This is a five-foot-long giant centipede, purple in color, with a black head and white legs. It has at least a thousand legs, each with venom glands. Although there have always been a lot of cockroaches, rats, centipedes and the like in the Dawn Camp, there are definitely no such big ones. It can be classified as a monster.
The giant centipede emerged from nowhere and was crawling on the wall. Several tentacles as thick as a thumb stretched out from behind... Two, three, and there were constant snapping sounds outside the half-covered house. Centipedes The sight of centipedes crawling through the cracks in the door one after another is really ferocious and scary.
Zhang Mu didn't expect that he would be so unlucky. First he was attacked by monsters in the square, and now he encountered these reptiles at home. Centipedes don't like things that glow and heat. One of them raised its head and shot out venom, which shattered the light bulb in the bedroom and plunged the entire room into darkness.
Zhang Mu had already drawn his sword, and the first thought that flashed through his mind was to move the box out first. There is a large amount of food and production resources stored there. If it is destroyed by monsters, it will be a disaster.
"Jiji!"
Perhaps the sound of drawing the sword startled the centipede, or perhaps after the light bulb was shattered, Zhang Mu became the highest heating element in the room. The centipede paused for a moment, then arched its head and made an attack stance. Several poisonous arrows were shot out, Zhang Mu quickly avoided them, and the poison corroded most of the table. The poison evaporated very quickly, and the purple-red poisonous mist filled half of the bedroom in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Mu inevitably inhaled a breath of poisonous mist, which felt like a ball of fire. His lungs were burned and there was a sharp pain. His eyes felt like pepper water had been poured into them. The pain was unbearable and he could not open them. There was a faint blood flowing out. This will definitely lead to blindness.
Zhang Mu first slashed out a sword energy to cut off the centipede. Thick green liquid splashed on the wall. A small pit was corroded into the wall, and more poisonous mist evaporated. Zhang Mu rushed to the bed, opened a dark layer, struggled to pick up the heavy box, and threw it out of the window with all his strength.
The number of centipedes in the house increased a lot, and several of them came to Zhang Mu's feet. The poisonous fog became thicker and thicker. Zhang Mu was in a bad situation, so he immediately made a seal with his hands - "Soul Curse Seal!" The centipedes were disturbed by the spell. They became crazy, biting and fighting each other, killing each other, and became chaotic.
Zhang Mu took the opportunity to break out of the window, took out a bottle of antidote potion and drank it. He checked his body and found that his health had been reduced by about 65 points. The poisoning condition was better than expected.
There was an exclamation in the girls' dormitory, and Du Rongrong was heard screaming: "Ah - big centipede!"
More than ten women rushed out from inside, including Leng Yun, Lin Caiyan, and Du Rongrong. These people looked very embarrassed. Others were also alarmed. Centipedes were found in many rooms. They were so shocked that everyone ran out and came to yard.
Lei Ming came out fully armed: "What's going on?"
Du Rongrong's hair was disheveled and one of her shoes was missing. She patted her chest and said in shock: "A few big centipedes got into the room. They spit poison. Fortunately, I can run fast."
"Quickly, go get a few people and remind nearby residents not to be injured by poisonous centipedes." Zhang Mu saw that the three rooms in the yard were more or less filled with poisonous mist, so he knew that there must be a lot of centipedes in this house. Is there anyone else in there?"
Lin Caiyan looked around before replying: "No, everyone ran out as soon as they heard the noise."
Black Claw, who was taking a nap in the yard, suddenly roared, rushed over, bared his teeth and growled several times at the house.
"Be careful, the reptiles are out."
The room in the house was suddenly pushed open by something, and then I saw three or five giant centipedes, almost four feet long, slowly coming out of the room. Some shuttled around the walls, some climbed up to the roof, and a few Leave the house and head towards the few people.
"Jiji!"
When the centipede discovered the creature, it made a strange cry and sprayed out venom. Although it didn't hit anyone, the poisonous mist evaporated quickly.
"Be careful, don't inhale the poisonous mist!" Everyone hurriedly retreated, and saw more and more centipedes coming out. There were twenty or thirty centipedes in sight. They walked up and down the house, making a snapping sound when their legs crawled, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Du Rongrong summoned the death mantis, "Disgusting insects, if you dare to get into my room, if I don't kill you all, my surname will not be Du!"
The death mantis spread its wings and flew out, striking four or five times in succession. Centipedes are very agile and know how to bounce and dodge. They only hit 2 of them. Before they could continue attacking, they were sprayed with poisonous centipede venom. Once exposed to the venom, the green body turned black and even rotted. Under the simultaneous attack of twenty or thirty centipedes, the death mantis immediately lost its blood.
Du Rongrong quickly used counter-summoning to send the Death Mantis back, and was about to summon the Mushroom King.
"It's just a level 15 black iron elite. The poison removal solution is a bit tricky and not very powerful. If you use the Mushroom King, the surrounding houses will be destroyed!"
"If we don't kill them all quickly, the centipedes will spread!"
Some centipedes have scattered around.
"give it to me!"
Zhang Mu made a spiritual curse seal and landed on the largest group of centipedes. The group of centipedes suddenly paused, then fell to the ground and all fell into a deep sleep. They are very weak compared to Zhang Mu and can be hypnotized easily.
The flying sword swept away the cold light and cut two centipedes in half. A large amount of dark green liquid filled a drop. The centipedes were attacked and the hypnosis was released, but they were unable to move. Zhang Mu aimed at the centipede, which was still alive, and each powerful bullet penetrated the centipede's head.
Probably feeling that his kind was being slaughtered by humans, the centipede, who was not hypnotized, fell into rage.
These ferocious and ugly centipedes gathered from other places and attacked everyone at an unimaginable speed. The centipede's eyes are blood red and full of violence. Although its attack method is monotonous, it is very difficult to deal with.
However, the centipede is difficult to deal with, but it is too fragile, with extremely low health and defense. In such an open place, the effect of poisonous mist is greatly weakened. If everyone joins forces to attack, especially magic attacks, they are not enough to rely on. In the end, in just ten minutes, all the centipedes that broke into the house were eliminated.
"The source was found!"
In a corner of the yard, the soil was turned over, and there were three or five cracks in the ground. The centipede should have emerged from this. Zhang Mu sealed the cracks in the ground and asked Huangquan No. 1 to wait here, and then summoned the mercenaries to leave the house.
darkness before dawn.
That night, no one could sleep.
Zhang Mu led the crowd through a deserted street, and the air was filled with a faint smell of blood.
Four or five giant rats were alarmed by the crowd and jumped up and down on the eaves. Only pairs of blood-red eyes were visible in the darkness. Yang Yi drew his bow and shot one to death. The other giant rats immediately dispersed without a chance to attack. No one knew where they had fled.
Someone stepped on something and couldn't help but gasp. It was an arm that had been bitten off. Judging from the fracture, it was probably broken by a giant rat. Most of the flesh was eaten away, leaving only a little bit of skin connected to the bones.
"There is no way to go on like this. People are getting more and more panicked. Before the monster wave officially broke out, morale dropped to the bottom." Zhang Mu turned around and said to Lei Ming: "Old Hei, call all mercenaries and gather in the central square!"
"yes!"
Lei Ming posted a post on the union forum, then took out a white loudspeaker and began to shout to the entire camp: "Attention all major mercenary groups. Due to frequent incidents of monsters hurting people, countermeasures need to be discussed. Please gather in the central square! Repeat On the other hand, gather in the central square!"
Zhang Mu and the Huangquan mercenaries arrived at the central square, and other mercenary groups arrived one after another. Within an hour, the square was filled with people, and basically all the major mercenary groups were present. Including the Dragon Soul Mercenaries, Triumph Mercenaries and several other mercenary teams that had some issues with Huang Quan. After all, Zhang Mu was the president, so he still had to obey his call.
Statistics show that a total of 47 people were killed by monsters at night. This is better than most people imagined. This is probably because people are more vigilant. However, there are not a few people who are seriously injured or disabled, and they are currently undergoing emergency treatment.
"From yesterday afternoon to today, there have been frequent incidents of monsters injuring people in the camp. This is a sign that the monster wave is coming. We can foresee that in the next two days, monsters will invade the camp more and more frequently. If we do not take corresponding countermeasures and preparedness, our casualties will increase."
"So, what are President Zhang's plans?"
Huang Tian was also worried about this. Three Dragon Soul mercenaries lost their lives and seven or eight others were seriously injured. Now everyone in the mercenary group was in danger. Even if they stayed at home, they did not dare to relax their vigilance. They were highly nervous for fear of being attacked by monsters. .
Zhang Mu said: "As far as I know, the monsters that evade the gatekeepers and sneak into the camp mainly include the following types. The first type is monsters that burrow into the ground, and the second type is monsters like spiders and geckos that are good at climbing. The third type is monsters such as bats and ghosts that are good at flying and invisible. It is not enough to rely on the biochemical tribe to guard them, we must also participate in the defense."
Huang Jianye nodded slowly: "If all mercenaries are allowed to participate in the vigil, the safety factor will naturally be greatly improved."
"We need a lot of torches. As long as the camp is lit all night, it will be difficult for monsters to hide." Zhang Mu ordered everyone to prepare torches, and then continued: "In addition, all mercenaries were divided into four squads to guard the camp walls and squares throughout the day. Let the entire camp be under our surveillance in all the streets and alleys. In this way, even if a monster appears, we can be alert in time and judge the monster's movements to facilitate hunting."
The streets, alleys, walls, roofs, under trees, squares, everywhere are all filled with mercenary warriors holding torches. Shifts are changed every few hours, so that the mercenaries can rest at ease with a sense of security.
"Everyone must see the essence of the matter clearly. We cannot put too much energy into dealing with the trivial matters in front of us. The root of all this comes from the disaster of the monster wave. What we have encountered so far is just some harassment and warm-up. Before the monster wave comes, we must save enough Energy and strength.”
The monster wave may be the most serious disaster that Dawn Camp has suffered. When life and death are at stake, the various mercenary groups have to put aside their grudges and work together to tide over the difficulties.
