Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Desert Scorpion
Although it was the first time to conduct and the first time to pass through the Famine Desert, Illya also meticulously designed the route of the crowd in an orderly manner.
Thanks to the efforts of all, the convoy reached the second safe rest point at noon.
"Okay, all attention, rest for 1 hour, and then go. Illya said briskly.
Immediately, the mercenaries scattered together to rest, but even during the break, they did not lay down their weapons, and at the same time cautiously observed their surroundings.
Sitting on the ground casually, Illya looked at the precautions summarized in her hand, and said to Fang Qiubai: "From here, it is very likely that we will encounter a large storm, and we will start to hurry in a while, even if there is no accident, we will not be able to reach a safe area until tomorrow." ”
Fang Qiubai followed and sat next to Illya, and the two of them were almost close together. Smelling the faint fragrance coming from Illya's body, he took a deep breath and said, "I can finally see a big scene like Desert Storm." ”
"You, don't make trouble for me!" Illya was a little shy by Fang Qiubai's actions, and when she saw the other party say this, she said angrily.
Soon, the rest time came, and with Illya's order, the convoy set off again, but unlike before, the mercenaries were in groups of two, with their hands on their weapons at all times, scattered to protect the caravan in the middle, and walked cautiously forward.
During the march, from time to time, a gust of wind would blow, which was not too strong, and the yellow sand would be raised all over the sky. From time to time, the Flying Sand Beast will turn into yellow sand and hide in it, being lifted by the wind, and suddenly attacking after approaching the mercenary.
However, because of the relatively complete information and the fact that the mercenaries are very cautious, these sudden attacks on the flying sand beasts can't even make everyone panic, and they will be completely killed by the mercenaries at the first time.
Watching Ginkgo biloba's mercenaries kill the monsters hiding in the shadows without panicking, and the speed of the march did not decrease in the slightest, Varif felt that he had chosen this newly established mercenary group to do the right thing. Not to mention the incredible masters in this team, it is these mercenaries who are clearly entering here for the first time, but they cooperate seamlessly and without flaws.
Suddenly, a tuft of fine sand not far ahead, suddenly and slowly, approached everyone. When they moved a short distance from the convoy, someone finally discovered the anomaly.
"Be careful, there's something approaching, it should be a desert scorpion. ”
Immediately, everyone's attention was immediately focused on the slowly moving pile of sand, and when they saw that the sand pile was getting closer and closer, the mercenaries stopped and were fully on guard.
The ground shook, and out of the small pile of fine sand suddenly a large pincer emerged. Then there was a second, slightly lower pincer, then a link-like body, and a tail with a poisonous needle.
A pitch-black and shiny giant scorpion the size of a tank in the previous life came out of the ground waving its claws, its two eyes alone were the size of a watermelon, and the poisonous needle erected on its tail was more than a meter above the ground, and it was not small compared to the common one in Illya's hand, and a cold light flashed from time to time.
"Desert Scorpion!" Varif's voice was mixed with concern.
"How is it possible, I really met Lu!" Illya Jiao exhaled.
"A scorpion, just slaughter it!" Fang Qiubai didn't feel nervous at all, and opened his mouth to propose.
Glaring at Fang Qiubai, Illya opened her mouth and ordered: "Pair up in pairs, attack alternately, be careful to be caught by the other party's claws, the stinger on the tail can be sprayed, the speed is extremely fast, be especially careful,"
At Illya's orders, the crowd cautiously gathered around, and Bruce swung his heavy sword and slashed at the giant scorpion's claws.
After a "bell", the heavy sword struck the hard shell of the giant scorpion, and a spark appeared, Bruce took two steps back, shook his hand fiercely, and said, "This ghost guy is too hard, isn't he?"
The giant scorpion took Bruce's sword, and did not seem to receive any damage, but was enraged, and smashed it down at Bruce with a huge claw.
Bruce, who was about to raise his sword to resist, looked at the claws, which were even bigger than himself, and finally chose to back down, kicked his foot violently, and flashed to the side.
The huge clawers smashed on the soft sand, and immediately exploded into the yellow sand with a bang, and a huge sand pit appeared in place.
Seeing that the deep pit that appeared was slowly filled with the returning yellow sand, Bruce said with some fear: "This strength is too great!"
At this time, the other members seized the opportunity to take advantage of the giant scorpion to attack, and immediately launched a fierce attack from around it, and a clanging sound came, although it did not shatter the carapace of the giant scorpion, but it also beat the huge monster into a painful roar, and even took a few steps back in pain under the slap of Balk's shield.
I didn't expect that a few of them would be able to suppress this huge demonic beast as soon as they met, and the mercenaries, who were originally only three or four levels, looked at each other excitedly and launched a fierce attack again.
Angered by a series of blows from the humans in front of him, the desert giant scorpion's huge eyes flashed with a burst of red light, and it turned around violently in place, and the huge tail flicked ferociously to attack.
Bruce and Farul hurriedly thrust their heavy swords into the ground, one hand against the blade, ready to resist.
With a bang, the two seemed to be hit by a galloping carriage, and involuntarily snorted and retreated. However, the scorpion's attack was also stopped, and the others immediately attacked.
Hughes's fist shone with a white light, and he smashed his fist the relatively small leg of the giant scorpion, and after a click, Xius's smashed through the somewhat weak shell of the giant scorpion's leg, and the punch completely sank into the opponent's leg, and when he pulled out his fist, a thick liquid intersecting yellow and green burst out from the wound.
The damaged giant scorpion let out a hissing roar, its huge eyes even redder as if it were about to drip blood, and it stared at Xiuth fiercely despite the attacks of the others, and the stinger on its tail glowed faintly red.
Then its huge tail flicked and stabbed, so fast that it was almost impossible to see, and a red poisonous needle flew towards Theseus.
"Martial Arts—Breaking the Sky!" Theseus roared, a punch thrown out from afar, and a blue-white whirlwind let out a scream that tore through the air, flying towards the poisonous needle.
With a pop, the small whirlwind was scattered by a blow from the poisonous needle, which continued to fly towards Xiuth, but at a slower speed.
After easily dodging and letting the poisonous needle shoot into the ground, Xius looked back, but was surprised to find that the ground stabbed by the poisonous needle had become extremely black, and he exclaimed: "My good man, even the sand is blackened, this hit people can still be done." ”
Because of Xiusi's demonstration, the mercenaries' targets were all locked on the remaining 5 legs of the giant scorpion, and everyone avoided the attack of the giant scorpion and attacked the thin legs of the other party with all their might.
After a while, more than half of the giant scorpion with wounded legs completely slowed down, and after being pierced through the huge eye by Bruce's sword, it struggled and tossed in place in pain for a long time, and finally died completely.
"Is this as easy as that?" Varif on the side was a little dumbfounded, when the Thunderwolf mercenary group faced the sudden attack of the giant scorpion, but it lost a lot of manpower before it barely won.
Of course, Fang Qiubai couldn't directly tell the other party that this was because his own people's armor was well defended, and the weapons were much stronger than ordinary weapons, he opened his mouth and smiled: "This shows that our mercenaries are strong and cooperate well." When the time comes, remember to recommend some businesses to us. ”
Looking at Fang Qiubai with some tears and laughter, Varif couldn't understand that the other party was said to have several masters with indescribable strength, but he wanted to run to create a mercenary group, and he didn't forget to pull business.
"Let's hurry up and pack up the loot, and then continue to set off!" Illya glanced at Fang Qiubai amusedly, and gave an order.
"Wait a minute, Captain Illya, if you don't mind, I'm ready to buy this desert giant scorpion. Varif said, looking at the corpse of the desert scorpion.
"Okay, do you need us to do it?" said Illya, without hesitation. Because of the armor provided by the assembly, these high-level monster corpses are difficult for ordinary people to obtain to make armor and weapons, but Illya doesn't care.
"No, it's the most valuable thing to be almost complete like this. ”
"But we want the magic crystal!" Fang Qiubai said.
