Chapter 839: Ruby (Ⅰ)
Audrey was not in a hurry to shoot again.
The shot just now had already created a psychological deterrent to the enemy.
She knew very well that the "Dragonlance Spear" in her hand could maintain maximum deterrence only when she was ready to go.
Once the shot is really fired, the opponent has no choice but to cut off the fluke mentality, and can only go all out to fight his own side.
At that time, the "Dragon Knight Gun" is too bulky, and the shortcomings of the slow loading and firing process will be exposed, which will weaken its deterrent effect.
Joan was also relieved to see Hailaer and Zion siblings returning safely.
After an unexpected change, the two groups that participated in tonight's battle finally reunited.
After a brief exchange, Joan learned that the second group made full use of the "Refuge Cabin" scroll he gave to Holden without the cooperation of the first group, and successfully dragged Peridon down when he returned to the lair.
After a series of fierce battles, more than half of Peridon returned to the nest with casualties, while Hailar and Zion siblings rested and healed calmly under the cover of the "shelter hut", and their physical fitness and health were still in good condition.
The remaining Peridon, after repeatedly attacking the hut and being frustrated, realized that there was no hope of regaining the lair, so he had to accept the reality, and fled the lair one after another, trying to find a way out.
Hailar and the Zion siblings took advantage of the momentum to chase and kill another wave. In the end, there were only five Peridons who managed to escape, and they were all seriously injured, so it was no longer a concern.
After solving the enemies in the nest, Hailaer and Zion siblings hurried out to support the first group where Qiao An and others were, and happened to arrive in time at a critical moment.
Audrey's shot just now not only resolved the crisis faced by Joan and the others, but also reversed the situation on the battlefield.
Joan and the others joined the three strong supporters, and their strength surpassed that of the "Insectization Trio" on the opposite side, firmly grasping the initiative on the battlefield.
Audrey gave Arnold a wink, and each led a team of four to surround the bushes in two ways.
Jenny, Sean and Peter, who were hiding in the bushes, all changed their faces when they saw this.
The three looked at me and I looked at you, all hesitating whether to continue fighting, or to retreat before being surrounded.
Just when they were hesitating, there was a sudden wave of magic power in front of them, and a teleportation light array appeared in the open space between the opposing sides.
This change was beyond the expectation of everyone on both sides, they all stopped and looked at the teleportation array in astonishment.
In the beam of light that soared into the sky, a vague figure quickly emerged, and its outline looked like a large raptor soaring with its wings outstretched.
When it completed the teleportation and flapped its wings and flew out of the teleportation light array, people were surprised to find that it was a huge mosquito!
This giant mosquito is about five feet long from head to tail, and is almost as tall as an adult. It quickly flaps its two transparent membranous wings with clusters of veins. With the help of the pair of "balance bars" behind the wings, it hangs gracefully in the air. It emits the unique chirping of mosquitoes, but the volume is louder than that of ordinary mosquitoes, comparable to the sound of a violin.
Joan stared at the sudden arrival of the giant mosquito, his eyes gradually became hot.
Except for the transparent membranous wings and pitch-black slender long legs, the giant mosquito is crimson all over, full of glamour, like a work of art carved out of a whole ruby.
Even each group of small eye surfaces that make up the pair of huge compound eyes has a red luster of different shades and a gradual transition, like an open jewelry box, shining brightly under the moonlight.
If it is not limited to the aesthetic perspective of human beings, from a broader perspective, this giant mosquito can be described as extremely beautiful.
What stirred Qiao An's heart even more was that at the same time as the giant red mosquito was teleported over, the "Tears of God" was automatically activated, sending a long-lost reminder into his mind.

...
Just when Qiao An and the others were deeply surprised by the sudden arrival of the giant red mosquito, the expressions of the three worms on the opposite side were different.
"Ruby! Why are you here!"
The Wasp exclaimed aloud, with a trace of panic clearly showing in her eyes.
The giant red mosquito named Ruby turned her head and glanced at her, and with a humming tone, laughed like a young girl.
"Sister Jenny, long time no see, Ruby, me, and the master miss you very much."
The blood-colored giant mosquito spoke human language, but some words and syntax sounded weird.
"Forget it, you only learned hypocrisy from your hypocritical master!"
The Wasp snorted coldly, turned her head to one side, and ignored the friendly greeting from the giant red mosquito.
The hostile attitude of the giant red mosquito towards her did not seem to be surprising. With a smile in his eyes, he turned to look at the mantis man and the spider man.
"Sean, Peter, how are you doing recently?"
"I'm afraid it's not very good, beautiful 'Miss Ruby', as you can see, our mission is not going well."
The chunky Spider-Man shrugged and smiled wryly.
"It didn't go well, but since you are here, Ruby, sister Josephine must arrive soon, and our troubles will be solved."
The praying mantis monk seemed very optimistic.
"That's it... If you two don't try to catch me and eat me like other praying mantises or spiders, I'd be more than happy to help you solve your troubles."
The giant mosquito known as "Miss Ruby" actually made a joke with a sense of humor.
Both Sean and Peter were amused by Ruby's one-liner, but Wasp curled her lips, as if she was angry.
"Hey! What's going on? I'm so confused!"
The scene in front of him made Hailaer feel that his brain was not enough, so he repeatedly slapped his forehead.
"It's okay to be a 'wormy man', after all, human nature dominates, but what's going on with this big mosquito?"
"She is indeed a mosquito, right? How can she speak human language, and she behaves like a little girl!"
"This may be because...she was given an 'enlightenment' by a high-level druid, turning from an ordinary giant mosquito into a creature with advanced intelligence."
Holden rubbed his chin to make a guess.
The auditory organs of "Miss Ruby" - the pair of curved and drooping tentacles on her forehead - are very sensitive. Hearing the whispered discussions of Hyrule and Holden, she turned around and gave them a chuckle.
"Big sister, good evening! Ruby, I am a little girl!"
"The poet's little brother is right. Ruby was indeed given the 'enlightenment' technique. However, Ruby's magic is more than that. If you are willing to be friends with Ruby, I will tell you more About my own secret."
Hailar and Holden looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. Asking them to be friends with a big mosquito, even a smart one that can talk, is somewhat psychologically disturbing.
"Being friends with you, I can know your secrets, are you sure?"
Joan spoke suddenly, and there was eagerness in his words.
Ruby took a deep look at him, her eyes flickered, and her expression became very strange.
After a long time, this "Miss Ruby" let out a coquettish moan.
"Only you are the exception!"
"Ruby, I don't want to be friends with you!"
