What she didn't expect was that the arrows could actually activate the Shadow Blade effect of Flowing Shadow. When the arrow hits the poison, a gray arrow will appear out of thin air in the next second and follow the trajectory of the first arrow to give the opponent a second blow. Moreover, the damage of the arrow is also calculated based on the attack power of the weapon. The penetration power of 7200 is enough to penetrate the hard shell of the poisonous insect. Of course, this is without encountering a stronger poisonous insect.

Although Artoris and Gawain's offensive caused some obstacles to the progress of the insect swarm behind them, the impact was not significant after all. Don't think that one or two second-level cultivators can stop the progress of a population.

Something unexpected happened quickly. A sandworm more than ten meters long quickly circled in front of the Wolf King from the ground. One broke out of the ground and bit out at Artolis and the others with its huge bloody mouth. The five-meter wide mouth was enough to swallow the two people and the wolf in front of them.

Shocked by the sandworm, the Wolf King subconsciously swung his body, changed direction, and escaped. But in doing so, Artoris and the two were thrown from their backs towards the sandworm's giant mouth full of fangs.

Seeing that the prey was flying towards it, the sandworm opened its mouth wider, waiting for Atoris and Gawain to feed it into its mouth. As the sandworm suddenly closed its huge mouth, "Bang!" the sandworm bit into the solid ice, and blood splattered from its mouth for a moment. Reacting quickly, the ice mist sprayed by the Wolf King condensed into solid ice in the mouth of the sandworm. When the sandworm bit the solid ice, the Wolf King had already brought out Artoris and the two who were in the mouth of the sandworm. Although affected by the master's strength, he fell to the second-level dark gold level, but as a purple gold powerhouse, his thinking, reaction and adaptability are not comparable to those of a mere sandworm. But just such a small episode completely ruined their retreat.

Artoris, who was so dizzy, climbed up in embarrassment, but before she could recover, she saw a huge centipede rushing toward her, waving its poisonous fangs. Artoris was startled and subconsciously moved her sword bow forward.

The centipede's sharp teeth landed directly on the sword-blade bow, and the strong bite force caused sparks to burst out from the surface of the sword-blade bow. Although the centipede's level was not higher than Artolis's, it was huge in size and its powerful impact directly knocked Artolis several meters away. After landing, he was quickly swallowed up by the subsequent insect wave.

Artoris felt as if she had hit a steel plate, and the bones in her body seemed to be falling apart. The pain was unbearable.

Countless insect legs were like sharp spears, constantly attacking Artoris who fell to the ground. Artoris, on the other hand, had to endure the pain and rely on constant rolling to avoid this "trampled" incident. But no one could escape such a dense attack without being injured in this situation. Being in the insect swarm, Artolis realized what it meant to struggle to the death.

After rolling like this for more than ten seconds, a thick sharp foot finally stabbed Artoris in the shoulder. "Ah——" Artolis couldn't help crying out in pain. Just when she thought she was certain to die, a violent explosion suddenly occurred around her.

Neurotoxin was injected into the wound. Artolis felt her body light up. The surroundings were filled with flames. The explosion continued, but Artolis could not hear the sounds around her clearly. It's as if what happens in this world has nothing to do with me. Artoris closed her eyes and waited for the God of Death to take her soul to where she should go. This feeling was wonderful...

"I was just poisoned by millipede. This poison is not fatal. I will wake up soon after taking the antidote."

Hearing the conversation in her ears, Artolis opened her eyes. If it weren't for the pain coming from her shoulders, Artolis would have suspected that she was dreaming. She is still alive!

Artoris noticed something strange around her, so she turned her head, and then she saw a strange scene. Touching the bandage on her shoulder, Artoris stared blankly at the three people beside her who were drinking and having fun. One of them is obviously Gawain, while the other two are middle-aged men.

One was wearing a silver armor and the other was wearing a brown robe. They sat around with Gawain drinking and talking. The three of them seemed like brothers who had known each other for many years. Their strange behavior made Artolis confused. What happened before this?

"Oh, you're awake!" The man in silver armor turned his face and smiled at Artoris, and then the three of them all set their eyes on Artoris...

Dawson Glick and Deken are members of the Sea Tiger City Adventurer's Guild. The former is the name of the two middle-aged men in front of him, Dawson in brown robe and Deken in silver armor; the latter is a member of the Phantom World. authoritative organization.

"Thank you very much for your help. My name is Artolis, Artolis Grandpup." Artolis thanked her sincerely.

Dawson nodded and accepted Artoris's thanks.

The man in silver armor, also known as Deken, handed a bottle of wine to Artolis. Looking at the half-drunk Gawain next to her, Artolis took the wine bottle and looked at the sloshing liquid in the lake, and couldn't help but be lost in thought.

As a member of the Adventurer's Guild, you can accept various tasks issued by the guild, and the tasks issued by the Adventurer's Guild are actually bounties. Missions do not come out of nowhere. For example, if a village is attacked by bandits, the guild will issue a mission to suppress the bandits. After completing the task, you can receive corresponding money or equivalent rewards in the guild.

Now, Dawson and Deken have accepted an A-level mission issued by the guild. At this point, Artoris understood that after she and Gawain encountered the insect wave. Perhaps Cangtian thought that the two of them should not die, so they happened to be discovered and rescued by Deken and others who were passing by. Recalling the explosion before coma, Artoris knew that it was the magic cast by Dawson.

"A-level mission, what is that?" Gawain was more concerned about this than Artoris who wanted to understand the current situation. Neither of them had heard of the Adventurer's Guild, but they knew of an organization that was somewhat similar to the Adventurer's Guild.

The mercenary group is a bounty organization in the human world. Unlike the church and knights, which have their own beliefs, the mercenary group is more precisely founded by a group of bounty hunters. Mercenaries, employers who want to kill people or hire bodyguards can all post tasks in the mercenary group.

It cannot be said that mercenaries are not all tasked with murdering people. They are not all cold-blooded. They also have their own moral bottom line. That's why the existence of the mercenary group was not targeted by the knights in the human world, so Artoris was not disgusted with the mercenary group.

But are mercenary groups and adventurers guilds really the same? It's just that the mercenary group they know has no such thing as mission level. After looking at the ages of Artoris and Gawain, Deken and Dawson did not doubt their identities. They just thought that they were novice cultivators who had just entered the mortal world, so they told them about the Adventurer's Guild. Those things.

But in fact, the two of them don't have to worry, because almost no one would think that two young people in their early twenties came from another world. They’ll think “No way, this is crazy!”
