if the monster is still a large creature like the slug, it will only be shattered after a single impact.
"Where are you, Lao Su?" Chen Kai shouted loudly with a torch, and when he entered the cave, he found that the cave was actually a downward slope, and most importantly, the slope looked very smooth. If it weren't for Chen Kai's preparation, he would definitely slip the soles of his feet directly at the moment he entered the cave.
Therefore, Chen Kai could only cautiously grope his way along the cave slowly, and as he advanced, he had to hold a torch to look for Su Xinghe's figure around. It's just that his loud call only caused a burst of echoes in the cave, and through the cave he could still hear Fei Yun's shout when he was looking for Su Xinghe, and it was obvious that the two caves were connected somewhere.
"Old Su, where are you? Answer when you hear it? Chen Kai searched in the cave with one foot deep and one foot shallow, he had already walked a distance of nearly a hundred meters at this time, and the entire slope still had no end in sight, and at the same time, he did not see Su Xinghe's figure. This time, though, he seemed to hear a slight moan from the darkness, a thick and familiar voice.
"I~I'm here" Su Xinghe's weak voice came from under the slope, listening to this voice, the place where he was was was at least a hundred meters away from Chen Kai. Feeling the smooth passage on the ground, Chen Kai estimated that when he was beaten in, he slid directly down the passage, and then hit something before stopping. Therefore, Chen Kai estimated that Su Xinghe's injuries should be very strict, and there may be a fracture of Yan Xinghe. So he informed the others very directly, and asked them to walk down the hole and take a stretcher by the way.
When Chen Kai saw Su Xinghe with a torch, his appearance was very miserable, his armor was hit everywhere and there were dents, and the giant sword was inserted into the rock crevice not far away. At the same time, Su Xinghe's entire body hit a stalactite blocked in the passage, looking at his drooping shoulders and pale face, Chen Kai knew that his guess was almost completely correct, Su Xinghe couldn't walk at all now.
"Lao Su, are you okay?" Chen Kai slowly lowered his body with a torch, looked at Su Xinghe who fell to the ground and asked with concern, Chen Kai didn't want to move his body at will before he was sure of the situation. Because that may cause more severe damage, it will cause displacement of the originally fractured bones.
"Broken an arm, two ribs and a thigh" Su Xinghe raised his head and smiled slightly, but no matter how Chen Kai looked at it, he felt that this smile was a little reluctant, because the corners of Su Xinghe's mouth were constantly twitching when he laughed.
"That's it! You bear with me a little, I have already called the pillar, they took the stretcher down, and they will carry you up soon" Chen Kai said after helping Su Xinghe check it a little, because he found that there was a slight bone misalignment in the place where Su Xinghe was fractured, so in this dim situation, Chen Kai was not busy, but waited for others to carry Su Xinghe out and then treat.
"Wait a minute, I'll help you pick up the weapon first" After gently helping Su Xinghe to the edge of the cave and leaning on it, Chen Kai looked around, ready to take back Su Xinghe's giant sword that was inserted in the crevice of the rock further below.
Chen Kai slowly climbed down the slope, and the rock blocking the Su Xinghe River was almost a dividing line, separating the smooth passage from the pile of broken rubble. If Su Xinghe had fallen into this kind of gravel pile at the beginning, it was estimated that the injuries on his body would have been even more serious, and of course, if the slope was steeper, it was estimated that the injuries would have been even more serious.
Looking at the giant sword that was close at hand, Chen Kai slowly stretched out his hand, but his eyes were stunned when he grabbed the giant sword. A meter away from where the greatsword was was a huge crack, and a faint glow flickered there under the crack.
Looking at that piece of light, Chen Kai felt very strange, because in this environment, any light would be very eye-catching. After putting away Su Xinghe's giant sword, Chen Kai slowly climbed to the crack, poked his head out and looked down, which directly made him completely stunned.
Underneath the crack was a huge colorful river that emitted various lights, and the colorful light flowed slowly in the ground like a colorful ribbon. A layer of colorful mist above the river flowed there with the rushing water, like a twig trevulled veil.
"TMD's is so beautiful" Chen Kai looked at the qiē in front of him in shock, whether it was the river flowing in the river, or the green meadows on both sides, or those strange huge colorful plants, all of them were displayed in front of Chen Kai's eyes like the most beautiful picture scroll in the world.
Looking at the qi in front of him, Chen Kai suddenly thought of the words on the map about the veins of the earth, which were very similar to what Chen Kai saw. "I can't put into words the magnificent scenery I saw, it was the most beautiful place I've ever seen in my life, and no flowery words can describe my mood at the moment. Whether it is those colorful meadows or colorful plants, they are rare things in the world, and this flowing qiē is like the pulse of life on the earth, it is so majestic and wonderful, it is so shocking."
"What's wrong with you, boss? Speak," after arriving at the position, Zhao Tiezhu and the others quickly found Su Xinghe who was leaning on the side, but they didn't see Chen Kai. As a result, the group holding the torch finally saw Chen Kai standing on the gravel pile in a daze, but no matter how they shouted Chen Kai, he just didn't speak, and the whole person seemed to be enchanted.
Zhao Tiezhu and the others called Chen Kai for a long time before he came back to his senses, but his two eyes still did not leave the world below. "Xiao Fei, I think I've found the veins of the earth" After a long time, Chen Kai slowly withdrew his gaze and announced in the team channel.
"What? Brother Shui, have you found your way? Everyone shouted excitedly in the team channel, and several people around Chen Kai rushed to his side to check the situation, just glanced at a few people and immediately indulged in the magnificent scenery around the underground river.
"But now there's a problem, how do we go down?" Chen Kai looked at the hundreds of meters of suspended space and began to worry, and what made him even more depressed was that it seemed that there was the river directly below them. Although the river looks very beautiful, everyone knows that the more beautiful something is, the more deadly it may be hidden behind it, so no matter what Chen Kai thinks, he doesn't plan to venture into the water.
For this reason, Chen Kai and the others could only find a way to the veins of the earth, but this cave was still marked by them and used as a passage when there was really no way. After carefully marking, Chen Kai and the others continued to crawl up the slope step by step, and the two-hundred-meter road took almost half an hour to climb, while Su Xinghe slid from above to below in less than a minute. Of course, the consequence was that he was hit with at least 40 bone cracks and more than 30 bruises, and none of the entire body was intact.
In order to treat Su Xinghe's injuries, Chen Kai and the others had been staying in the Rock Hall for two days, during which they explored several caves and finally identified a passage suspected to lead to the veins of the earth. Because in that passage, Chen Kai found some colorful plants, and this kind of plant had only been seen by Chen Kai on the side of the river in the veins of the earth before.
It's just that because the cave is too deep, if you really want to explore carefully, it will take at least a day or more, and Chen Kai also found some slug's slime in the cave. He was worried that there were some large slugs living here, and it would become very dangerous to explore the path alone, so Chen Kai exited the cave after carefully marking it.
"Chief, why is this cave so deep?" After Su Xinghe's injuries were completely healed, Chen Kai and the others entered the cave collectively, and walked along the path marked by Chen Kai to the passage that Chen Kai had retreated to.
"Nonsense~ If I don't go deeper, I'll finish exploring it myself, do I still need to act together?" Chen Kai led the way in front and said, in fact, because there were too many caves, many times Chen Kai and they had to risk exploring the path alone, and only when the caster acted, would two or three people act together. Of course, acting alone doesn't mean that you won't encounter danger, anything can happen in the underground world, especially in the deep passages.
God knows if there will be a bunch of dead creatures or a large number of venomous snakes and other reptiles rushing out of the room, but of course it is more likely that a few large crypt lizards or cavemen will suddenly run out of nowhere or something.
