Elder Centipede looked behind him in horror. Its strength of 40 and agility of 50 were so great that it could not move under the restraint!
Lycorina walked over, holding a steel snake-head staff, from which two illusory snake heads extended.
It was the loot she obtained from Steelix.
Lycorina revealed a kind, prickly smile: "Those bugs...were you the ones you put there?"
Chapter 247 Philiya: "?" (4k)
Recalling what had just happened, Lycorina felt not only disgust and anger, but also fear for having been so frightened that she had lost her focus.
Above this fear, there was relief, resentment, and then... a further surge of anger.
He was angry not only at the level twelve centipede Elder Zhang, but also at his own lack of composure.
If An Yi hadn't reminded her, would everyone have been swallowed up by the swarm of insects?
Oh no, of course not. Even if she was terrified and An Yi reminded her, she still didn't come to her senses. At that time, An Yi would definitely have taken the initiative to help, right?
but……
This is a demon realm, this is a battlefield. What do you mean by being stunned by fear on the battlefield?
That could kill you!
Soon, Annie and Lycorina joined Milco and Layton, along with the level 11 Centipede Elder.
Lycorina did not kill the level 12 centipede elder because she did not know whether to capture him alive or kill him on the spot.
She merely restrained the other party;
Then have An Yi cut off all of its long legs.
However, the other party seemed to feel no pain, only a sense of humiliation that their limbs had been severed and that they had become ugly.
After meeting with the eleventh-level centipede elder, it decisively ended the life of the twelfth-level centipede elder with its own tail stinger.
"Thank you all for fulfilling my long-held wish."
After the body is recovered, I will buy the entire body for a large sum of money.
However, before that, could you please allow me to retrieve the 〇 Magic Core first?  ̄○}∞liu ̄@[
"I will pay for the magic cores as well," Elder Centipede said gratefully.
“Okay, do as you please,” Lycorina said.
Now that things have come to this, the level 12 centipede elder is dead, and they have no interest in the corpse. They can do whatever they want with the centipede elder.
Having obtained permission, Elder Centipede quickly broke open the head of the Level 12 Elder Centipede corpse, went deep inside, took out the magic core whose magic power had not yet dissipated, and then stuffed it directly into his mouth.
It trembled, feeling all its power being unleashed.
Then, it said to the four of them, "You should all go back first. I need to digest the magic power of the magic core and cultivate here for a while."
The four members of the Saintess Squad simply agreed and left shortly afterward.
This place is in the middle of nowhere, and there's no place like a normal demon leader's residence, so there's no need to search.
Instead of wasting time here, we should hurry back to rest and then find the next target to attack.
Elder Centipede watched the four people depart, secretly delighted.
I didn't expect it to be so easy to get rid of them!
It stated from the beginning that it needed the flesh and blood of a level 12 centipede elder to aid its cultivation.
Buying the entire corpse for a hefty sum?
Just kidding, isn't this like stealing meat from the "hunter's" mouth?
Where did it get so much money?
Regardless of whether they have that much money, if a certain "hunter" happens to want the materials from the level 12 centipede elder, they will definitely take the most important parts right away.
The "hunters" would definitely prioritize reserving it for their own members; how could it possibly get a chance? ×$∽$〇±》〗♂
A few minutes passed, and after confirming that all four had gone far away, Elder Centipede moved his long-legged staff—
A rustling sound came from all directions, and countless centipedes emerged from under the fallen leaves.
As if in an organized and orderly manner, they began to cooperate in moving the scattered corpses of the level 12 centipede elder.
Killing a level 12 centipede elder was the only purpose of the level 11 centipede elder's visit to [Amethyst Town].
The money left in [Amethyst Town] was saved for this sole purpose.
Now that it has devoured the entire corpse, it naturally cannot return to Amethyst Town.
It had no intention of going back.
Once it has devoured the entire corpse, it will flee to another city!
Cities beyond the reach of "hunters".
Even if it is a high-magic-power demon, it doesn't belong here and has no interest in "ruling the mountain".
The centipede elder let out a sinister laugh, and soon disappeared completely along with a large number of centipedes.
By the time the "Hunter's" subordinates arrived to collect the bodies, nothing was left but a pile of bones left by different demon races.
By this time, Elder Centipede had already hidden himself away, and whether he could be found in this dark rainforest was another matter entirely.
The four members of the Saintess Squad rushed back to their lodgings.
"Just like when I killed the level 11 demon, I only got 10 levels of experience points."
"I'm wondering... will experience points always be awarded this way from now on?" Lycorina sat on the bed, checking her belongings.
Starting with the first kill of a level 10 demon, which grants 10 levels of experience, the first kill of an 11th-level demon also grants 10 levels of experience.
Now, even if you kill a level 12 demon for the first time, you will only get 10 levels of experience.
Now, not only Annie knows about the mechanism provided by this experience, but the other three members of the Saintess Squad have also begun to realize it.
"Next, kill another six or seven level twelve demons to reach the level cap?" Layton asked, puzzled.
“Very likely,” An Yi agreed calmly.
"I just don't know what the level cap will be this time. I wonder if level 300 will be a hurdle?"
"The recommended level for defeating a level 13 demon is 300, right?" Lycorina said.
Annie: "We'll find out once we keep fighting." (5)
"By the way, if we follow the pattern that defeating six or seven demons will allow you to reach the level cap..."
Could we defeat all the level 12 demons, and then defeat six or seven more level 13 demons before leaving?
"At that time, our attributes will be higher than those of viscounts!" Lycorina suddenly realized.
Their original plan was to reach the level cap by defeating level 12 demons, at which point they would be qualified to challenge level 13 demons.
At that time, leaving the rainforest and going to [Bone Dragon City] gave me the strength to face them directly.
But now, it seems they can directly reach the level cap of level 13 before leaving.
We already know roughly how many enemies we need to eliminate, and we also have such a favorable environment for doing so.
It can not only pinpoint the location of demons, but also recruit a group of demons to fight for it.
The risks of launching a campaign are lower, and the time required for a campaign is reduced to an incredible degree.
In different cities, you might only be able to defeat one leader a day, but it's different here;
They can take down several in a single day!
As their strength increases, they can defeat demons of a certain level more and more quickly.
However, not every rainforest demon is as physically fragile as the level 12 centipede elder. In fact, they expend a lot of physical strength and magic power when fighting different demons.
If they didn't need to recover their strength, they could have launched an attack even faster!
Where else can you possibly defeat several demon leaders in a single day?!
"No...it's not that simple."
Annie spoke up, opposing Lycorina's idea;
“We are ‘hunters.’ If we go to hunt down level thirteen demons, it will involve other ‘hunters.’”
Layton said, "We didn't ask them for help when we were fighting the level 12 demons."
An Yi shook her head: "If we assume we have the same strength as a level thirteen demon, then of course we don't need their help to defeat a level twelve demon."
If we can defeat the level 13 demons without their help, and simply go out and kill them, then...
We are a squad capable of killing level 13 demons without the aid of any 'hunters'.
If they could kill the other level thirteen demons in the region, then what is the level above these level thirteen demons? (Three)
Lycorina immediately realized: "The strongest lord in the entire region."
"So, do you think the lord didn't interfere in the creation of this map?"
"This is a map covering the entire Viscount City. Could a group of outsiders at level thirteen really create something like this without the lord's assistance?" An Yi slammed the map onto the bed and asked solemnly.
"So... if the four of us went and killed a level thirteen demon, it's very likely we'd attract the lord's attention?" Lycorina asked.
Milu, standing nearby, also realized what was happening.
"No..." group
It's more than just attracting attention.
The four of them had been concealing their true strength all along. If they could kill their way from level 10 demons all the way up to level 13 demons without any pressure, then their strength had gone from "unknown" to "unfathomable".
In short, to sum up;
Their presence threatens the lord's position!
Several unexpected outsiders specifically targeted demon leaders, wanting nothing but a few rare materials.
Oh, it's even unknown whether these materials are actually needed.
Isn't this tactic just like weakening the elite forces within the territory and then challenging the lord?
If they really went and killed all the level thirteen demons one by one, the lord would be crazy not to take action.
