Seeing the system prompt text, Gao Yuan was relieved, which meant that he had indeed killed the succubus, and then he focused on the prompt itself.
Although this succubus is a bit tricky, the profit from killing it is also much higher. Just killing one of them will give you a profit of up to 39 points of source of mutation!
Not to mention other gains from exploring the gray desert, just from the considerable amount of source of mutation, the succubus will become one of his main hunting targets in the future.
At this time, the sea of fire caused by the Explosive Flame Curse had gradually subsided, and several other members of the demon hunting team also breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the broken remains of the succubus.
"Four-corner formation on alert!"
Shi Jun gave a loud command, and the other four people, including Gao Yuan, turned slightly and stood in a square shape facing each other, using their intersecting visions as cover to ensure that there were no blind spots around them.
Seeing this, Shi Jun stood there and searched for a moment, then quickly walked towards a piece of the succubus' remains that had been torn apart by Gao Yuan's explosion just now.
The latter was now like melted butter, soft and flat on the ground, and was constantly soaking into the ground beneath it.
After a while, Shi Jun rummaged through the remains of the succubus and found an irregular dark crystal stone the size of an egg. This was naturally the intermediate crystallized magic core that was the core of the succubus' energy.
It's just that compared with the primary crystallized magic core produced by Shadow Demon, this intermediate crystallized magic core is not only a bit larger in size, but the black part inside is also deeper, and it is also wrapped with a thin layer of magic core.
The almost transparent 'shell'.
As a product that competes with the succubi of the Kaiyuan Realm, the price of the intermediate crystallized magic core is much higher than that of the elementary level.
Depending on their specific quality, the purchase prices offered by major shops in Camp No. 1 generally range from 10 to 40 intermediate spiritual stones.
A crystallized magic core like this produced by a succubus in the late Kaiyuan realm can be sold for at least 30 intermediate spiritual stones when brought back to the camp!
·
After getting the crystallized magic core, Shi Jun quickly walked back, and the team's formation gradually changed back to the previous regular pentagon shape according to the drill before departure.
When the blind zone of perception was released but no new succubi appeared, everyone except Gao Yuan showed expressions of relief.
While Gao Yuan found this a bit funny, he also paid more and more attention to this issue.
It can be seen from the expressions of the few people just now that they were facing a formidable enemy. The consequences of blocking the appearance of the succubus at will may be much more serious than he expected.
Even if it was only blocked for a few minutes just to make it easier for Shi Jun to collect the loot, it was enough to make several people deal with it nervously!
You must pay attention to this issue when you go out on your own in the future!
Even if it's a little troublesome, a blind spot must be left for the succubus to appear.
Otherwise, if dozens or hundreds of succubi are superimposed and appear at the same time, it will be great fun!
…
The team began to move forward again. As Gao Yuan moved forward, he quickly replayed the battle process in his mind.
While analyzing the specific combat characteristics of the succubus, he was also evaluating the possibility of a one-on-one fight with the succubus.
There is no doubt that unlike the shadow demon who is just a fool and has no brains, the succubus has a lot of intelligence and fighting awareness.
When faced with the initial attack from Shi Jun and Zhai Youzhi, the performance of this succubus was remarkable.
With the help of its ghostly body skills and strange attack abilities, it can dodge attacks while also freely launching fierce counterattacks!
Therefore, it only took a few face-to-face efforts to completely suppress the two of them.
From this point of view, the combat characteristics of the succubus are somewhat biased towards the assassin, with its excellent attack power and speed.
Especially the speed. Judging from the observations just now, the succubus's moving speed is much faster than the master-level blast spell that Gao Yuan used with all his strength!
More importantly, its body seems not to be affected by inertia during the floating process, and its direction switches extremely smoothly.
Contrary to these two characteristics, the succubus's defense ability is very weak, which can be seen from the attack feedback just now.
Even the ordinary version of the Explosive Flame Curse cast with master-level skills can easily tear apart the succubus's protective black energy, thus causing damage to its body.
Thinking of this, Gao Yuan felt somewhat confident.
For him who has the "Heart Spell" mode to cast instant spells, he has a natural advantage against targets with weak defenses.
Even though Shadow Demon has a speed advantage, which will have a certain impact on the hit rate of the spell, there are many countermeasures to this problem.
You can either use the power of the talisman to force it to move, or you can first use a wider range of powerful spells to stick to the succubus, and then use the 'Heart Curse' mode to instantly cast spells to kill it!
…
Shi Jun kneaded the technique with his right hand, trying to activate the Lihuo Shield to kill the succubus that had just been severely injured.
He suddenly felt the void behind him shake slightly, and a red cloud appeared above the head of the succubus.
"boom!"
The orange-red fireball exploded, instantly exploding the succubus' body into pieces.
Shi Jun's movements stagnated, and then he turned around and glanced at Gao Yuan with a smile on his face.
He is very satisfied with this new teammate named Fang Huai. The opponent is not low in strength and has rich combat experience.
In the previous battles, he had always been able to seize the right opportunity and cast spells to accurately hit the erratic succubus.
Of course, a more important point is that Fang Huai is very motivated to fight.
Just like the succubus in the middle stage of the Kaiyuan realm just now, it was quickly hit hard by the combo of magic weapons from herself and Zhai Youzhi.
However, Fang Huai did not paddle on one side like the Yan Huaili brothers, but still launched his attacks quickly and accurately, which Shi Jun valued particularly.
The depths of the gray desert are full of dangers. Once you encounter a monster, no matter how strong or weak it is, you should fight it quickly.
After all, no one knows when or where the next succubus will suddenly appear.
Well, in this case, there is no need to continue the team inspection. When we return this time, we should talk to the other party about long-term cooperation.
Shi Jun quickly went forward to check out the crystallized magic core, thinking in his heart.
·
Gao Yuan naturally didn't know what Shi Jun was thinking. He had a devilish enthusiasm for fighting. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to steal people's heads to create the source of mutation.
Including the one they just killed, their team has already encountered seven succubi.
Without exception, these succubi all died in his hands. While contributing crystallized magic cores, he also gained 237 sources of mutation!
…
The demon hunting team does not explore aimlessly in the gray desert. They usually determine the direction of exploration before setting off.
The destination of Shi Jun's team this time is located in a hilly area four hundred miles southwest of the No. 1 forward camp.
According to the records on the map, this area has a lot of plant materials that are special to the gray desert, and this is exactly what Gao Yuan expected.
It was already approaching evening.
After a day of running, the team had traveled more than three hundred miles into the depths of the gray desert, gradually approaching their destination.
The surrounding environment was also much different from before. While the chaotic demonic energy around him became more and more intense, the ground beneath his feet also began to undulate significantly.
Through the gray chaotic demonic energy, the faint outlines of the raised hills in the distance can still be vaguely seen.
At this moment, as the team advanced, Gao Yuan suddenly discovered a figure about forty meters in front of his field of vision, vaguely shaped like a sea urchin, on the ground.
As soon as his heart moved, his spiritual thoughts turned into tentacles and spread in that direction, and soon the specific appearance of that thing was reflected in his mind.
