After walking through the mangroves for half an hour, everyone finally found the body of the giant scorpion.
Scorpions are not insects, but are more closely related to spiders.
This giant scorpion has the exact same shape as the scorpions in the Hess world. It is about five meters long. Its whole body is an extremely oppressive black and purple color, and it is covered with chitin armor.
In addition to its thick and long tail needle, its two pairs of giant claws are very developed. The two corpses of adventurers broken in half not far away are enough to prove its lethality.
At this time, there were dozens of scorpions of different sizes next to the giant scorpion's body. The largest one was as big as a cow, and the smaller ones were as big as a wolf.
These scorpions are devouring the corpse of the giant scorpion crazily.
Although the scene is bloody and horrific, it is a normal phenomenon.
Because scorpions are carnivorous, the meat and internal organs of the beast-king giant scorpion contain abundant energy, which is a great tonic for both humans and monsters.
In addition to this group of large scorpions, there are countless small scorpions, and even ordinary scorpions of normal size want to take advantage of the opportunity to get a piece of the pie.
The surviving members of the Sky Knight Adventure Group began to drive away the scorpions by spreading powder to drive away monsters and setting fires, hoping to recover the bodies of the members and the giant scorpions.
Rogge did not help, but stared thoughtfully at the cave behind the giant scorpion's body.
Unseen in the sky, there is a giant scorpion guarding it, and the Demon Summoning Pillar is most likely in the cave.
Doris came to Rogge, stared at the hole and said, "Captain Rogge, I can feel that the source of the filthy land is inside."
Since Doris felt something, then Orfina of the same level should also feel it. Rogge wanted to ask her for confirmation, but found that the girl had already walked near the giant scorpion's body.
She bent down and stretched out her two little hands to capture the scorpions from another world.
"...Nana, scorpions are not delicious."
"Oh, I didn't catch them for food, they were used to make potions. These are good things. Brother, help me catch the biggest ones!"
Rogge had to obey Ofina's order, so he could only warm up before entering the scorpion cave and capture a few large scorpions.
"Nana, can you feel there is something wrong inside the cave?" Rogge asked.
"Yes, just call...it's that pillar. Besides, where else could the pillar be if it weren't in the hole?"
"Then let's go in and take a look."
"Okay."
Doris left half of her people to guard outside the cave, led by the Martial King-level warrior. Rogge also left Filia, Roya Farah and Madeleine behind, and the rest entered the scorpion cave.
As soon as everyone entered, they were attacked by a group of scorpions.
The eyes of these scorpions are red, they are fierce and violent, they only attack but not defend.
The thick and long tail needle is extremely fierce, and every attack is like a soldier holding a powerful crossbow and firing it at close range.
However, this group of scorpions is not too strong. The strongest one has just reached the war regret level and does not pose much threat to everyone.
Rogge led the team forward and fired several flaming arrows forward, lighting up the path ahead.
A red-black pillar appeared in front of him. It was the Demon Summoning Pillar that Rogge was looking for.
There are two giant scorpions next to it, both more than three meters long.
There is a slight light at the top of the Demon Summoning Pillar. It seems that there is a small hole at the top. The scouts of the Sky Knight Adventure Group probably saw the Demon Summoning Pillar through the small hole.
Rogge shot the small scorpions blocking the road one by one, but the two giant scorpions did not move during this period.
This is the same as the Demon Summoning Pillar that once appeared in the Twilight Forest. The guardian monster will not move unless it is close enough.
Rogge is an archer, and the best target is when the enemy is stationary.
He drew his bow to charge up, activated charged shooting, and fired a penetrating arrow at the giant scorpion core!
The giant scorpion's shell is very hard, but with the power of illusion, Rogge's armor-piercing ability is even stronger.
He experimented with Canxing's scales, and as long as he shot them directly, he could penetrate the dragon scales.
The scales of the Spirit King-level Star Dragon are much harder than the shell of the giant scorpion, so the arrow seemed to encounter no obstacles as it penetrated the scorpion's shell and shattered the magic core.
The giant scorpion let out a sharp and short "scream" and fell to the ground, its two large claws hanging down softly.
The other giant scorpion felt threatened and rushed over immediately.
As soon as Doris chanted the spell, she saw a dark blue spear flying out faster than Rogge's arrow!
"Boom!" The Nightmare Gun carried huge kinetic energy and penetrated the giant scorpion, flying it towards the Demon Summoning Pillar and nailing it to it.
However, throwing is not Matilda's strong point, and the Nightmare Gun failed to hit the vital point of the giant scorpion.
"Yah! Yah!" The giant scorpion roared, its eight legs and a pair of pincers dancing wildly in the air, looking both horrifying and miserable.
After Doris finished singing, a ray of light shot out!
"Tsk!" The radiant ray was extremely lethal to the giant scorpion with dark attributes. The shell of the giant scorpion melted quickly, and a hole was soon burned out.
Doris moved the beam slowly and cut the giant scorpion in half.
Rogge added another arrow and killed it completely.
Everyone approached the Demon Summoning Pillar with vigilance and checked the surroundings. No more magical beasts were present.
Matilda pulled out the Nightmare Spear from the Demon Summoning Pillar, and her Dragon-Slaying Throw only penetrated the Demon Summoning Pillar less than thirty centimeters.
The Demon Summoning Pillar is really hard.
Doris looked at the Demon Summoning Pillar and murmured: "What on earth is this? Why is it so evil?"
"Captain Doris knows its function?" Rogge asked.
Doris shook her head, "I don't know, but I can feel that it exudes the temptation to corrupt people all the time! Yes, these abnormal scorpions must be influenced by this evil pillar!"
Rogge had to admire the acumen of this light mage.
"Captain Rogge, do you know something? What is this pillar?"
"I know, but I can't say it." There is no need to disclose things about strange demons to others. It is obviously not necessary now.
"Captain Rogge..."
Rogge interrupted Doris's question with a wave of his hand, looked into her eyes and said: "Captain Doris, you don't need to ask. I can only tell you that the creation of these monsters is indeed because of this pillar, and this There is definitely more than one pillar in the barrier space."
"There's more than one... No wonder we encountered so many violent monsters. No, I must destroy all these pillars!"
"Then there's Captain Raudolis."
"Are you interested? Your team is so strong, why don't you participate?" Doris asked doubtfully.
"We will continue to move forward, and we will destroy the pillars we encounter along the way, but we will not carefully explore the entire plateau area."
"Go forward...are you going to that giant tree?"
"Yes."
"What's there?"
"You'll have to go and find out."
Doris was a smart person. Seeing that Rogge wouldn't let go, she wisely stopped asking any more questions.
Matilda used all her strength and shot the Demon Summoning Pillar three times before destroying it.
After confirmation by Ophina and Doris, the Demon Summoning Pillar completely lost its effect, and everyone returned.
As soon as she came out of the cave, Filia looked towards Rogge, and Rogge nodded to her, indicating that everything was normal.
The matter between the Sky Knight Adventure Group and the Demon Summoning Pillar is over, and everyone plans to immediately explore near the giant tree in the pit.
But before leaving, I have to talk to Doris.
Rogge found Doris. Doris still politely gave Rogge a greeting that seemed to be from their church, and took the initiative to say: "Is Captain Rogge about to set off?"
"Yes."
"I wish you all the best."
Doris stretched out her hand and released a flash of light.
The light point slowly rotated in the air and approached Rogge, attaching to him.
Rogge only felt that his strength, agility, sensory acuity, energy and magic recovery speed had all improved, and he looked at Doris in surprise.
"Create your own magic, divine blessing." Doris explained.
"I share the gift of the God of Light with you. As long as I don't encounter an emergency, the magic bonus will not be lifted."
"The divine blessing can only last one person?"
Doris smiled and said: "Yes, Captain Rogge is really smart."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
"In return, I will give you a suggestion."
"There must be powerful monsters guarding the evil pillar, and as time goes by, the number of violent monsters will increase."
"With your number and strength, you are not enough to find and destroy all the summoning pillars in a short time, so it is best to go back to the canyon and call more people."
Rogge took out an arrow and handed it to Doris, "Melifa, the 'Lightfall' from the Cursed Eye Adventure Group, Shida, the 'Blade of Thorns' from the Green Leaf and Red Flower Adventure Group, and Ves from the Organ Adventure Group are all with me. There is a cooperative relationship, and the wide-area curse on them was lifted by Nana."
"Take this arrow and go to them. They should help you."
"Okay." Doris put away the arrow.
"In addition, there are other adventure groups in the canyon. It's best to negotiate with them. After all, only when the rear is stable can we move more efficiently on the plateau. Captain Doris' ability will definitely be able to handle it, so I won't say more. .”
"knew."
"One last point, we have wiped out all the people in the enchantment of the Mad Wolf Adventure Group, but according to them, there will be others coming in later, led by Charm Wolf, Dire Wolf and their leader Blood Wolf." Great wind
"I have a piece of news for you. The Mad Wolf Adventure Group has some connection with this evil pillar. You must be careful. If you meet, assess the opponent's strength and do not act rashly."
"Crazy Wolf Adventure Group? Hehe, Captain Rogge may not know that. Our Holy Glory and the Wild Wolf Adventure Group are incompatible. You don't need to tell us that we will pay special attention to them." Doris said coldly.
"You guys are no match for their three leaders, so be careful."
"Thank you for your concern. It's just that the Holy Glory has strong men coming to support us. Maybe there's already a fight outside."
Seeing that Doris wasn't too worried about the Mad Wolf Adventure Group, Rogge didn't mention it anymore.
After spending time together, Doris is not a reckless person, and the Sun-level Divine Glory will not send a reckless person to be the commander of the vanguard.
It would be better if he didn't have to worry about it. This way, with Doris taking care of the rear issues, they could focus more on exploring the giant tree in the pit.
"That's it, Captain Doris, goodbye." Rogge imitated Doris's salute and returned the salute.
"Captain Rogge, if you encounter problems that cannot be solved at the front, please come back and discuss with Holy Glory. We are willing to help."
"Thank you, for sure."
"goodbye."
After communicating with Doris, Rogge left the sacred team.
There is only one thing left now, how to bring Winnie with us without leaving any trace?
If there is no other way, then you have to resort to violence.
Just as Rogge was thinking of a plan, the long-legged school girl An An and the members of the Sky Knight Adventure Group arrived.
"Senior Rogge, they are going back to the canyon to reorganize." An An put her hands on her chest, their fingers intertwined, and her embarrassment was written on her face.
"Them? Aren't you going back?"
"I...I want to explore forward with you!" An An plucked up the courage to say.
"Oh? There may be unknown dangers ahead, are you sure?"
An An immediately nodded and said loudly: "I'm sure! I'm not afraid of danger! If I really encounter an extremely dangerous situation, senior can just leave me behind! I will never hold back!"
Seeing Rogge communicating with the girl, Ofina ran over like a gust of wind, "Oh, An'an, we will definitely not leave you behind!"
An An was startled, "Senior, do you agree?"
"I agree, the tree in front is so big, it must be fun!" Ophina looked at Winnie and extended an invitation, "Winnie, can we go together?"
Winnie was silent for a while, then smiled slightly and said, "Okay."
