The people behind him gasped. Although they had seen these giant scorpions in the lake, there was only one. It took three of them to attack, and they fell into the lake halfway, so they didn't fight them for long.
Now, there are two of them every time I look up, and I don’t know how many more are hiding in the depths. If I kill two, two more will appear. It will be endless, and I will have to kill them all.
"The scorpions are embedded in the stone wall." Lu Cai stood at the front and had a clear view. Although the two scorpions were large, they were embedded in the stone wall in a staggered pattern, their claws and legs completely buried in the stone wall. Only their claws and a stinging tail were waving in the air.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They were embedded in the wall and their movements were restricted. If they were defeated, they would retreat and the big scorpion would not be able to hurt them.
"I'll deal with the one inside!" Lu Cai held the dagger in reverse, gave an instruction and rushed out.
The remaining three were utterly shocked. To deal with the one inside? They had to avoid the one in front first, right?
I stepped on the resin so fast that before one foot touched the ground, the other one flew out. It was like floating on water.
Though she was fast, the scorpion's reflexes were even more agile. Its thick tail slammed into her head, its stinger slicing across the stone wall, leaving deep scars.
Lu Cai leaped up, stepped on the long tail, and in an instant, leaped down again. The scorpion monster's claws clamped down, and Lu Cai landed just in time, the claws clanging on her head.
The resin splashed with yellow afterimages.
After missing the first strike, the claws rushed towards her again. In addition to the big guy chasing her closely, the scorpion monster inside also swung its tail and attacked Lu Cai.
"Wrap the vine around the scorpion's tail! Use the formation to hit its head!" Shi Rukui was at the end, but he rushed forward and went straight to the claws of the scorpion monster on the outside.
Zhao Yan and Yue Xiaoyan finally came to their senses. Lu Cai was being targeted by two scorpion monsters, and they had to attract the attention of the one outside.
A few more stones fell from the shattered wall, and several emerald green vines sprang out, wrapping around the scorpion's tail. A green magic circle was cast in the dim light from the cave ceiling above the scorpion, and a long whip snapped out, lashing directly at the scorpion monster's head.
The gray figure scurried into the attack range of the chelicerae and hammered the scorpion monster's left chelicerae with a long stick. The chelicerae twitched and the entire scorpion monster's movements came to a halt.
Shi Rukui took the opportunity to jump up and hit its other claw hard again.
Seeing that the outer scorpion monsters had attracted attention, Lu Cai focused on the inner one. She was used to the scorpion's attack sequence, which would definitely start with the scorpion's tail.
As expected, the scorpion's tail, with its stinger, came straight at her. Lu Cai prepared herself and leaned forward to avoid it. At the moment the scorpion's tail was about to rise, she placed her left hand on it and chopped it down with her right hand.
The dagger's blade sank into the scorpion's tail, and the monster shuddered. Seizing this opportunity, Lu Cai injected his supernatural powers into it, and then, using the force of the scorpion's tail to lift it up, he was lifted up.
She exerted force with her arms and turned over. The scorpion woke up from the pain and saw Lu Cai grabbing the scorpion's tail, so he slammed it against the stone walls on both sides.
Lu Cai seemed to have expected this. He stepped onto the stone wall with both feet, immediately released the scorpion's tail, turned to the side, avoided the scorpion's tail, and stabbed the dagger into the stone wall. He was half hanging on the stone wall.
Looking down, I saw the scorpion waving its claws and fangs, but its movements were a little messy, and it was obviously in pain.
She aimed at the scorpion's head, and the scorpion's tail swung again. Lu Cai quickly drew out her dagger and fell down, the scorpion's tail brushing over her head. She raised her hand to hook the scorpion's tail, swung it towards the scorpion's head, and then let go and fell -
The scorpion raised its claws, but couldn't reach the top of the head. It steadied its tail and stabbed towards Lu Cai.
Lu Cai remained unmoved. She erected a barrier behind her. When the scorpion's tail hit the barrier, she raised her dagger and stabbed the scorpion's head.
The scorpion's tail hit the barrier, and the wound caused by the dagger suddenly split open. The whole tail began to spasm. The scorpion's head was stabbed by the sharp object and also began to tremble. The supernatural energy that had been absorbed into the scorpion's body began to take effect.
Looking at the wound on the scorpion's head where mucus was oozing out, Lu Cai thought for a while and put a few more strands of red silk in.
She stepped on the insect's back, exerted force with her foot, and leaped off the giant scorpion, diving deeper into the passage. When her foot landed, there was no expected sound of resin splashing.
She stepped on solid ground.
The scorpion on the outside was almost dealt with, so Lu Cai didn't look at it any further. He lowered his head and carefully looked at the ground under his feet.
The light was too dim, so she squatted down, using her supernatural light to examine it carefully, her hand gently touching the flat ground beneath her feet. The scorpion inside, ruptured by the endlessly replicated data, broke into several pieces, and the remaining limbs fell to the wall.
Lu Cai only stared at his feet. This was actually a stone platform. Because the walkway was covered with resin and was almost level with the stone platform, and the two were similar in color, it did not attract attention.
The stone platform is still made of amber.
The two scorpions were motionless, and the three men carefully walked through the scorpion corpses and approached them.
"We don't have to wade through the resin?" Zhao Yan only dared to stand on the edge of the amber platform. He didn't climb up for fear of disturbing Lu Cai's thoughts.
Lu Cai stepped aside and said, "We may have broken into the courtyard—" She raised her head and looked deeper.
Several people climbed onto the stone platform one by one, took a few rests, and continued on their way. The passage curved slightly to one side, blocking the way ahead.
This time, they had only taken a few steps when they heard a noise. Lu Cai was in the front, running over first. After a few steps, he sensed something was wrong and quickly stopped. He raised his hand and extended a barrier, enveloping the people behind him.
Just as the barrier closed, a bolt of lightning struck straight down.
"It's Gu Xici!" Yue Xiaoyan recognized the lightning.
Lu Cai, of course, recognized the lightning and felt a deep disdain for it. Gu Xici's lightning was quite powerful, but he just loved to strike randomly. After accidentally injuring Lu Cai, he didn't know how to restrain himself and continued to hurt people everywhere.
There was a flash of lightning, and the barrier blocked it for a long time before the lightning slowly faded away.
As Lu Cai put away the barrier, he heard a commotion not far ahead. Several people rushed over and around the bend, only to find that the corridor had reached its end, leaving only an empty cave.
In the cave, there is a slightly arched slope, which is also made of amber.
Lu Cai raised her gaze and saw a large, snow-white scorpion curled up on the top of the hill. She paused, for the scorpion's back was covered with a thick mass of small, snow-white scorpions.
It wasn't the scorpion chasing them from the cave outside, but a newly born, delicate and fragile scorpion cub. Scorpion monsters outside would drop their cubs after attacking humans, but the cub on the scorpion's back was much smaller.
On one side of the hill, a group of white scorpions that were larger than the cubs on their backs surrounded the two people, and a transparent barrier separated the scorpions and the two people.
Although Qin Yu's telekinesis could act as a protective layer, it was ultimately mental power, not a protective one. Lu Cai's supernatural power inherently possessed protective capabilities, expanding outward to form a shield that could be used for both defense and attack.
The white scorpions discovered that there were outsiders, and a group of them changed direction and rushed towards Lu Cai.
Lu Cai raised her hand, and a barrier rose in front of her. Through the red barrier, she watched the white scorpions stumble towards her. Then, she turned her palm and made a "pushing" motion.
The barrier moved over, and the white scorpion also rushed over. Lu Cai took a step forward, but the way ahead was blocked by the scorpion, and his steps paused.
After adapting, she continued forward, and the barrier slowly moved. How could these few small scorpions possibly trip up Lu Cai?
The white scorpions seemed to find the people here more difficult to deal with, and they all surrounded them.
Seeing they were about the same distance, Lu Cai stopped. The barrier was densely packed with small white scorpions. She slowly withdrew her hand and took a half step back.
The three people following behind her also retreated with her. After taking a step back, they heard Lu Cai say, "Ready—"
The red barrier in front of him collapsed forward. Lu Cai immediately jumped over, stepped on the barrier, raised his fist and hit it hard. All the dense white scorpions were crushed to death under the barrier.
Shi Rukui jumped up first, holding a long stick and quickly flew out from her side, followed by Yue Xiaoyan and Zhao Yan who also rushed over to help.
Although most of the white scorpions were eliminated, there were still quite a few left.
All of a sudden, vines and emerald green flames sprang up, lightning flashed through the air, the transparent barrier melted away, and several white scorpions that could not distinguish between friend and foe turned around and rushed towards their own kind.
Lu Cai turned his gaze to the big scorpion on the hill. It lay there quietly, allowing people to break into its nest without moving a muscle.
This is not right—
Just as they were thinking about it, cracks began to appear at the bottom of the gentle slope, and everyone was shaken.
Lu Cai frowned, staring intently at the gentle slope, and saw the giant scorpion's body begin to rotate clockwise. The speed was so slow, so subtle that it was almost imperceptible.
The others hadn't noticed the giant scorpion turning yet. They just knew something had gone wrong over there. Before they had time to think about it, they saw Lu Cai rushing over quickly.
But there was a loud bang and a large piece of amber on the ground outside the gentle slope shattered and collapsed. Lu Cai stopped and looked up, only to see that there was only a cylinder left on the gentle slope, with a white scorpion coiled on the top of the cylinder, spinning faster and faster.
Estimating the distance between himself and the cylinder, he thought that if he used his supernatural powers and the dagger, there was still a chance that he could successfully jump over it.
"Lu Cai!" Zhao Yan shouted from behind, and a vine flew over her head from the left side.
Lu Cai turned around in surprise and saw Zhao Yan had collected all the vines except one, and was rushing towards the sinking cylinder.
After just one glance at Zhao Yan, she turned over and jumped onto the vine, then ran down quickly along the vine.
After Lu Cai ran away and the scorpions on top were cleaned up, Qin Yu also jumped onto the vines and ran down. Someone took the lead, and the others followed closely.
Yue Xiaoyan was just about to jump onto the vine when someone grabbed her collar from behind. She turned around and saw Shi Ruku.
"What's wrong?" Yue Xiaoyan still believed him, knowing that Shi Rukui would not do anything unreasonable at this time.
Shi Rukui pointed at Zhao Yan, who was controlling the vines on the side. "Zhao Yan must stay up there to provide support. Who will stay behind to look after him, you or me?"
Yue Xiaoyan thought about it and realized, yes, if the problem below was solved and they hadn’t left the copy yet, they would have to find a way out.
"You go down!" She consciously made way.
He has healing power and better skills than her, so it would be safer for him to go down.
"Then you two should be careful." Shi Rukui did not refute. He jumped onto the vines and chased after Gu Xici's back.
Watching the gray figure running away, Yue Xiaoyan meditated on the spot and quickly chanted a "blessing" tune. Although the person couldn't get down, the blessing could still be delivered.
