Chapter 1058 Cruelty

I guess it might take some time for Lillea to put on makeup, so I sneaked over to the airship base and ordered Kuroge beef jerky.

It took forty minutes to run all the way back. When I opened the door, there were only a few nobles left in the hall.

"Where are the people?" I touched my hair and said to myself.

Taylor raised the bottle and pointed to the door: "I went out ten minutes ago."

"Hey, these people don't know how to wait for me!"

I complained and ran quickly towards the dungeon.

On the way from the 15th floor to the 16th floor, I suddenly found an unusually large Amon. Moreover, it looked very familiar. It was the one that Emily killed before!

No, I should say another one with exactly the same appearance and courage.

Around Amon, several adventurer teams surrounded him and engaged in wheel battles. A dozen elf warriors methodically attracted Amon's hatred and consumed his physical strength in a kite-flying mode.

However, Giant Amon is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Every move and every move will cause at least slight injuries to the elves touched by it. Occasionally, there will be moderate injuries or even serious injuries. This makes the surrounding auxiliary priests almost momentarily injured. No pause.

Fortunately, they were very strong and there were no major casualties, which was a blessing.

After watching their cooperation for a while, I continued to run towards the sixteenth floor.

As my vision brightened, I entered the sixteenth floor.

As soon as I found Phoenix and the others, I saw her and Cagalli forcefully pull down a walking piranha, and let the others hack it away.

When I saw this scene before, I still had the heart to stop them and persuade them to use proper fighting methods to deal with the monsters. But when I learned that the efficiency of this method of spawning monsters was actually several times that of ordinary methods, I gave up the idea of ​​persuading them.

To spawn monsters, you must use the most direct and effective method, whether it is an elegant method or a rough method, as long as it can kill the monster, it is a good method!

Along the way, we killed more than a dozen walking piranhas. Finally, all the walking piranhas stayed away from each other. Some even died generously with their flower crowns without hesitation, just so that they could die more. Have dignity.

At this moment, I knew that the sixteenth floor could no longer satisfy us.

So, I led the crowd into the seventeenth floor.

Before entering the portal, I looked back around. The walking piranha I saw scurried away like a plague god. I was paralyzed. This was the first time I had been disliked by a monster like this!

The seventeenth floor is a desert, and the light on the top is as dazzling as the sun outside the underground city.

On the sand, huge insects were crawling slowly. Six thick insect legs stepped on the sand, making a crunching sound, which was very unpleasant.

The number of elf teams on this level is obviously much smaller than the previous levels. I don’t know if it’s because of the hot climate or because of limitations in strength.

"This is an earth-walking insect. It releases electric magic. The current is very large. A complete hit is enough to stun an adult man. Although it moves slowly, the frequency of the current it releases is very fast. It is almost the same as the frequency of Lily's magic missiles. Not much."

In the team, Yura conscientiously spreads the basic knowledge of groundworms, just like a dedicated teacher.

Everyone, including Godot, was listening carefully to Yura's 'teaching'.

I also wanted to squeeze into the crowd and act as a student for a while, but unexpectedly, I was called out by Yura.

Yula said: "There is only so much basic knowledge, and it can be popularized. The rest can only be concluded through actual combat. Xiaoyi, please help everyone demonstrate how to effectively kill the ground insects."

"Why do you need me to demonstrate?" I asked puzzledly: "As a magician, wouldn't it be easier for you to clean up the worms?"

Yura smiled slightly: "I will demonstrate it later, you come first."

"Okay." I muttered, pulled out my Naotachi, and quickly ran towards one of the ground insects.

"Why don't you use me?" Odachi said dissatisfied: "I'm obviously sharper and more reliable than this thing!"

"Yes, yes, everything you said is right, but how many of us in our team use such long weapons?"

"Tsk, every inch is long and every inch is strong. They don't even understand this principle. What a bunch of laymen!" Odachi began to ridicule Fenghuang and the others again.

I ignored it and continued toward my goal.

Staring at the target's two tentacles with all my concentration, I began to count in my mind: "One, two"

"three!"

At the moment when I counted to 'three', I jumped to the left. At the same time, a crackling electric ball hit me where I was just now.

There was a sharp scream, and a small crater was opened in the sand.

No matter how many times I watch it, the scene of the electric ball exploding is always shocking.

I regained my composure and continued to approach the groundworm.

I dodged six electric balls in a row. Before the seventh electric ball could condense, I raised my sword and aimed at one of its joints and struck it down.

There was a crisp sound, and the two thick legs on one side of the groundworm were cut off.

As its fat body fell to the ground, its condensed electric ball instantly dissipated.

At the same time, my sword struck its thick leg on the other side again.

There were four more crunching sounds, and the ground crawling insects turned into insect sticks.

Until then, I breathed a sigh of relief, stood beside it, raised my arm and raised the knife, aimed at the neck, and slashed hard.

The groundworm trembled a few times, turned into a black mist, and disappeared.

Walking slowly back to the team, I asked, "Did you see everything clearly?"

Lili and Lizi were seen with tears in their eyes, and even Phoenix looked like he was about to cry.

I had a question mark on my face: "What's wrong with you?"

Phoenix flattened his mouth and said, "That bug is so pitiful."

I asked Lily and Lizzy again: "Are you two pitying the bugs too?"

The two lolita nodded.

I sighed, feeling so tired.

"Isn't there a simpler way?" Cagalli asked.

"It's impossible," I said, "There is a very hard carapace on the back of the earthworm. Even if you use combat skills to attack, it may not be fatal with one hit. Also, despite its slow movement speed, its turning speed is very slow." It's amazingly fast. If you don't take off your legs, it will probably hit you with an electric ball while you are retreating."

"But I think you just killed it with one blow?" Lilea asked.

"There is a very thin weak spot between its neck, about the width of a finger. As long as it looks at this spot, it will be killed instantly, but who can guarantee that every blow will hit there?"

No one said anything now. No wonder, no matter how accurate the shooter is, there will always be mistakes. Just one small mistake may bring danger to the team.

Then, I comforted Phoenix and the two lolita: "If you think my method is cruel, it's because you haven't seen the scene of earthworms eating people. They usually use electric balls to roast people until they are cooked." Tear off the cooked human flesh bit by bit and eat it. Sometimes, the skin is cooked, but the person is still alive, just like this, letting out heart-rending screams while being slowly eaten. That kind of despair is the real thing. It’s called cruelty!”
