The bonfire, which had been burning all night, gradually went out, leaving behind piles of reddish ashes that still emitted the last of the heat.

Tony, who was on his last shift, walked back from outside the camp, sat down beside a pile of ashes in the middle, and put the cloak that had slipped off Arthur's body as he slept soundly.

The afterglow from the ash pile quickly made people feel sleepy, and Tony couldn't help but yawn as he fought to keep his eyelids from closing completely.

"Don't sleep, you must not sleep, the boss will kill you if he finds out!"

"Squint for a while, just a while, the sky will soon be bright, and there will be no danger. ”

The two thoughts kept fighting back and forth in Tony's mind, but the two eyelids gradually closed together in the fight.

As if half-asleep, a scream suddenly sounded. Tony jumped up from the ground with a spirit.

The scream in the night was so abrupt that not only did Tony wake up, but Keynes, Adeline, and the others also got up from the ground almost at the same time, and all the mercenaries got up.

"What's the noise?" Keynes asked Tony eagerly.

"It looks like it's outside the camp. Tony, who had fully recovered his senses, tried to remember the direction from which the screams came, "Oh no, it's our outer guard!" Tony's face changed and he rushed out of the camp first.

"Everyone, protect the cargo!" Keynes commanded, following Tony and rushing out.

Arthur also got up from the ground, hesitated a little, and rushed out of the camp.

Tony and Cairns stopped in front of a low bush about seventy or eighty meters outside the camp. At the foot was a small pit that had sunken slightly, and a steel crossbow was thrown on the ground beside it, but the mercenary in charge of the guard was nowhere to be seen.

"It's Nathaniel, he's in charge of the last shift at this point. Tony said with a frown.

"Did a man or a monster do it?"

"It should be a demonic beast, the attack was launched from the ground, and it seems to swallow the whole person in one gulp. Angus crouched down and touched the soft gravel at the edge of the pit and said thoughtfully.

"Get out of the way!" Keynes let out of the air with a snort, his two-handed greatsword spinning and blasting towards the ground.

The rapid rotation of the sword body drove the fighting qi to rotate rapidly, like a wind dragon entering the sea and drilling towards the dirt pit on the ground.

The all-out blow of the eighth-level battle school powerhouse was naturally not trivial, accompanied by a loud bang, and gravel and dirt flew wildly.

When the earth fell, a large pit more than two meters deep was blasted out of the ground, and in the middle of the pit a bucket-thick, dark and bottomless hole was exposed.

"What kind of monster did this leave behind, a rock python or a pangolin?" Keynes asked, pointing to the entrance of the cave.

"Not like that. Angus shook his head slightly.

At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation in the camp.

"It's not good, turn the tiger away from the mountain!" almost everyone came up with the same thought, and turned back into the camp.

Dozens of mercenaries in the camp were forming a circle, and several mercenaries close to the inner circle were desperately hitting the ground with their swords.

"What's the situation?"

Seeing that the regiment commander came back, the mercenaries in the outer circle automatically made a gap, and several mercenaries in the inner circle still did not stop attacking, they were hitting or digging the same pit as outside the camp.

"A monster suddenly came out of the ground, swallowed one of our brothers, and then drilled back in. A mercenary on the side hurriedly reported.

"Did anyone see what the attacking beast looked like?" Angus asked, looking around.

"I vaguely saw that it was a monster with a long body. ”

"Its head is as big as its body. ”

"The monster's mouth was long on the top of its head, and it opened and the whole head was cracked. ”

Several mercenaries who saw the situation at that time described it babblingly.

"It's like a big earthworm. A mercenary added on the side.

"No, it's a Demon Eater!" Angus's face changed suddenly.

As a hunter, Angus knew the Demon Eater the most about the magical beast. They are a third-level earth-based demonic beast that lives underground, and their appearance is like an earthworm that has been magnified countless times. Demon Eaters have no head or eyes, but are focused on the heart in the middle of their body, and at both ends of their bodies are their prey-devouring mouthparts, which can instantly devour any living creature as long as their mouthparts can accommodate them. This is a magical beast that has little intelligence and hunts almost instinctively.

"No way, I've checked it before, this is definitely not the territory of the Demon Eater. Tony immediately questioned.

Demon Eater is a kind of demonic beast that lives in groups and has a strong sense of territory, as long as a Demon Eater is found, then hundreds or even thousands of Demon Eaters will be found within a radius of more than ten miles or even hundreds of miles, and the territory they hunt for is the forbidden area of life.

"No, Tony, you overlooked that the territory of the Devourers also moves, moving to the next when they can't get enough food in one place. The Demon Eater does not move very fast underground, and its attacks start at dawn, indicating that their territory has just moved over or is still looking for a new territory. Keynes said with a frown.

Just as a few people were talking, the screams rang out again.

Near the edge of the camp, a cavity appeared in the ground without warning, and a giant gray worm burst out of the ground with lightning speed, emitting a huge suction force from the large mouth that had cracked on its head.

One of the mercenaries closest to the entrance of the cave was instantly pulled by this suction, and before he could let out a scream, he was swallowed by the Demon Eater.

It all happened almost in the flash of lightning, and when everyone turned their heads at the scream, the Demon Eater dragged the mercenary who was still half exposed, and was burrowing into the hole.

The nearby mercenaries watched but didn't have time to rescue.

A flash of white light flickered, and the unsheathed greatsword in Keynes's hand flew out.

A wonderful arc slashed across the ground at the entrance of the cave, a splash of yellow-brown blood, and the upper half of the devourer's body was left on the ground on its stomach, and the other half fell back into the hole.

Several mercenaries who were close quickly rushed over, and with great effort with the swords in their hands, they sliced open the body of the Demon Eater and ripped out the mercenaries who had just been devoured.

There was only a moment's delay between being swallowed and being rescued, but the mercenary was no longer breathing. The bones of the mercenary's body were squeezed and deformed by the abdominal cavity of the Demon Eater, and the skin exposed outside the leather armor had been corroded by the body fluids of the Demon Eater to the point that the flesh and blood were blurred and miserable, and even the mercenary who was used to seeing death could not bear to look at it anymore, and turned his head with tears in his eyes.

This is the terrifying thing about the third-level demonic beast of the Demon Eater, the sudden attack from the underground, the terrifying devouring ability, the Terran warriors and magicians of the same level or even one or two levels higher are its prey! And this kind of attack is impossible to prevent, as long as it does not show its head underground, except for the earth magician, no one can do anything about it!

The Demon Eater's prey territory is a death trap!

"Evacuate, evacuate immediately!" Keynes almost shouted......
