Chapter 129: The Bug's Revenge
The next day, the group did not leave the oasis. Because after absorbing the golden liquid, Sandy fell asleep.
Maybe it's because Zhang Le is not a real plant, and although he absorbs more golden liquid, the reaction is not as great as Sandy's.
Despite this, Zhang Le's body still showed several changes. The first change, after the golden liquid enters the body, it is like lubricating oil, infiltrating all corners of the body, including bones, brains, internal organs, blood and skin and other tissues, although Zhang Le did not feel a significant increase in the basic values of the body such as strength, agility and defense, but the inevitable slight stagnation between the usual gestures completely disappeared.
The second change is that the virtual root can be transformed between the virtual and the real. However, this "reality" is only visible, but it is still not felt when touched with your hands. The change of form is not the point, but after it is realized, it absorbs water and nutrients very quickly, and it used to take ten to thirty minutes to transform into a giant treeman, but now it only takes a few seconds.
Sandy was asleep, everyone couldn't hurry, and out of boredom, they began to sweep across the oasis.
The insect king that I sensed yesterday evening still hasn't appeared, but the team leader-level bugs still exist. Zhang Le deliberately used the virtual roots to enter the location where the insects were, but the moment he saw it, Zhang Le withdrew the roots. This is a flesh-white bug, one of Professor Ouyang Ji's favorite creatures to study, and it is also the most disgusting insect for Zhang Le, especially that color.
The length of the team leader-level insect is more than ten meters, and the body of the insect king should not be small. Zhang Le didn't want to communicate with this disgusting bug, so he ignored them directly. Anyway, with their own presence, these bugs can't make any waves.
In this small oasis of about two square kilometers, there are very few species of homeothermic animals, only a flock of gerbils more than half a meter long and a dozen ostriches can be seen, and the rest are all snakes, lizards, invertebrates, ants and some strange and uncommon arthropods.
It is still the weakest Gianna and Shen Wei who are in charge of hunting. The evolution of the creatures in the oases is almost always speed and venom, with the exception of gerbils and ostriches.
Shen Wei's body is fully mutated, and his abilities in all aspects are very balanced, as long as he doesn't encounter an opponent whose strength crushes him, he can deal with it with ease. Shen Wei's purpose is very clear, that is, to kill some creatures that pose a greater threat to humans, especially poisonous or aggressive creatures, such as scorpions, snakes, gerbils, etc.
Gianna's fighting power is not very strong, but she can always dodge any danger before it happens, and at the same time, she can also know what her opponent thinks at the moment. Therefore, Gianna's attack method was different from Shen Wei's step-by-step attack method, she walked directly into the mutant biota, carried a huge axe in her hand, and shot seemingly randomly, killing exactly the prey she wanted to kill every time.
Except for ostriches, which are not killed, all other animals are within the range of killing. This is the consensus of Zhang Le, Shen Wei and Gianna and other three human beings, even Sandy, Xue and Fei'er, a few former non-humans, have no opinion on this, and the aesthetics and ugliness of advanced intelligent species are all common.
Except for the bald eagle that followed and ate some snake meat and gerbil meat, no one else wanted to eat the other prey, and the mutated flamingo preferred to eat fish and shrimp, algae, some plant fruits, and roasted meat in the water, and would not eat these strange meats.
Three hours later, the hunt was nearing its end, and the entire oasis was filled with the smell of blood. Zhang Le was about to turn all the carcasses of these prey into charcoal, as if by coincidence, countless flesh-colored insects came out of the sand and pounced on those dead prey.
Zhang Le only maintained the information hormone network in a state of minimum energy consumption, and could not find bugs below the team leader level. And Gianna couldn't read the thoughts of creatures with relatively low IQs, so this dense swarm of flesh-colored bugs appeared on the oasis without warning.
Most of the flesh-colored insects are half a meter to one meter long, about 30 centimeters in diameter, and have mouthparts as thick as the body on their heads, which are extremely hideous. In a matter of minutes, the small prey disappeared, the larger prey was reduced to skeletons, and then most of the bugs burrowed back into the sand. Soon, under the action of gravity, the sand slowly filled the holes, and a gust of wind blew, and the sand returned to its original state.
It seems that this is not the first time that the surviving mutated creatures have fled frantically towards the desert on the outskirts of the oasis.
Gianna climbed onto a nearby low tree the moment the bug appeared, and no girl liked this terrible bug. Zhang Le, Xue and Fei'er also flew up in time. Flamingos and bald eagles are not afraid of these bugs, but there are so many bugs that they are frightened to fly.
Only Shen Wei's face did not change, and he continued to fight with the insects that appeared on the side. There was nothing wrong with it, except for the three insects that were entangled with Shen Wei, all the other insects burrowed into the ground.
This may be the first time this has happened to bugs, and there have not been any creatures that have challenged the dignity of this group of bugs before. The insect that was attacked by Shen Wei did not burrow into the ground and escape immediately, but stood up half-straight and fought with Shen Wei.
The body of the insect that moved by wriggling was not Shen Wei's opponent in terms of speed, although the insects were rough and thick-skinned, and after being slashed in the same place by Shen Wei with a steel sword many times, two insects were cut in two. The third bug chirped rapidly, filled with pain and sorrow, and then spewed out a stream of dark green viscous liquid, before shriveling and dying at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Shen Wei dodged the liquid attack at the critical moment, and a sneer sounded, and a giant cactus on the side was sprayed by the liquid, and the part of the spray instantly changed from a healthy dark green to a black carbon color, which was comparable to the effect of Zhang Le's destruction of white light. Shen Wei's face changed greatly, and the onlookers also showed surprise.
No one expected that this kind of bug would actually take the extreme behavior of suicide attack. This is also relatively rare in nature.
"Not good, dangerous! All in the sky! Gianna's face changed and she shouted.
Zhang Le also felt the danger coming from the ground in an instant, it was the group of insects. He grabbed Shen Wei with one hand and Gianna with the other, and took the lead in flying towards the sky. Snow and Phil followed. Countless flesh-colored bugs once again poked their heads out of the desert and spewed dark green liquid into the sky in unison. The insects are large and small, and the liquid spewed out is high and low, and the largest liquid comes from the insect king, and the dark green liquid is like fireworks, covering the land hundreds of meters around.
After squirting out the green liquid, the insects all became languishing and pale, as if they were going to die at any moment. Eventually, however, they slowly retreated back into the sand, including the giant Bug King.
