Listening to the piercing scream like chalk crossing a blackboard, Lei Xiao, surrounded by his main subordinates, frowned and looked intently.
Along with the power of breaking out of the ground, dust was stirred up everywhere, and stone bricks and fragments were flying all over the sky.
A tall and tall shadow, as big as a heavy-duty train, was roaring toward the sky in the square at night.
This is an unbelievably huge insect-like monster. Its body is section by section and covered with thick scales. It looks like a combination of an earthworm and a scorpion. Although it has no limbs, it looks very thick.
Reflected by the cold moonlight, the squirming giant insect beast exudes a strange light intertwined with earthy yellow and dark red, making people feel chills standing on end just by looking at it.
"Is it at least five stories high? It looks like it will be difficult to deal with."
Lei Xiao looked up at the sudden and terrifying insect shadow, and slowly took a deep breath.
This is still only the part exposed on the surface. As for how long it is underground, it is unknown.
But what is certain is that the energy fluctuations emitted by this thing are vast and terrifying, and have completely reached the realm of a fifth-level powerhouse.
After howling, the giant insect beast did not stay where it was. Instead, it swung its head, as if swimming in the sea, and immediately drilled a giant hole next to it.
While causing the earth to tremble and stones to fly, the giant insect beast was filled with murderous aura, and its sense of oppression was no less than that of a galloping army of thousands of horses.
At this point, Lei Xiao has also estimated the opponent's length. I'm afraid it must be at least ten floors up.
The purpose of the opponent's back and forth is also self-evident, it is obviously to dig a passage for the enemy troops that are coming later.
"What a strong and violent spirit."
Ariel looked at the huge insect shadow swimming crazily on the ground, her fair face full of surprise, her red lips slightly opened and she said: "I have never seen such a huge insect beast before."
After Ariel finished speaking, the other main subordinates beside Lei Xiao also had solemn expressions on their faces, staring intently at the ferocious behemoth in front of them.
The appearance of this guy undoubtedly exceeded the expectations of everyone present.
And our recruits who surrounded the square were all frightened, and some even dropped their weapons on the constantly shaking ground.
Not long ago, they were just a group of free farmers who could only plow the land with hoes. How had they ever seen such a horrific scene?
"It turns out that this is the culprit who opened the road from underground."
Teresa's eyebrows were twisted into knots: "I didn't expect it to be a red-blooded sandworm."
"Red-blooded sandworm?"
Hearing the solemnity in Teresa's words and feeling the trembling of the surrounding soldiers, Lei Xiao immediately asked: "Your Majesty the Holy Lady, do you know the origin of this monster?"
"For the dark elves living in the underground kingdom, red-blooded sandworms are no strangers."
Theresa nodded solemnly and began to explain.
"This is a violent insect beast that lives deep underground for a long time. It can roam freely in the soil. Although it is huge, it does not affect its body's flexibility."
"In addition, the red-blooded sandworm can not only spray extremely corrosive venom, but also has an extremely exaggerated self-healing ability. It also has extremely good magic resistance and a hard skin."
"But as far as I know, the most powerful red-blooded sandworm is only at the fourth level, but the one in front of me has obviously reached the unimaginable fifth level. It is simply unbelievable."
A hint of doubt began to appear in Theresa's voice: "There must be some unknown secret hidden in this."
"It's too late now to figure out why."
Lei Xiao's gaze remained on the giant insect shadow under the moonlit night, and he immediately asked: "Does this giant creature have any weaknesses?"
"The red-blooded sandworm lives underground for a long time, and its biggest weakness is sunlight."
Teresa smiled helplessly and answered truthfully: "And now, the cold moon is still in the sky, and the long night has just begun."
"I understand, then let's just take action forcefully."
Lei Xiao nodded to the half-elf ancestor beside him and said: "The opponent is digging a passage. We must re-encourage the morale of our soldiers as soon as possible. Go ahead and try to kill the opponent quickly."
"As you command! Lord Lord!"
Gracilaria caressed her chest and saluted, and then she flashed not far away from the giant sandworm. A space distortion visible to the naked eye appeared on the sandworm's body that emitted a strange light at an extremely fast speed.
"Ouch!"
Since all this happened in a blink of an eye, after being attacked by Gracilaria, the sharp roar of the sandworm was obviously a little louder, and it was obviously that it was completely irritated.
It opened its big mouth like petals and spurted blood, then sprang out like a python, biting towards Gracilaria, but the latter easily dodged it due to its flexible body.
Jiang Li, on the other hand, flipped his hand and tore apart space again, causing the opponent's huge body to tremble again, turning his head and digging into the soil again.
After only one round of fighting, Gracilaria, who came with its feet in the void, had the absolute upper hand.
But Lei Xiao could clearly feel that although Jiang Li's attack was extremely fierce, the sandworm was indeed rough-skinned and thick-flesh, and it hardly suffered any substantial damage.
At the same time, Lei Xiao and Ariel also came to the formation of the two new recruits and began to assist Tina and Lain in stabilizing the already scattered formation.
Seeing Your Excellency Ke Qing and Her Royal Highness the Princess arriving in person, coupled with Jiang Li's powerful attack in mid-air, the morale of the recruits was greatly boosted. They gripped their crossbows again and were ready to attack at any time.
Just as Lei Xiao stabilized his position, the fierce battle between Gracilaria and Sandworm had already begun again.
I saw that the giant sandworm, which had already suffered a loss, did not continue the close combat.
Instead, it continuously sprayed out dark red venom from the cracked bloody mouth, just like an anti-aircraft gun, and started a long-range attack.
Facing the opponent's intensive barrage offensive, Jiang Li, who can move instantly, is naturally still able to handle it with ease.
However, the constant rapid movement also made it impossible for Jiang Li to sing for a long time, and thus unable to perform more violent space tearing, and the battle became a stalemate.
"This red-blooded sandworm is harder to deal with than imagined."
Lei Xiao looked at the anxious battle situation and frowned tightly.
Just now, I had received a report of knotweed in the airport storage area.
I learned that a fifth-order sandworm also appeared there, and it began to cause chaos.
As the only fifth-level strongman there, Polygonum Weed also fought fiercely with the sandworms.
Due to the extremely thick scales of the sandworm and its terrifying self-healing ability, the knotweed side is also in a deadlock.
However, there are three new recruits stationed there, plus Lian, Ye Cang, Nan Xing, Nan Yue and most of the main subordinates are stationed there, so there is no need to worry for the time being.
"Although the opponent's elite legion has not shown up yet, as a result, two of our fifth-level powerhouses have been restrained by the opponent, leaving only Hong Ye and Teresa on the front line."
"As for Xiao Huan and Xiao Zhao, although they also have abilities comparable to those of fifth-level experts, their own combat effectiveness is extremely weak, far inferior to genuine fifth-level experts, and even inferior to peak fourth-level experts like Lian.
Without preparation, there is absolutely no chance of victory in a head-on battle."
"In addition, these two stone spirits have consumed a lot of divine power, especially Xiao Zhao, who has summoned a heavy cavalry legion once, and can no longer summon a fifth-level strongman-level combat power. If anything happens,
If I'm prepared, maybe I can ask Xiao Huan to set up an illusion, but now time is too tight and it's too late."
"But the opponent has the No. 3 black-robed man, the No. 10 black-robed man and the Black Duke, a total of three genuine fifth-level powerhouses. Once the opponent comes up with them all, plus the opponent's elite legion, the situation will be extremely serious.
It’s dangerous.”
Thinking of this in his mind, unstoppable sweat began to drip from Lei Xiao's forehead.
I originally thought that with four fifth-level powerhouses standing guard, at least I wouldn't have to be too passive.
Unexpectedly, just a short while later, the other party added two heavy weights to the scale of war, making our side once again extremely dangerous.
"Your Excellency, the only solution now is to get rid of these sandworms first!"
Teresa was obviously aware of the current crisis situation. She nodded to Lei Xiao and said, "Let me take action too."
"Then please leave it to the Holy Lady."
After hearing Theresa's words, Lei Xiao nodded slightly: "I will keep this favor in my heart."
"Let's wait until the war is over."
Teresa smiled, then her gray-black wings vibrated and flew towards the sandworm at high speed.
At the same time Theresa took action, Lei Xiao opened his mouth and ordered Hong Ye, who was stationed on the front line, to immediately go to the storage area where the tiger stick was located to help in the battle, and asked Erza to transform into Hong Ye's appearance.
In this way, we have formed a four-on-two situation. As long as we deal with these two sudden red-blooded sandworms first, everything can be relieved.
Lei Xiao had just given the order, and Theresa, who had already joined the battle, saw the opportunity and began to cast her famous binding spell.
"Shadow Binding? Hundred Chains!"
Following Theresa's cold shout, hundreds of dark magic chains shot out from Theresa's white palm.
In the blink of an eye, the overwhelming magic chains completely imprisoned the giant sandworm on the spot.
"Ouch!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, the other party screamed and turned around to dive into the ground.
However, Theresa's slender and slender body burst out with extremely powerful power, holding on to the iron chain tightly, making it impossible for the opponent to move at all.
In particular, it focuses on sealing the opponent's torn petal-shaped mouth so that it can no longer use venom to attack.
"good chance!"
Seeing this, Gracilaria suspended above the sandworm's head did not hesitate, raised his staff, chanted loudly, and used a more powerful space tear.
However, just when Jiang Li started to cast the spell, a change occurred.
Accompanied by dozens of extremely sharp sword lights flashing by.
Teresa's magic chain was immediately cut off completely, allowing the sandworm to regain its freedom.
After unlocking the restraints, the sandworm let out a sharp roar and launched an even denser barrage of venom towards Gracilaria.
In mid-air, Jiang Li was interrupted from casting a spell. Although he still hid, he looked quite embarrassed. He flashed several times in a row and then managed to stop himself.
And directly below, on the rubble-strewn ground, the figure who had cut off Theresa's chains gradually became clearer.
It is the man in black robe No. 10 who exudes vast aura and holds two swords.
"you again?"
After seeing the other party's figure clearly, Teresa's starry eyes darkened and she said coldly: "It seems you didn't learn enough lessons just now."
"Stop being so boastful. Do you think a small shadow arrow can hurt me?"
The man in black robe No. 10 sneered, and while stretching his arms casually, he said solemnly: "Originally, I was hiding in the dark, waiting for opportunities, but I didn't expect you to take action without knowing your capabilities."
After hearing the words of the man in black robe No. 10, Teresa didn't waste any time talking to him. Hundreds of shadow arrows had already condensed and shot towards the opponent.
At this point, the central square is divided into two battle situations, one side is Gracilaria and Sandworm, and the other side is Teresa and Man in Black Robe No. 10.
Looking at the changing battle situation, Lei Xiao frowned tightly.
Since the man in black robe No. 10 has been waiting here for a long time, things can't get any worse.
This undoubtedly means that the man in black robe No. 3 and the black duke are very likely to have also sneaked into Star Star City.
"Haha, it seems that the Lord of Kongqing City, who knows things like a god, has discovered something."
A strange and eerie sound sounded.
Without any warning, a black shadow exuding majestic momentum hovered above Lei Xiao's head.
Under the moonlit night, the black magic wings behind it are extremely eye-catching and exude a cold aura.
Wearing a loose black robe and a mask No. 00003 with blood stripes, it directly illustrates the identity of the other party.
It was the man in black robe No. 3 that Lei Xiao had just imagined in his mind!
"Lord, be careful!"
Facing the dark shadow approaching Chi Chi, Chaoyan and Bai Wei immediately stood in front of Lei Xiao, with solemn expressions on their faces.
Even Ariel took a step forward without hesitation, staring closely at the majestic opponent in front of her.
Because a group of people were in front of the military formation of the new recruits.
Therefore, when Tina and Laien on the side saw this, even though they were horrified, they still stood in front of Lei Xiao while shouting and quickly mobilizing their troops in an attempt to surround the sudden black-robed man No. 3.
"Don't change the formation!"
Facing the sudden desperate situation, Lei Xiao stopped the actions of the two legion commanders with a wave of his hand.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that at this close distance, facing a fifth-level and eight-star opponent, the recruits were obviously of no use.
The opponent who looks like a strong magician appears at this distance, which means that the opponent must be prepared.
In this case, once the formation changes and the original square encirclement is loosened, it will undoubtedly make the current bad situation worse.
And he still has the blessing of the Southern Cross, the absolute defense scroll and many teleportation scrolls that have already been charged, so he will not be killed by the opponent immediately.
"Oh? I'm already about to lose my life, and yet I'm still thinking about the extraordinary troops surrounding me?"
The man in black robe No. 3 looked at Lei Xiao with great interest and said solemnly: "Lord Kongqing City, let me show you what true despair is."
After finishing speaking, the murderous intent appeared in the eyes of the man in black robe No. 3, making the whole scene suddenly become tense.
