Qi Lin continued to grope his way through the underground forest, due to the presence of the Frost Dragon, there were no large mutated creatures living in this forest, but a brightly colored, single beetle the size of an egg almost caused Qi Lin to capsize in the gutter.

When these beetles land on top of the black soil, their carapaces become similar to the dark color of the soil, and only when they attach to the colorful mutant plant leaves, the carapace becomes colorful.

This ability is very close to the chameleon, Qi Lin is just not paying attention, and was attacked by a beetle that fell from the top of his head, although the beetle is small, but the mouthparts are very sharp, directly tearing the clothes on Qi Lin's arm, leaving a very obvious bite mark on Qi Lin's elbow.

Although the beetle was immediately shot to death by Qi Lin, with a tingling sensation coming from the wound, Qi Lin only felt that his consciousness began to become blurred, and his vision seemed to be covered with a mist...... Immediately after, a large number of beetles appeared from all directions and rushed towards him frantically!

This scene will certainly not be unfamiliar to those who have seen the "Mummy" series of movies, these colorful beetles are like the overwhelming scarabs in the movie, and any living creature will not escape wherever they pass......

Qi Lin had already taken out a plasma grenade from his pocket, and just as he was about to pull open the ring and throw it out, the mastermind's voice suddenly sounded.

The mastermind's voice seemed very distant, as if it was 108,000 miles away, and as if it was talking to Qi Lin from a different dimension, and it was faintly inaudible...... But Qi Lin's ears have succeeded in capturing a very key word - "hallucination".

"These beetles...... Is it a hallucination? ”

Looking at these beetles that had rushed in front of him, Qi Lin took a deep breath, put the plasma grenade back, picked up the assault rifle, and smashed it at the nearest beetle with the butt of the gun!

"Poof—"

The butt of the gun smashed a small hole in the soft soil, but other than that, nothing hit.

There were no beetles on the ground at all, and the sea of insects that came like a tide just now didn't know when it would have disappeared - if Qi Lin hadn't resisted the pressure and threw the plasma grenade out just now, I'm afraid the only result he could get would be to wake up the frost dragon located deep in the forest in advance.

"Is it really a hallucination?"

Qi Lin immediately thought of the fact that he had just been bitten by a beetle, and looked down, only to find that the wound on his arm was gone...... Not only that, but even the torn sleeves have been restored.

"Boom! Boom! Knock ......"

At this moment, the ground shook violently, Qi Lin thought that the Frost Dragon had appeared, but when he looked up, he saw a giant beetle more than ten times larger than the size of the Frost Dragon, the back of this beetle was almost tightly attached to the roof of the volcanic cave, and every step it moved, it would bring a tremor that was no less than a seven-magnitude earthquake.

But this time, Qi Lin was no longer panicked, he knew that he was still in a hallucination...... Quickly took out an antidote serum from the backpack and plunged it into the muscle in his arm, and as the serum was slowly injected into the body, all the illusions began to crumble, the ground no longer trembled, the giant beetle disappeared, and the layer of mist that had been covering Qi Lin's eyes gradually dissipated.

Qi Lin glanced at his arm again, the damage to the sleeve had not healed, and the wound from the beetle had already scabbed.

"It's a phantom beetle."

The mastermind said to Qi Lin, this time, its voice sounded directly in Qi Lin's ears, and it no longer seemed so distant and ethereal as when Qi Lin was in the hallucination just now.

"A beetle that can hallucinate?"

"The name has two meanings, first, the phantom beetle's genetic sequence is very similar to the chameleon, so it can change the color of its carapace at will, thus forming a wonderful camouflage, second, the phantom beetle's venom contains a large number of hallucinogens, which will gradually drag the poisoned prey into the abyss of madness, so that the prey will fend for itself in the illusion, of course, if the spiritual awareness is strong enough, people will not be affected by the illusion, and can get rid of the illusion on their own, It's just that because your Concentrated Energy Vortex is restricted, your mental power is at a lower than normal level, so you will be hit. ”

"But this bug's hallucination is a bit clumsy, how can such a huge beetle not make such a huge movement until it appears in front of me? Anyone with a little brain will know it's fake, right? Qi Lin said with some disdain.

"The illusion created by the phantom beetle's venom is not fixed, but will be randomly generated based on the memory fragments in your brain. If I hadn't reminded you, I'm afraid your plasma grenade would have been struck. ”

"Uh...... Speaking of which...... That scene feels very similar to some of the clips in the movie "The Mummy" that I watched before, and that scene once left a lot of psychological shadows on me when I was a child, could this illusion change from these clips? Anyway, if I hadn't seen that movie, I wouldn't have had such an illusion, right? ”

"Not necessarily, after all, this kind of footage is not limited to "The Mummy", various sci-fi movies and even games, scenes of monsters abound, how can you be sure where the hallucinations come from? The phantom beetle's venom will unearth the things you fear most, and gradually escalate this fear, causing the prey to spontaneously act devastatingly, and when the prey is exhausted or suicidal, it is time for the phantom beetle to feast. The Mastermind said.

"But when I wake you up later, you already realize that you are hallucinating, which is why the second hallucinations seem so unreal...... Because you've subconsciously taken that 'giant beetle' as an illusion. ”

"That means, if you hadn't called me, I'd probably be in a frenzy right now, right?" Qi Lin said with some fear.

"Yes, humanity never knows how terrible it will be when the fear of one's heart is fully excavated, and in that case, even the most determined person will do something extremely crazy."

"Then I think the venom of this phantom beetle is very useful." Qi Lin nodded thoughtfully, "By the way, this kind of insect shouldn't be unique to this underground forest, right?" ”

"Not only that, just in the territory of Huaxia, I have found this phantom beetle in four areas with high radiation concentrations, of course, compared to the scarce number of phantom beetles, you should be very familiar with its subspecies - Nightmare Celestial Beeral."

"Huh? Is the Nightmare Beetle a subspecies of the phantom beetle? But speaking of which, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with it......"

Of course, Qi Lin, the great name of the Nightmare Heavenly Bull, had heard of it, not only had he heard of it, but all the slightly more senior players in the "Wasteland Survival Code" knew about this kind of mutant insect the size of a palm, with a pitch-black appearance and two white tentacles.

As we all know, one of the raw materials of the famous drug "Jet" in the wasteland world is the hallucinogenic mushrooms that can be seen everywhere in the radiation area, the hallucinogenic mushrooms are chopped, and the juice pressed out is mixed with double-headed cow dung ground into powder, and then after high-temperature steaming, it is made into a finished Jet, which only needs to take a small sip to make people enter a state of fluttering immortals.

However, this is only Jet's recipe at the beginning of the "Wasteland Survival Code", and later a pharmacist discovered the mutated insect of the Nightmare Skyhorn and tried to replace the hallucinogenic mushroom juice with the body fluids secreted by the Nightmare Skyhorn, and the result was a new type of Jett that was more powerful, lasted longer, produced extremely realistic hallucinations, and became highly addictive and terrifying.

It's just that the new Jet has one of the most obvious differences from the original Jet, that is, after the original Jett smokes, it produces just a hazy illusion, but the new Jet will make people fall into a nightmare that they can't extricate themselves from - two of the five people who tried the new Jet committed suicide, one went completely insane, and the remaining two also took a long time to get rid of the terrible dream - despite this, for a long time after, both of them were in a state of delirium, the personality has also become very eccentric.

While the new Jett cannot be sold as a drug-like consumable, players quickly discovered another use for the potion...... Intimidation, torture, torture, etc......

"If I have the opportunity next time, I'll have to find a way to get some phantom beetles...... The Nightmare Celestial Bull is already so perverted, the toxin of this phantom beetle is much stronger than the Nightmare Celestial Bull, maybe it will come in handy at some point......" Qi Lin said with palpitations - although his concentrating vortex was in a suppressed state, his spiritual power was still much stronger than that of ordinary people, and even he was tricked, so if ordinary people were bitten by the phantom beetle, it was estimated that there would be no way to wake up.

"If you need phantom beetle toxins, I have a few bottles in my inventory." The Mastermind said, "But what are you going to do with this thing?" ”

"Poisoned, do you still need to ask?"

"This toxin is too chicken to be immediately lethal, and it can't make the enemy lose resistance instantly, what's the use?" The Mastermind asked rhetorically.

"Imagine that if one of the soldiers in a squad suddenly becomes poisoned and he starts attacking everything around him, isn't the formation of this unit disrupted in an instant? And as the number of chaotic people increases, the effect will also be greatly improved, isn't this much more powerful than directly poisoning people? ”

"That will only work on humans or proto-mutated creatures, not robots and biochemical modders with controlled brains, and most of the enemies you'll have to face in your next mission will be the latter two."

"Okay, but ......"

Qi Lin wanted to say something, but at this moment a violent noise came from the depths of the forest, and Qi Lin hurriedly dodged and hid behind a thick tree trunk.

This time it wasn't an illusion, and the only one who could make this noise was the frost dragon.

The Frost Dragon's body covered with pale scales soon appeared in Qi Lin's field of vision, which made Qi Lin's heart almost reach his throat - at first, he thought he had been discovered by the Frost Dragon, but soon he found that the Frost Dragon had not even noticed himself lying in the bushes less than twenty meters away.

Dragging the injured leg, the Frost Dragon limped to the mouth of the vertical passage, and in the process, its body smashed through countless trees, and its claws and belly crushed and crushed a large number of mutated plants—it did not follow the "forest path" that had been carved out, but chose the shortest straight route.

This Frost Dragon...... Looking panicked?

With a vigorous flap of his wings, the Frost Dragon rushed directly out of the vertical tunnel, but Qi Lin was surprised to notice that with the departure of the Frost Dragon, the vibration of the ground became more and more obvious!

It's not an illusion...... This is definitely not an illusion...... This shaking ......

"Grass!"

Qi Lin couldn't help but curse a dirty word, jumped up from the ground, and began to run wildly in the direction of the vertical tunnel—he finally realized the source of the tremors...... This volcano is not an extinct volcano at all, but a dormant volcano!

And now, the volcano is about to erupt!

The Frost Dragon had a premonition of this, and dragged its injured body to escape desperately.

"Damn, that's fucking good luck!"

Judging from the lushness of the underground forest, this dormant volcano may not have erupted for hundreds of years, but it did not erupt early or late, but it began to erupt after Qi Lin got in, which made Qi Lin feel that he had been pitted by the mastermind again......

"You can't blame me, the eruption time has been fixed since the training program was written, you are just just unlucky, and according to the original plan, you should not enter the belly of this volcano, this dormant volcano eruption originally had nothing to do with you." The mastermind seemed to know what Qi Lin was thinking in his head, and explained in a very innocent tone.

"Forget it, I don't have time for you to talk about this - how much time is there until the final eruption?" Qi Lin asked loudly as he ran.

"16 seconds - that's the amount of time it takes for the magma to break out of the crater, and the time you get submerged in the lava will probably be about 5-6 seconds ahead of the surface."

"That is, I have ten more seconds, right?" Qi Lin didn't care that he would be discovered by the Frost Dragon at this time, the concentrated energy vortex was at full power, and the running speed of the whole person was already extremely fast!

"Eight seconds, standardly."
