The next morning, after preparing the magic berry and recovering his mana, Chen Mian entered his personal transit space to start the mission.

"Patient Predator (Normal): Dozens of slave miners died in an iron-rich mine that collapsed during mining in the Mars Hills region.

The iron ore mine manager piled up the corpses in an abandoned mine to save trouble, and the smell of carrion attracted patient predators, the scavengers.

After eating the accumulated corpses, the scavenger begins to hunt the miners, and the dark mines are its natural cover, and it seeks the light, slamming into the blind spot of the prey, killing the prey and dragging it away for storage.

A number of miners disappeared for no reason, and since then, legends of terrifying man-eating monsters have spread in the mines, and people are panicking.

Please help the miners with their worries. ”

Chen Mian carefully read the brief description of the mission, but this time he did not immediately leave the mission transit space to start the mission.

She pondered the information in the profile, looking for possible weaknesses of the scavenging insects, first of all, the scavengers that feed on carrion and therefore store corpses, and that they like to follow light sources to find prey.

This time, the mission location is likely to be in the mine, and Chen Mian secretly told himself to be more careful before choosing to enter the mission.

In a flash, Chen Mian appeared in a mine, she immediately put on mage armor on herself, and then leaned her back against the side of the mine to release Xiao Hei from the beast bag, telling it to enter the virtual state to help her pay attention to the surrounding movements.

After doing this, Chen Mian did not rush into the mine, but waited until his eyes adjusted to the dark environment and carefully observed the surroundings.

The walls of the cave are a little damp, the marks of excavation are not very new, there is no exposed ore around, and there is occasional scattered gravel on the ground.

It was very dark in the mine, and Chen Mian did not rashly use the light technique to avoid attracting scavengers to be attacked, she walked lightly against the cave wall.

After a while, she came to a fork in the road, and after hesitating for a moment, she gave up going deeper, choosing to wait here for the rabbit.

Chen Mian took out the coarse cloth coat that Old Tom had given him before, tied the cuffs of the clothes tightly, filled them with broken stones, and posed them in human shape against the cave wall.

Then he made a cut on his fingertip with a fanged dagger, and after smearing the blood on the coarse cloth clothes, he quickly healed the wound with a small treatment.

Then he used the water-making technique to condense the water balloon, washed away the bloody smell on his fingers, and sprinkled the blood around the dummy, and then Chen Mian lit a light at the head of the dummy, and returned to the mine where she walked.

Chen Mian asked Xiao Hei to hide more than ten meters behind her, staring at the movement behind her, screaming if she found something abnormal, and she herself looked at the glimmer of light reflected at the fork in front of her.

In this way, when there are foreign objects in the front two mines, shadows will be reflected, and the back mines will be guarded by Xiao Hei to prevent sudden attacks.

Soon, Chen Mian saw a huge shadow appear at the fork in the road, seemingly stopping at the dummy, and Chen Mian immediately activated the Treant Summoning Ring.

A tree man appeared in front of Chen Mian on a crawling surface, the mine was only four or five meters high, and the tree man bent most of his body, making it very inconvenient to move.

However, Chen Mian only needs it as a buffer, this tree man is different from the owl Gary summoned by the previous level 1 summoning ally technique, he has no self-awareness, he can only follow the attack instructions of the owner of the ring, and he can be resurrected in the ring after a week of death, and it is just right to be cannon fodder.

As the Treant appeared in the mine, the sound of the rubbing of branches and leaves quickly caught the attention of the creature at the fork in the tunnel, and it twisted and crawled quickly towards it.

Chen Mian finally saw the appearance of the scavenging insect clearly, like a huge silkworm chrysalis, dozens of pairs of slender feet like centipede legs supported the huge body moving rapidly, a body full of rancid mucus, huge black eyes, mouthparts full of thin fangs, four tentacles more than two meters long wriggling in front of him, and four tentacles wrapped around a humanoid object.

She didn't want to come into contact with the super-disgusting-looking mollusk creature at all, and a smooth layer of grease appeared in front of the scavenging insect, moving too fast to stop and rush into the greasy area.

Dozens of pairs of thin feet slipped wildly on the grease, and their rounded bodies fell to the ground, rushing towards Chen Mian at a faster speed in the inertia of moving forward.

Fortunately, there was a tree man in front of it, although it was inconvenient, but it was firmly rooted in the middle of the mine, stretching out branches to cross into a dense net, narrowly blocking its collision, and many branches and leaves broke in response.

Chen Mian raised his hand to cast a spell, and a looming gray ray hit the body of the scavenger through the gap in the branch, the scavenger weakened a lot, and the force of the impact was reduced, but the sharp mouthparts were still trying to bite the tree man.

The Treants summoned by the ring were much weaker than the Bloodthirsty Enlightenment Trees, vulnerable to the sharp teeth of the scavengers.

Seeing that the scavenger was about to break through the defenses of the tree man, Chen Mian quickly retreated, and released two magic missiles in succession, and the transparent missiles passed through the branches and leaves to accurately hit the tentacles of the scavenger's head.

The tentacles of the scavenging insects shrank sharply, as if they had been greatly damaged, Chen Mian took the opportunity to let the tree man wrap around the scavenger with all his strength, and a greasy spell splashed it, and then with a burning hand, the entire tree quickly ignited, and the flames quickly spread to the scavenging insect.

As the Treant died and disappeared, the scavenging insect's thin feet were almost burned out, and the surface of the slime-covered body was also roasted and cracked, rolling on the ground in pain, Chen Mian continued to throw a burning hand, and the cone-shaped flames covered the scavenging insect.

"Help......

Chen Mian faintly heard the faint cry for help, and she remembered the humanoid creature she had seen before wrapped in ordinary tentacles, "Are you still alive?" ”

She quickly removed the burning hand, and used the Fortune Watching Technique to look at the prey of the carrion-eating insect that was still firmly wrapped in tentacles even after being burned, and found that he did still have faint signs of life, but he was already dying.

Chen Mian guessed that he might have just been stunned by the scavenger at first and planned to drag it to a safe place to kill again, but he met Chen Mian halfway and regained consciousness under the repeated fire, even though the tentacles of the scavenger helped it block some of the flames, but it also suffered great damage.

Chen Mian was anxious to think of a way to save him, she only had 7.5 mage mana left, and she could only cast one more level 1 spell.

Time is urgent, think about it, Chen Mian finally slowly approached the scavenger within five meters, and used hypnosis, fortunately, the scavenger was already very weak, or the will was not high, and the hypnotism was successful.

Chen Mian hurriedly let the scavenger loosen its tentacles, and gently moved the person in front of him with the hand of a mage, and a golden positive energy appeared in his hand and injected into the body of the miner who was killed, but only the burns were healed, and he still did not wake up.

He tried to use the detection toxicity test again, and found that he was infected with paralyzing toxoids, Chen Mian took out the antidote he had prepared and poured it on him.

After waiting for a while, the miner still hadn't woken up, and Chen Mian used the Fortune Watching Technique to observe his state again, and he was already dead.

Chen Mian was stunned for a while, "I was obviously saved, why did I die?" ”

At this time, the effect of hypnosis passed, the goodwill caused by hypnotism disappeared, and the scavenger did not remember how it was hypnotized, and regained its hostility towards Chen Mian, it lost its fine feet, and could only squirm with difficulty, and it stretched out its charred tentacles, wanting revenge.

Chen Mian was blaming himself for the death of absenteeism with his head down, and did not notice the crisis, but fortunately, Xiao Hei discovered its intentions in time and teleported Chen Mian to more than ten meters away, and the change of position brought her back to her senses.

Cheer up and quickly run away from the scavenging insects, which are inconvenient to move and difficult to catch up.

Let Xiao Hei be vigilant, Chen Mian sat down cross-legged and recovered his mana, and went back to find the scavenger again, still the same place where he fought just now, and the scavenger stayed there motionless.

Chen Mian used the Fortune Observation Technique to detect that it was also dead, and it was likely that it used its last strength to strike at her.

After moving the miners farther away, burying them with rocks, and bowing deeply, Chen Mian chose the settlement task and left here.
