Chapter 148: Mace Is Not Dead or Dead (Today's Task 10,000 Words 4 Updates Completed)

"The Rift Worm, also known as the Void Worm or the Starry Sky Worm, is a creature that came to this world from a demiplane through a space-time rift.

Rift worms have no ability to reproduce. Ever since the old guy Time and Space Dragon destroyed that demiplane with a breath of dragon breath, rift worms have gradually disappeared from the main world. I didn't expect you to still encounter them. "

Hearing that it was a visitor from another world, Krober became even more curious, but for now he still had to deal with business first.

"Then is this rift insect strong in combat? How can we deal with it?"

On the other side of the spiritual contract, Shen Zi, whose sleep was disturbed, patted the ground with her tail in dissatisfaction.

"The Rift Worm itself is a magical creature, but it has no combat capabilities. Its few abilities are to absorb magic power, flesh and blood clones, and erosion.

Absorbing magic power is actually parasitism. It can be parasitic on another magical life and complete its growth by absorbing the other person's magic power.

And erosion is the purpose of parasitism. When the magic power of the magical creature is absorbed, the rift insect can completely devour the parasitized magical creature through erosion. Not only will it be greatly enhanced, but also a part of the parasitized creature's power will be obtained. ability.

The flesh and blood clone is its only ability to act on the outside world. It uses magic power to build flesh and blood, so that it can have a certain combat effectiveness. "

Looking at the pustules on the body of the Venus flytrap elf, Krober knew that these should be traces of erosion caused by the slit bug parasitizing on its body.

Krober touched the head of the flytrap elf and told it not to worry, he would have a way to deal with the gap insect.

At this time, Deep Purple's words sounded from Krober's heart through the psychological contract.

"You have to pay attention. If the rift insect parasitizes the elf, the rift insect will not be on the elf itself, but on the Cordyceps sinensis."

etc? Cordyceps? Wouldn't that be...

Krober turned his attention to the giant flytrap lying dead on the ground.

At this time, the giant Venus flytrap was still motionless, lying obediently on the ground.

"Can the parasitized elves make a contract? My eyes are completely dark now and I can't find the location of the rift insect at all."

"If it were someone else, it would definitely not work, but for you, you can just make a contract casually.

If that unlucky rift insect dares to come through the contract to absorb your spiritual power, you can just eat it.

Anyway, they are all magical creatures, and their taste should be similar. Just use your expertise and trick them into coming over. "

He ignored Deep Purple's strange words.

Because he knew that he woke it up suddenly, Shen Zi felt angry to get up.

Krober stretched out his finger in front of the Venus flytrap elf.

"Make a contract with me, little one, and I will help you drive these parasites out of your body."

When the Venus flytrap elf saw Clobber's outstretched finger, his eyes were full of hope and excitement, but he was worried that his condition would drag down the kind man who fed him food.

"Tweet."

Seeing the expression of the elf in his arms, how could Krobo not know what it was thinking in its heart? He sighed in his heart at the elf's kindness and stretched his finger forward a little further.

"Tweet?"

"Trust me, little one, and see how I can help you solve them."

Perhaps it was Krober's confidence that infected the Venus flytrap elf, or perhaps it was its own desire to survive that prompted this action.

With the conclusion of a contract between one person and one elf, Krober also felt that the elf in his arms had some kind of blood connection with him.

Contract, concluded!

"I just know Jiujiu, Jiujiu! Just call me Jiujiu."

After giving Jiujiu a name, Krober quickly asked about the location of the Rift Worm.

But before Krober could ask, the black pustules on Jiujiu's body began to move, and the giant flytrap also began to twitch violently.

The black pustules on Jiujiu's body quickly disappeared, and at the same time, a fist-sized purple-black bug emerged from the body of the giant flytrap.

This insect has a pair of sharp forelimbs and a single red vertical eye on its forehead.

I saw it arching its body, transforming its body into a magical form, and transferred it to Krober's mind through the contract between Jiujiu and Krober.

Um? ?

Door-to-door delivery? ?

The taste... isn't very good either.

Deep Purple lied to me!

Seeing that Jiujiu had returned to normal, Krober happily touched its head.

"See, I've already taken care of that hateful parasite."

Krober, who originally wanted to celebrate with Jiujiu, sensed through the spiritual contract that Jiujiu was still in a state of tension, anxiety, and fear.

"What's wrong? Tweet?"

Krober quickly comforted Jiujiu and asked about the specific situation.

"And...there's another one of those bugs."

"What? There's another one?"

Krober was shocked.

Only then did he remember that if the crack insect only parasitized one elf, then the dense roots in the ground would not make sense.

And the behavior of the bugs feeding the flytrap is more like one of the slit bugs helping another of its kind.

Doesn't this mean that the rift insect has completely devoured an elf?

Damn it!

If that rift insect senses the death of its kind, it will definitely go into a state of rage.

If it had a bit of intelligence, it would know that Klober, who easily killed its kind, is not to be trifled with.

Who would it attack then?

Apart from Klober, where else are there living people?

No! !

Klober quickly carried the Chirp Cordyceps and the Chirp itself and rushed towards the seaside.

————

At this time, the soldiers who were supposed to be waiting for Klober's return on the ship suddenly felt that something strange seemed to have happened in the jungle.

"No! There are enemies! Everyone prepare to fight!"

One of the soldiers found that many humanoid monsters composed of bright red rhizomes appeared in the forest.

"Quick, quick, quick! Spear and shield soldiers block them, and archers prepare to attack with rockets."

Although these soldiers have not experienced many wars, they still have basic war literacy.

Mace is a member of the Spear and Shield Soldiers.

The reason why he became a Spear and Shield Soldiers is not because he only knows this, but because he likes the feeling of standing in front to protect his teammates.

After seeing the enemy attack, he quickly followed his elder brother Old Hans to set up the array and prepare to fight the enemy.

"Fire!"

As rockets appeared one after another on the monsters, the kerosene attached to the arrows burned fully on its body.

But the monster seemed to have no sense of pain and continued to walk slowly towards them.

But it was useless.

Finally, under the burning of the flames, the monster turned into a pile of charcoal.

The death of the enemy greatly inspired the morale of the soldiers, and they fought more bravely.

But as the number of enemies gradually increased, the archers' attacks gradually showed flaws.

At this time, it was time for the spear and shield soldiers to show their skills.

Because they were worried that the monsters would damage the ship, the spear and shield soldiers, led by the captain, jumped off the ship and fought the enemy in close combat.

However, unlike the results of the archers, the attacks of the spear and shield soldiers had no effect on these monsters.

"Use kerosene!"

In the end, it was Metz who threw a small bottle of kerosene he carried with him on a monster.

Then he ignited it with a flint, and successfully killed the monster.

"Mes! Be careful!!"

Mes, who was feeling happy for having successfully killed the enemy, suddenly heard the voice of his elder brother, Old Hans.

Hey, what?

A shadow suddenly appeared in front of Mes.

"Bang!!!"

This future official knight, the first noble knight from the tribe of the Sea People appointed by Krober.

He died in obscurity on the battlefield of conquering Green Leaf Island.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

As the number of monsters gradually increased, the defense line formed by the spear and shield soldiers had collapsed, and only four or five of the ten-man team were left.

"Golden Feather Arrow!"

At this time, Krober arrived late, and after seeing the situation on the battlefield below, he hurriedly joined the battlefield.

"Where is the captain of the spear and shield soldiers?"

Looking at the chaotic spear and shield soldiers, Krober asked.

"Lord, the captain died in battle!"

It was Old Hans who answered Krober's question.

"What about Mes? Let him lead the team!"

"My lord... Mes... he is dead too!"

"Dead?"

Krober suddenly became silent.

He increased the fighting spirit of the Golden Feather Arrow, and saw that the Golden Feather Arrow was like a Gatling gun, hitting the approaching monsters into sieves one after another.

"Then you will be responsible for commanding the spear and shield team."

"Yes! Lord!"

As the monsters at close range were killed by Krober one after another, Old Hans had enough time to reorganize the team.

Looking at the monsters that were slowly moving towards the ship.

Krober suddenly remembered what he heard from Mace on the training ground when he was standing in the attic.

"I must be the first to become a formal knight, a knight of Lord Krober, and I even have a title in mind! It's called Krober's Blade!"

But the future formal knight didn't even have a knight's sword engraved with his own sword, and even his armor was borrowed from the territory.

So the only thing that greeted his words was the laughter of the soldiers.

Later, Krober almost forgot that there was a person named Mace.

It was just a chance that he heard Hyer talk about Mace getting married.

He sighed in his heart that even the child who was about to starve to death at that time was going to get married.

I don’t know what he was thinking at that time, he decided to give him the knight sword he bought in Moonlight City as a wedding gift.

Thinking of the knight sword that is still in his study, he can’t help but feel a little empty in his heart.

Now he knows.

That is the feeling of a lord towards his soldiers and his people.

It is a responsibility, an obligation, and the comfort of a lord knowing that his people have a better life.

Maybe some people will say that it’s just some soldiers who died.

Yes, it’s just some soldiers who died.

As the person who personally created the Holy Beast Island Massacre, Krober has long been accustomed to blood and killing.

But he is not accustomed to sacrifice.

People say that a man’s growth includes sacrifice.

Before, Krober didn’t believe it, but now, he believes it.

The development value of Green Leaf Island itself is very high, and it can bring Krober a considerable amount of benefits.

His best option was to kill these monsters one by one, then find the body of the rift worm and wipe it out.

All he had to pay was the lives of some soldiers.

As a qualified noble, he knew what choice he should make.

Krober looked up at the sky, which was still the same refreshing blue as yesterday.

However, those who swore to follow him were already dead.

He looked around at the soldiers who were holding their weapons tightly because of nervousness, and also noticed their legs trembling with fear but not taking a step back.

He put away his sword and ignored the group of monsters that were approaching the ship.

He took a deep breath.

He uttered two words:

"Dragon Breath!!"
