Chapter Three Hundred and Thirty-Three: Die Laughing, Don't Break Defense at All
In the dark cave, a ray of fire suddenly appeared, illuminating a small area.
Lu Qing held a torch in her hand and walked carefully in the mine.
With eagle eyes, she can see things in the dark clearly even without any light, so lighting the torch is not to provide vision, but for other purposes.
Waving the torch forward, the blazing heat will drive back the insects clinging to the ground.
This is a strange bug that lives in the mine. It looks a bit like a beetle. It has an auburn carapace with blood-red spots on its body. It moves in groups. Its favorite food is iron ore. If you are really hungry,
Even stones can be swallowed into the stomach.
These bugs hate light and high temperatures and will not actively attack other organisms.
When I was cleaning up my house, there was a swarm of these bugs living in the corner of one of the rooms.
According to the old man, this kind of bug is very common in caves and abandoned houses in dark forests. If you encounter it in a mine, you only need to use a torch to disperse it.
As for those living in houses, as long as you light the gas stove, these bugs will disappear in less than three days.
"call."
After passing through the area where the bugs lived, Lu Qing put out the torch in his hand and continued to move deeper into the mine.
In order to carry a large amount of gasoline, Huo only carried three of them with her, so it was better to save a few.
By the way, these torches are not the kind that burn very fast, just pick up a wooden stick and call it a torch, but are made of cloth soaked in grease wrapped around the top of the stick. (No, don’t spray it.
Me, I just suck at writing novels)
Among the three sticks she carried, the one she just used was made by herself, and the remaining two were made by the old man.
As for where the grease comes from...
Of course it was extracted from the meat of the mutated giant deer from before, so there's no way it would use gasoline.
You know, this plan to burn the Thousand Hands and Thousand Faces Tree requires a lot of gasoline. In addition, the gasoline can also be used to generate electricity for the gasoline generator at home. No matter how bad it is, you can still make a lot of money by selling it to businessmen.
How could it be used in such a trivial matter as making torches?
"Um?"
Lu Qing, who was walking in the mine, suddenly stopped. She felt like something was approaching above her head.
"Ah Qing, it's the Head Splitter." Dinah floated next to Lu Qing, looking up at the top of the mine and said.
Lu Qing nodded slightly, in response to Dinah, indicating that she already knew, and then continued walking forward pretending that she had not discovered anything.
In the narrow cave, there is not enough space to dodge. Even the ground under your feet is occupied by all kinds of messy gravel and uneven ground after manual excavation. The place chosen by this Head Splitter is really good.
Some, normal creatures simply cannot avoid the opponent's attack.
Fortunately, she had discovered this guy who was preparing for a sneak attack in advance.
At this time, the Head Splitter, which was slowly advancing above Lu Qing's head, did not know that it had been spotted by Lu Qing. It was staring at the prey in front of it, waiting for it to come to its prey area.
.
A moment!
The Head Splitter opened his mouth, and the mouth full of fangs poked out from above, biting down hard!
However, it couldn't bite anything, and even the figure of the prey was lost. Before it could react, a sharp dagger pierced its head from top to bottom.
.
[Escape into the shadows]
This is the skill of Silver Gray Night Breeze. In a dark cave, the shadow value accumulates very quickly, and the range of movement after escaping into the shadow is also very wide. After escaping into the shadow, Lu Qing came directly to the crack.
in the shadow above the head.
"Just so-so."
Commenting on his reaction this time, Lu Qing skillfully squatted down and cut off the head-splitting man's tongue and put it in his backpack, then quickened his pace and left here.
Because her sense of direction had deteriorated, Dinah was responsible for leading the way in front of her to prevent her from getting lost.
.......
"Hey, what is that?"
Lu Qing poked her head out from behind the corner. She had heard some strange noises in this tunnel before, and out of curiosity, she decided to come over to see what was going on.
Behind the corner, I saw a huge creature eating stones inside the mine. It looked a bit like a scorpion, but the carapace attached to its body did not look like a creature.
It looks just like stone.
There may also be some random minerals mixed in, which makes the surface of the carapace full of various colors and looks very mixed.
This creature was blocking her path. If she wanted to continue moving forward, she had to kill it.
After all, mutated creatures will attack when they see humans. Lu Qing doesn't think the scorpion in front of her will have any reaction after seeing herself.
Of course, it's not impossible to lurk there secretly, but Lu Qing wanted to try out the power of this scorpion so that he could have peace of mind if he encountered him again in the future.
Lu Qing quietly poked out a foot from behind the corner wall, and cautiously moved forward in the darkness without making any sound.
Looking at the stone scorpion that continued to eat the stone without any reaction, Lu Qing took out the carving knife on her waist and quietly approached the opponent's back.
After careful observation, Lu Qing discovered that although the top of the body of this stone scorpion was protected by a large number of rocks, there seemed to be no rocks underneath the abdomen to protect the abdomen.
I don’t know if it’s because no one is attacking there, or if adding armor there would make it difficult for the body to move, but there is always none.
If she wanted to attack, she could consider launching the attack from there.
With this thought in mind, Lu Qing slowly approached the mutated stone scorpion and came behind him.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Lu Qing noticed some small movements of the mutated stone scorpion and realized something was wrong.
"How do mutated stone scorpions perceive the environment and animals in such a dark mine?"
Almost as soon as this idea appeared, the tail behind the mutant stone scorpion quickly hit it. Unlike ordinary scorpions, the tail of this mutant stone scorpion can attack behind it like a whip!
Lu Qing also reacted quickly at this time. She jumped back slightly and avoided the stone scorpion's tail.
"This guy has noticed me a long time ago and is deliberately waiting for me to get close!" Lu Qing thought in surprise after dodging the attack of the mutated stone scorpion.
She really didn't expect this. After all, who would have thought that mutant creatures would know how to wait for people to be behind them before launching a sneak attack?
At the same time, after the attack was deflected, the mutant stone scorpion squatted directly on the spot without hesitation, pressing its abdomen tightly to the ground, leaving only the part protected by the rock exposed!
Seeing this, Lu Qing couldn't help but feel a little headache. She glanced at the carving knife in her hand and felt that it was unrealistic to use it to break through the rock armor.
I tried to get closer to the opponent, but as soon as I got close to the attack range of the mutant stone scorpion, I was stabbed hard by the opponent's tail.
Fortunately, Lu Qing dodges quickly, otherwise he would have been poked by it.
Approaching the opponent again, this time with experience, Lu Qing easily dodged the opponent's tail, and then used a carving knife to draw a white mark on the mutated stone scorpion's armor.
Once again dodging the attack of the mutated stone scorpion, Lu Qing stepped back and glanced at the carving knife in her hand with some regret.
It's so funny that it doesn't break the defense at all.
If he used too much force, he might break his knife. In desperation, Lu Qing could only glare at this bastard Scorpion with hatred, and then left here...
ps: Aqing’s birthday is June 1st~
By the way, this is not a setting I wrote down casually, but the day when I created the character Lu Qing when I was writing the outline of this book.
Well, only the protagonist has this treatment. The other characters were written on the day I published the chapter, and some were written casually by myself.
