I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 426: Centipede Cave, More Than One

"Is everyone okay?" Alpha, covered in ashes, struggled to climb up from Fanxing and Evelyn.

"I'm fine." The monkey quickly got up and shook off the ashes on his body. The others also gradually recovered from their shock.

"Lord Alpha, we are holding on." At this time, unexpectedly, the two boar knights had been holding on to the front line. It was their sacrifice that kept everyone safe.

However, there was a sudden "bang" and the two men fell straight down. Their entire backs were torn into a bloody mess by the violent explosion and they looked to be in critical condition.

"Don't die, hold on." Alpha immediately cast magic to rescue them. At the same time, the elf also cast water and plant magic to quickly restore the bodies of the two boar riders.

With the joint efforts of everyone's magic, the wounds on the backs of the two boar knights healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, they never woke up, and their heartbeats had stopped.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise from the ruins behind them. Everyone looked into the darkness in horror, as if the terrifying giant centipede might wake up at any time.

"Don't give up, keep going." Alpha encouraged himself silently in his heart, and also cheered for the Boar Knight. He clenched his fists tightly, and then resolutely gave up the recovery magic. He walked step by step with difficulty behind the two Boar Knights, stretched out his hands, and firmly pressed on their backs.

Alpha knew that it was impossible to perform CPR at this time. The strong defense of the Hog Rider made it impossible for him to perform this emergency measure. In the moment of despair and helplessness, the lightning stimulation of the Third Commandment flashed in his mind. This was his last hope and the only method he could try.

Alpha took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, and began to mobilize the magic power in his body. His eyes flashed with determination, as if he was fighting a desperate battle with fate. As his spell sounded, dazzling lightning was released from his hands and penetrated the body of the Boar Knight.

The stimulation of lightning made the wild boar riders' bodies tremble violently, and their eyes, which were originally tightly closed, opened slightly. Seeing this, Alpha felt a spark of hope in his heart. He worked harder to use lightning stimulation, hoping to wake up the wild boar riders and get them out of danger.

However, the physical condition of the wild boar riders still did not improve significantly. Their breathing was still weak, and the signs of life seemed to be gradually fading. Alpha's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his physical strength was rapidly depleted, but he did not dare to relax at all. He knew that as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he could not give up.

During the long struggle, Alpha's faith never wavered. He used all his strength to continuously release lightning stimulation, trying to fight death in the end. He had only one thought in his mind: he must save the Wild Boar Rider, even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he would never give up.

"Lord Alpha, the giant centipede is not dead yet, it is alive again!" At the critical moment when Alpha was trying his best to save the two boar riders, the giant centipede in the passage behind him came back to life.

Alpha picked up his long knife without hesitation and rushed towards the giant centipede like a gust of wind. He leaped to the back of the centipede, but the heat had not yet dissipated and he felt a burning sensation on the soles of his feet.

"Kill." Alpha roared, and stabbed the long knife into the centipede's body fiercely. At the same time, he ran forward at an extremely fast speed, and the long knife easily cut the centipede's body like a sharp blade.

Originally, this action was almost impossible for Alpha to accomplish, but at this time the giant centipede's shell was already fragile under the impact of the explosion and the high temperature, which gave Alpha an opportunity.

However, Alpha roared and ran forward at high speed, not only because of the anger and murderous intent in his heart, but more because he needed to lower the temperature of his feet by running.

Amid the unwilling howling of the giant centipede, Alpha successfully cut open its body, and at the same time brought back Lister, Maven and others who were at the rear.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't save them all." Alpha looked at the remaining Boar Riders, revealing a sense of self-blame.

"Master Alpha, what are you talking about? Beth and Beta are eating! If you hadn't rescued them, how would they have the chance to feast on their food?" Boar Knight Captain Becca pointed at the two brothers who were enjoying the food inside the giant centipede's body, his face full of confusion.

"Lord Alpha, you saved our lives again!" Beta and Beth poked their heads out of the centipede's body and expressed their sincere gratitude to Alpha.

"I'm glad you're okay." Alpha looked at the silly expressions of the two brothers and knew in his heart that all the efforts were worth it.

"You two can eat there, but don't ruin other places." Lister looked at the centipede meat greedily and immediately joined the ranks of grabbing supplies.

"Lord Alpha, look, this is the inner elixir I took out from the centipede's head. It has magical effects and can significantly improve the speed of cultivation." The monkey happily showed his gains, with anticipation glittering in his eyes.

Alpha looked at the inner pill in the monkey's hand and frowned slightly. He knew the value of this inner pill, but he knew even more clearly that the monkey's strength was the lowest among everyone.

"Keep it, monkey. You need it now. Practice well and improve your strength." Alpha handed the inner elixir to the monkey and said earnestly.

The monkey took the inner elixir with gratitude. He understood Alpha's good intentions. Over the years, the monkey had been accompanying Alpha on his journeys through many ups and downs. However, due to his lack of concentration in cultivation, his strength had not been able to break through.

In stark contrast to the monkeys, the knights who first followed Alpha had significantly improved their strength thanks to the advanced skills taught by Alpha. Tasri and Fatam were already sprinting towards the realm of bronze knights.

"Thank you, sir!" The monkey thanked sincerely. He knew that his strength still had a lot of room for improvement, and this inner elixir would help him move forward. He did not regret following Alpha through all the experiences, because only in this way could he experience such a colorful life experience.

Monkey secretly made up his mind to work harder and live up to Alpha's expectations. He believed that one day, he could become a powerful shadow knight like Tasli and Fattam. In the future journey, he will continue to fight side by side with Alpha and write their legendary story together.

……

"Are you happy now? Are you satisfied now? How could you touch Princess Evelyn?" In the endless darkness, the elf Melissa snuggled in Alpha's arms coquettishly, complaining indignantly.

"How could I touch her? I just saw her fall, and I helped her up out of kindness. And now Fanxing is taking care of her, Evelyn has no way of knowing about this." Alpha gently comforted Melissa in his arms, kissing her forehead, his hands wandering dishonestly on Melissa's body.

"It's okay that Princess Evelyn doesn't know. What if she finds out? What will you do? She is the princess of our elves. Do you really want to live with her?" Melissa's breathing began to become rapid, and she twisted her body in Alpha's arms. It was obvious that her inner desire had been successfully aroused by Alpha.

However, just as Alpha was about to take another step, the ground suddenly shook violently without any warning. Alpha had to stop what he was doing and let go of the elf in his arms.

The two quickly packed their clothes and rushed back to the camp from two different directions.

At this time, Evelyn had also woken up, her eyes were red, obviously the sequelae of excessive use of the artifact.

"Lord Alpha, I saw an extremely terrifying creature in the centipede's nest before. There may be more than one such giant centipede, and there may be even larger centipedes underground." At this time, the monkey said the important information he had prepared to report to Alpha.

"Is this true?" Alpha frowned. They didn't have much explosives left, and the previous plan might be difficult to implement. If it was true as the monkey said, they would face a more severe challenge. Alpha's eyes swept over the crowd, and everyone's face was filled with fatigue and fear.

"Pack your things quickly and set off immediately." Alpha made a prompt decision and decided to lead everyone to continue moving upwards. They couldn't just sit here and wait for death, they had to find another exit as soon as possible. The team members acted quickly, packed up their equipment, and followed Alpha to the passage above.

The passage was filled with a foul smell, and the walls were covered with all kinds of strange creatures. Alpha held a torch and led the team carefully. The monkey walked at the front of the team, vigilantly observing the surrounding situation. Their steps were very light, for fear of attracting any unnecessary attention.

Suddenly, a low roar came from the front. Alpha stopped and signaled everyone to be quiet. They held their breath and stared nervously at the darkness ahead.

A moment later, a giant centipede crawled out of the darkness. Its body was even bigger than the one we encountered before, like a moving hill. Its hideous and twisted limbs flashed a terrifying light in the darkness. The venom sprayed from its mouth exuded a pungent smell, as if it was poison gas from hell, making people nauseous.

This was a mutant poisonous centipede. Unlike the previous one with a copper-skin and iron-boned body, this one was covered with poison. Its body was huge, about thirty or forty meters long. With such a huge body, it was simply a behemoth. Every step it took shook the earth and mountains, as if the whole world was trembling.

"Prepare for battle!" Alpha shouted in a low voice, with a hint of determination in his voice. The team members raised their weapons one after another, their eyes full of determination and courage. They knew that this would be a life-and-death battle, and only by defeating this terrifying centipede could they find a way to escape.

The battle was about to break out, and the centipede pounced on the team members with its fangs and claws bared. The team members were not afraid, they cooperated closely and launched rounds of attacks.

The swords clashed, sparks flew, and every attack was done with all their strength. However, the centipede's skin was as hard as iron, and ordinary attacks had almost no effect on it.

Alpha and the elf magician cast detoxification magic, recovery magic and blessing magic to rescue and detoxify the knight in front. The strongest feature of the poisonous centipede is its toxin. Once the advantage of the toxin is lost, the knight's powerful attack will not be a threat at all.

During the fierce battle, the team members discovered the centipede's weakness - its eyes. So they concentrated their firepower on attacking the centipede's eyes.

Finally, in a precise attack, one of the centipede's eyes was hit, and black liquid flowed out of it. After this severe injury, the centipede became even more crazy and violent, and it rushed towards the team members desperately, trying to crush them with its huge body.

The team members were not intimidated by the centipede's momentum. They flexibly dodged the centipede's attacks and continued to look for opportunities to attack. In repeated attempts, they gradually found other weaknesses of the centipede and launched a fatal blow.

After a thrilling battle, everyone worked together and successfully defeated a poisonous centipede again. The monkey acted quickly and dismembered the centipede, but the inner elixir he longed for did not appear. However, they collected a lot of toxins.

"Hurry up and clean the armor!" Alpha looked at the knights' purple lips anxiously and quickly ordered the elves to remove the toxins from their bodies. Gradually, the knights' conditions gradually returned to normal.

"We can't stop, we have to keep moving forward." Although everyone was exhausted, Alpha knew that the team couldn't stop. The giant centipedes around them still posed a huge threat.

No one dared to disobey Alpha's orders. In this life-or-death moment, along the way, Alpha's decisions have avoided too many casualties in advance, and everyone has full trust in him.

After a long and arduous journey, they finally managed to escape from the giant centipede's territory. Maybe it was one day, maybe it was two days, anyway, they had not been attacked by spiders for a long time.

"Monkey, find a suitable place and we'll rest." Alpha himself couldn't hold on any longer. He knew that everyone had to rest to recover their energy.

"Monkey, go find a suitable place, we need to rest." Alpha felt that his physical strength was about to reach its limit. He knew clearly that everyone must rest in order to recover their energy.

They continued to move forward, with the monkey exploring the way ahead, looking for a safe and comfortable place. Finally, the monkey found a cave that seemed to be a temporary shelter. Alpha and the others followed the monkey into the cave.

The cave was relatively spacious and the ground was relatively flat. They all found a place to sit down and relax their tired bodies.

Alpha closed his eyes and felt the tranquility in the cave. The escape during this period had exhausted them both physically and mentally, but they knew that they could not stay here for too long.

The outside world is still full of dangers, and they must recover their strength as soon as possible and move on.

After a short rest, Alpha stood up and checked everyone's condition. Although everyone looked exhausted, their spirits were still good. They encouraged each other and prepared to face the next challenge.
