Chapter 338: Praying mantis catching cicada

Views:

As the cavalry squad advanced separately, the battle in the dense forest became more intense.

"Master, let Kenser and I go to attack, and make sure to keep this group of people!" It was Wensol, the most powerful blood knight under Mary, who spoke.

Before becoming the Blood Knight, this Wensol seemed to be the most prestigious leader of the conservative knights among the Radiant Knights. It's a pity that at this moment, he has lost the glory and pride of the glorious knight, and has become a loyal servant kneeling in front of Mary.

Even at this moment, even if he wanted to raise the butcher knife to his former comrades-in-arms, the blood knight Wensol did not hesitate or bear it. On the contrary, in his blood-red pupils, Mary could see a 'little' excitement as the killing feast was approaching!

"Go, my warrior! Use the enemy's head to show your valor!" Mary blinked her ruby-like blood eyes, and softly ordered: "Except for those two glorious knights, the rest are up to you to slaughter! "

In Mary's clear voice full of charm, nearly half of the remaining vampire group immediately came out of their empty nests, and followed several blood knights straight to the terrifying battlefield that suddenly became white-hot.

When the surrounding area became quiet, the vampire 'Count' Wenlier, who was the first to follow Mary, appeared beside her.

Before becoming a vampire, this Venlier was also the supreme ruler of Lanqiu City. However, in the vampire camp that pays attention to strength, these secular identities are not worth mentioning at all. So in order not to lose Mary's favor, "Count" Wenlier still abandoned his past identity, willing to become an inconspicuous low-level vampire beside Mary.

In this team that emphasizes bravery and strength, a vampire like Wenlier without any talents or specialties will not be taken seriously. But this still couldn't help Wen Lier, who was naturally wily and calculating. After following Mary for less than half a month, he has become an indispensable "military adviser" by Mary's side with his excellent planning and ruthless means.

And this old 'fox' knows how to keep a low profile.

When Wen Sol and other blood knights surrounded Mary, he hid far away and never showed his face. Only when there was no one around Mary, he would rush over and use his unique mind to solve the master's problems.

"What's the matter? Have you found any trace of that bug?" Mary asked without looking back.

Ever since she discovered Wen Lier's incomparable talent, Mary allocated more than a dozen low-level vampires to him. And relying on these dozen or so subordinates, Wenlier soon became Mary's most important secret agent and chief intelligence officer.

A series of dazzling lights erupted from the battlefield in the distance, and small suns rose slowly in the forest. The ancient trees crumbled, the forest sea was turbulent, and swarms of vampire bats rushed left and right in the dense forest, avoiding the wanton splash of violent energy.

Mary felt a slight tingle in her soul.

This is the soul backlash brought about by the destruction of her direct blood slaves.

From this, it can also be imagined that the fierce battle in the depths of the dense forest at this moment has reached the point where there is a fight between life and death. But even so, Mary still stood proudly on the top of the ancient tree, without any intention of stepping forward to help.

Vampires, their own strength is one way to rise, and having many powerful blood slaves is another way to rise!

The 'partner' who has returned to the wizarding world seems to be extremely good at creating a strong subordinate who saves worry and effort. Therefore, 'the one who is close to vermilion is red and the one who is close to ink is black'! For no reason, Mary also became obsessed with this savage fighting method of whistling in, whizzing away, catching the enemy and fighting wildly.

However, Mary knew that that guy did not have the ability to "predict the enemy's prophet", so she also placed 120% trust and high hopes on this "cunning" vampire who suddenly appeared, and began to gradually increase the authority in his hands.

"Master, although the outside sentries didn't find any trace of the bug, I'm sure he's still ambushing around us." Wen Lier turned into a gentle human nobleman, and used his clever mind to help Mary analyze the bug. Said: "This is already the lair where the last batch of witcher knights are hiding. If that worm doesn't want to miss the opportunity to grow the worm army, it must compete with us for the rations here."

"Well, go on!"

"That guy, the evil insect, is at odds with his master, so he must be on guard against his master. This is what both of us will do to nibble on the enemy's small troops on the periphery. But who can't help but want to attack that In the demon hunting camp, I am afraid that regardless of victory or defeat, the other party will come to attack behind the scenes..."

"That's why I gave you so many people, didn't I just want you to find out the whereabouts of that bug in advance?"

"I'm afraid it's difficult!" Wen Lier frowned and smiled bitterly: "Master Xie Chong is the best at stealth. If he wants to hide in the ground, it may be difficult to find him with only a dozen or so spies." .”

"It's just fine if he doesn't come out. Then let him hide in the dark!" Mary's bloody eyes narrowed slightly, and she couldn't help but proudly said: "We can take the opportunity to continue to grow and develop. When the snowball rolls into a snow mountain, I think he will still be there." Why are you arguing with me?"

"My lord, we must be careful when we act." Wen Lier couldn't help worrying: "I'm worried that Mr. Evil Worm will most likely attract the demon hunter knights to deal with us, forcing us to fight the opponent in advance!"

"Well, I understand!" Mary is no longer the unrestrained woman who fought headlessly and recklessly in the past. Hearing this, she thought for a moment: "After this battle is over, the losses of the Outer Legion may not be small, but then As long as one of the two shining knights can survive the first embrace, we still make money! After the battle is over, I will send you another 100 people from the outer legion, and you must keep an eye on that bug and never let it Suddenly ran out and interrupted my plan! Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Wen Lier immediately bowed and saluted.

Just as the two were talking softly, the battle in the dense forest suddenly began to spread into the distance. It seemed that the glorious knight could no longer withstand the siege of two second-order blood knights and many vampires, and began to break through desperately.

"Let's go, catch up and have a look!"

Mary took Wenlier into the sky, transformed into two huge bats, one red and one gray, and rushed into the forest with flapping wings.

When they were far away, a few bat men secretly hiding in the surrounding jungle didn't notice anything unusual, so they got out of the bushes, tree holes, and grass, and flapped their wings to catch up.

The abnormal sounds of energy explosions came and went, extending into the distance continuously.

Finally, half a quarter of an hour later, the jungle where Bloody Witch Mary once lived became quiet again.

However, this silence did not last for a few minutes before it was broken by a new strange noise.

The black soil around a tall ancient tree silently arched a huge bag of soil. When the soil lump rose to a height of more than one meter, the top burst suddenly, and countless horrible insects gushed out from it.

These bugs are not big, each only the size of a fist, but the black carapace on the outside of the body is shiny, and there is a faint magical aura shining on it.

After the black beetle got out of the wormhole, it didn't scatter around, but gathered together, bulging crookedly to form a weird worm-like figure.

After a while, the worm-like figure stabilized its body, and countless squirming beetles put together the ugly and ferocious face of the evil insect Entik.

"Mary...Mary..." Entik's strange insect body let out a low, tooth-sore hiss: "Without that kid, do you think you can still be my opponent?"

"Want to lure me out and kill me? Jie Jie Jie... Why don't I want to devour your vampire group and use your blood essence to water my great worm body that is about to take shape..."

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight... Well, I didn't expect that you now have eight wizard-level vampire subordinates! But compared with the great Entik, your strength is not worth mentioning at all, Jie Jie Jie..."

With the sharp hissing of the evil insect Entik, the black beetles gushing out of the wormhole became bigger and bigger. Among them, the number of carrion beetles with black armor and green wings and corpse spots on the back has reached an astonishing 34.

These carrion beetles are no longer just a larva like they used to be. After more than half a year of uninterrupted watering of flesh and blood, these 34 carrion beetles have grown into mature bodies, and each has a powerful combat power of a wizard.

Although Entik's body is only as strong as a new wizard, but with this group of subordinates, he is confident that he can defeat any elite wizard head-on. Even if he faced that Greem again, he still had the confidence to win!

"Grim... Greem... haven't you always wanted to kill me? Then I'll cut off your accomplices first. Then I'll go to the wizarding world to find you! Jie Jie Jie..."

Roaring a few words as if venting frantically, the evil insect Entik closed his eyes and carefully checked the eyes and ears of the flying insects arranged in the distance, and accidentally found two "fish that slipped through the net" that had just escaped the net. And one of them is the prey he covets - the shining knight.

This discovery can't help but make him overjoyed!

Under the command of his weird worm hiss, thousands of black beetles merged into a black torrent like arms and fingers, re-injected into the broken wormhole, and quickly approached the target along the wormway dug out of the ground.

Almost instantly, half of the beetle was no longer seen in the woodland that was just like a nest of terrifying insects.

...

Thirty miles away at a mountain stream.

Amidst the cheerful flow of the clear stream, two tall figures in ragged clothes and covered in blood crawled out of the stream, crawling on the weedy bank and panting rapidly.

In the jungle in the distance, there are countless black figures circling rapidly, as if searching for something. Slightly startled, the two submerged their bodies into the icy water again, leaving only their eyes and nostrils on the surface of the water, silently monitoring the movement in the distance.

Relying on the cold stream to cool off their body temperature, these vampire bats, which have a keen sense of smell for human beings, lost their traces. After wandering around for a long time, they could only disappear into the distant jungle.

"Wait a little longer! We won't go out until they are far away!" The shining knight named Soros ordered softly.

Sim, who was covered with dense wounds, could only endure the pain and continued to soak in the water.

The surrounding jungle gradually quieted down.

It was getting quieter and quieter, and the quietness even made both of them a little scared!

At some point, a disgusting stench of rotting corpses suddenly wafted through the silent forest...
