"-Work with the villagers to fight off pesky bugs and defend the crops!"

Ethan's eyebrows jumped, and his expression was a little speechless.

Lem Village, which has lived in seclusion deep into the rainforest for generations, is an unexplored area that follows its own way of life behind closed doors. Here you can even see cattle and sheep and livestock, handicraft workshops, and a subsistence smallholder economy that has long disappeared from public view.

Perhaps it is such an outdoor dwelling place hidden deep in the dense forest, which also attracts the covetousness of some creatures in the rainforest. However, fortunately, the unique natural miasma protects the inner ecology, and most of the rainforest creatures will not be close to the village at all, except for one.

The Worm of Zerig.

Social creatures, poisonous miasma does not leave a trace on their body surface, immune to water and fire, the only way to kill is to remove limbs to make it difficult for them to move, and then kill them one by one.

After reluctantly agreeing to disperse some of the miasma so that the program team could retrieve Lena's body, the black-faced villager went back early to set up a cordon and weapons. Their so-called weapons are actually some shovels and shovels used for farm work, and it is easy to mistake people that the previous insect plague was not very powerful.

This thought continued until the first Zerig worm came into view.

Although he was ready to face a group of alien zergs in his heart, after seeing the first bug, Qiu Xuan still choked up.

The Worm of Zerig has eight appendages covered in barbs and hairs, up to two meters long, two of which have sickle-shaped tips that go straight into the ground to help them walk and cut, and the remaining six that are bent into crab claws with barbed burrs. The long, thick sticky mouthparts are dragged to the ground, and the main trunk is scaly, and the simmering laminated scales are attached to the shrimp-shaped arch body one by one, secreting protective mucous membranes as it crawls.

If it's just here, what's really disgusting is that it's such a standard Zerg torso of the opposite sex, but it's a human face imprinted.

It's not a human-faced beast or something like that, it's not even a deformity, it's a real human face. There is no shortage of distinct facial features, and there seems to be a small air flow exhaling from the nasal cavity, which is a human face that is not inconsistent with anyone, and it is matched by a grotesque and terrifying Zerg body.

"It's too strange, I'm gone." Ethan scolded and retreated to Qiu Xuan's side, "Do you think those villagers felt like they were killing people when they cleaned up the bugs before?" ”

"You think they'll care about that?"

Qiu Xuan only silently took out the machine gun, she wouldn't do it before someone else did it, and even this time the so-called protection of crops from the insects, if it wasn't for the camera still shooting at her, she didn't really want to participate. Fortunately, there are a lot of them now, even if they are paddling bastards, they will not be too conspicuous, not to mention that she is still "having a high fever", and no one will condemn anything.

Unexpectedly, the man who was seriously suspected of killing Lena was the first to strike.

According to the information that Qiu Xuan squatted on the tree before, he should be an archer. The man pulled out five arrows directly behind his back, and it didn't even take a second to raise the bow and pull the string, and the five sharp arrows in different directions were straight towards the Zerig worm at a tricky angle.

The bug lifted two of its strongest forelimbs, and the sickle-shaped tip slashed at three of them. The next second, the man with the bow and arrow smiled, and then the string fired the sixth sharp arrow.

It was an unremarkable-looking arrow with a plain dull gray color, but it was such a sharp arrow, which was also easily stopped, and the moment it touched the insect's forelimbs, it immediately detonated the five remaining arrows. In a small area, red-black flames and smoke rose up, blasting the entire Zerig worm in the smoke.

The danger sense went off for a second.

"You can't kill it like this, I said I'll have to cut off all the eight legs." The black-faced Lyme villager watched the scene quietly, and then spoke lightly. He raised the shovel in his hand and walked towards the smoke-shrouded area, and the man with the quiver frowned, and said loudly: "That's a special explosive, if it is completely burned on the target, it can even blow up the engine room." ”

The black-faced villager ignored him.

The man's face twisted violently, and then another sharp arrow shot out and shot directly at the villager's back. Qing Baichuan looked at him with a mentally handicapped look, and rolled his eyes as if he couldn't stand it, but he didn't organize a move.

The black-faced villager didn't even change the direction he was heading, allowing the arrows to shoot straight into his back, while at the same time, the smoke cleared, and the energy that could be used to blow up the cabin was only enough to leave a few light-colored scratches on the insects. The Worm of Zerig slowly withdrew the appendages that were overlapping and stopped at the head, and the eyes on the strange man's face were already open, staring straight in the direction of the man!

Even if she wasn't looked at directly by this gaze, Qiu Xuan still felt a physiological nausea.

In Ethan's words, the face was just too grotesque. It's not a bloody tragedy, nor is it ugly and terrifying enough to be terrifying, but it's an unacceptably creepy thriller hunt that causes physical discomfort, and a glance makes people go crazy.

The black-faced villager still had the same gloomy expression, as if he was used to seeing it, and he raised his shovel to the joint of the worm's appendage and hammered it down, and the worm hissed and raised the tip of the main arthropod and slashed down. Equally shocking was that the villager stood still at all, just as he had avoided the man's arrows before, and the sharp scythe-like tip could not even break half of his flesh, just as the blasting arrow could not hurt the worm of Zerig.

As he did, he unloaded the eight appendages of the worms one by one, until all that was left on the ground was the face of the Hunter and the struggling torso of the Lord.

The man with the arrow stood to the side, his face gloomy as he was about to fight with the villagers of Lyme.

It's no wonder that Jingchuan and the production team have always behaved like the villagers in the village before before, and their physical fitness and combat power really can't be measured by ordinary standards. It's just that...... Is it because of the evolutionary variation of the body caused by the environment? Or is there some other reason? Qiu Xuan stood at the back of the line and swept the machine gun in his hand.

The villagers on the improvised watchtower blew the whistle of a full-scale infestation of insects, and the villagers and players blocked the entrance of the village, and with the previous demonstration, how to kill the worm of Zerig should not be a difficult task for them as the executioners.

The crowd quickly trained their battle memories to deal with the Worm of Zerig in constant combat, with melee players blocking in front, sharp attackers killing on the side, ranged players standing behind to release attacks, and support players being responsible for adding buffs to heal.

Qiu Xuan was very shameless in the back line of the auxiliary, and he didn't care whether the marksmanship was accurate or not, he closed his eyes and shot with a bang, and now the scene was too chaotic, and no one would pay attention to the few (hundred) bullet holes flying around. What's more, she could see that among the remaining eleven contestants, except for the man who was dismissed at the beginning, only Abu and the woman who went up to dance first were really serious about fighting.

After all, anyone can see that those villagers with amazing physical fitness don't need their help at all, and they can solve the invading Zerig worms on their own, and even think that they are holding them back.

Qiu Xuan sighed with emotion: "It's a bit like playing defending the radish." ”

Xiaolu also followed her, and when she heard the words, she asked, "What is the defense of the radish?" ”

"It's just a tower defense game, and it's fun to pass the time."

"Oh, that'......"

"Beware!"

There was a short and low cheer behind her, Qiu Xuan reflexively pulled Xiaolu to the side, but someone behind her suddenly grabbed her arm and dragged her into the crowd.

I saw that above the insects that were about to be swept away, several Zerig insects with similar appearances rose into the sky. Two huge bony wings poked out of the connected arthropods, and bugs with grotesque faces hissed and flew into the sky, and their long, thick mouthparts swept towards the crowd in the back row!

After an initial brief panic, the people reacted and retreated, slamming their weapons into the air. Qiu Xuan stood firm, fired two symbolic shots, glanced behind him, and said, "I can dodge it myself, aren't you afraid of deducting your salary like this?" ”

The man with the camera stopped talking, and still looked as silent as he had been with the cameraman. Only Joe silently rolled his eyes, and pointed his finger forward at Ethan, who was seventeen or eighteen people away, indicating that his subject was there.

Qin Jiuyuan glanced at them silently, and after a few seconds of pause, he still reluctantly raised his feet and walked in the direction of Ethan.

After a long time, the editor in charge of Ethan's publicity needed additional editing highlights at the end of the episode: ...... Why can't I find this video of Ethan fighting monsters at all??

It was only then that the villagers, who had been silent for a long time, began to visibly panic. It seemed that there had never been a situation before when the Worms of Zerig suddenly had the ability to fly, and they became momentarily helpless.

With the air as a battle arena, the situation, which had previously seemed one-sided, began to get tricky. On the one hand, the original fighting methods of the Lyme villagers are no longer applicable, and on the other hand, even these executioners do not have many flying props themselves.

The situation is very passive, and they can only defend on the one hand, and attack by protecting those who attack from a distance in the middle. After the thick mouthparts were stained with some blood, the attack of the Zerig Worms began to slow down, and they began to fly towards the village in an organized manner.

"They must not be allowed into the village!"

This was the first time Qiu Xuan had seen black-faced villagers look so excited and panicked, and even some villagers with the same ugly faces began to throw their weapons into the air in a panic to stop those bugs. Qing Baichuan crossed her arms and glanced at them, and suddenly saw the photographer who was following her, she suddenly hooked her lips and smiled, and pulled out her long knife.

Glancing at Mo Fang next to her, the woman's fingers stroked the long knife to perform, and then, the familiar and pulsating electric light churned from the handle inch by inch in the direction of her fingers. Suddenly, the Qingbaichuan long knife swept and slashed out a volley blow, and the dragon thunderbolt swept the thunderbolt in front of the Zerig insect in the air!

"It's useless to say it!" The black-faced villager began to get angry and roared, "You can only kill them by cutting off the appendages!" ”

Qing Baichuan smiled contemptuously, and the dancing electric light did not hit the insect directly, but condensed directly in front of it into a huge net of thunder and lightning, crackling and flashing terrifying sparks.

The pace of the Zerig Worm's progress paused for a few moments, and it was in these few seconds that Mo, who had already been prepared, released his hand.

The strangely shaped Rubik's Cube rises straight into the air, splicing and rotating itself to form one side of the same color. Then, within the range of the Rubik's Cube glow, the flow of time stopped.

The ability to pause time?!

Qiu Xuan frowned suddenly, and Ethan, who had retreated, also restrained his expression and looked bad.

After that, it was hard to fight. The two caught this information in each other's eyes and looked away at the same time and did not speak.

"I'll teach you the next?" Qing Baichuan flicked his fingers, and didn't look at the frozen Zerig worm in the air, and only said in a haughty and understated tone.

The villagers of Lyme were the first to react, climbing up one by one with the help of the height of the high wall or watchtower around them, and then jumping onto the back of the bugs. Some of the players also began to use their elemental abilities to kill, and by the time the cube was retracted, all that was left on the ground was a large swath of severed limbs and a torso with a human face attached.

Abu walked back and glanced at the black-faced villager. "These ...... Stuff, what are you going to do with it? ”

The villager looked back at him, walked straight up to a torso that was staring at him with open eyes, and raised the shovel in his hand with a blank face and smashed it down. In the first blow, he expertly dodged the splatters of blood, and in a few more slammed them into his torso with unmistakable precision. The human-faced bug that had lost its appendage began to howl violently, and its cry changed, not the unique hiss of the Zerg that relied on vibration and friction before, but the scream that really belonged to humans.

Qiu Xuan gasped when she heard Ran.

The black-faced villager slammed down without changing his face, until the screams became weaker and weaker, and the torso with the human face completely turned into a puddle of mushy flesh. The rest of the villagers walked towards the remaining insects, and the black-faced villager glanced at Abu, who had a calm face, and said, "After cutting off their appendages, they are still alive, and they will even attack again when people are not looking, only in this way can this kind of ...... be completely killed Beast. ”
