Chapter 20: The Beheading Begins
Anyone in the mercenary world who knows Darke knows that his Nightmare Beast is a mount given by the Goddess of the Night, and Dark, who rides on the Nightmare Beast, is like a fierce beast with fangs, full of aggression all over his body.
The holy beast under the night sky is almost free from the shackles of gravity, although it cannot fly, as long as it has a foothold, it can gallop in any environment, treetops, water, walls, rooftops, and nightmare beasts are everywhere.
If it is an ordinary knight, the circular range with a radius of more than ten meters, and it is only half, is not enough for the mount to have enough room to maneuver. But the Nightmare Beast is different, for it, there is no such thing as a turning radius, and the Holy Beast, which ignores gravity and inertia, can move at high speed in any small space, and nothing can stop the Nightmare Beast's footsteps.
Neither do burrowing spiders.
Darkk rode the Nightmare Beast and circled around the entire team, running back and forth in a semicircular path, the bright red spear in his hand turned into a bloody shadow in the sky, and he could not see the path of the spear, not even the body of the spear, only the bright red shadows layered on top of each other to form a curtain of light.
Bang, the merciless iron hooves fell to the ground, the hideous head of the little spider was trampled into a puddle of mud, and the eight sharp legs writhed desperately under the instinct of instinct, scraping deep marks on the ground.
The shadow of the spear swept through everything around it, and when the iron hooves were raised again, the nightmare beast turned into light, and wherever it passed, the carapace shattered, the spider's legs flew sideways, and the spiders' round tails were punctured by spears, bursting like water balloons, gray-green slurry splattered in all directions, and the stench of death spread through the secret room.
The knight and the spear quickly faded away, leaving only a hollow in the ground of a spider, filled with mangled corpses. The surrounding spiders had filled up in an instant, covering the remains of their kind, and when they moved away, the ground was empty, except for the juice, there was not even a residue left of the corpses, and the hungry little spiders could devour everything, and the corpses of the same kind would not be spared.
Before it could continue to rush forward, the Nightmare Beast had already turned back and bloodied the spider colony again.
"Ah", a low scream, was just halfway out when he was suppressed by the speaker.
Blood was pouring from the back of the shirtless Western Warrior, and half a spider was lying behind him. Defending for a long time is bound to lose, and focusing too much on the team's defense, his own defense has been negligent for a moment. A small spider accurately grasped the loophole and shot him in the back like an arrow from the wall, worthy of a Silver Terrace Demonic Beast, eight claws with finely serrated teeth, slicing through the skin behind Charles's back like a handsaw, deeply embedded in his tough muscles.
Although the tiger man Rudolph immediately made amends, waving his claws and directly tearing off more than half of the little spider's head, the little spider that lost his life was still like a hound biting its prey, clutching Charles's back and refusing to let go, until Rudolph helped tear off a few spider legs, and then pulled the body off Charles's back.
The injury was not too serious, but after all, the muscles were torn, and blood was gurgling out of the wound, and the heavy smell of blood overshadowed the stench emitted by the spiders, and even those little spiders seemed to be stimulated by the blood and became even more crazy.
"If you don't die, get up and keep working. Taking over the command, Shul seemed to have changed as a person, his face was free of the previous banter and casualness, and became calm, as if he had completely abandoned his feelings, "The same goes for everyone else, is it useful to patronize him? Do your own work." ”
It seems to be impersonal, but everyone has seen that before the spider touched Charles's back, Shure's fingers had already pointed at him, and Rudolph had just helped tear the body off, and a faint light shrouded Charles, and the wound began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, without delaying even a second halfway.
"Haha, thanks. "The character of the people of the western wilderness is as simple and direct as the environment in which they have lived for generations, and there is no disguise at all. Although Shure was very harsh, the healing magic was already telling, and Charles energetically threw the scimitar in his hand again, laughing and giving Shul a thumbs up, "Happy cooperation, new captain." ”
Thank you, but I'm not happy at all. Shure secretly rolled his eyes, but he was really not happy, because he saw a tree beside him.
Well, a tree that moves.
Moria was still in her tree form, squirming very the stone floor, well, it was the roots that were wriggling, but fortunately the team was moving slowly, so she could keep up.
Of course, slower speed is not a problem, it is determined by personal characteristics, but if the tree is squirming and shaking its branches and leaves, and its mouth is constantly shouting cheers, it is a big problem.
But Shul can't say anything, because people aren't playing, well, more than just playing.
Moria is behind the mat, not the body, but with the roots of the tree. The long roots of the tree dragged far behind her, twisting like snakes, posing a great threat to the little spiders. After all, spiders do not eat plants, and they lose the temptation of food, so they are unwilling to step into the death trap casually.
Therefore, Moria not only completed the task perfectly, but also completed it with great ease, and even had the leisure to shoot a few acorns from the canopy from time to time, and the acorns smashed into the spider colony like cannonballs, without aiming at all, one shot could kill one.
In the spare time of cheering everyone or adding to the chaos, every time an acorn is ejaculated, a sentence is muttered in his mouth.
"One son, two sons, three sons......"
Can't it be a daughter?" Shul wanted to ask, but in order to maintain the image of the commander, he forcibly swallowed it back. For this guy's behavior of ignoring the occasion and entertaining himself, Xiuer can only pretend not to see it, just let her play by herself, who made her a forest spirit.
"Hey, Commander, it's coming soon. The nightmare beast made a sudden stop in front of Shur, and Duck stopped with his mount as if he had grown on horseback, and without even shaking at all, the blood-colored spear shook and turned into a rose again, and put it under its nose and sniffed it, and by the way, he threw a wink at each lady, and found that no one paid attention to him, so he had to say, "What next?"
"I don't know the principle of your rose, but I must remind you that you have a unique hobby of taking something in and out of the spider's body just now, and now that you have it on your nose. "Stupid man, how dare he casually flatter him, Shul smiled sneering at Duck, whose expression was like eating a fly, and then replied, "Gather with your back against the cobwebs, Yuri, change the magician, and burn all the cobwebs that block the road, leaving nothing behind." ”
"Miridy, let your children climb up to the rooftops and stay out of reach of our heads, regardless of sacrifice. ”
"No problem, it's dead. ”
"Mia, as soon as you reach your destination, you will immediately increase your magic and directly freeze the roof, even the spider sacs are sealed inside, and the group of little spiders will have so hard to tear the egg sacs, and if they are frozen into an ice lump outside, they will not be able to get out. ”
"What about range and thickness?"
"The range depends on the area occupied by the team after gathering, extending outward by one meter, the thicker the better, and the closer to the top of our heads, the better, can you do it?"
"Of course not, you have to stay where you are for at least three minutes, this is the western wilderness. Mia's face was expressionless, and she scolded in her heart, do you think I am a god? Icicles with a diameter of more than ten meters and a height of nearly twenty meters will come when they are said to come? Don't be kidding, do you think this is the southern beach? This is the arid west, and if you extract all the water elements from half of the magic tower, you may not be able to create such large icicles, "You don't want me to create elements out of thin air, that is the realm of gods." ”
"Well, the range can't be changed, the thickness is up to you. Shuer coughed dryly, the knowledge in the field of magic was really strange, well, it was strange, it was not at all friendly to people from another world like me.
"Fleison, Fleison. Without leaving Mia a chance to be sarcastic, Shul directly raised his voice and blocked back the elven mage's words, "I calculated that you should have arrived at the target location, and now you are hesitating to attack the position." ”
"For you, don't attack its waist, although it is indeed very fragile, but many spiders can continue to survive for a while even if their tails are gone, and some can grow back, and you cut off its waist, you can only provoke it to enter the war early, and it will not solve the current dilemma. ”
"Don't attack his head either, I don't know much about burrowing spiders, but creatures like them, the head is the key, so the most tightly protected, it's likely that your dagger won't be able to pierce at all. It's best if you can blind all of its eyes at the same time, if not, forget it. ”
"I suggest you attack its legs, as you said before. Despite the fact that their legs are harder than steel, they lack protection at the joints, making them ideal targets. Listen to my command to attack, preferably choose one leg on one side, as long as you can cut off two, then you don't have to worry about its threat. ”
"Dark, you cooperate. ”
"I understand. ”
"Whether you two succeed or not, once you attack, you must withdraw immediately. Fleison, especially you, don't try to hide from it, visually you can lurk in the shadows, but the body is still in this world, and you can't hide from its net. ”
"All ready? Melee clearance, Yuri, Mia, let's get started. ”
The energy of ice and fire began to stir at the same time, and the surrounding elements continued to fill the magic pool, and the roof above was quickly covered with a thick layer of ice, freezing the spider's egg sacs in the ice.
"The decapitation operation begins, Fleison, hands-on, Dark, keep up. ”
