Chapter 14: The Last Grenade
Bandaging the wound on Lef's waist with a strip of cloth, Leif is no longer capable of fighting after running out of mana, so Levi has no choice but to take on the job of scout. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
There was still moonlight in the cave, which was not too dark, but not in that passage, and Levi had to retrieve the torch he had dropped and use alchemy to light it.
Adhering to the principle that more is better than less, the matter of lighting the torch was done with Leif's back to Leif, so the other party did not see the alchemy array flashing in his hand.
Holding Leif in their arms, the two walked into the passage with torches.
Leif half-leaned on Levi's body, breathing rhythmically, began to absorb the mana energy that roamed in the air, but the term mana energy was also a name unique to Levi.
Just like energy such as heat energy in alchemy, Levi believes that the prerequisite for mages to use spells is to have mana energy, and Livi guesses that mages are by absorbing the mana energy in the atmosphere, and then through a series of transformations in the human body, the mana energy attributes are different, and then released in the form of a magic circle.
And the spell book plays a resonant role in it, which is used to increase the power of the spell.
Maybe he could design a device that could absorb spells and shoot them out again? Levi just had this idea, after all, he didn't even know how spells could work in the human body, and without theoretical support, everything would be useless.
Bang Bang!
Suddenly, Levi heard the sound of gold and iron clashing from not far ahead, and Leif also raised his head, "Is this sound Noxi?"
"Haha, great, Noshi is still alive, let's hurry up!" With that, Leif dragged Levi and was about to run in the direction where the voice came from.
"Can you not be so reckless," but Levi pulled Leif back in turn and said with a look of disgust.
"What's wrong with me, didn't you say you were going to hurry up and save Noshi," Reif said, stunned.
"Are you sure the two of us rushed over to save her in this situation, not to send her to death?"
"But Noshi is in danger now!" Reif retorted.
"Just because she is in danger, we have to take care of ourselves, don't be able to save people and drag each other down when the time comes, it won't be wrong to be cautious."
The two slowed their pace, lowered their breath and made their way to where the sound came from, and along the way, Levi's nerves tensed in case of a surprise attack by mutated creatures.
Luckily, however, Rivee was more worried, and until they reached the other side of the passage, they were all safe, leaning on the side of the passage, and Levi pushed Leif back, then stuck his head out to look out.
It's another big centipede, and this big centipede is even bigger than the one they killed before, it's almost 15m long, and a silver figure is dodging everywhere under the jaws of the big centipede.
"I see Noshi," Levi said.
Noshi was not in good shape, his hair and armor were stained with blood, and the sword of the Cross Knight in his hand was pitted by the striking on the carapace of the giant centipede.
Still with an indifferent expression, even in danger, Noxi's expression did not change, and every movement of the knight's sword was graceful and deadly, cutting through the air towards the steps of the big centipede.
And in this small cave here, Noshi used the torch he held in his hand in advance to ignite all the combustibles around him, and with the help of these fires, Levi saw a large number of corpses piled up in a corner of the cave.
Some of the corpses were hard to tell what the creatures were, and only pools of flesh and blood remained, while some of the corpses were barely visible in human form, presumably the bodies of the dead miners.
Levi held back a strong discomfort and nodded, there were at least twenty or more corpses here, it seemed that these two big centipedes had killed all the miners in the mine, one was responsible for blocking the mine entrance, and the other was responsible for predation, otherwise it would be impossible for no one to escape.
It seems that these two mutated giant centipedes have not only mutated physically, but also improved their intelligence, and they have learned to divide labor and cooperate when hunting.
"You're coming up with an idea, Noshi can't hold on!" Leif said as he tugged at Levi's robe with anxiety in his eyes.
Turning around to avoid the jaws and feet of the big centipede, Nuoxi swept his eyes, and saw that three of the big centipede's injured feet swung the knight's sword in succession, and the blade suddenly turned into an afterimage in her hand, and slashed on the foot.
Flutter!
"Squeak!"
The three steps broke under Noxi's slash, and the yellow juice spurted out, and the footsteps that lost their owner flew out, but this big centipede was much more difficult than the other, and with a twist of its body, its huge body slammed towards Noxi.
Noxi's reaction was worthy of being the top would-be knight in the Kribby Knights' House at the time, and as soon as the centipede's body moved, the sword body stood in front of him.
The centipede's body struck the slender sword of Nuoxi, and Nuoxi, who was not known for his strength, suddenly flew out with a sword, and blood overflowed from his mouth.
Embedded the knight's sword into the ground to resist the impact it received, only to see that Noxi's waist, which did not have the slightest excess fat, regained its center of gravity as soon as it exerted its strength, and the right foot wrapped in the iron armor crushed back and stood on the ground.
Gasping softly, Noxi's hand holding the knight's sword trembled slightly, but her face was as firm as ever.
"The power of the alchemy grenade explosion is limited, and it is difficult to work without weakening the carapace of the big centipede, let alone the fire gun, hitting it is just tickling."
Now Leif's mana has not recovered, and the method of alternating between hot and cold is not useful for the time being, and what other way can I deal with the big centipede.
However, the big centipede obviously had no intention of giving Levi to think slowly, and approached Noshi again, and stabbed his jaw foot at Noxi.
"Rivi, this is the first time I've begged someone in my life, please save Noshi!"
Listening to Lef's begging words, Levi gradually tightened his grip on the grenade.
I couldn't think about it anymore, Noxi, who had been fighting for more than an hour, could fall down at any time, gritted his teeth, and saw Rivi pull out the alchemy grenade and run behind the big centipede.
He himself repeatedly warned Leif not to act impulsively, but now he himself rushed out first, after all, he couldn't watch Noshi die here, and it would be better to attract the big centipede to share the pressure for Noshi first.
The alchemy grenade rolled under the big centipede, and after a loud bang, the big centipede tilted to the side.
Seeing this, Livi's heart sank, grandma's, there was not even a little injury, the carapace of this big centipede was much harder than that one!
"Levi?" Noshi saw Rivi as well, but the big centipede was a step quicker to react this time, turning around and chasing after Rivi, who was running faster than a rabbit.
"Big Centipede, I was wrong!!"
The big centipede chasing Rivi suddenly rolled up and pounced, and the poisonous jaw foot stabbed straight towards Rivi, and if it was pierced this time, there Wei would be dead.
At the moment of life and death, Levi's potential also exploded, and he rolled on the spot and flashed to the side, but the jaw foot of the big centipede ripped off the waist bag from his waist and threw it to the ground.
"I'm scared to death...", Levi, who was about to vomit, rushed into the gap between the two rocks, staring at the big centipede that had come to him again with a bloodless face.
"Big brother centipede, I'm not delicious, I don't have two taels of meat on my body..."The big centipede straightened up its body high, and bit down with one jaw and foot no matter what Levi was yelling.
"Levi!" Seeing this scene, Leif and Noshi, who was rushing over, were powerless to stop it, and could only watch in amazement as the big centipede's jaws closed as they bit down on Rivi.
However, to everyone's surprise, the big centipede's jaw foot actually got stuck on two rocks next to Rivi, and it couldn't close for a while.
The big centipede's foul-smelling mouthparts stopped on top of Levi's head, and seeing that the mouthparts were not covered with carapace, Levi's red eyes flickered instantly.
There is a carapace on the outside, and the power of the alchemy grenade can't hurt the big centipede, but the grenade is thrown into the body of the big centipede, and the big centipede doesn't have a carapace in the body!
"Grenade... No, you're playing with me," Levi, who immediately went to his belt bag to pick up a grenade, took it out - because his waist bag fell out of the rock under the pull of the big centipede.
There's no time to wait, but what else can Levi do without a grenade in his fanny pack, shoot at the big centipede with a flintlock firebolt...
"Meow~" Just as Levi stared at his waist bag and couldn't do anything, his waist bag moved on its own, and then a cat meow came from the waist bag.
Xiao Ming, who finally got out of his waist bag, shook the fluff on his body, and soon, Xiao Ming found his master and the huge mutant centipede in front of him.
For the hideous and terrifying big centipede, Xiao Ming instinctively felt fear, and retreated step by step with trembling.
"Xiao Ming! grenade, bring me the grenade!" Xiao Ming was Levi's last ray of hope, and it was too late for Nuo Xi to be stunned in front of him, and the rocks on both sides began to crack under the jaws of the big centipede.
"Meow~" Livi of the small Ming Dynasty called, but did not move.
The instinctive fear of creatures is difficult for even humans to overcome, let alone Xiao Ming's cat, Levi gave up, and put down his right hand pointing at the alchemy grenade.
"You can't really die in this hellish place, do you?" the cracks in the rocks on both sides grew bigger and bigger under the squeezing of the jaws of the big centipede, and as long as these two rocks shattered, then Levi was completely finished.
"Meow, meow!!" But what made the corners of Livi's eyes moisten was that Xiao Ming, after seeing that his master was in danger, he had to run away several times, but instead stared at Rivi for a while, and then rushed towards Rivi with the alchemy grenade on the ground.
"Well done, Xiao Ming!" Passing under the big centipede's body, Xiao Ming threw himself into Rivi's arms in one breath, and Levi took off the alchemy grenade that Xiao Ming was holding and pulled it out.
"You're hungry, huh, eat, feed you!" The next moment, Levi threw the alchemy grenade into the mouth of the giant centipede.
Worried that the explosion would hurt Xiao Ming, after throwing the grenade, Levi hugged Xiao Ming tightly and turned his back.
The alchemy grenade rolled all the way down the wet mouth of the big centipede's body, and this alchemy grenade was also the last grenade that Levi carried, and it depends on whether he is alive or dead this time!
