Chapter 68: The Scorpion Nest

Lu Jiu and Shen Jufeng fought a few waves of wild monsters, then stopped and went directly to Pingjing Mountain through the teleportation channel.

The point where they came out was set up in the woods next to Pingjing Mountain. The mountain was still barren, but because it was autumn, the grass was all yellow.

It was quiet here, just like the last time they came, Lu Jiu looked around suspiciously.

“Did the scorpion refresh?” She couldn’t help asking such a question.

Shen Jufeng just looked around at the surrounding environment, “Go over there and take a look.”

The two of them walked towards Pingjing Mountain. As soon as they reached the hillside, they heard the sound of rocks rolling down. Lu Jiu saw a dark object from the corner of her eyes.

After turning around and looking, it turned out to be a black scorpion!

It was just, it was not one black scorpion this time, but four. The wild monsters have indeed been refreshed here, but there were a little more in number.

“Look carefully, it’s a special one, and the level is different from last time.”

Lu Jiu checked the wild monster information and found that it was different.

[Black Scorpion]

(brown iron level)

Vitality: 2000

Attack: 88-180

Defense: 128

So to say, these were brown iron-level wild monsters, not BOSS.

“Damn, I thought there was a big harvest.” Lu Jiu cursed secretly.

Among the four, there was a black scorpion that was particularly conspicuous. The main body of its shell was still black, but its two front claws have a touch of gold.

[Mutated Black Scorpion]

(Brown Iron Variation Level)

HP: 5000

Attack: 199-336

Defense: 135

Dexterity: 56

Effect: The mutant black scorpion’s tail sting is highly poisonous, and the stabbed target has a chance to trigger the poisoning negative state, -6 HP per second, lasting for 5 minutes.

Compared with the previous black scorpion boss, the HP loss lasted for 2 minutes longer, and the HP loss was also a little more.

Shen Jufeng immediately made a decision: “I don’t know when it was refreshed, let’s solve it now.”

Lu Jiu nodded, they could fight anyway.

This time, the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not use powerful equipment, but used weapons made from the materials dropped by the black scorpion to fight against each other.

The mutated black scorpion did not move but directed other scorpions to attack the two.

Fortunately, these three brown iron-level black scorpions were much smaller than the previous boss. Shen Jufeng is equipped with his bracelet wings. The three black scorpions were more difficult to deal with.

Lu Jiu also equipped her wings to deal with the mutated black scorpion. She wouldn’t be able to hit it if she doesn’t move behind it.

Shen Jufeng acted first, flew to a certain height, and then landed vertically on the back of a scorpion. His long sword went straight into the opponent’s eyes, causing the scorpion to hiss and roar.

Lu Jiu flew to a high place to aim at the eyes on the mutated black scorpion’s back, which was its weak point.

While dealing with the mutated black scorpion, it moved quickly and wanted to dodge the incoming arrows. Unfortunately, Lu Jiu could hit the target with a 100% hit, and the target could not dodge.

The arrow missed the mutated black scorpion’s eyes, but it also made the other party very angry.

This scorpion was no smaller than the previous black scorpion boss. It determines the opponent’s position based on the movement of Lu Jiu’s wings and directly attacks Lu Jiu with its tail thorn.

Lu Jiu has the magician’s own agility and equipment blessings, so she narrowly escaped.

“Fuck, I have to shoot you in the eye today.”

A few more consecutive arrows went down, and one of the mutated black scorpions missed the eye, and then it roared, and its tail stabbed faster and more fiercely in the air.

Because the mutant black scorpion’s attack strengthened, Lu Jiu was busy avoiding it and had no chance to shoot again.

In this situation, she was a little anxious, and looked for an opportunity to draw the bowstring to aim at it, but saw the tail thorn at the edge of the viewing angle and quickly retracted the arrow to avoid it.

Although she was not stabbed, the tail was whipped hard on her back like a whip, and Lu Jiu almost fell from the air and finally managed to stabilize the tail that was focused on avoiding the black scorpion.

Shen Jufeng has already killed two black scorpions, and he feels that he can deal with brown iron-level monsters fairly well.

The last black scorpion was only half alive and was swinging its tail to hit Shen Jufeng. He turned over in midair and cut off the tip of its tail sting when he turned around.

Bronze-level weapons were not a problem for attacking brown-iron-level wild monsters.

Without the tail sting, Shen Jufeng landed on the back of the scorpion and stabbed the eyes several times in a row, and the last black scorpion also turned into a spot of light and disappeared.

Lu Jiu was still hiding from the mutated black scorpion’s tail sting, but Shen Jufeng had already rushed to the long sword to slash at the tail sting.

*Bang*

The long sword collided with the tail thorn, causing the surrounding air to vibrate, and the sound entered Lu Jiu’s ears.

She also took the opportunity to aim at the mutated black scorpion’s eyes and shoot it out. This arrow directly hit the target she wanted.

“Hiss——”

The mutated black scorpion raised its tail again and sent Shen Jufeng flying, concentrating on dealing with Lu Jiu. When the tail stab came, Lu Jiu raised his flight altitude, stepped on the black scorpion’s tail, and turned over forcefully.

During the flip, she took out an arrow and put it on the bowstring, focused all her attention on its eyes, and shot.

It doesn’t matter if it hits the eye or not, it flies away immediately to avoid being hit by the tail stab.

Shen Jufeng took the opportunity to land on the back of the mutated black scorpion, ran to the tail, and swung his sword directly to cut off the entire tail of the black scorpion, then rose into the air and stabbed down with the force of vertical descent.

The mutated black scorpion died!

Lu Jiu was drenched with sweat, and her temple hair was matted into strands. Seeing that the wild monster was killed, she moved her wings and stopped beside Shen Jufeng.

“I’m dying. The four scorpions are too tiring to deal with, so take it easy next time.” In this battle, she was almost stabbed by the tail thorn several times, but she was smart enough to dodge it, and she still took a few tail whips.

Shen Jufeng was also panting slightly this time, fortunately, he has wings this time, otherwise, he would be unable to deal with it.

“You have made a lot of progress. That mutated black scorpion still had HP left, so I went up to make up the last bit.”

This mutated black scorpion can be said to be dealt with by Lu Jiu herself. Even if he doesn’t join in, Lu Jiu can kill this wild monster by herself.

“It’s good if you kill it. You can get more rewards for killing wild monsters than I am.” This was from experience, Shen Jufeng was lucky.

The harvest this time was very rich, and the brown iron level rewards include black scorpion front pincers*6, black scorpion shell*40 pieces, black scorpion meat*600KG, black scorpion venom*4KG, etc.

The brown iron mutated wild monster, let Shen Jufeng harvest front pincers*2, black scorpion shells*16, black scorpion meat*220KG, black scorpion poison sac*3KG, black scorpion tail*1, etc.

Among them, silver coins and other rewards were divided equally, and the rest were almost equally divided. The Black Scorpion Tail wine was given to Shen Jufeng. If she kills, she may not have this reward, and she does not need this tail.

“Let’s go quickly, I don’t know if the patrolling people are nearby.” Shen Jufeng said and looked around. They fought this battle for more than 20 minutes, and so far they haven’t seen a single person.

Lu Jiu was also on alert. She heard from those people that they will send people to patrol, and she doesn’t know if those people have discovered the situation here.

The figures of the two disappeared in Pingjing Mountain, and only then did Lu Jiu heave a sigh of relief when they returned to the vicinity of his city-state territory.

“I don’t know if it’s just luck, but fortunately no one saw us.” Otherwise, those people would know that they stole the mutant boss last time.
