Chapter 43: Endless Bugs

At least fifteen hours had passed since arriving at the Spider Demon Plane, and the inertia of the biological clock had brought an irrepressible sense of exhaustion.

Simply setting up a defensive magic array, Leo closed his eyes and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

In a daze, I don't know how long it took, but there was a faint vibration on the ground.

Leo woke up and found that the tremor didn't seem to be caused by some giant creature running, which was quite strange.

At this time, Kalulugada's voice rang out: "Hurry up! It's the Gula worm!"

"Gula worm?" Leo had never heard of such a thing, but he knew that the situation was urgent, and without thinking, he began to run wildly after Kalulugada.

However, after running for a while, Leo noticed that not only was the shock not thrown away, but it was getting closer and closer, and it might not be long before he caught up.

"What the hell is that?" he asked, as he ran, Karulugada.

Without looking back, the spider demon replied, "A kind of bug, there are a lot of them! They eat anything! Even predators must avoid them when they encounter them!"

Hearing him say this, Leo couldn't help but think of the marching ants in his previous life. They live in groups in the Amazon basin, generally there are one or two million in a group, belonging to the migratory class of ants, do not have a fixed residence, and are accustomed to finding prey on the move. The most important thing is that everywhere it goes, all living things are devoured by it!

"We can't beat them with speed!" Leo shouted to Kalulugada, "what are they afraid of?"

"They're not afraid of anything!" said Kalulugada, who suddenly stopped and reversed course.

This kind of affection made Leo stunned, and hurriedly asked, "What are you going to do?"

Kalulugarda replied, "My duty is to protect you, so I'll buy you some time." ”

Speaking of which, Leo couldn't understand what it meant. This spider demon actually wanted to sacrifice himself to delay the pace of the Gula worm for the time being.

Although he knew that the other party was just obeying the orders of the mother emperor. But Leo still felt very unhappy, and hurriedly said, "Have you forgotten that you have another duty?"

"What?" Karluugada didn't understand what Leo meant.

Leo smiled, and suddenly raised his voice: "As a guide, take me to Horst Fortress! If you are eaten by Gula Worm here, how can I get to Horst Fortress?"

"But......" Kalulugada hesitated visibly.

"Keep running! and tell me about them, as much as you can! Leo stopped paying attention to the other party, but ran straight to the other party.

Kalulugarda hesitated for a moment, but finally picked up his pace and began to introduce Leo to the Gula Worm as much as he could.

Similar to Leo's guess, the Gula Worms do resemble marching ants, though they are larger, each nearly half a meter long, and their sharp pincers can easily tear through the carapace of a battle spider. Fortunately, they are not intelligent creatures. They don't usually attack spider nights.

After a few minutes, Leo could almost see the Gula Worm behind him. He kept telling to run as he asked, "That is, they don't have good eyesight, but they have a very strong sense of smell?"

"That's right, so we can't run away!" said Kalulugada's voice in desperation. It didn't care about its own death, it just grieved that it hadn't been able to fulfill the Mother Emperor's request.

Of course, Leo can't know what the other party thinks, and even if he does, I'm afraid he can't understand it. He glanced over his head at Karulugada's chelica. He asked again, "You should be good at digging holes." ”

"It's an innate ability!" replied Karulugada.

"That's good. Leo nodded and stopped. shouted: "Hurry up and dig a hole in the side, it doesn't need to be too big, it can accommodate us!"

"What are you going to do?" Kalulugada also paused and asked strangely.

"There's no time to explain, do as I say!" Leo said in a commanding tone.

Kalulugada didn't say anything more, and immediately spewed a stream of green liquid towards the stone wall on the side. Then the jaw fluttered and the chelica lunged through.

"Bang!"

Infected by the liquid, the stone wall turned soft like dirt, and was directly knocked into it by Kalulugada. And just over ten seconds later, a cavern capable of containing the spider demon and Leo has appeared.

Looking at Gulachung, who had reached a distance of several tens of meters, Leo entered the cave without thinking. and delivered a series of incantations.

In the next second, a gust of wind blew, taking away all the scent, and after the blast, an invisible barrier appeared at the entrance to the cave.

"Boom, boom!"

Untold gula worms crawled before the cave, and Leo held his breath and prayed secretly, his palms covered with sweat.

From the current point of view, no Gula worm has found itself, but even if one enters the cave, it will be left with only a dead end. Because judging from the current situation, the number of such bugs in the channel is at least tens of thousands.

Karulugada also didn't dare to move, it really couldn't think of why these insects crawled in front of it, but it didn't find itself, but now it definitely couldn't make a sound to ask.

The tension continued, and it took eight minutes before the last Gula worm disappeared from sight.

"Whew!" Leo let out a long breath and almost fell to the ground.

"Are you...... How to do it to ......" Kalulugada incredulous.

"Magic. Leo explained, "I first cleared our scent with the Wind Blast, and then sealed the mouth of the cave with the Phantom Wall Technique. This magic insulates odors from outflow and penetration. ”

"Magic ......" Kalulugarda repeated, not knowing what he was thinking.

After waiting another ten minutes to make sure there were no other threats, Leo and the Spider Demon were on their way again. The rest of the journey went smoothly, and after several hours, there was no more danger.

Turning through a curving passage, the two began to climb upwards.

Kalulugada said: "It's coming, we're going to be on the ground soon. ”

"Well, when we get to the ground, let's find a place to rest first. As soon as Leo finished speaking, he suddenly noticed a bright light coming from above, and there was no doubt that it was the exit of the underground passage.

But the light didn't seem to be the sun's rays, but a dark red glow.

Leo sped up his climb, and after a few moments, he finally reached the exit, and after seeing the scene outside, he finally understood why Kalulugada had said that he hated the ground. (To be continued.) )
