Chapter 175: Against Monsters

"All the soldiers who use the automatic mining machine, all gather to me!" The black wolf gave an order to the goblins in front of her, and as soon as her order was given, more than a dozen goblins with mining machines walked out of the team and gathered near the black wolf.

Not surprisingly, the dozen or so goblins are all clerics, as only clerics use autominers.

Unsure of what kind of enemy she would face in the future, Black Wolf decided to gather all her superior forces, and she would personally command this miner squad to carry out a focused attack on the enemy.

At the back of the formation, the white wolf was holding a pen and paper, carefully sensing the flow of energy between the runes, a phenomenon that only occurs when the purple light is on.

His previous conjecture was not wrong, the functional relationship of the curse rune could indeed be directly transplanted to the six-pointed star rune, they were all space-time runes.

It had only been about thirty minutes, and the white wolf had already successfully deciphered a space-time rune, and in another three hours or so, he would be able to parse the entire rune array.

In the six-pointed star rune array, gray mist was still being spewed out, and at the same time, it was also devouring the elemental energy of this world, and the white wolf could vaguely feel that the elemental energy nearby was weakening.

The black wolf commanded a thousand goblin soldiers, and set up a formation five hundred meters away from the gray fog, with the current strength, she could not surround the entire gray fog, so she could only rely on the terrain to hold the key points, but even if she did, a thousand people would be a little insufficient.

The Black Wolf brought in some Earth Dragons from underground, and let the goblins using the automatic miners ride on them, so that a mobile force of more than a dozen people can be formed in time, which can support important areas of the battlefield in time.

Unlike horses, the Earth Dragons have short legs and broad, flat backs, which goblin riders must lie on when riding.

Compared with horses, the Earth Walking Dragon has advantages and disadvantages, its disadvantage lies in speed, even the best Earth Walking Dragon, running at the fastest speed, the speed is not as fast as ordinary horses running at half the normal speed, the Earth Walking Dragon has long adapted to underground life, and also shows fear and discomfort for the sunlight on the surface, which makes their already slow speed drop a lot again.

The advantage of the earthly dragons is that due to their long-term life in the complex underground world, they have shown a strong adaptability to the rugged terrain, even slopes with a slope of 90 degrees and strange rocky peaks, they can easily climb the slopes, which horses can't do.

The average Earth Dragon has some thick spikes on its back, which cannot be ridden unless the rider is not afraid of being stabbed into a sugar gourd by the spikes, which are supposed to be used by the White Wolf to defend against attacks from behind, and must be treated with special treatment if you want to ride them.

The so-called special treatment is actually to grind these spikes and cut them off, those spikes that hinder the rider's riding will be sawed off, and those that are suitable for handles and can improve the stability of the rider will be smoothed and tied with ropes, and ordinary goblins only need to hook these handles, so they don't have to worry about being thrown off when the Earth Dragons are moving.

In fact, these handles have the same function as the saddle, so to speak, creatures like the Earth Walking Dragon, are naturally suitable for riding and archery tactics, as long as the rider hooks the back handle with both feet, he can keep his hands free to shoot arrows while maintaining stability, the problem is that their speed is too slow.

Even with all the restrictions, this team of underground dragoons was temporarily formed, and the black wolf had originally planned to let these cavalry carry out ground reconnaissance missions, but he didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.

The black wolf's previous judgment was correct, and while she was directing the formation, something strange was slowly happening in the gray mist in front of her.

Just when she took the dagger before, she found that the land under the dagger had turned dark purple, and all the plants growing on the land had died. If someone were next to the land right now, they could see that the dark purple earth was actually wriggling, and an evil aura was spreading into the air.

The purple tentacles pierced through the land, stretched into the air, and continued to extend outward, and there were more than one, two, three, and more, dozens of tentacles in total.

The tentacles were covered in pitch-black slime and were dancing around in the air, as if confirming something.

"Hiss" These tentacles determined something, and made a sound similar to that of a snake, and then they cracked from the top, revealing sharp teeth where they were cracked, and these dozens of tentacles turned into dozens of wriggling mouths in an instant.

The tentacles' mouths grew large and stretched out in dozens of different directions, and then they began to inhale slowly, and the gray mist that made the black and white wolves feel extremely uncomfortable was slowly inhaled into their mouths.

If you look at it from the goblins' point of view, you can see that the fog is gradually fading, and the black wolf has also noticed this phenomenon, she orders all the members to be on guard, the goblin archers bend their bows and arrows, and the cavalry also raises the automatic mining machines.

The mist is not infinite, it is quickly sucked dry, and those tentacles appear in front of everyone's eyes, and the goblins see these tentacles, and the pressure is actually much less, because the tentacles look like underground worms, and underground worms are a very delicious food for them.

But then things changed, and the tentacles clung to the ground and began to pull themselves upward, and beneath them, something more curious slowly twisted out of the soil.

It was a brain-like orb, with a pitted surface and purple flesh underneath it, wriggling forward in a manner peculiar to soft-bodied creatures, squirming toward the goblins, to be exact.

"That's a lot of food" The purple monster let out a low roar, and the black wolf probably understood its meaning through the wind whisper, this curious monster seemed to be using all the goblins for food.

"Release the arrow!" With the black wolf's order, hundreds of iron arrows shot at the monster from different directions, the monster realized the danger, and roared, while squirting out black slime from the tentacles, these disgusting slime can melt the iron arrows in an instant, which led to the first round of bows and arrows caused extremely limited damage, and finally only a small number of iron arrows passed through the barrier of the slime and pierced into the monster's body.
