Absolute Speed ​​of a Certain Anime

The patrol team walked around the base, while Finn, Ai Si and others regrouped and set off, heading to the 51st floor through the flat cave. Jiang Li and the remaining people went back to rest.

"Um……"

Jiang Li stood at the edge of the stronghold, looking at the passage in the distance.

Inside that flat cave is the ramp leading to the 51st floor, where Finn and his friends had just gone down not long ago.

"What are you doing standing here?"

A cold voice, unique to the elves, came from behind.

Livilia, wearing the green magic robe, came to Jiang Li's side.

Seeing that Jiang Li had no intention of returning to the tent to rest, Livilia took the initiative to walk over.

"I have a bad feeling."

"Bad feeling?"

Livilia reacted to Jiang Li's words.

She learned from Lefiya that the reason they were able to detect the conspiracy of the Istar clan in time last time was because of Jiang Li's premonition. During this expedition, Jiang Li also predicted the appearance of monsters several times.

Finn praised his premonition of crisis and believed that he even had the qualities to become the successor to the leader.

Because Finn himself has a similar ability to sense crises as Jiang Li, and has used it to avoid countless crises.

Livilia took the bad premonition Jiang Li mentioned at this moment very seriously.

"You mean Finn and the others?"

"It's hard to say. I just feel like there's danger approaching down there."

Is there danger approaching? Coming up?

Could it be that monsters from the lower level have migrated up?

第50层是安全楼层不假，但就和18层的北方湿地上有大量来自19层的怪物一样，也可能会有51的怪物跑到50层来。

"Everyone gather and prepare a defensive formation!"

Livilia didn't hesitate, and immediately turned to face the camp and shouted sharply.

Everyone in the camp reacted quickly, walked out of the tent with nervous expressions, took out their weapons from the packages, came to the front of the camp, and formed a defensive formation.

Their reactions were as quick as those of well-trained soldiers, because everyone knew that a huge threat that could cause them heavy casualties could appear at any time in the depths of the dungeon.

"At this scale, it would be almost impossible to deal with a group of high-level monsters."

Livilia returned to the center of the camp and was protected by everyone. She looked around at the team composed of a large number of Lv.3 and Lv.4, with a worried look on her face.

Because of the commission, almost all the cadres came out. There is not even a Lv.5 here. Facing the hordes of Lv.4 monsters, any loss means casualties.

"How about preparing the magic first?"

"...That's all we can do. You come and give me a signal."

Livilia pondered for a moment and decided to follow Jiang Li's advice.

She raised her favorite wand. Nine magic gems were inlaid on the hard wand. It was able to increase the power of magic to the extreme. It was one of the highest-standard wands in the underworld. Its name was Magna Elvis.

It was forged by a blacksmith from the magical kingdom of Altina, and is very suitable even for use as a staff. It is said that with Loki's help in bargaining, it was purchased for a high price of 340 million faris.

Jiang Li tried to empty his mind as much as possible, ignoring the interference of some noise and lights, and focusing his judgment on intuition.

He could clearly sense that a very terrible threat was rapidly approaching the 50th floor.

“Sing!”

Jiang Li suddenly shouted.

"—O harbinger of the end, white snow. At dusk, stir up a violent wind!"

Livilia did not hesitate and immediately began to chant the magic spell.

The magic used was different from the one on the 49th floor. Jiang Li didn't recognize this magic, but he trusted Livilia's judgment. With her attainments, she should be able to finish chanting it in about a minute.

A dazzling golden magic circle emerged from under Livilia's feet, completely illuminating the dim space.

"Ok?"

Jiang Li's eyes suddenly fixed, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Danger is approaching rapidly. The enemy is accelerating. Be careful and prepare for the impact!"

"understand!"

After Livilia began to chant, the crisis he sensed suddenly accelerated and reached its climax in just a moment.

Then, the monster appeared before everyone's eyes.

"What is that?"

"Caterworm...?"

It was a huge monster.

The overall color is yellow-green, and the soft green skin looks very soft. It is covered with thick and brightly colored stripes, which makes people know at a glance that it is highly toxic.

Its lower body has countless short legs, and its upper body stands upright like a hill on the lower body, with thin, flat organs extending to the left and right.

As soon as it emerged from the flat cave, the huge caterpillar monster immediately looked over here, as if attracted by something, then straightened its body and crawled over quickly.

Immediately afterwards, one caterpillar monster after another appeared from behind and caught everyone's eyes. The formation was so dense that it made people's scalps numb.

"Don't you look very strong?"

"The feeling of oppression is far worse than that of Fermor!"

"We can handle it, too!"

Although it is a giant monster, the senior adventurers of Loki's clan are not afraid of this kind of thing. Who hasn't killed hundreds of giant monsters? The green caterpillar with seriously insufficient pressure is obviously not enough to make everyone feel scared.

As he was speaking, the front of the camp had already come into contact with the caterpillar monster.

"Wait, don't approach rashly—"

"Uhhhhhh!!"

Before Jiang Li could finish his words, a scream suddenly came from the front.

Chapter 162: No Time, Feed Me!

2023-06-01

"Uhhhhhh!!"

Suddenly, a scream was heard from the front of the contact with the monster.

Jiang Li looked closely and saw a vanguard holding a large shield. His body was covered with a large amount of purple sticky liquid, which quickly dissolved his clothes and then corroded his skin.

"What's going on? Even the weapons...!?"

Someone on the front line screamed when he saw the big shield in his hand.

The huge steel shield he was holding was also stained with purple liquid. What was terrifying was that the shield was completely dissolved in just a few seconds at a speed far exceeding that of his clothes and skin, leaving no residue.

Equipment worth at least one million yuan was dissolved so easily?

"It's weapon destruction! The slime this monster sprays has weapon-destroying properties!"

The cat-girl with black hair immediately gave orders in a decisive manner upon seeing this.

"Don't get hit by their slime. Be careful to dodge and hit the magic stones inside the monsters as much as possible. Their skin should be very fragile!"

"learn!"

Under the command of the cat girl, the vanguards immediately changed their tactics. With the help of their supporters, they removed their shields, replaced them with offensive weapons, and began to take the initiative to attack.

"Pfft!"

"Uooohhhh!"

However, along with the sound of swords entering flesh, another scream was heard.

Looking closely, the same purple mucus emerged from the wound where the caterpillar was cut by the sword, quickly dissolving the sword while splashing on the vanguard's body, making his arm look as if a piece of flesh had been dug out, and a purple corrosive wound appeared.

"Even blood is corrosive? Doesn't that mean we can't even get close to it?"

The cat girl widened her eyes, her expression no longer calm, and she became increasingly anxious.

"Shh!"

At the same time, support from the rear finally arrived, and several arrows shot out in succession, piercing the caterpillar monster's chest like lightning.

The caterpillar's skin was extremely soft, seemingly softer than even the minotaur's. The powerful arrow penetrated into it instantly and hit the magic stone with just one strike.

"boom!"

But the next moment, purple mucus splashed out like a volcanic eruption, causing the vanguards to dodge in horror.

"You're kidding, right? Will the magic stone explode if it's hit?"

In the magician camp at the rear, a blonde elf girl, holding a strong bow, let out a dumbfounded cry.

The caterpillar monster that was hit by the magic stone exploded in an instant, causing purple slime to contaminate the surrounding ground and rocks. The vanguards retreated as if avoiding snakes and scorpions, fearing that they would not be able to avoid it in time.

It will spit out mucus from its mouth at a distance, and its blood is also corrosive when close to the enemy. It will explode after being killed.

"There's no way to attack!"

"What kind of monster is this? I've never seen it before!"

"A new kind of monster?"

Helpless panic quickly spread throughout the entire front line.

Although the oppressive power of these caterpillar monsters was far less than that of the Fomor, their threat level was far greater. Moreover, it was the first time they encountered this kind of monster. They had no available tactics, and there was no leader to command them at the moment. The entire camp became a mess.

"Should we order the vanguard to retreat?"

"No, those monsters are obviously attracted to the mages. Once the vanguard retreats, the mages will be in danger!"

The blonde elf girl refuted Jiang Li's proposal.

Looking closely, the caterpillar monsters that emerged from the flat cave were indeed rushing towards this side one after another.

They didn't seem to care about the vanguard, but were focused on breaking in, as if they were indeed attracted by the wizards.

Did they sense the threat posed by the wizards, or was it something else... In any case, the vanguard must hold on. If the wizard camp suffered casualties, it would be even more impossible to repel these monsters.

"Not okay yet?"

Jiang Li glanced at Livilia who was still chanting, and his brows gradually furrowed.

Theoretically, his intuition would give him absolutely correct instructions, and the timing of his signal to Livilia should have been correct. How come he still got into trouble within just half a minute?

Was his intuition wrong?

No, probably not.

Jiang Li's gaze was focused on the direction of the cave, from where a large number of caterpillar monsters continued to emerge, and there seemed to be no sign of decreasing.

"Do you mean to delay it for a while?"

Jiang Li vaguely understood the best tactic at the moment.

"Vanguard, stretch the line as far as possible and switch to long-range attacks!"

The shouts spread throughout the camp.

"Wait a minute, what do you want to do?"

The blond elf next to him gave him an incredulous look, "Didn't I say we can't let the vanguard separate? If we do that, the wizards will be in danger!"

"What on earth should we do?!"

The vanguards could only keep dodging as the monsters chased them. In order to stop them, their weapons were lost one by one. The entire front line was in chaos, with confused screams coming out.

"Alicia, believe me!"

Jiang Li looked at the blond elf with determination.

"I'm confident, and I'll take responsibility!"
