Chapter 231: Sandworms
The sudden call for help surprised everyone.
As the battle progressed, Matsuma Castle gradually learned more about the Blood Beast, and the battle with the Blood Beast became more skillful. The ferocious and dangerous Blood Beasts are gradually losing their advantage. Everyone began to learn how to divide the blood beasts, how to fight together, and how to find the weaknesses of the blood beasts.
The characteristics of human beings who are good at learning and summarizing are vividly reflected in Matsuma Castle. After the weakness of each blood beast is found, the City Lord's Mansion will quickly announce it to the whole city. People have found ways to deal with the splatters of poisonous blood, and casualties are rapidly decreasing.
The blood crystals in the blood beast's body also let people see the gift of resistance, and Yuan Xiu's strength continued to skyrocket because of the use of blood crystals. No matter how stupid a person is, he understands that the stronger the person, the more likely he is to survive.
The situation in Matsuma Castle is moving in a stable direction.
The strength of a large number of Yuan cultivators has skyrocketed, which also makes them more and more comfortable in dealing with blood beasts, and there are few signals for urgent help. Even if they encounter a more powerful blood beast, everyone will call for nearby companion support and implement wolf pack tactics.
Now even some bold Yuan Xiu began to take the initiative to arrange baits and traps, hoping to hunt blood crystals.
But there is a big difference between a call for help and an emergency call, which only occurs in a very critical moment. Sending out an emergency call for help means that the scene is out of control, and 100,000 are urgent.
Shi Xueman didn't hesitate, the cloud gun in her hand was mentioned, her eyes like stars were extremely firm, and she said in a deep voice: "Who still has the strength?"
The students stood up one after another, Shi Xueman was very authoritative in the team, everyone was helped by her in the battle, or was saved by her, when she spoke up, everyone responded.
"Me!"
"Add me one!"
......
Shi Xueman didn't drag the mud and water, and ordered more than a dozen people in a row: "You go with me, and the others stay behind." Be vigilant. ”
The chosen one walked to Shi Xueman's side, and everyone looked calm and calm, without the slightest panic.
Jiang Wei quickly arranged a guard post on the side.
Shi Xueman turned her face and said coldly to Ai Hui: "Take care of your injuries." ”
She glanced at Ai Hui deeply, and turned away with the students, her body like electricity, disappearing into the darkness.
Ai Hui looked at Shi Xueman's resolute back in a daze, and Shi Xueman's ability made him a little surprised. Thinking back to Shi Xueman when the blood disaster just broke out, it was like a different person now.
After a while. Ai Hui, who came back to his senses, was dumbfounded, who didn't change much?
Even the fat man now knows to cultivate seriously!
and Shi Xueman were accompanied by Duanmu Dusk, and he was very relieved. Genius boys like Duanmu Dusk and Shi Xueman, when the realm is not enough, their battles can be comparable to ordinary Yuan Xiu. And now their realm has been greatly improved, and their strength has improved greatly, far exceeding that of ordinary Yuan Xiu.
In the Five Elements Heaven, the role of the strong is never something that can be achieved by piling up the number of people. It's like the current Matsuma Castle, all the Yuan Xiu add up. None of them are as big as the role played by a combat master.
This is why people have high hopes for Ai Hui.
Not only Ai Hui was relieved, but the other students were also very relieved, and everyone was busy with their own work. Some are cultivating, some are thinking. There were also discussions in groups of three or five, and there were also discussions with each other, and everyone had begun to get used to fighting like a veteran.
Ai Hui is also thinking about how to solve his own "residual problem".
When Shi Xueman and Duanmu Dusk arrived at the scene, many Yuan Xiu had already arrived.
"This is where we last hunted blood-streaked earthworms. "There is humanity among the cadets.
But it was as if they didn't hear him. Everyone's eyes fell on the venue, and everyone gasped.
The hard ground was now like silt and quicksand, a huge whirlpool of quicksand. It was flowing slowly, and something was faintly visible swimming inside. The rubble from the surrounding ruins was constantly swept in, but it was constantly crushed, getting smaller and smaller until it turned into gravel.
The quicksand whirlpool is more than 100 meters in diameter, and the impact and shock brought by such a huge whirlpool are extremely strong.
What's even more shocking is that it is constantly devouring the ground around it, and the quicksand swirls are constantly increasing.
The other Yuan Xiu who came in time were also dumbfounded, their faces full of shock.
Shi Xueman reacted and asked in a loud voice, "Who sent the signal?"
"It's us. ”
Several Yuan Xiu recognized Shi Xueman and hurriedly came over to report.
The No. 1 team is the most powerful squad in Matsuma Castle today, and several of the main characters are well known.
Shi Xue took a deep breath and stabilized her emotions: "How did you find out?"
"We heard the siren of the parachute bell and rushed over. We found that there seemed to be something in the cave, so we attacked it, but it didn't work. Then we can see that the ground softens, it becomes dough, and then it starts to whirlpool. The whirlpool was small at the time......"
Shi Xueman interrupted without hesitation and asked, "How old?"
"It's only about 20 meters in diameter. The horror on the faces of the Yuan cultivators remained: "We attack the whirlpool, but it is of no use. The vortex is constantly expanding, and the speed is very fast, and we have no choice, so we immediately launch an emergency call for help. ”
"How long has it been from twenty meters to now?" Shi Xueman asked carefully.
"More than ten minutes. ”
Shi Xueman's heart was quiet, and he expanded from twenty meters to one hundred meters in more than ten minutes, and there was no sign of stopping yet. Her gaze was fixed on the swirling swirl of gravel, as if to see through what was inside.
Suddenly, she noticed that something seemed to be swimming in it, and it was not very large.
She turned her face and asked Duanmu Dusk, "Is there a way to catch one out?"
Duanmu Dusk nodded, did not speak, his face was solemn, the swirling quicksand swirl, he felt a very thick earth element force. He was also curious about what the little things that were swimming inside.
The ten fingers bloom like flowers, and a series of afterimages are frozen in the air, with an indescribable rhythm.
Above the quicksand whirlpool, suddenly a cyan twig appeared out of thin air, and disappeared into the whirlpool like lightning.
The blue and white branches were tensed and straightened. Just when everyone was worried that the blue and white tangled branches were going to be pulled off, the blue and white tangled branches tightened, and with a bang, a small insect that was so entangled was pulled up, and its body kept struggling in the air.
When they saw the little bugs clearly, everyone's faces changed.
"Sandworms!"
The sandworm is about the size of a palm, and its flat body is made up of many arthropods. This allows its body to twist at will. Sandworms are fearsome social creatures. Their flat bodies are very hard, like springs made of steel, capable of vibrating at alarming frequencies. When tens of thousands or more sandworms shake together, the ground will continue to shatter until it shatters into extremely fine dust.
In the sand, they are able to swim flexibly.
Sandworms are fearsome predators, and their way of hunting is completely different from other beasts. They are fed in patches of sandy soil, rocks, and everything in the desertified area, whether plants or wild animals.
The bodies of these sandworms are dark red. Characteristics of infection with blood toxins.
However, sandworms are rarely found on the ground because they don't like light. Their predatory area is mostly underground, where food is not as abundant as on the ground, but there is no light that they hate.
Shi Xueman's face was very bad, if there was any time when the sandworm might appear, it would be at night.
It's night.
The quicksand whirlpool on the ground is constantly expanding, and now the diameter is more than 60 meters.
Sand worms entangled in blue and white branches make a squeaky sound. The slowly rotating sand whirlpool suddenly **** a sand stream, like a sand tongue spitting out, extremely fast, accurately hitting the entangled sandworms in mid-air.
Duanmu's body shook at dusk. The blue and white branches broke off, and the sandworms disappeared.
Everyone couldn't help but gasp again, revealing a look of horror.
Sandworms are masters of soil control, and they are numerous. There are no creatures in the quicksand that can threaten them. This is also why when everyone sees the sandworm, their faces are extremely different.
Seeing that the quicksand whirlpool is growing, everyone has no good solution.
The slow-flowing quicksand is the best protective layer for sandworms. It is very difficult to penetrate the thick quicksand and pose a threat to the sandworms.
Shi Xueman's heart was full of uneasiness, the sandworm came a little too strangely, the sandworm lived in the depths of the ground below two thousand meters, and rarely appeared on the ground.
At this juncture, it appeared in Matsuma Castle, which was a bit too coincidental.
Shi Xueman couldn't say why, but he just felt uneasy.
The sandworms must be stopped immediately, otherwise, the entire Matsuma Castle may be reduced to quicksand, and everyone will have nowhere to hide.
In nature, sandworms have few natural predators, but this definitely does not include humans. How could human beings not study this terrible creature? There are many resources underground, and sandworms devour almost everything, and in Yuan Xiu's eyes, they are definitely harmful insects.
The Shi family also has a record of this, and Shi Xueman happens to remember it.
The cloud-stained sky in her hand suddenly dispersed into a cloud of mist, floating above the quicksand whirlpool, and the clouds in the sky were attracted and gathered from all directions.
In the blink of an eye, the clouds on the quicksand became heavy, like cotton that has been soaked up in water.
More and more clouds are sinking into the clouds.
Bang bang.
The water cascades down from the clouds and mist, like a waterfall.
The water flows into the quicksand, which gets wet and turns into silt, which immediately slows down.
Sensing the danger, the sandworms shook wildly, but no matter how much they vibrate, in addition to creating countless ripples in the mud, they still could not stop the water from pouring down, but instead accelerated the penetration of water into the sand.
Shi Xueman remembers very well that sandworms don't like water, they like dryness.
A steady stream of water vapor collects and turns into water and flows into the quicksand whirlpool, no, it's a quagmire now.
Sand worms, which are extremely agile in the quicksand, are at a loss in the mud, and what is more deadly is that they have difficulty breathing. Soon, suffocation and death of sandworms began to panic and flee for their lives deep underground.
But their bodies shook so that the water almost followed them into the ground. Dry sand, which quickly turns into silt, becomes thinner and softer.
The cheers of everyone resounded around the big quagmire, and no one thought that the terrible sandworm would be killed so easily.
Everyone looked at Shi Xueman's eyes full of admiration.
But they were surprised to find that Shi Xueman's face was pale, and his eyes showed fear. (To be continued.) )
