The Centipede Cave is about 300 miles northwest of the city. There are carriages that go there directly at the relay station. However, in order to make it easier to travel, we bought five warhorses and set off for the Centipede Cave. Unlike ordinary civilians, it was easier for rangers to earn money, so it was not difficult to raise horses to travel. Unless it was a novice who had just debuted, it was a different matter. We traveled as fast as lightning, but there weren't only a few of us on the way to Centipede Cavern. There were at least 200 riders. After all, Centipede Cavern was a suitable place for cultivation around the city. Most of the rangers chose to practice their martial arts in Centipede Cavern while doing some missions to maintain their expenses.
After running for about four hours, they saw a continuous mountain range that was much higher than the ground. It meandered all the way to the end of the sky. That should be the mountain range where the centipede cave was located! I calculated. After running for another half an hour, we arrived at the foot of the mountain range. Looking from afar, there were large grasslands on both sides. Thousands of warhorses were leisurely strolling on the open grasslands. Twenty meters in front of us was a large courtyard surrounded by wooden stakes. There were many rangers wearing armor and swords sitting there, drinking tea and chatting.
This was the Fragrant Grass Farm at the foot of Centipede Cave. It was a convenient place for rangers who cultivated in Centipede Cave. Although it was called a farm, it also operated as an inn, a grocery store, and a pharmacy. As it was the closest place to Centipede Cave, the business here was surprisingly booming. It had to be said that the owner of the farm, the pharmacy, the inn, and the grocery store had a good eye.
During the endless stream of people, some went up the mountain and some went down the mountain. It could be seen that there were many people cultivating on the mountain. We also left the horses in the ranch. Then, Bian followed the crowd up the mountain. This reminded me of the Centipede Cavern leveling army in the Legend of Mir 2.
"That one!" I was a little hesitant, but I still couldn't help but ask the question in my heart,"There are so many people. Are there enough mutated creatures in Centipede Cave to kill?”
"Don't worry!" "The situation here is different from the Skeleton Cave!" Long Qi laughed. In order to make this place suitable for cultivation, the Ranger Guild had improved this place more than a thousand years ago and set up the Queen Bug Array! Moreover, Centipede Cave's special terrain and magical elements were the most suitable environment for these mutated creatures to grow. It would not even take a week for the mutated creatures to mature from birth. They would appear in every corner of the cave. No matter how many people came, they would not be killed.”
"Of course, if they were all like you, it would be hard to say!”Long Zhan subconsciously added.
"I see!" I was a little puzzled,"What is this queen bug array? It can actually create so many mutated creatures!"”
"The so-called Mother Worm Array is actually a special magic array that uses the characteristics of dark magic to change the growth form of creatures.”Long Qi explained," Actually, the mutated creatures in Centipede Cave were originally ordinary creatures. However, due to the influence of the Queen Bug Formation's dark magic, their bodies mutated. In the end, they grew to a size that was many times larger than normal.”
Could it be a genetic mutation caused by radiation?
After listening to Long Qi's introduction, I immediately thought of the fragments of genetic mutations in science fiction stories. At the same time, I was a little worried."Then will we be affected if we stay in there for too long?”
"Don't worry!" Jin Hong continued," The dark magic of the Queen Bug Formation is only effective against insects or small reptiles. It won't cause any harm to humans. After all, this is the conclusion of more than a thousand years of experiments.”
I was stunned. My god, this world's biotechnology is too advanced."This Mother Bug Array is so powerful!”
"I really lost to you!" "As a Ranger, you don't even know the most important training ground in the Ranger World." Long Xin continued.”
" Hehe," I laughed dryly in embarrassment.
"That's it!" " You can think of Centipede Cave as a hive of bees or bugs," Long Qi said." But the creatures inside are much bigger than their ancestors." Then you will understand how amazing the growth speed of the mutated creatures inside is!”
"In short, don't worry, too many people will kill all the monsters.”"You should understand now."”
F * ck! It was even more awesome than the refresh system in the Legend of Mir 2! I sighed inwardly.
While they were talking, they arrived in front of a huge cave. The entrance of the cave was already filled with a dense crowd. There were quite a number of people coming in and out. We didn't delay and directly walked in.
The cave was surprisingly large. The gap between the two walls was wider than a football field. It extended all the way inside. Most of the people quickly moved inside, and we followed the majority of the people along the passage.
According to the Ranger's manual, Centipede Cave was divided into several levels, and the terrain was complicated. It was like a huge underground world. Following the open road, we followed the fork and walked for about a hundred meters before we heard the rumbling of lightning and the sharp sound of metal colliding. It was obvious that someone was fighting monsters and cultivating in front of us.
We followed the sound curiously. Actually, this was also to increase our experience. After all, this was our first time entering the centipede cave. We also wanted to see how the other Rangers cultivated.
Bang! After turning the corner, we saw a team of rangers guarding a corner and fighting with the surrounding monsters. There were many similar teams in other corners of the training ground. Looking at their age, they should be about the same age as us. The number of people in a group is ten. This is the maximum number of people that can be formed in a group.
"Looks like they're doing some kind of mission!”Long Qi analyzed.
"Your cooperation is very good." Long Xin muttered to herself.
I've never seen a Ranger team of ten before. He also wanted to know how they fought. Now that he had encountered it, he naturally had to observe it properly.
The leader was a Warrior, about 20 years old. He had golden hair and golden eyes. He was tall and was wearing standard intermediate warrior equipment. He was wearing heavy armor and Shura was not wearing a helmet. In front of him, there were two middle-level warriors standing in a triangle. Behind them were six young girls dressed in mage robes. Their weapons were crescent moons, and behind them was a young boy dressed like a Taoist priest. Among the ten people, he was considered the most leisurely.
Occasionally, he would wave the Demon Fighter in his hand and release a huge golden light that surrounded the three Warriors and six Mages. His skeleton just stood quietly beside him, as if it was a guard.
The three Warriors were the busiest in the battlefield. The three Shuras kept hacking and hacking. Any maggots, centipedes, or jumping bees that broke into their formation would be immediately chopped into pieces by them. It could be said that they died without a complete corpse. It was a tragic sight.
"It's the Triangular Killing Formation!" Long Zhan exclaimed,"So powerful!" It seemed that the cooperation between these three warriors was very tacit!”
And at this moment!
Puchi!
Wu!
A jumping bee was instantly dismembered amidst a miserable cry. Meanwhile, the six mage girls 'lightning spells had already lured the three monsters towards the corner. As the mage girls were hiding behind the three warriors, the monsters that tried to attack the mage would only charge straight into the triangular killing formation formed by the three warriors. However, what greeted them in the end was the three warriors mercilessly slashing at them. They didn't even have time to react before they died.
The next wave of monsters were also killed by the lightning spells of the Mage girls.
"Haha! I've finally broadened my horizons!" Long Qi laughed." I've only heard of the existence of the Triangular Killing Formation in the stories of the Rangers. But now, I've seen it with my own eyes!"”
"Unfortunately, we only have two Warriors!”Long Zhan said regretfully.
"Forget it!" "We have a better killing move, don't we?" Long Xin said disapprovingly.”Long Xin subconsciously glanced at me before leading the way. As for Jin Hong, she looked at Long Xin and I with a confused expression, as if she wanted to see something.
We continued walking until we finally found another place where no one else was cultivating. However, the density of monsters in this place was shockingly high. Perhaps it was because no one came to cultivate, but the place was always full of monsters.
The open cave was densely packed with a shocking number of ferocious mutated creatures. The entire cave was enveloped by a buzzing sound, like the buzzing of countless bees. These sounds were made by the jumping bees that were about the size of a human and looked similar to wasps.
There were also countless rustling sounds. Countless thick centipedes were wriggling back and forth, their solid bodies constantly rubbing against the hard ground, causing this strange sound.
The entire cave could be described with one word.
Noisy!
This was a noisy and irritating world. Moreover, the surroundings were filled with a thick and strange smell, like rotten meat that had been rotten for a long time. This was also a very uncomfortable smell.
Long Xin, who had been prepared, took out a few helmets from her space bag.
"Daoist helmet!" I was shocked as I looked at the helmets that looked like cat heads.
"Haha!" " Take them all with you," Long Xin said proudly." This way, the unpleasant smell will disappear!"”
I curiously took the helmet and put it on.
I have to admit that the design of the Daoist helmet was really good. It covered the entire head above the nose, leaving only the mouth exposed. When I breathed, the unpleasant smell also disappeared. Not only that, after putting on the helmet, I clearly felt my entire spirit shake. It was as if the buzzing sounds from the outside world could no longer disturb my mind.
"Haha!" I curiously touched the two protruding ears on my head."It's really a good thing."
"Of course." "Six hundred gold coins for one, how could it not be good?" Long Xin said. "So, you have to cheer up. Our expenses have already exceeded our budget. If we can't complete the mission I accepted yesterday, I'm afraid we won't even have money for food.”
"Alright! I know." I knew that I had to make Long Xin shut her mouth. Otherwise, she would be able to unleash a noise shockwave that was even more terrifying than Tang Sanzang's. Even the powerful defense of the Daoist helmet would not be able to withstand this shockwave.
After putting on our helmets, we found a relatively safe corner to try and warm up.
"Boss! Lure one over first so that we can familiarize ourselves with it!”Long Zhan was already impatient.
"En! Watch me!" Long Xin! He casually cast a lightning spell and accurately hit a centipede 20 meters away.
To be honest, this centipede was really big. Its appearance was similar to that of the legends. Of course, the jumping bees were the same. However, it had been a long time since they came to this world. They were no longer surprised by the various strange creatures or magic in this world. This should be the so-called 'no surprise.'
The giant centipede charged towards Long Xin at high speed, its countless feet on both sides of its body shaking like an electric razor, with astonishing speed, its body forming an S shape as it charged towards Long Xin.
In the blink of an eye, he was only five meters away from Long Xin.
"Roar!" Long Zhan took a step forward, swinging the Shura Battle Axe with both hands and chopping it head-on.
With a bang, the centipede's body was slashed squarely, and brown blood instantly splattered in all directions. And the injured centipede only twisted its body slightly, its ferocious mouthpart turned towards Long Zhan to bite.
Humph! Long Zhan took a slight step to the side and swept horizontally with a move. The Asura Battle Axe swept onto the centipede's waist that was as thick as a water bucket.
Puchi! The centipede's body was once again cut open, but it did not die. Reddish-brown blood flowed out, and the air was filled with a nauseating stench. And the second half of the centipede's thick body suddenly rolled up, sweeping towards Long Zhan.
Long Zhan could only take a slight step to the side to dodge again. After dodging the centipede's attack, he rushed forward again and slashed twice at the hole he had just made.
Wu!
With a mournful cry, the centipede fell to the ground and died.
"Speed, strength, and defense are balanced!”Long Qi analyzed.
"Yes!" I couldn't help but nod.”
Bang!
Long Xin nodded slightly before she sent out another bolt of lightning.
Wu!
The centipede that was hit quickly rushed over. I took a step forward and calculated the centipede's speed and the timing of my attack. Finally, the centipede entered my attack range.
Roar!
Lightning Steps. The Hundred-battle Saber turned into an arc of light and disappeared instantly.
Whoosh! With a slight sound, the centipede stopped moving. Then, the raised front half of its body separated and fell to the ground.
It turned out that my attack had already sliced his body apart. To be honest, his defense wasn't even comparable to a Skeleton General's, but his speed was much faster than a Skeleton General's. However, in front of me, his speed advantage was useless.
"" Jin Hong stared at me with his mouth agape, as though he was shocked by my attack."So-so fast!"
"It seems that killing a centipede with one slash isn't a problem!”"There's no problem with speed!" Long Qi said.”
"Yes!" I subconsciously nodded my head. Honestly speaking, my strength wasn't stronger than Long Zhan's, but the reason why I could easily cut the centipede into two ends was because of the Hundred-battle Saber's unique shape that brought the speed of the slash to the maximum. In addition, my own motor nerves were also good at instantaneous explosive speed, so I could easily cut the centipede's body.
"F * ck, I might as well practice my saber too!”Long Zhan looked at his axe with an unwilling expression, then looked at my Hundred-battle Saber and sighed,""That's too fast!"
"Alright, let's try the worms and the bouncing bees!”"The last one is the black maggot!" Long Xin continued.”
"Yes!" I nodded, and Long Xin quickly attracted another worm. In the end, it was still cut in half by me with one slash, and the next jumping bee was also cut in half by me.
Jin Hong was already used to it. Everyone looked nervously at the rapidly approaching maggot.
This black maggot was like a high-speed spinning tire. In the blink of an eye, it crashed into me. However, I had absolute confidence in my speed and reaction speed. At this moment, the black maggot was curled up in a charging position, and there were no flaws in its body. I didn't know where to start, so I could only swing my sword and forcefully stab it on its back.
Bang! With a dazzling flash, my Hundred-battle Saber seemed to have hit a steel plate. The powerful rebound force almost caused my Hundred-battle Saber to fly out of my hand. However, the black maggot didn't seem to be injured at all. After a slight pause, it charged towards me again.
Roar! At the same time, I took a step forward and slashed at the hard shell of the black maggot.
Bang! Just like before, my Hundred-battle Saber was unable to penetrate its shell. Instead, it bounced back. The black maggot seemed to be addicted to hitting me. After shaking me away, it arched its body again and spun its hard body to quickly hit me. It knocked me back several times.
At this moment, Jin Hong was looking at me in disbelief, as if she didn't understand why I was being suppressed by the black maggots.
Long Xin and the other two wore solemn expressions: "It seems that Xingchen's saber technique still has flaws! Long Qi analyzed," Against opponents who are good at defense and have no weaknesses, it would be difficult for Star's sharp saber technique to play a fatal role!”
"Yes!" Long Zhan also nodded slightly in agreement.""Looks like it's hard to quickly increase the efficiency of killing monsters by relying solely on Stars 'fast sword!”
"If I can create a way for the black maggots to show weakness when attacking the stars.”Long Qi analyzed.
"Do you mean to let the black maggot reveal its weakness?”Long Zhan asked doubtfully.
"Yes, only in this way can we create a chance for Constellation to deal a fatal blow.”Long Qi said with certainty.
"But what should I do?" Long Zhan said.
" I don't think it's difficult. As long as you hit the maggot the moment it charges at you, it will definitely stop. When it's ready to launch its second wave of attack, it will definitely make a stretching action. This is the weakness of the maggot. I believe that with the speed of the stars, it will definitely be able to seize this short moment and kill the maggot in one strike.”
"But wouldn't it be troublesome this way?”Long Zhan hesitated," Two processes are needed. It will reduce the efficiency of killing monsters by one fold!"。”
"I think you've forgotten that the Star's offensive sword energy can be stored and released continuously.”"If I let the Stars store their sword energy to deal with the maggots, it should be effective!" Long Xin reminded.”
"Haha!" Long Xin's reminder made me suddenly understand. Damn it, how could I forget that I still have a unique skill? Thinking about it, I subconsciously began to accumulate offensive sword qi. After a while, he felt the powerful and abundant offensive sword qi in his body. Seizing the opportunity, I released a few sword auras towards the black maggots that were rapidly approaching me.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The black maggots that were halfway through the attack were pierced through by the Sword Qi on the spot. Then, they hit the ground and exploded like blood balls. Brown liquid splashed everywhere.
This situation greatly shocked us.
"So powerful!" Long Zhan muttered to himself,"The black maggot's hard armor is simply unable to defend against the penetrating attack of the killing sword qi!"”
