Chapter 24 Monster

What the little soldier said was quite right. The desert was really not suitable for horses to move around. Ye Ying started to get into trouble after running a few steps. We had to pick some dense sand ditches to move forward. Only when we looked at the people who occasionally rode camels flying past next to us did we understand why camels are called Desert Ark!

After walking for a while, I had to put Ye Ying away. His current moving speed was not as fast as my walking speed. Instead of riding him to climb, it was better to walk by myself! Although people can’t stand the sun, the scenery in the desert is full of flavor.

As I was walking, my feet suddenly felt weak and started to sink. Unfortunately, I stepped on quicksand! "Rose Vine!" A booming tentacle flew out with yellow sand all over the sky and pulled me up to the ground. It seems that the soft desert terrain is very suitable for Rose Vine. This guy is much faster here than on land! Carefully bypass the quicksand pit and continue moving forward. There are fewer and fewer players nearby. It is estimated that the depths of the desert are more dangerous, so not many people run into it.

"Help!" A very vague cry for help appeared not far away, but the sound seemed to come from underground, and it felt very dull!

I ran over looking for the sound, climbed over the sand dunes nearby, and finally saw the target. An assassin-like professional was struggling there, with a strangely shaped forehead protector covering his entire face, leaving only a small area around his eyes and mouth. As for what he was wearing, I couldn't figure it out at all, because now except for one of his hands and his head, the rest of the ground was stuck in a sand pit!

"Don't worry!" I jumped off the sand dune. "Don't move randomly, the more you move, the faster it will sink!"

The assassin quickly stopped struggling after hearing my words. I directed the rose vine to extend a tentacle and crawl across the surface of the sand. The quicksand is fluid, and even the rose vine cannot enter directly and can only be pulled outside! "Hurry and hug him!" After the assassin hugged him, I started to direct the rose vine to pull him back, and soon he was pulled out by us.

"Thank you! It was almost over!" The assassin was still on the ground panting and thanking him. "I shouted that I was ruthless, an assassin. You can call me ruthless! What do you call me, miss?"

"Hello, my name is Ziri. Also, I'm a man, don't call me miss, otherwise don't blame me for throwing you away again!" I didn't say what my occupation was, let him guess! It’s not a lie if you don’t say it! "This is a desert. It doesn't seem to be suitable for assassin leveling, right?"

Although he was shocked to hear that I was a man, he cooperated and said nothing more because he was afraid that I would really throw him into quicksand. "I'm not here to practice!" Qing Qing finally stood up. Now I realize that he is very tall, probably about 180cm, and he is very handsome. But I don’t know if it’s because of the assassin’s tights or something else, but he looks very thin! So envious! My height of 172 cm is shorter than the boss next to him! "I accepted a mission. The mission description asked me to come here to eliminate the monsters in the dunes and open up the disappeared desert road!"

"It's a very interesting mission! Are there any rewards?"

"The reward is 10,000 crystal coins, a magic pet egg and a warrior medal." The assassin said it without hesitation. "But you can only accept it once. This is a single mission and not everyone can do it! If you want to do it, you can team up with me. This mission requires many friends to assist me. However, no matter how many people there are, the prize will not increase, so I didn’t form a team and came here alone!”

"Then I'm not sharing your things with you." I don't like to receive favors from others for nothing.

"You are my savior, so I'll pay you back. Anyway, this mission is a one-time thing. If I fail, I won't be able to take it again!" After saying that, before I could answer, he had already applied to team up with me. Since everyone said so, I couldn’t refuse, so I chose to form a team.

My mission recorder rang just after the team formation was completed. When I opened it, I saw that an unfinished mission appeared. The destination is actually not very far from here. According to the map, we should be there soon! Because there was very little content in the mission introduction, I had only a partial understanding of it, so I had to ask Qing Wu. "Do you know what monster you're going to deal with?"

"It seems to be a legion bug." Qingqing said while shaking his head: "Actually, I don't know what the legion bug is. I used to level up in Atlantis, and this is my first time. Three visits to the desert.”

"What?" I really admire him for how dare he run here alone without knowing anything. I feel like I'm on a pirate ship now! In the setting of "Zero", the magic pet egg is an extremely rare thing. This task is actually directly given as a reward, and there is also a sky-high task bonus. Taking into account the instructions in the instructions to form a team, it can be seen that this mission either requires the cooperation of multiple people or it is a super boss that is extremely difficult and requires human sea tactics or wheel battles to defeat! This fool actually ran here alone! Now I actually got involved. I should have figured out all the details before making a decision. I regret it! "Didn't you ask someone for some basic information before you came?"

"Why are you wasting so much time? You will see it when you come!"

Completely fainted! Encountered a task idiot! But I have no choice. If I quit the group and don't go, even if the mission fails, I will have to lose one level of all mission rewards! Why am I so unlucky!

"We're here!" Wu Qingqing suddenly stopped like a normal person.

"What?" I was still imagining the tragic ending of my meeting! "That's it?"

"There!" He pointed to a hole in the sand dune ahead. We cautiously approached the entrance of the cave, and Wuwu climbed over from the other side. Carefully, I stretched my head and took a look. There was nothing dark inside. "Hiss!" The sudden voice from behind made us both turn around and froze in shock! A brown-yellow crab-like monster stood right in front of us, but luckily it was obviously dumbfounded for a moment. This is obviously a high-intelligence monster. What I have concluded recently is that high-intelligence monsters sometimes fall into a daze due to emergencies, but low-intelligence monsters rush towards people when they see them!

I first calmed down and swung the long sword in my hand and slashed at him. Now I wasn't worried about my identity being exposed, my life was still at stake! This time I didn't chop the monster's body but swept its legs, because I knew at a glance that this guy was not an enemy that could be killed with a sword. Instead of wasting this opportunity to attack, it would be more cost-effective to just make it lose its ability to move. Besides, it looks like it's not easy to deal with in its armor. On the contrary, its eight slender pointed legs look very fragile!

My idea was successful. I easily broke off all six of this guy's legs with one sword move. It obviously hadn't learned how to stand on two legs and fell down with a thud. "Run!" I picked up Qing Wu, who was still in a daze, and ran quickly. As soon as Wuqing recovered, he actually ran faster than me, but neither of us could reach a safe area.

There was a loud noise accompanied by huge waves of sand. The sand dune in front of us disappeared instantly, and a group of more than 300 monsters appeared at the original location of the dune. The new monsters that appeared are bigger than the one whose leg I cut off just now. These guys look like the furry poisonous spiders that are often seen in the primeval forest, and now each of these guys is as big as a buffalo. About the same size!

Wu Wuqing drew out his short dagger. "Be careful, this is the Desert Wolf Spider, a level 507 monster. It usually acts alone, but today it actually appears in groups!"

"Do you know what that thing I put down just now is?" I had identified that thing just now, but now that I heard Qingqing say these things are called desert wolf spiders, I knew it was not good.

"What was that just now?"

"Desert Wolf Spider King!"

"No! They look so different!"

"Unfortunately, I must tell you that it is!" I started to plan what to do. Maybe I could do it by summoning luck from the sky!

Just when I was planning how to solve the situation in front of me, something happened again! The ground suddenly began to shake, and after a while a smooth black hemisphere appeared behind the tarantulas. I suddenly realized what it was! This bare back can only represent one thing: the iron beetle! I didn’t expect something like that to exist here!

Soon, the black hill rose up, and the iron beetle crawled out from under the sand pit, and then the second and third one appeared. Now we are in big trouble, it seems we have stung a hornet's nest!

"What are those big guys?" Qingqing obviously had never seen an iron beetle before.

"Iron Beetle, a level 650 monster, has a terrifyingly high defense. You might not be able to break through its defense!"

"So perverted! What about the one behind us?"

"Back there?" I almost didn't sit on the ground when I turned around. The hole just now has completely disappeared, and an iron beetle that has been enlarged two or three times appears there. Do you know this guy is the Iron Scarab King at a glance? "I have a suggestion!"

"What?"

"Let's run!" After I said that, I started running. Wuwu moved a step slower. The Iron Scarab King next to him shot out a green flame, and Wuwu disappeared almost instantly.

I ran away in a hurry, but the private chat rang. "Zi Ri, I was killed!"

"I know! Don't talk about that thing being above level 700. You're an assassin! Don't bother me now. I'm working hard!" He quickly hung up the private chat, because the Desert Wolf Spider from behind had already rushed up. I was so depressed. I can't run away from them without Yeying's help! "Lucky!" Hurry up and jump on the dragon's back, it's too dangerous below!

Lucky was just about to take off when the tarantula behind him suddenly sprayed out something white and flew over. I was lucky enough to dodge and was hit hard, but it seems like I have no attack power! But then something went wrong. The lucky takeoff failed, and a huge force pulled us down again.

Looking back, I finally know what happened! Damn, that white ball just now was spider silk! There were more than a dozen threads wrapped around the back of Lucky's butt, and countless little spiders pulled on the end of the thread, making Lucky unable to move at all!

"Come out!" I summoned all the demon pets and demon servants in one breath. Since I couldn't run away, I had to let go!

As soon as Xiaofeng appeared, he put up a row of flame walls to isolate the monsters behind him, leaving us a chance to breathe. By the way, he burned the spider silk behind Lucky's butt! I called the boss of the Demon Spirit Knight to seize the time and assign the task. "Bring the Demon Spirit Knight to help me stop the Iron Beetle behind me. Xiaofeng is responsible for using the sea of ​​fire to burn a large area for me! Little Dragon Girl, do you have anything that can temporarily trap the boss of the Iron Beetle?"

"Yes, my Demon Sealing Array can seal it, but only for thirty minutes!"

"Then let's do this first! You seal it first. Phantom, me, body, Rose Vine, you are specially responsible for causing trouble. Pull those lone little spiders underground and kill them! The darts are responsible for disturbing the outside." Confuse their sight! Yeying has trouble moving, so he uses magic to support us outside. Lucky attacks with me! Okay, start taking action!"

Xiaofeng quickly removed the wall of fire and replaced it with a sea of ​​fire. Blue flames suddenly covered a large area of ​​​​the nearby ground, and desert wolf spiders were burned inside. "Lucky, Dragon Flame!" Dragon Flame is most suitable when enemies are densely packed!

Lucky opened his mouth and released a mouthful of dragon flame, and a passage was cleared in front of us in an instant. The demon knights quickly ran through the passage. Although they could no longer ride horses, they were not slow in running. By the time the wolf spiders next to them closed together again, they had already passed through the wolf spiders' defense line and approached the iron beetle. I put the disguised mage robe into the bracelet, and now I can’t help but try my best! I pulled out both dragon tooth swords and jumped into the spider pile myself!

Lucky Lift started to use dragon flames to clear the way for me, and I fought all the way towards the Wolf Spider King whose legs I cut off. The surrounding wolf spiders may have realized my intention, and all the wolf spiders ran in front of me to block the way, but this actually increased the use effect of the lucky dragon flame. Due to the excessive density of the wolf spiders, every time he sprayed the dragon flame, "Shoot" can knock down a large number of tarantulas.

A relatively large wolf spider suddenly jumped up from the group of wolf spiders. I was fighting with the surrounding wolf spiders, so how could I deal with this monster that fell from the sky! Now I really wish I was a spider too. With eight legs I could at least grab a few more weapons!

Seeing the wolf spider falling from the sky toward me, I quickly inserted the dragon tooth sword in my right hand from the mouth of a wolf spider, and the green liquid sprayed all over my face. . The sword was stuck, so he decisively let go of the sword in his hand, raised his hand and pointed it at the falling wolf spider in the sky. With a move of his finger, the dragon tendon flying rope flew out. With a bang, the tarantula in the sky was split in half, and the green blood poured over me again like a shower! Turning around, I waved my hand and the flying rope swept out. There was a crackling sound and green liquid flew everywhere. Only now did I realize that the most powerful weapon on this magic dragon suit is the dragon tendon rope! But I also discovered another problem with it. Cutting things with a flying rope costs mana. It was really cool to sweep down a bunch of tarantulas just now, but I only have a few dozen points of mana left!

Another tarantula flew out and jumped towards me. I didn't dare to use the zip line anymore. I turned my wrist and the soul-chasing arrow flew out. There was nothing I could do now! An arrow penetrated the jumping tarantula, and when he let go, another flying arrow came out. This time, it was an ordinary arrow that only wounded a tarantula that was about to take off!

I was about to add another arrow when suddenly a huge force from behind threw me to the ground. I knew a tarantula had jumped on my back! But the power suddenly disappeared again. Looking back, Lucky used his big tail to hit a beautiful home run! He swept away the wolf spiders one by one, and brought several more with him when they landed! But there are so many wolf spiders that this has no effect at all!

Suddenly, the pressure around me was much lighter, and the tarantulas were retreating one after another. When I looked in the distance, it turned out that the demon knight had killed all 13 iron beetles, and there were only insect corpses left on the ground! They are already charging back, no wonder the pressure on my side is much less!

Rose Vine finally sneaked up to the side of the Wolf Spider King, and six tentacles appeared at the same time. With a crash, the entire Wolf Spider King disappeared on the sand. I don't know if Rose Vine has solved it, because I don't have the mind to be distracted right now, and my experience bar is also spinning like a stopwatch, so I can't analyze whether I have killed the Wolf Spider King from this.

The Demon Knights quickly came to my side. The wolf spiders that were hundreds of levels behind them were no match for them. I felt like they were like special forces soldiers in the kindergarten. They could kill a wolf spider with just a swipe. In comparison, I was in a much worse state. Not only did I suffer a lot of major and minor injuries, but my health and magic values ​​were also at their lowest! Because they are lucky enough to help me share my life, I have not carried any 'medicine' for such a long time. It seems that I will still have to carry some of this with me in the future!

"Behind!" I saw the boss of the iron beetle seemed to have broken away from the demon-sealing formation. I wanted to warn the demon knights but seemed to be a step too late. The three demon knights walking behind were all killed by this monster that was bigger than luck. It was knocked out.

I saw that the hit Demon Knight's life was at its lowest point in an instant, but luckily he didn't die! I quickly took the three of them back. The demon servants cannot be resurrected, so losing them would be a huge loss! The remaining seven demon knights in front quickly ran away, and the boss of the Iron Scarab rushed directly towards me. This guy obviously couldn't tell the difference between friend and foe. I don't know how many tarantulas were trampled to death if they didn't escape in time along the way!

Just when the boss of the iron beetle rushed in front of me, Lucky ran over quickly to hold it up. Unexpectedly, Lucky was actually knocked out and rolled over several times on the ground before barely able to stabilize his body! This thing is too powerful! "Little Dragon Girl! Help!"

The little dragon girl appeared above us like lightning. "Level 10 lightning strike!" A super lightning hit the big guy's back, but the arc only flashed a few times and everything was fine. Oh my god, what kind of monster is this?

"Master! Rose Vine killed the Wolf Spider boss!" Phantom suddenly reminded me. The surrounding wolf spiders suddenly receded like a tide! It's really scary. I was promoted to two levels just now! I don’t know how many wolf spiders they killed, but the desert in front of them was completely covered with green slime from wolf spiders!

Suddenly there was only this huge monster left around, and I took the opportunity to look at it with my star eyes. "Golden beetle, a level 900 insect-like monster, attack power 10-2300, defense power 5000, speed 100, life 100,000, mana 5000, attack with poison damage, talent skill acid spray damage 1 and cause continuous damage 10 seconds, the physical attack effect is halved, and the magic resistance is 45%,???." Isn't this enough, a whole tank! The skills are also very powerful, but how do you do the greeting at the end? Does Xingtong have any skills that cannot be identified?

Without giving me any chance to breathe, the scarab rushed towards me again. "Xiao Feng!"

Xiaofeng rushed over like lightning and took me high into the sky. When the golden beetle raised its head, a ruby-like object flashed in the middle of its head, and a red light hit Xiaofeng. Xiaofeng and I were hit so hard that we fell away. Come down, this guy's attack power is too terrible, why is he still carrying a laser weapon?

The remaining demon spirit knights threw their spears together, but unlike the iron beetle, this time the spears hit the golden beetle's armor and made a clanging sound, but none of them penetrated!

"Xiaofeng, are you okay?" Xiaofeng on my side couldn't stand up after being shot down, so I had to put him away first! It's all because of that ruthless thing, what kind of ruthless thing is that? It's just mindless! Can one person take on this kind of task? I think this is simply a guild mission!

There's no point in complaining, we still have to go! Quickly summon the demon knights to re-form, now only they can fight these things! According to Xing Tong's indication, it doesn't have much blood left, and the Demon Spirit Knight's attack just now had no effect! Although he is a level 900 monster, the Demon Spirit Knight is also at level 850. Being surrounded by 7 Demon Spirit Knights, even if it has high defense, it will still suffer!

The boss of the Demon Spirit Knight took the lead and rushed forward with a spear. Little did he know that the golden beetle actually had something hidden! After a flash of light, the demon spirit knight boss flew back, and the remaining six demon spirit knights beside him went up together to catch the demon spirit knight boss. That golden beetle is actually different from the iron beetle. It has more than six legs, and it also has a pair of forelimbs on the front used for attacking!
