Chapter Eighty-Six: The Return Worm
Around the Aging City is a forest that is not very large.
Unlike the usual forests covered with green vegetation, walking inside, a faint orange color dominates most of the view.
Most of the trees that make up the forest are towering trees with yellow leaves, and if you look down from the sky, you can see a golden sea enveloping the small aging city.
The forest naturally grows a variety of shrubs and green grasses, but compared to the orange and yellow dead leaves all over the ground, these handfuls of verdant green can only be a foil.
Lin Zhi and Xiao Gu stood on the tall and thick trunk of the tree, looking at the confrontation that was taking place not far away.
It was a couple of heavily armed Terrans, and a bunch of long worms with three pairs of wings.
Those few people Lin Zhi knew, it was the mercenary team he had just met when he entered the Aging City, three men and two women, led by a middle-aged man.
Opposite them, there are many long insects, some flapping three pairs of wings and hovering in the air, some rows of thin black legs grasping the trunk of the tree, and some hiding among the yellow leaves and green grass, their wings flapping slightly, making a slight friction sound.
"All the way just now, the plan is clear, right?" The middle-aged man led by him held a silver battle axe, and his deep eyes flashed with a resolute and sophisticated look.
He is the most experienced veteran of this team, and his strength is at the peak of the middle level.
"Understood. The rest of the team swallowed, clenching their weapons tightly.
The strange thing is that everyone has at least three or more weapons in their hands!
On the blades of the cold light flashing, a faint light flickered, which was the embodiment of the additional force they mobilized in their bodies.
"Lift your spirits to me, this is a battle that happens in the light of light, if you don't pay attention to it, you will be left far behind!"
The middle-aged man slowly raised the tomahawk and the hammer in his hand, and under the effect of additional force, the heavy tomahawk and hammer actually became light and fluttering, and its weight was greatly reduced.
"Listen to me, prepare. ”
Hearing this, cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the other team members, and their spirits were highly concentrated.
This is the first time they've caught a regression bug.
Inside, there are even pure newcomers who accept commissions for the first time!
"Do it!" the middle-aged man snorted.
Whoosh!
At the first moment, all the team members who had reached the perfect state of spirit did not rush towards the returning worm, but waved it vigorously and threw the weapon with the "weight reduction" state in their hands into the air.
The sun's rays shine through the scattered foliage and shine on the sharp weapons, reflecting bright points of light.
The Attention of the Returning Bugs was drawn and they looked up at the weapons floating in midair.
These three pairs of thin-winged insects seem to have a great interest in shiny iron objects.
Seizing this gap, all members of the team mobilized with all their strength and sprinted towards the returning insects staring blankly at the sky.
Their eyes were firm, and each of them had chosen the two closest returning bugs to them.
After rushing to the side of the regression worm, as if they had trained countless times, they actually rolled up their sleeves, grabbed a regression worm that had not yet reacted with one hand, and without hesitation, turned around and was a 100-meter sprint!
Hiss!
The uncaptured returner let out a high-pitched cry, and the three pairs of wings flapped rapidly, chasing after the mercenary team that had captured their companions.
At this moment, the weapon hovering in the air suddenly became extremely heavy, and it fell down with a clatter, smashing on the body of the returning insect that was chasing out.
Zila. Poof.
Some of the returning insects were cut in half by sharp axe blades, and some were also pressed to the ground by blunt objects and smashed into pulp.
For a moment, the returning swarm fell into chaos.
By the time they returned to the swarm to reorganize the lineup, the mercenary team had already run away without a trace, where could they still find traces?
Grab the regression worm and turn around and run, this is the strategy formulated by the old mercenary.
Because, the regression worm has a perverted recovery ability that is almost like the undead bone race, if you don't do this, once you are surrounded by a swarm of regression bugs, you will definitely be consumed alive!
The attack power of the return bug is not high, catch a few back, you can grind them slowly and kill them.
As for the weapons that remained in place, the mercenary team didn't care, because they were the lowest level and their value was far less than the bonus on the order.
As long as they run out of the territory of the returning swarm, they will not chase after them!
On the ground, the flesh of the returning insects, which had been cut in half and smashed into a pulp, returned, and little by little returned to its original state.
The faint blue flame in Lin Zhi's eyes, who was standing on the trunk of the tree, shook for a moment.
As an undead bone clan, he naturally knew the physical characteristics of his race extremely well.
Although those "resurrected" regression bugs seem to be the same as the undead bones, they are more like resetting the "time" that happened to them than the undead of the undead bones.
"Strange, according to reason, they should have finished rectifying and catching up, why haven't they heard any movement yet?"
The middle-aged mercenary who was running at the front gave the struggling returner in his hand a few punches, and then looked back behind him.
On the forest path between them and the returning insect swarm, there stood an undead bone clan more than eighty centimeters tall.
"Is it the undead bone clan that you just met out of the city?" the middle-aged mercenary was surprised for a moment, and then smiled, "Are the undead skeletons and the undead bugs?" ”
Seeing him stop, several mercenaries behind him also stopped.
"Okay, okay, don't stop, get out of here quickly, find a place to dispose of these regression worms, don't use up their strength, but you won't be able to get the gems inside. The middle-aged mercenary urged and shouted to his teammates around him, "When we exchange the gold coins, come over and see if this undead undead bone clan can consume that group of returning insects." ”
"Boss, don't you think about catching that juvenile undead bone clan, if you can still cultivate it, then you will make a lot of money!" a young mercenary suggested.
The price of the unnamed young undead bone clan in the human market is thousands of times the price of this order they made!
"Idiot, do you have water in your head? so stupid that I don't even bother to talk about you. The middle-aged mercenary raised the hard-shelled regression worm in his hand and slammed the young mercenary's head.
"Mr. Sea, what do you mean by that? The young mercenary shrunk his neck in pain.
The other mercenaries approached, their eyes equally puzzled.
Is it wrong to catch a juvenile undead bone clan?
"When you left the city just now, didn't you already see the little undead bone clan with two long bones on its back? People can swagger into the city, and then come here out of the city, if it is so easy to catch, such a large piece of meat, can the people in the city still leave it for us?"
The middle-aged mercenary's gaze at Xiao Bone was very profound.
He's not one of those stupid people who rushes up to tyranny at every turn.
In fact, when Lin Zhi and Little Bone entered the city, someone was indeed secretly playing Little Bone's idea.
It's just that those Terrans or other races that have malicious intentions have left this beautiful world under Lin Zhi's mind.
For those who have malicious or even murderous intent towards themselves and the little bones, the "cursed root" will not be merciful.
