The strange movements in the soil did not attract the attention of those who were caught up in the carnival.
Under the watchful eyes of Ning Qingyan, mother and son, the scope of the abnormal movement became wider and wider, even heading towards the feet of those people.
"What?" The ups and downs under the feet finally aroused some people's thoughts.
However, even after he reminded me, he still wasn't taken seriously.
"What are you yelling for? What a huge harvest tonight! These orcs are usually very difficult to deal with, but they killed so many this time. Not to mention anything else, even their skins and bones can sell a lot of spiritual stones!
"
People around him didn't take it seriously and were still immersed in the joy of "getting rich".
The person who reminded him aloud stamped his feet suspiciously and found that the ground was flat and there was nothing strange about it. The feeling just now seemed to be just an illusion and he relaxed.
However, just as he relaxed, he heard someone not far away making a sharp cry, "Ah——!"
The voice was so shrill and sharp that the cheering people all fell silent, their hearts skipped a beat, and they looked at him one by one.
Then, they saw a horrifying scene.
The person who made the shrill scream was pulled into the soil before he could say another word.
"Ah——!" A more shrill cry came from the soil.
Before anyone could react, they saw a pillar of blood spurting out from the soil he had sunk into.
The blood spurted out by the blood column fell into the soil, and beneath the soil, it became quiet again.
Such a sudden change made everyone who was still celebrating the harvest feel scared. They cautiously clenched their weapons and dispersed.
At this moment, the snake-like bulges on the ground began to increase in number and at extremely fast speeds. They no longer made cautious and tentative sneak attacks like before, but instead ran rampantly through the soil. Wherever they passed, there were no traces.
Several people were knocked to the ground by the force coming from the soil.
"ah!"
"Ahhhh——!"
In a moment, several more people were pulled into the soil and screamed.
"Underground!"
"That thing is hidden underground, dig it out!"
In panic, everyone dispersed further and further, and the weapons in their hands were pointed at the soil beneath their feet.
"roar--!"
At this moment, the soil beneath the crowd suddenly exploded, and a figure sprang out from it, becoming more than a foot tall in an instant.
The ferocious beast head and blood-red eyes stared at those people and let out a terrifying roar.
"A strange beast! This is a strange beast!"
After seeing the monster's appearance clearly, someone called out with a trembling voice.
"Roar——!" The strange beast roared, bared its teeth, and flashed, swooping down like a snake, biting a person in one bite, and its sharp teeth instantly bit the person in its mouth from the waist.
"The head of a beast with the body of a snake is called a harp insect." Ning Qingyan looked at the strange beast that attacked humans and murmured in a low voice.
Another alien beast that has long been extinct...and it is no longer in its infancy, but in its mature stage.
With Ning Qingyan's eyesight, she could easily tell that the strength of this piano insect was approximately equivalent to that of a human in the late Nascent Soul stage.
Coupled with the orcs' unique magical powers and defense, even if she faced her, she would probably have to go through a hard fight to win.
And the following group of people...
Those with the highest level of cultivation are only in the late stage of Jindan. No matter how many people there are, they are just adding food to the piano insects.
"Qin worm?" Zangzang looked at the strange beast with a beast head and hair but a snake body. He also found records about zither worms in the vast collection of books in Hongmeng Daozang.
"In the wilderness, there is a mountain called Buxian, and there are insects with animal heads and snake bodies, called Qin Chong." Zangzang's little face turned pale.
It is said in the records that the harp insect is a murderer, murderous by nature, and will go crazy when seeing blood.
He looked at the crazy Qin Zhong below, as well as the human race who had no power to fight back, and his fleshy body trembled.
"The magical power of the piano insect will be stimulated by the blood, and its strength will increase several times, and even its defense will become stronger." Ning Qingyan said softly.
The piano insect in front of him became stronger after killing several people.
Zang Zang pursed his lips tightly and looked at the chaotic killing below with his big eyes, and his small hands ruffled Ning Qingyan's clothes.
"It was their previous killings. The blood of the beasts soaked into the soil and stimulated the harp insect sleeping under the soil, causing it to go crazy." Ning Qingyan explained the cause and effect.
"Aniang, will you save them?" Zangzang asked in a low voice.
"No." Ning Qingyan answered without any hesitation.
Since she did not stop their night hunt just now, she has no position to save these people now.
All of this is due to their crazy hunting, and the consequences are no different for anyone else.
"Let's go." Ning Qingyan glanced at him lightly and fled far away with Zangzang.
When they left, Qin Zhong, who was immersed in the killing, suddenly turned his head, and the ferocious animal head looked towards the direction Ning Qingyan left.
…
After walking very far and no longer hearing the sound of killing or smelling the disgusting smell of blood, Zangzang asked: "Will the piano insect continue to kill people?"
Ning Qingyan turned to look at him and smiled: "You don't have any records there?"
Zangzang's face turned red.
He is now a human race and is slowly getting used to living in a human race way.
The answer must be in the Hongmeng Taoist Canon, but Zangzang didn't want to look for it, so facing Ning Qingyan's eyes, he shook his head confidently, "No."
A smile appeared in Ning Qingyan's eyes, and she told him without entangled with him: "It is recorded in ancient books that the piano insect will go crazy when it sees blood, but it will calm down after killing all those who disturb it.
, continue to be hidden in the soil.”
After saying that, she added, "If someone is fast enough and can escape, maybe he can save his life."
The mother and son left the night hunting ground far away.
It wasn't until dawn that they felt that some of the bloody smell on their bodies had faded away.
"Why have so many legendary extinct beasts appeared?" Zangzang couldn't help but ask.
Ning Qingyan looked into the distance, "Yes, why?" If this continues, what will happen in the mysterious world?
