Due to the stealth nature of the tunnels, the Cave Clans often attack coalition forces in the tunnels, so dismantling these caves is an important task.

Moreover, it is only necessary to bury explosives in the burrows to clear them.

So if all goes well, the task should not be difficult.

"Well, fortunately, this time the mission was relatively simple."

"Yes, a blessing in disguise, we should be able to return soon, right?"

"Well, everyone planted the bomb according to the deployment, and then it just needs to be successfully detonated."

The task was not difficult, and the soldiers complained a lot less.

However, when they arrived, it was just an open space, and there was nothing, let alone a hole in the ground.

"What's going on? Doesn't it look like there's a hole in the ground? ”

One soldier muttered.

Generally speaking, where there are holes in the ground, there will be occasional cases of popping up on the ground.

It was this experience that the soldiers used to distinguish the haunts of the Cave Clan.

Burst!

At that moment, a spike came out of the ground, stabbed diagonally into the soldier's back, and then from the chest.

“......！”

“......！”

“......！”

Seeing this scene, everyone's faces were shocked.

This spike is the kind of cave clan that the soldiers are very afraid of.

But strangely, it doesn't look like there's a hole in the ground, does it?

The Acupuncture Beast is a mutated creature belonging to the Cave Clan, a certain creature that has been mutated and genetically modified.

Needlemon are about the size of a cow, but they are unable to attack humans on the ground.

This is because the needles they use to launch their attacks grow on their backs and can only attack vertically from under the ground.

When such creatures are hidden underground, they will be more dangerous than most mutated creatures.

And genetic modification and mutation make them very adaptable to life underground.

They hide quietly on the ground and use the spikes on their backs to attack when other creatures approach.

In addition, it is hidden underground, very hidden, not easy to attack, and extremely difficult to deal with.

"Damn it!"

After confirming the existence of the needle beast, Karel gritted his teeth and said.

"Lieutenant Colonel Par Ten Rum is doing this to us again."

What was supposed to be a simple mission to destroy a hole in the ground now doesn't seem to be.

It's not once or twice.

Before committing to the battalion troops, Parshrum always sent the crocodile company to those unknown places to probe and detect unknown threats, and then decide on the movement of the battalion troops.

Why?

Because these soldiers of the ordinary company are just used as consumables.

And, those adventurers are immortal, and after a group of them, there will be other adventurers coming soon.

Treat soldiers as consumables, not people.

In Karel's opinion, the battalion commander of Par Ten Rum is always like this.

So he felt very powerless and aggrieved.

On the contrary, it might be better to be executed en masse for something wrong.

"Retreat, retreat!"

Karel hurriedly gave the order to retreat.

This is a very wise choice.

There were no scouts in the entire company, including the adventurers, and they had nothing to do when faced with a stealthy creature like the Needle Beast, and they could only die if they continued to stay here.

"Yes, it was the right decision!"

Chen Xing gave a thumbs up to Karel for his timely decision.

"Because I also know very well that in this case, it is basically impossible to win the battle, Your Highness."

Karel smiled along.

"But... Although we were able to retreat, we would inevitably be reprimanded when we returned to camp. ”

"Why?"

Chen Xing raised his eyebrows.

"Lieutenant Colonel Par Ten Rum .... That's the kind of person you are. He always emphasized that the first priority of a soldier is to obey orders, whether life or death. Even if they know that the mission is impossible, they cannot back down, and all soldiers must unconditionally follow the logic determined by the battalion commander. ”

"Unconditional obedience?"

Chen Xing sneered.

"If you were to rebel against the Macallan Kingdom, would you obey too?"

"Ahh This... I do not know. In any case, this time I will definitely be severely reprimanded and punished. ”

Karel shook his head helplessly.

The conceited military and the selfish military are both troublesome to get along.

Chen Xing, who had a military life, could roughly guess what kind of person Par Shirum belonged to.

The former is a real soldier, but if the latter is the latter, it will be a nightmare for the soldier, and he is also one of the worst bosses in the army.

"But if we want to hunt these needle beasts, it is obviously unlikely, and we may have to pay a huge sacrifice......"

"How could it be?"

Chen Xing said.

"Really? Do you have a solution? ”

"Let me try, I'll do my best, you pay attention, don't make too much noise, wait for me quietly here."

"But, Your Highness......"

"Don't worry, I have my own plans, you just wait for me."

After speaking, Chen Xing went to the empty area alone, and he didn't know how many needle beasts were hidden below.

Everyone looked at Chen Xing with mixed feelings.

"What, go alone?"

"Chen Xing! Are you crazy? ”

"Hey, you idiot. You're dead, it's a needle beast down here. Why are you taking this risk? ”

The soldiers scolded Chen Xing and worried about Chen Xing.

Because in their opinion, these stealthy needle beasts are really difficult to deal with.

"Huh? If you use the last skill again, you can't do it, right? This time, the monsters are all underground. ”

"What the hell does he want to do......"

"Is there really a way? Poison Mage... Does he have the skills associated with detection? ”

The adventurers were also very curious about what Chen Xing would do next to deal with these needle beasts.

However, Chen Xing did not take any special approach.

Sou!

When the spikes of the needle beast rise.

Chen Xing's sensitive senses sensed it instantly, and then turned his body slightly, avoiding the spikes.

Then, the spear in his hand thrust downwards with all his might.

Burst!

The sound of something being pierced.

"Well, I've got one."

After Chen Xing muttered to himself, he continued to walk forward.

As I walked, all my attention was very focused.

Thanks to Master Deus's tempering of his body and the ogre's super coordination rate.

The subtle sound in the desert could also be detected by Chen Xing.

Then there's the infinite repetition of simple tasks.

1. Chen Xing walked slowly, seducing the attack of the needle beast.

2. Attack of the Needle Beast.

3. Chen Xing dodges attacks.

4. Chen Xing stabbed the spear in his hand with all his might.

5. Take the gun and continue the next hunt.

Chen Xing's pattern was so simple that the soldiers standing not far away wondered if he had actually killed the Needle Beast.

"What is he doing?"

"You'd better not die, you're the strongest among us......"

"Can we really get rid of these needle beasts?"

Just watched Chen Xing stabbing and pulling not far away for a while, and he didn't know what he was doing.
