Chapter 144 141: Gaia Worm

If you want to destroy the transportation channel to the point that it cannot be repaired in a short period of time, it is necessary to completely transform the topography of this area.

And the movement of transforming the terrain is not insignificant, and it is very likely to cause the detection and counterattack of the Linfeng City army and the monsters in the mountains——

In fact, Levi and Ogoang were aware of this risk from the beginning.

However, after weighing the pros and cons, Ogang believed that this was still the method that could preserve the combat power of Alto City's army to the greatest extent, so he made up his mind to implement it this way.

And Revi finally agreed to this battle. First, he was flattered by Ogoang's words and could not refuse.

Secondly, it's because of his arrogance.

As an earth mage born in Oliha Steel, he was confident that as long as he didn't face Lin Feng City's only eighth-level knight, he would be invincible in the Lin Feng Mountains.

As long as you retreat in time after the mission is completed, there is a high probability that you can evacuate before the Warcraft riot and leave this mess to Linfeng's army.

However, the reality turned out to be slightly different from what was expected.

Levi is a close confidant of His Highness Roderick. If he dies, His Highness will definitely blame Alto City.

So Ogoang immediately issued a retreat order.

Yuna's face was a little pale, partly due to her physical weakness, and partly due to being frightened by this worm monster.

Listening to the deep, resonant whimpering that spread across a radius of more than ten kilometers, I am afraid that the person who entered the battlefield was at least a powerful monster of level 8 or above!

At this time, Nolen and Yuna, who were suspended in the sky, finally saw the whole snake-like monster clearly.

"The Gaia worm, I have seen an introduction to it in some literature."

"With uncertainty about the strength of Linfeng City and the strength of the Warcraft, are you going to bet all our combat power on this possibility?"

Its body width from "head" to "tail" is almost equal, and it has no obvious features such as eyes and nose.

No, this is not actually a "snake monster" to be precise.

The snake-like monster easily knocked down the orichalcum giant and immediately wrapped it around with its body.

The more than 20-meter-tall orichalcum colossus was originally considered tall, but in front of the snake-like monster that was a hundred meters long and ten meters thick, it seemed like a tiny toy that was vulnerable to a blow.

Levi did completely destroy the transportation road, but Linfeng's army responded faster than they imagined.

"Now that the mission has been completed and the strategic goal has been achieved, I don't think he will demand these details and forcefully blame us."

……

"As for Levi... there is no one who does not sacrifice in war, I believe His Highness should also understand this truth.

Ogang said coldly, "I have ordered people to send out a signal. If they can survive, they can naturally retreat and join us.

In the face of a huge gap in strength, this is not a desperate move, but a tactical retreat!
Now that the established fact has happened, as long as Roderick has some city power and knows how to control people, he will never use this matter to put pressure on Alto City.

This snake-like monster was covered in silver-gray scales. After it rushed out of the ground, it rushed straight towards the orichalcum giant statue.

"What kind of monster is this?"

If you can complete this mission just by paying these prices, then these sacrifices are worth it.

Under the restraint of the white raven, he has not been able to evacuate in time with the escort until now.

She had never seen such a weird monster before. This big thing looked really unique.

At the same time, the escort team also included two seventh-level extraordinary beings from the army and many elite combat forces.

Rather than saying it is a "snake monster", it is more appropriate to say it is a "worm monster".

Not to mention that Levi is dead, even if he is still alive to control the Colossus, he will never be able to break free from the snake-like monster.

This was also the reason why he dared to plot against Revie.

At this time, in the woods.

The adjutant hesitated, "Maybe we still have time to respond to them..."

"Woo-"

In fact, when the high-level monsters arrived, Levi had already been killed on the spot by Linfeng City.

And as time passed by, the last force also arrived at the scene——

Sensing that the orichalcum colossus was no longer moving, the snake-like monster raised its "head" at the front and made a strange hissing sound.

Accompanied by a thick whimpering sound coming from below, a wide snake shape that was a hundred meters long broke out of the earth like a whale leaping out of the sea.

The entire body of the colossus is made of hard, special metal rock, which was originally not something that ordinary creatures could eat.

Correspondingly, there is a round mouth that shrinks like an anus at the end of both ends. It is not clear which side is its mouth and which side is its excretion port.

I saw the worm monster entangling the orichalcum colossus, and the abyssal mouth above it opened, swallowing the orichalcum colossus from the head down!
In just a few breaths, the dozens-meter-long colossus entered the worm monster's belly.

"But Lord Levi and the escort team are still there."

If their entire army is annihilated, it will be a big loss for Alto City.

As the snake's body began to tighten, even the body as hard as the Orichalcum Colossus began to twist, deform, and become fragmented.

After devouring the colossus in one breath, the worm monster's figure did not become bloated and huge, and its digestive power was as good as having an extra-dimensional stomach bag.

Of course, what he didn't expect was——

Nolen looked at the twisted and squirming monster below, his eyes slightly moved.

"Monsters that lurk underground or in the deep sea all year round always look weird. The Gaia worm is a good example. It does not need eyes and noses and has its own set of unique survival organs.

"Although there are very few sighting records related to it and its specific attack methods are not known, what can be confirmed is:

“It is active in areas with rich ley lines and feeds on ley line energy and any magical substances underground.

"Normally, it hardly appears on the surface, so it rarely interacts with humans. Generally speaking, it is considered a monster that is 'harmless to humans'.

"However, the monster that lives underground is particularly sensitive to earthquakes and terraforming. Perhaps this is why it rushed out to attack the orichalcum giant."

Although "harmless to humans," Gaia worms are not interested in preying on living creatures.

But it is a serious eighth-level monster. Once alerted, the destructive power it can cause cannot be underestimated.

Levi was also unlucky. He didn't expect that there happened to be a Gaia worm living under this area.

Because of the threat of the white raven, he not only caused an earthquake, but also summoned the orichalcum colossus to smash it with ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping pong.

To the Gaia worm, Levi's behavior was no different than beating gongs and drums next to his house in the middle of the night, and taking a dump at the door.

I am an eighth-level monster, can I bear this anger?

Then he went crazy on the spot, rushed out of the surface and threw the orichalcum giant statue to the ground. It is conceivable that as long as Levi is held back, even if he failed to snipe him just now, he will never be able to leave the Linfeng Mountains alive if the Gaia worm takes action.

However, once provoked, the anger of the eighth-level monster will not go away so easily.

After devouring the orichalcum colossus that had no resistance, it was not satisfied with it. Its hundred-meter-long body broke the trees along the way and rushed towards the guards on the side.

Being chased by such a monster, everyone in the escort team was scared to death.

Those with lower strength were unable to dodge and were directly swallowed whole by the ferocious bloody mouth of the Gaia worm, falling into the abyss of death.

"Run!"

A seventh-level knight in the lead shouted, "Hold on, Captain Ogang will come to save us soon!"

As early as the White Raven took action, the escort had already sent a signal for help to the base camp.

Calculating the time, Ogeang should have led reinforcements to meet them by now.

Although this worm monster is powerful, Ogeang is also an eighth-level transcendent.

Even if we don't defeat it, it should be possible to buy the troops some time to retreat...right?
"Soon-"

At this moment, the distant Alto City army raised a signal to retreat.

"What! The troops actually retreated?"

Everyone in the escort team looked at them with despair on their faces, "We haven't come back yet!"

They couldn't believe that the troops and regimental commander they trusted could sell them out so easily.

"I'll stop you, run as fast as you can!"

Seeing the worm monster charging at him again, one of the seventh-level knights showed a determined expression.

He jumped to the side to avoid the Gaia worm's maw attack, then jumped on top of its body and drew out his sword, pouring all his strength into it and stabbing it hard.

Under the full strength of the seventh-level knight, the shining knight's sword actually pierced the silver-gray scales of the Gaia worm, sinking half of the sword into its body!
But this injury is nothing to the Gaia worm, which is a hundred meters long and about ten meters wide. Instead, it makes it even more furious.

"Woo-"

Amid the neighing sound, the silver-gray scales on the Gaia worm's body suddenly began to change shape like a living creature.

Countless sharp silver spines suddenly emerged from the surface of the scales, turning the Gaia worm into the shape of a sea urchin.

The thorns penetrated extremely fast, and the seventh-level knight could not avoid it. The soles of his feet, thighs, lower body and arms were all penetrated, and he couldn't help but let out a shrill scream.

Then, the Gaia worm rolled its body, and the seventh-level knight who was skewered on the thorns and unable to move was sucked into it, and was crushed into a pulp with a "squeaking" sound.

"These scales are really magical." Nolan's eyes flashed when he saw this scene in the sky.

The thorns popping out of the silver-gray scales are very sharp when attacking, but they become very soft when the worm rolls, and can be quickly retracted. It is obviously extremely malleable.

This thing...maybe a good alchemy material.

Because they were in the air, the Gaia Worm did not regard him and Yuna as targets.

But for the guards below, the woods at this time were hell on earth.

The seventh-level knight who attempted to intercept the Gaia worm was quickly killed, but he at least gave the other seventh-level knight time to escape.

He exerted all his strength and ran desperately in the direction of the retreat flare, leaving the screams of his companions far behind him.

With the blessing of the seventh-level knight's physical fitness, he sprinted for two kilometers at full speed, and soon rushed out of the woods and saw the retreating Alto City army in the distance.

"Captain, save me!"

In the desperate situation, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope, and even his thighs, which were starting to get sore, became strong again at this moment.

"Has anyone escaped from being hunted by an eighth-level monster?"

Ogang suddenly looked back, his face suddenly turned ugly.

Although the seventh-level knight escaped, he did not escape completely.

Behind him, the Gaia worm was still chasing the sole survivor of the convoy.

In other words, while subconsciously escaping, this seventh-level knight was unconsciously leading it towards the direction of Alto City's main force!
"Miscalculation." Ogang's cold sweat broke out.

He calculated a lot and considered a lot.

Not only did they want to preserve the combat effectiveness of the large army, but they also had a slight chance of withdrawing the peacekeeping escorts.

If the mission is successful and they all come back smoothly, wouldn't everyone be happy?

But in the end, the success fell short. Although the retreat signal brought a teammate who successfully retreated, it also attracted the hatred of the Gaia worm.

It’s better not to come back!

Ogang was upset in his heart. If he had known it, he would have done it more cruelly.

But there seems to be nothing that can be done about it. Even if the flares are not released, the people in the escort team know where the large forces will retreat, and the survivors will eventually catch up with them.

You can't just tell them from the beginning, "You have been abandoned, go and die, and don't have anything to do with us," right?

If he does this, his prestige in the army will undoubtedly plummet, and it will not be as satisfying as a head-on decisive battle.

But the matter has come to this, and there is no point in thinking about it.

The Gaia worm has arrived near the large army in Alto City, and only he can deal with it at this time.

Ogang gritted his teeth, patted his horse and turned back, shouting loudly:
"The Mage Team and the Knight Team are ready to face the enemy!"

"Yes!"

The large army began to disperse, and the most elite knights of Alto City stepped forward, preparing to fight this huge and terrifying worm monster.

In the fierce battle that was about to begin, Nolen used his invisibility technique and quietly followed the Gaia worm in the sky.

"I thought I caught a thief, but I didn't expect to stab the old man."

He stuffed another spare steel nail into Gangnir's magazine and silently observed the situation of the enemy's large force through the scope.

After a while, he found the intercepted Flamel convoy in the team. Alto City seemed to be transporting it back as a trophy.

It seems that the goods are still there, but I don’t know if the people accompanying them are safe?
These entourage are not ordinary guards, many of them are senior alchemists.

To Linfeng City and Flamel, their value is higher than alchemy weapons.

Noren paused for a moment, and then turned his sights to Ogeang, the leader of the Alto Knights who was surrounded by the crowd, with a cold look in his eyes:
“Not only did they steal my people and goods, but they also made a mess here.

"It's time for you to repay the price of plotting against Linfeng City."
