tree demons have attributes

Chapter 89 Insect Nest
"something wrong!"

Above the monster's lair, two blood butterflies were flying around and patrolling, among which the larger one was muttering from time to time.

"There is a problem, there is a big problem here!"

Xiao Du talked to himself, and after he finished speaking, he looked at the monster's lair below him, showing some hesitation.

"Ok?"

Seeing this, another family member, Xiaodie, flew to Xiaodu, and circled around it in doubt, as if asking what happened, and reminding Xiaodu not to forget the task assigned by the tree owner.

Xiaodu pondered, and said: "There is a problem, Xiaodie, Lord Tree Master definitely doesn't want to let me go."

It began to analyze, those monsters didn't seem to be powerful, they were easily killed by it the last time they met, and at that time, the tree owner also emphasized that he must catch that monster in the future,

Why is it so late to let you move when you encounter a monster's lair now?

Obviously, the monster is hiding deep in the ground below, but the tree owner orders it to wait in a lonely way. Isn't it afraid that the monster will run away?

If the monster slipped away, in the end, the responsibility would fall on its head. Wouldn't it be another severe beating when it returned to the burial ground?
Xiaodu felt more and more possible, and trembled all over thinking about it, he didn't dare to use his consciousness to communicate with his companion Xiaodie, worried that his conjecture would be known by the tree owner.

So it communicated with its companions in magic language: "Xiaodie, let's do it, if we don't act, that monster will run away! If that monster runs away, I will be miserable."

It's a pity that these words were not able to encourage success,

Xiaodie seemed to see through this companion's little thoughts, and helplessly flapped her wings a few times, exhaled a gust of wind, and wiped it on Xiaodu's body, as if throwing a punch to wake up the nervous companion.

After finishing all this, Xiaodie is ready to continue patrolling.

Xiaodu was still hovering in mid-air, suffering from inexplicable paranoia of being victimized, "Even Xiaodie is unwilling to make a move. It seems that there is really a big problem. Obviously Xiaodie is so playful, but now she is honestly patrolling there."

"Furthermore, Duan Er and Xiao Er haven't arrived for so long, which is even more problematic, especially Xiao Er, who absolutely wants to see me being beaten by Lord Tree Master, so he can't wait any longer."

at this time,

Xiaodie, who hadn't flown too far, suddenly said: "Here we come!"

"where?"

Xiao Du was delighted, but he didn't see the other companions when he looked around, and then he looked carefully, it turned out that the monster from the lair below had come out, and not just one, but countless.

Dense monsters ran out of each hole like a tide.

"My lord, they have come out of the cave."

Xiao Du immediately discarded those messy thoughts and rushed to report.

In the burial ground, Li Mu, who was still using his consciousness to help his family lead the way, heard the news and quickly sent his thoughts over.
When he saw that creature for the first time before, it was buried in the gravel inside the sandworm's body. In addition, the speed of escape was very fast, and there was a sandstorm blowing around.

However, when he moved his gaze over it full of interest, wanting to see what the creature that claimed to look like a blood butterfly looked like, he was stunned.

The entire depression is covered with insects, which look like rice worms and are three to five meters long. The skin has a texture between worms and beetles, and it feels hard.
The worm-like body has circles of fleshy folds, and the overall color is yellow-gray close to the desert soil. There are two long tentacles on the head, which are basically half the length of the body.

It seems that it is a kind of magic insect living in the desert. Except for the tire-shaped folds and the camouflage color it evolved to adapt to the desert, there is nothing special about it.

These demonic insects seemed to be unable to withstand the intimidating patrol of the blood butterfly, or they felt that they could deal with the blood butterfly in large numbers, so they came out of the ground in groups.

But the crux of the matter is,
The way the devil insects move is to rely on those centipede-like limbs to crawl on the ground. They cannot fly.
They all could only look at the blood butterfly in the sky stupidly, piled up under the blood butterfly's body, piled on top of each other, as high as a hill, but they couldn't touch the blood butterfly's body no matter what.

"Little poison?"

Li Mu was completely speechless. How does this monster look alike to the butterfly he created? Could it be that the blood butterfly Xiaodu's psychological problems have become so serious that he has a self-awareness disorder?
"What's going on here, are you sure this thing looks a lot like you?"

Using this thing to address the group of demonic insects on the ground is enough to show Li Mu's disdain,
These guys are only at the eighth or ninth level of monsters, and their strength is not very good, it's just that there are a lot of them.

And judging from their behavior of trying to deal with the blood butterflies in the sky despite having no wings, it can be seen that the spirit of the monster is not high. After all, not every kind of monster can have an IQ similar to that of the jade spider and other dependents.

No matter in terms of appearance or strength, these underground monsters are completely incompatible with blood butterflies.

Li Mu really couldn't see any similarities between the two, perhaps the only similarity was that the little drug criminal became stupid and looked as stupid as those underground monsters.

"Trees master, these guys really look like me."

Xiao Du explained.

"understood."

Li Mu said perfunctorily, "Hurry up and get a few back."

His interest drops,
The number of monsters is beyond imagination,
In any case, let's get a batch and go back first. If the extracted attributes are really useful, then we can capture them on a large scale.
said,

The two Blood Butterfly family members began to release their respective innate magical powers, and the corrosive powder fell, killing some underground monsters.

Therefore, when Xiaodu and other blood butterflies release their talents, they have always been timid, trying to avoid attacking the deadly parts of the monster insects, so that the monster insects can hold their breath.

There were more and more demonic insects on the ground, and emerald green blood flowed from the wounds of the half-dead demonic insects.
Blood smells bad, and when it touches the ground, it can corrode sand and gravel.

The smell from the wound was like a strong catalyst, making the group of demonic insects more violent. The tentacles on their heads were curly, and green poisonous gas was stimulated.

Poisonous gas may be very deadly to ordinary monsters, but the blood butterfly itself is an extremely poisonous creature, so after the poisonous gas is sprayed out, it does not cause substantial damage to Xiaodu and other dependents.

Relying on its superiority in the air, the blood butterfly slaughtered the gushing monsters at will, hovered in mid-air calmly, and attacked the monsters piled up on the ground that were still gushing out.

It doesn't take much effort to kill these creatures,

But Li Mu always felt that something was wrong,

With the secretion of poisonous gas,
The monster worms sprang out of the burrow crazily, with one end getting bigger and bigger.

Although these bugs are weak, but there are too many of them, it seems endless, such a huge number, it looks really bluffing,
It seems that we have to wait until Duan Er and the rest of the family members arrive, and then arrest them. How many heads can be caught.

Now dodge for a while, wait until the violent state of the underground monster disappears,
"Xiaodu Xiaodie leave here for the time being."

Li Mu ordered,
at this time,

An extremely crisp sound resounded frequently among the insect swarm, like the sound of a wooden board being smashed.

Li Mu looked intently,

I saw the berserk bugs on the ground, the folds on the body surface seemed to come alive, and cracks were opened, connecting from the head to the tail.

"laugh"

"laugh"

The sound came and went.

Along the body surface cracks,

The shell of the monster worm spread out like a peacock, and finally, the yellow-gray shell fit into a pair of fleshy wings.

flapping wings,

The bugs on the ground who only knew to crawl slowly turned into flying monsters in the blink of an eye,

Rising up one after another,

ten heads,

hundred heads,

thousands of heads,
Soon there were flying insects flying in the sky.

Through the line of sight of his family members, Li Mu looked directly at the group of creatures transformed by the berserk.

They found that the other side hidden by their yellow-gray shells turned out to be so colorful. There were also two pairs of red vortex eyes of different sizes, covered with colorful fluff and dangerous powder.

seemingly
It really looks like a blood butterfly.

Not only that, after those monsters entered the berserk posture, their strength also increased, and each of them was about one or two levels higher than before. Although in Li Mu's eyes, their strength was still average,
But with this terrifying population size, ants can also kill an elephant, not to mention that there are currently only two dependents, Xiaodu and Xiaodie.

Relying on the superiority in the air earlier, Li Mu dared to let the blood butterfly attack the devil's nest so unscrupulously.

Now he was dumbfounded, these creatures suddenly changed into wings, and they could fly at once.

Thousands of demonic insects rushed forward, covering the sky and the sun, who can resist it.

"run!"

Xiaodie, who has been silent all the time, seems to be the calmest. When the tree owner and his companions were amazed, it reacted first, shouted something directly, and then used the power of elements to slip away.

"wait for me!"

Xiao Du also woke up,
Don't look at Xiao Du's usual hustle and bustle, but when it comes to the critical moment of life and death, he can see things very clearly.
It had encountered this monster insect at the edge of the forest before, but at that time there was only one of the opponent. Now facing the terrifying swarm of flying insects, it knew that the combined forces of itself and Xiaodie would not be able to deal with it.

Running quickly is king.

The Blood Butterfly duo completely lost their previous composure, and fled crazily with their butterfly wings.

and behind,
The monster's eyes are scarlet, as if in a state of extreme madness,
They followed closely behind the blood butterfly, while those monster insects that hadn't turned into butterflies continued to crawl on the ground, also relentlessly chasing after them.

In the yellow sand all over the sky, it seems that two large shadows appear in the sky and the ground at the same time, chasing two small black spots with all their strength and madness.

"call out"

In the swarm of insects, there was a change in the wings of the magic insect.

A pair of dark green long spears shoot out from the left and right vortex eyes, which looks similar to the small poisonous blood gun.
It's just that the blood gun contains more corrosive powder,

And the magic insect's is more like a poison gun condensed by venom,
The poisonous gun shot out, but failed to hit. The venom splashed and corroded everything it touched. It seemed that the degree of corrosion was far less than that of the blood butterfly's blood gun.

But for this group of monsters, the huge race is their real trump card. If one poisonous gun is not powerful enough, then there will be millions of shots.

The flying monsters chased after them, condensing out poisonous guns one after another,

The poisonous guns fired a volley, and with the wind of the sandstorm, the rain of poisonous guns almost drowned Xiao Du and his family members.

"boom"

At this time, a huge rock hit,
The boulder blasted a gap in the rain of poisonous guns, Xiaodu and Xiaodie happened to slip through the gap, successfully avoiding Manman's poisonous guns.

"Haha, I'm here to save you."

The little spider in the distance came late and shouted brazenly, even though it was not the one who threw the stone just now, it was the one who yelled the loudest,
Standing next to Xiao Er is the ape demon Duan Er.

Duan Er has activated his talent transformation, and his four arms use local materials, grabbing the stones on the ground and throwing them forward.

The flying stones bombarded the insect swarm in the sky like cannonballs. There was no need to aim at all. Throwing it in any direction could kill a large number of flying insects, and clusters of green blood flowers lit up in midair.

The corpse of the monster worm rustled down.

The devil insects on the ground are handed over to Xiao Er to deal with.
After evolution, the jade spider puts on a pair of dark red armor, which has natural resistance to poison and corrosion.

Demonic insects crawled all over Xiao Er's body, but there was nothing he could do about the armor.
They bit down with their fangs and sharp teeth, but instead their mouths collapsed, and the corrosive venom was sprayed on the armor, which didn't even have any effect like ordinary water.

"Try to catch as much as possible."

Li Mu said.

With the support of the two remodeled family members, it is no problem to deal with the strange insects.

Xiao Er ran rampant among the insects, spitting out spider silk thread from his mouth, and instantly caught a large group of insects, on the spider silk thread, you can still see the venom attached,
The venom in the jade spider's body is much more toxic than that of flying insects, scalding the surface of flying insects with grid-like scars,

Moreover, the venom has its own paralysis effect, and the captured monsters fell into a coma after resisting for a while.

The situation reversed instantly,
Seeing the two companions who came to help Xiaodu, Xiaodu was completely surprised. It was not in the territory before, and it has not undergone transformation. Today is the first time to see its evolved companions.

"Troublesome thing! Tremble before me."

Spider Xiaoer spit out the web thread to catch the strange insect, and at the same time he did not forget to brag.

Soon, hundreds of cocoons wrapped in spider webs appeared on the ground, and three or four live strange insects were trapped in each of them.

The number of monsters began to decrease sharply,

What remains have been driven back into their lairs,
Duan Er and Xiao Du were doing the final inventory of the battlefield. They piled up the surviving monsters and wrapped them in spider webs, preparing to take them back to the territory.

"You can't, you were chased away by such a weak creature."

Xiao Er packs up the strange insects and teases Butterfly Xiaodu from time to time.

"Master Tree Master let me escape, do you think I can't beat them?"

Xiao Du counterattacked.

It's a pity that there is not much confidence in the words,

Facing the all-upgraded Jade Spider companion, Xiao Du not only fell slightly behind in strength, but the most unacceptable thing was that it also lost completely in terms of size, and it was no match for Spider Xiaoer at all.

Xiao Er's current body size is significantly larger than that of the blood butterfly. As an existence that has been at the bottom of the burial ground for a long time and is very likely to be reduced to the bottom of the burial ground again in the future,
Of course it will not let go of this opportunity to act aggressively in front of its companion Xiaodu.

"Chong"

"Chong"

Xiao Er picked up his two forelimbs and crossed them against each other a few times, bragging and saying: "See, I'm a magic general, you can't keep up with my pace, Xiao Du, and you will be eliminated by the tree owner soon. and exiled to the desert."

Little Poison: "."

The blood gun on the butterfly wing is faintly waiting to be fired.

If it weren't for the fact that it and Xiao Er are often beaten together, they have a good relationship after a long time, Xiao Du is really going to shoot a few blood guns at Xiao Er,
Compared with Xiaodu's depression,

In addition, Xiaodie, the blood-headed butterfly, is simply interested in the evolved jade spider. It floats close to the ground and circles around the little spider, as if it wants to observe this companion with such a huge change in appearance from all angles.

Xiao Er said: "Xiao Die, hang out with me from now on. Now I'm in a terrible situation. I want to do whatever I want. No one can order me except Lord Tree Master."

And at this moment,
Broken Ear in the distance was honestly cleaning the battlefield, but Li Mu had been projecting his consciousness on the ape demon, so he could clearly hear Spider Xiaoer's bragging.

"Recently, Xiao Er is a little carried away."

Li Mu thought to himself.

But he didn't bother to care about it now. For him, the more important thing now was to transport the captured monsters back. It was definitely impossible for the jade spider to transport them, it was too bulky.

Li Mu was going to call some ape demons over, and at the same time asked Xiao Du and the other two blood butterflies to help.

before this,

He let Duan Er enter the lair of the monster insects, and there were still some strange insects left in it, and Li Mu also wanted to go in and explore the caves of these strange insects, maybe there would be extra gains.

The ape devil's broken ear is suitable for close combat, and its strength is not bad. It should be relatively safe to enter the cramped cave, at least you don't have to worry about being beaten by devil insects.

then,

Li Mu asked Xiao Er and other family members to continue cleaning up the corpses of the monster insects, while he controlled Duan Er to the depression where the monster nests were located.
The entrance of the worm burrow is a bit narrow compared to the body of the ape demon.

Duan Er had no choice but to smash the entrance of the hole with his four arms, and after digging and expanding the hole, he moved forward little by little.

As the excavation deepened,
The body with the broken ear gradually sinks into the ground,

The tunnels of the strange insect lairs are almost the same as the tunnels in Li Mu's territory, except that the tunnels of the strange insects are not curved, they all extend downward obliquely, as if they want to go straight to the depths of the ground.

The corridors are not connected to each other, more like independent tunnels.

After a while,

The soil becomes hard,

Then the tunnel was dug to the end,
Duan Er came to a vast underground space,

Surrounded by naturally formed stalactite-like ores, there are no traces of excavation on it, and it is a huge naturally formed mine.

The mine is open in all directions, and the surface is covered with small openings, and the group of strange insects directly reach the ground through the openings.

"Ow"

As soon as the figure with broken ears appeared,

Suddenly, a large number of monster insects gushed out from the passages around the mine. The appearance was the same as before, but the aura was more fierce, and they rushed towards the intruder with their teeth and claws.

It's a pity that cutting off ears is not easy to bully,
As an existence that dared to single out Rodnell, worms at the mere monster level naturally couldn't scare it.

"Roar."

The broken ears butt fists, let out a roar, and beat those bugs hard,
The scene is too intense, showing a one-sided situation,
With a wave of Duan Er's arms, several monster insects were flattened, and with a step of his big feet, there were more balls of meat sauce on the ground.

The sound of "Baji" and "Baji" sounded in the closed mine.

Even if a steady stream of bugs come out,

It didn't take much effort for Duan Er to deal with it. He cleaned up the group of monsters in two or three strokes, and the remaining monsters retreated one after another as if they were afraid.

"You still know how to run?"

The actions of the monster insects made Li Mu even more curious. Judging from the previous performance, the spiritual intelligence of these monster insects did not seem to be very high, and they did not have an obvious perception of danger. will not back down.

But now, after being killed by Broken Ears, these monster insects have learned to be afraid and fled in groups.

Li Mu has always been inquisitive about the things he is interested in, so he immediately let Duan Er catch up with the fleeing bugs.

When the bugs run away, the friction between the abdomen of the feet and the ground will produce a slight sound.
The sound is not obvious,
But when a large number of demonic insects gather together, any slight noise will become eye-catching and abnormal.

"sough"

Following the echoing voice in the mine,
Duan Er shuttled through the tunnel, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be light pouring out of the front.

The light is dazzling, and it is extremely attractive to the eyes of creatures. It is extremely unusual for such dazzling light to appear in such a dark underground mine.

"Go look over there."

Li Mu ordered his family members to break their ears to speed up their pace, head towards the light, and exit the tunnel. The scene in front of them was unbelievable.

This is a more open mine space, in the shape of a nest, probably located at the center of the entire mine.

The space is confined, but there are a lot of colorful gemstones exposed on the rock wall, and the light is emitted from those ores, illuminating the entire area extremely brightly.

These gems seem to be priceless. If they were placed on the previous earth, they would probably be treasures that would make everyone crazy about them.

It's a pity that my demon world has its own national conditions,
Li Mu doesn't know whether there are creatures in the demon world who still love these gems, but for him who has become a tree demon, no matter how colorful the ore is, it's just an ordinary stone.

It's not as beautiful as the magic source crystallization.

What really attracted Li Mu's attention was the creature in the center of the ore.

An extremely huge, fat gray-white monster.

Judging only by appearance,

This big fat worm must be the leader of the magic worm, and the strength of the magic soldier is around the peak of the ninth rank, but judging by the appearance of the big fat worm who can't even keep moving, I'm afraid it's not the type that is good at fighting.

At the moment when the broken ear of the ape demon appeared,
The atmosphere in the gemstone mine suddenly became tense. The big fat worm wriggled and screamed in fear, while the surrounding monsters quickly swarmed around the leader, confronting the ape demon vigilantly.

"This monster leader is smarter than the rest of the monsters. It seems that he was the one who ordered the monsters to retreat in the battle just now."

Li Mu guessed,

However, no matter how smart this monster leader is, it is only compared with its fellow genus, and it is actually quite stupid, otherwise it would not lure the ape demon to its lair in a daze.

It is estimated that Fei Chong felt scared after seeing the strength of Duan Er, so he simply chose to call back his clansmen to protect himself, without thinking about bringing the enemy over.

"chichi"

The fat worm let out a strange cry, and the subordinates surrounded it tightly, and got into the belly of the fat worm, preparing to escape from this area with the mother worm.

However, due to its large body, it moves very slowly.

Duan Er walked slowly towards the fat worm, frightened the group of devil worms eager to protect their lord, and rushed up desperately, but of course Duan Er was crushed into a paste several times.

"Trees owner, how to deal with this big worm?"
