Chapter Forty-Six: The Golden Thousand-Foot Demon Worm

"It looks like it's going to rain," the low-ranking two-star hunter called Lao Lu by Zhou Ming and others observed the weather from the gaps in the leaves, "Is it a day off, or do you want to continue?"

Zhou Ming is the temporary captain of the squad, this sentence is obviously asked to Zhou Ming, Zhou Ming thought for a while, and asked "Brother Hammer": "Brother Hammer, will the trap you prepared fail because of the rain?"

"It's just a net made of twisted wire, how can it be affected by wind and rain?" Brother Hammer carefully checked his net, and replied, "The Millipede Demon Worm has no sharp parts on its body except for its mouthparts, and it will definitely take a lot of time to bite this net, and you will have already solved it by then."

"Okay, the sooner we finish the task, the sooner we can go back, let's act, let's try to complete this task today." Zhou Ming thought for a moment, and then said, "Let's look for the target first, Lao Lu, you and Brother Hammer are in a group, I am in a group with a toothpick, and we will return here every hour to exchange information, if you find a thousand-foot demon worm, don't rush forward, the success rate of the four of them together will be relatively high." ”

Of course, the toothpick in Zhou Ming's mouth is another hunter with a lower rank of two stars, this guy is as thin as a toothpick, but his strength is the largest among the four, Zhou Ming is very suspicious of where his strength came from. The plan was decided, and the four of them divided into two teams to search in the northwest and southwest directions, and the forest fell silent again.

The storm has not yet come, but the wind has already risen in the forest, and the wind has blown all the trees to tilt their heads in the same direction - pointing directly at the White Rock City, the dark clouds are pressing the realm, and there is a feeling of "black clouds pressing the city and wanting to destroy the city", it is very dangerous to sleep in the wild under this weather condition, Zhou Ming can only pray that the storm will pass before the night comes, and decided that if there is nothing to gain before noon, they will no longer look for it in the afternoon, and begin to prepare some necessary protective measures to survive this rainy night.

"Toothpick, did you know about the fierce beast of the thousand-peded demon insect before?" Zhou Ming still wanted to know as much as possible about the strength of the prey before hunting, so on the way, Zhou Ming also asked the toothpick who was older than him.

"I've seen it once before, it's quite weak, and I feel that it's no problem for a low-level two-star hunter to deal with one alone, and I don't know why it was designated as a low-level three-star ......" Toothpick opened the way with the machete in his hand, and replied as he walked.

Listening to the toothpick's answer, Zhou Ming frowned instead, the strength level of the fierce beast is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient sages of the three clans, even now there will be a special hunter organization to review it, and there will be almost no mistakes, if the strength of the thousand-foot demon insect is really far inferior to the average lower-level three-star fierce beast, then it must have more power than other lower-level three-star fierce beasts at a certain point.

"Boom!" The thunder sounded from far and near, symbolizing the arrival of the storm, Zhou Ming and the two couldn't help but speed up their pace, this was already the second hour of their search, the four of them returned to the agreed place to gather and still found nothing, the wind became stronger, blowing so that Zhou Ming could hardly open his eyes, as a last resort, Zhou Ming ordered to find a place to rest and wait for the storm to pass.

Hearing that they wanted to find a sheltered place to rest, Lao Lu and Brother Hammer had a proposal, they found a cave on the road that could be used to shelter from the wind, and there was no problem with accommodating the four of them, Zhou Ming was naturally overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Lao Lu and Brother Hammer to lead the way.

When the four of them came to the cave, it was already pouring rain outside, because they did not prepare dry firewood, the plan of a few people to start a fire ended in failure, but fortunately the weather was still very hot, a few people only left Lao Lu to sentry, and the remaining three people took off their armor and hung aside, so they sat naked in the cave to rest, but they would not feel cold.

The wind carried the torrential rain for a whole afternoon, during which Zhou Ming and the others could only chew dry food and tell some unnutritious jokes to pass the time. In the end, Zhou Ming was even bored to the point that he hoped that a fierce beast or something would break into this cave in order to escape the rain, but there were only a handful of fierce beasts that would come out to hunt in this weather, and they had not seen the shadow of a fierce beast this afternoon, otherwise Zhou Ming and a few people would still have something to do to pass the time......

By the evening, the rain had gradually subsided, and Zhou Ming even saw the last rays of sunset in the middle of the thinning clouds, and at night, the moon was thin, and only the occasional drops of water from the leaves and the muddy ground proved that the storm had once raged here.

The arrival of the storm is not completely without benefits, Zhou Ming walked out of the cave, only to feel that the air was refreshing, as if the whole person even half of the pores were stretched, he did not plan to hunt at night, but just nested in the cave for an afternoon to come out to breathe, several other people also had similar plans, and walked out of the cave one after another, but they didn't know that this almost unintentional act of inserting willows saved the lives of all of them.

At first, a few people just walked around the cave casually, and by the way, they arranged some gentian blocks and traps around them to prevent the beasts from approaching after they rested at night, until Brother Hammer suddenly beckoned to the others, and then lowered his voice and shouted to everyone: "Come here, come quickly, you see what I have found, prepare to hunt, brothers." ”

Zhou Ming and the three of them listened, naturally they hurriedly surrounded him, walked to Brother Hammer, Zhou Ming also unconsciously snorted softly, from their point of view, it is not difficult to see that on a tree not far away, there is a fierce insect beast like a centipede, and there are countless pairs of appendages densely arranged on both sides of the body, the whole body is golden, and it seems to be still emitting a faint fluorescence, so that far away, Zhou Ming can clearly see its terrible jaw feet, as well as the mouthparts composed of three pairs of jaws, Zhou Ming preliminarily estimated that this thing is probably two meters long and thirty or forty centimeters wide。

"Well, if you miss it, you might have to look for it for another day or two. Brother Hammer was still complacent about his meritorious service, but the toothpick over there splashed him with a basin of cold water.

"Something is wrong," Toothpick put her hand on her shield a little nervously, "this millipede worm is not the same as the one I've seen before. ”

"I also noticed that the millipede I saw before was black, and it was much smaller than this one. Zhou Ming was also a little worried, abnormal must be a demon, this thousand-foot demon insect is probably not as easy to deal with as an ordinary thousand-foot demon worm.

"Maybe get this one back, and that collector will give us some extra reward, don't the so-called collectors like this rare thing?" Brother Hammer still insisted on his assertion.

"Zhou Ming, you are the captain, you have an idea, I think what Brother Hammer said also makes sense, after all, it is a thousand-foot demon worm, it's a big deal, we don't care if there are any scars on the appearance, just cut it to death, and then go to find a normal thousand-foot demon worm tomorrow." At this time, Lao Lu also spoke, as the oldest and most experienced hunter in the team, his words Zhou Ming would still carefully consider.

"Okay, let's start preparing. Zhou Ming also felt that what Lao Lu said was very reasonable, if this thousand-foot demon insect was really not as easy to deal with as an ordinary thousand-foot demon insect, then they would directly rush up and kill this guy with a knife regardless of whether there were any injuries or not, anyway, there was still time left in the task, and they were not in a hurry to establish the results tonight.

"Lao Lu, toothpick, you two keep an eye on that thousand-foot demon worm, Brother Hammer, you go and set up the trap first, and after the arrangement is completed, the hunt will begin, and the action will begin. Zhou Ming began to arrange the task according to the plan they had discussed along the way, but somehow, his right eyelid kept jumping, which made him uneasy.

"Zhou Ming, you can lead him here, I'll hide over there, and I'll close the net as soon as I see the thousand-foot demon worm coming in. Brother Hammer spread the stranded net on the ground, and the end of the rope used to collect the net was spread all the way on the ground and thrown on the other side of the tree, so that as long as he pulled the rope, the thousand-foot demon insect would be hoisted to the branch by the net that was put away, and then it was time for Zhou Ming's white sand style to shoot.

"Okay, I'll go and ask Lao Lu and the toothpick to get to work. Zhou Ming turned around and ran to the two lower-rank two-star hunters, while Brother Hammer hid to the side first.

"Do it!" Zhou Ming's heart was a little nervous, he had hunted by himself before, and it was the first time that he had commanded everyone to hunt together like this.

"Okay!" Hearing Zhou Ming's order, Lao Lu rushed forward with a loud shout, and the toothpick stood silently three meters away from Lao Lu, such a distance could ensure that the thousand-foot demon worm could not attack the two of them at the same time, and the two of them could take care of it at any time before, which can be said to be the safest plan.

The golden-colored thousand-foot demon insect heard the sound, and saw the hunter Lao Lu who rushed up to provoke, and let out a strange "click", and slid down from the tree with a snort, and rushed in the direction of Lao Lu.

The reason why it is called a wild run is because the sprint speed of this thousand-foot demon insect is no longer inferior to the red-eyed mantis that Zhou Ming encountered before.

"No, there's something wrong with this guy, it's too fast!" Old Lu shouted, turned his head and ran towards the place where the trap was, and the toothpick was also close behind.
