Chapter 1070 Blood Mosquito

When the line of sight touched the hammer held high in the hand of the dwarf mage, Her Royal Highness's beautiful blue eyes suddenly widened, revealing a trace of unconcealable panic.

"Miss Paladin, let me give you two or three blows with the hammer to smash the hard shell that binds you, and then use the pickaxe to pry the pieces off."

"Don't worry, I will control my strength and promise not to hurt you."

Joan couldn't believe Belling's confident promise, and hurriedly stopped him from being violent.

"There's no need to use a hoe and a hammer. I know there is a spell that can rescue Audrey without risk."

"Brother Joan, what spell are you referring to?" the dwarf mage asked curiously.

"Level 3 'Liquid Alchemy'." Qiao An told the truth.

Belling stroked his chin, as if realizing something: "Do you want to use 'liquid alchemy' to transform the hard shell attached to Miss Paladin's body into clear water, which will flow down from her body automatically?"

Joan nodded and began to prepare to cast a spell.

"Wait first!" Hailar couldn't help interjecting, "You said that this solidified hard shell is a liquid? Could it be a mistake?"

"Of course it's liquid, otherwise what do you think?" Belling asked with a smile.

"But it looks like it's solid!" Hailaer argued.

"So, in your eyes, is pitch a solid or a liquid?"

"Of course it's solid!" Hailar replied without thinking.

Belling shrugged and didn't answer her further.

Joan did not participate in the argument of his companions, and concentrated on completing the "Liquid Alchemy" casting process.

"Tyáve!"

Joan pointed at Audrey, and the solidified glue attached to Her Royal Highness instantly turned into clear water, which slid down from her and sprinkled on the ground.

Joan used another "magic trick" to help Audrey clean her body and dry her clothes.

Her Royal Highness finally regained her freedom and smiled at Qiao An with gratitude in her eyes.

Seeing this scene, Hailar rubbed his nose embarrassingly, and stopped arguing with Bellin whether the mucus ejected by the blood moss was liquid or solid.

After a small storm, the expedition team continued on their way.

Joan ordered the newly subdued blood moss to go at the front of the team and clear the way.

The blood moss worm's understanding of the command "clear the way" was completely literal. While squirming forward, its mouth was close to the ground, and with a sharp inhalation, it swallowed the blood moss in front of it.

The giant worm mainly feeds on blood moss, but this does not mean that it will easily let go of living things that come close to its mouth.

In fact, the blood moss can provide very little nutrients. With the huge size of the giant worm, eating vegetarian alone is not enough to obtain the energy needed to maintain high-intensity exercise. It is inevitable to eat some meat to supplement nutrition.

Insects and small rodents inhabiting the blood moss, if they do not escape in time, will also be mixed in the blood moss, sucked into the mouth by the giant worm, as if falling into a meat grinder - the sharp teeth rotate and cut, instantly All flesh and bones were ground to pieces.

Joan turned into a bee-man form, flying around the blood moss, observing it from all angles.

Seeing the giant worm swallowing up the bloody moss along the way, leaving behind a flat sandy road, as if it had been crushed by a steamroller, Joan was surprised and suddenly realized that the "worm path" he had discovered before , which is how it was developed.

In addition, Joan also noticed that this giant worm is actually an omnivorous animal.

Don't look at it devouring blood moss with great fanfare, in fact, most of the blood moss swallowed in its mouth, especially those old and hard large moss, are blocked by the gear teeth in the mouth, like a sieve, turning its head and spitting it out. It's the curb.

Only the small and tender leaves can enter the mouth through the gaps of the gear teeth, and be chopped up by the more finely arranged inner teeth growing in the throat, before being swallowed.

If the inhalation mouth is an insect or a gopher, the giant worm will open the outer gear teeth, put this "meat dish" into the mouth, chew it and swallow it.

If you don't consider the latter special situation, just look at the feeding behavior of giant worms screening blood moss, which is actually very similar to filter-feeding organisms living in the ocean, such as baleen whales.

Comparing the two phases, it is not difficult for Joan to understand why this giant worm living on the blood tundra can grow so huge.

If it is separated from the special environment where the local blood moss vegetation is extremely rich, this giant worm is likely to starve to death because it cannot obtain enough food.

There were blood moss worms walking on the flat road ahead, and Joan and the others followed behind. They no longer had to set foot in areas overgrown with blood moss, and the risk of inhaling irritating spores was greatly reduced. They could take off their gas masks and breathe freely.

Calculated according to surface time, the expedition team set off in the morning and walked for a whole morning. The straight-line distance of 30 miles on the map has already covered more than half of it. If there is no accident, they will reach their destination this afternoon.

After driving all morning, everyone was a little tired.

In order to be able to visit Evelyn with a good spirit, Holden proposed to take a rest and take the last journey after lunch, which was unanimously approved by his companions.

Joan selected an area under the hillside as a temporary camp for the team, and then summoned the blood moss worm, ordered it to lick its head and lick it vigorously, and cleaned up all the blood moss on the land, exposing the gravel ground.

Joan restrained the bee wings and landed, and changed back to human form. Taking advantage of his lunch break, he took the time to study the blood moss he had subdued.

Joan first performed the 2-ring "Advanced Internal Vision" to check the physical condition of the blood moss.

...

Reconnaissance target: blood moss (large magical beast, insect subspecies)

Attributes: Strength 25, Dexterity 10, Constitution 20, Intelligence 1, Wisdom 10, Charisma 8

...

After checking the physical attributes of the blood moss, Joan nodded with satisfaction.

Super high strength and physical attributes, completely in line with the huge image of the blood moss.

Although the intelligence attribute is not high, at least it has 1 point. It maintains the basic dignity of "magic beast", and it is much smarter than the insects in nature - those with less than 1 intelligence.

In addition to a strong body and a powerful jaw with a precise structure like a "meat grinder", the blood moss also has a secret weapon, which is the raised glands under the tentacles.

The mucus emitted by the glands is comparable to superglue, which quickly hardens when it encounters air, and can firmly hold the prey in place, temporarily losing its ability to move.

Even a paladin like Audrey couldn't break free from the shackles formed by the blood moss mucus hardening, which shows that this secret weapon is quite powerful.

Based on a comprehensive calculation, the combat effectiveness of the blood moss is stronger than that of the big stag beetle, bomber beetle and large mutant spider that Joan has come into contact with before.

Even the "worm-shaped magical beast" Dig Worm was no match for the Blood Moss Worm in a head-to-head duel.
