The cursed ants had the habits of ordinary ants. When they moved, they would definitely move in groups. Moreover, their movement speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, a dense swarm of ants appeared in front of Hades.

One swarm at a time would make even a level 10+ player’s scalp go numb. However, to Hades, this wasn’t a battle that surpassed his level. Of course, he would be able to deal with this swarm of ants that were even weaker than him.

He took a step forward and slashed at the ants.

“Oh my god, these ants are too scary.”

Lucy had never liked insects, not to mention such large ants.

She cast a holy light.

Under her four consecutive attacks, she killed an ant with magic attributes.

Not bad. This kind of ant’s defense was not high and it did not seem to be very aggressive.

At this time, a sword light flashed in Hades’ hand.

-2,741

After triggering the critical hit effect, one of the ants was instantly killed by Hades’ critical hit. The other two ants that were hit were also affected by the attack and lost their lives.

Hades sent another sword light over.

Some more ants were killed by him. While attacking, he kept changing positions, so that the ant colony did not have any chance to surround him. After every shift, several ants would fall to the ground.

Before long, this space that was not big was filled with ant corpses. Soon, new ants would appear out of nowhere and attack him densely.

Ding… [The system has discovered a passage leading to the second area of the Wailing Caves. Kill 1,000 cursed ants and the passage will open.]

The system’s notification made Hades, who had been moving and killing repeatedly, move faster.

The frequency of their attacks increased. Although there were many of these ants and they attacked at the same time, they met a high-end player with two lifetimes of experience.

Under the shocked gazes of Linda and Lucy.

Ten ants.

Fifty ants.

One hundred ants.

Two hundred ants.

Five hundred ants.



“Oh my god, this is too unbelievable.” Linda covered her small mouth with her hand, full of disbelief.

Lucy’s eyes were also wide open.

Hades repeated his movements and killing moves while silently calculating the number of ants. In less than half an hour, under a normal attack, the first one thousand ants fell at his feet.

After this ant, no new ants appeared, leaving only the ant corpses on the ground.

Boom!

A dull sound came from the ear. A faint fluorescent door in front suddenly opened, and the shape of a door slowly appeared.

Then, it stopped with difficulty.

The door was very narrow but it could allow a few people to pass through.

Ding… [You have successfully killed a thousand cursed ants. The door leading to the second area has been opened.]

There was another door in front of them and the aura from this door made people feel even more depressed.

What was at the end of this door?

What was hidden inside?

The ants just now were at the outer perimeter. If there were creatures inside, then there would be even more heavily contaminated creatures the second round.

While Hades was still thinking, Linda and Lucy walked into the second door curiously.

At this time, a notification sounded in his ear.

Ding! [The second area of the Forgotten Cave has been opened. There are more powerful guardians in the second area. Please be prepared.]

After stepping into the second area, a dull sound came from behind him. The stone door that he passed by suddenly closed without any reaction, cutting off his path of retreat.

Hades frowned, turned around, and tried to push the stone door but it didn’t move at all.

“Ah, look over there,” Lucy shouted.

A group of creatures with a black metallic luster crawled out from the shadows.

These things were actually a bunch of black scorpions!

These scorpions gave off a dangerous luster and a chilling aura.

It made one shudder.

Hades opened the Fire Dragon’s Eyes.

[Cursed Emperor Scorpion ]

Type: Magical Beast.

Level: 6.

HP: 600/600.

Physical Attack: 60.

Defense: 60.

Skill Description: Lethal Poison Hook.

Description: Originally, this group of scorpions was just a group of ordinary scorpions. However, after being polluted by the aura of an unknown evil demon for a long time, they had been demonized. With their huge bodies and weak magic attribute strength, their temperaments had also become brutal. They would attack creatures with different attributes. Their hooks had a poison effect and, when they attacked, they would also have a “dark” effect.

Hades looked over. There were a total of thirty emperor scorpions here.

Lucy and Linda, who were at the side, had their eyes tightly shut. They turned their heads around, appearing to be in great pain.

It was as if they would be in great pain just by looking at these creatures.

Hades’ grip on his sword tightened bit by bit. It was not because he was afraid of this creature but because it was obvious that Linda and Lucy did not have the ability to defend themselves, so he had to protect them well.

At this moment, the emperor scorpions had also clearly noticed them.

They immediately rushed out from the depths of the black gloom and attacked Hades and the others.

Fatal Poison Hook!

With a slight dislocation of the body, the emperor scorpion’s deadly poison had already hit the air. In a short gap, two fatal poison hooks were thrown at his body.

At this moment, Lucy saw that Hades was fighting, so she quickly cast a buff on him.

A Holy Wind of Healing increased Hades’ physique and spirit, increasing his resistance.

Hades received a buff and his entire body was covered in green afterimages, constantly changing in the air.

Around him, the other five emperor scorpions also surrounded him. Six poisonous stingers wrapped in a pitch-black luster stabbed at him at the same time.

Sealing off all of his shortcuts and escape routes, the scorpion tail stinger was the only attack method of the emperor scorpions, but this only attack method was quite terrifying.

If he wasn’t careful, he would fall into a troublesome situation.

“Get lost!”

Hades didn’t hesitate. He jumped high and easily avoided all of the scorpion stinger attacks. He landed on the back of the first emperor scorpion. Then, without looking, he slashed out with his sword aura.

At the same time, he slashed at the five emperor scorpions.

Boom!

-1,820

-1,900



Five numbers appeared on the body of the emperor scorpions and it was still an instant kill.

After that, the remaining 25 emperor scorpions directly jumped up and rushed over, directly attacking Hades.

Dodging, shifting, blocking, attacking…

Everything was as easy and casual as flowing water…
