Chapter 82: The Heart
A sour smell of rot came to my face, like pork in the sewer that had been discarded for months!
The furious willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, but it was not because of this taste, but... The energy that supports the entire hive is already eyebrow-raising, and these insects are "desperate" for their lord one by one, as for whether they are voluntary or directly killed, it is not a matter of madness.
The surrounding "houses" are connected to blood-red pipes, and insect corpses are constantly being transported here, pouring down, and accumulating layer after layer around the blood pool.
Sometimes they don't need to be corroded by blood pools, and they are eaten away into slag by high-strength concentrated acids.
Hold your breath and retreat outward, the most important thing now is to find the insect that is about to advance, this kind of hive that uses second-order creatures as reserve energy, although it will be common in the future, but now... Tsk, that's a luxury.
As for the insect crystals on it, Kurumi didn't want to be in trouble, there was thick acid everywhere, and if he accidentally corroded a piece, it would be worth the loss.
Continuing to walk inside, the oppression of the breath became heavier and heavier, and there were no less than five things similar to the "blood pool", and I am afraid that the second-order insects in several cities in close proximity were all summoned as sacrifices.
As long as this third-order peak insect can be taken down, it will be able to spend at least half a month in peace in the future, and even if the elders in its insect realm sense it, there will be no way.
Does it dare to assert its strength and risk its way to Earth through a rift in space? I'm afraid it's impossible.
Kurumi had already reduced his heartbeat to the minimum, and even his breathing was very weak, only the burgundy eyes were getting deeper and deeper.
This area is not very big, even if you choose the detour of the hole, with a strong memory, the 3D image simulated in your mind, I fully believe that I am now close to the center of the hive.
In the original book, there is not much introduction to this thing, so Kurumi is not very clear, but these bugs are definitely not as fierce as the real "Zerg", otherwise, she has been locked by the mother emperor from the first step into the scope of the hive!
And this thing, Kurumi looked at the flesh sacs on his head that were sometimes bright and sometimes unbright, compared to the races that crisscrossed the universe, they were like primitive creatures in prehistoric society.
Restraining the breath of the whole body, the consumption of herself is greater, the sweat drops fall to the ground, and the hair on her forehead sticks to it, and Kurumi feels that she is about to arrive.
It's not an accurate instinct, but if you feel it, it proves that something must happen.
Tightening the twilight morning star in his hand, the pitch-black body of the spear seemed to be devouring only a trace of light, no matter how high the temperature was, it had no effect on it, and now holding it was like holding a large block of ice.
The oxygen content in the air is decreasing, and there are more other substances, which is probably helpful for the bugs' advancement, but the path of Kurumi has become more difficult.
"Knock, knock!"
Like the sound of a huge heart beating, there was a wide room in front of him, and Kurumi squinted his eyes, his long eyelashes soaked in sweat bent slightly, and then suddenly rebounded, and a drop of sweat smashed on the red flesh.
"Knock knock knock!"
The "heart" was beating faster and faster, and Kurumi covered her chest with her little hands, and she didn't feel the soft touch on it at all, and now her heartbeat seemed to be synchronized with the hive!
This is not a joke, such a fast beat, even Kurumi can't last long, his palms are clenched deeply, as if he wants to grasp his heart in his hands, and he barely recovers his heartbeat with amazing control.
But at all times, you have to devote more energy to keep your heart beating normally.
The breath became slightly heavier, and he moved his body, slowly approaching the "heart" of the hive.
It's hard to conclude whether the worm is in it or not, and what is the "heart"? The central supply of the hive? Or something else?
Cautiously leaning out and looking inside, a strange green heart was reflected in the burgundy eyes!
The thick and thin pulses of the python wriggled on it, and the red pipes that extended in all directions seemed to transmit energy, constantly supporting its beating.
The frequency is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, but there is no regularity at all, and when I look carefully in the room, there is no insect, and my eyes are slightly narrowed, as if I want to see through the contents of the "heart".
No matter what it is, it's not a good thing for Kurumi, and what you think is bad is, of course, to be destroyed!
Twilight Morningstar was raised, fingers rubbing lightly against the trigger, and Kurumi hesitated.
What if you don't have this thing, and the unknown bug is still an advanced lord? What if it doesn't matter? What should I do if I am found?
Just when Kurumi couldn't make up his mind, the "heart" suddenly sped up! Just like a small electric motor, "dong dong" jumps non-stop!
At that moment, Kurumi's eyes suddenly spread, his body leaned forward unnaturally, and the muzzle of the twilight morning star was directly pressed against the ground, only to stop the tendency to fall.
"Ahem..."Wiping the blood from the corners of her mouth, her heart was beating with the strange thing in front of her just now!
If it were an ordinary awakened person here, he would have died directly just now!
After a few breaths of relief, the green was still beating, the speed was getting faster and faster, and the blood vessels were stretched high, as if they would burst open in the next moment!
shook his mentally stinging little head, his burgundy eyes gathered again, and a terrifying aura rose directly! Covers the entire hive!
Shi Yi and the others were cold, this... It's the lord!
The momentum oppression at close range made it extremely difficult for the three of them to move, and the surrounding insects had already woken up, and they saw Shi Yi and the others on the edge of the insect nest at a glance, but under the authority of the Zerg Lord, they had to lie on the ground reverently.
This is not only the coercion of the superior to the ordinary zerg, but also the respect for the newborn lord! What's more, that person's bloodline is...
Sakura-kun Kimmura is anxious, lest something happen to the maniac, although they have only been together for a day, she is full of affection for this girl who is about the same age as herself.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have followed her on an adventure, she seems to have a fatal attraction...
The coercion of the lord level is quite terrifying, although I haven't seen any size of worm, but it is definitely in the location of the hive! The close-range oppression made the flesh under Kurumi's feet sink a few points.
Fortunately, it's just a beginner that has not been advanced to completion, and the realm is unstable, and it can fall back at any time!
Kurumi gritted his teeth, raised the twilight morning star with trembling hands, and pointed the muzzle of the gun in the direction of the blood-red pipe!
"Bang ——"
The tube connected to the "heart" is constantly bursting, bursting out of green disgusting liquid! The reddish ground was stained green, but in the next moment, the liquid was sucked up!
