The failure of sample capture made Chen Tianci have no choice but to adopt Fang Lei's plan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThey carefully took some samples from the lake and sealed them.

Chen Tianci contacted the fleet through the communicator. He asked Ye Feng, who was staying in the fleet, to urgently retrieve an analytical instrument and send it to the nearest blockade entrance.

After the instrument was in place, Chen Tianci and Fang Lei quickly rushed towards the location. In order to prevent someone from pursuing, Chen Tianci deliberately buried a vitality warning network on the road behind him.

Just like the kind of Yuan Qi warning net he had encountered at the beginning, he planted an early warning net under the ground every other distance. The entrances and exits of the magnetic protective cordonade in the distance were getting closer and closer to them.

But before they could get close to the target area, a large cloud of dust rose behind them. At the same time, Chen Tianci also sensed the collapse of the early warning network. Someone stepped into the early warning net he had laid down.

"There is a situation." Chen Tianci said, "We can't expose the location of the entrance and exit of the blockade network. You can't leave until it's safe. ”

Fang Lei glanced up at the entrance and exit of the blockade net that was almost close in front of him. "Time is running out. So I went and led them away. You take this opportunity and leave quickly. Take a closer look at coping strategies. ”

Chen Tianci frowned and reprimanded: "What nonsense are you talking about? We are now brothers, born together and died together. Ten good brothers have died. How could I possibly let you go on an adventure alone again? ”

"It's a critical situation right now, and I can't take care of it too much. You and I have to have someone to do the bait. ”

"Nonsense! Here Lao Tzu has the final say. You keep me alone. Let's see how it goes. Chen Tian gave the final decision.

Fang Lei shook his head helplessly. But there was a look of gratitude in his eyes.

More and more dust rose in the distance. Chen Tianci's eyes narrowed slightly. He took a closer look around him and settled on a low hill.

The surface of that hill is all craggy and strange, and there is a large hidden space.

"Let's go and hide in that place." Chen Tianci pointed to the hill in the distance and hurried over with Fang Lei.

The rocky hills provided Chen Tianci and the others with an excellent hiding place. While informing Ye Feng and the others, Chen Tianci hid with Fang Lei among the strange rocks on the hill.

After Ye Feng received Chen Tianci's order, he stayed at the entrance and exit of the nearest blockade. Chen Tianci quickly turned off the communicator and remained silent with Fang Lei.

Soon, a large number of people appeared in Chen Tianci's field of vision. He was surprised to find that many of the men were dressed in mercenary costumes.

"Could it be the survivor of the mercenaries who came in before?" Chen Tianci secretly guessed in his heart.

But when he looked closely, he rejected the idea. Those wearing mercenary costumes had varying degrees of mutations in their limbs. Some of them have strange markings on their faces.

After they came to the location where Chen Tianci and Fang Lei were before, they even sniffed the smell in the air with their noses.

Some of them even had sticky saliva dripping from the corners of their mouths.

All these signs indicate that this group of mercenaries is no longer the same as when they came in. They're probably already infected, and they've undergone serious mutations.

More dust was raised in the distance.

Not long after, an army of about 1,000 alienated people appeared in Chen Tianci's field of vision. Chen Tianci and Fang Lei glanced at each other and lowered their bodies.

With such an army of alienated people, the two of them have no chance of winning at all. Now once discovered, the two of them will have to wait for death.

The two of them lay quietly in place, not even daring to breathe.

The army of aliens who had arrived in the distance and the small group that had arrived before converged in one place. They communicated in a way that Chen Tianci could not understand.

One of the aliens who arrived first walked out of the group, and it walked in front of the army of aliens who had arrived, and stood with one of the people who had come out of the army.

Each of them has a tentacle sticking out of the top of their heads. The two tentacles intertwined. The two aliens remained motionless for a while, before the tentacles above their heads parted and returned.

Then, the two aliens suddenly threw their heads up to the sky and let out a strange chirp.

The sound was as if some kind of bug was screaming, and it was unusually harsh.

Chen Tianci and Fang Lei hurriedly closed their hearings and avoided this harsh sound. Both of them kept their eyes fixed on the distance without blinking, silently observing.

Chen Tianci noticed that the two alienated people who came out to exchange information had strange scales growing on their bodies. Those scales were similar to those on He Qichang, the shape-shifting humanoid beast he had encountered in Purple Gold City.

It's just very different in shape and color.

The scales on He Qichang's body are semi-oval scales like fish scales, with a slight reddish blue. The scales on the surface of the two alienated human bodies are as thin as cicada wings, and the whole body is flesh-colored.

If it weren't for Chen Tianci's extremely strong eyesight, it would be almost impossible to spot. But this also indirectly proves that there must be some connection between these alienated people and the Ferris cult behind He Qichang.

He Qichang's strength Chen Tianci has seen it. But that person was not an alienated person, he was a cultivator who had mastered some kind of inhuman transformation skill. The two people in front of him are different.

They are truly alienated people, and it is through mutation that this change occurs. Looking at the actions and actions of these two people, Chen Tianci judged that the bodies of these two people had been completely occupied by invading creatures.

At this moment, Chen Tianci faintly felt that their previous analysis of the Southern Islands was correct. The mutation here is most likely the ghost of the Ferris Cult. But what their purpose is, Chen Tianci still does not know.

The army of aliens suddenly scattered. Chen Tiancheng was surprised to find that this group of alienated people had actually started a search operation.

"There must be leaders among them." Chen Tianci judged.

"Could it be the same two guys who just exchanged messages?" He thought.

He took a closer look at the two guys who had been exchanging messages before. Under this look, Chen Tianci discovered an anomaly. The two guys were crouching in place at this point, the tentacles above their heads rising high.

They look as if they are worshipping the sky.

This strange behavior made Chen Tianci realize that something was wrong.

"Could it be that there is a bigger leader above the two of them?" An incredible guess flashed in Chen Tianci's heart.

In the world of living things, this hierarchy is extremely distinct. It is like an impregnable pyramid that has existed in the consciousness of living beings since the day they were born.

And the world of bugs is a strict pyramid structure. Their social structure presents a very homogeneous, top-down system.

"If that's the case, then there must be a worm king." Chen Tianci guessed.

If that's the case, the thousands of alienated people in front of him who have been occupied by amoeba insects, even if Chen Tianci sends a large army to eliminate them, I'm afraid it will only be a drop in the bucket, and it will not be able to destroy the pest problem rooted in the southern islands at all.

If you want to solve the problem once and for all, the only way to solve it is to find out that possible Worm King.
