Chapter 19
Hines swung his magic sword and hit a sneak attack on the spirit worm, the golden fighting energy on the magic sword slashed through the place where the head of the ghost worm was connected to the body, and the ghost worm was instantly broken into two, Hines waved his hand and put the glowing part of the body of the ghost worm into the space ring.
Hines did not concentrate on dealing with the Wraith Worm, but stayed by Jian Lu's side, listening to all directions and seeing all directions, and everything that approached Jian Lu while the night was killed by him with a sword.
This is the reason why Jian Lu gave his back to Hines with confidence.
Jian Lu concentrated on collecting those ghost insects that rushed over while the chaos was in charge, and Hines was in charge of guarding, and the two worked together seamlessly.
Although the spirit insects have a small brain capacity and a low IQ, they have special tentacles on their heads, which can capture prey information and sense the breath of their companions, and find that the information of those companions who are running towards Jian Lu has disappeared, and the insect king of the leading spirit worm will naturally not be stupid to let his companions go over.
Even if the IQ is low, the natural instinct of the creature is still there, and since he knows that there is no return, he will naturally not rush up stupidly.
Jian Lu was unhappy about this, and rushed up to pick up the leak for him because Mao and they were not stupid?
Jian Lu didn't know much about the Spirit Worm, he didn't know the reason, and when he saw that the other party didn't come, he had to go on his own.
Jian Lu lurked on the edge of the area and took the opportunity to pick up the leaks, until the scattered spirit worms were almost collected by him, and then looked at the battlefield. In the dark forest, the place where the Wraith Worm appeared was like a piece of luminescent light embedded in the night, rolling and moving, looking down from the sky, as beautiful as rolling quicksilver.
One of their traits is that when they encounter their prey, they never die or move forward. Therefore, after encountering the Flame Mercenaries and the Wind Mercenary Regiment, the Wraith Worm rushed towards them like a tidal wave, pulling out one after another, trying to kill them and drag them into the ground. And not long after the Agni Mercenary Group was besieged by the Wraiths, the people of the Wind Mercenary Group were also surrounded by the scattered Wraiths.
Jian Lu took Hines to lurk in a little more, and soon he could see the besieged Wind Mercenary Group and others in an open clearing. There are about twenty people in the Tempest Mercenary Regiment, and the way they fight is very united, the fighters are outside, and the magicians are inside, and the magicians also cooperate with the magic barrier to block those wraiths.
Jian Lu had very little combat experience, and when he saw the fighting methods of those magicians, he couldn't help but watch it seriously. Hines is a knight of the Temple of Light, as a fighting warrior, constant fighting is a way to improve their cultivation, and there is more combat experience, but unfortunately limited to age, there is little contact, which is also a rare experience for him.
At that moment, the two of them squatted on the tree and watched.
Although the IQ of those ghost insects is not high, Tong Guò's companions who are constantly missing know Jian Lu's demons, so they did not come to attack him again, but concentrated on dealing with the two men and horses below, so that the two of them squatted leisurely on the tree to watch the battle. If this kind of thing spreads, it will definitely be extremely shocking, and Jian Lu didn't know that it would cause this situation, so he was a little glad that Chris was taken away at the moment.
"Your Excellency."
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Chris's voice, and Jian Lu turned his head to see Chris coming back like a ghost.
"How?" Jian Lu asked softly.
Although Chris went to inspect because of Jian Lu's order, he did not listen to Jian Lu's intention to act on the opportunity, he is now the guardian paladin of the Temple of Light to the Holy Son, and it is his duty to protect Jian Lu's safety. So he didn't go far, but observed in front of him, a distance that was not far away, not close, if Jian Lu was in trouble, he could feel it at any time.
However, because the forest in the night was too dark, and Jian Lu was lurking and acting secretly, Chris didn't notice his hands and feet, and when he saw the disappearing blue glow, he thought that the two of them cooperated to kill the ghost worm.
"I just heard their conversation, these two people are the people of the Flame Mercenary Group and the Wind Mercenary Group, the Wind Mercenary Group is an old mercenary group, with huge power, and it has its strongholds in several empires on the mainland. And the Flame Mercenary Group has only been established for a few years, but they are very arrogant, and they are well-equipped, no worse than the Wind Mercenary Group, I think, the Wind Mercenary Group should belong to the noble forces. Chris analyzed.
How could the prince's equipment not be as good as other civilian mercenary groups? Even if the king doesn't like this illegitimate son very much, but the eldest prince has a good talent, and he has an excellent cousin in the academy, which gives the king a long face, and when the king is satisfied, he will naturally give his son some financial rewards, and the eldest prince should use it to equip his subordinates.
After Jian Lu listened, he didn't pay attention to it and continued to observe the situation below.
After Chris finished reporting, he also squatted with the two teenagers, and at the same time he was a little suspicious, why didn't those ghost insects attack them, could it be that the ghost insects had no sense of touch and couldn't feel that there were people in the tree? Although he was a little confused, because of the urgency of the situation, Chris didn't think deeply.
Time passed unconsciously, and the people in the battle below, whether it was fighting or magicians, inevitably felt tired, and when the magic power and fighting spirit gradually drained, they could only fight with equipment, among which the magicians used the most magic scrolls. And they also shrank the battle circle, allowing some people to go inside to rest and wait for the recovery of fighting energy and magic power, so as to ensure the safety of the party even more.
Jian Lu looked at it and said to Chris, "Chris, you go down to help the Wind Mercenary Group." ”
Chris glanced at him, although he didn't know why Jian Lu chose the Wind Mercenary Group instead of the Fire Mercenary Group, which had a more valuable background, but he didn't question his decision, so he jumped off the tree in the dark, and hurried towards the people of the Wind Mercenary Group while avoiding the Wraith Worms on the road.
After Chris left, Hines moved to Jian Lu and said, "Your Excellency, the leader of the Agni Mercenary Regiment looks a little similar to the Alex I saw before. ”
"He's the Great Prince." Jian Lu said nonchalantly.
Hines turned his head to look at Jian Lu, but unfortunately Jian Lu was only enough to pay attention to the battle below, and did not notice his gaze, or if he did, he would not say anything.
The morale of the Tempest Mercenary Group has increased greatly because of Chris's joining, and it seems that it should be able to last another two hours. At this time, Jian Lu said to Hines: "Hines, let's go down too." Then he jumped lightly from the tree, and immediately happily touched the lone wraith worm into the storage compartment.
The combat method of the spirit insect is to fight in groups, and they like to rush up in a swarm, if the number of people is too small, it is not enough for them to solve it in a few clicks, and now that there are more people, they can support it for a long time.
Jane Lu took Chris to the side of the Wind Mercenary Group while picking up the bargain, until two hours passed unconsciously, and when it was about to dawn in three hours, he finally took Chris to join the battle of the Wind Mercenary Group.
"Your Excellency, why are you here?" Olive looked tired, but still had her usual smile on her face, charming and sexy.
Jian Lu glanced at Chris, and the meaning was self-evident.
Olive thought that Chris was the elder of the two boys, and thought she understood, so she didn't ask anything, and she was surprised when she found that Hines was young, but his combat strength was not inferior to that of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy. As for Jian Lu, although he was wearing the magic robe of a trainee magician, he didn't make a move, and he didn't know what kind of magic he was, so he took a bunch of offensive magic scrolls to blast it.
Throw an earth-based magic scroll, and a pile of earth thorns stabbed the group of wraith-spirited insects to pieces; Throwing another water-based magic scroll, a stream of water washed away the Wraith Worm; Throwing another ice-type magic scroll, it instantly froze those Wraiths that were washed away by the water. And then the cycle continues.
Jian Lu said: Brother is such a trench!
Seeing Jian Lu using the magic scroll as a weapon, the people of the Wind Mercenary Group were surprised at the beginning to Mu Ran at the end, although they were all primary magic scrolls, but the market price was not cheap, so they were thrown and thrown by him like cabbage, which was really more popular than people. However, it can also be seen that there should be a magician or alchemist who can draw magic scrolls behind these three people.
Just as the time was close to dawn, a slight spatial fluctuation suddenly came from in the distance.
Olive suddenly cursed and said enviously: "It's just a little demon worm, the Flame Mercenary Group actually used a spatial teleportation scroll, and there is so much money that there is nowhere to put it!" ”
Others also echoed it, because there are too few space magicians, and because the space alchemy products are quite useful, so all the alchemy products related to space will be chased by people, and the space teleportation scroll is more popular, if you encounter the danger of being invincible, you can directly use the space teleportation scroll to escape, and the security is also higher.
The fact that the people of the Agni Mercenary Group were able to use the spatial teleportation scroll was really envious, jealous and hateful. Even Jian Lu, the Holy Son of the Temple of Light, didn't have such a thing - forget it, he was a puppet Holy Son of the Temple of Light, and no one would give him that kind of precious thing.
Although Jian Lu was envious, jealous and hateful, he quickly calmed down the feelings in his heart, and continued to deal with the ghost insects in front of him seriously, letting Hines help him cover up, and when people were not paying attention, he continued to collect the spirit insects into the storage compartment, and glanced at the number of ghost insects in the storage compartment, and almost couldn't help but burst his face with joy.
As the day dawned, the cyan glow on the Wraith Worm's body faded, and the insects revealed their swarthy prototypes, losing their luminescence, and sure enough, they looked like deformed ants, and the two jaws on their mouthparts trembled, and soon burrowed into the ground and disappeared.
