Chapter 238 Chasing
The strength of the manticore lion is very strong, and the two of them can only parry in the face of the manticore, and they can't talk about counterattacking at all.
In order not to expose his strength, Chu Jing has also been paddling, causing the situation to be bad.
The stone thorns arranged by the lotus have some effect, but the effect is not particularly good, and the stone thorns that are not too thick can easily break under the scorpion lion's rampage.
"Chu Jing, be careful!" Lian suddenly reminded Chu Jing loudly.
Chu Jing had long noticed that the manticore lion was fighting his idea, this beast was still a little spiritual, and he knew who was the biggest threat to it, but he didn't know who it was facing.
The scorpion lion got rid of the overlord flower and the two of them, and pounced on Chu Jing suddenly.
Chu Jing was not afraid of danger, his steps were lightly stroked, and the person had already retreated a few meters away.
Seeing the manticore lion flying above him, Chu Jing couldn't help but sneer, and the long sword lit up with a half-foot sword light, and was about to stab at the soft belly of the manticore.
Lian shouted loudly again: "Be careful of its scorpion tail!"
Hearing this, Chu Jing stopped stabbing the long sword, and suddenly felt a strong wind blowing in his face, and Chu Jing saw a black shadow, which was the poisonous tail of the manticore.
Good guy, Chu Jing forgot that this big lion with bat wings is best at stinging people with a scorpion tail.
If Chu Jing was only a sword master's strength, he would definitely have been tricked now, but his strength far surpassed that of the sword master, surpassed the great sword master, and reached the Lingxu realm, which seemed to be called the realm of the sword saint on Luolie Island.
Chu Jing retracted his sword and returned his hand, flipped his hand, and collided with the scorpion tail of the scorpion lion, making a metallic clashing sound.
Even with the blessing of the sword, Chu Jing still slashed this highly poisonous scorpion tail.
It's kind of interesting.
Chu Jing pretended to staggered back three steps, turned back to Lian and smiled reluctantly: "I'm fine, this guy is a bit powerful." ”
Lian and Xu Qian were relieved at this time, but Lian was even more suspicious of Chu Jing's strength.
Chu Jing really didn't notice the poisonous tail of the scorpion lion just now, but in milliseconds, he reacted, changed his move in an instant, and easily cracked the scorpion tail, unless Chu Jing was a genius in martial arts, he couldn't have such a adaptability.
If Chu Jing is not a genius, but a hidden strength, then ...... It is too rare for such a young Great Sword Master to be found.
Overlord Flower and Wang Ba also rushed to Chu Jing's side.
The overlord flower sword was in front of him, staring at the manticore lion hovering in the sky looking for an opportunity, and whispered to Chu Jing and Wang Ba: "This scorpion lion is even more powerful than imagined, you can't be careless, the three of us are back to back, be careful." ”
Chu Jing and Wang Ba nodded, leaned together, and formed a triangular formation.
However, this formation is actually not beneficial to Chu Jing, Wang Ba and Overlord Hua use big swords, which can be up to one foot wide, while Chu Jing only uses a three-foot long sword, which is no more than two inches wide, and cannot be used for defense.
But Chu Jing didn't care, it was just a manticore, even if he limited his strength, he had many ways to kill it alone.
The manticore's big eyes observed the three main forces below, and suddenly looked at Xu Qian and the others, those people who had just shot and injured themselves, those were the main targets that the manticore should retaliate against.
Xu Qian's brows tightened, after shooting the first wave of arrows, she didn't make another move, afraid of attracting the attention of the manticore, they didn't have the powerful melee ability of a swordsman.
"Damn, I feel like it's going to do something to us!"
Chang Le and Dai Yun were also very nervous, the armor-piercing arrow had already been placed on the bow, ready to raise the bow to shoot at any time.
"Ren Hang, come over a little. ”
Dai Yun shouted to Ren Hang in a low voice, they are an adventure group, and there is only one swordsman here.
Ren Hang's body trembled a little, not because of excitement, but because of fear, he had not joined the adventure group for a long time, and his strength was extremely average, the last time he dealt with the poisonous lizard, his performance was not as good as the injured Cai Ming.
Chu Jing and Overlord Hua also saw the manticore's intentions, and their defensive array did work, but it made the manticore give up attacking them and instead deal with the back row.
Therefore, the tank should not just come out of the flesh, so that the enemy has no desire to attack at all, isn't this a disaster?
"Whoosh!"
The scorpion lion circled and swooped down, targeting Xu Qian and the others.
Chu Jing and the three of them had already dispersed the triangle formation and began to defend themselves.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Xu Qian has experienced several battles, and although the manticore is stronger than the monsters before her, her heart has also grown a lot.
Three armor-piercing arrows were shot, but unfortunately the manticore had long expected to be shot by the bow and arrows, and his body no longer flew in a straight line, so he shook and dodged the three armor-piercing arrows.
Xu Qian hurriedly pulled out the second armor-piercing arrow.
At this time, Lotus sprinkled a packet of alchemy powder towards the sky.
"Hidden in the black fog of chaos, please listen to my prayers, please fulfill my wishes, Fog Hide!"
The alchemy powder turned into a black-gray mist, instantly hiding the five of them.
Although the fog made Xu Qian and the others unable to see the location of the manticore, it was more beneficial to them.
The three rangers quickly jumped out of place using their nimble bodies.
The swordsman named Ren Hang seemed to be too nervous, he didn't even react, and stood stupidly in place.
Seeing that the mantiquon was surrounded by mist below, his speed couldn't help but slow down, and the manticore, who was not low in IQ, was afraid that there would be a trap below, or suddenly burst out of countless stone stabs.
However, the mist was not difficult for the manticore lion to deal with, and with a strong flap of wings, a big breath came out of his mouth, and the mist dissipated a lot in an instant.
When the fog cleared a bit, the manticore saw a figure still standing in place and immediately pounced.
Wang Ba also saw that figure, the big sword was very obvious, and hurriedly shouted: "Ren Hang be careful, the manticore is above you!"
They were certainly not as fast as the manticore, and the overlord flower threw out two daggers to stop the manticore.
Chu Jing originally wanted to expose his strength to that person, but when he heard that it was Ren Hang, a person he didn't know at all, he kept his hand.
Ren Hang is a swordsman, and he has a big sword to protect himself, so he shouldn't be too seriously injured.
Ren Hang was stunned for a moment, and immediately blocked the big sword above his head and made a defensive posture.
The corners of the scorpion lion's mouth showed a humanized smile, and the two claws slapped the sword body of the big sword fiercely, and jumped into the air again, and the scorpion tail hung upside down, cutting through Ren Hang's chest, and the speed flew up.
When Wang Ba and the others rushed over, the manticore had already flown into the air.
"Ren Hang, how are you?" Wang Ba picked up Ren Hang, who was pale and sweated a lot on his forehead, and asked loudly.
Overlord Flower raised her head and looked at the manticore, shouting towards the remaining mist, "Chang Le, quickly bring the antidote!"
The battle just now only happened in an instant, Lian, Xu Qian and the others were still hidden in the fog, not daring to show their heads, even if they heard that Ren Hang outside might be in danger, they did not show their heads.
They're all ranged crispy, melee combat doesn't help much, and they can even cause innocent sacrifices.
As an adventurer, you must always put your own life first, and every adventurer has put life and death aside when they decide to become an adventurer, and sacrificing their lives for other adventurers is definitely not something worth advocating.
However, Chang Le heard the voice of the overlord flower and knew that there was no danger for the time being, so he hurriedly trotted out and took out the antidote on his body.
The manticore lion naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and immediately flew down, the goal was to support Ren Hang's Wang Ba.
Overlord Hua immediately blocked it with a big sword and stood in front of Wang Ba, "Chu Jing, the two of us go first!"
Chu Jing didn't answer, the long sword was in his hand, and his body jumped and stabbed towards the manticore.
Chu Jing's sword was only half a foot long, but for some reason, the manticore felt extremely dangerous, and he didn't dare to make contact with the half-foot sword.
Chu Jing and Overlord Flower, Overlord Flower takes a strong and heavy route, each sword has a thousand powers, but Chu Jing is dexterous and changeable.
The two of them attacked and defended, and the manticore really couldn't do anything about them.
Chang Le ran to Ren Hang and handed a small packet of antidote to Wang Ba.
Chang Le and Ren Hang just met in the underground ruins, and the combination of the Flower Adventure Group and the Wind Whisper Adventure Group made the two know each other and did not have a deep friendship, but seeing Ren Hang's miserable appearance now, Chang Le was also a little distressed.
The scorpion tail of the manticore did not disembowel Ren Hang, but only cut through Ren Hang's iron armor, and a half-foot-long wound on his chest.
Originally, for a martial artist, this kind of injury was not fatal, but the scorpion tail of the scorpion lion was highly poisonous, and it was this toxin that made Ren Hang very weak and difficult to breathe.
Chang Le whispered to Wang Ba: "This antidote is just an ordinary antidote, for the poison of the scorpion lion...... I'm afraid it won't work......"
Wang Ba sprinkled the antidote on Ren Hang's wound, and when he saw his pale and frail face, he shouted loudly: "Alchemist, where is the alchemist?"
Lian's brows furrowed, and she walked over slowly, she said, "I have already said before, the poison of the manticore lion must be prepared with specific materials, and I can't solve it at all. ”
Before entering the underground ruins, the eight people had discussed this problem, and the most powerful thing about the manticore was not the ability to fly, but the highly poisonous scorpion tail, which could basically be said to be incurable.
The manticore is not a common monster, if you really want to be stung by the scorpion lion, then it is not far from death, and there is no time for antidote treatment.
However, the manticore's poison is not incurable, and the alchemist still refines a special recipe to detoxify the manticore's poison.
Wang Ba has a deep affection for this group member, which is rare among adventurers.
Wang Ba pleaded to Lian: "Aren't you an alchemist, you must have a way, Ren Hang is from the same village as me, I will be responsible for him if I bring him out, I can't let him die here in vain." ”
Lian shook her head silently, it's not that she doesn't want to save it, but she really doesn't have enough materials, not only she doesn't have it here, but she doesn't even have it in Meilin Village, and the poison of the manticore needs a lot of unique alchemy materials to prepare an antidote.
Chu Jing was fighting against the manticore, and he was paying attention to Ren Hang and them, but unfortunately he had no choice, not to mention that there was no such monster as the scorpion lion in the Divine Continent, and the only life-sustaining fruit on Chu Jing's body had already been used on his body.
Sometimes it's so helpless, life is fragile, and the slightest carelessness may fall into a state of no return.
Ren Hang's face became paler and paler, his breathing became more and more rapid, and the ordinary antidote was just to relieve the time of the poison and make it more painful.
After two or three minutes, Ren Hang lost his breath, and the manticore's poison did not kill Ren Hang in seconds, but because he didn't have time to inject too much venom into his wound, and because of Ren Hang's strong physique, it was not easy to hold on for three more minutes.
"Ah......h
Wang Ba raised his head and shouted, his eyes glaring angrily at the scorpion lion who was fighting with Chu Jing and Overlord Hua, "I'm going to kill you!"
Wang Ba's big sword was suddenly raised high, and two and a half feet of sword light erupted from the big sword, I don't know if he broke through in the battle, or stimulated his physical potential.
With the addition of Wang Ba, the pressure on Chu Jing and Bawanghua was greatly reduced, and the scorpion lion flapped its wings and flew high in the air and did not dare to come down.
Wang Ba shouted at the manticore: "You come down for me, and I have a decent fight, whoever instigates it is the grandson!"
Don't say that you don't understand, even if you understand it, you won't believe that Wang Ba will fight it alone, if you really want to go it alone, a single Wang Ba can completely kill Wang Ba in three minutes.
Seeing the manticore lion flying on a high place and not coming down, everyone began to make trouble, and what they were most worried about was that the manticore would escape, and it took so much effort to sacrifice an adventurer, if there was nothing to gain, it would be a great loss.
The manticore didn't run away, it had explored the underground ruins a little before, except for here, the rest of the place was not high enough, for the monster who was good at flying, it was quite uncomfortable.
Anyway, now these humans can't touch it at all, and it doesn't worry at all, and is happy to spend it with human adventurers.
Chu Jing didn't want to spend it with the manticore, the scorpion's flight speed was faster than that of the sword master and the great sword master, and it was impossible for him to protect Lian and Xu Qian without revealing his strength.
"Xu Qian!" Chu Jing shouted, "Give me your bow and give me another armor-piercing arrow." ”
Xu Qian glanced at Chu Jing suspiciously, she hadn't heard that Chu Jing could also bow and arrow, but she still threw the bow and armor-piercing arrow to Chu Jing.
With Xu Qian's strength, there was no way to shoot the flying scorpion lion.
Chu Jing bent down and pulled the arrow.
"Medium!"
Chu Jing said in his mouth, and the armor-piercing arrow shot out like a meteor catching the moon.
Even the manticore didn't have time to react, and an arrow shot through the right bat wing of the manticore.
Everyone looked at Chu Jing in surprise, they didn't expect Chu Jing to have this stunt.
Although bows and arrows are not exclusive to rangers, swordsmen who use swords every day are logically much worse than rangers who train bows and arrows every day.
Chu Jing shook his head, "It's just luck." ”
Chu Jing's strength is there, and his arrow speed is faster than Xu Qian, which is normal, the only strange accuracy.
Chu Jing explained: "I am a lone adventurer, and I often use bows and arrows. ”
At this time, the right wing of the manticore was injured, tearing a gap, and it began to fly uncontrollably and slowly fall.
"Oh no, it's going to escape!"
Wang Ba has been paying attention to the scorpion lion, he doesn't care about what Chu Jing will do, and he complains a lot about why Chu Jing didn't shoot arrows earlier.
The manticore was indeed ready to escape, the arrow just now was extremely fast, and it was an extremely sharp armor-piercing arrow, it already knew that it had encountered a powerful opponent, and the only result if it did not flee was death.
It flapped its tattered right bat wing desperately, picked a random passage, and flew quickly.
"Don't worry, the manticore is injured in its wings now, it can't fly far, and don't forget, not every place here is as empty as this one. ”
Overlord Flower stopped Wang Ba, she was worried that chasing too closely would provoke the manticore's trapped beast fight, and their goal was only to kill the manticore, not fight the manticore.
"Chase it, it's gone!" Wang Ba said anxiously.
Overlord Flower shouted: "Chang Le, lead the way!"
"Yes. ”
Chang Le immediately ran to the front and followed behind the manticore.
The manticore's wings were injured, and the speed was not particularly fast, which was the main reason why Overlord Flower was confident that it could track it.
Chu Jing returned the bow to Xu Qian.
Xu Qian glanced at Chu Jing deeply, still surprised why Chu Jing's archery skills were so powerful, but now the manticore was the most important, and she and Dai Yun also hurriedly followed Chang Le to track down the location of the manticore.
The arrow that Chu Jing shot did cause a lot of damage to the manticore, and the manticore lions landed on the ground shortly after flying.
The passage here has narrowed, and the two wings are spread at least six meters, and it is not suitable to fly in this black light.
Fortunately, the body of the manticore lion is a lion, and it is also very fast to run on the ground.
Before the wings were not injured, the manticore lion did not dare to fly down and fight with the three of them, not to mention that now, the manticore must have to flee to a place where he thinks it is safe.
"Ah...... What is this? Manticore...... A manticore!"
On the way, some adventurers encountered a manticore, but even an injured manticore lion was not easy to deal with, especially the highly venomous scorpion tail, which was slightly rubbed and a living life was lost.
Some adventurers saw that the manticore's wings were injured and it was in a narrow place, and they immediately surrounded it, which was hundreds of walking bessos, and absolutely no adventurer could ignore it.
However, the role of the scorpion tail in small terrain is incomparably large, the hard scorpion tail is invulnerable, and the agility of the scorpion tail is completely beyond the defense of those adventurers with short swords.
When Chu Jing and the others followed after them, they saw the adventurers lying on the ground moaning, they had some sympathy, these people, like Ren Hang, would not be saved.
If you want to blame them, you can only blame them for being too greedy, not having enough strength, and provoking powerful monsters.
With other adventurers in the way, the manticore's speed slowed down. Wang Ba was very pleased.
Overlord Flower had a sad look on her face, "It seems that we have to deal with other adventurers." ”
There are greedy adventurers who want to rob monsters along the way, and there will probably be more and more in the future.
Wang Ba said coldly: "This scorpion lion was exchanged for Ren Hang's life, whoever dares to rob it, I dare to fight with him!"
"Well, let's go. ”
Overlord Flower will not give up a manticore lion easily.
The manticore lion ran around the underground ruins, and many adventurers famously rushed over.
The value of a manticore lion is very high, not to mention a manticore with a wounded wing and a panicked manticore.
Soon, a large number of adventurers fell behind the manticore, and Chu Jing and others were at the front, after all, they chased them all the way.
"I can't go on, let's kill it sooner. ”
Looking at more and more adventurers, Wang Ba's finally felt panicked.
