Shadow Covenant

Chapter 86 "Entering the Nest"

But they are different from the gem beetles that also grow minerals in the desert.

They are naturally the associated products with a very low probability when a large amount of minerals are formed, because in a sense they are the sowers of ore resources.

They can not only convert ordinary rocks into minerals, but also hatch rare minerals into the same kind.

It can be said that with them, there is no possibility of this mine being completely exhausted.

If it is left alone for hundreds of years, the walls of the abandoned mine in the old street will probably be covered with rhombohedral lenses of different shapes like mushrooms after the rain.

Woody turned around and communicated with gestures, calling Angelina who was staying in place.

Logically speaking, it is in the best long-term interest for Woody to retreat now without disturbing the group of crystalline worms and then completely seal the place.

Under the influence of the red comet wandering in the astral world, this world has long since lost its future.

Thirst and fish!

It is the most correct choice at this time!

"Angelina, can you perceive how many creatures are inside?"

Woody whispered as he melted his body into the shadows.

To be on the safe side, Woody still believed in Angelina's perception ability more. After all, the monk's breath to find the enemy is not just for bragging.

The reason why they choose to speak is because crystal worms, as psionic creatures, are extremely sensitive to teleportation. Unlike human beings, deliberately lowered voices are often more difficult for them to detect than psionics.

"...well... there's one on the left, two underground, and three inside..."

It took a while for the monk girl to tell Woody the location of the crystal worms captured by her breath.

"A total of eight... the innermost one has the breath of a shark lizard beast, and it should have stayed in it for a long time."

"Well, okay, then you wait here, if something wants to escape, you help me stop it."

After Woody wrote down the location, he told the monk girl that the seal on his left hand had already lit up.

——"Night Shelter."

After Woody finished, he leaned against the wall and gradually approached the crystal worms who were busy converting the ore. The sound of footsteps and breathing was completely covered by the stealth state.

Soon, a crystal worm that was busy like an ant holding a broken rock appeared not far from Woody.

Woody slightly controlled the distance.

"Ten meters...five meters..."

It is impossible to sneak attack the crystal worms, because the psionic energy around them is very sensitive, what Woody has to do is to attract them.

As the distance gradually approached, the scorpion-like crystalline worm quickly discovered this strange biped creature, immediately put down the broken rock in its hand, and attacked Woody like a hyena.

The blood memory of crystal worms is not afraid of humans.

Instead, they like to attack humans that appear underground, because most of them are miners, and miners will carry the rare ore they like to collect most.

However, in the face of the swiftly rushing crystal worm, Woody did not show the slightest panic on his face, and its speed was much slower than his own.

The only thing to be careful of is the jagged crystalline tail thorn of the crystal worm. Although it is not poisonous, it will inject mineral toxins that can condense with the flesh and blood. If it is not treated in time, the body will be destroyed. There will be ore crystals that condense into blocks. If you want to restore the reversal at that time, you can only smash the crystal stones and then use divine magic to regrow flesh and blood. The process is painful, long, and expensive...

The main thing is that he has to seize the opportunity and kill him with one blow.

Because only in this way can the loot be maximized. After all, if the crystal worm feels danger on your body, it will choose to directly explode the lens on its body, and he will not get anything at that time.

Naturally, Woody would not just watch his gemstones shatter into pieces of useless waste materials.

He came here to make money, not to be a prodigal.

One sideways avoided the pounce of the crystal worm, and the steel long sword blocked its extended tail stab, and then took advantage of the fact that one of the crystal worms was not paying attention, the other long-bladed dagger fiercely hit the crystal worm's tail. Cut off the junction of the body.

This ordinary flat cut exerted his greatest strength.

——"Swordsmanship·Heavy Slash!"

Click!

Accompanied by the sound of two heavy objects falling to the ground, the crystal worm split into two in an instant. What fell in front of Woody was the crystal tail that was no longer moving, while the one in the distance fell to the ground because the tail suddenly lost its balance. It's a crystal worm.

But it didn't have a chance to get up at all, and a cold light suddenly appeared in the darkness.

The tip of the long sword made of steel has already pierced the head where the core of the crystalline worm is located, which is where the psychic energy core of the crystalline worm controls the body.

A pair of crystalline worms were about to raise their hands to attack, but the pair of pincers that also had lenses also collapsed like a collapsed building at this moment.

A row of data also quietly appeared.

Harvest a meager 40 experience points.

Woody picked up the materials dropped by the crystal worms on the ground one after another, and after a little calculation, his face showed excitement.

The mineral material dropped from this crystal worm alone could bring him hundreds of gold coins.

He still treats the shark lizard as poor, and he would be satisfied if he could pick up some of the ore it had accumulated... Unexpectedly, the good things are yet to come.

After all, the once synonymous with shark lizard beast was tasteless.

Because they will eat everything they can, and all they can leave behind is a pile of residue.

Now it seems that it is completely a skeleton looking in the mirror-nonsense!
Just because they are poor doesn't mean that his shark lizard brother is poor.

Human beings are different, so the shark-lizard beast and the shark-lizard beast are naturally also different.

Resist the act of "curing" stereotypes!Start from me.

Woody silently thanked the shark lizard brother who had already been dragged to the warehouse and was about to tear it apart.

While continuing to follow the position guided by Angelina, he approached the active crystal worm.

But to be honest, it is unreasonable to bully the former monster with the memory of the past, or in the case of crushing attributes and body size.

……

Soon, Woody cleaned up the group of crystal worms one by one, leaving only the largest space in the cavity of the gourd, which was not explored.

"I didn't feel any living things inside."

Angelina looked at the corpse of the crystalline worm that fell on the ground after Woody's battle in amazement, and said softly at the same time.

"Well, this is where it eats, and this is where it usually rests. It really is a shark lizard."

After Woody pocketed the last special fluorite dropped from the crystal worm, he entered the largest cavity of this underground cave first, he sighed softly.

This gave Woody a sense of déjà vu for a moment as if he had walked into the bedroom of an otaku who died unexpectedly.

Even in dark vision, Woody can clearly feel the roundness and smoothness of the cave wall in front of him. The originally flat ground is full of stones of various sizes, and the stones also look oily and smooth in the dark. , which is a typical place where a shark lizard lives.

The stones on the ground that were still stained with dried mucus and the smooth walls were all caused by the fluid it secreted when it was excited.
