Chapter 496: Abnormality
Cheney and Boris have been hunters in the Black Forest for many years, and they are quite familiar with the process of dismembering their prey and removing usable materials, even if the prey is a giant scorpion, and after a period of research and experimentation, they are beginning to see results.
The vitality of the giant scorpion's body had long since disappeared, and the strong tendons that connected the layers of hard armor gradually became loose, and they first cut off the nearby tendons, then turned them from below with a hunting dagger, and then pulled upwards with a force, and a piece of hard armor skin was completely removed.
For nearly an hour and a half, most of the giant scorpion's thick armor skin was collected into the dimensional bag, and after another thirty minutes, the intact scorpion tail was carefully removed by the two. When it was the scorpion claw's turn, it was a bit laborious, and this part was too heavy for Cheney to help, even if Boris was there to help.
At this time, Leon appeared next to him, he raised the scorpion claw, and Cheney and Boris were busy at the junction of the scorpion claw and the giant scorpion's body, and this was the end of it.
However, when the two huge scorpion claws were placed on the ground, the young man discovered a rather embarrassing fact - just like his original leader's axe, the length of the scorpion claws with complete arthropods exceeded the limit of the dimensional bag, so it could not be put in at all.
Cheney said: "My lord, in fact, the arthropods are not very useful, otherwise they will be unloaded together, and it should be no problem if you just carry the scorpion claws." ”
Leon didn't answer for the time being, he circled around the scorpion claw, and suddenly remembered a question - in fact, on many occasions, the wooden stick and shovel that he picked up casually could be picked up and dried. Can such a scorpion claw also be considered a weapon?
So he "examined" it, and got an unexpected result-
"Type: Common item
Designation: Rough mutant creature limbs
Damage: 5-30 (blunt)
12-28 (Slash)
“...... Is this okay?" said Leon, surprised with a hint of joy.
Although the scorpion claw does not have any attributes, it does not have any special abilities. However, the damage is not bad, and it can be used as a large weapon temporarily. And judging from the information obtained from the examination, it can be used as a weapon such as a combat hammer to deal blunt damage to the target, or it can be used to attack with the two sides of the giant claw that is exposed in the middle after the giant claw is separated, which will cause slash damage similar to that of a sharp weapon.
The young man grabbed the end of the bottommost arthropod of the scorpion claw and lifted it up. Although the stiffness of the arthropods is not enough. So much so that it bends slightly under the weight of the scorpion claw, and it is not as easy to hold as a real war hammer, but it can still be used reluctantly.
He came to a black rock tree under the puzzled eyes of his companions. Swung out the scorpion claw vigorously.
With a muffled sound, the canopy of the Black Rock Tree began to shake violently, and the hard bark was smashed to pieces in the splinter of sawdust. A deep depression appeared inside.
“...... Not bad. Leon picked up the scorpion claw casually, and was satisfied with the result, but this thing was inconvenient after all, so when he was about to leave the Black Forest after a while, he would unload it and take the scorpion claw out.
"Your Excellency...... Your strength is simply too strong," Cheney sighed heartily.
Leon didn't bother to speak, but walked straight back, because he suddenly had another idea.
"Lulu!" shouted the young man.
Ever since the end of the battle, he's been scratching his ears and cheeks. The ape, who seemed to be waiting for the meal, immediately ran over.
Leon waved the huge "weapon" in his hand, and then pointed at Lulu. He pointed to the scorpion claw on the ground, and after repeating this several times, the ape finally seemed to understand a little.
Lulu slowly leaned over and lifted the scorpion claw easily, and when he saw Leon smile and nod at it, the ape's other hand began to beat his chest, and his mouth made a "purring" sound.
Next, it followed Leon's demonstration, and together with him, picked up the scorpion claw and struck the black rock tree, that is, in less than ten minutes, at least twenty or thirty black rock trees around it were all smold, and the leaves falling from the canopy could almost cover the ground with a thick layer.
Leon's companions had long since dispersed to the side, watching their "wreath" with strange eyes, and several of the girls laughed and shook their heads, helpless at the young man's actions.
“...... Bored little boy," Fiona said with her arms folded.
......
"Let's go!"
With the young man's order, people left the battlefield of the giant scorpion and marched deeper, in the crowd, Li Ang and Lu Lu were each carrying a huge scorpion claw, which was quite imposing at first glance.
At this time, it was already past noon, but since most of the people had not participated in the battle just now, their bodies had remained in full condition, and Katarina's injuries had long been relieved, so Leon did not set up camp to rest, but just ate something casually on the road and continued to walk through the dense fog with his group.
They were on high alert along the way, but since entering the area, they had hardly encountered any mutated creatures except for the python at the beginning and the giant scorpion that followed, and the road had been fairly calm, with only the sound of their own footsteps in their ears, and the occasional cry of an unknown creature in the distance.
But this is in the depths of the Black Forest, where the ubiquitous thick fog envelops the surroundings, and there is often an indescribable smell of corruption rushing to the face, and this unusual calmness can seem quite strange.
Before they knew it, they had been on the march for hours, from afternoon to dusk, and from dusk to night, and the woods were getting a little gloomy. Soon, the sunlight finally disappeared from the earth, and the extremely thick darkness descended on the vast Black Forest like some kind of behemoth, engulfing their figures at the same time.
Fortunately, almost half of these people are third-order powerhouses, and their eyesight is not comparable to ordinary people, and they can still maintain a certain range of vision. In particular, two spellcasters like Cheney and Erin can cast dark vision on themselves, Boris, as a hunter who often roams the forest, also has a bottle or two of similar potions to spare, and those mountain people themselves come from the dark environment of the wolf's kiss forest, and their eyesight is not much worse.
As for the elves, needless to say, except for Luna, who was slightly worse, the gaze of the ranger and swordsman was still able to penetrate a distance of about ten meters in the dark.
However, the change in the environment still brought a lot of psychological pressure to them.
"Okay, stop," Li Ang said suddenly, "It's a little dangerous to go any further, so we'll camp here, rest and set off tomorrow." (To be continued......)
