Chapter 111: Unstoppable

The staff swung down, and the huge meteorite crashed onto the narrow steps. In an instant, the hot air swept past. Countless sandworm larvae burst one after another, splashing yellow and green liquid all over the ground.

"Let's go." Gross raised his chin slightly, full of vigor and vitality.

Along the way, he was either confused by Lan Wu's thinking or suppressed by the strength of the five Dark Crows. But now he has ushered in the occasion that the fire mage is best at.

Among the three series of mage skills, the lightning system has high damage and fast formation, but the clearing effect is not strong. The ice system is mainly controlled, and the damage is average, but the skill that can be learned at level 30, the ice ball, is a good clearing skill. The fire system takes into account both damage and range. A meteorite falls, and all living things within a radius of 20 to 30 meters are destroyed. Of course, this refers to the current environment.

Before the sandworm larvae grow into adults, they are quite fragile. Nothing else is needed, just the hot airflow generated by the meteorite is enough to clean it up. The sandworm larvae that were hit by the meteorite turned into ashes directly.

Gross rarely encountered such an occasion suitable for him to perform, so he walked in front to lead the way. When the magic power in his body recovered, he waved his staff. Another meteorite fell more than ten meters ahead, and immediately cleared a large open space again.

Seeing Gross leading the way in high spirits, Lan Wu was also happy to be idle. He just signaled the four people of Rodament to complete the possession, guard around him and Claudia, and followed Gross down the stairs.

The stairs were very long and seemed to have no end. The sandworm larvae seemed endless, pouring out from the darkness in front. Even if the sea of ​​fire was still raging in front, they came fearlessly.

"We are almost there." Gross waved his staff again, and his expression became very solemn.

Lan Wu looked forward past Gross. The size of the sandworm larvae rushing into the sea of ​​fire had doubled at some point, like a small basin.

These sandworm larvae have doubled in size, and their vitality and fire resistance have also increased a lot. Even in the raging sea of ​​fire, they can still struggle forward for several seconds before being burned and exploded by the flames.

Lan Wu pondered for a moment, took out the Gray Short Stick of the Root of Misfortune that he had not used for a long time from the space bag, and gently tapped Gross's shoulder: "This is for you."

"Hmm?" Gross didn't understand, just impatient that Lan Wu disturbed him to stop the sea of ​​​​worms. But when he saw the Gray Short Stick of the Root of Misfortune in Lan Wu's hand, his breathing suddenly became rapid.

Dark Gold Short Stick.

Gross's mind was in a trance. This is the weapon he has always pursued. Even though he is one of the top figures in Lu Gaoyin, he has not been able to get a dark gold staff suitable for him. Since he saw this dark gold short stick in the Rogue Camp, he has been eager to get this dark gold weapon. It's a pity that after using all means, this dark gold short stick is not destined for him at all.

But now, this weapon that he had dreamed of getting was right under his nose.

"Give... give it to me?" Gross was a little incoherent. His mind was blank, and he didn't understand why Lan Wu gave him this dark gold short stick at this time.

"It's for you to use temporarily, thank you." Lan Wu smiled and stuffed the Gray Short Stick of the Root of Misfortune into Gross's hand.

For no reason, Gross felt relieved. Yes, a dark gold weapon is priceless, and it would be impossible for him to give away a dark gold weapon so generously. But he didn't know that Lan Wu had already given away two dark gold weapons.

Feeling the complicated patterns on the Gray Short Stick of the Root of Misfortune, Gross was full of confidence. Strictly speaking, the attributes of this short stick are not particularly top-notch. For him, +2 heating is the most effective.

As a level 26 mage, each skill point for each level up is very precious, and basically all of them are used in the main skills. Heating, the mage's favorite skill, can't be upgraded to too many levels. The short stick comes with +2 heating, which greatly increases the endurance time. This is a magical skill in the current environment without supplies.

With a swing of the short stick, the meteorite fell with a bang. Gross didn't bother to observe the sea of ​​​​worms in front of him, and closed his eyes to carefully experience the rapid recovery of mana. After a while, he opened his eyes, stepped forward gracefully into the sea of ​​​​fire, and swung the short stick again.

The huge sandworm exploded in the sea of ​​​​fire. Gross already had a bottom line in his heart. According to the current consumption, the mana he recovered can barely keep up with the skill consumption. Of course, the premise is not too frequent.

Gross was excited to experience the dark gold weapon, while Lan Wu stood quietly behind. The faint magic energy rose slowly from the insect corpses all over the ground, and finally gathered into wisps of black lines visible to the naked eye, rushing to sink into his body.

Countless magic energy poured in, and Lan Wu's mood was very complicated. Such an excellent experience-brushing occasion was wasted by himself, what a sin. If I had known this, I would not have let Rodament open any magic talisman for me.

The magic energy of a sandworm larva is very small, but there are so many of them. With so many worms, even if I can't level up ten times, there will be no shortage of good equipment. Maybe the base amount of magic energy is large, combined with the BUG attributes of the fifteen BUG amulets, it is really possible to explode a few more dark gold equipment.

If I get it, I am lucky, if I lose it, I am doomed.

This fully expresses Lan Wu's current mood. The magic energy was swallowed up completely, but the level did not change at all, and the skill level did not change significantly. Not even a gold coin was exploded, let alone equipment.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sandworm larvae were still scrambling to emerge from the darkness. Their size has unknowingly doubled again, like millstones. At this time, Gross' meteor clearing effect became less and less obvious.

These sandworms, which can be regarded as adults, poured into the sea of ​​​​fire. Although they were crackling with fire, they still rushed tenaciously for two or three meters before being burned and bursting. Only the sandworms hit by the meteorite will explode on the spot and turn into a pile of yellow and green scum.

"Leave?" Gross turned around, his eyes filled with questions unconsciously. Apparently Lan Wu took the initiative to lend him the short stick of Ash of Bane so that he could hold it short-handed, and Lan Wu unknowingly took the lead.

"Let's go." Lan Wu did not disappoint Gross. The latter didn't know that the reason why he was so bold was just because there were countless sandworms here.

There are sandworms here, so it is very likely that the mini-boss from the sandworm nest in the distant oasis in the game has somehow come here. A major weakness of this little BOSS is that it moves extremely slowly.

With a mobile turret like Gross, it shouldn't be too easy to deal with a small BOSS. Even this mini-BOSS has mutated, becoming stronger than usual and can be easily defeated.

As long as it's not that big bug like Duriel.

Gross was recognized by Lan Wu, and his confidence soared. He didn't react until then. Why am I so happy? He suddenly became frustrated and walked forward with his head buried in his chest.

The meteorite opened the way, Rodament and four other skeletons assisted, and occasionally Lan Wu's damage was added to deepen the curse. The three of them arrived at the bottom of the steps without much hindrance.

This is still a narrow aisle. There are still large and small reliefs engraved on the walls on both sides. The three of them moved forward, cleaning up the emerging sandworms and looking around for the location of Nefer's treasure.

There was an explosion, and the meteorite fell on the ground twenty meters away in front of the three people, killing five or six sandworms the size of calves. The strong and hot air flow swept past, rolling dozens of surrounding sandworms of different sizes off the ground, and smashed heavily against the walls on both sides.

The firelight disc player dispersed the darkness. The three of them could see clearly. Fifty meters ahead, there was a vast hall. Under the dim light, a giant sandworm as big as a house could be vaguely seen squirming. From time to time, several large sandworms crawled out of the hall, coming as if following the light of fire.

"Here we come." Lan Wu became inexplicably excited. He couldn't remember the name of this little BOSS. But this is the first time in a long time that I have encountered a demon BOSS who has basically no power to fight back. This is a blessing that should be celebrated.

Gross was even more excited. There's nothing like facing an opponent who can't fight back. As a fire mage known as a mobile turret, who can bear it?

Taking a big step, Gross walked forward boldly. All he could see was the huge giant sandworm. Lan Wu rolled his eyes and immediately motioned for Rodament and Lanya to step forward to guard him.

Victory is in sight, and it would be a fool to let this Lu Gaoyin die.

The sandworms that were burned half alive along the way were quickly harvested by Lanya and the three of them, guarding Gross as he approached the giant sandworm. Rodament, on the other hand, is more insidious. Every time he releases a ball of rot, the sandworm's iron-like claws and mouthparts will be corroded into a ball of blood.

Without its chelicerae and mouthparts, the sandworm is actually just a relatively large bug.

After walking about thirty meters away from the giant sandworm, Gross stopped. The giant sandworm seemed to be aware of the danger and raced against time to carry out its final act of madness.

Groups of blood-red eggs the size of millstones were extruded from the huge abdomen. After falling to the ground, they shrank and swelled like living creatures. You could vaguely see the squirming sandworm larvae inside.

With a wave of the short stick, the meteorite appeared out of thin air and crashed into the giant sandworm. With a loud bang, the meteorite landed next to the giant sandworm and exploded a few meters away. Pieces of flaming gravel splashed onto the giant sandworm with scorching heat.

Hiss.

The giant sandworm screamed sadly in the sea of ​​fire. It kept squirming, trying to burrow underground to escape the scorching flames. Unfortunately, its body was extremely fat, and even after squirming for a long time, it was unable to penetrate even one of its claws into the ground.

It’s done.

Lan Wu was in a good mood. This giant sandworm is obviously the final boss of the Temple of Death level. Kill it and you'll find the coveted Book of Town Teleport and even the Horadric Cube.

About two hours later, the giant sandworm let out its last painful scream and was smashed to pieces by the meteorite. Gross raised his chin slightly in a reserved manner, and the Ash of Bane stick was turning smoothly between his fingers, looking quite proud.

Lan Wu shrugged and smiled, stepping forward to start the treasure hunt. Just after taking two steps, he was suddenly startled.

No, why is this insect so weak?
