The swift worm head appeared again, easily biting off a person's neck, and quickly dragging him into the darkness, waiting for the others to pursue the hidden place again and illuminate the darkness, only to find only a bloodstain in one place, and the worm head was still nowhere to be seen.

"The python is so big, how can it hide in the cave at will" In Alex's mind, a thought flashed, but he couldn't catch it for a while: "What if...... If ......"

"Why don't these insects have the same cooperation as before" The more Viscount Eric on the side thought about it, the more he lost his eyebrows, and he couldn't help muttering: "Since such a big body can hide, why does it only show one head every time, it is so badly injured, why can't it be in the mood to tease us, right?"

"No cooperation, independence?" Alex, who happened to hear Viscount Eric's whispering, suddenly remembered something: "When the main serpent head dies, the deputy head will transform into an independent giant serpent?"

"Lord Eric, I have heard some legends of the Hydra, and I have some conditions that I would like to tell you" Thinking of this, Aritz opened his mouth to ask Viscount Eric.

"Come on, we don't have much to do right now anyway. ”

"I've heard that Hydra has a main head and a deputy head, and the deputy head can be reborn when it is cut off, and only when the main head is cut off will it really die. But when the main head dies, the deputy head turns back into an independent giant serpent," Alex quickly said what he knew: "Although the head of this strange snake is a worm, it is very similar to the legendary monster, and may have such characteristics. ”

"You're saying that it was only a few worms that attacked us and not a strange snake, and the actions of these insects are also possible" Listening to Alex's narration, Viscount Eric also frowned, but frowned again: "However, although the injuries we inflicted on the strange snakes are serious, they are not very fatal. Besides, if the strange snake died, we didn't find a corpse along the way, and the strange snake was more than 20 meters long and had no place to hide. ”

"This ......" Alletse was speechless for a while, which he didn't expect.

"But there are accidents in everything, and you have a good idea, we don't know if this strange snake is a creature with what you have heard about, and we can't assume that it will only pop out of bugs when it is dead. Eric let go of his brow and patted the embarrassed Allez

"If they have become independent individuals, then they must be much more flexible, but they are still close to the thickness of a person, how can such a size be quickly hidden after swallowing a person" Captain Knox asked his own question.

"That's right...... Although the insect is not as large as the strange snake, it is definitely not small, one person is wide, and the length is five or six meters, how can you hide in this cave. ”

Just as they were thinking, the abominable worm poked its head out of the shadows again, this time, two. The two hapless victims, who did not come to shout, were dragged into the shadows and silenced before others could help.

There was another commotion in the crowd, and Viscount Eric and Captain Knox had to work hard to make the crowd quiet, but there was still a whisper of squirming.

"Damn, there are more bugs" The way to find bugs has not been found, but the number of bugs has increased, worried about the loss of personnel, Eric is a little helpless: "Knox, let's retreat first, we can't continue to sacrifice in vain." ”

"Wait a minute, Lord Viscount" The sharp-eyed Arezi found some clues.

"Well, young man, do you have anything to say?" Viscount Eric, apparently quite depicted to Allet, and was going to listen to his opinion, "but you have to hurry, we can't afford to lose." ”

"It may be a little bizarre, but I hope you can believe it," said Alex, without delay, "I have found that the worm does come out of the shadows. ”

"Of course, the cave is pitch black except for our torches. ”

"No, no, it's not like that, the first time I noticed that there seemed to be a shadow attached to the body of the bug, I wasn't sure the first time, but this time I was sure. Aritz vowed: "The light seems to disappear all at once around the bugs." I don't know if you've noticed, but the bugs disappear into the dark and don't change much. ”

"Seriously, that bug really seems to have shrunk into the middle of the darkness all of a sudden" Captain Knox thought for a moment, although it was a little weird, but he confirmed the statement.

"Darkness is attached to the body...... Viscount Eric's face became solemn: "Could this bug be a monster with magical powers?" If it is, it's going to be difficult. ”

"Lord Viscount, we don't need to worry too much" Alex persuaded the Viscount: "At present, it seems that this insect only has such an ability, although it is weird, but we also know its details. ”

"That's right, I'm a little stunned, if this bug has this ability, it won't be so difficult for us to deal with" Eric also smiled self-deprecatingly: "But it's not so easy to deal with, if the light is bright enough, the bug naturally can't hide, but our torches are still not bright enough." In the dim light, it's not too easy for them to hide. ”

"Lord Viscount, I have a way to do it" Captain Knox came up with an idea: "There is still a lot of fuel left over from the fire oil we brought in, let's sprinkle it and light it again, although it won't last long, but it's enough for us to catch those bugs and kill them." ”

Viscount Eric thought for a while, although it was a little rough, but it was not impossible, so he allowed it: "Yes, but be careful, those bugs are still waiting for the opportunity." ”

"Understood!"

The fire oil was sprinkled in the cave, and as the torches fell and ignited, the fire marks instantly spread throughout the cave.

The light was not very bright, but it was much better than the dim torches, which enveloped the entire cave. What emerges from the light is the strip of the base shadow.

"One, two, three, four, five, there are five in total. Captain Knox counted them and was a little surprised, but that didn't stop him from taking them out, and with a machete in hand, he headed for the nearest bug.

The other soldiers also raised their blades and rushed towards the insect's hideout, looking particularly crazy against the firelight.

As Knox approached, the bugs seemed to react, and rushed towards Captain Nock. Captain Knox took two steps back when he was knocked out, set up the bug, and opened a hole in the bug with a knife.

"Strange, this bug's strength has become smaller, not to mention, even the skin is not so thick?" Captain Knox secretly wondered, but this did not delay him and slashed at the bug's head a few times.

After a few moments of struggle, Captain Knox stabbed the worm in the neck, and the worm narrowly deflected its head and was sliced off a large piece of flesh. This time the worm retracted in pain, and rushed towards the depths of the cave.

"Look where you're running" Captain Knox was about to catch up, when an itch came from his throat and intensified, causing him to cough. Looking at the battlefield, the burning oil began to emit thick black smoke, and many people began to cough and retreat.

"Knox, get out of the cave, we've killed three bugs, we'll come back when we're ready," Viscount Eric shouted Captain Knox as he retreated.

"Damn it!" Looking at the worms that fled into the depths of the cave at once, Knox knew that he couldn't catch up, looking at the increasingly thick black smoke, although he was unwilling, he could only retreat towards the entrance of the cave.
