Chapter 184: Exploring the Wormhole (Part II)
A large labyrinth has been dug out by big insects under the clearing, like a big net buried in the ground, enclosing Yangcheng in it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Chen Zhen walked straight to the east, walked out of the clearing area, and came to the bottom of the dense forest belt, the appearance of the cave changed, there were tree roots everywhere, the top of the cave and the wall of the cave were full of roots, and the bottom of the cave was broken and bitten off by big insects because of the block.
Judging from the wetness of the section of the roots, the roots have only recently been broken, the holes in the ground have been dug recently, why the big insects have such collective behavior, and what is the purpose of burying near Yangcheng, no one knows, most insects have a strong ability to endure hunger, do not need to consume too much heat to maintain body temperature, and can lie dormant for a long time.
But the people of Yangcheng will not wait to starve to death, many stone hunters and soldiers can rush out to carry food, can use plants to survive, really can't carry some trees back to eat, kill big insects can also eat, and mutant creatures can only eat meat, compared to consumption, the loss is still big bugs.
They have come here en masse, and it must have something to do with it, and if you find it, you may be able to find the answer.
Continuing to go east, using the darkness to avoid a head-on battle with the big insects, Chen Zhen walked out of the dense forest belt again, and there were fewer and fewer branches and forks, and finally, there was only a straight and spacious tunnel leading to the eastern seaside, with a diameter of about three meters, and there were no big insects in sight.
It was pitch black, there was no end in sight, the ground was uneven, he didn't feel anything unusual, just walked forward cautiously, the last time he went to the beach, Yang Yan and Fan Hu met the black shadow first, but the black shadow ignored them at all, and walked straight to the west, just to find Chen Zhen, and then erected a wall of insects and hid inside, also to wait for Chen Zhen, indicating that it could sense the existence of Chen Zhen, and the perception distance was at least ten kilometers.
If the black shadow is also underground, it can know that Chen Array is approaching from a long distance, and prepare in advance, the situation will be very unfavorable for Chen Array.
After walking a few thousand meters forward, the road suddenly divided into two, one to the left and one to the right, and when he got closer, the picture he saw coincided with a certain picture in his memory, and he still didn't know what the picture was for, it was not a foreshadowing, and it couldn't provide clues on which way to go, and Chen Zhen had to choose which one to go first.
He chose the right side, because there was a breeze blowing from the right, a breeze that only the hair could feel, and if there was a wind, it meant that it was outside, probably the beginning of this cave.
It didn't take long for the hole to become less straight, crooked, and difficult to see ahead, and after a few small turns, a huge mutant worm stood in front of it.
The grasshopper is commonly known as the sole of straw shoes, a multi-legged creature, and the centipede is a close relative, the body is relatively short, but the feet are very long, it looks much more disgusting than the centipede, the appearance alone can make people goosebumps, seeing Chen Zhen, it immediately rushed over, very fierce, the eyes are red, it should have eaten the same kind, and got crazy.
This mutant worm is poisonous, not spewing out, but covering the body, similar to the mutant cryptoptera that Chen Zhen has seen, Chen Zhen has no weapon when dealing with the mutant cryptopterus, but now he has a pair of goose feather knives.
The feet were too long, the road was blocked, and it had to be killed, and the blade could not directly cut the identity of the mutant worm, Chen Zhen waved his double knives to fight with it, and cut off his feet one by one, it didn't know that it hurt, and frantically wanted to touch Chen Zhen.
It took a lot of time to finally smash the head of the mutant worm, and it was still spinning around in the hole, and even climbed to the top of the cave, fell down again, and couldn't get over while lying down.
The hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, its extremely long feet are still waving, if it breaks hard, it is likely to be swept by the foot, Chen Zhen continued to chop, trying to open up a way, but it didn't take long for a big insect to come in front of him.
It was an earthworm, wriggling and crawling over, just like Miao Dong's sandworm, the front end had formed mouthparts, and when it opened it was a black hole with fangs, it didn't care about Chen Zhen, but bit the tail of the mutant worm and began to devour.
The mutant earthworm can secrete venom, both on the surface of the body and in the body, and the mutant earthworm has a scorched green smoke coming out of its mouth, rolling on the ground in pain, rolling around, but it does not let go, it is much stronger than the mutant worm, and the corpse of the mutant worm keeps hitting the wall, and the steps of the worm fall off one after another.
Chen Zhen stood in the distance and watched, the earthworm has no eyes, and this mutated one has not grown, but its behavior is too strange, crazy refers to crazy attack behavior, no distinction between friend and foe, never die, but it does not become irrational, will not harm itself, otherwise it would have killed itself a long time ago, if the mutant earthworm is alive and fighting, the mutant earthworm may fight with it regardless of the pain, but it may leave after being killed, after all, venom will cause damage to it, tossing the corpse is very abnormal, its stomach is bulging, It doesn't look like I'm hungry.
After swallowing the small half of the worm, the earthworm's movements slowed down, looking very tired and dying, and finally, the body slowly curled up, coiled like a mosquito coil, motionless, and the mutant worm stopped moving, like a thick stick sideways.
The road was still blocked, but Chen Zhen could already climb to the top of the cave and crawl over the earthworm, he didn't move, trying to figure out what he was doing, since he was here to investigate, this abnormal behavior naturally had to be observed clearly, he stood in place and looked at it, dug out a piece of soil from the cave wall, pinched it, and smashed it hard at the earthworm.
The clod of dirt smashed into the mutant earthworm's wear-resistant rubber-like body, bounced up and hit the roof of the cave and fell back to the ground, but the mutant earthworm remained motionless.
Is it really dead?
Chen Zhen quietly walked over, carefully stepped over the falling steps on the ground, came to the earthworm's side, and stretched out his knife to stab the mutant earthworm.
Suddenly, it jumped up violently, rolled and bounced around in the hole, slamming the roof and walls of the cave into a "thump", making countless small pits, as if it was experiencing another kind of pain, more painful than the mutant worm that devoured its venom.
Hurriedly almost hit, hurriedly jumped back, crawled back along the cave wall, and continued to observe.
After jumping for about half a minute, the mutant earthworm quieted down, its body seemed to be a little thicker, and its bulging abdomen became flat, as if it was sweating profusely, its body became sticky, and after resting for a while, it crawled in the direction where Chen Zhen was, touched the corpse of the mutant earthworm, and immediately turned its head and bit again.
And this time, the earthworm's mouth was no longer smoking, and it did not have any painful reaction, easily devouring the remaining mutant worms.
It is impossible for the venom to fail in a few minutes, the worm has not changed, it has become an earthworm, it seems to have the ability to resist venom, and the sticky thing on its body seems to be venom, that is, it has the ability to mutate the worm.
Evolve?
Chen Zhen frowned slightly, biological evolution usually takes tens to millions of years, even if it is a genetic mutation, it will take a long time for the mutated gene to stabilize, from the earliest single-celled organisms to the current mammalian primates, human beings have experienced at least three genetic mutations, and the time unit of the whole process is "100 million years".
In just a few minutes, the mutant earthworm can resist the venom of the mutant earthworm, which is too fast.
What's next?
The mutant earthworm crawled back, Chen Zhen quietly followed, and after walking for a while, he came to a "maze" dug out by a big bug.
It's just that this labyrinth, not as neat as the one outside Yangcheng, has been punched out of countless large holes, and there are far fewer big bugs, but each one has eyes with red light, and each one can't tell what it is.
This is a battlefield, an underground battlefield of mutant creatures, the earthworm should be a lucky one, it got out of the battlefield, ate the mutant worm, unfortunately he returned to the battlefield, did not climb far, when crawling through a fork in the road, a huge scythe stretched out from the fork in the road, "poof" into the earthworm's body.
The mutant earthworm bounced up again because of the pain, and took out the sickle, and smoke rose from the sickle, with a strong burning smell, and then, a huge mutant mantis with a scorpion tail came out and kept attacking the earthworm with a giant scythe, and soon clamped it, and took the earthworm to its mouth to eat.
Just like the earthworm eats the worm, the mutant mantis becomes very painful, throws away the earthworm, keeps wiping its mouth with its sickle, and then lies on its stomach.
Unfortunately, it failed to gain the abilities that the earthworm possessed, and something bigger than it appeared, and a slow-moving, spiky mutant slug crawled over and encased the mantis inside, and the mutant slug was much larger than the mantis.
It's a battlefield where mutated creatures devour each other and gain the abilities of other mutated creatures.
Chen Zhen thought of Gu, locked countless poisons together, fought and devoured each other, and the last one left was the most powerful and powerful, the more powerful this kind of thing became more and more powerful, and the more mysterious it became, it was about to become a myth, but everything he saw in front of him now was no different from raising Gu.
Especially in Gu raising, it can summon mutant creatures, can control mutant creatures, dig out the battlefield, limit their range of activities, let them fight with each other, devour, evolve or mutate, you can have very powerful mutant creatures, it will inevitably "go crazy", and it can be completely controlled by crazy mutant creatures.
The mutant slug was so large that it almost filled the underground passage, and after eating the mutant mantis and then the mutant earthworm, it lay on the ground and did not move.
Slowly, its body shrunk and became tighter, a bit like a fat earthworm, with a giant scythe in front of its body, and Chen Zhen couldn't see it in the back, but it should grow a scorpion tail, which is more flexible after "losing weight", the spikes can defend against attacks, and the sickle and scorpion tail can attack, I'm afraid it's hard to have any mutated creatures that are the opponents of this slug now.
Of course, it's no longer a slug.
