Indeed, the statues created by the Corruptor community are most likely used to worship evil gods.
Hitzfeld suddenly thought of something she had seen in the first illusion, but she had not yet had time to tell anyone else.
She had said this in a dream before, saying that she saw an evil god with seven huge eyes, living in the void of the universe, and his name might be Abu Gesar...
But it's fake after all.
In real life, she never said that.
She was a little hesitant, not sure whether she should give the others a hint at this time, at least tell them that these crawlers - were indeed likely worshiping a terrible thing.
However, just as she was about to do so, she heard a rustling noise.
This was a very familiar sound. No matter whether she was pulled into the world inside the umbrella or was blocked by the noise when she broke out of the illusion later, this kind of movement... was like the sound of arthropods crawling on the surface of sand and rocks. There was no way she could make a wrong judgment.
Is this also an illusion?
Or……
Looking up suddenly, Hitzfeld met eight bright compound eyes.
This thing had eight earth-black limbs, and a slender trunk and belly. It trembled slightly the moment she raised her head, and then swooped down towards her.
Hitzfeld had no time to fight back. All she could do was raise her arms to cover her head. The next moment, she felt a huge force hitting her body, and her arms and torso were tightly gripped by something.
"Aisun!"
"Mudrock Spider!"
After hearing the sound of the girl falling to the ground, the others saw the situation and let out a low growl.
Hitzfeld was already being held.
The spider's eight legs were like eight shackles, gripping her tightly and tightening, while its two curved fangs flipped out and stabbed at her regardless.
A strong sense of crisis enveloped Hitzfeld. Her face turned pale. She pressed her knees against the spider's abdomen and used both hands to grasp the fangs with incredible precision, trying her best to prevent the fangs from falling on her body.
"Save her!"
"Can't shoot!"
"Then use a knife! Use a knife!"
Ignoring the argument between Bruce and Leah, Darent walked up and kicked Spider in the butt.
The spider felt pain and raised its head and let out a hoarse hiss.
The next moment, the sharp knife light drew a curved line, and the eight spider legs that were locking the girl were all cut off.
Darent kicked the thing's torso away with another kick, and then he and Xia Yibing moved closer to her, frowning slightly.
In just a short while, perhaps just a few seconds, Hitzfeld's legs were wrapped in spider silk.
But that’s not the worst.
White smoke was coming out of her left shoulder, as if some strong acid had fallen on it and had corroded it without her noticing.
With a "swish" sound, Xia Yibing tore off the cloth on the girl's shoulder and saw a little dark red mark on that small piece of skin.
She took off the water bag and rinsed it, but before she had finished treating the wound, she felt Hitzfeld pinching her hard.
"Up there." The girl's voice was very soft.
"There's more on top..."
There was a pause, and everyone looked up. They could vaguely see that under the red light, more and more mudstone spiders were pouring out of the cracks on the stone pillars... which were previously unnoticed.
The small ones are probably as big as a fist, while the large ones are as big as a carriage.
His face looked uglier than ever. Xia Yibing picked up the long Xia knife again, and together with Darent, they protected Hitzfeld in the middle.
The girl's injury was not serious as she was not directly pierced by the fangs but was only touched by the venom.
But with this number... she was not sure she could lead so many people away safely.
"boom!"
At this moment, in the distance, there was a noise coming from the open space under the city wall.
The crawlers were alarmed. Holding some crude weapons, they rode on their worms and rushed in another direction - needless to say, it was Frick who was discovered!
Damn it—
She couldn't help cursing in her heart.
According to the agreed plan, they should create some noise at this time to divert the pursuers, and then quickly run back.
But this situation... they were almost surrounded by a swarm of mudstone spiders. How could they proceed according to plan?
"Let's set off fireworks." Hitzfeld stood up, holding his shoulder.
"Are you crazy?" Bruce stared at her.
"We can't run away." The girl glared back, "We can't run away no matter what. We might as well sacrifice ourselves and cover the other side to escape smoothly."
Even as she spoke, some mudstone spiders attacked them.
Xia Yibing waved her long sword to stop them, and almost all the spiders that pounced on her were cut in half.
"Are you sure?" She asked the girl in the interval, "Do you know what this choice means!"
Almost death.
Sacrificing oneself and making noise would either result in being captured and eaten by these mudstone spiders, or completely alerting the creeper tribe over there, who would send people to capture them.
Does it make a difference?
She didn't think so anyway.
Creepers and humans are mortal enemies, and without evidence that they have good intentions towards humans, they will still die - without a doubt!
"Believe me..." Hitzfeld's voice sounded weaker and weaker.
But her eyes were firm.
She was so determined that Xia Yibing decided to give it a try with her.
It can't get any worse...
She thought so.
In fact, everyone knew very well that even if they found the ruins and the siege equipment in them, the chances of them returning alive would still be close to zero.
So why not give it a try?
After all... that was Hitzfeld...
"boom!"
A flashing red firework was launched by Darent, exploding into brilliant sparks in mid-air.
The creepers that were chasing in the distance immediately noticed the movement here, and they sent nearly two-thirds of their number to run over here. Under the threat of the worms' hissing, the giant spiders that surrounded them fled back, leaving only arthropod corpses all over the ground.
The Creepers had already discovered them, and the entire army made a circle, surrounding them in three layers inside and outside.
Xia Yibing let go of the white long sword.
Be prepared to be captured by a group of monsters.
Chapter 62 Imitation
Faced with the group of "monsters" surrounding them, Leah's legs went weak with fear, and Knight Bruce gritted his teeth and shook his head, muttering, "Crazy, crazy..."
When Flick was assigned to the team before, he actually felt that he was very lucky.
On the one hand, the team here has more people. On the other hand, excluding Leia, the members are also strong.
Xia Yibing's strength impressed many people as early as the first day. When the Flint Knight was not equipped with armor, her level should be similar to Frick's.
And Hitzfeld's lethality when holding the White Whale is also not to be underestimated. Coupled with Darent's superb skills (as evidenced by his horsemanship) and himself, the overall strength of this team is undoubtedly stronger than the other one.
But he didn't expect the final result to be like this.
These lunatics...are they planning to pin their hopes on those monsters? Hoping that those ugly things will let them go?
How can it be!
As a more experienced "local", Bruce dared to guarantee with his own head that their fate was either to have their heads chopped off or to be thrown into the worm hole alive and become food for the worms.
The facts were exactly as he expected.
The first few crawlers - they were riding on tall worms, holding the reins, and each of them had drawn a sharp scimitar from their waist.
This was obviously not a signal to let him go. Bruce estimated that his many years of fighting career had come to an end.
Xia Yibing looked around nervously, and together with Darent, they formed a smaller circle, and together with Bruce, they protected Hitzfeld and Leah in the middle.
Everywhere she looked were strange people wearing tattered cloaks. The air was filled with the faint stench of corpses and the strange noises made when they talked. She couldn't help but feel a little nervous and turned around to look at the girl again.
Aisun asked us to focus our attention... there must be a solution.
Although she did it without hesitation, she couldn't figure out what to do to escape from this desperate situation! ?
"qunur——"
As she watched, an unusually tall worm knight flipped over and jumped off the worm's back, speaking in a strange language while striding towards her with a sword in hand.
"yinla——risar——"
Just when Xia Yibing was hesitating whether to take out the Changxia Sword to fight him again, another syllable came from behind her - and it was a voice she was familiar with.
Aisun?
With eyes wide open, Xia Yibing looked back and saw the girl holding her hands on both temples, frowning, and uttering the syllables with difficulty: "yinlarisar...bupikp..."
Is this possible?
Turning her head back suddenly, Xia Yibing was surprised to find that the tall worm knight actually hesitated!
He was retreating, retreating again and again, while Hitzfeld pushed aside their protection and walked forward, repeating those weird syllables: "yinlarisar...bupikp..."
“yinlarisar…bupikp…!!!”
This syllable is a bit strange.
It didn't seem obvious at first, but when Xia Yibing tried to carefully distinguish its pronunciation, her head felt like it was hit by a hammer. She suddenly became dizzy, and even the most basic thinking function became extremely slow.
With great effort, the woman opened her eyes and scanned the encirclement to see those crawlers... They were actually kneeling in the middle.
Kneel down and worship the gray-haired girl.
Bruce was confused.
He opened his mouth and looked around, pointing at the kneeling weirdos, then at Hitzfeld, stammering: "It's not... this... I... she..."
His consciousness was also not very clear because of listening to the syllables, but it was probably because the girl's actions were too scary.
She actually knows the language of worms?
And it seems that you can command them in these languages?
"No... that's not an order!" Leah suddenly whispered, "The relationship between them doesn't seem like communication... She might be reciting forbidden knowledge! This kind of relationship can't last long!"
You guessed it right.
Hitzfeld looked back at his companions and ignored them. He continued to chant at a louder volume, despite the terrible pain coming from his brain.
This time, even the tall knight who was still "hesitating" couldn't stand it anymore.
He dropped the knife in his hand with a clang, fell to his knees, then raised his head and opened his arms to the girl. A hoarse roar came from the hood of his cloak:
“yinlarisarbupikp…!yinlarisarbupikp!!!”
"Uh……"
There were a few muffled sounds behind me.
I didn't need to look back to know that my companions had fainted.
His face was tense, and Hitzfeld no longer chanted any syllables.
She glanced in the direction they had come from.
Flick...
I hope you guys can fix the armor.
