Just imagine if she had plunged into this fog without knowing this information beforehand.
If you enter the enemy's attack range and the poison is activated, then...
She is doomed to die!
No matter how agile you are, it's impossible to evade this kind of undetectable poison!
"I should be fine, right?" Layton scratched his head and smiled.
Having withstood so many attacks along the way, he had gained a general understanding of the intensity of various negative status effects.
A poison of this strength would only paralyze him for two or three seconds at most, and the opponent might not be able to finish him off in that short time.
"Don't be careless. The poison will accumulate in your body. The more poisonous fog you inhale, the greater the impact," Elder Centipede warned.
An Yi looked around; the sounds of fighting had ceased...
He seemed to understand something.
"I see……"
That's the other party's purpose in stalling for time.
The air in the demon realm contains a certain concentration of magic, but at this concentration, the magic in the poisonous fog is not obvious.
Moreover, summoning the mist itself contains a certain amount of magic, which further lowers the demons' guard.
It is likely that, unbeknownst to the demons, a massacre hidden in the fog has already quietly begun.
They were not heroes, and the forty members of the Holy Four Maidens Squad could not sense any magic power, so at this time they did not even know how many demons had died.
Are they all dead? Half of them killed? Or haven't they even started yet? We don't know any of this.
However, what is certain is that the other side must have a way to slaughter all the demons in the poisonous fog.
"Shh shh shh shh—"
Suddenly, rustling sounds came from the ground in all directions.
"Disperse!" Elder Centipede shouted, and the surrounding poisonous mist was dispersed even further.
Lycorina also enhanced the golden light on her staff, and the four of them stared in four different directions, becoming alert.
The next moment, a scene unfolded that turned Lycorina, Miluko, and Layton pale—
The rustling ground began to undulate, as if an undercurrent was surging beneath the fallen leaves of the rainforest.
In the blink of an eye, countless centipedes emerged from the soil, crawling out from the damp crevices under rotten leaves, tree roots, and decaying wood, their black and red bodies spreading rapidly across the ground.
They huddled together densely, countless tiny claws scraping against the decaying leaves and damp soil, one after another overlapping and crawling, converging from all directions to form a thick carpet of insects, surging towards the location of the Saintess Squad and the Centipede Elder like a tide!
"Eaaah——!!"
"Ugh... I'm going to vomit!!"
The two women were so frightened by the sight that their minds went blank. Even the usually brave Layton trembled. The sight of countless insects swarming towards him was too mentally disturbing!
“腫≡｀ZHuaNqUN：∈～＞九零√＊柒捌■⌒零开盾!” An Yi twisted Lycorina’s waist!
"Aaaaaah! I'll drive! I'll drive!!"
Lycorina quickly slammed her staff down, and a semi-circular light shield enveloped the four people and the demon.
Immediately afterwards, countless centipedes rushed directly onto the light shield, and everywhere you looked there were densely packed insects!
"It's even more disgusting!!" Lycorina screamed through her tears.
Chapter 246 You released those bugs?
"You you you you you you you—" Lycorina stared intently at the centipede elder beside her, but her trembling lips could not utter a single complete sentence.
Miluko's vision went black as she leaned against An Yi, perhaps subconsciously thinking that An Yi would never let her fall to the ground.
An Yi grabbed her head and lifted her up.
Layton yelled at the centipede elder, "Aren't you one of its kind?! Do something!"
"I'm afraid... this is a kind of magic called swarm summoning."
"Occupying this land isn't just about having enough to eat; it also means you can rightfully control the insects in this territory," Elder Centipede analyzed from the side.
"What do we do?!" Layton shouted.
"In short, everyone, please calm down. As you can see, the swarm of insects is just an insect; they do not have the ability to break through the magic shield."
only……
"If we can't activate the magic shield in time, we'll be in big trouble," Elder Centipede said.
An Yi put his hands on Miluko's shoulders and helped her sit up. Although she showed no signs of waking up, he still spoke softly.
"You're right, we should stay calm."
The three members of the Saintess Squad are all battle-hardened warriors, but...
Faced with such a visually and emotionally impactful scene, they still became somewhat flustered.
An Yi didn't blame them, because it was the first time they had encountered such a situation.
Especially the two girls, who probably don't like insects to begin with, it's understandable that they fainted from fright when they saw so many. *Hiss*
Moreover...
This is inherently a form of mental pollution magic, naturally inducing negative effects such as fear.
Even in games, it's used to annoy people. Zero
To date, the Saintess Squad has rarely encountered similar "psychological attacks."
Because the battles have always taken place in relatively normal demon cities, and most of the demons in the rainforest are only physically strong.
In situations like this, it's just a good opportunity for the three members of the Saintess Squad to experience this kind of "mental attack," so that they can deal with it more calmly next time.
“If you’re scared, close your eyes, but don’t stop thinking. Think about how to get through this,” Annie said.
Lycorina was taken aback.
Yes! Quickly close your eyes!
Her mind was almost blank; she did whatever An Yi told her to do.
Everything happened very quickly, in fact, it only lasted for a dozen seconds of panic before she came to her senses.
Only after An Yi spoke did she realize what was happening;
So I immediately closed my eyes, trying to calm myself down first.
"Don't be afraid...don't be afraid...it's just a bug, there's nothing to be afraid of!"
She gripped the staff tightly with both hands, adjusting the rhythm of her breathing.
Layton also closed his eyes, thinking almost the same thing as Lycorina.
Yes, there's nothing to be afraid of; they're just bugs.
If these insects were that capable, they would have already gnawed through the magic shield and poured in.
These insects may not be ordinary insects, but that's relative to humans or low-level demons.
They are already level 280 warriors, so why should they be afraid of these weak crawlers?
Every unknown situation can temper their spirit. The more times they encounter it, the less they will panic no matter what happens in the future!
That's it...
Even though the two people with their eyes closed had figured it out, they didn't want to open them to see the dense swarm of insects.
As for Miluko, all I can say is sweet dreams to her.
Once she comes to her senses, she will definitely reflect on her actions.
Of course, despite saying that, An Yi still stuffed a pill to relieve fainting into Milu's mouth and used the slime sword to shove it directly down her throat so she would swallow it.
Immediately afterward, Miluko's shoulders trembled, and she woke up again, only her eyes were covered by An Yi.
Wu prevented her from fainting again when she saw the countless insects in front of her.
"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!!" Milu cried out in self-reproach.
This is a battlefield!
How could you faint on the battlefield?!
What if I fainted from being scared by a bug and a fight breaks out?!
"I'm afraid the other demons are also in grave danger," Elder Centipede suddenly said.
The demons who didn't have time to deploy their shields must have been torn to shreds by countless centipedes, right?
"Anyi! Burn all these bugs!" Lycorina finally gave the order.
An Yi nodded with satisfaction;
Because Lycorina has already made her judgment.
Let Annie deal with the insect infestation.
It seems she didn't do anything, she just shouted.
However, in battle, it is also very important to remain calm and direct the next move.
Just like when Lycorina was in a panic, An Yi made her deploy a light shield.
Staying calm and then giving urgent instructions will allow other teammates who are also panicking to react instinctively.
No one can guarantee that unexpected situations will not arise during the battle to defeat the demons, and no one can guarantee that everything will go according to plan.
If an unexpected situation arises, it is imperative to calmly make judgments, assess the situation, and command the battle.
Annie: "No need for that."
As he spoke, he grabbed a handful of meatballs from his pouch, rubbed them in his hands a couple of times, and picked out one.
Then, pinch it between your fingers and ignite it with magic—
"Boom."
A small flame rose, the pill in his hand was ignited, and white smoke began to spread rapidly around, soon drifting into the swarm of insects above the light shield.
