"Stop splashing water! Be careful not to destroy the scales of the monster." Vipseth yelled at Ryan. Because the Ant Monster was not dead yet, Ryan kept pouring water on it, trying to inflict more damage to the Ant Monster. But when Vipses saw the Ant Monster's scales changing color and cracking, his original idea of ??harvesting the Ant Monster's extremely hard scales was dashed, and he couldn't help but become a little angry. When Ruian heard this, he immediately stopped splashing water, but mainly because he had already splashed too much water, and the scales on the Ant Monster were no longer invulnerable and had numerous cracks. Without the magical defense ability of its scales, the ant monster instantly became extremely fragile. It only received a few attacks from everyone, and its whole body was covered with cracks. It suddenly screamed and fell down, and all the scales on its body scattered into countless fragments with the cracks. The muscles and internal organs in the body were like It collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud and spread all over the place. "Seeing the Ant Monster, which was so brave before and could not be hurt no matter how hard it was fought, turned into a pile of meat paste in an instant, everyone looked at each other in disbelief. Then everyone thought that the scale armor they had always wanted to get was gone, and they couldn't help but feel very sorry. However, some people thought that although the scale armor was extremely strong, it had a fatal weakness of being afraid of water, and they didn't feel that much regret. Immediately, Vipses, who looked very ugly, stepped forward and fiddled with the pile of meat for a while, but found no magic crystal core, not even bones, only a pile of loose meat, and he suddenly became angry. , this fight was in vain and nothing was gained. Ruian fell from the air and saw the characteristics of the ant monster that were different from other monsters, and he suddenly understood what was going on. There is no possibility for an ant to become a monster. It was only affected by the long-term influence of the nebula stone ore mother, and thus evolved to become larger and larger. The scales became harder and harder, finally possessing the strength of a level 9 monster. But it doesn¡¯t have the essence of a level 9 monster. Since the ant monster has no crystal core, he cannot perform magic and can only use his body's instinct to fight. Once the advantage of the scale armor is lost, he will have no choice but to be slaughtered. As for why the invulnerable scale armor is afraid of water and thus loses its invulnerability, Ruian can't explain it. He can only understand that the scale armor evolved from the nebula stone mother has the same shortcomings as the nebula stone: the nebula stone does not touch water at all. , it will lose its effectiveness. "Ryan. Why did you splash water to destroy the scales of the monster?" The angry Vipses couldn't seem to find a place to vent his anger, so he asked Ryan and looked at his appearance. If Ryan's answer dissatisfied him, then he said He might take his anger out on Ryan. Ryan frowned. Vipses was really unreasonable. Just now, everyone was unable to break through the scales of the Ant Monster and couldn't kill the Ant Monster. In the end, Ruian thought of a way to destroy the scales of the Ant Monster. Only then did the ant monster be killed. Although the scales were destroyed and everyone gained nothing, Ruian didn't do it on purpose. He only wanted to kill the ant monster. How can I think about preserving its scales? "I didn't know that its scales would be destroyed when exposed to water. If I had known, I wouldn't have done this." Ryan explained patiently, even though he had a grudge against Vipses. Not afraid of offending Vipses, but there are other level 9 sword masters at the moment. Ryan didn't want to offend anyone else. "It doesn't matter, this kind of scale armor will be scrapped as soon as it touches water. It's of no use to us if we get it." Cheshu Di comforted, appearing very reasonable, and others immediately expressed the same meaning. Although Ruian is not yet a level 9 sword master, his strength far exceeds that of a level 8 great swordsman. The level 9 professionals all regard Ruian as a person of equal strength, so they do not want to offend Ruian because of this matter. Vipseth did not dwell on this issue any longer. Firstly, this was what he had just blurted out. Now that he had thought about it clearly, he knew that it was unreasonable to blame Ryan so much. Secondly, he thought of another issue to trouble Ryan. "Ryan, what on earth did you do to this monster? Let it chase you so desperately." Vipseth's idea is simple: Ryan must have found some treasure, so if you force Ryan, maybe you can share some benefit. No one else spoke for a moment, and they seemed to have similar thoughts in their minds. "When I was digging the mine, I dug a passage. It turned out that this passage led to the cave of the Ant Monster. After I entered, I encountered the Ant Monster, and then I was hunted down." Ruian concealed the nebula stone mother, but there was no secret. The underground passage, because everyone will definitely go down to explore it next, this cannot be hidden. "Did you get something good?" Vipseth became aggressive. Ruian immediately denied it: "No!" In fact, in Ruian's heart, he was willing to share part of the nebula stone ore mother with everyone. After all, everyone helped him, but Vipses' aggressive attitude made him extremely disgusted. He couldn't Take it out and give it to Vipses. Ruian thought about it. After he went back, he would secretly share it.A portion of the nebula stone ore was given to Cheshu Di, Matthews and several other acquaintances. Vipseth naturally refused to accept it and continued to press Ryan, and then the two began to quarrel. Ryan is different from other level 8 great swordsmen. Vipses cannot threaten with force, so he can only talk. Finally, with the mediation of other level 9 professionals, the issue was settled. Next, everyone recalled the level 8 great swordsman who had left, and then entered the passage to search. As a result, apart from getting more nebula stones, there was no other gain. This made Vipses, who had always thought that Ryan got a better harvest, secretly harboring murderous intentions, and looked at Ryan with a murderous look in his eyes. After everyone stayed on the island for one more day and confirmed that there was no other harvest, they quickly left the island. Then everyone found several places nearby such as small islands where they could collect some resources, and everyone gained something. Of course, everyone will inevitably encounter some dangers, but fortunately everyone works together to deal with them and resolve these dangers without anyone dying. Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, it has been a month since everyone entered the secret realm, and more than five months have passed since the opening of the secret realm. In other words, everyone can stay in the secret realm for more than six months before they must leave the secret realm. "Okay, our current activities of collecting resources in the secret realm are over. Next, we have to actually enter the secret realm." Everyone gathered to discuss, and Cheshu Di made a suggestion, which was immediately agreed by everyone. Everyone knows that although they have entered the secret realm now, if strictly calculated, they have not actually entered the secret realm, because the real secret realm is a place where they can improve their strength. Of course, it is full of endless dangers. Even level 9 professions Anyone may die. The dangers they encountered now were much weaker than those wind blades and space cracks before entering the secret realm, and what they gained were only some rare resources in the outside world. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the Lost Palace next!¡± Cheshudi suggested, and everyone agreed immediately. The northern secret realm is very large, and it is absolutely impossible to explore it all in one year. Therefore, the best way for everyone is to follow the information recorded by the predecessors and explore some places where the predecessors have been. There are not many famous places that have been recorded, and the Lost Palace is one of them. This group of people from the Kaouya Empire will definitely go there to explore. Among the crowd, Lei Qi, who has always behaved very low-key, seemed very happy because his ancestor Saint Andy received the crystal core that enhanced his strength in the Lost Palace and was promoted to level 9 Sword Master. Lei Qi's biggest wish when he came to the northern secret realm was to get a similar crystal core, so when he heard that he was going to the Lost Palace next, he was much more excited than others. However, Ryan and Vipseth, who had read St. Andy's notes, were not very excited. Their pursuit was bigger. Afterwards, everyone figured out the direction and walked towards the north. They had no obvious map, but according to some records, they knew how to get to the Lost Palace. As long as they walked towards the north for a few days, they could see a mountain thousands of meters high. Then walk towards the mountain and climb to the top of the mountain to reach the Lost Palace. A few days later, everyone saw the mountain and immediately adjusted their direction and walked towards the mountain. However, they ran into trouble after walking for half a day. I saw a group of hundreds of poisonous bee monsters ahead, besieging another group of more than ten monsters. The Venomous Bee Monsters are not big in size, only over a foot long, but they are very fast, have very strange flight trajectories, and have very sharp attacks. In addition to their mouths that can bite, they can also launch wind blade-like magic attacks by flapping their wings. , and the tail shoots out poisonous stingers from time to time. On the other hand, there are only more than a dozen monsters in number, ranging in size from big to small. If compared with the poisonous bee monsters alone, they can directly kill the poisonous bee monsters in an instant, but when faced with the siege of hundreds of poisonous bee monsters, they He could only use magic to resist, but could not kill the poisonous bee monster for a while. "Ah! These besieged monsters are monsters from the Territory of Monsters. We encountered them when we came here. How come they were besieged by these poisonous bee monsters?" "The strength of these poisonous bee monsters is not very strong, probably only About 20% of the poisonous bee monsters are level 7 monsters, and the other poisonous bee monsters are all level 6 monsters. If we encounter them alone, each of us can easily kill them, but now there are so many of them. , we will be in trouble if we encounter them." "The stings shot by these poisonous bee monsters seem to be very poisonous. The attack power of those monsters that are shot is greatly reduced. I don't know if the antidote we brought has any effect on the stings. No effect?" Everyone stood more than two hundred meters away from the battlefield, watching the excitement and discussing, all looking like it had nothing to do with them. (To be continued)
