Chapter 64:, Mother Worm (Extra)_1
Translator: 549690339
The arrival of a group of undead cavalry.
Brief chaos swept over the pig-headed human village.
Standing on both sides of the road, they were whispering in fear.
Under Bolton’s guidance, Fang Hao went straight into the village.
It was clear that the pig-headed humans’ village was not affluent, identical to the previous gnoll camp in size.
There were around two to three hundred individuals.
“Sir, please wait a moment, I will inform the clan leader,” Bolton respectfully said.
“No need, find me a grass hut, and don’t let anyone disturb us,” Fang Hao said.
“Sure, sure!”
Bolton found a grass hut at the corner of the village.
“Sir, is this place all right?” Bolton asked, afraid the other party might not be satisfied.
“It’s fine. Just make sure that no one approaches during this time,” Fang Hao warned again.
“I will tell the clan leader not to allow anyone near here.”
“Good.”
After Bolton left, Fang Hao had a hundred cavalrymen enter the grass hut before he dismissed the state of God’s Presence.
His conscious returned to its own body.
Fang Hao sat up from the bed.
He exited the lord’s wooden house and stretched his body in the open space.
After about half an hour’s rest, he began his next plan.
He opened the Book of Lords and flipped to the [Manufacture] menu.
He found the blueprint for the [Fire Torch] he had before.
[Fire Torch: Wood 1, Straw 2, Leather 1.]
The fire torch was a blueprint obtained from the previous battle against Zhuang Hong.
Before now, there was never an opportune moment to use it.
Create a hundred units.
[Achieving a hundred times amplification, you have received 10100 torches.]
Ten thousand torches appeared in front of Fang Hao.
He had the skeletons bring a few carts to store the bundles of torches.
After making all the preparations, Fang Hao returned to the room and resumed his God’s Presence.
[Target for God’s presence, skeleton soldier, compatibility 88°/o.]
When he opened his eyes again, he had transferred his consciousness to a skeleton soldier’s body.
He counted eight thousand skeleton soldiers, two thousand skeleton spear-wielders, and a hundred skeleton giant bats.
A squad of eleven thousand, carrying the prepared torches, once again headed towards the abandoned mine.
A few hours later.
Fang Hao and his team finally arrived at the abandoned mine again.
The mining area was still deserted, the vegetation was dead, and no living creature could be seen.
“Set up the spear formation, skeleton soldiers put down your shields and grab your torches,” Fang Hao commanded loudly.
The spear-wielding skeletons began to form a shield wall, their spears poking out from the gaps in the shields.
The skeleton soldiers put down their shields and picked up the ready-made torches from the carts.
After lighting up one with a flintstone, they lit up each torch in the soldiers’ hands, one by one.
Fang Hao’s idea was simple.
The worms were too tiny to grab, and it wasn’t convenient to kill them with swords.
However, burning them with the fire from the torches and pinning them down was effective.
All the torches lit up, creating a sea of fire.
“Advance and kill all living creatures,” Fang Hao commanded again.
The skeleton army entered the mine, where a mass of controlled animals and orcs appeared again within the dark mine.
They launched an attack on the skeleton legion.
The spear-wielding skeletons pushed forward, their extended spears pierced all the attacking corpses.
Iron-Eating Worms crawled out from the bodies and began searching for new hosts.
Sssss!!
But the very next second, a torch was pressed onto it, burning it to ashes.
Eight thousand skeleton soldiers, closely following the spear-wielders.
Chasing the fleeing worms throughout the area.
Facing the already dead undead, these parasitic worms had no way out. They could only be burnt or crushed to death after their host died.
Soon, hundreds of animal carcasses were piled up in the middle of the mine.
And some charred, crispy worm corpses.
The battle outside was over; next was the mine.
“Good, prepare to enter the mine.”
Fang Hao started to arrange his strategy.
The mine was narrow, allowing only three people to walk side by side.
He arranged for three skeleton spearmen to take up the first and second rows, while the following three lines were occupied by skeleton soldiers holding torches.
The rest of the soldiers were stationed at the entrance.
After all the arrangements were made.
They started to line up according to the plan and entered the mine.
Fang Hao positioned himself in the third row, holding a torch in his hand, closely following the spearmen.
The cave was pitch-dark, with cold winds making the torches flicker constantly.
With the help of the faint torchlight, the walls of the mine, marked with various man-made scratches from the excavation, were visible.
It seemed that during the initial phase of mining, these worms were not present. They appeared later and occupied the mine.
Going further in, the ground was already covered with bones of various animals.
The bones were as densely packed as a mass grave.
Soon, a large number of parasitized animals appeared from the depths of the mine in front.
They launched an attack on the undead troops.
In this narrow mine, a fierce battle broke out.
The parasitized animals attacked fearlessly.
The skeleton spearmen kept thrusting their long spears, turning their targets in front into honeycombs.
Fang Hao and those following close behind were also very busy.
They used their torches and feet to thoroughly kill the worms that escaped.
After successfully repelling a few waves of attacks, the troop continued to advance into the depths.
Eventually, they reached the end of the mine.
At the deepest part of the mine, there was a nest assembled from countless bones.
The structure was somewhat similar to a swallow’s nest.
But inside the nest wasn’t a swallow; it was a gigantic worm.
The bloated belly was like a spider, constantly wriggling.
[Iron-Eating Worm Matriarch]
[Ability: Reproduction]
Damn it, it’s the mother worm.
No wonder no one has been able to wipe out these worms for so long.
The worms had already formed their social structure. As long as the Matriarch was alive, these Iron-Eating Worms would never be eradicated.
Bang!
An iron sword held by a skeleton soldier hit the cave wall, echoed continuously in the mine.
The initially closed-eyed Matriarch suddenly opened its numerous eyes, bloodshot, looking at them.
At such a close range, Fang Hao could feel the fury in the Matriarch’s eyes.
The body of the Matriarch started to wriggle violently.
Its tail was posed at a strange angle towards the skeletal troops.
From the huge belly of the Matriarch, the wriggling speed was rapidly increasing.
The next second.
The tail spewed out a massive amount of Iron-Eating Worms, shooting towards them like a cloud covering the sky.
Fang Hao stood at the third row.
Seeing the worm swarm, as if sprayed out by a high-pressure water gun, his face instantly changed.
Although the skeletons weren’t afraid of these worms,
He could feel a wave of nausea rising within.
“Raise the shields.”
The spearmen in the first and second rows raised their wooden shields.
Slap,slap!
The worms struck the wooden shields, making frequent collision noises.
“Spearmen, go kill the Matriarch, the rest of you, clear the worms.” Fang Hao issued orders after avoiding the spray attack.
Ignoring the worms around them, the spearmen launched an attack on the Matriarch.
The others, on the other hand, started to clear out the Iron-Eating Worms in various ways..
