321 The Great Calamity Is Coming [Extended Chapter]

“Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom…”

Ronin was still thinking about various possibilities in Perseus’ words.

The sudden noise grabbed all his attention.

The ground trembled, and the gravel and soil particles under his feet trembled.

If you listen carefully, you will find that the dull sounds are coming from the ground.

“team leader!”

The knight in front of Luo Ning took two steps forward, and he walked quickly to the knight commander in the red cape.

“The movement in the ground is very likely to come from a kind of insect, a kind of desert demon…”

There was no big sword hanging from the man’s waist, but a notepad.

It is estimated that this person is the intelligence officer responsible for recording the information of the demons. At the same time, he also knows more about the demons than anyone else.

Just as he said, a bunker suddenly appeared two hundred meters in front of the team.

The diameter of the sand pit was about twenty meters, and the sand inside collapsed crazily, collapsing toward the invisible hole in the center.

“His-“

The first thing that emerged from the ground was a round, huge ‘mouth’.

It was a soft, wriggling worm.

The magic worm is extremely high. After emerging from the ground, its head is more than ten meters high.

Apart from the big mouth, there is not a single bit of embellishment on the milky white body of the demon insect.

It looked like a huge ‘maggot’ with its mouth open.

That bloody mouth is full of dense teeth, at a glance there are probably hundreds of them, densely arranged in the depths of its mouthparts.

“We call it the ‘Abyssal Mouth’ here. I don’t know if this thing is recorded in the human data…”

Beside Luo Ning, Perseus enthusiastically explained to him.

He hesitated for a moment, and then said, “But… the protein content of this monster is extremely high, and some tall monsters will like to chew it into juice and swallow it…”

“Okay, stop talking.”

Luo Ning felt nauseated.

There will be magic insects underground, which is normal.

After all, the deep underground is the only place in the entire desert where one can hide.

Looking at the wriggling and roaring appearance of this worm, either this guy has not eaten for too long and needs to find food to fill his stomach, or someone has invaded its territory, and it is not happy.

“Captain… This worm has a huge appetite, I’m afraid it needs…”

The knight in charge of the knight commander ‘Popular’ said something mysteriously.

He stretched out his finger and made a ‘ten’ gesture in front of the knight commander.

Luo Ning couldn’t understand what they meant, just felt puzzled.

But in the next second, what the knight commander said made Luo Ning instantly understand something.

“Send ten people out.”

The knight commander ordered the people behind him.

“…Why?” Maria was very strange and said in amazement:

“If the worm… just kill it…”

“This kind of monster has a lot of juice in its body. After death, the juice will flow out, and the fresh juice will attract more monsters. Can you guarantee to kill it without breaking its outer skin?”

The knight in charge of science questioned Maria.

Maria froze for a moment.

“Then what do you mean by sending the townspeople out…”

“The devil’s territory is a desert all the year round. The species here are in urgent need of food. When they sense that humans are approaching, they will definitely come to forage for food.”

“Magic bugs are lazy by nature. As long as we don’t encounter extremely violent species and let them eat, they will leave on their own.”

“And for us, the best way is to…”

The knight in charge of popular science stopped talking here.

Perhaps he also felt that it was unconscionable to do so. But the order of the empire is absolute to the knights.

“You, you are not recruiting to explore the way…”

Maria was completely stunned.

She obeyed His Majesty’s request, came to watch it in person, escorted the city people out of the city, and wanted to accompany them to advance together, collect the geographical information of the demons together, and then triumph together.

The Empire would throw them away, let them test poisons and try traps, she recognized them all.

However, in the end, the Empire didn’t even treat them as human beings!

Thinking of this, Maria completely understood.

I understand why the empire is just exploring the way, but it has to make a big splash and recruit a thousand civilians…

In the eyes of the empire, they are not even the lowest-ranking soldiers. Their only use value is to serve as rations for these demons! !

“I don’t allow you…!!” Maria took out her weapon.

Like Lorning, her weapon is a magic book.

The power of the magic book is strong, but the magic of the earth attribute is not so aggressive, and the focus is on defense.

But as the strongest magician under King Yilan, she would not allow her commoners to make the rations for that demon!

She turned the page where she was best at, and the spell in her mouth had already begun to be recited.

The huge demon worm behind him has completely drilled out, its huge head drooping down on the sand, with a shrill hissing sound in its mouth, and it squirmed and approached.

If the prey were to escape, it would swim through the sand at great speed.

However, the prey stood motionless, and this time the prey was as many as a thousand units, so even the demon insects with a small brain capacity were somewhat guarded.

“Hey, who agreed to let this woman come along?”

The knight commander sneered.

His primary target was not Maria, but still the thousand civilians who were trembling with fear at the sight of the demon insects.

“Catch ten out.”

The knight commander didn’t even think about expecting this woman to be obedient. He changed his words and ordered to his loyal subordinates.

The knights took orders one after another, as if Maria did not exist, and passed by Maria.

Maria was already battling with swords, and an earth-attribute magic circle appeared in front of her.

She first aimed at the magic insects on the ground, and then turned around, and the magic circle on her palm aimed at the heads of those imperial knights.

Although she knew what it would mean if she attacked the knights of the empire…

It means that the royal city of Yilan does not obey the orders of the empire.

Means, the betrayal of Wangcheng.

But even so, it was impossible for Maria to watch her townspeople feed them to the worms!

Maria’s hands were shaking, but her eyes were absolutely determined.

The imperial knights sensed her killing intent, and the long swords around their waists were drawn out in sequence. After confirming that the woman had completely betrayed, they would attack.

The accident between the lightning and flint caught everyone off guard, and the civilians were too stunned to know what to do.

Although they didn’t hear the knight’s conversation, they didn’t know that their existence was actually fodder for the demons.

However, if Principal Maria wants to defect at this moment, these thousand people will follow her without hesitation.

The townspeople put their hands on the rusty swords beside them, preparing to counterattack with Principal Maria.

Maria didn’t have time to be moved, she couldn’t be more clear, once this magic was thrown out, she would just die, and this thousand people and even the entire royal city would be killed by her.

The breath under her chest was trembling. Maria held back her emotions and tried to communicate with the knights in a trembling humble tone.

“There are other ways, I will find a way… You can’t do this…”

“This is the order of the Empire.” The knight reminded her slowly.

“Imperial royal family…is it so cruel…”

Maria bit her lip, her whole body trembled violently, and even the formed magic circle on her hand began to collapse.

She suddenly remembered something, and a pair of hazy eyes locked on the man on the other side.

Luo Ning watched this scene.

He was still thinking that if Maria did something, he would kill the knights directly.

I didn’t bother to care if anyone was following him, or if the knight had any magic tools to communicate with the outside world.

Once Maria takes action, the situation cannot be reversed.

But it turned out that this woman was still a little sensible, and Maria didn’t really do anything in the end.

It’s just… The empire’s approach is indeed shocking and hot.

Although these townspeople may not even be considered ‘captives’ in the eyes of the Empire, but…is the monarch who made such a decision really worthy of sitting in that position?

“Hey……”

Luo Ning sighed helplessly.

He tugged at Perseus’ sleeve and walked forward to the front of the knight commander.

“Isn’t it just feeding the magic insects, then feed it.”

“Human food is not attractive to demon insects. They like fresh living things. In the presence of so many fresh living things, it is impossible for us to feed dry food…”

The knight of science, who was standing beside the knight commander, kept nagging.

He subconsciously thought that Luo Ning rushed over because he wanted to feed the demon insects with other food.

Luo Ning smiled:

“Who said I’m going to feed it dry food? I’m not going to arrest people, can’t I feed it this?”

Lorning pulled Perseus out and showed it to the knight commander.

Perseus looked like an ordinary middle-aged man at the moment.

It’s just that the man’s muscles are a little too developed, especially the chest muscles, which protrude a lot, and it looks like the kind that is often exercised.

“You don’t expect him to be strong enough to break the bite of the monster. This monster has thousands of teeth. If the body is squeezed, the bite force will be several thousand pounds…”

“Stop talking nonsense,” this time the impatient person was Luo Ning, and he continued:

“Don’t you want to feed, hurry up.”

“But one feed is not enough…”

“Feed this first, he is so old, let’s see if the worm is full or not.” Luo Ning said anxiously.

This group of people is too inky.

Seeing that the magic insect has already rushed over from the sand.

Lorning dragged Perseus forward, took a few steps, and pushed him.

“Jump in yourself.”

“……Oh.”

Perseus was forced to move forward, looking at the gap between the opening and closing of the giant mouth, leaping forward, and actively jumping into the mouth of the monster.

“Gluck cluck…”

The demon worm ate the food, raised its head and chewed it, making a strange noise in its mouth.

“…”

Whether it was Luo Ning’s operation or the man’s arrogant jumping into the worm’s mouth, all the knights were dumbfounded.

They haven’t seen anyone like this…

Maria was also completely stunned in place.

She walked up quickly, with crystal tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, looking at Luo Ning in disbelief.

“Luonin, you…”

“Shh…”

Lorning put a finger in front of Maria’s lips, telling her not to speak or doubt.

“Didn’t I tell you to believe me?”

Maria grabbed the finger standing in front of her mouth, held it in the palm of her hand, and pressed it down.

“But……”

Although she was willing to believe Luo Ning, the scene she saw in front of her was absolutely true.

Under the instructions of Luo Ning, the city citizen jumped into the mouth of the magic insect.

But Luo Ning clearly promised her that there would be no shortage of people here…

“His-!”

The demon worm suddenly screamed while squirming.

Then, as if possessed by a demon, he slammed into the sand.

The ferocious giant mouth was tightly closed, and the demon worm plunged into the ground, squirming its body desperately, trying to escape from here.

This series of abnormal actions made the knight commander even more stunned, and he was a little overwhelmed.

“What’s the situation?” he quickly asked the knight of science beside him.

The knight was also at a loss, and quickly flipped through his own record book, eager to find records about this creature.

“The above said that the appetite is huge, it is impossible to eat one person…”

The demon worm rolled on the ground, and its head was buried in the ground, but the body couldn’t get in in the panic.

The worm ran away while screaming, as if…

“It reacts as if it has encountered a terrifying creature that is infinitely higher than itself…”

The knight of science widened his eyes.

“Could it be that there are more advanced demons around here?!”

The knight commander finally felt that the situation was not good.

He quickly grabbed the epee behind him, took it off, and held it in his hand.

For a time, not only the knights were overwhelmed, but even the commoners recovered from their confusion.

Panic and panic spread through the crowd.

Dozens of people saw it with their own eyes, and one of the men between them willingly jumped into the mouth of the devil.

“Boom boom boom…”

The crazy worm penetrated into the ground and escaped.

Luo Ning is very much in favor of Perseus’s practice of scaring away the magic insects, so as not to let them burst and leak juice, which is still worthy of praise.

But… the movement is too loud?

Luo Ning raised his hand subconsciously, wanting to communicate with the knight commander.

As a result, when he raised his hand, he found that his hand was held by Maria at some point.

It is estimated that when she made a gesture to tell Maria not to say more, Maria grabbed his hand and pressed it down, and then she forgot to release it in a daze.

“There’s someone up there!”

As soon as the demon worm left, it was terrifyingly quiet all around, so the sudden voice of a person in the crowd made people shudder.

His eyes followed the angle pointed by the man.

Under the scarlet twin red moon, a figure appeared there alone.

She had a light on her back, and her gothic black dress was automatically in the air without wind.

A huge sickle was like a weapon used by the god of death to harvest souls, making her already petite body a little smaller.

“Yes, Demon King…”

The most unique thing is the pair of devil horns that protrude from both sides of his forehead.

It is said that the pair of horns can be exchanged for a city in the hands of the emperor.

“Lilulu.”

Everyone trembled a few times when they heard the name of the first demon king.

Luo Ning is no exception.

His tiger body was shocked, and he looked into the eyes of the scarlet demon.

There were no human civilians or human knights in Lilulu’s eyes.

Lilulu cared more about… Luoning’s hand than those ants.

Her eyes locked silently on the hand that Luoning and Maria held together.

It’s not calm, it’s not anger, it’s a kind of… more similar to a girl’s reaction when she’s angry.

not good…

Luo Ning felt that he was in great trouble.
