Chapter 22: The Companion Beast

And as Su Mu further understood, the core essence of Qi energy in this brain hole world.

Another rather bold idea also appeared in Su Mu's mind at the same time:

"Since as long as you practice higher-level fighting skills, you can maintain the balance of Qi energy almost without loss, then Su Mu, with his extremely strong fighting skill analysis ability, won't he be able to continue to improve by leaps and bounds?"

However, fantasy is fantasy, in fact, Su Mu himself understands.

His biggest problem at the moment is not the consumption of Qi energy at all, but where to go to get a glimpse of the fighting skills.

After all, based on Su Mu's current experience, if someone really showed his fighting skills unguarded in front of him, he himself would inevitably be involved in an extremely dangerous situation.

Obviously, it's not a good enough state.

And through the change of power in the mercenary team, as well as the fact that Han Jun obviously concealed something, Su Mu really realized:

Once you leave the simple coastal fishing village, the world is no longer gentle.

Even when Su Mu was thinking about it, another hideous thing in this world was also tirelessly entangled.

......

"The number of wild beasts around him has become multiplier again. ”

With the news sent back by the archers, everyone in the mercenary team immediately became more and more vigilant.

Even the magic apprentices, who rarely took the initiative, gave speed blessings to several other agile mercenaries after silently reciting the spell at this time, so that they could also act as the team's eyeliner.

And when the agile mercenaries scattered in all directions of the team, the news they sent back was filled with a strong sense of urgency:

"Half a mile to the right, in the sand dunes, a pack of coyotes is walking side by side with our group. ”

"In the sea buckthorn bush in the front left, a small herd of beasts lurks here. ”

"Within the line of sight behind them, there were already wild beasts with stiff bodies, as if they were being controlled by worms. ”

With more and more disturbing news, constantly converging from all directions, the mercenaries finally found out in despair:

According to the siege brewing by the worms now, it is impossible for the mercenaries to return to the trade route before they are attacked, and this battle, which has been avoided for a whole day, still has to be resolved by force.

And at this time, a detail that was overlooked by everyone was also mentioned by the five-person team:

"Haven't any of you noticed that the archer in charge of our squad has not returned for at least twenty minutes after he has gone to the front of the road to reconnoitre?"

......

With this last news, like the last straw that crushed the camel, it weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.

The stubborn and fast mercenary team finally stopped running blindly.

And when everyone was immersed in this dreary atmosphere, they subconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands and looked ahead with awe-inspiring eyes.

Hundreds of meters away, in the bulge, there was indeed some kind of delirious beast with a large size, slowly approaching over the sand dunes step by step.

After waiting for a whole day, the worms finally prepared a more powerful weapon, directly controlling the body of another delusional beast, driving the strong body that far surpassed the beast to fight.

And with the body of the delusional beast as the host, little by little it became clear in everyone's field of vision.

Su Mu was even more stunned to find that what was slowly approaching was actually ...... The seventh-order delusional monster that restrained the puppet beast last night, the scorpion of bone sand!

"The Creeping Earth Worm can actually control a higher-level delirium beast?"

I don't know who it is, muttering to myself in a panic.

However, his doubts were quickly denied by the magic apprentice.

It's just that the explanation itself, which negates this doubt, is an even more helpless fact:

"It's not control, it's a symbiotic relationship, and the worm can't kill the host's consciousness, so it immediately sees itself as part of the host's body and makes the host king. So what we see in front of us is not only those puppets that are easily torn apart, but the king of worms...... Companion Skeleton Beast. ”

......

In the approach of the companion skeleton beasts, the creeping ground worms lurking in other directions also controlled the beasts that were driven away, and they came towards the mercenaries like iron buckets.

At this moment, the mercenaries obviously have no way to escape.

Therefore, everyone took out twelve points of concentration, striving to win the confrontation with the delusional demon group, and then in exchange for that trace of vitality.

It wasn't until this moment of life and death that the mustard between Han Jun and several other front-line powerhouses finally ceased to exist in the face of pressure.

The strongest combat forces, including Su Mu, had quickly confirmed each other's decision with their eyes.

Then, at the same time, they headed for the threatening companion beast.

I saw that Su Mu and a few people were still in the vanguard of the fourth-order defenders in the five-person team, relying on his huge shield as a barrier, and they were approaching the companion skeleton beast little by little.

And at this time, although the archer was dead, Su Mu, Han Jun, and the twin brothers were added to the attackers, and the frontal breakthrough power had obviously increased several times.

As for the third-order magic apprentice with small characters, he had already blessed everyone's body with acceleration magic.

Even he himself clutched his wand and followed closely behind the opposing team.

......

As the distance between the two sides increases, it becomes smaller and smaller.

The worms that came out of the bodies of the associated skeleton beasts were also swaying in mid-air so clearly.

Finally, with the thunderous roar of the defenders, the entire attacking team suddenly erupted with an astonishing momentum, pressing forward like a galloping herd, and the toes tore the earth to pieces.

But the body of the companion skeleton beast, after all, was once a small-character seventh-order delusional monster.

At this time, with the blessing of the Qi energy of the worm, it is obviously not afraid of the impact of everyone's amazing momentum.

I saw the companion skeleton beast insert its feet slightly into the ground, firmly fixed itself in place, and then turned the two huge scorpion pincers into armor, crossing each other in front of him.

Then there was a piercing roar that exploded across the wilderness.

The shield and the scorpion pincers touched each other, and it was obvious that neither side could please each other.

The broad, sturdy steel shield was sunken to the extent that it was visible to the naked eye. The scorpion pincers of the accompanying skeleton beasts are also shackled by shield strikes, and cannot immediately attack everyone.

Seeing this, the rest of the people certainly didn't dare to miss the opportunity, and they had already used their best fighting skills, and they all beckoned to the body of the companion skeleton beast.

However, although the companion skeleton beast is locked with two pincers, its extremely deadly scorpion tail is still not to be underestimated.

Therefore, when everyone attacked, it did not really fall on the body of the skeleton beast. However, the skeleton beast suddenly swung its giant tail, and used the sharp and poisonous tail needle as the edge to defuse all the attacks one by one.

However, the crowd failed to strike, but the skeleton beast had already double-pinned its strength, directly knocking the defender to the ground.

Then the scorpion tail that swept away everyone went straight into the defender's chest.
