hunt and eat

Nia followed his instructions and saw that at the entrance of a cave that was sunken downwards, two stone pillars that looked like big teeth stood tall, and there were still several large iron arrows left on the outer rock wall. .

As a long-range hunter using a heavy crossbow, Nia recognized at first glance that those were the regular arrows used on the heavy crossbow.

Seems to be left over from cover shots from the previous hunters fleeing.

"Let's go, I hope to give us some surprises." Guta shrugged and walked out first.

Nia took off the heavy crossbow that had been wound in advance from her back, and held a dagger upside down on her left wrist.

After the battle with the Thunder Dog Dragon King, Nia has learned from her experience, and now she will prevent monsters from getting close at any time, so as not to be caught off guard at that time.

There was a constant whistling sound of wind in the cave, wrapped in a thick stench.

Guta and Nia frowned unconsciously.

Ordinary caves will only have a strong smell of the sea at most, but not a bad smell.

It seems that there is something rotten in it that makes it smell so bad.

Looking at each other, the two held the torches and started to go deeper.

……

After walking about ten meters inward, Guta and the others could only rely on the light source brought by the torch to see their surroundings clearly.

Although algae with dark blue light were faintly attached to the stone wall at the side, it was still not enough for them to distinguish the path under their feet.

The ground is not flat, the only thing to be thankful for is that there has never been any monster attack.

About thirty meters further in, the ancient pagoda suddenly slipped and rolled down a smooth rocky track.

"Guta!" Nia rushed to pull it, but it seemed that it was too late.

But soon, the voice of the ancient tower came from below.

"It's okay! Nia, jump off, there is a platform below."

Without hesitation, Nia held the frosty rose in her hand, and slid all the way down the ancient tower in the same posture as before.

The process of falling was not as long as expected, and Nia soon slid to the bottom of the cave.

Guta supported the girl with one hand, but his eyes kept looking at the surrounding environment.

This is a semi-open-air grotto connected to the sea, accompanied by the sound of thick and crisp tides, the sea breeze with a fishy smell directly hit the faces of the two of them.

"We probably went astray. It is impossible for normal monsters to pass through such a small hole."

Guta frowned and said.

"Then what to do? It's unlikely we'll make it back the way we came."

Nia turned around and looked at the steep and smooth rock tunnel behind her, feeling a little helpless.

"The eyewitness report said that the monster that attacked was a mutated sickle crab..." Guta's ears moved slightly, and his whole body suddenly turned to the sea level. "It seems that we hit the right target."

In the next second, the sea surface in front of them exploded instantly, and a huge limb reflecting blue-purple light cut through the sea surface, wrapped in the howling sea wind, and slashed heavily at Guta's body.

Almost at the same time, the black and red Taotie Taidao was unsheathed from behind the ancient pagoda, and headed up from the opposite direction.

The two sharp blades intersected in an instant, sputtering out dazzling sparks.

Even though there wasn't a big disadvantage in strength, he suffered a big loss in weight after all. Guta was almost knocked back by the opponent for more than ten meters.

Fortunately, before being knocked into the air, Guta, who didn't like to suffer, took advantage of the situation and gave the opponent a slash in the face.

Cut off one of the monster's horns directly.

Standing up slowly, Guta inadvertently glanced at the long and narrow trace in front of him.

It was the imprint he had slid on the beach.

"Like to use a knife?"

Gu Ta didn't retract the saber back into its sheath as usual, this time, he was uncharacteristically, and directly resisted the Taidao on his shoulder.

the reason is simple

The system gave a notification just now, telling him that [Bounce] has been upgraded to LV2.

Yes, just for the collision just now, his [Bounce] skill, which had not moved for several months, was upgraded.

"Bump?" Guta laughed.

In the next second, a violent jet of water shot straight at it.

Guta dodged sideways, and there was an explosion-like roar behind him.

Looking at the huge gap made by the water column behind him, he scratched his earlobe with some fear.

"This power is scary enough."

The other party has no plans to launch a second attack for the time being, and taking this opportunity, Guta finally saw the monster's whole picture clearly.

It was a huge blue scythe crab with hideous spikes all over its body.

Except for its body shape, it is different from ordinary scythe crabs. From the head to the front abdomen, it is covered by a huge dragon skull.

No, judging from the sickle crab's habits, this is more like the opponent's protective shell, or the source of strength.

He hadn't forgotten that monsters like scythe crabs could obtain special abilities from the corpses of other monsters.

"Nia!" Guta shouted, and then began to charge forward with the knife.

Continuous arrows began to shoot at the mutated sickle crabs that landed a little at a time.

This is the continuous shooting skill that Nia has recently mastered. By stirring and twisting the bowstring, she can shoot five crossbow arrows in sequence.

The price is that after a period of time, the bowstring will enter a soft fatigue state and cannot be shot again.

It can be said that it is a special skill specially designed to catch monsters by surprise.

The arrow with the special freezing effect of the frost rose penetrated deeply into the carapace of the mutated sickle crab, forming a continuous pattern of snow patterns.

This sickle crab's carapace doesn't seem to be as hard as it looks.

Because the weapon temporarily misfired, Nia had time to study the monster carefully.

Three seconds later, she recognized the source of the sickle crab's power.

"Guta, be careful! It has the skull of Zhanlong!"

Kill the dragon?

Guta rolled sideways, avoiding the hugging and grabbing of the mutated sickle crab's limbs, and quickly flipped through the relevant information in his mind.

Zhanlong, a powerful animal dragon species in the upper ecological position, its wide and long tail like a blade is so powerful that it can easily smash the ground, making countless hunters who specialize in slashing daunting.

The scythe crab that has acquired part of the power and traits of Zhanlong, its ability is no surprise, it should be——

In the next second, the mutated scythe crab's long, sickle-like claws slashed straight out with a roundabout slash.

The ancient tower, which was unable to dodge, was directly chopped off by the powerful impact!

……

Chapter 47 连携技—轮斩

Guta's body fell to the sea in a state of embarrassment, splashing large white waves.

Seeing the mutated scythe crab dive deeply, the huge spikes breaking through the waves began to approach him rapidly.

"It's crazy how fast a crab can swim in the sea!"

Guta grumbled depressingly, and pressed his hands directly on the blade of the Taidao.

Within a few seconds, with the rapid expansion of a black shadow under him, the mutated scythe crab broke through the waves directly from under Guta.

The ferocious and terrifying mouthparts bit fiercely at the ancient tower, which had nowhere to hide.

"It's hard work for you to bring your weakness to your door."

Even in a desperate situation, the ancient tower does not seem to have the slightest fear.

The thick black air flow quickly spread from the wrist to the entire sword.

"Gluttony!"

In the next second, he gripped the Taidao tightly with both hands and pierced it straight down.

Accompanied by the silent wail of the mutated sickle crab, the Taotie Taidao pierced the sharp fangs of the opponent's mouth and pierced deeply into its mouth.

The gluttony gas, which has a strong defense-breaking and corrosive effect, poured in like a school of sharks smelling blood, and began to devour the flesh and blood of the opponent's body in an instant.

As long as the monster's defense is bypassed, the gluttony energy mastered by the ancient tower is the natural enemy of all flesh and blood creatures.

Of course, the premise is that there is no other special power in the opponent's body that can suppress or even restrain Qi.

After severely injuring the opponent, Guta did not launch any further attacks, but just swam towards the land pretending to be invincible.

Although his acting skills are really bad, but the mutant sickle crab is not human after all, so he didn't see through all this.

The mutated sickle crab, which was inexplicably injured, roared and chased behind Guta under the control of anger.

One after the other, Guta rushed to the beach with the mutated sickle crab.

"Finally let you go ashore..."

After landing on the shore, Guta walked a few steps in, quietly watching the mutated sickle crab that had just landed, and started to turn its back on him.

It's not that the other party wants to escape, it's better to say that it's actually the opposite.

In the next second, a huge water cannon shot from the back of the mutated scythe crab.

Facing the enemy with its back, this is a necessary action before the scythe crab fires the water cannon.

Although Guta was a little puzzled about how the opponent aimed at the enemy in this situation.

This totally goes against common sense.

But right now doesn't seem to be the time to think so much.

Leaning over and squatting, Guta effortlessly dodged the water cannon that swept over his head.

The water cannon this time seems to be more powerful than the first time, almost plowing a long deep pit that can be called a ditch on the tidal flat behind the ancient pagoda.

Seeing that his ultimate move had no effect, the mutated scythe crab was panting, and its two exposed compound eyes began to rotate rapidly.

Want to run away?How can that be done!

Guta grabbed a handful of gravel and threw it at the opponent.

The stone hit the mutated sickle crab's face, but it didn't have the slightest effect.

but……

It doesn't hurt much, but it's extremely insulting!

The bad-tempered mutant scythe crab roared, opened its claws, stood up, and began to crawl forward recklessly.

The posture is a bit like the collision of ordinary dragon species, which is the so-called "dragon chariot".

But since the other party is a sickle crab, let's temporarily name it the crab car.

The speed of the crab car was not fast, at least Guta easily dodged the opponent's impact.

The huge sickle-shaped forelimb made a big loop, twisted nearly 270°C, and slashed towards the ancient pagoda.

"Just in time!"

Guta, who had finally waited for the opponent to slash, almost couldn't wait to strike out.

I don't know if it was Guta's illusion, but when he blocked the opponent's attack this time, he seemed to feel a lot easier.

Perhaps it was because he was familiar with the slash of the mutated scythe crab, or maybe the rebound ability given by the system had been slightly improved.

All in all, Guta clearly felt that he was getting stronger.

Even for ancient pagodas, this is a different kind of novel experience.

Forcibly withstood the counter-shock force of the hedge, Guta stepped forward, and unpretentiously hit a step forward.

The Taotie Taidao's red and black blade slashed heavily on the mutant scythe crab's head, splashing a burst of blue-green blood.

As I said before, this mutated sickle crab doesn't seem to be surprising in terms of defense.

"Be careful, if you accidentally kill you, who will accompany me to practice rebounding later." Guta murmured softly, leaning his body to avoid the opponent's side claw attack.
