Chapter 295 Hunting Sand Lizards (2)
290 The Fifth Cyclops
Fortunately, Lu Ping discovered it early. People who didn't have mounts had sand lizards as mounts. They ran fast, and finally escaped from the valley and reached the basin before tens of thousands of scorpions were encircled by the iron wall.

There were no scorpions in the basin, and the scorpions in the valley were not chased out. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. There were still more than 100 sand lizards in the group, and 90% became the food of the scorpions. Only a few escaped. From this, it can be seen that these scorpions How fast and violent.

"Fortunately, those sand lizards helped us block it, otherwise someone would definitely die!" The romantic man wiped his cold sweat with lingering fear.

The somewhat embarrassed Leng Wa turned his anger on him again: "How did you become a guide? You just pushed us into the fire pit!"

"Second Master, I didn't know there would be so many scorpions here, and besides, I wasn't the one leading the way just now..."

Lu Ping asked: "Have you found so many scorpions in the desert before?"

The romantic figure, passing by, Shisanyao and others all shook their heads: "No, no, there are dozens or hundreds of them at most. I have never even heard of such a crazy one."

Hongyue said: "Let's go quickly, there might be scorpions or other bugs coming out of this ghostly place."

Leng Wa said: "Yes, let's go, anyway, there will definitely not be any mammoths here, and all we can find are bones."

Everyone was rushing out, only Lu Ping stood there in a daze: "Wait, don't you find it strange why there are so many scorpions here?"

An Li said: "It's the scorpion nest, the scorpion kingdom, what's so strange?"

"No, I think it's a bit strange..." Lu Ping seemed to have thought of something, but he couldn't think of the problem for a while.

One side smiled slightly and said: "The more powerful the monster, the better the things. The more dangerous the place, the more precious the hidden treasures. Maybe there is something special here..."

Lu Ping patted his thigh: "Yes, that's what I want to say!"

Now everyone came to their senses. Excitement and anticipation appeared on their dejected faces, and "golden light shone" in their eyes. But where is the treasure?
Ge Luanbu and Thirteen Yao volunteered to go ahead to explore the way. Anyway, scorpions can't fly, and they can't attack from a distance. What are they afraid of flying in the sky on birds?

The two rode birds and flew along the valley, amazed as they flew, almost all the places in the valley were covered with scorpions, wriggling and moving, it was shocking.

The report of the two kept ringing in the team channel: "Nothing else was found except the scorpion"

"You can see the end, this is a dead valley, there is no way out!"

"The stone mountains on both sides are very steep, and there are many small holes on the stone walls. There should be scorpions."

"..."

"Boss, there is nothing."

Lu Ping couldn't believe it, so he rode a firebird to the front to see for himself. At this time, the east was pale and the light was getting brighter, and it was already dawn.

Flying forward, you can see the end of the valley, and you can see most of the places at a glance. It is clear at a glance, and there is really nothing special.Unexpectedly, Firebird suddenly said: "There seems to be a cave in front, if there is any treasure, it must be hidden in the cave."

"Cave?" Lu Ping widened his eyes and scanned randomly. Where is there a cave?

The Firebird spread its wings and swooped forward, flying tens of meters forward, only a few meters above the ground. Now Lu Ping saw that there was indeed a big hole hidden by a boulder.

In fact, this cave is very large, with a height of six to seven meters and a width of nearly two meters, but it is well hidden. The top is overhanging, and there is a huge rock not far from the entrance of the cave, so the cave cannot be seen from a high place.Because there are a lot of scorpions on the ground, no one wants to get close to the ground. Even if it is close to the ground, it is easy to regard the entrance of the cave as the shadow of a boulder. At this time, it is just dawn, the angle of light can shine on the entrance of the cave, and the firebird's eyesight is particularly good. up.

"There's a big hole here!" Lu Ping said in the team channel, a little excited in his heart, just like what Xiaoxiao said before, the more dangerous and inaccessible to ordinary people, the more precious the hidden treasures.

Everyone hurriedly asked: "Boss, is there a scorpion inside?"

"I don't know, I can't see inside, you just wait here, I'll go in and take a look."

Are there any scorpions in the cave?Lu Ping was hesitating how to get in, Huo Niao Qu had already rushed into the cave, and when he reached the entrance of the cave, he was slightly sideways, carrying Lu Ping and squeezed in sideways.

"Little Hong, be careful!" Lu Ping couldn't help reminding that no matter how big the cave is, it won't be too big. If there are scorpions all over the ground and they can't fly, then it's really delivered to the door, and the sheep has fallen into the tiger's mouth.

"No scorpion, what kind of eyes do you have..."

As the fire bird retracted its wings, it fell to the ground. It didn't finish its sentence, and before its feet touched the ground, there was an earth-shattering roar from the depths of the cave, followed by a huge boulder with a diameter of more than one meter roaring out. Throw it at Lu Ping and Firebird.

Lu Ping was already very vigilant, so he immediately jumped away from the bird and jumped to the side. The inside of the cave was bigger than the cave entrance, and the cave walls were irregular. He jumped behind a protruding rock in one fell swoop.The firebird also dodged to the other side in time, and the huge boulder flew past them, flew out of the cave and hit the rocks outside the cave. It was shattered with a "boom", and the gravel flew all over the sky.

Lu Ping was taken aback. What kind of monster could smash such a big stone, and if it was hit, it wouldn't turn into a meat paste?

Thirteen Yao and Ge Lunbu rode birds and circled above the entrance of the cave, wanting to enter the cave, but their birds were not as flexible as the firebirds, so they dared not fly into the cave, and there were many scorpions on the ground outside that dared not land, and they were Trying to land on the rock at the entrance of the cave, he was almost hit by a flying boulder, and screamed in fright.

Lu Ping ignored the exclamation and inquiries of his companions, and looked into the depths of the cave with his head. Just as he poked his head out, he couldn't see anything clearly, and another boulder roared out.This time the stone was a little bit off, it didn't fly out, it hit the cave wall and exploded, the momentum was even more astonishing, the earth was shaken, two pieces of crushed stones hit Lu Ping, and he suffered more than 200 injuries in total.

Only two splashing fragments can cause such high damage. If it is hit by a boulder, or near the explosion point, the result can be imagined. Lu Pingneng can be sure that the monsters inside are more terrifying than mud monsters and river monsters ... The mud monster and the river monster threw magic stones, but the monsters in this cave threw real stones.

The disparity in strength is too great. It seems that there is no benefit today. Lu Ping has the intention to retreat, but he dare not act rashly. If he is hit by a boulder, he will definitely die.

The monsters in the depths of the cave didn't rush out, and they didn't throw any more stones. They became extremely quiet, and the panting of giant beasts could be faintly heard. Lu Ping listened carefully and counted at least five of them.

"Damn, it turned out to be a monster's nest!" Lu Ping cursed secretly, but he didn't know if this kind of monster could see through invisibility?
"A...K※△...＠※＼OR, OR..."

The monster in the cave roared, as if it was roaring in demonstration, or it seemed to be saying something.

Firebird said: "This is the language of the orcs."

"Nonsense, of course the monster speaks animal language. The question is, can you understand it?"

Firebird was furious: "You say I don't understand? I am the holy phoenix, one of the ancestors of the beast race. You say I don't understand the beast language? You are saying that fish can't swim and birds can't swim." Fei, call me stupid."

Lu Ping sweated: "No, no, I have always admired and envied your high IQ and noble blood. There is no language in this world that you can't understand... Uh, what did they say just now?"

Firebird snorted and said: "They just spoke the ancient orc language, and not many people can understand it. When translated into human language, it probably means: Get out, idiot, and kill anyone who comes close. Although I can't tell what kind of race they are from this sentence, but they must be Cyclops who can throw such a large stone and live in such a large cave!"

Lu Ping was taken aback. Of course he knew about the Cyclops. They existed in Might and Magic in the stand-alone game, but he had never seen them in the game, nor heard of others seeing them. Either this kind of monsters were very rare, or they were only Brush in the high-level area, currently the player can't see it.

The fire bird said again: "They stay here and don't come out, and they don't let people approach, maybe they are guarding some treasure, the Cyclops treasure!"

Firebird's judgment was always very accurate. It said that there were treasures out of ten, and Lu Ping couldn't help being excited. This treasure must be extraordinary, but it is definitely not easy to get.There are tens of thousands of poisonous scorpions outside, and there are cyclops throwing stones in the cave, even 10 horses may not be able to break through it...

Lu Ping's heart suddenly moved. No matter what monsters are inside, they are all unusual monsters, because ordinary monsters can only roar a few times in a monotonous manner, and cannot express complex language.Monsters who can express complex language are either NPCs, or those with missions or special plots...

"Little Hong, don't you speak animal language? Ask them what species they are and what they are doing here."

Huo Niao said: "I'm not red at all now, you should call me little green. Alas, I found that after I turned green, people looked at me with strange eyes, as if I was wearing a cuckold..."

When you asked for it, it started to show off again. Lu Ping complimented it a few times and made it feel comfortable in the photo. Then it became a diplomat with satisfaction, and roared in animal language: "Hey, the people inside listen! , no, the beast inside listen, we are not hostile, maybe we can be friends..."

The firebird spoke a few words of animal language, and the monsters in it talked to each other. After a while, Lu Ping was listening in a cloud, when he suddenly received a system prompt: "Cyclops, please clear all the scorpions in the valley, are you sure?" accept?"

Lu Ping was both surprised and delighted. What pleased him was that, as he expected, there were no ordinary monsters inside, and he was given a task. What surprised him was that this task was too scary. There were countless scorpions in the valley, how could they all be eliminated?

However, there are missions that must be accepted, and they must be accepted first, so Lu Ping accepted it, and immediately opened the adventure log to check.

Mission Name: Cyclops' Annoyance.

Mission description: The Cyclops in Chilin Mountain (coordinates: 77653, 1836) in the Bracada Desert asks you to kill all the scorpions in the valley. In return, they will give you the treasure they guard.

Mission Reward: Treasure of the Cyclops, ?
Task category: Hidden task (S-level)
If there is no person in the team who can speak the language of the ancient beast, or enter the cave after killing all the scorpions, then it is impossible to receive the task, and you need to kill the Cyclops to get the treasure.It just so happened that the Firebird could speak the language of the ancient beasts, and entered the cave before the scorpions were all killed, and had a conversation with the Cyclops, which triggered this mission.

This is a hidden mission that Lu Ping had already expected, but it was just an S rank that surprised him, he thought it would be double S.In fact, the S-level hidden mission was already very solid and extremely difficult, but he felt a little disappointed because his eyes were higher than the top.

"Xiaohong, what did you tell them?"

Firebird said: "I'm just like you used to accept missions, saying that we are adventurers who specialize in treating difficult and miscellaneous diseases, killing monsters, running errands, and finding items. If there is anything that needs our help, then they say There are many scorpions in the valley that cannot get out, if we kill all the scorpions, they will give us the guarded treasure."

"But there are so many scorpions, how can we kill them all?"

"Oh, oh, that's none of my business, I'm only in charge of translation.

Lu Ping said: "There is something strange about it. They are such powerful creatures, how could they be afraid of scorpions? How could the treasure they guard be willing to give away to others so easily? Ask again."

Firebird spoke in animal language again, and after talking for a while, he said to Lu Ping: "They said that this was their territory many years ago, but then their tribe gradually weakened, and the number of 'beast mouths' became less and less. They all migrated, leaving only a few of them guarding the treasures of the tribe. Recently the valley has been occupied by many scorpions, and their bravery can only be used on the 'big' enemies, there is no way to these 'small' enemies... …As far as I know, they can only see things in the distance, and they can’t see things that are too close, especially small things.”

Cyclops is farsighted?This is really unexpected, but they are big, have tall eyes, and are good at long-range attacks. Some short-range weaknesses are also normal, otherwise they are not strange but gods.

Lu Pingdao: "Xiaohong, you can communicate with them again and tell them not to attack. I want to go in and have an interview with them."

The Firebird shouted in the animal language again, talked to the Cyclops for a few words, and said somewhat depressedly: "They don't allow cunning humans to approach unless you kill all the scorpions."

"Damn, I'm cunning, how do I know they really have treasures if I don't see them with my own eyes? If there is no treasure, wouldn't I kill scorpions for them?"

The Firebird yelled again in the animal language, this time without its translation, Lu Ping could hear that the Cyclops disagreed, which meant "get out of the way".

If someone has a treasure in his hand, he is the boss, and he is a part-time worker, so he can only behave according to the face of others. Lu Ping endured this, and briefly explained the matter in the team channel. Before he finished speaking, An Li screamed: "The Cyclops treasure room? This is definitely a very high-level treasure!"

"Boss, what's the reward?" The romantic man hurriedly asked, this is also the question that everyone is most concerned about.

Lu Pingdao: "I don't know either. The mission description says Cyclops Treasure, without experience, reputation and gold coins... By the way, there are three question marks, maybe there are other things."

Hongyue couldn't wait: "We'll start killing scorpions right away, we'll know when we finish the task!"

Playing with you: "Yes, let's start killing now. These scorpions are wild animals, so they should be easy to kill. Use the magic of group attack to bombard them, and you can kill them no matter how many!"

Zhan Dao said: "The boss is a cow, he can receive the mission, and it's an S-level hidden mission, the first time in his life..."
