Chapter 0218 Storm Is Coming
In a secret cave at the edge of the Greenland Forest.
The messy grass covered the narrow entrance tightly.
A half-human-tall carrion beetle with black armor and green wings and corpse spots on its back flew over close to the top of the grass, and its four pairs of sharp blade-like limbs were piercing a dead human. Judging from the human's clothing, he should be a low-level mercenary who broke into the Greenland Forest for the bounty.
The carrion beetle circled around the entrance and did not find any abnormal movement. Then it folded its wings and landed near the entrance of the cave. Soon, it dragged the mercenary's body into the cave and there was no movement.
Entering the cave entrance, through a narrow tunnel that circled downward and curved, you can enter a huge cave 20 meters underground.
At this time, the cave has become a huge insect nest. The ground and the walls were covered with a strange fungus blanket. It felt soft to the touch and could sink directly into the soles of the feet when stepped on, but it was extremely tough and had strong resistance to strong acids and poisons.
In the center of the cave, there stood a dozen mounds similar to anthills. However, the material used to build them was not ordinary soil, but the filthy substance formed by mixing the blood and flesh residues left after humans were swallowed and digested, sawdust, and wet soil.
It was densely covered with black holes. If you look closely, you can vaguely see the strange larvae wriggling inside. Although they were only larvae, their shrill screams, ugly appearance, and short but ferocious and terrifying form all indicated that they were all terrible and ferocious creatures that could not be tolerated by the world.
The carrion beetles that flew in circled in the air in the cave. When they flew over an insect nest, their sickle-shaped limbs stirred frantically. The body of the human mercenary was immediately torn into pieces of meat, and all of them were poured onto the insect nest with warm blood.
After smelling the fresh blood, the larvae in the insect nest immediately became restless and screamed. White translucent insects emerged from the holes one after another, and frantically gnawed the blood and flesh residue at the entrance of the cave. The other insect nests that did not get food burst into piercing insect hisses, making the whole cave so noisy that people almost wanted to cover their ears.
As the carrion beetles went in and out one by one, and the fresh blood food from the water rack was constantly poured, a nest was finally dug open by the larvae inside. More than 20 carrion beetle larvae drilled out and began to lie on the fungal carpet to carry out the first important evolution in their insect life.
Their milky white translucent insect shells immediately began to solidify and harden when they encountered the damp and cold air. With the terrible crisp sound of cracking, their backs gradually cracked, a crack running through the entire spine, and slowly expanded to both sides.
When the crack expanded to a certain extent, a hideous insect suddenly poked out from it and let out the first sharp scream full of metallic clangs towards this cold world.
In a dark jungle dozens of miles away, the evil insect Entik was looking coldly at a team of human mercenaries marching cautiously through the mottled shadows of trees. It seemed that he heard the dense clangs of insects in the distance, and Entik suddenly turned back to the location of the insect nest and showed a hideous smile.
…………
In the wizard camp.
The war wizard tower was rising at an astonishing speed.
In just over ten days, the war wizard tower, which was 213 meters high, with 2 underground floors and 7 above-ground floors, had completed the construction of the tower body and was in an intense stage of witchcraft transformation.
After all, such a simple war wizard tower did not use high-value special stones, but only used local materials, using the most common mountain stones and loose sand and gravel solidified by witchcraft. Such materials would definitely not be able to withstand the harsh test of war.
Not to mention the large-scale bombardment of knights' combat skills, even the terrifying weight of the witch tower is enough to crush the foundation stone of the bottom layer into powder.
So as the witch tower rises step by step, more than a dozen wizards are constantly carving solid witch arrays on each huge stone of the tower body day and night to enhance the bearing capacity of these stones. Moreover, these temporary witch arrays cannot hinder the laying of the overall defense witch array of the witch tower in the later stage. So where should each witch array be etched, how should they be connected and intersected with each other? This job seems simple, but it is not something that can be done by just any wizard.
In addition to the construction of the war witch tower, the most lively place in the camp is the witch beast synthesis laboratory. A large number of jungle beasts were sent back to the camp from afar, and within an hour, they would become weird witch beasts and rush into the jungle in groups of three or five.
The guarding work outside the camp was handed over to the elite ghouls, each of whom had the strength not inferior to that of senior apprentices. They are a group of tireless sentinels, lurking in the bushes or treetops. Any creature with human breath will not be able to approach the camp within 3 miles.
In addition to these standing troops, there are also some wizards with strange abilities active on the edge of the jungle, monitoring the surrounding movements day and night. Those who enter the jungle recklessly for a little reward and land have never stepped out of the jungle again.
The plague toxin caused the greatest damage to a large number of magic knights in the last war. It is precisely because of the existence of this toxin that specifically erodes rune energy and magic horses that the demon hunters have become miserable infantry, losing the advantage of coming and going like the wind and traversing the mountains and forests.
Such an effective thing must be used to its full potential.
After this period of improvement and cultivation, a plague germ with a more powerful infectious effect has been created and passed to the hands of the lurkers in Blue Qiu City through covert means. If it weren't for the purpose of avoiding provoking the opponent to take action in advance, I'm afraid that with the wizards' methods, Lanqiu City would have become a dead city with tombs everywhere!
In the camp outside Blue Qiu City, the number of demon hunting knights is growing rapidly every day.
It seems that the powerful forces behind this plane have realized the danger of the wizards and are frantically hoarding the strongest power. And through secret channels, the wizard camp has also received news that the strongest man in this plane, the fourth-level holy knight Willis, has also invited reinforcements from the mysterious Dragon Valley and is traveling day and night. Go here.
It is conceivable that the moment he arrives here, it must be the moment when all the demon hunting knights come out in full force.
Therefore, what the top leaders of both parties can do is to continuously strengthen their own strength and consolidate their advantages.
The two camps, the Demon Hunter Knight and the Wizard, are like two crazy chariots that are constantly increasing, approaching each other at a terrifying speed. Maybe the next second, they will collide head-on without reservation.
As for who wins and who loses, no one can know. The only thing that can be known is that this is destined to be a life-and-death battle!
…………
It has been 21 days since the last bloody battle in the jungle.
One sunny afternoon, the opportunity for the war came silently.
While he was silently working on his witchcraft laboratory in the underground maze, Greem suddenly became alert and took out a contact crystal from his arms, which was flashing brightly and darkly with dazzling light.
Greem's spirit penetrated into it, and Lord Vergen's cold and stern voice immediately entered his mind.
"All wizards return to the camp immediately, all wizards return to the camp immediately... Any wizard who does not return to the camp within half an hour will be killed for defection. In addition, Crow, Plague and Blood Girl continue to lurk according to the original plan, waiting for my further orders... …”
The war is finally coming!
Greem's heart also sank slightly.
For this level of plane war, no wizard dares to pat his chest to ensure his own safety. Even Lord Vergen, the second-level commander with a certain command, may have a high chance of dying here. After all, if they fight together, he will definitely become the target of a beating by the strong men from the other plane.
As for the two third-level wizards, although they have been here for some time, they have never stepped out of the War Witch Tower. I don’t know how much strength they can exert under the powerful plane suppression! After all, a level 1 wizard still needs a day and a night to fully adapt to the laws of the plane here, while a level 2 wizard needs 5-7 days.
How long does it take for a wizard to reach level 3?
With traces of doubts, Greem hastily packed up everything in the underground labyrinth, and then left here with a flame jump.
And everywhere in the jungle, some wizards who were busy with their respective tasks also received the witchcraft messages from Lord Fogen one after another. They hurriedly abandoned their work, turned around and ran towards the camp.
After receiving the message, the evil insect Entik did not rush back, but rushed to the area where the crypt was located. When his figure hidden under the thick robe appeared at the entrance of the cave, a strange sound came from inside.
Immediately afterwards, hideous-looking carrion beetles crawled out one after another, gathered around Entik, and kept making sharp insect hisses. The insect hidden in the shadow of Entik's hood was also hissing and screaming, seeming to be communicating with this group of carrion beetles.
39 carrion beetles!
All of them possess terrifying strength that is not weaker than that of quasi-witches.
Once they gather into an army, I am afraid that all the first-level wizards will have only one way to save their lives: flee!
Scanning his eyes around these loyal insect soldiers surrounding him, Entik finally felt a sense of elation in his heart.
Damn Mary, damn Greem, now that my insect army has taken shape, how can you compare with me?
With a trace of satisfaction, Entik strode towards the camp.
The carrion beetle with black armor and green wings soared into the sky, its wings flapping rapidly behind it, flying above the forest tops, like a huge dark cloud, following Entik closely.
In the sky, there are people sitting on huge flying monsters, there are people with green wind wings on their backs, there are people who transform into beasts and run wild...
For a time, wizards scattered all over the jungle were rushing to the same place.
