Chapter 339: Who is the oriole

The battle broke out suddenly!

Almost at the same time they smelled the stench of decaying corpses, the two knights were already aware of the danger.

But before they rushed out of the creek, a black torrent of terrifying insect swarms rushed out of the knee-deep grass nearby.

Soros, who had been dealing with evil insects for a long time, didn't know that this group were not ordinary mutated insects, but carrion beetle larvae watered by insect demons with human flesh and blood. Although they are small in size, their carapaces are as solid as a finger-thick metal armor.

Although such hardness is not enough to prevent him from cutting them one by one, like chopping melons and vegetables, they will be chopped to the ground. But in the face of the opponent's steady stream of numbers, even if Soros has crushing strength, it is difficult to resist the attack of the beetle tide.

The scavenging beetle larvae probably don't have any special means of attack, just a hard armor and a poisonous mouth are enough.

They devour rotten flesh and blood all year round, so their saliva is naturally poisonous. After being bitten and scratched by their terrifying large claws and serrated mouthparts, the toxins adhere to the wound, causing the flesh to fester and the wound cannot heal.

Therefore, being besieged by such a group of beetles that are only the size of a fist but have a steel-like carapace and are poisonous in their attacks, it is difficult for even the Radiant Knight to protect himself.

As for the already scarred Spellbreaker Sim, after killing more than a dozen beetle larvae, he was overwhelmed by the swarming insects, leaving only a wriggling pile of humanoid insects in place. .

prick...

Brilliant and bright fluorescent light burst out from the body of Radiance Knight Soros, and in the burst of violent energy, the beetle larvae gathered around him were blown away.

A strong, almost terrifying energy wave storm gathered on his long rune sword, but when the violent sword attack was ready to go, he instinctively hesitated.

With this sword strike, the dense swarm of insects suffered heavy losses, but Sim, who was surrounded by the swarm, could not even think of surviving.

However, during such a moment of hesitation, a severe stabbing pain came from his lower limbs. The beetle larvae that surrounded him again had already bit through the steel boots, and pierced his calf with their pincers.

At the same time, a small energy storm erupted in the worm pile.

Amidst the swarm of insects, broken insect limbs and disgusting insect juice filled the field of vision...

Spellbreaker Sim crawled out of the worm pile roaring.

With a violent breath of energy flowing, Sim yelled violently, grabbed a beetle with both hands, and crushed them abruptly!

Soros was first surprised and then happy, and shouted: "Come here, I will take you out!"

"Leave me alone..." A stern look flashed across Sim's rough face: "My lord, attack quickly! Leave me alone, I... I can't do it anymore..."

Soros was slightly stunned, and when his eyes fell on Sim, he was instantly relieved.

On the burly and sturdy Sim, where the metal armor could not cover, there were bulges swimming quickly under the skin.

Some beetles had already drilled into his body, frantically gnawing and devouring his flesh and blood.

Looking at the unbearable Soros, the tyrannical energy on Sim's body became more and more violent.

"My lord, I'll take a step first!"

Sim roared mournfully, and finally blew himself up!

The violent explosion blasted with bone fragments and vigorous flesh, and instantly swept across a vast space of nearly twenty meters.

Countless beetles were battered and battered, causing casualties.

Although the carapaces of the beetles a little farther away were not pierced, they were swept by the violent shock wave, and their fragile organs and brains were turned into a bloody paste by the force of the sound waves, and they also crawled to death one after another.

With just one blow, nearly a hundred carrion beetle larvae were dragged by Sim to die together!

"Sim..."

Witnessing this scene, Soros, the brilliant knight, was so angrily that he almost burst into tears, and he didn't hesitate to strike the berserk blow that he had been preparing for a long time.

In the next second, a more violent and ferocious energy storm erupted among the worms!

The egg-shaped shock wave wrapped countless black beetles and swept away in all directions, destroying everything it passed, and it was impossible to resist.

And this blow also showed the violent side of the terrifying attack of the second-level shining knight without a doubt.

Although there are not as many knight professions as casters, they have such flexible long-range attacks. But when it comes to the energy concentration of short-range attacks, wizards just don't want to catch up with knights' defense-breaking and bag-piercing abilities on horseback.

After all, most of the energy condensed by the wizards comes from the free elemental energy in the space. Although the power is strong, it is a bit slack. However, 10% of the knights' explosive power comes from within their bodies, and they can completely control these energies, like their arms and fingers.

Therefore, at the same level, once an elemental wizard is approached by a knight, it basically indicates that he is not far from defeat and death. One of the most important reasons why bloodline wizards are respected is that they are capable of both near and far, and their melee combat ability is not weaker than that of long-range attacks.

This makes them almost not too obvious weakness!

Such a violent and ferocious blow, even with Soros' strength, could not be easily delivered.

In the past, they had the support of abundant magic power crystals. Once they exhausted the energy in the rune armament, they just had to find an opportunity to replace the energy crystals. But now, they have become bereaved dogs, where is there any chance and way to get new magic power crystals

So after relying entirely on his own reserves to send out this earth-shattering blow, Soros's legs went limp, and he almost fell to his knees.

But at this moment, there were strange noises coming from the bushes in the distance outside.

Huge beetles with black armor and green wings flapped their wings and flew slowly from a distance.

Damn, it's a real carrion beetle!

swipe...

Two bright energy sword blades came out from the sword, hitting the two carrion beetles in the lead and flipping several times in the air. But after they flapped their insect wings and adjusted their posture, there were no obvious scars on the black carapace.

Damn, these beetles are tougher than ever!

With the strength of the glorious knight Soros, the two sword attacks just now had an energy attack intensity of 50 or 60 degrees, at least. But these beetles endured it 'without changing their expressions', which made his complexion even more ugly.

Fortunately, these carrion beetles do not move fast. Before they can form an absolute number, it is still difficult to surround and kill a second-level shining knight.

Soros didn't dare to stay here for a long time, the turbulent energy gathered behind him, forming a pair of bright and dazzling wings of light. With the assistance of the wings of light, he sprinted forward quickly, even faster and faster, running higher and higher, with a tendency to fly in the air.

This is a combat ability that the Radiant Knight has researched and figured out after being exposed to rune energy for a long time.

But in the final analysis, it is actually just a special use of rune energy!

Seeing the glorious knight Soros volleying in the air and about to rush out of the siege, a black shadow as fast as lightning suddenly flew into the sky and collided with him.

Boom...

With a muffled sound, following an invisible shock wave, the wings of light behind Soros suddenly shattered, and he also fell obliquely.

With him, there is that mysterious black shadow.

In the collision just now, Soros' entire body was wrapped in thick armor and energy. Coupled with the flying speed so fast, one can imagine the impact on the black shadow that collided head-on with him.

The shadow fell into a cluster of bushes.

When 'he' stood up crookedly, the surface of the condensed body of countless black beetles was continuously dropping black spots down.

In fact, those were not black spots, but dead beetles one by one.

Even the evil bug Entik couldn't survive the impact just now!

Seeing the main messenger behind the black bug swarm finally show up, Soros, who was still spinning in the sky, roared angrily, and fierce energy sword blades slashed towards Entik's bug body frantically.

Three carrion beetles flapped their wings and flew over, standing in front of Entik, resisting all attacks with their black carapace as hard as heavy armor.

But before they could adjust their bodies, Soros had already rushed forward. The rune long sword, which was as bright as a lightsaber, flashed repeatedly, piercing directly through their wide-open mouthparts, shaking the internal organs into a pile. blood sauce.

Although the carrion beetle's body is strong, it is difficult to achieve the same toughness in the body. Therefore, facing the puncture with such a concentrated long sword, Soros almost killed them one by one.

Seeing the three well-cultivated carrion beetles being killed, Entik, the scorpion that dangled to his feet, opened his mouth wide and hissed sharply at Soros. All of a sudden, countless scorpions sprayed out from its mouth, hitting the opponent head-on and face-to-face.

Soros swung the long sword, and the violent energy blade was no longer separated from the body, but attached to the rune long sword, instantly protecting the front of his body tightly.

All the scorpions that hit his blade storm instantly disintegrated into pieces, and the foul-smelling purple-black juice splashed everywhere.

And he, while waving his long sword to resist the endless insect attack, quickly approached Entik.

As a professional knight, the biggest disadvantage is that you don't have any mobility. If you want to escape, you can only break out of the encirclement with one sword and one sword, there is no other way!

However, when his speed was suppressed by the evil insect Entik, many carrion beetles with black armor and green wings had already surrounded him. Now that he wants to break out again, the difficulty will be countless times greater than before!

"Don't try to escape! Stay here and become a part of my insect body..."

Entik Jie Jie Jie screamed, and the ear-piercing hiss was almost deaf.

The fighting on the battlefield instantly escalated again!

However, at this moment, in a dense tree canopy two to three hundred meters away, a thin bat with gray hair and red eyes is crouching on the branch of a tree, watching the fiery battlefield from afar...
