Chapter 78 Hunting
The thief discovered blood in the front intermittently. To Qin Lun and others' expectations, the blood actually extended along the stream to the dark hole upstream of the river.
The dark cave is flat and wide, with a height of less than two meters. The rock layer is almost black and covered the heads of Qin Lun and others, making everyone feel extremely depressed. The width is very wide. Except for the more than six meters of width occupied by the stream, several meters of pebbles were left on both sides.
Qin Lun was stepping on pebbles of all sizes while observing the stream at his feet. The water quality of this small underground river was clear, with no fish visible to the naked eye. There was no soil at the bottom of the river, but a layer of fine gravel was spread, and the kind of pebbles on the edge of the river beach were dotted sporadically.
The low and humid environment of the dark cave made everyone extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately, the dark cave is not too long. After about a few hundred meters, it is spacious in front of it. The rock formation above their heads has a big jump here, from less than two meters high to hundreds of meters.
The orange-yellow light of the two Tyr night lamps spread in front, illuminating a large space. A group of high and low rocks appeared in front of everyone. They are now in a relatively high position, and the front looks like a huge rocky beach.
"The blood here is starting to increase, but the direction is entering the rocky beach." The thief in front of him heard news. He paused for a moment and said hesitantly, "I don't feel very good here. There may be dangers inside the rocky beach."
"The monkey has a high perception. Since he said that the rocky beach is dangerous, it must be correct." Weiss thought for a while and suggested, "Or, let's wait for the dwarf exploration team here. The position is already so deep, and Gillim shouldn't drive us out again."
"No, we entered the dark area early, using the excuse of rescuing the trapped dwarves. If we stop moving forward without encountering any battle, we will inevitably be looked down upon by those dwarves. Even if we are not driven out, the dwarves will no longer rely on us, which is not conducive to the completion of the later mission." This time, Hill immediately rejected it without waiting for Qin Lun to speak.
Weiss thought about it, but no longer insisted on his own opinion, waiting for Qin Lun to make a decision. Hill said something reasonable, not that Weiss was wrong, the two of them had a different choice.
"There is indeed danger in the rocky beach, but I already know what it is!" Qin Lun took out a can of Queen Honey Juice, raised his head and drank it. The Yin-Yang fish pattern in his left eye flashed slightly, and he used the staring halo one after another, which put a heavy burden on his body.
Qin Lun feedbacked the images detected by the gazing halo on the team channel. In the rocky beach composed of almost all black and white lines, three groups of obvious ice-blue images appeared.
Weiss stared at the blue object for a while and finally frowned, "From the shape, it seems to be two terrifying claw beasts. This thing is a high-level creature, and there are not many biological nests nearby, so how could such a large predator appear!"
The dangers in the dark areas are difficult to detect, but they also follow the most basic ecological laws. The absence of small biological nests means that there is no sufficient food for high-level predators, and the environmental conditions here are obviously not suitable for the survival and reproduction of the terrifying claw beasts.
"We are not familiar with the dark area, so we don't have to think too much about why the terrifying claw beasts appeared here." Qin Lun said in a deep thought, "The problem now is, should we bypass this rocky beach area, or kill these terrifying claw beasts and continue to track blood. "
"It is impossible to go around. This rocky beach area is very large. Even if I can go around, I may not be able to find blood again." The monkey shook his head and said solemnly, "Since there are two terrifying claw beasts here, maybe the previous group of exploration teams have been wiped out, so the bodies are inside the rocky beach!"
"Impossible, I asked Lorraine about the general situation of the Dwarf Exploration Team." Qin Lun frowned and said, "Each group of exploration teams consists of about ten to fifteen dwarves. The captain is a middle-level and high-level strongman, and all the players can be regarded as elite templates for first-level apostles.
Most shield dwarves have the ability to protect the body stone skin. In addition, they are powerful and use heavy weapons, which happens to be the nemesis of the creatures such as the Dwarf Claw. Even if this team of dwarfs is weak and cannot deal with the two Dwarf Claw beasts, they will not only escape one person. Besides, I have seen the dwarf's injuries, which are not like the trick left by the Dwarf Claw beast."
The most powerful attack weapon of the Death Claw Beast is the two forelimbs in front of them, which look like giant sickles. In addition to the broken arm, the real fatal injury was the depression on the chest. This was obviously not the injury caused by the Death Claw Beast.
"Since you can't get around, then start fighting!" After figuring out what was inside the rocky beach, Weiss was no longer worried and said with a smile.
The Death Claw Beast is a high-level wild creature with a strong sense of territory. There are two Death Claw Beasts entrenched in the rocky beach, so there should be no other underground monsters here except them.
For Weiss, the Terror Claw Beast without humanoid wisdom is not difficult to deal with. Even without Qin Lun and others, he could slowly kill these two Terror Claw Beasts.
"We three deal with one, you deal with one, right?" Qin Lun smiled and assigned the order of the battle. Weiss shrugged and said there was no problem.
In fact, this is the most reasonable allocation of personnel. As a high-level apostle, Weiss is more than enough to deal with a terrifying claw beast.
Although Qin Lun has three people, Hill is a priest and will not directly fight monsters. Not to mention the strength of the thief, the terror claw beast is wearing a heavy shell, just in time to restrain the agile profession. Although Qin Lun has a demon transformation, he will not expose his trump card so quickly and can only use ranged attacks.
Therefore, if the three of them don’t use the ultimate move and together they will deal with the Terrifying Clawed Beast, they may not be as powerful as Weiss alone.
After making up their minds, the four of them quickly crossed the underground stream and walked towards the rocky beach. However, when they reached the rocky beach, they did not see the terrifying claw beasts rushing out to meet the enemy, which made the few people feel a little strange.
The terrifying claw beast has poor eyesight and is basically a blind person, but his hearing is very developed. He can hear movements dozens of kilometers away when he lies on the ground.
Although they were a little confused, the four of them still did not change their original plan. If the two teams wanted to completely eliminate their concerns and prevent them from being betrayed by each other, the best way was to show their strength to each other. The two terrifying clawed beasts in front of them are the best prey, which is also one of the reasons why Weiss and Qin Lun agreed to fight.
They quickly approached the core of the rock beach, but there was a special situation. The bloodstains left by the dwarf began to turn a corner from here and actually bypassed the area of the terrifying claw beast. This shows that Qin Lun's previous guess was correct. The dwarf had never fought with these two terrifying claw beasts.
"These two terrifying claw beasts should have come here temporarily, otherwise they would have blocked the exploration team's route and would have been cleared by Gillim long ago." Qin Lun whispered on the team channel, and the others agreed, but they still didn't understand why the dwarf could bypass the terrifying claw beast at such a close distance without being discovered.
As the few people approached, the two terrifying clawed beasts began to react, made warning hissings, and rushed towards them. Until this time, Qin Lun and others finally discovered why the two terrifying clawed beasts ignored them before and would let the dwarf pass through the territory.
It turned out that after their huge bodies moved away, more than ten basketball-sized gray eggs appeared on the spot, looking like stone piers in a rocky beach. These two terrifying clawed beasts are a pair of male and female. They came here temporarily, obviously to hatch offspring.
If Qin Lun and others hadn't been too close, they would have had the opportunity to bypass the Terror Clawed Beast. However, now that things have come to this point, Qin Lun and his men certainly would not avoid the battle. They had planned to use this battle to show their strength to each other.
"Cyborus!" Qin Lun pressed his right hand in the air while taking out the light and dark funeral.
A six-pointed star summoning magic array instantly appeared between the two terrifying clawed beasts, isolating them. A huge monster in the magic array excitedly raised two hideous and terrifying dog heads, and the red magma dripped down the fangs to the ground.
"Bang!" Understanding Qin Lun's meaning, the Hellfire Demon Dog that appeared out of thin air suddenly hit a slightly smaller terrifying claw beast on the left, and directly staggered it, and distanced it from the one on the right.
The terror claw beast is also called the terror claw monster. It is an underground creature with a very strange shape. Its head is like a bird's head, with a sharp bird's beak as sharp as a hook, and a thick shell like a tortoise shell on its back. Its abdomen has gray-brown scales. The two hind limbs are a bit like the eagle's claws, but the forelimbs are like the fins of a turtle, but they are sharper than a sickle.
The overall image is like a turtle with a bird's head and eagle's claws, or a bird monster with a tortoise shell on its back and degenerates its wings. However, this creature is huge, with a male of more than three meters tall and a body length of more than five meters, and it moves like a tank.
The terrifying claw beast, who was hit by Cyborus, was so angry that it roared, and then got entangled with the Hellfire Demon Dog.
Cyborus has now grown to the seventh level, a rare high-level summoned beast, with a size larger than the terrifying claw beast, and looks like a building from a distance.
The movements between the two monsters were so earth-shaking that even the ground trembled slightly, which made Qin Lun and the other two unable to get involved.
Although these two giants are high-level creatures, in total, the Hellfire Demon Dog is stronger. They have high defense abilities. Their Clawed Beast's movements are more agile, and the sickle-like forelimbs are very powerful. Each attack can tear a wound on the Hellfire Demon Dog's body.
However, for demon creatures with strong recovery, this attack only hurts but does not hurt. It has no other effect except for making Cyborus grin in pain. Instead, the torn wound of the Hellfire Demon Dog often burns the Terror Claw Beast.
You should know that the body of the Hellfire Demon Dog is a veritable mixture of magma. Even if the shell of the Terrifying Claw Beast is hard and thick, it is inevitable that the high-temperature magma will be splashed and burned the internal tissue.
