Chapter 488: Chapter 417, Scavenging Centipede Beast_2
If anyone gets injured, they will become infected and turn into a corrupted monster.
This was more like a subplot from a biochemical crisis, with the number of monsters only increasing as the battle progressed.
It eventually turned into an endless, unbeatable war.
Fang Hao, however, led an undead army.
Even if both sides clashed, their bones would not become corrupted monsters.
As a result, many concerns were put to rest.
At the end of the battle, the corrupted monsters would turn into rotten ash after death.
They left no corpse behind but dropped many rare resources.
Death Trace, Shadowstones, and Essence of Magic were in great abundance.
The value of these rare resources far exceeded most of the war spoils.
It could be considered a huge gain from this battle.
“Move forward, clean up the battlefield along the way, and be careful of enemies,” Fang Hao commanded.
The army continued to advance.
Shield warriors, with iron shields in hand, stepped directly over the battlefield.
And the soldiers behind began to collect the war spoils scattered all over the ground, including arrows.
The team continued to move forward, encountering several waves of attacks by corrupted monsters.
They were repelled one after the other.
At 4 p.m., a collapsed stone tower appeared in front of the army.
The tower was cut off at waist height, the upper part of it had fallen to the side, with most of it buried in the soil.
The stone tower was severely weathered and extremely dilapidated.
The sudden appearance of a tower here made people somewhat curious.
“Sir, there have been no corrupted monsters in this area. There might be threats inside the stone tower,” Black Sword walked over from the front and said to Fang Hao.
This was indeed a thing of concern.
Corrupted monsters had appeared along the way, but none had appeared near this place. It was very likely that more powerful enemies nearby had already killed the living creatures before they could transform into corrupted monsters and had cleared out their bodies.
As a result, there were no corrupted monsters crawling out of this plot of land.
“Alright, arrange for some people to go check it out,” Fang Hao continued.
“Yes, sir.”
Black Sword agreed and then immediately went to prepare.
Soon, two Skeleton Warriors came straight out of the team and approached the stone tower.
The Skeleton Warriors approached with their metal iron boots clanging on the hard stone steps.
Just as they approached the hollowed arch of the stone tower.
The entire architecture of the stone tower trembled violently.
Shashing!!
The rustling sound rose, as if numerous tentacles were rapidly climbing, making one’s hairs stand on end.
Black Sword issued a retreat command.
Just as the two Skeleton Warriors turned around, from the broken top of the stone tower lunged a giant, dark-red centipede. It opened its huge mouth and swallowed the two Skeleton Warriors, chewing their bones and swallowing them into its stomach.
[Carrion Centipede (Tenth Order)]
The centipede was over ten meters long, its body covered in dark-red scales, the underside a dense array of tiny legs, coiled around the stone tower.
On the edge of the centipede’s huge mouth, sharp teeth shaped like saw teeth were full, chewing on broken bones and staring at the undead army that appeared below.
For a while, both sides were dumbfounded, with neither side taking the initiative to attack first.
Fang Hao widened his eyes, somewhat surprised at the centipede in front of him.
Looking at its name, Carrion Centipede, it should have been the one that ate all the corrupted monsters nearby.
That’s why no corrupted monsters appeared near the stone tower.
Looking at it from above, its bug-like round eyes observing the undead army, it can be seen that this centipede possesses a certain level of intelligence.
Fang Hao observed it, but the next second, the Carrion Centipede slithered down from the stone tower and charged straight at them.
Looking at its saw-toothed teeth constantly writhing and its speed of attack, it obviously wasn’t here to negotiate.
Fang Hao directly ordered, “Attack!”
Clash!!
All the skeleton soldiers drew their weapons, and in the right hand of the first row of skeleton warriors, the spear of thunder and lightning appeared.
Just as they were about to throw it at the target, they saw the Carrion Centipede plunge its head down.
Its whole body drilled straight into the ground.
The ground began to bulge rapidly, quickly getting closer.
“Be careful with the ground,” Fang Hao roared.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the continuously bulging dirt mounds had already reached under his carriage.
Without any hesitation, he spread his bat wings and flew straight up into the air.
Just as he took off.
Beneath the carriage, the Corruption Centipede broke through the ground, standing straight up, swallowing the carriage along with the Bone Horse into its stomach.
Surrounded by skeleton warriors, a dense barrage of arrows shot at the emerging centipede.
Ding Ding Ding!!
The arrows hit the centipede’s scale armor, making a clashing noise.
The centipede, seeing more and more people gathering around, plunged its head back into the ground.
Dirt mounds kept spinning under the army’s feet.
Causing chaos among the troops.
Fang Hao was fluttering his bat wings, hovering in mid-air.
He was somewhat surprised that the carrion centipede attacked him first.
It seemed that it had heard him giving commands and decided to kill him first.
It was rather intelligent.
A tenth-order mutant monster with high intelligence indeed posed some challenge.
However, there was only one such monster, and it posed no real threat to them.
He flew down again, behind the army, and gave out a few more orders.
Nisbit and the Bone Dragon, following the army, began to approach the central area.
Standing in the middle of the troops, waiting for the centipede’s next attack.
Soon, the carrion centipede, constantly moving underground, found another opportunity to attack.
