Above the mage!

Chapter 99 Second Ring Earth Vein Creatures
The peaceful days of "killing monsters and leveling up" did not last forever.

After dinner, the camp had gradually quieted down, but suddenly there was a burst of commotion.

Gao De felt something and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

In a corner of the camp, a huge worm suddenly emerged from the ground, leaving a large hole in its place as if it had been hit by a meteorite.

The worm is more than ten meters tall and nearly one meter in diameter. Its size alone gives people a feeling of suffocation and oppression.

Its huge body is covered with dark purple keratin armor.

The worm's huge mouth with sharp teeth is as wide as a human's height.

At this moment, an unlucky city guard was bitten by it.

With a gurgling sound and without any chewing, the city guard in leather armor was swallowed by the giant worm.

A living person just disappeared like that.

"They don't even peel them. Aren't you afraid of choking to death?" Gao De, who witnessed this scene, had his pupils shrink suddenly.

His steps had subconsciously moved in the direction away from the worm.

Even if Gao De was ignorant, he could tell that this giant worm was definitely not a 0-ring earth vein creature, but should be a 1-ring earth vein creature, or even a 2-ring earth vein creature!
A being of this level was not something that a mage apprentice like him should even look at.

Apparently, one guard wasn't enough to satisfy the purple worm.

It moved again, lowering its head and biting another guard who had no time to run away.

A nearby mage apprentice cast a spell to save people.

After the magic power fluctuated, a whip-like lightning energy struck over.

Pop!

The seemingly fierce lightning beam fell on the giant worm's body covered with keratin armor, and it disappeared without causing any ripples, as if it had hit an insulator.

More than just lightning.

Fire, acid, poison gas.
Many wizard apprentices nearby cast spells, but no matter what spell it was, when it landed on the giant worm's body, it was like a drop of water falling into the desert. There was no trace of its existence at all.

"It's a 2nd ring earth vein creature, the purple worm. Everyone, scatter!"

An official 1st-ring mage shouted loudly upon seeing this, fearing that someone would still want to attack the purple worms without knowing the consequences and cause unnecessary casualties.

2nd level earth creatures, only 2nd level mages can deal with them.

Even these first-level mages can only provide some meager assistance at best.

As for the mage apprentice, not only can he not pose any threat to the purple worm, he may even be a hindrance.

As soon as they heard the words "2nd ring earth vein creature", no one present had the courage to stay. The crowd suddenly panicked and everyone started to flee in all directions.

During this short period of time, the purple worm had successfully taken advantage of the situation and swallowed five people in a row, including four guards and an unlucky wizard apprentice.

It was not until then that Versa, the only 2nd ring mage in the army, finally arrived.

She was extremely fast, and each step could cover a distance of four or five meters.

This speed has exceeded human limits and is obviously the effect of magic.

As soon as she arrived at the scene, Mage Weiersa's eyes immediately locked onto the purple worm.

She took a deep breath and danced her fingers in the air quickly and precisely.

Her palm flickered with light, gradually condensing into four shining darts.

There was a fierce flash in Versa's eyes. She swung her arm forward suddenly, and the four flashing darts flew towards the purple worm like arrows.

Along the flight paths of these four flashing darts, faint traces of light were left in the air.

This is the trace left in the air by powerful magic.

The purple worm obviously felt threatened by the four flashing darts.

But its huge body made it unable to dodge flexibly, so it had no choice but to fight hard.

The flashing dart drew a graceful arc in the air and accurately hit the purple worm's body.

Every collision was accompanied by a crisp sound.

That was the sound of the magical power colliding with the hard shell of the purple worm.

This time, the purple worm did not escape unscathed.

Its body trembled slightly under the impact of the flash dart, leaving obvious scars on its hard shell, and even blood began to seep from a few places.

Although these wounds were not fatal to the purple worm, they were enough to make it feel pain and anger. It became irritable and furious, squirming its huge body and trying to get closer to Wei Ersha.

However, Versa did not give it this chance.

She retreated at an astonishing speed, and the magic light in her hand flashed again.

As the spell was cast, the air around the purple worm seemed to become heavy, and an invisible force restrained the purple worm's movements.

The gravity in the area it is in suddenly increases.

The purple worm's movements became slow and clumsy, and its already slow movement speed was reduced to a turtle's crawl.

At the same time, this expanding gravity also caused unprecedented pressure on the purple worm, causing its originally minor wounds to tear open, expand, and splatter blood.

The purple worm became even angrier.

But it is obvious that all its fighting power lies in its powerful body, and it mainly relies on its strong jaws and sharp pincers to launch attacks.

The prerequisite for both of these attacks is close combat.

And Versa was well aware of this, and always kept her distance from the purple worms, avoiding close contact with them.

No matter how angry and violent the purple worms were, and how they raised sand and gravel all over the sky, Versa remained unmoved.

She waved her arms again, and four more flashing darts shot out.

The purple worm opened its huge jaws and let out a terrifying roar, trying to scare Versa with the sound.

But how could the experienced Versa be frightened by such a trivial trick?

Four flashing darts accurately hit the already cracked and enlarged wound on the purple worm's body.

This time the blow was more profound.

It seemed as if some liquid was dispersed in the skin under the purple worm's keratinous shell, and turned into a purple mist that spread out.

Blood gushed out like a fountain.

But when Versa saw this scene, she did not relax at all.

She understood that giant creatures like purple worms had extremely strong vitality. Even though their injuries were serious, they were actually far from dead.

"Those of you who have mastered the magic missiles, follow me and attack the wounds. Do not damage the integrity of its jaws and stingers!"

Versa commanded in a cold voice.

Obviously, she had already secured victory and began to consider the integrity of her spoils.

After receiving the order, more than a dozen first-ring mages from the law enforcement team took action at once.

It seems that [Magic Missile] is one of the spells that the law enforcement team must learn.

They each gathered their magical power, and light flashed in their palms, condensing into shining darts.

It turns out that this flash dart is the so-called [Magic Missile].

However, the power contained in the flashing darts they condensed was naturally far less than that of Versa.

In addition, they can only condense three flashing darts.

These magic missiles drew bright tracks in the air. Although they were less powerful than the magic missiles launched by Versa, they were more numerous.

The purple worm felt a strong threat and thrust its huge jaws towards the ground.

It tried to burrow into the ground to escape from here!

However, what it faces is no longer the soft soil on which it has counted.

An invisible magical force has enveloped the ground where it is, causing the ground to tremble slightly. If it were not so huge, it might have fallen to the ground long ago.

At the same time, this magical power also made the soil as hard as rock, making it impossible for the purple worms to dig it up.

When Versa saw the purple worm struggling in vain, a sneer of determination appeared on her lips.

She had long anticipated that the purple worm would try to burrow into the ground to escape when faced with danger, so she cast [Earth Tremor] in advance to cut off its escape route.

Under the command of Weiersa, the first-ring mages of the law enforcement team continued to launch fierce attacks on the purple worms.

The purple worm was in pain and despair, making sounds of anger and unwillingness. However, no matter how it struggled, it could not change its own fate.

After a few minutes, no matter how strong the purple worm's vitality was, it could not withstand the continuous attack and finally fell down.

It was like a several-story building collapsed, hitting the ground and stirring up a large cloud of dust.
