Chapter 686: A Thousand Miles of Hunting
The most injured was the head that came out last to devour the Earth Armored Bear, because in the process, it also made an upward swallowing motion, and half of its body came out of the soil, staying for too long, not to mention, even in the face of an attack, there was no way to dodge.
The sturdy eight spears in the middle of the chain, the deepest spear, directly broke its purple carapace from the middle, and a third of it was submerged in the body of the burrowing purple worm.
Although the harvest of the other spears is not so large, the frozen cold qi carried on the ice spear is enough for it to drink a pot, after all, these ice spears are the purest water system spell energy, once pierced into the body, when it encounters a certain temperature and loses control, it will turn back into a piercing cold qi.
If you are an ordinary person and are pierced by an ice spear, you will have no hope of surviving, whether you are hit by the vital point or not.
Because the piercing attack of the Ice Spear is only a physical attack, the ice attack that follows closely behind is the most deadly.
This is similar to the Eternal Night Army's Magic Bomb, but in terms of portability, it is not comparable to the Battle Artifact at all.
The battle artifact can be named an artifact on its own name, and it is really not blown, at the critical moment, if it is played well, it can indeed affect the outcome of a small and medium-sized battle.
When Sean returned, the Digging Purple Worm left only a pile of frozen purple blood on the site, all of which retracted back into the ground.
"This time it's troublesome. Sean said with a gloomy face, "After startling them, I'm afraid that these cunning guys will never come up easily." β
Dragon Soul Clarence nodded in agreement and said: "The larger one is a little seriously injured, I estimate that it is likely to heal far away, and in a short period of time, it will not show its head again, after all, it is just a relatively simple-thinking beast, in their minds, survival is the most important thing." β
"Damn, I didn't expect this guy to have two, this can't be a male and a female, right? If so, under this land, it's not just one or two, but it's likely to be a litter. Sean couldn't hide his anger in his words.
The digging purple insect is not a thing, and there are already hints when the tunnel leaking out of the shaft is excavated.
The thickness of those underground passages was quite different, and Sean didn't think much about it at first, just thinking that it was left by the digging purple insects from different periods.
Now it seems that there is another possibility, which is left by a different digging purple worm.
"Didn't I tell my master that purple insects are hermaphrodites, and in an environment with multiple purple insects, they will mate and reproduce with each other, and if there are only individuals, they can also completely replicate themselves in a dividing way to break and reproduce. Dragon Soul Clarence replied from the side.
"Nope. Sean's face darkened, "Why didn't you say such important information earlier?"
"Under normal circumstances, purple insects do not reproduce by splitting, because for them, this is to increase competitors out of thin air, reduce their hunting ground, and it is also a great consumption for themselves, and they need a lot of energy to replenish it...... Even if I didn't say it, I'm sorry, this time I was negligent. "Dragon Soul Clarence felt the ample magic energy rippling around him, and what Sean said earlier, all buried under this energy pit was energy crystals.
The problem I talked about later was not a problem at all for the burrowing purple insects that survived here, and according to their terrifying absorption rate, replenishing energy was a matter of minutes.
Dragon Soul Clarence even has reason to believe that the other digging purple worm is not a reinforcement summoned by the other party, but two that are directly split into two through a middle break.
In this way, both digging purple worms will be in adulthood and will retain the same memory, because the creature has two heads, and at the same time it remembers things, and now it is just a split in two, becoming a new individual, and at the same time giving birth to a new head.
"I can't blame you, I was negligent myself. Sean took a deep breath and calmed down.
The blame for this incident cannot be entirely blamed on the head of the dragon soul Clarence, who was a little carried away because he was too confident in the plan he had prepared.
If you are a little more cautious, don't rush to attack, manipulate the Earth Armored Bear to take the Digging Purple Worm for a walk, and see its state, even if it is divided into two and has four heads, it is unlikely that you want to swallow the Earth Armored Bear, after all, the opponent's attack is too big.
Previously, the Earth Armored Bear did not react in time, and that was because Sean's main soul consciousness shifted to the Frost Giant, and then attacked, and by the time he realized that something was wrong, he had been delayed by a second in turning back.
And this second can make or break life or death.
This is the biggest flaw of the soul battle body, but I don't want to be hit by the digging purple worm by mistake.
If you miss, you will miss, so find another way.
Sean didn't continue to dwell on failure.
Manipulating the Frost Giant into the field, he yelled and repeatedly knocked on the ground with a piece of magic masonry, trying to lure the Digging Purple Worm out again, and the result can be imagined.
There was no reaction at all, and I don't know if I was dormant to recuperate, or if I was frightened by the attack just now, and completely escaped.
"Damn, if you don't come out, I'll go in and arrest you. Sean didn't hesitate for long, he made up his mind, and the Ancestral Spirit Spear was transferred from the Frost Giant to the energy clone, ready to go deep into the lair of the Digging Purple Worm and pull him out.
"Go underground and fight the digging purple insects?" "Dragon Soul Clarence looked at the madman with an expression, "On the ground, we still have a thirty percent chance of winning, but when we go underground, we don't even have half of it, people can just get a small earthquake down, they can bury us all, and then swallow us even mud and soil in one gulp." β
"Afraid of what? We are not really flesh and blood, I was swallowed, at most I let the soul body return to the northern fortress, you are swallowed, at most it is the loss of a soul container, the soul can also follow our soul contract to return to my body, I still have thousands of points of law power here, the soul container can still make one hundred and eighty, even if it is consumed, I can also consume it alive and dead, the only thing I am worried about is the spear of the ancestral spirit, there is a possibility of loss, but if it dares to swallow it with me and the spear of the ancestral spirit, I will definitely let it know how to write the dead wordγ Sean said fearlessly.
The last point he said was his greatest confidence, and it may have been the reason why the Earth Armored Bear was swallowed alive once, and he had experience.
Sean's fear of the Digging Purple Worm plummeted.
At most, it will be swallowed again, if it is in the state of holding the spear of the ancestral spirit.
If you really swallow him, it's really hard to say who killed whom.
Before the energy clone was shattered, it was enough time for him to launch a cold attack on the entire amount of the Ice Spear Array in the body of the Digging Purple Worm, and even if he didn't explode it, he would have to turn it into an ice mound.
Without worrying about life and death, Sean's courage is definitely at full value.
If you have been planning and preparing for so long, how can you be willing to give up without trying?
"The master is not afraid, and we have no reason to be afraid. "The dragon soul Clarence looks like he is sacrificing his life to accompany a gentleman.
"Wait a minute, I'll go back and get ready. Before going deep underground, Sean returned his main consciousness to the Northern Fortress, condensed a series of earth-based spells such as splitting gold and splitting soil, turning fossils into mud, and turning mud into stone, and packed them into the energy clone.
These spells, as long as Sean wants to, can be used by any soul battle body, and it is not difficult for the frost giant to play with earth and the earth armor bear to play with ice.
It's just that due to the creation of their energy skeleton, there are certain bonuses and subtractions.
If the Frost Giant were to manipulate the Earth Clan, he would not even have one-third of the power of the Earth Armored Bear, and vice versa.
On the contrary, it is an energy clone, which is a stick in itself, it does not have any power bonus and subtraction, no matter what attribute spell is used, it can reach about seventy percent of the soul battle body with exclusive attributes.
"Alright, let's go, go down, follow me. "Sean's later order is addressed to the souls of the three giants.
"Yes, sir. "The three giant souls performed a standard military salute of the eternal night, just on the size of their babies, which was very unusual.
The corners of Clarence's eyes twitched obviously, it still couldn't adapt to the changes in the giants' souls, it would rather the other party return to its original hostile appearance than see them look like good comrades.
They forgot all the hatred and abhorrence, but he didn't.
"Wait a minute. Dragon Soul Clarence suppressed his messy mood and raised his dragon claw at Sean, and a fist of white balls of light appeared above Sean's head, glowing softly, like a large light bulb, illuminating the surroundings.
"Huh?" Sean took two steps back and forth, and the white ball of light above his head moved with his figure, as if frozen at a meter above his head, "It's quite useful, what kind of spell is this?"
In this way, you won't need to take out the Law Gold Coin and use it as a flashlight.
"Light Technique, a small trick that does not go into the stream, can last for an hour, a necessary spell to explore the dark realm. Dragon Soul Clarence replied.
"It's very easy to use, teach me when you have time. "Sean leads the way and doesn't mind being targeted.
"It's my pleasure that the host is willing to learn. Clarence the Dragon Soul was right behind Sean.
Sean chose to enter the entrance to the underground passage, which was the one whose head had been the most injured by the previous digging purple worm was retracted and left behind.
The layer of magic stone here has almost solidified, which makes it easier for Sean to walk on it.
Tracking Eye.
After Sean entered the underground passage, he immediately blessed himself with a second combat skill.
This skill was prepared by Sean for the forest rangers of the Eternal Night Army.
After blessing this combat skill, ordinary people can also see traces of magic energy and blood tissue in a colorful way, so that they can track down those revitalized mutated magical creatures.
Now it's really fitting to track down the Digging Purple Worm.
The route that the burrowing purple worm had just walked formed a distinct crimson in Sean's eyes.
This color is determined according to the concentration of the remaining spell, the higher the concentration, the shorter the remaining time, and the more vivid the color will be.
As Sean quickly deepened, even if there was a fork in the road, it would not affect it for half a minute, and he chased directly towards the most colorful passage, which was not wrong.
"Are these two guys playing tricks to confuse us, or are they overlapping in their escape routes? Shawn had been chasing for less than five minutes when a new problem arose before him.
An intersection-like intersection with passages of similar color depth in front of him.
By comparing the size of the tunnel when he came, and the traces of purple blood remaining on the walls of the passage, the most injured digging purple worm he wanted to track should be thicker.
This kind of thing can only be chosen.
Sean decided to bite the ground-digging purple worm that he had fought with at the beginning, after all, the two sides are old acquaintances, at this time, of course, it is a choice of familiarity or not of life.
If that digging purple worm knew Sean's thoughts, it would definitely roar at him, I don't know you well.
When Sean went deep into the ground and tracked the digging purple worm for a long distance, he had a deeper understanding of the opponent's terrifying digging speed.
From making up his mind to doing a good job of tracking deep underground, Sean only spent less than half an hour before and after, and then tracked at an average speed of ten kilometers per hour, tracking for a full two hours, not to mention insect shadows, and there was no sign of the magic masonry layer becoming soft.
This shows that his current tracking speed has not been able to exceed the burrowing speed of the burrowing purple worm.
Ten kilometers per hour is certainly not the limit speed of an energy doppelganger.
If you let go of running, the average speed of 30 kilometers per hour will not cause a load on it.
But that was on the ground, without any scruples.
Now he is in the maze of complex underground, especially when entering some of the original underground passages, the digging purple worm did not bother to continue digging, but walked along these underground passages.
This can greatly increase the difficulty of Sean's tracking.
If it weren't for Sean's thorough preparation and the convenience provided by the Tracking Eye, the Digging Purple Worm would have left traces of magic mud and stone on the ground as it wriggled forward, and Sean would have been able to chase it down.
There were a few times before because of the overlap of the traces of the two digging purple insects, and I almost didn't let Sean chase the wrong target, but in the end, I accidentally hit and found the newly dug cave where I was tracking the target, and then chased it again.
In the process, the search for traces and repeated confirmations, and the delay greatly reduced Sean's speed of progress.
In addition, every hundred steps Sean walked, he left a pointing mark on the ground, not to mention the forked hole, all of which left artificial signs to prevent the other party from turning in circles and leading himself into the old road without knowing it, which also delayed time.
Judging from the path that the Digging Purple Worm is currently taking, the other party should not be aware that he is being tracked.
To be more precise, there has never been such an experience at all, it has always been that it is tracking others underground, and there is no possibility of being hunted down.
The digging purple worm is moving away from the energy pit, and the direction it is heading towards is the Odin savannah.
Underneath the dark cavern, under normal circumstances, there is no way to discern the direction.
But Sean is not in the normal situation, the precise direction cannot be distinguished, but the general direction is fine.
Because there is a wonderful connection between his souls, he only needs to perceive the location of the main body of the Northern Fortress, and then perceive the frost giants left in the energy pit, and he can basically judge the general location where he is.
Not to mention that after finding that he needed to fight a protracted battle, Sean decisively transferred the Thunder Golden Eagle over, and always hovered directly above the location of the energy clone, forming a more accurate direction positioning.
After two days and one night of tracking, Sean's energy clone and the Thunder Golden Eagle reunited in the temporary residence of a small Odin orc tribe in the Odin savannah.
More precisely, it should be the ruins of temporary settlements.
