Chapter 39: Exposure
The adult body of the troll-tailed insect is two meters long, with six limbs, the whole body is verdant, with white spots on the back, and it is one of the few species in the Zerg that can walk upright.
Because its thick tail often drags on the ground, leaving obvious marks, it is called taildragging.
At this point, there were seven trolling insects working in the hatchery, and all four of their forelimbs could be used as arms, so the eggs could be easily removed from the grooves and coated with a slimy gray liquid.
The eggs are drained on a rock shelf, and a large number of warm stones are placed under the shelf to keep the surroundings dry.
The drained eggs were picked up by two of the tails and thrown into a bubbling pool of water.
Next to the pool are the eggs that have been scooped up, which used to look like sacs of flesh, but now the outermost sac has begun to crack open, and the white inner membrane can be seen.
With a link-by-link process, an assembly line, it's hard to imagine that the Zerg also has such an organization.
Qin Ming didn't see the follow-up process, in fact, there was no need, he was not a visitor.
He stepped on the edge of the wellhead and continued to take a step forward and began to move in free fall.
Bang –
He didn't hide it, and landed on the ground with a muffled sound.
However, at this moment, the strong wind whirled in the same place, and his figure suddenly disappeared.
The trailing insects turned their heads to look at this side, but before they could see clearly, a lightning-like figure had already passed by them.
Qin Ming quickly reappeared, but the trailing tail worm behind him did not make any movement, still maintaining a stiff posture of turning.
I saw a straight diagonal line appear under their necks at the same time, and their heads slowly slid down this line, and dark green juice spurted upwards from the incision, forming columns of wells.
Headless corpses fell one after another, and fallen eggs rolled on the ground.
Qin Ming ignored the movement behind him and walked straight to the end of the hatching room.
The eggs that have undergone the complete catalytic process are placed on the clay platform here.
The failed works are broken and the egg liquid is introduced into the platform to nourish the surviving eggs as nourishment.
The walls behind the platform were embedded with crystal prisms, and the faint green light emitted sprinkled on the insect eggs, glowing with a cold and eerie tone.
Qin Ming picked up one of the eggs and held it in front of him.
The membrane of this egg has become extremely thin, and through the light that shines on, you can already see the larvae that are basically formed inside.
Burst!!!
The whole insect egg was pinched and exploded, and the unknown liquid shot out in all directions, and some of it even splashed on Qin Ming's body, but he didn't realize it.
The larvae, which are forced to breathe air in advance, are constantly fluttering on the ground, and even if they are not fully developed, they have a hideous state of seven or eight points.
The blade slashed swiftly, splitting the struggling larvae in two, no longer making a sound.
However, there are still hundreds of insect eggs in front of him, and there are thousands of those behind him that have not been catalyzed, and there are such a number of inches of land, so how much should the entire Bai Yuan Star be...
He clenched the hilt of the knife in his hand, and the more he thought about it, the colder his body became.
Although he couldn't calculate exactly, he knew it was a hopeless number.
"This catastrophe must be prevented...."
At the same time as the sound of the heart echoed, the black-bladed war knife also raised, and the cross-cutting knife qi cut all the insect eggs on the clay platform.
Not only that, but the eggs that were still in the grooves were also destroyed by Qin Ming one after another.
For him, these are the future enemies of humanity, which must be strangled in the cradle in advance.
After destroying the hatchery to the ground, he left indifferently and went to another nest in the same way.
Infiltrate, slash, destroy, leave ....
In the middle of the night, he repeated the same process, like a tireless killing machine.
However, the deeper he went, the more powerless he felt.
As more and more trailing insects grow in the hatchery, so do the eggs that they catalyze successfully.
In order to save time, he even had to release his original energy and sweep it in the form of knife qi.
Under his all-out assault, about half of the hatcheries of the sixty nests in this area were cleared.
But this is the limit of his ability, and the vigilance of the second half of the nest is several levels higher than that of the periphery.
This time, he missed.
Faced with a nest of more than ten sensory insects, luck did not favor him anymore, and his existence was perceived in advance.
The perception insect raised its head to the sky and made a loud whistling sound, which immediately caused a commotion among the nest ** zerg.
In this case, the most sensible option is to flee immediately.
However, Qin Ming didn't, but stood up and ran towards the lair in front of him.
He knew very well that if he left at this time, the chances of succeeding in another sneak attack were zero.
How willing does this result make him?!
There are still a lot of trailing insects working here, expanding the Zerg army!
The killing intent that Qin Ming had been restraining completely exploded at this moment, and his reddened eyes completely appeared crazy.
"Give me death!!"
In the roar of rage, the jumping insects that jumped down from the nest to intercept them were directly blasted through by Qin Ming's fist wrapped in gangqi, and shattered into pieces of flesh and blood that flipped all over the sky.
The red rain fell behind him, and he continued to rush forward like a fierce tiger and leopard.
After killing more than a dozen D-class Zerg in a row along the way, he fought his way through the bloody path and jumped into the exit leading to the underground hatchery of this lair.
This time it was no longer an unsuspecting tail-tail, and the moment he leaped in, an overwhelming amount of liquid spilled over.
The various toxic solutions developed by the trailing tail can not only catalyze insect eggs, but also be used as weapons.
When the solution fell on Qin Ming's body, it suddenly sizzled.
The cloak and clothing with a certain degree of corrosion resistance were immediately melted out of the hole by the strong acid, and the alloy weapon carried close to the body also emitted a large number of small bubbles, but the most important thing was the entire face that was drenched.
However, to the troll's surprise, the solution that came into direct contact with the skin did not work as well as it should, but only flowed silently, making the intruder look even more terrifying.
Their keen instincts made them sense the danger and tried to escape, but the moment they jumped on their hind limbs, a black blade swept horizontally, cutting them all in half!
The surrounding platforms and grooves that had accumulated the solution also burst open one after another, making a mess.
However, the screams of the Zerg had already come from the passage above, and Qin Ming glanced at the eggs that had not yet been destroyed, so he could only turn around and evacuate unwillingly.
The smaller Zerg rushed in through the passage, and he wasted no time, stabbing through the cockroaches that pounced on him with his sword, and using this to force them out!
The extremely active Origin Energy boiled again, a steady stream of power surged to the limbs and hundreds of remains, and hundreds of small black vortices under the skin resonated at the same time, and the external Origin Energy formed a protective body qi to protect its own safety.
Under the violent impact and squeezing, many zergs were crushed, and the entire passage was like a juice press, constantly squeezing out strange things.
However, there are a lot of Zerg blocking the passage, and in the end it is almost impossible to move an inch.
This predicament made Qin Ming's murderous intent even more surging, and Huo Ran let out a roar from the bottom of his mouth.
Yes!!!
Obviously, the output is close to the limit, and the stamina is constantly fading, but the scorching and hot body still bursts out more power from nowhere.
The dark energy is like a continuous tide, constantly impacting forward, the carapace of the Zerg that stands in the way is shattered, and the muscles in the body are turned into minced meat.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he rushed forward frantically!
The resistance became less and less, and in the end, he finally broke through this flesh passage and left the lair completely.
At this time, his body was already covered with slimy flesh and blood, and there were more than a dozen wounds caused by the Zerg on his body, which were gurgling and bleeding.
However, he didn't care, pulled off the tattered cloak on his body, wiped the filth off his face, and looked at the surrounding Zerg with the same cold and cruel gaze.
