Chapter 143: Giant Polygonal Worm
I don’t know if it was a rumor or a coincidence, but all the statements he had heard pointed out that the giant polygons mainly appeared in the north of the Mongol, about between Shabak City and the Exiled Village.
In other words, as long as he can find and kill a giant polygon worm, He Ming can earn enough money to learn Taoism for more than a month, so he didn't even think about it and sort out his outfit, and he walked in that direction.
However, it has taken enough time and the sky is getting darker. It is too late to reach the location where giant polygons appear on the same day. Moreover, if you rush over with all your energy, you will be unable to maintain your physical strength.
So in this extremely familiar poisonous snake valley, He Ming easily hunted a wild wolf, so he found a place by the river to be near the tree, burned a bonfire and roasted it, and then ate it hard and fell asleep after eating it.
There was still some time before dawn, He Ming got up and packed the remaining wolf meat, found a shortcut and walked quickly towards his destination. In order not to cause trouble, he also deliberately bypassed the guards, crossed a mountain, and crossed the border between the two places.
It was already dawn at this time. While drinking the water from the water bag, I pulled out a wolf's legs and chewed and ran. Finally, I arrived at the middle area between Shabak and the Exile Village in the scorching sun. Surprisingly, the dry season in the Mongju had lasted for a long time, but many of them were not like hunters, but wandering around this area.
However, He Ming, who had a clear purpose, did not care about these people at all. He continued to explore this place where giant horned insects appeared in the rumor. He accidentally discovered that the place was so desolate that it was terrifying. The sky was covered with loess. From time to time, a gust of wind brought a piece of dust, but there was no trace of life at any time.
How can the yellow soil without even a little weed or moss be able to raise that giant insect? He Ming frowned and thought.
But he has come all the time, and it is not worth leaving until he has explored this lap. He left in the middle of the night. How could he be willing to leave?
Slowly, the wind in the air gradually became stronger and stronger, and the yellow soil was floating all over the sky, and the visibility decreased accordingly, and even breathing was affected. He Ming could only tear a piece of cloth and wrap his mouth and nose first, lift the sword up, and explore carefully step by step.
As the dust rises and dissipates, some disgusting sandworms that usually burrow underground drills out of the ground. These blood-red sandworms are as strange as they look at them from any angle.
The target of his trip has nothing to do with these animals, and they are extremely disgusting, so He Ming did not approach them, but tried to bypass these things and continue to search in the north.
It was this idea that helped him avoid a raid. Just as he was going around in circles to avoid these sandworms, a sudden bang was heard, and an amazingly large multi-angled ladybug suddenly emerged from the yellow soil. With a clatter, he nibbled half of the sandworm!
The other sandworms immediately began to panic and ran away in all directions. Some of them dug up the soil on the spot and prepared to drill in. However, this is obviously not wise, because the giant polygonal worm itself crawled out of the ground, and it is impossible to avoid it by digging the ground.
Sure enough, after swallowing a sandworm in a few bites, the giant multi-horned worm began to attack these sandworms who were about to escape. With just a rush, the corner above the head pushed apart, and now it was not in a hurry to eat it. It just killed several sandworms on the ground one bite, and then turned around to pick one and eat it slowly.
Just as it turned around, it stared at He Ming. This was a completely different target from its usual food. I don’t know whether it felt murderous intent or wanted to taste it, the giant polygonal worm made a giggling sound while moving towards He Ming.
It is no exaggeration to say that this monster is huge. It is like a ladybug lying on the ground, and it is above one person in height. Moreover, its wings are flapping and its six feet are even more shockingly fast. Although it is not as big as a house as rumored, it is really a huge thing in front of a person.
There are long pointed thorns on its head, back and legs. It can't be solved by touching it at any time. The exposed shell looks extremely hard, no wonder it can be made of armor.
I don’t know if this monster is poisonous, but looking at its food, the sandworms must not be clean. Its teeth and horns are used to kill the sandworms, which cannot avoid being highly toxic, so He Ming immediately made a judgment and could not fight head-on!
He quickly made a move to retreat, causing the giant polygon to speed up and chase him, disrupting its rhythm, and taking the opportunity to find out the speed limit of the big bug.
Sure enough, he stepped back at the beginning and rushed over at full speed. The six giant feet with thorns were paddling like wooden oars of a big ship, which was quick and rhythmic. Combined with the wings that flapped from time to time, it was not only powerful, but also extremely fast.
Very strong! But he still can't suppress He Ming in speed. He still has considerable means and routines to deal with such an animal with certain thinking ability.
He Ming was not in a hurry to use his fastest speed. While pretending to escape in a panic, he blocked his eyes as if his vision was seriously affected by smoke and dust. He slowly accelerated his speed and seemed to have to escape with all his strength.
How could he escape from the giant polygon worm that thought he had an absolute advantage? Suddenly, the hidden wings slammed with all their strength, and at the same time, he slapped his six legs and flew in the air with the force. He was enough to press the top of Mount Tai and pounced on He Ming, and finally his abdomen that was not completely covered by the armor was exposed.
And this is the opportunity that He Ming has been waiting for. The bulky insect flew halfway into the loophole. Where can he have any flexible movements? When the thunder danced, He Ming's speed was as fast as a ghost. He did not retreat but advanced. The sword light headed straight to the enemy with the sound of wind and thunder.
A sound of "Crack~bang!" passed. Although the giant polygon worm still had a certain shell defense on its abdomen, it was far from able to resist thunder. When He Ming raised his sword and rushed through its abdomen, he was slightly blocked by its abdomen. He still cut open its abdomen with the momentum of his forward and the acceleration of the worm's own advancement.
With one blow, He Ming suddenly rolled on the ground when the sword was scratched. When he stabilized his body and got up, he saw the giant polygon worm lying on the ground again. A pool of disgusting mucus flowed out of the position where it was just scratching it.
In this dry season when water is short, water is life. If this guy can't find anything else that replenishes moisture quickly, he doesn't need to fight it anymore. Sure enough, this giant polygon worm started digging to prepare to drill into the ground.
Once it succeeds, not to mention that it may devour the sandworm underground to replenish water, it will die below. He Ming will waste his energy, so he must not let it run away like this!
Holding thunder in both hands, He Ming rushed towards it.
The giant polygonal worm also reflected the speed. Although it dug the ground so that dust splashed everywhere and loess was everywhere, a small hole came out in an instant, but He Ming had just rushed to it, but he steadily and accurately smashed his front foot straight up.
He Ming had already made preparations. Seeing the claw coming, he swiped to the left and avoided the attack of a small ditch on the ground. He thunder slashed through it with sword energy and slashed on its foot joint with a click. He basically had no ability to dig the ground and escape.
However, he didn't expect that the shell in this joint was also scary. He Ming's sword was just an ordinary sword test stone and he opened it with his hands. He only cut a little bit away, and only a small amount of juice oozed out, which seemed to have no big impact on its actions.
He Ming himself was shocked several steps away from this move. The other leg had already stretched out and swept towards him. He Ming raised his sword and blocked it with all his might. He took advantage of the momentum and rolled over, landing steadily on the ground.
This is enough. One strike will at least tell the giant polygon worm a message: He Ming can hurt it, and he cannot ignore He Ming and continue digging.
Sure enough, although the insect was so powerful that it was a bit contrary to the laws of nature, its mind was still a bug. After suffering pain, it no longer cared about the injury and needed to escape. Instead, it dragged its still bleeding body, slashed its six feet and continued to pounce towards He Ming.
Perhaps it was because after taking that move, it no longer flapped its wings to leverage its strength, but it could not increase its speed so fast, and its movements were not flexible and could not keep up with He Ming's speed at all.
He Ming didn't plan to relax it, and kept a speed that made it hoped to catch up with it, sometimes left and right, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and circled around it from time to time, so that the big bug could not catch up with it and could not escape, and was exhausted.
As time goes by, the speed of the giant polygonal worms finally slowed down. Many traces have been left on the map where they were fighting. These are the traces of its body fluids condensed after they landed on the ground. The sunlight shone through the yellow earth smoke and dust, reflecting a strange light.
He made another powerful thrust at He Ming, and the insect stopped all movements, tightened its limbs and shrank into a ball.
It's not the first time I've dealt with wild animals. The giant multi-horned worm that was so fierce just now seemed to be completely dead. No matter how you look at it, it seems like you are pretending to be dead, but whether it's really dead or pretending to be dead, He Ming must also get close to it to make sure.
So He Ming pretended to be unprepared and walked towards the giant polygon worm that was curled into a ball, making a move to stretch out a hand to lift it.
Just when He Ming was still three to five steps away from approaching him, the insect suddenly sniffed out, and his six feet and hidden wings exerted force together. With a clatter, he rushed over at all costs at an unprecedented speed.
However, all this has been in He Ming's plan. Since the bug's full force slam is to use its wings to exert force together, it will inevitably jump up and expose its abdomen. At the same time, the direction of its attack is also the blank space deliberately left by He Ming's hand extending out.
So He Ming rolled to the right step by step, and the thunder thunder was carried by him, leaving a horizontal wound on its abdomen again.
This time the bug is basically done, and you no longer have to pretend to be dead.
