Act II: The Eyes of Dying Chapter 78: Want to Settle for All? Inexistent!
After most of the day, Resa and Icarus finally broke through the last barrier, and they only needed to head to the main city to find the Tsar's lair.
Unlike the outside, probably because of the protective barriers, the environment here looks much better than the outside, and maybe it would be better if it weren't for the sight of the bugs.
Resa and Icarus looked at each other, and the surroundings were densely packed with colorful sandworms of all kinds and sizes, and it was roughly estimated that there were thousands of sandworms here. In these piles, Resa and Icarus even saw an aggregate of sandworms inside.
"It's going to be crowded...... Oh, the worm sea tactics? Icarus glanced at him, it might be difficult to kill so many sandworms without using his forbidden abilities.
"Looks like you're going to kill us here, once and for all?" Ressa's guide device began to deform from two claws, and finally turned into two dragon cannon shapes, dragon claws have high attack power, but they are not suitable for multi-person killing, so if you use dragon cannons, they must enjoy the taste of the sea of fire.
Before Resa and Icarus could attack, the sandworms raised their heads and shot at them in clusters of colorful sand arrows.
"Yes! I also know how to strike first. Resa aimed the dragon cannon at the dense area of the sandworms, and a blood-red fireball erupted from the muzzle of the cannon, smashing down with a string of tongues of fire.
"Boom~~~~" The sea of fire drowned a large area of sandworms, however, the sandworms gathered here are obviously more difficult types, yes, this consumed nearly 20% of Ressa's ability to attack, and it only caused the affected sandworms to suffer minor injuries, but they were killed, but they were not at all.
"It's something, it's really resistant." Ressa pursed her lips, there were too many sandworms underneath, and they were so colorful that he couldn't tell the difference.
"That old worm is really willing to lose his money, then, I'll let it lose all its money!" A sneer tugged at the corners of Icarus's mouth, although that would hurt him a lot, but if it could be successful, it would be no less than the supplies before the war.
Icarus's figure slowly rose, and the black mist on his body grew wildly, and as the fog intensified, a black ball enveloped him, and from a distance, it looked like a large black cocoon floating in the air.
Ressa didn't know what he was up to, but he could feel the danger seeping through the dark mist.
"What is this madman going to do?" Ressa's brows tightened, and the strange oppressive force made him stop the attack in his hand, and the sea of insects below began to riot violently.
[When the eyes of death gaze, the death knell will sound for you]
A murmur came from the black mist, and then, two dark green rays of light began to spread rapidly, enveloping the sandworms below before they fled, and as the dark green light shrizzled down, the sandworms below writhed, but their movements became slower and slower, and some of them even threw their bodies in two while writhing.
"What a pervert." Resa was stunned to look at the large sand worms that were shriveling down below, and the faint green light converged along the bodies of these sand worms towards the black mist formed by Icarus, the dark green light emitted from the black mist was already very dim, but after these lights were integrated, the originally dim light became intense, which directly caused the sand worms below to die more quickly.
As time passed, even the sandworm aggregate could not escape the fate of being eroded by the light, and in a short time, the bottom had changed from a noisy place to a place of insect corpses.
The black mist gradually faded, and Icarus appeared in front of Resa with a pale face, his current state was a little abnormal, obviously looking weak, but revealing a strong vitality and a very dangerous aura. In this way, two contradictory characteristics actually appeared in Icarus's body at the same time.
"Not bad, right?" Icarus made a V-shaped gesture to Ressa, the corners of Ressa's mouth twitched slightly, and after a long pause, he turned and flew in the direction of the central city.
"Since you still have experience of idleness, it means that you are fine, so let's continue on our way." Ressa's salty voice came from ahead.
"What a captain who doesn't know how to feel sorry for his subordinates!" Icarus shook his head, his current state was not very good, at least, it was a blessing that he used the Gaze of Death this time and did not drain his life force. If one's own life force is extracted, even if it obtains more foreign life force, it needs to be transformed into one's own life force.
Icarus didn't say much, he followed closely behind Ressa, calculating the time, they were only less than half a day's journey from the central city, and at this time, if nothing else, Lico and Liz should have been taken to the Tsar's lair, if they want to save them intact, there is probably not much time left for them.
In fact, Icarus was still a little too worried, the Tsar's tribute was not something that could be chosen casually, even after the tribute was chosen, it was necessary to draw a divine pattern and let him lie on the altar for nearly half a day, during this time, the Tsar would hypnotize and control his consciousness through the divine pattern, and only after the emotions in the heart of the tribute were completely eliminated, the Tsar would ascend to the altar and proceed to the next step.
So, for the first day after Licolis arrived in the wormhole, they were relatively safe. However, Icarus miscalculated, that is, Licolis had been taken to the wormcave six hours ago, and if it weren't for Lis's burst of psychic energy and Lico's obstruction, perhaps they would have been stripped of their clothes by now, painted with god tattoos, and lying on the altar hypnotized and brainwashed by the Tsar.
Resa and Icarus were moving very fast, and the central city gradually became clear in their eyes, but it was precisely as they got closer that the look of surprise on Resa and Icarus's faces became more and more intense.
From a distance, the central city looks like nothing, and when you get closer, you realize that the central city has actually become a huge insect nest, and there is a strange kind of sand worm flying out of the dense holes, yes, it is flying out, this kind of sand worm has a small shell on the back of the third of the shell, and in the place of this shell, three pairs of translucent pointed wings are waving rapidly.
If it weren't for the fact that its body was a slender worm, with a round head and two large eyes, it would look like a dragonfly.
Within the nest range, there are basically this kind of sandworms, and this kind of insect seems to be harmless compared to the species that Ressa encountered before, but the cautious Resa still looked it up in the database of his personal terminal, not to mention, he really found it.
Sand Fly: No. 04148
Level: Pseudo-Celestial Beast (slightly stronger than Earth Beast Tier 5)
Catalog: Insectaceae
Energy Category: Neurotoxin, Annihilation Energy
Hunt Value: ???
Product: Sand Fly's Thorn (Item number: 008102)
One of the mutated insects of the genus Sand Worm, the sand fly has a strong sense of territory, at the same time, don't look at its usual slow wandering within the territory, in fact, its speed is even comparable to the blood fly that is known for its speed, its mouthparts are distributed with annihilation particles, can easily break through most of the defenses, after sting the target, the sand fly will inject neurotoxins into the target's body, and the attacked person often can't wake up after falling unconscious.
Ressa frowned, to be honest, he didn't take the sand fly to heart, it's just that there are too many sand flies here, densely in and out of those holes, if you startle the snake, it is not a good sign for Resa and the others.
"What should I do?" Icarus looked at Resa, and it was clear that this was more than he had expected.
"Why don't you make an ultimate move and kill them directly?" Resa rubbed her chin and said with some uncertainty.
"You're trying to kill me, aren't you?" Icarus smiled bitterly: "Although my move will deprive the enemy of his vitality, he will also consume a lot of life force, do you want me to become a living corpse wandering around?" ”
"So, what the hell is going to be?" Resa looked at the sand flies that were hovering at the entrance of the cave, and if she didn't solve these troublesome guys, she was afraid that she would face the fate of being hunted down after entering the wormhole.
"Perhaps, this is the first tough battle we face!" Icarus spread his hands: "However, the central city is so big, whether it is fought or bypassed depends on your arrangement, captain." ”
