Chapter 99 Second-Level Leyline 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.
Gao De felt something in his heart and looked in the direction of the sound.
In a corner of the camp, a huge worm emerged from the ground very abruptly, 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 worm's huge mouth with sharp teeth is as wide as the height of a human being.
At this moment, an unlucky city guard was bitten by it.
Humbling, 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. 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 knowledge, he can still see 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!
This kind of existence is not something that a mage apprentice like him should take a second look at.
Obviously, one guard cannot satisfy the Purple Insect.
It acted again, lowering its head and biting another guard who had no time to run.
A nearby mage apprentice casts a spell in an attempt to save people.
After the fluctuation of magic power, a whip-like lightning energy struck over.
Pah!
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.
It’s not just lightning.
Flame, acid, poisonous gas.
Many mage apprentices nearby cast spells, but no matter what spell it was, it fell on the body of the giant worm, like a drop of water falling into the desert, with no trace of its existence at all.
"It's a purple worm, a level 2 terrestrial creature. Everyone, please disperse!"
An official level 1 mage saw this and shouted loudly, fearing that someone who didn't know how to survive would want to attack the purple worm 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 some meager assistance at most.
As for the mage apprentice, he is not a threat to the purple insect at all, and may even be a hindrance.
As soon as he 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 level 2 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 a spell.
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 accurately.
Her palms flashed with light, gradually condensing into four shining darts.
Versa's eyes flashed with a fierce meaning, and she suddenly waved her arm forward, and the four flashing darts flew towards the purple worm quickly like arrows from the string.
On the flight trajectories of these four flashing darts, they left faint traces of light 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 was not unscathed.
His body trembled slightly under the impact of the flash darts, leaving obvious scars on the hard shell, and blood even began to seep out in several places.
These wounds are not fatal to the purple insect, but 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 within the area it is located in rises suddenly.
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 and expand, and blood spattered out.
The purple insect became angrier.
But it is obvious that all of 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, avoiding 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.
The skin under the horny carapace of the purple insect seemed to have some kind of liquid dispersed, turning into a purple mist that spread out.
Blood gushes out like a fountain.
But when Versa saw this scene, she did not relax at all.
She understood that giant creatures like purple insects were extremely tenacious. Even though the injuries were serious, they were actually far from dead.
"Those who have mastered the magic missiles, join me, aim at the wound and attack, don't destroy the integrity of its jaw teeth and pincers!"
Welsa commanded coldly.
Obviously, she had already secured the victory, and she began to consider the integrity of the spoils.
After receiving the order, 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 magic 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 flashing darts they condensed is naturally far inferior to Versa's.
In addition, they can 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 is trying to escape from here by burrowing into the ground!
However, what it faces is no longer the soft soil on which it counts its breath.
A layer of invisible magical power has enveloped the ground where it is, causing the ground to 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.
Wilsa saw the purple insect struggling in vain, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth 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.
