Digger.
Insect monsters living in the southern region are about five feet wide (1.5 meters) and can reach thirty feet (10 meters) in length. They have the characteristic of sensing tremors and can judge slight vibrations within 60 feet. The burrower has a pair of giant jaws, which can bite through trees and bite the prey. It also produces strong acid in its body, causing corrosive damage to the enemy. They look like giant insects with 6 to 12 slender legs with sharp claws.
At the same time, the burrower can also perform a deadly acid spray attack on the enemy. If it cannot save the acid damage, the target will be killed on the spot!
Even if they survived by luck, the whole person will suffer very serious corrosion damage.
This is not the most deadly.
What's more deadly is that burrowers are small social creatures. Most burrowers live in groups of 2-5. They like to eat fresh meat, but they are also scavengers.
This kind of creature tends to be neutral, and rarely actively attacks when it is not hunting.
But if you are considered food by it, then your situation will be very dangerous!
The number of burrowers is not very large.
They are mainly active in the southern region, and only live in a specific geographical environment. Generally, unless something happens, the diggers rarely leave the area where they are active. At the same time, there are basically no diggers in the north, because they like wet and soft soil, and the land in the north is too hard because of the cold, which is not suitable for the survival of diggers. (biological traits!)
This is also the reason why the caravan guards couldn't identify the diggers!
"Get out of here first!"
Sauron looked around and said in a concentrated voice: "This kind of monsters will lurk underground, and it is difficult for us to actively discover them."
"Everyone, don't disperse!"
"Diggers can sense our footsteps, and they like to attack lonely prey!"
A piece of information appeared in Sauron's mind, but it was the challenge information of the digger:
"Earth diggers [group living] (level three)."
"Challenge level 8, creature level 10, has the ability to spray strong acid."
"The highest attribute is 20 points, the lowest attribute is 10 points, and the total attribute value is 80-90 points."
"Special expertise: strong acid spray, corrosive damage, bite attack."
"Challenge Difficulty: B+."
The challenge level of the digger is higher than that of the abyssal snake, because this kind of creature is elusive and can crawl underground, and several of them appear at the same time.
Once a professional killer for many adventurers!
If it is a small-scale adventurer team, once they are attacked by them, only the first round of strong acid spraying will kill some members of the team.
Dealing with this kind of bug requires strong 'detection' and 'listening' capabilities.
otherwise.
You need the skills of 'survival in the wild' to judge their location, so as to avoid being attacked by them.
Sauron stepped back cautiously.
The others also seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter, and they pulled out their weapons one after another, and evacuated towards the outside at the same time.
"Digger."
"Aren't they rare?"
Sauron carefully observed the surroundings, and at the same time concentrated on the movement underground, and said to himself, "Could it be that the burrower rampage event has been triggered?"
"Damn it!"
"Although I have killed these bugs before, I really haven't noticed when they go berserk."
"Then who will complete the task!"
Around the same time period.
Many major events have happened in this world, including the skinning incident, the chaos of the sons of gods, the ancient red dragon, the migration of giants, etc., so Sauron has no energy to pay attention to such small things as the rampage of the diggers. If the big events that happened in succession are divided into one level, the skinning incident is a level B, the chaos of the Son of God is an A level, and the birth of the ancient red dragon is a special event of level A+. As for such trivial things as the digger berserk, it can't be ranked E+ in the event level.
Unless such an event happens to happen around you, it is convenient for you to get in touch with and understand the completion of the task.
Otherwise, very few people pay attention to them deliberately.
but.
Burgworms are very rare insectoid creatures.
While they are dangerous, they also have amazing value!
Because their shells are very hard and light, if you can ask a highly skilled blacksmith (forging 300 points), the shells of the diggers can be made into armor equivalent to full-body armor, and the weight is only one-third of full-body armor. In many places, the value of such a pair of burrower armor can reach 3,000 Kindlers.
Even if the materials are sold off-hand, the value of 600-800 Kindlers can be reached!
but.
Only those highly skilled blacksmiths will buy it, and it is useless for others to buy it.
The shell of the burrower can only be made by special enchanting methods. The size of the armor of the burrower is custom-made, so if you can't meet such a skilled blacksmith, the only way is to put the head of the burrower When the shell is removed, it is a natural +1 shield with good defense and corresponding strong acid resistance.
If one can kill a Dig Worm, the income obtained may be higher than that of killing the Snake Demon!
"hiss!"
Suddenly there was a strange noise on the ground. When Sauron and the others retreated, they suddenly found a large lump on the grass beside the road, and then a huge worm with a hideous face came out from the ground. Pu Shi bit a horse, and bit off the horse's head in an instant, a large stream of blood gushed out, leaving only a dead horse with its head and body separated on the ground.
Such a strong bite!
Sauron's pupils shrank, and he quickly hid behind a big tree.
The burrower has the ability to spray strong acid once a day, which is a killer move for low-level professionals, and its power is equivalent to a magic acid arrow!
The caravan guards around them also dodged one after another, and at the same time drew out their crossbows to shoot.
"cover me!"
The captain of the guard let out a roar, and suddenly pulled out the long sword behind him, his figure became a bit bigger, with veins like earthworms appearing on his thick arms, and his skin was flushed due to excessive blood congestion. Following his roar, another caravan guard rolled on the spot, took out a small round shield to cover his chest, and at the same time filled it with a special crossbow bolt.
"violent!?"
Sauron's gaze focused, and he murmured, "Northern barbarians?!"
boom.
A slight explosion sounded, and after the crossbow shot at the digger, an explosion occurred immediately.
Even when the Digger turned his head towards the caravan guard, there was a clanging sound. Except for the explosive crossbow bolt, all the other crossbow bolts bounced off its carapace, and only a few It hit the place where it didn't have a carapace. As I said before, the carapace of the burrower is equivalent to full-body armor, so its frontal protection is at the same level as full-body armor. Ordinary bows and crossbows have no effect on it at all. Only by hitting the vital points can it cause an effective attack.
— "Strong Acid Spraying!"
A ball of dark green thick liquid was sprayed out by the digger, and the caravan guard rolled and avoided in embarrassment, but part of it still landed on him. The small round shield in the target's hand was easily corroded, and the strong acid liquid splashed on the arm quickly corroded the leather armor, and puffs of blue smoke rose from the flesh and blood on his body.
The caravan guard screamed in pain, gritted his teeth, pulled out his weapon and cut off a piece of flesh from his shoulder!
— "Heavy slash!"
The guard captain's pupils gradually turned red, and his bones crackled. Holding the long sword with both hands, he leaped forward, flying five meters into the air, and smashed at the burrower's head!
bang!
There was a sound like metal impacting.
The digger let out a scream, shook its head and bumped into it. The captain of the guard turned around to avoid his fangs, and stabbed behind him with his sword in his backhand.
The weak skin part was penetrated, and a dark green liquid gushed out from it.
"Third-tier warrior/Northern barbarian!"
Sauron didn't expect that the captain of the guard seemed inconspicuous, and his professional level was above tenth level. He held the scimitar and spun around, then rushed out from behind the big tree with a roll, avoiding the digger The line of sight ran over from the side. The digger has launched a strong acid spray, which greatly reduces the danger to Sauron. As long as it avoids its sharp teeth, even one or two attacks will not be fatal!
How can we not strive to get killing experience at this time? !
"Give me a crossbow!"
Sauron let out a low growl, and the nearby caravan guards reacted quickly, throwing the crossbow in his hand in an instant.
Wordy!
The speed of Sauron's fingers almost turned into an afterimage, and the filling was completed in an instant, and he shot an arrow towards the big mouth of the digger.
"Attack its jaws."
He threw away the fired crossbow, swooped up holding the scimitar in one hand, and when he passed by the burrower, he bent his knees and slid past, the scimitar cut a line on the worm's front skin Two feet long mouth.
clang!
The captain of the guard still attracted the frontal attention of the digger, and a pair of sharp claws on his lower limbs scratched his chest. Fortunately, he was still wearing leather armor, leaving only a shallow bloodstain.
"Roar!"
The wild roar echoed, and the captain of the guard held the long sword and slashed down, chopping off all the limbs on one side of the digger.
Sauron's figure rolled over and stood up with one hand on the ground after passing the burrower. Without stopping at all, he stepped on the burrower's back and jumped up. The digger stood upright at a height of nearly five meters, that is, the height of a floor. Half of its body was still under the soil. Sauron made a leap with his legs, and then held the scimitar in both hands and moved towards the ground. The burrower's skull pierced straight down!
"die!"
A stream of dark green blood spurted out, and a searing pain appeared on Sauron's arm.
The huge body of the digger began to tremble and struggle, stirring up the surrounding soil and splashing everywhere, but Sauron did not flinch in the slightest, but clamped its head tightly with his feet to ensure his sense of balance and strength Play while holding the handle of the machete with both hands and jerk it! His expression was slightly ferocious, blood spattered on his body, and some clothes had been slightly corroded.
boom!
There was a dull sound of falling to the ground.
Before dying, the digger struggled frantically, and then its huge body fell down.
Sauron's arm holding the scimitar tightly was also released. He was lying on the ground panting violently. There were already spots of blood on his arm, and some flesh had been corroded and burned.
"Finally dead."
He took a breath and stood up, only then did he realize that when he was riding on the head of the digger, his thigh was cut half a foot long by the sharp carapace side thorns, and blood gushed out one by one.
The fighting time is short.
Because life and death fights must not be delayed until physical exhaustion!
A caravan guard came over to support the shaking Sauron, then took out some ointment and applied it to his wound, and quickly said, "Are you all right?"
"Take off your clothes first!"
"Those liquids are highly corrosive, and the master will treat them for you later!"
One was seriously injured and two were slightly injured.
Sauron breathed a sigh of relief, tore off his clothes and bandaged his thighs briefly, and then said, "Let's go now!"
"Diggers live in groups."
"There should be other diggers nearby, our battle has already alarmed them!"
