Chapter 34: The Mother King

"We're going in the wrong direction?" After he reminded her, Linnie also noticed the difference.

"There's a 16 percent chance that your analysis is going in the right direction, maybe we're going to encounter a large number of beetles that haven't been poisoned or seen before, and it's too late to quit." Chen Fang's inference is creepy, judging from the organizational form of the flying beetle, their colony has a division of labor, and the flying beetle that appears outside the cave may be just a population, responsible for foraging and attacking, so calculated, there is at least a male population in the nest, a population responsible for transporting, but so far, Chen Fang has not seen a second species of flying beetle.

"I'm not going to back down because of timidity and let these days of hard work come to naught. I don't know the probability you said, but I don't like to give up halfway, don't you want to compete for the first place? As your partner, I will do my best. Linnie returned to her previous strength and continued to grope her way forward.

Flutter~ A beetle popped out of the darkness, the speed was amazing, and with the help of the night vision function of the goggles, only a blurry green shadow could be seen.

The distance is too close, and the speed is also fast, even if Chen Fang was prepared, he shot twice in a row before he hit the target thrillingly.

"Good marksmanship." Linnie took it in stride and waved her hand to wipe the mucus from her neck, the beetle's bodily fluids were still splashing on her body due to the proximity.

"Are you sure you want to continue?" Chen Fang asked with a smile.

"There's nothing to be afraid of, even if you miss, I still have the ability to protect myself." Linnie raised the bloodletter in her hand, that was her final line of defense.

The slain beetle had turned into a mixture of carapace and minced meat, and hung on the cave wall with a slimy liquid, and it was impossible to tell if it was a swarm with the flying beetle outside, but judging from experience, it should not be, because when it attacked Linny, the green shadow bounced out, and besides, if it was a flying beetle, it would not be just one, but a swarm.

Zerg like flying beetles, as long as they don't attack in groups, the threat brought by them is not to be worried, Linnie's persistence is also wise, when she began to explore again, she became much more cautious, carefully searched the gaps in the cave wall, and clung to one side of the cave wall while moving, so that if there were flying beetles to attack her, she would have to jump from one side of the cave to the other, and Chen Fang had plenty of time and distance for shooting, and in addition, she could also fix the shooting in one direction, reducing the difficulty by more than fifty percent.

Chen Fang also secretly praised it in his eyes.

Another beetle's jump attack, Chen Fang's shot was swift and accurate, calmly, and this time, the slime did not touch Linnie's body. Trust and tacit understanding sprouted in the continuous shooting, and as she continued to advance a hundred meters, Linnie had ignored the beetles that could be pounced on at any moment.

Coming to a corner, she quickly leaned her body to the inner corner, using the refraction function of the goggles to peek inward.

The sight suddenly opened up, revealing a terrifying picture, the vast space was densely packed with milky white eggs the size of eggs, an unimaginably large number, if they all hatched, they could immediately form a huge army of flying beetles.

At the end of the cave is a behemoth, irregular shape, more than four meters high, occupying a corner of the cave, except for the green carapace on the surface of the body, it is difficult to see that it has any relationship with the flying beetle. It is ovulating, there are a total of six ovulation tubes, like a mechanized production, dozens of eggs are excreted every minute, and then carried to a distance by a kind of crawling beetle, and the rest of the eggs are stacked on top of each other, looking like a warehouse for storing rice.

At a glance, it is clear that this is the hatching place of flying beetles, completely isolated from the outside world, the division of labor of reptile beetles is to protect the mother king, transport eggs, they feed on the mushrooms in the cave, self-sufficient, never go out, and the eggs fly outside on their own after hatching, and never return, so they can escape under the ravages of the cloak of death.

"What should I do?" Linnie took back her goggles, and the two tacitly retreated the way they came.

Chen Fang took out a can of Death's cloak, although the beetles here can't fly, but they don't move all the time, they are in contact with the mother, and they are in contact with the eggs, and the eggs stored are also layered, plus the water on the ground, it is not difficult to spread the cloak of the Grim Reaper, the only difficulty is that when the cloak of the Grim Reaper is dropped, it cannot alarm the Zerg.

Linnie volunteered to snatch the piggy bank with the cloak of death and burrow into the burrow lightly, the eggs were not a threat until they hatched, as long as she avoided the busy creeping beetles, this errand was easy for Linny, who was known for her agility and speed, and after a few moments, she calmly returned with the empty piggy bank.

It was nearly a week of long waiting, and the two witnessed the whole process of the spread of the Death Cloak, and the gray and white color symbolizing death spread rapidly, and finally drowned out the green that symbolized vitality, and the cave ** was dead silent.

"Let's go over and see." The task of exterminating the flying beetle's nest is still not completed, and Chen Fang is also forced to do so.

Linni accepted with silence, and tacitly grabbed the front, taking the responsibility of finding the way, while Chen Fang walked behind and was responsible for covering.

The eggs infected with the virus have long lost their vitality, soft, sticky, trampled on it there is an indescribable, inexplicable strange feeling, especially as a woman, Linni, can't help but have a feeling of wanting to vomit, so strong she forcibly suppressed it, and touched the mother king as quickly as possible.

The fate of ordinary beetles is almost the same, the dark green shell is covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and it is paralyzed in the corner of the cave motionless, maybe the mother king is still alive, but from the perspective of the mercenary association, as long as it stops breeding, it is equivalent to death, and the long-awaited task prompt finally appears.

The merit value of the award is not 100,000, but 150,000. The Mercenary Guild has the right to modify the reward at any time according to the difficulty of the task according to the image sent back by the goggles, for example, at the beginning, they canceled the merit value of hunting a single flying beetle, and now, perhaps they think that the merit value of 100,000 is too low compared to the difficulty and contribution of destroying the wormhole, or this is compensation for the cancellation of the merit of killing a single flying beetle.

Chen Fang couldn't help but feel a little curious, considering whether the merit value was the mercenary association's system, or a group of otaku who hid behind the display screen and followed the images of the goggles to experience the adventure, however, even if it was judged by the mercenary association's system, he would never cheat, not even the slightest thought, and now his merit value is approaching 300,000, he is fully capable of chasing the first.

"What's that?" Linnie was drawn to a flash of light, standing out in the gray dead silence.

It was a shining body, pressed under the body of the mother king, only the tip of the iceberg was exposed, and it was impossible to tell what it was, but a sense of déjà vu flashed in Chen Fang's mind.

Breaking off, Tugou apologized again
