Chapter 99: Second Ring Earthline Creatures
The days of stable "monster spawning and leveling up" did not last forever.
After dinner, the camp gradually became quiet, and suddenly there was a commotion.
Gaode felt something and looked in the direction of the sound.
In a corner of the camp, a huge worm emerged from the ground very suddenly, leaving a large crater in place as if it had been hit by a meteorite.
The worm is more than ten meters tall and nearly one meter in diameter. Its size alone gives people a suffocating feeling of oppression.
And its huge body is covered with dark purple horny armor.
The width of the worm's huge mouth with sharp teeth is already equivalent to the height of a human being.
At this moment, an unlucky city guard was bitten by it.
Gurgling, without any chewing, the city guard wearing leather armor was swallowed by the giant worm.
A living person just disappeared.
“I don’t even need to peel it off. I’m not afraid of choking to death!” Gaode’s pupils shrank sharply after witnessing this scene.
His footsteps have subconsciously moved away from the worm.
Even if Gaode has no experience, he can still tell that this giant worm is definitely not a 0-level leyline creature, but a 1st-level leyline creature, or even a 2nd-level leyline creature!
Existences of this level are not something that a mage apprentice like him should take a second look at.
Obviously, a guard cannot satisfy the Purple Insect.
It acted again, lowering its head and biting another guard who had no time to run away.
A nearby mage apprentice casts a spell in an attempt to save people.
After the magic power fluctuated, a whip-like lightning energy struck over.
Pop!
The seemingly ferocious lightning beam fell on the horny armor-covered body of the giant worm, as if it had encountered an insulator, and disappeared without causing any waves.
More than just lightning.
Fire, acid, poisonous gas.
Many mage apprentices nearby cast spells, but no matter what spell they were, when they fell on the body of the giant worm, they were like a drop of water falling into the desert. No trace of its existence can be found.
“It’s a purple worm, a 2-level leyline creature, everyone should disperse quickly!”
Upon seeing this, an official level 1 mage shouted loudly, fearing that someone who didn't know whether to live or die would attack the purple insect and cause unnecessary casualties.
Level 2 creatures can only be dealt with by level 2 mages.
Even level 1 mages like them can only provide meager assistance at most.
As for the mage apprentice, it is not a threat to the purple insect at all, it may even be a hindrance.
As soon as they heard "Level 2 Earthline Creatures", no one present had the courage to stay. The crowd suddenly panicked and everyone began to flee.
In this short period of time, the Purple Insect has repeatedly succeeded in swallowing five people in a row, including four guards and an unlucky mage apprentice.
Until then, Versa, the only second-level mage in the large army, arrived belatedly.
She is extremely fast and can cover a distance of four to five meters with each step.
This speed has exceeded human limits and is obviously the effect of magic.
As soon as he arrived at the scene, Master Versa's eyes immediately locked on the purple insect.
She took a deep breath and danced her fingers in the air quickly and precisely.
Light flashed in her palm, gradually condensing into four shining darts.
Vilsa's eyes flashed with a fierce meaning, and she suddenly waved her arm forward, and the four flashing darts flew towards the purple insect like an arrow from the string.
On the flight trajectories of these four flashing darts, faint traces of light were left in the air.
This is the trace left by powerful magic in the air.
The Purple Insect obviously felt threatened by these four flashing darts.
But its huge body makes it unable to dodge flexibly, so it can only choose to resist.
The flash dart drew a graceful arc in the air and accurately hit the purple insect's body.
Every collision is accompanied by a crisp sound.
That was the sound of the collision of magical power and the hard shell of the purple insect.
This time, the purple insect did not escape unscathed.
Its body trembled slightly under the blow of the flash darts, leaving obvious scars on the hard shell, and blood even began to seep out in several places.
Although these wounds are not fatal to the purple insect, they are enough to make it feel painful and angry. It became violent and furious, squirming its huge body, trying to get closer to Versa.
However, Versa did not give it this chance.
She retreated at an astonishing speed, and at the same time, the magic light in her hand flashed again.
As the spell was cast, the air around the purple insect seemed to become heavier, and an invisible force restrained the purple insect's movements.
The gravity in the area where it is located rises sharply.
The purple insect's movements became slow and clumsy, and its originally slow movement speed was suppressed like a turtle crawling.
At the same time, this expanded gravity also caused unprecedented pressure on the purple insect, causing its originally not serious wounds to tear open, expand, and blood spattered out.
The purple insect became angrier.
But it is obvious that all its combat power lies in its powerful body, which mainly relies on its strong jaws and sharp stingers to launch attacks.
The prerequisite for these two attacks is close combat.
Wilsa knew this very well and always kept a distance from the purple insect to avoid close contact with it.
No matter how angry and manic the purple insect was, sending up sand and gravel all over the sky, Versa remained unmoved.
She waved her arm again, and four more flash darts were shot out.
The purple insect opened its huge jaws and made a terrifying roar, trying to scare Versa with its sound.
But how could the experienced Versa be frightened by such a trivial means?
Four flash darts accurately hit the open and widening wound on the purple insect's body.
This time the blow was deeper.
Some kind of liquid seemed to be scattered on the skin under the horny carapace of the purple insect, turning into a purple mist that spread out.
Blood gushes out like a fountain.
But Versa did not relax at all when she saw this scene.
She understands that giant creatures like purple insects are extremely tenacious. Although the injuries are serious, they are actually far from dead.
“Those who have mastered magic missiles, join me, aim at the wound and attack, don’t destroy the integrity of its jaws, teeth and pincers!”
Versa commanded coldly.
Obviously, she already had a chance to win, and she began to consider the integrity of the spoils.
After receiving the order, more than a dozen of the first-level mages of the law enforcement team took action.
It seems that [Magic Missile] is one of the spells that the law enforcement team must learn.
They each condensed their magical power, and the light also shone in their palms, condensing shining darts.
It turns out that this flash dart is the so-called [magic missile].
It’s just that the power contained in the flash darts they condensed is naturally far inferior to Versa’s.
In addition, they could only condense three flash darts.
These magic missiles traced bright trajectories in the air. Compared with the magic missiles sent by Versa, although they were slightly less powerful, they were superior in number.
The Purple Insect felt a strong threat, and actually raised its huge jaw toward the ground.
It's trying to get away from here!
However, what it faces is no longer the soft soil where it counts its breath.
A layer of invisible magical power has enveloped the ground where it is, making the ground tremble slightly. If it hadn't been so huge, it might have fallen to the ground.
At the same time, this magical power also makes the soil as hard as rock, making it impossible for the purple worms to dig through it.
Seeing the purple insect struggling in vain, Versa raised a sneer on her lips that was sure to win.
She had long expected that the purple insect would try to escape by burrowing into the ground when it faced danger, so she cast [Ground Tremor] in advance to cut off its retreat.
Under the command of Versa, the level 1 mages of the law enforcement team continued to launch fierce attacks on the purple insects.
The Purple Insect is painful and desperate, making angry and unwilling sounds. However, no matter how hard it struggles, it cannot change its ending.
A few minutes later, no matter how tenacious the purple insect was, it could not withstand the continuous attack and finally fell down.
It was like a small building with several floors collapsing and hitting the ground, stirring up a large amount of dust.
