400 Hunt the mother worm
Ling Qi used his divine sense to explore the cave drilled out by the Driller, and the entrance of the cave was inclined downward at a depression angle close to sixty angles, and began to lead horizontally to the outside of the city at a depth of more than 100 meters, and the insects inside were still desperately surging. He knew that the insects would not stop pouring out until the insect tide ended, so he could only continue to guard the entrance of the cave.
The other four cave entrances were also piled up by insect corpses to form a circular mountain, but it was not as regular as Ling Qi's side, and the crater here was as perfect as a work of art.
After another half hour, the insect tide finally receded, and the fighters on the walls were so tired that they collapsed to the ground. Bai Yu and Chu Hong flashed to Ling Qi's side, and then Ao Ying and Xiao Rou also reappeared.
"How's it going?" Ling Qi asked this, and casually patted some large insect corpses to collect the worm cores in them with his collection skills.
Bai Yu took the lead and said: "The buried people have been dug up, and the survival rate is less than thirty percent. ”
Chu Hong also nodded, indicating that the situation was about the same. They went to two other places where the buildings had collapsed, and with their senses they searched for the buried people and directed rescue operations. As for those who are eaten by bugs, there is no need to say more.
"We can do our best, and we'll track the bugs to the wormholes." After Ling Qi finished speaking, he took the lead and shot towards the south outside the city. In the other direction, Ao Kuan dodged twice in a row, and was already far away from the city.
"Well, someone is going to act now?" In the group of warships in the city and in the sky above, some people found that Ling Qi and the others were tracking the insects out of the city, and immediately guessed that they were going to start hunting the mother insects. In the past two minutes or so, the cold young woman and the mammoth bloodline warrior chased out of the city one after another, and then there were figures in other directions in the city and in the group of warships flashing out of the city.
Obviously, after someone starts, others don't plan to wait any longer.
Outside the city, there are many caves with a diameter of less than one meter, which are passages for small beetles. Ling Qiwu's speed was extremely fast, and he tracked all the way to a distance of thirty kilometers, only to gradually see some holes that were more than ten meters away. Reaching out with divine awareness, these caves lead far away to the mountains in the distance.
Divine Sense probes, Ling Qi looked stunned, and took the lead in chasing into one of the caves. I don't know if this kind of passage is drilled out by insects, the interior is wider than fifteen to twenty meters, there are few turns, the surface seems to be tamped and solidified by insects by special means, the cave wall is solid and firm, and there are traces of tapping wires in circles. On the wall of the cave, there are many small holes of one to two meters leading to other places.
"If it's used to build a subway passage, it's quite suitable!" Ling Qi couldn't help but have such thoughts.
They continued to move forward at a rapid pace underground. To their surprise, the bugs retreated so quickly that they hadn't caught up with them yet.
Advancing more than a hundred kilometers underground along the main passage, Ling Qi estimated that he had approached or even entered the bottom of the mountain range, and in his divine sense, he found that most of the small holes were dormant with many small beetles, so he guessed that he had approached the nest of the mother worm.
The five slowed down, exploring their path with their divine senses as they continued to go deeper. They tried not to alarm those little insects, but after advancing more than ten kilometers, two iron beetles guarded the main passage like door gods, and there were a large number of first-class insects behind them, and it was impossible to sneak into the village without shooting.
"Use lightning tactics to quickly kill and advance to avoid being surrounded by a large number of bugs." Ling Qi used his divine sense to transmit the sound to the other four, and then rushed towards the insects first. They charged too fast, causing a screaming sound that broke through the air, and it was still hundreds of meters away that caused a riot of bugs.
With two crackles, two bolts of lightning swept through the air, killing the iron beetle in an instant. Ling Qi took the lead in opening the way, and the large and small arcs in the thunder domain fired volleys, crushing all the way, leaving only insect corpses all over the place, and the four people in the rear didn't even have a chance to make a move.
A strange aura spread in the wormhole, and the swarm crawled out of the countless small caves, converging into a torrent towards the five people. It's just that no matter how many of these low-level bugs are, as soon as they enter the minefield, they will be hacked to death, and they can't form any obstacles to the five people at all.
After a few minutes, the passage became wider and wider, and most of the insects in front of it turned into iron beetles, which were also mixed with extremely agile green beetles and cockroaches with a body size of more than ten meters. In the end, the space was wide, and the five people entered the nearly 100-meter-large insect nest area.
To the confusion of several people, there were solidified mucus crystals above and around the walls of the hive, unsolidified mucus and rows of eggs on the ground, but the mother was nowhere to be found.
Eggs hatch quickly, and new larvae emerge every now and then, and the nutrients in the shell and mucus that devour the shell and mucus mature rapidly.
"Will the mother worm still run away?" Ling Qi was surprised, and shook his hand to shoot out a bolt of lightning, killing a giant jumping insect that swooped in the air. Under the investigation of his divine sense, Ling Qi saw a small amount of mucus in a passage that was diagonally downward, so he beckoned a few people to chase after him. As it swept through the air, the thunderfield thundered in unison, destroying the eggs below.
More bugs poured out of the surrounding passages, frantically pounced on the five. All of these bugs are level 2 or above, and some of them are not big but reach level 4. As long as he reached level three or above, Ling Qi would easily collect the worm core and essence worm flesh.
Chu Hong and Bai Yu will also collect insect cores, and under their divine sense, they know very well the location of the insect cores in the insect corpses, and after killing the insects, the energy sword stabs and picks them, and they get the insect cores in their hands.
After chasing out nearly ten kilometers and leaving a passage full of insect corpses, Ling Qi's divine consciousness found that a larger insect nest appeared in front of him. A cockroach-like insect two or three hundred meters long was lying in the center of the hive covered in mucus, and its wings were only a few meters long, as if it was severely degraded and had only a few features left.
"The level of this female worm must be above level five, it may have been directly transported from the rear of the Zerg, and it is impossible for a Zerg above level five to evolve here in just twenty days." Ling Qi communicated with his divine sense, and presented the scene he saw with his divine sense directly in Ao Ying and Xiao Rou's minds, as if he shared his divine sense with them.
At the same time, he carefully searched the hive to rule out the possibility of a spatial rift.
On the ground and in the caves around the hive, there are dense fourth-level mantis insects, compared to the large insect bodies of other fourth-level insect soldiers that are nearly 100 meters long, their body size is only more than four meters long, their strength is extremely condensed, and the blades are shining with cold light.
"Fortunately, there are not a large number of such insects in the siege swarm, otherwise it would really be impossible to prevent it!" Ling Qi secretly pumped cold air.
The five of them rushed into the hive, like a scoop of water poured into a hot oil pot, provoking an earth-shattering reaction. All the bugs moved almost simultaneously, pounced on the place where the five appeared.
As soon as the five of them appeared, Bai Yu and Chu Hong separated on both sides, and also spread out their own fields, holding a two-meter-long energy sword in their hands to slash the insects surging in front of them.
Ao Ying and Xiao Rou were in charge of the rear, and Ao Ying waved the dark electric energy knife in her hand to cut the insects that approached from behind her away. Xiao Rou's hand popped out sharp claw blades, which were born with an energy matrix, and after she ran the blood vein energy, it expanded into a meter-long energy claw, and with every swing, it could cut the insect into several pieces.
On the front, Ling Qi's movements were even more slow, and as soon as he rushed in, he locked onto the head of the female insect and threw a punch, and his fist glowed with blazing white light. Sensing the crisis, the mother worm jumped up suddenly and emitted a kind of infrasound wave, which did not appear much attenuation in the field, and swept directly through the bodies of the five people, causing convulsions in the bodies of the five people.
Ling Qi frowned and endured the intense discomfort as he activated the bullet time visual effects. With the blessing of divine consciousness, the effect of bullet time was enhanced countless times, and the movement of the female worm was no different from stillness in his eyes. After adjusting the angle slightly, he swiped out a blaster energy beam, which instantly bombarded the head of the mother worm.
At the beginning of the Jingyue Empire, Ling Qi used the strength of the planetary realm to hit the energy beam that could hurt the Weina of the higher realm, and now that he has reached the galaxy realm, the increase in energy intensity has greatly increased the power of the fighter skill, and the ancient thunder dragon has increased by four times, and the lethality has far exceeded that of the real destroyer.
However, the mother worm was unharmed after receiving this blow, only a little dizzy, and stopped emitting infrasound waves.
What a strong defense! Ling Qi had five fingers in his right hand, and a swarthy spear appeared in his hand, the body of the spear and the head of the spear were integrated, and there was supreme power in the low-key. He dodged, appeared on the huge head of the mother worm dozens of meters with a thunderous roar, and stabbed the head of the mother worm with the help of speed with both hands.
With a pop, the spear easily broke through the mother's defenses, and most of it sank into the mother's head.
Ling Qi was shocked in his heart, this spear was a demigod weapon that had been captured from the spatial ring of that Hidden God Clan's disciple, and it had a name called "Kaishan". He hadn't studied the key array of the refining spear yet, and even the matrix inside the spear had not been activated, and it already had such a huge power, no wonder it was named "Kaishan".
The nearly 100-meter-long blood bar above the female worm was violently discharged, and it was instantly reduced by half. Ling Qi felt that the mother worm still had strength to struggle, and in order to prevent it from absorbing the life essence in its body to heal its wounds, he summoned a huge amount of electrical energy and poured it into the spear, hoping to form a lore like the first time he killed the mother insect.
The next moment, the part of the spear that sank into the mother's body suddenly stimulated a powerful energy explosion effect.
Rumble!
Under Ling Qi's incredulous eyes, the female worm's head was blasted out of a giant hole more than ten meters deep, and the blood bar was also exhausted.
"This is the passive effect mentioned in the appraisal conclusion, there is a certain chance to trigger the explosion damage, and the power is huge!" Ling Qi was ecstatic, worthy of being a demigod artifact, and after he refined it, the power was terrifying.
"It's a pity that the way is not right, and I can't use it openly!" Ling Qi sighed secretly in his heart, but the movements in his hands were not slow, activating the collection skill again and again.
As soon as the mother worm died, the remaining bugs of this clan became even more crazy, flying five people in a suicidal manner, and even Ling Qi, who was standing on the female worm, was also attacked intensively. He drew his spear and stabbed out one spear after another to kill the insects, while continuing to collect life essences.
After a moment had passed, when the captain's system prompted that the target did not exist, Ling Qi obtained thirty-seven drops of life essence. Ling Qi felt that this number was not right, the female worm that was only at the peak of the second level last time had all provided eighteen drops, how could this female worm that was at least level five not even be doubled?
He shifted several positions to continue collecting, but was told that the target was still non-existent. However, the amount of essence insect meat is extremely large, and a large piece weighing one ton can be obtained every time it is collected, and it seems that the proportion of nutrient-rich insect meat in the female worm's body far exceeds that of other insects.
"The Life Essence must have consumed some of it when breeding those eggs!" Ling Qi thought of the eggs that had been destroyed in the first hive, and guessed the reason, so he no longer dothered.
After researching the data, he knew that the eggs were not produced by the mother worm, but were generated in vitro under the auspices of the mother worm with the unique life rules of the Zerg, or organic synthesis was more appropriate. In this process, part of the life essence needs to be consumed, and a drop of life essence can produce thousands of insect eggs. The mother has supreme life authority for the worms she has produced, and can kill all the worms at the slightest thought.
Ling Qi left the mother worm and helped destroy the surrounding insects while collecting the worm cores.
Chu Hong saw Ling Qi come down to kill insects, and said in amazement: "Go find the essence of life, we can bear it." ”
"I've already received it, and it's only thirty-seven drops." Ling Qi told the truth and did not hide the quantity. As teammates, Chu Hong and Bai Yu can both get a share of the spoils.
Bai Yu was surprised and said, "So fast? But there are so many very good, I heard that some teams are tired and tired to kill the mother worm, and the life essence has also been absorbed by the mother worm, and it is a waste of hard work. ”
"Well, the old immortal of truth led the team to hunt a female worm of the same level on the edge of the wild area, and he didn't get any fart." Chu Hong also said.
The insects seemed to be endless, and the five of them had been killing for four hours, and the insect corpses had almost filled the insect nest, so they evacuated while killing.
