Chapter 218: The Scepter of the Earth - The Vein That Runs Through the Earth (9)

Hey, I was scolded again today.,555 is so miserable T,T-

I can't code words during work hours, and I can only code so late when I go home.

"Why is this hole so long?" Fei Yun looked at the endless cave passage and lamented, they had been in the underground world for three whole days. To read the latest chapters, please lock in to Aishang's novel website biquge.infowww.tsxsw.net but they are still looking for an exit in the winding cavern, and as for the veins of the earth marked on the map, the group has not even seen it.

"The fourth brother has that time, nonsense, don't hurry up and explore the way, NND, this ghost place, actually went around here three times" Chen Kai roared at Fei Yun with a gloomy face, and when the latter heard it, he immediately jumped up from the ground and pulled a thin rope along the dark cave passage to start exploring the road.

The road in the underground cave was so complicated that even with the map in their hands, Chen Kai and the others got lost several times. Once, I walked straight back to the rock platform where I set out, and ended up walking for an afternoon.

Seeing Fei Yun disappear from sight after walking along a hole, Chen Kai once again withdrew his gaze to the map. The map, which he had bought from the shopkeeper, was carefully marked, but it was still too crude, because it was too large to mark all the entrances and exits, and could only describe the surroundings in words.

For example, for the cave where Chen Kai and his family are located, the note reads: "There are many forks in the cave, and you need to use a thin rope as a rope to send people to explore the way, and follow the cave where the white rock is located to the northwest." "This is from Chen Kai's point of view, and the other direction is the opposite, heading towards the southeast.

The writing is not very detailed, which is also very troublesome to understand, so at least half of the white rocks in the entire cave have the entrance, and what is even worse is that some of the cave entrances are white rocks, but after entering the inside for a distance, they become another kind of rock, which makes Chen Kai and them take a lot of unjust roads.

In addition, it is sometimes difficult to discern the direction in the underground world, and it is often necessary to walk in the northwest direction, and the result is to go in the southeast direction. And in some places, there are also materials such as iron ore magnets, and the compass will not be used very much.

In the end, Chen Kai and the others could only use the most stupid method, slowly marking step by step, and probing the past cave by cave. Of course, fortunately, there are not many caves, and there are only thirty or forty caves with white rocks, and they can be tried in a few days, and if you are lucky, you can succeed in one attempt. Of course, if you are unlucky, you will be chased out of the cave by monsters, just like Fei Yun.

The cave is not very safe, or there is absolutely no safe place in the underground world, except for the evil underground cavemen, there are all kinds of monsters. For example, sludge monsters, rock bugs, burrowing lizards, and shadowfangs.

In addition to these normal monsters, there are also abnormal elemental creatures, similar to earth or rock golems. Of course, the body size is not big, at most it is only two meters tall, and if you fight people, you can almost knock Chen Kai away with one fist. So when they saw this kind of puppet, Chen Kai and the others chose to ignore it, and then walked around with their tails between their legs.

However, up to now, Chen Kai and the others in the entire cave had not encountered a single elemental puppet creature, after all, that creature was an elemental monster of the lowest rank as high as the fifth order. Of course, the most important elemental creatures only appear in places with dense elemental energy, and there have been no places with dense elemental energy in the entire cave so far, so there is no chance to meet those legendary elemental creatures with many elemental cores on their bodies.

Chen Kai and the others began to light a bonfire as Fei Yun explored the way, and the orange flames emitted a soft light to dispel the darkness in the cave. Under the bright light of the bonfire, Chen Kai and the others were able to relax a little, carefully looking at the place where they had circled three times and then returned.

The entire rock hall is about twenty square meters in size, and is surrounded by more than a dozen openings leading to unknown passages. Of course, there were three Chen Kai among them, and they had already walked through, but they still went around after walking three times. And in one of the passages, they also encountered a rock salamander, an animal similar to the real-life conservation animal doll fish, but not an amphibian but a reptile.

It's just that the rock salamander is timid by nature, so when they met Chen Kai at the first sight, they turned around and crawled away, which made the gang panic in vain. After all, the rock salamander is more than three meters long, nearly two meters tall when its limbs are propped up, and its whole body is full of solid muscles. If you get angry, you can kill Chen Kai and the others, of course, most of the time they are timid and docile.

However, Chen Kai and the others only saw the timid side of the rock salamander, and they didn't see the docile side. But when you think about that kind of large animal, no matter how docile it is, it probably won't be very cute, especially after seeing its slippery skin and yellow stool, no one will associate it with meekness.

"Xiaofei, do you remember which hole we came out of?" Chen Kai walked around the campfire for a moment and asked Xu Fei, who was inspecting the rocks, because he realized that he had forgotten which cave he had finally come out of.

"The one with an X on the rocks on the ground is" Xu Fei replied directly without raising it, because he found that the texture of those white rocks was very delicate, and the slightest pinch of his fingers would turn into something like flour.

"~~ No, there's no X here at all, it's strange how it's sticky on the ground?" Chen Kai touched his hand on the ground and found that the armor was stained with a layer of white slime, which was very slippery.

"How could it not have been drawn by my own hands!" Xu Fei stood up directly from the ground and walked to Chen Kai's side, he took a photo on the edge of the cave with a torch and found that he really didn't see the X-shaped mark. Xu Fei, who felt very strange, held the torch again and looked towards the other cave entrances, only to find that there were no markings at all the cave entrances.

Seeing this situation, Xu Fei was stunned for a moment, because it meant that the place where they were now was not the origin as originally expected, but a new similar rock hall, that is, it was possible that they were really lost.

"What's wrong with you, Xiaofei?" Chen Kai felt that Xu Fei's face was very strange, he looked like a headless fly spinning around in the rock hall, and then quickly rushed to the tent to check the map and asked with concern.

"Brother Shui, I think we are in trouble, I didn't find those markers" Xu Fei sat on the ground dejectedly, he really couldn't think of what went wrong, because they had just seen the markers in the rock hall to be sure that they had walked here, but now those markers were gone.

"How is it possible that there isn't a sign on the side of the campfire?" Chen Kai said in disbelief, because when he just walked into the tent, he saw the mark on the side of the campfire.

"Yes, how did I forget," Xu Fei immediately jumped up from the ground after hearing this, and he walked quickly to the edge of the bonfire, where there was a rock that was deliberately placed in a way that the bonfire was scattered, and above the rock was a circular mark carved by Chen Kai and them.

"Great, we're back to square one, but where have all the cave markings gone?" Looking at the circular marker, Xu Fei breathed a sigh of relief, this mark meant that they had returned to the place where they had walked three times, but what made him strange was that the markers carved on the rock at the entrance of the cave had disappeared.

Xu Fei, who was sitting on the edge of the campfire, slowly fell into a state of thinking, but at this time, panting breathing and a very familiar cry for help came from a hole. Everyone listened to the task at hand, for it was Fei Yun's shout, and it seemed that some creature was chasing him behind him.

"Help, boss, hurry up and help, there's a big guy" Fei Yun crawled out of a hole, his body was stained with some messy gravel and those slime sticking to the rocky ground, and the whole person was unusually wolf.

"What's the matter, what's the big guy?" Chen Kai slowly pulled out his weapon and asked Fei Yun, but he soon found that his question was a little redundant, because the big guy that Fei Yun said in his mouth ran out not long after he rushed out of the cave.

It was a huge slug nearly three meters long, and its viscous body was distributed with various rocks, large and small, several of which also had an X on it. Everyone who saw the rocks understood where the marks they had left had gone, and it was clear that they had all been ramped to the back of the slug.

Although I don't know why this giant slug is holding on to those rocks, the sharp teeth in the other party's mouth and the behavior of wanting to attack Chen Kai mean that a fierce battle will soon begin. It's just that looking at the slimy body of the slug, everyone has a feeling of strength and nowhere to go.

"Sprinkle it with salt, slug is afraid of salt" Fei Yun, who escaped his life, quickly got up from the ground, and then stood behind and yelled, hearing Fei Yun's words, He Liwen directly took out a bag of salt from her backpack and threw it at the slug.

But there are times when creatures in the wizarding world can't be judged by common sense, and in reality, slugs who are afraid of salt become no longer afraid of salt in the wizarding world. The bag of salt was sprinkled on the slug's body and immediately melted into a puddle of salt water that the slug absorbed, instead of injuring the slug's body.

Looking at the empty bag of salt, Fei Yun was speechless for a moment. Then he felt lighter, and the whole person was dragged backwards and flew out, and the place where he was was was replaced by a huge slug head. Several crumbling stones were spat out of the slug's mouth, and a large crater appeared in the otherwise hard, flat ground.

"Xiao Fei checks the Illustrated Book of Underground Creatures, Lao Su, you are on your left and I am on your right, the pillar holds up the shield and is careful not to be bitten, this guy's teeth are very good, and the others attack freely" After dragging Fei Yun behind, Chen Kai instantly ordered the battle arrangement, and then the whole person rushed towards the right side of the slug, and the giant sword in his hand dragged on the ground and drew a trace of sparks.

"Shang" accompanied by Su Xinghe's roar, Chen Kai and Su Xinghe swung their weapons at the same time and slashed down at the slug's body. The whistling sound of the two giant swords made a sound like a ghost crying in the small space, but then the sound of rock shattering replaced the whistling sound, and Chen Kai and the others understood what the rock on the slug's back was for.

It turns out that this layer of rock is specially designed to protect its body, and those rocks that float up and down with the movement of the body can absorb the attack force, and use the power of the rock fragmentation to mitigate the slashing force of the weapon. As a result, the two sharp greatswords did not even hurt the skin of the slug, and only brought up a cloud of slimy slime and some crumbling earth and stones.

"Dizzy~ Its skin can also absorb the impact" Chen Kai took a step back depressedly, the first attack of the two people was almost futile, in addition to the rock blocking the blade, the slug's skin that sank down with the blade was also an important reason for this situation.

With a loud sound, the shield that Zhao Tiezhu was carrying and his body were beaten back a step, and it was the slug's huge soft head that hit him. Almost at the moment when Chen Kai and the others were chopping, the big slug suddenly stretched out its head and smashed towards Zhao Tiezhu, who was blocking the front.

Zhao Tiezhu was beaten back several steps, and even the hand holding the shield trembled a little, but the big slug seemed to have nothing to do, but turned his head and bit Chen Kai. The soft head turned nearly 180 degrees and rushed towards Chen Kai on the right side of its body, its huge mouth with snow-white teeth looking like a bloodthirsty beast.

Seeing the slug head that pounced towards him, Chen Kai didn't even think about it, and directly erected the giant sword in front of his chest. As a result, with a huge metal clash sound, Chen Kai's whole person and the giant sword were pushed back several steps by the slug, and his feet made two deep marks on the ground, and the sparks and heat generated by the friction between the metal boots and the ground made Chen Kai feel as if the soles of his feet were being scalded and blistered.

Of course, it was even more severe because of the loss of his own life, being hit by such a huge force, even if Chen Kai took the initiative to retreat, he would be injured a little, and Chen Kai did not take the initiative to retreat, but was pushed out by the beating. Therefore, the impact force was even greater, and when the slug retracted its head, Chen Kai almost needed the support of the giant sword for a moment so that he would not sit on the ground. At the same time, his HP decreases by 281 points in an instant, and these damages are all impact damage.

"The strength is really big enough" Both Chen Kai and Zhao Tiezhu flashed this sentence in their hearts, and they shook their wrists at the same time and moved their numb arms that were hit. Then they pounced on the slugs again, and of course they were soon forced back again, as a whole body of gravel rushed at them.

When Chen Kai and the others wanted to rush up again, the slug shook its body, moved all the broken pebbles on its body to the vicinity of its mouth, and then suddenly opened its mouth wide and sucked it, spraying hard. Clumps of gravel wrapped in slime were shot out by the slugs at a very high speed, and the stones hit the ground with a popping sound, leaving a shallow crater in the ground almost every time it hits the ground.

Xu Fei and a few of them cast spells and saw that the stones that burst out hid in the cave on the side for the first time, and Fei Yun, who was quick-eyed, also put away the tent to prevent it from being turned into a rag by those stones. At the same time, Zhao Tiezhu, who was originally blocking the front, wanted to use his shield to block a few times, but the continuous rain of stones kept hitting the shield and made his whole person feel unbearable, especially the power of some stones was surprisingly large, if it wasn't for the shield being strong enough, it was estimated that it would have been pierced long ago.

Therefore, Zhao Tiezhu, who couldn't bear the strength, had to retreat into the cave with him, hiding at the mouth of the cave and looking at the big slugs that were still mad from a distance.

"Brother Shui found out, it is a crushed rock slug, which belongs to a fourth-order high-ranking creature, but it is born with great strength, and the rock armor on its body can protect their bodies from being affected by the surrounding environment and ensure body moisture," Xu Fei said in the team channel with a thick atlas nested in a cave, and at this moment everyone understood the strength of this big slug.

It's one thing to understand, but it's another thing to be able to beat it, and no one wants to be hit by that stormy stone. It's better to wear metal armor, and it is estimated that you can resist a few more times, but if you go out in a cloth robe or leather armor, you will definitely be beaten into a sieve.

"This guy probably doesn't have any brains, he didn't even know that we were all hiding, and he was still spitting stones there," Fei Yun observed cautiously in the cave, if it weren't for the stones that weren't hit, he would have taken out the crossbow machine and aimed at the slug's head and started shooting.

"It's not stupid, you see what it's doing now," Chen Kai pointed to the slug and said, it turned out that at this moment, in addition to constantly firing stones, the huge slug was still absorbing the water in the cauldron that Chen Kai was preparing to use to make broth. The huge pot was filled with a lot of water to make a pot of broth that could satisfy the appetite of twelve people, and now it was all swallowed by the slug.

"Damn, will this pot still work in the future?" Fei Yun looked at the mucus-stained cauldron and said dumbfounded, thinking that he would use this cauldron to cook broth in the future, he felt a bone of sour water welling up.

"What's disgusting, it's not your kid who provoked it, after killing this guy, you will go to brush the pot for me, if you don't clean it, you won't be allowed to eat today" Chen Kai slapped Fei Yun's head fiercely, and then his body flashed and pounced towards the slug, because he found that the rocks on the other party's body had been almost consumed, after all, those stone rains needed those rocks on the slug's back as ammunition.

At the moment when Chen Kai came out, the four eyes on the slug's head also saw Chen Kai, and almost in an instant, it stopped its body's action of absorbing water, and its head aimed at Chen Kai and started to ** the stone directly. The sound of stones breaking through the air continued to reach Chen Kai's ears, forcing him to keep changing his position to avoid those stones.

"The dead worm Lao Tzu is behind you" Su Xinghe yelled at the slug, then raised the giant sword in his hand and slashed down at the other party's back, which he found out when the slug attacked Chen Kai. But in fact, when he came out, the slugs had already spotted him, after all, a slug had four eyes, each of which could observe a 360 range around it.

As a result, Su Xinghe, who had already consumed the stone and had no other means, ate a huge and soft tail, and although the huge tail of the slug was soft to death, it was extremely powerful when it swept up. Originally, Su Xinghe wanted to give the slug a ruthless blow, but in the end, he himself was beaten out by the other party, and the whole person was beaten out horizontally, and he was very accurately hit into a cave and didn't see anyone crawl out for half a day.

"Damn" After watching Su Xinghe being photographed out horizontally, Chen Kai gritted his teeth and scolded. He looked at the four eyes on the slug's head and knew that if he didn't cut off these eyes, it would be difficult for his group's attack to cause too much damage to the other party, as long as it looked like a deadly attack, the slug would dodge.

So Chen Kai swung his weapon very directly and slashed at the slug's head, of course, this move was false, and such an obvious attack on the slug would definitely be able to dodge. And the people who are actually really responsible for attacking the eyes are Fei Yun, who is holding a crossbow machine to aim, and several spellcasters who have prepared spells for a long time-
