Digging to Survive: I Can See Hints

Chapter 265: Self-Defeating

Before long, it was as though there was an earthquake on the ground. There were constant tremors from where Klein was standing.

Suddenly, a three-or four-meter-long earth spike shot out from the ground.

The top end was extremely sharp, as though it was a treasured sword that had been constantly polished. It could cut through iron as though it was mud.

Such an earth spike could even cripple a person standing on it, much less the ground!

However, this earth spike seemed to have alarmed the ground. Soon, a second earth spike rose.

The second earth spike was slightly slower, but it was even faster. It seemed to have formed a chain reaction.

The third earth spike rose rapidly, only two steps away from Klein.

The fourth…

The fifth…

Klein had long felt the violent movement under his feet, but helplessly, the speed of the earth spike was too fast.

Furthermore, he was three to four meters tall. There wasn’t enough time to use wind magic to fly.

With this in mind, Klein clapped his hands, and a golden spell spread out from his hands. Then, Klein pressed down on the ground, and golden spells flowed out from his hands. In a short moment, they formed a golden platform where Klein was standing.

Not only that, if the Armored Scorpion was on the ground, it would definitely realize that the gold element spell had strengthened the spot where Klein was standing.

Its defensive power had been increased tenfold.

However, the earth spike was still frantically piercing through the ground, but when it reached Klein’s feet, there was a rumbling sound.

Just as it was about to pierce through Klein in one go, it was directly suppressed by the gold element spell that had been strengthened under Klein’s feet.

With its spell interrupted, the Armored Scorpion let out a muffled groan, and its pincers that had just grown back instantly exploded.

In an instant, blood and flesh splattered everywhere. It was a tragic sight!

Sensing that Klein wasn’t easy to deal with, the Armored Scorpion immediately wanted to run.

And at that moment, Klein didn’t have the time to beat up a drowning dog. At that moment, the attacks of the Harpy and Rogue Archer had arrived.

First, there were five consecutive shots. The terrifying speed penetrated the dust in the sky and brought with it waves of noise.

Klein didn’t dare to be careless and had already chosen to use earth magic to resist.

However, the feedback from the five consecutive shots on Klein’s stone wall wasn’t right, and Klein immediately noticed it.

At the beginning, he didn’t do much research because the Harpy’s attacks had also arrived.

The dense sonic wave attacks turned the Harpy in the sky into a fighter plane, constantly firing at Klein.

But without exception, their accuracy was very poor.

After Klein dodged the first wave of attacks, the doubts in his mind grew heavier.

‘The performance of the two monsters isn’t right!’ Klein thought to himself.

First was the Rogue Archer. Although he didn’t see its physical body, from the chain arrows it fired, its speed was fast, fierce, and its accuracy was terrifying.

If it wasn’t for Klein’s quick reaction, the invisible arrows would have been enough to turn Klein into a hedgehog.

From this, it could be seen that the Rogue Archer wasn’t undeserving of its reputation.

But this time, through the feedback from the earth wall, the Rogue Archer had missed.

That’s right, it had missed by more than half a body length.

In other words, even if Klein stood still and didn’t do any defense, it would be very difficult for the Rogue Archer to pose a fatal threat to Klein.

Furthermore, it wasn’t just the Rogue Archer. Even the Harpy in the sky had missed.

Compared to the Rogue Archer, the Harpy had a better field of vision, a greater range of attack, and a lower chance of missing.

‘Why didn’t they lower their aim before? Why did they lower their aim this time?’

‘Could it be that they were tired after launching so many attacks?’

Klein shook his head at this possibility.

‘That’s impossible. How could a tier 6 monster be so weak?’

Not to mention the tier 6 monsters in front of him, even the Blood Ape, Ghoul, and Stone of Destruction that had fought Klein for a few hours. Weren’t they filled with energy and powerful magic?

They didn’t show any signs of exhaustion.

Instead, it was him who was repeatedly forced into a desperate situation by them.

But if that wasn’t the case, what else could it be?

Klein knitted his brows tightly. He felt that understanding this point was very likely the key to breaking the situation.

These monsters weren’t strong.

They weren’t even comparable to the Blood Ape’s strength.

Klein could suppress one of them with a single hand.

After all, he had the divine artifact, the Endless Sword. Even a giant skeleton as powerful as the Stone of Destruction wasn’t able to block Klein’s saber beam, much less these tier 6 monsters in front of him.

But when they gathered together, it was a very powerful combination.

First was the stealthy Rogue Archer. His attack speed was extremely fast, and his attack range was very far. The most terrifying thing was that his weapon didn’t show itself before or after the attack.

One could only judge the opponent’s attack by sound.

Back then, Klein hadn’t been able to find the source of the attack at the first moment, so he could only passively activate the earth wall to block it.

If someone as strong as Klein was so passive, wouldn’t the others be sending him to his death?

Then, there was the Harpy in the sky. The sound wave attack, coupled with the fact that it was high up in the sky, had an extremely wide range of attack. Furthermore, the strange sound wave could even break through strong crowd control. It was simply a monster with high output and high density.

There was also the Armored Scorpion. The most disgusting thing about it was its innate skill, which allowed it to be like a fish in water.

If it wasn’t for the earth elemental spell, it would be very difficult to grasp the place where it appeared.

Once you were caught off guard, the gigantic Armored Scorpion would instantly appear in front of you, giving you a terrifying blow.

Klein had already tried this.

If it wasn’t for Little Wind’s forceful control that interrupted the Armored Scorpion’s attacks, Klein would probably have already been killed!

Therefore, to defeat them and obtain the platinum treasure chest, the most important thing was to destroy them one by one.

With this thought in mind, Klein looked up.

At this moment, the surroundings were silent, as though nothing had happened.

The Armored Scorpion, the Rogue Archer, and the Harpy didn’t make any movements either.

Clearly, Klein’s strength had exceeded their expectations.

He had blocked two of their combined attacks in a row, and he was able to easily injure the charging Armored Scorpion twice.

All of this meant that Klein’s strength was definitely not weak. Once Klein found an opportunity, it was very likely that it would be their end. Therefore, they were extremely cautious, trying to not give Klein any chance to spare.

A cloud of dust filled Klein’s vision. Although the Armored Scorpion’s earth spikes didn’t hurt Klein, they still stirred up a large amount of dust, enveloping the area where Klein was.

It constantly suppressed Klein’s vision, making it difficult for him to see anything more than two meters away.

Just as Klein was about to cast a wind spell to disperse the dust in front of him, his raised hand suddenly paused.

Suddenly, Klein seemed to have thought of something.
