Li Xiao's method of dealing with these giant scorpions was a standard kite flying tactic.
This is also the best tactic for dealing with creatures that don't move very fast.
Not long after, the last giant scorpion screamed and fell under Li Xiao's crossbow.
Five giant scorpions were all eliminated one by one by him with his crossbow.
Creatures like giant scorpions must be tamed in the future, and there must be a female giant scorpion.
The purpose of taming it is not to rely on its combat power, but to let it lay eggs, because giant scorpion eggs are the main raw material for making Tyrannosaurus rex feed.
Therefore, if Li Xiao wants to tame an ancient beast, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, this giant scorpion egg is indispensable.
But now, Li Xiao's strength level for taming the Tyrannosaurus Rex is far behind, and he is not in a hurry to tame the giant scorpion.
Besides, he didn't even unlock the giant scorpion saddle...
After collecting their bodies, Li Xiao continued towards the depths of the cave...
After walking forward for a while, there were two forked roads on the left and right.
At the junction of the two forked roads, there is a gap between the mountain walls. Looking behind the gap, what you see is a huge underground space.
It seemed that I was about to reach the end of the volcanic cave.
The gap in the mountain wall is like a window in a high-rise building, offering an unobstructed view of the huge space below.
Through the light source on the wall of the space, Li Xiao could clearly see the entire space below:
The entire space is about the size of two football fields, with huge boulders standing side by side, uneven terrain, and winding roads interspersed in it, like a maze.
Looking down from this gap, you can clearly see a small pool in the center of the space, and on the stone in the center of the pool, a green luminous body is continuously spreading out visible energy waves...
…
It is the artifact produced by the volcanic cave - wisdom!
Although he could clearly see the location of the artifact, Li Xiao knew that he was still far away from the artifact.
The first thing he has to do is to choose one of the two roads to go down to the cave——
According to his memory, Li Xiao knew that there was no difference between the two roads on the left and right. Although the two roads were one on the left and one on the right, they would eventually lead to the water pool where the artifact was placed.
The only difference between the two roads is the length of the journey.
If you go to the left, you can quickly reach the location of the artifact, but there are a lot of dangerous creatures in this road, and most of them are giant scorpions that are difficult to kill.
If you walk from the right, the distance is long, but the creatures in the passage are scattered and the danger is very low. The main creatures are only spiders and clawed bats with low combat power.
In addition to the time spent fighting the creatures on the road, the time taken to get the artifact from the two roads is about the same.
As for which path to take...
"Only children make choices..." Li Xiao imitated the classic move, clenched his hands and said calmly, "I want them all!"
"When I go down, I take one way, and when I come back, I take the other way! Isn't that enough..."
In addition to obtaining artifacts, Li Xiao's other purpose is to gain experience. To gain experience, of course, he needs to kill all the creatures, so he has to take both paths.
The plan was decided, Li Xiao headed towards the passage on the right...
The road was winding and winding, and several cave creatures appeared from time to time blocking Li Xiao's path.
When he encounters flying clawed bats, Li Xiao uses his bow and arrow to clean them. If he encounters spiders crawling on the ground, the two saber-toothed tigers opening the way will clear them out.
At this time, the combat power of the saber-toothed tiger was revealed.
Even if they encountered a group of more than ten spiders, these two saber-toothed tigers were not afraid and rushed in head-on.
With their flexible bodies and powerful jaws and claws, these two saber-toothed tigers can deal with these spiders like they are dealing with weak sheep.
For a moment, severed limbs were flying everywhere, residual liquid was splashing everywhere, and the killing efficiency of the two saber-toothed tigers was higher than that of Li Xiao and the raptor combined...
The two saber-toothed tigers slaughtered each other like crazy and easily covered more than half of the distance.
There were several more spiders ahead, and the saber-toothed tiger that opened the way rushed forward again...
Li Xiao knew that he couldn't intervene, so he simply crossed his arms and leaned against the wall behind, waiting for the saber-toothed tigers to clear the road.
But not long after, Li Xiao heard the screams of a saber-toothed tiger in front of him.
"Big Meow and Second Meow, come back!"
Li Xiao, who reacted quickly, immediately called the saber-toothed tiger back to the team and took out the crossbow in his hand!
There were not many light sources in this passage, so Li Xiao couldn't see clearly what was going on in front of him, but when he heard the scream of the saber-toothed tiger, Li Xiao knew that the saber-toothed tiger's life must have been threatened!
"I hope Sabretooth Tiger is okay!"
There was the sound of running in the dim passage ahead, and Li Xiao quickly aimed ahead.
In the dark passage, footsteps were gradually approaching, but nothing could be seen. This made Li Xiao instinctively feel a little afraid of this unknown passage.
His hand was tightly clasped on the crossbow trigger. If someone other than his saber-toothed tiger appeared in the passage, he would fire the arrow without hesitation.
The sound of footsteps approached, and the figures of two saber-toothed tigers appeared in Li Xiao's sight, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
It was the two saber-toothed tigers that heard Li Xiao's call and turned around and ran back.
It can be clearly seen at a glance that there is a palm-sized area on the back of the saber-toothed tiger cat where all the hair has fallen off, and the flesh and blood underneath is also a blur...
If you look closely at the injured area, it seems that you were scalded by something with high temperature, burning off the hair and scorching the flesh and blood.
Fortunately, this injury was only a minor injury considering the huge size of the saber-toothed tiger.
However, this injury also aroused Li Xiao's curiosity:
There are only a few creatures in this cave that can hurt a saber-toothed tiger. Apart from being crushed by numbers, this saber-toothed tiger is basically invincible in this volcanic cave.
What kind of creature injured the saber-toothed tiger? And its attack method was so strange?
Could it be Megalosaurus, a large creature that only lives in caves?
Taking another look at the saber-toothed tiger's wound, Li Xiao suddenly realized - no, it's not Megalosaurus, it's an ancient Malus!
Only the corrosive liquid spewed by the ancient milla can cause such a wound!
"I have never encountered an ancient millipede in this cave. I have completely forgotten about this creature!"
The only powerful thing about the ancient Malu creature is the corrosive liquid it spits. Although its defense is good, it is still not very strong.
The last time Li Xiao explored the southern cave alone, he encountered an ancient millipede, and that ancient millipede died under Li Xiao's arrow.
The second cat of the saber-toothed tiger must have been sneak-attacked by the ancient Malu and spit out its corrosive liquid in the back.
After deducing the whole story, Li Xiao felt at ease.
"Get ready to defend against the enemy!" Li Xiao shouted, and at the same time commanded the creatures behind him to get ready.
The saber-toothed tiger withdrew, and the ancient Malu would definitely come after him, so he would just wait here.
A few ancient millipedes are not enough evidence at all!
However, he still took out a newly made wooden shield from the inventory and placed it in front of himself.
Although the corrosive liquid only slightly injured the saber-toothed tiger, his small body could not withstand it.
It's okay if you vomit on yourself, as you have clothes to protect you, but once your face or head is hit by the corrosive liquid - hum!
Thinking of this, Li Xiao quickly lifted the shield up again!
After the saber-toothed tiger ran out, the passage in front became quiet again.
Li Xiao was getting ready to go, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement in the passage.
"Didn't Gu Malu come after him?"
After not seeing any movement in the passage for a long time, Li Xiao felt that he felt wrong.
But just when Li Xiao was about to relax, there was a rustling sound in the passage.
This friction sound was exactly the sound made by Gu Malu's densely packed legs rubbing against the stone wall as he advanced!
Here we come! Ancient Malu is chasing us!
Li Xiao tensed up his body again and stared at the passage.
As soon as Gu Malu showed his body, he, the two velociraptors and two saber-toothed tigers behind him would swarm up and kill it directly!
Li Xiao waited quietly, listening to the approaching sounds in the passage...
A few seconds later, there was another rustling sound in the passage. It was obvious that there was more than one ancient Malus!
"Two?"
Li Xiao's expression remained unchanged and he said confidently: "Two? Two of them will be hacked to death in the same way!"
However, there were a few more rustling sounds in the passage, and there were a few more voices...
The confident look on Li Xiao's face lost a bit. He turned his head and looked at the velociraptor and saber-toothed tiger beside him, and felt a lot more at ease.
"Four or five? If you deal with four or five carefully, you can still be hacked to death!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, there were a few more rustling sounds in the passage.
A few beads of sweat appeared on Li Xiao's forehead, and he clenched the machete in his hand again.
"Seven or eight ancient Malus? It looks like a fierce battle! However, if you pay a little price, you should be able to hack them to death with a knife!"
Li Xiao stamped the ground hard with his weak legs, and then suppressed the panic in his heart.
"The fight will start soon. It seems that I have to be careful. I have to avoid the corrosive liquid from Gu Malu!"
While I was thinking wildly, the rustling sound in the passage in front suddenly intensified!
Dense friction sounds came out together, making the rustling sound ring in Li Xiao's ears.
"Oh my god. How many are there?!"
Li Xiao's face instantly turned the color of pig liver. Without saying a word, he put away his sword and shield, turned around and ran away.
"Run! Run quickly!"
Li Xiao roared and commanded the domesticated creatures to escape together.
He ran quickly and looked behind him——
I saw an ancient horse land three to four meters long emerging from the passage!
In the end, a total of nearly twenty ancient millipedes crawled out of the passage!
Seeing this amount, Li Xiao's scalp went numb, and he wished he could grow an extra pair of legs!
There are so many ancient millipedes, let alone a fight with them. As long as they shoot a volley of thick phlegm, the men and horses like myself will be corroded into scum!
"Run! You all ran with all your might for me!"
Li Xiao once again urged the raptors and saber-toothed tigers...
"Hey, that's not right! Wait for me!"
Li Xiao suddenly discovered that both the Velociraptor and the Saber-toothed Tiger were very fast, directly surpassing him.
The current situation is that Li Xiao, who ran first, was left behind at the end!
Li Xiao really wanted to slap himself, but in his panic, he forgot to ride on the domesticated creature and run away.
"Come back and pick me up!"
Li Xiao hurriedly shouted to the saber-toothed tiger closest to him: "Er Meow, wait for me!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the loyal saber-tooth tiger Ermiao immediately stopped, turned around and ran towards Li Xiao.
As you can see, the second cat of the saber-toothed tiger is about to run in front of Li Xiao!
However, Li Xiao, who was running, heard a strange sound behind him - like some creature was vomiting?
It’s Gu Malu’s old phlegm attack!!
The next second, Li Xiao saw from the corner of his eye that the mouths of the twenty or so ancient horses were surging together, and balls of dark green liquid had gathered in their mouths!
I'm afraid that in the next second, all the corrosive liquid in his mouth will spray out!
But he saw Li Xiao rolling forward and coming to the side of the saber-toothed tiger Ermiao...
Soon enough, I saw about twenty balls of corrosive liquid heading straight for Li Xiao and the saber-toothed tiger!
Li Xiao's hands were extremely fast. Before the corrosive liquid flew towards him, he took out his wooden shield and blocked it in front of himself and Er Miao...
呲——
The strong corrosive acid hit the wooden shield and eroded through it in the blink of an eye!
"It hurts, it hurts!"
The acid that eroded through the wooden shield got on Li Xiao's hands, and Li Xiao quickly threw away the wooden shield riddled with holes.
He hurriedly checked his body, but fortunately, it was not touched anywhere else on his body.
Next to him, the saber-toothed tiger Ermeow screamed!
Looking towards Ermiao, Li Xiao found that its body had been hit by corrosive liquid in several places——
These corrosive liquids burn through its fur and corrode its flesh bit by bit!
There was no way around it. The area covered by the wooden shield was limited, so Li Xiao could barely block it by curling up. The second cat was too big, so Li Xiao could only try his best to protect its head.
These corrosive liquids corroded Er Miao's skin, and visible smoke was rising from the corrosion.
It smells pungent and smells like burnt hair...
He quickly wiped off the green mucus on Er Miao with his cuffs to prevent the corrosive liquid from further harming Er Miao.
Looking back, those ancient millipedes vomited a wave of corrosive liquid and rushed towards us again!
"Holy shit!"
Li Xiao was like a frightened rabbit. It only took a few tenths of a second to turn over and ride on the saber-toothed tiger!
Then, the saber-toothed tiger who sat down ran wildly and disappeared into the passage with Li Xiao...
