CH.03 Desperate

The red gaze was full of hostility, without exception. At the secret behest of the queen worm, these beetles with red eyes attacked in unison, forming a dense tide of insects, surging towards An Rui, their wings and limbs rubbing together to make a scalp-tingling sound.

In the blink of an eye, those beetles that were close to each other had already rushed to the front of An Rui, one by one, they opened their teeth and claws, waved their limbs, and attacked all parts of An Rui's body.

I saw a flash of cold light.

An Rui's figure disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already more than a dozen yards away. His hand rested on the hilt of his sword.

The beetles that rushed ahead stopped one after another, and those flying in the air fell directly to the ground. Each of them had an extra fatal wound on their body, and the wound was bubbling green blood.

Anrui continued to walk, walking very slowly, but whenever a beetle approached him, he would turn into an incomparably fast cold light and slash all the beetles in his vicinity. These beetles that lead the way are all some level five to ten beetles, which are not his enemies at all, and they can often kill a dozen or even more with a single sword.

After repeating this several times, more beetles poured up, and this time the number reached an astonishing hundreds, some of which ran on the ground and some flew in the sky, and the size varied, the small ones were only the size of a palm, and the large ones were comparable to the tigers.

In the face of so many beetles, An Rui can't be as chic and elegant as just now, and he must show some real skills.

Storm Flow Skill. Big tornado!

An Rui gripped the bloodthirsty sword tightly and crossed it to the side of his left cheek. Mobilize the strength of all your body and pour it into the sword body. An air flow emerged around the sword body, and the air flow became larger and larger, forming a rotating cyclone. The edge of the cyclone is as sharp as a blade.

The blood-red sword seemed to be entangled with a wind dragon, and the strong wind swept around, making An Rui's clothes and corners hunting, and the ground was even more sand and rocks.

When the large number of beetles rushed closer, Anrui slashed the storm-wrapped sword, and the bitter storm roared out and continued to push forward. A large number of beetles enter it, and for them, it is a king-sized meat grinder. Or a cemetery heading to the end of life.

This storm is a condensation of energy, which is more terrifying and destructive than the storms of nature.

A large number of beetles were strangled by the storm, and the limb wreckage swirled with the storm. Green blood rained down in all directions.

In the face of such a terrible storm. The beetles in the back were still fearless in their death-defying charge, one group fell, and another batch was replaced. Insect corpses were piled up on the ground as if they had been covered with a carpet.

Killing frenzy!

The storm is very strong, but there are always times when it weakens, and when this wind weakens to a certain extent, the subsequent beetles rush through the gap and attack Anrui.

Anrui blocked some of the beetles' attacks. The rest are blocked by the Water Hermit's Shield. A shield of water vapor appeared around his body, keeping out the beetles. An Rui, who was overwhelmed by many beetles. At this time, it is like a flat boat on the black water.

The scuffle lasted for several minutes, and Anrui was so dark that he didn't think about anything but fighting. His eyes were already red, no different from those of the red-eyed beetles around him. The battle is like the commanding heights of two species on the food chain of their competitors, fighting purely for survival versus the killing instinct.

After hundreds of beetles died, the attack of the insect tide came to an abrupt end, and the beetles, which were originally menacing, retreated all at once. Their movements are uniform and even more well-trained than human armies. Even the best generals in the world can't train such an army.

An Rui gasped heavily, looked coldly at the scattered beetles, took out two bottles of pullback potion from the space package, bit the lid open with his mouth, and drank it.

The safe dosage of this potion was one bottle at a time, but he drank two bottles at a time, which would speed up the recovery of his physical strength at the cost of damaging his body. He would never do such a stupid thing before, but today he is too lazy to care about these details.

The beetle's retreat is not admitting defeat, this is their nest, it is their world, and they will not admit defeat. The reason for the retreat was only to avoid unnecessary sacrifices and organize a more targeted offensive.

Soon, the sound of flapping wings could be heard from the dark pit, and as many as fifteen flying beetles quickly approached Anrui, each more than two yards long, covered in hard, carapaces, and spear-like spikes on their heads.

These fifteen beetles are all the best of their kind, that is, the so-called elite soldiers, and their level is above fifteen, and some of them are even higher than An Rui himself!

With his own strength alone, An Rui was no match for this group of beetle elite soldiers at all, and he used the half-dragon ability very well and borrowed the power of the Black Lan Dragon. He became a half-human, half-dragon, with scales growing on his body, wings and a dragon's tail growing from his back.

"Roar!"

An Rui roared at the flying beetles, his voice carrying the coercion of the dragons, causing the beetles to slow down sharply and produce instinctive fear. He took the opportunity to fly over, and took the initiative to attack.

The cold glow of energy exploded in the middle of the group of flying beetles, flickering incessantly.

The beetles were thwarted, but quickly picked themselves up, like a black-armored knight with a spear, charging back and forth in mid-air, attacking Anrui with the spikes in his head. The speed of these beetles is extremely fast, and although the attack method is single, they are quite skilled, and they will drop ten times with one force.

There were several beetles attacking that even the shield of the Water Hermit could not stop.

The shield of water vapor shattered, turned into shards, and fell downward. The remaining beetle was stabbed on An Rui's body, if it weren't for the dragon scale body, it would have to be cold.

An Rui didn't even say a word, resisted these few blows, and launched a strong counterattack, using the ability of the Bloodthirsty Sword. The blade slashed at these beetles, sucking out the life force of these beetles and pouring them into An Rui's body. Those broken wounds were repaired at a considerable rate.

Relying on the support of the Healing Elixir and the Bloodthirsty Sword, An Rui slaughtered all these beetle elites who were almost the same level as himself. His physical strength and vitality are still abundant.

"Queen worm, if you have any other skills, just use them all." Knowing that these orders to attack were given by the queen worm, An Rui set his eyes on the dark depths. In fact, his real enemy is only the queen worm. These attacking beetles are all pawns at the mercy of the queen worm.

The next round of offensive followed, and it didn't give Anrui much respite.

This time, the queen sent in was a beetle infantry, consisting of two different kinds of beetles, one with an extremely thick carapace that looked like a triceratops. He had a shield crown on his head. Another beetle has a round body with a green filmy gland on its back, which stores a large amount of corrosive fluid.

The heavy beetle acts as a shield in front. The green beetles followed, cooperating with each other to form a mighty team.

An Rui knew that the defense of this heavy beetle was strong, and it was difficult to break through it even with his strength. Simply flew around to the back of the beetle team. Attack from weak areas. He unleashed his ranged combat skills, slashing out many crescent-shaped wind blades.

Wind blades fell into the ranks of beetles, nine times out of ten, and slashed at those green beetles. One by one, the beetles burst open, and the corrosive fluid stored in the glands splattered everywhere. The corrosive liquid fell to the ground, and the ground immediately melted and fell on the beetle, but it had no effect. The beetle's hard shell apparently has the ability to be immune to these corrosive fluids.

The beetles quickly fought back. The heavy beetle, which was slightly bulky, turned around to fend off the onrushing momentum. The green beetle begins to spit out corrosive fluid. Sharp water arrows shot out of his mouth. These attacks intertwined into green raindrops.

An Rui shuttled through the stormy attack, and constantly slashed out the wind blade, and engaged in long-range confrontation with the group of beetles. At first he played with ease, but soon it was not so easy.

Two other teams of the same kind of infantry beetles fought out from the other two directions of the pit, set up in formation, and fired the corrosive liquid from different directions, and the attacks from the three directions were intertwined, forming a dense attack network.

An Rui inevitably splashed the corrosive liquid, and the dragon scales melted, and then hurt the flesh and blood, and the pain was unbearable. The Beetle's offensive was obviously more powerful than the one just now.

It's too much of a long-range fight with these green beetles, but you can't melee them because they will blow themselves up. Once they get close, these beetles will turn into powerful self-detonating bombs!

An Rui knew the power of the green beetle, so he didn't rush over to kill it, but simply gritted his teeth and unleashed a very powerful dragon breath slash. This is his most powerful long-range combat skill, and the destructive power is huge.

The pillar of light blasted into one of the beetle phalanxes, blasting a large crater in the ground, overturning many heavy beetles, and the green beetles were even worse, and they would explode if they touched it. The Dragon's Breath slash swept through the phalanx, causing the phalanx to become a mess, and only a few heavy beetles survived, like a turtle turning over, turning over and regrouping.

An Rui was so tired that he was panting, and he used a precious teleportation to hide in a relatively safe corner, took out several bottles of pullback elixir, and poured them all into his abdomen as if he were drinking water. The power surged back up, and his flesh and blood burned in pain, in protest against him.

The damage caused by taking the Pull-Back Elixir so often is permanent.

"It's not enough, the experience gained is not enough, I still have to keep killing!"

An Rui's eyes were fierce, and he clenched his twin swords tightly, and once again slaughtered back into the siege of the beetles. He used all his skills, alternating between combat skills, treasures, and dragon roars, and killed all of these difficult beetle infantry.

The experience gained from death has finally pushed Anrui's level to new heights.

[Hint: You have accumulated enough experience points to successfully upgrade to level 19 Dragon Warrior, attack +4, defense +3, stamina +3, and learn the new skill "Dragon Trample."] 】

An Rui was full of killing, and when he heard this prompt, there was only a slight flash of joy in his heart, and then he returned his attention to the killing. Level 19 is not his goal this time, and he won't stop until he reaches level 20 or above!

Bereg's death touched him too much, arousing a strong desire for strength, and he had become desperate in exchange for strength.

His almost crazy killing behavior finally angered the queen of worms.

A beetle that hid before. rushed out again, and this time organized an even larger insect tide, including dozens of elite soldiers of the two types of empty roads. Thousands of miscellaneous soldiers! This time, the queen of worms obviously wanted to put An Rui, the intruder, to death completely.

An Rui looked at this overwhelming insect tide, not only was he not afraid, but he felt happy, and resolutely rushed in, showing the combat skills he had just learned, and stepped on it. His foot was like a dragon's step, weighing more than 10,000 pounds. Even the heavy beetles can't resist it.

The killing was like a cycle, repeated in the blood.

……

At the same time, on a certain road to hell.

Countless undead stood in a row. Moving aimlessly, most of these undead are confused, have no autonomous consciousness, and rely entirely on instinct to move forward. They don't know where they come from. I wasn't interested in knowing where I was going, just mechanically repeating the steps.

There is only one exception. He has a sense of thinking.

The undead was an elven archer during his lifetime, and after his death, he still retained his former form, but the essence of his body changed to translucent. On his back, he still has the bow and arrow and quiver that he carried before his death.

"My name is Bei...... What is Bey? Damn, I can't remember, my memory is so blurry. ”

The undead archer frowned, pondering the question, but could not find an answer.

Actually, since he came to this road. He's been thinking about all sorts of questions, he's thinking about his name, who he is, where he came from. Support him in thinking. It is an obsession deeply rooted in the heart. He always felt that he had something important to do and should not end this short life in such a hurry.

He was thinking, piecing together the puzzle of memories, and that obsession was growing.

Walked another way.

"I remember, my name is Berego, and I'm an archer."

The undead have no feelings, they don't rejoice in the awakening of their memories, they just get a kind of satisfaction in their subconscious.

He continued to think, and gradually remembered more things. When he remembered the cause of his death, his obsession with life magnified to the point where it was enough to reverse the laws of nature.

"No, no! I can't just die, I have to take revenge and kill that jumper. Carlo! ”

Berego gained great strength from hatred.

He stopped, defying the suction that had drawn him forward, and turned back the way he came. He wants to return to the world he once was, even though that world no longer belongs to him.

……

Worm Island, in the middle of a deep pit.

An Rui had already rushed to the middle of the pit, and his body was on the verge of limit, and now even if he drank five bottles of Pullback Elixir at one time, his physical strength would not be able to recover. His breath was like a blacksmith's bellows, fiery, and a hoarse sound with every breath.

There are still a large number of beetles around, and these beetles seem to be unable to kill them all, and after killing one batch, another batch will emerge.

An Rui looked coldly at an inconspicuous hole in the ground opposite and rushed towards the hole.

Many adventurers have come here to delve into this pit for various reasons, and only a handful of these adventurers have managed to get out alive, most of them have died. The dead left behind a large number of treasures and weapons.

Ordinary treasures and weapons An Rui didn't look down on at all, and he didn't have a chance to pick them up one by one, so he could only pick up the most valuable ones.

In the cave in front of him, there should be the corpse left behind by a strong man, and he has a diamond-level ring on his body, called the Ring of Doppelgangers, which can create ten doppelgangers every day, and each doppelganger has one-tenth of the strength of the holder.

Together, the ten clones have considerable combat power, and they can be used as death squads or meat shields.

An Rui unleashed a dragon's breath slash, using this attack to kill a bloody path, and then teleported into the cave. He rushed all the way to where the corpse was, grabbed the palm of his hand that had long been weathered into dry bones, took off one of the ordinary-looking silver rings, and put it on his hand.

The prompt sounded, and he successfully obtained the doppelganger ring, as well as the corresponding activation code.

He immediately recited the secret words and released the ten doppelgangers.

Ten clones appeared out of thin air around them, looking like ten undead, they had one-tenth of An Rui's strength, and they could even use some combat skills. However, it is impossible for clones to use special abilities like half-dragons, and they can only use the simplest combat skills.

These ten clones have become the new force under An Rui's command, and more importantly, after these clones kill the beetle, his body can gain experience points.

An Rui took ten doppelgangers out of the cave and continued the bloody battle against the insect tide.

The battle was too fierce, and the clones were consumed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, two were swallowed by the insect tide. The rest of the clones are also constantly being attacked.

An Rui only relied on the Ring of Doppelganger in exchange for a little respite, and failed to turn defeat into victory and suppress the attack of the insect tide.

As a last resort, he could only take out a bottle of precious invincible elixir and find an opportunity to pour it into his mouth!

The medicinal properties of the invincible elixir are far superior to the pull back potion, and the two are not at the same level at all. An Rui's body, which was on the verge of exhaustion, regained its vitality, her physical strength continued to rise, and her wounds quickly healed.

Invincible Elixir, I am invincible!

"It's worthy of an invincible potion, after drinking it, I suddenly returned to my peak state, and even stronger than my peak state!" An Rui's eyes were shining, his spirit was lifted, and he no longer disregarded the physical exertion, and released powerful combat skills one after another.

Dragon's breath, dragon's wings, tornado......

Every time you attack, you will kill a large number of beetles. Fortunately, Anrui blocked the experience point prompt and only kept the upgrade prompt, otherwise it would definitely ring in his head. His experience was growing at an alarming rate.

[Hint: You have accumulated enough experience points to successfully upgrade to level 20 Dragon Warrior, attack +5, defense +2, stamina +2, and learn new skills".] 】

In just a few hours, An Rui jumped two levels in a row. (To be continued......)
