The shadow of death enveloped the mercenary group.

Although mercenary is a high-risk profession, Blue Ape has not lost people in the mission for a long time. This time, he lost two brothers, which immersed everyone in grief.

But death has just begun...

The mercenary group evacuated very quickly. Five mercenaries in a group kept a distance of two or three steps between each other, moved forward carefully, and were always on guard against sudden attacks from the ground.

The mercenary group had just walked a few hundred meters and attacks followed one after another.

A ground at the end of the team suddenly sank and a gray giant insect jumped out.

The mercenary, who was wary of it, discovered the attack at the first time this time. His eyes were always focused on a mercenary behind him whistling, and he pulled the trigger in his hand to the bottom.

Three crossbow arrows shot out from close range flew towards the Demon-Eating Worm with powerful power.

Three dull sounds came in succession, and arrows hit!

However, the speed of the demon-eating insect pounced on him has not decreased at all.

Traveling underground all year round, making the Demon-Eating Worm's skin as hard as rocks and covered with wrinkles. **This pure power weapon is difficult to cause damage to it.

The other four mercenaries in this group also turned around and shot as soon as they heard the warning, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

But the continuous shooting only slightly slowed down the attack speed of the Demon-Eating Worm. It also had several crossbow arrows inserted into it, but the target of the attack was still the mercenary at the end of the team.

The Blue Ancestor's mercenary was well trained. Seeing that the crossbow arrow attack was ineffective, he threw away the ** in his hand almost at the same time. A shield-holding mercenary stepped forward and stood in front, and the other four mercenaries quickly pulled out their respective weapons.

The shield-holding mercenary had no time to lift the round shield in his hand slightly, and the Demon-Devouring Worm hit him head-on.

What the mercenary did not expect was that the moment the Demon-Devouring Worm hit the shield, his open black mouth cracked again, almost his entire head cracked, swallowing the shield in one mouthful, and the mercenary's entire arm was swallowed.

The huge devouring force pulled the mercenary's body into the mouth of the Demon-Eating Worm. A mercenary next to him was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He cut off his arms with one knife and smashed his body to one side.

The demon-eating insect that exposed the whole picture was more than four meters long and was as thick as a bucket. The three mercenaries surrounded him took the opportunity to chop the sword and axe in their hands towards the head of the demon-eating insect.

The three mercenaries had a full-strength blow, each of which was slashed at the Demon-Devouring Worm.

However, for the hard skin of the Demon-Devouring Worm, the attack of the third-level warrior did not constitute fatal damage at all. Each attack only cut a small wound on the Demon-Devouring Worm, but the pain completely angered the Demon-Devouring Worm.

The Demon-Devouring Worm swung his body, turned his head suddenly, and made a slamming action like a snake snatching.

The mercenary who was attacked staggered back, but how could he retreat faster than the Demon-Devouring Worm? I felt a flash in front of my eyes, and a big mouth covered with small teeth was already in front of me. At that moment, the god of death had arrived, and the mercenary was so scared that he was on the spot.

Just as the mouth of the insect swallowed him, his huge head suddenly exploded in front of his eyes, and the yellowish brown blood splashed his head and face.

After saving his life in front of the God of Death, the mercenary suddenly collapsed on the ground.

The one who took action was the elf Ilaya, and only his arrows could be so fast.

It is definitely not a good thing that Ilaya took action so early!

The death of this demon-eating insect also kicked off the attack of the insect swarm.

From time to time, huge bugs suddenly emerged from the ground and launched attacks on the mercenary groups. Sometimes two or three demon-eating insects emerged at the same time.

The attacks became increasingly dense, and no matter how careful the Blue Ape Mercenary Group was, casualties were inevitably increasing.

The third-level mercenaries are no match for the same level of monsters. Only Cairns, Iraya and Angus and other warriors above the war lieutenant can effectively kill these insects. Even Adeline's fire magic is greatly reduced against these insects.

The attacks of these insects are too strange. They travel quickly underground and rely on the heat emitted by organisms to locate the target of their prey. Therefore, they can always choose unexpected places to get out and attack the mercenary group.

Sometimes the pit even appears directly at the mercenary's feet. The mercenary only feels that the ground under his feet suddenly becomes empty and falls into the mouth of the Demon-Devouring Worm the next second.

Cairns and his men rushed left and right to protect the entire team. As long as there were insects showing, they would rush over and rush to kill them immediately, even if a mercenary was about to be buried in the insect's mouth after a second.

The mercenary group was moving forward with difficulty, killing thirty or forty insects along the way. Tony and Angus were already panting, Adeline's fireball was getting smaller and smaller, but the attack of the Demon-Eating Worm did not tend to weaken at all.

Arthur and several musk oxen were always protected at the center of the team and were closely protected by the entire mercenary group. At the beginning of the battle, Arthur shot two arrows at a close insect, but the damage caused to the Demon-Eating Worm was not as good as the crossbow arrows that were shooting at close range.

Seeing that the mercenaries whom he was familiar with were injured or devoured by demon-eating insects from time to time, Arthur felt a deep sense of powerlessness. At that moment, it seemed that he had returned to the orc camp, watching his companions being selected and killed, but he could only pray that the next one would not be himself.

Arthur pursed his lips tightly, and the veins on the back of the hand holding the bow were exposed.

Tony cut through the jaw of a demon-eating insect, inserted its cracked mouth together again, and turned his head to shout at Cairns: "Boss, think of a solution, the swarm should be chasing us and moving, so that if this continues, you will never escape the hunting ground of these insects."

Cairns jumped over and cut off the head of the bug that Tony was stuck.

Cairns inserted the tip of the sword with both hands to the ground, leaning on the hilt of the sword, but his eyes looked at the few musk oxen protected in the middle of the team.

Because of the concerns about mission items, equipment and attacks that come at any time, the mercenary group could not move faster, but if they gave up these things and tried their best to escape, the demon-eating insects moving underground would not catch up with the warriors running on the ground.

Keynes gritted his teeth and made a decision in an instant, "Tony, Angus, the box on the back of the musk ox in the middle of your back, let's rush out quickly."

"What should I do if there is the rest?" Adeline couldn't help asking.

"Leave it alone, rush out first! I'll open the way, Ilaya cuts the back, everyone follows me and rushes out with all their might!" Cairns gave the order to retreat.

The Demon-Eating Worm's attack continued, but the entire mercenary group ran away. This was a race against death, and the mercenaries who fell behind had only one ending!
