There are many types of bugs in the Qiraji Empire, some of which have evolved to adapt to the environment, while others are the product of artificial transformation by high-level bugs for war purposes.
This strange-looking earth-boring insect should have evolved on its own. Its surface is covered with a strong chitin shell, and the shell also has many sharp barbs.
Villeless observed the surroundings vigilantly. The giant earth-boring insect was drilling holes everywhere in the empty insect nest, and its approximate location could only be judged by the sound.
"Salayan, is this earth-boring insect also a low-level insect?"
Sarlayan was also quite confused about this: "I don't know, but this guy doesn't look very smart. Maybe he is cannon fodder who has physical advantages but empty brains?"
In any case, Sarlayan and his party finally understood how the Qiraji dug out such a large underground insect nest in just over a month.
"Uncle, shall we fight or retreat?"
Villes thought for a moment: "It is too dangerous to fight the earth-boring insect underground. If it is allowed to continue to burrow in the ground, the entire insect nest may collapse due to the loose soil."
"Retreat! Return to the ground first."
Villes was the commander of this special operations team. After receiving his order, everyone speeded up and evacuated quickly along the route they came from.
However, the earth-boring insects wandering around did not seem to intend to let them go. Many places along the original infiltration route had collapsed, making it impossible to return the same way.
As a last resort, the group had no choice but to change their route and take a detour.
Fortunately, there was more than one passage leading to the ground in the insect nest, and they finally got back to the ground before the earth-boring insects completely collapsed the insect nest.
As soon as they returned to the surface full of yellow sand, the originally solid underground insect nest suddenly collapsed inwards.
"boom!"
The huge earth-boring insect poked its head out of the ground shortly after, and its mouthparts full of sharp teeth roared angrily at Villes and the others.
Ready for battle! "
Under the order of Villes, everyone took out their weapons and was on full alert.
The Backlight Blades are all thieves. When they can break through defenses, their output ability is not bad, but it is a bit difficult for thieves to fight head-on.
As the only warrior in the team, Sarlayan stood up without hesitation, took the lead with a heroic leap, and jumped into the impact range of the earth-boring worm.
Sarlayan's task is to attract the attention of this armored earth-boring insect and try not to let it burrow into the ground again.
Sharlayan jumped into the air and held Quel'Sera high. With the force of his fall, the sharp blade struck the earth-boring insect's shell hard.
When cutting into the shell, Sarlayan clearly felt some resistance.
But with the support of high-quality weapons, he still broke through the enemy's defense and left a deep wound on the body of the worm.
"hiss!"
The painful earth-boring insect swung its body instinctively, and green blood sprayed everywhere as it struggled.
Seeing the big head of the low-drilling insect swinging towards him, Sarlayan hurriedly retracted his attack and put the sword upright in front of his chest to parry.
"clang!"
At the same time as it landed, there was a huge bombardment from Quel'Sera's sword, and Sarlayan was dragged back several meters on the sand uncontrollably.
Fortunately, his defensive posture did not collapse and he was still standing firmly on the ground.
"What a strength!"
Turning to holding the sword with one hand, Sarlayan shook his numb right hand and took the opportunity to throw an Eagle Eye spell at the worm.
The level of this earth-burrowing insect is as high as 45, and its name is the Scion of Oro (madness, overdraft).
[What the hell, Auro? ! 】
[PTSD, and I remembered the experience of killing that big bug countless times. 】
[Crazy is understandable, but what the hell is overdraft? 】
[According to the current situation analysis, its original strength should not be that strong, and 80% of it has been treated with hormones. 】
[God is taking hormones! 】
[Okay, no kidding, C'Thun obviously did something to it, allowing the weak Oro descendants to get through the increasingly weak defense of the quicksand wall, and then trigger the "switch" in its body during the battle. . 】
[This guy is a typical pushover. There is no need to fight it. Sooner or later, its body will be unable to withstand the dangerous overclocking power. 】
Sarlayan: "That's easy to say!"
After stabilizing his body, Sarlayan launched a charge and once again approached the Scions of Oro.
"This guy has no sense at all in his mad state. If he were to rush into Cenarion Fortress and wreak havoc, it would probably have an unnecessary impact on the war that is being intensively prepared."
With the revenge of receiving damage after successful defense, Sarlayan once again cut open the shell of the descendant of Oro.
Two consecutive effective injuries angered this poor guy who only had instincts. He completely targeted Sarlayan and turned a blind eye to the surrounding backlight blade.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Regardless of the possible injuries he might suffer, the Oro child raised his big head and smashed it three times on the ground.
Sarlayan was like dancing on the tip of a knife. The first time he used his weapon to block the attack, he could only use his feet to dodge the second time and the third time.
Although Sarlayan's movements are not as flexible as those of thieves, his mobility is not impaired by the heavy armor.
After narrowly avoiding the third heavy hit, Sarlayan's body was dyed khaki by the dust raised.
"Three-axe, right? I don't believe you can continue to smash it!"
Taking advantage of the moment when the Son of Oro ran out of energy to recover from his moves, Sharlayan struck the enemy's head hard with a giant blow.
"Hiss!"
The severe pain made the Oro child subconsciously raise his head and scream in pain.
Several afterimages appeared at multiple locations outside Oroga's shell at the same time, and they all thrust the weapons in their hands through the cracks in the shell cut by Sarlayan.
For such a huge creature, the dose of poison usually used to deal with humanoid creatures is obviously not enough.
But as long as the amount is high, all living things cannot avoid the effects of poisoning.
The quick-acting poisons attached to multiple weapons were injected into the body of the Oro descendant one after another, and the quickly-acting poisons had begun to corrode its body.
Seeing that the movements of the children of Oro slowed down significantly, Sarlayan consciously kept a hand in order to avoid being aware of his trump card in advance by the insect hive network.
Villes, who had already determined that he would not participate in the decisive battle, had no such concerns.
A circle of crimson blade whirlwind rotated outwards with Villes as the center, and the sharp blade wind easily cut through the skin of the descendant of Oro.
When Veles finished his skill and landed firmly, the head of the son of Oro had been cut to pieces by the whirlwind of blades.
The body of the giant earth-boring insect hit the ground heavily. This time it was not for attack, but because its life had come to an end.
"Boom!"
…
"really."
After the battle, Valeela, who also did not participate in the final blow, stood next to Sarlayan and pouted.
"These legendary thieves all have their own unique tricks to beat the enemy."
"The mentor's killing feast, Master Velez's scarlet storm, and I wonder what Garona's unique skill is."
[What is the Killing Feast? 】
【new player? Killing Feast was the previous name, which was later harmonized into Shadow Dance. 】
[…Are there even the slightest similarity between these two names? 】
[Shh~ We don’t dare to say, we don’t dare to ask, it’s all blessings, just accept it honestly. 】
Villes squatted beside the body of the son of Oro and examined it for a while.
"There are no traces of manipulation on the outside. It seems that the extraordinary transformation comes from the soul."
When Sarlayan, Veles and others infiltrated the Rego Hive, the Druid team sent by Koda also entered the Zola Hive at the same time.
This group of druid teams also encountered some troubles. A huge beetle blocked their way deep into the insect nest. Fortunately, the accompanying tauren archdruid Hamuul took action to deal with the giant beetle.
When Sarlayan and Valeera brought Veleth's guess and solution back to Cenarion Fortress and relayed it to Koda, Hamuul and others followed closely and returned to the fortress.
"Is there a loophole in the seal..."
Keda rubbed his eyebrows with a headache: "It seems that this war cannot be delayed any longer."
Sarlayan comforted him: "Actually, there's no need to be too nervous. It's not that easy to do this little trick of taking advantage of the loopholes."
"Not every insect can withstand the blessing of C'Thun's power. The descendants of high-level insect men are not consumables. Use one less one."
Keda nodded solemnly: "This is good news."
"Anyway, I will inform Malfurion and Tyrande to make final preparations as soon as possible. Thank you for your hard work. Go down and have a good rest."
