A Tie glanced at the data in front of him, and he breathed a sigh of relief. A faint smile rose involuntarily at the corner of his mouth: "The strength of this attribute does not seem to be as exaggerated as the cave spider. At least in my opinion, its threat level is lower."
Xu Lai also felt a sense of relief in his heart, although he knew that this did not mean complete safety: "However, the number of this creature is estimated to be not small. We must be extra careful and vigilant in the next action."
Before he finished speaking, the cave in front of him suddenly gushed out one after another of the thorn insects. The number was so large that it was surprising. There were as many as seventy or eighty of them, crowded together, like a black tide, instantly drowning their sight.
This scene made several people gasp. The air was filled with a tense atmosphere, as if even time was frozen at this moment.
"Uh... so many?" Jasmine's voice trembled slightly, revealing a trace of uneasiness and fear, as if facing an unpredictable disaster.
Carl involuntarily took a step back, his face showing some hesitation: "How about we take another route? This scene is too scary."
"Too late." Xu Lai looked solemn, quickly pulled the bowstring to its full length, his eyes locked on the dense swarm of insects in front of him, his heart was alarmed, as if he had a premonition of an upcoming battle.
The front-most thorn insect seemed to have sensed their presence, and made a piercing hiss, instantly triggering the reaction of the other thorn insects, turning their heads in groups to this side, like a sea of constantly wriggling insects, which was chilling.
"Prepare for battle." Xu Lai's voice was firm and decisive, and he secretly warned himself in his heart that he must not retreat.
"Be careful not to let them get close." A Tie's voice was low and powerful, like a strong pillar, supporting the morale of the team.
He held the giant sword across his chest, his eyes were like torches, and he said firmly: "Leave it to me and Xiao Hei to hold the front, you are responsible for long-range output, and you must not let these insects get close!"
Moli quickly unfolded the spell in her hand and began to cast a shield for A Tie and the demon lizard. The flickering light formed a solid barrier around them, which seemed to add a glimmer of hope to the upcoming battle. Carl stood steadily in the back row, his face tense, ready to respond to sudden situations at any time. Xu Lai and Ivan, one on the left and one on the right, tacitly aimed at the swarm of insects in front, silently reciting the rhythm of the battle in their hearts.
Almost at the same time, dozens of thorn insects swarmed in like a tide, and the spikes on their abdomens made a harsh buzzing friction sound, as if a ruthless judgment was about to come.
A Tie roared, as if to dispel the fear in his heart, rushed up, swung the giant sword out, and chopped down the front thorn insect, blood splashed, and instantly dyed the land in front of him red. A surge of courage ignited in his heart, as if at this moment, he was not only fighting against the swarm of insects, but also fighting against the fear in his heart.
The battle horn has been blown, and the air is filled with tension and excitement, as if every second is accelerating, and time has become extremely precious at this moment. A Tie's heartbeat was like thunder, and the hissing sound in his ears became clearer, as if reminding him that the battle was inevitable, and he must go all out to protect his companions.
The impact of the swarm of insects came like a tide, and A Tie felt an unprecedented pressure. The giant sword in his hand seemed to be his only support. His eyes were firm, and he silently said in his heart: "Never retreat, never let them hurt my friends!"
At this critical moment, a firm belief flashed in A Tie's heart. He knew that only by facing it head-on could he find hope of life in this life-and-death battle. The flame of battle burned in his heart, dispelling all fear and hesitation, allowing him to find a path to victory in this sea of insects.
The hissing of the insect swarm sounded like a war drum, and Ah Tie's heart was filled with blood, as if he had become the hero of this battle. His sword blade flashed coldly in the sun, like an invisible sharp blade, piercing the darkness and cutting through the fear.
"Come on!" He shouted in his heart, as if he wanted to turn all this into strength and courage to meet the upcoming challenge.
Then, suddenly, several more cunning and ferocious insects pounced on him like hungry beasts, filling the air with a tense and oppressive atmosphere.
The black-armored demon lizard, with a huge and mighty body, quickly swung its thick and powerful tail, like a black giant stick, and fiercely swept away the two thorn insects that rushed to it. The insect drew an arc in the air, accompanied by a muffled sound, and fell heavily to the ground, instantly losing its life.
At the same timeAt that time, a fiery ball of fire ignited in Carl's hand, and the flame danced in his hand, as if it was the embodiment of the burning fighting spirit in his heart. With a slight flick of his wrist, the ball of fire flew towards the insect swarm like a meteor, and then lightning condensed in his other hand, flashing with lightning, as if ready for the upcoming battle. The lightning struck the insect swarm, making a deafening roar, blowing away a few insects from time to time, accompanied by the twisting and struggling of the insects after being hit, which seemed extremely tragic.
However, the number of insects was too large, like an endless tide, pouring in continuously. Those insects that were blown into pieces, before their bodies fell to the ground, new insects quickly filled the vacant positions, as if there was some mysterious connection between them, tacitly carrying out endless attacks.
Jasmine's eyes were fixed on A Tie, her heart full of uneasiness and anxiety. She understood that A Tie needed her support and treatment in this battle. Her palms were slightly sweaty, and she held the healing staff tightly, ready to treat Ah Tie at any time. Even if it was a tiny force, she hoped to bring him a glimmer of life at this critical moment.
Xu Lai stood aside, and seeing the astonishing number of insects, he couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency in his heart. He knew that he must not take it lightly and must go all out. His hand held the bowstring steadily, and the speed of pulling the bow gradually increased, almost turning into a residual image, as if time had frozen for him at this moment.
The rain of arrows shot at the Jue Ci insect swarm like a downpour, and the arrows cut through the air, making a sharp sound of breaking the wind, with an extremely strong killing intent. Each arrow hit the target accurately. After being shot, the insects struggled a little painfully, but under Xu Lai's rain of arrows, their lives were swaying like candlelight, and they could be extinguished at any time. Despite this, the damage suffered by the insects seemed insignificant, with only more than ten points of damage floating up, as if mocking Xu Lai's efforts.
Even though the arrows added real damage and a little soul damage, the damage was not that great, as if the vitality of this endless tide of insects was tenacious and stubborn. But Xu Lai was not discouraged. He knew that he, who won by numbers, would gradually consume the lives of these insects with one arrow after another. In just a few breaths, with the continuous pouring of arrows, he finally solved the remaining blood insects one by one. Although the process was difficult, he also felt a sense of accomplishment.
At this time, the atmosphere of the battle became more and more tense, and the air was filled with a burning breath. The hissing of insects and the roar of thunder and lightning were intertwined, as if it was a symphony of battle. In this life-and-death contest, Carl, Jasmine and Xu Lai cooperated closely, and tacitly understood in their hearts that only by unity can they survive in this fierce battle. They all burned with a strong fighting spirit in their hearts, as if telling each other: no matter how difficult the front is, they will never retreat.
As the battle continued, the tail of the black-armored demon lizard was like a black lightning, constantly sweeping the surrounding insects, making a dull thumping sound. The insects seemed extremely fragile in the face of the powerful force and were knocked away one after another. Carl's fireballs and lightning were released alternately, like a gorgeous light and shadow show, illuminating the entire battlefield and reflecting his focused and determined face.
Jasmine paid close attention to A Tie's condition. Whenever he was attacked, her heart felt like it was torn apart, and she was so nervous that she could hardly breathe. Her fingers trembled slightly, but she never put down the healing staff. She knew that although her power was small, it might be a ray of hope for A Tie at a critical moment.
Xu Lai gradually found the rhythm while constantly drawing the bow and shooting arrows, and the tension in his heart slowly subsided as he released arrows one by one. His eyes became more and more determined, as if he saw the dawn of victory, and he secretly vowed in his heart to eliminate this group of insects in one fell swoop and never let them hurt the people around him again.
The battle continued, and the number of insects was still huge. However, as time went on, the frequency of the insects' attacks began to slow down, as if they also felt the strong pressure from the three people. At this moment, Jasmine suddenly felt uneasy. She keenly noticed that there seemed to be a particularly huge insect in the insect swarm slowly approaching, as if it was the commander of this battle.
The appearance of this giant insect made the atmosphere of the entire battlefield suddenly tense, as if foreshadowing that a greater challenge was coming. Jasmine's heart tightened, and she prayed secretly, hoping that they could face this more powerful enemy together and overcome the crisis before them.
Ivan's heart was filled with anxiety and urgency, and his eyes followed Xu Lai's arrows closely. The arrows that flew through seemed to draw lightning in front of his eyes, stimulating his fighting spirit. He bitHe clenched his teeth and vowed to follow closely, but his reason told him that he did not have the ability to do so. At this moment, his body seemed to be bound by an invisible force and he could not catch up as he wished.
In this desperate situation, Ivan could only focus all his attention on the moment of aiming. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and silently prayed in his heart to find the most critical target. Finally, his arrow cut through the air and accurately shot through the neck of the thorn insect. Blood sprayed out instantly, and along with the screams of the insect, a burst of pleasure surged in his heart. Then, he did not hesitate to add another arrow to ensure that the insect was completely killed, and a sense of accomplishment arose in his heart.
Under their fierce attack, the surrounding insects kept falling down, falling like autumn leaves. However, despite the sharp decline in the number of insects, many insects still took the opportunity to rush to the front of A Tie and the black-armored demon lizard. It seemed that they did not intend to retreat, but became more ferocious.
"Clear them quickly, don't get surrounded!" A Tie's voice was hoarse and rapid, as if he was shouting desperately. The giant sword was waving in his hand, and the sword light flashed, like an indestructible line of defense. Each of his attacks was full of power, but facing a large number of insects, it was still extremely difficult.
The black-armored demon lizard showed its powerful attack power. It opened its mouth and bit a stinging worm that tried to sneak attack, as if a giant beast was hunting, and then threw the worm hard against the wall of the cave with a muffled sound. However, the attack of the insect swarm did not weaken. More insects came like a tide. Several insects seized the opportunity and stabbed the demon lizard with their tail spikes, as if they were conducting a ruthless siege.
Although the scales of the black-armored demon lizard were as hard as iron, under such continuous attacks, its blood volume was also rapidly decreasing, and the blood was like a trickle, gradually soaking the ground. At this time, Xu Lai could not care too much. He could only do his best to squeeze his limit attack speed, shoot arrows frantically, and try to gain more living space for his companions.
"Why do these things seem to be endless!" Carl spit out flames and drank magic potions painfully, his face full of helplessness and anger. His voice was extremely harsh in this chaotic scene, as if shouting at fate.
Jasmine silently gritted her teeth, her heart full of anxiety and urgency, and continued to add blood to her teammates. Her fingers quickly wandered on the staff, and she prayed in her heart, hoping to buy them more time.
Xu Lai's fingers were numb when shooting arrows, and the consumption of physical strength made him feel extremely tired. If he continued to fight like this, he would soon have to fight with a dagger or fist. He couldn't help but feel anxious, and he was eager to find a chance to breathe.
"A Tie, hold on!" Xu Lai shouted to A Tie, with a hint of uneasiness in his voice.
Ah Tie responded loudly: "I can't stand it any longer!" His voice was full of helplessness and fatigue, as if at this moment, his physical strength had reached its limit.
"Damn, these bugs are really hard to deal with." Xu Lai cursed inwardly, his heart full of disgust for bugs. He distributed the extra arrows in his hand to Ivan: "Use them sparingly." This was his concern and hope for his companions. Although the situation was critical, he was still unwilling to give up.
After saying that, he raised the bow again, silently praying in his heart that he would turn all his anxiety and uneasiness into the power of arrows. Jasmine tried her best to add two treatments for Ah Tie and the magic lizard, and then shouted: "The blood volume of the magic lizard is almost at the bottom, and my treatment can't keep up with the speed of blood loss." There was a sense of urgency in her voice, as if reminding teammates that time was running out.
Xu Lai no longer hesitated, and an unyielding fighting spirit ignited in his heart. He began to output at full speed. The newly picked up arrows in the backpack kept flying out, cutting through the air, and heading straight for the swarm of insects. Each arrow carries his desire for survival and pursuit of victory.
With the help of Jasmine's blood, A Tie finally found a chance to catch his breath. He swung his sword and chopped down several insects that surrounded him. He breathed a sigh of relief, as if he saw the hope of survival. Afterwards, the black-armored demon lizard broke through with the help of Xu Lai's firepower and finally returned to the center of the team, like a brave war beast.
The remaining ten or so thorn insects surrounded the periphery. Seeing the team gathered together, they did not dare to rush up rashly. They continued to hiss there, as if they were planning the next move.
"It seems that they will not rush hard for the time being." Ivan shook his numb arms, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and whispered.
"Should we counterattack? Or should we rest for a while?" He hesitated a little, but deep in his heart he longed for the opportunity to counterattack.
A Tie panted and tried to calm himself"There are not many of them left, we can't let them go. Otherwise, if they gather again, we will be in more trouble." His words were firm, as if reminding his teammates that the battle was not over.
Xu Lai looked firm, aiming at the one in the middle of the swarm: "First kill the one that looks the biggest, probably the leader." His voice was decisive, as if injecting strength into the next action.
As soon as he finished speaking, he fired another burst of arrows, two arrows fired at the same time, hitting the carapace of the insect. Although the damage was not high, the added soul damage made the insect stiff instantly, as if at this moment, its life was ruthlessly strangled.
A Tie did not waste this rare opportunity, and without hesitation used the giant sword to push away the two insects in the middle, and then swept across, fiercely splitting the insect leader in two. Blood splattered, the swarm was instantly frightened, humming, turning around and starting to flee into the holes, as if avoiding the impending death.
Seeing the trouble finally solved, Jasmine suppressed her nausea and collected the fallen items: "Some insect shells and stingers exploded here, as well as dozens of copper coins." There was a sense of relief in her voice, as if she had put an end to this fierce battle.
Carl was looking at the shell of an insect on the side, with a trace of contemplation on his face: "This shell is quite hard, maybe I can take it to the city to make protective gear." There was a hint of expectation in his words, as if he was thinking about the possibilities of the future.
Xu Lai was secretly worried about whether the remaining insects would come back: "Let's sweep the spoils first, and then we'll move to another place." He whispered, looking around, fearing that there would be another accident.
"Although there are many monsters here, it is too dangerous. If it weren't for the tank of the black-armored demon lizard, we would have almost died here." There was a hint of emotion in his voice, as if he was recalling the life-and-death test he had just experienced.
A Tie nodded, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, his face full of fatigue: "To be honest, I would rather find scattered monsters in the wild than entangle with these social insects." There was a hint of helplessness and fatigue in his words, as if he was telling the hardship of the battle. "Look, Xiao Hei is almost lying down." He cast his eyes on the black-armored demon lizard, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
In this life-and-death battle, the teammates' hearts and wills have experienced a baptism, and the tacit understanding and trust between each other have also been sublimated in this ever-changing battle. Although the shadow of the battle still looms over them, in this moment of tranquility, the hope of starting again has ignited in their hearts.
I saw that the huge demon lizard covered with black shells moved its body twice with difficulty, and each movement was accompanied by a painful groan. A closer look showed that its body was covered with dense wounds, many of which were pierced by those sharp insect thorns.
Jasmine, who was standing by, frowned and sighed softly. She quickly waved the staff in her hand and cast the remaining healing spells on the black-armored demon lizard. With the flash of green light, the wounds on the black-armored demon lizard began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, but it would obviously take some time to fully recover.
On the other side, Xu Lai was bending over and picking up various items on the ground. After searching and sorting, he finally stood up, clapped his hands, and began to count the number of copper coins he had picked up. One, two... When the last copper coin was put into his pocket, he was surprised to find that there were more than seventy in total! Most of these copper coins were the spoils that fell randomly after they worked together to kill the group of thorn insects.
In addition to the copper coins, Xu Lai also accidentally found a bottle of potion emitting a faint blue light. He picked up the bottle and looked at it carefully for a while. There were a few small words engraved on the bottle: Restore potion. According to his previous experience, this bottle of magic potion should be able to restore 100 points of magic.
At this time, other team members also gathered around, looking at the magic potion in Xu Lai's hand, and began to discuss how to distribute this precious resource. After some discussion, everyone finally decided to give this bottle of magic potion to the mage Carl in the team. After all, for a mage, sufficient magic is crucial.
At this time, everyone was surprised to find that there was a piece of poisonous blood crystal on the ground that was flashing with a strange light! A closer look showed that this was a rare treasure dropped from the powerful insect leader! Just looking at its color and texture, it must be able to sell for a considerable price in the market. But unfortunately, this piece of poisonous blood crystal seems to be of no practical use to everyone for the time being. After discussion, it was finally decided that the careful and steady Xu Lai would keep it properly.
The battlefield after the fierce battle was in a mess, and everyone started to clean up the mess. However, after such a high-intensity fight, everyone felt extremely tired, as if their bodies were hollowed out.
This mysterious hall deep underground does hide a large number of terrible monsters. Although they have just successfully defeated them, if there is another fierce battle, I am afraid that no one present will have enough energy to deal with it. What's worse is that the black-armored demon lizard that fought bravely is seriously injured at the moment. If they continue to move forward rashly and take risks, if a powerful leader-level monster suddenly appears on the way, then everyone is likely to be wiped out and sent back to their hometown "for free" directly - that is, the so-called death return to the city.
Faced with such a serious situation, A Tie and Xu Lai quickly exchanged opinions and reached a consensus: the top priority is to retreat outside the cave as soon as possible, and then discuss whether to explore other areas of the forest or seize the opportunity to return to the novice village to replenish the necessary supplies and equipment after safety.
Having made up their minds, they did not dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly packed up their belongings and left along the way they came. Fortunately, the terrifying cave spider had died completely, and no new monster would suddenly jump out and launch a fierce attack on them.
