Chapter 177: The Three-Tailed Scorpion King
Early the next morning, Akali and his party took advantage of the early morning fog to dissipate, and quickly rushed to the vicinity of the castle, where the black outline of the castle had appeared in the fog, waiting for the next group of powerful or ignorant adventurers.
"Looks like we've arrived. Akali motioned for a momentary pause. "Speaking of which, there are countless legends about this dragon city, and these may be helpful in our battle. β
"I've heard my grandfather say that this dragon city is home to a powerful green dragon that has summoned countless minions to slaughter nearby humans, and has occupied most of Wales in more than a hundred years, but the dragon seems to have descended here overnight, and I don't know what happened to the road. White was the first to say what he knew.
"Speaking of which, I seem to be able to sense a very strange amount of force in this castle, which has some similarities with the strength of our druids......" Eve said cautiously.
"By the way, when I was wandering around yesterday, I heard from the townsfolk around me that it seems that they had seen elves in the forest......" Fluttershy recounts what she found. "But what the hell is an elf? a creature that looks like me?"
"In that case, Fluttershy really resembles the legendary elves. Akali said. "However, I personally feel that elves are just a creature that exists in people's imaginations, after all, there has been no tangible evidence of elves for thousands of years. β
"All this can only be known by waiting for us to go in and explore. Fluttershy nodded. "Still, I'm looking forward to meeting other humanoid races in this world. β
"By the way, Yunhai, wouldn't you have been talking at length a long time ago, why didn't you make any sound at all?" Akali noticed that someone seemed to have not spoken all this time, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"I'm naturally looking at this. Yun Hai said and took out the map in his hand.
"Map?" Akali slapped on Yunhai's head. "There is such a useful thing, why didn't you take it out earlier?"
"It hurts!" Yun Hai rubbed his head and explained aggrievedly, "I was going to say it, but you never gave me a chance......"
"Alright, alright, let's see what's on the map. Fluttershy grabs the map and says. "It seems that this map is the original layout of the castle, from the entrance to the innermost throne is clearly marked. β
"This is what I asked the mayor yesterday, and it just so happens that his grandfather's grandfather was the steward of the castle, so he left this precious map, and we can judge where we are by that. Saying that, Yunhai still said his own idea. "It is said that the green dragon is in the deepest seat of the throne, and according to my judgment, if the green dragon is the same size as the silver dragon, the entire castle can only be accommodated by the garden and the hall of the throne, so the rumors should be credible. And if we want to break through to the throne as quickly as possible, the nearest route is from the entrance to the moat, to the clock tower, then to the garden, and then to the throne inside. β
"I probed just now, the green dragon is really very cautious, in the sky of the castle, all kinds of magic traps emerge one after another, we must not enter the castle from the air, otherwise we will inevitably usher in a tragic end. White took out a strange little instrument from his pocket, looked at it for a while, and said.
"Then let's do it according to the plan of the sea of clouds. Akali nodded, and rushed out of the city first. "Speaking of which, the entrance to the castle is here, right?"
"Well, but we'll have to be careful if there are any enemies along the way. Yunhai nodded.
"Why, we came all the way and didn't see a single enemy...... Akali said easily.
However, Yunhai suddenly felt a murderous aura coming from under Akali's feet!
"Be careful!"
Time was pressing, and Yun Hai didn't have time to think about it, he hurriedly threw Akali who didn't know what was happening to Akali, and in an instant, from Akali's feet, countless vines pierced out, like several sharp swords!
"This is ......" White shouted, hurriedly throwing a fireball over, and said, "This is a blood-sucking demon grass, don't be stabbed by this guy!"
When Fluttershy heard that this thing was a demon grass, she didn't dare to slack off, and the ominous flame flew out in an instant, increasing the fire of the demon grass a little more, and the evil cloud sword was unsheathed at the right time, piercing into the earth at once, digging out the roots of this demon grass!
After the demon grass was uprooted, it was still in the last desperate struggle, but as the ominous flame that burned more and more vigorously burned the entire demon grass, it finally turned to ashes.
But at this moment......
"How long are you going to lie on top of me!"
At this time, the three people who were busy fighting monsters reacted, and found that the two of them were still in the same way as before, lying on the ground in a very ambiguous posture.
"Oh, are you undergoing a beating again?" Fluttershy deliberately lengthens her voice.
"Uh, no, you listen to me......" Yun Hai was just halfway through his words when he was kicked over by Akali.
"Really, so disrespectful to Princess Ben, if someone else else could be sentenced to death......" Akali got up, pouting and patting the dust on her body. "Either you can hold it tightly......"
"......" The sea of clouds is now jumping into the sea, and it can't be washed away. "Don't get me wrong, Fluttershy, I'm just here to save her......"
"Anyway, I'll have knocked you off the ground, cut ......" Fluttershy waved her little fist and walked over with a swagger.
"And you, next time pay attention to your step, especially if you talk a little brain......" Yunhai hurriedly chased after him, and didn't forget to leave a word for Akali.
"I ...... Woo......" Akali stared at the back of Yunhai with resentment.
With the lesson just now, the group was obviously much more cautious in their actions, although along the way, all kinds of moving plants appeared in an endless stream, but in front of the five people who were on guard plus one Suzaku, there was no longer any threat.
Soon, everyone broke through to the front of the city gate, the once prosperous and strong city wall is now dilapidated, overgrown with all kinds of plants, countless animals live in it, and there is no difference from the surrounding scenery.
"Nature will always be able to bring everything back to its roots, no matter how much humans try to transform it. Eve said suddenly.
"Yes, human beings are always children of nature, and by no means masters of nature. Yunhai agreed.
"I said you two, there's nothing to do here, let's see if there's any threat here?" Akali shouted impatiently.
"There doesn't seem to be any trace of magic here. White examined it carefully and said. "But this green dragon is really powerful, this kind of magic to transform plants is not something that humans can master. β
"Speaking of which, we've been walking for so long, we must have encountered some difficult enemies...... Woooooo
"Hey, don't talk casually!" Yun Hai broke out in a cold sweat and hurried over to cover her mouth. "Have you forgotten what happened to you last time in Lenghua Palace!"
"Ahh Akali suddenly remembered that unpleasant experience, and couldn't help but "chuckle" in her heart.
Suddenly, the whole earth shook, as if something was about to emerge from the ground.
"Be careful, everyone!"
The sea of clouds flies up and picks up Fluttershy, who is overwhelmed, and the others hurry up and float in the air, unaware of what is happening in the road.
Then, in the underground of the castle, a huge scorpion crawled out, big enough to fill the gate that could run sixteen horses side by side, and the tail of this pitch-black scorpion was not one, nor two, but actually three thick ones, and at the end of each tail, there was a poisonous needle that shimmered with cyan light, and at a glance there was a poison that sealed the throat with blood.
"Ahββββh
"Hold her, hold her, damn it......" Both Akali fears all kinds of poisonous insects, spiders, scorpions, etc., but this time Yunhai has learned to be smart and doesn't do it himself, leaving Eve to take care of her, lest Fluttershy get angry again.
"Three-tailed Scorpion King, how poisonous is this......" Yun Hai's head also broke out in a cold sweat. "Ordinary scorpions only have one tail, and the scorpion that has lived for decades or even hundreds of years, the toxicity is far from being comparable to ordinary scorpions, and has become one of the most poisonous poisons in the world, they gave birth to a second tail, known as the two-tailed giant scorpion, is a very dangerous monster, only in the northwest three thousand miles of quicksand and the 10,000-year-old forest in the south of Xinjiang have their figures, and the scorpion that has lived for thousands of years has become the three-tailed scorpion king, it is said that its tail can directly poison the immortals, only in the monster that exists in the Book of Mountains and Seas, I didn't expect that I didn't meet in Shenzhou, but I met in this distant Britainγ β
But the only way at the moment is to slaughter this guy, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, Yunhai hurriedly used the ancient runes to block the tail attacked by the Scorpion King, and swept the Excalibur backhand, scratching the tail of the Scorpion King, but failed to cut it, the Scorpion King was furious, and his huge body suddenly began to rush towards the sea of clouds, shaking the mountains for a while.
"This guy is probably afraid of fire, too, let's give it a try!" Fluttershy says, and then switches to a butterfly fan, and a purple fireball appears on her chest, growing larger and larger, gradually condensing into a huge fireball about Fluttershy's height, flashing with an eerie purple light!
