Chapter 35 Heavy Beetles and Mobile Turrets
"If the map is correct, the mountain in front of us is the Soot Mountain."

Under a smoky mountain, Guta slowly put down the map in his hand.

The dark gray special rock covers most of the entire mountain, and it is densely covered with large or small caves and pits, which looks quite scary from a distance.

At least the average cryptic person is unacceptable.

"There are too many caves up there." Weiwei complained, lying weakly on the chocobo, "Cassius, can't you narrow down the range a little more? They must have a way to find it, right?" .”

"It's enough. With the size of the armored dragon, the caves it can hide in are very limited, so it's not difficult to find." Nia shook her head, turned over and got off the chocobo.

She touched Xueqiu's head, and said with a smile: "Snowball, you stay here, we will take you away later when we finish our work, okay?"

The road on the mountain is not easy to walk, and there is no way to ride a chocobo up the mountain.

At the same time, along the way, Nia also discovered that Snowball seemed to be able to vaguely understand their conversation, or understand the emotions contained in the conversation.

Xueqiu responded in a low voice, rubbed Nia's palm, and obediently followed the two fellow clansmen to stay in the nearby forest.

Weiwei prepared some feed for them, and Guta tied the reins of the two chocobos to the tree trunk.

There is no need for Xueqiu, this little guy is very clever, and he doesn't usually run around.Secondly, with its chubby physique, the rein may make it breathless.

"Are all the weapons ready?" Guta had a Taidao Taotie on his back, and at the same time prepared a spare short knife on his waist.

The previous battle with Thunder Dog Dragon King Gang made him deeply understand the necessity of always having an extra weapon.

Nia nodded, and bundles of arrows and ammunition were already on her back.

As for Weiwei, she raised her head in confusion, then ran back to the camp in embarrassment, and returned in a hurry with the thunder hammer.

"You bastard, is it really an outing?" Guta scolded angrily.

"Hey, I'm used to it, it's my fault..." Weiwei apologized resentfully.

"Be careful yourself, we won't have time to take care of you when there is a real fight." Guta gave a rare persuasion, and took the lead up the mountain with the Taidao on his shoulder.

……

Going up along the winding rocky path on the mountain, Guta and others ignored the caves at the foot of the mountain.

Due to their location, most of these caves collapsed during the rainy season, and the only few left have very small spaces inside, which are far from what Kailong could squat down.

Soon, they reached the mountainside at an altitude of about 200 meters.

From here, there are more and more large caves.

"Everyone, be careful, I don't know if there are other creatures in the cave." Guta reminded, and immediately walked towards a cave that was obviously not small.

But soon, he ran out in a panic.

Followed by two huge beetle monsters.

After chasing and chasing, one of the relatively small beetles jumped up and landed on the back of the other beetle, continuously spitting out acid.

"Run! I can't beat them!"

While running, Guta glanced at the largest beetle headed by him.

Near the eyes, there remained a light white slash mark.

Although he didn't use all his strength, he didn't even cause any injuries. The opponent's defense obviously far exceeded his expectations.

It's not that it can't be dealt with, but after all, there are other tasks, so let's avoid these two big beetles first.

When Weiwei saw these two insects that were seven or eight meters tall, her face turned pale with fright, and she started running ahead of time without the ancient tower reminding her.

But unfortunately, due to the lack of enough exercise for many years, her speed was not fast, and she was soon caught up by Guta and Niya and left behind.

"Take care of me, I'm about to be overtaken!" Seeing the two big beetles getting closer and closer behind her buttocks, Weiwei almost burst into tears.

"Nia, release the insect repellent smoke, don't get entangled with them."

Hearing this, Nia turned around abruptly, took out a small jar from behind, undid the safety valve, and threw it back.

Soon, a large amount of thick gray smoke sprayed out from the jar, carrying a special fishy smell.

After smelling this special smell, the two big beetles hesitated again and again, but turned around and returned to their cave.

"Huh, didn't catch up."

Guta ran up ten meters in a panic, before stopping to look down.

"You two, wait for me!"

Weiwei threw herself down behind the two of them, gasping for breath, with a distressed expression on her face.

"Weiwei, your physical strength is not good enough, shouldn't blacksmiths have good physical strength?" Nia was a little puzzled, and asked while patting the retching Weiwei's back.

Slightly relieving the nausea and dizziness caused by excessive exercise, Weiwei sat down on the stone, panting and said: "It's different, if you let me swing the hammer, I might not be tired all day, but running is fine." gone."

"These two beetles should be the heavy beetle and the thorough beetle in the guild illustration book."

Nia recalled the appearance of the two beetles and said.

"Probably so. According to the picture book, the female heavy beetle can control the male beetle through pheromone, making it a mobile turret on its back. The reaction of these two is exactly the same." Guta nodded in agreement. .

"It's a good thing we didn't get entangled with them. Heavy beetles are famous for their strong defenses. We don't have time to grind them out a little bit." Weiwei interjected, looking at the looming cave below with lingering fear, "I hate bugs!"

"Just hope you don't encounter any troublesome monsters in the next cave."

Guta shook his head, and touched another cave again.

It's just that the movement is much lighter this time, and the speed has also slowed down a lot.

In this way, they explored a dozen caves one after another.

I don't know if it's good luck or bad luck. Except for a small group of poisonous birds in the first cave, the other places are empty.

In order to avoid extra problems and arouse the vigilance of the Kailong lurking here, Guta and the others gave up their plan to hunt the poisonous monster birds, and after forcing them back, they slowly exited the cave.

Guta squinted his eyes, looking at the mountain top which had become more and more obvious, feeling a little irritable for no reason.

"I don't know when to find it..." Weiwei dragged the Thunder Hammer weakly to the end, her chest heaving up and down.

"I'm exhausted, why don't you take a rest?" She looked at the team leader Guta with a pleading look.

"Let's talk about finding a place. You don't want to continue looking at night, do you?"

"Ah? It's a big deal to wait another day, let's continue the next day~" Weiwei tried to persuade Guta, but obviously the results were not good.

"A long night with many dreams is prone to accidents. I still want to complete the mission as soon as possible. If you can't do it, you can stay here. Anyway, I don't expect you to participate in the battle." Guta frowned and said a little rudely.

"Hey, hey, I got it, I'll just keep going."

Weiwei drooped her face, looked at the desolate landscape around her, and could only drag her tired body to follow with a sad face.
