Chapter 68: Destroy the Scorpion Nest
Lu Jiu and Chen Jufeng fought a few waves of wild monsters, then stopped and went directly to Pingjing Mountain through the teleportation channel.
The point where they came out was the one they had set up before in the woods next to Pingjing Mountain. The mountain was still the same barren mountain, but the autumn had come and the grass had turned yellow.
It was quiet here, just like the last time they came. Lu Jiu looked around suspiciously.
"Did the scorpion really refresh?" she couldn't help but ask.
Shen Jufeng just looked around the surroundings and said, "Go over there and take a look."
The two walked towards Pingjing Mountain. Just as they reached the hillside, they heard the sound of rocks rolling down. Lu Jiu saw a dark object out of the corner of his eye.
I turned around and found that it was a black scorpion!
But this time there are not just one black scorpion, but four. Wild monsters have indeed been refreshed here, but there are more of them.
"Look closely, there's only one special one, and it's a different level than last time."
Lu Jiu checked the wild monster information and found that it was indeed different.
【Black Scorpion】(Brown Iron Level)
Qi and blood: 2000
Attack: 88-180
Defense: 128
In other words, these are Brown Iron-level wild monsters and are not BOSSes.
"Damn, I thought we'd have a great harvest." Lu Jiu cursed inwardly.
Among the four, a black scorpion is particularly conspicuous. The main body of its shell is still black, but its two front claws have a hint of gold.
[Mutated Black Scorpion] (Brown Iron Mutation Level)
Qi and blood: 5000
Attack: 199-336
Defense: 135
Agility: 56
Effect: The mutant black scorpion's stinger is highly toxic. If it stings a target, there is a chance that it will trigger a negative poisoning state, with -6 HP per second for 5 minutes.
The blood loss duration is 2 minutes longer than that of the previous Black Scorpion BOSS, and the amount of blood lost is also a little higher.
Shen Jufeng immediately made a decision, "I don't know when it refreshed, let's solve it now."
Lu Jiu nodded, they could win anyway.
This time, the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not use powerful equipment. Instead, they fought with weapons made from the materials dropped by the Black Scorpion.
The mutated black scorpion did not move, but instead directed the other scorpions to attack the two men.
Fortunately, these three brown iron-level black scorpions are much smaller than the last BOSS. Shen Jufeng equipped himself with his own bracelet wings, and these three black scorpions are more difficult to deal with.
Lu Jiu directly equipped herself with wings to deal with the mutant black scorpion. She would not hit it unless it stayed behind her and did not move.
Shen Jufeng took the initiative, flew to a certain height and then landed vertically on the back of a scorpion, piercing the opponent's eyes with hissing sword, causing the scorpion to roar.
Lu Jiu flew high up and aimed at the eye on the back of the mutant black scorpion, which was its weak point.
However, the mutated black scorpion was indeed a mutated one, and it moved quickly to dodge the arrows. Unfortunately, Lu Jiu had the skill of "hit the target instantly", which gave it a 100% chance of success, and the target could not dodge.
The arrow didn't hit the mutant black scorpion's eyes, but it still made the other party very angry.
This scorpion was no smaller than the previous black scorpion BOSS. It determined the opponent's position based on the movement of Lu Jiu's wings flapping and directly attacked Lu Jiu with its tail stinger.
Lu Jiu had the magician's agility and equipment to help him dodge the attack.
"Fuck, I have to shoot you in the eye today."
Several arrows were fired in succession, and one of them hit the mutant black scorpion's eye before it could dodge. Then it roared, and its tail stinger stabbed faster and harder in the air.
Because the mutant black scorpion's attack intensified, Lu Jiu was busy dodging it and had no chance to shoot arrows again.
In this situation, she was a little anxious. She looked for an opportunity to draw the bowstring and aim at it, but she saw the tail sting at the edge of her vision and quickly retracted the arrow to avoid it.
Although he was not stabbed, the tail whipped his back like a whip, and Lu Jiu almost fell from the air. In the end, he managed to keep his balance and concentrate on avoiding the black scorpion's tail.
Shen Jufeng had already killed two black scorpions, and he felt that he was able to deal with the Brown Iron level monsters.
The last black scorpion had only half health left and was swinging its stinger to hit Shen Jufeng. He simply flipped in mid-air and chopped off the tip of its stinger when he turned around.
It is no problem for bronze-level weapons to kill brown-iron-level monsters.
Without its stinger, Shen Jufeng landed on the scorpion's back and stabbed its eyes several times in a row. The last black scorpion turned into a point of light and disappeared.
While Lu Jiu was still dodging the mutated black scorpion's stinger, Shen Jufeng had already arrived and slashed at the stinger with his sword.
"when--"
The long sword collided with the tail spike, causing the surrounding air to vibrate, and the sound entered Lu Jiu's ears.
She also took the opportunity to aim at the mutant black scorpion's eyes and shot it out. The arrow hit her desired target directly and cleanly.
“Hiss—”
The mutated black scorpion raised its tail again to knock Shen Jufeng away, and focused on dealing with Lu Jiu. When the tail stinger came, Lu Jiu increased his flying altitude, stepped on the black scorpion's tail and turned over hard.
As she flipped, she took out an arrow and put it on the bowstring, focusing all her attention on its eyes and then released it.
Regardless of whether the arrow hits the eye or not, it immediately flies away to avoid being hit by the stinger.
Shen Jufeng took the opportunity to land on the back of the mutant black scorpion, ran to the tail and swung his sword to cut off the entire tail of the black scorpion, then took off into the air and stabbed it down with the force of vertical descent.
Mutated black scorpion, sudden!
Lu Jiu was soaked with sweat, and his hair at the temples was tangled into wisps. Seeing the wild monster being killed, he flapped his wings and landed beside Shen Jufeng.
"Oh my god, it's too tiring to deal with four scorpions. I'd better take it easy next time." She was almost stung by the tail several times in this battle. She was smart enough to avoid it, but she still got hit by the tail whip a few times.
Shen Jufeng was also breathing slightly at this time. Fortunately, he had wings this time, otherwise he really couldn't handle it.
"You've made a lot of progress. The mutant black scorpion was only a little bit of health left, so I went up and gave it one last blow."
It can be said that Lu Jiu dealt with this mutated black scorpion by himself. Even if he didn't go up, Lu Jiu would kill this wild monster by himself.
"It's good that you killed it. You get more rewards for killing wild monsters than I do." This is gained from experience. Shen Jufeng is really lucky.
The harvest was actually quite bountiful this time, with the following Brown Iron-level rewards: 6 Black Scorpion Pincers, 40 Black Scorpion Shells, 600kg of Black Scorpion Meat, and 4kg of Black Scorpion Venom Sacs...
That Brown Iron mutant monster allowed Shen Jufeng to harvest 2 front claws, 16 black scorpion shells, 220kg of black scorpion meat, 3kg of black scorpion venom sacs, and 1 black scorpion tail...
Among them, the rewards such as silver coins were divided equally, and the rest were divided almost equally. Lu Jiu gave the black scorpion tail to Shen Jufeng. If she killed it, she might not get the reward, and she couldn't use the tail.
"Let's go quickly. I wonder if the patrolmen are nearby." Shen Jufeng said as he looked around. They had been fighting for more than 20 minutes, but they hadn't seen anyone yet.
Lu Jiu was also on alert. He had heard those people say that they would send people to patrol, but he didn't know if those people had discovered the situation here.
The two figures disappeared from Pingjing Mountain. Only when they returned to the vicinity of their own city-state did Lu Jiu breathe a sigh of relief.
"I don't know if it was luck, but fortunately no one saw it." Otherwise, those people would know that they were the ones who stole the mutated BOSS last time.
Please forgive me for returning to the previous update rhythm!
