Tonight was already the sixth night before the end of the month, and the monsters of the blood moon finally overwhelmed the purity of the frost moon, irrigating the earth like a piece of flowing blood.
And under such a mysterious moonlight, the horse-powered carriage galloping through the wilderness, like a young man who is not afraid of death, marching hard against the thick darkness.
With the passage of time, the stiff beast looming in the shadows has become more and more blatant.
Even some mercenaries who don't know the truth have also noticed the appearance of these beasts.
And Su Mu at this time also more clearly noticed:
The puppet beasts who are following now are already several times more than the previous ones. It seems that more and more creeping worms have been unable to resist the hunger and thirst in their hearts, and have found their hosts ready to go.
At this time, even Han Jun, who was extremely unspeakable, finally realized in deep despair... If this continues, not only will everyone be unable to get rid of the creeping worm's round-up, even the mercenaries will resist. All of his strength was wiped out.
So in the incomparable difficulties, Han Jun finally made up his mind to be honest.
…
As Han Jun stretched out his right hand, he made a stop gesture.
The mercenaries who were swiftly stopped each as if they were amnesty.
Even after the people stopped, they subconsciously gathered under the shining lights in front of the carriage, waiting for Han Jun to give a reasonable explanation.
But at this time, Han Jun could only have a dejected face, ready to tell the real threat at the moment.
However, just before Han Jun was about to speak, the sound of a fragile object breaking, but also so abruptly returned to everyone's ears.
Everyone immediately searched for their voices, only to discover that an unknown mercenary had stepped on a piece of dry bone on the ground.
And also because of this accident, when everyone's attention was concentrated on the ground under their feet, everyone also discovered this with great horror:
In this barren soil, there are countless dead bones densely buried.
Even the number of these dry bones has increased to a daunting level.
And as the dry bones all over the ground became prominent, Su Mu, who had been shrinking behind the crowd, suddenly remembered in amazement, a description previously seen in the Illustrated Book of Wild Beasts:
"The scorpion of bone sand, the seventh-order delusion in small characters, is sexually cruel, loves bone marrow, and has ordinary offensive and defensive capabilities. However, it is highly toxic and can instantly kill its prey with toxins. It is an extremely dangerous delusion animal. The vicinity of its nest is inevitable. A large number of dry bones will be abandoned. This is the biggest feature of the original beast."
…
It was too late and fast, when this piece of information flashed through Su Mu's mind quickly, and Su Mu was about to give a warning.
A thick scorpion tail emerged from the ground, but it has pierced through the chest of a low-level mercenary.
Although the scorpion of bone sand is not known for its strength, it is after all a delusion beast of the seventh rank in small print, and it is still so easy to penetrate a low-rank warrior's army easily.
And with the sudden attack of the scorpion tail, two huge scorpion pincers also broke out of the ground, directly locking the body of the pierced person.
Then, in a splash of blood, the scorpion of bone sand actually tore the person into two pieces.
All this in front of me only happened in a flash.
When the mercenaries finally recovered, and drew out their own weapons. The scorpion of bone sand has dragged the half of the corpse and sneaked into the ground again.
And the mercenary who just died tragically was a member of the twin brothers team.
At this moment, facing the tragic death of his comrades in arms, the two brothers were both fiercely filled with steel hammers, and swiftly moved towards the angle where the Bone Sand Scorpion was leaving, shaking open a large area of mud with fighting skills.
But even so, when the sky full of mud fell to the ground again, the figure of the Bone Sand Scorpion still disappeared. Only an even more daunting terror shrouded every mercenary's head, so that everyone did not dare to move easily.
Even worse, it was when everyone was on high alert due to the unpredictable Bone Sand Scorpion, and was unable to leave this place at all.
A group of dark and silent beast shadows, but at the same time tore the disguise of the night, with that sluggish expression and vigorous body, they were forced towards everyone little by little.
"Don't worry about the scorpion beast just now, directly protect the carriage to break through, and let the two beasts entangle."
Although when the Bone Sand Scorpion appeared, Han Jun was obviously at a loss.
However, after a moment of loss, Han Jun also immediately made the best choice currently.
And at this moment, even if Han Jun didn't emphasize the evacuation, everyone had already felt the approach of the crisis, and no one would dare to continue their love war.
Therefore, when Han Jun's words fell, the mercenaries who formed the vanguard of the five-person squad quickly chose a direction with the fewest puppet beasts, and directly tore through a passage, rushing outward without looking back.
When Su Mu saw this, of course he didn't dare to hesitate, and he drew close to the carriage.
While slightly blocking the puppet beast, it also moved outward along with the carriage.
At this time, as the only person who can move in and out freely in the fifth-order delusion beast, of course Han Jun also consciously assumes the role of the queen.
Instead of following the carriage, Han Jun quickly attracted the attention of many puppet beasts.
Then relying on its own, that was obviously better than the control of the puppet beast's body, it quickly led them to the bone field of the Bone Sand Scorpion.
…
Sure enough, when Han Jun successfully guided the herd of creeping earthworms to the nest of the Bone Sand Scorpion.
After consuming the bone-sand scorpion of the mercenary bone marrow, it immediately attacked the puppet beasts.
Moreover, the Bone Sand Scorpion, which is a genus of Wandering Monsters, was not so cunning as the Wandering Earthworms of Wandering Monsters, and now it is completely in accordance with Han Jun's expectations, constantly tearing up the rest of the puppet beasts.
Upon seeing this, Han Jun naturally no longer tried to go deeper, but immediately relied on the blessings of his body and fighting skills to quickly withdraw from the area where the two were fighting.
Because of Han Jun's temptation, most of the puppet beasts at this time were involved in the scorpion of bone sand.
As for the few that were still chasing the carriage, the twin brothers and Su Mu and others were blocked from the team, and could not pose a direct threat.
And the biggest advantage of human warriors is that they still have higher intelligence and the ability to cooperate with each other to cause greater damage.
Therefore, even if the puppet beasts controlled by the creeping worms, their power is indeed higher than that of the mercenaries guarding them.
But as long as the group of mercenaries can help each other, even if they cannot kill the creeping worms hidden in the beasts, they can at least make the parasitic beasts lose their combat power.
Even if the creeping worm's attack is too aggressive, people such as Su Mu who can achieve continuous bursts can be blessed by the magic apprentice's spells, and they can be directly shredded together with the host.
Although it was a blunder, the outcome of this crisis... still seems to be the most ideal situation.
