Chapter 15: A Strange Ritual

"Are you sure you can eat it?" Nicole was still a little worried, after all, the blood of this giant beetle was so poisonous, was it really okay to eat its flesh?

"Qin Hao, can you give me a taste too?" What Qin Hao didn't expect was that Lucia was still a foodie, and she even wanted to try the meat of the giant beetle.

"Forget it, don't eat it, I'm used to eating gutter oil, ordinary poison can't hurt me, you be careful of diarrhea." Qin Hao waved his hand, he was immune to insect poison to dare to eat so much, as for Lucia and Nicole, forget it, what if they ate something good?

"Oh!" Lucia pursed her lips in disappointment, but she didn't force it anymore, because by this time Nicole was already warning her with her eyes not to come nonsense.

"Quack...... ......"Qin Hao gnawed the worm's leg loudly, he was like peeling a sugar cane, tearing off the carapace outside the worm's leg with his mouth, and then feasted on the white meat inside.

"Humph! It tasted so good, I was hungry too......" Lucia muttered with a small mouth.

"Let's get out of here." At this time, Nicole also felt that the place where the incident happened could not be left for a long time, and once the insect swarm surrounded them, they would not be able to leave.

"Hmm!" Qin Hao nodded, and then walked forward first.

It had always been Nicole who had opened the way before, because she felt that she was a special soldier and the most experienced person in combat among the three, so even if Qin Hao was a man, she couldn't let a cook serve as a scout.

But now it's different, after seeing Qin Hao's vigorous posture and amazing combat effectiveness, Nicole no longer treats him as a cook, this guy is even more powerful than the top soldiers in the special forces, so the responsibility of pathfinding naturally falls on his head.

Qin Hao used the alloy long knife to open the way while gnawing on the insect legs in his hands, his appearance was extremely strange at this time, because he was not only holding a worm leg in his hand, but also carrying a few behind him, obviously he was using these insect legs as battle rations.

"Ugh!" Soon, an adult-sized thigh-thick worm leg was gnawed by Qin Hao, and after a full burp, he patted his stomach with satisfaction, and the terrible hunger finally disappeared.

"It's really edible, I'm afraid ordinary pigs can't eat you......" Lucia, who was hungry, couldn't help but complain.

"Okay, bear with me, when we get to Z3 Heights, I'll get you something to eat!" Qin Hao comforted, because he unloaded all the food he was carrying when he rushed out with Ralph, otherwise he wouldn't be hungry and gnaw on the worm's legs, he had brought a lot of private goods at the beginning.

"Okay......" Lucia nodded reluctantly.

Qin Hao, who was full, felt that his whole body was full of inexhaustible strength, so he kept wielding the long knife, overcoming obstacles and moving forward, much faster than when Nicole opened the way.

"Oops! If you slow down, no one will be able to keep up. "Lucia is just a medical soldier after all, and although she is equipped with a powered exoskeleton, she can't keep up with Qin Hao, who is moving forward.

"Okay." Qin Hao nodded, and then reduced his speed, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that something was not quite right in the atmosphere around him.

"Shh Qin Hao motioned for the two girls behind him to be quiet, although Lucia didn't understand much, but before she could ask, Nicole on the side stopped her, and then took her to hide behind a big tree.

Qin Hao moved forward cautiously, trying not to make a sound as much as possible, although the terrain was complicated, and it was not easy to walk silently on the ground full of fallen leaves and branches, Qin Hao still kept the sound he made as low as possible.

......A small sound came into Qin Hao's ears, and he picked up a branch in front of him and looked forward through the gap between the leaves.

"Hiss......" Qin Hao couldn't help but take a cool breath, because there was an army of Zerg marching in front of him.

These insects are disciplined, led by two giant beetles with bronze horns, leading more than thirty giant beetles on the way, and among these giant beetles are also protecting two larger zergs - plasma worms!

"Where are they going?" Qin Hao's brows were furrowed, but he didn't have the slightest impulsive move, although after the strengthening of the Zerg gene, Qin Hao had a physique far beyond ordinary people, but with an alloy long knife, if he wanted a monotonous insect swarm of this scale, it was also death, so Qin Hao could only choose to observe quietly, and he didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, for fear that the enemy would find out his whereabouts.

"Trampling on the ......" Just when Qin Hao was puzzled, those insects suddenly stopped advancing, which startled Qin Hao.

"Did they find me?" Qin Hao was even desperately prepared, but those bugs obviously didn't notice his existence.

Soon, Qin Hao understood why these bugs had stopped, because the two plasma bugs in the middle of the team had begun to mutate!

"me, these bugs can still play like this?!" Qin Hao didn't scream, because right under his nose, two plasma worms lay on the ground, and then their buttocks were facing the sky, blue arcs flashed back and forth on their bodies, and the giant beetles that were responsible for guarding around them spread out to both sides, protecting the plasma worms from being affected by the current.

Seeing that the current on the two plasma worms was getting stronger and stronger, the two plasma worms suddenly leaned together, and then their bodies actually began to merge!

"What is this? Is it a fit? Qin Hao wondered in his heart.

After the two plasma worms merged into one, their bodies began to soften, and finally completely fused together like a liquid, and at this time, those giant beetles were also vigilant, and it seemed that this strange ritual had reached a critical moment.

Gradually, the plasma worms that had merged completely melted into a blue liquid ball, and Qin Hao on the side could clearly see that something seemed to be constantly wriggling in the liquid ball.

"What the hell is this?" Qin Hao's heart became more and more confused.

But at this time, another Zerg team arrived, this team was composed of eight giant beetles, but these giant beetles actually all had bronze horns, and one of the giant beetles had a human on its forefeet!

"Ahh You bed bugs, you have what it takes to kill me! The human let out a heart-rending howl, and although he had been impaled through his body, he had avoided all the vital points, so he did not die immediately.

"Squeak...... Squeak...... "After a brief exchange between the bugs, the giant beetle carrying a human came to the blue liquid ball.

"Smack!" With a flick of the beetle's forefoot, the human was thrown into the ball of blue liquid.

"Sneer...... Snort...... "The liquid ball was filled with electric light, and a strange sound came from inside.

If you have to describe it, it is like a person who is tortured with his mouth covered, and he wants to scream but can't make a sound, only a low whine, and the sound of a beast gnawing at its prey.
