Chapter Twenty-Six: A Thrilling Escape
The tube that protrudes from the body of the large fleshworm is transparent, and many things can be seen flowing down the tube into the gnoll's body. The latter has no ability to resist at all, so they can only be slaughtered by insects.
Next, the gnolls were let go, and the latter just twitched on the ground, and after waiting for about half an hour, its stomach began to bulge.
Screaming, screaming!
The gnolls had suffered a terrible encounter that it had never experienced in its life, and the screams lasted for a full hour.
In this hour, Lin Fei and Aino just looked at it, and the passion of the two of them just now had been completely smoothed out by the screams of the jackal. Looking at the miserable appearance of the jackals, the two of them had the idea that they would rather die than be caught by these bugs.
At this moment, the gnoll's belly had swelled very much, and the latter's screams gradually became smaller.
You can see something constantly swimming on its swollen belly, and it seems that there is a lot of things in it that are struggling to get out.
"What's that?" Aino asked in a low voice at this time.
Lin Fei shook his head and motioned for Aino not to speak.
The next moment, the gnoll's stomach was directly burst, and the latter died tragically on the spot, and from its stomach, hundreds of larvae crawled out. The entire abdominal organ of the jackal has been eaten by these larvae, and at this moment, it is an empty skin sac.
This scene was extremely bloody and terrifying, and when Aino saw it, her body couldn't help but shook, and her arm accidentally touched a wreckage, making a slight sound.
"Not good!" Lin Fei's eyes shrank, knowing that something bad was going to happen.
Sure enough, with this sound, the five-colored king insect suddenly raised its head and looked at the pile of bones where Lin Fei and Aino were hiding.
Aino also knew that he was in trouble, but his face was pale with fright. I didn't know what to do in an instant.
The five-colored king insect let out a hiss at this moment, and suddenly, more than twenty insects approached the corpse pile, and these insects all stretched out sharp forelimbs and made an attack posture.
Situation crisis!
Lin Fei knew that if he relied on force, he and Aino together would not be the opponent of the five-color king insect, let alone the five-color king worm. The sheer number of bugs here.
What's next?
Lin Fei's mind was racing, and he quickly thought of countermeasures, and at this moment, several insects had already crawled to a place less than four or five meters away from the corpse pile.
Moment. Lin Fei thought of something.
"That's right, Mask of Deception!"
A prop that can disguise the wearer as a worm man, at first Lin Fei thought that he was afraid that he would not be able to use it, but now. That thing was clearly the only option.
Thinking of this, Lin Fei quickly took out the two fraudulent masks he had hit. Then put it on for yourself and Aino.
Outside the corpse pile, several insects were already approaching, and then used their sharp forelimbs to pick up the corpse pile, looking for the person hiding inside. Around, there are already hundreds of insects densely packed around at this moment. It can be said that as soon as they find an enemy, they will launch a terrible attack.
And at this very time. One of the corpses on the pile moved, and then was pushed off.
All the bugs were ready to attack, and at this moment, from the pile of corpses, two ugly-looking bugmen came out.
The insects around it relaxed directly. Even the five-colored king insect was the same, no longer casting its gaze on the corpse pile. Instead, crawled there and began to rest.
A bug crawled past the two bugmen, rubbed its body, and then walked away in peace.
Thrilling!
Absolute thrills!
These two worm people are naturally Lin Fei and Aino after wearing the fraud mask, although the fraud mask is very disgusting, but this thing can at least save lives.
There was no doubt that the deception mask worked very well, and none of the bugs recognized either of them, except that they were their kind.
Seeing this scene, Lin Fei and Aino breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just that they are not out of danger, after wearing the fraud mask, Lin Fei and Aino know that this thing has a time limit. For an hour, the worm form only lasts for an hour, and after an hour, they will return to their original form.
So, they have to get out of here as soon as possible.
Since discovering that the corpses were two of the same kind, the worms in the cave ignored the two of them and went about their work. They clean up some of the excrement, gnaw on the corpses of the newly gnolls, and then throw the severed limbs onto the pile. In addition, there are many bugs that are responsible for picking up the larvae that have just made a sound and slowly crawling out.
Lin Fei and Aino glanced at each other, but they walked over slowly, grabbed one of the larvae scurrying on the ground, and walked out like those bugs.
To be honest, both Lin Fei and Aino were a little frightened in this process. They thought, what if the five-colored king worm finds out about them? What if the other party leaves on their own?
However, these worries have not come true, the five-color king insect has the spirit of a king, but it ignores other insects and sleeps on its own. This also made Lin Fei and Aino walk out of this huge cave in shock.
Outside the cave, there were also a lot of insects, and Lin Fei and the others didn't know where to go. So, the path they choose is the one that has as few bugs as possible.
It's just that the two of them still encountered a problem halfway.
A large bug glowing purple stopped them both.
Aino thought that he was exposed at this time, and his heart fell to the bottom, but Lin Fei remained silent and wanted to see what this insect was doing.
The other man hissed, then pointed with the head of the worm on the other side that was transporting the larvae.
In an instant, Lin Fei understood what the other party meant.
Obviously, the path taken by those bugs is where the larvae are transported. So, Lin Fei pulled Aino and followed a large number of insects in that direction.
Lin Fei's idea is very simple, that is, try to stay away from the five-color king worm, as long as they don't encounter monsters of that level, Lin Fei and Aino can still deal with it when they encounter trouble.
The two walked for more than half an hour, walked through countless forks, but arrived at a huge underground cave. Lin Fei glanced at his surroundings and his heart jumped.
They have already walked out of the hive!
The texture of the rock has been restored, and it is no longer the kind of building made of bug secretions. In front, there was also a huge palace, into which a large number of larvae were fed.
Lin Fei and the others didn't expect that the maze-like worm nest would come out in this way.
Looking back, Lin Fei saw an unimaginably huge insect nest, although it was only a small part of the insect nest, it still made people feel extremely shocked.
It can be said that if it were not for following these bugs, they would not have been able to come out of the maze of hives. Those 'deception masks' must have existed for this purpose.
There was a lot of space here, and Lin Fei looked around, looking for an opportunity to break away from the insect army. The time limit of their mask of deception is about to run out, and if they don't try to escape, the consequences will be recognized by these bugs.
When he arrived at a stone bridge, Lin Fei knew that the opportunity had come.
I don't know when this stone bridge was built, but it has obviously been a long time, and under the stone bridge is a dark abyss, and there is no bottom in sight.
Just as Lin Fei walked to the middle of the stone bridge, he secretly released a lightning storm behind him and in front of him at the same time. Suddenly the lightning flashed, and the insects on the stone bridge screamed from the electricity, these insects were extremely strong, although they did not die at the electricity, but the larvae they were holding were killed and injured heavily.
At the moment when Lin Fei released the lightning storm, he pulled Aino and jumped off the stone bridge.
Lin Fei didn't discuss the whole plan with Aino on the side, so he jumped off the stone bridge this time, and the latter was frightened.
It's just that Lin Fei obviously underestimated Aino's ability.
Originally, Lin Fei was going to fly with Aino in mid-air, but he didn't expect the latter to quickly regain his composure, and then cast a magic spell and turned into a crow.
This is the druid's flying form.
Seeing this, Lin Fei was also completely relieved, he stretched out his six wings and flew to the side along the abyss below, while Aino followed Lin Fei. The two flew for several minutes until they couldn't see any trace of the bugs before they landed.
Only then did the two know that they were completely out of danger.
After Aino returned to her human form, she didn't dare to look at Lin Fei, obviously, the 'passion' between the two of them in the cave before still made her feel embarrassed. Lin Fei didn't mention the previous incident, but the two had a tacit understanding to avoid talking about it. But obviously, the distance between the two has been shortened a lot.
"What do we do next?" Aino still broke the silence, she has been running for her life since she was rescued by Lin Fei, and now that she is safe, she doesn't know what to do.
"Find your sister!" Lin Fei's answer was very simple, he came this time for Emma's letter, so no matter what, he had to figure things out.
"By the way, your sister didn't say anything else to you? For example, why did she get here? Lin Fei still asked with some reluctance.
Aino shook her head, as if she was also recalling carefully, and after a while, she said: "No, my sister didn't say it, but I can see that she is very anxious about this matter, it seems that this matter must be done, at that time she often lost her temper, and I didn't dare to ask more!" ”
When Lin Fei heard this, he pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Is your sister usually a person who likes to lose her temper?" ”
Aino shook his head: "No, she almost never loses her temper!" ”
"Yes, Emma I know is also a thief who can calm down at all times, stay calm, this is the most basic quality of a thief, and this is what she taught me. So, think about it, what is it that can be worth your sister's loss of cool? Lin Fei asked a question that he thought was very crucial.
It must be extraordinary to make the sophisticated and calm Emma lose her calm, perhaps, Lin Fei can deduce Emma's intentions from this matter.
