A digger poked its head out of the soil, blinking its small eyes and looking at Ryan and his party who were walking by about a few hundred meters away. It was originally sleeping on the third floor of the mist cave, but was picked up by a person passing by here. Awakened by a strong coercion, he was then attracted by the huge smell of blood that seeped into the depths of the soil and drilled out of the ground. With the nature of this ground-burrowing insect, he naturally wanted to rush up and fight the monsters that rashly broke into his territory. , but it looked at the various trophies carried by Ryan and his party with some confusion, and instinctively chose to wait and see for the time being.
It’s no wonder that this legendary pinnacle-level digging insect dare not attack Ryan and the others. Not to mention that the coercion emanating from Ryan’s body has already made it feel uncomfortable, just because of the various monster limbs carried by the dark elf maids , have already kept this ground-burrowing insect away: the four-armed demon ape's extremely strong head, the sharpest pair of incisors of a mature purple insect... and the natural enemy of the ground-burrowing insect, the most colorful tail feathers of the Hester Giant Eagle. , these were originally the most important parts of domain-level monsters, but now they have been cut off and carried on the backs of these strange creatures that walk on two legs.
As the name suggests, the Four-Armed Demon Ape has four limbs. It is extremely fast and very agile. Whether it is jumping, sneak attack or close combat, it is similar to the profession of Sword Master. However, the Four-armed Demon Ape is more terrifying than the Sword Master. Although it does not wear heavy and solid armor, its heads and bones are far harder than ordinary armor. In particular, the skull of the four-armed demon ape is unusually strong. Although the helmet made of it is It is rough and ugly, but its defensive performance is comparable to that of an enchantment master of the same level.
A mature purple insect is usually several meters long, and its body is covered with poisonous stingers. During a battle, its whole body will curl up into a ring and roll towards the target at high speed. Once it is collided with the body of the purple insect, it must withstand the poisonous stings. Those toxins that seal the throat when seeing blood are not the most terrifying attack methods of purple insects. Its pair of incisors are extremely sharp and can easily penetrate the hard carapace of other monsters. Combined with the venom contained in the teeth, they can be used immediately. It will kill the prey, so tasks such as hunting mature purple insects have always been a nightmare for major mercenary groups in other worlds.
The Hester Giant Eagle can spread its wings for more than thirty meters, and it flies extremely fast. You can often see the Hester Eagle making flying movements, but in the blink of an eye, there is only a tiny thing left in your field of vision. Visible black spots, with this outstanding talent, even if the Hester Giant Eagle does not have any other advantages, it is enough to make this creature a natural enemy of other warcraft that live on the ground and cannot fly, because you don’t know when There will be a Hester giant eagle falling from the sky to hunt him, just like no matter how powerful the magician is, he will worry about the shadow dancer hiding in the shadows and peeping at him.
There are so many powerful domain monsters, any one of them that appears in front of this little digger is enough to cause an instant kill to the latter. Even if both sides have the same strength, the digger has no confidence that it can defeat Four Arms. The devil ape and the mature purple insect are very lucky to be able to escape from their attacks, not to mention natural enemies like the Hester Giant Eagle. Although the ground digger is not an intelligent creature, after all It has survived for tens of thousands of years and luckily reached the peak of the legendary realm. Even relying on biological instincts, it is enough to make the choice that is most beneficial to itself.
Watching the blinking burrowing insect retract into the soil, and its breath quickly disappearing into the depths of the earth, it has been using its "magic eye" to lock on the burrowing insect spying on itself a few hundred meters away. The wormy Ryan smiled slightly. Since that guy didn't come to provoke him, there was no need for Ryan to waste time on extraneous matters. Although this method of advancing in a big way attracted many powerful monsters at the beginning, it was accompanied by those dark elf maids. The loot they carried was gradually being fought over, and fewer and fewer monsters dared to jump out to block Ryan's progress. The vast majority of them were peeping from a distance like the ground-burrowing insect, noticing these creatures that had intruded into their territory. After realizing that they are not someone they can provoke, these monsters will quickly retreat and never show up again, as if they did not sense anyone intruding into their territory.
The dark elf maids who were walking with various trophies on their backs naturally did not notice the retreat of the legendary pinnacle-level earthworms. Although they were all carrying them on their shoulders, they were all in high spirits and excited. After entering the third level, they had experienced various events. All the depression and grievances were swept away because of the trophies on their bodies. Although they were not the ones hunting these powerful monsters, being able to do something for powerful people like Matron Herest and Ryan was enough for the dark elf maids. feel happy,
From time to time during the next journey, some overestimating monsters would come out of their lairs in an attempt to hunt Ryan and his group of coveted prey. However, these self-righteous hunters soon discovered that they were the prey in this hunting game. , died tragically in the hands of Ryan, Faras and Boyardinas. The loot carried by the dark elf maids naturally increased. A dozen of them actually managed to survive, and several warriors from the profession The maid even had to carry two pieces of loot before she could distribute it.
After traveling for another five or six days, Ryan and the others have penetrated almost a thousand kilometers into the third level of the misty cave. This is the limit that can be achieved at walking speed. After all, Ryan and his party are not on an outing. They can go there at any time. You may encounter powerful monsters hunting and foraging anywhere. No matter how many deterrent methods are used, it is still impossible to completely eliminate the survival instinct of the large number of non-intelligent monsters in the third layer. Of course, these battles are not useless. Not only have the Ryans become more proficient in understanding space magic techniques, but even Boyardinas, who has calmed down, feels that her fighting style has changed a lot compared to when she had the artifact "Ball of Nothingness". At least she has He has learned to arrange the rhythm of battle according to the existing mana reserves, and will not bombard him with the most powerful magic without restraint from the beginning.
Although such changes have increased the time of each battle by Boyadinas by more than one-third, Boyadinas feels that her mastery of various techniques has improved significantly. This discovery made this dark The strong person in the Elf field was ecstatic. She believed that as long as she persistently reduced her dependence on the artifact of the Ball of Nothingness and passed through this period of transformation, the opportunity to greatly improve her strength again would probably be right in front of her. At this time, Boyardinas regretted that she had not thought about these details clearly when she first entered the Lost Peak, otherwise she would not have wasted such a good opportunity at that time, but now that she has figured it out, she will not be able to think about these details clearly. It's too late, Boyardinas just hopes that the next journey can be extended as much as possible, so that she can get through the bottleneck period as soon as possible and develop a new fighting style again.
It's a pity that reality and ideals always run counter to each other. The more Boyardinas hopes to fight more, the more monsters they will encounter as they continue on this road. Half a month after Ryan and the others entered the third level After that, the powerful monsters she encountered every day were not enough for Boyardinas to use alone. Even if she snatched the right to attack the Lanes, she still had a feeling that she was still unsatisfied. She wished she could find more from the surrounding rocks, soil or woods. Several legendary peak or domain-level monsters jumped out for her to challenge.
A few days later, even Boyardinas's wish turned into a luxury. Although legendary level monsters could still be seen from time to time on the road, even the existence of the legendary peak level became very rare. Such monsters were very important to It was useless to hone Boyardinas' fighting style, and it was not worth fighting at all, so Boyadinas had to let go of these little guys who ran away as soon as they saw her and others approaching, and passed by again. A few days later, Boyardinas discovered that even the legendary monsters along the way had become extremely rare. In such an environment, not to mention her, even the dark elf maids could go there very easily. This The discovery made Boyardinas, who had been very disappointed, suddenly become alert, because she could clearly feel that the magical energy around her not only did not become thinner, but became denser, so much so that Boyardinas felt like swimming in the sea. feeling in
If the density of magic energy in the air begins to weaken significantly, it can also be used to explain the lack of powerful monsters along the way. However, as the density of magic energy increases, theoretically there should be more realm monsters born. However, In fact, it is a completely opposite situation to this theory. Various fields and even legendary monsters actually regard the location of Ryan and the others as a restricted area and dare not set foot in it. All this can only show that the direction in which Ryan and the others are traveling is far away. There is a more powerful monster. This monster is so powerful that it can suppress the entire third layer of monsters without relying on coercion or other means. The monsters dare not approach it.
Before Boyardinas could express her inner thoughts, her mother, Mother Herest, said: "Okay, everyone has been working hard along the way. That's it for today. Let's choose one. Camp somewhere and have a good rest." At this point, Matron Hester hesitated slightly and then added: "If there are no errors in my prediction spell, we are very close to the goal of this trip. If all goes well, this adventure should be over soon.”
