Chapter 960 Misfortune never comes singly (two chapters in one)
There is not a single cloud in the blue sky. The huge sun hangs high in the sky. The strong sunlight penetrates the air and scorches the ground.
The weather was already hot enough, but now because of the terrifying lava monsters wandering around, the temperature has increased further.
If no one stops these lava monsters, the devastated area will expand further.
“Whoops…”
There was a sound of breaking through the air, and a two-meter-high boulder was seen drawing a parabola in the air and hitting a lava monster.
"Roar?"
The lava monster heard the noise and slowly turned its head. In its view, the flying boulder was not something to be afraid of.
“Bang.”
The boulder hit the ground, creating a shallow pit.
But the lava monster was gone at this moment.
It turned out that at the critical moment, it quickly dodged to the side to avoid the sneak attack.
“This guy looks slow, but he is actually very agile!”
“I told you, you can’t hit it with a rock.”
“ How will you know if you don’t try?”
"It's all written in the book. If you read more, you'll know how to play."
"Did I say you two can stop arguing? That lava monster is rushing towards us..."< br>
A few people attacked the lava monster secretly, but failed to succeed. They encountered the lava monster's counterattack, and some of them fought with it in a hurry.
Scenes like this happened one after another in this area, with one team after another besieging the lone lava monster.
The originally slow-moving lava monster, after being attacked, showed a speed and power that made people look at it.
Facing the siege of humans, he resisted without any haste.
On the mountain in the distance, Lin Li was hiding behind a big tree and observing quietly. He raised his hand to touch his chin and muttered to himself.
"These people are not weak in strength. Although they can't do anything about the lava monster for the time being, as long as they persevere, they can kill the prey when it shows its flaws."
After a while, there was a person on the scene. Only the lava monster was killed.
After the lava monster died, its body cooled quickly and turned into an ordinary stone.
The few people who were besieging the lava monster looked at the dead lava monster with happy smiles on their faces.
A young man jumped on the lava monster's body, then waved the weapon in his hand and struck the lava monster's body that was exuding residual heat.
"Bang."
"Crash."
The corpse of the dead lava monster is just a pile of stones, which will break apart after a few hits.
Then the young man squatted down and searched among the rubble.
"What is he looking for?" Lin Li was full of doubts. He knew that the purpose of these people coming here to hunt the lava monster would be revealed soon.
“Have you found it?” the young man’s teammates asked.
“Found it.”
“Wow, so beautiful.”
After the dead lava monster was smashed into pieces, he searched for it and found a red gem the size of a pigeon egg.
This ruby has bright color and unique luster. If it is processed by a jeweler, it can be made into very beautiful jewelry.
However, for practitioners, using rubies obtained from lava monsters to make jewelry is a waste of resources.
The young man came to his teammates, spread his hands, and then injected some psychic energy into the ruby in his hand.
“Buzz…”
The ruby that absorbed psychic energy began to emit psychic energy fluctuations. It turned out that it was not only a beautiful ruby, but also a precious material used to make spiritual weapons.
"Hey...this is the first one. We have to find a way to get more today."
"Okay, don't waste time, let's quickly find the next lava monster. .”
“I remember. There is a lone lava monster in that direction, let’s go there quickly, don’t get snatched by others..."
A few people chatted for a few words with a smile, then put away the loot and quickly looked for the next one elsewhere. Huntable lava monster.
One after another, teams obtained rubies, and there was a burst of laughter.
Lin Li hid in the dark and took in all the scenes that happened on the battlefield.
Originally, he planned to leave and go hunting for exotic beasts elsewhere.
Now that he saw the people on the battlefield harvesting rubies, he immediately changed his mind.
…………
"It's been a long time since I came here, and I just hunted two lava monsters." A tall girl holding a spiritual sword looked at the two rubies in her hand and frowned.
"Liu Huimin, there are so many people here now, it's already good that we can hunt two lava monsters..." said a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
"Gao Qi, if we hunt less than ten lava monsters this time, I'm afraid we won't even be able to earn back the registration fee..." A tall and thin young man sighed.
"Wang Man, if you have any idea, just say it directly." Liu Huimin looked at the tall and thin young man and said.
"Uh..." Wang Man hesitated for a few seconds, and then said what he was thinking.
"That's what I thought. There is a small group of lava monsters over there. Let's attack them."
Gao Qi's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he immediately rejected the proposal.
“There are five lava monsters in the group you mentioned. It will take us a long time to deal with one of them, and five of them will die at the same time...”
Wang Manshu shrugged, "If you want to hunt as many lava monsters as possible, you can only "It's too dangerous to attack these lava monsters that gather together." It’s useless no matter how much money you have if you lose your life.”
Wang Man obviously valued money more and responded angrily.
“I borrowed money from friends to get enough for the registration fee. If I lose money on this trip, I won’t be able to explain it to them when I go back... And if I remember correctly, your registration It seems that Fei borrowed money from others?"
"This..." Gao Qi was speechless after hearing this, and didn't know how to respond for a while.
The people who came here to hunt lava monsters this time were all practitioners with civilian backgrounds. Most of them were short of money and could not afford the registration fee, so they found some friends and relatives to collect the money.
“It’s too dangerous, it’s better to be safe.” Gao Qi was still worried about an accident.
"Although the five lava monsters are difficult to deal with, they are not extremely dangerous.
As long as we are careful, even if we cannot defeat them, there is no problem in escaping..." Wang Man said confidently.
Liu Huimin saw her two companions arguing and quickly interrupted them. Then as the captain, she made a decision.
"Okay, stop arguing. Everyone knows what the situation is now, so just do as Wang Man said..."
Wang Man's face suddenly changed when he saw Liu Huimin making the decision. Smile.
Gao Qi looked confused on the side, but the captain had already made a decision, so he had no choice but to do it.
After all, the three of them had already mentioned this situation in advance before they decided to cooperate. In the event of any disagreement, the captain's decision would prevail.
……Five lava monsters got together and moved slowly along a small river.
The high temperature emitted by their bodies evaporates the river water, and the river water, which was originally one meter deep, is now less than half.
"Whoops..."
An arrow flew out of the grass not far away and shot at five lava monsters at an extremely fast speed, hitting the lava monster at the back.
"Roar..."
The lava monster that was hit was very angry and turned his head to look at the grass.
Wang Man jumped out and made some provocative moves.
The angry lava monster immediately broke away from the team and rushed towards Wang Man.
"This guy is faster than the lava monster he hunted before." Wang Man was startled when he saw the lava monster rushing towards him running very fast, and then quickly turned around and ran away.
When other lava monsters saw their companions chasing Wang Man, they did not follow to help, but continued to move along the river.
Running all the way, the lava monster chasing Wang Man kept shortening the distance.
“The distance is almost there.” Wang Man stopped and shouted to the woods not far away, “You can start now.”
The lava monster didn't have a high IQ. When he saw that the target was no longer running away, he didn't think much and jumped up and rushed forward.
"Be careful." In the woods, Liu Huimin saw the lava monster erupting in a ferocious attack. She reminded her companions loudly and threw a gray-brown stone in her hand forcefully.
Wang Man had always been wary of the lava monster. When he saw the lava monster jumping up and rushing towards him, he dodged aside as soon as possible.
The heat wave swept over me. Although I escaped the ferocious attack of the lava monster, my skin was burned by the heat wave, causing many small blisters. I grinned in pain.
The lava monster jumped into the air and made a big hole in the ground. When it stood up and prepared to chase Wang Man again, something flew towards it at an extremely fast speed.
"Bang."
The gray-brown stone thrown by Liu Huimin hit the lava monster's head. In the next second, the gray-brown stone was melted by the high temperature of the lava monster and turned into a pool of thick mucus.
"Roar...?"
The lava monster was stunned for a second at first, and then it roared in pain.
I saw that the mucus that the gray-brown stone turned into after melting was slowly corroding the lava monster's head.
"It's been hit, hurry up and do it." Liu Huimin ran out of the woods, shouting to Gao Qi who was ambushing in the other direction, while mobilizing the spiritual energy in her Dantian to infuse the weapons in her hands.
“Drink.” When Gao Qi heard the call, he jumped up from the grass after lying in wait for a long time, and then hit the lava monster on the head with a sledgehammer.
The head is the vital part of the lava monster. Once it is completely destroyed, it will die.
The lava monster that was attacked quickly raised his hands to block it in front of him, holding Gao Qi's big hammer hard.
“Bang.”
Although the big hammer is blessed with psychic powers, it is still not enough to break through the lava monster's defense.
A loud collision sounded, and the reaction force made Gao Qi almost lose his grip on the weapon.
The high temperature emitted by the lava monster is not something ordinary people can bear. Even if the defensive weapon activated by Gao Qi can block the high temperature, it is not a long-term solution. The battle must be resolved before the defensive weapon fails.
"Take another hammer from me." Gao Qi jumped up with his feet on the ground, his arm muscles bulged, his body leaned back slightly, and he swung the hammer violently to hit the lava monster again.
“Bang.”
This heavy blow was effective, knocking the lava monster directly to the ground.
"Roar..."
The lava monster was furious and was about to get up when rapid footsteps sounded beside him.
"Cross cut." Liu Huimin came to a position six or seven meters in front of the prey, stopped suddenly, then activated her supernatural power and waved the spiritual sword in her hand.
“Buzz.”
The spiritual weapon long sword infused with psychic energy, with the blessing of Liu Huimin's supernatural power, actually formed two crisscrossing golden sword lights when swung.
"Whoops..."
The crisscrossing golden sword light is extremely fast, and the distance between the two sides is very close, so the lava monster cannot avoid it when it finds it is in danger.
“Boom.”
The lava monster was hit hard by a fierce attack, and its head that was slowly corroded was blown away.
The head is the vital part of the lava monster, and the lava monster will definitely die now.
Staggering, the huge lava monster fell to the ground, and the spiritual energy fluctuations emitted from its body dissipated.
Immediately afterwards, its body cooled rapidly and turned into an ugly stone.
"It's done." Wang Man, who had just been burned by the heat wave emitted by the lava monster, was very happy.
"Are you okay?" Gao Qi asked concerned about the injured Wang Man.
"It's just some burns, nothing to worry about." Wang Man waved his hand, then took out a jar of burn ointment from his pocket and applied it to the burned area.
The three people were short of money and only had two spiritual weapons that could protect against high temperatures.
Liu Huimin and Gao Qi have to deal with the lava monster at close range, so spiritual weapons that can protect against high temperatures must be given to them for use.
The two people came to the dead lava monster. Liu Huimin had already found the ruby from the chest of the lava monster.
“My tactics are good, right?” Wang Man said proudly to his two companions.
"Yes." Liu Huimin, who looked happy, put the trophy into her pocket and nodded slightly.
Gao Qi on the side said worriedly, "You don't have a spiritual weapon to protect against high temperatures, so it is quite dangerous to lure the lava monster."
Wang Man said confidently, "Don't worry! Lava monster It's not that easy to kill me. The most you can do is get burned."
"..." Seeing his companion say this, Gao Qi sighed inwardly, thinking, and then take action as quickly as possible. , to ensure that no accidents occur to your companions.
"Now we have only obtained three rubies, we must hurry up." Liu Huimin looked up at the sun in the sky, and then said.
Then, the three of them returned the same way to find the other four lava monsters, preparing to follow the same pattern and kill the other four lava monsters one by one.
However, the development of things was surprising. Liu Huimin and the others had just walked more than a hundred meters forward when they saw four lava monsters charging towards them menacingly.
Wang Man exclaimed, "No, they rushed towards us together!"
Liu Huimin looked solemn, "How could this happen? Who angered them?"
Gao Qi guessed, "Maybe the lava monster we hunted just now attracted them. Let's run away quickly."
The three of them, Liu Huimin, had to set up an ambush to deal with a lava monster. Once they faced four furious lava monsters at the same time, they had no chance of winning.
Escape has become an inevitable option now, but in times of crisis, bad luck always follows.
"Roar..."
The roar of beasts was heard from other directions, and Liu Huimin and the other three, who were about to turn around and escape, found that several more lava monsters appeared behind them, forming a circle of encirclement, leaving them with no way out. Can escape.
“It’s over.” Wang Man said desperately.
"Damn it." Liu Huimin clenched the weapon in her hand, cold sweat broke out on her smooth forehead, and her eyes were full of unwillingness.
"I'll hold them back later, and you guys can find a chance to break out." Gao Qi said in a deep voice.
"Let's go together." Liu Huimin and Wang Man responded in unison.
