Chapter 197 Faith Snipe

"Miss Martha, your weapons are not suitable for melee combat. Stand guard at the entrance of the garden to provide cover for Tata and me. Let's go to explore the way. If any diggers appear, you can shoot at them."

Miss Martha hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, accepted Joan's arrangement, stayed in front of the iron gate, and skillfully loaded the shotgun.

Joan first used his best "Hand of High Mage", remotely controlled the magic hand, and tightly grasped a milk bottle containing high-concentration insecticide. Then check the combat equipment you carry with you.

After everything was ready, Joan picked up the ivory amulet and summoned Tata, and found that the silly scarecrow was still holding the useless broom in his hand, and couldn't help laughing to himself.

"Tata, put down the broom and hold the pot lid with both hands... well, I mean your wooden shield."

It took about ten seconds for the animated scarecrow to barely comprehend his instructions.

Stiffly raised his left hand, spread his fingers, let the broom fall to the ground, then took the round pot lid with both hands, and placed it in front of his chest.

"Well done, Tata, turn left now! Attention! Walk!"

The scarecrow completely followed Joan's instructions, just holding the lid of the pot in both hands, walking towards the depths of the bushy garden in a slightly comical gesture.

"That broom is useless to the diggers. It's better to let Tata go ahead with a wooden shield to explore the way. If the diggers are disturbed and come out of the cave to attack Tata, we will take the opportunity to hunt and kill them." Joe Ann explained to Miss Martha the tactics she had come up with on the spur of the moment.

"I totally agree with your plan, Mr. Vader. In fact, just now I was still wondering how to lure the monster out of the hole."

Miss Martha hadn't finished speaking when there was a piercing neighing from the bushes opposite.

Joan rushed over without thinking!

By the pond ahead, a mound of earth from a grave is collapsing.

A huge and ferocious giant insect poked its head out of the deep hole in the center of the mound, rubbing its two sickle-like jaws and making harsh noises, threatening Tata who was approaching it.

Although Joan had seen illustrations of digging worms in books, the illustrations couldn't compare with living monsters after all.

Witnessing this giant worm crawling out of the burrow, the thick jointed limbs and sharp claws twisted viciously in front of his eyes, and the strong wind blew the pungent stench in his face, and he felt a strong sense of fear beyond description. Strangling Joan's heart, he froze in place, at a loss.

The activated scarecrow "Tata", who didn't know what to fear, still followed Joan's instructions and walked straight towards the digger.

If the burrower had a super intelligence comparable to that of humans, or even if its eyesight was better, it would be easy to distinguish between two humanoid prey within its field of vision.

However, the intelligence of burrowers is not much higher than that of ordinary insects. In addition, they spend most of their lives in dark underground tunnels, and their vision has been seriously degraded. Not only are their eyesight poor, but they can't distinguish between black and white color.

In order to make up for the visual defect, the burrower has evolved a special sense called "vibration perception", which uses the two tentacles hanging from the top of the head to sense the surrounding movement.

At this time, Joan stood still, and the digger couldn't detect his existence at all, but felt that Tata was walking towards him through his tentacles.

Only relying on "vibration perception", the burrower can't tell whether the walker is a human being or a scarecrow without flesh and blood that doesn't suit its appetite.

Its mind couldn't think of such a complicated problem, and it rushed forward and rushed straight to Tata.

boom!

The poor scarecrow was hit by the worm and fell on his back, rolling on the grass holding the pot lid.

The Digger was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue and cut off the neck of its prey with its sharp jaws, when a gunshot sounded from the opposite side!

The monster seemed to be hit head-on by an invisible hammer, and it threw its head back. Its ugly face sprayed out a large amount of green mucus similar to plasma, and it let out a painful neighing deep in its throat.

The shot that Miss Martha fired just now not only saved Tata, but also woke up Joan, and hurriedly remotely controlled the "Hand of the High Mage" to throw out the medicine bottle vigorously.

The glass bottle hit the hard exoskeleton of the burrower's head, shattered on the spot, and sprayed out a high concentration of insecticide.

Joan's hard work all day was not in vain, and the effect of the insecticide exceeded his expectations - this can be proved by the fact that the diggers rolled all over the ground in pain after being contaminated with the potion.

The effect of the insecticide greatly boosted Joan's confidence, and his nervousness calmed down. He grabbed the second bottle of insecticide and smashed it hard while the iron was hot.

puff!

The second bottle of potion happened to be thrown into the burrower's open throat.

This stupid monster probably thought that everything that fell into its mouth was edible, so it instinctively closed its mouth and bit the glass bottle into pieces.

The high-concentration insecticide filled the burrower's mouth, flowing into the digestive tract like hot magma, causing the strange worm to curl up in pain, and its groans became weak.

Seeing that the burrower had lost its resistance, Joan stopped wasting pesticides and instead used the "Hand of High Mage" to remotely control the "Electric Blade" to stab it hard in the head.

The dagger overflowing with electric light pierced through the giant insect's carapace, and the sharp edge touched the soft flesh and blood inside the shell, immediately sparking an electric current!

The giant worm was completely paralyzed by the electricity. Its body, which was originally curled up into a ball, stretched out limply, and lay paralyzed on the grass.

Miss Martha reloaded, aimed at the burrower's head, and pulled the trigger again.

With a "bang" gunshot, the large lead bullet precisely hit the part hit by the previous shot, blasting the digger's head and completely dying.

Joan looked back at Miss Martha, amazed by her precise marksmanship.

The distance was more than a hundred feet, and the field of vision was disturbed by lush flowers and shrubs. Two shots in a row hit the same part. Even Roger Tyndall, the well-known "sharpshooter" in Delin Town, did not have such accuracy. Who is Miss Martha? How did it work?

At first, Joan thought Miss Martha was just lucky.

But I soon remembered that most of the priests of "Queen of Karma" Timothy are proficient in a special shooting technique called "Faith Sniping". It is said that they can use their own intuition to correct shooting accuracy, just like the legendary "blind shooting", You can shoot enemies in the dark with your eyes closed.

With such amazing marksmanship, it's no wonder Miss Martha dared to offer to help him deal with the diggers.

Joan's gaze returned to the digger.

He used the "Hand of High Mage" to remotely control the dagger, and stabbed the giant worm's corpse twice, only to find that the corpse remained stiff and motionless, so he was sure that it was really dead.

Several book friends guessed the question in Chapter 45 correctly.

Although today is Monday, I can't lift my spirits in various ways, but I still have to keep my promise, and I will write an extra chapter anyway.

This is the second chapter. If there is no accident, there should be three more chapters.
