Volume 4 Chapter 9 The Lair

"This is a bladed insect that appeared in the fifth layer of the labyrinth, and its strength is about level eleven. However, he was extremely unlucky, and encountered the giantfoot beasts in the rampaging way, and was trampled to death before he could even launch an attack" Two more images were introduced, one of the bladed insect aimed its horns in front of it and tried to attack, and the other showed the golden horn in the huge footprint.

"Judging from the attack action and the type of monster that exists on the fifth layer, this blade worm is likely to be transformed from the bottom monster of the fifth layer, the sharphorned worm. A picture of an insect monster was pushed up. It was a caterpillar-like multi-legged insect, about half a meter in length, with a slightly larger head than its body, and a large sharp horn that almost completely occupied the top of its head. There is also a sharp horn on the tail, but it is smaller, and there are smaller spikes growing at the base of each pair of feet on both sides of the body, and with the yellow and orange body color, the whole bug exudes a breath that does not mess with me.

"The sharphorned worm, a second-order seventh-level insect demonic beast, has extremely low intelligence. However, he is able to use the sharp horns of his head to unleash a second-order lightning magic - lightning chain. At the same time, the sharp horns are extremely hard, which can be used to ram and stab predators. My guess is that the reason why the Bladeworm retains its golden horns is because the Sharphorn Worm's horn genes are too strong, and the Bladeworm doesn't have enough genes to cover its effects. The remaining sharp horn has been sent to pick it up and send it to the laboratory for analysis and comparison. As long as the results come out, you will be able to know if it belongs to the sharphorn worm."

As he spoke, a maid who appeared to be from the Ministry of Intelligence suddenly walked in, whispered a few words in Thirteen's ear, and then left.

"Okay, the judgment is basically certain" Slightly tidying up his clothes, the thirteenth opened his mouth while mobilizing the new picture.

"Just now my subordinates came to report that they found information about the blood cocoon that is forming and hatching, and the screen is being transferred"

"Hiss~"

The transferred image made everyone in the command room, including Thirteen, who already knew some information, and Shi Leiyin, who had seen the blood cocoon, gasp.

Without him, just because this blood cocoon is too huge.

The screen is located in a corner of the third floor, which belongs to a blind spot of the third layer of surveillance. The reason why the Blood Cocoon was discovered was simply because its size had grown to an extremely large size. Not only does it completely occupy all the space in the blind spot, but it also invades the nearby location space that is under surveillance.

The transferred screen is no longer the picture of the surveillance eye near there, but the surveillance eye re-installed by the intelligence department personnel, so not only can you roughly observe the whole picture of the blood cocoon, but also have four or five different angles of the picture as a reference. However, the blood cocoon expands from the corner, so the inside of the corner is unobservable.

The diameter cannot be determined, but the height can be known by reference. The blood cocoon, which apparently has risen beyond the heights of the surrounding mangroves, is at least thirty to forty meters tall and continues to grow.

The blood-colored meridians were not only thicker than the blood cocoon that Shi Leiyin had seen before, but the meridians were constantly pulsating like a blood vessel pulse, and with each beat, the entire blood cocoon grew back a little in size. The blood-colored film covering the middle of the blood-colored meridians is constantly bright and dark with the pulsation, and when it is bright, you can vaguely see that there are many shadows similar to sharp blade insects in the blood cocoon printed on the film.

After darkening, sharp claws slowly stretched out from those blood-colored films, and then a sharp blade worm came out of it. Strangely, although the bladed insects emerged from the film, the film itself was not damaged, as if the bladed insects had appeared directly through the film.

The newly emerged Blade Worm quickly left the Blood Cocoon and landed on the ground, and then rushed towards the main battlefield of the Blade Worm and the Serpentine Demon Beast, becoming a new combat force on the battlefield.

'Lair!' was the first reaction of all those who saw it.

The new blood cocoon is obviously different from the blood cocoon that Shi Leiyin told. It's not a single mutant creature, it's a hatching nest that hatches a large number of bladed insects. The interval between the light and the dark of the blood-colored film is about ten seconds, and after six light and dark, that is, a new batch of blade worms will appear after one minute. Each batch produces about ten blade worms, the level is stable at level six, and the actual combat power can reach the middle and upper level of seven, and occasionally there will be only nine of them, but there will be several levels that reach level seven. This is a good explanation of why the bladed insects on the battlefield tend to be in a state of inferiority, but they are still able to maintain the number of nearly a hundred, as well as the strength of the high and low. According to the picture that Shi Lei Yin saw when he arrived, no less than ten Blade Worms had been eliminated in just a few minutes, how could it be possible to maintain this number without replenishment.

"There used to be a demon rat's nest over there," Thirteen has gotten the latest news. Although there are blind spots in monitoring, it is just that it cannot be monitored in real time. As the chief intelligence officer in the labyrinth, Thirteen will naturally make detailed intelligence records in all areas and corners of the labyrinth. After comparing locations, Thirteen quickly learned what the area was about before the blood cocoon appeared.

The Demon Rat is a low-level magical beast that is almost indistinguishable from a normal rat except for the use of random first-order talent magic. Adult demon rats can generally reach the strength of the second and fourth levels, and some will be upgraded to the third and fifth levels because of their better magical talents, which is very in line with the comparison of the strength of the two levels after being transformed by the blade insect. At the same time, the magic rat is quite popular with the Maze Construction Department of the Jinkisi Chamber of Commerce for its strong reproductive ability. Adult rats can usually breed four times a year, and each time they can produce six to ten baby rats, and it only takes a year for them to mature. In the case of sufficient food or surrounded by natural enemies, a pair of adult demon rats can even reproduce twelve times a year, and the growth cycle of the baby demon rat will also be shortened to half a year. It just so happened that the environment of the third layer of the maze met these two conditions at the same time, so the 10,000 pairs of demon rats put into the early stage of the maze, even under the huge number of snake demonic beasts hunted day and night, still established a nest with tens of thousands of members, and occupied a corner of the third layer of the maze.

It's just that even if it was preyed on by the natural enemies of the entire labyrinth, the demon rat's nest, which didn't have much effect, was easily destroyed by the black qi of the blade insect because of its own low level. Even the nests have been transformed into each other's nests.

But fortunately, it is obvious that the transformation into a blade worm does not require additional energy at all, and the number of magic rats that have been transformed into a blade worm is not as large as the original magic rat. Also, there may be a certain degree of limitation on this transformation, otherwise the number of 10 will not appear at a time.
