These giant insects are more than 5 meters long, and the largest of them is even more than 6 meters long, and their 6 legs are different from ordinary digging insects, which are abnormally thick. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the same time, the front end of the pair of feet at the very front of his body has even become a bit like a shovel, and his jaws are not as large as those of the digging worm, but they look harder and sharper. The color of the body is also eeriely black, and there is a metallic luster on it, which looks extremely hard.

"What the hell is this monster?" Maris said to himself that he was well-informed, but he hadn't really seen such monsters, but he thought they were a bit like digging worms.

"Look, what are they doing?" Sim's voice interrupted Mareth's musings, and Maris hurriedly looked up. He found that the giant insects did not attack the kobolds, and the kobolds did not seem to have any intention of escaping, but stood there and cheered, as if they were celebrating something.

Several giant insects crawled out of the rock wall, slowly passing through the kobolds, they didn't seem to notice the kobolds under their feet, and crawled directly towards the kobold corpses piled together, and then began to eat as if no one else was around.

At this time, Soram noticed that those insects seemed to have no vision, and there was no organ on their heads that could be called eyes, not even compound eyes, and when they crawled over, they didn't notice the dog's head blocking the way, and ran over directly, and several kobolds were crushed to death.

The other kobolds did not dare to move at all, and it was not until they saw that they began to eat the corpses that they began to cheer loudly again, and the whole scene was both hilarious and eerie.

"Let's retreat first, and we'll talk about it later." Maris gave the task of retreating at this time, after all, they couldn't fight so many monsters, go out first, and then think about it in the long run.

Hearing Maris say this, everyone naturally has no doubts, after all, everyone is not stupid, so many kobolds are enough for them to drink a pot, plus those few giant insects that are obviously very weird, staying here is waiting for death.

But just when everyone had just retreated to the mine and was about to leave quickly, suddenly at the corner of the mine, a group of kobolds appeared, and the leader was actually a kobold warlock, and this group of kobolds was also carrying some prey, obviously this was another group of kobolds who went out to hunt, but it should have gone out from another exit, otherwise it would be impossible for Soram not to see it.

The group of kobolds came back happily, not expecting to meet the enemy at the door of their lair, completely stunned, their unintelligent heads did not react at all.

They were stunned, it didn't mean that Soram would be stunned, Soram was the first to strike, he was the closest to those kobolds, Soram carried a war hammer and sprinted in front of the kobold warlock, and with a single hammer the kobold warlock smashed, and then backhanded another hammer knocked away a kobold who was still in a daze.

That warlock was also unlucky, he didn't release a spell and hung up, in fact, this was also Solam's intention, after all, it was very troublesome to be entangled by a spellcaster. In addition, the kobold warlock is much more conspicuous than the average kobold, so who will you kill if you don't kill it first.

"Hurry up, don't get stuck here." Maris also rushed up, using the shield in his hand to directly knock out a way out, quickly letting Fia and Frostfang pass, and he and Soram broke off.

Fia rode on Frostfang and ran to lead the way, but they really didn't really help in the back anyway. After Solam and Maris broke off, one of them had a shield and the other wore armor, and they were the best after the break, while Sim followed Frostfang and killed all the kobolds in front of him.

The shouting of killing here still alarmed the kobolds in the square, after all, they are not deaf. The kobolds immediately started to stir, but as soon as the commotion began, several giant insects that were still eating the corpses actually stopped eating, and all began to be restless, and then killed and ate all the kobolds who were commotion around them.

When they did this, the other kobolds didn't dare to move, and when the kobolds stopped the commotion, the giant insects calmed down and ran to the side of the pile of corpses and began to eat.

This also allowed Soram to escape safely. After repelling a group of kobolds, Solam found that there were no other pursuers, although he thought it was strange, but it was important to escape first, and there was no time to think about this.

In less than an hour, he was able to escape from the cobweb-like cavern, and it was a blessing that Frostfang could see his way, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to escape so quickly.

"Whew, it's finally out, and it's almost planted here." As soon as he ran out of the mine, Sim sat on the ground, this is not because of physical strength, this road is nothing to Sim, but the psychological pressure is too great, just a little carelessness will be wiped out, Sim's heart has always been carrying, and now after running out, his heart will be put down, so he will be tired.

"Don't sit here yet, let's get out of here, it's too dangerous here, if so many kobolds run out, we'll be in trouble." Maris pulled Sim up and told the group to hurry out of the mine.

Of course, everyone had no doubts, and they all got on their mounts and hurriedly left the mine.

After three hours, they stopped at the edge of a small river, far enough from the mine that they were not afraid of the kobolds catching up.

"Whew." Soram picked up a handful of river water and washed his face, the cold water shook Solam's spirits, Sim and the others also washed their faces by the river, and Fia began to prepare dinner, after all, it was already evening.

"What the hell were those bugs just now? Those kobolds can actually control that kind of monster. Sim said to Mares with a grumbling feeling after tying his horse to the river.

"That bug is a bit like a digging bug, but it's a little different." Mares wiped a handful of water from her face and said solemnly, "I don't think those kobolds can control those monsters, but I think it should be those bugs that control those kobolds." ”

"What? How can it be? Why haven't I heard of such bugs? Sim was a little unconvinced, after all, it was a bug, and how could a bug be wise.

"I think it's possible for my uncle." Soram heard their discussion and chimed in. "But I don't think it's the bugs that control those kobolds, it's probably captivity."

"Captivity? Well, quite possibly. Mares thought for a moment and agreed with Soram.

"Captivity? Does that bug still understand this? Sim thinks this is, worms still have this ability?

"It's not surprising, ants graze aphids, and those bugs keep those kobolds as food, and it's not surprising." Solam didn't believe that the kobolds could control the bugs, after all, if the bugs were really controlled by the kobolds, then the kobolds wouldn't kill each other to satisfy the bugs.

"Well, when you say that, I kind of understand. Those kobolds kill each other to prepare food for those bugs. The more Mares thought about it, the more she felt that this guess was plausible.

Sim was a little shocked, "Won't those kobolds run?" Just let them eat it stupidly, and kill each other to satisfy the appetite of those bugs. ”

"Maybe those kobolds are all controlled by bugs?" Maris guessed, and he couldn't figure out why those kobolds didn't run away.

After all, there are so many kobolds, if they escape together, most of them can escape depending on how many insects can kill, so the reason why those kobolds don't run away is only because they are controlled.

"I don't think that's the case, if those bugs are really that powerful, then why are they still nesting in the mines, they go somewhere else entirely, and control more powerful monsters." Solam didn't believe that those bugs were so powerful that they could sexually control thousands of kobolds at once. "Did you notice?"

"What?"

"The number of kobolds, that's thousands of kobolds, were there rumors of kobolds in this mine before?" Soram asked.

"No, if there were, it should have been discovered, after all, there are so many kobolds gathered together, it is impossible not to be discovered." Mares and the others had been on a mission in Locke Town for almost a year, and they had never heard of so many kobolds in this area, and if there were, they would have sent someone to clear it up a long time ago.

"What does this have to do with what we're talking about?" Sim was still confused, but Maris seemed to have thought of something.

"Of course it matters, you see, there aren't many kobolds in this area, so what do those kobolds eat? That's a few thousand kobolds, and even if they don't eat much, they add up to a staggering amount. But there haven't been many kobolds around here, so what is their food source? Soram explained.

"What do you mean....." Maris guessed a little.

"That's right, it's not that they can't run, it's that they don't want to run at all." Solam said categorically.

"Wait, wait, what the hell are you talking about, can you say something I can understand?" Sim didn't understand what the two men were talking about.

Solam and Maris glanced at each other, both worried about the intelligence of the fool. In the end, it was Maris who thought it would be better to talk to him, after all, they were all teammates.

"What does Soram mean that there are so many kobolds who want to eat, but they rarely come to the ground?"

"What does it mean?" Sim still had a question mark on his face.

"Why are you so stupid, it means that they have a food source underground, otherwise there are so many kobolds. Since there is such a food source, of course those kobolds don't want to give up. So it's not that those kobolds can't run away at all, but they don't want to run at all, after all, if they do, where can they find such a good place. Maris could only patiently explain to Sim.
