Chapter 12, The Great Wilderness Worm

The brother and sister heard the sound of the earth cracking not far away, from far to near. They followed the prestige, and within the limited range of the firelight, they saw something moving forward under the ground, quickly approaching them! The soil on the ground was also arched by this thing, Zhu Xinyan and Zhu Xintian hurriedly retreated, turned around and wanted to run, but seven or eight huge insects instantly drilled out of the ground around them, surrounding them!

The insects that broke through the ground were as thick as a human thigh, and their black, slippery bodies resembled giant earthworms. These giant earthworms emerge more than two meters tall from the earth, while the rest of their bodies are still buried in the ground. The top of their heads is full of fangs, and the fangs are retracted and released, and with their slowly writhing bodies, these giant earthworms are extremely strange in the firelight, and an even stronger fishy smell is emitted.

Zhu Xinyan covered his nose and said, "These earthworm-like things are the Great Wilderness Insects, they are too smelly!"

Zhu Xintian leaned his back against Zhu Xinyan, and shot the arrow in his hand quickly, a great desolate insect was shot, and its body twisted twice and retracted into the soil, leaving only a broken arrow on the ground. And the rest of the Great Desolate Insects hurriedly opened their fangs and mouths and arched their bodies. Zhu Xinyan reminded Zhu Xintian loudly, "Oh no! They seem to be about to squirt slime, pay attention to dodge!"

As soon as Zhu Xinyan finished speaking, these big desolate insects spit out green mucus one after another, and the brother and sister hurriedly dodged left and right, and the green mucus quickly passed by the two of them. Zhu Xintian's feet tightened, and he found that he was stepping on the mucus on the ground! These mucus were very sticky, Zhu Xintian was like stepping on a lump of maltose, and it was difficult for his feet to lift up! Due to his difficulty in moving, his chest and back were sprayed by the mucus of the Great Wilderness Worm! He couldn't even touch the quiver on his back at the moment...

Seeing that her brother was stuck and couldn't move, Zhu Xinyan was also anxious, she lowered her head to dodge a piece of slime, and then immediately rolled forward twice, then got up and slapped the burning wooden staff on the Great Desolate Insect in front of her! Zhu Xinyan grabbed the burning wooden staff and waved it again, driving all the great desolate insects close to Zhu Xintian back to the soil.

At this time, Zhu Xintian's whole body was covered with green thick mucus, and he couldn't move, and from a distance, it looked like a green candle dripping wax.

However, the Great Desolate Insects under the ground did not give up, and they squirmed quickly under the ground around Zhu Xintian, waiting for the opportunity to break through the ground again. At this time, the arched soil on the ground is also becoming looser. Zhu Xinyan hurriedly protected Zhu Xintian, and used the burning wooden staff to constantly drive away the great wilderness insects that came out of the ground from time to time, just like whack-a-mole...

After more than twenty minutes, the Great Desolation Insects did not want to waste time on their brother and sister, and the soil on the ground was silent. Zhu Xinyan squatted down with a wooden cane and gasped for breath.

Zhu Xintian said, "I'm glad you're sorry! Xinyan, these big desolate insects seem to have left, hurry, release my brother!"

Zhu Xinyan rested for a while and said to Zhu Xintian, "You say, who is protecting whom of us?"

Zhu Xintian hurriedly coaxed Zhu Xinyan and said, "My good sister, you are the most powerful, you will protect my brother in the future! Okay, hurry up, I feel like I'm going to be smoked to death by this slime... ”

Zhu Xinyan hurriedly pulled out the mucus on Zhu Xintian's body with her hand, with a disgusted expression, and then sniffed it! She rolled her eyes and almost threw up! Then she said, "Brother, this mucus on your body is solidifying! I'll try to burn it with fire." ”

Zhu Xinyan used a burning wooden staff to bake beside Zhu Xintian. But fortunately, it works, and at high temperatures, the solidified mucus on Zhu Xintian's body is slowly melting and dripping.

Soon after, Zhu Xintian was able to move again, he pulled out all the remaining mucus on his body and shook it off, and then sniffed his hands, his body trembled a few times, and he was almost fainted...

The brother and sister didn't dare to stay, and continued to hurry.

Along the way, Zhu Xinyan walked some distance away from Zhu Xintian, and Zhu Xintian really couldn't stand it, "I said old sister, are you serious?

Zhu Xinyan nodded in disgust. Zhu Xintian said, "I'm your own brother anyway! You have no conscience! It hurts my heart so much! So... Zhu Xintian opened his hands and quickly ran towards Zhu Xinyan, "Come on, old sister, brother, give you a hug!" Zhu Xinyan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately ran away, "Hey, brother, don't make trouble!ah! Don't come, stay away, go away... The two chased and fought in the wasteland at night.

As the night wore on, the brother and sister were tired of chasing, so they stopped to rest for a while. At this time, Zhu Xinyan found that it was dark and oppressive not far in front of him, and he slowly approached a distance forward with a burning wooden staff, and found that there was a dense forest in front of him! Zhu Xinyan shouted excitedly, "Brother! Look! There is a forest in front of him!"

The appearance of the woods meant that the wasteland under their feet had come to an end, and the danger was far away from them! The brother and sister trotted all the way and ran into the dense forest excitedly. After walking in the forest for more than ten minutes, Zhu Xintian heard the sound of the stream, and he couldn't wait to take a bath.

At night, the sound of frogs and crickets in the forest is a good sleep song, and the brother and sister lie on the grass in the forest, smell the flowers on the grass and fall asleep.

The next morning, the sun shone on the lazy faces of the brother and sister, and the two woke up naturally.

Zhu Xinyan stretched, closed his eyes and smelled the fresh air emanating from his surroundings. She remembered visiting the woods once when she was very young, and after that, her life was full of wasteland, rock walls, caves, and fire...

"Do you like it here?" asked Zhu Xinyan

"Of course, it's so beautiful here!" Zhu Xinyan picked the wildflowers at his feet and sniffed them

"Like it, let's stay for a few days. Zhu Xintian said

"However, I'm afraid I'll worry about the trip, so the patriarch asked me to go all the way south... ”

"Then stay for a day, we'll leave tomorrow morning, you wait here, I'll go prepare breakfast." After saying that, Zhu Xintian went to the forest with a bow and arrow.

But I waited until noon, Zhu Xinyan's stomach screamed with hunger, but Zhu Xintian hadn't come back yet. Zhu Xinyan began to worry, she put her luggage on her back, and began to look for Zhu Xintian nearby, "Brother, where are you? Did you hear that, brother!" But in addition to the continuous bird song in the forest, there was no response from Zhu Xintian.

Zhu Xinyan kept looking for the forest in front of him, and walked for almost half an hour, and finally came from not far away, Zhu Xintian's shout, "Xinyan! I'm here! Xinyan, come and save me!" Zhu Xinyan ran all the way along the voice, and finally saw Zhu Xintian not far ahead.

Zhu Xintian was entangled in a large net and hung from a large tree, about three meters above the ground. Zhu Xinyan thought that Zhu Xintian must have fallen into the trap of the hunter and was hung on the tree.

"Yo, you, who is known as the number one hunter of the Tianxun Clan, have become prey unexpectedly. Zhu Xinyan said in a downhill

"Old sister, put me down, brother was careless this time, he stepped on the trap by mistake, and he won't do it again next time... ”

Just when Zhu Xinyan wanted to step forward and put Zhu Xintian down, there was a change in the forest in the distance. Zhu Xinyan said, "It's not the hunter who comes to get the prey, it's okay, let the hunter help guide the way, and we can get out of this forest faster, right, brother." ”

After Zhu Xinyan burned the rope tied to the tree, Zhu Xintian fell heavily from the tree, and it was fine.

Zhu Xintian ripped the rope off his body and touched his buttocks, "Sister, I'm so miserable, you see my brother's buttocks are swollen!"

"Hmph, it's good to break it! let you do it!" Zhu Xinyan said disdainfully

Zhu Xintian stood up from the ground, but he didn't make a sound, and he slowly pulled out an arrow from behind him and put it on the bowstring. Zhu Xinyan also realized that danger was coming! She turned her head slowly, and saw that there was a beast behind the grass behind her, the head of which was close to the grass behind her, it was a leopard!

Zhu Xinyan waved the wooden staff in the air again, and the top of the wooden staff ignited again. The leopard behind the grass was startled by the flames, and turned to run! Yes, this leopard stood up and ran on its feet! His body was like a leopard's head spliced into a human body!

It was the first time for the brother and sister to encounter this kind of animal, and they were both stunned for a while! The arrow in Zhu Xintian's hand also forgot to shoot out, and they both remembered a race that the patriarch had said.

"Mountain Beasts!" the brother and sister said at the same time, originally they thought that this animal was just a person wearing a leopard mask, but until they both saw that there was a leopard tail behind this animal...

"Brother, do you see clearly, it's really an orc!" Zhu Xinyan said nervously

"I see it clearly.,This should be the mountain beast clan that the patriarch said! I can't imagine that the beast clan really exists! I thought it was a legend... "Zhu Xintian is also nervous.

"Then this trap could not be ... Zhu Xinyan suspected that this trap was not made by hunters

"Yes, the patriarch said that the beasts and hunters have been fighting wits and courage for hundreds of years, and they can all use the traps that our Terrans will do, and they are mortal enemies with our Terrans! For many years, the orcs have been competing with our Terrans for food and territory, and the orcs hate the Terrans to the core!" Zhu Xintian looked around, tightened his bowstring, and became vigilant.

The brother and sister were worried that there were still orcs in the vicinity, so they didn't stop long, they just wanted to get out of this forest as soon as possible. After all, the enemy is in the shadows, and this is the enemy's territory.

At this moment, the green meadows in the forest, the bright wildflowers, the tall trees, the chasing butterflies, the frolicking birds... It's all less intimate ... The brother and sister knew that if there were more orcs than the one they had seen before, then this beautiful forest would probably be their burial place!

The brother and sister walked in the forest for more than two hours with trepidation, and they didn't even have time to eat lunch. But luckily, just as the sun was about to set, they walked out of the woods.

In front of them, there was another wasteland, but in the distance of the wasteland, mountains could already be seen. Zhu Xintian pointed to the mountains in the distance of the wasteland and said, "Look, Xinyan, that is the boundary of Qinhai! It is the boundary of our human race, and it is absolutely safe!" Zhu Xinyan also nodded excitedly, "Yes, brother, let's hurry up and stay away from this forest first!"
