Chapter 3: Little Bugs
Brown Hand lurks in the darkness. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
As a seasoned wanderer, Brownhand knew he had to be careful to avoid the glow of the bright twin stars, hiding in the darkness of the lightless.
This time, the task is very well paid, as long as he can complete it well, he will not have to work again in the second half of the year.
This was the first time that the Brownhand had come to the southernmost part of this Bellabette, the edge of human civilization.
The places where he usually works are all prosperous areas close to other human kingdoms, and there are not many opportunities to work in such sparsely populated areas.
He was tasked with a dangerous reconnaissance mission by his employer.
He must infiltrate the area guarded by monsters and find the location of the treasure.
The goal is the vein of the magic crystal.
Even the brown hands who have experienced strong winds and waves do not dare to change color suddenly when they hear the news.
For no other reason, the value of the Magic Crystallization Vein is too great.
Not only can it be made into a large number of crystalline magic tools, but for the power of the national level, this is a strategic resource that cannot be compared with other materials.
Brown Hand knew that this mission would not be simple, although it was only a reconnaissance mission, as long as a detailed topographic map was drawn, it would be able to make a difference, but the information given by the employer, the danger intuition of the wanderer was warning every minute, don't act carelessly.
None of the Magisters who manipulate monsters are easy to match, and there are painful powers to keep an eye on them, which will not be an easy task.
That's why the reward given is so high.
The Brown Hand tries to keep the mana as low as possible to avoid any magical reactions.
In this remote area, there should theoretically be no magic items to detect the reaction of the magician, and few of the magicians can sense it, but Brownhand is still cautious and does not move forward too hastily.
Brown Hand used his magical abilities to remove the smell and breath from his body.
In this moment, he became a veritable transparent person.
Even if you stand in front of the others, no one can see the brown hand.
The only thing to be careful about is that he can't get rid of the sound he makes, he has to slow down and move without making a sound.
Brownhand managed to avoid the black-robed guards on the periphery and entered the messy quarry.
Then, he saw the pale, four-armed monsters.
The monster in front of him made Brown Hand feel a trace of instinctive disgust, but he couldn't help but pay attention to the location of the monster, so he could only force himself to pay attention to the monster's every move.
Brown Hand picked up his hard-earned silent footwork and quietly avoided the monster's defensive net.
The monsters didn't find him, and so far, the mission has been a success.
Brown Hand roamed around softly in the rubble-strewn quarry without making the slightest sound, recording the situation in each place.
Then, after more than ten minutes of observation, he found the location of the target.
Brown Hand's eyes widened.
Seeing the pale yellow light emitted by the magic crystal, his heart beat faster when he was as calm as a brown hand.
The brown hand gently breathed and lowered the sound of his intense heartbeat.
He quickly recorded where the veins were mined.
If only I could get a little bit of a magic crystal...... The next second this thought came to him, Brown Hand bit his tongue fiercely.
A faint smell of blood spread in the mouth, and the sudden pain calmed the restless mind.
Definitely not greedy, Brown Hand knows quite well that wanderers must not be greedy, especially in the middle of tasks, and they need to restrain themselves.
Brown Hand looked away, no longer looking at the potholes in the veins.
The mission is largely completed, and now you only need to fill in the gaps on the map, and you can go back to the mission safely.
Leaving no trace of nostalgia, the brown hand turned and left the place where the magic crystals were mined.
Brownhand carefully avoided the monster's location, and after half an hour, he had completed the entire reconnaissance map.
The mana on his body had been almost exhausted, and if he stayed any longer, his magic ability would be lifted, and he knew it was time to leave.
Brown Hand followed the shortest path, successfully avoiding all the guards in its path, and out of the confines of the quarry.
He hadn't disarmed his magical powers, and he couldn't relax until he was in safety.
Suddenly, he felt the ground beneath his feet begin to shake violently.
The Brown Hand's sense of crisis as a wanderer made him jump to the side with all his might in the next moment.
Unable to maintain his magical abilities, he used his remaining magic power to strengthen his body and avoid a life-threatening crisis.
Beneath the ground, dirt and gravel flew and erupted with a loud bang.
"What!"
It was only after the brown hand rolled on the ground, away from the place where it had suddenly erupted, that he looked up and saw the reason.
"What is this!"
Under the blue light of the Atrion Twins, a huge flesh worm appeared on the ground.
It was a huge monster with a body thicker than that of an adult man, with a body length of more than ten meters.
Brownhand immediately understood that this was also the monster guarding the crystallized mines.
And, unfortunately, he was discovered.
The huge dark gray flesh worm has a hideous appearance, resembling a huge earthworm that has been magnified countless times, and its hard skin constantly secretes blue-green mucus.
The monster's body has no visible eyes, and at the very front of its head, there is only a vicious mouthpart with sharp teeth intertwined, which emits a disgusting stench.
Brown hands and feet were cold, and he found that he couldn't even raise his strength.
It had nothing to do with the remnants of magic on his body, when he saw such a thing, there was an invisible pressure exerting on his body, and eroding his spirit and will.
Don't look at this monster! Brown Hand instinctively sensed that it was the effect of the huge weight of flesh, but it would be even more stupid not to look at the dangerous monster.
Brown Hand wanted to run away immediately, and his strong will to survive allowed him to regain control of his stiff hands and feet.
However, the monster was already attacking faster than him.
Huge dark flesh worms emerged from under the ground, using their bodies as weapons and crushing the humans in front of them.
The fleshworm only needs to use its own body weight to squash the tiny human.
Touch!
The flesh worms slammed into the ground, pressing a deep pit into the ground, and at the same time stirring up a large amount of rubble and dust, turning the surrounding environment into a mess.
At the last moment, Brown Hand narrowly avoided the monster's mass attack, and the magic barrier on his body also resisted the indiscriminate flying rubble, barely injured.
However, after this moment, his magic power has begun to run low.
Brownhand did his best, using his magical ability to erase his figure.
The only thing he can do now is to believe that this ability, which has been with him for more than twenty years, can successfully avoid the pursuit of monsters.
Unable to lower his voice, the brown hand strode forward, trying his best to stay away from the danger behind him.
The flesh worm slowly erected itself from the ground, like a poisonous snake hunting, and then the monster opened its bloody mouth.
Humans can't escape the special perception that meat worms have, as long as they are still alive and alive, even if they are transparent, meat worms can sense it.
The fleshworm regained its strength a little, spitting the saliva from its mouth towards the fast-moving human.
The colorless, translucent slime sprayed at extremely fast speeds, then spread through mid-air, encompassing a vast area, simply encompassing all the fleeing ranges of the running humans.
With no way to escape, Brown Hand could only watch as the slime fell from the sky and covered his body.
He was crushed to the ground.
"Whew!"
The translucent mucus was very heavy, as if more than 100 kilograms of something was pressing on the body, and the brown hand struggled with all his might, but the body could not move half a minute.
The brown hand couldn't breathe the outside air, and the mucus surrounded his whole body, blocking everything outside.
"Don't! I'm ......"
He could only make a muffled voice, not even beg for mercy.
Then, in despair, he discovered that the magical barrier that protected him began to wear away.
The monster's slime, corrosive, is breaking down his last line of defense.
Brown Hand struggled incessantly in the pain of suffocation.
"Alright, let's get it done. ”
Brown Hand heard a young voice, but couldn't hear what the other was saying because of the mucus barrier.
In the next second, Brownhand knew nothing, and he lost all senses, including his own consciousness.
The huge flesh worm bit the entire human in front of him and swallowed it, ending his brief pain.
"The opponent is too weak to test the true power of the Macrophage Worm. ”
Lin Yuan, who had been watching things develop, felt a little regretful.
"But who sent this person? There are too many possibilities and it can be a headache. ”
The discovery of the magic crystalline vein, the news should have spread, and all parties are secretly starting to act, like this spy temptation, there will be an endless stream in the future.
Heras looked up at the giant worm monster, and she felt that the monster in front of her was a little different from the one she had created before.
"Well done, go back to the guards. Lin Yuan waved his hand at the Giant Devouring Worm.
The Macrophage Worm let out a slight call from its mouth, lowered its head in obedience, and then burrowed under the ground again, continuing the work it had been paid for by its master.
"This bug ......"
Heras, who saw the reaction of the worm monster, vaguely knew the difference.
“...... Does it have a certain intelligence?"
"That's right, it's about the same level as some pet dogs, three or four-year-olds, not very smart, but much smarter than ghouls. ”
Lin Yuan was very satisfied with the monster he had created this time.
"It's more troublesome, to create such a small bug, it takes more than fifty people to live sacrifices, and then it takes a lot of power to be able to create it, which is not a big drawback. ”
Of course, Herasi knew the process of the birth of the macrophage worm, and she was ordered to protect Lin Yuan all the time, and she saw almost everything the other party did.
"And the original version is not very easy to use.,The macrophage worm is a monster that is afraid of light.,So I've made some modifications.,So that this bug can be infested at any time.,But it brings the disadvantage of shrinking size.,The original giant phagous worm.,It should be a super-large monster with a length of hundreds of meters.,Can be used to attack cities and plunder land.,Sure enough, the adaptability rises.,Other places will decline.。 ”
"Is this why you've been killing and sacrificing people in those three cities for the past few days, in order to get new monsters...... Helath asked with a blank face.
"I didn't just execute others, those people were guilty of capital crimes, I just gave them the punishment they deserved, and made it convenient for myself. Lin Yuan said confidently.
"Under the deterrence of those undead, under the vigilance of the first day, how could there be thousands of people who don't know what to do," Heras's eyes were like mirrors, looking directly at Lin Yuan, "Lin Yuan, is it the result of your intentional or unintentional indulgence?"
"Well, I admit that I'm indeed fishing for law enforcement, but there's something wrong with such a simple fool. Lin Yuan smiled lightly and said irresponsibly.
“...... Lin Yuan, when will you start attacking the next city?"
"Huh, you're starting to get interested?"
Lin Yuan smiled with some comfort.
"Not yet, the next target is very strong, and it will probably take some time before we are fully prepared. ”
Lin Yuan stroked the flesh and blood magic guide book that was still broken on the outside.
"We still need to wait, wait for the right time, wait for enough strength, that day will not be far away. ”
