When the corpses of insects were piled close to the rock wall, these giant scorpion spiders who were not afraid of death finally retreated.
Although these guys are simple-minded, they still have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
If it is instinct to attack the two creatures that invaded their lair, then it is also instinct to shrink back in fear when seeing countless companions dying in front of them one by one.
Of course, they did not escape completely. These guys just retreated into the nest and used their last strength to protect the eggs and newborns in the nest.
The swarm of insects retreated, and the pressure on the two players was instantly relieved. They put the steaming firearms back into their inventory. Li Xiao and Zhou Qing looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.
If it hadn't been for the large number of advanced weapons that had been unlocked recently, the two of them would have been unable to stop this wave of attacks.
It won't take long. Even if it was a month ago, if the two of them had explored this cave, they would have been devoured by a swarm of insects, and their bodies would have been wiped out...
The dangers in caves are far greater than those on the ground!
Sighing, the business cannot be delayed. Although the insect swarms have returned to their nests, these nests are still blocking the way between the two players and the artifact, and they must be cleared away.
Besides, clearing out these lairs will save you a lot of trouble the next time you come to retrieve the artifact.
These giant scorpion spiders and the like grow very fast. As long as there is a nest, they can breed into swarms again in a short time.
The insect corpses were piled up to their feet, and without using hooks or claws, the two of them jumped onto the pile of corpses, stepped on the broken limbs, and walked down the cliff to the bottom of the pit.
After experiencing such a brutal battle, Zhou Qing's disgust and aversion to arthropods disappeared.
But she was a girl after all, and she still loved to be clean. As for the unknown objects on her feet and legs, she frowned as soon as she got to the bottom of the pit and tried her best to clean them up.
Li Xiao didn't care. He held his weapon and took the lead to a nearby spider nest.
The entrance to the lair was half a person tall. Li Xiao squatted and looked inside. At a glance, he saw twenty or thirty pairs of compound eyes, large and small, looking at him nervously!
"I'm going!" This terrifying scene immediately frightened Li Xiao. He took out a grenade from the inventory without hesitation, pulled the safety and threw it in through the entrance of the lair!
boom!
This nest made of mud, slime, spider webs and other unknown objects was quite strong. The air wave from the grenade explosion spurted out from the entrance of the hole, but the nest did not collapse.
Li Xiao once again put his head to the entrance of the cave. After taking a look, he felt relieved——
Now, no one can look at him!
Zhou Qing here also knew that it was useless to clean the mucus on his body now, and he would probably be contaminated again soon. He simply shook his head, endured the discomfort and joined Li Xiao in cleaning the lair.
Several small nests around were all spider nests. After throwing grenades in one by one, the two set their sights on the large nests that were three to four meters high.
Judging from the creatures peeking out of the nest's mouth, these should be giant scorpion nests.
As soon as the two of them approached the nest, many giant scorpions poured out of the nest - these giant scorpions were smaller, unique giant scorpions covered in red, and there were quite a few of them.
We have killed a lot of these strange giant scorpions just now. Compared with ordinary giant scorpions, these guys have lower defense. Although their red carapace looks scary, their defense is such that even arrows can easily pierce them.
There was no threat, and the two players did not retreat. They stood still and raised their guns to sweep at the giant scorpions.
The finished giant scorpion fell down, but in the intermittent gunshots of the two people and the screams of the giant scorpion's death, Li Xiao seemed to hear some strange sounds!
Swish, swish, swish...
Doubt flashed across Li Xiao's face, followed by panic!
He remembered that this kind of sound could only be made by an ancient millipede crawling on a hard rock wall!
He suddenly looked up to the top of his head!
Sure enough, at some point, three ancient millipedes had quietly touched the rock wall high above him!
The curled-up upper body and the open mouth clearly indicate that the corrosive liquid attack in the mouth is ready to go!
"Mad! These disgusting things like to carry out sneak attacks!" After cursing, Li Xiao did not bother to continue shooting to clean up the giant scorpion group. He threw the gun away, and the donkey rolled to the side.
Although the gesture was a bit inelegant, the effect was good. Three balls of dark green corrosive fluid flew at high speed, but they could only hit the ground where Li Xiao was standing just now, corroding three fist-sized holes on the ground.
Ta da da, da da da, da da da!
Three bursts of three shots were fired, and Gu Malu's body, which was about to continue spitting corrosive liquid at Li Xiao, splattered with blood, and they all fell to the ground with a squeaking scream.
It was Zhou Qing who turned his gun at the critical moment and rescued Li Xiao!
Although the immediate crisis has been resolved, a bigger crisis is coming!
Without the suppression of firepower, the red giant scorpions emerged from the lair and instantly surrounded the two players!
A dense swarm of giant scorpions came over. Li Xiao took out his shotgun and shot the nearest giant scorpion!
Although they were approached, these giant scorpions were far different from those giant scorpions in terms of size and strength. Even if they pounced on him, Li Xiao could tear them off, throw them to the ground, and crush his head with one foot.
.
The giant scorpion's attack seemed a bit weak. Its two pincers could not clamp the smooth armor, and the spikes on its tail could not penetrate the metal baffle at all!
With a shotgun in one hand and a machete in the other, one gun and one knife, Li Xiao is like a murderous god coming to the world!
But on Zhou Qing's side, the situation was completely opposite to him - she was far inferior to Li Xiao in terms of strength. After being jumped by several giant scorpions, she fell to the ground without struggling a few times, holding the gun in her hand.
It also fell to an unknown location.
More giant scorpions swarmed over her, drowning her in an instant!
Seeing such a situation, Li Xiao's eyes were about to burst, and he roared and rushed towards Zhou Qing.
He was about to raise his gun to kill the giant scorpion on Zhou Qing's body, but he was worried that the bullet would accidentally injure Zhou Qing, so he simply put the gun away.
Holding two machetes, just like the Thirteen Taibao of Huaguo Mountain, he chopped from Nantianmen to Penglai East Road... Ahem, put it on Li Xiao, it should have been from the entrance of the giant scorpion's lair to Zhou Qing's side.
The sharp blade was swung down, and the giant scorpion in front of him suddenly split into two halves from head to tail...
Turning the tip of the knife over and stabbing hard, the giant scorpion underfoot died instantly...
The murderous Li Xiao was unstoppable. After approaching Zhou Qing, he chopped the giant scorpion crawling on Zhou Qing into several sections with a few swords.
Fortunately, the metal armor on Zhou Qing's body blocked all damage for her, and she didn't appear to be hurt.
Pulling her up, Li Xiao handed her his shotgun, while he still held the machete and waved it wildly at the giant scorpions rushing around!
"Li Xiao, I feel so dizzy..." The shotgun in Zhou Qing's hand was just fired. Li Xiao heard Zhou Qing's words in his ears. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Zhou Qing's eyes rolled up and he softened.
He collapsed softly.
Li Xiao quickly hugged her into his arms, and when he looked closely, he discovered that a broken giant scorpion tail stinger was stuck at the joint of the armor on her neck!
When Zhou Qing lifted up her visor, she saw that the blood vessels in her neck had turned black, and the network of black blood vessels spread out and appeared on the entire side of her face!
Poisoned!
Unexpectedly, the really powerful thing about these red giant scorpions is the stinger on their tail!
