As a matter of fact, they were in huge trouble.
When the large swarm of insects flew over, everyone finally discovered their true form. They were countless flies the size of a palm!
Their compound eyes flickered in a mysterious glint.
Squirming tentacles could be seen under their huge black abdomen.
The constant flapping of its wings produced a buzzing sound. Just listening to it was enough to make people dizzy.
Were those flies that big?
Looking at the flies, everyone couldn't help but shiver. Even Jenny curled the corners of her mouth.
No matter who it was, no one would have a good impression of so many enlarged, ugly insects where even the fluff on their legs could be clearly seen.
Not to mention, the way these flies trembled and drooled was even more disgusting. It seemed that they had already regarded Jenny's group as delicious delicacies, and couldn't wait to lay eggs on their rotten corpses and start a feast.
Without any hesitation, everyone took action immediately.
The naga priestess raised her scepter and yelled. Along with her call, an azure, circular barrier emerged and enveloped everyone.
The midget mage also temporarily gave up on the idea of bombarding the mutated creatures on the ground. Instead, she turned around, raised the staff in her hand, and swung it forward.
Then, a green, cone-shaped beam of light whizzed and shot at the swarm of insects.
The huge insects that were illuminated by the green beam of light immediately disintegrated, turning into a pile of dust and vanishing in the air.
The power of the disintegrate spell was fully displayed at that moment, opening a huge gap in the swarm of insects. But it was a pity that in the blink of an eye, the gap became much smaller.
Layers of huge flies quickly filled the gap and continued to advance as though they didn't care about the losses just now. Well, they didn't care at all.
Even Jenny took action at that moment. She raised her right hand and pulled the bowstring to its fullest.
Shortly after, the patterns on the surface of the silver-white longbow began to flow rapidly, transforming into an incomparably beautiful star chart.
Specks of starlight shone one after another. Then, three pure white light arrows appeared between Jenny's fingers.
She released the bowstring and flew toward the swarm of insects.
The arrows that flew into the swarm bloomed like fireworks, emitting a dazzling light that was comparable to a flash bomb in an instant.
In this dazzling light, the swarm of insects were like black dots painted by white paint, completely disappearing in this dazzling light.
When everyone opened their eyes again under the bright light, the swarm of insects that covered the sky had almost disappeared.
"Well done!"
Looking at this scene, the barbarian warrior let out a long sigh of relief and gave Jenny a thumbs up.
Even the gnome mage nodded at Jenny.
Obviously, this powerful attack had eliminated their current hidden danger. However, for these besieged adventurers, the trouble was far from over.
When the light dissipated, the corpses of the mutant creatures could be seen everywhere.
But this didn't make them disappear completely. If they were ordinary beasts, they would have fled with their tails between their legs after suffering such heavy casualties.
However, no matter how he looked at it, these things didn't seem to be "ordinary" at all.
They continued to attack their targets frantically. Even though their attacks were in vain most of the time, this didn't stop the mutant creatures.
However, this didn't stop the mutated creatures. As for the corpses that were killed, they didn't even form any obstacles.
This was because they had already been eaten clean as food for other mutant creatures.
A reindeer opened its mouth and tore off the carcass of a mutant wild boar as if it were a tender leaf on a branch. Then, it chewed and swallowed the meat along with the bones into its stomach.
Then, the already terrifying mutated monster began to tremble uncontrollably. In just a few moments, a series of small flames erupted from its body. Then, the fur on the surface of its body began to melt rapidly, turning into some kind of stinky, disgusting, viscous liquid that enveloped the entire deer.
In the blink of an eye, the reindeer solidified into a strange statue.
But this was only the beginning.
In just a few seconds, the 'statue' formed by the reindeer trembled violently.
The skin on its back split open abruptly and a brand new reindeer emerged like a chrysalis transforming into a butterfly. At this moment, its form had changed once again. Its tiny head had grown to the size of a crocodile and the horns on its head had turned into soft tentacles.
Even its four limbs had changed shape, turning into flat claws like a gecko.
In addition to its erect, scorpion-like tail, it was impossible to imagine that this monster was actually a herbivore.
"What the hell is this damned thing?"
Looking at this scene, not only did the barbarian warrior scream, but the Naga Priest and the Dwarf Mage were also dumbfounded.
As powerful beings in their respective fields, they couldn't be considered to have seen many things, but they could also be considered knowledgeable.
However, they had never heard of an undead creature that could mutate and evolve after eating its own kind … Come to think of it, was this thing considered an undead creature?
"I don't have the Wood to Iron spell anymore!"
At that moment, Orfin's sobbing voice rang out. As if to verify her words, one of the four large trees that served as support suddenly snapped with a loud crack.
"Gaah … Gaah …!"
As the saying went, blessings never come in pairs, and misfortunes never come singly.
Shortly after, another ominous cry sounded from the horizon.
When everyone looked up, they saw a dark, dense cloud. Well, at least this time, they knew what it was.
From a certain perspective, crows were indeed a better choice than flies.
But in fact, it wasn't any better.
"We have to think of a way!
If this continues, we won't be able to hold on for long! "
The Dwarf Mage waved the staff in his hand, drenched in sweat.
His automaton was still slaughtering everything below.
However, it was useless.
This was because the number of mutated creatures far exceeded the automaton's limit. Moreover, as an automaton, it had limited energy. Once it ran out of energy, it would turn into a pile of trash.
At this moment, the automaton had even given up on burning a large area of barbecued meat. Instead, it used two energy light swords to protect the large tree beneath them. After all, this was their current foothold.
"Sir Windwalker …"
At this time, Orfen also turned her head to look at Jenny. In her heart, she was afraid that Jenny was the only one who could get her out of here.
Of course, Olfen also knew that this was only a dream. After all, there were so many creatures here and it seemed as though they were endless.
Perhaps even Sir Windwalker couldn't do anything about it.
But to Olfen's surprise, Jenny wasn't as nervous as she imagined. On the contrary, she gazed into the distance, sighed, and said.
"We can't beat them. Get ready to run."
Run?
How?
Upon hearing Jenny's words, the other three felt a strange sense of absurdity.
They didn't have much strength left. As spell casters, it wasn't impossible for them to cast teleportation spells to escape.
But now that the forest was filled with Undead Creatures, even if he cast a teleportation spell, it would only be a waste of energy. He might even be sent straight to their doorstep like a meal.
But before they could speak, they saw Jenny snap her fingers gently. In the next moment, the empty void around her suddenly began to fluctuate, and the Astral Unicorn emerged from it.
What's that?!
Everyone was stupefied. They felt that today was an eye-opener. Not only did they see an Undead Creature that didn't look like an Undead Creature, but they also saw a unicorn that didn't look like a unicorn at all … Come to think of it, was that really a unicorn?
But Jenny wasn't in the mood to answer their questions. She gestured to the Astral Unicorn.
Shortly after, the Astral Unicorn lowered its head, kicked its hooves on the tree branches, and raised its head to let out a neigh.
Then, an azure door of light opened in front of them, revealing the darkness and dazzling starlight within.
"It's the Astral Plane!"
Fortunately, the two Spell Casters present were not rookies, and they could tell at a glance where the portal was connected to.
Jenny nodded at them, turned around, and led Olfen into the stargate.
Looking at this scene, the other three exchanged looks and rushed in without hesitation. There were more and more mutated creatures below, and the crows in the sky were getting closer.
Although the Astral Plane wasn't a good place to rest, it was a good choice compared to becoming a monster's meal.
The Naga Priestess was the first to enter the Stargate, followed by the Barbarian Warrior who was holding onto the Gnome Mage. Before entering the Stargate, the Gnome Mage did not forget to wave his staff, and the golem that was showing off its power immediately shrank and disappeared.
After everyone entered the stargate, the Astral Unicorn circled around the teleportation door formed by the starlight, before turning into light dust and vanishing into thin air.
At that moment, the towering ancient tree that was used as a shelter finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground.
