This centipede is five meters long, with a body as thick as a bucket, and steps as long as a halberd. The outer shell of the body is as black as steel, and the mouthparts on the head are open, revealing two rows of teeth like jagged teeth.
Compared with ordinary centipedes, in addition to the eyes on both sides, it also has a huge vertical eye above its mouthparts, glowing with a strange green light.
It is extremely fast, and in the eyes of everyone, it is hardly slower than Lu Bingbing and Li Xing, who are among the most powerful ones.
"This monster is a five-star monster, right?" Everyone knew at a glance that this monster was terrifying, and they all backed away. Such a monster was not something they could deal with, and only Wang Xuan could do it.
Wang Xuan understood that this must be the three-eyed centipede mentioned on the parchment. If you kill it, you will get the bronze treasure chest as a reward for this mission.
The metal tentacle extended out, and an eye appeared on it. The "Eye of the Illustrated Book" opened and the information about this three-eyed centipede was immediately captured.
"Name: Three-Eyed Centipede, Race: Centipede Clan, Danger Level: ★★★★★ (five stars), Three-Eyed Centipede is the leader of the indigenous centipedes living on Centipede Island. Its lifespan exceeds a hundred years. It can resemble a silver-backed centipede.
It also sprays corrosive poison, which is far more corrosive than the silver-backed centipede. Each of its legs is harder than steel and extremely sharp. It is the most terrifying monster on Centipede Island."
Wang Xuan understood that the five-star danger level meant that the strength of this three-eyed centipede was comparable to that of an average powerful person.
Bai Yan fired "Witch Blood Jet" from a distance, hoping to weaken the three-eyed centipede's combat power.
Witch blood sprayed out from the sky, and the three-eyed centipede screamed, and a stream of dark green venom erupted from its open mouthparts.
This poisonous juice has an incomparable stench, and it shoots out like a bolt, and its speed is as fast as an arrow leaving the string.
Bai Yan's expression changed drastically. With his speed, he had no time to dodge, so he could only cover his chest and right arm with the witch's blood, forming a blood crystal armor to protect his head and face.
Suddenly his left arm tightened, and a strong force pulled him to fly sideways to the left. With a hiss, a figure rushed out diagonally, but it was Wang Xuan who took action.
He ripped Bai Yan apart and jumped up, avoiding the spray of corrosive poison. Two metal tentacles were drawn out like lightning.
Others stepped back one after another, trying to distance themselves as much as possible.
Tie Jun, Duan Chen and Yu Shanshan all displayed shields and light shields to protect everyone in retreat.
With a crisp "snap" sound, the three-eyed centipede swung its body sideways, and the legs on its side bounced up, trying to fly into the air to dodge Wang Xuan's attack.
But Wang Xuan struck faster, and the metal tentacles struck it first, immediately interrupting the four legs.
Four of its legs were broken, and the three-eyed centipede screamed from its open mouthparts, and another corrosive poison was shot towards Wang Xuan. The body jumped up, and the five-meter-long body rushed towards him. It was extremely powerful.
.
Wang Xuan swayed to avoid the poisonous juice. The poisonous juice sprayed on the rock, making a sizzling sound and emitting green smoke. The rock was corroded by the poisonous juice, leaving stains of corrosion on the surface.
"This guy is not slow. He is much stronger than the average adult, but he is still not as good as the real powerhouses like Li Xing and Lu Bingbing."
Wang Xuan's mind whirled, and he took the initiative to face the three-eyed centipede that was charging towards him. With a wave of his right hand, the metal tentacles turned upside down and wrapped around his right arm. Flesh and metal merged, and the monster's giant arm instantly took shape.
As he broke through to the ultimate state, his Warcraft giant arm changed slightly again. The originally one-meter-long Warcraft giant arm grew in size, reaching a length of one meter. The half-flesh, half-metal muscles swelled, and the surface loomed.
The veins and blood vessels are filled with surging energy.
If the previous Warcraft giant arm was a lifeless machine, then the current Warcraft giant arm seems to have life, just like a real Warcraft arm.
With a kick of both feet, Wang Xuan almost jumped into the air, and instantly collided with the three-eyed centipede that was charging towards him. The giant arm of the one-meter-long monster hit him head on.
The huge fist smashed into the open mouthparts of the three-eyed centipede, and it was instantly submerged, breaking its mouthparts and head. The shell, which was as hard as steel, shattered like paper. This punch directly destroyed the three-eyed centipede.
The centipede's head exploded together with half of its body.
A large amount of juice mixed with broken shells and body parts splashed around, falling on Wang Xuan's alloy armor.
The people who retreated behind looked at this power and looked envious.
What a powerful blow it was to blast a five-star monster that was comparable to Zhen State with one punch.
Everyone is increasingly eager to break through the adult body and be promoted to a powerful person.
A white scale appeared and sank into Wang Xuan's right hand. He felt the energy in his right hand fluctuate slightly. The metal tentacle that merged with the flesh and blood of his right arm reappeared. The monster's giant arm disappeared, and the metal tentacle retracted into his right hand and disappeared.
The smaller half of the three-eyed centipede's body was blasted, and a fleshy cocoon rolled out of the remaining half of its body.
Wang Xuan understood that inside this cocoon should be the reward for this mission, a bronze treasure chest.
This time the mission of "Centipede Hunter" has been completely completed.
Zhao Lei ran over with excitement, took out the fish scale knife, and carefully cut open the cocoon. Sure enough, a small treasure box appeared inside. This treasure box was light blue in color and made of bronze. It was the same as before.
The rusty copper box is completely different.
"I don't know what treasures there will be here. The specifications of this bronze treasure chest should be higher than the copper treasure chest. Wang Xuan, you should open it yourself."
Zhao Lei originally wanted to open it, but after thinking about it, he smiled and asked Wang Xuan to open it.
Others slowly gathered around him. Yao Tiande and Duan Chen looked envious. He was not strong enough to complete such a five-star mission, let alone see the bronze treasure chest.
Wang Xuan did not approach, but released his metal tentacles to open the bronze treasure chest.
Even though he knew that there shouldn't be any danger in this bronze treasure chest, he still instinctively acted vigilant, just in case.
The bronze treasure box was opened and he approached. The box was not big. There were four items inside, including 5 medium-sized crystal scales, a glass tube filled with liquid, a light red crystal, and a crystal that looked like it had been damaged.
Dried dark green fruit.
Wang Xuan first collected the 5 medium-sized crystal scales, and the number of medium-sized crystal scales he now owned became 38. He opened the eye of the illustrated book to look at the glass tube containing the liquid, and found that it was a bottle of primary healing water.
He already has three bottles of primary healing water, and now this is the fourth bottle.
Check the information about the light red crystal again.
"Name: Flame Claw, a primary-level weapon that can be used to equip mechanical beasts."
"Huh? The weapon used by the mechanical beast?" Wang Xuan showed a hint of joy on his face. He understood that the mechanical beast's crystal panel has six crystal slots. The center one is equipped with the power assembly, and the other three are installed with the head, body and legs respectively.
Of the two remaining pieces of armor, one is a weapon and the other is an energy shield.
However, these two crystals are relatively rare. Even Wang Ziren and Lu Bingbing failed to obtain them. Wang Xuan also did not expect that this bronze treasure chest would contain weapons used by mechanical beasts.
Take out the weapon crystal of the Flame Claw, open Xiaoguai's crystal panel, and put this crystal in.
Immediately, Xiaoguai's whole body shook slightly. The surface of his front paws was covered with a new layer of fiery red metal machinery, and there was a faint flame flowing on the surface.
"Xiao Guai, try the power of this flame claw." Under Wang Xuan's command, Xiao Guai rushed out and rushed towards the corpse of the three-eyed centipede with most of its body still remaining. He raised one front paw and suddenly
Caught him out.
The surface of this fiery red metal mechanical claw immediately rose with blazing flames. With a sneer, it grabbed into the hard shell of the three-eyed centipede and scratched a crack on the surface. The flame followed the crack and penetrated the inside of the three-eyed centipede's body.
Burn.
"Awesome..." Zhao Lei, Gu Manyao, Zhang Haofei, Tie Jun and others saw this and couldn't help shouting.
This three-eyed centipede is a five-star monster. Its shell is so hard that even an ordinary adult would find it difficult to break through. But now it was torn apart by Xiaoguai's flame claws.
Just looking at this one blow, Xiaoguai's destructive power has surpassed that of an average adult.
"I didn't expect that this mechanical beast can be equipped with weapons. This is amazing." Li Haotian couldn't help but be curious, with a look of envy in his eyes. He also began to want to get a mechanical beast of his own.
Wang Xuan looked at the last dark green fruit in the bronze treasure box that looked a little dry. This fruit was only the size of a walnut. He observed it with the eye of the illustrated book and immediately captured the information about this fruit.
"Name: Soul-Benefiting Fruit, which is very rare. Eating it can increase a person's spiritual and soul power, but there are great risks when eating it. If a weak-willed person eats it, it is easy to be unable to withstand the increased spiritual and soul power and lead to insanity.
What's more, the soul cannot bear this power and collapses directly, killing him on the spot."
Wang Xuan looked at this information and frowned. This soul-enhancing fruit is naturally very rare and miraculous according to the introduction. It can enhance the power of people's spiritual soul, but eating it is very dangerous. If you can't bear it, you will suffer harm.
"Such a fruit with side effects can kill you if you are not careful. Who dares to eat it easily?"
Wang Xuan shook his head and could only put it into his Sumeru belt and ignore it for the time being. At least for now, he did not dare to eat it casually and risk his own life.
Although this Soul-Benefiting Fruit is useless, the other three are good, especially the flame claws obtained, which enhance Xiaoguai's combat power. The rewards of this bronze treasure chest are indeed much better than those of the copper rust treasure chest.
"Wang Xuan, this mission is completed, what should we do now? Go back to Insect Town and take a look? Should we continue to hunt centipedes here? Try to see if we can break through to the perfection state?" Zhao Lei looked at Wang Xuan, he felt that he had made a breakthrough.
Perfect hope.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Wang Xuan looked at the highest point of Centipede Island not far away, thinking that if the Book of Titans was accurate, then the entrance to the underground would be there.
He thought that before the six-winged centipede appeared, he had a vague feeling of being spied on. Although it was only fleeting, it still made him feel grudge. After thinking about it, he said: "You guys wait here for me.
"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he meant by his words, but they saw Wang Xuan disappear with a hiss.
He maximized his vision and hearing to the limit, sensed his surroundings with his heart, and ran at full speed in the direction of Insect Town.
Soon he rushed out a kilometer or two, startling a group of silver-backed centipedes and giant pincer centipedes, and chased him.
Wang Xuan ignored these centipedes, kept accelerating forward, and soon shook them off.
Zhao Lei, Gu Manyao and Zhang Haofei looked at each other, wondering what Wang Xuan was doing.
However, thinking that Wang Xuan asked them to wait here before leaving, everyone could only wait here and picked up some crystal scales that the six-winged centipede had died and peeled off from the ground.
Wang Xuan ran around this area for nearly twenty minutes, but found nothing except a group of centipede monsters, and the feeling of being watched and observed completely disappeared.
"Strange...could that feeling really be caused by the six-winged centipede or the three-eyed centipede? If there are other people hiding in the dark, and I suddenly run around searching like this, there are not many places to hide here...it is difficult to escape me
That’s the observation.”
Wang Xuan shook his head. He had just looked through this area and found nothing, so he could only give up and run towards the direction where Zhao Lei and the nine people were.
When he came back, Zhao Lei and others came to greet him and asked him why.
Wang Xuan explained, and Yao Tiande said with some admiration: "Wang Xuan, you are so cautious. Even if you feel it for a moment, you have to spend half an hour carefully checking it."
Zhao Lei smiled and said: "It is precisely because of his caution that we can survive until now. Otherwise, if guys like Lu Bingbing come, we will all die."
Yao Tiande couldn't help but nod when he thought it made sense.
"Since Wang Xuan looked at it and said it's no problem, then it must be no problem. I guess the Rakshasa leader was scared to death by us and didn't dare to come again. Let's continue to hunt centipedes. I hope I can do it today.
Hit the perfect state." Zhang Haofei chuckled.
Zhao Lei handed over the 15 crystal scales he just picked up to Wang Xuan.
Wang Xuan took the crystal scales, still frowning slightly, and looked around again. There was no one else in this empty area except them, and the nearest centipede hunting team was at least one kilometer away.
He thought for a moment and said, "Let's look forward."
It was already close to the highest point in the center, so he was unwilling to go and take a look.
The others had no objections and followed Wang Xuan towards the highest point in the center.
The three mechanical beasts jumped forward and led the way at the front of the crowd. After the leader Xiao Guai obtained the weapon, his strength was greatly improved. A pair of front paws were covered with fiery red metal machinery, which was very conspicuous, making it look majestic.
When they were approaching the highest point, they were attacked by nearly twenty six-winged centipedes.
Everyone joined forces, with Wang Xuan's protection, and Bai Yan's ability to use witch blood to weaken the six-winged centipedes, everyone was able to kill these six-winged centipedes relatively easily and obtained 19 crystal scales.
The number of small crystal scales Wang Xuan now owns has reached 1927.
After killing these six-winged centipedes, everyone finally reached the highest point of Centipede Island.
Here you can overlook the whole island, and everyone is in a good mood.
Wang Xuan looked around. The highest point was a huge rock that looked very complete. It was thirty or forty meters long and horizontal. The ground was covered with solid rock layers. It was not like the spiral spiral recorded in the Book of Titans.
Lower entryway.
"Now that we can land here, does it count as conquering Centipede Island?" Zhang Haofei chuckled and was in a good mood.
Gu Manyao couldn't hide the joy on her face. She looked at Wang Xuan and said, "Wang Xuan, I'm almost here."
Wang Xuan was observing the surrounding terrain when he suddenly heard Gu Manyao say this. He didn't react for a moment and said in a daze: "What's so fast?"
Then he understood, his eyes lit up and he said: "Are you going to break through to adulthood?"
"Yes." Gu Manyao nodded, her face full of joy. This was a happy event for her and she wanted to share it with Wang Xuan.
Wang Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Congratulations." But he was a little worried in his heart.
Gu Manyao's demon chi is very different from everyone else's hatchling beasts. It's just that the adult body seems to have self-awareness and has come to life. This is a happy event and allows her to easily break through to the ultimate state. But in Wang Xuan's view,
Hatching beasts are too self-conscious, full of uncertainties, and hidden dangers.
It’s just that after obtaining the hatching beast, it will grow and evolve step by step. The hatching beast will inevitably become stronger and stronger, and its self-awareness will become stronger and stronger. This is almost irreversible, unless by chance, like Wang Xuan himself, the hatching beast’s consciousness and
Assimilate yourself and be digested and swallowed by it.
Wang Xuan didn't know what would happen to these hatchling beasts after they evolved. He had no other choice but to worry about Gu Manyao.
"What are you two young couples whispering about?" Tie Jun walked over with a smile. He liked this couple very well. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that Wang Xuan and Gu Manyao were a good match. He was addicted to being a matchmaker, so he thought of making do with it.
them.
Hearing Tie Jun jokingly call them a young couple, Wang Xuan felt like laughing. Gu Manyao's face immediately turned red, and she turned around and said, "I feel like I'm about to reach adulthood."
Tie Jun was startled, and then said with joy on his face: "Congratulations to you, you are amazing. If you break through again, you two will be in perfect condition."
Wang Xuan said nothing, opened his pocket and took out the palm-sized gold paper.
His mind is now focused on the Book of Titans. For those who have read the records and the map behind the Book of Titans, this temptation is fatal. Although he is not a particularly greedy person for power, as long as he is a human being, he will
There are seven emotions and six desires, and all have selfish desires. Who doesn't want to gain powerful power, who doesn't want to be transcendent above all living beings, let alone the gate of immortality mentioned in it, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods.
Looking at the records in the Book of Giants again, Wang Xuan was still a little agitated. He took a breath to calm down, and then looked at the map on the back.
This map is very magical. From different angles, you can see different maps. Others can only see a blur. They only know that it seems to be a map, but they can’t tell what kind of map it is. Only those who hold the gold paper can use the holder’s
Angle, constantly adjust the angle, and then you can slowly see the image come to life and emerge with a three-dimensional effect.
At this moment, Wang Xuan was observing the map, constantly adjusting the position of the gold paper and his own. Slowly, the map stood up. He was retreating, and the image of the place continued to enlarge. In the end, only the image in front of him appeared on the gold paper.
A three-dimensional pattern of a giant rock. In his eyes, the map on the gold paper overlapped with the giant rock that was thirty or forty meters long in front of him.
No one else could see it. They could only see Wang Xuan holding the gold paper in his hand and retreating. No one knew what he was looking at.
"Wang Xuan is obsessed with this Book of Giant Gods." Zhao Lei shook his head. He didn't take it seriously. He felt that it was a scam. He only believed in the power he had now, and did not believe in these gods.
A nagging legend.
He believes in technology and believes that everything in front of him should be created by some kind of super civilization. Even the hatching beast is a life weapon created by special technology. But gods? He doesn't believe it.
