Chapter Seventy-Four: The Precursor
Quarter Moon.
In the desolate Gobi Desert, a small group of people is slowly advancing.
"Boss!"
"We've come a long way. Do you want to go on?", the halfling of a small man in the group.
The middle-aged male elf at the head stopped and looked around, and then said, "Bell, do you kid want to be lazy again?" The movement of monsters has been a bit strange recently, and Zenda wants us to reconnoiter the neighborhood. ”
Hearing the elven man's words, the halfling named Bell immediately cried out: "Where am I lazy!"
"Look at my legs, and then yours. I have to take two steps before you take one step. ”
"And I'm not a warrior. ”
Saying that, this halfling also lifted his little short legs, their height is generally about 1.3 to 1.4 meters, and the natural steps are small, although the foot strength is good, but obviously not as fast as others. Hearing the halfling's words, the rest of the group stopped and smiled, and one of them said, "Then take a break." ”
"I'm going to look around. ”
The figure of the warrior monk soared into the air, climbed the rugged cliff, and quickly disappeared from view.
This squad is mainly composed of warrior monks and wanderers, and the middle-aged elf man led by him is a wandering swordsman and the only professional in the team who is close to legendary. The elf race has a very long lifespan, and basically has extraordinary skills after reaching a certain age, which is the foundation accumulated over time.
About ten minutes later.
A sharp whistle sounded, and the people who sat down to rest around suddenly stood up, and the elf man led by him said in a deep voice: "There is a situation!"
"Everybody come with me!"
A small group of people rushed in the direction from which the voice came from, their skills were extremely agile, and even the halfling who fell at the end of the group was extremely agile. This is a reconnaissance team from Chanda, and they will regularly scout the surrounding area of the Four Spirit Canyon, and if there is anything abnormal, they will immediately send a signal.
"Hide your way!" the elven man's voice rang out.
The figure of the warrior monk appeared in front of him, and he prostrated on the ground and waved, and the others also cautiously touched it.
"Whew!"
"What the hell is this!"
After seeing the situation in front of them, the group suddenly gasped, because they saw a huge crack in the ground in the distance, like an open abyss mouth, the ground was covered with a strange viscous liquid, and a large number of demon insects were active around, and in the center was a strange meat tower, about twenty-five meters high, with more than ten hatching organs scattered left and right, and through the pale yellow film, some huge scorpion-like monsters could be seen slowly wriggling in it.
"Look, what the hell is that?" said a wanderer, lowering his voice.
At the entrance to the crypt, a large monster came out, it had eight long arthropod-like legs, its back was covered with carapace, and it looked a bit like a combination of a longhorn and an ant, about the size of a bus, but with such a large size, it moved quickly, and was directing the work of other magic insects at the moment.
"It's kind of like an overseer for the ant clan. But the overseer of the ant clan is not that big!" said a man next to him.
Bell the halfling probed and said, "What's under that crypt?"
The crack in the crypt was so black that it was impossible to see what was inside.
The middle-aged elf at the head hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Inform Chanda of this situation immediately! Bell, you go back and inform the fortress, and we will stay and continue to monitor." ”
As soon as the words fell.
The warrior monk in front of him said in a condensed voice: "The situation is not right! Look over there!"
Buzz.
There was an eerie noise.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a group of hideous monsters flying in the sky not far away, their appearance looked a bit like wind snakes, but the body surface was covered with a solid carapace, the head had rugged antennae, and the sharp and huge mouthparts were full of threat, these flying snakes were fast, they were flying all the way from afar and seemed to be scouting and patrolling. There are many groups of wind snakes on the String Moon, they are the descendants of the feathered serpent god and mortal things, they used to be distributed in many places, but now they are quite rare, the wind snake is on the verge of extinction in the invasion of ancient evil things, and these monsters are very likely to be transformed from them.
"Oh no! these flying snakes will find us!" said the warrior monk in front.
The middle-aged elf led by him immediately decided: "All retreat! Retreat now!"
Whoa!
A shrill chirp rang out.
As soon as they made a move, they were spotted by the flying snakes in the distance, a large number of monsters rushed over, and some Scout Eyes also rose into the air behind the meat tower.
"Let's go!"
"Flare to me!" the elven man at the head said in a deep voice.
The entire monster lair was alarmed.
A large number of demon insects poured out from the deep ground, and they scattered and surrounded them left and right, and hundreds of flying snakes in the sky were already rapidly approaching.
"Kill all these people!"
An icy psionic message sounded, and at the entrance to the crypt, a hideous Zela queen crawled out, staring ahead with a merciless gaze, and said slowly, "Don't let any of them go!"
Buzz!
Inside the demon insects that poured out from the depths of the crypt, some slender demon insects spread their wings, and they looked like flying ants, with the help of their wings, they could fly at low altitudes. These demon insects surrounded them from all directions, and in the blink of an eye, they sealed everyone's retreat.
"It's too late!"
"We are surrounded. The warrior monk in front of him said with a bitter expression.
Shout!
As soon as a flare rises into the air, it explodes at an altitude of thousands of meters in the blink of an eye, and can be seen clearly even from a distance.
The middle-aged elf led by the leader seemed to have completed his mission at this moment, slowly pulled out the stabbing sword at his waist, and said in a deep voice: "It's an honor to work with you for so long!"
The crowd was silent.
Then he drew his weapons one by one and faced the surging army of demon insects in all directions. Since they chose to participate in this operation as scouts, they have long been prepared to face this moment in their hearts.
The battle did not last long.
Surrounded by thousands of monsters, the reconnaissance team was soon completely overwhelmed by the demon tide. However, not long after the flare was launched, the other reconnaissance teams scattered around immediately moved, and then one after another urgent information was sent back to Zenda in the rear.
An army of monsters is gathering!
They found more than a dozen hatching monster nests around the Four Spirit Canyon, and there might be more like this in other places.
