Cheney, an archmage who still had some knowledge of the various elements of power, heard Leon's words and muttered, "Are you saying that the space here is actually stretched?"

"Almost," Leon said.

Cheney pondered and said, "The hunter who escaped back at the beginning only described the mutated creatures he encountered, and didn't mention the change in distance at all, could it be that the space here hadn't been abnormal at that time?"

"Not all of them are sensitive to distance and space, and they are quickly attacked and don't have a chance to go deeper, so there's no way to tell," Leon said. ”

Cheney thought that what the young nobleman said made sense, and nodded involuntarily, but he quickly realized that something was wrong - there were two archmage-level spellcasters among those hunters, and they couldn't be sure, why did this lord, who seemed to be a melee class, know so clearly, and even the specific proportions?

At this time, Li Ang had already returned to the middle of the group, he observed the increasing black threads in Sophia's golden hair, and said, "It's okay, whether the space is abnormal or not, let's just keep walking." ”

"Also, Katarina, pay attention to the branches about ten meters in front of you," said the young man, "and a python is swimming over." ”

The knight girl immediately raised her head, the black branches shrouded in the mist in front of her were of varying thickness and thickness, and they were quite dense, and most of the back ends of the branches were hidden in the deeper mist, and if there were snakes swimming on them, it was really possible that many people would ignore them.

She walked forward, and the group began to move with it.

It's less than ten meters. A thick "branch" slowly fell, and Caterina did not hesitate, raising her sword and slashing at it.

Because of Leon's prompt. She had been paying attention to the abnormalities around her, and although the python, which looked like a thick branch, was straight, and the color of its skin was close to the trunk, the two eyes the size of rice grains at the top did not escape the girl's sight.

The python's reaction was quite quick, and when the sword flashed, its body suddenly arched backwards to dodge the attack, and then its head poked forward. A stream of green venom shot straight out of his mouth.

Caterina raised her shield to block the venom. In the battle in the swamp, there were venom-spewing vipers, and she easily blocked them all, but this time the situation was a bit unexpected.

The venom landed on the shield and made a "smack" sound. The surface of the shield was corroded into countless tiny dark green dents, and at the same time, a pungent smell emanated.

Katerina's shield is quite simple, in fact, it is a small round shield made of two layers of ordinary iron sheets attached, and it can be found in weapon shops in the City of Chaos. Fortunately, Li Ang bought a lot at once. That's why girls can use it until now.

From this, it can also be seen that the strength of this python is completely no longer on the same level as the swamp viper, and the venom spray alone can almost destroy a simple shield.

"Another one," Leon said.

Caterina looked at the surface of the shield, shook her head and said, "No, you can hold on for a while!"

The girl's thrift made the young man quite emotional, and he made up his mind that as soon as he had the opportunity, he would immediately get her a high-end product of good quality and durability. It must not be as "shabby" as it is now.

At this point, the python spat out venom again, and then it wrapped its tail around a thick branch. The body also leaned downward.

Caterina blocked the venom, and the long sword swung a fan-shaped white light in front of her, the range of this "arc light slash" was very large, and the python didn't expect that the target it was going to sneak attack would have such an attack, and it was too late to retract its body, so it was directly hit by the arc light slash and swung out to the side. At the same time, a deep wound appeared under the snake's head, but the failure of the arc slash to break it in two also surprised Caterina a little.

The python's body quickly retracted, trying to escape, but then his whole body trembled, and he was nailed directly to the trunk by four or five long arrows.

Dan withdrew his bow and arrows, Caterina changed her shield, and the group continued to grope their way through the forest as if nothing had happened.

After a while, Leon spoke again.

"Notice that there is a ...... thirty meters due north Big scorpions, let's meet them from the front, be careful. ”

As the words fell, the team led by Caterina changed direction and slowly moved towards the spot indicated by the young man.

In fact, they can go around without alarming the creature, but since they have already penetrated here, it is better to simply go over, anyway, the other party is just a single one, and they can also take this opportunity to feel the strength level of the deepest creature in the Black Forest.

"Attention, it's coming," Leon prompted again.

A moment later, there was a continuous crash in the woods, and then the canopy in front of them began to sway, and a large creature emerged from the thick fog.

This is indeed a "big" scorpion, so large that it can be compared to the spiny boar that it has encountered before, and even more so if you count the tail segment that rises upwards at the back of the body and the thick tail spines.

But the most obvious part of its body is not the knotted body and tail, but the pair of scorpions, if there is any comparison, it is estimated that it is Red's giant blade that can be compared. However, the shape of the scorpion is like a giant pair of scissors, and the sharp blade is also covered with a layer of fine fangs, which seems to be more visually striking.

In addition to the two aggressive parts of the tail spine and the scorpion crow, its body is also covered with a layer of hard shell composed of countless thick pieces of hard skin, when the giant scorpion crawled out of the woods, its body rubbed over several tree trunks, and even the hard bark of the black rock tree was partially hung off, you can imagine the strength of the hard shell.

"Hiss......"

Neither the young people around Leon nor the mountain people who had been living in the wolf's kiss forest had ever seen such a huge scorpion. Experienced mercenaries and hunters like Cheney and Boris and Hillarily had never seen it before, if they had heard of it, so many of them couldn't help but take a deep breath when the creature rampaged through the woods.

The giant scorpion stopped in front of the human, its upper body spun around, its three side eyes on the left and right flashed with a faint green light, and the five pairs of appendages except for the scorpion claw also trembled on the ground, as if assessing the danger of these strange creatures.

However, a moment later, its appendages suddenly staggered, dragging its massive body and began to accelerate, rushing straight towards the crowd. (To be continued......)
