Chapter 69: The Digging Worm

The slimy, narrow passage of the crypt, the further down you go, the more humid the air becomes, and as the goblins described, the hot and humid air rushes in front of you, and the viscous liquid and disgusting eggs beneath your feet. The slippery ground makes you have to move forward cautiously, for fear that you will fall if you are not careful, and no one wants to fall to the ground with a viscous liquid.

According to Atwood, the leader of the goblin armed forces, some of these tunnels were not dug by beetles with sharp pincers. Among the swarms, there are the Diggers, who are responsible for digging underground passages. These creatures are incredibly flexible and can stretch their bodies to incredible lengths, and as they dig through underground passages with their drill-like heads, swarms can quickly pass through their bodies and emerge from the other end of the burrower. Half of these intricate underground passages are formed in this way. This is also the reason why swarms can travel underground in a short period of time, appearing from one place to another. It sounds a little evil, but some of the bug's organs may grow in different positions......

After Atwood finished explaining, Ares's mind came up with the giant worm that broke through the ground in the movie "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies", which was probably that image. It's just that the swarm here may be even more terrifying, and when the digging worm breaks through the ground, countless cockroach-like and spider-like reptiles will also pour out of its indescribable exit. The scene was like a pile of black solids ejecting from a huge wriggling tube.

Thinking of this, Gianna's face stiffened even more ugly.

She'd seen ferocious zombie hordes, but Angela's swarm sounded scarier than the Scourge Legion's zombie horde.

"Don't lose your faith, my dear."

Seeing Gianna's sad face, Ares comforted him in time.

After several hours of walking through the damp and gloomy underground, the investigation team encountered the first swarms of Angela. It should be said that it is just a group of lone insects, and their number is far from being described as a swarm.

Extremely distorted and ugly in appearance, with a pair of sharp insect pincers, and a huge black carapace, these underground creatures were not much different from the undead spiders that Ares had seen in Lordaeron. It's just that they are slightly smaller, about half the size of adult humans, about the same as goblins, and far less huge and terrifying than the fleeing Flevi and his party say. But maybe it's just some lonely little soldiers.

When the insects crawled out of the tunnels, it was no surprise that the arms dealer and goblin leader Atwood immediately ordered the guards around him to rush forward and use homemade flamethrowers to bombard these dark creatures. Blazing flames erupted from the small muzzle of the gun, and the smell of the carapace of insects being burned filled the air, accompanied by a crackling sound from the cuticle-like carapace, and the hideous-looking insects fought and retreated.

In the chrysalis tunnel, more than a dozen charred insect carcasses were soon left. Some of them are not completely dead, and their eight feet are facing the sky, constantly shaking, presenting their black fleshy abdomen in front of everyone, which looks extremely disgusting.

Ares ignored them, and let the goblins who followed him stab the bugs to death with their swords.

Then, a picture appeared that made Ares and Gianna a little uncomfortable...... After killing the bugs, the goblins used their knives to dig a large hole in the bugs' abdomen, and then used a container to collect the sticky and disgusting insect fluid...... Gianna was on the verge of vomiting on the spot. Like human blood, but not blood, the worm fluid looks disgusting, like sticky snot and has a disgusting stench...... At this moment, the eldest lady swore in her heart that even if she was besieged and eaten by these bugs, she would never touch these disgusting liquids.

……

"This is the truth! Great Chief, I know you don't believe it, and we didn't dare to believe it at first, that there are still such monsters in this world. But the swarms are real, they are like locusts that sweep across the sky, except that each insect is a hundred times larger than the locusts. Their arrival is truly the end of the world! ”

As Ares and Gianna hurried south to investigate the whereabouts of the swarm, a small group of goblin refugees fled to the tribe's territory. In Orgrimmar, the same frustrated goblins told the tribal Grand Chief Thrall about their nightmarish experiences.

However, the reply was the same as on the Alliance's side, and the warriors of the tribe did not believe what the goblins said. I have to say that this is related to the long-term snobbery of goblin merchants, as long as the words come out of the mouths of goblins, whether they are orcs or humans, they have to filter them in their minds three times...... Little goblin, the money is enough, but the character is really not flattering.

"A bug bigger than our warriors? Old friend, it is very easy to prove what you say, catch one of these worms and show it to us, and we will believe what you say. And the gates of Orgrimmar will be opened to you. But if it can't be proven, then I'll have to think about your purpose in saying this. ”

Facing the story of a goblin refugee. Thrall didn't sympathize with them, and the wise eyes of the orc chief looked coldly at the small, down-and-out goblins. At the same time, his words are very direct and obvious - as long as you can catch a bug and show it to the warriors of the tribe, then the tribe will believe what you say, otherwise, there is only one answer, expel Orgrimmar, after all, no one can prove that these goblins are not spies of the Alliance.

"Honorable Great Chief, please don't joke about it, okay? Catching bugs? Not to mention catching giant insects alive, even approaching them is a terrible thing, their giant pincers can easily cut off human limbs, and their fangs can bite through iron and steel cages. If you want to capture them alive, you need to pay at least dozens of people. The point is, no one dares to do that. ”

The refugee representative of the goblins spoke excitedly, the same scene as when Flevy met Daelin, who tried their best to convince the Alliance and the Horde of what they said, but Thrall, like Dalin, was skeptical of such creatures.

Character is a bruise, and it was only at this time that the goblins discovered how stupid their methods of doing business were in the past. Although you can get temporary benefits, when it comes to a real crisis, no one is willing to help you.

"Then I'll have to get you out of Orgrimmar, this city belongs to the orcs, and no one can live here without a license."

Sal said coldly.

"Wait, wait! Great Chief. Well, then, since you cannot believe what I say, then send one of your strongest warriors back with me to Gakison, where you will find the facts and answers you want. But until then, please don't kick these my compatriots out of the city, because we are indeed homeless. ”

The refugee representative said sincerely. Compared to that Flevi, the representative of the goblin civilians was courageous. Although his courage is not worth mentioning in front of the orcs. For orcs, no matter how strong the enemy is, it is impossible to abandon their homeland without resistance. That's the behavior of cowards.
