Chapter 212: Incubation Room

But Lynsey had to accept this fact. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Because after arriving here, the number of holes has become very large, and these holes are very large, and the height is also very high, all of them are about four or five meters, which is enough for two Linxi to walk upright, and with the size of the alien rat, it is obvious that such a huge hole will not be dug for them to pass, only the huge size of the sandworm needs such a hole.

Lin Xi made a random mark, and then walked around the nearly kilometer underground, and the more time passed, the more holes Lin Xi saw, and finally he had to admit that he underestimated the creature of the sandworm.

These sandworms are completely burrowers, and I don't know if they don't need to rest, each of the holes dug out is amazingly long, and vertical/horizontal, the pipe system within a few meters underground in Rongcheng is already a huge labyrinth, but the labyrinth here is even more huge, Lin Xi even suspects that he should have left the scope of Rongcheng at this moment.

"If you let them keep digging, let alone Rongcheng, it is estimated that most of the earth will be hollowed out by them, except for the ocean..."

Usually when Lin Xi was on the ground, he felt that the number of sandworms was not very large, but now he knows that the sandworms used to be active in such a deep underground, maybe they went to the ground to take a walk in the underground like Lin Xi.

Although this nearly 1,000 meters underground cannot be said to be a forbidden area for humans, so far, humans really rarely reach it, but this does not mean that the sandworm is the overlord here, because the alien rat is competing with the sandworm for the hegemony of this place.

Lin Xi saw a lot of traces of the battle between the sand worm and the rat, these are very easy to identify, because many holes have been corroded, which is obviously the result of the mucus in the body of the sand worm, in addition, many holes have a large number of claw marks left by the sharp claws of the rat on the wall of the hole, through some traces, Lin Xi can know that the battle between the two creatures is in full swing, you can't fight, you live or die.

"Most of the abilities of the alien rats come from its minions, as well as their terrifying numbers, and the ability of the sandworm is the most powerful with its corrosive acid, like the devouring ability of the super giant sandworm is definitely not much, every time the alien rat group kills a sandworm, it must suffer countless losses, and I don't know which of these two creatures has the upper hand."

After a bend, Lynsey stopped suddenly, for he had just heard a click, a slight one, but it was nearby.

After listening carefully for a long time, Lin Xi took a few steps back, squinted his eyes and looked at the rock wall in front of him, the rock wall here was not smooth, Lin Xi reached out and touched it, and it was still a little soft.

"The sound should be coming from behind, and sure enough, there is something strange here." Lin Xi thought about it, picked up the dragon qi, grabbed it with one claw, and between his hands, these are rocks, they are like mud at all.

Lin Xi dug more vigorously this time, and soon dug a big hole here, after digging more than ten meters, Lin Xi felt that the front was empty, raised his eyes, and vaguely, Lin Xi saw the scene in front of him, and was taken aback.

It was a huge cavern, and the ground was full of slime from sandworms, forming a large lake of slime, but these lakes of slime were not deep, at most up to Lynsey's knees, and in the slime paste, it was full of dense eggs.

These eggs are about half a meter high, oval, gray-white, at this time, there are several fat white sandworms breaking out of these eggs, and the click sound just now is the sound of breaking the shell.

The newly broken shell sandworms are only about one meter long, they eat instinctively, not only will eat those eggshells, but also eat the surrounding sandworm eggs, and they grow very fast, and after they swallow a few eggs, the body size has become three or four meters long, as for those corrosive mucus does not work on them at all, but should be a kind of protection.

The huge cave, the countless eggs, the sandworms devouring the eggs, and the slime paste, such a scene is very terrifying, and Linsey couldn't help but think of the picture in the movie Alien, which is simply a hatching room, fortunately the sandworms are not aliens, even if they have the same characteristics: they all have corrosive slime.

Lin Xi subconsciously wanted to destroy these eggs, after all, there were too many of these eggs, if they all hatched, there would be hundreds of thousands of more sandworms in an instant, but then, Lin Xi denied this idea, as the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, humans and sandworms are not friends, but they both have a common enemy: rats.

The number of rats is now second only to the green locust, but the threat to humans is much greater than that of the green locust, because most of the range of the rat is in densely populated cities, and the green locust is in the wild forest, as long as a high wall is built, there is a great possibility that the green locust can be kept out, but the rat is not.

There are sandworms to contain the rats, and the damage to humans will be much smaller, on the contrary, if the sandworms are extinct, the next one to suffer may become humans.

There was a sudden sound in front of him, and Lin Xi groaned, jumped up, tapped a few times on the top of those sandworm eggs, and flew forward lightly, almost silently.

Then Lin Xi saw a sandworm laying eggs there, this sandworm laid eggs that called a happy, a long transparent umbilical cord, rows of eggs with mucus from its body along the umbilical cord were discharged, the number of eggs laid at a time was more than hundreds, and when it laid eggs, the body seemed to become a little smaller, and then this sandworm left, not nostalgic at all, for it, the laying of eggs is estimated to be just instinct, and there is no so-called idea of recognizing relatives, more free and easy than human beings...

Leaving from the hatchery, Lin Xi didn't do anything when he encountered the sand worms again this time, but unfortunately the sand worms were simple-minded and couldn't feel Lin Xi's kindness, and Lin Xi had to kill a few in the end, and after he left far away, he could hear the squeaky squeaks of rats from the place where the sand worms were killed, these rats had sensitive noses and followed Lin Xi to pick up food.

Walking like this, hiding, and killing at the same time, Lin Xi didn't know where he was now, and Lin Xi had already seen five of them in the hatching room like just now.

It was dark underground, the passage of time was almost imperceptible, and the scenery was almost unchanged, until at last, when Lin Xi was a little impatient, he suddenly heard the sound of running water.

"Underground rivers?" Lin Xi's heart perked, it was finally something different.

Following the sound, Linsey headed towards the underground river, and then he saw a wide underground river.

As soon as he arrived at the river, there was a fierce river slapping sound upstream, Lin Xi was shocked, and then he saw a strange rat coming down the river from the river, this strange rat obviously did not take the initiative to go into the water, its body was wrapped with dense snake-like creatures, although the strange rat struggled desperately, but it seemed very futile, soon, this strange rat floated down the river, needless to say, in the end, it must be dead.

"There are creatures like leeches or nematodes in this underground river?" (To be continued.) )
