When the too shrill screams resounded from the maze and reached everyone's ears, everyone, including Li Ge, stopped.
"It's Raul's voice!"
Tiona shouted.
"Captain!"
Thione was also panicked.
"Miss Ace!"
Lefia was at a loss.
Ais frowned and was about to rush out when Rige grabbed her wrist.
"coming!"
Li Ge grabbed Aisi's hand, but his gaze penetrated a fork in the road like a sharp blade.
There, a tremor spread from far to near, intensified, and gradually came towards this side.
Not long after, several figures rushed out of the fork in the road.
"Captain!"
Thionne's worries turned into joy.
Unfortunately, she was happy too early.
"Run!"
Finn, who was at the front, was the most agile, and was known to everyone in Orario as a little human hero, a real 6, at this moment he actually shouted these words to Li Ge and others.
Behind him, Grace and Bert, who had always been fearless, were actually running away in a hurry. As a supporter, Raul was being carried by Bert. His whole body was covered with black smoke and a putrid smell. It looked like
Dying.
Before everyone could react to this shocking situation, that one appeared.
The color that occupies the whole body is yellow-green.
The swollen and seemingly tender green skin has colorful lines throughout.
Countless short legs formed the lower body, and the upper body seemed to be resting on the long lower body, bulging like a hill. Flat arms with no thickness stretched out from the left and right sides, and there were four slits at the front end. It looked a bit like
finger.
That's a worm.
In other words, it was a monster that looked like a worm.
The worm-shaped monster that vibrated up and down as it moved forward was four meters tall. It was so huge that it hit the ceiling. Its horizontal width was almost the same as both ends of the road. It was like blocking the passage.
Colliding into the maze with a crash, chasing after Finn and others.
"Then, what is that!?"
Lefiya couldn't help but let out a scream, her face turned pale with fright.
Not to mention Lefia, Ais, Tiona, and Tione all subconsciously took a step back, looking horrified.
The first-level adventurers of Tangtang 5, the talented cadres of Loki Familia, were frightened by that disgusting monster that was physically unacceptable.
Only Li Ge started singing without hesitation the first time he saw Finn and others.
"[The sun in the sky is chasing after you, everything is trying to escape from you]."
"[Bloom, Armor of Laurel]."
"[Lamoureux]."
The dark green light film flickered and enveloped Finn, Grace and Bert one by one, causing the three people's speed to suddenly increase.
"This is?"
The three people in the group were stunned for a moment, and then heard Li Ge's voice again.
"[The light arrow of liberation, the bow stem of the sacred tree, I am the master of the bow]."
"[Stop it, Fairy Archer]."
"[Penetrate it, it's a sure target]."
"[Arc Ray]."
The next moment, an arc of light blasted out like a beam, grazing the heads of Finn and others, and hit the giant worm monster.
“Ahhhhh——!”
There was a big explosion as if the monster's whole body was on fire, causing most of its charging body to be burned directly, and it screamed like a broken gong.
This situation finally alleviated some of the situation, allowing Finn and others to rely on the reinforcement provided by protective magic to quickly get rid of the pursuit of the worm monster.
"Captain!"
Seeing Finn and others escaping from danger, Tione cried with joy and prepared to go forward.
But the expressions of Finn and others did not relax.
"Let's go!"
"Don't freeze there!"
"You idiots! Run away!"
Finn, Grace, and Bert rushed towards Li Ge and others while shouting.
"Walk!"
Li Ge was still the first to react, picked up Lefia who screamed in surprise, turned around and ran away.
Ais followed almost subconsciously.
Only Tiona and Tione, after being stunned for a while, finally understood why Finn and others wanted to flee. Even Li Ge chose to retreat without hesitation.
Because, there is not just one monster chasing after him.
When the first worm monster was knocked down by Li Ge's magic, another worm-shaped monster appeared one after another behind it, overwhelming the bodies of its companions and rushing straight towards this side.
"is that a lie!?"
"Run!"
Tiona screamed, Tione also turned pale, and the two of them turned around and ran away without hesitation.
At this moment, the strongest men and geniuses among Loki's family members were able to escape others' eyesight and fled in panic.
Fortunately, the reinforcement of [Lamoureux] has been in effect, otherwise, they might not be able to escape the pursuit of those giant worm monsters.
"Then, what on earth is that? Finn!"
Tiona finally caught up with Finn and others, yelling at Finn.
"I don't know." Finn looked at the light film covering himself and others, then glanced at the calm Li Ge, and said: "At least, in my memory, there is no information about that kind of monster."
This is a very remarkable thing.
You know, as the leader of the Familia, Finn has always been a person who makes decisions before taking action. Every time he goes on an expedition to the dungeon, he will not only write down the information about the monsters on each floor, but also the map of the maze.
In terms of memory, Finn is not inferior to Li Ge at all. Even the terrain of the 51st floor, the leader of the clan clearly remembers it. He is leading the way from the front without even looking at the map.
He ran with a trace of hesitation. Even if the road was twisting and turning and there were many forks, he would directly choose the path and rush in. It didn't look like running around at all.
Finn said that he had no information about that monster in his memory, which could only mean one thing.
That is, it is a monster that has never appeared before.
Just like the crocodile dragon that originally appeared on the 6th floor.
"Exceptional situation"
Aisi whispered softly, making everyone's expressions become solemn.
Especially when they saw what happened behind them, their scalps became numb.
"Roar!"
"Gah!"
I saw that the giant worms were chasing behind like a chariot charging, but at the same time they stretched out their tentacles and grabbed the monsters they encountered as they passed by.
Everyone saw with their own eyes a black rhinoceros struggling desperately, only to be swallowed up by the worm monster.
The other monsters were also hunted by these worm monsters one after another, and without exception, they all became their food.
"Aren't they swallowing magic stones?"
Tione said such words in a voice that was almost moaning, causing everyone's hearts to plummet to the bottom.
"Enhanced species? And there are so many of them!?"
Lefiya, who was carried away by Li Ge, could no longer care about being shy, her pretty face was as white as paper.
Only then did the girls understand why Finn and others ran away.
Because they are facing a group of enhanced species.
In the past, the enhanced species were rarer than rare species, and the appearance of one would make the guild feel like they were facing a formidable enemy, and they would immediately put a bounty on them. Now, they appear in droves.
Is there anything worse than this?
Unfortunately, it does.
"Get out of the way!"
Li Ge, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, maintained his position of hugging Lefiya, grabbed Ais's hand, and suddenly lay down.
"Get down!"
Finn's reaction was not unpleasant, and he chose to trust Li Ge's sudden reminder without hesitation. With an order, everyone got down one after another.
At this moment, a line of purple liquid suddenly passed by like a high-pressure water gun and hit the wall in front of it.
"Chichi!"
The wall hit by the purple liquid immediately dissolved at a speed visible to the naked eye, and was turned into a puddle of mud in an instant.
Such a situation almost immediately reminded Ais and others of the Cadmus Fountain.
In that cave room, there were many traces like this that were corroded and dissolved by something.
"Isn't it possible!?"
"They were the ones who killed the strong dragon!"
Tiona and Tione shouted in unison.
"Raul!"
Ais finally understood why Raul turned into such a miserable state and was carried away by Bert.
Probably because he was directly hit by the solution and was corroded.
"It's really these monsters"
Li Ge, who had been silent all this time, finally confirmed this and looked at the worm monsters with sharp eyes.
The chasing worm monsters raised their upper bodies one by one under the trembling eyes of everyone, opened their sticky mouths, and sprayed liquid guns in this direction, letting the purple dissolving liquid hit one after another.
"Be careful to stay away! Don't come into contact with that kind of solution!"
Finn warned loudly.
Naturally, no one would be shocked to see that terrible solution and still come into contact with it.
At that moment, everyone began to dodge, or move, or jump back and forth at extremely high speeds to avoid the incoming liquid guns.
"choke!"
Ais drew her sword and seemed ready to fight.
"Don't go! Ace!" Bert suddenly shouted and said: "If the monster is slashed, the solution in its body will burst out instantly. This is how Raul suffered!"
With one word, Aisi had to stop her steps that were about to rush out.
"Boy Li Ge!" Grace shouted at Li Ge: "Can you use another spell in this situation!?"
Since melee combat is not possible, we can only use long-range attacks.
Of course, Li Ge was already prepared.
"[Arc Ray]!"
Li Ge, who had finished chanting, fired his magic without hesitation, causing the arc-shaped beam to cut through the space and hit the worm that was spitting out solution.
"[Arc Ray]!"
"[Arc Ray]!"
"[Arc Ray]!"
The continuous chanting and release caused arcs of light to blast out one after another, hitting the worms one by one, causing them to scream in agony.
The explosions and screams were mixed together, making the air seem to have a smell of gunpowder smoke, shaking the entire maze.
Everyone's eyes changed when they saw that Li Ge was still able to calmly dodge the solution while still chanting magic bombardment while holding Lefiya.
