"Let's go, our next target is the Blue-Eyed Scorpion!" Jin Ruofeng pointed on the map.
The blue-eyed scorpion is a frequent visitor to Mingshan, and it is also a monster that appears every time a monster invades. Whether it is Quan Yunfeng, the beast eater, or Jin Ruofeng, who has been a military resident for more than ten years, the blue-eyed scorpion is
It is a very familiar monster. Whether it is its strengths or weaknesses, almost every military household or soldier in the army can tell it.
Jin Ruofeng chose it as the second target for only one reason. Blue-eyed scorpions mainly live in groups and are numerous. For Jin Ruofeng who urgently needs a large number of demon cores, this is one of the ideal targets. And it is about ten miles away from the poisonous golden ants.
There are two blue-eyed scorpion nests in the place. Although they are said to be two nests, according to experience, the two nests are most likely two exits of a colony on the ground, but the distance between them is a bit far.
"The blue-eyed scorpion is an earth-type monster, and its attack power is not very strong. There is nothing more to pay attention to except the poisonous hook on their tail!" Quan Yunfeng said from the side.
Jin Ruofeng also nodded: "Shi Mang, you and the Beast Eaters don't need to participate in the attack this time. You just need to protect my safety. Although the Blue-Eyed Scorpions are not very powerful, they can move quickly underground and appear unexpectedly.
You have to pay attention to this when getting close!"
Although Shi Mang is stronger in terms of strength, he has been living in the academy and is still a little unfamiliar with the habits of monsters. Fortunately, the Blue-eyed Scorpion is also an earth type. For Shi Mang of the same type, the chance of discovery is also very high.
Few, as for Beast Eater Quan Yunfeng, he serves as Jin Ruofeng's personal bodyguard. Against monsters like the Blue-Eyed Scorpion that are less than half a foot long, the heavy crossbow is of little use.
Following the long and narrow lake-like river towards the depths of the hunting ground, the bushes that appeared from time to time on the shore kept Shi Mang alert at all times, although the map did not indicate that there were wandering monster beasts here.
, but the poisonous golden ants can even lose their own leader. No one can guarantee whether there will be one or two monsters that go astray in these bushes?
Quan Yunfeng was walking close to the shore with his sharp dagger in his hand. All his attention was on the water. Although there were no fish or shrimps in the cold river, it was dead silent, with only bursts of water.
The vaporized mist floats over the water. The map shows that there may be some kind of water monster in this wide stretch of water, but what it is specifically is not marked on the map, and obviously the person who provided the information is not sure.
"Boss, there are footprints ahead!" Shi Mang suddenly found a few lines of footprints appearing in the soil not far ahead, and the three of them immediately approached.
Shi Mang was a little surprised when he looked at these lines of footprints: "These are the leather boots of a woolly rhinoceros! I have seen them in shops in Shangjing City. Even the cheapest ones cost a thousand intermediate spiritual stones!"
"Although the woolly rhinoceros is only a third-grade monster, it is very small in number and relatively rare to see. It is worth the price!" Jin Ruofeng was also a little surprised, "Logically, this is a luxury product that the nobles of Zhongzhou like, and few people use it to travel long distances.
Come out and hunt!"
"Yes! If this is broken, I guess I won't even be able to get back my money from this hunting!" Shi Mang shook his head slightly, which family's prodigal son is this? He wants better furry rhinoceros boots.
Measured by high-level spiritual stones, it can even be exchanged for some good talisman equipment.
"It didn't take long for these footprints to solidify. It should have happened within two days!" Quan Yunfeng stood up, "Could it be the group that took away the poisonous golden ant leader?"
"One, two, three, four, there are four different footprints in total. It seems that the other party is also a small team, but I don't know where it comes from!" Jin Ruofeng thought of a possible candidate, but he was just guessing. After all, this
Huang Zhenyu should have known about the presence of a nobleman in Changfeng City, but he didn't say anything. It seemed like there was something wrong with this matter.
Not far from where the footprints were found, a large black scorpion was lying alone and motionless under a boulder. Shi Mang walked over carefully and found that the blue-eyed scorpion was dead, but there were no injuries on its body.
Shi Mang answered Jin Ruofeng's side while holding the Blue-Eyed Scorpion.
The size of the blue-eyed scorpion is larger than that of ordinary scorpions, half a foot long, and its whole body is purple or black. It is good at digging holes in the ground, and usually gathers in thousands. For the defense line of Mingshan, this kind of scorpion is
The destructive power of scorpions even exceeds that of many fire or metal monsters with extremely powerful attacks.
, even some thunder-type monsters cannot compare with their destructive power. The blue-eyed scorpions can pass through the soil in a short time, and even stones cannot stop their progress. Even the solid mountain bluestone, they can pass through.
Through the gap, it is said that many observation posts in the mountain were destroyed by the hands of the Blue-Eyed Scorpion.
Fortunately, the only offensive weapon of the blue-eyed scorpions is the poisonous hook on their tail. This toxin that can produce the mabi effect is the favorite thing of the military households, especially the hunters, who regard the blue-eyed scorpion poison as a precious raw material.
This is an excellent hunting weapon. As long as it is smeared with just a little bit, it can bring down monsters below the third level. Of course, the premise is that the hunters' weapons can break through the opponent's solid fur defense.
"Boss, there are no wounds!" Shi Mang cut off the poisonous hook of the blue-eyed scorpion, and there were no traces of freezing or burning inside.
Jin Ruofeng carefully examined the dead blue-eyed scorpion and found no wounds. This was indeed a very strange thing.
"Lord Ruofeng, I wonder if you know how to treat others in their own way?" Quan Yunfeng pondered for a while and then said.
Jin Ruofeng frowned. He understood the meaning of Quan Yunfeng's words, but among the three of them, he was the only one who knew a little bit about toxins. He learned it from Lin Mu, who became a monk halfway, and was able to treat natural poisons like blue-eyed scorpions.
Things that are poisoned can definitely be called extremely dangerous existences.
"The demon core is still there!" The blue-eyed scorpion has no other value except its poisonous hook. Shi Mang violently broke down the "poor" blue-eyed scorpion and found the demon core hidden inside.
After crossing the boulder, the scene in front of the three of them caught them off guard. Within about three hundred steps behind the boulder, there were nearly a hundred blue-eyed scorpions lying on the ground. They were all the same as the one they had just discovered.
He was already dead, without any wounds on his body.
Shi Mang unceremoniously "used" these blue-eyed scorpions and confiscated their demon cores and poisonous hooks. After the more than one hundred blue-eyed scorpions were processed, those lines of footprints appeared again, but this time they were deviated.
On the shore, it entered a gravel area, and then disappeared again.
"Boss, are we looking for a bargain?" After getting so many demon cores and poisonous hooks without any effort, the smile on Shi Mang's face never broke.
"Beast Eater, based on your experience, if you want to kill so many blue-eyed scorpions, what is the most appropriate method?"
"Fire attack is the best, but it also causes the greatest damage. There is almost nothing left. Then there is the water attack. The Blue Eyes Scorpion is not familiar with water properties. When we defend against the invasion of monsters, there is a line of defense that is six feet wide and three feet deep.
The purpose of sealing the ditch is to prevent the blue-eyed scorpion from attacking!"
Jin Ruofeng had seen the water seal ditch outside Changfeng City. This is a defense method different from the city protection ditch. It is just that one or more of them are set up in front of the monster attack. It was originally used to resist the blue-eyed scorpion. Tun
Military households usually use wooden fence traps when encountering blue-eyed scorpions. Blue-eyed scorpions can move quickly in the soil, but they are helpless when encountering wooden fences. However, this kind of wooden fence can only deal with sporadic green-eyed scorpions. Large-scale
The only option is to seal the ditch with water.
Through Shi Mang's decomposition of these blue-eyed scorpions, Jin Ruofeng also found that there were no traces of water invasion in their bodies, as if more than a hundred blue-eyed scorpions died suddenly at the same time.
"Let's go to their nest and have a look!" Since he couldn't figure out what caused the sudden death of these blue-eyed scorpions, Jin Ruofeng didn't bother to think about it. Anyway, such a cheap thing is rare, and it's not cheap.
That's what a fool is.
However, although he said it very easily, Jin Ruofeng was still a little worried. He held Void Wuhen in his hand and drew a flying raft. The three people boarded the flying raft. As long as there was any abnormal phenomenon, it was absolutely right to run away.
According to the marks on the map, one of the cave entrances of the Blue-Eyed Scorpion was located about two miles away from the huge stone of the Death Jade-Eyed Scorpion that had just been discovered. However, it was somewhat deviated from the direction in which the transaction was discovered. Jin Ruofeng controlled the flying raft to slow down and slowly
Entering, Shi Mang and Quan Yunfeng also opened their eyes and scanned the surroundings.
A dark hole appeared in the middle of a piece of fine gravel. The hole was only as thick as a bucket. The smooth edge indicated that this was a frequently entered passage. Quan Yunfeng found a dead wood from somewhere, and slowly
Slowly go deep into the hole, then put it to your ear, as if listening to what's going on inside.
But a long time passed, and the surprise on Quan Yunfeng's face became more and more obvious. There was no sound in the cave. This was absolutely impossible.
"Hollow!"
"How is that possible?" Not to mention the fact that so many dead blue-eyed scorpions had just appeared around. If this was a hollow, it would have been marked on the map.
Jin Ruofeng took the dead wood and listened for a while, with a wry smile on his face: "The Beast Eater is right, this may be a hole, or all the blue-eyed scorpions may have been killed!"
"These are thousands of blue-eyed scorpions!" If calculated by the number of individuals, these blue-eyed scorpions may be one of the largest groups of monster beasts in the entire hunting ground.
"Lord Ruofeng, what should we do now?" Quan Yunfeng looked at Jin Ruofeng. He also knew that Jin Ruofeng's purpose was to obtain the demon core. If all these blue-eyed scorpions died in the cave, with the blue-eyed scorpions' ability to control the earth element, the stone
Mang may not be able to open this cave, which means that thousands of fourth-grade demon cores will have to say goodbye to them.
