Chapter 0674 Underground Secret War

In a hidden cave 100 meters underground, a new insect nest is slowly being conceived.

The remaining 23,000 insect soldiers were dispatched by Bilis in batches, rushing to the surface to plunder blood and food everywhere at the risk of being wiped out by the elves. Although they brought back many jungle creatures, their own losses were not small, and 1,000 to 2,000 insect soldiers were lost almost every day.

At this rate, Bilis will face the dilemma of no insects available in less than ten days!

The only remaining six demon mantises were brought by him all the time, and finally preserved some high-level combat insects for him. On the edge of the distant west coast, some of the scattered insect soldiers and demon mantises were scattered and hid in various corners of the magic forest.

Once this place is lost, even if Bilis's body is killed by the elves, he can rely on the king insect hidden in another insect army to revive again. However, the price paid for such a resurrection is too high, and it is very likely that his strength will regress to the level of the first level.

So if it is not necessary, he is unwilling to escape the enemy's encirclement by this method!

After the attempts of the previous few days, the insect wizard Bilis has given up the fantasy of asking for help from the lady Mary. It was because of his reckless action to ask for help that the Spear of Vengeance tracked his trail with the weak elemental fluctuations.

In that battle, he was even forced to give up 10,000 insect troops to act as bait to lure away the enemy.

Unfortunately, the Magic Forest is the home of forest elves after all.

Here, any slight movement or clues can attract the attention of the elves. So Bilis's arduous escape is destined to be so rugged and bumpy, and he was almost blocked in the temporary residence by the third-level elf several times.

He chased and ran with the Spear of Vengeance Aigaye for more than 6,000 miles of cat and mouse games. So far, Bilis has not officially met with her. But even so, his insect army has fallen from 170,000 in its heyday to more than 20,000 now, and the first-level intermediate war insect demon mantis has also dropped from 27 to 6 now.

The sadness and blood and tears here are hard to understand and appreciate if you are not the party involved!

Here, under this strange Eagle's Nest Mountain, although the insect wizard Bilis never leaves his house, he can still roughly understand the situation outside through the hidden eye worms.

It can be seen that his previous willful behavior has completely angered the elves. Every day, the elf air cavalry that circles and patrols near Eagle's Nest Mountain never stops. And the jungle is guarded like a copper wall by the elves' flying scouts and druids disguised as small animals.

Without sufficient blood food, it is difficult to hatch a steady stream of insect troops, and without high-quality flesh and blood, it is difficult to breed powerful war insects. However, at this moment, the surroundings have been surrounded by enemies, and any insect swarm sent out to the ground will never return, but the insect wizard Bilis still has not given up the hope of escape.

Taking advantage of some gaps before the elves' encirclement closed, Bilis sent a large number of insect troops to luckily snatch back some blood food. By using these blood foods, plus some sacrifices from ordinary insect swarms, Bilis finally bred some special insects with special abilities in the new insect nest - digging worms.

This is a strange insect that looks like a big earthworm. Its body is as long as twelve meters, and its front end is densely packed with countless sharp teeth in concentric circles. These saw teeth like roller knives extend all the way into its dark body, which is its basic tool for gnawing and crushing everything.

Digging worms are not picky about meat or cold food. As long as it is organic matter that can be absorbed, its terrifying stomach can crush and digest it.

Under the command of Bilis, although the insect swarm also has the ability to burrow into the ground, their evolved body structure is still mainly based on tearing and gnawing flesh and blood creatures. Using them to dig holes underground to escape is not only too noisy, but also incredibly slow.

Therefore, in order to dig a way out, Bilis had to sacrifice the insect swarm a little and use their flesh and blood and shells to breed this special digging worm.

When the first burrowing worm broke through the worm nest and appeared in front of Bilis, he was as excited as when he successfully promoted to the worm wizard. Unfortunately, before he could take a closer look at the burrowing worm, more than a dozen worms were killed in one fell swoop in a worm tunnel half a mile away.

The worm wizard Bilis sighed helplessly, and then grinned with gnashing teeth.

Those druids have become more and more daring these days, repeatedly breaking into this underground maze, looking for Bilis's traces in the winding worm tunnels and underground cracks.

Among them, some are combat teams composed of 1st-level druids. As long as Bilis sends out the remaining six demon mantises, in this narrow space where it is difficult to exert power, it can also teach these druids some unforgettable lessons.

However, there are some 2nd-level druids hidden in many druid teams.

If the demon mantis encounters them, the chance of successfully escaping is less than 30%.

Therefore, whenever the insect soldiers acting as spies on the periphery were killed by the druids, it was Bilis' turn to hesitate, not knowing whether to send the demonized mantis to encircle and suppress them.

This torment tortured him almost every day and every moment!

In previous battles, when encountering an unknown enemy situation, Bilis could only choose to give up counterattacks with resentment. The main reason was that he had to worry about the future, and he had to keep a group of soldiers who could protect himself in his hands.

Now that there are digging worms, there is hope for escape, and the thoughts and mentality of the worm wizard Bilis have undergone a huge change. The previous desperate escape has become the current advance and retreat, and Bilis has the mind to have a good fight with the enemy.

So, the insect army that had been conservative and passively defensive in the past few days once again poured into the tunnels and worm tunnels in large numbers, and began to attack the druid battle teams from all directions.

As the intensity of the battle increased, some of the unclear intelligence before also gathered in Bilis's mind like raindrops. When the battle situation of the entire underground maze was presented to him at a glance, he quickly selected his battle opponent for himself.

This is a battle team composed of three 1st-level druids.

One of them transformed into a giant python more than ten meters long, responsible for exploring and clearing the way in front. The two behind, one turned into a giant mole, flapping its pointed nose and sniffing the breath in the tunnel, and the other turned into a toad covered with pimples, lying on the giant python and blinking its huge eyelids to monitor the surrounding movements.

Along the way, the sour and foul smell in the underground tunnel made the three druids sick to death. Although they have changed into the appearance of magic beasts and have the power of magic beasts, their hearts are still human.

Therefore, they can only endure the harsh and filthy environment underground, but they can't like it!

The three formed a team. The giant python is good at sensing the slight vibration of the earth, the flashing mouse can smell the strange smell, and the poison dart frog has excellent dynamic perception. They complement each other and cooperate tacitly.

While silently exploring the fork and direction of the tunnel in front of them, they used natural spells to leave special magic marks along the way. Thanks to their step-by-step progress, most of the underground maze dug out by the swarm under the Eagle's Nest Mountain has been lit up.

Perhaps in less than two days, they will be able to thoroughly investigate this intricate underground maze with crisscrossing forks, wormways, and branch corridors. By then, the entire underground maze will be full of magic marks, and it will not be so easy for those insects to run around in the darkness and chaos underground.

As long as the figure of the insect wizard can be found, with the help of several 2nd-level druid masters, that abominable guy will never be able to escape from here!

…………

The dark and deep narrow tunnels are winding in front of us.

It's dark, and if there is no dark vision, surface creatures can't see anything here.

The height and width of the tunnels here are no more than one meter. If those elf archers come down, I'm afraid they can only crawl forward with sad faces. If it were those elf warriors who are good at using double swords, they probably wouldn't even be able to draw their swords here, let alone exert any combat effectiveness.

So in terms of adaptability to the battlefield, the all-purpose profession of Druid is really more suitable than other combat professionals.

"No... We seem to be surrounded by the enemy!"

The giant python, which was the first snake, suddenly stopped swimming and used its keen body sense to detect the familiar rustling noises in all the insect tunnels and tunnels within a radius of half a mile.

It seems that, maybe, probably, a large number of insect troops are rushing towards their location from all directions through the winding tunnels. Since the insect swarm suffered several serious blows, such a large-scale insect army raid has been rare.

"How about we retreat first and report the movement of the insect swarm?" The flashing mouse raised his body, and a humanized hesitant expression appeared on his furry gray face.

At this moment, there are eleven druid teams looking for the insect wizard underground, and only five of them have 2nd-level druid masters hiding. Unfortunately, they didn't!

So when the flash mouse noticed the restlessness of the insect swarm in the distance, it couldn't help but shrink back in fear.

After all, in this narrow and closed space, the combat power they can exert is still very limited. Those powerful natural spells can't be cast at all, otherwise the collapsed soil and gravel alone will be enough to kill them.

"If we retreat rashly, those insects will definitely take the opportunity to destroy the marks we left. In this way, our whole day's work will be in vain. Let's simply not advance or retreat. Thor, go to the fork on the right. There is a stone hall 30 meters away from us. Although the space is not large, it is enough for us to fight inside. I have sent a message for help. As long as we stay here for a while, the surrounding teams will definitely come to support us..." In the end, it was the oldest poison dart frog who croaked and decided on the strategy.

The three-person team did not hesitate.

The flashing rats and poison dart frogs pounced on the giant python, and swam forward quickly along the dark tunnel under his load, and rushed straight into the rightmost passage at the three-way intersection that suddenly appeared.

Almost one body length away from them, dense rustling sounds came from far away, and a dense swarm of insects rushed out from various passages and forks, and then followed the giant python without hesitation and pounced into the right passage.

For a moment, the sound of dense shells rubbing and hitting filled the entire underground passage! nt
