Chapter 39: The Queen of Worms
It wasn't until Rhubarb walked away from Chen Cheng that everyone reacted: This guy actually chased the sea of worms? Groove !! Is it so awesome?
Fang Yinuo looked fixedly at the direction he left, and suddenly said, "He's fine, don't worry!" β
"You're good at it." Xu Wei heard her answer and replied lightly. Fang Yinuo ignored it and turned around and left.
So, am I being ignored?
"Hehe, Sister Nuo, are you tired? Sitting? When a guy saw Fang Yinuo coming, he sent his ass to the horse.
"Roll~"
"Okay!"

Zhou Heng walked up to Xu Wei and said, "There's a river over there, let's go clean it up, it's almost time, it's time to eat!" β
"Hmmm! It's time to eat... Well? Dine? Xu Wei's eyes suddenly widened, and when he looked at it again, all the rice was left behind when he ran away before, and the most important thing was that all the mutant beast meat was in Chen Cheng's ring, and except for Wu Qian and Xu Wei, no one knew...
"Hey! Let's see if we can catch some fish to eat..."Xu Wei scratched his head in annoyance, and looked back at Sun Cannon, this guy was holding a piece of mutant beast meat and his face was full of pain, and his painful face was twitching - this was what he left this morning, and it was the most perfect piece of all the barbecue meat in his opinion. And this piece of meat, he only ate one bite, and then it was contaminated with the juice of the worm ...
"Go find the lost supplies first, and then find the water source when you're done and clean yourself up." Xu Wei greeted the team loudly. Then he hesitated, and then looked at Ma Ronghua: "Do you girls want to go to the small river in front of you to clean up first?" β
"Okay, okay, then the three of us will go over first, and we'll be fine in about two hours!" Ma Ronghua's eyes lit up, and she answered without hesitation. She'd had enough of the disgusting mucus on her body.
β¦β¦
The rhubarb was very fast, and the oncoming wind blew Chen Cheng's hair tightly against his scalp. He leaned on Rhubarb's back, squinting at the ever-changing cloud of insects in front of him.
The endurance of the insects is very good, and Rhubarb has been chasing for nearly half an hour, if it weren't for the endurance of this thing, it would be okay, and it would really be lost.
The human-head-sized insect was hidden deep in the center of the insect cloud, and there were too many of them, the team had killed only 12/10 of the insects before, and the remaining insects were still covering the sky and the sun when they flew up, so it was not easy to find the leader in this large insect cloud.
After running for nearly forty or fifty miles, a hill appeared in front of him, this is a small town, not far from the town where Chen Cheng lived before, Chen Cheng had been here before, but this hill had never been seen before.
This hill is quite strange, it is full of blue and earthy yellow stones, evenly arranged in color, and there is not a single green plant, which looks very conspicuous.
"Did it come after the end of the world? However, the terrain has changed greatly after the apocalypse, and it is not surprising that a hill has appeared. Chen Cheng casually pulled out a reason in his heart, and he didn't bother to study the origin of this hill.
The insects rushed to the hill and began to circle around the hill, looking from a distance, the clouds and mist were swirling in the middle of the mountainside, unpredictable, but there was no auspicious atmosphere, the cloud is the insect cloud, the fog is also the worm mist, overwhelming, the sun and the moon have no light!
After circling for a while, the number of flying insects gradually decreased, at first it was not obvious, but at the end, he saw that the insect swarm flying around the mountainside was like water in a colander, and disappeared quickly, Chen Cheng hurriedly urged Rhubarb to come forward to watch, and when he got closer, he happened to see the last bit of insect cloud entering a hole at the top of the mountain in a column.
"After all this long foreplay, are you finally in the hole?" Chen Cheng spoke, with a serious expression on his face! Immediately patted Rhubarb's head: "Let's go, dog, let's go in and have a look!" β
Walking to the foot of the mountain, Chen Cheng was dumbfounded, this mountain is not high from a distance, and the shape is also extremely symmetrical, but when he got closer, he found that there was no place for this mountain to climb, and the rocks of the mountain were extremely smooth, as if they had been coiled, and they were all pulped...
The hill covers a small area, rhubarb ran around the foot of the mountain, and found that there was a transverse crack on the sunny side of the hill, the mountain was round and smooth, and this crack appeared very abruptly, giving Chen Cheng the feeling of a scar.
The crack is located at a height of four or five meters on the mountainside, in the shape of a diamond, nearly ten meters wide, more than three meters high, and the black rumbling inside is not clear, and I don't know how deep it is. Rhubarb carried Chen Cheng, took a few steps back, charged forward, with the help of inertia, stepped on the almost vertical mountain for two steps, and the two front paws were on the edge of the crack, and Chen Cheng behind him turned over and boarded the crack, grabbed one of Rhubarb's front paws with both hands, and pulled Rhubarb up together.
Looking down, when Rhubarb came up just now, the claws of the forelimbs tried to hook the ground up, but failed, the ground is also composed of stones, and the claws of Rhubarb scratched not even a white mark was left, he took out the spear, stabbed it lightly on the ground, and a string of sparks sparked up, but still left no trace. Chen Cheng smacked his tongue a little: I'll go~ This stone is a real man!!
Without staying too long, Chen Cheng looked up at the depths of the crack, smooth and neat from the edge to the inside, feeling like it had been chiseled out, and continued to walk in, the light gradually dimmed, and then saw that the road ahead was broken, and the stones full of cracks on one side were blocked, and there were still some gravel scattered on the ground, Chen Cheng squatted down and wanted to pick it up, but found that these gravels seemed to grow on the ground, and they were broken for a long time, and they did not move.
"Wangwang" rhubarb seemed to have found something, and barked at Chen Cheng twice, Chen Cheng looked up and found that rhubarb had retreated halfway, staring at one place and pulling hard with his paws.
Chen Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and found that there was a large stone growing on the ground in front of the rhubarb... This mountain is really strange, why do all the stones in the mountain like to grow on the ground? If you want to pick up a piece of collection, how can there be such a picky mountain?
This can't be regarded as gravel, there is a computer host size, neatly set between the ground and the oblique wall, behind the light blocked at the corner, Chen Cheng saw a hole, the hole is wet, there is a slippery slime sticking to it, about thirty centimeters in diameter, enough for Chen Cheng to enter.
Rhubarb looked at Chen Cheng, and from his face, he seemed to see an expression called cuteness. Chen Cheng patted its head: "Okay, I'll go down and take a look, you wait for me here, if you don't find out, I'll come out." β
Chen Chenggang was about to go down, thought about it, took out the lighter, tore a piece from his body, lit it and threw it in.
There is a superstitious saying in ancient times that is to rob tombs or explore ancient underground cities and the like, you must first throw a torch down, see if the fire is extinguished, if it is extinguished, it means that the gods do not allow you to go down, you will not be able to go up, if you do not extinguish, then it is fine, in fact, there is a certain scientific basis for modern times, the torch is not extinguished, it means that there is oxygen underground for people to survive, and the torch is extinguished, it means that the underground oxygen is insufficient to support people's breathing supply. In the same way, sealed deep pits also need to be probed.
The lit strip of cloth slowly fell, and by the faint light of the fire, Chen Cheng could see the uneven protrusion in the cave, the cave was not deep, and it extended diagonally downward, and then rolled down for a distance, and was blocked by the protruding stones.
Chen Cheng put away the spear, the hole was so narrow, the spear would definitely not be able to be used, took out a flashlight, and Chen Cheng jumped down.
The hole was wet, slippery, and hot...
The moisture content of the air here is very high, and after a while of coming in, Chen Chengdu was wet... It was his clothes that were damp with moisture in the air. A fishy smell went straight into the nostrils.
The flashlight shone around, and except for the stones scattered everywhere, there was no heel hair to be found.
It's not big underneath...
Chen Cheng walked around and found a passage dug out of a dark corner.
"The stone here is so hard, it can actually carve out a way, who has such great ability?" Chen Cheng was a little puzzled, but he hadn't forgotten his purpose, he was here to find the worm.
"Can you get past here to the worm's nest?" Chen Cheng muttered, as if asking himself, without thinking much about it, he lit the flashlight and slowly leaned over.
"Yes, there's direct access to the bugs' nests." A voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and Chen Cheng's hairs stood on end in an instant, how could there be anyone in particular?
"Who's talking?" Chen Cheng tensed his muscles and made a defensive gesture, specially, suddenly making a sound would scare people to death!
"Don't panic when you are young, the person who is dying in this seat can't hurt you." The voice seemed to come from all directions, and it seemed to come directly from the depths of my head, and I couldn't tell where it came from.
As if sensing Chen Cheng's vigilance, the voice continued: "Little Housheng, if you walk along the passage, you can see the nest of insects. Do what this seat says, when you come, this seat wants to make a deal with you, rest assured, it won't harm your life. If it hurts you, it will do you no good. β
Chen Cheng thought about it, he was going to leave anyway, and he had chased here, and he was a little unwilling to go back now!. Although the gesture in this voice makes me annoying.
Who are the two of you who opened your mouth and closed your mouth? Pretending to be forced, huh!?
But he didn't say anything, and continued to walk inward as he had originally thought, and the path was winding all the way uphill, like a ring road on a mountain.
The road was a bit long, Chen Cheng walked very slowly, and after advancing for nearly twenty minutes, Chen Cheng saw a circular hole in front of him.
"Be quiet, it's coming soon, these bugs are very alert, don't be discovered." The voice once again succeeded in startling Chen Cheng.
γ½(#'Π Μ)γCan you wake up before you speak?
Then, he was stunned by the scene in front of him, the front should be the exit, outside is a rough stone room, a huge creature in the stone room, the huge abdomen is oval, a transparent meat tube under the abdomen, at this time the meat tube is rolling out of the white eggs, all of them are the size of eggs, densely packed the entire stone room.
Abnormity???
It seems that the task has been completed, and after the last egg is discharged, the meat tube slowly retracts the belly of the worm, and finally only a round chrysanthemum-like structure is left and slowly shrinks...
"This is the queen of the gold eating insects, if you control this insect queen, the entire gold eating insect swarm is yours." The voice suddenly came out again, but Chen Cheng was already on guard and was not frightened.
"Gold Eater? The queen bug? Chen Cheng heard the name of this insect for the first time.
"You don't know about the Gold Eater? Are you indigenous? The voice seemed to be surprised!
Chen Cheng was stunned: Indigenous? What an unpleasant name!
