"Protect the crossbowman, old cat, rotten teeth, go clean up the still alive cultists!Joe, distract that thing!" In the attic, the battle intensified. With Jung's squad at war with the cultists lurking there, the terrifyingly quiet scene has long since vanished.

In its place, there was a large amount of blood and other strange and unpleasant smells in the air. The smell of blood, mostly from the cracked bodies of pagans. And the stench mixed with rancidity, which makes it impossible to imagine a suitable metaphor, comes from the severed limbs of severed worms. God knows what exactly those monsters hold in their bodies.

As the backbone of the squad, the vampire's orders were quickly carried out. Kelas, who had been leaning against Atta as a guerrilla, glanced at the former, and swung the dagger in his hand instead of the Delphinium twice at the infidels who were fighting with him, and even deliberately collided with the sacrificial dagger in his hand.

But when the cultists withdrew their numb hands, and tried to find the cat goblin, it was already difficult to find. The last thing he saw was an arrow that flashed with silver light, quickly zooming in on his field of vision. With fewer enemies around her, Atta had more room to move, and she took a step back and performed a series of dazzling movements before her opponent could come to her senses, the magic sword in her hand sweeping over her enemy's knees.

The cultists who had fought the female swordsman fell to their knees, and Frakrag pointed at his throat, the magic of the blade that kept him unable to act until he answered Atta's question. As the sword wielder, Atta had to ask that question, because the control of the magic sword was a two-way street, and while she controlled the opponent's right to act, due to the change in the actions of the cat fairy and the rotten fang, some hesitant cultists were approaching her.

"What are you keeping here?" Although the question was not really important at all, she just asked what the other person's name was, and it didn't matter if it was a man or a woman, because the ability of the oath breaker was only buying time for Alice in the rear. But in the midst of such chaos, it is precious to have this moment of relative calm.

It only happens for a brief moment when one of the two sides suddenly adjusts its strategy and the other has not had time to react. After that, if you want to dig out some news from these people, I'm afraid you can only wait until the battle is in the late stage, and the two sides have won and lost, and grab one or two prisoners who still have a breath before doing it.

"He is, the left hand of great life, the hand that brings justice and judgment, and you impure ones will be judged by him!" The swordswoman got the answer and took a step back diagonally, the silver crossbow grazing her hand with a vicious wind, piercing the eyebrows of her enemies.

The reason why they had to wait for Alice's arrows to deliver the fatal blow was because during the battle they found that the worms in the bodies of the infidels killed by the silver crossbow required more energy to control the bodies of the dead. There may be two reasons for this, either the exorcism effect of the silver crossbow is also effective against the worms in the abdomen, or the worms are not easy to take over when the corpse does not have a large wound.

This is not a difficult thing to understand, for a long time, the modification of the host by the worms in the abdomen is actually very mild, and the evidence is that the people who are parasitized by them are often unaware of the changes in their bodies, and there are no labor pains or other adverse reactions.

This means that the parasite will not use hard or destructive methods to modify the host in this process, and when their host dies, the parasite will rush out of the body along the damaged part of the human body and harden rapidly in the air, thereby supporting the body's movements. As for the human body, which is sniped with precision by a crossbow arrow, there is no suitable channel for the parasite to be exposed to the air, so it takes more time to complete the metamorphosis.

Of course, these are not the few people who are in the middle of the battle will think about it, they just need to know that the time it will take for those killed by the silver arrow to turn into worm monsters will be shortened.

However, there is still a question here, since the infidels become more difficult monsters when they die, why did Jung's order be to give priority to the two more mobile warriors to deal with the living cultists instead of trying to prolong their lives to control the number of worms? This is also the lesson learned during the battle, that is, the longer the infidels survive, the more difficult the worms that come out of their bodies after they are killed.

The bugs that grew out of the two unlucky eggs who were first beheaded by the female swordsman, although they looked disgusting, only to find out after the actual fight that they were not difficult to deal with, and they were really just large worms. But as the battle progressed, what grew out of the pagan cavities became tricky.

At first, it only spewed acid and foul-smelling gases, then there were individuals who could spray bone flying needles and spit out long, sticky tongues like frogs, and then the last few subjects who had been killed had become completely unable to be cut off by iron tools at once. Obviously, this is the worms using the human resources they occupy to quickly specialize themselves to enhance their combat power.

Actually, for example, the caterpillar turning into a butterfly is specializing itself in a cocoon in a similar way, and the process is similar to being reborn in a human being. It's just that the metamorphosis of the caterpillar follows the internal physiological rules, whether the caterpillar needs it or not, it can only become a butterfly of a specific species, and it cannot adjust the metamorphosis in the process.

This is not the case with abdominal worms, which collect information about the current environment through the parasitic human body, and quickly metamorphose with a purpose after thinking, so as to achieve a state that is more suitable for combat. In other words, these creatures can hardly be called the same kind of creatures, they are different.

In fact, this phenomenon has been manifested in the grassland since the earliest days, compared to the snake people under the command of the Mother of the Crypt, the offspring born by the worm evil god show commonality in the parasitic and hidden stages, once they are ready to leave the host and walk in the world in their own form, then they will show a completely different appearance.

It's as if the worm heirs are using themselves as carriers to quickly show the evolution of various creatures in the material world, and the most amazing thing is that their evolution is fast and endless. Bugs that have been cut off in half but have not been pulled out of the human thermobed will return to the battlefield in a more combat-friendly appearance after a while. According to this logic, as long as these guys are given a non-lethal stimulus and enough evolutionary nutrients every time, they can quickly become top-level all-round predators above all living things in a short period of time.

At the thought of this possibility, Jung felt that his head was getting bigger, and that the increase in the course of his life had not confronted such a pressing problem in a long time. Every second that goes on means that the enemy is getting more comfortable with the way they fight. And as the master of the river, the uncrowned king of the underground, he must also consider the risk of these monsters escaping from this house.

This squad was a warrior he had carefully gathered, and this was not the case in the streets outside, and those ordinary people who hurriedly defended themselves and warriors who were underskilled and equipped with martial arts and equipment would only become nourishment for the evolution of worms. None of these things can be let go.

And in addition to the worms in the belly, there is an even bigger problem waiting for them to solve here. While it or it does not now show a high desire to fight, it is inevitable that it will be countered if it wants to destroy this being.

The one who the cultists called the left hand of the great being, the one who was kept here, left the delphinium sword from the hands of the cat goblins. It is the biggest variable and the key in this battle.
