Chapter 204: Dreadclaw
The subtle sound was getting closer.
Marven knew that it was the scraping sound of the dreadclaw's forelimbs as they embedded themselves in the rock.
Only when the listening level reaches a certain level can the Dreadclaw be able to perceive the other person before the Dreadclaw realizes itself.
Marven listened silently for a while, and quickly made a judgment:
"There is only one, which should have been sent out to hunt alone."
"It's pretty simple for a normal dreadclaw."
But Marven didn't take it lightly. These creatures are terrifying predators underground, with vulture-like heads, curled hooked forelimbs, thick hind limbs, and very sharp claws. Dreadclaws can walk upright or climb on rocks, and they have a very hard carapace behind them, making them natural predators for wanderers!
If it's an ordinary thief, I'm afraid I can't even break through the defenses of the Dreadclaw.
If you are scratched by its hook, you will most likely die on the spot.
Although Marven has a lot of combat experience, he can't take it lightly.
Thinking of this, he took out a wild boar that had been tied up in advance from the thousand paper cranes and threw it on the ground.
The wild boar is still alive! That's the magic of origami.
It was tied with rope and could only struggle in vain.
This struggle, however, can create a certain amount of movement that attracts the arrival of the Dreadclaw.
After doing this, Marven opened his hiding and lurked aside.
The Dreadclaw has a unique ability to determine the location of enemies through high-frequency sound waves.
But Marvin hid behind a huge rock. rocks of this thickness. Enough to fend off his sonic perception.
Soon, at the end of the cave, a shadow quickly appeared.
A lone dreadclaw.
Marven held his breath tightly. There aren't many opportunities left for yourself. The only weakness of the Dreadclaw is its heart and head, but if you want to attack these two places, you will face the attack of the Dreadclaw's terrifying hook, and only by mastering the timing of the attack can you solve the problem relatively safely.
……
The wandering dreadclaw soon spotted the struggling boar.
The good IQ made it not immediately come forward, but began to evaluate the strength of the prey.
He had never seen such a strange creature.
Because this wild boar was brought by Marven from the surface, in the underground world. There are no creatures like it!
Or even if there were, it became extinct early because it could not adapt to the harsh environment.
The dreadclaw hesitated.
And this hesitation. That's what Marven wants!
He silently took out a ball and rolled it out gently.
Although this movement was small, it was immediately caught by the dreadclaw!
It jerked over, its sharp claws spreading. Pounced on the orb.
However, in an instant, the ball erupted with a scorching light!
【Yang Yan Law Ball】!
It contains a large amount of yang fire spell energy, and it is the nemesis of many underground creatures.
The dreadclaw avoided it, and a chirping sound came out of its mouth.
Its claws, however, smashed wildly into the orb out of fear.
However, in the next second, the punctured Yang Yan magic ball exploded immediately!
Rumble!
A slight sound sounded in the cavern.
The bursting sun energy overflowed wildly, illuminating the entire cavern, and the dreadclaw's forelimbs were directly melted to paralysis. It tilted its head frantically, trying to dodge the damage of the Sunfire spell.
Three seconds later, the energy in the Yang Yan Orb was released. All that remains is the sparks splashing around in the cavern.
The Dreadclaw is mortally injured and attempts to escape.
However, at this time, Marven, who had been lurking, finally moved.
Now is the time!
The Warp of the Night quietly launched, and Marven's figure appeared like a ghost on the way to escape the dreadclaw!
His scimitar sliced through a pair of dreadclaw's forelimbs with ease like tofu!
An easy dodge. It dodged the counterattack of the dreadclaw's beak, and the next second. Marven's scimitar slashed at the dreadclaw's neck!
The two knives came out together, and the dreadclaw monster that was hit hard by the Yang Yan Orb was simply invincible.
After just five breaths, he was cut off by Marven's head!
But the news of the fight here has already gotten out.
Soon, Marven heard a rustling sound.
At least three dreadclaws were approaching frantically, and they didn't hide their whereabouts at all, but instead directly supported their companions.
"Half a minute at most."
Marven sneered, this was exactly what he wanted!
He didn't bother with the dreadclaw's corpse for now, and one turned and hid behind the giant rock.
In his hands, one left and one right, he once again touched out two Yang Yan magic balls!
That's Marven's battle plan, the giant rock hinders the Dreadclaw's perception - and then goes crazy throwing money!
That's right, it's throwing money.
If there is a wizard present, I am afraid that he will pinch Marven's neck and scold the tyrannical things!
Is that how the Yang Flame Orb is used?!
This is used to increase the strength of the Sunfire sorcery, and is a tool for some wizards and priests to cast spell amplification.
In Marvin's case, however, it is treated as a one-time consumable.
It's completely used as a grenade!
The process of making zuò for each Yang Yan magic ball is very complicated, and it requires the cooperation of high-level alchemists and wizards to make zuò.
So much so that even in the entire south, there would not be more than a hundred Yang Flame Orbs flowing out of the Three-Ring Tower or other wizarding organizations every year.
Marven, on the other hand, used Hathaway's connections to buy six Yang Flame Orbs from the Tower of Ashes and the Tower of Craftsmen alone.
The price of each Yang Flame Orb is 1,000 Wizard Gold Coins!
This is still the result of discounting Hathaway's face.
Six Yang Flame Orbs are six thousand! This money is still Marven on credit.
Each Yang Flame Orb can be disassembled into two [Dragon's Tooth] cannonballs for use.
But Marven was not distressed.
A normal dreadclaw. He just avoided it. But this group of dreadclaw, he must get rid of it.
For that hot spring, it's worth the extra money.
Because it doesn't just improve your physique. You can also get shards of earth crystals!
Anyway, Marven is already in debt, and he doesn't care about spending more in this area.
money, and combat power.
In a sense, it can be equated.
Especially when associated with professions such as wizards and alchemists.
At this time, the bitterness of the lone ranger is reflected. No matter how rich a lone ranger is, he can't compare to a lord who owns an entire territory. Marven has a territory as a foundation and a gold mine as a guarantee. It's still easy to borrow some money.
……
The dreadclaw's footsteps are fine, and the three-headed monster is in a zigzag shape. Quickly approach the place where their companion fell.
One of the dreadclaws was significantly larger than the other two.
This one is a female dreadclaw, the leader of the entire dreadclaw family.
This creature is a matriarchal group, usually consisting of a female dreadclaw with several males. And the strength of the former is often greater than that of the latter.
Marven remembered clearly, the number of this nest of dreadclaw monsters was four, one female and three males, and he had already killed one of them just now, and the rest were here.
So without hesitation, he threw out the two priceless Yang Flame Magic Balls, and then retracted them!
In the next second, as Marven expected, the Dire Claw Monster would subconsciously scratch with its claws for any orbular object!
Where can the glass Yang Yan magic orb withstand their claws scratching like this? As soon as you scratch it, there will naturally be holes.
The Yang Yan Orb itself is a very unstable alchemy item, once there is a hole, the Yang Yan energy inside will explode slightly!
Radiant light.
Marven estimated the time. Taking advantage of the temporary dissipation of the Yang Flame ability, in the frightened and angry voices of the three Dreadclaw Monsters, they rushed out like lightning!
After throwing the money, the next step is the rhythm of harvesting!
……
The four-headed dreadclaw monster itself contributed nearly 10,000 experience to Marven, but this experience was really drizzle compared to the Yang Yan magic ball that Marven threw out.
In a past life. Marven struggled with the female dreadclaw for a long time, and hung up once during this time. finally found a flaw and killed her.
At that time, it should have been when Marven was at his poorest.
Now that I think about it, it was really lonely and miserable at that time......
Now starting from scratch, Marven, who has a lot of money, immediately turned the situation around and simply sent the Dreadclaw Monster family to hell.
With nothing of value on the dreadclaw, Marven casually chopped off one of their scales and started the night tracking.
With guò, he can track down the dreadclaw's lair.
And that hot spring, right next to their lair.
……
In the dark nest, some white eggs are quietly arranged.
These are dreadclaw eggs, however they have no use for eggs other than their food value......
Marvin put away the eggs with the attitude that mosquito legs are still meat, no matter how thin they are.
He fumbled around the edge of the dreadclaw's lair, finally finding the hidden hot spring.
It is said to be a hot spring, but it is actually a small pool of water, the water temperature is very high, and there is a piece of earth crystal at the bottom of the water, but you need to dive into a very deep position to get it.
Since Marven is here, he is naturally completely prepared.
The expensive underwater breathing medicine, he also brought two bottles for spare.
He traveled lightly, drank the underwater breathing potion, and plunged into the hot spring.
He had to get the shard of the earth crystal.
……
In the dark paths, a standard scout team is groping their way forward.
"There's a nest of dreadclaws ahead, let's watch out for a detour."
A delicate female voice rang out.
The rest nodded their heads.
It's a group of dark elf warriors!
To put it simply, it is Drow.
Drow is a matriarchal society, and in this typical scout team, the captain is also a woman.
However, at this moment, a male Drow suddenly exclaimed, "I found a nest of dreadclaw corpses here!" ”
"The corpse of the Dreadclaw?!"
The female Drow was surprised: "Where did the power come from to destroy this nest of dreadclaws?" ”
"Wait...... Judging by the traces, there is only one person on the other side! ”
The male dark elf said.
The woman was silent for a while, and then said decisively: "Greg, Amir, you come with me." The rest of the people, search nearby. ”
"See if there's any sign of a suspicious creature!"
…… (To be continued)
