Chapter 87: The Four Who Walked Out of the Forest
The four girls sat on the back of the giant stag beetle, walking downstream along the water flow.
During this period, they also saw countless one-meter-long giant worms, aphids as big as water vats, spiders as big as tanks, and so on.
Fortunately, all these monsters were on the menu in front of General Iron Armor. Seeing General Iron Armor's heroic posture from afar, these monsters all ran away. Only Agasha was quick-eyed and shot the giant worm to death with a flying arrow, letting General Iron Armor have a full meal.
And among all these menu items, only that tank-sized spider was the most stubborn.
After seeing General Iron Armor, it actually dared to sneak attack, leaping down from a giant daisy as high as a hundred meters, and its target was Duanmu Xing, who looked the weakest in the team.
It was also at this time that everyone saw how amazing Agasha's archery was.
The moment that big spider jumped down from high altitude, Agasha discovered it and bent her bow and shot an arrow at the same time.
Agasha's shooting speed was so fast that it seemed there was no action of pulling the bow; only arrows were seen lining up and shooting toward the big spider in the sky.
When the spider was about to fall halfway, its entire head was already covered with arrows. At this time, the bow and arrow in Agasha's hand flashed and turned into a long spear.
Agasha used her body as a bow, and the tip of the long spear flashed with sharp light slightly.
"Whoosh!"
The long spear flew away at a speed too fast to see, plunging straight into the big spider's mouthparts.
This blow not only completely killed the big spider but also repelled the big spider's attack route, causing it to finally brush past the stag beetle and fall fiercely to the ground nearby.
Agasha jumped nimbly off the stag beetle's back, walked to the big spider's corpse, pulled out the long spear, and carefully rummaged through it before finally finding a crystal core that was also green.
It was just that this crystal core was much smaller than the one from the giant centipede, probably only one-tenth the size.
Picking up the crystal core, the four girls continued on their way.
After walking for another half an hour, the four people and one monster finally walked out of this forest composed of various tall flowers and vines.
And appearing in the distance was a tall city wall spreading out; this city wall was so tall that it was probably forty or fifty meters high.
But when walking out of the forest, General Iron Armor refused to move forward no matter what.
Helplessly, the four had to get off.
"General Iron Armor, goodbye! You must be careful by yourself in the forest! Don't be bullied by guys like stinky centipedes again!"
After Vivian waved goodbye to the stag beetle, the stag beetle, which had been a mount for half a day, let out a low hiss and turned around, slowly walking toward the forest.
The four walked toward the place similar to the city gate in the distance.
There was a huge sandy and rocky land between the forest and the city wall, which was truly not easy to walk on.
Fortunately, the four were all Tier 3 travelers, so such things naturally wouldn't stump them. Just as they were about to walk to the city gate, they discovered a team being attacked by a giant mantis.
Seeing this, the four immediately rushed up to help.
After getting closer, the four realized that this was a combat squad composed of thirteen people.
The team's personnel configuration was reasonable, with front-row warriors and back-row crossbowmen and spellcasters, and everyone wore golden tight-fitting armor.
If they had seen the 'Thorn Knights' in Rose City, they would have found the configuration almost identical.
However, even such a powerful team was beaten into a sorry state by that giant mantis.
The mantis's two sharp front limbs just swung lightly, knocking the front-row warrior holding a shield flying, and leaving deep scars on the golden shield.
Fortunately, although the shield warrior was knocked flying, he finally protected the crossbow archers in the back row.
The archers shot crossbow arrows to counterattack one after another, but although these crossbow arrows could break through the mantis's emerald green shell, that was all.
Only a few crossbow arrows hit the mantis's relatively weak abdomen, which caused some damage.
The only thing that posed a threat to the giant mantis was a spellcaster holding a staff at the end of the team. Every time she cast a spell, a giant earth spike would protrude from the ground and stab straight at the mantis's abdomen, which made the giant mantis very wary.
So this big mantis simply spread the wings on its back and flew into the air, preparing to launch a fatal blow to this spellcaster from the air.
Nie Yingying and the four arrived just in time to see this scene.
"Careful!"
The mantis's pair of knife-sharp front limbs were about to slash this spellcaster into three sections when a golden light suddenly appeared from mid-air and covered this spellcaster.
"Clang!"
This golden light was so solid that it actually withstood this fatal blow.
But after this, the golden light also shattered and disappeared. At the same time, the little girl Duanmu Xing among the four had a trace of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.
"Axing!"
Nie Yingying noticed Duanmu Xing's abnormality and immediately blocked in front of her with two daggers in her hands.
"Vivian, Agasha, you go help; I'll protect Axing!"
Vivian had long been unable to hold back. Seeing Duanmu Xing injured, she immediately raised her great sword angrily and charged up.
And on Vivian's charge, Agasha's arrows had already flown toward the giant mantis in the air one by one.
Unlike the crossbow archers in that team, Agasha's arrows brought strong pressure to the giant mantis; each arrow was aimed at the mantis's weak points such as eyes, wings, and abdomen.
This made the mantis exhausted, with no time to continue descending to attack the team on the ground.
And that team, seeing someone come to support, immediately launched a counterattack.
Except for two shield warriors who retreated to the side of the strongest earth-type mage, other warriors holding long spears all spread their wings and flew into mid-air, surrounding the mantis to harass and attack constantly.
That's right, like the 'Thorn Knights', most of the people in this squad also had wings of various colors.
And Vivian, who charged over aggressively with a great sword, could only stand on the ground and look up and try hard to wait. Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore, infused the golden Holy Light into the great sword in her hand, and threw it toward the giant mantis in the air as a giant flying dart.
The great sword emitted golden light and flew past a long-spear warrior in mid-air with a whistling sound, scaring him so much that his wings stopped flapping.
It was precisely because of this warrior's obstruction of vision that the giant mantis didn't discover the giant flying dart thrown by Vivian in the first time.
The great sword, carrying golden light, split the giant mantis into two from its thin waist with incomparable power!
Everyone was stunned by Vivian's hand!
Including herself!
However, who is Vivian? After seeing her great achievement, she immediately put her hands on her hips and struck a pose of "I made a move and killed it in one hit."
And Vivian's number one fan, Agasha, followed up immediately.
"Wow! Sister Vivian is so amazing!" ===== CHAPTER 88 =====
