Chapter 156: Horror Canyon! The Mysterious Big Boss!
Hang Yu was watching the development of the Wancheng map through the lord's vision.
He noticed that the players led by Ye Limeng were all elites of the War God Temple Corps. Although there was no obvious competition or interest disputes between the corps, they were more inclined to find their own corps in team operations.
As for the Thousand-Eyed Centipede.
This is a level 21 elite wild monster!
Hang Yu didn't expect that any wild monster in the Wancheng map could reach level three!
What does this mean? The map level of Wancheng is extremely high! Level three monsters are likely to be everywhere!
No wonder the exploration process of other teams of the Scourge Army was hindered and they were easily wiped out!
This also shows that the abyss pollution in the Wancheng area is far more serious than that of Woniu Mountain. Not only the space and terrain have been greatly affected, but time may also be distorted and stretched longer.
The abyss time of the main city of Luoshui is 20 years.
The abyss time in the Woniu Mountain area is 40 years.
The abyss time in the Wancheng area may reach hundreds of years!
A hundred years is enough to change too many things. The average life span of the emperors of the Han Dynasty was only 30 or 40 years. A hundred years in ancient times can completely replace four or five generations, which is enough to change many habits and customs.
Under normal circumstances.
The more severe the distortion of space and time.
The more serious the deviation of the area from history.
Hang Yu didn't know what kind of monsters and painting styles would be derived in the Wancheng area.
However, these things are not important at the moment. Let's see how the Scourge Army of the Temple of War will deal with the troubles in front of them. Although the third-level elite monsters of level 21 are very powerful, the material drops must be very rich.
In terms of the drop of abyss essence and magic stones and magic crystals, this kind of wild monster is not as good as humanoid abyss creatures or star clans.
From the perspective of overall economic benefits, wild monster-type abyss creatures are more precious and rare, even far higher than other types of monsters. If the Scourge Army can successfully hunt, the income of this trip to the territory will not be low!
With this expectation.
Hang Yu began to watch the battle.
I saw that the Thousand-Eyed Centipede was very alert.
When it discovered the sneaky players nearby.
It swung hundreds or thousands of legs at the same time and swam quickly. Its huge body emitted bursts of hissing and low roars, and launched an offensive against several stealth-scouting ranger players nearby in an oppressive manner.
"Be careful!"
"We are exposed!"
The Thousand-Eyed Centipede is not small in size, but moves very fast. Its bloated and deformed upper body is always raised like a cobra during the swimming process. Thousands of eyes on its upper abdomen flashed fiercely, and a ball of green flames spewed out from its ugly and deformed giant mouth.
Guzhou, Huimu, Ning Caichen II and other agile second-level rangers immediately activated the Wind Step or used the Shadow Step to avoid the flames that flooded like a flood.
-
242!
-
251!
...
Two weaker level 10 rangers were unfortunately hit. The green flames did not seem to be very hot, but once they touched the body, they were difficult to extinguish and had strong corrosiveness. A level 10 player could be killed in just two or three seconds.
Although Gu Zhou and others were not directly burned by the flames, a poisonous smoke was released from the burning green flames, covering the area of dozens or hundreds of meters nearby in an all-pervasive manner.
[You are affected by the "bone-eroding poisonous fire"! ]
[You are in the "poisoned" state, all attributes -5, and health points decrease by 10 points per second! ]
Several second-level rangers were shocked!
The power of this poisonous fire is too strong!
Even if you are not directly burned, you will be poisoned, and your health points will decrease by 10 points per second. Ten seconds is 100 points, and one minute is 600 points. Even a second-level player will definitely die!
"Damn it!"
"Don't get close!"
"Otherwise the poisoning will get worse!"
"Damn it, if I had known I would encounter this kind of monster, I should have gone to the Kiba Hotel to eat the poison-resistant set meal today!"
"..."
Several rangers quickly took blood-replenishing pills and detoxification pills. Although they suppressed the poison damage to a certain extent, as long as they were around the Thousand-Eyed Centipede, the poisonous effects would continue to deepen.
In this situation, even Gu Zhou did not dare to get close. He could only distance himself from the Thousand-Eyed Centipede, while dodging the poisonous fire that was ejected, and taking out a bow and arrow to attack.
Bang!
Gu Zhou aimed at the centipede's head and shot a fire feather arrow, but the arrow was not hit by the target and was suddenly bounced away by an invisible energy.
"What's going on?"
Another arrow was shot.
The result was still ineffective.
The Thousand-Eyed Centipede not only has a powerful poisonous fire attack ability, it also seems to have some tricky defense methods. Several second-level rangers shot about ten arrows in succession, but none of them successfully hit or caused damage.
At this time, Ye Limeng and other players rushed to the vicinity.
"Be careful, this monster is very tricky, everyone spread out, don't let it kill you all at once!"
The 13th-level warlock Xiao Ma Ge raised his long staff and cast a "Wind Guardian" spell at Ye Limeng.
A layer of green air barrier immediately appeared around Ye Limeng's body. This "Wind Guardian" was one of the skill stones that Hang Yu opened from the fortune treasure chest of Shansang City after the Scourge Army captured the ancient city of Shansang.
Its main effect is to apply an airflow-type shield to the target. The defense of this shield is not high, and it can only weaken some damage, but it can increase the movement speed and isolate damage such as poisonous gas and poisonous smoke.
There are many skills in the territory now.
Wind Guardian is not a very strong spell.
Because of this, there are not many warlock players who learn this spell. Xiao Ma Ge has only learned and mastered it, and has not practiced the skill to the full level. However, this skill is very effective when facing the Thousand Eyes Centipede.
Under the protection of Wind Guardian, Ye Limeng's movement speed has increased. Not only can it isolate poisonous gas, but it can also temporarily isolate fire, which greatly reduces the threat of poisonous fire. So he stood in front to attract attention.
"Hurry up!"
"Give Lao Wang and Xiao Zhou the protection of the upper wind!"
Although the Thousand-Eyed Centipede is powerful and has terrifying lethality, this elite Scourge Army is experienced, so they quickly cooperate and find the rhythm of the battle in a hurry.
"Roar!"
The Thousand-Eyed Centipede's huge body of 40 meters swam quickly, and huge pillars of fire continued to spray out. Four pairs of giant crocodiles pounced like guillotines and killed two more players.
-
0!
-
0!
-
0!
What puzzled the Scourge Army was that no matter what type of arrows or spells, none of them could hit the Thousand-Eyed Centipede, and all were bounced or diverted by some force.
After a few minutes.
Five or six players were killed.
The Thousand-Eyed Centipede is still full of blood!
"What's going on? We can't break the defense. How can we fight it?!"
The players knew that the Thousand-Eyed Centipede was very difficult to deal with, but they didn't expect it to be this difficult. They were the elites among the elites of the Scourge Army, but they couldn't pose any threat to the monster after attacking together for so long.
"Boss Ye!"
"The situation is not good!"
"Let's find a way to retreat!"
Although the Scourge Army is not afraid of death, they don't like death, especially meaningless death!
"No! This centipede is very fast! We can't outrun it in this desert. If we retreat rashly, there will only be more casualties!"
Ye Limeng was very calm and didn't order an evacuation immediately.
Could it be that with the strength of this team, they can't even deal with a wild monster in Wancheng? This centipede doesn't look like a big boss. It may just be a wild monster that has just reached the third-level elite!
Too unwilling!
Can't just give up like this!
Ye Limeng decided to strengthen the offensive and try again!
If the defense still cannot be broken, then take a group of people to stay and delay time, at least to cover the evacuation of some personnel to reduce losses.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Various arrows flew in!
Wind blades, explosive flames, ice runes, thunder runes!
Various magic attacks also attacked one after another!
-
0, -0, -0, -21, -0, -0...
A large number of ineffective attacks emerged with an effective damage.
I saw a warrior shoot a black crow feather arrow and hit the back of the Thousand Eyes Centipede.
This arrow was not bounced away by the mysterious defensive energy, nor was it blocked by the solid shell, but hit the gap between the two shells, causing damage to the Thousand Eyes Centipede.
"What's going on?"
"Why did this attack work!"
"Is there a loophole in the defense of this giant centipede!"
Other players were inspired by this. The damage caused by this attack was insignificant, but since it could cause damage, it meant that the Thousand-Eyed Centipede was not invulnerable, and its defense was not impeccable.
The Thousand-Eyed Centipede was stimulated and became more violent.
The hundreds of eyes on its abdomen flashed wildly, and the two huge centipede tentacles began to emit lightning, and then swung forward like a long whip, releasing one lightning strike after another.
When a player is hit by lightning.
He will fall into paralysis on the spot.
The Thousand-Eyed Centipede sprayed a ball of fire into the sky, which turned into a large number of green fireballs, falling continuously towards the players.
Although the attack intensity of the fireball rain is much weaker than the flame torrent, the attack coverage is larger and more difficult to defend. On the spot, several players were hit or poisoned by the scattered poisonous gas.
The 13th-level monk Glorious Days and other nurses quickly launched various treatment methods to rescue.
But the output ability of the Thousand-Eyed Centipede was too strong.
Four players fell in a short while.
If the mechanism of this monster cannot be figured out, this army will be annihilated!
"I don't believe it!" Niu Shisan raised his bow and roared and shot an arrow. As a result, the arrow hit the body of the Thousand-Eyed Centipede from behind. The powerful arrow shot through the solid shell and instantly caused 50 points of damage to the Thousand-Eyed Centipede!
"It works again!"
"What's the problem?"
Kuang Dao Lao Wang discovered through observation.
Both effective attacks were hit from the back.
A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and he rolled around to the blind spot, drew his bow and shot an arrow at the tail.
-
41!
Hit!
Kuang Dao Lao Wang immediately shouted: "I think I have figured it out. This monster cannot defend against sneak attacks. If we want to hurt it, we must attack it unexpectedly and where it can't see!"
So that's it!
The players suddenly realized!
The ugly eyes on the abdomen of the Thousand Eyes Centipede are not for decoration.
These eyes actually have a defensive function. They can resist attacks within the field of vision perception, so the attacks of the players are blocked. If the players can attack in the blind spot of vision, the defense mechanism of this monster will fail!
Want to hurt it!
You can only sneak attack!
The attack will be invalidated as long as it is seen!
Although the Thousand-Eyed Centipede has hundreds or thousands of eyes, these eyes are basically concentrated in front of it, and there must be a blind spot behind it, which is the effective attack area.
Ye Limeng immediately ordered his men to divide the work. Some players continued to feint from the front to attract attention, while other players followed the blind spot to attack.
-
25!
-
53!
-
86 (Critical Hit!)
-
47!
Spells and arrows finally succeeded in causing damage!
Although the damage is very low, it is enough to verify the players' conjecture that the ability mechanism of the Thousand-Eyed Centipede has been cracked, and it is not a monster that the Scourge Army cannot defeat!
"Hahaha!"
"Good job! Keep it up!"
"This monster is actually nothing to be afraid of!"
Although the Thousand-Eyed Centipede is of a high level, its mechanism and ability are not too complicated. Its main means of attack is bone-eroding poisonous fire, and it can also release lightning strikes for auxiliary attacks. As long as you master the rhythm, you can still deal with it.
Gu Zhou slid in front of the Thousand-Eyed Centipede.
The Thousand-Eyed Centipede was furious, and its four poisonous jaws were wrapped in lightning, like four huge guillotines.
"Ambush!" Gu Zhou suddenly disappeared from the spot and instantly appeared behind the Thousand-Eyed Centipede. This was the blind spot of the Thousand-Eyed Centipede, and it could not see the attack launched from this direction.
-
587 (Critical Hit!)
Gu Zhou stabbed the centipede's head with a sword, causing huge damage instantly, and at the same time tore a huge wound, and the curse effect of the Bloodstain Sword was activated, and the Thousand-Eyed Centipede entered a state of severe bleeding.
-
50!
-
50!
-
50!
The Thousand-Eyed Centipede twisted its body in pain and threw Gu Zhou away.
And the moment Gu Zhou left the centipede's body, he quickly sent out a white blade light, and cut off the two long whiskers with the Qi Gathering Slash, making it lose the ability to release lightning strikes!
"Well done!"
All the players were overjoyed!
The Crazy Blade King launched the Fierce Tiger Roaring Slash, and the burning blade energy turned into a fierce tiger. The eyes of the Thousand-Eyed Centipede lit up one after another. An invisible energy blocked the blade energy. With a bang, the blade energy dissipated, and a large amount of sand and dust were swept up, blocking the sight of the Thousand-Eyed Centipede.
Arrows flew in one after another.
They kept hitting the abdomen of the centipede monster.
Some of its eyes were destroyed on the spot.
It is not necessary to go around the blind spot of vision, but you can find a way to create obstacles to block the vision. Although the defense of the Thousand-Eyed Centipede is very powerful, as long as the attack comes from an invisible place, its defense ability cannot be effectively activated.
"Go to hell!"
Ye Limeng jumped up with the cover of sand and dust, raised the giant Thousand-Skull Demon Hammer with both hands, and his whole body was burning with flames. He fell like a meteor and hit the body of the Thousand-Eyed Centipede with a hammer.
Fierce Tiger Collapse Mountain Fall!
This is a new skill that Ye Limeng learned from NPC Zhou Cang these two days. It can strike the target from the sky and cause wide-range damage. When used with the Thousand Skulls Hammer, it is very powerful!
-
821 (Critical Hit!)
The body of the Thousand Eyes Centipede was hammered directly into the wasteland, and the ground around it within a dozen meters was cracked. A charred collapse appeared on the ground, and the Thousand Eyes Centipede also fell into a dizzy state!
Breaking the army charge! Charged attack! Shockwave!
Ye Limeng took advantage of the victory and used a series of skills in succession, knocking off thousands of health points of the Thousand Eyes Centipede in a few strokes, and put this powerful monster into a dying state on the spot!
Seeing this, other players rushed forward!
Various attacks fell on the monster one after another!
The Thousand Eyes Centipede could not withstand such a brutal siege, and finally fell down with an unwilling roar.
"We won!"
"Well done!"
"We killed a level 3 monster!"
The Scourge successfully hunted down the first Thousand-Eyed Centipede.
It took more than ten minutes, and a total of thirteen people died!
Although there were many losses, the morale of Ye Limeng's team was greatly boosted. The main reason for the high number of casualties this time was that they did not understand the combat mechanism of the Thousand Eyes Centipede at the beginning.
Now that we have figured out the ability of this monster, it is relatively easier to hunt it.
Pick up the loot dropped by the monster as soon as possible!
[You picked up the loot, Abyss Essence +25,000, Abyss Magic Stone +401, Thousand Eyes Centipede Meat +108, Thousand Eyes Centipede Poison Gland +110, Thousand Eyes Centipede Eyeball +88, Thousand Eyes Centipede Gem +5! ]
It is worthy of being a third-level monster!
Hang Yu was satisfied with the loot obtained by the players.
One monster has 25,000 essence, and this is just an elite wild monster!
More than 400 Abyss Magic Stones, equivalent to 40,000 Magic Stone Fragments, or 40 Abyss Magic Crystals!
This is already a lot!
But this is just the beginning!
The number of magic crystals and magic stones dropped by wild monsters is not much.
The real huge harvest is materials!
As a wild monster, the Thousand-Eyed Centipede does not drop equipment directly, but it can explode rich materials.
Centipede meat is a third-level white quality food, and the market price in the trading hall is about 1-2 magic crystals per portion!
Venom glands and eyeballs are third-level white inferior materials, which can be used to refine medicines or equipment, and the market price in the trading hall is about 2 magic crystals per portion.
Thousand-Eyed Centipede Gems are third-level green quality materials, which can be used to improve the quality of third-level green equipment. Although they are only green inferior quality improvement materials, the market price of each gem is at least 100 magic crystals.
In other words.
The Scourge Army hunts a Thousand-Eyed Centipede.
It can generate at least 1,000 magic crystals for the territory.
This is the income of the third-level elite wild monster. If the Scourge Army can steadily hunt this kind of monster, it will be enough to bring huge benefits and impetus to the development of the territory.
Although the level of the Wancheng map is too high.
But there are opportunities in danger, and the benefits are also very considerable.
Hang Yu also doesn't know how many third-level wild monsters are distributed in the Wancheng area.
From the perspective of territory development, the more such wild monsters there are, the better. They can not only create considerable income and high-value materials, but also will not gather together like human-shaped abyss creatures, be controlled by evil, and thus pose a systemic threat to the territory.
"Third-level materials!"
"A lot of third-level materials exploded!"
"There are actually third-level gems!"
"The Thousand-Eyed Centipede is indeed a third-level elite monster!"
"..."
Ye Limeng's team was obviously very satisfied with the monster's drops.
Crazy Knife Old Wang asked: "What should we do next?"
Ye Limeng said: "This place is very dangerous, but the benefits are also high. No matter what, let's continue exploring!"
"Agree!"
"The people from Shenyu Palace and Liberty Wings have returned empty-handed."
"If our War God Temple can get the information first, we will definitely get higher reputation and evaluation rewards!"
Other players nodded.
How can there be no deaths when opening up new maps and new dungeons?
Only after experiencing countless failures and deaths can you figure out the situation of new maps and new dungeons.
Although the monsters in the Wancheng map are very dangerous, the explosion rate of materials and supplies is also very amazing, enough to exchange for a large number of contribution points, and it is worth taking risks for them!
Ye Limeng and others continued to move forward.
Hoping to find a town or natives.
As a result, they encountered two thousand-eyed centipedes in less than an hour.
This kind of monster that is enough to become a regional big boss in the Woniu Mountain area is actually a wild monster that can be encountered frequently in the wild. With the experience of the previous time, it is much easier to kill it this time.
Having said that.
The third-level elite is not easy to mess with.
A total of six people died.
At this time, a dark red rocky canyon appeared in front.
The Thunder Eagle scout found that this canyon is the only passage out of this barren mountain within a radius of dozens of miles. Perhaps the probability of finding local native traces or town ruins on the opposite side of the canyon will increase.
Without hesitation.
More than 20 people entered the canyon.
As a result, they walked to the center of the canyon.
Something they didn't expect happened.
Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
There was a vibration from the surroundings.
Xiao Ma Ge: "Is it an earthquake?"
Gu Zhou suddenly shouted: "Be careful, there is a centipede!"
A huge and hideous Thousand Eyes Centipede emerged from a hole in the ground ahead.
Seeing this, Niu Shisan clenched the sword in his hand and laughed: "Hahaha, another resource gift package is coming!"
Killed three Thousand Eyes Centipedes in succession.
Everyone's fear of this kind of monster has been reduced a lot.
Now seeing another Thousand Eyes Centipede coming out, everyone is not afraid, but rather quite happy. They feel that even if they don't get any intelligence today, it's worth it to kill three or five Thousand Eyes Centipedes and go back!
Crazy Blade Old Wang: "Don't be careless, we have lost a lot of people, we must be careful!"
Before he finished speaking.
Another vibration came from behind.
"Fuck!"
"Not good!"
"There's another one behind!"
The players were shocked to find another Thousand Eyes Centipede coming out of the hole.
Two!
This is not good!
Thousand Eyes Centipede cannot be defeated from the front!
It can only be killed by sneak attack!
If two Thousand Eyes Centipede form a pincer attack, it will undoubtedly be more difficult for the Scourge Army. With the current twenty or so people, it is impossible to deal with two such third-level elite monsters at the same time!
"Withdraw!"
Ye Limeng gave the order decisively this time.
But what made the players feel desperate was.
They didn't have time to move, and amid more vibrations and hisses, the third, fourth, fifth... This canyon is full of caves and underground caves, and at this moment, Thousand Eyes Centipede are constantly emerging from these places.
At least a dozen or twenty!
This is just what appeared in the field of vision!
Who knows how many Thousand Eyes Centipedes there are under this canyon!
Ye Limeng cursed with an ugly face: "Fuck! We have broken into the centipede's nest!"
At this time, a more powerful breath came, which was much stronger than all the Thousand Eyes Centipedes on the scene, and was not inferior to the oppression brought by the big bosses such as Zhang Bao and Zhou Cang.
"There is a boss here!"
This canyon is the nest of the Thousand Eyes Centipedes, where at least dozens or hundreds of Thousand Eyes Centipedes live. With so many abyssal creatures gathered, there is a high probability that a leader or leader will appear as a pollution source.
As everyone knows.
As a pollution source.
Even a secondary pollution source is the source of the spread of the abyss nightmare. All the surrounding abyss creatures are within the range of the nightmare it spreads. The level and strength of an abyss creature in an abyss nightmare cannot exceed the source of the nightmare.
Thousand Eyes Centipedes are all third-level monsters!
This boss cannot be lower than the third level!
It is very likely to be a commander of the third level!
"Where is it?"
"Find it out!"
Ye Limeng and others knew they were doomed, but if they could find this suspected third-level Abyss Commander before they died, it would be a crucial piece of information for the territory!
Who would have thought!
At this moment!
An invisible spiritual energy and a sense of oppression enveloped them.
[You are affected by "Nightmare Whip", you receive 100 points of mental damage, and you fall into a dizzy state, which lasts for 10 seconds! ]
[……]
For a moment.
All the players on the scene lost consciousness.
At the same time, the Thousand Eyes Centipedes approached from all directions at the same time.
There was no suspense about the fate of more than 20 players surrounded by at least a dozen Thousand Eyes Centipedes.
[Player "Xiao Ma Ge" has died, Abyss Essence +6400...]
[Player "Gu Zhou" has died, Abyss Essence +8000...]
[Player "Kuang Dao Lao Wang" has died, Abyss Essence +8000...]
[...]
[Player "Ye Li Meng" has died, Abyss Essence +9800...]
The player team of the Scourge Army War God Temple Corps was annihilated!
"It's very difficult!"
Hang Yu frowned slightly when he saw this. The canyon that Ye Li Meng and his team found probably has at least a 21st level Abyss Commander. This level of existence is not to be taken lightly by players, let alone him.
What's more.
There are also a large number of third-level elite monsters on the scene!
It is almost impossible for players to pass this area with their current strength.
Although Hang Yu doesn't mind players going there a few more times, he doesn't want players to get stuck in such a place. After all, the top priority is to explore the information in the Wancheng area as soon as possible.
Can't just sit back and watch.
We have to think of a way.
Hang Yu thought about it and came up with two solutions.
First, maybe we should send out the Canglong Guards, or let Zhou Cang lead the players to open up the canyon.
Second, in fact, the territory borders Wancheng not only in the main city of Luoshui. Maybe it would be easier to go south from Baihu Mountain to Wancheng than to Luoshui.
