Chapter 194: Scarlet Storm
There are many kinds of bugs in the Qila Empire, some of which are self-evolved to adapt to the environment, and some of which are the products of artificial modification by high-level insects for war purposes.
This peculiar-looking burrower is believed to have evolved from itself, and its body is covered with a sturdy chitin shell with many sharp barbs.
Wellles watched vigilantly, the giant burrowing worm burrowing in the empty hive, its approximate location only by sound.
"Sarren, this burrower is also a low-level bug?"
Sarayan was also puzzled by this: "I don't know, but this guy doesn't look very smart, maybe he is cannon fodder with an empty body advantage but an empty brain?" β
In any case, Sarjan and his party finally understood how the Qila worm people had dug up such a large underground worm nest in just over a month.
"Uncle, are we going to fight or withdraw?"
Wellles thought for a moment: "It's too dangerous to fight the burrower underground, and if it continues to burrow in the ground, the entire hive may collapse due to loose soil." β
"Withdraw! Let's get back to the ground first. β
Verles was the commander of the special operations team, and after receiving his orders, everyone quickened their pace and quickly evacuated along the route they had come.
However, the burrowing worms roaming around did not seem to intend to let them go, and many parts of their original route had collapsed, making it impossible to return the way they came.
As a last resort, the group had to change their route and detour.
Luckily, there was more than one passage to the surface in the hive, and they were able to get back to the surface before the burrower completely collapsed the hive.
As soon as he returned to the surface of the yellow sand, the underground insect nest, which was still relatively solid, collapsed inward.
"Boom!"
The giant burrower followed closely behind and poked its head out of the ground, its mouthparts full of sharp teeth roaring angrily at Vellais and the others.
Ready for battle! β
Under the orders of Vellais, everyone drew their weapons and put them on full alert.
The Backlight Blades are all thieves, and in the case of being able to break through the defense, their output ability is not bad, but it is difficult for the thieves to resist head-on.
As the only warrior in the team, Saljan stepped up and jumped into the range of the Driller's impact with a heroic leap.
Sarren's mission is to get the armored burrower out of the way and try not to get it into the ground again.
Leaping into the air, Sarian lifted Quelcera high, and with the force of his fall, the sharp blade slammed into the Driller's shell.
When cutting into the shelling, Salian clearly felt some resistance.
But with the help of high-quality weapons, he broke through the enemy's defenses, leaving a deep wound on the Driller's body.
"Shhh
The pain-biting burrower instinctively shook its body, green blood spraying everywhere as it struggled.
Looking at the big head that slammed into the low worm, Sarian hurriedly retracted his attack and parried with his sword on his chest.
"Bell!"
As he landed, a huge blast came from Quelceira's sword, and Sarayan dragged it back several meters uncontrollably on the sand.
Fortunately, his defensive posture did not collapse, and he was still firmly on the ground.
"That's a lot of strength!"
Turning to a single-handed sword, Sarren shook his numb right hand and took the opportunity to flick an eagle-eye spell at the driller.
This burrower has a level of 45 and is known as the Descendant of Oro (madness, overdraft).
[Damn, Oro?! γ
[PTSD, and I remembered the countless experiences of exterminating that big bug.] γ
[Madness is understandable, but what the hell is overdraft? γ
[According to the analysis of the current situation, its original strength should not be so strong, and eighty percent of it has been injected with hormones. γ
[God fights hormones! γ
[Well, no kidding, it's obvious that Cthun did something on it, allowing the Oro heir, who is not strong in itself, to penetrate through the increasingly weak defenses of the Wall of Quicksand, and then trigger the "switch" in its body when it comes to battle. γ
[This guy is a typical seedling puller, there is no need to fight to the death, sooner or later its body will not be able to withstand the dangerous overclocking power.] γ
Sarjan: "That's easy to say! β
After steady, Salian charged and approached the heir of Oro once more.
"This guy is irrational in his madness, and if he were allowed to storm the Cenarion Fortress and wreak havoc, it would probably have an unnecessary impact on the great battle that was being intensively prepared."
After slashing out the revenge of the damage blessing after slashing the defense, Sarian once again slice through the shell of the Oro heir.
Two quick deals of effective damage infuriated the poor creature with only instinct, and it targeted Sallian completely, oblivious to the backlit blades that were surrounding.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! β
Ignoring the possible damage he might receive, the heir of Oro raised his head and smashed it on the ground three times in a row.
Sarean danced on the tip of a knife, the first time he blocked the force with his weapon, and the second and third times he could only dodge with his foot.
Although Sarean's movements are not as agile as those of the thieves, he has not been weakened by heavy armor.
Narrowly avoiding the third smash, Sarren's body had been dyed an earthy yellow by the dust raised.
"Three-plate axe, huh? I don't believe you can continue to smash! β
Taking advantage of the moment when the Oro Heir's move ran out of energy, Sarian slammed the giant blow into the enemy's head.
"Hiss!"
The intense pain made the heir of Oro subconsciously raise his head and scream in pain.
Several afterimages appeared at the same time in multiple locations outside the Oroga shell, and invariably stabbed the weapons in their hands along the cracks in the shell cut by Sarjan.
For a creature of this size, the amount of poison that is often used against humanoids is obviously not enough.
But as long as the amount is large, all living things cannot avoid the effects of poisoning.
Many of the quick-acting poisons attached to the weapons were injected into the body of the Oro heir, and the fast-acting poison had begun to erode its body.
Seeing that the movements of the heirs of Oro had slowed down significantly, Salian consciously kept a hand to avoid being detected by the hive network of bugs in advance of his hole cards.
Wellles, who had already confirmed that he would not participate in the decisive battle, had no such concerns.
A circle of crimson blade whirlwinds swirled outward around Wellles, and the sharp blade easily sliced through the skin of the heir of Oro.
By the time Vellais finished his skills and landed steadily, the head of the Oro heir had been cut into a bloody blur by the whirlwind of blades.
The body of the giant burrower slammed into the ground, this time not to attack, but to the end of its life.
"Boom!"
β¦β¦
"Sure enough."
After the battle, Valeera, who was also not involved in the final blow, stood beside Salaan and pouted.
"These legendary thieves have their own tricks for pressing the bottom of the box."
"The Mentor's Killing Feast, Master Velles' Scarlet Storm, I don't know what Garona's trick is."
What is the Killing Feast? γ
[New player? The Killing Feast was formerly known and was later harmonized into the Shadow Dance Steps. γ
γβ¦β¦ Is there even the slightest resemblance between the two names? γ
[Shh~ We don't dare to say, we don't dare to ask, it's all a blessing, let's suffer it honestly. γ
Verles crouched down next to the corpse of the heir of Oro and examined it for a moment.
"From the outside, there is no trace of passive hands and feet, and it seems that the exceptional transformation comes from the soul."
When Sarren, Vellais and the others infiltrated the Rego Hive, the Druid team sent by Korda also entered the Zora Hive at the same time.
The Druid squad also ran into some trouble, as a large beetle blocked their way into the hive, but fortunately, the accompanying Minotaur Great Druid Hamuel took out the giant beetle.
When SalΓ©an and Valera brought Verles's guesses and solutions back to the Cenarion Fortress and relayed them to Korda, Hamuel and the others followed suit and returned to the fortress.
"Is the Leak of the Seal ......"
Koda rubbed his eyebrows with a headache: "It seems that this war can't be delayed any longer." β
Sarian comforted: "Actually, you don't have to be too nervous, this kind of small action to exploit loopholes is not so easy to do. β
"Not every bug can withstand the blessing of Cthun's power, and the heirs of high-level bugmen are not consumables, use one less than one."
Koda nodded solemnly: "This is good news. β
"Anyway, I'll inform Malfurion and Tyrande to make the final preparations as soon as possible, thank you for your hard work, go down and have a good rest first."
