I'm not that kind of orc

"You can do such a ghostly thing?" Roland's voice took on a bit of teasing, "I was rarely moved when you saved me just now."

"It's thanks to you that you can take a joke in this situation!" I suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.

"You were the one who joked first, how could you have the heart to abandon me if you love me so much?"

"If you say one more bad word like this, I will really think about it!"

"But it's useless to panic now. You are holding me and being chased by a rock-eating sandworm. Maybe we will die together in the next second. How can you calm down if you don't have such an exciting scene?"

"Then if I tell you that that thing is getting closer, won't you find it more exciting?" I yelled loudly.

?That's right, I can feel that the rock-eating sandworm is really getting closer. This monster moves at full speed underground faster than I can sprint.

Being chased like this, I have already run to the border of the tribal settlement, and I can even see the guard post not far away.For the convenience of grazing, the hooffence fence and the wolf cage are arranged at the edge of the settlement. The orc sentry on the high sentry post also saw the appearance of the rock-eating sandworm just now. Vigilantly holding a bow and arrow this way, trying to help me.

But they couldn't aim at all, because the monster was still hiding underground-in fact, the monster's hard skin was not effective for bows and arrows.

However, I didn't come here completely without thinking. I plan to lead this destructive monster out of the tribe first, and at the same time find an open place for me to avoid it.

Since two legs can't hide it, then change to four legs!

I raised my hand, and a blood mist rose from the ground in front of me, condensing into a fat warg—during the galloping process, I kept summoning the beast soul with the totem token on my waist.

I slowed down a little bit, carried Roland on my shoulders, and jumped directly onto the back of the warg beast soul. At the same time, the position about ten steps behind us suddenly exploded, and the rock-eating sandworm opened its bloody mouth and swooped towards us. come over.

I controlled the warg to jump up, escaped its devouring pounce, and ran towards the wilderness outside the tribe.

Alien Raid (5)

After riding a warg and stepping into the wilderness, the form became a little more favorable. The moment I rushed out of the tribal boundary, I subconsciously made the warg turn sharply in one direction.As I expected, the worm couldn't turn sharply inside the rock formation as nimbly as us running on the ground.We pulled out a safe distance from the rock-eating sandworm that was biting behind us, and then the warg was running at full speed so that it couldn't continue to approach like before.

No, it would be an exaggeration to say that it has become beneficial. The current situation is still that the two of us are being chased by this monster.

"This fucking guy doesn't even have eyes, and he's hiding in the ground. How did he chase us so closely?" I found that although the monster couldn't continue to approach, it was still heading straight towards us. Stop chasing.

"The mucous membrane on the inside of the sandworm's mouth can sense light and heat sources, and it is also very sensitive to smell. The moment it opens its mouth on the ground, it can figure out the surrounding situation, lock on the target prey, and follow the prey after diving into the ground. The vibration of running on the ground judges the movement of the prey, and keeps tracking the position of the prey." Roland explained to me.

"Since you understand that thing, why don't you think of a way to deal with it! Don't you know magic? How about attacking it with magic that controls rocks and land?"

But Roland vetoed the proposal: "Your method is like drowning fish with water. Rock-eating sandworms live underground all year round. Its outer shell is very hard, but its inner body is very flexible. Even earthquakes and landslides cannot do anything about it." It's useless to add weight or to control rock and soil extrusion."

"Burning with fire?" I came up with another idea.

"Its shell is fire-resistant, and it sometimes encounters lava when it moves underground, and it can even swim in the magma for a while." Roland continued to veto it.

"Then strike it with lightning?"

"This should work." Roland finally didn't veto it this time, but added, "But the premise is that it has to open its mouth from the ground."

"But when it shows its head and opens its mouth, it's ready to eat you." I rolled my eyes.

The moment the rock-eating sandworm jumped out and pounced was already thrilling enough. Even a slight delay in the movement of me turning over and riding the warg would cause me to be buried in the belly of the insect. If possible, I don't want to take such a risk rashly.

If you want to strike it with lightning, you have to find a way to lure it to show up while keeping a safe distance.

"Then how did you deal with this kind of monster before?" I simply asked her, "You have seen this thing before!"

"Well, I participated in the expedition team of the Demon Realm. But at that time, we were all faced with wild sandworms that preyed on indiscriminately. We only need to use the powder kegs used by the dwarves for mining or the detonating crystals of our elves and put them together with the bait. Swallow it in one gulp and blow it up from the inside."

"But it's staring at us now, and we can't strap bombs to ourselves!" I felt a wave of despair.

"By the way, Brock!" Roland suddenly spoke at this moment.

"Why, did you come up with an idea?" I was suddenly pleasantly surprised.

"Do you think you look like a bandit who just captured a woman while riding a wolf while carrying me like this?"

"...I understand, you think it's more comfortable to be the feed of bugs, don't you?" I made a gesture to hold her belt and stretch her out, "Or else, you might as well feed it into your stomach I will cast some spell to kill it at the moment, and I will write the suicide note for you!"

"Don't be so cruel, I just want to remind you to be optimistic, the situation is not as bad as you imagined." Roland said with a dry smile, "Sandworms have different senses from higher creatures, and the person who manipulates it cannot share senses with it Yes, so you can't directly manipulate it by possessing it, you can only give it some simple commands to let it do it by itself, although it is locked on us now, but it is still an animal that follows instinct in essence, there will always be a way to deal with it of."

"Animals..." I calmed down a little.

I have hunted dozens of species in the Wild of Behemoths. I am really good at dealing with animals, but I have never hunted this kind of prey that can burrow into the ground.

No, you can't think of it that way, no matter what animal there is, there is a time when it goes hunting for the first time.The hunter is not necessarily stronger than the prey, but must be smarter than the prey.Tools, bait, traps... as long as you find the right method, there is a way to deal with no matter how fierce or difficult a monster is.

This rock-eating sandworm itself has a little IQ, but it's not too high. It's just an order from the manipulator to hunt down a specific target, and it's still acting on instinct in essence.Baits, traps and the like can still work against it.

First of all, it needs to analyze its action mode. According to Roland, it uses its senses to lock the target when it sticks out of the ground, and then judges the position and movement of the prey by distinguishing the subtle vibrations passed by the ground when it is underground.That is to say, now it is actually tracking us by the vibration of the wolf we ride on the ground.

By the way, if we can get away from the wolf beast soul without landing, it won't be able to find it and will continue to chase the running beast soul.

"I said, is there any way for the two of us to fly to the sky temporarily?" I asked Roland.

"What are you going to do?" Roland seemed to sense that I had an idea.

"It tracks us by vibration, so if we jump off the Warg now, as long as there is no movement of landing, it should not be able to find us." I explained loudly to her, "Then let it continue to chase this A beast soul, let it catch up in a safe place, and when he sticks out from the ground to eat the beast soul, you shoot it with a thunderbolt."

"I see. It's a good thing you want to get this method." Roland suddenly laughed, "Well, this matter won't bother Saidian's chief mage, so use this method."

"That's good!" Reassured, I immediately used elemental sensing to estimate the distance to the bug.

This distance should be regarded as safe. The beast soul we are riding has been sprinting with all its strength, and it is almost reaching the limit now. If we slow down, the distance will be shortened quickly.

So I decisively controlled the wolf to make a big jump, then held Roland in the air and rolled off the wolf's back sideways: "Okay, it's now!"

"Hello!" Roland screamed, and hurriedly waved his staff.

At the same time, falling from the wolf's back, I suddenly felt that my back was firmly supported by a ball of air before it touched the ground, as if I had landed on a piece of cotton, and was floating in midair like this.

"You idiot!" Roland propped up my chest on top of me floating in the air, and stared at me from a close distance, "Say first before jumping off, I almost didn't have time to cast a spell!"

"Didn't I yell?"

"Jumping first and then shouting doesn't count!" She picked up her staff and tapped my head lightly.

Alien Raid (6)

In this way, we were held in the air less than two meters and a half from the ground by the compressed air mass.In my induction, the rock-eating sandworm chased us along the footprints we ran past.

"Hey, is it okay to just float like this?" I tried my best to lower my voice and asked Roland who was lying on my chest, "It should be safer to fly to the sky, right?"

Although it didn't land on the ground like this, I was still a little worried. If the monster poked its head out when it arrived here, there was no way to avoid it floating so close to the ground.

"Our goal is to completely deceive it, and this is the most appropriate way." Roland also responded in a low voice, "If we are all swept up into the sky by a strong wind, the movement will be relatively large, and the strong airflow may hit the ground. It will make the rock-eating sandworms aware of it. And flying to the sky is also very risky, I have never done such a dangerous thing, and a careless operation will break into cakes."

"Okay." She said so and I had to give up the idea.

While we were talking, the beast spirit had already escaped a hundred meters away, and rumbles had already started from below us.

"It's coming!" I reminded in a low voice.

Both Roland and I held our breath nervously, and didn't dare to change our posture, for fear that any more movement would make the monster notice it.

Fortunately, the monster finally rushed past us unknowingly, chasing the empty beast soul on its back.

"Very good, it fell into the trap!" Sensing that the rock-eating sandworm was moving away from us, I said in a deep voice.

"I'm going to start preparing to cast a spell. I'll do it after I finish reciting the spell. Don't let it be more than 300 meters away from here. You signal me in advance. I'm afraid we only have this one chance."

"understood."

Then Roland stared at the running wolf, his lips moved slightly and began to chant the spell softly.

And I continued to control the beast soul to run in the distance, leading the rock-eating sandworm to a farther and safer position than us.

Roland recited the spell very quickly. Even without establishing a sense for the natural elements in the air, I could feel that the air in this area suddenly became heavy, and there was a faint arc flickering in the low sky in the distance.

Ten seconds later, Roland finished chanting the spell, slightly raised the staff in his hand, and silently poked my chest with the other hand, signaling to me that she was ready.

At this time, the beast soul of the warg had already led the rock-eating sandworm to a distance of 200 meters. I guessed that this distance should be about the same, so I controlled the warg to slow down and stop at a suitable position, and concentrated on exploring the gnawing sandworm. Rock sandworm.

The spirit of the earth, who has established a spiritual connection with me, accurately conveyed the situation underground. After the warg stopped, the rock-eating sandworm obviously sensed that it was getting closer to its prey, and its momentum suddenly increased.

Fine, just take the bait.

I settled down, silently counted the distance between the rock-eating sandworm and the bait, and began to predict the moment of the monster's attack.

Ten meters...five meters...three meters...

When the horizontal distance between the rock-eating sandworm and the wolf was less than one meter, I sensed that its speed dropped suddenly at this moment-an animal needs to gain momentum at the moment it launches a pounce during the chase, and I am sure this The head monster raised its head at this moment.

"Coming!" I yelled.

As soon as the words fell, the rock-eating sandworms under the ground rushed upwards, and the land stepped on by the wolf beast soul exploded with a huge explosion. The bloody maw rose from the ground, and the beast soul of the warg, which was about the size of a horse, lost its foothold and fell into it.

At the same time, Roland swung his staff over there.

The spell of lightning strike was activated, and a dazzling beam of light pierced down like a long sword in an instant. Before I could close my eyes, the whole world in my vision became pale.The roaring thunderstorm overwhelmed all the sounds, as if 1 people were hammering on the anvil at the same time.

The lightning strike that Roland fired after chanting the spell was much stronger than the lightning that I used to draw with the help of the thundercloud gathered by the shaman. When my eyes finally recovered from the stimulation of the strong light, I could see far There was a curl of white smoke from burning things rising from that place, and half of the rock-eating sandworm exposed from the ground opened its mouth wide, like a sculpture stretched straight and solidified there.That exaggeratedly powerful lightning strike not only penetrated its body, but also blew up a small crater on the ground. Part of the hard shell covering the surface of the sandworm lit up with dark red lines, as if there was some electrification. The minerals melted in the action of the lightning strike.

This monster is finally completely dead... It should be said that it is already scorched, and the wind blowing from there is full of scorched smell. His whole body wrapped in a hard shell was completely burnt through.

"call!"

We both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Then I suddenly emptied under my body, and fell to the ground unexpectedly.

Roland, who was lying on top of me, didn't seem to be prepared, and his face hit my chest hard.

"Hey, let me know in advance if you want to cancel the spell!" After reacting, I lowered my head and glared at Roland.

Falling from such a height is not a big deal to me, but the sudden weightlessness still startled me.

"Sorry, I suddenly became distracted when I relaxed suddenly. Manipulating air suspension is a very delicate spell." Roland held his nose and looked up, his eyes were a little teary from the pain, "But Brock, your pectoral muscles are too big. It's hard."

"It's good enough for you, okay? Or do you prefer to put your face on the ground?" I retorted without hesitation.

But it's finally resolved...

I lay flat on the ground, looked up at the floating clouds in the sky, and my tense body gradually relaxed.After he really settled down, the sense of fatigue gradually came to his consciousness, and his eyelids became a little heavy.

"Oh, Brock, you're the kind of man who just wants to sleep when you're done." Roland teased me again when he saw me like this.

"Please, I just finished beating up that four-handed monster, carried you for such a long distance, and finally used the beast soul summoning, I must be tired." I bowed my head Looking at her, she replied angrily, "If you have time to talk nonsense, why don't you get off me quickly!"

"That's right." Roland smiled at me, and suddenly raised his hand to touch the top of my head, "It's really hard work for you this time."

The movement of the wolf's paws on the ground moved from far to near, and we both turned around at the same time, and saw Igna and Relogard leading a group of wolf cavalry to come to the rescue.

"Brock, are you all right...huh?" Igna, who rushed to the front, stopped the wolf near us, then frowned and stared at us for a while, "You two, what is this posture?"
