Chapter 160
Chapter 152: Rare Mission
He did not expect that among the three people surrounded by a group of sand scorpions, one of them would be Xiao Bichen of “Phoenix”.
Last night’s incident in the tavern, Xiao Bichen, as one of the five patrol captains, had also been to the tavern. What he said was fair, and even some of the words that Wang Xuan heard were vaguely meant to help him. Therefore, Wang Xuan was right. She had a good impression, but she didn’t expect to see her in Scorpion City today.
In addition to Xiao Bichen, the three surrounded by the other two also wear “Phoenix” badges. One is a man of about twenty-seven or eight years old. , The body is covered with a mechanical shell, and he is obviously in a state of merging with the mechanical beast. He is holding a very small silver axe in his right hand, only half a foot long. The other man is about thirty-one years old, with darker skin and a surface Some were cratered, and in the right hand held a giant shield of rock.
Wang Xuan understands that the three of them are all powerful people in the “Phoenix”. It seems that they are leaving the town together and entering the scorpion city to hunt monsters. Also felt exhausted.
The man with black knees let out a violent roar, and the giant rock shield he held in his right hand smashed out, and the shell of a sand scorpion that rushed towards him shattered, unable to resist the rock shield’s blow, and the other sand scorpion smashed into pieces. The barb of the scorpion was thrown out like lightning, and he had no time to dodge, and his back was hooked by the barb.
The man groaned, Xiao Bichen swung out his right hand, a light and shadow flashed, and the long spear held in her right hand appeared, picked on the barb, a terrifying force oscillated, shattered the barb, and the long spear stabbed out. Poke into the open mouthpart of this sand scorpion, and stab it to the end.
“Brother Zhang, Li Hao, I’m going to use the ‘exploding crystal’ to break through, you all cooperate with me!”
Xiao Bichen gave a light drink, flipped his left hand, and took out an exploding crystal.
“Okay!” The handsome man was Li Hao, he answered and retreated to Xiao Bichen’s side, waiting for Xiao Bichen to throw the explosive crystal, and they broke through and rushed out together.
At this moment, Xiao Bichen made a light sound and noticed Wang Xuan who was rapidly approaching them in the distance.
When she saw Wang Xuan, a hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Bichen’s eyes. She didn’t seem to expect to see Wang Xuan here. She originally wanted to throw an explosive crystal, but now she saw Wang Xuan and changed her mind.
With a groan, Li Hao, who retreated to her left, splattered blood on his left arm and was clamped by the forelimb of a sand scorpion. His eyes were angry, and the silver axe in his right hand swung out, and a silver light swept through it like a piece of training. He went out and cut the head of the sand scorpion out of it.
As Wang Xuan continued to approach, two of the sand scorpions that besieged them immediately turned around and rushed towards the approaching Wang Xuan.
The two metal tentacles extended from his right hand. Wang Xuan was very difficult to deal with the white sand scorpion. With his current strength, it was difficult to kill instantly, so he borrowed a little energy from the blue crystal scales, and a blue shimmer appeared in the metal tentacles. There were two crisp snaps, and the speed and strength of the two metal tentacles that contained a little blue crystal scale energy increased. The two sand scorpions that rushed up didn’t have time to react, and they were hit in the head in an instant, killing them immediately.
Two white scales appeared and sank into Wang Xuan’s right hand.
Except for Xiao Bichen, Li Hao and Brother Zhang looked shocked when they saw it.
It is impossible to kill a five-star sand scorpion in an instant. How powerful is this young man in front of him?
Xiao Bichen had seen Wang Xuan’s skills last night, he could break Liu Ming’s limbs, and knock back Chen Daolin, who could be called the peak of his strength.
After killing these two sand scorpions, there was a slight confusion among the remaining sand scorpions, and several of them turned around and faced Wang Xuan.
Xiao Bichen and Li Hao immediately felt the pressure lightened. She let out a shout, put away the exploding crystal, and the spear in her right hand shook, spinning at a high speed, producing a terrifying penetrating force that shot from a sand scorpion. The side of the body passed through, and the yellow juice came out from the other side.
Wang Xuan controlled the metal tentacles and killed two sand scorpions again. Xiao Bichen and Li Hao fought back with all their strength and killed three sand scorpions. Most of the dozen or so were dead, and the rest of the sand scorpions turned around and fled. It quickly disappeared between the dilapidated buildings around it.
The crowd did not chase the fleeing sand scorpions. Li Hao and Brother Zhang were both injured. Fortunately, the injuries were not light. With their strength, these injuries would heal quickly. Wang Xuan noticed that only Xiao Bichen was not injured among the three. It seems that among the three, she is the strongest.
Xiao Bichen looked at Wang Xuan, nodded at him, showed a smile, and said, “Thank you for your help, otherwise we will be in trouble today.”
Wang Xuandao: “It’s not difficult to kill these sand scorpions with the strength of three. I killed four of them when I passed by, and three of them won’t be surprised, right?”
When Brother Zhang heard this, he laughed and said: “Brother, you are really good at talking, you are obviously helping us, but you are afraid that we will take offense. By the way, my name is Zhang Taixiong, this is Xiao Bichen, this is Li Hao, I don’t know. What’s your name, brother?”
Just as Wang Xuan was about to announce his name, Xiao Bichen looked at Zhang Taixiong with a smile and said, “Brother Zhang, this is Wang Xuan who became famous in the tavern last night.”
Zhang Taixiong and Li Hao were both taken aback and shouted together, “Wang Xuan?”
Zhang Taixiong nodded and smiled: “No wonder, when did I say that such a powerful character appeared in Wormtown, so you are Wang Xuan, yes, wearing a black bracelet, so young, and so powerful, only The blockbuster Wang Xuan from the ‘Xuan Gang’ meets this standard.”
Wang Xuan was a little embarrassed by their praise, and said, “I’m not that good. The three of you are busy, so I won’t disturb you.”
Zhang Taixiong hurriedly said, “Brother Wang, wait a moment.”
“Huh?” Wang Xuan stopped and looked at him.
Zhang Taixiong said, “Brother, is this your first time entering Scorpion City?”
Wang Xuan nodded.
Zhang Taixiong’s face was a little dignified, and he said: “The situation in Scorpion City is very complicated, far from being comparable to that of Snake Domain and Centipede Island. Even if we reach the perfect state, we don’t dare to go deep here alone. I see you alone and understand that you are sure. First time here.”
Wang Xuan said: “It seems that this scorpion city must be extremely dangerous.” I thought that Zhang Taixiong and the former “Xuan Gang” Gongsun Xiaoyan had warned him about the danger of the scorpion city. It seems that this scorpion city may be more dangerous than he imagined. Even more dangerous.
Zhang Taixiong said with a smile: “With the strength of Brother Wang, naturally there is no need to be afraid of ordinary monsters in this scorpion city. The main reason is that almost no one dares to enter the scorpion city alone, usually with a few people. Brother Wang is still very powerful, so I can’t bear it. Just ask out of curiosity.”
Xiao Bichen suddenly said, “How about the four of us join forces? I think we can try that mission.”
As soon as she said this, Wang Xuan, Zhang Taixiong and Li Hao were all startled, Zhang Taixiong’s eyes flashed immediately and said: “This is really worth a try, although we have made sufficient preparations this time, we are still not absolutely sure. , If we can invite Brother Wang together, the four of us should join forces, it should be almost the same.”
Li Hao frowned slightly and stood aside, but did not speak. Most of the time he looked at Xiao Bichen silently, with a faint admiration in his eyes. Obviously, he was interested in Xiao Bichen.
Seeing Wang Xuan’s doubts, Xiao Bichen explained, “I got a bronze treasure chest before, and luckily, I opened a piece of parchment. This parchment records not a general task, but a rare task.”
“This kind of rare quest is very rare, and the rewards are much higher than ordinary quests, and of course it will be very difficult. The address is in Scorpion City. I found Brother Zhang and Li Hao together. Although I have made sufficient preparations, I still feel that I am not fully sure. , if you are willing to join us, the four of us will join forces, and we will definitely be able to do it.”
When Xiao Bichen said this, her eyes flashed, and she looked at Wang Xuan with anticipation.
Wang Xuan could not have imagined that in addition to various tasks, there were also rare tasks, and he was a little curious about it, but he came to Scorpion City mainly to hunt down five-star monsters, absorb enough energy, and hope to break through the state and go further. .
Zhang Taixiong saw Wang Xuan’s hesitation, and immediately said: “Brother Wang, let’s go together. First, you can try this rare task. If you complete it, everyone will be rewarded. Second, it will not delay us hunting monsters and obtaining the energy we need. ”
He knew that Wang Xuan was coming to Scorpion City for the first time, and the main purpose must be to absorb the energy needed for growth. This sentence may impress Wang Xuan.
Hearing what he said, Wang Xuan was really moved, but he didn’t agree immediately, and said, “What exactly is this rare mission, can I take a look first?”
It’s not that he doesn’t believe the three people in front of him, but it’s better to be cautious and guard against others.
“Of course you can.” Xiao Bichen was quite cheerful, and immediately took out a piece of parchment from the storage belt and handed it to Wang Xuan.
Seeing that she trusted him, Wang Xuan moved slightly, took the parchment, unfolded it, and saw a few lines of words on it.
“Task name: The Secret of Scorpion City, Difficulty: Unknown.”
“This is a rare mission. Find the secret of Scorpion City. Unlock this secret and you will get a mysterious treasure.”
After that is the map of Scorpion City. There is a red line on the map, which represents the route of this mission.
“Unlock the secret and get the mysterious treasure?” Wang Xuan frowned. The reward for this rare quest is not a treasure chest, but a treasure. Since it can be called a treasure, the richness of the reward can be imagined.
Returning the parchment to Xiao Bichen, Wang Xuan also became curious about this rare task and mysterious treasure, and nodded in agreement.
Seeing Wang Xuan’s agreement, Xiao Bichen looked excited and said, “Then we will set off immediately. With you joining us, the four of us will definitely be able to complete this task.”
Zhang Taixiong also laughed and said, “That’s natural. With the four of us working together, I’m afraid that even a six-star difficulty task can be completed. It’s definitely no problem to complete this task.”
Xiao Bichen looked at the red route on the map, and pointed to the far left against the dilapidated buildings around him, and said, “Do you see a huge stone pillar there? Let’s go in that direction.”
Wang Xuan saw that there was indeed a huge stone pillar standing in the distance. Although part of it collapsed, the remaining one was still ten or twenty meters high. From a distance, one could feel the grandeur of this stone pillar.
“Go.” Zhang Taixiong raised his rock shield in his right hand and ran towards the left front first.
Xiao Bichen and Wang Xuan followed closely. Li Hao didn’t say a word, but fell behind with the silver axe in his hand.
Li Hao didn’t speak from the beginning to the end. From Wang Xuan’s point of view, this person was rather taciturn.
The four of them were all in a state of integration with the mechanical beast, with a double-layered defense on the surface of their bodies. The four of them were very fast, and they flew towards the distance at full speed. Soon there was a rustling sound all around, and seven sand scorpions appeared and moved towards them. surrounded.
“Kill!” Zhang Taixiong let out a low roar, with Wang Xuan joining the team, plus their three great powerhouses, even though these seven sand scorpions are five-star dangerous, they are not enough to watch.
With a “bang”, Zhang Taixiong collided with a sand scorpion that was rushing up to him. The rock shield glowed faintly. He lifted the rock shield and smashed it down again, immediately smashing the sand scorpion’s hard shell out of the crack. .
Li Hao swayed, the silver axe in his hand swung a silver light, and another sand scorpion rushed up.
Wang Xuan saw that among the three Xiao Bichen, Xiao Bichen had the strongest strength. She was holding a white spear in her right hand. The spear was in shock, with white energy lingering around it. As long as the sand scorpion touched the shock, the shell would be destroyed. It started to smash.
Although the three of them did not have the strength that Wang Xuan could instantly kill the sand scorpion, in terms of combat power, in a one-on-one situation, each of them was much stronger than the sand scorpion.
Wang Xuan still controlled the metal tentacles and borrowed a trace of blue crystal scale energy to instantly kill the sand scorpion and harvest energy.
Soon the seven sand scorpions were killed by four people. Wang Xuan killed three by himself, and Xiao Bichen killed four by three.
The four of them did not stop, and continued to run towards the giant stone pillar in the distance. On the way, they were attacked by two sand scorpions. Fortunately, there were not many sand scorpions. One was six sand scorpions, and the other was nine sand scorpions. Scorpion, the four of them killed all these sand scorpions with ease.
After killing the nine sand scorpions, Zhang Taixiong stopped and said with a laugh: “As expected, it is different to have Brother Wang join the team. Killing these guys is much easier.”
Wang Xuan smiled bitterly and said, “Brother Zhang can’t boast any more, I’m really proud of you.”
“Haha.” Zhang Taixiong laughed and said, “I fell in love with you at first sight. If you don’t dislike it, how about we go to the pub to have a few drinks when we go back this time?”
Wang Xuan nodded and said, “Of course, I will invite you.”
Zhang Taixiong immediately said with a stern face, “What are you talking about? Of course I invited you, you are not allowed to be polite to me.”
Wang Xuan saw that this chapter was too masculine and bold, and he liked him very much, so he nodded with a smile. At this moment, he heard the faint sound of fighting in the distance, and immediately turned his head to look to the other side.
Xiao Bichen and Zhang Taixiong also heard it, and looked at them one after another, but saw a few figures appear about a kilometer away from them, and a group of sand scorpions appeared, surrounded them, and the two sides immediately began to fight.
“It seems to be someone from Rakshasa… let’s go.” Xiao Bichen glanced at it from a distance, thinking that Rakshasa and Wang Xuan would not deal with it, and immediately continued to run towards the giant stone pillar.
Wang Xuan knew that many of the five major forces had a lot of powerhouses in the Scorpion City. He was very familiar with these Rakshasa people. They should be the people who have been staying in the Scorpion City for the past few days. I don’t know the conflict between myself and Rakshasa.
The four of them didn’t stay too long, and continued to run towards the giant stone pillar in the distance. They were not attacked by sand scorpions or other monsters along the way. After ten minutes, they stopped. Not far in front of them, they were A huge broken stone pillar stands.
In addition to this stone pillar, there are several other stone pillars that are about the same thickness, but these stone pillars almost completely fell down, leaving only the stone pillar base less than one meter high on the ground.
Between these stone pillars and in the yellow sand, you can still see some broken walls, but because the damage is so severe, it is difficult to see what this building once looked like.
“Looking at these stone pillars and these walls, it seems that this place used to be a huge palace or temple.” Xiao Bichen opened the parchment in his hand while observing, a look of surprise on his face.
Wang Xuan nodded and said, “It does look a bit like it. If it is really a palace or something, the scale of this palace is not small, and it can be called quite magnificent.”
A broken stone pillar is still ten or twenty meters high. If the palace is intact, it can be called magnificent.
Zhang Taixiong looked around and said, “Speaking of which, this Scorpion City used to be a huge ancient city, but now it is occupied by these scorpion monsters, so it is called Scorpion City, I just don’t know what it was called before.”
Wang Xuan said: “The rare mission we are going to do this time is to find the secrets of Scorpion City. I just don’t know what secrets are hidden in Scorpion City. Maybe it has something to do with the past of Scorpion City. Not sure.”
Xiao Bichen looked at the parchment, raised her head after hearing Wang Xuan’s words, and said, “You’re right, the secret we’re looking for really has something to do with the past of this scorpion city, saying that it used to be a place for worshipping gods. The temple, there is a secret about the gods hidden under this temple, we need to find the entrance to the basement of the temple first.”
Wang Xuan was startled, God’s secret?
As she spoke, she walked towards the front. According to the map sign above, she looked for the location of the underground entrance of the temple. Soon, she stopped at the base of one of the stone pillars.
“Is it here?” Li Hao, who had not spoken for a while, finally asked.
Xiao Bichen sighed: “According to the reference objects drawn on the map, it is about three meters away from the base of this stone pillar in this direction…”
As she spoke, she moved to the right, quickly determined the direction, stepped on it lightly with her foot, and said, “This is it.”
Zhang Taixiong said: “Okay, then let’s see if there is an entrance below.” With a wave of his right hand, the rock shield in his hand changed, and soon became much thinner, like a shovel, shoveling towards the yellow sand below.
“King Kong Is Not Bad Dazhai Master”
A large amount of yellow sand was shoveled away with one shovel. Zhang Taixiong quickly cleared the covered piece of yellow sand. Wang Xuan saw a slate under the yellow sand. The slate was engraved with complex patterns. Zhang Taixiong immediately tapped it with his hand. Knock, listen to the echo, the bottom should be solid, and there is no hollow echo.
“This is really the entrance? It doesn’t look like there is a basement or something.” Zhang Taixiong showed a puzzled look on his face.
Wang Xuan remembered that he was at the top of Centipede Island. In order to open the passage to the bottom, he had also tried the giant rock at that time. There is a downward passage.
Therefore, in this world, previous experience cannot be applied at all.
Xiao Bichen said: “I don’t know either. According to the records above, it is necessary to use blood to smear these patterns. The mission recorded on this parchment has never been wrong. Since it is recorded like this, it must be reasonable.”
She was about to slash her fingers when Li Hao on one side had already slashed the palm of his left hand with the silver axe in his right hand.
Xiao Bichen glanced at him, smeared blood on the palm of his left hand with his hand, and began to smear the pattern below according to the records on the parchment.
Wang Xuan watched silently on the side, and now he finally saw it, Li Hao probably meant something to Xiao Bichen.
The patterns on the slate on the ground looked very complicated and messy. Xiao Bichen only chose a few patterns to apply. When she applied the six patterns, it was as if some mechanism or seal was touched. The six patterns shook slightly. The blood smeared on it immediately seeped into it, followed by a soundless, the slate sinking down, revealing a square entrance with a side length of about one meter five.
“There is really an entrance. I knocked it before and it was solid.” Zhang Taixiong murmured, with an incomprehensible look on his face.
Xiao Bichen put away the parchment, immediately took out a spar from the storage belt, rubbed it on the surface, the spar glowed, she took the glowing spar and shone into the entrance.
Wang Xuan stood aside and looked inside with the help of the light of the spar.
Looking down from the entrance, you can see that there is an underground space below, about three meters deep, surrounded by walls, and you can see that there is a door on one of the walls, other than that, there is nothing.
Xiao Bichen was very cautious, and did not go down rashly, but first released the fusion state with the mechanical beast, and put his mechanical horse in first.
The mechanical horse entered it, patrolled around, and then stepped on metal hooves, making a crisp sound.
“There’s no danger, let’s go down and have a look.”
Xiao Bichen then took the lighting spar and jumped down from the entrance, followed by Wang Xuan, Zhang Taixiong and Li Hao.
Wang Xuan fell down and saw that the basement was about ten meters long and wide, and the space was relatively spacious. There were four stone walls, and one of the walls had a stone door.
This stone gate is not small, its height is almost to the top, and its width reaches two meters.
Xiao Bichen took out the parchment and looked at it again, and said, “The map on this has changed again, and we need to enter this stone gate.”
As she spoke, she walked towards the Shimen. Under her instructions, the one-horned horse rushed to the Shimen first. It hit the stone door lightly with its single horn, and the stone door burst open. Almost at the same moment, an afterimage appeared. The unicorn was heavily drawn.
“Zi Zai!” Xiao Bichen was startled and cried out, this Zai Zai was the name she gave to this one-horned horse.
The one-horned horse suffered this blow, and the mechanical shell on its head shattered immediately, followed by being hit by the black shadow that appeared in the stone gate, and flew back directly into the sky.
The sudden incident shocked everyone. Li Hao and Zhang Taixiong reacted quickly, flicking to the left and right, avoiding the falling unicorn. Wang Xuan stretched out his right hand, and the metal tentacles extended from his right hand, protecting him in front of him. , looked towards the stone gate.
