Chapter 15: Underground Wormholes

"Shut up!" Xu Mo was frightened into a cold sweat by Xie Qian's suddenly amplified voice.

It's not easy to make noises from the ground, but for tactile beetles, the slightest strange sound can alarm them. There were many times when both of them felt the rustle of beetles crawling as if they were right next to them, making them dare not gasp, and the horror was inhumane.

The two of them have now dug to a depth of tens of meters in the underground lair, and there are more than a dozen original insect paths that have been cut off by them. The rock formations in the ground were so solid that the soft mud they excavated had to be rolled to the sides, but fortunately the gaps between the rock formations were large enough to contain the soil.

However, the entire tunnel is of different thicknesses, and getting up is like burying themselves alive, as soon as they touch a narrow area, their health will slowly drop, if it weren't for the law body, ten Xu Mo and Xie Qian would have suffocated to death in it.

"Looks like there's a light source ahead!" Xu Mo was surprised to feel that the low-light night vision device on the steel mask had worked, and saw a faint light shooting out of the small hole dug in front of Xie Qian.

Xie Qian has always been at the forefront because of the help of the Buddha's pupil, and he can see things clearly in a dark tunnel. As for Xu Mo, he could only crawl behind Xie Qian like a headless fly, and he didn't know how many times he had desecrated Xie Qian's ass. At this time, with the help of low-light night vision devices, I can see some of the surrounding situations clearly, and I can't help but have a feeling of being reincarnated.

"Get out of the way a little and let me see!" Xu Mo brutally squeezed Xie Qian aside, trying to put the Predator's head on the small hole in front. However, the tunnel is too narrow, and the two of them are now almost flesh-to-flesh, their limbs are entwined, and their postures are more ambiguous and ambiguous.

Xie Qian regretted it in his heart, he was already used to the smell of mud on his body, but now that he was squeezed so brutally by Xu Mo, he completely felt like a nameless corpse that had been rotting for half a year and had just been dug up. I had to hold back the churning vomiting sensation in my stomach, hold my breath resignedly, and lie under Xu Mo on all fours.

"Found it!" Xu Mo saw through the small hole that emitted a glimmer of light and saw the situation inside the huge cave in front of him. Although Xie Qian's Buddha pupil is easy to use, the visual distance is too short, and it cannot be compared with Xu Mo's low-light night vision device.

"Is it really a female worm?" Xie Qian was suddenly pleasantly surprised, and he could finally get out of his current embarrassing situation, "Then let's dig it out now?" ”

"No, we're going to go around a little bit, there's no cover in this position, and a little bit next to it, there's a huge rock that can temporarily help us cover the hole we dug out." Xu Mo said softly.

After more than ten minutes, the two of them quietly crawled out of the dug tunnel, carefully hiding behind the rock, observing the cave.

This cave is a large underground cave, like a bubble in the whole rock layer, with countless stalactites hanging from the top of the cave and tall stalagmites standing on the ground. The huge rock where Xu Mo and the others were hiding was a huge pillar of rock formed by connecting the stalactites at the top and the stalagmites on the ground, thick at both ends and thin in the middle.

The cave was full of an ore that emitted a faint phosphorescence, and Xu Mo and the others were also able to see the situation in the cave at a glance with the help of these ores. In the center of the cave is a giant reptile the size of a baby elephant. The surface of the reptile is also covered with a thick carapace, but because it is so fat, the carapace on its body can barely hide the fat in its body, and the fat of white flowers is exposed between the gaps in the carapace.

The mother's six chelicerae have degenerated into six tiny strips of flesh, and the antennae on her head have degenerated into two short horns of, even a pair of jaws in the mouth that are used for feeding are disproportionate to their size. The female worm's abdomen is close to the cave floor, and sometimes she will squirm hard, and the flesh looks a little cute.

There were many maggot-like larvae wriggling around the mother worm, in addition to these two kinds of worms, there were also some hideous beetles that were larger than the ones Xu Mo and the others had ever seen.

The beetles have pale golden stripes on their dorsal shells, six large and powerful chelicerae covered with sharp burrs, and a pair of jaws on their chins that are enormous. The two even saw one of these beetles easily crush a huge rock blocking the way with its jaws. Unlike Scout bugs, which go out in search of food, the antennae of these bugs have degenerated into two sharp, black horns, like the crash horns of a rushing car.

After observing the situation in the cave, Xu Mo pondered for a moment, then turned to Xie Qian and said, "The situation here is similar to what I estimated, and the defense force is not too strong, it seems that my plan can be implemented." ”

"You never told me what the plan was about, now you can talk about it!" Xie Qian sighed, in fact, he already had a bold guess about Xu Mo's plan in his heart, but for the time being, he didn't dare to think too much about some aspects, after all, the amount of information he got was too scarce.

"You know I've looked up some information about the alien in the database on the transport ship! In fact, the alien larvae that has not yet been fully formed still has the ability to evolve, if it is implanted in the body of a beetle......" Xu Mo took off his mask, the four fangs on the side of his mouth were wide open, and he laughed silently.

"What's the use of that, these beetles are too low in size and intelligence, and the aliens that use them as hosts are not much stronger. If the alien based on the female worm is likely to allow me to complete the trial mission, but it seems that the cost of killing a female worm version of the alien seems to be a bit more than worth the loss! Xie Qian pondered for a moment and said suspiciously.

"Then kill a few more!" Xu Mo grinned, "You have to know that aliens can have the ability to reproduce. ”

"If you want an alien to have the ability to reproduce, there are only two possibilities, one is the prototype of the empress in the alien, and the other is the alien larvae that parasitize the female and get a certain biological reproductive ability. Wait a minute...... Don't you want to ......" Xie Qian was only halfway through his words, and his eyes widened.

"Yes, isn't there a good 'mother' in front of you!" A gleam flashed in Xu Mo's eyes.

"This ...... It takes a while to complete, and the ability of this female worm to reproduce ...... It's too strong! Xie Qian swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty and said bitterly, "We will die here!" ”

"Hehe, wealth and danger are in danger! If you think about it, these beetles are big for bugs, but small for humans and not very intelligent. The aliens transformed from them are not only not strong, but also have lower intelligence than normal aliens, even if one beetle alien can't let you complete the task, two or three can always do. What's more, this beetle breeds very quickly, as long as you kill it quickly, there will be many, many rewards! Xu Mo's voice sounded in Xie Qian's ears like a demon's temptation.

"Well, I don't care, anyway, I'm a reincarnation, and my head is already pinned to the waistband of my pants. But can you tell me what your purpose is? I can't believe you've gone to such great lengths just to help me complete the Trial! Xie Qian said with a little difficulty.

"My purpose......" Xu Mo showed an evil smile again.
