Bugs!bugs!bugs!!

The black cat was tense, and its mind was full of images of bugs with short white hairs rolling and wriggling. Not surprisingly, if the surging insect swarm flooded the camp, Senior Colmar's low-profile three-person expedition team would not be able to support it for a minute before it would be gnawed clean by those insects.

Although Zheng Qing had never been bitten by a corpse beetle, he had seen the scene of the marching ants advancing on TV—mighty and unstoppable, and all organic matter along the way turned into nourishment for the insect colony, leaving only a bare stone and dirt. Although the corpse beetle is not the same species as the marching ant, it gives the black cat the same sense of threat.

If they catch up, they will definitely be eaten and wiped clean, leaving only a pile of clean bones!

Imagining in his mind the scene of a poisoned black cat swollen and slumped in the woodland, staring at the sky with blank eyes, crawling with corpse beetles, Zheng Qing couldn't help but snort, and ran faster and faster.

One step, two steps...... A flash of red lightning flashed through his mind.

The black cat's pace slowed slowly.

A strange emotion spread from the bottom of his heart—why am I so scared? Behind me is the exit of the secret realm, and there is a line of defense around it, just retreat normally, why did I think so much just now, I would be so afraid?

Then a question came to his mind:

What did these insects survive by eating? According to the number of their species, even the entire Silent Forest would hardly be able to satisfy their appetites, let alone this imperfect secret world.

In addition, the appearance of the boundless insect swarm was too coincidental, and the picture of the insect swarm raging in my mind, the rustling sound of the insect swarm in front of the swarm and the high in the back, vaguely revealed a bit of deliberateness.

The black cat stopped.

"Wait a minute," he growled, turning his head to look at the dark forest behind him, "do you think it's weird?"

"What's weird? Run, run out first!" Colma grabbed the magic book in one hand and the talisman in the other, staring nervously at the gap between the ancient locust trees: "There are still fifteen seconds to open the exit of the secret realm, and then the faceless will retreat first, and then the black cat, after I press the formation...... 'faceless' out, pay attention to immediately strengthen the camp defense in the silent forest, and be careful not to capsize in the gutter." ”

Yelena nodded silently, leaning back to the exit of the secret realm, cautiously paying attention to the movements in the forest left and right.

The rustling footsteps of the swarms behind the bushes seemed to grow more and more rapid as they trekked.

"The secret ecological environment can't support such a large swarm. The black cat pricked up its ears, and its two pupils flashed with a light of thought: "I mean to say...... What do they eat?"

Colma, who was maintaining the ritual, stiffened.

The gypsy witch glanced thoughtfully at the black cat: "Maybe it's some mutated bugs, usually silent underground...... Do you wake up when you encounter your prey?"

The black cat chuckled, "Hey...... Mutation also needs to pay attention to the basic process, so that mutated insects don't need to eat to reproduce? Such a large insect colony, regardless of daily survival, simply allows them to be born requires a large number of corpses. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the dead rabbits that had been left at the edge of the woods, and added, "You can't afford to raise so many bugs with these rabbits alone." If there were really that many bugs, these rabbits wouldn't have grown so big. ”

"Maybe they eat the sunset and the dew, and eat the wood, stone chips, and dirt. Colmar finally turned around and glanced at the black cat.

The black cat tilted its ears sideways, paying attention to the movement in the forest, and its expression became more and more determined: "If they eat wood and stone chips and dirt, then what else do we have to worry about?"

The leader of the expedition team finally gave up arguing with the black cat.

"What do you want?" she maintained the magical ritual of the exit, just in case.

"Give me a heart talisman...... I had it in the pile of talisman paper I gave you earlier. The black cat stared intently into the depths of the woods, and commanded softly, "You all use one." ”

Without Colmar's order, the gypsy witch shook her hand and threw out a heart charm that landed on the black cat's head. In the blink of an eye, three straight wisps of green smoke rose up in front of the gap in the ancient locust and silently disappeared between the heavy canopy.

The two witches' panicked expressions quickly calmed down. At the same time, the rustling sound in Zheng Qing's ears and the frightening images in his mind faded a lot at the same time, almost disappearing.

Colma bit her lip and looked embarrassed.

There was no doubt that they had just experienced an extremely realistic hallucination. Almost, almost gave up on this first expedition. Although the basic data of this secret world has been collected by the expedition team, the gap between the completion rate of the task of fifty percent and the completion rate of one hundred percent is obvious.

No one has so much time to waste on the way in and out of the Forest of Silence.

Although he was annoyed at heart, Colmar was not impulsive, but showed the qualities of a qualified hunter.

She quietly gestured to her two companions and changed the follow-up mission.

Since the unknown creature only dares to hide in the forest and use illusions, it means that its actual combat power is very weak. ’

'The black cat went up the tree and ambushed from above. ’

'Faceless and the captain set off from both sides, outflanking left and right. ’

The two witches had talismans such as 'illusion', 'light body' and 'breath' on their bodies, and they crossed the edge of the camp and silently touched behind the bushes. Compared with them, the black cat was born with the corresponding skills, so he didn't waste those talismans.

With a perceptive black cat and a witch skilled in divination, they quickly zeroed in on the suspect on the edge of a small puddle less than twenty meters from the camp.

Or, to put it more accurately, it's 'suspect bug'.

It was a white and fat guy, a little thick, a little long, and he looked like a slug. Its head is topped by a ring of black antennae of varying lengths, which look like the tentacles of a snail.

When it was targeted by the black cat, it was snapping at the edge of a puddle, and the antennae above its head rose and fell, as if to accompany a beautiful piece of music.

Until the two witches blocked its puddle.

The antennae on the top of the 'slug's head stopped bouncing. And the illusion in the minds of Zheng Qing and the others and the rustling sound of simulated insect swarm footsteps in their ears also came to an abrupt end.

The truth is revealed.

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, the chubby white bug was trampled into a pulp by Colma. I don't know if it's an illusion, but the black cat felt the light around it flicker for a moment, like the feeling when the light bulb is broken.

It looked up at the sun and moon hanging in mid-air.

The sun and moon stayed there dimly, exactly as it had first seen it.

The black cat shook its head and got rid of the doubts in its heart.

"You're such a waste. The black cat looked at the cold mutant insect with some heartache: "Bring it back alive, even if you don't change credits, you can sell it for a lot of money in the wandering bar." ”

"It's not our purpose. The leader of the expedition team replied crisply, "Besides, I hate bugs!"

The black cat sighed, and finally didn't clean up the mess.
