Chapter 27 Deeper Places

After a few steps, Iero finally came to the Bloody Bug area where he had to retreat immediately last time.

In this dark, almost luminous cavern, it was as if everything but vision had been strengthened!

It was faint, but if you held your breath and listened carefully, you could easily hear the slight creeping sound of creatures on the walls and ceilings around you.

Rustle - rustle –

It's mild, but it's frequent.

The smell of fishy smell is naturally like a tide that hits everyone's sense of smell. Every step in the darkness seemed like torture, hitting Arrow's nose and ears.

Brad, who was at the forefront, groped and slowly moved forward.

Arrow's hand rested on the undead soldier's shoulder, moving step by step.

Just reach out and touch the wall next to you...... You should be able to touch those soft, smelly things......

Just as Arrow was thinking this, a soft thing had already sliced past his feet!

This touch made his hairs stand up all at once!

But this feeling is not singular, as you go deeper and deeper, the soft touch of your feet becomes more and more!

Although these little things have no intention of attacking themselves, the feeling of being drowned in slimy flesh is really getting more and more uncomfortable.

Just when Arrow thought he was about to lose his support, Brad in front of him suddenly stopped, and even the whole team stopped.

Arrow tried to poke his head out, only to see a fiery red light shining at the end of the darkness ahead?

The light seemed to have some kind of guidance, drifting in the air, making it impossible to tell how far away it was. But it's clear that there is a power to this light—

A power that moves all the wriggling creatures at its feet towards the light.

"President?"

The squirming sensation at his feet quickly disappeared, and Brad in front of him made a voice asking for countermeasures.

Arrow stared warily at the ever-shining red light, and suddenly! A strong smell of feces and urine came from the firelight!

"Be on the lookout! Raise the torch! ”

As if stimulated by Eero's voice, the fiery red light quickly approached the team! At the moment when he rushed to a distance of about ten steps in front of Brad, a ball of fire suddenly turned into two! At the same time, the torch in Coco's hand was also raised!

Bang ——!

A huge claw slammed into Brad's shield, and another claw slicing with the smell of and urine sliced through Brad's armor without mercy. Iero saw the sturdy slime be torn open under this claw like a piece of paper!

"Defense! Don't hold back! ”

With Airo's command, Brad in front gritted his teeth and did not retreat, but instead covered the shield and stepped forward, the claws that tore through the slime's armor quickly retreated and stopped about five meters in front of everyone.

At this time, the torches of the entire team were finally raised, and under the light of the five torches, a crimson thing appeared in front of them.

It has no skin, and its whole body is full of exposed muscles, and the whole shape is like the upper body of a human being, and two thick claws support the ground, which seems to be the "feet" of movement, which is very eye-catching.

But the underside of the belly was cut off, and only a vertebrae-like thing extended from under the belly, with a little flesh and blood, supporting the back of the entire body, like a tail.

This thing has no head, and in the center of the two arms, the elder has a mouth full of teeth, and the top of the mouth has two luminous organs that emit red light, and I don't know if it's the eyes.

Overall, it felt like a human had been skinned, torn in half from his waist, and bitten off his head.

"What the hell is this?"

Coco muttered under her breath.

Arrow looked at the strong smell of feces and urine on the monster's claws, and the bloodshot mouth that opened and closed. Now he finally knew who was hunting the bloody bugs.

"Defensive formation."

With Merlin's order, the Great Shield Warrior immediately took off his shield and took the lead, and his abundant combat experience and good equipment made him not worry about the strange monster in front of him at all. With the protection of the warriors in the front row, the archers in the back have raised their bows and arrows, ready to take the first fruits of this adventure.

The monster did not move, still standing five meters in front of everyone with its mouth open, neither attacking nor retreating. The archer snorted as he took aim, and the arrow went off the string, piercing the monster's muscular shoulder like a nail.

"Squeak——!

The monster let out a strange cry and raised one of its claws to pull the arrow out of its shoulder. This action made the archer even more proud, and once again mounted the arrow, but it was aimed at one of the monster's luminous organs.

"That's not right! It doesn't move, it's deliberately grabbing our attention! ”

Arrow shouted out as fast as he could.

But he was sure that the archer would never hear him again.

The moment the second arrow bounced off the bowstring, another giant claw descended from the sky like a grim reaper, its sharp claws slicing through the archer's leather helmet like a knife cutting through butter, only to scatter the brains mixed with blood and bone fragments in one blow.

The splash of human blood seemed to provoke the killing aura of this monster, and the claws that had just cut the bone were mercilessly swung towards Merlin behind him, and another warrior immediately stepped up and raised his axe to slash the monster, but the skin of this monster was unexpectedly hard and was not split in half at all.

"Fire Spirit, scorch my enemies!"

With the warrior in his way, Merlin began to chant the incantation without any problems, and the flaming arrows shot out quickly, striking one of the monster's light-emitting organs. With a terrible roar, the monster flicked its claws and struck the axe warrior hard, knocking him flying and knocking him into a nearby wall.

At the same time, the monster in front of Brad also rushed forward at the same time as his partner appeared, and slashed the shield in the big shield's hand with its claws, and the huge force made the defensive warrior take a step back.

In the next moment, Coco's undead soldiers and Brad had bypassed the Great Shield, and the hammer and rusty sword were all swung at the monster. It's a pity that the damage is too low, and it only makes the monster pause slightly, and then rushes towards the two of them again.

"Stand back! Throw away the bloody insect blood cloak on your body! ”

As he gave the order, Arrow took off his cloak and threw it aside, and sure enough, the monster immediately turned around and rushed towards the cloak that Coco and Brad had thrown down.

"It's not an eye, it's just a light-emitting organ!"

Watching the monster tear through the rags, Arrow finally confirmed what the two eyes-like things were. Looking back, the head of the other monster was burned by the fire magic, but after a few moments, the luminous organ was intact again, which showed that the flames really did no harm to these monsters.

In an instant, everyone took off their cloaks, and Merlin lifted the blood mist. The two-headed monster that had lost its target kept tearing at the rags on the ground, and it was also at this time that everyone took a few steps back and adjusted their positions in a slightly more spacious place.

The other magician exhaled a long breath, looked at the corpse of his fellow archers on the ground, and said with some sadness: "He shouldn't have ended up like this...... It's a pity that his beautiful fiancée can only be taken care of by me. You can go in peace. ”

Arrow wasn't in the mood to bother with the team's internal emotions right now, and he quickly checked Brad's armor to make sure that it was only the armor that was broken, and he was relieved that he wasn't injured.

"Hey, now shouldn't be the time to examine your guild member's wounds."

Cream held the dagger, her fingertips trembling slightly.

Following the thief's words, Arrow looked at the monsters over there.

I saw that they had stopped tearing the rags, as if with a slightly dazed feeling trying to support their bodies, shaking back and forth.

After a brief pause, as if confirming a new smell, they slowly moved to the archer's corpse, opened their mouths, and took a tentative bite.

Eating is just a second or two.

The two monsters immediately opened their mouths and devoured the archer's corpse as if they had discovered some kind of new continent! They even let out hostile roars because of collisions with each other!

Is this a good thing?

Arrow tried hard to make himself laugh.

But his feet moved backwards uncontrollably.

"(softly) Prepare to retreat."

He continued to try to keep himself smiling, because only then did he feel like he could not shout out right away.

After seeing the monster devouring humans, Coco and Brad certainly don't have any objections. What's more, it has now been fully proven that their combat power is far from being able to cause any damage to these two monsters.

"Retreat? How does this work? ”

The Great Shield Warrior continued to raise the shield in his hand, and instead took a step forward—

"Cream, you don't have the right to run away. Before the mission is completed, you will either die here, or you will die on the way to escape here! ”

Because of this threat from the big shield warrior, Cream, who was a little tempted to turn his head just now, gritted his teeth and re-tightened the short sword in his hand.

Naturally, the rest of the adventurer's squad were also on the lookout, and Merlin and the other mage had already begun to chant incantations, and it seemed that they would not be able to retreat no matter what.

Seeing this, the two monsters began to tear at the archer's two legs, pulling left and right, and both legs had "eaters". But just as the adventurer squad was preparing to attack......

"Squeak——!

Another sound came from behind everyone, and Arrow turned his head, only to see another monster walking slowly under the gaze of everyone.

"Squeak-"

The monster was noticeably larger than the two, its thick, muscular arms moving around its body like two pillars.

The monster ignored the crowd of adventurers, and walked straight to the pile of rags, sniffed it for a moment, and after a few moments, it came up to a monster that was eating legs, raised its claws, and slammed four bloody streaks on its back.

The smaller monster was in pain, and quickly lowered its legs and stepped aside, whimpering twice at the same time. The big monster seemed to hesitate for a moment, and looked down at the human leg in front of it.

"Not good! You must not let this thing taste human flesh! ”

Arrow didn't know what his meat tasted like in the monster's mouth, but he thought it wouldn't be worse than those-smelling bugs.

So, when you know you're going to taste better, what's the first thing that comes to your mind?
