Chapter 4: The Lair

Watching the remnants of the sandworm's half-cut corpse slowly decompose into fluttering points of light and disappear to the ground one after another, Lei Jingtian couldn't help but frown, the difficulty of this task was indeed beyond his expectations.

However, for a determined sniper like Lei Jingtian, there are always more ways to solve problems than difficulties, and now that he has found a way to lure out the sandworms, the probability of completing the mission is still very high.

It took a lot of effort to leave the oasis and go around, and I hunted a desert antelope again.

However, when he implemented the same strategy to trap insects, it failed, and he lurked on the sand dunes for two hours and no sandworms came out to hunt. As a last resort, he dismembered the antelope and cut a few pieces of meat back for lunch.

When he returned to the Oasis Lake, the hole that the sandworm had drilled out suddenly aroused his curiosity.

The diameter of the sandworm's bucket was only about one meter, but the diameter of the large hole it opened was more than one and a half meters. Looking inside from the outside of the cave, it is dark and dark, like a bottomless mine tunnel.

Lei Jingtian squatted at the entrance of the cave, reached in with his hand and touched the wall of the cave, the tentacles were firm and smooth with a little sticky feeling, he judged that this should be when the sandworm was walking underground, pressing the broken soil tightly to the surroundings, and then the mucus secreted by the body stuck to these mud and sand particles, so that the hole did not collapse after the sandworm disappeared.

A very bold idea suddenly jumped into the thunderous mind, since these sandworms are all active underground and it is difficult to lure them out, can you simply go in and find them yourself? You might be able to find their nest through the hole that the sandworm has burrowed into the ground.

Lei Jingtian knew that his idea was undoubtedly very risky, and with his current combat power, it was likely that the result of drilling into the unknown underground would be that there would be no return, but the adventure gene in his blood that had never faded continued to stimulate Lei Jingtian and finally made up his mind.

Packing up the backpack tent and filling the sniper rifle and pistol with bullets, Lei Shocking grabbed the RPF1500 in one hand and the glow stick in the other, which was usually necessary but was used for the first time, and bent down and rushed into the hole.

Soon he was plunged into endless darkness.

In the long tunnel, the glow sticks that have been adjusted to energy-saving mode can only shine at an area of about three meters around them, and the strong earthy smell fills the nasal cavities, and only the footsteps made by themselves when walking are accompanied by thunder.

After advancing a few hundred meters along the tortuous tunnel, Lei Jingtian clearly felt the changes inside - the position of the tunnel was gradually descending, coupled with the smooth ground, the body that bent over and groped almost couldn't restrain the rush forward, and it was necessary to support it with his feet so as not to lose his balance.

Lei Jingtian simply let it go, he held the RPF150 in his arms, leaned on his shoulders and sat directly on the ground, and propped back with his free right hand!

The difference in location makes the smooth tunnel the best slide, and the thunderous sliding forward smoothly is much quicker and less labor-saving.

The faster he slid forward, the faster he slid forward, and then it felt like he was riding a roller coaster, and when there was a hot feeling in the butt area, Lei Jingtian felt that something was wrong, which was the embodiment of the combat uniform being worn out!

However, at this time, things were beyond his control, and after turning around in a large circle in the tunnel that was bending and spiraling downward, some anxious thunder shocked the sky and felt his body light, as if he had suddenly been thrown into the void.

Worst! He immediately threw away the illuminated glow stick in his hand, bent his body in the air, and quickly pulled out his military thorn with his right hand and stabbed it to the right.

The thorns rubbed against the stone wall and made a dazzling spark, and his whole body fell down at the same time.

Rumble!

In just a few seconds, he fell heavily to the ground, and his eyes were full of stars. Luckily, there was soft sand underneath, and he used military thorns as a buffer, so the injury was not serious, and he only lost about a hundred HP points.

Struggling to get up from the ground, Thunder found himself in a huge cavern.

The cavern is so large that it is surprisingly littered on the ground with countless white cobblestones that emit a soft glow on the walls, making the whole space not pitch black.

The hazy glow makes the thunder staggering, as if you are in the starry night sky. He looked up and saw an endless darkness overhead, the stars flickering upwards into nothingness. And there are many large and small round holes on the walls of the cave high on the surrounding area, and the style is exactly the same as the tunnel drilled out by the sandworm that fell from the sky.

This could very well be the nest of a sandworm! Lei Zhen subconsciously looked at his watch, the time was displayed as 12 noon, and all the GPS navigation data showed the initial state.

After carefully looking around and making sure that there were no sandworms around, Lei Jingcai carefully picked up the glow stick he had just discarded from the ground, and grabbed a glowing stone that was half-submerged in the sand.

When he saw it in front of him, he was stunned for a moment - the information transmitted to the horizon by the identifier that came standard with the helmet showed that this was the task product of this mission, and he almost hung up and didn't get a piece of the sandworm nucleus!

Scattered on the ground, as well as the countless cobblestones embedded in the walls of this cave, all of them were sandworm nuclei crystals! Lei shook his fist excitedly, it turned out that this task had a secret trick, if he didn't dare to enter the cave, he might not be able to gather 100 nuclear crystals after staying outside for a month!

And now the nuclear crystals are almost at your fingertips, and the thunder is joyful, and all the nuclear crystals on the ground are put into the backpack, and I don't forget to count the numbers: 1, 2, 3...

By the time he picked up the 58th sandworm crystal, the vast cavern floor had been swept away, and no other one could be found.

Naturally, Lei Jingtian focused on the nuclear crystals on the cave wall, but then the problem came, the closest nuclear crystals to the ground were also more than four meters high, and coincidentally, these nuclear crystals were embedded in the edges of those sandworm holes.

However, this question did not bother Thunder Shock, although he could climb up with the help of the uneven position on the cave wall, but it was too time-consuming. And he has a better method, a method that only a sniper can use.

Picking up the RPF150, he unloaded the armor-piercing magazine and replaced it with a normal sniper bullet, and the sniper rifle aimed at the wall of the hole more than ten meters.

Crisp gunshots rang out one after another, and the broken stones were mixed with glowing sandworm nuclei falling one after another. How can you enter Baoshan and return empty-handed, Thunder Shocking Heaven will never be satisfied with just getting 100 pieces of mission, maybe these nuclear crystals can be exchanged for a lot of credits.

Just as he was in the middle of the fight, the wall of the cave on the left side of the thunderous sky suddenly began to tremble, and this unexpected situation made him immediately stop shooting.

Not only the cave wall on the left side started, but almost the entire cave was shaking, and the thunder was so bad that he immediately gave up his attempt to continue shooting down the nuclear crystals, he quickly disassembled the sniper rifle and put it back into the gun box and carried it on his back, and then hurriedly picked up the sandworm nuclear crystals that had fallen to the ground.

The shaking was getting louder and louder, countless small particles of stone powder and sand fell, and Thunder, who was bending down to pick up the nuclear crystals, had already heard the screams of sandworms coming from overhead.

Apparently it was his gunfire that alarmed the potentially unknown sandworms, who crawled towards the burrow, and definitely more than one.

It has reached the most critical juncture, and it is estimated that the number of nuclear crystals picked up is definitely more than 50 pieces, and the thunderbolt rushed to the edge of the cave wall with his backpack and began to climb up.

The hole he fell from was about four or five meters above the ground.

Luckily, it's only four or five meters tall!

………

5:58 p.m., K199 land destination.

The triplane was fully charged, the huge engines roared, and the hatches on both sides were all open. The hundreds of players gathered around couldn't wait and rushed in.

When everyone got on the spaceship, Lei Jingtian, who was sitting next to the Lu Aviation Lamp, slowly spit out the last puff of smoke.

Extinguishing the cigarette butt on the ground, he walked towards the nearest hatch.

As soon as the forefoot stepped into the cabin, the thunder was shocked to hear a sharp siren sound from the cabin, and the indicator lights hanging on the roof of the cabin flashed wildly.

"Warning! Warn! Discover alien creatures! Discover alien creatures! ”

In front of everyone's eyes, seven or eight folding energy guns suddenly stretched out from the left and right positions of the hatch and the top of the front side.

The muzzles of the guns that glowed with blue light were all aimed at the thunderous vital parts!

A relaxed smile suddenly froze on his face, and he didn't dare to move in the slightest, he knew very well that these energy guns, or energy cannons, were of such a huge caliber.

Definitely be able to kill him to the slag in 0.1 seconds!
