Chapter 79 Desperate Ghost Owl Cultist <TOC> Chapter 81 Riding Alone into the Rain of Steel

“Larimore! Track the scent, I must catch those damn intruders!”
After giving the order to Larimore, the Ghost Owl Cultist turned to another cultist and said, “You take a dozen people down to check the situation in the monastery.”
The situation in the monastery is unknown, and the cautious Ghost Owl Cultist naturally wouldn’t rashly take everyone down. In the worst case, everyone would be instantly transported into the rock layer and suffocated by the surrounding rocks dozens of meters underground.
The cultist stood with his armed disciples by the white boulder, feeling somewhat tragic. Now the situation in the monastery is unknown, and they could become cannon fodder if they were unlucky. If the attackers were still lurking in the monastery, it’s very likely that they would be ambushed before they could launch the key to the door.
As a cultist who could open the Key to the Door, he was definitely a priority target for the attack.
The cultist gritted his teeth and activated his psychic energy, triggering the Key to the Door, and teleported into the underground monastery with his disciples.
Soon, there was a muffled sound from underground, and everyone could feel the ground trembling slightly.
The Ghost Owl Cultist’s hand trembled slightly. There was no need to guess, the explosion must have occurred in the underground monastery.
Such a violent explosion, the aftermath even spread to the surface. The chances of the thirty or so people who had just gone down surviving were already very slim.
Even the cave where the Key to the Door was placed may have already collapsed.
A cold sweat dripped from Larimore’s face. “The Bloodworms have already remembered the scent of those intruders, they can’t escape.”
The scattered Bloodworms gathered in the air, some restless and emitting harsh screeches.
They found something, and Larimore’s face twisted in shock. “They haven’t even left! They’re nearby! Maybe they’re watching us somewhere!”
“What!”
The Ghost Owl Cultist’s cold spiritual energy turned into pale flames due to his emotional outburst, igniting the air around him.
“Where are they!”
The Bloodworm swarm was like a dark cloud, swarming along the ground.
There was a dense meadow over there, covered with knee-high weeds.
The Ghost Owl Cultist immediately wanted to chase after them, but he remembered the explosion underground and stopped his feet.
The high-energy explosives in the intruders’ hands were definitely not limited to those underground. The area around the boulder was too open and not conducive to the placement of explosives, but it was a completely different story in the meadow.
Placing explosives in the cluttered bushes, it was impossible to discover.
“Susanto, you lead your men and walk in front.”
He commanded Susanto.
Susanto’s face immediately turned bitter and green, as if a swamp rhinoceros had stepped on his balls and stomped down hard.
But he had no choice but to nod and bow in agreement.
“Okay, Father cultist, we’ll go ahead!”
Susanto ordered his men to follow behind the Bloodworms. Some soldiers were full of complaints, but under the cold gaze of the armed disciples and the intentional or unintentional muzzles of their guns, they could only walk in a thin line in front of them.
The armed disciples followed them on the hovercraft.
The Ghost Owl Cultist calmed down.
“Has their position changed?”
“No, they haven’t moved at all. The smell of blood in the air is very stable. It’s about southwest direction and shouldn’t be more than two kilometers away.”
After communicating with the swarm, Larimore said.
The Bloodworms are very sensitive to the smell of blood in the air. They can smell the blood under the skin, even if the target has no wounds. They can easily distinguish the target’s blood from thousands of other blood scents.
The Ghost Owl Cultist’s face darkened, unable to conceal his frustration and fear. The Soul Cult has not suffered such a heavy blow for a long time. And he still knows nothing, except for the number of enemies.
“Their strength shouldn’t be very strong, otherwise they wouldn’t need to lure us away before invading the monastery. Release all the Bloodthirsty Beasts, and as soon as the target is discovered, command them to attack.”
Larimore wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. The cultists’ control over the Bloodthirsty Beasts is limited, so if they are released like this, it will be difficult to restrain them afterwards.
“Now is not the time to worry about these things, do you understand!”
The Ghost Owl Cultist immediately shouted impatiently when he saw his hesitant expression.
Soon, all the Bloodthirsty Beasts were running wild on the wilderness, and the cultists could only do their best to control the soul worms in their souls, preventing them from attacking Susanto’s men.
Soon, the cloud-like Bloodworms hovered in the air, having determined the location of the target.
“Susanto, if you don’t want to be burned to ashes by my Soul Fire, make your men speed up!” The Ghost Owl Cultist threatened impatiently, “As for the rest of you, I’ll let the Bloodthirsty Beasts dismember you directly!”
His threat was quite effective.
The sparsely armed personnel made a great effort and ran towards the direction of the bloodworms.
They soon arrived at the target location, cautiously approaching.
But nothing happened even when they reached the bottom of the bloodworms. The waist-high weeds were shaking slightly, and something was hiding behind them.
Susanto kicked one of his fearful subordinates and ordered them to check the situation.
Several of his subordinates reluctantly pushed aside the dense grass.
They saw three big white pigs tied up in the meadow, constantly digging up and eating the worms with their noses, making a cheerful sound.
“No, this can’t be!” Larimore was scratching his head in agony. The bloodworms could easily distinguish between fresh and old blood. Even if the enemy painted their blood on these three pigs, they couldn’t fool the bloodworm’s sense of smell. They couldn’t even distinguish the difference in scent between humans and pigs.
Even now, the bloodworms still believed that these three white pigs were the humans who invaded the monastery.
This absurd feeling almost made him vomit blood.
The muscles on the face of the Ghost Owl Cultist twitched as he grabbed Larimore’s collar. “What’s going on? Tell me, what’s going on?”
“The bloodworms can’t be wrong, unless someone else has learned the technique of manipulating insects and interfered with them! But that’s impossible! The technique of manipulating insects is a secret of the church, and I believe that no one below the fourth level can interfere with them in front of me!” Larimore said, his face turning red.
“Something’s not right!” The Ghost Owl Cultist’s heart trembled suddenly, and he felt an extremely bad feeling.
“Go! Run! Get out of here!” But it was already too late for him to react.
A soldier was horrified to find that he accidentally tripped over a thin line in the grass.
He was shocked and immediately lay down on the ground.
“Boom!”
