After surviving the first "blood moon", Kevin has firmly established his foothold in desert City.
Over the next few days, he spent most of his time exploring Terraria.
However, he would also take time to go to the bed market for a happy "zero-yuan shopping" event.
Anyway, the whole city has become a "dead city".
Instead of letting the things in the store be buried by time and dust, it is better to make use of their remaining value.
According to the previous plan, Kevin robbed several jewelry stores very purposefully and successfully seized a large number of gems.
Although only a few specific types of gems can be [identified] as materials under Terraria rules.
But it's free after all, so it would be a waste not to take it.
Kevin handed over the subsequent exploration missions to Saeko Busujima, Rika Minami and others.
With their fighting power and Marikawa Shizuka's medical support, there shouldn't be any safety issues.
Even if an accident happens, you can still be resurrected.
Kevin assigned all of Saya and Busujima Saeko's roles to "businessmen"——
That's right, when the number of contractors increased, he found that functions could be redistributed.
Multiple contractors can obtain the function of "merchant" at the same time.
It's just that some contractors have contract skills, which will have additional effects when performing specific functions.
At the same time, Kevin also gave them the right to pass through the Terraria world, but they could not go to the main world where they were.
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, Kevin 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, Kevin looked out 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 Kevin!
[The Desert Scourge has awakened! ]
"Here it comes!"
Feeling the shock coming from below, Kevin tensed up 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."
Kevin swung out the grappling hook and raised the superthermal ion cannon to fire continuously.
The Desert Scourge is composed of multiple "segments", which 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, Kevin had actually tried it once.
Although the preparations were very thorough, all the enhancement potions were used.
But Kevin 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.
But this time... Kevin summoned the desert plague insects with the belief that he would win.
Unlike King Slime, Desert Scourge is the first boss of the "Calamity" 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, Kevin 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 Storm Jaw, Kevin also had an unexpected gain when he was looking for trouble with the Storm Antlion.
"Squeak~"
Just as Kevin 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, Kevin also ignited his fighting spirit.
"I can't fall behind either."
These two baby antlions are servants he 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 drinking the magic potion, Kevin 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, Kevin suddenly had an idea in his mind.
"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 they are relatively easy to deal with.
If it were the old Kevin, he might have been in a mess 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 Ais in her serious state.
After some effort, Kevin finally blasted the two attacking yellow sand bugs into pieces.
Just as he expected, after all his subordinates were killed, the Desert Scourge couldn't help but reveal its true form!
"Good opportunity!"
While the desert plague was squirming and accumulating kinetic energy, Kevin 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 Kevin's attack, trying to bite the human in front of it in one bite!.
