The First Evolution C.576: A Marvelous Spear

The most obvious feature of the giant blood worm was its mouthpart.

It was made up of a ring of ring-shaped muscles. The mouth was densely covered with curved and interlaced fangs that were more than 8cm in length. The unique physiological structure allowed its mouth to open at an astonishing degree.

The 2 extremely small eyeballs were sunken deep under the skin. If it weren’t for the thick gray translucent film outside, it would be difficult to notice at a glance.

Not only were they huge in size and ferocious in appearance, but what was even more frightening was that is saliva contained neurotoxins. Once the prey was contaminated by its acid, it would be instantly paralyzed and lose its ability to resist.

Giant blood worms were large worm-like creatures that had no backbone. They were good at digging underground and looking for food in the soil.

They mostly feed on meat, huge meat, almost several times the size of a python. Even if the large yak could be killed, dismantled into pieces, and devoured.

When they couldn’t catch any large prey, they would also go to swamps to eat a certain type of insect called “bordeaux worm”.

This insect looked like a tadpole and was found everywhere in swamps. It was in huge numbers and was at the end of the food chain. You could think of it as a combination of the number of ants/the survivability of cockroaches/the size of the tadpole.

However, long-term eating of “bordeaux worms” could also lead to giant blood worm malnutrition and even reproductive problems. Therefore, as long as prey appeared, giant blood worms would most likely rush to hunt!

At this time, Fang Linyan noticed that it was not only the convoy in front that was attacked, there was even chaos inside New Watchfort! Gunshots and screams occurred one after another.

Obviously, the giant blood worms, which could travel underground, also bypassed the outer wall of the fortress and emerged directly inside the New Watchfort!

Vulture said in a deep voice,

“Be careful, this is the area for the Colony Hunter mission, so the difficulty is high. I can’t get much details of the blood worms from [Reconnaissance]. I only know that they are elite creatures!”

This sudden attack shocked Hank and others. The monsters outside were difficult enough to deal with, but they had even penetrated into the fortress that they thought was impregnable!

As the saying goes distant water cannot quench present thirst. They couldn’t think much given the current situation. They could only focus on overcoming the imminent crisis first.

When the convoy was attacked, they panicked only for a few seconds. They were elites too, so they fought back.

The last six-wheeled “Bradley” armored personnel carrier also reversed slowly. The gatling turret on top of it also locked on a giant blood worm and sprayed bullets wildly.

Not only that, the other soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor also opened fire according to the infantry-tank coordination protocol.

However, against the tenacious giant blood worms, their desperate counterattack only killed 1 worm.

Several other giant blood worms spat out acid to attack. This acid was extremely lethal to both soldiers and armored vehicles.

A seriously injured giant blood worm went crazy and wrapped around the armored personnel carrier that fell to the bottom of the pit.

Its fang-full mouth bit and sprayed acid frantically. A large amount of white foam emerged from the metal on the surface of the personnel carrier, making an irritating sound. It was only a matter of time before it was corroded by the acid.

The six-wheeled “Bradley” armored personnel carrier was destroyed by the acid, and the screams of soldiers could be heard continuously.

The soldiers in the carrier were in a desperate situation!

But at this moment, a figure jumped out and performed a reverse arch dunk in mid-air. Its body was stretched to the extreme.

But what he was holding was not a basketball but a crimson spear!

The spear was even imbued with a blazing flame.

The next second, he threw the spear!!!

After the spear was launched, it actually left a spiral air trail behind and instantly penetrated the seriously injured giant blood worm’s head.

Around the penetration wound, there were blazing flames.

Although the giant blood worm struggled wildly, which made it bleed even more severely, the blazing flames still engulfed and charred it.

Not only that, after penetrating on the first impact, this spear drew a strange arc and pinned another smaller giant blood worm to the ground.

The giant blood worm spurted a lot of green foam after being pinned, and it broke in half like an earthworm.

The second half was still pinned by the spear, but the first half was making a hoarse painful cry while escaping underground.

The power of this spear was truly marvelous even when seen from a distance.

The dead giant blood worm was the largest one, like the leader of its group. Its burning corpse was intimidating. More, the escaped giant blood worm caused the other giant blood worms to halt their attacks.

The people in the convoy seized this opportunity to evacuate quickly.

Goat, who witnessed the marvelous spear, murmured,

“Is this the strength of colony hunter? It’s really terrifying!”

Vulture added,

“After that person launched this spear, he seemed to have lost his fighting ability. I could see clearly that he lost his center of gravity and fell. If someone hadn’t caught him, he would have hit his head on the ground.”

Fang Linyan suddenly said,

“We should all know the guy who caught him.”

Vulture and Goat wondered,

“Who is it?”

Fang Linyan said,

“Remember the thin-faced man who took the shuttle with us? We were the only 4 people in the cabin who didn’t puke.”

Goat said,

“Oh, it’s him. This guy must be under a lot of pressure following a colony hunter… Wait, is he also a colony hunter?”

“There’s one guy on the shutter who didn’t puke, and that’s Mir from Team Porcupine.”

Fang Linyan said,

“Mir is an aborigine, so he doesn’t count… By the way, one of the people I saw escaping just now looks a lot like Mir.”

“If they are together, do you think it’s possible that Mir is an important plot character and these 2 guys are here to protect him?”

Vulture asked,

“Where is Mir? I saw it! It’s really him!”

The chaotic sounds of gunshots and screams gave them a hell-like experience. At the same time, the noise here also attracted more than a dozen thorn beasts!

Seeing that ally soldiers were encountering more enemies and the giant blood worms were suppressed, Hank decisively ordered the attack.

Hank was selected to escort because his squad was elite. There were 15 members in total, and everyone wore exoskeleton armor. In addition to the K3-modified electromagnetic rifle, everyone could also fire 2 powerful shock grenades.

Their assist greatly reduced the pressure on the team.

However, as it was a night battle and Hank’s attack also attracted a giant blood worm, so the formation of the squad was disrupted as they fought while retreating. Fang Linyan and his companions in the middle were exposed.

A thorn beast charged toward them, and Vulture cast [Reconnaissance] on it. To his surprise, the data displayed was ???. It should be because the world difficulty was high.

They looked at each other and shared the same thoughts. They planned to see how strong this monster was in actual combat.

After all, this should be the main battlefield of colony hunter, so the world difficulty would definitely increase accordingly. This thorn beast should be the best training target.

Fang Linyan, who had activated [Athena’s Blessing], naturally stood in front; Vulture had already thrown a flying knife; Goat started chanting [Fireball]!

Because there was a group of people like colony hunter in the distance that might notice them, so they were playing safe.

Fang Linyan cast [Dragon Cough Flash] repeatedly to summon Okami Tree Puppets. These puppets were indispensable in such a protracted battle.

Goat slowly cast the [Fireball].

Vulture naturally threw flying knives. His flying knife’s normal attack was throwing the knife-shaped energy. Otherwise, just throwing the flying knives would make him bankrupt.

Soon, the thorn beast was killed. Unfortunately, nothing was dropped. Vulture began to make calculations,

“The defense is about 10 points, and the HP is not too much, less than 1000 points.”

Goat wondered,

“Then it isn’t that hard to deal with.”

Fang Linyan shook his head and said,

“I let it hit me deliberately just now. Guess how much damage I took.”

Goat said,

“How much.”

Fang Linyan said,

“You don’t want to hear that number… 37.”

Goat was astounded! After Fang Linyan activated [Athena’s Blessing], his damage reduction could even exceed 60%. In other words, the theoretical attack power of this ordinary thorn beast was even close to 90.

In other words, if Goat was surrounded by 2 thorn beasts, he would be doomed.

The battle ended quickly. Hank regrouped with the remaining soldiers in the convoy.

A blond man walked over to the 3 of them and smiled,
