Chapter 127: Decapitation
“Phew!” Heath let out a long sigh and rubbed the space between his eyebrows.
Although the magic power consumed by this resurrection spell was mainly from the staff itself and he was only playing a guiding role, this was an official-level spell after all. The magic power consumed by just guiding was also extremely huge.
After resting for a while, he took out a magic potion to recover his magic power from his dimensional pocket and drank it. Only then did he recover.
Following that, Heath did not delay any longer and immediately began to move. Although the Necromancer’s Staff’s undead recovery was powerful, it only had an hour for him to use it. From now on, he had to seize every second.
He first counted the number of his own army.
Through the special spiritual connection, he quickly understood the current size of his army.
They were one Queen Spider, 36 high-level Demonized Spiders, and the remaining 8,623 were ordinary Demonized Spiders. As for the smaller spiders, they were all burned to ashes by the Hellfire Sea and could not be resurrected.
Then, he organized the 8,000-plus spider army into groups of dozens of teams.
The Abyssal Queen Worm was a spiritual abyssal life form. Its strength lay in its surging spiritual power, which allowed it to control a large number of insect-type creatures. The maximum range of the adult Abyssal Queen Worm was 1,000 meters.
Its strength was very limited if viewed alone. However, in this forest filled with demonized insects, it became extremely powerful.
According to Heath’s estimation, the number of demonized insects controlled by the Abyssal Queen Worm was at least 60,000, which far surpassed Heath’s undead army in terms of both quantity and quality.
However, insects were still insects. Humans would never be able to learn how it arranged their troops…
…
Ten minutes later, in the Magic Bug Forest, guarding the east side of the Forest Guard Tower.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! The sound of wings flapping echoed in the forest. A Giant Bloodthirsty Mosquito flapped its wings and wandered around the forest, like a patrolling soldier.
Whoosh, whoosh! At this moment, two sharp wind-breaking sounds rang out.
Two giant Demonized Spiders leaped out of the forest. Their large mouthparts opened up, and a ball of white silk shot out, quickly turning into a large spider web in the air.
Whoosh!
The Giant Bloodthirsty Mosquito was caught off guard by the web and was pinned to the ground.
At the same time, another Demonized Spider leaped up and pounced over. Its sharp forelimbs that were as sharp as blades were raised high and then slashed heavily at the head of the Giant Bloodthirsty Mosquito. With a ‘pu’ sound, the entire head of the Giant Bloodthirsty Mosquito was cut off.
Squeak! Squeak! It was the sharp sound of insects exploding in the forest.
The spiritual connection allowed the Abyssal Queen Worm to immediately discover the death of the Giant Bloodthirsty Mosquito.
Under its command, more than ten Giant Bloodthirsty Mosquitoes immediately rushed over here.
But at the same time, in another forest a few hundred meters away from this battle point, a few Demonized Spiders also invaded. Similarly.., the moment they were discovered, the Abyssal Queen Worm immediately dispatched a pair of bugs to encircle and annihilate them.
Such a scene erupted throughout the entire Magic Bug Forest.
For a moment, with the Forest Guard Tower as the center, every area within a thousand meters was invaded by Demonized Spiders. From a high altitude, it seemed as if the Demonized Spiders had surrounded this area.
In order to prevent the invasion, the Abyssal Queen Worm immediately sent the insects under her control.
When a large number of insects were sent to the front line to fight against the Demonized Spiders, a hollow area naturally appeared in the center of the Forest Guard Tower.
And at this time, Heath took action…
…
The Magic Bug Forest, Forest Guard Tower.
Standing under the Forest Guard Tower, Heath looked up at the tall tower.
This was the center of the Magic Bug Forest. The watchmen who were responsible for guarding the Magic Bug Forest lived here. Other than that, this place also served as a prison for Wizards who broke the rules and important political prisoners.
For example, if Heath was caught, he would be imprisoned here.
“Such a thing will never happen!”
Retracting his gaze, Heath walked into the tower.
There were obvious signs of a battle here. Around the tower were a circle of Green Goblin’ corpses, with a few Knights among them.
In the pouring rain, fresh blood mixed with mud flowed wantonly.
In order to fight against the spider army, the Abyssal Queen Worm had basically sent the insects to the frontline. Only a small portion of them was stationed around the tower.
With just these, it was naturally impossible to form a thorough defense against the tower, especially when the Abyssal Queen Worm was still busy fighting against the spider army. She did not expect that an uninvited guest had arrived in her nest.
Using invisibility, Heath easily stepped over the corpses of the Green Goblins and walked into the tower.
On the first floor of the tower was a spacious circular hall, the layout was similar to most Wizard towers.
However, at this moment, the hall had completely turned into a worm nest. The floor and ceiling were covered with a thick film, and the surroundings were covered with large worm eggs.
Seeing this scene, Heath could not help but frown. “I really don’t know why the Wizards would leave such a dangerous thing here.”
All insects had a strong reproductive ability, and the Abyssal Queen Worm was no exception. Even if it was only a few days after it came out of the seal, it was enough for it to form an ecological environment here.
It was a species that reproduced asexually, and it had obviously begun to lay eggs.
If left unchecked, it would not take long for the larvae of the Abyssal Queen Worm to hatch. In less than a month, it would cause a plague of insects in the Underdark Treesea.
This was undoubtedly adding insult to injury to the current Underdark Treesea.
“I wonder if this is considered a disguised attempt to save the world?”
As his thoughts ran wild, Heath continued to walk inside. After passing through a long corridor, he quickly found the Abyssal Queen Worm.
How should he describe this monster?
It looked like a magnified version of a giant maggot. It was long and its body had sections. It was also milky white. There was a large mouthpart at one end of its head. In the mouthpart, there were serrated sharp teeth and densely packed tentacles around it. It looked extremely disgusting.
Abyssal creatures generally had the model of random growth. Any creature that came from the abyss, no matter what kind of creature, did not conform to human aesthetic standards.
However, it could not be denied that they were powerful.
Standing behind a pillar, Heath secretly looked at the Abyssal Queen Worm in front of him, trying to calm down the nervousness in his heart.
The Abyssal Queen Worm seemed to have sensed that something was wrong, and her spiritual power scanned the direction where Heath was.
The Abyssal Queen Worm’s strength lay in its spiritual power, but this did not mean that her main body was useless. On the contrary, her main body also had extraordinary combat ability.
Its three attributes were no less than 30 points. It could also spit acid that could easily melt steel, had excellent spiritual attacks, and had a strong stance ability…
Many factors combined determined that this was not a battle that would be easy to win.
But Heath firmly believed that he would win.
It might be very hard, he might get injured, and he might be exhausted.
But he had calculated repeatedly.
He was certain.
He would definitely win!
“Hu!”
Heath let out a long breath and suppressed the nervousness in his heart. He held his sword and walked out from behind the pillar.
The next moment.
Clang!
The cold interweaving sound of metal exploded in the hall!
