Chapter 807: Among the Ruins

Almost at the same time, the entire "skin" was also rolled up, and a reptile drilled out of the rock wall, dragging the skin sac that was dripping out mucus, and quickly crawled towards the top of the cave.

But Nightingale was faster than that.

She emerged from the mist and hung upside down on the top of the cave like she was walking on the ground, blocking the reptiles—before she fell down, a silver dagger pierced into the top of its head, killing it Dead on the stone wall.

After the insect struggled for a while, its six slender legs fell down, and it ceased to breathe.

It was only then that Lightning noticed that the so-called "egg" was just the torso of a reptile, but its head and feet were buried in the stone before, so that it was covered by its huge belly.

The figure of this worm is completely out of proportion. The front half looks like an enlarged ant, with a length of no more than half a meter; but the back half, which is the "skin" part that wraps the madman inside, can almost fit. Three large wine barrels, even though more than half of the mucus has been spilled and the entire stomach is deflated, the spread area is still surprisingly large.

"Is the devil born from the belly of this thing?" The little girl asked in surprise.

"I've never heard of such a thing." Agatha squatted down, and carefully looked at the devil with the light of the magic stone. "This madman... is already a fully mature individual. Looking at its arms, not only There are scars inlaid with magic stones, and the thickness is also larger than the other one, which shows that it has used magic power to throw spears more than once."

"How about the magic stone?"

"I don't know, probably someone took it away."

"So this bug did it?" Elena said a little impatiently, "It swallowed the devil into its stomach, then hung it on the wall to digest the food, and then happened to meet us—the magic stone was in the Lost in the battle, or digested directly, does that make sense? Don't worry about this disgusting bug, the most important thing is to find Fran."

Swallow it in your stomach? Lightning cursed from the bottom of his heart, its mouth is enough to swallow an adult, let alone a burly madman who is nearly three meters tall.

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

"What?" Agatha was taken aback, "You mean this devil?"

"Yes, its magic is very faint, like a mist, and I only noticed it when it rolled out of the belly of the insect. But it was indeed dead at the time-judging from the degree of decay of the skin, at least one or two One day." Nightingale asked doubtfully, "Isn't it impossible for magic power to gather on dead things?"

"If you're not mistaken, it's really strange..." Zooey nodded, and thrust the long sword in her hand into the stone wall. "Perhaps we should take these two corpses back and study them carefully. Let's leave a mark first." , and come back to clean them up after setting up camp.”

However, the group did not go far, and found several "eggworms" one after another. They were not all buried on the cave wall, and some stood directly on the river bank or among the mushroom bushes.

This time everyone had experience, and every blow was on the vital point, cutting off the heads of the insects buried in the soil one by one. Opening the insect's belly, apart from the madman, there were also the dead demons and human corpses inside.

This made the faces of the witches very bad.

There are no human settlements outside the border area, how did they catch these prey?

Or, without anyone noticing, the enemy has already extended its tentacles into the territory of Neverwinter?

At this moment, Nightingale suddenly issued a warning, "There is a magical reaction ahead! Wait, that's not right...that is, Fran?"

"Where is it?" Elena didn't rush over immediately, but spread out with the other God's Punishment Witches, holding a sword to guard the surroundings.

Lightning knew that only black and white existed in the misty world, and most objects were composed of intuitive and distorted outlines. Only the magic power had bright colors, so the dark underground had no effect on Nightingale.

"Two hundred meters in front of the left...about four hundred steps—she seems to be entangled by something," her voice moved away again, becoming blurred under the noise of the splash, "I can't see around ...I'll go first...wait..."

Not long after, there were two gunshots——

"Bang, bang!"

The roar of the musket was particularly loud at the bottom of the cave. The God's Punishment Witches looked at each other and kept their formation to advance forward. Lightning took a step faster, passed over the heads of the crowd, and flew straight to the position of the gunshot. At the same time, the revolver gun Hold it in your hand.

Fortunately, what she was worried about didn't happen. Nightingale quickly raised the luminous magic stone to guide everyone.

At the latter's feet, lay two monsters with sickle-like front claws. A big hole was blasted out of their heads, and blue blood dripped all over the ground.

"Is this the evil beast you mentioned that can hide its figure?" Lightning asked floating in the air.

"Hmm, but no matter how brilliant your skills are, you can't escape my eyes." Nightingale proudly inserted the pistol into her belt, and patted Fran, who was firmly trapped beside her, "Am I right?"

Fran twisted a few times, and faltered a few times, as if her mouth was sealed.

Only then did the little girl notice that the sides of the worm carrier were covered with white jelly, which firmly fixed it in place, and even the giant mouth was sealed. In addition, her strong body was covered with scars, and it was obvious that the fall out of the deep pit was not easy.

And what surprised her was that there was more than one giant worm like Fran, beside her, there were actually two other devouring worms quietly lying on their stomachs, looking as if they were asleep.

"Here is..." A thought flashed through the flashing computer, she jumped down, pushed aside the moss on the ground, and a mottled stone slab suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Oh?" Nightingale whistled, "That's right, it looks like we found—"

"The legendary snow mountain ruins!" She said excitedly.

"What exactly happened?" The others arrived slowly at this moment. In order not to spread the formation too far, the God's Punishment Witch always maintained a speed, and the one who walked in the front was always Elena, which caused Lightning to Her opinion has changed a little.

"We found Fran, and there are two monsters who seem to want to feast on her," Nightingale explained briefly. "She's fine, but she's tied up and can't move. This place is already part of the underground ruins, the enemy It’s very likely that it’s nearby, we’ll get out of here as soon as possible after we rescue her, and we’ll call the First Army over to set up a sentry point first.”

Elena nodded, pulled out the heavy sword behind her back, and cut away the extremely elastic jelly with three strokes. When Fran's big mouth was freed, everyone heard her cry. growl.

"Don't look up!"

However, after Lightning heard these words, he raised his head subconsciously.

The top of the head was pitch black, and there was nothing at first glance—the cave here expanded upward again, forming a huge space like the dome of a palace. The luminous magic stone can only illuminate the ground within an inch of the surrounding area, and cannot be seen at all. The details of the top of the head. But the next moment, she felt the hairs all over her body stand on end.

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

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