With a loud splash, the turbulent water was broken, and a hazy shadow burst out of the water and launched an attack on Lina on the shore. ※%This sudden appearance of the monster is also an insect monster, and its body parts are less than two meters long, and in terms of size, it is very different from the insects I saw before. This is a scorpion-like magical beast, with a wide front and a narrow back body lying flat on the ground, six legs wrapped in a carapace, and the ends of the legs are sharp like knives standing on the ground, and can poke deep holes in the ground lightly. The shoulders of the scorpion have two huge tongs seventy or eighty centimeters long, the width of the tongs is half a meter, when it is opened, it can lightly clamp a person's waist into half, and the inside of the tongs is covered with granular protrusions to increase friction, once it is clamped by the tongs, don't want to break free from it. At the end of the body, a one-meter-long tail the wrist-thick of an adult man's wrist was cocked high, and the tip of the barb at the tip of the tail shone dangerously. The scorpion is also covered in a thick carapace, which is milky white with grayish-white stripes.

Lina, who was retreating, also reacted quickly, and her body fell into a mess at the same time as the sound of water, and she rolled back several times in a row to widen the distance from the shore, allowing the sneak attack of the scorpion pincers to fall into the air. That's when she had a chance to look back and see what had happened, and when she turned her head, she saw a long, thick tail pinned to the spot where she had rolled over a few seconds earlier.

"Bang", the next moment, Catherine's fearless charge started, and the metal iris shield hit the scorpion's claws head-on, causing the big scorpion to stagger back a few steps, and its six legs shook for a while before it stabilized its body.

"Click, click", the back of the scorpion's body is half raised, its tail with spiky barbs stands high, and a pair of pincers open and close. It made a deterrent sound, and every time the pincers were closed, it would bring a loud crisp sound, which was enough to prove how powerful this simple closing action was.

After Catherine blocked herself, Lina took advantage of the situation to stand up from the state of the group, took a few steps back to widen the distance, the mace and the law book were already in her hand, and the hand holding the law book pointed at Catherine, and the defensive shield that could absorb the impact had been blessed on Catherine. The next moment, gunshots rang out. As Lina began to roll backwards, Vivien and Freya had already begun to prepare for battle, and in this dangerous environment, it was necessary to ensure that they could join the battle as quickly as possible, so it took less than three seconds for the attack support of the two ranged classes to arrive.

Due to the warmth and humidity of the environment, Freya and Vivien invariably chose the ice attribute energy opposite to the environment as their means of attack, after all, these creatures have always lived in this environment, and their ability to resist cold ice energy is likely to be relatively weak. Timely detection of the enemy's possible weaknesses and verification and exploitation of them is a must-have ability for a top mage of the actual combat school with rich adventure experience, and a high-level adventurer of the spell casting system without this kind of vision and reaction speed may have already lost the qualification to take another adventure in a dangerous life. Most of them also lost their lives at the same time.

A cold energy mass erupted from the muzzle of the gun, and the energy mass shot by the crystal energy gun with a special power was half a meter in diameter, and just getting close to the body would cause a sharp stinging sensation in the skin, and the energy mass instantly crossed a space of several meters. As soon as the gunshot rang out, the energy mass had already smashed into the scorpion's body. Even though it reacts much faster than a human as a bug, the scorpion still doesn't have time to dodge the energy mass that makes it instinctively feel threatened. Before he could erect a pincer to protect his face, he was hit head-on by the energy mass. The danger of the low temperature was enormous, and the pale color crept all over its erected pincers at a speed visible to the naked eye, and continued to spread upwards along the limbs.

The scorpion had never encountered such temperatures in the warm underground river, and in its underdeveloped brain, it was completely unable to comprehend the rapid stiffness transmitted from its limbs, and it did not understand what this stiff feeling was. However, though it could not comprehend the meaning of cold and freezing, the instinct of the creature made it feel fear, reason prevailed over appetite, and the large scorpion dragged the claw that was becoming more and more insensible, and danced its tail in a threatening gesture against the enemy, and prepared to slowly retreat back into the dark river where it was sheltering.

However, it suddenly found that it did not make any movement, with the position of its eyes, it was difficult to see a layer of frost condensed under its body, I don't know when it was completely frozen, and the frost was secretly spreading upwards, and now it had spread to the position of its abdomen.

The milky white scorpion suddenly felt that his body was very tired, and the feeling all over his body became more and more stiff and numb, and even his reaction became slower and slower, as if time was stretched out without limit. In its perception, the prey in front of him seemed to become farther and farther away, and the sound it made became quieter and quieter, and then, he fell into eternal darkness.

"So, such clear water?" It wasn't until the scorpion was completely frozen by Vivien's magic that Catherine turned her head and looked at Lina with a smile, but there was anger in her eyes: "You can't forget that lesson?"

"I'm sorry, big sister. Lina hung her head and whispered, "I was wrong. ”

"You're right, what's wrong with you?" Catherine said with a sneer, "You're an experienced sage, and you can't be more familiar with adventures, can you? The situation is unknown to the water's edge, and you should never approach lightly without a careful and meticulous inspection, this rule has not been told to you, and you have not been taught a lesson for violating this rule, but now that you have become stronger, you feel that you are very powerful, and you feel proud, you can trample on these rules, right?"

"Ahem. Pannis coughed dryly, put his arm around Ike's shoulders, and pulled him out of the cave: "Come on, come on, I saw a stone outside just now, it looks like it has a very strange pattern on it, you can help me see what it is." By the way, Vivien, Freya, you are scholars, maybe you will know something, let's take a look, a stone seems to have a stone beetle in it, it looks like it is no different from the real thing, come on, come on. ”

Lina secretly gave Pannis a grateful look, and Pannis bared his teeth at her and waved goodbye with a gloating expression, but Catherine's strange expression was seen, and in exchange for a burst of angry glare, Pannis fled from the cave in fright, for fear that the anger would burn on him.

A few of them didn't look at any of the stones, and in fact the four of them were either knowledgeable scholars or experienced explorers, and they all knew rumors of something that grew in stones, which was not new to them. So the four of them turned their headlights back, and then lay down at the mouth of the cave to peek inside.

Due to the characteristics of this cave, the sound inside cannot be heard at all, only not far away, the two girls stand in the light range of their headlamps and shoulder lamps, Catherine is constantly reprimanding, waving her hands from time to time to strengthen her tone, and the silver-haired girl has been hanging her head, although the two are about the same height, but it seems that she is really like a child, uneasy and a little aggrieved to accept the lecture, and from time to time nod to show that she accepts it seriously.

"Their safety is fine. Freya said with some unease: "I haven't explored it yet, I'm worried that there are still demonic beasts lurking, will it be dangerous to leave them there?"

"So what do you think I'm looking at? I'm just helping them observe their surroundings. Pannis's eyes never left the two girls who were preaching and being preached, and replied without looking back: "Do you think I'm really watching Lina's jokes? ”

"Aren't you really reading a joke?" Freya squinted at Pannis, "I'll admit that you do help them observe the environment, but if you can put away the smirk that makes you want to punch the corners of your mouth, it might be a little more convincing." ”

"Hahaha, how is it possible, my expression is very strict. Pannis smiled dryly and touched the corners of his mouth: "I'm obviously very serious about helping them look around." ”

"That's right, Pannis. Vivien suddenly pulled the corner of Pennis's coat and asked in a low voice, "I remember some trained thieves, you can tell what other people's lips are talking when you see them squirming from a distance, can you do it?"

"Ahem, ahem. Pannis coughed dryly, and said in a panicked voice: "I, I'm not a thief, and I haven't received professional training, how can I do such a difficult thing, hahaha, absolutely impossible, hahaha." ”

"It's so stupid that you can't bear to pierce it. Freya sighed, covered her face and groaned.

In the cave, Catherine's terrible preaching continued, and I didn't know what the two had said, but Lina could only be seen nodding and wiping her cheeks, as if she had been reprimanded and wept. Eventually, Catherine made a sigh and reached out to touch the top of Lina's head, who immediately jumped up and hugged Catherine's arm, looking up with a flattering smirk.

"Looks like it's over, poor Lina. Pannis saw the interaction between the two girls: "Let's go back too." ”

"Who made her so scary, if it wasn't for the eldest sister to remind her, she would have really been pulled down. Vivian and Freya actually felt very scared in their hearts, and Vivien pouted and said, "She deserves to be lectured by the eldest sister, and she dares to do this in the future." ”

"Yo, girls, we're back. Pannis waved back to the cave at the two maidens, pointed to the other side of the river, and said, "Now instead of discussing the past, think about how we should cross the river." (To be continued......)
