Chapter 77 Devouring Bloodline Worm
Upon entering the border area, the students showed no interest in the tall grass, thinking it was just ordinary weeds that were simply taller and denser, posing no danger.
But at this moment, whether they are novices participating in the collection operation for the first time or senior students who have been to the border area before, their faces are almost swollen from being slapped, physically swollen.
The lush grass, resembling a giant biological paradise, with its height exceeding two meters, serves as a natural sanctuary for small to medium-sized anomalous creatures. Creatures that had been lying dormant in the grass or hidden in underground burrows constantly emerged from all directions.
As the herd gathered and moved, the grass shook and swayed violently. Strands of tall grass struck the team members and students, seemingly harmless yet sharp as blades.
The temperature-controlled suits were torn open with one gash after another, the -30 degree Celsius temperature acting like knives, constantly drilling into the gaps. The biting cold quickly made the students understand what it felt like to be in an ice cave.
Winter has been underway for over two months, and hibernating creatures that remain dormant can mostly survive the harsh winter. However, upon suddenly waking, overwhelming hunger triggers these creatures to unleash a frenzied predatory mode.
Orange-red flames shot into the sky from behind. Clearly, the terrifying behemoth was approaching step by step.
Countless hordes of beasts swarmed around them, one wave after another, seemingly endless.
Finally, with their ammunition exhausted, the Blue Shield team members drew their melee weapons.
A brutal close-quarters combat battle has begun.
D3 and three other defensive-type ability users acted as human shields, charging ahead in the fray. The speed-type members, seizing opportunities, repeatedly plunged into the beast horde, reaping a fierce harvest before quickly retreating back to the team under the cover of their elemental sequence teammates.
Team members kept falling into pools of blood, their screams, wails, cries of pain mingling with the sounds of gushing blood.
The vast, green grasslands were stained crimson by the blood that had been splattered everywhere.
A cold wind swept by, causing the grass to ripple and sway, creating layers of red waves.
Viewed from above, it resembles the cloak of death.
"Awooo~"
A roar like a dragon's cry resounded.
Xu Su brandished his twin swords, slaying nearly ten thorn wolves covered in sharp spikes in one fell swoop, before leaping into the air.
Artificial intelligence quickly provided data analysis results, showing that the golden behemoth was less than two kilometers away from the group.
Although the Golden Dragon Salamander is no longer in flight mode, its enormous size means that its movement speed will not be slow.
"Rush!"
Xu Su's roar had barely reached everyone's ears when he disappeared back into the wolf pack.
'Bang'
With a muffled thud, D3 was propelled dozens of meters by a monster that emerged from the ground before crashing heavily into a pile of animal carcasses.
"Let's go, let's go!"
The dwarf uncle mustered his last breath to issue a warning, and G4, who was about to rush over to save him, was grabbed by the arm by another team member and sprinted desperately in the direction the team was heading.
At the same time, a figure suddenly disappeared from the crowd that was running for their lives.
The monster, which resembled an elephant's trunk and was about five or six meters long, was like a giant slug. It opened its huge mouth, which was full of serrated teeth and thick yellow slime, and lunged at D3.
Instant flash.
Joey led the dwarf uncle back to the group and gave Chit a wink.
With her keen observation skills, she probably wouldn't be able to find Beidu in this chaotic scene. If it weren't for Qi Te pointing out the direction and distance, even with the ability to teleport, she wouldn't have been able to accurately rescue the old man from the mouth of that sticky, disgusting monster.
"You all go, don't worry about me!"
D3 broke his left calf and knew he had no hope of escaping. Just as he was about to push Qi Te away, he saw another tall female student put her hand on his shoulder.
..........................
The dwarf uncle was surprised to feel a warm current seeping into his body.
The stunningly beautiful face beneath the mask turned deathly pale and aged several years in an instant.
Yue Wanwan herself possesses abundant vitality and can store a certain amount of it, but she had already exhausted it while treating Xu Su in the main control vehicle. The vitality she now uses to treat the uncle comes from the two thorn wolves.
The Blue Shield team worked together and killed most of the abnormal creatures. Only the resilient Thorn Wolf, wounded and struggling, managed to dash into the group of students.
Although they were all ordinary superhumans without professional training, everyone was fighting desperately to survive. While the team members fought valiantly, the students also used their superhuman abilities.
In complete chaos, no one noticed that Qi Te and Ji Chenyu were covering Yue Wanwan as they sucked the two thorn wolves into specimens.
To D3's astonishment, in just two or three seconds, his broken left leg was completely healed. Furthermore, he vaguely sensed that his seemingly depleted energy had also been somewhat restored.
Not much, just like a phone that had automatically shut down suddenly getting 10% battery charge.
It was precisely because his energy was depleted that his defenses were breached; otherwise, with his defensive capabilities, he would not have been so easily injured from a mere few dozen meters away.
"Squad leader, behind you!"
Before the uncle could speak, Qi Te suddenly shouted a warning.
Cao Yingchong, who was responsible for guarding the second line of defense and had reached the end with Qin Yun and Qing Feng, frowned.
Before he could even turn around, two wind blades materialized behind him. In an instant, they sliced the two charging Ghost Shadow Moth Lizards into four pieces.
"Damn, he got me again."
The class monitor's superpower is undeniably cool, but even at this hour, he still manages to maintain his high-class image; there's no one else like him.
Qi Te was speechless for a moment. As he moved forward with the group, he took out his phone to see if Jiang Luo had replied to his message. In that instant, he noticed several shadows moving rapidly in his field of vision.
From his current perspective, the moving object was clearly located underground.
After getting off the vehicle, the team leader led the way, with two veteran members bringing up the rear, and the remaining Blue Shield members lined up on both sides, surrounding the entire collection team in the middle.
After Joey rescued D3, Qin Yun, the senior who was walking at the back, and another member of Blue Shield who also had earth-type abilities, both used their abilities at the same time.
The ground trembled slightly, and clods of soil mixed with grass roots and gravel rose up from the ground. The clods, more than 20 centimeters thick, barely managed to keep the pursuing slug monster at bay on the other side.
After nearly fifteen minutes of continuous fighting, Qin Yun, who was only a D-rank, exhausted all his energy and collapsed backward in exhaustion. Qing Feng, a senior student who was over 190cm tall, reached out and caught Qin Yun in time.
Thank you!
Qin Yun was pale and so weak he could barely stand. Qing Feng was about to speak when a loud shout came from the crowd ahead.
"Watch your step!"
.......................
Qi Te stared intently at the ground, his vision revealing more and more eerie shadows, growing increasingly dense.
It moves very fast, is thin and rope-like, and is rapidly forming a net.
"Hey, what's that?" Ji Chenyu asked nervously.
Qi Te shook his head coldly: "I don't know, Chen Yu, protect your senior."
Ji Chenyu nodded. The battle in the ginkgo forest of the old campus made him realize one thing: as long as his senior sister didn't die, his good brother and he could live.
The faint sound of earth breaking reached Zit's ears.
There was no time to warn him; without thinking, he rushed forward and shoved Joey aside.
Hiss
A sound like a snake flicking its tongue rang out, and a dark red, thread-like object burst from the ground, grazing past Zit's back.
The slightly puffed-up inflatable thermal suit suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon, hissing and leaking air.
Qi Te hurriedly took off his coat, and sure enough, the back of the inflatable suit was rapidly rotting. A nauseating stench, mixed with the smell of burning, suddenly filled his nostrils.
"ah!!!"
In the middle of the crowd, the timid Lu Yan suddenly screamed.
Beside her, the petite, freckled Zhang Mingliang stood motionless.
The next second, his body was split in two as if it had been vertically sliced by a laser beam.
Blood gushed out, and the shattered body fell to the left and right sides due to the weight of the arm.
The students around them were sprayed with blood all over their heads, faces, and bodies, and they were so scared that their souls almost flew out of their bodies.
Qi Te had warned everyone to watch their step, but no one could have imagined that such a terrifying scene would unfold.
The sound of breaking ground echoed continuously. The Blue Shield team members on the outer perimeter were engaged in a head-on battle with the surging abnormal creatures, leaving them no time to spare. The students, on the other hand, were like frightened birds, unable to react in time.
Two team members and three students collapsed almost simultaneously. They were then engulfed by countless dark red, thread-like objects.
G4 instinctively wanted to save his teammates, but upon seeing the thing that quickly wrapped around his teammates' bodies, he trembled with immense fear.
"Vampire Bloodworm!"
"Run!"
