Chapter 555: Dangerous Insects
As he spoke, Ekra pulled one of the thicker-looking air roots, and found that it was very strong, and then he jumped straight into it, and at the same time stretched his hands up and grabbed it with a little force.
Jumping four or five meters high at once, Ike grabbed the air root and temporarily suspended it on it.
"This jumping ability ......" Norman couldn't help but smack his tongue a little when he saw such a scene, "Is this guy a superpower warrior!" ”
"Oh, that's perverted." Arkatiz shook his head, and then his hands grabbed another air root next to him, and his legs lifted off the ground and began to climb upward.
Ike hung in mid-air, looked at the four below and beckoned to them, and they had each quickly grabbed a vine from the side and quickly climbed up it.
Even though Norman and Puffey climbed at the same time, they were no longer on the same level as each other, but each of them had a height difference, separated by a distance from each other.
And so this happens, the five people seem to be an oblique straight line on top of a functional image, and this line is constantly translating upwards along the positive half axis of Y. This type of climbing was proposed by Ike because it would expand the perspective of the five people combined, allowing them to take emergency refuge in the event of an emergency.
For example, if an alien suddenly emerges from below and attacks, the person at the bottom will have to tell everyone the news instantly, so that everyone can take emergency measures as soon as possible.
They crawled upwards like this, and the group was spaced at a vertical height of about 5 meters. They tugged at the thick vines and didn't look at the bubbling green acid below.
The acid pools below are undoubtedly very dangerous. If they fell into it, there would be no bones left, but it was amazing that the trunks and roots of the trees that had been soaked in the acid pools had unexpectedly not been damaged.
They had climbed almost two hundred meters like this, and when the sun hit their faces, Ike knew. This is already to the top of the tree.
Above was a dense layer of foliage, and the sunlight was shining through the gaps, but it was already quite dazzling. Seeing this, this scene. Ike immediately stopped, and at the same time held out a hand and held it flat, signaling for the others to stop.
All five stopped, and from where they were at the moment. You can clearly see the plump coconut tree-like fruits in the distance. These fruits have a grayish-green glow. On the surface, it looks inconspicuous, and even a little fluffy, but at this time, this fruit looks so attractive in the eyes of everyone.
Norman and the others swallowed involuntarily, and they obviously thought of coconut, a highly nutritious plant that contains protein and delicious juice, which is the same reason as Wangmei to quench their thirst. But after all, this is a strange plant on the alien planet, and whether it can be eaten directly or not is still two theories, but judging from the current situation. They don't seem to have a choice.
Ike focused his gaze to his left, looking at a huge fruit that was more than a meter in diameter. He grabbed the qi root with both hands and swung it vigorously, and then the strange qi root swung to the left.
Soon he swung in front of the fruit, and at this time Ike reached out again and hooked it on. So, with that, Ike grabbed the fruit and stayed on top of the four for a moment.
"That's ...... flexible," Lockhart watched as Ike made a move, and several of them were asked to stay where they were, "if only he could join our pirate group." ”
"Don't think about it, they're elite cosmic mercenaries." Pu Fei clung to the air roots, his face could not see any expression, because of the radiation caused his whole body to be burned like this, he developed a rather calm character.
"That's right, noble and glamorous, and don't look down on my pirate career." Lockhart smiled helplessly, apparently he was arrogant when he first entered the Ceph cage, and even if he was corrected and re-established because of Rezenov's iron fist of justice, it still disgusted some people. At the same time, he kept an eye on his surroundings to see if anything special was going on.
However, it was at this glance that Lockhart found out about the situation.
"That's ...... What the! He stared down to the side, and saw a lot of small black dots emerge and fly on them.
The direction where Ike is at the moment is the only way for these mysterious black dots, and if he is hit head-on by these black dots, he may be in some danger.
"Ike, get out of the way!" Lockhart suddenly shouted. Before that, Ike was pulling at the fruit with his hand above and trying to rip it off the branch.
But the two were so connected that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't tear it off. So Ike simply sprang upside down and clamped the branch with his legs, while loosening the original air roots.
The qi root suddenly reverberated in the original direction, directly to a place forty or fifty meters away, and at this time, Ike also took out a sickle dragon from the space backpack.
He held down a part of the fruit with one hand, and with the other he grasped the sickle and slashed hard at the junction between the fruit and the branch. The sharp scythe had an effect, and the fruit fell instantly, and the hand that Ike pressed on the fruit suddenly took effect, lifting it upside down in the air.
Even though the nano biochemical suit has been greatly damaged, the nano unit in the palm of the hand has now been repaired, and Ike is now relying on the attachment of this nano to carry a huge heavy ball with a diameter of one meter upside down like a basketball.
Then, he immediately opened the space backpack and sent the thing inside.
It took a lot of trouble for him to collect a fruit, and looking at so many fruits around him, he didn't know how long it would take.
Just as Ike thought this and aimed at the next target, preparing for a second pick, Lockhart's cry suddenly came from below.
"Ike, get out of the way!"
Hearing this, Ike immediately reacted, realizing that danger was approaching.
But miraculously, there was no movement around, and Ike couldn't help but look around, and soon he saw the scene below.
It was naturally a dense patch of small black dots, but Ike, who had dynamic vision, could see these things much more clearly than Lockhart and the others.
These are elongated insects with spiky antennae and wings about half a meter long, and their bodies are very long, almost the length of an adult's leg, which is already very large for an insect.
The insects swarmed upwards, and it was strange that they didn't make any sound when they flew, so Ike didn't notice it just now.
The insect swarm had apparently noticed Lockhart and the others, but instead of attacking, they were rushing towards Ike. It was clear that the insects were moving in swarms upwards, and Ike was clearly in their way at the moment.
At this time, those insects were only a dozen meters away from Ike, and this distance was fleeting for their flight.
So in an instant, Ike immediately let go of his feet, still holding the scythe in his left hand, and at the same time using the branch as a support point, one leg kicked hard.
His entire body jumped instantly, and slid quickly through the air, flying towards the aerial root that had been discarded by him.
Small Leap of Faith.
"Oh, shit!" However, Norman and the others did not see such a scene, and in their vision, only Ike was overwhelmed by a patch of dangerous black spots.
"He's hanging,*, I'm counting on some arms!" Lockhart couldn't help but curse, even if he couldn't tell what these things were, as long as he thought of the ant army in the rainforest, he could naturally think of these insects as dense insects. Even if Ike is very powerful, he doesn't think that the other party can survive such a situation.
"Looks like we're going to have to redefine our plans for picking food." Pu Fei shook his head slightly and said, even if he was as calm as him, he thought that Ike was dead at this time, "So...... How do we get them down? ”
He looked at the fruits above, but at the moment they were overwhelmed by the insect swarm, and at this time, the insect swarm finally heard the voice.
"Crunch" "Crunch" "Crunch"
"Damn, they're not going to eat all our food, so they're going to be in vain." Acatezi's face was a little ugly, they finally came here, and they also lost a person, but the food that was about to arrive was directly eaten by these insects, which is really a thing that makes people angry.
"Don't worry." However, at this moment, a calm and cold voice suddenly came from above.
"Who!" Norman couldn't help but be surprised, "Who's talking!" ”
"It's me." With this voice, everyone couldn't help but look up, only to see that the young man wearing a strange individual armor was hanging expressionlessly on the air root he was holding at this moment, with an indifferent expression and no waves, as if he had not encountered danger at all just now.
"Ike!" Lockhart's voice was a little surprised, "You're not dead!" ”
"I just dodged." Ike lightly explained how he had escaped, and then looked at the flying insects diagonally above him, and said, "These insects are just eating the leaves of the trees, and they are not interested in the fruits." ”
In Ike's eyes of dynamic vision, flying insects were eating away at the branches and leaves of the trees. (To be continued......)
