Chapter 245: Demon Worm (II)
Chapter 245: Demon Worm (II)
"What shall we do?" said the demon Lola, who wielded a short spear, as she looked at the corpses on the ground. Asked with some disgust. Demons are only interested in these meats when they are hungry, just like humans, who wants to go out of the kitchen when they are not hungry?
"Let the demon worms block this place, the longer it takes, the more demon worms can fight. Let's go meet Master Neris. "Triss didn't bother to force the door, the buildings in this temple were too strong, and breaking down the door was hard work. Anyway, the people inside won't last long, and by the time they can't help but rush out, the number of demon insects will probably exceed 100,000.
100,000 demon insects are equivalent to thousands of elite soldiers of the human race. As long as a few of these demon insects are powerful, their combat power can be doubled.
The Demon Plane has a huge number of demon insects and a wide variety of species. A lot of demon worms are the favorite food of demons and little devils. However, what Neris summoned is a combat demon worm, and those weak little demons and envoys often drive this combat demon worm to protect themselves.
But at Trace's level, the help of the demon worm to him is almost non-existent.
"Huh, my lord has an order for us to ...... Haha, we're done!" Triss cheered. Nellis told them to do it as soon as possible and get rid of all the soldiers in the temple. Although there were still thousands of soldiers in the last hall, the entrance was blocked by demon insects. They didn't dare to come out, which was almost equivalent to solving the problem.
"Let's go, take 10,000 demon worms, and we'll solve the last trouble. "Tris doesn't want to delay, the aura in this temple makes him uncomfortable, so it's better to leave here with Lord Neris as soon as possible. The goddess Myers was very powerful at the beginning, and even if she left only a little coercion, it could make a guy like Triss who was close to the Great Demon very sensitive.
Of course, the drudgery of driving away demon insects was done by three relatively weak demons, and Tris walked in front alone, still a little unaccustomed to this woman's body.
You have to plead with Lord Neris as soon as possible to lift the ultimate transfiguration, otherwise it will be the most troublesome thing for you to get used to it after a long time. The demon plane also has metamorphoses, just in case......
Tris didn't dare to think about it anymore, he was most afraid that Neris was also a male demon. If that's the case, it's even more miserable to end up with yourself.
Most of the demon insects that can be summoned by Nellis are not very strong, and the three demons have been selected for a long time before they can make up the number of 10,000. Many demon insects were full and went to lay eggs, and some demon insects had their teeth in their mouthparts broken because they gnawed on the magic armor. Even with a strong vitality like a demon worm, it will take a few days to grow new teeth.
The slain demon worms became the best food for other demon worms, and the uninjured demon worms were carried by the four demons and went straight to the central hall.
The low-level demon insects have no discipline at all, Tracy refuses to do it, and the three demons are also very hard. to control these ten thousand demon insects. Soon, they came to the square outside the central temple.
The demon insects that the four magicians first discovered, although they were also fourth-level mages, they were obviously much more experienced in combat, and immediately some mages unfolded the scroll and released the fire wall technique to block the demonic insects attacking on the ground.
These two hundred soldiers were also the most elite around Bivano, and when they saw the demon insects, they didn't panic, but opened their crossbows to shoot the demon insects flying in the air.
In Titans, mages rarely use scrolls in battle, as scrolls are too expensive and the materials used to make them are hard to obtain. This is the opposite of Shreig, where mages don't use scrolls because scrolls are not good for understanding the details of battles. All scrolls are made just to increase control over the elements.
But the mages of Shreig Island have a large number of scrolls available, and it's not because they're poor.
The hand crossbow is a very cheap offensive weapon, characterized by a fast firing speed, the disadvantage is that the attack power is low, the accuracy is not enough, and the shooting distance does not match the name crossbow.
Almost all crossbows. Most of them have a range of more than two hundred meters, and only hand crossbows, like the weakest bows and arrows, have a killing distance of only a few tens of meters. However, a trained crossbowman has almost the same rate of fire as a bow and arrow, and consumes less physical strength.
Two hundred soldiers fired crossbows, and most of the demon insects flying in the sky were shot down at once. Although these demon insects that were shot down did not die, they also lost their combat effectiveness for the time being. However, the crossbow arrows shot into the body of the demon insect are corroded by the demon insect's **, and they cannot continue to be used when they are taken out.
Hundreds of demon insects still flew above the two hundred soldiers and pounced. These soldiers drew their short knives and slashed calmly. The mage is also blessing the soldiers with magic, so that the worms cannot gnaw at the armor and bodies of these soldiers.
Most of the demon insects that can fly through arrows and attack have hard carapaces, and steel knives slash at them until they spark. However, most of the two hundred soldiers were sword masters, and their strength was very great, even if the carapace was not chopped, those demon insects still fell to the ground, rolled up, and were stunned.
If one-on-one, each soldier can easily kill these magic worms. Demon insects also have weaknesses, and the weaknesses are obvious, their wings and eyes are extremely vulnerable parts.
Seeing the demon worm that had bypassed the wall of fire and the soldiers in a stalemate, Eva became impatient, and he bent down and picked up a tabletop-sized worm and threw it hard over the wall of fire made by the magician.
This desktop-sized demon insect attacks by spraying venom, and there are tiny bone needles in the venom. This demon insect also has no eyes. Attack by feeling the heat. In general, the temperature of the mouth and nose where the breath is breathed will be slightly higher, and it is also the place with the lowest defense. This demon worm was confused by the wall of fire, and could not find the enemy at all.
Eva threw it directly into the soldier's array, and the heavy carapace smashed directly into the head of a soldier. The soldier fainted, and the worm flipped over, unscathed. Its tentacles swayed from side to side, and it had already found its target.
Burst......
A mouthful of venom spat out, striking a soldier in the face. The soldier was blessed with stone skin, and within half an hour, his body was as strong as the strongest leather armor. The venom slid down his face, not hurting the soldier, but the bone needles pierced through the petrified skin and into the soldier's nose.
"Ahh The demon insect pounced, stabbed the wound in the soldier's face with a slender empty tube in its mouthparts, and continued to inject venom. The flesh and bones under the soldier's skin quickly decayed, becoming the demon's favorite food.
Seeing that it had an effect, Eva was overjoyed and continued to throw out the demon worms with demon-breaking abilities.
The three of them could kill the two hundred soldiers if they wanted, but the demon didn't like to face the magician directly. Those mages have been releasing scrolls. At the moment of life and death, no one easily uses the magic string.
"Lovely monsters!" sighed Tracey. The demon is basically not afraid of the toxins on the demon worm, so the demon worm's attack on the demon relies entirely on a mouthpiece, which is almost useless. The strength of the demon insect is not as great as that of the demon, even if it is surrounded by thousands of battle demon insects, the demon can escape without even getting hurt.
Moreover, the spiritual power of the demon insect is low, and it can be controlled with the demon's unique spiritual power. In fact, if a human mage can use mental shock frequently, he can also severely damage the demon worm. Even faster and more effective than the killing of demons.
However, humans are afraid of all kinds of toxins, and those soldiers do not have the blessing of magicians. It has long been poisoned.
Just as demons will lose some advantages in the face of demonic beasts in the human plane, humans are also tied up in the face of demonic insects.
"Agreed, these demon insects are very useful, but they are troublesome, and sooner or later they will die cleanly. The three demons chimed in. In the past few days, Tracey has packed them up and put them into order. Tris herself is being oppressed by Nellis, and of course she wants to take her anger out on her colleagues.
Demon insects have a short lifespan and eat a lot, and if there is no food, the bred demon insects will soon kill each other, or starve to death. Tracy also figured out the defect of the demon insect, in the human plane, there is no environment in the demon plane, the female worm's egg-laying ability will be lower and lower, and in the end, it will not be able to give birth to a new demon worm at all, and it will become extinct.
However, in terms of short-term combat, this thing is much more effective than skeletons. Each of the three not very powerful demons can control a few thousand demon insects, and a human mage of the same level can only control a few hundred skeletons.
"Hmph, you guys, work hard, if you delay Lord Neris......" Triss urged the three demons, the three demons were lazy and didn't want to join the battle.
Inside the central hall, Rex heard the sound of battle outside. The building of the temple is insulated from sound, which can also be controlled. The outside can't hear the inside, but the inside can hear the outside. She looked at Salin suspiciously, and Salin smiled at her, signaling that there was no problem.
Nellis was secretly surprised, according to her estimates, it would take about three or two months to summon those hundreds of demon insects to reproduce enough to pose a threat to Bivano's army, but she didn't expect that in less than a week, the demon insects had already multiplied so much, and the news from Trisi. Even Nellis couldn't believe it.
Tens of thousands of demon insects can destroy a human army of thousands of people. Although it has something to do with the combat environment, this is also outrageous, right?
Naris whispered in Sarin's ear, and Salin heard Naris's description and didn't quite believe the result. How could it be so quick to fight a protracted war with Bivano?
"Master, how can I cover up the matter of the demon worm?"
"Don't hide it, Rex will find out who you are sooner or later. The people she brought out this time, since they can be brought to the main temple, there is no need to doubt their loyalty. Except for this Biffano, no one will say anything about you outside. ”
"Do you want to kill him right away?"
"Stay a little longer, I want to ask a little about the Agareth family. We've gone a little too far this time, and if we don't get to know it, I'm afraid it's hard to go back to Metatrin City. ”
"Master, I was too anxious. Nellis looked down, and she realized that Saleen was right. For a person like Bivano, the hidden power behind him is definitely not as simple as a Fire Dance City. From beginning to end, I didn't see any powerful characters appearing, which was not in line with the identity of the Agareth family.
