The thing crawling out of the giant snail's hole slowly emerged one by one. Its body was composed of oblate links one by one. Each ring-shaped body had a pair of limbs.
From the brown-black back shell to the brown body sides, it gradually changes to the yellow tips of the limbs!
It turned out to be a huge black-backed centipede!
Half of its body has crawled out of the giant snail's cave. The length of this body alone is 7 or 8 meters! The brown-yellow to yellow limbs make a creepy rustling sound when crawling, and the second half of the body is inside the giant snail.
It makes a swishing sound when crawling.
Each link of its body is more than 1 meter wide!
A body composed of dozens of links crawled out of the giant snail with two intertwined sounds!
When it lay on the ground, it was higher than Steven's waist!
At this time, its entire body has reached the ground. The two long tentacles on its head are shaking. The claw limbs protruding from the mouthparts are opening and closing. The short opposite tentacles on both sides are swinging back and forth. The two long tentacles on the back of the head are swinging.
A single black eye reflected Steven's figure!
It paddled its many limbs on the ground, swinging back and forth like waves, and instantly approached Steven and came in front of him!
At this time, it lifted about 1/3 of its body, and the height of its head from the ground was 5.6 meters!
It made a hissing sound from its opening and closing mouthparts, and then it opened its claws and pounced towards Steven! Its claws clamped toward Steven's chest like lightning, and it tried to insert its claws into Steven's chest.
!
Steven ducked backwards when the limbs were close to the chest, just in time to dodge the pinching attack of the limbs. It jumped away and immediately raised the front part of its body and opened its mouthparts.
After Steven turned back to the big tree, he turned sideways and retreated! At the same time, he shouted: "Everyone, stay back!"
The members of the mercenary group who were dozens of meters away behind them retreated and stared dumbly at the giant centipede that followed Steven and turned around!
"Oh my God! What is this! Oh my God!" Someone in the mercenary group screamed in horror!
The others were also frightened and panicked. At this time, Edith shouted: "Cheer up! Exit the canyon quickly! Steven has held it back and is buying us time! Don't let Steven spend more time in front."
More time!”
Edith's voice woke everyone up like a shot in the arm!
The team immediately resumed their formation. After the shield warrior Qiao De and the sword warrior Wei Shan broke off, the others quickly retreated in the direction they came from. Not long after, they had exited the canyon and arrived at the intersection where the road had just forked.
But when they looked back for Steven, they didn't see him!
Edith stood at the fork and waited for a while, but Steven still did not appear. She turned to the other members of the mercenary group and said: "Everyone, continue to retreat 200 meters in the direction from which you came, and set up a temporary defense. I will go back."
Look at Steven!"
As the deputy leader, Edith had a high prestige when going on missions, and everyone immediately carried out her orders without objection.
Edith took off her hunting bow, attached an arrow, and leaned back in the direction she had just exited.
When the mercenary team was retreating, Steven was struggling with the giant black-backed centipede. He wanted to hold the centipede back for as long as possible. While ensuring the team's safe retreat, he also wanted to test the giant centipede's capabilities.
At this time, he had pulled out the straight knife from his back and held it in his hand. The height of the giant centipede's raised body accounted for about 1/3 of its own length. Steven estimated that its height at this time was about 5 meters. Its attack
The method is to raise the head and then swoop down, using the claw limbs protruding from the mouthparts to claw at the prey. The curved claw limbs are covered with mucus, and Steven estimates that they are highly poisonous.
The giant centipede raised its body several times and dived to attack, but Steven dodged and dodged it. Steven also swung a straight knife to slash at its body several times, but its whole body was wrapped in a shell, and even the straight knife couldn't break it open.
This hard shell doesn’t even leave a trace!
Even its limbs are covered with hard shells! Each limb is as thick as a human thigh! The color of the limbs gradually changes from dark brown at the roots to yellow, which makes people feel very scary and dangerous.
feeling!
Steven tried to chop at the limbs of the giant centipede. Although they were covered with hard shells, casually slashing them with a straight knife still had some effect! The blade made deep cuts on it!
It seems that the defense of its limbs is far inferior to that of its body!
But this giant centipede has a pair of limbs growing on each segment of its body. Its long trunk is composed of dozens of ring-shaped bodies. It has more than 60 to 70 limbs in total! Even if you cut off a few pairs
The impact of its actions is also minimal!
The giant centipede flew out of the way several times but was dodged by Steven. It made a hissing sound from its mouthparts, bent down and snaked its body around behind Steven. It crawled on the ground very fast!
Far exceeding the running speed of ordinary warriors!
Steven let it crawl behind him.
He turned around to face the giant centipede approaching from behind. It came in front of Steven and raised its head again. At this time, Steven keenly noticed that there was a green light shining from the depths of its mouthparts!
This is the power of the wind element! Steven was shocked! He immediately increased his vigilance! He flew back and tried to stay away from the giant centipede as much as possible!
After raising its head this time, the giant centipede did not swoop towards Steven again, but sprayed out a thick brown-red mist from its mouthparts! The thick mist flew out instantly, grew from small to large, and enveloped Steven who was rapidly retreating.
The area around Steven is tens of square meters!
Steven immediately activated the explosive skill! The rune representing will on the head of his soul body flashed, the skill was activated, Steven's speed suddenly increased, and he exited the range shrouded in red mist in an extremely thrilling manner!
The red mist fell on the grass on the ground, and the grass stained by the red mist fell down instantly!
At this time, the distance between Steven and the giant centipede was about 50 meters. After the weak period passed, he immediately took off the hunting bow on his back, took out an arrow from the quiver, opened the bow and fired an arrow!
The feather arrow flew out and hit the black back shell where it was leaning down. With a crack, the feather arrow made a sound on the back shell and then shot backwards into the distance. There was no damage to that part of the back shell! Look.
It still has a shiny brown-black sheen on it!
At this time, Steven saw Edith coming over from a distance, and he immediately made a few gestures to Edith. When Edith saw it, she stopped moving forward and squatted down on the spot.
Steven led the giant centipede around the area a few more times. The giant centipede's repeated attacks were unable to do anything to Steven, and Steven's fixed blade and steel-armed hunting bow could not cause substantial damage to the giant centipede.
.
Steven estimated that the giant centipede probably only had these two attack methods. It should have two elements: wind and wood. Usually creatures with wood elements are highly poisonous and have a strong ability to recover from injuries.
After Steven dodged the giant centipede's attack again, he did not circle around anymore, but retreated in the direction of Edith. The giant centipede seemed to know that it could not do anything to Steven, and turned around after chasing him for more than a hundred meters.
The head crawled back to the giant snail.
Here Steven came to Edith's side. Edith couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Steven was not injured.
