Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The most coveted thing about poisonous wasps was not only their strength but also their huge number.
There were thousands of them in a lair, all Rare 3-stars, level 5.
If this thing went crazy, who would be able to withstand it…
If he could take possession of the poisonous wasps and place them in the Russian olive forest to protect the desert bees.
A troop does not even need to guard the olive forest.
Even the safety of the entire territory could be guaranteed.
This thing was no less valuable than the Dark Gargoyles Lair.
After Richard talked to the fat aunt for a while, he didn’t hesitate and immediately gathered the troop to go to the olive forest.
These flying forces, especially the dark gargoyles were perfect for tracking the poisonous wasps.
When they arrived at the olive forest, the residents had already prepared everything for use.
Richard paid a visit to the young man who had a unique nose ability in the eyes of the other residents.
He encouraged the young man. If it wasn’t for the fact that he reacted to a certain smell, he would have advised the young man to see a doctor…
“Lord, those rabbit jerky soaked in plant juice are here…”
Richard had already stretched out a lot of the dried rabbit meat due to prolonged soak. He nodded slightly and asked them to hang the dried rabbit meat in the same position as the other day.
“Ahche!”
A loud sneeze sounded.
Richard turned around and saw that it was indeed the young man from before.
However, not only was the young man not embarra.s.sed, he looked at the surrounding residents with pride.
It was an honor to be able to help the great lord!
When Richard saw this, he could only pretend that he did not see him…
As long as he is happy.
The hunting of wasps was not timed. All that was left was to wait after the dried rabbit meat was hung up.
Half an hour later, “Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!”
Suddenly, the surrounding bees let out a huge roar.
Richard raised his head to look at the sky. Three stinger wasps descended from the sky.
The wasps had intended to run to the hive.
But in the blink of an eye, they seemed to smell something. They turned around and flew toward the olive forest with dried rabbit meat.
They could feel the food contained special energy, which made them very excited.
One stinger wasp flew to the fork and began to lower its head to sniff the dried rabbit meat. After a moment, the stinger wasp grabbed the long dried rabbit meat and flew up.
The other two stinger wasps did the same thing.
Richard’s eyes lit up when he saw that the stinger wasp carried the dried rabbit meat.
This was a great idea. Not only could the smell be tracked, but the poisonous wasps’ speed could also be slowed down.
As Richard watched the poisonous wasp fly away, he waved his hand.
The dark gargoyle behind him immediately picked up the young man, and then its thick and powerful legs fiercely glared at the ground.
‘Bang!’ The wings flapped and rose into the air.
At the same time, all the dark gargoyles took off and followed the poisonous wasp.
Richard did not stay any longer. He turned around and left the olive forest. He led the other troops to follow.
However, as they walked on the sand, no matter how fast they were, they could not compare themselves to flying.
Soon, the dark gargoyle in front of him disappeared.
Richard saw a dark gargoyle float in the air after he crossed a few hills.
The dark gargoyle pointed in another direction.
Richard followed the direction, and the dark gargoyle that stopped to point the way immediately returned to the team.
Just like that, with the dark gargoyle as a signpost, he bypa.s.sed many military encampments in the wild.
Today’s target was the poisonous wasp. He was temporarily not interested in scanning the map.
One, two hours… After a full six hours, the dark gargoyles that returned to the team had already been sent out for another round.
Just when Richard felt tired, he saw the dark gargoyle fly in front of him with the young man.
The young man excitedly waved his arms in the air.
“My Lord, the poisonous wasp is in that piece of rubble. Ahche!”
Just as Richard got closer, he heard the young man’s excited shout and loud sneeze.
Richard nodded and signaled for the dark gargoyle to place the other side down.
He turned his head to take a look. In front of him was a rubble area, and messy stones covered the ground.
He couldn’t see the poisonous wasp in the air.
“You continue to lead the way.”
“Ahche!… Yes, Lord, Ahche!…”
Richard was relieved with the guidance of the young man’s special abilities.
He was not in a hurry to go up. First, he let Gray lead the troop to scout the way. At the same time, he spread out the dark gargoyles to be on guard.
In an unfamiliar environment, it was best to be careful.
It was much more convenient to scout the surrounding situation with a flying troop.
Not long after Gray left, suddenly…
‘Rumble…’
The earth shook violently as if some terrifying life force had torn the earth apart.
“An earthquake?!”
Richard’s expression changed drastically.
“This kind of natural disaster would not be reasonable!!
“Everyone, retreat immediately!!”
At this time, the dark gargoyle in the sky suddenly swooped down sharply and carried him on its back. It flapped its wings and rose into the air with a glare.
As his line of sight increased, Richard could vividly see the ground in front was constantly collapsing. It even extended crazily from the inside.
Thick dust rose hundreds of meters high.
Large cracks appeared, and countless pieces of rubble collapsed. The scene was extremely terrifying.
The dark gargoyles in the sky continued to swoop down. It lifted the troops on the ground and escaped danger.
However, the number of dark gargoyles was too small. A large number of troops were buried in the sudden cracks on the ground because their running speed was too slow…
Richard’s face turned ashen while Richard looked at the dust that rolled on the ground.
“Dark gargoyles, bring the troops to a safe place and immediately return to search and rescue!!”
This was simply an unexpected disaster.
He could understand that a powerful enemy had appeared. But the sudden earthquake, this f*cking ghost had predicted it.
When the thick smoke gradually dispersed, Richard’s face suddenly looked better.
Many troops crawled out from the ground.
“Sand Transformation!”
This powerful life-saving skill once again displayed its value that could not be exchanged for gold.
However, he still did not relax. He ordered the troops to immediately withdraw from this area. No one knows about aftershocks.
He sat on the back of the dark gargoyles and rushed to the central area under the protection of the other dark gargoyles.
Gunter had just been brought up by the dark gargoyles, but there was still no news of Gray.
The death of the other troops would at most cause a loss of resources, but if something happened to an A-rank hero, it would not be something that could be made up for with resources.
The sky was covered with sand and dust, and fine sand constantly blew on Richard’s face. His vision was very poor.
Fortunately, Gray did not go far. A moment later, he found other dark gargoyles in the air.
Gray, who had activated the Sand Transformation, stood on a rock on the ground. The sound of breaking rocks was constantly heard around as if the aftershock hadn’t pa.s.sed yet.
“Ahche!”
The sneeze of the young man in the air eased the atmosphere a little.
Richard was relieved when he had confirmed a few casualties only.
But in the next second, he suddenly turned his head.
At this time, the dust in front of him gradually dispersed, and a huge body that was more than ten meters tall was faintly discernible in the dust.
It was like an evil creature had crawled out of the abyss.
The constant swaying figure and the strange cracking sounds raised the terrifying atmosphere to the highest level.
Richard finally saw the existence when the dust gradually subsided.
It was an ancient giant tree that was half buried in the ground. It was 15 meters high just above the ground. No one knew how deep it was buried under the thick trunk.
A twisted face was on this ancient giant tree, which looked particularly frightening in the wrinkled bark.
Seven or eight giant branches that could twist continuously slapped the rocks around them that pressed on the body.
The terrifying strength kept breaking the rocks as if they were trying to escape.
The m.u.f.fled sound just now was not an aftershock, but the movement of the ancient giant tree bombarding the boulders…
The branches grew densely, but there was not a single leaf on them. Each branch was studded with fist-sized gray fruits.
Today’s target, the poisonous wasp was currently flying crazily on the branches.
Richard initially thought that the poisonous wasps had built their lair on this ancient giant tree, but a surprising scene shocked him.
A gray fruit bloomed, and seven or eight poisonous wasps appeared inside. There was a small tube connected to it, like the mother’s umbilical cord.
After the gray fruit bloomed, the wet wasps gradually woke up. They spread their wings to dry their bodies, then broke free of the umbilical cord and flew out.
Richard was shocked by this scene.
“Poisonous wasps… grew on this tree?!”
“What kind of life is that tree? Why is it so weird and terrifying?!”
