Chapter 729 Claw Cocoon
Chapter 729 Claw Cocoon
"Claws and calluses".
Whether it was because he couldn't help but say it aloud or not, just as he was beginning to have doubts, a calm voice rang out from the side.
Beto turned around and immediately noticed the sword-wielding Taoist who had somehow gotten close to him.
Although he had just participated in the rat-catching operation, he did not seem to be affected by anything unusual at the moment. His slightly disordered aura was not detected by Beto.
Was he observing from the sidelines? Or did he not even play at all?
"Clawed calluses?"
Beto no longer cared whether the Sword-wielding Taoist had slacked off during the recent mouse-catching operation. After hearing the Sword-wielding Taoist's explanation, he subconsciously asked back.
"A kind of monster that lives in caves. Although it cannot move around freely like us, its claws are extremely deadly. It will attack any enemy that gets close without thinking. It is a natural-born guardian."
Looking at the calluses on the claws that were fighting the Rat King, a smile seemed to appear on the swordsman's mask:
"They...are not solitary creatures..."
[Little Demon - Claw Cocoon:]
Summoning requires: 3 Cocoons
Summoning Limit: ? /∞
Note: The world is bustling with activity and countless profits, yet how much can one earn amidst all the hustle and bustle? One willingly submits to the inescapable net of fate, only to find oneself entangled by the threads of destiny.
boom! ! ! !
With a loud bang, the claw cocoon hanging in the air was shattered by the Rat King's double jump in mid-air.
Looking at the cocoon of claws that he had smashed into a thick paste, the Rat King's eyes no longer held the joy and pride he had shown before.
Such a fast attack speed...
This was the impression that Cocoon Claw had given him. It not only had extremely fast speed, but also considerable attack power. Although they had only exchanged a few blows, the Rat King could clearly feel that if those claws were to cut him, he would definitely not be unharmed.
Fortunately, he was faster than his opponent, and his opponent was relatively fragile and did not have his strong defensive capabilities. Therefore, under such numerical superiority, even if the claws and cocoons had the ability to threaten him, they could not expect to gain any advantage from him.
However, this place is getting stranger and stranger; we can't stay here any longer, we have to leave quickly!
After dealing with the sharp-clawed cocoon, the Rat King quickly moved again. He tensed his muscles and leaped, this time actually crossing two suspension bridges and successfully creating a large distance between himself and the Taoists below.
Clearly, it further increased the speed... however...
Swish! ! !
again!
Another whooshing sound rang out, but this time the Rat King was prepared. He twisted his body to the side in mid-air to dodge the attack, and with a back kick, he shattered the suddenly attacking cocoon of claws.
Luckily, I...
Swish! ! !
"besides!!!!"
After defeating his opponent, the Rat King was about to revel in his victory when suddenly his hair stood on end, and danger alarms began to sound in his mind.
He wanted to try to keep dodging, but he had already adjusted his position. If he tried to adjust again, he wouldn't be as fast. Plus, the incident happened so suddenly that before the Rat King could move away, a claw blade slashed hard across his back.
boom! ! ! !
With a crisp sound, the moment the claw blade made contact with the Rat King's back, the chilling blade instantly drew a dazzling spark on its back, also bringing up a tuft of yellow rat fur.
Although no wound was inflicted, the dull thud still caused the Rat King some pain, which was certainly difficult for him to accept, given his fear of pain.
"Go to hell!"
The enraged Rat King swung his claws and instantly tore the scissor-like creature that had ambushed him to shreds.
"Bastards, you bunch of bastards, how dare you challenge the great Rat King!"
Perhaps because he was too angry, the Rat King roared and once again launched a spike attack at the ground.
Suddenly, golden rain fell again in the cave, repelling the Taoists who had wanted to pursue them.
After doing all this, the Rat King began his furious...escape...
That's right, even though he was angry, he still had to run away! He wouldn't do anything like fighting the other party in a fit of anger.
It's important to save your life!
The Rat King was pleased with his wisdom, but before he could jump onto the next suspension bridge, several more whooshing sounds came from around him.
again!
For a moment, the Rat King didn't know whether to be shocked or angry. Looking at the several clawed cocoons that suddenly appeared and attacked him, the Rat King could only fight and retreat.
How can there be so many?!
The Rat King, who thought it was over, was filled with shock and confusion when he saw the cocoons of sharp claws flying out of the darkness.
He hadn't sensed so many just now; there must have been dozens!
The Rat King didn't know why so many claw cocoons had suddenly appeared in such a short time. Little did it know that these claw cocoons would not make any movements when they had no target to attack. They would just stand there quietly, minimizing their power consumption and greatly shielding themselves from the enemy's perception.
They remain motionless as long as no one provokes them, just like a truly inanimate object.
However, once you enter their attack range, or kill one of their companions, you will acquire their hatred value, which is shared by all Claw Cocoons.
In other words, once the Rat King kills the first Claw Cocoon, the other Claw Cocoons, regardless of their location or whether the target of their aggro is within their attack range, will automatically move and begin attacking the target of their aggro.
The Rat King didn't detect so many enemies at first simply because he hadn't yet killed the first Claw Cocoon, thus triggering everyone's alert.
Now, he's really stirred up a hornet's nest—no, he's stirred up a thorny cocoon.
"I'm going to die! I'm going to die!!! I'm going to die!!!"
Although it's often said that Cocoon's mobility is poor, that's only relative. It mainly refers to its inability to move. However, in cave battles, Cocoon can use the swaying of its webs to achieve high-speed movement and attacks, effectively compensating for its lack of mobility.
Looking at the swaying cocoons of claws, the Rat King wished he could shrink his body even further, becoming a paper rat, so that all the attacks would swoop past him.
He knew this was unrealistic. Once his body shrank, his defense would be further reduced. Right now, he could still rely on his thick skin to block the opponent's attacks, but once he really shrank, he would have to face a team of rats made up of a large number of claw cocoons!
Therefore, surrounded and pursued, he dared not continue fighting and could only rely on his agile figure to leap upwards step by step.
So close... so close...
