【Chapter 239】 The Resonance Crystal of the Scythe-Blade Worm

Luna rubbed her face with her hand and added, "Now that I think about it, I still feel sick." Anyway, it's scary in that hole, I've never seen such a huge bug. ”

Strange sounds, uncomfortable to get close.

Clearly, there is some kind of evil power sticking out of the cave. Qin Song frowned and pondered, the appearance of the Zerg here made him a little surprised. But it was just an accident, and in this world full of ancient gods, the battle between each other lasted for an unknown amount of time. In the passage of time, the spheres of influence of all parties will obviously change.

There is a clear difference between the Zerg and the Orcs.

In Qin Song's memory, the setting of the Zerg obviously borrowed from a variety of elements, including the Zeg Zerg of StarCraft, the Achinis Zerg of Starship Clan, the Angela Zerg of World of Warcraft, the Tyranid Zerg of Warhammer 40k, and even the widely circulated Xenomorph.

In short, while this hybrid Zerg gathers the strengths of each family, it also maintains the most typical characteristics of the Zerg - the IQ is generally low, the reproductive ability is very strong, and it is good at tidal cluster attacks, just like bee colonies and ant colonies, it has a unified consciousness, and the low-level alien insects are controlled by the high-level alien insects.

The most terrifying thing is that the Zerg never hesitate, they are extremely fast, merciless, desperate, and strictly carry out instructions, and their coordination ability is beyond imagination.

And behind the scenes of the Zerg, there is also an ancient god - the god of a thousand beards and a thousand feet.

Undoubtedly, he is also one of Qin Song's opponents.

One day, they will meet each other and compete for supremacy.

But now, according to normal calculations, with the reproduction ability of the Zerg, as long as the high-level Zerg like the Juggernaut, the Mastermother, the Mastermind or the Queen survive, they will soon be able to develop a Zerg army. But in recent decades, there has never been a trace of the Zerg in the Black Rock Canyon.

This does not fit the characteristics of the Zerg.

Perhaps, as Elena said, this is the graveyard of the Zerg, and they are long gone.

In other words, it is likely that this place, like the orc ruins, has been abandoned for an unknown number of years. As for the evil power that is still spreading terrifying and strange sounds, Shiyou仈Jiǔ is extremely precious—the star ascension prop.

Thinking of this, Qin Song's heart became excited, among the current five witches, only Alice and Linda had completed their star ascension. And apart from the unknown props in the new altar in the orc city, there has been no clue to the star ascension material for a long time.

The ascension of the star is of great significance to the witch.

This is also the reason why props are relatively rare.

"Qin, are you okay?"

Seeing that Qin Song was silent, the four little witches all looked nervously, the dark and deep cave itself was easy to make people feel anxious due to claustrophobia.

"This will be a lair for the Spider Demons, who are the key to our resistance to the Orcs. "Precious star ascension materials must not be let go. Qin Song made a decision in his heart: "Any hidden danger may lead to unpredictable things. So, I wanted to see it for myself. ”

This grand and tortuous cave is fully in line with the requirements of breeding spider demons. At the same time, it is extremely hidden so that it does not cause panic among ordinary people.

"Elena, do you remember where that fork is?"

"Hmm. Elena nodded, "We marked it all the way, it was Linda's proposal. It's so weird after all. ”

"You're doing a great job. Qin Song nodded with satisfaction: "Let's go, I'm going to see it myself." ”

"Hmm. ”

Under Elena's leadership, the group groped their way along the underground riverbank, and after turning a few complicated and tortuous forks, a half-collapsed boulder appeared in front of them. Elena stepped on a boulder and pointed to the darkness ahead: "There are stones to obscure it, and the light of the torches does not shine." I also accidentally glanced at it, only to find that there was a hole in it. ”

"Wait a minute. Qin Song suddenly frowned, came to the collapse, and gently touched the wall with his hand, there were dozens of grooves on it that seemed to have been torn by a sharp blade, each of which was as long as thirty-four centimeters.

Alice came closer with a torch and said in surprise, "Qin, these marks, like some kind of claw marks, look sharp." ”

"Yes. ”

The materials for ascending stars contain evil powers, which even witches cannot bear. For the sake of prudence, Qin Song turned his head and said seriously, "This should have been the lair of some kind of evil creature. Perhaps, there is some kind of evil force left. Alice, Linda, Luna, Elena, I think you should stay here and let me go in and check it out. ”

"Ah, how can this be?" Alice was a little anxious: "Qin, I'm not afraid of danger. ”

"We're not afraid!" the other three witches said in unison.

Qin Song felt a warm current in his heart, and smiled: "You misunderstood, it's not a matter of guts. Alice, I have confronted a powerful evil. I know them, that kind of evil can often linger for hundreds of years and thousands of years. The kind of evil that lurks in the dark is often beyond human imagination, and even corrodes people's minds, bringing great harm to people's spirits and bodies. This kind of corrosion is often invisible and unpredictable, as Elena said, the strange sound may be a manifestation of evil. ”

"And you, the divine power in your body is in a new state, and it is not stable enough. Once it is corroded by evil, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

"What about you?Qin?" Alice's face was full of worry: "We can't afford to lose you!"

"I understand, Alice. Qin Song gently patted her weak shoulder, and in the swaying firelight, the little face was full of attachment: "That's why I have the form of a child of the stars." In the glorious civilization of the stars, our ancestors faced such evil countless times, and the form of the stars was born. This form is a natural protective shell that protects against corrosion. ”

Then, Qin Song took a deep breath, and the light in his eyes became more and more intense: "And I am the last bloodline of the son of the stars, facing evil is my responsibility, it is the meaning of my existence, I can't retreat, I must move forward." ”

The tone is calm, but there is a kind of self-sacrificing spirit.

The witches looked at him in amazement, and an indescribable respect welled up in their soft hearts. In their minds, Qin Song's image is not an anomaly, but a hero wearing armor in order to face evil.

"Well, I see!" Alice nodded lightly, took out the pocket version of the orc hunter from her waist, and handed it to him: "Qin, take it." ”

"Qin, come on!" Luna clenched her small fist and puffed, "The stars will not be extinguished, and the temple will last forever." ”

Linda and Elena also nodded and said in unison, "The stars are immortal, and the temple will last forever." ”

Taking the shotgun from Alice's hand, Qin Song swept them over their faces one by one: "Remember, no matter what sound you hear coming from inside. Don't panic, let alone rush in, evil corrosion is everywhere. I'll be fine, rest assured. ”

Taking a deep breath, Qin Song stepped on the gravel that led to the fork, and calmly stepped into the darkness under the nervous gaze of the witches.

There were many collapses in the cave, resulting in a small space, and there were even more rocks under his feet, and there was even a lot of moving gravel above his head, accompanied by his footsteps, rustling, as if the gravel would fall.

After walking cautiously for a while, Qin Song finally saw the big shriveled insect in Luna's mouth. It was a shell similar in size to the Hive Spider, with a spindle-shaped dorsal armor and two broken forelimbs that resembled a scythe obliquely scraped in front. The position of the head seems to have been smashed by some blunt object, and it is impossible to see what it looks like.

Gently tapping the insect shell with his hand, there was a hollow sound, and it seemed that the flesh and blood inside had already rotted.

After walking not far beyond the insect shell, Qin Song suddenly felt some kind of spike-like object buried in the floating soil under his feet, and squatted down to remove the dust that had been deposited more than ten centimeters deep, revealing a rusty almost rotten giant hammer.

Zerg don't use weapons, their limbs are natural weapons. Judging from the fact that this giant hammer is nearly a foot and a half hammer, it is not something that humans can control, but it looks like a blunt weapon used by orcs.

Perhaps, the wound on the head of the worm shell was the work of the giant hammer.

As Qin Song continued to go deeper, more and more fragmented insect shells appeared, and there were hundreds of dense ones, almost all of which were the same as those at the entrance of the cave, belonging to the carapace-shaped, giant scythe-forelimb Zerg. As the number of Zerg corpses grew, more and more rusty weapons of all kinds appeared, such as axes, sledgehammers, spears, maces, and meteor hammers, all of which were huge, as well as many mutilated orc bones.

There is no doubt that there was a great battle between orcs and insects here.

Then, Qin Song heard the kind of sounds described by Elena—rubbing, buzzing, creaking, some like iron scraping stones, some like mouthparts chewing on carapaces, some like bees flapping their wings, some like swallowing food, and all kinds of sounds alternately.

As the sound continues to get closer, there are more and more types of sounds, and if you listen carefully to distinguish them, you will find that there are more than a dozen kinds of sounds, and the frequency of them is very regular.

If you are an ordinary person, you may have unbearable tinnitus at this moment, and your mind will turn upside down. And Qin Song, who is also an ancient god, has no waves in his heart, and his voice is very clear, but it has no impact on his sanity.

In the end, Qin Song found the source of the sound in a circular karst cave full of insect corpses and orc bones—a giant insect three times the size of an ordinary alien insect, half-buried in the rubble, and around the insect corpse, there were more than a dozen orc skeletons lying horizontally and vertically.

Circling around the insect corpse, Qin Song saw the power of the insect for the first time, on its insect shell, there were all kinds of huge gaps, and nearly half of the six lower limbs were broken, Rao was so, its terrifying giant scythe forelimbs nailed a pair of rusty iron cuirass to the ground, and the orc skeleton under the iron armor was larger than ordinary orcs.

The sound was emanating from the body of the alien insect, and after Qin Song's careful distinction, the exact location was finally determined in the chest cavity under the alien insect's mouthparts.

Swing a rusty axe blade and slash it. The carapace, which had long since decayed, cracked like an eggshell, revealing a dark purple crystal, half a meter long, fusiform as a whole, with many scale-like lines on the smooth surface, and the tail end of the crystal seemed to be connected to a fan-shaped chitinous organ.
