This can also be regarded as a guarantee that the gods of Orario will not discover the existence of time travelers.
After dealing with these things, Su Ye put all his energy into the powerful enemy he was about to challenge.
The surface desert area of Terraria.
On the wide battle platform paved with wooden boards, Su Ye looked at the sand dunes below, holding his breath.
The next moment, a huge sandworm covered with a brown and yellow exoskeleton suddenly emerged from the yellow sand and rushed towards Su Ye!
[The Desert Scourge has awakened! ]
"coming!"
Feeling the shock coming from below, Su Ye tensed his nerves and kept changing his position on the combat platform.
With an ear-piercing scream, the Desert Scourge emerged from where he was originally, and used its huge mouthparts to tear the wooden board into pieces.
"The boss in the game won't destroy the venue... Never mind."
Su Ye swung out his hook and raised his super thermal ion cannon to fire continuously.
The Desert Scourge is composed of multiple "segments" that can be damaged in multiple stages.
Therefore, attacks, spells, and weapons that penetrate are very effective against worm-like enemies.
The "phase laser ball" of the superthermal ion cannon has a powerful range killing effect.
Can reduce the health of Desert Scourge at an alarming rate.
However, the latter will not wait to die foolishly.
After drilling through the wooden board, the Boss twisted his body and flipped over, escaping the killing range of the laser ball.
When it emerged from the desert again, its body was covered with a layer of shell made of condensed sand.
Every time it swung its huge body, missiles of sand and gravel would fly towards it.
Accompanied by the howling strong wind, it is almost impossible to open your eyes.
"No wonder we have to fight it in the desert."
"This is the home turf of the Desert Scourge."
Before this challenge, Su Ye had actually tried it once.
Although the preparations were very thorough, all the enhancement potions were used.
But Su Ye still couldn't avoid the fate of being "killed at first sight".
Fortunately, after signing a contract with Shizuka Marikawa, the duration of the death penalty was halved.
You only need to spend half a day in Orario to return to Terraria.
And this time... Su Ye summoned the desert plague insects with the belief that he would win.
Unlike King Slime, Desert Scourge is the first boss of the "Calamitous" mod.
It cannot be spawned naturally and can only be summoned using the Desert Pendant item.
To make this item, you need a material called "Storm Jaw", which is dropped from the "Storm Ant Lion".
In order to collect the required number of Storm Jaws, Su Ye has been exploring the desert a lot in the past few days.
The feeling of being exposed to the wind and sun is like playing the role of a civil engineer.
However, in addition to the Jaw of Storm, Su Ye also gained unexpected gains when he was looking for trouble with the Storm Antlion.
"Squeak~"
Just as Su Ye was dodging the barrage of sand blocks from bottom to top.
Two small antlion babies are charging fearlessly.
The target of their charge was the desert plague insects that were thousands of times larger than them!
Although the result of the charge was undoubtedly being knocked away.
But at the moment of the collision, a large amount of electric sparks burst out from the two antlion babies.
While causing considerable damage to the Desert Scourge.
The baby antlion righted itself unharmed and continued its attack.
"You're very motivated."
Seeing the heroic performance of the two antlion babies, Su Ye also ignited his fighting spirit.
"I can't fall behind either."
These two baby antlions are his servants summoned using the "Storm Antlion Staff".
The duration is infinite, and the baby antlion will not die and can keep fighting.
It has a certain level of intelligence and can proactively search for enemies and launch attacks.
This kind of summoned creature is what all summoners dream of.
But in Terraria, this is standard for all summon weapons.
Boom! ! !
While taking the magic potion, Su Ye was not idle either, constantly throwing grenades into the desert below.
These grenades were not the treasures in Minami Rika's home, but props purchased from the "arms store".
Each bullet can cause up to 60 points of ranged damage, but it is easy to hurt yourself by mistake, so it is rarely used in normal combat.
As for now... the Desert Scourge is big enough that I can throw it with my eyes closed.
After a series of thunder-like explosions, two smaller "yellow sand bugs" emerged from the flying sand and dust.
But the desert plague seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this scene, Su Ye immediately felt relieved.
"It has very little health left and has entered a violent state!"
“Maybe I can pass this time!”
As long as you kill these two "yellow sand evil bugs", you can force the desert plague bugs with low health out of the sand!
The attack method of the Yellow Sand Bug is similar to that of the Desert Scourge Bug, both of which involve ramming and firing sand and gravel barrages.
However, their damage and health are only at the elite monster level, so it is relatively easy to deal with them.
If it were the previous Su Ye, he might have been in a state of panic for a while.
But after rigorous training from Sword Lady, he is now able to parry and dodge in a very professional manner.
At least the boss in front of him was not as scary as Ai Si in her serious state.
After some effort, Su Ye finally blasted the two attacking yellow sand insects into pieces.
Just as he expected, after all his subordinates were killed, the Desert Scourge couldn't help but reveal its true form!
"good chance!"
While the desert plague insects were squirming and accumulating kinetic energy, Su Ye opened fire continuously.
Groups of phase laser balls kept bombarding the body of the Desert Scourge as if they were free magic!
Feeling the pain, the desert plague insect rushed forward despite Su Ye's attack, trying to bite the human in front of it in one bite!
Chapter 45: The Zenith Sword is a distant legend
At the critical moment, Su Ye suddenly jumped lightly, and a round slime appeared under him.
A slime mount summoned by Slime Saddle!
"Goodbye, you!"
After leaving a word, Su Ye rode the slime into the air and quickly escaped from the attack range of the desert plague.
The double jump provided by the Cloud in a Bottle also works for mounts!
Moreover, the characteristic of the slime mount is that it accelerates the vertical rise and fall, and can jump to higher places!
The most important thing is that when it falls on an enemy, it will not suffer collision damage.
It can also cause damage to monsters and gain a certain amount of elasticity!
With the help of this feature, Su Ye can ride the slime and jump back and forth on the huge body of the Desert Scourge!
The shallow dungeon in Orario is small, and the city with tall buildings is more suitable for the hook.
In the world of Terraria, mounts are even more important in boss battles!
With Su Ye's continuous bombing, the number of segments of the desert plague insects became fewer and fewer.
In the end, the explosion blew up the body and the head into pieces.
Only after confirming that the Boss had dropped the treasure bag and was completely dead did Su Ye breathe a sigh of relief.
"ended."
Compared to the performance when challenging the Slime King for the second time.
In this battle, Su Ye's fighting was obviously more mature and relaxed.
There are many auxiliary effects brought by buff potions.
There are also results from the training she received from Ais.
Feeling himself getting stronger, Su Ye's heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Of course, the most rewarding moment is when you pick up the treasure bag.
After impatiently opening the Desert Scourge's treasure bag, Su Ye's inventory contained a bunch of junk.
It can't be said to be garbage, but the things are too fragmented.
Although it was a boss in the desert, a bunch of materials such as corals, shells, and starfish appeared in the treasure bag.
"I remember that in the setting of 'Cataclysm', the desert in Terraria was originally an ocean."
"It's not surprising that these things can be opened."
These fragmented materials can be made into "marine debris".
This is a special material used to craft marine-themed equipment and tools.
The armor it makes is called "Victory Tide Armor".
Wearing this armor will make you move faster in water, and it also increases your health regeneration and damage.
Obviously, this is equipment specially designed for exploring underwater environments.
After defeating the "Desert Scourge", Su Ye can begin to explore the special area under the desert - the Sunken Sea.
But before that, there are some other items in the treasure bag.
Rather, these materials are just incidental products.
The real treasure of the Desert Scourge lies in the remaining items.
These props are a necklace, a pair of swords, and a small box.
[Sand Fishing Box (Blue): Open it to get fishing-related accessories or potions]
[Hyperion Necklace (Green): Slowly restores oxygen when stationary in water and increases mining speed in liquids by 15%]
[Sahara Double Blade (Green): Provides 23 points of melee damage. Each time you hit the enemy, you will get two "Quicksand Flying Knives" to automatically attack the enemy. You can store up to 10 knives.]
Of these three items, only the last one is a weapon.
Su Ye opened the fishing box on the spot. It was a colorful bag prop similar to a treasure box.
If you are lucky, you can get fishing-related accessories, but unfortunately Su Ye only got two bottles of potions.
[Fishing Potion (Blue): Increases fishing power by 15 points, lasts for 8 minutes]
"Alright."
Su Ye reluctantly accepted his fate.
Fishing potion is one of the potions that he is currently short of materials for.
