Whoosh!
A sharp arrow pierced through the air, and the whirlwind dissipated with a bang. The remaining fragments scattered on the ground. ≧
"You guys, quickly get rid of them!"
On the ship, Susumi was commanding and fighting at the same time.
They were now besieged by a large number of whirlwinds. Because of the close combat, most of the weapons on the ship were useless. Now, the Emerald Dragons could only fight on their own.
Although they managed to disperse many of the whirlwinds, many of the dragons were also shredded by the whirlwinds.
In addition to the battle in front of her, Susumi was also worried about something else, and that was … about the Scholar.
Susumi opened the door to the cabin and quickly ran into the command room. There were many communication devices in the command room, all of which looked like discs placed on the ground. Susumi turned on a disc-shaped communication device, and a three-dimensional image suddenly appeared on the disc. On the image, there was a message sent by the Scholar.
Every time there was a message, something on Susumi's body would ring. However, that thing could not directly read the message, so it had to come down.
"They're … trapped?"
Susumi saw that the message said that they had found Maya, but were now trapped underground and needed Susumi's help.
There was no problem with help, but … where were they?
Susumi realized that the message did not mention any location, which made Susumi very confused. She thought to herself. Then, she sent a message to the Scholar.
"Beep! The target is not in the reception area. " The communication device immediately said to Susumi, "Please wait until the target is in the reception area."
"Not in the reception area … What's going on?"
At the same time. On the other side.
"Ga! "It means that they can't receive our signal over there!"
The Scholar, a few Emerald Dragons, and Maya were deep underground. The Scholar was using its communication device to send a message to Susumi.
However, it found that the message above indicated that the target was unable to receive the message. It said that the target was not in the area, but most importantly, when sending messages in this kind of place, the message would say 'no signal', or that the signal could not be received. It would not say 'the target is not in the area', which meant that the target was unable to receive the message.
This made the Scholar feel very strange.
However. The Scholar and the Emerald Dragons here had to face the threat in front of them first. Another strange object emerged from the sand in front of them.
This object was olive-shaped and more than three meters tall. It seemed to be very hard because its shell was covered with barnacles.
There were three holes on its surface, and something seemed to be moving in the holes.
"What exactly is that?"
Looking at this thing, the Emerald Dragons were puzzled. One Emerald Dragon asked Maya, "Can this be eaten?"
"I don't know. I can't tell," Maya said. "But, it feels familiar."
The Emerald Dragon asked, "What's the sense of familiarity?"
"… I also have a familiar feeling." The Scholar took out the communication device. She turned it on and pressed a few buttons. "… I got it!"
"They are very similar, aren't they?" The Scholar compared a picture in the communication device with the object in front of them. They looked … almost exactly the same.
"What is this?" An Emerald Dragon poked its head over to take a look. It realized that the image was of a creature without an upper limb and standing on two legs. The creature's head was exactly the same as this thing. Then, the Emerald Dragon said, "It's indeed very similar, but I don't understand the description on your picture."
"This is our language." The Scholar pointed at the caption below the picture and said, "If it is translated into your language, it is … 'The Plague Leader'."
The Emerald Dragon asked, "What is that?"
"It's a very infectious fungus. It infects the brains of the subspecies, and under the command of the brain, it creates a giant creature called the Plague Leader," the scholar said. "The thing we're looking at is the head of the Plague Leader."
"I think I've heard of this legend …" Another Emerald Dragon soldier said, "In fact, I heard it from the Skeleton Dragons. I occasionally go to their place as guests and hear them talk about the legends of 'pompoms'. There's a legend that mentions pompoms fighting with these strange creatures …"
"You can visit them? Aren't they very xenophobic? "" As long as you communicate with them, you can easily blend in with them. "" Then, why would this strange creature's head pop out from here? "
While the Emerald Dragons were confused, the Scholar said, "Perhaps some of the heads were abandoned in the sea and … they have been preserved and become the home of some kind of creature. There seems to be something moving inside the head."
The Emerald Dragons looked at the Plague Leader's head. Indeed, they could see something moving inside the three holes on the surface of the 'head', but due to the dim light, they couldn't see clearly.
"There should be some sea creatures like 'hermit crabs' living inside." The Scholar shone the light from the camera in the direction of the head and said, "They should be able to feed Maya's larvae … Wait, this is …"
Under the illumination of the Scholar's light, some creatures crawled out from the holes on the surface of the head.
Their bodies were covered in shining shells. These small creatures looked like beetles, but they only had four limbs. Obviously, these creatures were …
"Qibucha?" The Scholar was confused. "Why are they here?"
"Ji … Ji …" The Qibucha Bug crawled out of its head and made some strange noises.
"They are saying that you have cut off your connection with them," Maya said to the Scholar. "So, they are here to cut you off."
"What?" The Scholar was startled. It remembered something from the past. The group of Qibucha Bugs had suddenly crawled towards them.
At this moment, Maya suddenly let out a loud voice, "Stupid things, they can be eaten, get rid of them!"
"Caw!" The Emerald Dragons didn't stop. They picked up their crossbows and shot at the Qibucha on the ground.
Whoosh! An arrow pierced through one of the Qibucha's bodies. The arrow continued to penetrate deep into the sand, and the Qibucha stopped moving.
However, the other Qibucha dodged the attack. They had already crawled in front of the Scholar. One Qibucha had already climbed onto the Scholar's body.
"Ah!" Although the Scholar was wearing armor and wasn't hurt, the Qibucha crawled around quickly, as if looking for a gap in the armor.
"Caw!" One of the Emerald Dragons immediately drew his sword and slashed at the Scholar's head. The moment the sword flashed, the Qibucha that had been cut in half fell in front of the Scholar. The Scholar's armor didn't even leave a mark.
"Phew …" The Scholar looked at the Emerald Dragon and said, "Your sword skills are not bad …"
"I have been practicing all this time," the Emerald Dragon said.
"Caw! Stop talking, you two. Hurry up and join the battle! "
The other Emerald Dragons also took out melee weapons and cut down the Qibucha crawling on the ground.
The Qibucha didn't seem to have much attack power. They were just looking for an opportunity to get close to the Scholar. However, under the Emerald Dragons' attacks, they couldn't do anything.
Crack! Another Qibucha was pierced by the Emerald Dragon's sword. A large amount of viscous liquid sprayed out of its crystalline shell. Another Qibucha was hit by the Emerald Dragon's hammer.
The sound of various Qibucha being cut or smashed rang out. Soon, there were no more Qibucha under the Emerald Dragons' feet. They looked around and said, "Seems like they've all been dealt with."
"Move quickly. Slow down." Maya rolled out from behind the Emerald Dragons and the Scholar. "Eat, grow, and then leave."
The little bug under Maya's body crawled out again. It was a larva among Maya's population. It crawled to the corpse of a Qibucha and began to eat quickly.
"I wonder what kind of larva this is …" The Scholar walked to Maya's side and looked at the larva. At the same time, she was also concerned about the Qibucha.
It seemed like they had come here to find the Scholar, but now … there was another one!
Suddenly, the Scholar saw a shining figure behind a rock not far behind Maya. The Qibucha stood up and pointed with its forelimb.
"Be careful!"
The Scholar cried out. At the same time, the Kibucha Bug made a popping sound as a sharp needle shot out from its forelimb, flying towards the Scholar's foot.
"Something's wrong."
Maya felt something at the same time. She immediately rolled on the ground. The Qibucha suddenly noticed Maya. When the needle hit the Scholar's foot armor, it also fired a needle at Maya.
Whoosh! Maya did not manage to dodge the attack, and the spike pierced into its back.
"Gah!" At this time, one of the Emerald Dragons shot an arrow at the Qibucha. The arrow pierced through the Qibucha's body and nailed it to the rock wall behind it.
However, Maya also stopped moving on the ground …
"It hurts …" Maya was moaning. The Scholar immediately knelt down and asked Maya, "What's wrong? Were you hit? I have some healing items here … "
The Scholar went through a lot of trouble to come here and save Maya. She didn't want Maya to die like this. She immediately took out a bunch of things from her armor.
These were healing items that came with the armor, but the Scholar didn't know which one was more useful.
"Don't scream, slow creature." Maya wriggled the muscles on her back and squeezed the needle out. "I just need to rest. Before I wake up … feed …"
