Chapter 423: Something to hide

In fact, if you think about it, the scene just now is really funny. Apparently there were cultists and the monsters they kept and worshipped, but they performed a pantomime after the team came up. That is, carefully avoid each team member who approaches him, so that they do not really touch him, and then create the illusion that there is nothing here.

It sounds a bit unbelievable, but there are all experienced players in the room, including old monsters like Kailas and Jung, and it is extremely difficult to play this kind of catch-and-dodge trick in front of them, even if they can perfectly disguise themselves. Because their intuition can transcend the senses, like the anomalies perceived by rotten teeth.

But just like Cheese's definition of magic and magic, if they use magic to cover their tracks, then they must not be really foolproof, because magic is still in the final analysis of the rules of the world's operation to find convenient use. Strange magic is different, evil gods from outside the world do not obey all the rules of this world, and the same is true of the spells they give.

But it would be a mistake to think that magic is a higher level of magic, that magic is a craft, a science, and that the ultimate appeal of wizards and mages to this discipline is to understand and grasp its roots and push back the truth on which these spells depend. The magic is completely uncontrollable, for both sides.

"Be careful!" The Elf Snitch ran two quick steps, his thick paws slamming into the door, kicking the face away. It wasn't because the rotten teeth jumped high, but because the face belonged to one of the two cultists who had been beheaded by Atta! The two falling heads, from their broken necks and muzzles, stretched out yellowish-white mucus tentacles, like maggots, but thick and strong.

"Oh! no!" exclaimed not from the members of the team, but more cultists emerged from the void as the concealed spells were revealed. One of the unfortunate eggs was too close to the two companions who had been hacked to death, and became food for the huge worm that protruded from its neck, and without hesitation, the two worms opened their flower-like mouthparts at the top, revealing the rows of sharp teeth inside, and devoured the two arms of the poor worm.

By the time the others pulled him out of the mouths of the two worms, all that was left of his arm was Senran's bones, which were still covered in tooth marks. Obviously, the worms that emerged from the corpses were not set up in advance by the cultists, and the panic on their faces did not lie.

"Stupid guys, they must have eggs in their bodies, and the covert spell activated those things, turning them into bait. Jung clearly knew something about this trick, and he knew very well that the cost of magic was never as clear as magic, the latter was based on the balance of costs, and the former had no scruples, and those who unleashed it would never end well. They often end up in a situation worse than death.

As if to verify the vampire's words, before the man who had lost his arms could scream at his throat, two balls of blood erupted from the junction of his arms and torso, followed by two or a terrible worm stretching out of what should have been a breach in his arm bone, making an unsettling noise. As for the original owner of this body?

He had sadly witnessed everything, how his body had been destroyed, and then a monster like that had grown out of it, and his brain had taken a last resort out of the emergency mechanism that a normal human should follow, that is, he was scared to death alive. Now his body has become a part of other lives, and it is likely that it has been so for a long time.

Atta witnessed everything in front of her, and there was anger and anger in her eyes. She had seen the same thing, in the grasslands, in the wolf lord's bazaar, hollowing out human entrails and camouflaging the evil worms that lurked within. The twisted offspring of the great fear that inhabits the Celestial Tree, the creeping monsters that devour humanity and lurk within, are nightmares more terrible than vampires and ghouls combined.

There is no reason to exist, no reason to compromise, no room for consideration. Anyone in this world who sees them will either flee or fight, either way, remember that it will be a struggle that only one side will win.

Of course, this feeling is only for the creatures on the other side of the world, and in the case of the worms, it is entirely possible that they will see this as a symbiotic relationship between the two sides. Imagine a xenomorphic worm that replaces your internal organs, even your bones and other parts, but instead of controlling your mind or devouring your brain, it acts as a discreet part of your body's circulation, even mimicking your heartbeat, breathing, and other physiological needs. But this demand is just a simulation, in fact, as long as the brain is not destroyed, your body functions far more than several times.

Is this a good deal? Isn't it a good deal?

Speaking of which, the cultists who appeared, the bodies of cultists transformed by worms, broke into the team here, and for a while, the three parties were in a mess. But are they overlooking something?

When Atta attacked the cultists, what did Kailath, who shot at the same time as her, slash at the same time? Why haven't you heard the talkative swordsman say another word of ridicule?

Is he caught in a stalemate and has no time to speak, or is he unable to speak?

"In the name of the Fairy King's Cold Flame, I hate bugs! I hate all worms!" the figure of the cat fairy streaked through the air, and was lightly picked up by Jung who floated in the air. The latter let go of his hand as soon as he realized that Kairaz was covered in a layer of slime, allowing the swordsman to fall to the floor.

Fortunately, this height is not a problem for cats. Kailas landed on all fours, the hair on his body standing up under the slime, and he was already in a fighting state.

The cat elf will fall on all fours, which means that the sword he should have held in his hand is gone. Half of the Swift Sword's blade and grip shook in the air, but what it pierced into was still disfigured.

Unlike the cultists who gave up their disguises as soon as they were exposed, the monster they kept seemed to be extraordinarily shy, reluctant to show its true face even if a blade entered its body. But that didn't stop it from wreaking havoc, as Kairaz was knocked away, the monster became agitated, its body began to writhe, the entire floor shook, dust falling from the rooftops, and a squeaky moan made one worry about whether the floor beneath his feet would be able to support the impact.

"Please stop being angry! "Calm your anger!" The cultists felt the disturbance of the invisible monster, and immediately stopped thinking about other things, and let the blade of the magic sword and the monsters of their companions wreak havoc, they all rushed to the side without looking, fell to their knees, and shouted loudly in a reverent tone.

At first, few of them could understand what they were saying, but gradually the content of their mouths changed from emotional words to some kind of prayers.

Atta didn't know what these people were thinking, but they were here to catch them and what they had come up with, and there was no reason to stop. Alice's silver crossbow shoots the kneeling cultists down, and the elves prepare to kill the hidden ones with their blades.

However, the worm body, which had just acted casually, seemed to be called upon, and actually began to protect the cultists spontaneously. These things with partial human bodies and worms are actually not very capable of fighting, and many of their movements are not threatening in the eyes of real warriors, but the key is that they are unusually strong, and they can't be killed no matter how they are cut.

"Kill those guys, don't let them finish reading! Quick!" the vampire commanded, with his feet off the ground.

His hands extended from his cloak, turning into two powerful arms covered with long hair and muscles like wolf claws. After giving instructions, Jung himself joined the fray.
