Chapter 48: The Troglodyte's Spoils

Last month's task was completed very quickly, and now Chen Mian has not done a task for half a month, she has grown a lot with the help of the primary simulation training space, and she is ready to carry out new tasks.

Of the three missions this month, only the "troglodyte's spoils" can be inferred from the mission name that the location is most likely on land, and Chen Mian plans to do this task first.

After checking his equipment items as usual, Chen Mian entered the mission transit space.

"Troglodyte's spoils (ordinary grade): Baiyan Village is located in a rocky forest far away from the river, and the underground spring water in the Qingquan Cave behind the village is the only source of drinking water for the villagers.

On the way to find a new hunting ground for the troglodyte leader Alpha in the dark region, a skinny troglodyte grabber accidentally falls into a thin rock crevice.

It crawled slowly along the crevasse, and finally crawled out of the clear spring hole at the other end of the crevasse before starving to death.

The cave dwelling is like a paradise, where food is automatically delivered to the door every day, and gradually it is getting bigger and bigger, and the amount of food is getting bigger and bigger.

Since then, the villagers of Rock Village have become more and more difficult to get water, and there are no deaths, and the adventurers who occasionally pass by to challenge them have also died here, and a lot of villagers and adventurers' belongings have accumulated in Qingquan Cave.

Please solve the cave-dwelling monster entrenched in the clear spring cave. ”

After reading the brief description of the mission carefully, Chen Mian chose to enter the mission.

For a moment, Chen Mian only felt a cool breeze blowing in his face, and the surroundings were pitch black, and he couldn't see anything, only the sound of ticking water.

After Chen Mian put on a mage armor for himself, he took out the worm-eye night vision goggles and put them on, so that he could see the surrounding situation clearly.

It was a huge cave, about two or three stories high, with countless stalactites of all sizes lined up in a staggered manner, and water dripping down the stone pillars, like octopus tentacles covered with suckers.

The cave was not empty, the stalagmites and stone curtains were in various shapes, and they also blocked the view, Chen Mian released Xiao Hei from the beast bag to help guard the surroundings.

She walked carefully inside, and soon saw a small waterhole of three or four square meters, the rocks on the side of the pool were relatively flat, thinking that there were often villagers here to get water, Chen Mian approached to see the depth of the pool.

"Xiao Mian, be careful", Xiao Hei's anxious voice came.

Hearing Xiao Hei's reminder, Chen Mian also heard the sound of something cutting through the air overhead, and she didn't have time to take a look, so she quickly dodged back.

A huge milky gray worm hung upside down from a stalactite pillar, its body soft and elastic, opening four thick tentacles with sharp barbs around its head's mouthparts and biting down on Chen Mian's head.

Chen Mian opened the Sanctuary Technique as he dodged, and the mage's armor had just been shattered by the barbs on the tentacles, and the golden barrier enveloped Chen Mian.

At her current level, the Sanctuary can last for 20 seconds, and under the protection of the Sanctuary, she will not be attacked directly against her, but she will not be able to attack either.

Taking advantage of this time, she quickly moved away from the edge of the pool, and while recovering herself with a mage armor, she observed the worm with information perception.

"Race: Caveman Grabber

Health: 100%

Attributes: Strength 16, Agility 16, Constitution 11, Intelligence 1, Perception 16

Skill: Rock Camouflage; dark vision; soft body; multiple attacks; ”

Sure enough, this worm is a burrowing monster, it is a physical attack monster, no mana, strength, agility and perception are relatively high, and intelligence is very low.

After seeing its Rock Camouflage skill, Chen Mian understood why she didn't find the Cave Snatcher climbing on the stone pillar, because this skill allowed it to hide well in the rocky landscape, making it difficult to spot.

Cave-dwelling grabbers can see in the dark, have a soft body, and are highly resistant to simple physical attacks such as slashing, blunt hits, and piercing.

The main multi-attack is its tentacles and the pointed beak on its mouthparts, which can attack continuously, and also has a piercing effect.

As Chen Mian retreated, the caveman monster squirmed rapidly on the stalactite stone pillar, followed closely, its speed in the cave was far less than Chen Mian, and several times it stretched out its tentacles to attack Chen Mian, all of which were offset by the Sanctuary Technique.

Seeing that the Sanctuary Technique was about to disappear, Chen Mian activated the Treant Summoning Ring, which was not restricted by the Sanctuary Technique, and a tall and low-level Treant appeared in the cave.

The troglodyte grabber finds its prey blocked by the sudden appearance of the Treant, its wide, petal-like tentacles open to reveal its dark red beak and bite the Treant.

Only then did Chen Mian disperse the Sanctuary Technique, and the energy gathered in his hand, and the transparent magic missile struck at the caveman's gaping mouthpiece, right into its mouth.

Its tentacles retracted violently, and its entire upper body twisted violently, falling from the stalactite pillar for a moment to react.

At this time, Chen Mian's second magic missile was ready, and it struck its body, and the white flesh exploded, bleeding milky white slime.

But instead of hurting as much as it did when it attacked the inside of its mouthparts, it quickly took control of its body, trying to avoid the treemen who were in its way, and passed through the middle of the stone pillar next to it to attack Chen Mian.

Chen Mian saw its intentions and let the tree man entangle and block, but the body of the cave man was too soft and slippery to always break free, so Chen Mian had to let the tree man weave the branches into a fine net to block its progress.

After colliding a few times and finding it difficult to break through, the caveman chose to use the intricate stone pillars in the cave to pass through the treemen.

In the cavern, it moved much faster than the Dryad, and finally managed to get close to Sleep from the side, while the Treant was still some distance away from where it had rushed from.

As Chen Mian retreated, he released a colorful jet, and the brilliant colored light enveloped the caveman snatcher, and it was knocked down and fell into a dizzy state, and its forward momentum was interrupted, blocked by the belated tree man.

Chen Mian then hit it with a debilitating ray, and shot two more magic missiles that hit the wound that the previous magic missile had broken, finally causing irreversible damage to it.

The troglodyte grabber's movement speed was severely slowed, and even without the treeman, it could not catch up with Chen Mian's speed, and it raised the intention of retreating, and retreated towards the cave in a hurry.

Chen Mian retracted the tree man, chasing the caveman from afar, occasionally releasing a debilitating ray to accelerate its death.

The caveman grabbed the monster more and more slowly, and finally fell to the ground.

After Chen Mian used the Fortune Observation Technique to confirm that it was indeed dead, he walked a few meters deeper in the direction of the caveman monster's escape, and found a crack that was one meter high and only half a meter wide at its widest point.

The crack was bottomless, and the small puddle outside was littered with a large number of copper, silver, and a small amount of gold, as well as some rusted weapons and other debris.

Chen Mian understood that this might be the crack that the caveman crawled over at the beginning, but it was too easy to hunt humans here, and it was getting fatter and fatter, and it couldn't get back in.

Even so, it has been bringing its captured prey here to eat, which has allowed it to accumulate these human belongings here.
