Chapter 31: The Digging Worm

Burgers.

The insect monsters that live in the southern region are about five feet wide (1.5 meters) long and can reach thirty feet (1o meters), and have the property of sensing tremors, which can judge slight vibrations within 6o feet. The Ground Digging Worm has a pair of giant jaws that can bite through trees, can bite and attack prey, and produces strong acids in its body, causing corrosive damage to enemies. They look like giant insects in appearance, with 6 to 12 slender legs and sharp claws.

At the same time, the Burger can also perform a deadly strong acid spray attack on the enemy, and if it cannot be exempted from the damage of strong acid, it will kill the target on the spot!

Even if you are lucky enough to survive, the whole person will be corrosively damaged very severely.

And that's not even the deadliest.

What's more deadly is that the burrowers are small social creatures, most of them move in groups of 2-5 individuals, they like to eat fresh meat, but they are also scavengers.

This creature tends to be neutral and rarely attacks when it is not hunting.

But if you are considered food by it, then you are in a very dangerous situation!

The number of burrowing bugs is not very large.

They are mainly active in the southern region, and only live in a specific geographical environment, generally unless there is an incident, the digging insects rarely leave the area where they are active. At the same time, there are basically no burrowing insects in the north, because they prefer moist and soft soil, and the land in the north is too hard because of the cold, which is not suitable for the survival of digging insects. (Biological characteristics!) )

That's why the caravan guards couldn't tell the digging bugs!

"Get out of here first!"

Sauron looked around and said in a deep voice, "These monsters will lurk underground, and it will be difficult for us to actively manifest them. ”

"Don't scatter everyone!"

"Burgers can sense our footsteps, and they love to attack lone prey!"

A piece of information came to Sauron's mind, but it was the story of the Digger's challenge:

"Digging Worms [Gregar] (Third Order)."

"Challenge level 8, creature level 1o, with strong acid spraying ability."

"The highest attribute is 2o points, the lowest attribute is 1o points, and the total attribute value is 8o-9o points."

"Special Specialties: Strong Acid Spraying, Corrosion Damage, Bite Attack."

"Difficulty: B+."

The Digging Worm has a higher challenge level than the Abyssal Snake Demon, as this creature is elusive and can burrow underground, and there are several of them at the same time.

Once a professional killer for many adventurers!

If it is a small team of adventurers, once they are attacked, just the first round of strong acid spraying will cause the members of the party to die.

Dealing with this bug requires a strong 'detection' and 'listening' ability.

Otherwise.

You'll need the 'Survival in the Wild' skill to determine their location so you can avoid being attacked by them.

Sauron stepped back cautiously.

The others also seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter, and pulled out their weapons one after another, and at the same time evacuated towards the outside.

"Digging bugs."

"Aren't they rare?"

Sauron carefully observed the surroundings, while concentrating on the movement underground, and said to himself, "Could it be that the digging worm rampage has been touched?" ”

"Damn it!"

"Although I've killed these bugs before, I really haven't noticed when they go berserk."

"And then who will complete the task?"

Around the same time period.

There were a lot of big things in this world, including the skinning incident, the Rebellion of the Divine Son, the ancient red dragon, the migration of giants, and so on, so Sauron didn't have the energy to pay attention to such small things as the digging worm rampage. If you divide the major events that have been born in a row into a level, the skinning event is B-level, the Rebellion of the Divine Son is A-level, and the birth of the Ancient Red Dragon is an A+-level special event. As for small things like the digging bug rampage, it is not yet ranked E+ in the event level.

Unless such an event happens to be born around you, so that you can easily contact and understand and complete the task.

Otherwise, very few people pay attention to them.

But.

The burrower is a rare insect creature.

While they are dangerous, they are also surprisingly valuable!

Because their shells are very hard and lightweight, if you can ask a skilled blacksmith (3oo forging points) to help, the Digger's shell can be crafted into armor equivalent to full-body armor, and weigh only one-third of the full-body armor. In many places, such a pair of Digger armor can be worth as much as 3ooo kindlers.

Even if you sell the materials in your hands, you can reach the value of 6oo-8oo kindler!

But.

Only those skilled blacksmiths will buy it, and it will be useless for others to buy it.

The Digger's shell can only be crafted through a special enchantment, and the size of the Digger's armor is custom-made, so if you can't meet such a skilled blacksmith, the only way is to get the Digger's head shell off, which is a natural +1 shield with good defense and corresponding strong acid resistance.

If you can kill a burrower, you may get a higher profit than killing the snake demon!

"Shhh

There was a sudden strange noise on the ground, and when Sauron and the others withdrew, a large chunk bulged out on the grass beside the road, and then a huge insect with a hideous face came out of the ground, and it opened its mouth and pounced violently to bite a horse, and in an instant it bit off the horse's head, and a large stream of blood gushed out, and only a dead horse with a separate head and body was left on the ground.

What a strong bite!

Sauron's pupils shrank, and he ducked behind a large tree.

The Burger has the ability to spray a strong acid once a day, which is a killer move for low-level professionals, and the power is equivalent to a spell strong acid arrow!

Several caravan guards around him also dodged one after another, and at the same time took out their crossbows from their bodies to shoot.

"Cover me!"

The captain of the guard let out a roar and pulled out the long sword behind his back, his figure was also a little larger, earthworm-like green tendons appeared on his thick arms, and his skin was red from excessive congestion. With his roar, another caravan guard rolled in place, pulling out a small round shield to block his chest, and loading the crossbow bolt that had been special.

"Berserk!?"

Sauron's gaze froze, and he muttered, "Northland barbarians?!" ”

Rumble.

A slight explosion sounded, and the bolt landed on the Digger's body, causing an explosion immediately.

Even as the burrower turned its head to the caravan guard, a clanging sound was heard, and all but the bursting bolts bounced off its carapace, only a few of them hit the carapace of its body. As mentioned earlier, the carapace of the digging insect is equivalent to the whole body armor, so its frontal protection is also at the same level as the whole body armor, and ordinary bows and crossbows have no effect on it at all, and only hitting the vital point can cause an effective attack.

- "Strong acid spraying!" ”

A thick dark green liquid was spewed out by the digging worm, and the caravan guard wolf Bèi rolled to avoid it, but still some of it landed on him. The small round shield in the target's hand was lightly corroded, and the strong acid liquid splattered on the arm quickly corroded the leather armor, and puffs of green smoke rose from the flesh and blood on his body.

The caravan guard let out a scream of pain, gritted his teeth, pulled out his weapon, and cut off a piece of flesh from his shoulder!

- "Heavy Slash! ”

The captain's eyes gradually turned red, the bones of his whole body crackled, and he held the long sword with both hands and leaped forward, directly flying five meters into the air and slashing at the head of the digging worm!

Bang dang!

The sound of metal crashing was heard.

The digging worm screamed, shook its head and slammed into it, and the captain of the guard turned to avoid the fangs, and stabbed his backhand with his sword in his backhand.

The weak part of the skin is penetrated, and a dark green liquid gushes out of it.

"Warriors of the Third Order/Northland Barbarians!"

Sauron didn't expect the captain of the guard to look inconspicuous, and his professional level was actually above level ten, he held the scimitar and spun around, and then a tumbling rushed out from behind the tree, bypassing the sight of the digging worm and running over from the side. The Burger has already been sprayed with a strong acid, which greatly reduces the danger to Sauron, as long as it avoids its sharp teeth, even one or two attacks are not fatal!

How can you not strive to gain killing experience at such a time?!

"Give me a crossbow!"

Sauron let out a low roar, and the nearby caravan guards reacted quickly, throwing the powerful crossbow in their hands in an instant.

Suck!

The degree of Sauron's fingers almost turned into afterimages, and in an instant he finished reloading, and shot an arrow towards the digger's mouth.

"Attack its jaw."

He threw away the crossbow and swooped up with the scimitar in one hand, slicing his knee as he passed the burger's side, cutting a two-foot-long cut in the front skin of the burger.

Clang!

The captain of the guard still attracted the attention of the digger's front, and a pair of lower claws slashed at his chest, but fortunately he was still wearing leather armor, leaving only a shallow blood mark.

"Roar!"

A wild roar echoed, and the captain of the guard slashed down with his sword, slashing off one of the digger's limbs.

Sauron's figure rolled up with one hand on the ground after passing the digger, and without the slightest pause, he actually stepped directly on the back of the digging insect and jumped. The Digger stood up at a height of nearly five meters, that is, the height of a floor, and half of its body was still under the dirt, Sauron's legs leaped violently, and then he grabbed the scimitar with both hands and stabbed straight under the Digger's skull!

"Die!"

A stream of dark green blood spurted out, and a burning pain appeared on Sauron's arm.

The burrower's massive body began to tremble and sway, splashing the dirt around it, but Sauron didn't flinch in the slightest, and instead clamped his skull with his feet to ensure his balance and power, while holding the handle of the scimitar with both hands and twisting it violently! His expression was slightly hideous, and splatters of blood fell on his body, and some of his clothes had been slightly corroded.

Rumble!

A dull sound of falling to the ground sounded.

The burrower struggled frantically before dying, and then its massive body fell.

Sauron's grip on the scimitar let go, and he lay on the ground panting violently, his arm already stained with blood, and some of his flesh had been corroded and burned.

"Finally dead."

He gasped and stood up, only to see that his thigh was on the head of the digging worm when it was cut half a foot long by the sharp carapace thorn, and blood gushed out one by one.

The time of the battle was short.

Because the fight to the death must not be dragged until the body is exhausted!

A caravan guard came over to support the somewhat shaky Sauron, then took out a smear of ointment and applied it to his wound, and said, "Are you alright?" ”

"Take off your clothes first!"

"Those liquids are very corrosive, and the master will help you treat them later!"

One seriously injured, two lightly injured.

Sauron breathed a sigh of relief, tore off his clothes and bandaged his thighs briefly, and then said, "Let's go now!" ”

"Diggers live in groups."

"There must be other burrowing bugs nearby, our battle has alarmed them!"
