Just as Broken Face Jia Lou was silently staring in the direction where the eyeball had disappeared, an exceptionally muscular man in black armour rode a demonic colt to his side.
The two ferocious demonic colts came together, but not only did they not show any signs of intimacy, they even neighed at each other and bent down to make threatening gestures.
After all, all the demonic colts were created using spells. Just from their appearances, one could see the shadows of Great Earth Lions, Shadow Leopards, Unicorns, and many other magical beasts. Due to their complicated origins and chaotic life force, they were almost all males and could not reproduce on their own.
They only had a short lifespan of ten years, and were considered a cheap type of mass-produced wizard beasts!
However, being cheap did not mean being weak here.
Due to their short lifespans, all the violent factors and battle potential in their bodies had been stimulated to the limit by spells. As a result, they were even wilder and more tyrannical.
Broken Face Jia Lou carried the strange demonic sword on his back. He stretched out his large hand and lightly tapped the demonic colt's head, hissing, "Lower your voice! If you alert the enemy's scouts, I'll roast the two of you and eat you … "
Although his words were light, there was a terrifying majesty in them that could not be ignored. The two demonic colts immediately lowered their bodies, no longer looking as violent and savage as before.
"Boss, do you think our sneak attack will succeed?" The brawny man in black armor was also a Physique Refinement Sorcerer. His muscles were so strong that they almost burst through his black armor. There was also a long scar on his cheek, but it was not removed. Instead, it gave him an increasingly fierce and cruel aura.
However, in front of Broken Face Jia Lou, he was as docile and docile as a rabbit, his face full of smiles and fawning.
"That's not something you should be concerned about!" Broken Face Jia Lou's cold words made the other party swallow his words, but he immediately reminded him in a low voice, "The Swamp of Sorrows we're raiding this time is their forbidden area. I heard that the giant shiitake mushrooms are grown there …"
Hearing this, the muscular man in black armour was overjoyed. He stuck out his long, scarlet tongue and licked his dry lips, his face full of excitement.
Giant shiitake mushrooms … They were the most popular top-grade resource in the central continent during this period of time.
It was said that this special mushroom, which originated from another plane, could effectively enhance a Magus' physique. On average, high-grade wizards could gain around 1 point, while mid-grade wizards could gain 2 points.
As for low-ranking wizards, hehe, so far, no low-ranking wizard has ever been lucky enough to obtain such top-notch resources.
The black-armored brawny man, who was originally only at the elementary level of Grade 3, thought that he would never be able to see such a good item in his lifetime. But who knew that the family's ambush mission this time was to plunder and destroy the Crimson Family's secret forbidden area — the Swamp of Sorrows.
In that case, if he was lucky, even he, the deputy chief of the Dripping Blood Spear, might be able to obtain some decent spoils of war.
At this thought, the black-armored man licked his lips even more frequently.
"Be careful, our operation this time might not go smoothly! If you meet those famous fellows from the Crimson Family … "At this point, Broken Face Jia Luo could not help but narrow his eyes," Good luck! "
"Don't worry, I have you here!" The black-armored brawny man still did not seem to care, "Leader, you are a peak Grade 3 existence! Although the Crimson Family has many Grade 3 existences, I have never heard of anyone who can compare to you! "
Broken Face Jia Luo shook his head sadly, "Rumors can't be trusted! If the rumor is true, how could I have been defeated by that Grim … "
When he mentioned Grim's name, Jia Luo almost squeezed it out through his teeth. Although a hundred years had passed, he was still brooding over it.
That opportunity was probably the closest he had ever been to reaching Grade 4!
Without the Source Substance, he could only rely on his innate bloodline to slowly accumulate the energy to advance. The difficulty and risks involved were not something that outsiders could understand.
"Leader, don't worry! There aren't many monsters like that legendary Fire Magus. Perhaps … "
Just as the black-armored brawny man was speaking confidently, there was a sudden commotion among the demonic colts scattered throughout the forest.
The commotion became more and more intense, and there were signs that a riot was about to happen.
"What are you doing? You bastards, don't you know that we are on an undercover mission? What are you doing? "The black-armored brawny man hurriedly shouted in a low voice.
"Insect … Insect …"
"Leader, there are insects!"
Hearing the frightened cries of the demonic colt knights, Broken Face Jia Luo's heart sank.
The Dripping Blood Spear team was a team of Magi that he had personally formed. All the members had the strength of an official Magus. The captains of the team had the basic strength of a Grade 2 Magus.
As for the captain, he was at the peak of Grade 3, while the vice-captain was at the beginning of Grade 3.
With such a powerful troop of demonic colts, they would not panic even if they were thrown into a horde of monsters. Even if they were in a perilous situation, they would not feel the slightest panic or fear. They would use their spears and swords to carve out a path of blood, only stopping when the heads of their enemies were hung by their saddles.
Would such a powerful troop of demonic colts be afraid of mere insects? Either the person who said this had lost his mind, or … that was not an ordinary insect!
Broken Face Jia Luo was indeed worthy of being the leader of the Dripping Blood Spear team. An image of a terrifying Magus appeared in his mind.
Hopefully, it was not this bastard …
As he silently prayed, Broken Face Jia Luo patted his demonic colt and took the lead, charging towards the area where the commotion was the most intense.
The demonic colt relied on the sharp claws on its thick limbs to not only fly on flat ground, but it could also climb steep cliffs and withered ancient trees.
After a few leaps, they arrived at the scene. Broken Face Jia Luo and the black-armored brawny man's hearts sank.
Near the roots of a tall ancient tree, the black soil bulged into piles of half-meter-tall mounds. Then, the soil cracked, and countless terrifying black beetles swarmed out.
These black beetles were the size of mastiffs, and their shells shone with a terrifying light under the dim forest light. They had hard shells, and on both sides of their bodies were four pairs of sharp limbs that shone with a metallic luster. In front of their ferocious heads was a pair of huge insect pincers.
Although these black beetles looked inconspicuous, they were extremely difficult to deal with.
The toughness of their carapace was enough to withstand ordinary enchanted weapons, and the sharpness of their limbs and pincers were enough to pierce through a three-finger-thick leather soft armor. Even the magic armor of the demonic colt knights was emitting a dazzling glow as the black beetles gnawed at it. The surface of the metal was also marked with clear and terrifying scratches.
As the swarm of insects appeared too suddenly, they drilled out from the ground where the demonic colt knights were resting. In an instant, three members were trapped in a sea of insects.
The demonic colt knights at the side could no longer care about the order to remain still. Rune spears pierced out continuously, and each strike was accompanied by a dazzling roar of magic.
Those who could become members of the Dripping Blood Spear were all qualified Magi. They were protected by magic armor, and the rune spears in their hands could choose different types of elemental attacks according to the characteristics of the enemy's elemental attacks.
Facing the black swarm of insects that surged like a tidal wave, they naturally chose fire elemental attacks, which had the largest attack range and the strongest attack power.
Unfortunately, these flame spears that could easily destroy all life within a ten-meter radius fell into the swarm of insects, but they could only rely on the sharpness of the spears and the power of the flames to kill a few insects in the center of the attack.
As for the other black beetles in the attack range, they were only injured but not killed. They continued to attack the three unlucky fellows who were trapped in the sea of insects.
Amidst the swarm of insects, the tall black figure kept roaring and exploding with shocking elemental roars, but still could not escape from the siege of the swarm of insects. Trapped in the sea of insects, the demonic colt relied on its thick scales to struggle against the waves of gnawing sounds that made one's teeth ache and legs go weak.
Unfortunately, there were too many insects surrounding them, and they had already piled up into a huge mountain of insects. The insects squirmed, and every time the demonic colt knights resisted, a layer of black beetles would fall off the pile.
However, no matter how hard they fought, the swarm of insects was still so thick, not giving them the slightest chance to escape. The next wave of beetles that surged out closed in on the majority of the demonic colt knights, looking like they would be wiped out in one fell swoop.
Insect Witch Bliss … It was definitely the Insect Witch Bliss!
In the entire Crimson family, the only one who could raise insects to this level was the mid-grade 3 Insect Witch Bliss …
"Razer, go save the three of them!"
Broken Face Jia Luo pulled out the magic sword on his back, his cold, murky eyes scanning the surroundings of the battlefield.
The muscular man in black armor was called Razer.
The other party agreed and urged his devil colt to charge towards the swarm of worms that were still bulging and wriggling.
However, just as the Void Raiders were halfway to Razer, Face-shattering Jia Luo let out a fierce roar and swung the demonic sword in his hand. Two invisible threads of energy, invisible to the naked eye, streaked across the sky and instantly beheaded two Void Raiders who had just sneaked up on Razer.
The threads of energy streaked across the sky, nothing in their path able to stop them.
They sliced through the trees and vines …
As they passed through the seemingly empty void, the shrill cries of giant insects rang out. Immediately afterward, blood splattered everywhere, and two strange insect carcasses over two meters long crashed through the bushes and fell into the grass.
The death of the two Grade 2 Void Marauders seemed to start a strange killing spree. The surrounding forest immediately filled with the cries of giant insects.
