Chapter 0400: Walking Into a Trap

The most difficult part of strangling scorpion lions is how to control them.

There are nine adult and young scorpion lions, two of which have the strength of elite wizards, three are as strong as veteran wizards, and the remaining four are basically new wizards.

With such strength, they can definitely crush Grimm's team. After all, they only have Grimm, an explosive elite wizard, and Gargamel and Lin Yao, two veteran wizards!

As for the other adventurers and potion apprentices, it is difficult to use them as shields. If you want to rely on them to support a solid line of defense, it is no less than a mantis trying to stop a car, and the end must be miserable.

So if you want to defeat the strong with the weak, the only way is to set a trap, lead this group of scorpion lions into a narrow area, and reduce their advantage in numbers. And the reason why Grimm dared to do this is based on his understanding of scorpion lions.

Although scorpion lions are also considered a ferocious monster, they have no long-range attack skills after all, which is also the main reason why they can never be on the stage! If it weren't for the special environmental advantage of the underground passage, their fighting power would not be even as good as those of the flying dragons.

As dawn approached, the group of scorpion lions that went out hunting began to return to their nests in large numbers again.

As soon as they stepped into the underground passage, the two elite scorpion lions in the lead became restless.

In the past, when Grimm and Gargamel broke in, they would try to cover up their smell and erase the traces left behind. But this time, in addition to them, even the adventurous mercenaries broke in with torches in their hands.

The strong human breath left in the passage and the burnt smell left by the burning torches were like a beacon in the dark night, and it couldn't be more obvious!

His nest was actually broken into by a group of humans?

The scorpion lion leader was furious and couldn't help but worry about the two little scorpion lions left in the nest!

Under its urging, the scorpion lions abandoned their prey, flapped their bat wings, and rushed into the depths of the ground along the smell left by humans. The more they flew, the more worried they became, because the route of the human advance was actually pointing directly at their hidden nest!

This made the scorpion lions extremely anxious!

Finally, at a key intersection outside the nest, they smelled the breath of the little scorpion lion.

Mixed with the breath of the little scorpion lion was the burnt gas after the elemental flame exploded and... a faint smell of blood!

The former indicated that human wizards were involved, and the latter... made the scorpion lions particularly furious.

In almost half a quarter of an hour, they searched the nest and did not find any trace of the enemy. And relying on their keen sense of smell, they realized that the enemy did not escape, but instead wrapped the little scorpion lion and went straight to the deeper underground.

The scorpion lion group, which was blinded by rage, was led by two elite scorpion lions, one male and one female, and followed the smell all the way down, and finally found two tightly tied little scorpion lions and a pile of clothes left by human mercenaries in an underground Jedi.

Just as they were frantically tearing the ropes on the little scorpion lion, Grimm, Gargamel and others came from behind and firmly occupied the entrance and exit of this underground Jedi.

The so-called underground Jedi actually refers to a small area with only one entrance and exit and no other passages inside. Such caves and caves are almost everywhere in the underground world, and it is also a kind of area that underground exploration teams love and hate.

If you are a member of an expedition team, it is undoubtedly the best place to camp when the team is resting. As long as the only entrance and exit are blocked and someone is sent to guard, there is no need to worry about the team being attacked by others.

But if you encounter a large number of underground creatures, this kind of underground Jedi with no escape can easily make an expedition team be wiped out. So their existence makes people love and hate it, and it is difficult to choose!

The underground Jedi that Grimm chose for the scorpion lion group is a funnel-shaped cave. It has been trampled many times inside. Except for this only entrance and exit, there is no other passage to pass through. The only entrance was 4 meters wide and 3 meters high, which could only accommodate an adult manticore to pass through with its wings spread, or two manticores to squeeze through.

When Grimm found that the manticores had fallen into the trap, he immediately cut off their retreat from behind. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the cave, Grimm released the howler and the rotten, letting the howler covered with rock lumps block the road, while he and the rotten were responsible for side attacks.

As for the other team members, they were scattered around to prevent other underground creatures from running to make trouble.

And Gargamel, with a spell, detonated many traps secretly ambushed in the cave.

A large amount of wormwood and a small amount of ghost mushrooms were ignited by the flames, and began to produce pungent smoke and terrible stench in every corner of the cave, as well as flying fungal spores.

They quickly consumed the air in the cave.

Since all the secret passages and cracks had been blocked in advance, the thick smoke and poisonous gas could not leak out, and almost instantly submerged the cave and the group of scorpion lions inside.

The choking smoke immediately caused a huge cough like a tsunami and the sound of the scorpion lions flapping their bat wings, mixed with the violent and terrifying roar of the scorpion lion leader.

The roarer was a huge stone man who was 4 meters tall and weighed 35 tons. He was wrapped in a thick layer of rock armor. As the only meat shield today, it gave up all the opportunities to attack and only condensed a huge rock between its big rock hands as a shield to defend with all its strength.

It had just finished its defensive posture when the fog in the cave cleared. A violent scorpion lion with a swift hurricane hit the "shield" in its hand.

There was a loud bang.

The more than one-meter-thick rock was instantly shattered!

The heavy body of the roarer suddenly staggered backwards, and the big rock feet and the hard floor even rubbed out dazzling sparks. The adult scorpion lion also hit its head and bled, shaking its body and falling into a dizzy state at the entrance of the cave.

While both parties were not able to react, Grimm stood behind the roarer and threw an enhanced version of the lava fireball under the feet of the injured scorpion lion. At the same time, the strong corrosive acid ball of the rotten also fell on the scorpion lion.

It was like a large basin of strong sulfuric acid was suddenly poured on the body. The injured scorpion lion was corroded by the strong acid while it was still dizzy and screamed. The majestic and majestic sideburns quickly disappeared, and the hard leather-like brown skin made a sizzling corrosion sound.

In the next second, the lava fireball exploded, and the violent shock wave blew the scorpion lion into the air, with the entire chest and abdomen covered in blood and flesh. As for the subsequent lava fragments and magma splashing, the inside of the cave entrance turned into a terrible lava sea of ​​fire that ordinary people could hardly stand on.

Just as the scorpion lion made way, the fierce wind whistled, and a new scorpion lion rushed up with the power of wind and thunder.

This time, the roarer did not have the rock "shield" to protect himself, and could only use a pair of thick rock hands to withstand the scorpion lion's attack.

Boom...

There was another loud noise like the collapse of the sky and the crack of the earth.

The roarer's two stone hands, which were half a meter thick, were smashed into powder all over the sky. If it hadn't sunk its two stone legs into the rock floor, it would have been knocked away just now.

What a terrible force!

According to the chip's monitoring, the impact intensity of the two scorpion lions just now had reached an astonishing 135 degrees. This... This is an attack strength that ordinary wizards can only dream of but cannot reach!

And the physique and strength of this scorpion lion are far better than the first one. After the violent collision, except for the bloody head and broken fangs, it did not fall into dizziness. Not only did it not faint, but at the moment when the roarer's hands disappeared and the door was wide open, the scorpion tail behind it stabbed out like a gust of wind and lightning, and pierced the roarer's rock armor viciously.

The four-finger-thick rock armor was actually pierced through, and the sharp and terrible poison needle like a hook quickly injected the paralyzing venom into the roarer's body. At the same time, the roarer raised his right foot and stomped it hard.

The terrible invisible shock wave immediately began to spread around with it as the center!

All individuals who came into contact with the shock wave couldn't help but jump up on the spot, and the muscles and bones of the whole body trembled and could not hold themselves, and they lost the ability to respond further.

This sudden attacking scorpion lion is obviously an elite guy, no weaker than the roarer in terms of physique and strength. But unfortunately, when the paralysis venom was ineffective, it had to take the opponent's "earthquake"!

If it were another scorpion lion, it might take three or five snaps to get rid of this out-of-control effect, but for an elite scorpion lion, its out-of-control was only a short snap.

Unfortunately, this snap was enough for Grimm to launch an attack!

Not daring to be self-sufficient, Grimm used his strongest single-type fire magic in the voodoo scroll without hesitation - Fire Core Melt Explosion!

With the blessing of the Destruction Flame Wizard Staff, the Fire Core Melt Explosion cast by Grimm at this time can reach an ultra-high attack intensity of 125 degrees, which is 10 degrees higher than before.

Don't underestimate this 10-degree difference, this is 10 degrees based on deep defense penetration!

In general wizard battles, each guy will try every means to bless himself with various elemental shields and witchcraft protection. Under the layer-by-layer reduction, ordinary witchcraft attacks cannot break through this defense, and can only be slowly worn away by consumption.

The higher the intensity of a single attack, the more likely it is to break the opponent's defensive witchcraft in one blow, so the opponent can only fully absorb the overflowing elemental damage!

The maximum witchcraft damage that this elite scorpion lion can withstand is only 90 degrees.

Although witchcraft attacks below 90 degrees can also cause some damage to its body surface, they can never break through the protective force field formed by the powerful life energy, so they can't hurt its important organs and key parts.

And this is the foundation to ensure that it continues to fight!

But Grimm's fire core melt explosion reached 125 degrees, even if it was reduced by most of it, the remaining 35 degrees of flame damage would actually act on its flesh and blood torso. chapter;
