Chapter 35: The Canyon Pioneer in the Underground Lake (2)
The Canyon Pioneer is essentially a swift crab corrupted by the void, and as the Pioneer Eye is hit hard, the timid nature of the swift crab loses its void suppression and is awakened.
With a wail, the Canyon Vanguard turned and fled into the lake—with the vitality of the void creatures, as long as they were not killed on the spot, they could heal from multiple injuries
But the greedy Void does not allow any creature to escape its grasp, and the Canyon Vanguard has barely stepped into the lake before turning back—the Void forcing it to attack the crowd.
It finally learned to be smart and began to use its excellent hearing and cilia on its feet to sense ground vibrations to locate the four.
The Canyon Vanguard chooses the most threatening Blue Feather as the target to pursue.
But it couldn't catch up with Blue Feather, who used the power of the stars to activate the Ascension Posture.
Everyone found that the frontal carapace could not be penetrated, neither the stab nor the ice crystal spike could penetrate the crab shell and hurt the flesh and blood, and even the explosion of the grenade could only leave a black mark on the shell.
The Pioneer of the Canyon followed the voices of the crowd step by step, but it did not make a charge, and pursued the crowd with its eyes that had become scarlet from the bleeding under its eyes. Its sheer size allows it to travel nearly two meters in a single step.
"Spread out, run diagonally, kite it, try to get around its back and attack."
The sheer size made it difficult for the Canyon Pioneer to turn, and when the four ran in a zigzag, it couldn't keep up and was thrown off a significant distance.
After chasing it for a while, it suddenly felt a sharp pain in its back, and obsidian's recurve bow and arrow pierced its body.
Only then did the Canyon Vanguard feel that something was wrong, and hurriedly switched the target.
As soon as it turned around, another ice pick nailed its back armor, but it didn't penetrate - as a void creature, the Canyon Pioneer's magic resistance was extremely high, and it was still high after being weakened by "Vulnerable".
After turning around and being beaten, this was repeated many times before the unintelligent mind of the canyon pioneer thought that he should force the target to the wall to solve it.
……
The pioneer of the canyon is approaching step by step, and everyone's maneuver space is greatly compressed.
Running towards the wall and being forced into a dead end was a dead end, and Blue Feather commanded the group to cross the narrow path exposed when the lake was at low tide, and go to the wider opposite bank and the pioneer of the canyon.
Due to the loss of continuous attack suppression, the void energy had stabilized the injuries in its body, and its jaw was no longer dripping blood.
It takes energy to stabilize the wound, but I don't know how long it will take to drain the energy in this guy's body.
If this continues, the quick battle will turn into a war of attrition.
The growing movement must have attracted the attention of the other void creatures, and they didn't have much time left.
It has to be done quickly.
Blue Feather took out the Eternal Flame Torch, hoping that the elemental flames would burn the Canyon Pioneer.
The Canyon Pioneer approached, and he narrowed his eyes as a pair of crab claws approached......
The torch and a "Honkai" were hurled at the Canyon Vanguard, and the flames licked the crab's forelimbs and burned like hay.
The elements of Runeterrae spontaneously resisted the invasion of the Otherworld, and soon the smell of grilled seafood filled the air, followed by the stench of burned tires.
"Honkai" cracked the carapace of the canyon pioneer's forelimbs, and tongues of fire swept inside.
The canyon pioneer hissed incessantly, and it trembled, its carapace gradually turning from purple-black to reddish-purple, like a crab in a steamer.
But the fire did not directly burn the canyon vanguard to ashes as expected. Suddenly, the Canyon Pioneer's burning limbs fell - the crabs in the steamer would lose their legs.
The detached limbs fell into the lake with a thud, and the elemental flames burned in the water, and the light of the fire reflected by the ripples made the dark cavern much brighter.
Although freed from the cautery of the elemental flames, the Canyon Vanguard was also seriously injured. The stabilized injury worsened again, and its forelimbs fell off, leaving only a pair of large crab claws and hind limbs; The carapace on the chest was charred black;
And the soft entrails inside the carapace on the back were blown up by a grenade and were covered with shrapnel. The vigorous movement caused shrapnel to roll inside it, causing great pain to the Canyon Pioneer.
The lower jaw is missing, and only the tubular tongue is mostly growing.
No one expected that in the next second, green corrosive gastric juice spurted out of the tongue.
The acid splashed down, white smoke rose from the walls and floors, and in a short time small craters appeared, and even the obsidian and enamel could not escape the fate of corrosion.
The power of the biochemical barrage frightened everyone, and if it was sprayed to keep the corroded bones, there would be no left.
"Quick, jump into the lake."
All four of them could swim, and they immediately plopped into the crater lake.
Jumping into the lake could not completely dodge the acid attack, the canyon pioneer began to spray into the lake, and the green acid entered the lake and spread. The slowly acidifying water of the lake made everyone's eyes feel a burning pain that grew stronger and stronger.
After a short time in the water, they need to surface to breathe, and that is the most dangerous moment. The Canyon Vanguard will surely seize the opportunity to attack.
Blue Feather swam to the shore, ready for a surprise attack to try to finish off the badly injured Canyon Pioneer.
On the shore, the Canyon Vanguard approached the lake, ready to launch an attack.
......
Blue Feather lay in ambush in the water on the shore, aiming at the pioneer of the canyon and bursting into attack, and his body, strengthened by the power of the stars and the negative entropy field, stepped on the rocks at the bottom of the water and rushed out of the water. Jumping three meters and landing between the two corners of the canyon pioneer, he took out a grenade and prepared to throw it......
On the back of the Canyon Pioneer, the Eye of the Void was staring at him.
The eerie gaze stunned him for a moment, and he slipped off the smooth carapace of the canyon vanguard and fell onto the rugged ground.
The crowd who floated to the surface for ventilation witnessed the scene.
"Captain!"
"Captain!"
Void energy flowed to the forelimbs of the Canyon Pioneer, and it roared, beginning to charge up for the slash.
At the last moment, Blue Ice took out the Staff of the Void from the ice. Ice and water are of the same origin, and she draws blue energy from the lake water, pouring all of them into the Staff of the Void.
The Canyon Vanguard is about to slash.
At the critical moment, the frost energy ray hit the Canyon Pioneer head-on, instantly piercing through the extremely high magic resistance shell and entering its body.
Under the extreme cold, all the important organs of the canyon pioneer froze, and the water in the cells turned into ice crystals and pierced the cell walls. It extinguishes all the vitality of the cells of the organs.
Under one blow, all the important organs of the canyon pioneer were completely destroyed at the cellular level, and no matter how strong the vitality was, it would be useless.
The acid sac was also destroyed, and the corrosive liquid cooled to freezing point, emitting cold air pouring into its cavity.
The frost energy continued unabated, directly penetrating through its back carapace, and the cracks on the carapace expanded all over its body!
Suffering such a blow, even if the arthropod's nerves were no longer developed, the canyon pioneer's painful eyes spun wildly like a top, and in the violent struggle, the white viscous paste was thrown out of the wound - its crab paste was beaten out.
The Swift Crab's fear of death resurfaces, confronting the whispers of the void in the Canyon Pioneer's mind.
Blue Feather quickly climbed up, piercing one of the canyon pioneer's capsule eyes with the rune sword, and then stabbed into the canyon pioneer's other capsule eye. Caused two bursts.
The Canyon Pioneer lost both eyes and was blinded in the back eye, and became completely blind.
The cilia on the Canyon Pioneer's feet had been burned clean by the Eternal Flame, and it was no longer able to hunt down enemies even if it was blind.
At this moment, the Canyon Pioneer is not even a moving target, at most it is a wooden pillar, and everyone only needs to deal all their own damage to it to win.
Blue Ice finds the extinguished Eternal Flame Torch and retrieves the smoldering Eternal Flame in the water, inoculating it into the Canyon Vanguard.
Defenseless, the Canyon Pioneer could only watch as he was burned to death.
……
The Pioneer of the Canyon was like being ignited by an incendiary bomb, and all over his body burst into flames. The carapace was deformed by the flames, and bodily fluids were oozing from the arthropods.
Somehow, the Canyon Vanguard slowly stood up, and everyone could clearly see its body deformed under the outline of the flames—purple-black, returning to normal green, and then being burned red in an instant.
There was a sense of relief in its black eyes—the eternal flame had cleansed the void of corruption.
The giant canyon swift crab charges the rock face with its last strength.
The stone spikes pierced its head, ending its pain.
But!
During the battle just now, the Canyon Pioneer's Void Body Fluid splashed onto Blue Feather's left arm.
Hurt!
It hurts to drill the heart!
It's as if a little insect made of iron pulls flesh from its arm with its big jaw!
It was as if a high concentration of aqua regia was dripping on his arm.
In just an instant, the place on the forearm that was splashed by the fishy slurry was already sizzling, and the flesh and blood along the way turned black and necrotic at high speed and turned into pus, dripping on the ground, and the underground moss that was splashed quickly died.
Lan Yu could feel that the void energy was seeping into the blood vessels......
If contaminated blood flows throughout the body, the consequences are devastating.
Without hesitation, Blue Feather used the power of entropy to suppress the corrosion, then drew the rune sword, avoiding the arteries, and slashed off a large piece of flesh and blood in the contaminated area with a single sword.
To be on the safe side, he cut off a piece of the healthy tissue around him, and Sen Ran's arm bones were faintly visible through the thin tissue that remained.
Lan Yu wanted to scream loudly in pain, but he stuck his neck with his uninjured right hand, lest the screams attract the Void Monster.
Blood!
In the severe pain, Lan Yu did not lose his mind, he stared wide to observe the color of the blood flowing out, fortunately, it was not a reflective liquid that flowed out, the latter was the worst case, indicating that the void monster had been conceived in the body.
The blood that came out was dark red venous blood.
Lan Yu barely breathed a sigh of relief.
