The pitch-black wormhole tunnels stretched deep underground, and the light of the torches was faint in the extreme darkness. As we went deeper into the ground, the dampness on the walls of the cave became heavier and heavier, and from time to time water droplets mixed with disgusting liquid dripped down, and the surface was arid Gobi, but the underground was such a scene, which surprised the soldiers of the expedition team.

"Captain, there seems to be movement ahead. ”

A soldier from the border battalion spotted movement at the end of another wormhole, and Leo looked in the direction the soldier was pointing. It was still dark, there was only the faint sound of limb rubbing, and the insects didn't need light at all, but humans couldn't see anything without light.

The sudden, subtle movement made everyone nervous, it was a creature that no one had ever seen before, but judging by the thick, dense cobwebs seen along the way, it should be a large, disgusting bug.

Leo took the torch and walked at the front, the knight's sword reflecting a little light in the light of the torch.

"Archers. ”

The further you went inside, the more obvious the grinding sound of the dark creatures became, and although the light of the torches was not enough to make out their outlines, everyone instinctively felt that they were all around. Just in case, Leo directly ordered the archer behind him to pull the string and prepare, as soon as the target appeared, no matter what he was, shoot directly. Creatures that live in such darkness underground won't be a good thing......

And the archers behind him also obeyed the orders of the bow and arrows, although Leo actually has no real power here, but with the noble status of the knight commander in the past and rich combat experience, everyone is still willing to obey him.

"Captain, be careful!"

The tension reached its extreme, until a warrior saw a huge worm claw in the darkness!

It was a claw the thickness of a human thigh, and it seemed to be only one of the forelimbs of the giant worm, and just as the warrior shouted for Leo to be careful, the huge claw had already struck quickly, stabbing the knight captain in the chest.

But Leo is not an ordinary knight after all, after thousands of battles, large and small, the name of the head of the Templar Order is not in vain, just the moment the forelimbs of the giant insect stabbed, Leo quickly took a step back, and at the same time threw the torch in his hand forward, this time, the light of the torch completely illuminated the face of the monster.

It was a devilish face, eight compound eyes the size of a fist hanging over that ugly face, if that was a face.

Leo reacted quickly and took a step backwards, dodging the attack of the giant worm's forelimbs, and in the next second, the four human archers released the arrows in their hands almost simultaneously.

"Poof. ”

Unlike the sound of a beast being injured, the sound of a giant bug being injured is even more eerie, not the primitive roar of a beast, but a disgusting sound of worm flesh tearing.

But the injured giant worm did not retreat, but rushed forward in frenzy, the carapace rubbing against the cave wall, as if the entire wormhole passage was trembling, what kind of giant worm was this, what kind of huge body was behind this extremely ugly face? The soldiers of the squad almost dared not imagine. More than a dozen soldiers, the biggest enemy at the moment is not this monster, but the fear in everyone's hearts.

Fear is the greatest enemy of mankind, and there is no such fighting desire as the orcs who are furious, and almost everyone makes the same action - run. Let's go to this horrible and disgusting place.

"Fake. ”

Leo scolded in his heart, but reluctantly chose to retreat. It's just a giant worm, when I was in the mage tower with Jabbar and Baladin, I encountered the undead spider, which was several times bigger than this, but everyone still fought side by side to kill the huge spider. But now, just a creep-level bug scares these human infantrymen like this.

"Withdraw. ”

In desperation, Leo followed the team to run back, found the hole, and ran out to talk.

The huge underground insect network is intricate, like a labyrinth, and the soldiers of the squad have made a good mark before they come in, and they don't have the heart to pay attention to it at the moment, and everyone only cares about frantically fleeing for their lives.

However, there is not only one bug, these giant worms have been silent underground for thousands of years, and they are also constantly evolving under the transformation of demons, and even have a high IQ. Knowing how to round up their prey, when they reached a slightly larger wormhole link platform, more bugs surged from all directions, and one of the infantrymen running at the front had no time to dodge and was pounced on by another giant worm. In the next second, the sound of the worm's jaw biting bones rang out with the screams of the human infantry, and in the stunned eyes of everyone, the giant insect bit off the entire thigh of the wounded infantryman, and then stabbed the soldier's chest with its forelimbs, immobilizing the soldier who had broken his leg to the ground, and then devoured the broken leg!

Blood suddenly gushed out of the soldier's chest and thighs, the arteries were severed, and the soldier screamed in pain, but no one dared to save him, and the injuries were so severe that even if he was rescued, he would not live long.

The terrifying picture makes everyone run even more frantically, and at this moment, the desire to survive surpasses everything.

"Roar. ”

A warrior was stabbed in the lower leg by a bug, and the beetle's strength was so great that the forelimbs even penetrated the warrior's armor, and the wounded warrior screamed. Leo turned around, and the knight's sword slashed down, splitting the claw in two in an instant. Another terrifying insect chirp came, and the beetle's shell bulged out, as if it were two insect wings!

But in the narrow wormhole, the beetle can't really fly, and just continues to crawl with its remaining seven legs, Leo swings his torch and shakes in front of the beetle. Like any dark creature, the Zerg have a natural fear of fire, and the wounded beetle is in a stalemate with Leo while the two warriors carry their wounded companion on their backs and flee the wormhole.

Giant spiders, giant reptiles that look like centipedes, sand scorpions, and after a series of giant insect round-ups, the team finally escaped from this magic cave, but two hours ago, the team of a dozen people was only three people left at the moment, Leo, Adrian and an archer...... Even the soldier who had picked up his companion and wanted to escape with him was not spared. All of them became food for the Zerg, but maybe the corpses of the dozen or so humans were not enough for them to stuff their teeth, and Leo saw hundreds of insects underground, and it was estimated that it was only the tip of the iceberg of this huge Zerg.

"What do we do now?"

Adrien, who had almost collapsed, asked Leo in horror.

"Go back to the city, gather all the soldiers, and prepare to fight the Zerg to the death. ”

Compared to Adrien's flusteredness, Leo was calm.

"Don't you report it to the king?"

"Yes, it would be good if you sent someone to report, not in my name, all in the name of your border guard. ”

Leo said, looking melancholy into the distance, in the sand that had just escaped death, but now it was surprisingly calm, as if nothing existed under that dry Gobi......
