The surrounding goblins and kobold slaves scattered in all directions. Not far away, a barbarian warrior raised his two-handed axe and leaped three meters into the air before swinging it down heavily on the ankheg.
"Slash!"
Blood and flesh splattered everywhere as the ankheg let out a blood-curdling scream. It shook its head in an attempt to knock the barbarian away, but the barbarian retreated and swung his axe horizontally.
A large gash appeared on the ankheg's wrinkled skin, and yellowish blood gushed out. The ankheg twisted its body in an attempt to escape, but it felt a sharp pain when it was halfway through the wound. Its body was being pulled by a huge force.
The barbarian grabbed the rope and pulled hard. The barbed arrow that was deeply embedded in the ankheg's body was hooked onto its flesh, and it could not escape no matter how hard it struggled. The ankheg struggled madly, its dozens of legs flailing wildly and stirring up the soil around it.
Suhlen took out a spear from his storage space and leaped high into the air before thrusting it down. The three-meter-long spear penetrated the ankheg's body through a gap in its carapace and into the ground. The huge ankheg was nailed to the ground by the spear.
After receiving a fatal blow, the huge body of the ankheg twitched a few times before collapsing weakly on the ground. Suhlen stood on the huge body of the ankheg and pulled out the spear. He shook it casually, and the blood on the spear dripped down.
"Move the body of this ankheg back."
"Understood, boss!"
Ankhegs were social animals and had a strong desire for revenge, just like wolves. They would definitely come back for revenge since they did not kill all of them last time.
Just as Suhlen ordered his men to pull out the body of the ankheg, a soft sound came from the ground beneath their feet.
"Crack!"
The strange sound came from the ground, and the soil suddenly sank. An ankheg opened its ferocious mouth and attacked Suhlen. Just as the Ankhegs burst out of the ground, Su Lun's figure flashed and dodged them.
"Acid Spit!"
Fortunately, there was no one around Suhlen. The green, sticky acid completely missed its target. With a sizzling sound, the ground and the surrounding weeds were corroded by the acid and turned black.
"Another one." Suhlen charged at the ankheg with its spear, its ferocious mouthparts biting at Suhlen. However, the ankheg had met its match this time. The three-meter-long spear smashed the ankheg's ferocious mouth into the ground.
With a light tap of his feet, Suhlen arrived on top of the ankheg's head. The previous heavy blow had left the ankheg dizzy and unable to resist. Suhlen's spear pierced the ankheg's brain through a gap in its carapace. The carapace on the ankheg's head was the best, and he did not want to damage it.
While one of the ankhegs attacked Suhlen, another one lurking underground attacked a barbarian warrior. It spat acid at the warrior's head, followed by a biting attack. In order to deal with the ankhegs, Suhlen had prepared a special shield.
When he saw the acid coming at him, he immediately used the shield to block the splashing acid. He then rolled to the side and dodged the ankheg's attack. The kobold slave beside him was not so lucky. A large amount of acid sprayed at it, and the sizzling sound of its flesh being corroded was excruciating. In just a few breaths, half of its flesh was corroded, revealing its white bones. Soon, it was dead.
There was a huge wound on the ankheg's mouth. It was the one that had escaped last time. The last ankheg had also appeared.
"It's the one that escaped last time. But this time, you won't have the chance to escape!"
The barbarian warrior obviously recognized the ankheg. With a roar, the veins on his body bulged, his muscles bulged, and his skin turned red. The large ankheg was not agile. The barbarian warrior circled around it and attacked it continuously. Soon, the weakest parts of the ankheg's body were covered in wounds.
Yellow blood flowed out, making the ankheg look extremely miserable. At this time, Suhlen had already killed the other ankheg. The heavily injured ankheg suddenly screeched and waved its limbs wildly as it burrowed into the ground.
Suhlen looked at the ankheg that had burrowed into the ground and smiled. He pressed his palm on the ground, and a surge of energy flowed from his body into the ground. He then continued to dig deeper into the ground and soon found the ankheg that was escaping. After finding the target, Suhlen directed the flow of water.
"Gushing Spring!"
Under the guidance of Suhlen's energy, the strong flow of water instantly exploded. The water broke through the soil and rocks, and the ankheg that was escaping underground suddenly felt the soil beneath it being pushed up. The huge flow of water directly pushed the ankheg's body out of the ground.
The ankheg was pushed ten meters out of the ground by the flow of water, and then it crashed to the ground. The ankheg's already heavily injured body became even more serious. Its internal organs were severely damaged from the fall, and yellow blood continuously flowed out of its body. More than a dozen of its limbs swayed weakly, and its speed became slower and slower. After a while, it stopped moving.
With the death of the last ankheg, all the ankhegs in the area were wiped out.
Suhlen arranged for some people to collect the slaves, and the three ankhegs' corpses were transported back to the town with the others. The hardest part of an ankheg's carapace was its head. The carapace on its back was slightly weaker, but it was more suitable to be made into shields. The carapace of an ankheg could be made into about ten shields. After killing all the ankhegs, the materials obtained could be used to make fifty shields and five full-body armors.
The huge ankhegs had a lot of meat. Although they tasted bad, the goblins and kobolds did not mind. It was good enough that they had something to eat. The ankhegs were cut off and made into jerky for them. An ankheg weighed about five tons. After removing the carapace and innards, there were still three tons left. Five ankhegs weighed fifteen tons in total, which was enough for the slaves to eat for two to three months.
Although ankhegs were magical beasts, they did not have much use for wizards. The only thing that was valuable was the acid sacs in their bodies. The acid sacs stored a lot of acid, and for wizards who had not learned the Material Exemption ability, the acid sacs were very good materials for casting Acid Splash and Acid Arrow.
The best material for Acid Arrow was the venom sacs of wyverns, but it was important to note that ankhegs were only mid-ranked magical beasts, and that was because they lived in groups. If it were wyverns, unless they were attacked by a Grand Wizard or above, they would just be courting death.
Wyverns' poison could easily corrode metal armor. If one's Constitution was not strong enough, they would be killed instantly.
