14. Go deep into the hive
The air in the hive was stinky, sticky, damp, and undoubtedly poisonous, and I wrapped myself in a layer of shadow, still unable to counteract the discomfort.
It's dangerous, ordinary people die early here, and even in hell, there are few places where people are so sick and afraid.
I heard a creaking sound, like countless insect feet rubbing against each other, winding past the ground, which made me scan my surroundings. The voice grew louder and louder, as if it were some kind of language, some kind of warning, some kind of notice.
The web of madness detected hundreds of thousands of souls, which were low and weak, but they could be closely connected, like the web of madness, and wisdom was born. I've walked in the web of madness, so I can feel the horror of it.
Further on, I became more alert, and I saw large insects with greenish-purple shells and fluffy and spikes, as if cockroaches, flies, and lizards had magnified thousands of times.
They didn't move, and I realized that it was the shell of the worm, which was even more creepy. This insect shell is dead and stiff, quietly lying there, representing the death and rebirth of the worm, and is the grave and monument of the worm.
I saw Abel stretching out and touching the shell of the worm, and my heart was furious, and there are always such foolish people in the world, who are self-righteous and bold, and do all kinds of abnormal and disgusting things, trying to attract the attention of everyone, or prove some meaningless courage, satisfy their own despicable curiosity, and end up harming others and themselves.
Suddenly, some insects flew out of their shells, opened their feet, and hugged Abel's face. In an instant, Abel's body was covered with a layer of blood-colored hair, crushing these face-hugging insects into minced flesh and juice. More facehuggers emerge from up, down, left and right, and pounce on us, their shapes identical to those in the movie Alien, whether it's an evolutionary coincidence or a human creation - perhaps the researchers here are loyal viewers of the Aliens.
The worms avoided the mask and only attacked me, was it because my face was too handsome? I summoned the Devouring Old Man, and he opened his mouth and swallowed all of these face-hugging worms, which frightened the weak souls, and they ran away.
How do I feel that Abel and I are more like monsters than these bugs? Maybe we're overleveling, but this quest isn't difficult for us. Fortunately, there is a mask that drags its legs, like a patch that balances the difficulty.
But the demon worm was not interested in him at all, as if he had opened some kind of plug-in.
More voices rang out, shuttling over the high cavern, stirring between the viscous walls, at first dense and frequent, chaotic and disorderly, but gradually becoming regular, loud as a sonata of a storm, like an invading torrent of steel.
I said, "It's a big guy." ”
Abel: "A lot of big guys. ”
Ten tall demon insects appeared at the entrance of the cave, they looked like a combination of lizards and cockroaches, and they grew shiny feathers on their bodies, and they had to admit that they looked very beautiful, if it weren't for the natural aversion of humans to insects, they would not be more ugly than peacocks.
The insects opened their mouths and protruded tube-like organs from them, and from those organs, spewed out a green liquid that easily melted the stone and grew mushrooms in their place, which were very corrosive and full of viruses, which had no scientific justification.
Able appeared behind the lizard-worms and slashed them into pieces.
Me: "Watch out for Venom!" ”
More venom burst out of their bodies, Abel bathed in venom with an indifferent expression, I knew that I was worried in vain, he was an alien who couldn't even blow up a nuclear bomb, and his blood might be a hundred times more poisonous than these venoms.
Further inside, the hive became a vast world, and we seemed to have reached the outside of the cave, stepping into a dark valley, because the top of the cave was no longer measurable, and there might be a distance of hundreds of meters from the bottom to the top.
The stone in the cave had an eerie, curved shape, and the light was purple, and I even felt like I was walking under a round of purple sun, only to realize soon that it was the light emitted by the slime secreted by the insects on the wall. The light seems to have a hypnotic effect, making people emotionally relaxed and hallucinating, and the cave becomes a magical stone forest, clothed in a fantasy color, making people think that there may be a fairy haunt.
We are trekking through a world of demonic insects, they build houses that belong to their aesthetics, they arrange decorations that conform to their philosophy, they worship primitiveness, they worship power, they worship violence, they worship labor, I see order in the chaos, I see faith in the terrible patterns.
Perhaps, the human soul has influenced the demon insects and given them intelligence. Or perhaps, they have intellect and their own understanding of the world.
More lizards stared at us from the mountains on either side, on the distant plains, in the hidden jungles, and some of the face-hugging insects crouched at their feet, like children who had not grown up. In the twilight sky, there were a number of dragonflies in scale armor, each at least a meter long.
There were also larger, house-like insects, floating in the air, their bodies colorful like rainbows, and their feet hanging down like sky-blue tassels.
These demons have built their home underground, a home that even demons dare not trespass, and they have a certain respect for the more violent, more ferocious, more unreasonable, and more organized races.
It can't be explained that the Emperor of the Epoch is shy away from this place, he is eager to get the secret of the demon worm, he is happy to see more people awaken from the demon worm's brain fluid, he hopes that human nature will fall and strengthen the belief in hell, and he also has enough power to catch more demon worms from here.
At the moment, the Demon Worms are keeping a wait-and-see attitude towards us, and the news of our invasion has undoubtedly spread, and they already know that we are not easy to deal with.
Abel: "Where are we going?" ”
Me: "There won't be an emperor of demon worms here. ”
Mask: "Yes, but it's just a female worm, an empress." ”
I was taken aback and asked, "Empress?" How do you know? ”
Mask: "I used to know her. ”
I asked, "Do you know.... The Mother of Demon Bugs? ”
The mask raised his head, the corners of his eyes moistened, as if he remembered some sad past.
I wondered, "Could it be you.... You're so good at this? This is... Is it externally controlled? I can't believe you are such a shameless person! How does she look? ”
Mask: "She's beautiful. ”
Immediately I had an image of a beautiful, unclothed maiden, covered in a layer of scales that could never fade, convex and backward, but walking like a goddess, her long hair dismembered like a worm, like a gentle finger, touching my skin, my flesh, unzipping me, and using her two sausage-like lips towards my deep ....
Isn't this a copy of the game's Kerrigan?
I asked, "How do you know her?" ”
Mask: "She's my friend and considers herself my sister." ”
Abel frowned and said, "Your sister? ”
Mask: "No, she's mistaken, I'm not related to her." ”
Abel: "That has nothing to do with me. ”
I sneered when I heard this, and secretly thought that this Abel was really dizzy, and would actually think that the mask might actually be Cain? The strength of the mask is obvious to all, how can it be the source of the evil that killed him?
Cain deliberately threw out a pretense, and Abel believed it.
Abel was on the first floor and Cain was on the second floor.
I, on the other hand, was on the fifth floor.
I've seen through everything a long time ago.
I sneered and squinted at Mask and Abel, but they didn't look at me, nor did they notice my secret eyes, which disappointed me, and my hot heart quickly went cold.
