The subtle sound was getting closer and closer.
Ma Wen knew that this was the sound of the Claw Terror's front limbs digging into the rocks.
Only when Listen's level reached a certain level could he detect the Claw Terror before it discovered him.
Ma Wen listened silently for a while and quickly made a judgment.
"Only one. It should be sent out to hunt alone."
"It's easy if it's an ordinary Claw Terror."
However, Ma Wen didn't let his guard down. This creature was a terrifying predator in the underground. They had vulture-like heads, front limbs curled into hooks, and hind limbs thick and strong. They also had very sharp claws. Claw Terror could walk upright and climb on rocks. They had a very hard carapace on their back, which was the natural enemy of Rogues!
If it was an ordinary Thief, he probably wouldn't even be able to break the defense of a Claw Terror.
If he was scratched by its hooks, it was very likely that he would die on the spot.
Although Ma Wen had a lot of combat experience, he couldn't let his guard down.
Thinking of this, he took out a wild boar that had been tied up in advance from the paper crane and threw it on the ground.
The wild boar was still alive! This was the mystery of origami.
It was tied up by a rope and could only struggle in vain.
This struggle could create a certain amount of movement and attract the Claw Terror.
After doing all this, Ma Wen activated Hide and lurked at the side.
Claw Terror had a unique sound wave detection ability. This creature could determine the enemy's position through high-frequency sound waves.
However, Ma Wen hid behind a huge rock. The rock's thickness was enough to block his sound wave detection.
Soon, a shadow quickly appeared at the end of the cave.
A Claw Terror that was alone.
Ma Wen held his breath. There weren't many opportunities left for him. The Claw Terror's weakness was only its heart and head. However, if he wanted to attack these two places, he would face the Claw Terror's terrifying hooks. Only by grasping the opportunity to attack could he solve the problem relatively safely.
…
The wandering Claw Terror quickly discovered the struggling wild boar.
Its extraordinary intelligence prevented it from immediately approaching. Instead, it began to evaluate the strength of this prey.
He had never seen such a strange creature.
Because this wild boar was brought from the surface by Ma Wen, there was no such creature in the underground world!
Even if there were, they would have gone extinct a long time ago because they couldn't adapt to the harsh environment.
The Claw Terror hesitated for a moment.
And this slight hesitation was exactly what Ma Wen wanted!
He quietly took out a ball-shaped object and gently rolled it out.
Although this movement was very small, it was immediately captured by the Claw Terror!
It suddenly sprang over, opened its sharp claws, and pounced on the ball-shaped object.
However, in an instant, the spherical object exploded with a scorching light!
[Blazing Sun Magic Ball]!
It contained a large amount of Sun Fire magic energy, which was the nemesis of many underground creatures.
The Claw Terror couldn't avoid it in time, so it let out a chirping sound.
Its claws were madly smashing on the magic ball out of fear.
However, in the next second, the Dazzling Sun Orb that was pierced immediately exploded!
Boom!
A slight sound rang out in the cave.
The burst of Sun Fire energy crazily overflowed, illuminating the entire cave. The Claw Terror's forelimbs were directly melted to the point of paralysis. It frantically raised its head, trying to avoid the damage of the Sun Fire magic.
After three seconds, the energy in the Dazzling Sun Orb was completely released, leaving only sparks flying in the cave.
The Claw Terror was seriously injured and tried to escape.
However, at this time, Ma Wen who had been hiding finally moved.
Now is the time!
The Melody of the Night was quietly activated. Ma Wen's figure was like a ghost, appearing in the path of the Claw Terror's escape!
His scimitar was like cutting tofu, easily cutting off the Claw Terror's pair of forelimbs!
With an easy dodge, he avoided the Claw Terror's counterattack. In the next second, Ma Wen's scimitar fiercely slashed at the Claw Terror's neck!
With both scimitars, the Claw Terror that was seriously injured by the Dazzling Sun Orb could not resist at all.
In just five breaths, its head was cut off by Ma Wen!
However, the sound of the fight had already spread.
Soon, Ma Wen heard a burst of rustling sounds.
At least three Claw Terror were madly approaching. They did not hide their whereabouts at all, but directly launched support to their companions.
"They'll arrive in half a minute at most."
Ma Wen laughed, this was exactly what he wanted!
At this moment, he did not care about the Claw Terror's corpse, turned around and hid behind the giant rock.
In his hands, one on the left and one on the right, he once again took out two Dazzling Sun Orbs!
This was Ma Wen's battle plan. Using the giant rock to block the Claw Terror's perception, and then throwing money at it!
That's right, throwing money.
If there were any Magi present, they would probably pinch Ma Wen's neck and scold him for recklessly wasting natural resources!
Was this how the Dazzling Sun Orb was used?!
This was used to enhance the strength of Dazzling Sun spells. It was a tool for some Magi and Priests to cast spells.
However, in Ma Wen's hands, it was used as a one-time consumable.
It was completely used as a grenade!
The production process of each Dazzling Sun Orb was very complicated, and it required the cooperation of high-grade Alchemists and Magi.
Even in the entire South, the number of Dazzling Sun Orbs that flowed out from the Three Ring High Tower or other Magi organizations each year did not exceed 100.
As for Ma Wen, he used his connections with Hathaway to buy six Dazzling Sun Orbs from the Tower of Ashes and the Craftsman Tower alone.
Each Dazzling Sun Orb cost 1,000 Magi Gold Coins!
This was the result of a discount for Hathaway's sake.
Six Dazzling Sun Orbs meant 6,000 Magi Gold Coins! This money was on credit with Ma Wen.
Each Dazzling Sun Orb could be dismantled into two Dragon Tooth Cannons.
However, Ma Wen did not feel bad about it.
He could just avoid ordinary Claw Terror. But this group of Claw Terror, he must get rid of them.
For the hot spring, any amount of money was worth it.
Because not only could it improve his physique, but it could also give him a fragment of the Earth Crystal!
Anyway, Ma Wen was already in debt, so he did not care about spending more money on this aspect.
Money and combat power.
In a sense, it could be equated.
Especially when it was associated with Magi, Alchemists, and other professions.
At this time, the suffering of a lone ranger was reflected. No matter how rich a lone ranger was, it could not be compared to a lord who sat on an entire territory. Ma Wen had a territory as a foundation and a gold mine as a guarantee, so it was very easy to borrow some money.
…
The Claw Terror's footsteps were light, and the three monsters quickly approached the place where their companion fell.
One of the Clawed Terror Monsters was obviously bigger than the other two.
This was a female Claw Terror, the leader of the entire family.
This kind of creature was a matriarchal group. Usually, a female Claw Terror would lead a few male Claw Terror, and the strength of the former was often greater than the latter.
Ma Wen clearly remembered that the number of Claw Terror in this nest was four, one female and three males. He had just killed one, and the rest were here.
So he did not hesitate to throw out the two priceless Flaming Sun Magic Balls, and then retreated!
In the next second, just as Marvin had expected, the Claw Terror would subconsciously use its claws to scratch any ball-shaped object!
The Flaming Sun Magic Ball made of glass could not withstand their claws, and naturally a hole would appear.
The Flaming Sun Magic Ball itself was a very unstable alchemy item. Once a hole appeared, the Flaming Sun energy inside would slightly explode!
Light overflowed.
Ma Wen estimated the time, and taking advantage of the temporary dissipation of the Flaming Sun ability, he rushed out like lightning amidst the shocked and angry cries of the three Claw Terror!
After throwing money, the next step was to harvest!
…
The four Claw Terror gave Ma Wen nearly 10,000 experience, but this experience was nothing compared to the Flaming Sun Magic Ball that Ma Wen threw out.
In his previous life, Ma Wen fought with this female Claw Terror for a long time, and he even died once before he finally found an opening to kill her.
At that time, it should have been Ma Wen's most destitute and dejected time.
Now that he thought about it, that time was really lonely and bitter ….
Now that he had to start all over again, the rich and overbearing Ma Wen immediately reversed the situation, and directly sent the Claw Terror family to hell.
The Claw Terror did not have anything valuable on them, so Ma Wen casually cut off a piece of their scale, and then activated Night Tracking.
Through this skill, he could track the Claw Terror's nest.
And that hot spring was right next to their nest.
…
In the dark nest, some clean white eggs were quietly arranged.
These were the eggs of the Claw Terror, but apart from being edible, they had no other use …
Ma Wen's attitude was that no matter how thin a mosquito's leg was, it was still meat, so he kept all these eggs.
He fumbled around the edge of the Claw Terror's nest for a while, and finally found the hidden hot spring.
Although it was called a hot spring, it was actually a small pool of water. The water temperature was very high, and there was a piece of Earth Crystal at the bottom of the pool, but he needed to dive very deep to get it.
Since Ma Wen had come, he was naturally fully prepared.
He had also brought two bottles of the expensive Underwater Breathing Potion with him.
He immediately went into battle lightly, drank the Underwater Breathing Potion, and then jumped into the hot spring.
He had to get the Earth Crystal fragment first.
…
In the dark path, a standard scout team was constantly fumbling forward.
"There's a nest of Claw Terror in front, we have to take a detour."
A sweet female voice sounded.
The rest of the team nodded.
This was a group of Dark Elf Warriors!
To put it simply, they were Drow.
The Drow was a matriarchal society, and in this typical scout team, the leader was also a female.
But at this moment, a male Drow suddenly exclaimed, "I found a nest of Claw Terror corpses here!"
"Corpses of Claw Terror?!"
The female Drow was surprised, "Where did this force come from, to actually be able to destroy this nest of Claw Terror?"
"Wait … according to the traces, there was only one person!"
The male Dark Elf said.
The female was silent for a moment, then decisively said, "Greg, Amir, come with me. The rest of you, search the vicinity. "
"See if there are any traces of suspicious creatures!"
