Digging worms.

The insect monsters living in the southern region are about five feet wide (1.5 meters) and can reach thirty feet (10 meters) in length. They have the characteristics of perceiving tremors and can judge slight vibrations within 60 feet. The ground-digging insects have a pair of giant jaws that can bite trees and bite and attack prey. They will also produce strong acid in their bodies, causing corrosion damage to the enemy. They look like huge insects, with 6 to 12 slender legs and sharp claws on them.

At the same time, the ground-digging insects can also carry out a fatal strong acid spray attack on the enemy. If the damage of the strong acid cannot be saved, it will cause the target to die on the spot!

Even if you survive by chance, you will suffer very serious corrosion and injury.

This is not the deadliest.

What is even more fatal is that the digging insects are small group organisms. Most digging insects are grouped in 2-5 groups. They like to eat fresh meat, but they are also scavengers.

This creature tends to be neutral and rarely attacks actively without hunting.

But if you are considered food by it, then your situation will be very dangerous!

The number of digging insects is not very large.

They mainly live in the southern region and only live in a specific geographical environment. Generally, unless there is any event, the digging worms rarely leave the area where they are active. At the same time, there are basically no digging worms in the north because they like wet and soft soil. The land in the north seems too hard because of the cold, and is not suitable for the digging worms to survive. (Biological characteristics!)

This is also the reason why the caravan guards cannot determine the ground-digging insects!

"Get out of here first!"

Sauron looked around and said in a voice: "This kind of monster will lurk underground, and it is difficult for us to take the initiative to discover them."

"Don't disperse everyone!"

"The diggers can sense our footsteps, and they like to attack the lonely prey!"

A piece of information came to Sauron's heart, but it was a challenge to the ground-digging worms:

"Ground-digging insects [swarm] (third level)."

"Challenge Level 8, Biological Level 10, has strong acid spraying ability."

"The highest attribute is 20 points, the lowest attribute is 10 points, and the total attribute value is 80-90 points."

"Special expertise: strong acid spraying, corrosion damage, bite attack."

“Challenge Difficulty: B+.”

The challenge level of the ground-digging worm is higher than that of the abyss snake demon, because this kind of creature is elusive and can drill underground, and there are several of them as soon as it appears at the same time.

Once a professional killer for many adventurers!

If it is a small team of adventurers, once they are attacked by them, just the first round of strong acid spraying, the members of the team will die.

Dealing with this kind of bug requires strong "detection" and "listening" abilities.

otherwise.

You need the skill of "survival in the wild" to determine their location so that you can avoid being attacked by them.

Sauron stepped back carefully.

Others also seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter, pulled out their weapons and evacuated outside at the same time.

"Ground-digging worm."

“Don’t they appear very rarely?”

Soren carefully observed the surroundings, while focusing on the movements underground, and said to himself: "Has the incident of the digging worm storm been triggered?"

"Damn it!"

"Although I have killed these insects before, I have never noticed when they ran away."

"Then who will complete the task!"

It was around the same time period.

There are many major events in this world, including the skinning incident, the Son of God, the Ancient Red Dragon, the migration of giants, etc., so Sauron has no energy to pay attention to small things like the ground-digging worms. If the major events that have happened in succession are divided into one level, the skinning incident is level B, the Son of God is level A, and the birth of the ancient red dragon is a special event of the A+ level. As for small things like the ground-digging worms, there is no E+ level in the event level.

Unless such an incident happens to happen around you, it is convenient for you to contact and understand the task.

Otherwise, very few people will pay attention to them deliberately.

but.

The digging worm is a very rare insect creature.

They are dangerous and have amazing value!

Because their shells are very hard and light, if you can ask a blacksmith with superb skills (forged 300 points), the shell of the digging worm can create an armor equivalent to a full body armor, and the weight is only one-third of the full body armor. In many places, such a pair of digging worm armor can reach 3,000 Jindlers.

Even if you sell the materials out of stock, you can reach the value of 600-800 Jindler!

but.

Only those skilled blacksmiths will buy it, and it will be useless if others buy it.

The shell of the digging worm can only be created through special enchanting methods. After the creation is completed, the size of the digging worm armor is customized. Therefore, if you can't encounter such a skilled blacksmith, the only way is to get off the head shell of the digging worm. It is a natural +1 shield, with good defense and corresponding strong acid resistance.

If you can kill a ground-digging worm, the benefits you get may be higher than killing the snake demon!

"hiss!"

A strange sound suddenly came from the ground. When Soren and others retreated, they suddenly found a large bulge of grass beside the road. Then a huge worm with a ferocious face drilled out from the ground. It opened its mouth and suddenly bit a horse, and instantly bit the horse's head. Large swells of blood gushed out, and only a dead horse with a head and body separated from its body was left on the ground.

What a strong bite force!

Sauron's pupils shrank and he hid quickly behind a big tree.

The digging worm has the ability to spray strong acid once a day, which is a killer move for low-level professions, and its power is equivalent to a spell-strong acid arrow!

Several caravan guards around him also dodged, and took out powerful crossbows from their bodies to shoot.

"Cover me!"

The captain of the guard roared, pulled out the sword behind him, and his figure became a little larger. Earthworm-like blue veins appeared on his thick arms, and his skin turned red due to excessive blood congestion. With his roar, another caravan guard rolled in place, took out a small round shield to block his chest, and filled the special crossbow arrows in at the same time.

"violent!?"

Sauron's eyes froze and he murmured: "Northern Barbarians?!"

boom.

A slight explosion sounded, and after the crossbow arrow shot on the ground-digging worm, an explosion immediately occurred.

The digging worm immediately turned its head to the caravan guard. A jingling sound came out. Except for the bursting crossbow arrow, the other crossbow arrows shot on its shell and bounced out. Only a small number of them hit the spot where there was no shell on it. As mentioned earlier, the carapace of the digging worm is equivalent to the full body armor, so its front protection is also at the same level as the full body armor. Ordinary crossbows have no effect on it at all. Only by hitting the key points can it cause effective attacks.

——"Strong acid spray!"

A thick dark green liquid was sprayed out by the ground-digging worms. The caravan guard rolled away in a mess, but part of it fell on him. The small round shield in the target's hand was easily corroded, and the strong acid liquid sputtered on his arm quickly corroded the leather armor, and the flesh and blood on his body also emitted a stream of blue smoke.

The caravan guard screamed in pain, gritted his teeth and pulled out his weapon to cut off a piece of flesh from his shoulder!

——"Heavy slash!"

The guard captain's pupils gradually turned red, and the bones in his body made crackling sounds. He held the sword in both hands and jumped, and directly slashed at the head of the digging worm at a height of five meters!

Bang!

The sound of metal hitting came out.

The ground-digging worm let out a scream, shook his head and hit it. The captain of the guard turned around to avoid the fangs, held the sword in his back hand and stabbed behind him.

The weak skin area was penetrated, and a dark green liquid gushed out from it.

"Level 3 warrior/Northland barbarian!"

Soren didn't expect that the captain of the guard looked like he was not leaking, and his profession level was above ten. He held the scimitar and turned around, then rolled out from behind the big tree, and ran over the sight of the ground-digging worm and ran over from the side. The ground-digging worm had launched a strong acid spray, which greatly reduced the danger to Soren. As long as he avoided its sharp teeth, it would not be fatal even if he was attacked once or twice!

How can you not strive to gain experience in killing at this time?!

"Give me a crossbow!"

Sauron let out a low roar, and the nearby caravan guards reacted quickly and instantly threw the powerful crossbow in his hand.

Say!

The speed of Sauron's finger almost turned into a afterimage, and he completed the filling in an instant, shooting an arrow at the big mouth of the digging worm.

"Attack its jaw."

He threw away the fired crossbow, held the scimitar in one hand and swooped upwards. When he passed by the ground-digging worm, he bent his knees and slid over. The scimitar cut a two-foot-long hole in the front skin of the ground-digging worm.

clang!

The captain of the guard still attracted the attention of the digging worms on the front. A pair of sharp claws on his lower limbs scratched his chest. Fortunately, he was still wearing leather armor, leaving only a shallow blood mark.

"roar!"

The wild roar echoed, and the captain of the guard held the sword and slashed it down, slashing the limbs on the side of the digging worm.

After passing the ground-digging worm, Sauron rolled up with one hand and did not stop at all. He actually stepped on the back of the ground-digging worm and jumped up. The ground-digging worm's upright height reached nearly five meters, which is the height of a floor. Half of its body was still under the soil. Sauron's legs leaped violently, then held the scimitar with both hands and stabbed straight under the head of the ground-digging worm!

"die!"

A stream of dark green blood spurted out, and a burning pain appeared on Sauron's arm.

The huge body of the digging worm began to tremble and sway, splattering the surrounding soil, but Sauron did not retreat at all. Instead, he clamped its head tightly with his feet to ensure his sense of balance and strength. At the same time, he held the hilt of the scimitar with both hands and twisted it! His expression was slightly ferocious, and the splashed blood fell on him, and some of his clothes had been slightly corroded.

boom!
