Chapter 66: Snatch the Treasure
Standing behind a bush nearly two hundred meters away from the cave, Luo Hou couldn't help frowning as much as ten mercenaries patrolling back and forth from a hundred meters in front of him to the entrance of the cave.
With the strength of these patrol mercenaries, they are not taken seriously by Luo Hou, and it is not difficult to solve them.
What really made Luo Hou feel embarrassed was the bald man who had already entered the cave, the bald man named Linde had the cultivation realm of the lower rank of the diamond step.
Compared to Luo Hou's mid-level cultivation of the gem level, although it seems to be only two levels higher, the real gap is a big realm difference.
If he fought alone, even if Luo Hou had the top-level martial arts Beidou Shattering Star Fist and the Extreme Electric Light Slash, plus the spirit-level Tang Dao Divine Strategy as a battle, it would be impossible for him to defeat the other party by leapfrogging.
What's more, in fact, Lin De is not alone, there are other gem-level masters like Ge around him, and the chances of winning are even slimmer.
What if you kill the patrol mercenaries yourself, but it may alarm Linde and them, which will be even more detrimental to yourself?
Luo Hou squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the cave, thinking about how to do it in order to capture the top martial arts inside while ensuring safety.
Just as Luo Hou was thinking about it and still had no clue, suddenly a roar like thunder sounded, and the hill in front of him also began to shake in the roar.
Seeing such a situation, Luo Hou's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he secretly liked it in his heart at the moment, it was really an endless road, but he didn't expect that the cave would actually become a lair of star beasts.
Before the mercenaries outside could exit to inquire, there were already bursts of angry shouts from inside the cave, as well as the sound of weapons clashing and beast roars, and it was obvious that a fierce battle had begun inside.
At this time, the mercenaries who were in charge of patrolling outside the cave naturally heard the movement inside the cave, and one by one they pulled out the weapons they carried with them, and they were looking at each other and hesitating whether to rush in.
At this moment, I heard someone in the cave shouting loudly: "Oh no! Beware of poison!"
After a roar, there was no movement in the cave, and a black-gray mist drifted out of the cave, emitting a disgusting stench.
The mercenaries who were in charge of patrolling were so smoky that they wanted to die of the stench, and at this time they still remembered the thoughts of the people who rushed into the cave, and they all covered their noses and mouths and hurriedly retreated.
At this moment, there was a sudden violent vibration sound in the cave, accompanied by an unwilling roar and a tooth-aching cracking sound.
Echoing the movement in the cave, a figure screamed and flew upside down from the cave, drawing a perfect parabola, flying over the mercenaries' heads and falling to the ground with a heavy blow.
The mercenaries in charge of the patrol hurriedly stepped forward to check, and judging from the irregular twisted state of the person's body, it was obvious that there was no possibility of survival.
However, the mercenaries present found that the real fatal cause was not the fall caused by the huge impact.
Judging by his grayish-green and bleeding face, he died before he fell to the ground, so the real cause of his death was poisoning.
Before the mercenaries could make a final decision, a new change appeared in the cave, and several figures appeared in the black-gray foul-smelling mist, and it was the bald man Linde who hit the head.
"Quick, get out!" he suddenly stopped at the entrance of the cave, turned to face the cave, and shouted loudly.
At the same time, the long knife in Linde's hand was raised high, and his combat power was far superior to that of others in the realm of the lower level of the diamond rank, and as the true qi entered the long knife in the middle of the agitation, it could be seen that there was a touch of coldness on the blade of the long knife.
At this time, Ge Ya and the others who entered the cave with him also ran out of the cave one after another, and after confirming that everyone had exited, the pale-faced Linde slashed at the cave with a knife.
With the slash of this knife, I saw a pale red knife light break through the air, and under the reflection of the knife light, you can see a huge star beast that is more than four meters tall and resembles a gorilla, which is angrily rushing out of the cave.
When this gorilla-like star beast saw the sword light attacking, it was not panicked, but it lowered its head, hugged its head with its arms, and resisted with its arms like this.
With a bang, it was like an iron and stone strike, and I saw that the sword light hit the arms of the gorilla-like star beast, bringing a spark.
Although the light of the sword did not cause significant damage to the gorilla-like star beast, it still made it let out a piercing roar, and it was clear that Linde's blow had angered it.
I saw that the gorilla-like star beast first roared like crazy, then frantically pounded its chest a few times, and then opened its mouth to spew out a black-gray mist.
Seeing this, Linde quickly withdrew from the cave and joined the others, guarding the cave with caution.
The gorilla-like star beast also took the opportunity to rush out, and pounced on Linde as if it were ruthless, and the poisonous mist in its mouth spat out from time to time, and at the same time slapped its arms viciously.
At this time, Luo Hou, who was hiding on the side, saw the appearance of this star beast clearly, this is a star beast more than four meters tall, covered with scale armor all over its body, and there are black and gray hairs all over its body between the gaps in the scale armor, which seems to carry a highly poisonous liquid.
The huge body ran, and the shaking ground was shaking, showing that the combat power of this star beast was definitely not weak.
Coupled with the poisonous fog it possessed, Lin De and the others, who were forced to do so, did not dare to hide their edge at all, so they had to constantly retreat and avoid.
You need to know that in just a few minutes of fighting, three people have already died under the poisonous mist, how dare the others go up and try one or two again.
"Geya, this is not the way to go! Now I'll lure this star beast away, and you can lead people into the cave to find it. Linde exclaimed.
As he spoke, without waiting for Geya to answer, Linde took out a brown capsule from his bosom, threw it into his mouth without thinking, and then rushed straight at the gorilla-like star beast.
"Boss!" said Geya, who apparently knew what the brown capsule that Lind had eaten was.
However, at this time, he could no longer allow him to grieve, so he greeted him and rushed to the cave with three people.
The gorilla-like star beast was not stupid, and when it saw this, it roared and was about to go to stop it.
Seeing this, Lin De shouted: "Block it with all your might!"
After speaking, Linde did not hesitate, and took the lead in rushing towards the gorilla-like star beast, the long knife in his hand slashed down with a streamer, and actually stopped the gorilla-like star beast with great might.
At this time, after deducting the three people taken away by Ge Ya, there were already less than ten mercenaries left on the scene without thinking about it, so they all took action one after another, and did not hesitate to use their lives to block the counterattack of the star beast and buy time for their companions.
