[Evaluation]: One of the evolved forms of the venomous centipede, its toxicity has been greatly enhanced, making it an extremely dangerous and ferocious supernatural creature.
Venomous Ink Centipede!
Upon seeing the information in the encyclopedia, Yun Che's heart sank.
In previous sampling sites, although we encountered wild extraordinary creatures, none of them were of a higher level than a high-level extraordinary creature.
This last sampling point not only encountered the entire water centipede swarm, but also the venomous ink centipede with the strength of a high-level lord!
Sure enough, once you leave the Jianghuai City area, you might encounter all sorts of extraordinary creatures.
And it wasn't just this one Venomous Ink Centipede; next to it were two other Venomous Water Centipedes of low-level lord strength.
"Sizzle—!!"
Then the Venomous Ink Centipede let out a long howl, and the surrounding Corrosive Water Centipedes stopped moving forward and stood up.
Upon seeing this, Lan Xiangya immediately shouted, "Waterspout!"
The wind demon salamander flapped its wings again, and a vortex carrying water swirled up, shooting out countless toxins, which were blocked by the swirling water.
In the blink of an eye, the water turned pitch black and emitted a pungent, fishy stench.
"Sizzle!!"
The Venomous Ink Centipede let out another long cry, its massive body moving swiftly forward, heading straight for the Wind Demon Salamander.
"Doctor, A-Che, you two should leave the encirclement first!" Lan Xiangya hurriedly said.
Dr. Niu and Yun Che exchanged a glance, and without hesitation, Dr. Niu pulled the reins, "Let's go!"
With them here, Lan Xiangya is being hindered in her efforts to protect them. It would be better for her to leave the encirclement first. Once Lan Xiangya has dealt with the three water centipede leaders, the remaining poisonous water centipedes will naturally disperse without their leader.
"Over here!"
The Silver-Eyed Sparrow flew off Dr. Bull's shoulder, shooting out several silver feathers to repel the Venomous Water Centipede and finding the weakest gap in the encirclement.
"Higher level of transcendence".
Yun Che glanced at Dr. Niu's Silver-Eyed Detective Sparrow, assessed its strength, and together with Dr. Niu, urged the Water Spinning Spider to quickly escape the encirclement.
really.
Dr. Niu is not entirely without fighting ability.
"We are the ones who need to protect ourselves the most..." Yun Che thought to himself with a self-deprecating smile.
"Ah Che, don't get lost!"
The fog in this valley is too thick. If there is no danger, it's fine, as we can reunite using the positioning devices. But if we get separated and run into trouble, it could be dangerous.
"Okay!" Yun Che knew what was important.
After a brief hesitation, Dr. Niu pulled something from inside his clothes and tossed it to Yun Che. "Catch!"
"grumble!"
Kongkong caught the thing that Dr. Niu threw at him with silk, and it landed in Yun Che's hand.
"This is?"
He looked at the palm-sized, exquisitely engraved short sword in his hand, with internal gears visible through the hollowed-out parts, and a look of doubt on his face.
Faintly, the power of Tokiwa could still be felt from this short sword, carrying a trace of life.
But it was clearly not a living thing, much less a supernatural being.
"Take this; it could save your life in a critical moment!"
In this situation, Dr. Niu couldn't provide a detailed explanation, he could only offer some advice.
To save one's life?
After a brief moment of surprise, Yun Che came to his senses.
Is this the doctor's trump card?
Right.
Dr. Niu's research requires frequent fieldwork.
However, he has a carefree personality and is not very good at fighting. Even if he could hire a "bodyguard", it would be impossible to protect him at all times. As in this case, they had to separate from Lan Xiangya.
Therefore, there must be some special life-saving measures provided by a "big shot".
"Doctor, what about you?" Yun Che quickly asked in return.
Don't give it to yourself, Dr. Niu suffers a setback.
Upon hearing this, the doctor smiled and patted his chest, saying nothing, but the meaning was self-evident.
But at that moment...
"Whoa!!" Iris suddenly cried out in surprise.
Upon hearing its sound, Yun Che and Dr. Niu simultaneously pulled on the reins.
From the mist, a massive black figure burst forth, crashing violently into their path.
When Yun Che saw that figure, his heart sank.
The fourth water centipede leader?!
boom!!
The impact knocked the two water centipedes over, sending Yun Che and Dr. Niu flying.
"grumble!"
Kongkong immediately spat out a thread, trying to find a place to pull on. In the end, she only found a rock by the river. With a strong pull, she dragged Yun Che towards the water.
"Ugh!"
Iris embraced Yun Che, and black mist surged out, mitigating the impact.
the other side.
"etc!"
Dr. Niu exclaimed in surprise, and his body immediately emitted a mechanical sound. Then, as the gears spun rapidly, purple beams of light appeared around his body, protecting him.
But it was also like a cage, confining him to the same place.
Upon seeing this, Dr. Niu gave a wry smile.
When the water centipede that attacked them missed its target, it immediately lashed out at Dr. Bull with its tail.
laugh--
But the moment its tail touched the pillar-like purple light that protected Dr. Bull in place, the tail immediately made a sound like water hitting a red-hot iron pillar, accompanied by a burning smell.
Dr. Niu and the beam of light remained completely still.
"Sizzle!!"
The water centipede seemed to have suffered a severe blow, struggling and writhing violently on the ground, stirring up large amounts of mud.
Their eyes, looking at Dr. Niu and those beams of light, were filled with terror and fear.
puff-
Yun Che fell into the water.
Before entering the water, he saw the commotion on Dr. Niu's side and was greatly surprised.
The Lord-level attack not only failed to shake the pillar of light in the slightest, but also injured itself.
This level of protection...
If the short sword in my hand were to trigger, wouldn't there be a chance that I could kill that water centipede in one move?
The moment the thought crossed his mind, water surged from all around, and Yun Che, who was about to swim, stopped in his tracks.
Then I saw it.
Underwater.
Two turtles, one large and one small, moved quietly, staring at him with two pairs of eyes, one large and one small.
Yun Che: "??"
Elder Turtle: "??"
Kongkong also fell into the water. Just as he was about to come over to save Yunche, he also saw this scene underwater.
Kongkong: "??"
"Sizzle—!!"
At this moment, because of the burning and pain in its tail, the venomous water centipede also burrowed into the water.
Poisonous Water Centipede: "??"
The water flow diluted the burning pain in the tail, but it also made the already irritable and venomous water centipede even more ferocious.
"Waaaaah!!"
Iris, who was biting Yun Che's collar and trying to pull him out of the water, didn't notice this scene.
However, its actions did bring Yun Che and Kong Kong out of their astonishment.
Yun Che immediately hugged Kong Kong and Iris.
Kongkong spit out a silk thread towards the shore, and with the pull of the thread, he pulled them out of the water.
boom!!
As soon as they left the water, a huge commotion erupted from the bottom, and the voice of Elder Turtle could be heard from the surging waves.
"Help! Help! Help—"
After a slight hesitation, Yun Che called out, "Kong Kong."
Snap—
The silk thread precisely adhered to the turtle elder's shell, pulling him from the swirling water to the shore.
The man and the turtle stared at each other for a second.
"Ugh!"
"grumble!"
Iris and Sora both gave a reminder.
Large swathes of water crashed toward the shore.
"Run!" Elder Turtle shouted immediately, displaying a speed completely unlike that of a tortoise, and ran in one direction.
Yun Che and Kong Kong didn't dare to hesitate and ran over after them.
slam-la-
The aftershocks of the water's impact soaked Yun Che's trouser legs.
To everyone's surprise, Elder Turtle was not only not nervous in this dangerous situation, but was actually delighted. While looking back at Yun Che, he shouted through telepathy:
"Good luck! Good luck! Good luck!"
What brings good fortune?
Thankfully, it didn't have the "吧" radical.
However, Yun Che quickly realized what was happening.
In the encyclopedia, Elder Turtle, as the Mystic Wood Crystal Horned Turtle, seems to possess a skill called "Turtle Divination," which grants him the ability to divine the future.
"This way! Come this way!" Elder Turtle called out as he ran.
In the fog, this guy seemed to have some kind of X-ray vision or navigation ability, managing to find his way even after many twists and turns.
But don't say it.
As you follow it, the number of venomous centipedes around you does indeed decrease, making you feel safer.
Lan Xiangya was strong enough to protect herself, not to mention Dr. Niu... Thinking of this, Yun Che felt relieved.
They decided to find a safe place to hide first, and once Lan Xiangya resolved the trouble, they would be safe.
Unbeknownst to them, they followed Elder Turtle deep into the valley and arrived at a small waterfall with a pool of water below, where mist continued to rise.
Elder Turtle suddenly stopped, panting heavily, then looked at Yun Che and muttered incoherently:
"Great fortune! Now, it's up to you, human. You must pass this elder's test!"
Yun Che was taken aback.
Leave it to me?
test?
What's going on?
Aren't we fleeing?
"Waaaaah!!"
At this moment, the iris lay on the edge of the pool, calling out to the water while its feathers bristled.
