"Pfft--" The monster caught by the earth spirit's giant hand was shaken by the pressure of the big toad, and it immediately spat out a blood arrow. At this time, the opponent's face showed a look of horror, and he did not dare to continue screaming.
At this moment, Tu Gong Toad said: "Master Guan, this guy looks a bit like the 'earth-burrowing arrowhead bug' that is commonly seen in the soil of ruins."
"Arrow worm? It does look a bit like it, but ordinary worms are not as huge as it." Guan Heng said: "What's more, this guy has the ability to control earth aura. It seems to be a mutated species."
"Then let's interrogate it properly." The Tu Gong Toad looked at Guan Heng at this moment, with sneers on their faces, "Pah!" The next moment, the Tu Ling's giant hand slammed the mutated arrowhead bug into the ground.
Oh, this guy whined and almost spurted blood again.
Guan Hengdao: "How about it, do you know how powerful it is? Obediently explain your purpose and why you want to sneak attack us. Otherwise, if you offend me, I will kill you!"
"Don't, don't, spare your life." After hearing this, the Arrowhead Cockroach screamed: "I was also forced, it was 'that guy' who forced me to attack you!"
"That guy?" Guan Heng frowned slightly and then asked, "Who are you talking about?"
"It's the 'Bent-Horned Loach' that lives deep in the mud of this ancient pond. Because this guy has learned some supernatural powers that can absorb evil spirits, he captured all my companions and forced us to help him do evil."
"Horned loach?" After hearing this, Guan Heng thought for a while and then asked: "What does this guy you are talking about have to do with the yellow-skinned loach?"
The reason why I ask this is because when Guan Heng and the others pass through various areas of the ruins, they often see yellow-skinned loaches in the mud swamps. They are a small aquatic species only about a foot long. They have no strength and have been reduced to various types.
A common food for powerful water beasts.
"The curved-horned loach is an evolutionary mutation of the ordinary yellow-skinned loach."
Arrow Bug explained: "I heard that guy used to live near the Ancient Willow Tomb Mountain. Later, he didn't know how to absorb the corpse energy near the tomb mountain to make himself stronger. He also bullied the weak and harmed other living beings. We are
One of the victims."
"Humph, I'm not sure whether you were forced or not. There is no basis for your words." Guan Heng sneered slightly, and then said: "Tell me where the bent-horned loach is. I will go find it myself to confirm. If this
This guy is really as bad as you said, so I can just kill him."
"By the way, there is one more thing I want to ask you." As he said that, Guan Heng pointed to the fruit trees on the ground around the ancient pond and asked, "Why did these fruit trees wither at the bottom of the ancient pond?"
"This, this is also the fault of the horned loach, it's none of my business."
Upon hearing Guan Heng's question, the Arrowhead Borer trembled with fright, and its body was like sieving chaff. It screamed: "It was the curved-horned loach that used its power to control the earth's aura to extract the nutrients from these fruit trees and cause them to wither.
Me, I just have a little bit of spiritual energy."
Hearing this, Tu Gongchan sneered: "Humph, so you are an accomplice?"
"I...this..." After hearing the words of the big toad, the arrowhead wanted to distinguish between two sentences, but was swept away by the other party's fierce eyes and immediately swallowed the words back. Guan Heng said: "Then why is this guy here?
Is there a fruit tree left on the bank of the ancient pond?"
"It, it said that it wants to use this tree to attract other creatures to come closer. As long as the breath of Gutang Zuiguo confuses them and makes them comatose, the loaches can kill and devour them."
"Hmph, as expected, this guy had his plan all right, but it's a pity that he met me." Guan Heng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, with a sneer on his face, and then he glanced at the arrowhead: "Where can I
Find that guy from the Cornucopia?"
"It, it's hiding deep in the mud not far away. I don't know exactly where it is."
At this point, it was afraid that Guan Heng and Tu Gong Toad wouldn't believe it, so it hurriedly explained: "The bent-horned loach likes to drill around in the mud and is never willing to stop for a moment, so it is difficult to judge the specific location of this guy.
.”
"Oh, that's it." Hearing this, Guan Heng snorted noncommittally. At this moment, the Tugong Toad whispered: "Master Guan, my Tugong Toad has sent back the message, and it seems that it has been found.
It’s the scent of something left in the mud.”
"Humph, I guess it's the scent of this bent-horned loach. Take me to have a look. Hey, come here too." Hearing Guan Heng's words, the Arrowhead Cockroach had no choice but to tremble and follow it and the big dog.
Beside Toad, he hurried forward.
…
"Poof!"
On the other side, the curved-horned loach was catching prey in the mud. A huge soil spider was suddenly wrapped up in its body. With a little force, the unlucky guy was twisted into a twist by the thick loach's body. The opponent died tragically with a cry.
The remains of the corpse were also devoured whole by the horned loach in an instant.
"It's not enough. Just this little blood food can't satisfy me at all."
Gritting his teeth and mumbling, the Bent-horned Loach looked at the several scars on his body that were deep enough to show the bones, and murmured to himself: "If you don't recover from your injuries quickly, how can you go to Ancient Willow Tomb Mountain to seek revenge on that damn midge demon?
It hurt me so badly, I must take revenge!"
"I have to find more prey!" Bent-horned Loach said in his heart: "If I don't eat enough, my injuries won't heal. What's more, I still need the flesh and blood essence of those guys to refine their corpse energy and increase my strength."
Having made up its mind, the bent-horned loach wanted to drill into the mud again to catch other prey. Although the surface of the ancient pond mud did not look big, in fact, the farther you went to the bottom area, the wider it became, and there were many underground insects and beasts.
The smell here is also the reason why the loach chose this place as its base and habitat.
However, there are also many powerful and terrifying ferocious beasts and insects living in the deep areas of the ancient pond. Even the curved-horned loach does not dare to provoke them easily, so it knows what it knows and can only move around within a certain area.
Go away to avoid provoking those beings you can't afford to offend.
"Gu Gu Gu, Gu Gu Gu... Gu Gu Gu..."
Suddenly, not far ahead, there were bursts of toad chirping, and a fat toad crawled and jumped between the cracks in the mud. This guy was so fat that the loach drooled at the sight: "It's so fat, I must do it."
Catch this guy to satisfy your craving!"
"Miscellaneous!" He said it late, but then he said it quickly. The curved-horned loach scurried quickly, suddenly plunged into a large piece of mud, and chased after the fat toad.
To be honest, it is not easy to find prey in the mud, but the big fat toad actually exudes a strong earth spirit atmosphere. Even though it jumps and jumps and is extremely agile, it still cannot escape the pursuit of the loach. No matter whether the two sides are in front or behind,
Always stay several feet away.
The bent-horned loach was very puzzled: "Damn it, I tried my best, why can't I catch it?"
