A group of people hula-ran towards the outside of the cave, but fortunately the cave was quite open, but no one bumped into it, and after running for a short time, there was no smoke to be seen.

"Whew, I'm just close to slaughtering all the bugs!" Knox, who had just walked out of the mouth of the cave, said hatefully.

"It's okay, there are five bugs this time, and watch them flee deeper into the cave, maybe it's their nest there. Viscount Eric didn't care much about the escaped bugs: "Whether it's to find out the traces of the strange snake, or to find out the whereabouts of the remaining three bugs, we will definitely go in again, otherwise we won't be at ease." ”

"But now we still have to go back first, the loss today is too great. Speaking of this, Viscount Eric's face also became unpleasant.

Night

In the main tent of the camp

"Lord Viscount, our losses this time are too great," Bourcho was reporting the losses to Eric: "Only eight of the men left behind in the camp survived, and all of them were not lightly wounded, and when they besieged the Great Serpent, they lost another nineteen men, and only fifty-one people were left in the camp at present, including the wounded, and only forty people still had the ability to work and fight. ”

"So, how much do we have left?" Listening to Bourcho's report, Viscount Eric was already in a dark veil.

"The materials have also suffered a lot of damage" Bourcho did not dare to delay, and immediately replied: "Fortunately, it is mainly caused by the brute force of the strange snake, although there is a lot of damage, but most of them can still be used." To be honest, half of the people were lost, but the daily supplies were a lot more abundant. It's just that one artillery cannon can't be used, and there is not much stock of gunpowder shells. ”

"If I can, I still hope that the supplies will be a little tighter" Thinking of the heavy losses, Viscount Eric sighed: "But death is death after all, and it is good news that the supplies are abundant to the point of reluctance, and those who are alive must be alive!"

"But," Viscount Eric paused, "you mean we don't have enough artillery." ”

"Yes"

"This is not good news, we can only hope that there are no other monsters on the island. ”

Hearing Viscount Eric's words, everyone present fell silent.

Yes, no monsters like Hydra were found beforehand, and one Hydra brought such heavy losses, who can say that there are no other monsters like Hydra or Three-Headed Dogs. With artillery, can they fight these monsters without firepower?

"Alright, don't be sad either" Looking at the group of frustrated fellows, Viscount Eric turned the subject away: "Anyway, we have to go back to the cave again, at least get rid of the rest." ”

"Of course, Lord Viscount, please let me lead the team to destroy those bugs" Captain Knox seemed to be still worried about the bugs escaping.

"Knox, I can trust you in your skills, but I still have to go. "Viscount Eric wasn't surprised by Knox's eagerness.

"Lord Viscount, your strength is also good, but you have to be careful. Bourgeois, who was on the side, complimented.

"It's not just me," the Viscount seemed to think of something funny, and patted Bourcho on the shoulder, "And you have to keep up." ”

"What...... No, Lord Viscount, are you joking?" Upon hearing this, Bourcho's face suddenly fell, and he hurriedly refused: "What kind of thing is this, just like me, isn't it dragging you and Captain Knox down." ”

"It's not necessarily too dangerous for us to go this time, you don't have to worry about that. Viscount Eric didn't care: "Although you are a little fat, you have good ability and thinking, and you should be better than Knox in this regard." ”

"We don't know what else we'll encounter this time, what to do, you know a lot and it's easy to find a way. Looking at Bourgeois, who was still a little cowering, Viscount Eric explained it to him.

"Fatty, you don't have fat in your head yet. Captain Knox still looked down on Bourcho's guts, and said with a slight mockery.

Seeing that the viscount had said it so clearly, Bourcho could not refuse, unless he wanted to be hung on a tree and eaten with a whip.

Next

It's noon

Everyone was almost rested, and after a full meal, a group of ten people, led by Viscount Eric, set out towards the cave, and they all brought two meals of dry food, and made up their minds to destroy the insects.

Because of the fear of being attacked by the bugs, the whole team was very careful, but fortunately, the bugs did escape, and there were no emergencies along the way.

After walking for a while, everyone came to the place where the insects were "attacked" before, and there was a faint smell of burning.

"This insect is not fireproof. Looking at a charred insect corpse, Bourcho was a little emotional.

"This is not necessarily, the combat power of these insects is not even as great as that of the original monster snake, and the strength and tenacity are much smaller, if they live, they are afraid of fire or not. Knox picked up the conversation.

"That's right," Bourcho agreed, "but didn't you say you killed three worms, but this corpse is only two." ”

"What, there are fewer corpses?" Hearing this, Viscount Eric's expression became solemn: "Everyone be careful, I'm afraid this insect is not dead yet, beware of hurting people." ”

Everyone also became nervous, the insect still has some strength, and it is really difficult to dodge the swishing attack.

"Lord Viscount, maybe we don't need to be nervous," said Aretz, smiling, pointing to a corner and pointing to Eric, "It's incredible, but this monster hasn't escaped or lurked. ”

"Oh? ”

"Please take a closer look at this piece, this shadow is not naturally generated. As he spoke, Alex stretched out his finger and tapped the area, as if he had pressed something.

The crowd was illuminated with torches, and the long shadow was the image of the worm before it.

"There is such a monster. Bourcho was a little surprised: "Not only does it have mysterious powers, but it can still be maintained even after death?"

"What's so surprising about this," Captain Knox subconsciously scolded Bourcho, "but we have to deal with these things, and it's a real headache." Are you scared?"

"Lord Viscount, maybe we can try to peel off the skin of the worm, maybe it will be of any use" Bourcho didn't care about Knox's taunt, and instead suggested to Viscount Eric.

"That's a good idea, Bourjo," Viscount Eric agreed, "but we'll have to wait until we've dealt with the other bugs, they're too resilient to be sure what will happen to the snake's body, but anyway, there's not much time left for us." ”

As soon as Viscount Eric spoke, Bourcho immediately agreed, but it was just a late collection, and even if he couldn't collect it, he wouldn't be guilty of disobeying Viscount Eric for this.

Everyone did not stop, and walked forward slowly, and under the reflection of the firelight, a huge skeleton appeared in front of everyone.
