Chapter six hundred and eighty sixth hunt for thousands of miles
The one that suffered the most serious damage was the head that finally popped up to devour the armored bear on the earth, because in the process, it also made an upward swallowing motion, and half of its body came out of the soil, and it stayed there for too long.
Needless to say, even if faced with an attack, there is no way to dodge it.
Eight spears were struck in a row, and the deepest one directly broke its purple carapace from the middle, and one-third of it was submerged into the body of the earth-burrowing purple insect.
Although the harvest of the other spears is not so great, the freezing cold air carried by the ice spears is enough for it to drink a pot. After all, these ice spears are the purest water magic energy. Once they pierce the body, they will be destroyed.
When the temperature is out of control at a certain level, it will turn into biting cold air again.
If it were an ordinary person who was pierced by an ice spear, there would be no hope of survival regardless of whether it hit the vital point.
Because the piercing attack of the ice spear is only a physical attack, the ice attack that follows is the most deadly.
This point is similar to the magic bomb of the Eternal Night Army, but it is not comparable to the battle artifact in terms of portability.
It is true that a battle artifact can have the name of an artifact on its name. If it is used well at critical moments, it can indeed determine the outcome of a small to medium-sized battle.
When Sean returned, the earth-burrowing purple worms only left a pile of frozen purple blood at the scene, all of which shrank back into the ground.
"We're in trouble this time." Sean said with a gloomy face, "After frightening them, I'm afraid these cunning guys will never show up easily again."
Dragon Soul Clarence nodded in agreement and said: "The larger one among them was a bit seriously injured. I guess it probably escaped far away to heal its wounds. It will not show its head again in a short period of time. After all, it is just a beast with a relatively simple mind.
, in their minds, survival is the most important thing.”
"Damn, I didn't expect that there were two of this guy. It couldn't be a male and a female, right? If so, there wouldn't be just one or two in this land, but it's very likely that there would be a nest.
." There was unconcealable anger in Sean's words.
The fact that the ground-burrowing purple worm is not alone was already hinted at when the tunnel leaking from the shaft was dug.
The thickness of those underground passages was quite different. At first, Sean didn't think much about it. He just thought that they were left behind by ground-digging purple insects from different periods.
Now it seems that it is another possibility, that it is not left behind by the ground-burrowing purple insects.
"Didn't I tell the master that purple insects are hermaphrodites. In an environment with multiple purple insects, they will mate and reproduce with each other. If there are only individuals in an environment, they can also divide and reproduce themselves completely.
"Dragon Soul Clarence replied from the side.
"No." Sean's face darkened, "Why didn't you tell me such important information earlier?"
"Under normal circumstances, purple insects will not reproduce through division, because for them, this is to increase competitors out of thin air and reduce their hunting grounds. It is also a huge drain on themselves and requires a lot of energy.
Only then can I replenish it... Even if I didn't say it, I'm sorry, I was negligent this time." Dragon Soul Clarence felt the sufficient magic energy rippling around him, and what Sean said before, there was something hidden underneath this energy mine.
All are energy crystals.
The problem I mentioned later is not a problem at all for the ground-burrowing purple insects living here. According to their terrifying absorption speed, replenishing energy is a matter of minutes.
Dragon Soul Clarence even had reason to believe that the other ground-burrowing purple worm was not the reinforcements summoned by the opponent, but two were created by splitting into two through the middle break.
In this case, both ground-burrowing purple insects will be in adulthood and maintain the same memory, because this creature has two heads and can remember things at the same time. Now it is just divided into two and becomes a new individual. At the same time
A new head was born again.
"I can't blame you, I was negligent myself." Sean took a deep breath and calmed down.
The blame for this incident cannot be entirely placed on Dragon Soul Clarence. Because he was too confident in the plan he had prepared, he got a little carried away.
If I were more cautious and not eager to launch an attack, I could control the Earth-Armored Bear to take the Digging Purple Worm for a walk and see how it was doing, even if it was split in two, had four heads, and wanted to swallow the Earth-Armored Bear.
The possibility of a bear is also low, after all, the opponent's attack is too noisy.
Previously, the Earth Armored Bear did not respond in time. That was because Sean's main soul consciousness was transferred to the Frost Giant and he launched an attack. By the time he realized something was wrong, he had already delayed his turn back for a second.
And this second can determine success or failure, life or death.
This is the biggest flaw of the soul battle body, but it doesn't want to be accidentally hit by the earth-burrowing purple insect.
If you miss, you miss. Then think of another way.
Sean did not dwell on the issue of failure.
He controlled the Frost Giant to enter the field, roared for a while, swung a magic brick and repeatedly hit the ground, trying to lure the ground-burrowing purple worm out, with predictable results.
There was no reaction at all, and I don't know whether he was lying dormant to recover from his injuries, or whether he was frightened by the attack just now and completely ran away.
"Damn it, if you don't come out, I'll go in and catch you." Sean didn't hesitate for long before he made up his mind. The spear of the ancestral spirit was transferred from the frost giant to the energy clone, and he was ready to go deep into the lair of the earth-burrowing purple worm and destroy it.
He pulled it out.
"Go underground to fight the earth-burrowing purple insects?" Dragon Soul Clarence looked like he was looking at a madman. "On the ground, we still have a 30% chance of winning, but underground we don't even have a 50% chance. People can just cause a small earthquake.
If we come down, we can bury us all, and then swallow us with mud and soil in one gulp."
"What are you afraid of? We are not really flesh and blood. If I were swallowed, the most I could do would be for the soul to return to the northern fortress. If you were swallowed, the most I would lose is a soul container. The soul can also obey us.
The soul contract is returned to my body. I still have thousands of points of law power here. The soul container can still make one hundred and eighty. Even if it is consumed, I can still consume it to death. The only thing I worry about is the ancestor.
The Spirit Spear may be lost, but if it dares to swallow me and the Ancestral Spirit Spear together, I will definitely let it know how to write the word "death." Sean said fearlessly.
The last point he mentioned is where his greatest confidence lies. It may be due to his experience that the armored bear on the earth was swallowed alive once just now.
Sean's fear of the ground-burrowing purple insects plummeted.
At most, he will be swallowed once more, if he is holding the Spear of the Ancestral Spirit.
If he really swallowed him, it's really hard to say who killed whom.
Before the energy clone was shattered, it was enough time for him to launch a cold air attack with the total amount of the Ice Spear Array in the body of the Digging Purple Insect. Even if it did not explode, it would still have to be turned into a lump of ice.
Without worrying about life or death, Sean's courage is definitely at full strength.
How can you be willing to give up after planning and preparing for so long without giving it a try?
"Master is not afraid, and we have no reason to be afraid either." Dragon Soul Clarence looked like he would risk his life to accompany the gentleman.
"Wait a minute, I'll go back and make some preparations." Before going deep underground, Sean returned his main consciousness to the northern fortress, splitting gold and splitting soil, turning fossils into mud, turning mud into stone, etc.
A set of earth spells was condensed and packaged into the energy clone.
These spells can be used by any soul battle body as long as Sean wants to. It is not difficult for a frost giant to play with earth or an armored bear to play with ice.
It's just that due to the structure of their energy skeleton, there are certain additions and subtractions.
If the Frost Giant were to control the earth element, it would not even have one-third of the power of the Earth Armored Bear, and vice versa.
On the contrary, the energy clone is a stick in itself. It does not have any power bonus or reduction. No matter what attribute spell is used, it can reach about 70% of the soul combat body with exclusive attributes.
"Okay, let's go. When you get down, follow me closely." Sean's next order was to the three giant souls.
"As you command, sir." The three giant souls performed a standard eternal night military salute, but it was very inconsistent and strange for their bodies to be the same size as babies.
The corner of Clarence's eye, the dragon soul on one side, twitched obviously. It still couldn't adapt to the changes in the giant souls. It would rather the other side returned to the way they were hostile to it than to see them look like good comrades.
They forgot all their hatred and hatred, but he didn't.
"Wait a moment." Dragon Soul Clarence suppressed his messy mood and raised his dragon claw towards Sean. A ball of white light from his fist appeared above Sean's head, glowing softly, like
Like a large light bulb, it illuminates the surroundings.
"Huh?" Sean took two steps back and forth. The white ball of light above his head moved with his body shape, and seemed to be frozen one meter above his head. "It works quite well. What kind of spell is this?"
In this case, there is no need to take out the law gold coin and use it as a flashlight later.
"Lighting, an unfashionable little trick, can last for an hour and is a must-have spell for exploring the dark areas." Dragon Soul Clarence answered.
"It's easy to use. Please teach me when you have time." Sean led the way and didn't mind being the target.
"It's an honor for me that the master is willing to learn." Dragon Soul Clarence followed closely behind Sean.
Sean chose the entrance to the underground passage, where the head of the purple insect that had suffered the most damage retracted and remained.
The magic stone layer here has almost solidified, which makes it easier for Sean to walk on it.
Tracking Eye.
After Sean entered the underground passage, he immediately blessed himself with a second combat skill.
This combat skill was prepared by Sean for the ranger hunters led by the Evernight Army.
With the blessing of this combat skill, ordinary people can also see traces of spell energy and blood tissue in a colorful way, making it easier for them to track those ancient mutated magical creatures.
Now it is really suitable to use it to track the ground-burrowing purple insects.
The route that the earth-burrowing purple worm had just walked formed a distinct deep red color in Sean's eyes.
This color is determined by the concentration of the remaining magic. The higher the concentration, the shorter the remaining time, and the brighter the color.
As Sean quickly went deeper, even if there was a fork in the road, it would not be affected in the slightest, and he would directly pursue the passage with the brightest colors. There was no mistake.
"Are these two guys playing tricks to confuse us, or are their escape routes overlapping? It's just a good opportunity to distinguish the difference between the two." Sean only chased for five minutes when a new problem appeared in his mind.
before.
A crossroad-like intersection with passages of approximately the same color and depth lay in front of him.
By comparing the size of the tunnel when he came and the traces of purple blood remaining on the walls of the tunnel, he concluded that the most severely damaged ground-burrowing purple insect he wanted to track should be thicker.
In this kind of thing, you can only choose one of the two.
Sean decided to stick to this ground-digging purple insect that he had fought with from the beginning. After all, the two parties were old acquaintances. At this time, of course, it was a choice between familiarity and rawness.
If that earth-burrowing purple insect knew what Sean was thinking, it would definitely roar at him, "I'm not familiar with you."
When Sean went deep underground and tracked the burrowing purple worm over a long distance, he had a deeper understanding of the opponent's terrifying burrowing speed.
From making up his mind to tracking deep underground, it only took Sean less than half an hour, and then he tracked at an average speed of ten kilometers per hour for a full two hours, not to mention the insect shadow, even the magic brick
There is no sign that the stone layer has become soft.
This shows that his current tracking speed cannot exceed the digging speed of the ground-digging purple insect.
Ten kilometers per hour is certainly not the ultimate speed of the energy clone.
If you let it run freely, the average speed of 30 kilometers per hour will not put a load on it.
But that was on the ground, without any scruples.
Now he was in a maze-like complex underground, especially when he entered some areas with existing underground passages. The Digging Purple Insect did not bother to continue digging, but walked along these underground passages.
This greatly increases the difficulty of tracking Sean.
If Sean hadn't been well prepared and possessed the convenience provided by the Tracking Eye, the ground-burrowing purple worm would have left traces of magic mud and stone on the ground as it squirmed forward, and there was a possibility that Sean would have lost it.
Several times before, due to the overlapping traces of two ground-burrowing purple worms, Sean almost didn't chase the wrong target. In the end, he accidentally hit the target and found the newly dug cave where he was tracking the target, and then pursued him again.
.
The time spent searching for traces and making repeated confirmations greatly slowed down Sean's progress.
In addition, every time Sean walked a hundred steps, he left a directional sign on the ground, not to mention the fork holes, all of which left artificial signs to prevent others from turning in circles and leading him into the old road.
You know, these also waste time.
Judging from the path that the Digging Purple Insect is currently walking, it seems that the other party is not aware that it is being followed.
To be more precise, this kind of experience has never happened before. It has always been tracking others underground, so there is no possibility of being hunted.
The ground-burrowing purple worm is moving away from the energy mine, and the direction it is heading to is the Odin Prairie.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to tell the direction under the pitch-black cave.
But Sean is not in the normal situation. The precise direction cannot be determined, but the general direction is no problem.
Because there is a wonderful connection between his souls, he only needs to sense where the main body of the northern fortress is, and then sense the frost giants left in the energy mines, and he can basically determine the general direction of where he is.
Not to mention that when he found out that he needed to fight a protracted battle, Sean decisively moved the Thundering Golden Eagle over and always hovered directly above the energy clone, forming a more precise direction.
After two days and one night of tracking, Sean's energy clone and the Thundering Golden Eagle met at the temporary residence of a small Odin orc tribe in the Odin Prairie.
To be more precise, it should be the ruins of a temporary residence.
