After simply rescuing the wounded with the potion he had brought with him, Peter led his soldiers in pursuit of the raised ground left by the worm when it fled.

For the first time, a team of 180 people was killed, which made Peter breathe a sigh of relief, seeing that the other party was already seriously injured, and he was depressed if he didn't chase after him and slaughter it.

The two dozen wounded were somewhat slowing down the march, but the neighborhood was very dangerous, at least the target where they had found the excrement had not yet appeared.

If he left the wounded in the vicinity or sent a small force to send them back, Peter would not be at ease, and if something happened he would regret it for the rest of his life.

After weighing the two, he finally divided the team into two teams, one group continued to follow the trail, and the other team protected supplies and the wounded followed.

The worms had been badly damaged, and the ninety men were more than enough to deal with, but the confident Peter did not know that this time the incident was far beyond his expectations......

Peter was a very experienced hunter before joining the army, and in the past two years in the army, he has participated in several major battles, and has been working in the scout brigade before, so he has a lot of experience in tracking and soon following the trail of the worm escape to a denser jungle.

There is something strange about this place, the soil is much darker than elsewhere, almost black, and the plants are very strange.

Although it is not surprising that there are any strange plants in this Demon Beast Mountain Range, in Peter's experience, these plants are so abnormal, the color is like the dirt under his feet, from the trunk to the leaves, they are a strange dark green.

Those weeds and shrubs are darker, dark green, and if it's just one or two, that's normal, but it's a little weird to see all the plants like this.

"Captain, why did you stop?" The deputy asked in a low voice.

Peter did not speak, but took a bag of dry food from his waist, poured the remaining scrap into his mouth, and then grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground in the midst of the bewildered gaze of the crowd, plucked a grass and put it in the bag, and hung it back up.

"What are you?" The deputy of the team is very puzzled, this is chasing the monster, you squatted down to grab the mud and play?

"There's something wrong with this place, tell the brothers to be careful, don't capsize in the gutter." Peter stood up and said, his instincts telling him that there was something wrong with this place.

As the commander of the Heavy Brigade, his authority is no less than that of a ministerial-level high-ranking official, so he knows a lot, there are too many secrets hidden in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and he knows that Ryan is exploring these secrets, and when he encounters this strange place at present, he has to bring at least a little something back.

After instructing everyone to be vigilant, the team once again chased along the trail, and the deeper they went, the more strange the shape of the plant became, and the originally straight trunk gradually became distorted, and the branches were dancing like the claws of the devil.

It was so quiet that there was no sound of beasts, not even birds and insects, it was like entering a dead place, eerie and terrifying.

Peter became more and more uneasy as he walked, and he wanted to lead the team out of this strange place, but his deep sense of responsibility told him that he had to find out what was going on in this place.

Because it is so close to the site of the new city, if there is any real threat here, if there is any action, the entire construction site of more than 20,000 construction workers will suffer a devastating blow!

As soldiers, they must have the consciousness to detect the crisis in advance and strangle it in the cradle, even if it costs their own lives for it!

After about half an hour of travel, the trail suddenly vanished, and Peter immediately realized that the worm might be nearby, and that this was probably its nest.

"In groups of ten, scatter and search, don't spread too far, and be vigilant." Peter lowered his voice and instructed the officers beside him.

A few people understood, and a few gestures quickly went out, and the team of nearly 100 people spread out like plum blossoms.

After a while, a group made a discovery.

A soldier came up to Peter and said, "Captain, I think you should come here and have a look." ”

The soldiers led Peter to a large cliff, and at the bottom of the cliff was a huge "sinkhole", estimated to be more than two kilometers in diameter.

It is not uncommon to find a "sinkhole" in the Warcraft Mountain Range, but the strange thing is that there is a layer of gray mist lingering in this large pit.

Peter looked down from the edge of the sinkhole, completely blocked by the endless layer of gray mist, unable to see what was below or how deep it was.

He picked up a large rock at his feet and threw it down, watching it fall into the gray fog, but Peter never heard the sound of the stone crashing.

"What the hell is this?" Peter's brows furrowed into the word "Chuan", how many times he had shuttled back and forth in this Monster Forest, he had never encountered such a strange situation today.

Whether it was the pitch-black ground under his feet, or the dark green twisted plants around him, or the "sinkhole" in front of him now, it made him feel very uneasy.

"The worm has appeared, don't let it run again!" Just as he pondered, a cacophony of voices came from afar.

He looked back, and through the layers of trees, he saw the scarred worm, which had now been surrounded by several groups of soldiers in the vicinity, crossbowmen waiting for an opportunity to fire arrows, and the sword and shield soldiers and the rest of the soldiers were fighting in close quarters with great bravery.

"Let's go, avenge Vic!" Peter's heart was full of murderous intent, and he couldn't care about this strange "sinkhole", so he quickly led people to surround it.

Although the scale armor of this worm was comparable to steel, it had little defense in front of the rune sword, and it was soon crushed under the siege of everyone and fell to the land.

The battle lasted more than a quarter of an hour, and the heavy brigade was not comfortable on its side, because of the worm's dying counterattack, a dozen unlucky people were injured.

The two most serious of them were broken by the sternum and ribs, and the heavy breastplate was deeply dented into it, although they took the healing potion in time, it was up to God to survive or not.

"Damn, the fourth-level demonic beasts are really powerful, if they are replaced by those third-level demonic beasts before, let us besiege them like this I don't know how many times we have died." The team deputy just swept away and crashed into a tree, and his face was covered in blood at the moment.

Peter was also slightly injured, he shook his head and said, "This demonic beast should already be close to the fifth level, if it weren't for the strong equipment, we people would not be enough for it to fight."

How many weapons are left? ”

The team deputy sat down beside him, spat bloody spit, and said: "There are only two rune heavy arrows left on our bodies, and there are dozens of light arrows in the crossbow, and the crystal bombs have never had a chance to be used, and there are five of them." ”

"The price is really not small, hurry up and clean up the battlefield, if it weren't for the territorial support, we would be doing a loss-making business." Peter said with emotion.

In terms of the weapons and equipment they consumed, they had already exceeded the value of this fourth-level demonic beast, and if they were a mercenary group, they would go bankrupt sooner or later.

The soldiers of the heavy brigade cleaned the battlefield professionally, and they saw a rune war knife flying flexibly in their hands, and quickly took out the beast core, and the rest of them also stripped off the relatively intact scale armor.

The defense power of these scale armor is obvious to all, not inferior to the normal version of plate armor, or even surpassing, so it is quite a good choice to take it back to make armor or sell it.

They also took some of the blood and took it with them, which was a good material for making alchemical potions, and could be sold for a good price.

Just as they were in full swing of dissection, they didn't know that danger was quietly approaching......

In the "sinkhole", the gray mist swelled like the waves of the sea, and several huge creatures popped up in it, and they climbed silently up the steep cliffs, the vertical cliffs like walking on the ground and fast.

Two heavily armed soldiers stood guard nearby, chatting about the strange plants around them, unaware of ...... Calamity has struck!

"Poof"

Before they could utter their screams, the two soldiers became two standing headless corpses, warm blood gushing like fountains.

The muffled sound of the head hitting the ground alarmed the group leader who was around, and he immediately found the two teammates who had been killed, and the team leader immediately shouted: "Enemy attack!" Enemy ......"

Before he finished speaking, a behemoth appeared in front of him, flicking his tail fiercely, and the team leader suddenly felt that he had been hit by a galloping war horse, and the solid armor on his chest instantly sunken down, and rolled a few times on the ground like a rolling gourd, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

This turn of events stunned everyone present, but the elite is the elite, and the moment they discovered the enemy's situation, they put everything down and rushed to Peter's side, forming a tight military formation.

Only then do they have the energy to observe what the enemy they are facing.

It was a triumph of strange beasts, one foot tall, and the whole looked like a giant beetle, with a pair of huge pincers covered with jagged teeth, one of which was stained with minced flesh and blood.

Their backs are not translucent elytra like beetles, but membranous wings similar to dragonflies, with three pairs, but the proportions are extremely incongruous, and only half the length of its back is very comical.

And their lower limbs are even more peculiar, not like beetles, but like snails, moving forward by wriggling.

At the back, he dragged a tail that resembled a snake, wagging restlessly.

"This ...... What the hell is this? "The deputy of the team has an ugly face, no matter how you look at it, this thing feels weird, like a deformed hodgepodge of many kinds of demonic beasts combined, and it doesn't fit the characteristics of any kind of demonic beast at all.

"They crawled out of that big pit, MD, and I think there's something wrong here." Peter's face was almost blackened, and as soon as the enemy showed up, he broke three of his brothers!

"They're coming!"

The shouts of rage focused everyone's attention, and the three behemoths were squirming rapidly towards them, and the trees in front of them were completely vulnerable in front of the massive pincers.

Looking at the fallen trees one by one, everyone gasped, if they were caught, they would have to be cut in half on the spot!

"Can't let them get closer, a thousand crossbows ready-"

Peter shouted, and all the soldiers with long-range attack methods began to shoot one after another, and there were only two arrows from the Qianji crossbow, but the effect was very good, and a demonic beast was directly penetrated, and it was directly blown into pieces, and he hated the northwest.

This scene made Peter stunned, so simple to kill? Could it be that this thing is a paper tiger, but it is not resistant at all?

But he soon found himself overjoyed, and the Thousand Machine Crossbows fired explosive heavy arrows, which were very effective against them, but the piercing light arrows of the repeaters were not ideal, and although they pierced their carapaces, they failed to cause actual damage.

"No, once we let them get close to the military formation, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and we must use the [Crystal Bomb]."

Peter's face was ugly, and there were only two heavy arrows, and if they didn't use the [Crystal Bomb] again, they would suffer a big loss.

Thinking of this, he immediately no longer hesitated, took out an iron can with a long handle from his waist, twisted it slightly, and then pressed the handle, and a five-pack [crystal bomb] was activated.

Peter threw it with all his strength, and when he was finished, he threw two more in a row, without looking at the result.

"Bang Bang Bang"

There were three earth-shattering bangs in a row, and the bright light from the explosion made them dare not look directly, and the sweeping shock wave made them extremely uncomfortable, and they felt that their internal organs were shaking.

Fortunately, the distance was far enough, and if it was ten meters or so, the soldiers in the front row would have to be knocked down by the shock wave.

The light and smoke of the explosion dissipated, and the original location of the demonic beast was suddenly empty, leaving only a small pile of minced meat.

"Great, they've all been blown up into a pile of rotten meat!" The soldiers were immediately excited, this was the first time they had used the [Crystal Bomb] since entering the mountain, and this power really lived up to its name.

And the next moment, their smiles froze on their faces, because at the edge of the "sinkhole", huge pincers came out one after another, and a rough count showed that there were no less than ten.

Peter's expression changed drastically, and he roared angrily: "Retreat, retreat the same way immediately!" ”

Everyone suddenly woke up and immediately began to retreat in an orderly manner with the materials cut from the wounded and worms.

Their speed was fast, but the speed of those strange monsters was not slow either, and the lower limbs of this batch were no longer like snails, but six pairs of stubby legs, and they moved much faster.

After running wildly for half an hour, seeing that he hadn't gotten rid of them yet, Peter suddenly took out the only two [crystal bombs] left and threw them out to block their speed.

The explosion instantly shredded the three demonic beasts, and the speed of the remaining ones was indeed blocked, and they were finally thrown off by Peter.

After losing their target, several monsters stood still, motionless, and after a while, as if they had received some instructions, they returned to the "sinkhole" and jumped down.

The moment they came into contact with the gray mist, the membranous wings on their backs began to flapp at great speed, supporting their huge bodies and slowly falling...... (End of chapter)
