Chapter 2: The Worm Demon (I)
May 3 of the first year of Shengong.
All around is a wilderness, no villages, and no people.
Miao Dong clenched the knife in his hand a few points, this was not his first mission, but he was still inevitably panicked.
The boots stepped on the dry branches, making a creaking sound, Miao Dong hurriedly lowered his body, his steps were slow and slow, often taking a step, he had to look around for a long time.
Except for the officials above the record level, the rest of the personnel of the Monster Hunting Division are the same as the military system.
Miao Dong was a small soldier seven days ago, and now he is the gang leader.
He had been squatting in this dense forest for a long time, and suddenly there was a sound of rustling in the woods on the left, which made him startled for a moment, but soon his eyebrows were stretched, and it was Zhang Ping of a group.
Zhang Ping was also careful, and when he saw Miao Dong, he walked over in small steps.
Miao Dong asked, "Did you find it?" ”
Zhang Ping shook his head, turned around and scratched an area with his fingers, indicating that no trace of the monster was found there.
Miao Dong sighed, the moonlight is still good tonight, sprinkled in this wood, and the dense branches and leaves are shrouded in a thin veil.
In the courtyard of the Monster Hunting Division, the golden dragon instrument placed can measure the location of the monster. It's just that this monster seems to have discovered the people of the Demon Hunting Division, and it is clear that it has arrived here, but it suddenly disappears.
There weren't many people coming, so they had to spread out and look for them.
Miao Dong looked into the deep forest in the distance, and suddenly asked, "When did we meet with Tian Jian'an at that time?" ”
Zhang Ping said: "After a stick of incense, under this old locust tree, no matter what situation is found, you must come in time!" ”
This is to prevent people from being attacked suddenly, so a place is set to gather every time a stick of incense is passed, so that no one is left alone and killed.
Miao Dong once served as a soldier in Zuo Xiaowei, has been in the army for many years, and has a strong sense of time. The monster hunters are all veterans, and there will be no time to lose sight.
"Wait a little longer." Miao Dong squatted down and tried his best to nourish his physical strength, since the monster knew how to hide, it was an old monster with high intelligence, and he must always be vigilant.
Zhang Ping, like him, always had their hands on the scabbard, a posture that allowed people to quickly pull out the knife.
Half a stick of incense past.
Miao Dong stood up and said, "Don't wait, let's keep walking!" ”
Miao Dong made a mark on the tree, and he didn't expect Tian Jian'an and them to see it, but if they could see it, they would know that Miao Dong had left.
If you don't arrive at the meeting point in time, there are only two possibilities, one is that you are already dead, and the other is that you can't get there in time because of the situation. The rest of the people are veterans, and even if the terrain is not familiar, there will be a way to leave a mark, and there will be no such thing as getting lost.
In either case, it's bad.
Miao Dong and Zhang Ping both pulled out their knives, and the bright blades flashed with a cold light in the middle of the night.
In front of me is a dried mountain stream, and the ground is littered with pebbles of various sizes. The two of them walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and there were many stones, and they would trip if they were not careful.
"Lao Miao, do you think that there is some quiet around here." Zhang Ping suddenly muttered.
Miao Dong's footsteps stopped instantly, his eyes were wide open, and a bad emotion condensed in his heart. From the moment he entered the mountain forest, Miao Dong already felt that something was wrong.
It makes people feel gloomy and frightened from the bottom of their hearts.
Thinking about it this way, even if it is a desolate mountain, how can it be that even the sound of insects has disappeared.
There was dead silence everywhere, as if there was not a single living being.
When you feel the sounds around you disappear, you need to be careful, maybe you have entered the ambush of the other party.
Miao Dong remembered what the old team was saying to him.
He suddenly listened, and in the depths of the deep forest, a small voice faintly came. There was almost nothing but the sound of the two of them breathing, where did the sound come from?
Following the direction from which the voice came, Miao Dong was in front and Zhang Ping was behind, using a knife to remove the thorns in front of him.
A road appeared in front of me.
It is said to be a road, but it is actually a dirt road formed by the removal of many weeds on the ground. A large creature moved past here, dragging the turf.
"Inform your lord first, the two of us won't work!" Zhang Ping tugged at the corner of Miao Dong's clothes behind him.
Miao Dong said: "You go, I'm alone, even if I can't fight, it's okay to run." ”
Zhang Ping didn't hesitate, turned his head and ran, while Miao Dong tightened the knife in his hand a few more points, and at this moment he realized that his hands were already covered with sweat when he didn't know when.
In the distance, there was a huge pitch-black shadow, which was particularly hideous under the moonlight.
Miao Dong's heart was pounding, this is that monster! He didn't intend to startle the grass, but slowed his pace as little as he could, crouched in a row of excellently grown bushes, and looked down the top of the grass.
First he saw clumps of fat flesh piled up heavily. On top of the fatty meat, there are many strange mottled patterns dotted on it. Like the back of a toad, it's disgusting.
This is a huge aconitum worm, with a fat body, and when it stands up, it is five or six feet tall, enough for people to look up.
It opened its huge mouthparts, lined with a row of sharp teeth, and the fat trembled wildly, and the fat worm was feeding. Outside the mouthparts, there are two legs, which have given up the struggle and are instantly swallowed by the aconitum worm.
There were a group of stumps and broken arms scattered on the ground, and Miao Dong even saw Tian Jian'an's head.
His head and upper body were still connected, but he had been cut off from his chest, his intestines scattered all over the ground, and blood seeped through the cracks in the stones. He stared at Miao Dong with wide eyes.
Miao Dong shuddered, and his steps began to retreat.
Lying!
Something hit him.
Miao Dong didn't care, maybe it was the pages of the book, maybe it was the pebbles blown by the wind.
However, the thing fell on his head, and it was still moving.
Miao Dong subconsciously took the thing off his head, and it turned out to be a worm, still wriggling in his palm.
Miao Dong raised his head, and suddenly a black shadow smashed on his face, and it was all insects.
All of them were that kind of insects, wriggling their bodies and piercing Miao Dong's skin with sharp mouthparts.
"Ahh Yes! Yes! Miao Dong threw the knife away, and laboriously pulled the insects on his face, the mouthparts of those insects stabbed fiercely into the flesh of his face, and in the process of tearing, his face was already blurred with flesh and blood.
Miao Dong ran wildly, and countless insects wriggled back and forth on him.
He finally ripped all the bugs off his face, barely opened his eyes, only to find that he had run in front of the giant bug demon.
Click!
Click!
Miao Dong was devoured by the entire insect demon, and the pile of fat meat began to writhe up and down again.
Under the moonlit night, the figure of the insect demon gradually became larger.
Sou!
At this moment, a flash of fire flew over and instantly landed on the insect demon's body.
