Chapter 67

In the mountains.

Sizz~

Locke pulled his long sword out of a large snake that was more than 10 meters long. The large snake’s body hit the ground heavily. Although it had lost its vitality, its body was still twisting.

“The level-2 magical beast is not challenging at all.” Locke said in disgust. As he spoke, he had already put the large snake’s body into the system space. Level-2 magical beasts, beast hides, beast meat, and beast bones could be sold for money.

They had been in the mountain range of magical beasts for two days. In these two days, the strongest they had met were only level-2 magical beasts. However, Locke could clearly feel that as they went deeper, the strength of magical beasts was indeed getting stronger and stronger.

According to the map given by Treasure Pavilion, they were already at the junction of the outer circle and the central circle.

In the distance, more than 20 meters away from the ground, Athena was sitting on a branch as thick as a thigh, leaning against the trunk of an ancient tree. She looked as bored as she could.

Seeing that the battle downstairs finally came to an end, she shouted at Locke, “I’m hungry.”

“Okay, I’ll find some food for barbecue right away.”

Locke waved his hand and replied helplessly. Athena was a god. How could she feel hungry? She just wanted to eat roasted meat.

After saying that, Locke closed his eyes and released divine sense. Everything within the radius of two hundred meters was clearly presented in his mind. Suddenly, he was slightly stunned and couldn’t help laughing.

Under the search of divine sense, he found a giant forest boar of level 2. This giant forest boar was about one hundred meters away from him, crawling in the grass. Its red eyes were full of greed, and the two tusks of more than 50 centimeters long emitted a sharp luster like an edge. It seemed to be waiting for an opportunity to attack Locke.

With an evil smile, Locke held his long sword and rushed towards the giant forest boar.

“Ouch!”

The forest was suddenly filled with the screech of the giant forest boar.

More than 10 seconds later.

Boom!

The huge body of the giant forest boar slammed into the ancient tree, and a wound of 3 centimeters wide appeared on its chest. Although the wound was not long, the blood gushed out like a fountain. It was obvious that it had been pierced through by Locke’s sword.

Dragging the giant forest boar, Locke arrived in front of a clear stream and skillfully cut the giant forest boar. In no time, he had already taken off the loin, plum meat, hind leg meat, and other parts with better meat quality.

On the other hand, Athena had also built a fire and put the table and chairs. There was even a bottle of good red wine on the table.

If others saw the two of them leisurely, they would be shocked. They were very careful in the mountain range of magical beasts as if treading on thin ice, fearing that they would lose their lives if they were not careful enough. When they looked at others, they would believe that Locke and Athena were on vacation.

Half an hour later, the smell of meat suffused around the camp.

Lying prone on the table, Athena fixed her beautiful eyes on the roast meat in Locke’s hand, greedy. Locke was amused by Athena’s greedy look. Seeing that the meat was almost roasted, he handed a piece of plum blossom meat to Athena.

Athena happily took over the roast meat. Seeing that Locke was still busy grilling the rest, she tore one piece and handed it to Locke’s mouth. “At least you are the one who roasted it. I have to give you a taste.”

“So I have to thank you.”

Locke rolled his eyes at Athena and bit the meat.

Athena, who was enjoying the delicious food, frowned slightly. Locke also raised his head and looked into the depth of the forest.

“You eat first.”

Locke stood up and turned to Athena.

Athena nodded.

Puff~

Legs slightly curved, Locke directly ejected, landing on a distant branch. After a few moves, he had disappeared from Athena’s sight.

It was less than two hundred meters away from the camp of Locke and Athena. The ground collapsed, and broken trees were everywhere, with blood all over the place.

“Everyone, I’m sorry.”

Sam’s breath was weak and his face was extremely pale.

There was a wound of more than 10 centimeters on his thigh, revealing his ghastly white bone. The six people behind him were also injured to varying degrees.

Sam’s eyes were full of regret as he looked at the giant scorpion coming slowly in front of him. He shouldn’t have taken the task of the flame beast! The young men behind him looked sad and dejected. Facing the poisonous scorpion with black stripes of level 4, they had no chance to escape.

The pincers of poisonous scorpion with black stripes came at them at a very fast speed, leaving no chance for Sam and the others to escape.

Seeing that he couldn’t escape, Sam gritted his teeth and mobilized the last bit of magic power in his body.

A yellow shield appeared in front of them.

Boom!

After a few seconds, the shield was directly smashed into pieces by the pincers. Sam and the others were thrown out by the strong impact.

Facing a few weak humans like ants, the poisonous scorpion with black stripes did not seem to be interested in continuing to play. It quickly ran towards Sam, intending to smash Sam and the others into meat mud.

“It’s over…”

Looking at the poisonous scorpion with black stripes in front of him, Sam closed his eyes in despair and was not ready to struggle. Sure enough, in front of the poisonous scorpion with black stripes of level 4, all their struggle was in vain.

Bang~

However, a few seconds later, there was no expected sharp pain.

Sam opened his eyes in confusion. When he saw clearly the scene in front of him, his pupils suddenly trembled and his eyes widened in disbelief.

It turned out that the extremely powerful poisonous scorpion with black stripes had been thrown away, creating a big pit in the distance. It didn’t know when a familiar figure appeared in front of him.

At this time, the poisonous scorpion with black stripes had climbed out of the big pit and let out an angry roar. It seemed that he was going to tear up the human who had attacked him.

“A level-4 magical beast. Well, it’s a little challenging.”

Facing the irritated poisonous scorpion with black stripes, Locke didn’t change his face and his battle intent was very high. “But, it’s just a little ugly.”

There was a pair of middle eyes on the back of the poisonous scorpion with black stripes, 3 side-eyes on both sides of the front end, and 6 pairs of arms. Its whole body was covered with a shell with black stripes.

Six pairs of arms. The first pair was the whole limb that helped eat, the second pair was the long and thick tentacles like the crab’s pincers, which had the function of preying, feeling, and defense, and the other four pairs were the feet.

Locke recalled the features of the poisonous scorpion with black stripes in his mind to find its weakness.

Cutting off the second pair of feet first!

With the thought in his mind, Locke lifted his long sword and slashed at the poisonous scorpion’s second pair of feet.

Although the poisonous scorpion with black stripes was huge, it was surprisingly agile. With a pincer, it shook off the long sword in Locke’s hand. The other big pincer came at Locke’s body. At the same time, its tail stabbed at Locke from behind, which was full of poison.

Facing the attacks, Locke didn’t panic. He jumped up, resisted the pincers with his sword, and then turned around to avoid the poison sting.

Was this… The previous young man?

Sam stared blankly at Locke who was fighting with the poisonous scorpion with black stripes. He was in a trance.

This was a level-4 magical beast. How could an 18 or 19 years old young man be on par with a level-4 magical beast? Was this real?

Besides, wasn’t this young man a fire mage of level 2? Why didn’t he use magic? Instead, he rushed up with the sword like warriors and swordsmen?
