Gran Town, a town dedicated to the cultivation of maran grass.

Maran grass is a crop specially used for weaving, and they produce maran wadding that is soft and light, which is loved by people.

Among the nearby towns, Glen Town is also one of the most affluent towns and is often rated as a model town. Three months ago, there was a grand feast of maran grass in the small town of Gran. The Temple of the Covering Earth also sent people to participate.

But a month ago, the town of Gran suddenly cut off contact with the Temple of the Earth, not only did it cut off from the Temple, but even all the merchants who went to the town of Gran disappeared from the world, and after entering the town, they never came out.

There is a mutant infection in the small town of Gran.

Only one militiaman from a nearby town risked his life to investigate. He crawled back with a. Before he fell unconscious, he told the tragedy that befell the small town of Gran.

"Why?"

When people talk about the small town of Gran, they always look up and ask why?

Why did the town suddenly become a dead town, why did no one survive in the town, and why did the mutation infection only happen in the town?

Why?

This mutation infection has become a source of concern for the surrounding towns.

So far, there have been no strange monsters in the town. It sits quietly on a small hill, silently bearing the spread of infection. But the surrounding residents live in fear every day after being infected in the small town of Gran.

"Vice Captain, can we really purify the entire Grand Town?" Huang Kai swallowed.

Standing at the foot of the hill, they looked up at the small town of Gran on the hill, which seemed to them the size of a grain of sesame seed. They were still thirty kilometers away from the town, but Huang Kai could already feel the cold dead silence coming from the town. Every time he took a step forward, Huang Kai felt this cold sense of death invade his bone marrow more and more.

"That's what we temple warriors do!" Huang Gao said. He patted his chest, very confident.

"Expelling eye worms and purifying infections is the main business of the temple warriors!"

Lin Ye looked at the small town of Gran in the distance, and he vaguely felt that there was some ominous omen.

The crowd that came to the foot of the mountain was not only Lin Ye, Huang Gao, Huang Kai and Xia Gwa, but also more than 50 militiamen from neighboring towns. As soon as they heard that the Temple of the Earth had sent someone over, they immediately formed a temporary team to assist the temple warriors.

The leader of the militia was named Zhou Li, who was once a member of the temple, and after the death of the master he served, he returned to his hometown and became a militia captain.

Zhou Li held a steel fork in his hand, and his eyes were firm.

These teams that were selected to assist the temple warriors were all very lucky, and they all had corresponding realizations in their hearts.

The wide road ahead has been completely obscured by a mess of overgrown bushes. Huang Kai cut off the bushes one by one, holding a scimitar in his hand, the scimitar was on both sides, the front was a scimitar, and the reverse was like a sickle for harvesting wheat.

The ground beneath his feet became extremely soft, like stepping on the stomach pouch of some huge creature.

Although Huang Kai used to be a militia captain, his legs trembled slightly after seeing this unbelievable scene. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued on.

The team behind him had become panicked. One of the soldiers' feet became limp, and he fell to his knees.

A strange black shadow suddenly burst out from behind the soldier and bit down on the soldier's head in one bite.

By the time everyone reacted, the black shadow had already burrowed back into the soil with the soldier's head.

What a thing!

One of the soldiers behind him could see clearly, and he held out his finger to point to the hole where the black shadow had disappeared, and screamed in fear.

"Yes!

Lin Ye immediately asked the system: "System, what is the black nematode?"

"Black nematodes are a kind of scavenging insects that lived in the Cretaceous era, but some black nematodes will actively hunt live animals after mutation. The system said: "The black nematode is not a sapient organism, so the black nematode that the host just saw is an insect native to this land." ”

"Calm down!" Huang Gao shouted, "This is just a strange beast, and we are far from the town of Gran." ”

Squatting down, Shagwa took out a pillar of candle from behind his back and lit it.

The candle wafted out a particularly enticing fragrance, and the fragrance was so fragrant that even the soil could not stop the fragrance from penetrating.

The black nematode, which had just burrowed into the ground, suddenly emerged from the ground and rushed headlong towards the candle in the palm of Shagwa's hand. However, the soldiers had been waiting for a long time, and Zhou Li and the other five soldiers projected the steel fork in their hands and inserted it into the body of the black nematode impartially.

"Hiss!" the black nematode struggled for a while before dying. A dark green liquid flowed from its wounds, seeping into the soil.

"Shagwa, this thing in your hand really works!" Huang Kai exclaimed excitedly, like a child who had discovered a new world.

Shagwa smiled faintly and said, "These are all necessary items for being an eyeworm hunter. ”

Euglena hunters also need to protect themselves when hunting euglena insects. In the dangerous jungle, it is not only the eyeworms that threaten the hunters, but also the exotic beasts and insects that live in the vast land. Several of these extremely dangerous creatures have been featured in the Dangerous Creatures Handbook that has been circulated in the hands of hunters. Black nematodes are one of them.

Euglena hunters prepare a special insect scent that is able to attract most carnivorous animals. And the black nematode can't resist the lure of insect scent.

"We need to be careful, I don't want to see us lose half of our men before we reach Gran. Huang Gao said with a sigh.

The crowd buried the dead soldiers.

Lin Ye was the last to leave, and he walked up to the dead black nematode and found that the long black nematode looked very similar to the black ring worm he had seen.

Melanonematode is supposed to be another mutated version of the black-ringed worm. Instead of becoming intelligent creatures like the Black-Ringed Worm, the black nematode continued to strengthen its own flesh and gained more powerful power.

Lin Ye's eyes lit up, and he saw that there was something very strange-looking among the black nematode's hideous mouthparts.

Lin Ye narrowed his eyes and leaned closer.

A miniature eyeball was rooted in the roof of the black nematode's jaw, and its eyes widened and it stared at Lin Ye.

The small eyeball is surrounded by its growing black roots, which overlap perfectly with the skin of the black nematode.

Lin Ye stretched out his finger. He lit a small cluster of flames and popped his eyeballs.

The carcass of the black nematode shook violently, then fell silent. Lin Ye used flames to turn the carcass of the black nematode into ashes.

It's still ten kilometers from the small town of Gran, but infected beasts have already appeared.

As the group continued to move forward, some of the soldiers lowered their heads and vomited profusely. The vomiting soldiers looked up, their complexion turning from ruddy to grayish-black. Their movements became stiffer and stiffer. Some of the soldiers' legs suddenly went numb, and they fell unconscious on the side of the road, and no matter what Zhou Li tried, he couldn't revive them.

Seeing this, Lin Ye sighed lightly. He crouched down and put his hand on the chest of the unconscious soldiers. He urged the flames to enter the unconscious soldier's body, and in less than a minute, he completely cleared the soldier's body of the mutant infection.

The unconscious soldiers opened their eyes, and they felt that they had been dreaming for a long time, but just as they were about to be pulled into the eternal dream, a warm flame pulled them back.

Everyone was surprised by the methods Lin Ye used.

"It's amazing, is this the power of the fire-changing breathing method? it can actually purify the infection in the soldier's body!" Huang Gao exclaimed.

With Lin Ye's help, the group managed to reach the small town of Grand after losing five soldiers.

The gates of the town were locked, and there were two bloody handprints stained with blood on the door. The blood trailed all the way from the gate to the ground.

There was a pool of blood on the ground, and this pool of blood was constantly bubbling like boiling water.

"Remember, we must not disperse!" Huang Gao ordered the three temple warriors to follow him. He stepped over the puddle of blood beneath his feet and pushed open the door.

After pushing open the door, a strong smell of corpses came to his face.

The small town is more than three times the size of Jodo.

A wobbly mutant villager walked up the streets of the town, his right hand turned into a tentacle of pus, and his head tilted to the left. The knee of his left leg was snapped out, but he was still using his left leg to support his weight, as if it was completely unaffected by the injury to his left leg.

Huang Gao raised his scimitar and slashed the neck of the mutant villager in one fell swoop. The mutant villager was decapitated and turned into a headless corpse, which staggered for a while before falling to the ground. The pustule on his right hand immediately burst open, and a large amount of fishy black liquid burst out, staining the ground pitch black.

Huang Gao turned his head and said:

"Our goal is to decontaminate all the inhabitants of the town, and it is expected that the decontamination will take about two days, during which time we must unite and not leave the team easily. ”

The team quickly chose a double-storey house as their stronghold, and after clearing the house of three infected people, they built fortifications for the house.

The windows of the house were sealed in layers, and the doors were covered with layers of solid nail boards, and more than forty soldiers and four temple warriors lived on the second floor of the house, laying a layer of spiked traps on the first floor, while cutting the stairs to the second floor, making it almost difficult for the average infected person to reach the second floor.

The soldiers were tasked with searching and guarding the stronghold, and the mission of going out to clean up the town of Gran fell to the four Temple warriors.

"Fortunately, the degree of mutation infection this time is not beyond my imagination. Huang Gao said.

Standing on the roof of a private house, he said to the three Temple warriors behind him, "It's almost evening today, and our current mission is to clear the area around the stronghold of threatening infected. ”

Huang Gao was completely immersed in the task, and his every word was said with the most serious attitude.

"Lin Ye, if you can use flames, you will use flames to burn the corpses of the infected to avoid secondary infection. ”

"Shagwa, your items are useful for the entire mission, and you have a lot of combat experience, so it's up to you to help me deal with the Infected. ”

Shagwa nodded.

"What about me?" said Huang Kai excitedly.

Huang Gao turned his head: "You are the weakest temple warrior among us, you can follow behind me and learn from the experience." ”

Huang Kai's excited expression immediately drooped, and Huang Gao's words gave him a ruthless blow to his spirit.

There are a total of five houses around the base, four of which are ordinary houses and one is a luxury shop.

There is a warehouse at the rear of the store, where a large amount of maran floc is piled up.

Under Huang Gao's orders, the purification efficiency of the four temple warriors was increased to the maximum. After Huang Gao kicked open the door of the house, he immediately subdued the five infected people on the first floor. And Shagwa stayed behind Huang Gao to help Huang Gao resist a possible sneak attack from behind. After they killed the infected, Lin Ye came in and burned everything with flames. Sometimes, if the entire house was made of wood, Huang Gao would also directly order Lin Ye to set the entire house on fire.

Huang Kai watched silently behind them, and occasionally a few infected people escaped from the gap, and this is when Huang Kai came in handy. He laughed, picked up his greatsword and smashed the infected to pieces.

"This is too boring...... right" Huang Kai touched the sweat on his head and said.

Although the strength of these infected transformed by dragonmen far exceeds that of ordinary people, for a temple warrior, the strength of an infected person is less than one-third of that of a new temple warrior. Even if ten infected people came at the same time, Huang Kai alone could easily deal with it.

The four of them quickly purified four houses, leaving a store around the stronghold. The shop was four times the size of the house purified by the previous four Temple warriors, and there was a huge warehouse in the back.

Huang Gao led the three of them into the store.

At this time, the sun in the sky has gradually set, the sun has become dim, and it only takes another half an hour for the sky to turn black.

"Wow, it's so dark here!" Huang Kai squinted, but he couldn't see what was in the store.

The windows of the store had been boarded up, and there seemed to be survivors inside, but in the course of a month, I am afraid that most of the survivors, if any, have been transformed into infected.

The first floor of the store has nothing but a clutter of tables, chairs and counters. Behind the door they kicked open was a string of tables that were used to block the door. After the door was pushed open, the tables collapsed and collapsed.

The first layer is security.

The shop was a little too quiet.

Huang Gao raised his feet and walked to the second floor.

"Be careful, the quieter the place, the more danger it is likely to arise. Huang Gao Gao said.
