Chapter 328: Mechanical Monster

Since his body couldn't get in, Zhang Le began to use virtual roots to reach inside. The perception mode of virtual root whiskers is mainly touch, but within a distance of about one meter from the object, it has the same effect as vision, similar to the way a patient with high myopia observes the world.

This time, the distance was very short, and after a distance of about thirty meters, the virtual roots "saw" a huge silvery-white machine-like object.

Suddenly, a palpitating sensation suddenly appeared, and a feeling of emptiness came from the front end of the virtual root. He quickly withdrew his roots, but the feeling of emptiness followed, and he actually crawled along the roots towards Zhang Le's body.

Zhang Le was shocked, at the critical moment, his body's reaction speed exceeded the brain's reaction speed.

He materialized the virtual roots as he waved his front paws at the same time, and a gust of wind swept by, cutting the roots in two. At this time, he also saw a terrifying scene, a mechanical object that was obviously a metal pipe was like a living thing, chasing the virtual roots, looking through the opening of the metal pipe, the inside of the pipe was a complex transmission mechanism like a gear, the thin gears kept changing shapes like living things, and the cut off virtual roots were quickly stirred into by the gear-like creatures, and soon, disappeared.

After eating the virtual roots, the metal pipe stopped, and its openings closed one by one, like the giant mouth of a monster. Zhang Le lightly jumped ten meters away, just staring at the strange metal pipe.

"Fire!" The biological flame that the fluctuating energy turned into immediately burned inside the metal tube. The metal pipe swayed slightly, and the cogs swayed gently, seemingly unharmed it.

Although the total reserves of fluctuating energy in the body are getting higher and higher, it is still rare energy, and every part of it is consumed, it can only rely on time to recover slowly, so Zhang Le's current use of fluctuating energy is based on the principle of being able to save it.

Seeing that the Creature Flame didn't work, he immediately changed his strategy and Death Ray. The death ray did work, and the cogwheel jaw immediately turned up, down, left and right, but this strange rotation did not last a few seconds, and then stopped.

Zhang Le was a little stunned, this was his strongest means of attack, but it still didn't work.

He tried to turn away, but he couldn't move anyway. For, this living metal tube was the source of that alluring fragrance, and he now had a strong desire to eat it.

Judging from the strange performance just now, the strength of this strange metal pipe is definitely not weak, and it is difficult to say whether the body of this locust is an opponent.

But at this moment, uncontrolled impulses slowly took over. The animal instinct of the locust dominates the actions of the body at this moment, and the rational mind of humans begins to disappear.

Zhang Le suddenly felt that his brain was confused for a while, and then, everything disappeared, and there was only pure white in his mind.

The locust, which had lost its rational control, instantly appeared in front of the metal pipe, and its three pairs of legs hugged the metal pipe tightly, and then opened its large mouth to cover the huge mouth of the gear.

A tooth-aching sound of metal grinding came from deep in the locust's throat. Green plasma trickled down the corners of the locust's mouth, and it contained unidentified fragments of flesh.

Despite this, the locust continued to steadfastly and slowly shove metal tubes into its body. Like a dying prey, the metal pipe suddenly struggled violently. At the same time, on the surface of the tube, metal spikes began to grow.

The revolt of the metal pipes also provoked the wrath of the locusts. Suddenly solidified roots sprang out from various parts of his body, and these roots shot out in all directions, and then began to burrow into the cracks in the stones to the left and right.

Soon, tubes of colorful liquid converged on the locust's body from all sides through translucent roots.

The locust's body quickly began to recover. The wings, feet, body, and even the hairs have all become metallic and discolored. A terrifying momentum emanated from the locust's body.

The metal spikes that glowed with cold light had already poked out of the locust's body, but at this moment, they began to soften and slowly retracted into the locust's body. And the exposed metal spikes have undergone the same change.

The metal pipe, which was originally full of violent aesthetics, seemed to have turned into a large sausage, which was quickly wiped out by the locusts. And the longer metal pipe was dragged out by the locust and sent into its big mouth.

At the same time, flesh-colored bugs scattered and fled.

There was a strange sound of "bang", and the metal pipe in the locust's hand was pulled out by the roots and became food in the locust's mouth. But things didn't stop there.

Although the enemy is gone, the locusts have no brains at all, and those translucent roots are still pumping liquids from all directions, and all kinds of different metals have become the nourishment of the locusts. The ore that was originally hard turned into powder or crushed stone slag, and fell through the cracks in the beams.

Eventually, the metal supports that supported the mine were sucked and deformed by the locusts, and they could no longer support the forces above, and then the entire mine collapsed, and the locusts were buried deep underground.

After another day or so, Zhang Le woke up. The strong feeling of satiety made him a little reluctant to move. He opened his eyes and saw nothing. He moved, but he couldn't move at all.

"What the hell is going on?" He recalled it carefully, vaguely remembering that he was fighting with a metal pipe, and the rest was unknown.

Whatever the reason, he was buried, and this is his current situation.

The handling of this situation is documented in the disaster training. First of all, you have to make a space where you can move.

Thinking of this, he began to pull at what was in front of him with his hands, and then stuffed it into the lower back of his body. Once, twice, and soon, an arm-long hole appeared under his head and chest.

"Huh! I'm human again! Zhang Le cried with joy. The moment they hollowed into a whole, his hands touched each other.

After calming down, his mind became more flexible. Although high-level humans can survive without water, air, and food, this state of living is not comfortable and lacks vitality.

This time, the virtual roots extended a little longer, and it took a while to find the water source and the nutrient earth again. Infinite power filled his body again, Zhang Le waved his hands and began to climb upward.

At this time, he realized that his body had changed dramatically. That is the increase in strength and hardness. No matter how powerful a creature is, flesh is still flesh, and even if it can break rocks and bend steel compared to steel and stone, it is impossible to fight like this forever, even biological robots can't do it.

But Zhang Le feels that his current body is fine. It's a bit like having what myths and legends or games call the top stat: indestructible.
