Chapter 491: Black Forest (40)
Caterina was the first to catch up, and the shield blocked a scorpion claw, but the scorpion claw parted and clamped in the middle, and both sides of the shield were cut more than a finger wide.
With all her might, the girl pulled her shield out of the scorpion claw, then swung it again, striking at the other scorpion claw that was coming in her way.
With a "bang", the scorpion claw slammed back in the shock of the impact, and a clear crack appeared in the shield along the gap just now.
However, just as she wanted to check the damage to the shield, she noticed a little light in the afterglow.
Caterina raised her shield to block the front without thinking, and with a "ding" sound, the tail spines of the giant scorpion directly penetrated the two layers of iron sheets, and poked out more than ten centimeters behind the shield, hovering in front of the girl.
The people who were rushing over had just breathed a sigh of relief, when suddenly a bright light appeared again on the tail thorn, and the needle actually left the body and flew towards the girl's face.
In the nick of time, Katerina's head tilted to the side, and although she avoided the blow, the needle was directly nailed to her shoulder.
The girl immediately abandoned her shield and retreated a few meters as a rain of arrows appeared from behind and rained down on the giant scorpion, trying to block its possible pursuit.
The huge creature paid no attention to it, it didn't even bother to move, and let the arrows rain down on its body. With a dense crash of metal, the iron arrows could not pierce the giant scorpion's hard shell, sliding staggering across its body, sending a series of sparks with it.
At this time, the giant scorpion did not take the opportunity to attack, and the upright scorpion tail was swinging in the air with a tattered shield. As if provoking these weak humans, a stinging needle appeared at the tip of its tail that had regrown at some point.
At this time, Leon appeared next to Caterina and hurriedly asked, "How are you!"
The knight girl looked at the tail of the needle that was exposed above her shoulder. Shaking his head, he said, "It's okay, it's a little careless." ”
In fact, everyone knows that it is not her carelessness, but the sudden outbreak of the giant scorpion's attack power completely exceeds the bearing capacity of this shield, but fortunately, she did not lead to any serious consequences, if it is another person, maybe even if she holds the shield to defend, she will be hit hard by three consecutive blows.
Of course, Leon was not at ease. Immediately pressed the other party's shoulder and took a closer look, but fortunately, the girl's protection was quite strong, and the needle only penetrated a little bit and could not continue to go deeper.
Caterina pulled out the needle and threw it away. Raising the long sword, he said, "It's really okay, I'll continue to block it, and you look for weaknesses to attack." ”
As he threw away the needle, Leon could clearly see that the sharp tip of the needle was stained with Caterina's blood. And there is a hint of blue in the red blood. He pressed the girl's hand and said with a stern expression: "Actually, I underestimated the creatures here, and brought everyone to approach without being fully prepared. ”
The girl immediately wanted to say something when she heard him, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was stopped, and then the young man continued: "The needle is poisonous, you can deal with it yourself, and we will leave it here." ”
Next, Leon turned to face the massive and powerful creature. Slowly said to his companions: "Everyone retreat, pay attention to other directions. Cheney, Irene, you attack. ”
With that, he unleashed the Lion's Roar and then the Roar of the Lion, increasing the buffs of protection and resistance to his companions. The veteran mercenaries and mage girls also moved quickly, first a layer of arcane structure oil appeared in the area between the giant scorpion and the human, and then a dozen ice arrows flew towards the creature on the opposite side after a few seconds.
The giant scorpion sensed that an attack was approaching, and with a flick of its tail, its shield flew far away, and it didn't know which tree it had hit, making a dull sound, and the two giant claws of the huge creature like scissors closed together at the same time, blocking its eyes.
The Ice Arrows all hit the target, but the hard shell on the giant scorpion's body showed a slight fluctuation, and the Ice Arrow was first weakened by this fluctuation, and then blocked by the smooth pieces of hard skin, minimizing the damage, and even not causing any substantial damage to it at all.
The attack of the two casters was perceived as a stern provocation by the giant scorpion, and the massive creature gradually approached, brandishing its giant scorpion claws and swaying its sharp tail spines, looking rather unscrupulous and faintly arrogant.
The giant scorpion entered the range of the greasy operation in the expectant eyes of many people, it first leaned slightly, but the five pairs of appendages immediately went deep into the soil as support to stabilize the body, and then took turns to exert force, although it was a little slower, but it could easily crawl steadily in the greasy operation.
"Erin, when Cheney freezes it, you can blast it with a fireball!" Leon said.
Cheney's expression was quite solemn at this time, and he stood the staff in front of him with both hands, and said, "Frost Breath!"
The outbreak of a wide range of low-temperature cold completely swept the body of the huge creature, and in the blink of an eye, the shell was covered with a crystal ice layer again, the speed of the giant scorpion gradually became slower, and at the same time, its body seemed to be unable to endure the low temperature formed by this five-ring secret method, and the appendages and tail trembled slightly.
However, the ice soon began to crumble in pieces as it moved, and it seemed that the Frost Breath's motion-restricting effect had no real effect on the giant scorpion, and it seemed impossible to tell if it had been injured in the arcane method.
Erin's fireball technique came one after the other, and before the giant scorpion's speed could recover, the flames also engulfed it, but two giant scorpion claws appeared in the flames, and swept back and forth to suppress the fire, and then the giant scorpion burst out of the flames, and at the same time left the range of the greasy technique.
"My lord!" Cheney shouted, "its shell is too resistant to the elements!
"It's okay...... Leon swept his gaze over the giant scorpion and said, "You guys step back, I'll try." ”
This opponent is indeed quite tough, and Leon is ready to let Sapa play to see what the fourth-order powerhouse can do to it.
Soon, Sapa's figure appeared beside him. The barbarian swept his gaze left and right, raised his spear and pointed at the giant scorpion and shouted, "This is our enemy?"
"Yes," Leon said, "it's strong. Let's go together. ”
"Strong?" Sapa replied even more excitedly, with a happy face, "That's great!"
His high-pitched voice seemed to irritate the giant scorpion even more, and the massive creature was originally targeting Cheney and Erin, but suddenly turned around and headed for Sapa and Leon.
The barbarian picked up his spear, and the four engravings on the spear immediately generated power fluctuations. Then four shockwaves coalesced from the tip of the spear, surging forward with his movements.
The scorpion claws had just swept over from both sides, when suddenly the giant scorpion sensed the danger. The massive limbs retracted and overlapped to block its head.
The shockwave swirled and struck the scorpion claw. The fluctuations on the outside of the giant scorpion's body also weakened the barbarian's combat skills, and its shell was not only incredibly hard. That unusually smooth-looking surface layer also seems to have a peculiar effect. It can resist the effects of arcane methods and combat skills on a considerable distance.
However, Sapa was a fourth-order powerhouse after all, and his control and use of power surpassed that of Caterina and the others, he let out a loud roar, the shockwave suddenly thickened, and the speed of rotation doubled, and the effect of the giant scorpion to counteract the attack was immediately dwarfed, and he retreated backwards step by step.
After a few seconds, the power of the shock wave dissipated. However, the barbarian also came close and raised his spear and stabbed it. The tip of the spear hit the scorpion claw on the right side.
Sapa's full force blow was indeed very effective, not only forcing the opponent to switch to defense, but also the spear left a round hole in the shell of the scorpion's claw, although it was small, but after all, it was the first time that the human side broke through the natural protection of the giant scorpion.
For the first time, the giant creature made a sound, a sound close to "sizzling", presumably in pain, or perhaps in threat.
The shockwave was completely eliminated, and Leon launched a charge at the first time, and the entrained shockwave had no effect on the giant scorpion, but he immediately slashed it with a sword, targeting the junction between the giant scorpion claw and the arthropods below, trying to cut it off.
The Immortal Vanguard flashed by, making a crisp crash on the arthropods, but it didn't achieve its intended goal, leaving only a white mark at the intersection of the arthropods.
The young man was not discouraged, he jumped up almost at the same time, and struck a punch right in the middle of the scorpion claw.
Even his fist ached a little at this moment, but Li Ang keenly noticed that the hole in the scorpion claw seemed to appear at the edge of the edge after this punch.
"As long as there is a result, it will be done......" the young man thought with a hint of relief.
The giant scorpion immediately moved after being injured, and the two scorpion claws swung left and right, opening their arms and squeezing towards the nearest young man.
Even if Leon was strong in his body, he didn't dare to straighten his head, and immediately stepped back, and in his sight, the tail of the giant scorpion was rising forward. He knew that this was the other party's tail stinging attack again, but he didn't care much about it, after all, there was only one stinging needle, and it was estimated that he could dodge it.
What happened next was unexpected, the giant scorpion's tail spines suddenly swung sharply, and with this strange movement, dozens of stingers shot out continuously.
“...... I'll do it!"
The young man was taken aback, and immediately retreated, and he did not dare to retreat in the direction of his companions, for fear that they would also be affected, and such an attack was not something they could resist.
In the process, the Immortal Vanguard swung in his hand, knocking most of the needles away, but at the same time, there were bursts of stabbing pain in his arm and chest, apparently from the needle. Leon raised his hand and glanced at it in his busy schedule, but fortunately, there were only two, and the wound was not deep, it could even be said that it was lighter than Katarina's injury, and the toxin contained in it had little effect on him, and even his health had not dropped significantly.
At this moment, the barbarian shouted loudly, and the shockwave reappeared, drawing the attention of the giant scorpion, and ten seconds later, Sapa's spear hit the scorpion claw again, leaving the same hole.
The giant scorpion blocked the barbarian's attack, and it was estimated that it thought that Leon's strength was relatively weak, so it put aside the big man and climbed over at a very fast speed.
With a "click", the scorpion claw pinched off a black rock tree blocking its path, showing the amazing attack power of the huge creature, and at this time, Leon turned back from the other side of the fallen tree and said to Sapa, "It's too slow to fight like this, let's compete with it!"
