Adams led Vivian and the others to the foot of the mountain. As they had already wiped out a large number of Zergs on their way up, they did not encounter any difficulties.

However, as they stood at the foot of the mountain and looked at the unfamiliar world in front of them, fear of the unknown filled their hearts.

“Which way should we go, Adams?” Vivian asked.

Adams scanned the surroundings. Looking at the large hint marker in front of him, he didn’t know which direction to go in, until he heard the system’s voice,

“Hint! High-rank cultivation item discovered!”

As a blue marker appeared in his line of sight, Adams immediately pointed in that direction and said, “Let’s go that way!”

Vivian nodded. She had no objections to Adams’ decision. More precisely, she was very confident in Adams’ decision.

He had been able to gather a large amount of resources, especially a large amount of food, in a short period of time. Not only did it require great abilities, but it also required exceptional luck!

Adams had such luck!

After Adams made his decision, Vivian agreed without any hesitation, and she even looked forward to it a little.

What can Adams lead us to find this time?

In order to find the high-rank cultivation items quickly, Adams subconsciously quickened his pace. Since his body constitution was already different from that of ordinary people, the people following him did not have an easy time.

“Big Brother, slow down. Let’s slow down. We can’t keep up!” Garen, who was trailing far behind Adams, shouted.

Adams only stopped upon hearing his companions’ voices. When he turned around, he saw Garen and the others trailing far behind, as well as Vivian, who was panting heavily. He had no other choice but to say, “In that case, let’s rest first! We’ll set off after regaining our strength!”

“We really do need to rest. Otherwise, we’ll all die of exhaustion before you complete your missions!” Vivian grumbled with a wry smile as she wiped away the beads of perspiration on her forehead.

When Garen and the others finally reached Adams’ side, a voice suddenly rang out in Adams’ ears, “Hint! A large number of A-rank Evil-eyed Centipedes of the Zerg race are approaching. Please be careful!”

Upon hearing that, Adams immediately became alert and shouted, “Everyone, stay alert! There’s danger!”

No one dared to hesitate. They quickly gathered together and surveyed their surroundings with their backs against each other. However, they could not find the source of the danger.

Vivian drew the Bow of Death and stood beside Adams. She asked solemnly, “Why don’t I see anything? What did you sense?”

Adams was very satisfied with everyone’s reaction speed. He then said, “Don’t worry too much. It’s just that a group of A-rank Zergs are approaching. It’s just a piece of cake for us!”

Hearing Adams’ confident tone, everyone couldn’t help but relax. However, what they saw next made them shudder.

On the ground around them, a dense swarm of giant centipedes suddenly crawled over. Each centipede was five to six meters long with a huge single eye on each of their heads. Furthermore, it could move around like that of humans, appearing extremely strange.

When Vivian saw the centipedes around her, she exclaimed in shock, “Not good! These are Evil-eyed Centipedes! Everyone, focus! We’re in big trouble!”

Adams said calmly, “There’s no need to be so nervous. After all, they’re just some A-rank Zergs!”

However, Vivan had an awful expression on her face as she said, “Although the Evil-eyed Centipedes are only A-rank Zergs, they have a very terrifying ability. They can use the single eye on their forehead to revive their dead companions. Furthermore, those single eyes are very special and extremely difficult to destroy!

“What’s even more terrifying is that these centipedes usually move together as a group. Once they encounter their prey, they will surround them first and then launch an incessant attack that will not stop until all their prey have been eaten. Therefore, in human textbooks, they are known as the Demon’s Envoys!”

Right now, Adams also became a little nervous, but he still calmly issued an order, “Garen, start the bombardment!”

“Understood!” Garen replied to him. He then whipped out a scroll, crushed it in his hand, and hurled it at the centipedes that had just encircled them.

Rip!

After a flash of lightning, a huge plot of land where the group of centipedes had been, was cleared out in a split second. Such an effective attack made everyone heave a sigh of relief.

Looks like these centipedes aren’t that difficult to deal with!

However, purple rays of light suddenly shone from the centipedes. In the blink of an eye, the centipedes that had fallen to the ground shakily stood up. The eyes on their foreheads maliciously glared at Adams and the others.

“Th-they seem to be angry!” Garen shrieked nervously as he felt uncomfortable being stared at by those eyes.

Adams’ expression turned serious as well. He had not expected the Zergs to possess such a special ability. This time, it was all his fault for being careless and dragging everyone into such dire straits.

However, Adams was not someone who would surrender without putting up a fight!

“Don’t be afraid, everyone. Don’t ever stop fighting until you are truly at the end of the road!”

Adams raised his arm and drew the Winter Sword from his waist before charging forward and slashing at the Evil-eyed Centipedes.

As an S-rank weapon, the Winter Sword had extremely powerful offensive capabilities. Under Adams’ relentless attacks, the frost continued to spread outwards, greatly delaying the encirclement of the centipedes.

However, the damage that Adams could cause was limited after all. The Evil-eyed Centipedes that died by his sword would soon be resurrected by its companions, causing the battle to go in a vicious cycle.

Not long after the battle began, the heroic Adams had already suffered many wounds, but he did not stop swinging his sword.

Vivian and the others were greatly encouraged by this scene, and their bloodlust was ignited. Each of them picked up their weapons and joined the battle.

However, Garen and the others were not on par with Adams in terms of strength and equipment. As soon as they charged forward, the centipedes threw them onto the ground. Those who were seriously injured immediately lost their ability to fight on the spot.

At this moment, Vivian was the only one who could be considered of help to Adams. She stood at the back and drew her bow. The Arrows of Death accurately nailed the evil eyes on the heads of several centipedes.

Boom!

After a burst of flames, the centipedes’ evil eyes actually shattered under the burning flames, and the centipedes that lost their eyes did not revive.

“They’re afraid of fire!” Adams and Vivian shouted at the same time when they noticed this situation.

Vivian had used up all the arrows of death that she had with her, so it was difficult for her to launch an effective attack. However, Adams’ confidence suddenly soared.

“Disgusting bugs, all of you can go and die!” Suddenly, a scroll appeared in Adams’ hand. He shouted as he threw it towards the densely-packed centipede swarm.

A huge mushroom cloud instantly rose up as dazzling flames shot up, nearly covering the entire sky.

When the flames disappeared, there were only a few centipedes left. They were trying to revive their comrades, but none of their comrades could stand up.

Vivian, who witnessed all of this, fell to the ground and muttered in shock, “Th-this is the legendary B-rank magic scroll!”
