The eyes of the king worm are full of anger and resentment, if the gaze can kill, I may have been killed a hundred times.

But I'm not afraid, this is a choice that I can't escape, and I don't want others to take advantage of me, so I can only end up together. Although there is still unwillingness, people must face despair, which is the normal state of life.

There's always something you can't get; There's always an answer, and you can't solve it.

I lifted Ruan Nana's head, threw it at the king worm, and then roared: "Here you go! Don't you want it?! Take! ”

"Whew!!" The wrath of the king worm has reached its extreme.

But strangely, it never showed any intention of attacking me, it moved its body back and forth, and suddenly jumped to its feet, stabbed its limbs into the top of the cave, and crawled along the rocks towards the hole it had drilled out before. The action was unwilling, but helpless.

What does that mean?

I couldn't understand it, but I found that the monsters around me were also abnormal at the moment, they were paralyzed on the ground, twitching, and their bodies were also switching between monsters and humans, slowly but continuously. Occasionally, the human face has an unusually painful expression.

"That's, what's going on?" I was a little confused, looking up at the king worm that had already burrowed into most of its body, and suddenly realized one thing, the king worm infects humans and spreads the population, and it doesn't seem that this kind of ritual is not necessarily needed, such as Guan Hao and Ruan Nana, they can already be alienated into monsters, but they have not experienced the ritual before.

As for Ruan Nana's side effects, I won't mention that for the time being.

Therefore, the ritual recorded in the relief is actually focused on the replacement of the body of the king insects.

In other words, finding a brand new body is its ultimate goal.

Why find a new body? Most of the time it was due to a previous physical problem, or aging, or a serious injury, but in short, it is not something that can be overconsumed. Then its inexplicable retreat, perhaps, is to stop the loss in time and not to make any meaningless consumption to the body.

This insect has a very high IQ and is unusually calm, and will not get carried away by anger.

It knows that even if we get out alive, our bodies will be infected by worms. The side effects that occur in Ruan Nana's body will eventually appear in us as well. At that time, because of the fear of death, we may also gather a group of people in desperation, return to this cave, complete the ritual, and be reborn.

It doesn't have to kill me and keep me, but it is equivalent to leaving more opportunities for itself.

So, it went back to the cave completely, as if it had never been.

"Uncle, let's be saved, let's ......" Yao Qianwen and Cheng Haidong supported each other and walked towards me, while Guan Hao, Xia Nan, and Guan Dawei seemed to have gradually lost all their vitality in the process of recovering their human form.

I nodded, "Maybe." ”

"But we still can't get out......"

I shook my head: "No, if my guess is correct, the way out maybe, soon it will appear in front of us on its own." ”

"What are you talking about? Do not understand. Yao Qianwen looked at me inexplicably.

But I'm not talking nonsense.

The ritual of changing the body of the mother worm can only be done in this cave, at least for now. But the mother worm will never live all her life just to change her body, and she can't stay here forever.

What it wants is to spread, to spread the parasite, more widely!

That's the instinct of living beings.

So, the time I lost my memory, it took a group of fourteen to get out.

Just as my idea came to me, I suddenly felt the cavern vibrate, and the slime pool behind me suddenly made a splash, splashing the liquid in the pool on my back!

The original pool was actually split in two at this moment, and cracks appeared in the ground!

In the crack, there is a staircase that extends downward!

"It's ......!" Yao Qianwen's eyes were extremely frightened, "What is this?" ”

"Don't panic, this should be the way out I said."

"Are you sure?"

"Not sure, but very likely. It just doesn't seem like this crack will last long, presumably when the mechanism opens to some extent and then closes...... You take Cheng Haidong first and go below, there is about an eighty percent chance that you will be able to leave here. ”

"Really...... Are you sure? Yao Qianwen looked at me with a look in her eyes, full of distrust.

"Girl, I didn't design this place, and it's useless for you to ask me more. But if all my assumptions are fine, this is the exit. If you stay, you're bound to die, so you'll have to make a choice. ”

Yao Qianwen turned her head and looked at the open pit, and finally decided to go down the stairs.

It's just that halfway through, Yao Qianwen stopped her steps again, turned around and looked at me suspiciously: "What about you?" Why don't you go? ”

"There are some things that I haven't found yet, and I can't leave now."

"Didn't you say you'd be trapped if you stayed?"

"It's possible, but the things I want to find, for me, are more important."

Yao Qianwen squinted, and after a while, she spit out five words: "For Sister Mermaid?" ”

"If you don't go down, you'll have to be trapped with me, do you still want to be trapped by me? Well? I reminded her.

After hesitating for a moment, Yao Qianwen nodded: "Well, since your decision is like this, then I can only wish you good luck." However, if you can get out, there will be a lot of trouble, after all, everyone has been poisoned by the insects in this cave. ”

"I know, but what do you want to say?"

"I want to say, if you can really come out, take this coin to the country of Latin America (a fictional Southeast Asian country) and find a woman named Du Youlan. Maybe she can help you detoxify. ”

As she spoke, Yao Qianwen threw the coin engraved with the crystal orchid at me.

I held it in my hand, and there was a chilling sensation in my palm.

"Huh? Ay?? That's ......" Cheng Haidong, who had been calm for a long time, seemed to be stupid again at this moment, pointing to the coin in my hand as if he was going to say something, but at this time, the crack had begun to close!

Yao Qianwen forcibly pulled Cheng Haidong and fled down the stairs before the crack closed.

I pinched the coin, thinking of Cheng Haidong's appearance just now, I was suspicious, "This kid seems to be looking for something before." It's hard to do it, it's also ......"

"Woohoo!!"

A sudden roar behind me interrupted my thoughts.

Then, I was struck down by a tremendous force! It's biting at my back like crazy! The pain made me scream, but fortunately the dagger did not fall far away, I grabbed the dagger and stabbed it indiscriminately behind me, as if it had stabbed the thing in the head, it was painful, and the pressure on me was suspended, I seized the opportunity, rolled over and retreated, out of the control of the thing.

After I got up, I found out that the guy who attacked me was actually Guan Hao!

He wasn't dead yet, his body was half a monster, half human, his expression was painful, the dagger just now probably hit the head of his monster part, and now he was holding his head, looking at me cruelly, his mouth made a strange sound of "cooing", and he said intermittently: "Zole...... Assist...... Zora! My Everything...... Everything was taken away from you...... I...... To make you ...... It's better to live than to die!! ”

Although only half of his body is a monster, his movements are faster than before!

Like a vicious beast pounced on me, it pushed me to the ground again!
