Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Hunt Ends
This kind of evolution is a temptation on the verge of death.
At first, only one hand was extended, and the body was still within the safe range. But that hand can only grasp the sting of the insect queen, and it is far from enough to get close to it. You can only move forward again and again, and each time you move one point closer than the previous one.
But as the distance between me and the queen of worms closes, the probability of me being killed in seconds also increases.
Once again dragging my badly injured body back to safety, I collapsed to the ground and asked Mina, "How long has it been now?" ”
"No, I feel like there should be ......," Mina thought for a moment, "three hours." ”
"I don't know where Zuo Yuan and them will be now."
"Maybe they've been killed." Mina sat down next to me and gently massaged her injured body.
"No, he can't be killed."
"Huh?"
"It's a scam. I always felt that Zuo Yuan had an unusual relationship with this dark covenant. You know, as I kept testing this worm, the feeling I felt after the worm made me more and more sure. I still have an idea, maybe when we met for the first time, Zuo Yuan knew that Du Youlan was the child next to me. ”
The queen of worms has a very simple way of attacking, but it's not that this thing is stupid, but it gives me a feeling that the other party has reservations. Maybe it's already clear, and I'm trying to use it to evolve myself. So until the critical moment, it won't be easily used against me, enough to kill me in an instant.
This feels like Zuo Yuan.
And thinking of this, I also remembered another thing, "Why did Zuo Yuan recognize you as Du Youlan?" "Before this, I was very concerned.
Mina responded: "Du Youlan has countless faces, and when facing Zuo Yuan, I use it the most. ”
"Countless faces?"
"Well, it's similar to transfiguration, but it's a little more powerful. That woman is a witch, and she knows a lot of things. ”
"But with just one face, it should be difficult to deceive Zuo Yuan."
"That's right, if it's another person with my face, I'm afraid I can't fool him."
"Then why can you?" I asked.
Mina smiled: "Because Lan and I have known each other for almost seven hundred years." ”
"It's the past. But speaking of which, that Wei Heng and I ......"
I was about to talk about it, but Mina suddenly interrupted me, "These questions are not so important now, leave here, and talk about it later." ”
She was clearly trying to hide something.
She knew what kind of connection existed between that Wei Heng and me.
But why should she hide it?
"Zole, I've also discovered the problem you said, and so far, I can only walk to the middle of the safe zone and the queen of insects, and then ...... You're not going to be killed, are you? Mina completely digressed the subject.
I don't like to force people to say something, because what I don't want to say is also a lie.
"Who knows......" I crouched on the ground again, looked at the worm that was very far away from me, thought for a moment, and I replied to Mina: "However, just go a quarter more distance, and it will be enough." ”
"Listen to you say that, you've already figured out how to do it?"
"Hmmm......"
"What method? When you go in, find a rope to save me? Mina crouched down, her voice a little curious.
I turned my head and looked at her suspiciously: "It's alive, how can I drill its ovulation organs." Are you crazy when you say such things? And, who told you that I was going to go on my own? ”
"And what's your approach?"
"I mean, a quarter of a quarter of the way forward, and you're sure — kill it."
Stand up.
It's a wonderful feeling.
I suddenly remembered what I had said to Zuo Yuan before, I said that I was a hunter.
I've never been a hunter and I've never hunted, so I never understood and didn't think about that feeling.
But now there is.
It took me three hours and hundreds of suicidal explorations to finally find the weakness of the thing in front of me. The moment you kill it, this wonderful feeling will be perfectly sublimated, right?
I had a longing in my heart, longing for that feeling to come......
"Your emoji ......"
Mina's voice suddenly drilled into my ears.
It pulled me back to reality for a short time from that feeling.
"What's wrong with my expression?"
Mina didn't answer me, but smiled, "It seems that you are also an ordinary person, and the insect poison still invades your brain." ”
If it had been before, Mina's words would have worried me a lot.
But now, it doesn't seem to be so serious, his lips moved, and he subconsciously said, "I don't accept it, I don't refuse." ”
"What are you talking about?"
"Nothing."
With that, I walked towards the border.
"Did you perceive its weakness, and you haven't told me exactly how you're going to kill it?" Mina asked.
I took a step forward, "You should have found out a long time ago, right?" The thing on top of its head is its weakness. With that, I began to run at a rapid pace, and once again rushed to the queen of worms!
Above its head, Mina's light source.
……
I've already walked half the distance before, and I'm testing the bug, and the bug queen is also testing me. During this time, it simply attacked me with its thorns, but the frequency of the attack became more and more rapid as I got closer to it. Now I can already walk to the middle of our distance, and at this violent trend, another quarter of the distance is the extreme, and it will be really annoying.
And that's where it's hardest for me to get back and escape.
So, that became the tipping point.
The realm of life and death!
……
I tried twenty-five more times, and I was only one step away from the realm of life and death.
I entered the attack range again, and rushed towards the insect queen as I had done before, but before the final limit, I stopped moving, and a thorn flew towards me, piercing my chest directly!!
"Zoraku!!"
Behind me, I heard Mina's shouting in the distance.
"Don't move!" I yelled, my hands moving in unison, one pulling out my dagger, and the other making an OK gesture to Mina behind me.
I've been wondering what the queen would do next if I was stabbed in the torso by this sting, or if I was injure. The obvious answer is that if you are hungry, you will drag food in front of you.
I'm a full three-quarters of a way to it, and the last section, if I want to get close to it instantly, requires a tremendous catapult force. I don't have that much strength, even if I am alienated, I can't do it. So I had to be shot by it, and the next moment it was shot, it jerked its tentacles, felt the force, and the moment it pulled its body, I immediately cut off the stab with a dagger!
At the same time, with the force of his feet downward, his body flew up like a cannonball! Diagonally upward!
Reach the highest point and fall in a slope!
A perfect parabola, impartial, shot at the head of the back of the worm!
The pain drove the queen mad, and the mouth shot wildly, but none of them shot at me in mid-air, and they all shot directly at the ground where I had last stayed. Dozens of frantically smashed into that position, and in an instant, dust flew up!
Broken stones even splattered me in mid-air.
And that's the weakness.
It's blind.
Surrounded by pitch black environment, it doesn't need vision at all.
Actually, I should have thought of it a long time ago. Why is it that Mina, me, and all the monsters that were here before, once they get close to the attack range, they will attract the attack of the insect queen. But Mina's two illuminators had already flown overhead, but the queen didn't move.
The queen is extremely fast, and when I first grabbed its sting, I threw it in the direction of the other sting, and it had every chance of bypassing it and attacking me again.
But it wounded itself.
That's not a mistake because it's not visible at all.
If you can't see it, how can you catch me? In the previous nearly 130 attempts, I gradually found that even if the movement of the upper body remains the same, once the distance between the feet is a little off, its offensive trajectory will change accordingly.
So, it's the ground.
The ground is its "eyes"!
Maybe it's a tremor, maybe some of its tissues are all over the area, but that doesn't matter. As long as I get off the ground, the queen can't sense where I am at all!
The parabola has finally come to an end!
I faced the hideous huge head, my body was alienated in an instant, and my hands and claws were like sharp blades, cross-slashing!!
Bang!
I fell to the ground on my knees.
Before I could look up, streams of mucus were spraying onto my body.
The next moment, the huge insect head rolled down in front of me, and the body of the insect queen twitched violently, gradually paralyzing. I grabbed the worm head with my alienated hand, "The hunt is over." ”
It was a wonderful feeling.
