Chapter 107
In the middle of the dense tentacles, there is an oval tube that can spray highly corrosive acid.
The barbs and acid on the tentacles allow them to easily dig through hard boulders. Almost all the holes in the monster nests are their masterpieces.
Drilling worms!
This is the name given to this kind of monster by humans.
Their strength is not very strong, with an average of about level 30, but... there are too many of them.
The place in front of him was almost full of burrowing worms. The ugly and disgusting appearance did not affect Qin Chu at all. In Qin Chu's eyes, this was just a pile of small experience packs.
"Then... swallow it..."
Taking a deep breath, Qin Chu's face was full of smiles. He opened his arms, and countless slender and translucent tentacles like slimes appeared on his body out of thin air, extending rapidly to the surroundings.
As soon as the strange tentacles wrapped around a burrowing worm, the effect of the Devourer immediately began to take effect. In less than two seconds, the burrowing worm's power had been drained by Qin Chu, and its body quickly became shriveled and fell to the ground and broke into powder.
In a short time, the surroundings were cleared. Seeing that the burrowing worm in front of him was still wriggling and slowly crawling towards him, Qin Chu was impatient to wait for these things to get closer. He took the initiative to walk forward, and only shriveled corpses were left wherever he went.
The eldest prince wanted to fake the monster's release and put all the blame for assassinating his fiancée Antasia on the monster.
The military camp next to Conrad was also on high alert. The nest was blown up, the seal was broken, and a large number of monsters would soon come out.
But no one knew that no monster would leave this nest, and all the monsters were absorbed by Qin Chu as experience packs.
Although the gains from each monster were very small, the feeling of his own strength slowly increasing every second simply fascinated Qin Chu. He was like a greedy glutton, devouring everything.
At some point, Qin Chu's figure had even appeared in front of the entrance that connected the deepest part of the nest and the abyss.
It was a huge purple-black hole that led to an unknown world. A steady stream of monsters came out of this hole. The monsters that appeared here were no longer just burrowing worms. More and more other monsters began to appear, including some with quite good strength.
The monsters at the other end of the entrance seemed to have noticed that the seal of the nest was broken, and a large number of monsters swarmed out. They couldn't wait to rush out from here and destroy the outside world to their heart's content, but unfortunately, only destruction was waiting for them.
Even those powerful monsters would be severely injured by Ekaterina, Antia and Violet when they just appeared, and then thrown to Qin Chu as a large experience pack.
Qin Chu didn't know how much power he had drained from the monsters. He only knew that the monsters' corpses had filled the cave, and he even had to assign one person to clean up the corpses.
Bang!
A huge troll with a height of more than nine meters had just stuck its huge round head out of the entrance. Before it even had time to get up from the ground, Violet's body fell from the sky with a gust of wind.
With a dull sound, the slender legs with delicate insteps hit the troll's head heavily, and the hard head of this powerful monster with a level of more than 75 was deeply sunken in an instant.
The legs could not withstand Violet's power and broke with a click. The body knelt directly on the ground, and the mouth on the head covered with tumors suddenly opened and screamed miserably.
The next second, the Devourer wrapped it up like jelly, and instantly absorbed the troll's body, leaving only a huge dried corpse standing at the entrance of the cave.
With the death of the troll, the monsters in the abyss at the other end of the entrance seemed to have noticed that there was a terrible hunter who was constantly hunting the lives of the monsters.
The endless tide of monsters came to an abrupt end.
Level: Level 61
Class: Brave
Strength: 527
Stamina: 466
Agility: 671
Spirit: 1802
Defense: 958
Charm: 6
Qin Chu checked his attributes and found that there was indeed a huge improvement in all aspects. As expected, the Devourer was the fastest way to improve strength.
But Qin Chu could also clearly notice that the growth rate was getting slower and slower.
He didn't know how long he had stayed in this darkness. He had slaughtered at least 8,000 monsters, but the final level was only raised from level 47 to level 61.
It always felt that the rate of improvement was a bit unimaginable, and it was getting slower and slower as time went on.
"Saya, are you stealing my experience?" Qin Chu scratched his hair and asked suspiciously.
"Ha, how is it possible? Why would this witch steal your experience? Don't talk nonsense."
Saya answered immediately, but there was a little bit of guilt in her voice.
Seeing that Qin Chu just asked casually and didn't delve too deeply, Saya and Antia both breathed a sigh of relief, and even some existence in their bodies seemed to be happy and fortunate.
He waited at the entrance of this nest, and he didn't know how long it had passed. A humanoid creature with two long curved horns on his head and huge bat wings on his back came out of the entrance. He had a handsome face that was so beautiful that it was weird, and he had an evil charm.
In a flash, Qin Chu, Antia, Violet, Ekaterina, and Shaye all focused their attention on this creature.
This strange demon shuddered.
The next moment, his handsome face turned extremely pale, and without a fraction of a second of hesitation, he turned his head and went back into the abyss. Then, even the purple-black entrance in front of him was completely closed and disappeared.
The few people were left looking at each other. Ekaterina didn't even have time to raise her heavy sword, Antia didn't have time to swing her spear, and Violet's fist was still in the air...
As a result, this demon, who was obviously many times stronger than the previous monster, actually ran away!
Ran away?
Among monsters, the closer the appearance is to humans, the higher the rank.
If Qin Chu remembered correctly, the one just now should be one of the seventeen abyss demons under the command of the demon king Nag, and his level should be close to level ninety. If he could keep that guy, the gains would be absolutely exaggerated.
Unfortunately, the higher the rank of the monster, the higher the intelligence. This guy escaped too quickly, and was so neat and tidy that he didn't drag his feet at all. He was worthy of being a demon general. He even closed the entrance of the nest directly, completely cutting off Qin Chu's thoughts.
Qin Chu had to embark on the road back.
Opening the magic scroll, a huge magic circle appeared under the feet of Qin Chu, Violet and Ekaterina. With a bright light, the figures of several people suddenly disappeared. When they appeared on the ground again, they had left the cave and were surrounded by a dense jungle.
It was already late at night, and two full moons cast silver light in the sky.
Just as Qin Chu was judging his current location, he suddenly heard the sound of dense metal collisions. He subconsciously walked towards the direction of the sound. Before long, he saw dozens of killers in black tights in the dense forest, surrounding the six people, and the daggers in their hands kept making fierce attacks. Some black-clothed people on the periphery held magic wands, accompanied by surging magic, lightning, ice, and flames scattered from the sky.
With a hiss, a man in armor was struck by lightning, and his body instantly became paralyzed. The next second, four or five daggers pierced his body almost at the same time. With a puffing sound, his throat, heart, and abdomen were all torn open with long wounds. With blood splattering, the figure fell directly to the ground.
The remaining four guards quickly changed their formation, back to back, while resisting attacks from all directions, while guarding a woman in the middle.
It was a beautiful girl with long hair like ice, shining with mysterious brilliance under the moonlight. The ice-white long skirt wrapped her curvy body. Her skin was as delicate and white as ice and snow. Her pair of ice-blue eyes were brighter than gems, making the bright moon in the sky lose its color.
Perhaps because of the overdraft of magic power, her cheeks became paler and paler. Her white hands clenched tightly, but she couldn't squeeze out any magic power.
So beautiful!
Even though Qin Chu was surrounded by many outstanding women, he could not help but exclaim when he saw this girl.
Her beauty was enough to eclipse Saint Rossweisse.
There were a lot of corpses scattered around, including those of black-clad killers, the girl's maids, and the girl's guards.
The situation was obviously not good for the girl. There were only four most loyal and powerful guards left by her side, but these four guards were already covered with wounds and obviously could not hold on for long, and the opponent's strength was ten times greater than hers.
But even in a desperate situation, the girl still did not lose her elegance and dignity. Her cold eyes swept over the killers who kept rushing up around her. The girl's ice-white lips finally opened, and her voice was as crisp as ice cracking:
"I am Antasia Masefield, the princess of the Duchy of Ice. Who are you? Why did you attack me? Have you considered the consequences?"
It was indeed her... the eldest prince's fiancée.
I didn't expect to meet this pathetic girl after walking out of the monster's lair.
In the first round, Qin Chu didn't have much communication with Antasia. He only met her once at the banquet, and then Antasia committed suicide that night.
This is a very beautiful and pitiful woman.
"Consequences? No consequences." A killer with a veil on his face, standing at the back of all the black-clad men, made a ruthless mockery. He was the leader of these dead men.
"Don't struggle anymore, death is your only destination."
"No one will come to save you."
At this moment, Antia, who was beside Qin Chu, suddenly frowned, and the expression on her face became extremely weird.
A few seconds later, Antia suddenly looked up at Qin Chu: "Save her."
Huh?
Qin Chu was stunned, and he didn't quite understand Antia's reaction. Antia rarely took the initiative.
"She and I..." Antia thought very hard, but it was difficult for her to describe what it felt like: "She and I, there seems to be some connection..."
Chapter 4 is done, exhausted.
Chapter 140: Antia and Antasia (1)
Antia’s reaction shocked Qin Chu.
Since Antia followed him, apart from following his orders, she would at most appear and act as a guard when there might be danger.
She didn’t care about anything in this world.
At first, she would sit on the windowsill and gaze at the city outside, but soon she lost interest. There was no one in the world that Antia could take seriously except Qin Chu.
This was the first time she took the initiative to ask Qin Chu to save someone... Although with Antia's strength, she could do it herself. However, Antia did not do so. She subconsciously obeyed Qin Chu's orders. She would not do anything before Qin Chu ordered her to save people.
However, in those blue eyes, Qin Chu could feel the plea.
Qin Chu stared at Antia, and after a few seconds, he turned his eyes back to the battlefield.
Antasia. Maysfield!
The fiancée of the eldest prince Lance.
This woman was so beautiful that Qin Chu felt that even the eldest prince Lance was not worthy of her!
She was elegant and dignified. She was chosen by Wordsworth as his son's princess as soon as she was born, and she was waiting to complete the wedding after she came of age. Therefore, the education she received since childhood was different from that of ordinary noble girls. She learned the etiquette of being a princess, and her heart was always instilled with loyalty and love for her husband.
Although she had never met him, she loved the man who was destined to be her husband in the future.
However, her love was not rewarded. On the night when she arrived at the Royal City of Orwell, she was publicly humiliated by the eldest prince at the welcoming banquet and even slapped.
After apologizing gracefully, Antasia left the banquet and committed suicide by taking the night-sleeping flower late at night.
The woman who should have become a peerless princess died like this.
Looking at it, Qin Chu suddenly had a strange feeling. He always felt that Antasia's face seemed to be inexplicably similar to Antia.
Thinking of what Antia had just said, Qin Chu's pupils suddenly contracted: "Violet..."
"What is Antia's full name?"
Antia, the Valkyrie of the Nation, the empire promoted her legend, which seemed to be deliberate. In these legends, there was only the name Antia, but not her full name.
Violet narrowed her eyes slightly and gave Qin Chu an answer: "Antia. Macefield!"
Hiss!
What a vicious method.
In a flash, Qin Chu's body was covered with goose bumps.
He instantly understood how vicious and cruel the emperor of the Orwell Empire had used to deal with Antia a thousand years ago.
This cruelty lasted for thousands of years.
Antia's strength was too strong, so strong that the emperor at that time was afraid. They used insidious means to plant terrible poison for Antia, and then entangled Antia with chains, and then burned Antia in the fire. Finally, they sealed Antia's remains in the stone statue and engraved a vicious seal to bind Antia's soul.
And this is only part of the emperor's means.
He nominally rewarded the head of the Macefield family at that time as the Grand Duke, becoming the most distinguished noble besides the emperor, but drove the Macefield family to the extreme north where ice and snow covered the sky.
The emperor feared Antia's power, but envied Antia's power.
He hoped that the Abelsheen family could also have such a powerful warrior. He let his son marry a woman from the Macefield family, hoping to obtain the excellent talent inherited from the Macefield family bloodline.
With the imperial power and powerful military force as a backing, he forced the Macefield family and the Abelsheen family to marry for generations. On the eve of each change of imperial power, the Macefield family would offer the best girl.
The whole process lasted for thousands of years.
Perhaps, the bloodline of the Macefield family can really inherit excellent talents. In these thousands of years, the emperors of the Orwell Empire, whether they were smart and capable or incompetent, stood at the top of the empire.
Even Wordsworth was the same.
And now, Antasia Macefield, the descendant of Antia, has to be sacrificed to the eldest prince Lance like a sacrifice.
Antia saved the country, but brought a thousand years of disaster to his family.
The thoughts of these big men are really twisted and creepy.
Antia had long lost her memory and had no reaction to almost everything in the world. She became interested in Qin Chu because Qin Chu had the power of life.
