Chapter 264: Worm Island Chapter (4)
The three of them walked for ten minutes, but it can be said that they were walking on thin ice one step at a time, and they only walked five or six hundred meters away.
Song Wei stopped and said, "It's unbearable to bear this, take a break." ”
"Okay." Jiang Ling knew that Song Wei had been condensing the earth element under his feet, and the mana consumption was quite large. Jiang Ling himself also kept an eye on his surroundings with his mental power, although he still had more than half of his mental power, but he had been nervous, and he would naturally feel tired, if he encountered a battle in this state, his combat power would be greatly reduced.
Song Wei pointed ahead, where there was a large low, blue-gray stone.
Jiang Ling took a few steps closer and swept the grinding plate-sized stone with his telekinesis, and found that the stone was even larger than he imagined, and the part on the ground only accounted for one-third, and two-thirds was underneath.
There were also a few insects hiding near the stones, but most of them were the most common kind of beetles, which were driven away by Jiang Ling with his mental power.
Jiang Ling sat on the big bluestone, and then put a potion to restore mental power into his mouth. Song Wei also stuffed a medicine into his mouth, and then observed the big stone with a fairly smooth surface, but he didn't find anything special, so he gave up.
Xi Jiu pinched his waist and looked around, and said, "There are insects everywhere, it's annoying, what do they eat to grow up?" ”
Song Wei said: "We have such a big bug on the earth, but it was in the Carboniferous period hundreds of millions of years ago, it seems that the earth has too high oxygen content, which caused the bugs to grow wildly. ”
"The trees here are also a bit taller than outside." Jiang Ling also said: "But I don't feel that the oxygen content is much more." ”
"Maybe the size of the bugs here has nothing to do with the oxygen content." Song Wei also nodded.
Xi Jiu glanced at the two of them obliquely and said, "Is it time to talk about academic issues?" I just casually asked, but now the top priority is where is the main quest? ”
"It's strange that the main quest hasn't been triggered yet." Song Wei turned his head to look at the mountain in the center of the island again, and said to himself, "Why can't it really be triggered after finding that person?" This island is so big, when do you have to find it? ”
"Or maybe something else needs to be triggered." Jiang Ling answered, took out the Qi family waist card and looked at it again.
Song Wei wondered, "Did we miss any information?" ”
Jiang Ling recalled carefully and said, "There shouldn't be." ”
Song Wei said: "Could it be that we are moving in the wrong direction, and we should go along the coastline?" ”
"It's possible, but I don't think it's likely, after all, there hasn't been any system prompting us where to go." Jiang Ling said: "We should have no problem following the direction of the Qi family elder in the battlefield preview. ”
"Then go a little further and take a look." Song Wei then recalled the plot in the battlefield trailer and pondered: "I don't know how long ago the battlefield trailer is talking about. ”
Hearing Song Wei muttering like this, Jiang Ling suddenly felt as if he had really missed something, but he couldn't remember it after thinking for a while.
"Huh?" Jiang Ling's thoughts were interrupted by a noise from far and near, he hurriedly looked up, and within a few seconds, Song Wei and Xi Jiu also heard the voice.
Jiang Ling looked at the sky to the west, and his pupils suddenly shrank, and he was shocked.
There were hundreds of huge dragonflies flying in the black! They were gathered together like a dark cloud
Come!
"Holy!" Song Wei also exclaimed, but then he said, "This dragonfly shouldn't attack us, right?" ”
There were also dragonflies flying over the heads of the three of them before, and they had no intention of attacking, but at this time, such a large group came, Jiang Ling didn't dare to guarantee that they would remain friendly, maybe this thing was the master who liked to fight in groups.
"Hide." Jiang Ling let out a low snort, then turned around and flashed to the side of the bluestone, and sat on the ground against the bluestone.
Song Wei and Xi Jiu also hurriedly hid on both sides of Jiang Ling, Song Wei didn't say a word, and first used mana to condense the soil under the buttocks of the three of them into a hardness like a stone, in case bugs came out of the ground. Jiang Ling summoned a row of vines and formed a fence to block the heads of several people.
"Will it work?" Xi Jiu asked.
Jiang Ling looked at the sky through the gap between the vines, and said in his heart: "Try it, after all, there is no suitable place to hide around here." ”
Even if the three of them were next to each other, they couldn't really hear each other, because the sound from the sky was too loud. The sound of a giant dragonfly vibrating its wings was already very loud, and hundreds of dragonflies flew together, and the sound shook the ground as if they were trembling.
Xi Jiu covered his ears and looked up through the gap. A moment later, a black crushing dragonfly quickly flew over the heads of the three of them.
Seeing the dragonfly swarm ignoring a few people, Jiang Ling couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but the next moment it tensed its nerves again. Song Wei also found out about his suspicions, and frowned: "They seem to be running away!" ”
A completely different voice came from above his head, Jiang Ling looked at it, and suddenly his body trembled, and a red shadow the size of an eagle swept by.
"What's that?" Xi Jiu was also taken aback.
"It's a red praying mantis." The speed of that thing was extremely fast, and Jiang Ling saw clearly that it was a blood-red praying mantis with golden cloud patterns on its body, which was very eye-catching.
This praying mantis chased hundreds of dragonflies, and the scene was like an eagle catching a sparrow.
"Far away." Listening to the sound getting farther away, Jiang Ling breathed a sigh of relief and untied the vines.
"What kind of demons and monsters are these?" Xi Jiu stood up and watched the black shadow fly away to the east of the island.
Jiang Ling realized something and asked, "Do you feel that the speed of recovery on this island has accelerated?" ”
"The speed of recovery?" Song Wei was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Does it mean the speed of mana recovery?" I didn't feel it. ”
Jiang Ling pondered for a moment and said, "The speed of my mental power recovery has not accelerated, but the speed of spiritual power recovery has accelerated. ”
Jiang Ling felt a little bit that his spiritual power recovery speed had increased before, but it was not obvious, Jiang Ling thought it was his own illusion, but with the release of a vine just now, his spiritual power was consumed a lot, and then he really felt that his spiritual power recovery speed had increased to a certain extent.
"Oh?" Song Wei also felt that there was something strange about this when he heard this, and said, "Could it be that the spiritual power on this island is relatively abundant? ”
Jiang Ling nodded and said, "Maybe that's what makes the insects on the island so terrifying. ”
Xi Jiu asked, "Are you saying that these insects can absorb spiritual power?" ”
"To a certain extent, spiritual power is a kind of life force, which can also be called the power of nature, and I don't think it's strange that it can be absorbed by some special creatures." Jiang Ling opened his mouth like this.
Xi Jiu said: "This worm island is really weird. ”
Song Wei said: "Let's continue to act and trigger the main quest as soon as possible, otherwise."
There is no direction at all. ”
"Hmm." Jiang Ling responded, and the three of them continued to move forward.
A moment later, the soil next to the bluestone broke, and the centipede with the golden thread on its back crawled out of the ground again, Xi Jiu said that her ice block could seal it for half an hour, but it was obvious that it had broken through the ice in only ten minutes, and followed the footsteps of Jiang Ling and the others.
Jiang Ling naturally didn't notice the centipede trailing behind him, and he cautiously continued to take the lead.
"There are fewer beetles." Song Wei reminded.
Jiang Ling also said with a serious face: "There are fewer locusts. ”
Xi Jiu was not stupid, and when he heard the two of them say this, he asked, "Does it mean that you have reached a more dangerous area?" ”
"Very likely." Jiang Ling continued: "Dragonflies, beetles, and locusts are all the lowest existences on this island, and they can only survive in large numbers on the periphery where there are fewer other more vicious insects, so we have to be more careful next." ”
"Hmm." Song Wei answered, followed closely behind Jiang Ling, and stared at the surrounding grass and trees.
After walking for about three minutes, the weeds under the feet of the three of them were obviously much looser, and there was a plant with slender leaves, short stems, and emerald green throughout.
"Look." Jiang Ling reminded in a low voice, and then raised his chin.
Song Wei followed and saw the corpse of a dragonfly.
The dragonfly had been broken into three pieces, and the cut was flat like a knife cut, and most of the dragonfly's body remained, only the head was gone.
"Eating heads? The little praying mantis is quite a picky eater. Xi Jiu muttered.
Song Wei walked over to the dragonfly's corpse, then squatted down and took a closer look.
Xi Jiu smiled and said, "It's gone, you can eat it." ”
Jiang Ling had no intention of joking with Xi Jiu at this time, he looked at Song Wei and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's been dead for a while, not the mantis just now." Song Wei stood up again, and then said, "There is a footprint here." ”
"Oh?" Jiang Ling was stunned when he heard this, and he also went over to take a look, and found that the grass next to the dragonfly was indeed bent downward, as if it had been stepped on, because the blood flowing from the dragonfly was sprinkled on it, and a footprint was faintly visible.
"Looks like we're going in the right direction." Song Wei spoke.
"Hmm." Finally found a clue, Jiang Ling also breathed a sigh of relief, glad that the three of them did not take the wrong road.
Song Wei said again: "This person walks very carefully, if it weren't for the blood of this dragonfly falling on the blades of grass, we wouldn't have found this footprint." ”
"I wouldn't have found out without you." Jiang Ling sincerely admired.
"You're really good at observing." Xi Jiu couldn't help but praise it.
Song Wei was a little flattered and not surprised, but said: "Maybe it's just a hint from the system, let's move on." ”
The three of them took another step and continued in the direction of the footprints.
For about two minutes, the three of them didn't see a single bug, and this abnormal phenomenon made Jiang Ling very surprised and a little uneasy.
"Could it be that all the insects here have been killed by the Qi family elders?" Jiang Ling thought so secretly.
A moment later, a loud bang came from the front of the three people on the left, and about three hundred meters away, a cloud of smoke and dust rose.
Jiang Ling's eyes froze, and he said, "Let's go!" Go over and take a look. ”
