readx;
Like a hedgehog, the needleworm is covered with spikes, the size of a fist, and has a spike-like straw mouthpiece nearly half a foot long, and the spikes on its body are nearly three inches long, and the whole body is dark, and the spikes contain severe poison. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info needle worm can reach the cultivation equivalent to the primal realm, that is to say, the highest can be promoted to the twelfth level demon insect, and the maximum threshold for promotion is the tenth level limit.
Of course, the needleworms don't have any intelligence, but they instinctively know that the red ray grass can help break through the tenth level, so they occupy this piece of red ray grass. Needleworms don't usually suck red ray grass, but when they advance to level 9 and break through the level 10 limit, they will instinctively suck some of the sap of red ray grass, which increases their probability of advancing a lot.
Needleworms belong to a group of demon insects, this group of needleworms due to the assistance of red ray grass juice, there are nearly 300 of them have broken through the limit of level 10, reached the realm of 11 or 2 levels, and the fecundity is naturally not a problem, there are tens of thousands of needleworms in this area.
Long Xiaoyao didn't dare to challenge this large group of needleworms head-on, but he didn't want to give up either. Although this swamp is the main production area of red ray grass, red ray grass is a medicinal herb that many races need, although it is only useful when it is advanced, but due to the large number of users, there is not much left, he searched the swamp for more than 20 days, and only found this piece of red ray grass.
After searching the swamp for more than thirty days without finding the red ray grass again, he had to return to the area where the red ray grass grew. Of course, he didn't dare to directly challenge the large group of needleworms, but secretly observed the living habits of those needleworms. Adult needleworms do not need to go out to forage for food, but needleworms below grade 8 do.
Needleworms feed through their mouthparts via a straw, and their diet is varied, absorbing both plant juice and animal fluids. Needleworms going out to forage for food is also a group behavior, usually thousands of them are dispatched together, and there are two high-level needleworms in the Taichu Realm leading the team, no demon insects dare to challenge them casually, and there are no other flying insects within tens of miles.
Long Xiaoyao decided to attack the needleworms that went out to forage, although there are a lot of these needleworms, but the needleworms belong to the gold demon insects, their attack power is strong, but the defense is very average, and they are also afraid of thunder and lightning, dealing with thousands of needleworms, especially the only two needleworms that break through the ten-level limit, it should not be too difficult.
When the dragon waited for the needleworms to form a group to go out to forage again, he flew directly to the front of the needleworms, about thirty miles away from the nest of the needleworms. He was worried about alarming the large number of needleworms that were entrenched, and if he was besieged by so many needleworms, he would not be a match for those needleworms.
Needleworms rely on their sense of sight and smell to find food, and even if they are level 12 needleworms, the effective detection range is only about 20 miles. This is also the reason why the individual strength of low-level insect monsters is generally weaker than that of other monsters, but the huge number makes up for the lack of strength, and these insect monsters don't know what it means to be afraid of death, once they are besieged, no matter how powerful the opponent is, they will feel a headache.
The dragon flew to a position several miles in front of the group of needleworms, and quickly prepared the two arrays. Due to the swamp below, it was impossible to place a circle on the ground. However, his Nine Songs Ecstasy Array was the best magic circle to deal with low-level demon beasts, and the flying insects that didn't have any intelligence entered the Ecstasy Array, so they were only left to be beaten passively.
Although needleworms are omnivorous monsters, they prefer to eat blood. There was no large-scale blood food in the area of the swamp, and after discovering the dragon, he immediately flew towards his location excitedly. The needleworm is like an oval-shaped ball of flesh, the ball of flesh is covered with spikes, and only the forelimbs have thin wings like bats, and the speed of flight is not fast.
Two twelfth-level stinging needleworms flew first, and Long Xiaoyao immediately launched the defensive magic array Xuanwu Array, activated the magic circle, and immediately a transfiguration Xuanwu spirit turtle appeared, and his position was in the center of the Xuanwu turtle, and the Xuanwu tortoise shell was the defensive barrier of this magic circle.
The Xuanwu Array is a magic circle in the Ascension Period, which is formed by drawing on the laws of the Northern Xuanwu Seven Stars, and it is precisely because this kind of magic array contains a trace of the law energy of the Xuanwu Seven Stars, and its defensive power is extremely strong, and it is the strongest defensive power in the magic circle mastered by Long Xiaoyao.
Two needleworms flew to the back of the transfiguration basalt turtle and rushed directly at the transfiguration tortoiseshell with their bodies. Breaking through the tenth-level limit, the strength of the needle worm has made a qualitative leap compared to the original, and the flight is no longer just by virtue of the natural meat wings, but can use its own demon yuan power to assist in flight, and the speed is much faster than that of other needle worms.
Seeing the two needleworms crashing into the defensive barrier, Long Xiaoyao immediately sacrificed Zhou Tian's sword, and the pressure of the sword array immediately trapped the needleworms in mid-air, while the fierce qi concentrated on the two needleworms, and attacked them together with thunder and lightning.
Although the two stinging insects were already level twelve, flying was not their specialty, and at this time, the power of the sword array was concentrated in a space of less than two meters, and they directly cast the stars to reverse the sword momentum, and the solidified space was as solid as pouring molten steel, and the two stinging needle insects were suddenly powerless to move.
At the same time, Gang Qi and Thunder and Lightning also attacked the bodies of the two needleworms, although the defense of the needleworms was not high, but the twelfth-level needleworms also greatly increased because they broke through the tenth-level limit. Although the needle worm is only a low-level demon insect, once it breaks through the tenth-level limit, although it is impossible for them to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth, they can open a bloodline awakening, so as to inherit the natural supernatural power.
The natural ability of the needle worm is spike shooting, and all the spikes growing on the body can shoot out and hurt the enemy. Although the needleworm did not inherit any defensive powers, the awakening of the bloodline can improve the various abilities of the needleworm by leaps and bounds, including the defense power, plus the twelfth-level needleworm is already a deep demon element, but it can still resist the attack of the sword formation for a while.
Although the two needleworms were not fatally injured for the time being, they were already in pain and numbness all over their bodies. The needleworm is the largest race in this area, how could he have suffered such a big loss, the two needleworms immediately instinctively unleashed the strongest attack, a large number of spikes on the body shot out like arrows, flying towards the transformation turtle below.
The spikes of the needle worm are their strongest weapon, and the spike attack of the twelfth-level needle worm is no weaker than that of the lower grade immortal treasure, and the spike also contains deadly poison, the spike passes through the solidified space, and the flying stab is on the transformation tortoise shell, and the tortoise shell suddenly has a hole.
