Chapter 45: Terrible Creature
People are always accustomed to crushing a bug to describe the weakness of the opponent and the ease of defeating the enemy.
But the most dangerous creatures in nature are not the behemoths with fangs and claws, but the little bugs that humans consider weak.
The poison of the South American "Cocoyi" insect weighing only one or two grams is more than 10 times more poisonous than that of the cobra, and the poisoned arrow made by applying it to the arrow can still kill people after 10 years.
The "Death Bug" in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia instantly generates a powerful electric current enough to electrocute an adult camel to death.
Never underestimate bugs!
Chi Hua just suffered this loss.
Chi Hua didn't believe that these flesh-and-blood insects could block his sword. After a knife did not cut through the shield composed of black insects in front of him, he still did not stop, and one after another flashes of cold light slammed into the shield.
The insects on the surface of the black shield kept wriggling, and each time the knife slammed into the shield, the shield stepped back a little, and the shape of the shield surface made some changes.
In this way, the black worm is breaking down and removing the force of the knife slash on the shield.
After Chi Hua's more than a dozen blades, Gadar and the shield in front of him had withdrawn for dozens of meters, but the shield was still not completely cut by Chi Hua. Thousands of worms fell from their shields by the sword, but that was a drop in the bucket for a room full of bugs.
Chi Hua frowned, the field of ability opened, and the invisible sword intent bypassed the shield and directly attacked Gadar behind.
As soon as Chi Hua's sword intent moved, Gadar felt it. Countless insects fell on Gadar's body, completely enveloping his body.
Gaddar's body grew twice as if he had put on a black full-body armor. However, the armor is alive and can adjust its thickness and shape in real time.
Like the shield, Chi Hua's sword intent was still unable to cause damage to Gadar after slashing at the armor.
"Go!" Gadar let out a soft snort, and the black insects all over the room pounced on Chi Hua and the others.
Hardy hugged Chi Hua's thigh, and Delen grabbed Chi Hua's arm again.
Chi Hua shook his head helplessly, but the movements in his hands did not stop.
The metal liquid gushed out of Chi Hua's hand, and soon a puddle-sized piece of water gathered under his feet, and quickly extended in all directions. Wherever the liquid metal flowed, all the black insects crawling all over the ground were caught in it.
A layer of invisible sword intent was protected around Chi Hua, the fine knife flashed, and countless black insect corpses fell to the ground.
Cutting insects with a knife is similar to using a cannon to fight mosquitoes, and Chi Hua can withstand such a massive consumption of abilities!
"No matter how many bugs there are, they are still bugs, and a big man is still afraid of bugs?" Finally found Delen's weakness, Chi Hua naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and did not forget to turn around and laugh at Delen when he was fighting.
"I'm not afraid of bugs, I'm a phobia of intensive!"
"Is there a difference?"
Chi Hua was still arguing with Delun proudly, and a sudden change occurred, and countless clicks sounded.
In search of prestige, the source of the sound came from above the ground. The black worms trapped in the liquid metal were actually devouring the metal quickly, and many of the worms had already escaped from the liquid metal and continued to crawl towards Chi Hua.
The mutation not only came from above the ground, but the black worm in the air also figured out the boundary of the sword intent net after countless temptations, and no longer rushed in randomly. Instead, like an army, it spread layer after layer on the periphery of the sword intent net, forming a black cylinder that went straight from the ground to the top of the stone hall, surrounding Chi Hua and the three of them in the middle.
The black worms began to huddle in the air, forming black balls the size of basketballs. These black balls were formed like cannonballs smashed into the invisible knife net.
Chi Hua's sword intent accelerated in vain, and the fine sword rays slashed at the black ball layer by layer.
As the insect corpse fell, the black ball was rapidly getting smaller, but it was still carrying the knife and protruding inward.
When the black ball flew in front of Chi Hua, it was only the size of a baseball. A knife swept over, and the black ball completely dispersed, but more than a dozen small black insects that were still alive pounced on Chi Hua and the three of them.
The insect falls on the exposed skin and bites when it opens its mouth, and its fine teeth that can devour metal bite directly through the flesh and begin to devour. When it lands on the armor, it begins to gnaw at the armor, burrowing into the body along the gaps in the armor.
Chi Hua and De Lun have two layers of armor inside and outside to protect themselves, and they are okay for the time being, and Hadi, who has no protection, has already let out a heart-rending cry.
Chi Hua was slightly distracted, and several black balls broke through the net of knife intent again, and more and more insects pounced on several people.
"Chi Hua, hurry up and find a way, otherwise we will be eaten by these bugs." Delenn roared.
Chi Hua raised his hands upward, and the liquid metal on the ground quickly rose upward, forming a hollow metal pillar connecting the ground to the roof in the blink of an eye, completely isolating the three of them from the black bugs.
The black insects that were isolated outside all pounced on the metal pillar and began to gnaw, and the clicking sound was unusually harsh.
Chi Hua pressed the inner wall of the metal pillar with his hand, and the metal liquid in his hand flowed, thickening the metal pillar by dozens of centimeters before he stopped and began to deal with the black insects inside.
The tiny blade flickered, killing the insects that pounced on his body.
Look at Delen again, he is using a delicate knife to cut the insects that pounce on him, and he can kill a worm with a sharp cut. You must know that Delun is a third-order powerhouse, and the power of his sword is enough to cut the skin of a second-order fierce beast, but now he is dealing with a bug.
And Hardy was still rolling on the ground and howling, but no matter how much he rolled, he couldn't shake off the insects that were biting him.
Chi Hua grabbed Hadi up, tore off all the clothes on his body a few times, and shouted: "Stand up straight, don't move!" ”
Out of fear of Chi Hua in his heart, Hardy's body trembled and stood up straight with the pain in his heart.
The tiny blade flickered again, killing all the flesh-devouring insects that crawled on Hardy's body.
In just a dozen seconds, dozens of wounds had been bitten out of Hardy's body, each wound was the size of a pinball, and the flesh inside had been eaten up and was bleeding out.
The blood is bright red, but fortunately these little worms are not poisonous. Chi Hua stuffed an evolutionary crystal nucleus into Hardy's mouth, and with the ability to replenish, the bleeding would soon stop.
Chi Hua suddenly felt a little itchy on his hands. When he raised his hand, he found that he also had two coin-sized bite wounds on his wrists, and the blood was no longer flowing.
Chi Hua didn't expect that even he was bitten by these little insects.
Now Chi Hua finally knows why Hardy is so scared of Gadar.
Chi Hua put one hand on Hardy's shoulder, making his trembling body gradually calm down, "Tell me, you already knew about these bugs, right?" ”
"Ghadar fed them with his abilities, and he called them 'gluttonous worms,' and they ate everything. I've seen them eat people, a person is eaten even from clothes to bones, there is nothing left, it's terrible! Hardy's body couldn't help but tremble again.
"Gluttonous insects? It is in line with their characteristics of eating everything. Chi Hua nodded approvingly, "Then tell me what weaknesses these little insects have?" For example, are they afraid of fire or light? ”
Hardy shook his head violently, "Gadar once said unintentionally that these gluttonous insects are the direction of human evolution, they are not afraid of cold and heat, and can survive in any harsh environment. ”
Chi Hua frowned, and the harsh devouring sound outside continued, and now he finally felt troubled.
"Don't laugh at me for being afraid of bugs now, do you? We're stuck again. Delen finished cleaning up the bugs on his body and raised his head to look at Chi Hua.
"Can't you do it too?" Chi Hua felt the real crisis this time and stopped arguing with Delen.
"I've already tried it, and my mental attacks are not only ineffective against these bugs, but even the effect of my attacks on Gadar has been weakened, and the bugs crawling on him are able to devour some of my mental attacks."
"It's not scientific, there can't be such a creature in the world."
"No, it's scientific, the creatures in this world are far more powerful than we think! Since the end of the world, our research institute has been conducting research in an attempt to use science to decipher the archetypes of various abilities. With the exception of a few occult abilities, all of humanity's abilities can be found in nature, including your ability to devour metal. ”
"Have you studied my abilities?"
Delen smiled, "It's your enemies who know you best." As one of the brightest enemies of the Illuminati, we have all your information. ”
"Is there really a creature that can devour metal?" Chi Hua felt incredible.
"Scientists have long identified microorganisms capable of engulfing metals, which are able to devour gold in the soil to form metal crystals in the body. It's just that these little things are too small, and the metal crystals they form can't be used. ”
Knowing the source of his ability, Chi Hua's mood calmed down. It turns out that he is not the special one chosen by God, but this ability is extremely rare.
Delen continued, "The more powerful the power, the more likely it is to come from these tiny creatures, the most terrifying creatures on Earth! For example, tardigrades, which can only be seen under a microscope, were considered to be the most vital creatures on Earth before the end of the world. It can survive in low temperatures close to absolute zero, high temperatures of 151°C, high radiation, vacuum or high pressure, and even in outer space without protection. ”
"Don't talk about these useless, how can you kill these bugs outside? If there is still no way, we can only quit. ”
Delen suddenly smiled at Chi Hua, "Why do you want to kill these bugs?" Just kill Gadar. ”
"Are you an idiot? I don't know if it's okay to kill Gadhar? The question is how to kill Gadar without killing these bugs? Chi Hua didn't have a good airway.
"Aren't these bugs able to devour metal? Let them eat as much as they want, will they be able to eat the whole Mount Kesin? After Delun finished speaking, he looked at Chi Hua with a smile.
The road is simple, and Chi Hua understands it all at once.
