Chapter 39: The Ancient Tree (4)
Suddenly, I felt dizzy and lay down involuntarily, gasping for air. Although it has not been a long time since I entered the tree cave, the psychological pressure brought by the darkness, the pervasive rancid stench and those dead insects have made me feel like I have run out of energy, and it is not until now that I have time to take a good breath, the hot air enters the lungs and constantly replaces the waste gas inside, the limbs feel powerless, and even the sensation of wounding the mouth cannot be solved.
Now I had time to take a good look at the surrounding environment, only to see that I was in a wide spherical space, there were two holes around it, I fell out of one of the holes, there were green balls of light floating in the air, shining the general outline of the surroundings, to my relief, there seemed to be no black hairy worms here, although the rancid smell was still thick, but at least there were no other living creatures except myself.
"That's right. I reluctantly raised my head to look at the hole I had rushed into.
"This is...... What's going on. I stared at the hole in amazement, only to see that in a short period of time, countless black insects were constantly squirming and wriggling at the hole, directly filling the hole, but the insects had no intention of coming in here at all, and occasionally one or two were pushed out of the hole and would crawl back in a hurry, which was really a sight that made people's hair tingle.
"Could it be that this is the so-called safe zone?" I thought about it, could it be that this is the magic gathering place of Lord Grass, so these insects are afraid of Lord Grass's magic and so on, so these insects are afraid of Lord Grass' magic and don't come in...... though it's not impossible, but with my luck, it's possible that such a good thing will happen?
"Rustle. At this moment, I heard a strange scratching sound, and the sound slowly grew louder.
I raised my vigilance and stood up, and for a moment the fatigue and pain all over my body returned, and I smiled bitterly, and even a goblin in this state could poke itself at any time.
At this time, a hairy insect was drilled out of the hole in the tree opposite of the place where he entered, or, to put it more accurately, a hairy insect larger than an adult cow.
"Just kidding......" I watched as the hole seemed to squeeze out a hairworm much larger than the opening, and the wriggling sawdust of the hairworm kept flying.
The entrance to the rear was blocked by a bunch of small hairy insects, and in front of it was a large black hairy insects, which turned out to be not because they didn't want to come in, but simply felt that they were stronger than themselves, and they didn't dare to go forward.
At the sound of the touch, the big hairy insect fell, and after a moment of wriggling, the hairy insect opened countless compound eyes and looked at me with red eyes.
"I thought it was a kind of skin perception, but it turned out to be an eye. I smiled wryly again, I thought that the eyes of such creatures that lived in the darkness should be degenerate, should I say that magical creatures can't be judged by common sense, and it is impossible for them to sneak by, this hairy worm has obviously noticed my presence.
I cautiously held the stub, lowered my body and moved to the side, and as I moved, the caterpillar also wriggled and changed direction, its eyes always fixed on my figure.
"Not good. Suddenly, the hairy insect opened its mouth and sprayed an inexplicable black liquid, forming a jet of water.
"Wind shield. I quickly formed a shield of squeezes, and the black juice shot onto the shield and quickly split into two sides.
"Oops. The black liquid stained with the shield began to erode my shield with astonishing speed, a pale green glow that was visibly dim to the naked eye.
"Wind walk. Before the shield was gone, I jumped up the stairs made of the wind, black liquid shooting from under my feet.
"It hurts. The right foot seemed to be sprayed with a few drops of black liquid, and in an instant the entire foot seemed to be pierced by a pickle.
I sat down on the ground, and a drop of fluid was sprayed on my right calf, and in a short period of time it had already pierced through the flesh and was visible to the bone.
Before he could deal with the wound, he saw the hairy insect shrink up in a familiar posture.
"Storm Technique!" I hurriedly gathered my mana, and it was as if my mental power was almost exhausted, and it was as if it had been squeezed dry, and my brain was already beginning to feel a pang.
I saw the black hairworm flying like a cannonball, and I was dragged by the wind in an unnatural posture to move my body sideways, and I opened the hairworm's attack, only to see the hairy worm hit the wall of the tree hard, making a shocking collision sound.
"Chance!" Ignoring the pain on my body, I pulled out the wretched carving from my bosom and injected the last trace of magic.
A human-sized green giant wolf quickly transformed, I reluctantly climbed onto his back, only to feel a warm temperature, and even I vaguely felt the beating of my heart, I didn't expect that magic could be conceived to such an extent, it is said that this is borrowed from the divine power of the goddess of nature, Freya, to infuse the power of faith in the statue, in fact, it is the same as the holy light of the goddess of light, Gai Ya.
"Take me to the entrance of the cave. I hurriedly shouted at the wolf.
I saw that the green wolf actually turned his head, and there was a slight disdain and dislike in his eyes, as if he was dissatisfied with the dirty and rancid humanoid body.
"Big brother, don't make a fuss......" I looked at the eyes of the young wolf and felt uneasy in my heart, that Druiy looked kind and kind, he shouldn't have fooled himself.
Fortunately, the green wolf just looked back for a moment, and then flew away at great speed.
At this time, the black hairy insect also came back to its senses, and looked in my direction and sprayed a black jet of water.
"Hurry up. I shouted.
The green wolf heard my shout, and with a quick twist of his body he dodged the water column, and then jumped into the hole in the tree where the big hairy worm had entered.
"Thank you, come back. I jumped in and beckoned to the wolf.
The green wolf just exhaled, glanced at me, shook his head and went directly to the big hairy beetle, only to see the green wolf on the back of the hairy beetle, and his claws grabbed into the flesh of the hairy beetle, and the black juice flowed out. The hairy worm seemed to feel the pain, and kept writhing like a wild bull, trying to throw off the green wolf, but the green wolf still clung to it, and bit off a piece of the hairy worm with its teeth from time to time, but it was not like the feeling of a really injured hairy worm, even if it added its own spirit short sword, it should be useless.
I took one last look at the wolf and crawled forward on my hands and feet.
After crawling for a while, the roar of the green wolf and the impact of the hairy worm gradually faded away.
"Smack!" I felt something in my arms seem to be shattered, and I pulled out the wolf statue, only to see a crack in the wolf's body, and the magic inside was completely overflowing.
"Thank you. I leaned my head against the statue and thanked him, and then cherished the wolf statue in my bag.
But at this moment, the rustling sound of a crawling insect was heard again.
"Don't play with me like that. 」
I looked ahead, and a huge hairy insect was staring at me, and my whole body was crumbled into the hole of the tree, and there was not a single gap, which reminded me of the food of my past life.
"Calm down......" I single-handedly tried to calm the ambushed worm, and my body slowly retreated.
I saw that the hairy insect completely ignored my actions and quickly crawled forward.
"Damn, come and hurt each other. I stabbed one of the compound eyes with my elven dagger, and the caterpillar let out a grief, and then it opened its jagged mouth.
It bit my throat hard.
