Chapter 99: Rank 2 Ley Line Creature

The days of peacefully "grinding monsters and leveling up" did not continue.

After dinner, the camp, which had gradually quieted down, suddenly erupted in a commotion.

Gao De felt something and looked in the direction the sound came from.

In a corner of the camp, a huge worm suddenly drilled out from the ground, leaving a large pit in place as if hit by a meteorite.

The worm was over ten meters high, and its diameter was close to one meter; this body size alone gave people a suffocating sense of oppression.

And its huge body was covered with dark purple horny armor.

The width of the giant mouth of the worm with sharp teeth was already equivalent to a human's height.

At this moment, an unlucky city guard was being bitten in its mouth.

Gulp, without any chewing, the city guard wearing leather armor was swallowed by the giant worm just like that.

A living person disappeared just like that.

"Not even peeling... not afraid of choking to death!" Gao De, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, had his pupils shrink.

His footsteps had subconsciously moved in the direction away from the worm.

Even if Gao De was ignorant, he could see that this giant worm was definitely not a Rank 0 ley line creature; it should be a Rank 1 ley line creature, or even a Rank 2 ley line creature! The existence of this rank was not something a magic apprentice like him should look at more than once.

Clearly, one guard could not satisfy the Purple Worm.

It acted again, lowered its head, and bit another guard who didn't have time to run.

Nearby magic apprentices cast spells, wanting to save people.

After the magic fluctuation, a whip-like lightning energy slashed over.

Pzzzt!

The seemingly fierce lightning beam landed on the giant worm's body covered with horny armor, as if it had met an insulator, and disappeared without causing any waves.

It was not just lightning.

Fire, acid, poison gas... many magic apprentices nearby cast spells, but no matter what spell it was, landing on the giant worm's body was like a drop of water falling into the desert, and there was no trace of its existence at all.

"It's a Rank 2 ley line creature, Purple Worm, everyone hurry and scatter!"

An official Rank 1 magic user saw this and hurriedly shouted, fearing that someone would still want to attack the Purple Worm without knowing life from death, causing unnecessary casualties.

Rank 2 ley line creatures could only be dealt with by Rank 2 magic users.

Even for Rank 1 magic users like them, they could at most provide some meager assistance.

As for magic apprentices, not only could they not threaten the Purple Worm at all, but they would even be in the way.

Upon hearing "Rank 2 ley line creature," who among those present still had the courage to linger? The crowd was suddenly in a panic, and everyone started to flee in all directions.

And in this short time, the Purple Worm had already succeeded frequently, swallowing five people in a row, including four guards and one unlucky magic apprentice.

It was not until this moment that the only Rank 2 magic user in the main force, Weiersha, arrived late.

She was extremely fast, and every step could cross a distance of four or five meters.

This speed had already exceeded the human limit; clearly, it was the effect of a spell.

As soon as she arrived at the scene, Magic User Weiersha's eyes immediately locked onto the Purple Worm.

She took a deep breath, and her fingers danced quickly and accurately in the air.

Her palms flashed with light, gradually condensing into four flashing darts.

Weiersha's eyes flashed with a biting intent, and she suddenly waved her arm forward, and the four flashing darts flew toward the Purple Worm like arrows leaving the string.

On the flight path of these four flashing darts, faint light marks were left in the air.

This was the trace left by powerful magic in the air.

The Purple Worm clearly felt the threat from these four flashing darts.

But its huge body made it unable to dodge flexibly, so it could only choose to resist hard.

The flashing darts drew a beautiful arc in the air and accurately hit the Purple Worm's body.

Every collision was accompanied by a crisp sound.

That was the sound of magic power colliding with the Purple Worm's hard shell.

This time, the Purple Worm could not be unscathed.

Its body trembled slightly under the blow of the flashing darts, and obvious wounds were left on its hard shell, and even several places began to seep blood.

Although these wounds were not fatal to the Purple Worm, they were enough to make it feel pain and anger. It became irritable and furious, wriggling its huge body, trying to approach Weiersha.

However, Weiersha did not give it this opportunity.

She retreated at an astonishing speed, and at the same time, the magic spiritual light in her hand flashed again.

With the casting of the spell, the air around the Purple Worm seemed to become heavy, and an invisible force bound the Purple Worm's actions.

The gravity in the area where it was located soared.

The Purple Worm's movements became slow and clumsy, and its originally not-fast moving speed was suppressed to be like a turtle crawling.

At the same time, this expanding gravity also caused unprecedented pressure on the Purple Worm, causing its originally not-serious wounds to tear open, expand, and blood splashed out.

The Purple Worm became even angrier.

But it was clear that all its combat power was on its powerful body, mainly relying on its strong jaws and sharp pincers to launch attacks.

The premise of these two attacks was close combat.

And Weiersha knew this point very well, always maintaining a distance from the Purple Worm, avoiding close contact with it.

No matter how angry and manic the Purple Worm was, raising sand and stones to the sky, Weiersha remained unmoved.

She waved her arm again, and four more flashing darts shot out.

The Purple Worm opened its huge jaws and let out a terrifying roar, trying to use sound to intimidate Weiersha.

But how could the experienced Weiersha be frightened by such a trivial little trick?

The four flashing darts accurately hit the wounds that had already cracked and expanded on the Purple Worm's body.

This blow went deeper.

Some kind of liquid under the Purple Worm's horny shell seemed to be scattered, turning into a purple mist that permeated.

Blood gushed out like a fountain.

But when Weiersha saw this scene, she did not have the slightest relaxation.

She understood that giant creatures like the Purple Worm had extremely tenacious vitality; don't look at the severe injuries, in fact, it was still far from dying.

"Those who have mastered Magic Missile, attack with me, aim at the wounds, and don't destroy the integrity of its jaws and pincers!"

Weiersha commanded coldly.

Clearly, she already had the victory in her grasp and had even started to consider the integrity of the loot.

The Rank 1 magic users of the law enforcement team who received the order actually had more than a dozen people take action at once.

It seemed that 【Magic Missile】 was one of the must-learn spells for the law enforcement team.

They each condensed magic power, and light also flashed in their palms, condensing flashing darts.

It turned out that these flashing darts were the so-called 【Magic Missile】.

It was just that the power contained in the flashing darts they condensed was naturally far inferior to Weiersha's.

In addition, they could only condense three flashing darts.

These magic missiles drew bright trajectories in the air; compared with the magic missiles issued by Weiersha, although the power was slightly inferior, they won in quantity.

The Purple Worm felt a strong threat, and its huge jaws actually pushed against the ground.

It was trying to drill into the ground to escape from here!

However, what it faced was no longer the soft soil it had been in for a few breaths.

A layer of invisible magic power had already shrouded the ground where it was located, making the ground tremble slightly; if it weren't for its huge body size, it might have already fallen to the ground.

At the same time, this magic power also made the soil become as hard as rock, making the Purple Worm unable to dig it open.

Weiersha saw the Purple Worm struggling in vain, and a cold smile of certainty hooked at the corner of her mouth.

She had long expected that this Purple Worm would try to drill into the ground to escape when facing danger, so she had cast 【Earth Tremor】 in advance, cutting off its retreat.

Under Weiersha's command, the Rank 1 magic users of the law enforcement team continued to launch fierce attacks on the Purple Worm.

The Purple Worm was painful and desperate, making angry and unwilling sounds; however, no matter how it struggled, it could not change its ending.

A few minutes later, no matter how tenacious the Purple Worm's vitality was, it could not withstand this continuous offensive and finally fell down.

Like a small building several stories high collapsing, it smashed onto the ground, stirring up a large cloud of dust.
