Chapter 2457 Death Knell Beetle (Ⅱ)

With the help of the "peeping magic eye", Qiao An observed the situation inside the nest, and quickly switched the observation perspective back to the main body, and continuously stimulated the power of two myths. Shield", and then switched the "Crystal Amulet" worn by himself from the acid-proof mode to the sonic-proof mode.

"Little mage, what's the matter?" The old boggard asked nervously, "Did the knell beetle find us?"

"A large group of beetles is about to rush out, get ready to fight." Joan replied in a deep voice.

"Quack! Come on, come on, only worms are afraid of toads in the world, and there is no reason for toads to be afraid of worms!"

The old boggard man was just talking tough, but in fact he didn't dare to hold it back at all. He raced against time to cast spells, first covering himself and Joan in the "Insect Repelling Barrier", and felt that it was not safe, so he cast the 6-ring "Stone Wall Technique", A ten-foot-thick granite wall rises from the ground, blocking the exit of the insect nest tightly.

Joan looked at the old boggard man in surprise, not sure of his intentions for a moment—blocking the exit, the death knell beetle would not be able to get out, but how could he catch the beetle?

Elder Gua saw the confusion in his eyes, smiled secretly, raised his hand to touch the stone wall, and cast the 3-ring "Stone Shaping Technique" to cut out a three-foot-wide and five-foot-high gate in the center of the stone wall, facing the tunnel. , can only accommodate one adult death knell beetle or at most two nymphs entering and exiting at the same time.

Elder Gua retreated to a safe place, stroking his swollen belly with a smug expression on his face.

"Young man, I want to teach you a little life experience, which is called 'despise the enemy strategically, and value the enemy tactically'."

"As expected of you old man, your stomach is full of bad water!"

Tucao is back to Tucao, Qiao An has to add some supplements to Elder Gu's tactics. He took out a piece of red and black dry root hair from the spell-casting material bag, held it in his hand, chanted a spell, poured magic power, and threw it out.

"Yal!"

The seemingly inconspicuous dry roots swelled rapidly the moment they landed, and turned into a large group of "blood-sucking roots" in a blink of an eye, as if a small hill rose from the ground, almost filling the cave where Joan and Gumoduo were. Countless twisted and wriggling roots stretched out, like ten thousand snakes moving, shocking.

"Little mage, what kind of spell did you cast just now? The ghost thing you summoned... looks so scary!"

Elder Gu was squeezed into a corner by the huge "blood-sucking root system", and his back was pressed against the rock wall, wishing to shrink into a ball of air, lest he be entangled by the evil-shaped creeping roots.

"'Flying flowers all over the sky', a 7-ring spell I invented myself." Joan replied.

"The name of the spell is quite literary, but the ghost thing you summoned is too disruptive."

Joan himself also felt that the image of "Vampire Root System" was too ghostly, so he smiled embarrassedly, and then sent a spiritual command to the "Brood Will" of Root System, ordering it to sneak into the ground.

The "blood-sucking root system" danced countless roots and dug on the spot, slowly sinking, and within a minute, the huge body completely disappeared into the depths of the soil, and the surface became flat and open.

Gumoduo walked to the top of the plot where the "Vampire Root System" was hiding, stomped his feet tentatively, and asked Qiao An worriedly: "Little mage, the monster you summoned will not accidentally hurt your own people, right?"

"Of course not. The 'Vampire Root System' is hidden underground to prevent the death knell beetle from bypassing the barrier you set up, digging tunnels from the ground, and launching a sneak attack on us."

After listening to Joan's explanation, the old swamp toad suddenly realized that there was a serious loophole in his tactics.

He ignored that the death knell beetle is good at digging and digging holes. Once he finds that the exit of the nest is blocked by a stone wall, he can skip the narrow passage he reserved and instead dig a tunnel to bypass the stone wall and launch a surprise attack from under his and Joan's feet. , In this way, he was wasting his efforts.

Now Joan sent the "Vampire Root" to lurk underground. If the Death Knell Beetle tried to dig a tunnel, it would bump into this huge monster head-on, and be ravaged by countless blood-sucking roots. The end would be miserable.

At this time, rustling and rubbing sounds came from the tunnel, and the first death knell beetle poked its head out. The chitinous bell-shaped organ on the top of its head shook slightly, making a buzzing sound, as if using echoes to identify whether there were natural enemies lurking in the cave. .

"Unfortunately, it's a nymph."

The old bogman stared at the big beetle poking around, muttered to himself in disappointment, then waved his wand, and pulled away a blazing wall of fire against the stone wall.

The death knell beetle was scalded by the wall of fire that rose suddenly, shrieked and retracted into the tunnel, and through the wall of fire, it sent a sharp and piercing shock wave at the enemy opposite with the trumpet above its head!

boom!

The moment the wall of fire was impacted by sound waves, a big gap was forcibly blown open, and the sound waves blasted Joan and Gumodo.

Fortunately, both of them blessed the "Suppressing Sound Ball" in advance, and they were unscathed.

After the impact of the sound waves, the wall of fire closed again, as if out of revenge, a blazing heat wave erupted toward the depths of the tunnel. Many death knell beetles that were blocked behind the stone wall were burnt unexpectedly, screaming one after another.

As if realizing that trapping the nest is not a long-term solution, the death knell beetles activated their cleverer brains than most of the insects in nature, and divided into two groups, one forcibly breaking through from the front, while the other group dug tunnels, Try to bypass the blockade of stone walls and fire walls, and attack the enemy from both sides.

Through the "peeping eye" hidden in the nest, Joan can clearly see the movements of the death knell beetles.

Don't worry about the group of beetles digging holes, the "blood-sucking root system" is waiting for them to die, but the group of bugs protruding from the front need to be more prepared.

The behavior of the death knell beetle is similar to that of ants, and it is a true social insect. In order to maintain the continuation of the group, individuals will not hesitate to sacrifice their lives. Knowing that there is a mountain of swords and fires ahead, they still charge in groups, douse the fire with their own blood, and use their own corpses to fill up the companions behind them. flat sinkhole.

This kind of fearless insect swarm was the most difficult to deal with. Qiao An didn't dare to be careless. He held a ruby ​​tightly in his left hand, made a spell-casting gesture with his right hand, and chanted the spell that symbolized "Yang Yan".

"Ancalima!"

The giant golden palms appeared out of thin air in response to the sound, and the radiance emitted illuminated the underground grotto.

Qiao An quickly transformed into the form of "Advanced Beeman", remotely controlled the "Yangyan Palm" with a power attribute of 40 points, and slapped towards the exit of the tunnel.

Boom!

As if a muffled thunder echoed in the closed grotto, the two nymphs who had just forced their way out of the barrier of the fire wall were shattered by the giant golden palm that fell from the sky, dragging blood, crawled two steps forward with difficulty, and then received another palm , had to give up struggling.

Elder Gu maintained his focus on casting the "Wall of Fire" spell, and at the same time devoted part of his mind to observing the death knell beetle that came out of the cave—if he saw an adult beetle, he would remind Joan to be merciful, catch it by himself, and accept it as an animal companion.
