Chapter 146 Bird-eating spiders

Sandru had been to the Green Forest Plane, and the place full of life made him very uncomfortable. And Zong Hu just nodded and didn't say a word. Recently, no matter what Richard says, Zonghu will immediately implement it, which is very submissive.

The meeting ended quickly, and the followers immediately dispersed, leaving Richard with little time for them, only one day. Tomorrow evening, it's time to teleport back to Norland.

Richard returned this time, in addition to a group of followers, with only ten constructed knights who were going to be returned to Nereus and Agamemnon. None of the brood's troops were brought with them, and all of them remained in Faro to guard them. However, in this way, Richard is like having no generals who can lead the army, but Richard is not worried. On the strong side, there is Zonghu in charge, and there are brains and broods on the deployment of troops, at least it is not a problem to hold the bloodstained land.

Soon it was time to leave Faro, and the followers were stunned to find that there was another strange creature with a blue-black body, five meters long and nearly two meters in diameter, like a silkworm chrysalis. What's even weirder is that this thing is actually floating in the air.

The followers were confused, not knowing what this thing was doing with life fluctuations, what it was supposed to be a living thing, and they didn't know if such a guy who looked bigger than the frame of the plane portal in front of him could squeeze into the door.

However, after Richard had the Constructed Knights go through the Guò portal first, he commanded the Star Chrysalis to enter the portal. So in front of everyone, the star chrysalis suddenly doubled its body, thus becoming quite slender, and then twisted its body like a snake to swim into the time beacon and disappeared into the portal.

Followers, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say. When they also passed through the dimensional portal and appeared in the Eternal Dragon Temple, they saw that the star chrysalis had recovered its original state, floating there silently, as if nothing had happened.

In the Temple of the Eternal Dragon, both Nereus and Agamemnon had received the news and were waiting there on time. The three of them met in a hurry, only greeted each other, and began to enter the green forest plane one after another, without wasting time at all.

The green forest was still as damp as it had been when he left, and after walking on the ground for a while, his clothes were so wet that they seemed to be dripping.

Richard, Nereus, and Agamemnon had already discussed and decided on the battle plan, so the group only took a short rest in the base city before leading the most elite 800 soldiers to the Tree of Life.

Arriving at the foot of the Tree of Life, Richard began to try to communicate the will of the Tree of Life. A moment later, the deep voice of the Tree of Life sounded in Richard's consciousness: "Great Alien Traveler, have you brought good news? ”

"Definitely. If you start leveling up now, how long will it take to attract woodpeckers?"

"In about ten days, I can complete the promotion on the thirtieth day. ”

Richard thought for a moment and said, "I need to take a little more time." So, you'll start the progression process in a week!"

There was a noticeable increase in excitement in the voice of the Tree of Life, saying, "As you wish, Great Plane Traveler!"

Excited, the Tree of Life raised Richard's title to another level, and it sounded even louder.

After Richard walked out of the treehouse, he ordered the elves and warriors to leave the treehouse of the Tree of Life and set up camp on the grass next to it, leaving only the warriors and mages wielding the giant crossbows on the tree of life. After all the warriors and elves had migrated, Richard gave the order to release the inventory to the star chrysalis.

The star chrysalis slowly floated to a cleared clearing at the edge of the woods, its tail raised, and thousands of fist-sized white eggs poured out from the openings in its body.

Through the transparent egg wall, you can see that in each egg there is a creature curled up in the body, like a ball of insects. The eggs rolled around, covering the grass, and the star chrysalis stood up entirely, pouring out the last eggs in the space in the body, and the last eggs that fell out were a few dark cyan eggs that were obviously larger.

The opening at the back of the star chrysalis slowly closed, it pulled up a little higher, and then hovered about ten meters above the ground, never moving again.

Richard looked at the eggs that were all over the ground, and gave the order to hatch in his mind. Almost at the same moment, all the eggs wriggled and the nearly hatched larvae broke out one after another. They are white flesh worms, but their crawling speed is unusually fast, and they even bring a ** afterimage.

The first thing these larvae do when they are born is to eat up their eggshells, and then they crawl in the direction of the forest, refusing to let go of the blades of grass that they pass along the way. Their mouthparts are so powerful that if you look down from the air, you can see white lines stretching across the meadow leading to the forest. Leaving behind him were strips of brown bare soil, like graffiti left by young children on the green carpet.

A moment later, hundreds of larvae in the front row had climbed the ancient trees in the forest. They crawled towards the canopy and began to grasp the leaves and munch. The larvae eat unusually fast, their snow-white bodies quickly turning dark green and finally dark green, and flakes of excreted worm sand rain down from the air.

The trees were soon full of larvae, and then they were eaten up of the canopy at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then the branches, and even the trunks were gnawed in circles, and finally the larvae did not even let go of the roots, and went straight into the ground one by one, until the roots were gnawed clean, and then they writhed out of the dirt, scattered, and crawled towards the surrounding trees. The trees they had gnawed on had completely disappeared, leaving only a dark green pile of worm sand in its place.

Any larvae that have eaten two trees have at least doubled in size.

Time passed silently, and the forest was silent. The elves all came out of their tents, looking at the old trees that were still thinning. Now the larvae are more than a meter old and look extremely terrifying. They tend to congregate on a single tree, and it only takes a few breaths to nibble on the tree.

A gust of wind blew, sending a fine and dense clatter sound into everyone's ears, so many veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time couldn't help but get goosebumps. Watching thousands of bugs swell and grow in front of your eyes, the feeling is not fearful, but it makes people can't help but feel creepy.

And the elves saw the ancient trees disappear, their faces jumping, and many of them were secretly gritting their teeth. Zhu Bu Lingfeng wanted to go out of the crowd, but was pulled back by the elven elf elder.

Ignoring the larvae's activities, Richard found a treehouse and began to meditate to improve his magic. However, this time the Tree of Life was busy upgrading its rank, so it didn't have any extra breath of life for Richard to use.

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye, and the first little larvae have now become giant insects that are two meters long, and they have eaten thousands of trees. Clearings were created in the midst of the forests that shaded the sky.

By midnight on the third day, the giant insects stopped eating and began to form cocoons. At dawn, thousands of snow-white cocoons hang in the forest, swaying in the wind.

During this time, Richard's warriors were not idle, and they began to build walls around the Tree of Life with special steel plates they had brought with them. These plates are custom-made for the armor workshop, and are thicker than the average knight's plate armor, enough to block the first blow of the Woodpecker. The Tree of Life also began to prepare for its evolution, and all the tree bars began to harden and grow half-meter-long wooden thorns.

After another three days, the cocoon began to crack, and strange insects crawled out of it. They have short eight arthropods and a large belly, like soft-shelled alien spiders. This is the gift that the mother nest has prepared especially for woodpeckers, bird-eating spiders. At Richard's orders, the bird-eating spiders crawled like a tide towards the Tree of Life. Thousands of bird-eating spiders the size of juvenile foals crawled at the same time, it was a terrifying sight unimaginably terrifying.

The bird-eating spiders climbed up the tree of life, each found a place on the branch to settle himself, and the arthropods were nailed deep into the tree, and then they remained motionless.

Richard stood under the tree, gently stroking the elven knife in his hand, feeling slightly nervous. Although he analyzed the information of the woodpeckers according to the brood, deduced it many times, made full preparations and deployments, and this battle should be fully grasped, but what will happen when tens of thousands of woodpeckers attack at the same time will only be known when the matter comes.

Even though Richard had the gift of intelligence, he knew that plans are just plans, and reality is always more complex than plans.

The forest suddenly fell silent, and the sound of the branches and leaves that had always been there disappeared, and it seemed that all the trees were still for an instant, for fear of making a slight noise and provoking something that should not be provoked.

So Richard knew that the woodpecker had arrived.

The breeze gradually rose, and the surroundings became more and more eerie, because there was still no sound, and all the branches and leaves did not sway.

The wind is suddenly strong!

A woodpecker sprang out from above the trees, circled around the Tree of Life, made a metallic croak, and swooped down!

In this direction, an elite bird-eating spider, significantly larger than its companion and with a cyan color, let out a short, shriek that was inaudible to the human ear.

A spout appeared on the backs of the two bird-eating spiders, aimed at the woodpeckers. Then two bolts of white light shot out of the vent like lightning, turning into two large nets in the air, covering the woodpecker crow with unmistakable precision.

The cobwebs look very light and thin, but they have unimaginable toughness, and after being wrapped around the woodpecker's body, with the strange power of the woodpecker, it can't break free, and its wings flutter tighter and tighter, and finally it is entangled and planted on the ground.
