Without Mogensha as a scout, Sheyan had no way of obtaining more information from the outskirts. Thus, he could only walk side by side with Reef into this abandoned village, and started a hasty search.
After casually pushing open a door, a stench of rotting wood assaulted his nostrils. Instead, he could observe a verdant little grass growing out from the rotting floorboards. Above the little grass, there was a large hole in the roof, allowing the wind and rain to flow in and irrigate the area. Instead, the surrounding wooden walls obstructed the wind and rain from wreaking havoc. It seemed like this was the reason why the little grass was able to grow out.
Sheyan could sense that this little grass was definitely not ordinary. After plucking it, he received a notification.
[You obtained the Green Spot]
[Green Spot]
[Type: Herbal medicine]
[Description: This is a type of plant that grows in swamps. After years of growing in vile environments, it possesses the ability to resist such vile environments.]
[Use: After consuming this green herb, you will instantly recover 33% of your HP. For the next 100 minutes, you will obtain the ability to resist natural disasters.]
[Details: When this herb withers, its medicinal effects will vanish. Therefore, it is best to consume it within 48 hours.]
[Details: You may be able to concoct an even more potent medicine according to a certain ratio. Of course, the prerequisite is that you obtain other herbs.]
After obtaining the herb, Sheyan was about to speak. Instead, Reef strolled over and frowned.
"There's no one in this damned place. Something's not right."
Sheyan nodded and replied.
"That's right. Logically speaking, this place is the main route to the hinterland. No matter what, it should be guarded. No matter how primitive the Ndipaya barbarians are, they should still understand this logic. Their establishment of this village is proof. Just look at that exceedingly luxurious watchtower in the village. They have no reason to abandon it. "
Reef continued.
"After a hasty search, I discovered something. When those barbarians retreated, they seemed to have made preparations in an orderly manner. All their daily necessities were taken away in an orderly manner, leaving behind only their houses. Those white patterned pottery should be relatively valuable items, yet I didn't see a single one."
Sheyan pondered for a moment before taking a few steps forward. Suddenly, he saw something that looked like a dried leaf. He immediately picked it up, only to find that it was not a leaf, but a dried skin! Human skin!! His eyes flashed and he was about to speak when suddenly, a scream came from outside! The screams stopped abruptly, as if the neck of a dead chicken had been cut!
Reef instantly roared in fury.
"Not good, my slave."
As his voice faded, his entire body charged forward, raising his shield in front of him. This was his special ability, 'Courage'. The wooden building that he and Sheyan were in earlier was instantly smashed into smithereens, sending wooden shards flying everywhere! This was originally a building that had been decayed by the harsh natural environment to the point that it was on the verge of demolition. After such a heavy blow, it couldn't withstand it anymore. After shaking a few times, it collapsed with a loud bang, and a large cloud of smoke rose up.
However, on the neck of Reef's slave, was a strange beast the size of a washbasin!
This strange beast's body was striped with striking yellow and red stripes, and had centipede-like appendages. Yet judging from its external appearance, it resembled a vicious spider. Its eight claws were as sharp as a crab's, and it had a long scorpion-like tail. It was currently using its eight claws to clamp tightly around the slave's neck!
The slave's eyes had rolled back, and a huge lump had swelled up on his neck. He was probably stung by that strange beast! Sheyan swiftly flashed with his helmet's probing ability, and instantly obtained first-hand information.
[Mutated Arachnidacrab.]
“？？？？”
“？？？？”
[Description: A long, long time ago, when the Kijuju Marshland was still a bay, a species of Arachnidacrab thrived here, and ruled as the local tyrant. After undergoing tremendous geological changes, under the influence of various circumstances, the Arachnidacrab gradually mutated into an even more terrifying creature. They move about in groups, and possess high intelligence. They know how to pick a favorable environment to wage war, and cruelly hunt and slaughter any prey that intrudes into their territory!]
Although he had only obtained the most basic first-hand information, Sheyan instantly realized something.
"They move about in groups!!"
He immediately shouted out.
"Careful! Everyone retreat to the building on my left at once. Mbenga, take them there at once! Reef and I will cover the rear! "
Reef brandished his lightsaber, as he slashed towards the mutated Arachnidacrab that was clinging onto the slave's neck. Instead, the creature retracted its eight legs, and abruptly shot out to evade. At this moment, Sheyan realized, there was shockingly a transparent silk thread attached to its buttocks!
With a wave of his hand, Reef blessed that unlucky slave with his' Faith-guard 'ability. Simultaneously, he grabbed him and tossed him towards the east. That was the building Sheyan had requested to enter, the largest and sturdiest wooden hut in the entire abandoned village. Then, he shouted for the other slaves to follow him into temporary shelter.
Sheyan took a deep breath. His perceptive sense was much stronger than Reef's, and he could distinctly sense rustling sounds echoing in from all directions of the village. They were rapidly approaching! This time, they were in deep trouble. These mutated Arachnidacrab definitely weren't few in number!
Sheyan and Reef stood back to back vigilantly, as they swiftly retreated into the largest wooden hut. This should've been the place where the Ndipaya elders previously resided in. The embers of the fire pit were still present, as the ash-grey ashes congealed into lumps, resembling human ashes. Sheyan probingly kicked a wooden wall that was pieced together with pillars, and nodded his head. It seemed like it could still withstand the torment, and wasn't something a creature of that size could easily break through. It seemed like even amongst these primitive people, the concept of social class was still deeply implemented, and the living conditions of the leaders were much more generous.
A pungent fishy stench once again permeated the air. One could distinctly observe a basketball sized oval-shaped bump protruding out from the soft and damp ground of the village covered with a layer of withered weeds. Mud, rotten leaves and weeds were sporadically flung out, as the bump protruded out rapidly. Evidently, something was traversing through the ground at high speed.
The meeting hall didn't have a door, yet Reef had already taken the lead and stood at the doorway. He raised his shield to cover his face, as though a single man could hold back ten thousand men. Sheyan stood behind him. Although the two of them already possessed sufficient resistance against the abnormal conditions of this world, they were still in the inner core region of the Kijuju Marshland. In other words, if the previous difficulty was' A ', it was very likely to be' A + 'now. If they were to proceed further, they would inevitably encounter a higher difficulty, perhaps even a terrifying'S' difficulty!
Observing those mutated Arachnidacrab frenziedly traversing underground, Sheyan was on high alert! Sheyan's heart was unprecedentedly solemn. In the past, Sheyan could often rely on the method of 'borrowing momentum' to deal with difficulties. For example, the Lord of the Rings world or the Avatar world. Yet now, Sheyan had absolutely no momentum to borrow! Nowhere to be found!
Prior to this, the greatest difficulty he faced was the 'B +' interstellar world, where he had to face off against the personal guards of the Blade Queen. At that time, he still had the assistance of the Black base arachnid hydralisk and zerglings. But now? In this' A + 'difficulty world, he only had Reef's three slaves as external reinforcements. One of them appeared to be crippled, and even the core of the trio, Mogensha, had long since lost his battle prowess and was forced out of this world.
"What should I do?" Such a thought rapidly flashed through Sheyan's mind.
At this moment, the ravenous mutated Arachnidacrab had discovered the whereabouts of their prey. Nimbly and swiftly, they encircled their prey beneath the soft and damp soil. Within their massive abdomen, amide and cyanide compounds were rapidly secreted out by their glands, fusing together to form digestive enzymes. They awaited for their razor-sharp venomous fangs to pierce into their prey's skin, penetrate into the rosy flesh layer, and inject them in. Numbing the nerves, they would dissolve all edible parts into a yellowish white liquid. Finally, they would use their mouthparts to suck in satisfaction.
"Pu, pu!" Dried leaves and soil swirled in the air. Under the urging of their appetites, these strange creatures started to work hard. At least four mutated Arachnidacrab shot out from the ground, extending their long and sharp legs in the air. Behind their buttocks was a sparkling fine thread. Their target was none other than Reef, who was obstructing the entrance of the hut!
Reef was long prepared. Aiming at one of the mutated Arachnidacrab, he slashed out with his saber. Simultaneously, his dark-gold shield blocked in front of him! Radiance radiated in all directions. Even if those three mutated Arachnidacrab had a tough outer shell and sharp venomous fangs, they absolutely couldn't chew through the shield. Instantly, their heads spun as they tumbled backwards.
Concurrently, Sheyan didn't retreat but advanced instead. His right hand shielded his eyes and other vital parts of his face, as he leapt towards the mutated Arachnidacrab slashed by Reef. His left hand chopped down with his saber!
"Kacha!" A crisp sound rang out. This strange creature was clearly unable to withstand the formidable might of '+ 7 West'. Green juice splashed out after it was struck, and a large chunk of its hard shell was dented. Saliva even seeped out from the cracks. It looked just like a Yangchen Lake Hairy Crab that had been stepped on by someone. It appeared to be half-dead, and one more chop and it would definitely perish!
Yet facing such a situation, Sheyan's expression changed …... it was even uglier than before he chopped down with his saber!!
*****
First of all, I apologize to everyone. I'm late for the blackout today.
Next, I'll interact with you guys. Why did Sheyan's expression turn so ugly after seeing how easy the mutated Arachnidacrab was to kill?
Oh, finally, I want to apply for a leave of absence. My writing has been getting worse for the past two days, so I need to sort out my thoughts. Tomorrow, 11th May, I'll stop updating for a day.
