Chapter 85: Green Crystal Core

The giant stag beetle used all its strength and clamped down hard.

The mandibles clamped the giant centipede's body in two, clean and simple.

It was just that the centipede was ferocious by nature, and being clamped into two sections didn't mean it died immediately.

The latter half was twitching unconsciously on the side, but the front half of the head seemed to know that its life was not long, and it launched its last crazy attack.

The remaining venom chelicerae stabbed fiercely toward the stag beetle's face with a harsh whistling sound.

Besides bringing incomparable attack power, the stag beetle's huge front mandibles also brought the weakness of inconvenience in movement.

Watching the centipede's last attack about to hit its forehead, all of the stag beetle's compound eyes reflected this fierce attack.

"Clang!"

Vivian's great sword blocked this attack at this critical moment.

However, the centipede's final, desperate strike was so powerful that it shoved Vivian's body, pinning her firmly against the beetle's serrated mandibles.

"Squeak-creak!"

The armor on Vivian's back and the serrated mandibles rubbed against each other, making a squeaking sound.

"Ah!"

Vivian's face was painful, and her whole body burst out with intense golden Holy Light!

"Clang!"

The great sword swung out, and Vivian, who had burst out all her Holy Light Battle Qi, finally deflected the giant centipede's last attack.

Vivian was panting, and the hands holding the great sword were trembling uncontrollably!

Looking at the half-section of the giant centipede she had deflected, which was twisting and waiting for death on the open space not far away, Vivian grinned.

It was just that Nie Yingying and Duanmu Xing beside her were looking at her with faces full of nervousness.

And Agasha was already bending her bow and nocking an arrow with a serious face, pointing at the giant stag beetle's face, because Vivian was right in the middle of the stag beetle's giant mandibles.

"Vivian!"

Nie Yingying raised her hands nervously.

"Behind you!"

"Eh?!" Vivian scratched her head and turned to look; the stag beetle's huge, ferocious mouthparts were only one body-length away from her.

"What to do? Should I attack?"

Agasha swallowed her saliva and asked Nie Yingying in front of her in a low, uncertain voice.

"Don't move, it's too late! Axing, do you have any defensive skills?"

Duanmu Xing nodded, holding the staff in her hand tightly, her little face covered in sweat.

"Okay, Axing, get ready, wait for my order before releasing the skill! Agasha too!"

Here, Nie Yingying and the other three were still thinking about how not to anger the giant stag beetle, but Vivian suddenly laughed loudly.

Vivian was seen leaning on her great sword with one hand and putting her other hand on her hip.

"General Iron Armor, we won, aren't you happy! Hahaha!"

While speaking, she stepped forward and patted the stag beetle's mandibles vigorously.

The giant stag beetle was clearly startled by Vivian's sudden move, and its entire huge insect body couldn't help but tremble!

Nie Yingying gasped; she really didn't expect Vivian to be so bold.

And Agasha was so scared she almost shot the arrow in her hand.

Nie Yingying crouched low, her entire body resembling a beautiful leopard; she held her Shadow-Piercing Dagger in a reverse grip, already prepared to risk her life to rescue Vivian.

But contrary to everyone's expectations, this giant stag beetle didn't attack Vivian, who was right at its mouth, but quickly turned back and rushed toward the half-section of the giant centipede's body that had already stopped struggling.

"Is the desire for revenge so strong?"

But before everyone could react, the stag beetle's mandibles tore open the giant centipede's head.

After tearing open the giant centipede's head shell, the stag beetle stopped and hissed at Vivian.

"Eh?!"

Vivian was a bit confused.

"Forget it, I don't have the habit of venting on corpses!"

Although Vivian said so, the stag beetle saw her still standing in place waving, so it hissed at Vivian again.

"Sister Vivian, it seems to be asking you to go over."

Agasha, as a forest elf, could also vaguely sense the thoughts of animals.

Hearing Agasha say this, Vivian nodded immediately and walked toward the giant stag beetle in a carefree manner.

"Vivian..."

Nie Yingying was a bit worried, but was interrupted by Vivian.

"It's okay, Sister Nie! General Iron Armor knows I'm a good person! Hehe!"

When Vivian walked closer, the big beetle indeed stopped hissing, but stepped back and turned to hiss softly toward the direction of the giant centipede's corpse.

At this time, even Vivian understood.

She walked to the side of the giant centipede's torn-open head and leaned over to look, only to see a thumb-sized green diamond-shaped crystal lying in the turbid tissue fluid, slightly flashing with light.

"Hey! What is this?" Vivian shouted to Nie Yingying and the others who were surrounding her from behind while climbing onto the centipede's huge head: "Sister Nie, there's something inside the centipede's big head!"

While speaking, she had already nimbly climbed up and leaped into the centipede's big head.

Suddenly, all kinds of fishy and smelly juices splashed, but Vivian didn't mind at all, grabbed the diamond-shaped crystal from it, and climbed out happily.

"Sister Nie, look!"

Nie Yingying, Agasha, and Duanmu Xing all took a step back together.

"Eh? What's wrong?"

Agasha and Duanmu Xing covered their mouths and giggled, and the veins on Nie Yingying's forehead jumped.

She snatched the crystal from Vivian's hand and then dragged her hand toward the small river nearby.

"Look at you, you don't look like a girl at all, go down and wash quickly!"

Saying this, she started helping the sticky Vivian take off her clothes.

When Vivian jumped into the small river and started bathing, Nie Yingying then washed the green crystal in her hand with the river water and carefully observed it together with Agasha and Duanmu Xing who had gathered around.

"Sister Nie, what is this thing?"

Duanmu Xing looked curious; in the past, her sister Duanmu Li had protected her too well, and she had never experienced such an exciting battle.

Now that she had a harvest after the battle, this made her feel very novel and happy.

Although Nie Yingying was half an old hand, it was also her first time seeing such a thing, so she couldn't help but shake her head.

"I don't know, I've never seen anything like it! Agasha, have you seen it?"

Agasha beside her reached out to take the crystal, looked at it carefully, and said thoughtfully.

"This thing is a bit like the crystal core of a magical beast in our Elf Forest! But I haven't seen it, I've only heard people in the clan mention it."

"Oh! Then do you know what it's used for?"

Agasha shook her head, handed the crystal back to Nie Yingying's hand, and said.

"I don't know, I didn't pay attention at the time; who knew we would actually run into it!"

Nie Yingying nodded, then handed the crystal to Duanmu Xing who was watching the fun on the side.

"Eh? Sister Nie, why give it to me?"

Patting Duanmu Xing's cute little head, Nie Yingying said with a smile.

"Because you are a priest, our key protection object! So I decided to temporarily put all the harvests with you, and when we all complete the mission and leave this plot map, everyone will distribute them uniformly!" ===== CHAPTER 86 =====
