Chapter 20 Monster Valley
The explosion came from the upper reaches of the river. Zhao Qiankun and Xun Yiming looked at each other: "I haven't heard of any bugs that can play with fire yet. Is there an adventurer doing a mission nearby?"
The two were thinking about it when they suddenly saw a strange-shaped helmet floating down the river. Zhao Qiankun raised his hand and snatched the helmet up and found that it was made of insect armor material. No wonder it could float on the water surface. However, the helmet was seriously damaged and blood was seen in the places with less water inside. Obviously, its owner had experienced a fierce battle!
Since they met, the two of them rushed upstream. If an adventurer encounters difficulties, it would be better to do a favor.
Looking along the river, the two of them finally came to a valley... This is not the ditches with tree roots like Dawang Canyon, but a real valley. Looking at the exposed rocks on both sides, they are nearly a thousand meters high. This is magnificent in other continents, but against the backdrop of giant trees around hundreds of meters, these two mountains are obviously a bit small no matter how you look at it...
The river flows out of the valley. Could it be that the battle takes place in the valley?
As they were thinking, an explosion suddenly came from the valley. This time the sound was very loud. With the amplification effect of the valley, both of them were shocked to feel a little uncomfortable. It seemed that it was right!
Zhao Qiankun placed the big basket at the entrance of the valley, took a big stone and pressed it on it, and then went deep into the valley with Xun Yiming.
This valley is really not small, with no giant trees inside, but there are a large number of flowers, plants, fungi and shrubs. However, the size is similar to that of the dense jungle relative to the human beings entering...
When you enter here, you can not only hear the sound of explosions, but also the sound of fighting weapons colliding. The two of them follow the sound through the grass and finally see the scene of the battle!
In a wide area by the river, about twenty adventurers were fighting against a group of strange insects...
These insects are about two or three meters long, with a cockroach that looks like a cockroach, with six long legs covered with spikes, and wings that can provide short-range flights. However, at the front of the body, there are a pair of folded slender claws, like whip spiders, and extremely aggressive...
These insects are not big in size and do not have very hard shells. If you fight alone, some experienced adventurers can handle it, but you can't stand them in large numbers. There are countless cockroach monsters surrounding the adventurers from all directions. On the surrounding ground, there are already many corpses of cockroach monsters, many of which are burnt. It must be the result of the explosion...
On the other hand, these adventurers were almost injured, two of them were already unconscious and lost their combat effectiveness, and were maintained by other companions. After closer inspection, these adventurers were actually women, including humans, elves, and even female dwarfs. They were all good at their skills, which reminded them of an adventure group.
Red Moon?
Only they are recruiting women!
But looking at these, most of them are adventurers of the bear level, and only two are tiger level. One of them is a middle-aged woman dressed in a mage. The violent explosion must be her masterpiece, while the other is a tall and strong female warrior with a giant axe. The heavy giant axe looks like a light sword in her hand. She waves it and whistles the wind to kill all the cockroach monsters approaching.
However, no matter how brave these female warriors are, they can't resist hundreds of insect monsters. Seeing that two more were injured and retreated into the circle, the female warrior also added two wounds, and the female mage was planning the next big move.
At this time, Xun Yiming's long sword was unsheathed and rushed into the formation. As a master of the great Taoism, these cockroach monsters seemed to be covered in paper under his sword. Wherever the sword light passed, they were harvested like chopping melons and vegetables, killing them so hard that their limbs were flying and juice splashed everywhere!
Zhao Qiankun also walked into the battlefield. Wherever he passed, all the cockroach monsters within a radius of ten meters were floating under the internal force of Fu Yungong. Even if he flapped his wings and kicked his legs, he could not escape. Then, when Lao Zhao clapped his hands, the monsters gathered in the air and were pinched into a big meat ball and fell to the ground.
With these two powerful people joining the battle, most of the cockroach monsters that originally looked endless were instantly cleaned up.
Seeing this, the other adventurers were motivated and launched a counterattack, finally killing all the cockroach monsters...
"Thank you for your help..." The female warrior in the giant axe panting and expressed his gratitude. Zhao Qiankun waved his hand: "It's a simple task, you are from the Red Moon Adventure Group, where are Jessica and the others? Not with you?"
The female warrior of giant axe nodded: "That's right, the leader of the group took the captain of the archer and captain of scout to the deeper part of the canyon. We stayed here to intercept the insect monsters we caught up with. At first, there were only a few dozen, but in a blink of an eye, hundreds and thousands appeared, so we couldn't support it anymore. Thanks to the two who extended a helping hand, I don't know what to call it?"
"His name is Xun Yiming, my name is Zhao Qiankun!" After saying that, Lao Zhao asked, "What mission are you taking? Are there any powerful monsters in this canyon?"
The members of the Red Moon League hesitated for a moment. Generally speaking, it is not convenient for adventurers who meet in the wild to find out the content of the mission, because they are suspected of robbing the mission. Zhao Qiankun and Xun Yiming were both here not long ago and did not understand these rules. They asked abruptly, which immediately made the atmosphere awkward.
However, considering that the other party was the life-saving benefactor, the female mage and the giant axe warrior looked at each other and honestly explained: "Our mission is to investigate this canyon, because someone reported that they had seen many strange creatures in this canyon. Their appearance is often very different from other nearby creatures, and even the structure is unreasonable..." As he said that, the female mage kicked the worm corpse on the ground: "For example, these strange insects that just attacked us are like forcibly putting cockroaches and whip spiders together!"
"It's indeed a bit strange..." Xun Yiming also felt that these insects looked weird.
"More than that!" said the female warrior: "We just met a huge centipede more than ten meters long, but a mantis-like sickle under our necks; and a huge unicorn fairy with a large jaw like a elliptical insect... They all look like a pieced together creature... But those insects are very powerful, and we were unable to kill and leave evidence. The regiment commander and others went deeper to chase these monster insects, and we were dealing with weaker insects here..."
"It seems that this valley is not that simple..." Old Zhao became interested and turned to Xun Yiming and said, "Do you want to join in the fun?"
Xun Yiming shook his long sword: "As long as you dare to go, I will accompany you!"
"Two..." At this time, the giant axe warrior stood up, hesitating in his words.
"Don't worry, we won't rob your mission!" Old Zhao smiled and said, "We are holding a huge sum of money in our hands!"
"I don't mean that..." said the female warrior: "The monster insects on the periphery are already very strange and powerful, and the number is far beyond our imagination... The valley is very deep, and I am afraid that the commander and the others will suffer losses, but we have some heavy casualties and are unable to support and protect. If you want to go in, can you help the commander and the others... We are here, thank you first... I can't make the decision on the mission reward, but I am willing to pay out of my own pocket and bring up a thank-you gift..."
Zhao Qiankun and Xun Yiming looked at these loyal female soldiers and smiled at each other: "No need to thank you anymore. If you leave the valley, you will see a basket. Please help us see it, even if you give me a reward!"
"A basket?" the female mage frowned and said, "Where is the specific location? The grass and trees are lush here, and I'm afraid I can't find it..."
