Chapter 178: Monsters
The sudden change was something that no one in the field could have expected.
And even if Xu Jia had prepared in advance, he had a hunch that the Qingyu clan might still have something to rely on, and he would not have expected that the other party was hiding such a thing behind his back.
The black tentacles that were cut off by Xu Jia were still twitching on the ground, attracting everyone's attention.
This time, it was the turn of the Qingyu clan such as Candle Jiu to be stunned, but Yu Ying recognized it at a glance: "This is a monster from another world?!"
Monsters, this is a general term for a class of creatures, not a single race, but in the Azure Realm, it has an unusual meaning.
Because in the Azure Realm, there were no monsters at first, and the monsters must have come from another world.
Of course, after the monsters invaded here, it was not uncommon for them to gradually become native creatures after a long period of reproduction and localization.
It's just that monsters are different from the creatures produced in the magical civilization, they are born with an evil aura, and they are antithetical beings.
"Evil breath" is not a positive and negative description, but something that really exists, similar to the death qi of the Xiaohe Realm, as long as it exists, it will have an impact on living beings.
Therefore, there is actually a monster hidden in the underground of the big cruise ship street, which Xu Jia did not expect.
I'm afraid that it is the Qingyu people who can reach an agreement with it, if ordinary humans live here for too long, they are easily infected by the evil spirit aura and mutate.
As the tentacles were severed, the ground in front of Xu Jia's eyes finally began to churn, and a strangely shaped creature slowly crawled out of the ground.
It's not an imaginary octopus monster, because if it's not a monster with tentacles, it must be an octopus, and if you have to describe the creature in front of you, it's more like a centipede.
It's just that this centipede has no legs, but dozens of tentacles grow from its back, which fall to the ground from both sides.
On the side close to Xu Jia, you can also see that the monster has a human face, the face is actually an old man, and the closest tentacle to the human face is the one that was cut off by Xu Jia.
Xu Jia didn't know the breed of this monster - this is normal, the monster itself is the product of mutation, maybe there are as many varieties as there are - but this does not affect Xu Jia wants to capture him back.
"The harvest of this trip is really not small, the Fountain of Youth, the Dragonborn, and the Qingyu Clan...... There's also a monster. ”
Of course, unlike the Dragonborn, monsters don't have much research value, but they are more reliable for material reserves.
The study of the evil spirit system does not make much sense to the living beings, or it will not make any progress at all, these are two different factions at all.
Xu Jia had already treated the centipede monster as a trophy, but others might not have felt that way.
Yu Ying is like a great enemy, she doesn't have much experience in facing monsters, and the appearance of the centipede monster is indeed very capable of bluffing, and it is not easy to deal with at first glance.
Candle Ten even shouted: "Uncle Black Dragon, these people are not good, you must not let them go!"
The centipede monster, known as the "Black Dragon", did have a similar idea, the pain of being cut off one of his tentacles was still there, and he waved his hand to several tentacles, and hit Xu Jia at the same time.
At the same time, he let out a somewhat strange roar from his mouth: "Mortal, you must pay for your recklessness!"
Xu Jia smiled casually, it seems that this centipede monster has been in the Azure Realm for a long time, and it has learned the language here.
But his tone is still a little weird, and he is not a native of Azure after all.
Centipede monsters' tentacles are thirty-four pairs and sixty-eight to be exact, but only the first eighteen can really participate in the battle.
The centipede monster is more than fifty meters long, and the tentacles behind it are difficult to stretch too long, so it is generally used as a foot by the centipede monster, and it floats behind it during battle...... With a strong momentum.
To put it bluntly, it's just a showcase, it's not very useful, it's just majestic.
Others may be afraid of monsters from other worlds, but Xu Jia doesn't have the slightest feeling like this, or players in future generations will not have this feeling.
One of the expansion packs after the "Marfa Empire" is the "Star Nest Legion", and when the time comes, these evil creatures will be as numerous as ants, and you can't even understand it.
In the face of evil spirit creatures, Xu Jia can finally not use the "ghost cong", and his martial arts can also come in handy.
Evil creatures have a characteristic, that is, they are extremely strong and difficult to kill, which is one of the reasons why many people are afraid of monsters.
But Xu Jia knows very well that monsters are difficult to kill, not because of their real vitality or how strong their defense is, but because they have no vital points.
No matter how strong the defense of human beings is, directly cutting off their heads or stabbing their hearts will eventually lead to death, but evil spirit creatures are different, they have similar traits to energy bodies.
When a part of the body is destroyed, strength can be drawn from other parts to compensate for the damaged position, and even the injury can be repaired quickly.
Therefore, in the face of evil spirit creatures, the "ghost cong" that kills with one knife may not be easy to use, but Xu Jia has a different strategy.
I saw Xu Jia raise his hand suddenly, and the dazzling martial arts in his hand fell in front of the centipede monster in a blink of an eye.
Dealing with this kind of enemy who does not understand martial arts, martial artists are generally the happiest.
Because they don't need to think about changing their moves, they don't need to think about mutant martial arts, they just use the opponent as a live target, and the enemy can only resist hard anyway.
The most standard point cloud starts, connecting four sets of first- and second-order martial arts, and finally it turns out to be a "starry" end.
I have to say that Xu Jia's understanding of martial arts skills has reached the top level. Under normal circumstances, "Stars" is not suitable as a finishing move, as it will cause the power that has been accumulated so hard to be dispersed.
The purpose of combos is to accumulate internal interest and burst out all at once, so the finishing technique can often mobilize most of the internal interest circuit.
But at this time, the use of "stars" as a last hand has an extremely subtle effect.
Ten thousand points of starlight appeared, and the internal breath of astonishing strength was attached to it, making every point of starlight have a powerful lethality.
Under Xu Jia's terrifying control, each stab landed precisely on the tentacles of the centipede monster, and the sword body was either straight or oblique, sometimes piercing the tentacles, and sometimes simply cutting it off.
The centipede monster's eighteen tentacles came out together, but almost after an instant's exchange, it became full of holes!
Canglong's face and mouth let out a scream again, the first tentacle that was cut off has been restored, but now that the eighteen tentacles are broken at the same time, it will not be able to recover at once.
And Xu Jia was unforgiving, only to see his figure flicker, and instantly appeared on the side of the centipede monster, and cut off the rest of his tentacles in the same way.
In just half a minute, the centipede monster was not only shaved bald, but even its body was cut into dozens of pieces.
Black pieces of flesh and blood were everywhere, and even the human face was slashed off by Xu Jia, falling to the ground and twitching continuously.
