Chapter 236: Cyclops

After turning two corners and walking for a short time, Chu Jing and the three of them saw the adventure group that was fighting with the monsters.

It seems that all the adventure groups that go deep into the underground ruins are larger than the Tide adventure group, after all, the monsters here are already very strong, and the danger factor of a single adventurer here has increased dramatically.

The group had six members, four men and two women.

One of the females is an archer-ranger, and there is also a female swordsman.

The monsters they were fighting were four large lizards.

Chu Jing and the three of them were far away and did not get close, so as not to be considered to rob monsters.

"These are poisonous lizards, and in addition to their size, they also spew highly poisonous liquids, making them difficult monsters to deal with. Lian introduced Chu Jing that she already knew how shallow Chu Jing's knowledge was, as if she had just run out of the deep mountains and old forests.

"Poisonous lizard?"

The poisonous lizard is half a meter tall and more than two meters long, and the scale armor on its body is still gray and inky under the light of the fire, and it is difficult to be found in the shadows, and the tongue is three meters long, and the main means of attack are the tongue and claws, and there is a dark green liquid on the ground, which should be the venom sprayed out by the poisonous lizard before.

Xu Qian saw that the adventure group that was attacked by four poisonous lizards and gradually fell into the downwind, her fists clenched tightly, as if she was secretly cheering.

Xu Qian turned around and whispered to Chu Jing, "That adventurer seems to have been hit with venom, shall we go and help?"

Her eyesight was far stronger than Lian's, and she saw that the leather armor of an adventurer's left arm was corroded, and her movements were a little sluggish, which should have taken an antidote, otherwise she might have died by now.

Lian shook her head lightly and said softly: "Adventurers don't like people to interfere with their hunting monsters, there are two rangers in their team, they should have noticed us a long time ago, and if they need help, they will naturally call for help." ”

Lian had a point, but Xu Qian was still not at ease.

The strongest of the six adventurers were two swordsmen, a man and a woman, because they were underground, they held a two-foot-long short sword in their hands, which was much shorter than Chu Jing's sword.

Ordinary swordsmen are accustomed to the big sword, monsters generally rely on brute force, the big sword can be attacked and defended, it is a very useful weapon, and the long sword is only more effective for humans.

These two swordsmen are also easy to use, and one of them fought a poisonous lizard, but he still had the upper hand.

But it wasn't easy for the remaining four to deal with two poisonous lizards.

Two of them are rangers, ranged archers, who can interfere and support, but they can't compete head-on with poisonous lizards.

Of the other two swordsmen, one was wounded by Venom and was not as agile as before, while the other seemed to be weak and very unskilled in using a short sword.

"Wangba, we can't delay any longer, there are other adventurers nearby, deal with them early!" the female swordsman shouted to another swordsman who was fighting the poisonous lizard alone.

The swordsman named Wang Ba felt a little bitter in his heart, if he could really kill this poisonous lizard, he would have done it a long time ago, why delay until now.

The scale armor of the poisonous lizard is naturally much worse than the skin of the troll, but it is not easy to penetrate, and these poisonous lizards are also very flexible, and there is venom in their mouths, so he does not dare to be careless.

"Overlord Flower, don't just talk about me, you quickly get rid of the poisonous lizard, don't forget, your team member is injured. Wang Ba responded.

The female swordsman known as the 'Overlord Flower' frowned deeply, although the swordsman sprinkled the antidote on the injured location in time and stopped the bleeding, but after all, it was not a long-term solution, and the venom of the poisonous lizard could only be thoroughly interpreted with a special antidote.

The female swordsman saw the tongue spit out by the poisonous lizard, and the short sword was thrown out directly, just nailing the long tongue to the wall.

"Look at you still spraying poison!"

The female swordsman pulled out two daggers from her waist, stepped on the wall, and jumped on the lizard from the side, and the two daggers spat out a three-foot sword and plunged heavily into the top of the lizard's head.

Xu Qian exclaimed in a low voice: "Sword Master, and it is a Sword Master who is about to break through to the Great Sword Master!"

If the sword is the symbol of the sword master, then the sword qi is the symbol of the great sword master, the dagger can shoot a three-foot sword light, and this female swordsman is extremely close to the realm of the great sword master.

The vitality of the poisonous lizard was extremely tenacious, and even if it was pierced through the head by the sword, it still struggled to throw the female swordsman off her back.

Fortunately, after shaking a few times, he still collapsed to the ground.

The female swordsman also gasped heavily, it seemed that her strength was not as powerful as she had appeared, but it was like a secret method from various sects in the Divine Continent, temporarily improving her strength.

Instead of helping Wang Ba, the female swordsman turned to the poisonous lizard that injured the swordsman.

"Sister Hua, are you okay?" asked the female ranger with concern.

"It's okay, Cai Ming, you step back and rest first, this is only for me to deal with. ”

The wounded swordsman took a few steps back and sat down on the ground, his face pale and sometimes blue, as if he had had attacked venom.

He took out another packet of medicinal powder, gritted his teeth and sprinkled it on his left shoulder, cold sweat broke out in pain, just now he simply sprinkled antidotes and hemostatic drugs, and he didn't even have time to bandage it, and now he has time to seriously bandage it with his right hand.

The female ranger resisted this feeling of wanting to help, pulled out the bow and arrow, and shot at another poisonous lizard, the swordsman over there could not support it for a long time, but with the help of the male ranger, it was barely supported.

Only now has the situation stabilized.

"Let's go, they should be able to handle it on their own. Lian said.

Just now they stayed to watch the battle, and it can be said that they were worried that the adventure group would be in danger, but now that the six of them have the strength to hunt three poisonous lizards, if they stay any longer, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Xu Qian nodded, they originally came over to take a look, and they didn't mean anything else.

Bypassing the poisonous lizard and those adventurers, Chu Jing and the three of them came to an even more empty area.

The vigilance of the crowd was raised again.

If there were monsters here, it would be huge, and the trolls were sleeping in a relatively empty abandoned building.

"Here!" Xu Qian suddenly shouted in a low voice, "Look, there are some traces here." ”

Chu Jing looked over, and under the dim firelight, he actually couldn't see it clearly, as if some uneven potholes existed on the ground.

"Is this an adventurer or a monster?"

"Nonsense, of course it's a monster, if it's an adventurer, I'll definitely turn around and leave. Xu Qian felt that Chu Jing was questioning her business level, she graduated from a professional college, and she had a clear distinction between these things.

"It's big?" Lian's expression was unusually solemn, and she asked Xu Qian, "What do you think it will be?"

Xu Qian still shook her head after careful observation, "I don't know, it's definitely not one." ”

"Trolls are rarely in groups, they should be giants or something. ”

Chu Jing was puzzled, the giants are still divided into varieties?

"Are there a lot of giants?"

Lian nodded, and said in a serious tone: "There are many kinds of giants, generally cyclops, red giants, green giants, and stone giants are the most common, and other giants such as water giants and flame giants can also be encountered, and this underground, the general life is ......"

"Cyclops!"

Xu Qian exclaimed!

Lian hurriedly looked over, "What's new?"

Xu Qian pointed to a round stone plate and said, "There are traces of polishing here, the cyclops already have the rudiments of civilization, and it must be the cyclops who can live underground." ”

Goblins have small swords made by themselves, but they are just chirping crookedly, and they don't seem to have words, so Chu Jing doesn't think they are a race.

The same seems to be true of the Cyclops, who know how to polish stone tools simply, but humans don't see them as savages, but as mere man-eating monsters.

Lian pulled Xu Qian and shouted at Chu Jing: "Let's get out of here quickly, cyclops are generally seven or eight living together, they are not something the three of us can deal with, withdraw first!"

It was a pity that he couldn't see the true face of the cyclops, but Chu Jing didn't want to put Xu Qian and Lian in danger because of himself.

With the strength he showed now, he wouldn't reveal anything if he was fighting a monster that was more powerful than a troll, but in the face of a group of powerful monsters, he might not be able to protect others.

However, just as they began to retreat towards the passage, there was a sudden sound of huge footsteps from behind, this huge sound was only for Xu Qian and Chu Jing, and only a little sound for Lian.

"It's late......" Lian was a little panicked.

Cyclops are man-eating monsters, although most monsters will kill adventurers, but there are not many cannibals, for them, humans are more likely to invade their territory, and the delicious food is far more delicious than human flesh and blood.

Cyclops are different, they have a penchant for human flesh, and there are often cases of Cyclops actively attacking villages.

However, this also caused their numbers to become even rarer, as every Cyclops that attacked the village was eventually wiped out by powerful adventurers.

The cyclops that live here are still rare monsters.

"It's fine, only two. Xu Qian was also worried, but when she noticed that there were only two cyclops, she immediately relaxed.

Cyclops are not as strong as trolls, but they live in groups, so they are more difficult to deal with than trolls.

Chu Jing also kept his composure, even if it was a dragon, he didn't feel afraid before he determined the strength of the dragon, as the so-called ignorant people are fearless, Chu Jing has no fear of monsters.

Lian also calmed down and said in a low voice: "Wait a minute, I will use the lighting powder directly, the eyes of the cyclops are a weakness, Xu Qian must seize the opportunity." ”

Xu Qian nodded solemnly, put the arrow on the bow, and waited intently.

Lian first sprinkled the lighting powder on the wall, chanted the spell in the air, but did not cast a spell, and the three of them extinguished all the torches together.

The footsteps were getting closer, followed by crooked moans.

"It's coming. Xu Qian said in a low voice.

"Bright!"

After Lian shouted, the wall immediately emitted a soft white light, which was only a soft light for Chu Jing and the three of them, but for the monsters who had lived underground for a long time, it was like the blazing light brought by looking directly at the sun.

Xu Qian didn't miss this opportunity, and a sharp arrow shot out, aiming at the one-eyed of a cyclops.

Chu Jing didn't attack, because the cyclops were still relatively far away from them, and the smell of people on Chu Jing's body might have aroused the cyclops' vigilance.

Chu Jing could see clearly, these two cyclops were about the same height as the trolls, with only one huge round eye on their foreheads, hideous teeth, and a bare head, although they were called giants, they were still very different from humans.

They also carry two improvised rattan nets on their backs, which are filled with goblins, and one of them is a large one, which is the Goblin King, and they attack a goblin tribe.

In the underground ruins, goblins seem to be at the bottom of the food chain.

Xu Qian's arrow hit the big round eyes of a cyclops, and the painful cyclops roared loudly, and the walls of the entire ruins fell dust.

Another cyclops also covered its eyes, and it was stabbed by the sudden appearance of light.

Lian shouted, "Their companions may hear the sound and rush over, we must fight quickly!"

Chu Jing suddenly kicked the ground hard, and his body shot out, and the three-foot long sword with a half-foot sword slash down.

"Whoosh!"

The cyclops covered his eyes, his head completely separated from his body.

"Well done!" Xu Qian pointed to the blind giant, "and one more." ”

At this moment, the three of them heard the sound of a large man running quickly behind them, and knew that it was the Cyclops who came to their aid.

Lian hurriedly shouted, "Don't worry about the other one, hurry up!"

Chu Jing thought for a moment and gave up the idea of dealing with the blind giant, unless the head was cut off with a sword, it would be difficult for this kind of big man to kill it quickly.

As he left, he picked up the Cyclops' fallen head, slashed through the vine net containing the goblin, and ran quickly outside.

The goblin escaped from the rattan net, and he didn't care about the goblin king, he chose a direction, and he ran around, but he delayed a little time for Chu Jing.

"Roaring ......"

"Roaring ......" ......

There were several roars of cyclops behind them, but the narrow passage did not allow these big men to pass through, so they had to stay behind helplessly.

"Hoo ......"

Xu Qian exhaled a big breath and said with a smile: "It was really dangerous just now, if we were kept by the cyclops, we would probably die there." ”

"You're almost dead, still laughing?" Chu Jing didn't understand Xu Qian's brain circuit.

Xu Qian smiled even more happily, "Isn't this not dead?"

She pointed to the head of the cyclops in Chu Jing's hand again, and said happily: "The price of the cyclops is higher than that of the troll, one hundred and fifty besos, we earned it." ”

Lian remembered to bring out the head of the cyclops to Chu Jing, and with a smile on her eyebrows, she said, "It's been a long time since we came down, let's go out and rest first." ”

The average adventurer will retreat after the harvest, and there is too much loot, and there is no space equipment, which is a very serious burden.

In battle, the Cyclops head worth one hundred and fifty Besso will definitely be reluctant to throw away, but if you hold it, you won't be able to exert all your strength, and it is really a dilemma.

Chu Jing and the three of them returned the same way, but they didn't see the six adventurers, but the bodies of the four poisonous lizards were still lying there.

"They took the venom glands, the scales on the top of the head and back, the claws, and these are the most valuable things for the lizard, and the scales on the top of the head are proof of killing the lizard. ”

Lian explained to Chu Jing.

Looking at the dissected poisonous lizards, Chu Jing even had a trace of sympathy for them, but when he weighed the cyclops head in his hand, he didn't seem to be a kind person.

Even in zoos, tigers and lions that hurt or could hurt people are killed directly, let alone in the wild, or completely unprotected monsters.

Chu Jing is very interested in maintaining ecological diversity, but she does not have much thought about protecting it.

If he could, he would build the most complete zoo, and select hundreds of all kinds of demon beasts, monsters and alien races to breed, as for the rest, the ultimate king did quite well, at least the people from the God Continent were rarely persecuted from outside the same race.

On the way, I met some adventurers on the return trip, most of them were 351 teams, some had gains, some were empty-handed, and some came back alone with injuries.

Even if they leave their companions and come back alone, they will not easily reveal where they have encountered any monsters, but will sell the news to powerful adventurers at a high price, which can not only avenge their companions, but also get a Beso.

Chu Jing also noticed that some people were not injured or gained, but they were in a hurry, as if something big had happened.

Xu Qian and Lian couldn't tell why for this strange situation.

When you come outside, the sudden sunlight is so warm and bright, and it is more relaxing than the underground oppressive and full of crises, or the ground.

The head of the cyclops had long been in a bag, and Chu Jing didn't want to provoke other adventurers to covet it, even if he didn't come to rob it, steal it, and cheat it.

The soldier who exchanged the reward turned out to be the same one, and the time when Chu Jing and the three of them came out happened to be staggered with the time of his shift change.

"You ...... I didn't expect the three of them to have such strength at such a young age, and the goblins were also down, and the trolls may be a fluke, but Cyclops, you are making me look at young adventurers with admiration. ”

The soldier who exchanged the reward sighed and handed one hundred and fifty besos to Chu Jing.

Chu Jing watched the endless stream of adventurers entering and exiting the underground ruins, and couldn't help but ask the soldiers, "Which big man does this belong to?" ”

The soldier didn't hide it too much, after all, all the adventurers who came and went had this question, and he smiled: "This is a secret, I can only tell you that we are from the royal city." ”

In fact, there is not much difference between saying this and not saying it, the powerful people on the island of Luolie are basically in the royal city, and the soldiers are also in the royal city, and the various villages except for the soldiers sent are basically hired adventurers to maintain basic order.

"Then tell me what the big names are in Wangcheng. Chu Jing said again.

The soldier was stunned for a moment, laughed at Chu Jing's question, and replied: "Of course, there are kings and ministers, as well as nobles, who can be regarded as big people besides them." ”

Chu Jing suddenly understood that the matter of this ruin must have been inquired about by the king of Luolie Island, and even he was the one who hired the adventurer behind it.

That's where it gets interesting.
