The sandworm struggled fiercely and pulled out the metal spear that was nailing its body from the ground.
The metal spear was straight in the middle, but the end of the spear was spread out like the ribs of an umbrella, embedding itself in the flesh and blood.
The metal spear was longer than the sandworm's body, and with the spread out end, the sandworm's body was stuck, preventing it from burrowing into the ground.
When he destroyed the third heart, the sandworm suddenly lowered its head and bit the metal spear that was embedded in its body, pulling it out directly from its flesh and blood.
The barbs that split like the ribs of an umbrella tore apart a large piece of flesh, leaving a huge penetrating wound on the sandworm's huge body. Scarlet blood and green mucus mixed together, gushing out of the sandworm's body like a fountain.
Feeling the danger, the sandworm drilled into the ground crazily regardless of the wound on its body. As long as its heart was still there, it could recover no matter how serious the injury was. Once too many hearts were destroyed, it would be fatal.
The sandworm's body was rolling, and the last red cross that marked its heart was about to sink into the ground. Even if it was in a hurry, it could not stop it from escaping.
Bang!
A muffled gunshot suddenly sounded, and Zhui who was about to jump down from the sandworm's body suddenly felt his hair stand on end as if he felt the fatal danger!
Someone attacked!
Zhui opened his mouth and was about to warn the others, but he saw a bullet wrapped in gray light fly over his head and hit the last red cross on the sandworm's body.
The target of the attack was the sandworm?
Zhui looked at the place where the sandworm was hit in disbelief. The tough skin quickly bulged and then collapsed. In the blink of an eye, it became a bloody hole the size of a head. Deep in the hole, a broken heart could be seen faintly.
One shot broke the sandworm's defense and even its heart exploded!
This power is not bad!
Seeing the sandworm wailing and rushing into the ground, Fang turned his head and looked at the direction where the bullet came from. He saw Qi Yuan putting down the Death Reaper.
"It's him?"
A strange thought appeared in Zhui's mind. Could it be that this phase-1 hunter really injured the sandworm?
The sandworm was about to escape, so Fang had to suppress the thought in his mind and ran in the direction where the sandworm was escaping.
"I implanted a tracker in the sandworm's body. Go after it, don't let it escape!"
Zhui in his Black Wolf form ran on the ground, followed by the jeep and the motorcycle.
Seeing the Wolf's Teeth team chasing after the sandworm, Jia Tao asked in a daze, "What should we do?
Should we go after it? "
Qi Yuan glanced in the direction that the sandworm had fled in and a glint flashed across his eyes.
"Chase after it! The Sandworm is fleeing in the direction of the Insectoid Nest. Let's find a chance to complete the quest!"
Jia Tao chuckled.
"I think so too. It's our luck to meet the Wolf Fang Hunting Team!"
The duo started the wolf wolf wolf wolf and chased after the sandworm
"Those two Hunters have caught up to us."
Xiao Hei suddenly said in Wolf Fang's communication channel.
"There seems to be an insectoid nest up ahead. Should we let them leave?"
"These two have guts, they actually dared to chase after us!"
"The sandworm's escape will definitely alert the insectoids inside. I suggest we let them leave!"
"Let's hope there aren't too many insectoids in the nest. Otherwise, the sandworm hunt might be over."
"Chestnut, say something. Should we chase them away? We'll listen to you this time!"
"I … I … I don't know. I'll … listen to you guys."
"He Peng, slow down. Don't go in front of the leader. Be careful of the sandworm's counterattack."
"Be careful, I'll chase those two reckless guys away. I don't want to be distracted by them during the battle. Their screams before they die will affect my concentration!"
"There's no need!" Bi's voice suddenly interrupted their discussion.
"They're not weak. They might be able to help when the insectoids in the nest come out!"
"Are you serious, leader?
The driver is fine, but the sniper is a Stage 1. How are they going to participate in a battle of this level? "
"If they change the driver, they might be able to help us hold back a few Stage 1 insectoids!"
Compared to the Stage 1 Qi Yuan, they obviously believed in the Stage 2 Jia Tao more.
The abilities of the hunters in the wilderness varied. Most of the hunters in the wilderness were weaker than the insectoids of the same level. This was why the well-equipped and well-coordinated hunting teams did not believe that the hunters in the wilderness could fight against insectoids of a higher level than themselves.
Therefore, other than the hunters with C + Authorization, they would rather act alone than to recruit other hunters.
"Don't underestimate the Stage 1 sniper. He's not weak. He just destroyed a sandworm's heart!"
The tactical channel suddenly fell into a short silence. They did not get close to the battle just now. They only heard the gunshots but did not see Qi Yuan destroying the sandworm's heart. It was hard for them to digest this sudden news.
"He destroyed the sandworm's heart?" Xiao Hei repeated.
The sandworm was not an ordinary third-order creature. Its fat body was enough to withstand most of the damage. Even in their hunting team, only the captain Liao and Luan could cause effective damage to the sandworm.
The others were all Stage 2. If not for their excellent equipment, they would not be able to participate in this battle.
"It's probably a good gun!"
"The gunshots sounded like Death's Reaping. But it would be difficult for Death's Reaping to break the sandworm's defense and destroy its heart."
"Since they are willing to follow us, let them follow us. Maybe they can really help us deal with a few insectoids!"
"I saw a group of Sand Otter corpses on the way. I think there was a Stage 2 Sand Otter leader. Its blood was not coagulated. It should have been killed not long ago."
"Who did it?
Although the Sand Otters have weak defense, their claws and teeth are not easy to deal with. Even I have a hard time dealing with a Stage 2 Sand Otter. I think only Leader and Sister Luan can deal with it easily. "
"I don't know. But I saw their corpses gathered together. Most of the Sand Otters were killed with a knife. It shouldn't be the work of the two guys behind."
"Of course it can't be them. To kill so many Sand Otters with a knife, the person must have the ability of a Stage 2 Combat Field. There are a few of them among the Stage C + Hunters!"
"I think that person has been eaten by the sandworms. I found the burrow of the sandworms beside the pile of Sand Otters' corpses."
"Be careful. The Insectoid Nest is just ahead. There are five Stage 2 insectoids and twenty-one Stage 1 insectoids!"
"There are so many of them. I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with them!"
"Don't be afraid. The sandworms are heavily injured. Leader can hold them back alone. We should be able to deal with these insectoids if we work together!"
"Send a signal to the two Hunters. Ask them to cooperate with us in the battle!"
Soon, the Jeep's tail light flashed a few times.
This was the common communication signal used by Iron Chariots.
"They want us to cooperate with them in the battle!
We will snipe the insectoids from the outside. "Jia Tao understood the signal and explained in a deep voice.
Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
There were dozens of insectoids inside. Although Wolf's Teeth's team worked well together, facing so many insectoids and an injured sandworm, they might not be able to withstand their attacks.
However, since the other party had made the request, Qi Yuan would not approach them rashly. Therefore, he said to Jia Tao, "Don't stop the car.
Circle around the Insectoid Nest. I'll look for an opportunity to shoot and see how powerful Wolf's Teeth Hunt is! "
Jia Tao was slightly relieved when he heard this. Compared to attacking the Insectoid Nest head-on, it was undoubtedly much safer to be a tool.
Roar!
The sandworm's roar startled the insectoids deep in the nest. When Wolf's Teeth Hunt was less than a thousand meters away from the Insectoid Nest, all of the insectoids rushed out of the burrow.
Five Stage 2 insectoids and twenty-one Stage 1 insectoids were like a dark tide that drowned Wolf's Teeth.
To the insectoids in the wilderness, the Insectoid Nest was their home. Even if they were facing a strong enemy, they would rarely abandon their home and run away.
It was the same for the other insectoids and the sandworms.
Facing Wolf's Teeth who were approaching the nest, the sandworm did not run away. It raised its ferocious head from the ground and suddenly swallowed the Black Wolf who was charging at the front.
Zhui and the injured sandworm were fighting each other. Both of them were unleashing their powerful Stage 3 abilities.
Streaks of crimson lightning exploded, leaving charred wounds on the sandworm's body. With the help of the Mechanical Armament, Chi, who had transformed into a black wolf, fought the injured sandworm one-on-one. They were evenly matched.
The other insectoids seemed to have received an order as they went around the Black Wolf and charged at the other members of Wolf's Teeth.
Luan stepped on the brakes, and the motorcycle under her body quickly turned into a half-covered exoskeleton armor, covering her exquisite body. A blue lightning whip extended from her right hand.
"I'll hold back the three Stage 2 insectoids. He Peng, you deal with the other two. Xiao Hei, quickly kill the Stage 1 insectoids. Chestnut, you'll be responsible for protecting Xiao Hei."
Luan ordered and then waved her long lightning whip at the two insectoids that were charging at the front.
He Peng pulled out a silver two-handed sword from the roof of the motorcycle. He moved his powerful Mechanical Leg and charged at the remaining two Stage 2 insectoids.
"These insectoids seem pretty smart!"
Xiao Hei chuckled and quickly activated her tactical glasses to outline the location of the sandworm's remaining heart. She then pulled out two pistols from her waist and started shooting at the insectoids that were charging at her.
Every time he pulled the trigger, a blazing white beam of light shot out from the muzzle.
The white beams accurately hit the insectoids' bodies, leaving deep holes the size of a thumb.
The Stage 1 insectoids fell one after another.
The Stage 1 insectoids could not resist the penetrating energy of the white beams that came from the Mechanical Armament.
However, more Stage 1 insectoids quickly passed through the blockade of the Death Beam and rushed to Xiao Hei's side.
Xiao Hei did not seem to care about the insectoids that were approaching her. He continued to pull the trigger and calmly shoot.
Roar!
The fastest insectoid approached Xiao Hei. It suddenly jumped and opened its mouth with sharp fangs, trying to bite Xiao Hei's throat.
Crack!
The moment the fangs collided, Xiao Hei suddenly turned into a shadow and disappeared from where he was. The insectoid that jumped to attack missed its target and directly jumped over where Xiao Hei was.
The remaining insectoids stopped charging at the same time as if they did not expect their enemy to suddenly disappear. Just as they were about to turn around and attack the other members of Wolf's Teeth's team, a shadow suddenly appeared.
A shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, and Little Hei stepped out of the shadow.
"Hey, I'm here!"
Xiao Hei whistled provocatively and pulled the trigger again. The deadly white beams were shot out again.
The insectoids pounced on Xiao Hei. After three insectoids were killed, the distance between them was shortened again.
Xiao Hei mysteriously disappeared into the shadows again and reappeared more than ten meters away. He then attacked the insectoids that had lost their targets.
After repeating this a few times, almost half of the Stage 1 insectoids were killed. There were only fourteen insectoids left. Xiao Hei stopped being boastful and his expression became serious. He noticed that Chestnut's breathing had become heavy.
Although the Stage 2 Shadow Jump was very useful, it consumed a lot of energy to carry someone through the shadows. Chestnut had carried someone through the shadows so many times that it had exceeded his limit.
However, Zhui was still entangled with the sandworms and could not get away. Luan and He Peng were also held back by the Stage 2 insectoids and could not help them.
"Chestnut, can you still hold on?" Xiao Hei asked.
"I can still hold on for two more times!" Chestnut gritted his teeth and answered.
Two more times. At most, I can kill six Stage 1 insectoids. There will be eight left!
I still have the Stage 1 speed. I should be able to hold on!
Xiao Hei looked at the insectoids that were charging at him with a serious expression. He did not call for help.
If he called for help now, he would only drag his teammates down and put them in danger!
"Xiao Hei, be careful!
A Stage 2 Bladed Beast is charging at you! "Luan's roar came from afar.
Xiao Hei turned around and saw a pitch-black insectoid with two blade-like arms charging at him!
F * ck!
Another one, and it's a Stage 2 one!
How can I hold on!
Xiao Hei groaned inwardly.
Looking at the chaotic battle, Jia Tao who was pacing around suddenly said, "Are you still not going to help?
They seem to be in danger! "
"It's not that simple." Qi Yuan shook his head.
"Are those two newbies?"
"Yes, they are." Jia Tao nodded.
"Half a year ago, Wolf's Teeth Hunt encountered a Stage 4 Elite insectoid during a hunt and lost three members. These two newbies were recruited into Wolf's Teeth Hunt three months ago."
"The one with the tactical glasses is called Xiao Hei. The two guns are mechanical equipment left behind by the previous member who died. The one with the ability to control shadows is called Chestnut. He was not assigned a mechanical equipment, but his ability is very strong. He is somewhat similar to a shadow lizard."
"These two newbies are slightly weak. The other three are quite strong. Tell me more about them."
Jia Tao did not doubt him and told him everything he knew in detail.
"The one fighting with the sandworms is the captain of Wolf's Teeth, Chi. He is a genetic warrior and his main ability is to transform into a Stage 3 Giant Wolf. As you can see, look at the metal ring on his right forelimb. It's a close-combat mechanical equipment — Scarlet Lightning."
"The woman is called Luan. She is a Stage 3 Mechanic. Her main combat ability is the multi-purpose mechanical equipment in her hands. It is the Steel Rose II produced by Black Steel Shelter."
"The last one with the two-handed greatsword is called He Peng. He was originally a Stage 3 Combat Domain Ability User. Later, his legs were bitten off by an insectoid and he had no choice but to replace them with a pair of mechanical artificial legs. I heard that it is also a mechanical equipment."
At this point, Jia Tao suddenly paused.
"You don't even know them. How can you tell that Xiao Hei and Chestnut are newbies?"
