Chapter 510 The Unlucky Leading Party
Shan Wuwu's so-called earthworms do look exactly like earthworms under normal circumstances, but the size of this so-called earthworm is completely different from that of real earthworms. Most earthworms in reality are only a few millimeters thick, and those that can grow to one centimeter in diameter are monster-level king earthworms. However, compared with the earthworm in front of me, those mutated earthworms in reality are simply weak. We can't tell the exact diameter of this so-called earthworm's body at all, because the soft bodies of these guys have completely filled the gaps between the stone forests. However, due to its soft characteristics, even if it is squeezed flat, it can pass through very narrow gaps in the stone forest without worrying about getting stuck. However, because these earthworm-like monsters are always being squeezed, we don't know what shape these guys will take if they enter a wide space. Anyway, what we can predict is that this thing can pass normally without being squeezed and deformed, and it can be transformed into a two-way six-lane mountain tunnel without any expansion.
Such a large creature is actually said to be an earthworm. This information error is a bit outrageous, right?
"Are you mistaken? If this thing is also called an earthworm, wouldn't our dragon clan be able to scare away the gecko?" Hong Yan said, looking at the giant beast that was rapidly approaching in front of him.
"This thing is really an earthworm!" Shan Wuwu said with some guilt: "It's just a little big."
"Such a big earthworm?" Christina asked.
Shan Wuwu thought for a moment and nodded, and then said: "It is indeed an earthworm! If you don't believe it, just look at it." As he said this, he raised his hand and shot a small fireball. This kind of small fireball is an entry-level magic at the sleight-of-hand level. Even Onmyoji can use it. After all, it is really just an entry-level magic. Many players will learn to use it as a lighter. It is not too convenient to light a torch and make a bonfire or something. Of course, the original function of this thing is not a lighter, but a real attack magic. However, most non-mage players usually don't have much power after learning this skill, so they can only use it as a lighter. If a magician like Christina, who specializes in shaping energy, uses it, the power of this magic will be no less than an anti-tank grenade.
The small fireball used by Shan Wuwu was less than ten centimeters in diameter, and its power was surprisingly small. Even if it is used as a torch for lighting, it is not bright enough. but. Such a weak little fireball, after hitting the big earthworm, actually blew a hole as big as a basin in the guy's body, and a lot of translucent mucus spurted out from it.
With this attack. The big earthworm that was rushing over there turned around immediately. He got back through the gap in the stone forest next to him. Then he ran a long distance faster than when he came, as fast as lightning.
"Holy shit, so weak?" Looking at the earthworm that was directly hit by a small fireball, Zhenhong's jaw almost dropped in surprise.
Shan Wuwu explained helplessly: "Actually, it's not that it's weak. It's that it's timid. Although the physical strength of this thing is indeed not very good, if they can charge forward more fiercely, relying on this size and speed alone I think it can still cause a lot of damage. But unfortunately, these things are really less courageous than mice. As long as they receive a little damage, they will immediately run towards the lair. Anyway, they are the type of weak ones."
"In this case, those female demons should really be lucky that only female demons can be infected with that curse and become such irrational monsters." Christina suddenly said this without any clue.
Radamance asked doubtfully: "Why do you have such an idea?"
Christina explained: "It's very simple! Since this kind of earthworm is the main food of the female devil, and the combat power of this thing is so weak, it means that the difficulty of the female devil getting food is almost zero. The other party happens to be It is a state of only biological energy, that is to say, it has no reason. Since there is no reason, it will definitely hunt and reproduce according to its ability. However, because the predation conditions are too good, the reproduction will definitely become uncontrolled, and the final result will definitely be an explosion. Population crisis, then the collapse of the ecosystem, and eventually all the demons will starve to death after eating all the creatures here. However, luckily the female demons here are not an independent species, they are normal female demons that become infected. It has become a morbid state, so there are no males in it, that is, it cannot reproduce. Even if the hunting difficulty is very low, the number will not increase, and the female demon body does not have the habit of hoarding food, so there will be no adverse consequences. . If there is even one male demon in this place, then I guess we can’t expect to see other demons here, because they will definitely all die due to the out-of-control population.”
A few people who didn't understand it all understood after hearing Christina's explanation. In this way, we can find female demons here thanks to the fact that there are no male demons here. Of course, it's useless even if there are, because the desire displayed by these female demons seems to be mainly focused on appetite, and the desire for reproduction may not really exist. After all, they are cursed to become like this, and they are not mutated. biology.
Now that we know that the big earthworms here are actually harmless, we don't have to worry about being attacked. He chased the big earthworm that was injured before and ran in the same direction. That guy was exactly what Shan Wuwu said. As long as he was injured, he would look for the direction of home and run all the way. However, there was a problem during this period, and that was the extent of the injury. If they are not very powerful, they will not run all the way home. Instead, after a period of time, they will find that there is no contact and get hurt, and then they will stop and continue to crawl around. Anyway, the intelligence level of this kind of thing is really almost non-existent, and almost all reactions are stress reactions.
The damage caused by the small fireball released by Shan Wuwu just now is indeed not a big injury to such a large creature. It is only equivalent to a piece of skin being rubbed off by something. Although it will hurt a little, it almost doesn't need to be ignored. , the kind that grows by itself in a few hours. So, this guy we were following ran for a short time and then stopped. But with us following him, this guy is destined to be unlucky. As soon as he stopped, he was touched again by Shan Wuwu, and then the guy started running again.
After tracking this thing for more than twenty minutes, we finally found that we had reached the edge of the cave, which is the home of those big earthworms. At the same time, we also discovered the lair of those female demons. Not to mention, it is really not far from those earthworms, because the nest is right above the earthworm nest.
"Damn, why are there so many?" (To be continued...)
