Almost at the same time, the entire "skin" also shrunk, and a reptile drilled out of the stone wall, dragging the skin bag that was constantly dripping mucus and quickly crawled to the top of the cave.
But Nightingale moved faster than that.
She suddenly appeared from the fog, hanging upside down on the top of the cave as if walking on the ground, blocking the reptile before her figure fell, a silver dagger pierced its head, killing it. on the stone wall.
After the worm struggled for a while, all six slender feet fell down, and there was no more life.
Only then did Lightning notice that the so-called "egg" was nothing more than the reptile's torso, except that its head and feet were buried in the stone before, so that it was covered by its huge abdomen.
The size of this bug is completely disproportionate. The front half looks like an enlarged ant, but it is only half a meter long; but the back half, that is, the "skin" part that wraps the madman, can almost be stuffed. Three large wine barrels, even though the mucus has spilled more than half, the whole stomach is deflated, but the spread area is still amazing.
"Is the devil born in the stomach of this thing?" the little girl asked in surprise.
"I've never heard of anything like that," Agatha squatted down and looked at the devil carefully with the help of the magic stone's light, "This madman... is already a fully mature individual. Looking at its arms, not only are there The scar inlaid with the magic stone is also a circle larger in thickness than the other one, which shows that it has used magic power to throw spears more than once."
"What about the magic stone?"
"I don't know, maybe someone took it away."
"So this bug did it?" Elena asked a little impatiently, "It swallowed the devil and hung it on the wall to digest its food, and then it happened to meet our magic stone while fighting. Lost, or digested directly, does that make sense? Don't worry about this disgusting bug, finding Fran is what matters."
Swallow it in your stomach? Lightning slandered from the bottom of his heart, its mouth is enough to swallow an adult, not to mention a burly mad demon that is nearly three meters tall.
"It's a little strange..." A Nightingale's voice suddenly came from the void, "It's obviously already dead, why is the magic power only starting to dissipate now?"
"What?" Agatha was taken aback, "You mean this devil?"
"Yes, its magic power is very weak, like a mist, I only noticed it when it rolled out of the belly of the worm. But it was indeed lifeless at the time. Judging from the degree of decay of the skin, it would take at least a day or two. ." Nightingale wondered, "Isn't it impossible for magic power to gather on dead objects?"
"If you're not mistaken, it's really weird..." Zooey nodded and inserted the long sword in her hand into the stone wall with force, "Maybe we should take these two corpses back and study them carefully. Let's leave a mark first, Come back to pick them up when you set up camp."
However, the group didn't go far, and found several "egg bugs" one after another. Not all of them were buried on the wall of the cave, but some stood directly on the bank of the river or among the mushrooms.
This time, everyone had experience, and every blow was on the key point, and the heads of the insects buried in the soil were cut off one by one. The belly of the worm was cut open, and in addition to the mad demon, the corpses of the fearful demon and the human were also found.
This made the faces of the witches very bad.
There are no human settlements outside the border areas. How did they capture these prey
Or is it that the enemy has stretched his tentacles into the territory of Neverwinter without knowing it
At this moment, Nightingale suddenly issued a warning, "There is a magical reaction ahead! Wait, no... That's Fran?"
"Where?" Elena didn't rush over immediately, but spread out from the other witches of God's Punishment, holding a sword and guarding the surroundings.
Lightning knew that in the foggy world, there are only black and white, and most objects are composed of intuitive and distorted outlines. Only magic has bright colors, so the dark underground has no effect on Nightingale.
"Two hundred meters in front of the left... Around four hundred paces, she seems to be entangled in something," her voice was further away, and became blurred under the noise of the water splash, "I can't see around... I'll first go… wait…”
Not long after, there were two gunshots
"Bang, bang!"
The roar of the musket was particularly loud at the bottom of the cave. The witches of God's Punishment looked at each other, kept their formation and moved forward, while the lightning took a step faster, passing over the heads of the crowd and flying straight to the position where the gun sounded. in the hand.
Fortunately, what she was worried about did not happen, and Nightingale quickly raised the glowing magic stone to guide everyone.
At the latter's feet, two monsters with scythe-like front claws were lying. A large hole was blasted in their heads, and blue blood was dripping all over the floor.
"Is this the demonic beast you're talking about that can hide its body?" Lightning asked in mid-air.
"Hmm, but no amount of skill can escape my eyes," Nightingale smugly inserted the pistol into her belt and patted Fran who was trapped beside her, "Am I right?"
Fran wiggled twice and made a few hesitations, as if someone had gagged her mouth.
Only then did the little girl notice that the sides of the worm carrier were covered with white glue, which fixed it firmly in place, and even the giant mouth was blocked. In addition, her sturdy body was covered with scars, and it was obvious that the fall out of the deep pit was not light.
And to her surprise, there were more than one giant worm like Fran, and next to her, there were two other worms that were swallowing up quietly, looking like they were asleep.
"This is..." A thought suddenly popped up in the flash computer, she jumped down, pushed away the moss on the ground, and a mottled slate appeared in front of her.
"Oh?" Nightingale whistled, "Yes, it looks like we found it."
"The legendary snow mountain ruins!" She replied excitedly.
"What happened?" The others arrived slowly at this moment. In order not to stretch the formation too far, the Witch of God's Punishment always maintained a speed, and Elena was always at the forefront. Her view has changed slightly.
"We've found Fran, and there are two other monsters who seem to want to feast on her," Nightingale explained briefly, "She's fine, she's just tied up so she can't move. This is already part of the underground ruins, the enemy It's probably nearby, we'll get out of here as soon as possible after we rescue her, and call the First Army to set up a sentinel first."
Elena nodded, pulled out the epee behind her back, and cut off those extremely elastic gelatinous things with three strokes and five divisions. When Fran's mouth was free, everyone heard her low growl. .
"Don't look up!"
However, after Lightning heard this sentence, he raised his head subconsciously.
The top of the head was dark, and at first glance, there was nothing. The hole here expanded again, forming a huge space like the dome of the main hall. The luminous magic stone could only illuminate the ground between the surrounding squares, and the top of the head could not be seen at all. The bottom is fine. But the next moment, she felt the chills all over her body stand up.
A scarlet eye emerged from the darkness, followed by a second, a third...
She couldn't count how many eyes were looking at her at the same time. Tens of thousands of eyes were like thousands of stars, condensed into a huge red disc... It looked like a "red moon".
