The wind blows and ruffles a pool of spring water.
The pool was filled with blood, like a vast cloud of smoke.
Under the lingering blood, a figure stepped out of the boundless blood mist, stumbling. It was Shen Yi.
Suddenly, he spat out a large mouthful of blood, and the blood fell to the ground, turning into solidified blood clots.
Shen Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The Bloody Queen... is indeed amazing."
Shen Yi didn't expect the Blood Queen's strength to be so terrifying, even stronger than that extraterrestrial beast. After a hard fight, although he killed the Blood Queen, he was also seriously injured.
He originally planned to kill the Blood Queen and then go to the fifth difficulty area, but now it seems that his strength is not enough. Although his current strength can be regarded as the peak of the fifth difficulty, adventurers of the same level can never be opponents of the same level of ferocious beasts. This truth obviously remains unchanged. Unless you can make further progress on this basis, sweeping across the wilderness will still be just a dream.
In addition, the bloody Queen's blow before she died caused a lot of sequelae to his body. Unless he returned to the city, he could not get rid of the blood poison in his body. With his current physical condition, let alone five Difficulty means that it is very difficult to survive in difficulty four, so Shen Yi can only give up further plans.
Fortunately, this time he killed the Blood Queen, and the reward was already super generous. You must know that the Blood Queen itself is a ferocious beast at the peak of the fourth difficulty level, and even a strong man like the Colonel Evil Emperor would not dare to provoke her.
After killing her, there is a 100% chance of obtaining a special item - an expansion scroll.
Expansion Scroll: A special scroll that can be used to expand the skill bar.
Each expansion scroll allows adventurers to add a skill bar and learn one more non-professional skill. In the Bloody City, the value of a skill bar expansion scroll is equivalent to the price of an A-level skill.
There is a 50% chance of getting a bottle of the Blood Queen's blood, which can be used to learn the Blood Queen's bloodline. The bloodline level is double A.
There is a 25% chance of obtaining a pure-blood potion used to improve the bloodline level. After using the pure-blood potion, the number of times any bloodline skill can be used is doubled, and it has the effect of increasing the bloodline of the Blood Queen by an additional level.
According to the principle of Bloody City - if you leapfrog a higher level and kill a high-level ferocious beast, the reward will be doubled. If you leapfrog a higher level, the reward will be doubled again.
Therefore, Shen Yi killed the Blood Queen and the reward increased fourfold, allowing him to gain four expansion scrolls, two bottles of the Blood Queen's blood, and a bottle of pure blood potion.
In addition, this does not include the Bloody Eye to be contributed to the temple - the best temple offering.
The only pity is that the bloody eyes are not doubled, because this is a pair of eyes directly dug out from the bloody queen, but there is no second pair for him.
Such a harvest can be said to be a bumper harvest.
Seeing that there was still an hour and a half left, Shen Yi finally decided to go back. If he couldn't return to the City of Ashes before losing his power, he would be in trouble if he was trapped in difficulty three or four.
Of course, before going back, I still have to sweep around.
Tianyan has already given a map of the best route for return. On this route, he can still clean up about four to five places.
Gotta hurry up!

Southern District 2, Fiery Desert.
A fierce battle is taking place here - eight adventurers are joining forces to fight against a ferocious Sand Scorpion King.
As the overlord of the Fiery Desert, each Sand Scorpion King has strength comparable to the top bosses in the second difficulty level.
The Sand Scorpion King in front of me is huge and flexible. It can swim on the sand like flying. From time to time, it will burrow into the sand, and then suddenly jump out to attack. Its long scorpion with barbs
There is strong poison in the tail, which will make the target feel comatose after hitting it. Small sand scorpions will crawl out from under the lower abdomen from time to time, moving quickly under the sand layer until the target jumps under the feet, and then explodes with a bang.
An adventurer was accidentally blown away by the self-destruction of the little sand scorpion. The wild sand flying in the sky obscured everyone's vision. The cunning sand scorpion king suddenly rushed towards him, slashing at him with two sharp forelimbs.
the other person’s body.
Although it failed to cut the opponent in half directly, it tore a long and bloody gash in the target's body, even exposing its intestines.
"Maria, save him!" a strong white adventurer shouted.
A white female adventurer responded: "I don't have enough mental strength to treat him!"
"What? Your spirit and will are too low!"
"I'm not a doctor, I'm a paladin!" the woman replied angrily.
"Stop arguing." An adventurer waving a baseball bat shouted: "This can't continue. We are no match for it. Get ready to leave!"
As he spoke, he swung his bat and hit a small white ball. The white ball flew towards the Sand Scorpion King and exploded suddenly, causing the Sand Scorpion King to scream.
"Are you just going to give up? I don't think it can last much longer." Some people were reluctant to give up like this. After all, a trip to the South District was not an easy task for them.
Not only do they have to face the ferocious beasts here, but they also have to be careful of any adventurers who appear in this area. Not to mention taking such a big risk, challenging the Sand Scorpion King is even more difficult.
As the overlord of the Fiery Desert, the Sand Scorpion King is not only powerful in its own right, but most importantly, it is not a solitary creature, but has a large group of subordinates under its command.
Unlike the queen ant, the sand scorpion king has powerful attack capabilities, but does not have as many brothers as the queen. This makes it sometimes leave the nest and act alone with its own men.
Adventurers who are good at summing up their experience have gradually found some methods and techniques to deal with the Sand Scorpion King during long-term hunting activities. The most important point among them is to find ways to lure the Sand Scorpion King out and fight it alone.
It's easy to say, but not easy to do.
I don’t know how much preparation this team made and how much effort they put in before they successfully lured the Sand Scorpion King out and created the opportunity to challenge the Scorpion King alone. Unexpectedly, the Scorpion King was unmatched in strength. Even with eight against one, they still could not defeat the Scorpion King.
The other party took care of it easily.
Seeing that the Scorpion King is finally getting exhausted, I feel really unwilling to give up at this time.
"But Lyle is dying, we have to find a place to save him!" the adventurer wielding the bat shouted.
He is the captain of this team, and he really can't let his teammates die for the sake of profit.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared and rushed straight towards the rampaging Sand Scorpion King.
"Body-breaking invisible sword energy!"
As that bright sword light passed by, the scorpion tail of the Sand Scorpion King was cut off with a sword.
The erratic figure in the air dodged and avoided the Sand Scorpion King's crazy attack. At the same time, he kicked the Sand Scorpion King in the abdomen and penetrated it with one kick.
It’s Shen Yi!
The Sand Scorpion King screamed in pain. It became alert and immediately burrowed underground in the sand, trying to escape by using magic on the ground.
Shen Yi just sneered and grabbed the air: "Come out!"
The Sand Scorpion King seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand, and suddenly flew out of the ground, twisting crazily in the air, but he couldn't get rid of it.
Shen Yi's body was like lightning, instantly passing over the body of the Sand Scorpion King. By the time he landed, the body of the Scorpion King had broken into two pieces and fell from the sky. Blood and water poured all over the sky like rain, shocking the eight adventurers.
"General... General!" The white adventurer waving the bat was so frightened that his whole body trembled.
Those who can easily kill the Sand Scorpion King in this way are probably only the generals of the fifth difficulty level, or the top experts of the fourth difficulty level.
But no one expected that someone with such strength would actually come to the second area.
Are these guys really so poor that they don’t even have equipment for juniors like the second district?
Everyone felt a sense of despair.
You must know that in front of such a strong man, they are not even qualified to escape. Instead of turning around and running for their lives, it would be more effective to immediately take out their equipment and beg for mercy.
However, at that moment, an adventurer suddenly screamed: "Pass! Home pass!"
Looking along the man's finger, a shiny yellow pass attracted everyone's attention.
The Scorpion Kings actually released a home pass. What does this mean?
The opponent is not a general, but a Level 2 adventurer!
This realization made everyone feel dizzy again.
Since when did District 2 have an adventurer who could instantly kill the Scorpion King?
Shen Yi grabbed it casually and got the home pass, along with a double C-level weapon Scorpion Tail Hook.
He came here mainly for the home pass, so he didn't care about the weapon. He was satisfied and was about to leave, when suddenly a trembling female voice from behind said loudly: "Hey! That's our thing!"
Well? Shen Yi was stunned.
Looking back, the paladin named Maria looked at him righteously, pointed at Shen Yi with his hands on his hips and said, "You stole our things!"
The adventurer wielding the bat was so frightened that he hurriedly covered Maria's mouth: "Please don't get me wrong, we have no other intentions. That is the reward you got for killing the Sand Scorpion King, and it has nothing to do with us."
Maria opened the adventurer's hand angrily: "But we hit it first, and it was seriously injured, otherwise he wouldn't be able to kill it so easily... Uh... Uh... you cover it What am I doing... Well, Zrig, you bastard..."
Zrig simply picked up Maria, let her fist, kick, and dance, and whispered in her ear: "Shut up, you stupid woman, do you want to kill us? He is lucky not to kill us!" "
"But that's...our...thing...well..."
Shen Yi took some time to watch the two live treasures having fun and smiled slightly.
He said: "You are right. It was indeed me who robbed your Scorpion King. But if I read it correctly, you wouldn't be able to defeat it if I didn't come. Instead, it might kill a few people."
Maria broke away from Zirig and shouted: "But we still contributed to killing the sand scorpion. You should share some of it with us, right? Otherwise you wouldn't be so relaxed!"
Shen Yi looked at this woman in surprise.
What kind of short-circuited brain would it take to say something like this?
But looking at this woman's angry look, she is also cute and silly.
Shen Yi finally nodded: "You are right. After all, you have contributed to the fight with Sand Scorpion, so I should give you a share. The home pass is useful to me and I can't give it to you, so I will give you this weapon."
As he said that, he threw the scorpion tail hook over.
Then he walked up to the seriously injured adventurer and said, "Your name is Lyle?"
The adventurer looked at Shen Yi blankly and nodded instinctively.
Shen Yi smiled and said: "For the sake of your name, I will help you."
The despicable medical technique was activated, and most of the adventurer's injuries were immediately healed. He stood up excitedly and thanked Shen Yi repeatedly.
Shen Yi then looked at Maria: "Is that enough?"
He thought that Maria would be satisfied, but to his surprise, Maria replied: "Not enough, we lured the Scorpion King out, and it usually comes in groups. Without us, you can't kill it alone! I I think you should give us the pass and get the weapons yourself."
Speaking of this, she rolled her eyes and said, "Of course, if you give me some extra compensation, I can consider it."
Zirig was in a hurry: "Sir, please don't listen to her nonsense. This woman is going crazy bargaining. She will fight for everything..."
Shen Yi finally understood.
Emotionally, this woman is not stupid, but she is born with this character. She is born to be greedy for money. She wants money more than her life. As long as she can fight for the benefits, she will never let go.
She is not really stupid, but she asked for benefits when she saw Shen Yi was about to leave. If Shen Yi killed the Scorpion Queen, his first reaction would be to kill her, and I'm afraid she would immediately wipe her feet and run away.
As for the possibility that this kind of behavior could anger someone and cause them to commit murder, her money-dazzled brain automatically ignored it.
This is the kind of person I'm talking about.
At this moment, Shen Yi looked at Maria, thought for a while and said, "In this case, I will give you a chance to face the boss alone. If you can seize it, all the profits will be yours."
As he spoke, he took action like lightning, grabbed Maria, and flew away with her.
A group of adventurers behind wanted to catch up, but they couldn't catch up with Shen Yi, who was as fast as the wind.
Maria was so frightened that she shouted: "Hey, where are you taking me?"
"Of course I'll take you to kill the boss. I stole a boss from you, and I'll give you one in return. Don't worry, this one is easier to deal with than the Sand Scorpion King."
"Which boss?"
"Queen Ant. I just promised my friends that I would give them a team assembly order. If you can handle it yourself, this assembly order will be yours."
"No way..." Maria turned pale with fright when she heard that she was going to deal with an ant nest that was on the same level as the Fiery Sand Scorpion. Although the queen ant has no offensive power, the guard ants and Large numbers of soldier ants are no joke.
It's a pity that she was held hostage by Shen Yi and couldn't escape even if she wanted to. She could only look at Shen Yi pitifully: "I don't want any extra compensation, okay?"
Shen Yi shook his head and replied: "No! I still have to pay you back what I owe you today. You have to take this compensation even if you don't want it!"
Maria's eyes turned white and she fainted.
So she was pinched by Shen Yi all the way from the South Second District to the East Second District. Since the Ant Hills itself was in the border area, it was not far from the Fierce Flame Desert, so when she woke up, she found that she had arrived at the Ant Hills. hills.
Shen Yi didn't do any inspection or selection. He randomly found a place where more than ten ant nests gathered, spotted a double C-level ant nest and rushed over.
Seeing the dense army of ants in the distance, Maria screamed in fright.
However, Shen Yi ignored it. Facing this surging ant army, he just held Maria between his arms, opened the way with one hand, and rushed forward in a straight line.
Facing this arrogant enemy, the entire ant army boiled with excitement, countless poisonous stingers shot out like locusts, and densely packed soldier ants surged in like a sea.
However, Shen Yi was like an armored battleship sailing wantonly in the stormy waves. Although the waves were fierce, they could not capsize the armored battleship at all.
Maria only saw the man holding her crashing into the majestic army of ants, moving forward with an unstoppable momentum. No ant could stop him even for a moment.
It wasn't until this moment that she truly understood how strong the other party was, and realized that he really didn't care about the bullshit Scorpion King's seduction tactics.
Shen Yi rushed into the ant nest and fought all the way to the deepest part. Finally he saw the queen. He put Maria down and said, "Okay, now it's yours."
Looking at the giant queen ant, and then at the countless soldier ants and five guard ants surrounding it, Maria simply turned her eyes white and fainted again.
————————
When she woke up again, Maria found herself on a mountain peak.
At the foot of the mountain are ant hills.
Shen Yi can no longer be seen around, only a few lines of words are carved on the big stone in front of him:
"You have too much appetite and too little courage. I'll give you a chance to practice alone. It's both training and punishment. The Ant Medal serves as compensation. If you can't beat me, just use the Return Gate to run away."
"P.S. Please speak softly next time when you scream, don't make it sound like you are being raped. See you again when we are destined."
"Ah!" Maria shouted almost like crazy.
This guy just hijacked himself from the South Second District to the East Second District, then left him alone and left.
"Asshole! You big bastard! Whoever is destined to meet you again, I don't want to see you in my life!" Maria was so angry that she cursed crazily. At this moment, she forgot her previous experience again.
