Roddy's answer seemed a little too "practical", "practical" to the point that Sally couldn't accept it. She looked at Roddy in a daze, and muttered, "But why did you say you saved me... You said you were for-"

"It's for the country — I know a lot of people take it as a joke, but I mean it. Roddy shrugged, looked at the little girl who seemed to be a little lost, but also felt that he seemed a little too ruthless, thought for a moment, and said, "If you have the confidence to make Francis disappear, I can consider helping you a few more times." ”

As if joking, Roddy casually choked Sally's words. But these words made her eyes stare slightly, ordinary people may think that he is bragging, but after witnessing everything Roddy did, Sally reacted to the deep meaning in her words.

"What you said... Are you serious? Will you swear?"

Sally raised her palm slightly, and asked very seriously and softly.

Roddy looked at Sally's bright, sparkling eyes, and suddenly realized that the little girl was far smarter than she had imagined. The significance of her gesture of raising her palm is self-evident - similar to the "high-five as an oath" as later generations said, in the rippling soil, although the composition of society is relatively primitive and backward, the principle of "contract" seems to be stricter than modern society at some times.

The oath is to be obeyed by both parties, and most of the time it is more useful than any contract or ordinance - needless to say, Sally is trying to tie herself to the same chariot as her.

Although it feels a bit of a Chinese language trap, Roddy thinks about it and thinks that if it is possible, it is not a fool's dream that Sally will become a "lever" to change history. Now that I have the contact and trust that I have with the other party, then... Why not make her the centerpiece of everything that follows?

"If you take it seriously, I'll take it seriously. ”

With a plan in his heart, Roddy stretched out his hand and swore an oath. Seeing that he really agreed, Sally swept away the depressed expression just now, and the corners of her mouth suddenly curled, feeling that she seemed to have finally gained the upper hand in the conversation with Roddy, and she felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

Roddy looked at her and couldn't help but feel a little funny. But after extinguishing the bonfire, his mind returned to fighting the boss, pondered for a while, or raised his hand to hand the little girl a long dagger that he carried with him, and said casually: "The battle may be useful for the next time, take it." ”

Fighting the Scorpion King Serkris is not easy, especially since Roddy is currently only level 3 and Sally has little combat power - but for a veteran Ranger player, taking on various bosses alone will always be a challenge that the group is happy to practice.

Similar low-level dungeons, there were various videos circulating on the Internet at the time, many of which were made and practiced by Roddy himself - in short, he was fully confident that he could take out the boss with a dozen arrows and two knives.

The visibility of the forest after night fell was extremely low, and Roddy walked ahead, not at all worrying about the beasts that might pounce at any time before, he naturally knew that this was because the front belonged to the boss battle zone, and there were no other creatures near this area.

But in Sally's eyes, this calmness makes Roddy's image in her mind more and more mysterious. She kept fantasizing about the past of this guy with the "seven-year adventurer experience" in her mind, and her expression unconsciously revealed a little admiration - before that, she had never thought that she could meet such a strange guy, and the curiosity in her heart was almost full of her brain - but this guy in front of her was like a log, and she never spoke again along the way, which made her a little depressed.

After walking two kilometers, Roddy began to make traps in the interior of a woodland full of stout giant trees - he had dug seven large pits with huge diameters scattered on the originally flat ground, and Sally wanted to help, but Roddy did not stop him, pointing to this side and letting her help dig the pits, making Sally tired and panting. In the darkness, Sally finally couldn't hold back the doubts in her heart, wiped the sweat from her forehead and asked, "Why do I have the illusion that you have faced these beasts many times?"

Roddy, who was humming a strange song, raised his head, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Your instinct is not wrong, I have been an adventurer for seven years." ”

These words are now a full shield, stopping all kinds of questions from Sally. He dragged hard, and lifted the heavy boulders trapped by the vines above the excavated earth pit, and thanks to the thick trunks of these trees, the vines were also extremely tough, and those hundreds of pounds of stones hung ten meters high, looking crumbling but unusually stable.

"Is it scary to wait for what you will have to face?"

Sally crouched to the side and couldn't help but continue to ask.

"Concedon's cavalry brigade may be able to handle it, but scouts like the one in Finks will die as many as they come. ”

Roddy didn't boast about the strength of the Scorpion King "Serkris", and the level of 10 may not be a high level for humans, but after adding the "Boss Template", it is not unusual for the strength to triple at all. What's even more terrifying is its huge size and the defense power of its sturdy carapace, which is almost no blood lost on its carapace for players who are generally level 5 or so.

"So, are we really going to face this monster?"

For Sally, Roddy, who single-handedly killed ten orc wolf cavalrymen, was already extremely powerful in his mind, and with the fact that she had killed dozens of creatures marked "extremely dangerous" in the books in one go last night, she already had an almost paranoid confidence in Roddy.

This is not at all like the usual objective and calm Sally, but she didn't notice it at this time.

"Specifically, it's me who is facing this monster," Roddy slashed down a thick tree trunk with a series of swings of his scimitar, sharpening it into a heavy, sharp spear, and hanging it above the trees with vines with all his might, "Wait a minute, and when I can't take care of you, you'd better use that dagger to chop everything that comes near you." ”

"Little scorpions, can't you trample them to death?"

"No, because these scorpions are about the length of your calf," Roddy gestured, "and will be stung by the scorpion's tail when you step on its head, maybe four stings will be deadly, so remember to run around the trunk." ”

"Walk around the tree, can't you climb the tree?"

"They crawl faster than you. ”

As he spoke, Roddy took out the fresh fish he had hunted the day before, threw it into the pit, thought about it, and walked around a few large trees in the woodland a few times to demonstrate to Sally: "Their disadvantage is that they are slow to move, and they can't keep up with you at all when they go around in circles, so this is enough for you to maneuver until I finish the fight." If... If you get stung by a tail pin, don't stop, close your eyes and run by touching the trunk of the tree, or you will be besieged for hallucinations. ”

Sally listened stunned, she felt that even a veteran hunter would not know this knowledge, and even if someone told her this, she would definitely think it was nonsense - but looking at Roddy's serious appearance, she still clenched the dagger in her hand and nodded.

"Okay, that's all I have to say, remember not to scream no matter what I see, or I'll be here for nothing, understand?"

"Yes."

Luo Di was about to turn around, but found that the girl in front of him seemed to be about to speak and stopped, stopped suspiciously, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What?"

"No—nothing. ”

Maybe it's over-stressed.

Unable to understand what she was thinking, Roddy shrugged his shoulders with his mind full of ways to deal with the boss, and then turned and walked into the darkness.

But he didn't hear Sally's pouting and complaining words behind her—

"Can't you even say a superfluous word? A sucker. ”

Roddy didn't know that he had done another stupid thing that was "destined to be lonely for a lifetime", and at this time, his mind was trying its best to recall the location of the nest where the scorpion king "Sekris" was located, and after finding the exact location in the dark, Roddy scanned his list of attributes-

HP: 150/150

Level: Level 3

Experience Points: 1468/1500

There are still 32 points of experience left to level up, Luo Di frowned, but he also understood that there was no way to do it, basically all the creatures that could provide experience in this copy were slashed by him, and he couldn't deal with the poisonous mosquitoes and bee swarms that infested during the day, and now he could only rely on himself.

As for taking out the boss, he is confident that there is still no problem. It's not as unpredictable as when dealing with orcs, but it's one of the few combat experiences in the game that you can practice over and over again.

In front of him was a dark cavern with a diameter of more than five meters, and Roddy stepped forward, grabbed an arrow made of a wooden stick, and shot into the cave casually - knowing that the arrow would not hit the target, Roddy naturally wanted to save the few arrows left.

This is the "blame-leading" step before the regular quest begins, and Roddy is familiar with it. But before he could turn and retreat, he suddenly smelled a pungent smell that spread, and this vision made Roddy frown slightly, because he had never encountered such a situation when he was playing a dungeon before.

I instinctively sensed that something was wrong, but the arrows that attracted the monster had already been shot into the dark cavern...

"Boom!"

The sudden impact sound indicated that the Scorpion King in the cave had been annoyed, and it was too late to say anything, the shaking of the ground raised a little sand, and Roddy immediately turned and retreated, heading towards the trap he had set up a hundred meters away.

"Shhhh

The scorpion king's hiss sounded, and it rushed out of the cave to declare its sovereignty angrily, and then began to look for the enemy who disturbed it, and when it saw the back of Roddy running quickly, it did not immediately pursue, but raised the giant claw in its hand violently, and smashed it to the ground!

"Phew!"

A magical and terrifying scene happened, and several rapidly expanding cracks suddenly appeared in the ground that was smashed, and extended in the direction where Roddy was - in the distance, Roddy heard the strange cracking sound on the ground, and instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and the running action was slammed, and his body dodged to the right side...

Waves of exploding air rushed out from beneath the ground and hit the trunk of a tree at Roddy's side!

"Boom!"

The giant tree that the three of them hugged burst through the middle, and the flying sawdust flew and almost knocked Roddy down.

"Damn... W-what the is this!?"

Roddy, who was running away like a child, was covered in cold sweat at the moment, and he lost the confidence he had just now, because he found a very serious problem.

Cyrix in Roddy's memory doesn't know how to use magic skills at all, and he doesn't have this murderous appearance - the Scorpion King in his memory is four meters long, but the crazy guy who is chasing Roddy right now is at least more than six meters!

The clawed and the scorpion tail are two sizes bigger than Syricus.

Could it be that at this point in time two years ago, the Scorpion King Cyrix had not yet "come to power"?

This inference made Roddy cold, but his legs were running faster than ever - there was no turning back from the bow, and it was too late to say anything now, because he had already judged that this guy might have exceeded level 12 or even a level 15 boss after he was born.

Roddy was about to run out of the alert range - but then he realized... Once the boss battle of this kind of plot dungeon starts, it is impossible to get out of the battle at all!
