Soon Steven came to Edith's side, and the giant centipede had retreated to the other side of the valley.
Steven whispered: "Edith, are you not injured? The poisonous mist sprayed by the centipede is very poisonous!"
Edith nodded and said: "Fortunately! We retreated in time. They are setting up defenses outside the canyon. Please wait a moment while I collect some of its venom. I think I can try to make medicine to relieve the toxin."
After speaking, Edith slowly came to the vicinity of the battlefield under the leadership of Steven. The grass there fell to the ground, and the grass stained by the poisonous mist all turned dark red.
Edith put on her gloves and pulled up a few handfuls of poisonous grass from the ground and put them into an empty leather bag on her belt. She stood up and gestured to Steven, and the two of them retreated out of the valley.
Soon after, Steven and Edith met up with other members of the mercenary group, and they hid behind a temporary fence of tree branches to discuss the next plan.
Edith spoke first: "This giant centipede is probably the murderer behind the disappearance of hunters in Valarr Village and several surrounding villages! Steven, please tell us about the situation after your encounter with it, and then we will make a decision based on the intelligence.
.”
Steven nodded and said: "This giant centipede has the power of wood and wind elements! It has two attack methods: one is to lift its body about 1/3 of its height, and then fly towards the prey, with two sticks sticking out of its mouth.
Only the limbs of the turtle are highly poisonous. If you are stung, you will be poisoned. In addition, it can spray a dark red poisonous mist from its mouthparts. The range of the poisonous mist is very long! I estimate that the range of the spray is 30 to 40 meters. The poisonous mist
It will cover an area of 40 to 50 square meters!”
"I estimate that its body length is 15 to 16 meters and its height is more than 1 meter." He added: "In addition, its speed is very fast! It exceeds the sprint speed of most warriors!" There were gasps from the crowd, and several
The soldiers looked at each other with shocked expressions!
After Steven finished speaking, he looked around at everyone and continued: "In addition, its perception is very strong! It discovered us before we discovered it! I guess it was through the vibrations on the ground when we walked
It has discovered us, so we must pay attention to this! In addition, its vision is very strong! Especially for moving objects! Apart from the above two points, its sensitivity to smell and hearing cannot be judged yet. "
Edith said: "Its sense of smell may also be very strong! As for hearing, it's hard to say. Have you seen any hearing organs on its body?"
Steven replied: "Its tentacles can sense sounds and can also distinguish smells in the air. It's just hard to judge the distinguishing ability, but I think it should be very sensitive!" He answered Edith's question based on his own knowledge.
"That means it has completely overwhelmed us in terms of perception ability! This is not easy to handle! We probably can't get close to it and sneak attack it without it noticing us!" Edith judged.
Steven said: "That's true!"
Edith turned to everyone and said: "What do you think? Should we hunt this giant centipede?"
Shield warrior Joad tried to lower his voice and asked: "Brother Steven! Can its skin and meat be sold for a lot of money?"
Several other soldiers also paid attention to this issue. The value of this giant centipede may be the basis for deciding whether the mercenary group should hunt it.
Steven replied: "I am afraid that even if its meat is edible, no one would dare to buy it! So there is no need to consider this aspect, but its hard shell is definitely valuable! I can't hurt the back of it with a hunting bow or a fixed knife."
Hard shell! I think its greatest value lies in its hard shell! This hard shell can be used to make many shields and armors with strong defense!"
Edith nodded in agreement: "And this huge centipede has a lot of hard shells on it. If you take it back, it can be sold for a very high price! Make your decision now!"
Spearman Kezan said: "Of course I want to hunt it! But its defense and attack capabilities are so powerful! Especially the poisonous mist it launches. If we can't deal with the poisonous mist, I'm afraid we won't be able to hunt it! Instead, we ourselves
Might be its food!”
Steven nodded and agreed with Kezan's judgment. It is true that the poisonous mist of the giant centipede is very powerful. What is even more terrifying is its speed! Once the mercenary group is at a disadvantage in the battle, except for himself, the others will not even have a chance to escape.
!
Edith said with confidence in her tone: "The poisonous mist is not a problem! Have you forgotten me as the master of the wood element?! I have just identified its toxin, which is a toxin that can paralyze nerves and absorb
Toxins from moisture! Fortunately, there are no corrosive ingredients! So I can completely prepare an antidote! You don’t have to worry about this!"
Several soldiers became excited after hearing this. Weishan, the sword warrior, whistled softly and said: "Then kill it! I agree to hunt this little reptile! What do you think?"
Joad and the long-range attacker Xi Lai both nodded in agreement, with obviously excited expressions on their faces. They must have estimated its value in their hearts.
At this time, the cautious Kezan expressed his worries again: "Even if its toxin can be eliminated, how can we hurt it? According to Steven's intelligence, this thing's defense is super strong! Our attack can
Does it work for it?”
Edith nodded and said: "Kzan's concerns are very reasonable! We must come up with an attack plan now, and first consider how to break through its defense! Steven, do you have anything to do about this?" She turned her head.
Ask Steven a question.
Steven lowered his head and pondered over this problem, recalling the scene when he was fighting the giant centipede. Then he had a plan in his mind, but Edith still needed to solve some things. Others saw Steven lost in thought.
They all waited patiently and silently.
Steven raised his head, looked around and said to everyone: "I do have a plan! Based on the analysis of the battle with the giant centipede just now, there is a flaw on the side of its body, where it extends its limbs! That position
The shell is relatively thin and can be broken open with a straight knife, but because its body is too big, this flaw is not fatal enough! So I think some kind of toxin must be used!"
In fact, in Steven's mind, there is another excellent plan, which is to have an ice element controller like Kate. As long as the side of the centipede is broken, the ice element controller reaches into the centipede's body to activate the elemental ability.
Freeze it, and then the giant centipede will be completely at the mercy of others!
But the current situation is that without an ice element controller like Kate, we can only take a step back and use some kind of toxin that can destroy the inside of the centipede's body!
Edith was a little hesitant after hearing Steven's plan: "But the information you just received showed that it has the ability of wood element. Usually this ability has extremely high resistance to poison. I think the poison will not work on it!"
