Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Worm Nest of Crisis
Entering the sixth floor again, everyone searched in groups of three, each group was guaranteed to be in the sight of the other, the whole team seemed to be scattered, but in fact it was tight, and any danger was found, and support from other teams would be immediately obtained.
Xiao Ming and the three were still relatively weak, so they were arranged in the center of the team, with Legolas and Zhuge Tiantian guarding on the left and right, and Lan Xiang and Yerui following the avant-garde.
The three Ilti sisters formed a squad of sharp knives and walked at the front of the group.
The entire sixth floor has been turned into a huge space, and there is hardly anything useful to be seen, no monsters, no men in black, no traces.
"If we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, we wouldn't have believed that we had fought here once and encountered so many monsters. What the hell is going on?" Pierce couldn't help but say.
"The monster was stunned to death by the aftermath of the last spatial passage, but strangely enough, the aftermath didn't do any harm to us!" said Pho Petong Guò Tifa, deducing what was going on with the final shockwave.
But even if one deduces what the shockwave is all about, it is impossible to understand why the aftermath of that spatial concussion only works on monsters, and not on them.
The truth is naturally dealt with by Da Pan and Bai Zhen, but Xiao Ming can't say this kind of thing.
"Ah, you say, is it possible that the space that Mingzi entered is the base camp of monsters, and after the base camp is over, these monsters are all related, so they are dead?
The humanoid monster who was knocked out by Yingluo was right under everyone's noses, and died unconsciously, which made Xiao Ming feel a little surprised. He believed that Yingluo was in a weak state at the time. There will also be a situation where the ability will get out of hand. But the monster was dead, apparently for another reason.
"Like a Bolaf bug?" said Feng Dao.
Bolaf is a colony, a female nest, a colony. Different levels of the mother nest will produce different levels of nests. Before the brood is destroyed, it will keep producing bugs, and those bugs will also be crazy to protect the brood. But if you can directly decapitate and destroy the brood, then all the bugs produced by the brood will die in the shortest possible time.
It's just that the mother nest has always been the most tightly protected by insects. It will also camouflage and hide, so it is almost impossible for humans to find the location of the brood, and only occasionally a few lucky enough to find the brood and directly kill the brood with a platform weapon, which can discover this characteristic of the Polaf worm.
"It's not impossible, those monsters have bug properties, maybe that's what they are!" Pierce shrugged.
"There's another issue that we need to pay attention to. On the third floor, these monsters suddenly jumped out, and deliberately showed mercy to their subordinates. But when we got to the sixth floor, these monsters changed their style. It's all about not dying. Do you think that we killed too the third layer and offended these monsters?" Xing Xin is worthy of being an old mercenary, and he has a very accurate grasp of some details.
"Accurate spatial leaps in a very small range, deliberately not working. Pierce said, "If you say, these monsters all have the ability to accurately move in space in a very small area. Then our crisis will be much greater. But on the sixth floor, they were useless. Are there two factions of monsters? Or are we killing all the monsters that were able to move in the first place?"
"No, many of the monsters encountered on the third layer are also encountered on the sixth layer. But it's all monsters that aren't too strong. The few powerful types that Tifa fought didn't. If this kind of leaping ability is possessed by these monsters, then it can be explained!" Zhuge Tiantian shook his head.
"There are more and more secrets in this underground base!" Xing Xin sighed.
"Is it possible that it has something to do with the missing Dongyang Mercenary Group?" Selene said suddenly.
"If that's really the case, with the practices of those Dahe people, they can definitely directly sink the entire underground base to deal with us!" Nangong Lie snorted, and felt that this attitude was not very polite to Selene, and explained a little embarrassedly: "Miss Selene, you are not an Oriental, and you may not be able to intuitively understand the contradiction between us Orientals and the Dahe people. Although the Ferrier family protects these Great River people, these Great River people have never dared to go out alone, and this kind of mission with other mercenary groups has always ended in the death of one party!"
"Yes, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of the man in black this time, we might not have waited to get down to this underground base and would have done it!" Xing Xin also nodded.
The hatred between the Orientals and the Great River is irreconcilable, and this hatred will never disappear until one side is exterminated. Judging from the current situation, the possibility of the extinction of the Great River Clan is much higher than that of the Orientals.
"But I think what Selene said makes sense!" Yan Xinjie, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Maybe we can change our thinking, it's not that the people of Dahe don't want to, but they can't do it." Maybe there was some deal between them and the Men in Black, but the Men in Black didn't quite listen to them. So the attacks of these monsters on us are only superficial. Of course, this is under the premise that the man in black controls the monster. On the other hand, those men in black were simply sent by the Felier family. You must know that the best thing the people of Dahe are at is suicide attacks, they have to play a bitter trick, and no matter how big the sacrifice is, they can do it!"
"What about the purpose?" Xing Xin asked.
"The current situation is the goal. Maybe they're trying to trap us in this underground base. You see, it's more than 5,000 meters underground, and it's impossible for us to get the word out before we leave here. This is safer and more reliable than dealing with us outside, isn't it?" Yan Xinjie said.
"So, you think this is actually a base for the Feliel family, but it was abandoned more than forty years ago!" said Pierce.
"Forty years ago, this place was attacked, didn't we infer that it was possible that the people who originally owned the base held the base, or it was possible that the attackers grabbed the base? So no matter which possibility it is, as long as one of the two forces is a member of the Ferrier family, then what I said is possible!" Yan Xinjie didn't say much along the way, but it wasn't that she became silent, but that she had been thinking, and now she had sorted out her thoughts.
"Hey, come on!" the group heard Ilti's voice.
"What's the matter?" Feng Daopei was the first to rush forward.
"I see the entrance to the seventh floor. Ah, no, it's a, ah, it's a worm's nest!" Ilti's voice tensed everyone's nerves.
Monsters or something, although it is an angry taboo in everyone's hearts, but compared to the worm nest, it is nothing, the war between humans and the Polaf worm before, starting from the dark age of the star beast, has lasted for thousands of years, and until now, the battle between humans and bugs has not ended.
It can be said that the war and hatred between humans and the Polaf worm are like those between the Orientals and the Great River, and the relationship between the two sides will not change until one side dies completely.
"What the hell is going on? It's the entrance again, it's the worm nest again?" everyone quickly rushed to where Ilti was, and only then did they see what Ilty was saying.
The passage from the sixth floor to the seventh floor used to be the same downward slope as the fifth to sixth floors, but this slope is now completely occupied by the Bolaf worms, turning it into a nest.
When humans attack the worm nest, they often get lost in the worm nest, and the key reason is that there is a kind of construction worm in the Polav worm, which quickly secretes a kind of fast-drying body fluid, and then uses this body fluid to mix insect corpses, stones and other materials that can be used to change the terrain in the worm nest, and this speed is very fast, it is possible that the front foot of the exploration team has just entered, and the back foot has been changed by the construction worm.
Therefore, to explore the worm nest, it is necessary to have reliable and continuous photo-brain holographic scanning, or it can be directly pushed by a large army. The general number of people is less than a hundred, even if it is a first-class worm nest, no one will enter it lightly, it is one thing to be able to fight, but whether it will get lost is another matter.
"What the hell is going on in this damn place? It's a wormhole again, it's a mysterious space where monsters grow, and now the wormhole is out again. Hey, this is the interior of Draco, and here is more than 5,000 meters underground, what the hell is this?" Zhuge couldn't help but complain every day.
The faces of the people were also as heavy as water. As a natural ecological planet, its internal and external defenses are extremely strict, especially the defense against the Zerg, which can definitely be said to be the strongest defense that can be done, but now the qiē that appears in front of everyone's eyes has completely subverted everyone's previous cognition. Whether it is a wormhole or the wormnest in front of you, once it erupts, it will be a disaster that will completely destroy Draco.
"Now we should be glad that these things have not broken out until now, and we should be even more glad that we have found them now!" Nangong Lie let out a long sigh: "Now we have no reason to leave." If we don't figure this out, we'll be sinners for the whole of Draco!"
"Thinking deeper, if there is really a fourth-level wormhole behind that wormhole, once it erupts, the entire Eastern Star Region will be involved in the war. When the time comes...... "Xing Xin didn't dare to say any more."
Everyone also shivered in unison.
"Okay, no matter what, we have to enter this worm nest!" Feng Daopei said in a deep voice: "Now move forward in the worm nest search formation, everyone must be careful," (to be continued......)
