The wind blows, blowing a pool of spring water.

The edge of the pond was filled with blood, like a vast cloud of smoke.

Under the lingering blood, a figure stepped out of this boundless blood mist, faltering, it was Shen Yi.

Suddenly, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and the blood fell to the ground, and it turned out to be a coagulated blood clot.

Shen Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Blood Queen...... It's amazing. ”

Shen Yi didn't expect that the strength of the Blood Queen was terrifying, and it was even stronger than the extraterritorial giant beast, and after a hard battle, although he killed the Blood Queen, he was not lightly injured.

He had planned to go to the five-difficulty area after killing the Blood Queen, but now it seems that his strength is still not enough. Although his current strength can be regarded as the peak of the five difficulties, an adventurer of the same level can never be an opponent of a fierce beast of the same level, and this truth is obviously still unchanged. Unless you can build on that, sweeping the wilderness is still just a dream.

In addition, the Blood Queen's blow before her death coagulated the blood, which caused a lot of sequelae to his body, unless he returned to the city, he didn't want to remove the blood poison in his body. With the current state of his body, not to mention going to the fifth difficulty, it is difficult to mix in the fourth difficulty, Shen Yi can only give up further plans.

Fortunately, this time he killed the Blood Queen, and the reward was already super rich. You must know that the Blood Queen herself is a four-difficulty peak beast, and even a strong person like the Colonel Evil Emperor would not dare to provoke it.

After killing her, you have a 100% chance of getting a special item, the Expansion Scroll.

Expansion Scrolls: Special scrolls that can be used to expand the skill bar.

Each Expansion Scroll allows adventurers to add a skill slot to learn an additional non-class class. In Bloody City, a skill slot expansion scroll is worth as much as an A-rank skill.

More than 50% chance to get a vial of Blood Queen's blood, which can be used to learn the blood of the Blood Queen, and the bloodline level is double A.

Twenty-five percent chance to gain a pure-blood flask to increase the bloodline level, after using the pure-blood flask, the number of times any bloodline skill can be used is doubled, and the blood queen bloodline is increased by an additional level.

According to the principle of the Bloody City - if you kill a high-level fierce beast by skipping the level, the reward will be doubled. Double the level and double the return.

Therefore, Shen Yi killed the Blood Queen, and the reward was increased by four times, which allowed him to harvest four expansion scrolls, two vials of the Blood Queen's blood, and a bottle of pure-blood potion at once.

And that doesn't include the Bloody Eye, the best temple sacrifice to be sacrificed to the temple.

The only pity is that the Bloody Eyes are not doubled, because this is a pair of eyes that were directly gouged out from the Blood Queen, but there is no second pair for him.

Such a harvest can be said to be a bumper harvest.

Seeing that there was still an hour and a half left, Shen Yi finally decided to go back. If you can't return to the Ashen City before your power is lost, you'll be in trouble if you get stuck in difficulty 3 or 4.

Of course, before you go back, you have to sweep around.

Sky Eye has already given a map of the best route to return, and on this route, he can clean about four or five places.

Gotta hurry!

――――――――――

South 2nd District, scorching desert.

There's a fierce battle taking place here - eight adventurers are teaming up against a ferocious sand scorpion king.

As the overlord of the Scorching Desert, each Sand Scorpion King has the strength of a top-level boss of the second difficulty.

The sand scorpion king in front of him, huge in size and agile in his movements, wanders like a fly on the sand surface, and from time to time he will burrow into the sand, and then suddenly burst out to attack, its long scorpion tail with barbs has a strong toxin, and after hitting the target, it will make the target unconscious. From time to time, small sand scorpions crawl out from the lower abdomen, moving quickly under the sand layer until they jump up at the target's feet, and then explode with a bang.

An adventurer was accidentally blown away by the air wave of the little sand scorpion's self-detonation, and the flying sand obscured everyone's vision, and the cunning sand scorpion king had suddenly rushed up, and the two sharp forelimbs quickly cut into the other party's body.

Although he failed to directly cut the other party in half, he also tore out a bloody long cut on the target's body, exposing even the intestines.

"Maria save him!" exclaimed a burly white adventurer.

A white female adventurer responded: "I don't have enough mental strength to treat him!"

"What? Your spirit and will are too low, aren't you?"

"I'm not a doctor, I'm a paladin!" replied the woman angrily.

"Stop arguing. An adventurer wielding a baseball bat shouted, "This can't go on like this, we're no match for it, we're ready to leave!"

As he spoke, he waved his bat, and it hit a small white ball, and the white ball flew into the Sand Scorpion King, bursting suddenly, and the Sand Scorpion King who exploded hissed and screamed.

"Just give up? I don't think it's going to last long. "Some people are reluctant to just give up. After all, it's not easy for them to make a trip to the South End.

Not only will they have to face the beasts here, but they will also have to watch out for any adventurers who haunt the area. Not to mention taking such a big risk, it is even more difficult to challenge the Scorpion King.

As the overlord of the Scorching Desert, the Sand Scorpion King is not only strong in its own right, but most importantly, it is not a solitary creature, but has a large group of younger brothers under his hands.

Unlike the queen ant, the scorpion king has a strong attack ability, but the number of younger brothers is not as large as that of the queen. This causes it to sometimes leave its nest and act alone with its own men.

Adventurers who are good at summarizing experience, in the long-term hunting activities, gradually found some methods and techniques to deal with the Scorpion King, the most important of which is to find a way to lure the Sand Scorpion King out and fight it alone.

It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do.

This team didn't know how much preparation and effort it had made to successfully lure the Scorpion King out and create this opportunity to challenge the Scorpion King alone.

Seeing that the Scorpion King was finally gradually losing his support, he was really unwilling to give up at this time.

"But Lyle is dying, and we'll have to find a place to save him!" shouted the bat-wielding adventurer.

He's the captain of this team, and he can't just watch his players die for profit.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed, heading straight for the rampaging Sand Scorpion King.

"Body-shattering formless sword qi!"

As the snow light slashed, the scorpion tail of the Sand Scorpion King was actually cut off by a sword.

The figure floating in the air dodged and dodged the sand scorpion king's crazy attack, and at the same time kicked the sand scorpion king in the abdomen, piercing the other with a kick.

It's Shen Yi!

The sand scorpion king let out a painful scream, and it was alert, and immediately burrowed into the sand, trying to escape by means of the earth's magic.

Shen Yi just sneered, and grabbed it casually: "Come out for me!"

The Sand Scorpion King was like being grabbed by an invisible hand, and suddenly flew out of the ground, writhing wildly in the air, but he couldn't get rid of it.

Shen Yi's body was like lightning, and he instantly swept over the body of the Scorpion King, and when he landed, the body of the Scorpion King had turned into two pieces and fell from the sky, and the blood and water were sprinkled like rain in the sky, shocking the eight adventurers.

"Will ...... General!" the bat-wielding white adventurer trembled with fright.

If you can easily kill the Scorpion King in this way, I'm afraid that only a general with a fifth difficulty, or a top powerhouse with a fourth difficulty, can do it.

It's just that no one thought that someone with this kind of strength would run to the second district.

Could it be that these guys are really poor and crazy, and even the equipment of the little characters in the second district is rare?

There was a wave of despair in everyone's hearts.

You must know that in front of such a strong person, they don't even have the qualifications to escape. Instead of turning around and running for your life, it is better to immediately take out your equipment and beg for mercy to be effective.

However, at that moment, an adventurer suddenly screamed: "Pass! Home Pass!"

Following the man's finger, a yellow shiny pass caught everyone's attention.

What does it mean that the Scorpion King is out of the home pass?

The other party is not a general, but a second-difficulty adventurer!

This realization made everyone dizzy again.

When did District 2 have an adventurer who could kill the Scorpion King in seconds?

Shen Yi grabbed it casually, and the home pass was already in hand, and he also got a double C-level weapon scorpion tail hook by the way. He came here mainly for the home pass, so he didn't care about this weapon, and was about to leave when suddenly a trembling female voice behind him shouted, "Hey! That's our thing!"

En?

Looking back, the paladin named Maria was looking at him angrily, pointing at Shen Yi with his hands on his hips and saying, "You stole our things!"

The bat-wielding adventurer was so frightened that he hurriedly covered Maria's mouth: "Don't get me wrong, we don't mean anything else. That's your reward for killing the Scorpion King, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

Maria angrily broke the adventurer's hand, "But we hit it first, and we had already seriously injured it, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to kill it so easily...... Not...... Not...... What are you holding me for...... Hmm, Zreig, you bastard......"

Zreg simply picked up Maria, let her fists kick and dance, and whispered in her ear: "Shut up, you stupid woman, do you want to kill us?

"But that's ...... Our...... Stuff...... Hmmm......"

Shen Yi took a moment to look at the two living treasures and smiled slightly.

He said: "You are right, it is true that I robbed your Scorpion King, but if I am not mistaken, you will not be able to defeat you if I don't come, but you may be killed by it." ”

Maria broke free of Zrig and shouted, "But we have a lot to do to kill that scorpion, you should share some of us, right?

Shen Yi looked at this woman with some surprise.

What does it take for a short-circuited brain to say such a thing?

But looking at this woman's puffed up, she is also stupid and cute.

Shen Yi finally nodded: "You're right, this sand scorpion is so good that you have to fight, and you should share it." The home pass is useful to me, I can't give it to you, I'll give you this weapon. ”

As he spoke, he threw the scorpiontail hook over.

Then he walked up to the badly wounded adventurer and said, "Your name is Lyle?"

The adventurer looked at Shen Yi blankly and nodded instinctively.

Shen Yi smiled: "For the sake of your name, I will help you." ”

The despicable medical technique was activated, and most of the adventurer's injuries healed immediately, and he stood up excitedly and thanked Shen Yi again and again.

Shen Yi then looked at Maria: "Is it enough?"

He thought that Mary should be content, but she replied: "Not enough, the Scorpion King was brought out by us, and it usually comes in groups." You can't kill it alone without us! I think you should give us the pass and get your own weapon. ”

Speaking of this, her eyes rolled: "Of course, if you give a little extra compensation, you can also consider it." ”

Zreg was in a hurry: "Don't listen to her nonsense, my lord, this woman is going crazy to bargain, and she has to fight for everything ......"

Shen Yi finally understood.

The feeling of this woman is not stupid, but she is born with this character, she is born to see money, she wants money and does not want her life, as long as she can fight for the benefits, she will never let go.

She is not really stupid, but she saw that Shen Yi was leaving, so she asked for benefits. If Shen Yi killed the Scorpion King, her first reaction would be to kill, just afraid that she would wipe her feet and slip away immediately.

As for the possibility of this kind of behavior provoking people and causing them to riot and kill, her brain, which was carried away by money, automatically ignored it.

That's the kind of person you're talking about.

At this moment, Shen Yi looked at Maria, thought for a while and said, "Since this is the case, I will give you a chance to face the boss alone." If you can catch it, all the gains are yours. ”

With that, he struck out in a flash of lightning, grabbed Maria, and ran away with her.

A group of adventurers in the back wanted to chase it, but where could they catch up with Shen Yi, who was as fast as the wind.

Mary screamed in fright, "Hey, where are you taking me?"

"Of course, it's to take you to kill the boss. I robbed you of a boss, so I'll give you back, don't worry, this one is easier to deal with than the Scorpion King. ”

"Which boss?"

"The queen ant. It just so happened that I promised my friends that I would give them a team assembly order, and if you can do it yourself, this assembly order will be yours. ”

"No......" Maria's face turned white with fright when she heard that she was going to deal with an ant nest of the same grade as the Flame Sand Scorpion. The queen ant is certainly not very attackable, but the guard ants and a large number of soldier ants around it are not a joke.

It's a pity that she was held hostage by Shen Yi, and she couldn't run away if she wanted to, so she could only look at Shen Yi pitifully: "I don't want extra compensation, okay?"

Shen Yi shook his head and replied: "No! I have to pay you back what I owe you today, and you have to ask for this compensation!"

Maria's eyes turned white and she fainted.

So she was caught by Shen Yi all the way, running all the way from the South Second District to the East Second District, because the Ant Hill itself is in the border area, and it is not far from the scorching desert, so when she woke up, she found that she had arrived at the Ant Hill.

Shen Yi didn't do any investigation and choice, he casually found a place where more than a dozen ant nests gathered, and rushed over when he saw a double C-level ant nest.

Seeing the dense army of ants in the distance, Maria screamed in fright.

However, Shen Yi ignored it, in the face of this surging ant army like a sea tide, he just grabbed Maria like that, opened the way with one hand, and rushed straight to the past.

In the face of this arrogant enemy, the entire ant army was boiling, countless stingers were shooting like flying locusts, and dense soldiers and ants were pouring in like a sea.

However, Shen Yi was like an ironclad battleship swimming in the stormy waves, although the waves were fierce, they could not capsize the ironclad battleship at all.

Mary only saw the man with her in her arms crash into the majestic army of ants, and march forward with an unstoppable momentum, and no ant could stop him for even a moment.

It wasn't until this moment that she really understood how strong the other party was, and realized that people really didn't care about the scorpion king's seduction tactics.

Shen Yi rushed into the ant nest, killed all the way to the deepest part, and finally saw the queen ant, he put Maria down and said, "Okay, now it's yours." ”

Looking at the giant queen, and then at the countless soldier ants and the five guard ants around her, Maria simply rolled her eyes and fainted again.

――――――――

When she woke up again, Maria found herself on a mountain.

At the foot of the mountain is the Ant Hill.

Shen Yi's figure can no longer be seen around, only a few lines of words are engraved on the big stone in front of him:

"Too big an appetite, too little guts. Giving you a chance to experience it alone is considered a cultivation and a punishment. The Ant Medal is used as compensation, and when you can't beat it, use the return gate to run away. ”

"P.S. Please keep your voice soft the next time you scream, and don't make it look like you've been raped. See you soon. ”

"Ah!" Maria cried out in a frenzy.

This guy just kidnapped himself from South 2nd to East 2nd, and then left him alone.

"Bastard, you big bastard, I don't want to see you again in my life!" Maria yelled in anger, forgetting what she had been going through.
