Almost at the same time, the entire "skin" shrank up, and a reptile burrowed out of the stone wall, dragging the skin bag that was constantly leaking slime and crawling quickly to the top of the cave. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But the nightingale moves faster than it does.

She emerged from the mist, and hung upside down from the top of the cave as if she were walking on the ground, in front of the reptilian - and before she could fall, a silver dagger stabbed into its head, slamming it against the stone wall.

After the bug struggled for a moment, all six slender feet fell down, and there was no longer life.

Only then did Lightning notice that the so-called "egg" was nothing more than the trunk of a reptile, except that its head and feet had been buried in the stones, so that it was covered by a large belly.

The size of this insect is completely disproportionate, the front half looks like an enlarged ant, no more than half a meter long, but the back half of the body, that is, the "skin" part that wraps the madness, can almost fit three large wine barrels, even if the mucus has spilled more than half, and the whole stomach has deflated, but the spread area is still amazingly large.

"Is that what the devil came out of the belly of this thing?" asked the little girl in surprise.

"I've never heard of anything like it," Agatha crouched down, looking at the devil with the light of the stone, "this madman...... He is already a fully fledged individual. Looking at its arms, not only do they have scars inlaid with magic stones, but they are also larger than the other one, which shows that it has used its magic power to throw spears more than once. ”

"But what about the magic stone?"

"I don't know, I guess someone took it. ”

"So this worm did it?" said Elena a with a little impatience, "it swallowed the devil in its stomach, and then hung it on the wall to digest the food, and then happened to meet us - the magic stone was lost in battle, or was directly digested, does that make sense? Don't worry about this disgusting bug, it is all that matters to find Fran." ”

Swallow it in its stomach?Lightning sneered in his heart, its mouth was enough to swallow an adult, let alone a burly madman who was close to three meters tall.

"It's a little strange...... Nightingale's voice suddenly came from the void, "it's obviously dead, why is the magic just starting to dissipate now?"

"What?" said Agatha, stunned, "you mean this devil?"

"That's right, its magic is very weak, like a mist, and I only noticed it when it rolled out of the worm's belly. But it was really lifeless at the time - at least a day or two judging by the extent of the decay of the skin. Nightingale wondered, "Isn't it impossible for magic to converge on dead things?"

"If you're not mistaken, it's weird......" Zoe nodded, plunging the sword into the stone wall, "Maybe we should take these two corpses back and study them properly." Leave a mark for now, and come back to pack them up when you've set up camp. ”

However, the group did not go far, and found several "egg worms" one after another, not all of them buried in the cave wall, some of them stood directly on the bank of the river, or among the mushrooms.

This time, everyone had experience, and each blow cut to the vital point, cutting off the heads of insects buried in the soil one by one. Dissecting the belly of the worm, in addition to the mad demons, the corpses of the heart demons and humans were also found.

This made the witches' faces very bad.

There are no human settlements outside the borderlands, so how do they catch these prey?

Or is it that the enemy has unwittingly reached into Neverwinter's territory?

At that moment, the nightingale suddenly issued a warning, "There's a magic reaction ahead!" Wait, no...... That's, Fran?"

"Where?" Elena didn't rush over immediately, but scattered with the other Divine Punishment Witches, sword in hand.

Lightning knew that in the misty world there were only black and white, and that most objects were made up of intuitive and distorted outline lines, but the magic had vivid colors, so the dark underground had no effect on the nightingale.

"Two hundred meters ahead of the left...... About four hundred paces—she seemed to be entangled in something," her voice was a little further away, and became indistinct under the noise of the splash, "and there was no ...... around I'll go first...... etc......"

Not long after, two gunshots followed-

"Bang, bang!"

The roar of the muskets was loud at the bottom of the cave, and the witches of punishment looked at each other and pushed forward in formation, while the lightning took a swift step, passing over the heads of the crowd and flying towards the place where the guns rang out, holding the revolver in their hands.

Fortunately, what she feared did not happen, and Nightingale quickly raised the glowing magic stone to show everyone the way.

At the latter's feet lay two monsters with scythe-like front claws, their heads blasted with a large hole in their heads, and blue blood dripping to the ground.

"That's what you're talking about as a hidden beast?" Lightning asked, floating in midair.

"Uh-huh, but no amount of skill can escape my eyes," Nightingale triumphantly inserted the pistol into her belt and patted the trapped Fran on the side, "I'm right?"

Fran writhed twice, making a few snorts, as if she had been gagged.

Only then did the little girl notice that the sides of the worm carrier were wrapped in white gelatinous material, which held it firmly in place, and even the giant mouth was blocked. In addition, her muscular body was covered in scars, and it was obvious that the fall out of the pit was not light.

And to her surprise, there was more than one giant worm like Fran, and there were two other devouring worms lying quietly beside her, as if they were asleep.

"This is ......" A thought suddenly popped into the flashing computer, and she fell down, brushing the moss off the ground, and a mottled stone slab appeared in front of her.

"Oh?" the nightingale whistled, "yes, it looks like we've found—"

"The ruins of the legendary snow-capped mountains!" she replied excitedly.

"What the hell is going on?" the others had only just arrived, and in order not to stretch the formation too far, the Witch of Divine Punishment had always maintained a constant pace, and it was always Elena who was at the forefront, which made Lightning's opinion of her change slightly.

"We've found Fran, and two monsters who seem to want to feed her," Nightingale explained briefly, "she's fine, just tied up and can't move." This is already part of the underground ruins, and the enemy is likely to be nearby, so let's get out of here as soon as we rescue her, and call in the First Army to set up a sentry post first. ”

Elena nodded, drew her heavy sword from her back, and sliced open the elastic gelatinous substance with three strokes and five by two—and when Fran's big mouth was free, everyone heard her growl.

"Don't look up!"

However, after hearing this, Lightning had already subconsciously raised his head.

It was pitch black overhead, and at first glance there was nothing—the hole in the ground here expanded upwards again, forming a huge space like the dome of the main hall, and the glowing magic stones could only illuminate the ground between the surrounding square inches, and the bottom of the head could not be seen at all. But the next moment, she felt the cold hairs on her body stand on end.

A scarlet eye emerged from the darkness, followed by a second, then a third......

She couldn't count how many eyes were looking at her at the same time, and thousands of eyes were like thousands of stars, condensed into a huge red disc...... It looks like a "red moon".
