Chapter 360: Flame Giant Worm of Unknown Origin (8)

The process is smooth, but there is always a pimple in Liu Hui's heart. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoWhat is the problem with the Lake of Ice and Fire, why don't even the awakened animals dare to approach? The Lake of Ice and Fire is definitely the focus of human construction activities in the future, and there must not be any unknown hidden dangers.

The glacial lake is crystal clear, there should be no problem, the key to the problem is still in that pool of magma. Maybe in that pool of magma, there are some terrifying existences swimming around. However, the geomagnetic survey just now has proved that the bottom of the lake of fire is also flat, and there is nothing but the gushing spring.

If there really could be a problem, it could only be that there was something unknown in the spring. Although it is called a spring, the diameter of nearly 10 meters is more like a bottomless pit. The exploration of the glacial lake spring had already been partially launched, but after going deep for 3,000 meters and still not bottoming, Liu Hui ordered the exploration to be stopped.

According to preliminary estimates, the depth of the glacial lake springs is at least 5,000 meters, and possibly even 10,000 meters, reaching deep into the earth's crust. As for the spring of the fire lake, Liu Hui speculated that it might be directly connected to the mantle, to the endless magma layer of the mantle. If that's the case, then the danger factor of the Lake of Ice and Fire may have to be reassessed.

Again, humans have been able to land on Mars, but their knowledge of the thick ground under their feet is not even the tip of the iceberg. What is in the mantle, no one can say. Whether or not there are creatures that can survive in magma is a direct yes or no judgment.

The lower creatures in the Age of the Gods awakened, the more perverted they became, and in addition to microbes, some ancient species such as links and arthropods became more and more terrifying. In true arousal intensity, invertebrates are far stronger than vertebrates. This kind of strength is not a little bit strong, but a comprehensive suppression in addition to wisdom.

If it weren't for the fact that invertebrates wake up much more slowly than vertebrates, then the earth might not be human anymore. Humans can still live in harmony with ordinary awakened animals today, largely because of the existence of those invertebrates, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and this sentence is true everywhere.

If there are any other animals on Earth that can swim in magma, it is probably one of those invertebrates. Creatures that only have instincts are incapable of communicating at all, and even if they are awakened, they still have only the instincts of eating and mating in their minds.

If that terrible awakened invertebrate really exists, it really needs to be considered more deeply. The first priority is to figure out if there is an awakened creature that can travel through the lava, and what to do with it once it is determined to be safe.

At present, there are no accompanying personnel and equipment that can complete this kind of task, and in order to really find out the situation, additional personnel and equipment need to be dispatched. Liu Hui and the others can now be said to have completed the set goals excellently, and they can directly return to the forward base. Even though there was a small pimple in their hearts, the restrictions on supplies also required Liu Hui and them to return.

After sorting out everything, Liu Hui and the others took the collected samples and embarked on the journey back. As the vehicle moved away, the Lake of Ice and Fire returned to calm again. When Liu Hui and his party completely left, the originally calm fire lake suddenly burst into waves. In the calm magma lake, a stream of magma erupted. Beneath the magma, a huge figure looms.

"It appeared, and sure enough," Liu Hui, who was sitting on the troop carrier, muttered to himself as he looked at the computer in his hand, which had lost its video signal. Although Liu Hui left with the car, he left a monitor near the fire lake. In the moment before the monitor was destroyed, Liu Hui clearly saw the huge black shadow.

The surge of magma destroyed the surveillance drone, but it also gave Liu Hui a glimpse of the corner of the mysterious existence. The live feed has been interrupted, but the footage has been recorded. Through the enlargement and analysis of the picture, Liu Hui barely saw the corner of that existence.

Worms, an ancient invertebrate. The most famous annelid is the earthworm, which is also one of the most common of us. In Age of the Gods, earthworms have undergone tremendous changes after awakening. The original slender earthworms have become the size of ordinary snakes, but fortunately, their temperament is still docile, and they still only like to silently loosen the land there.

But not all worms are harmless, and the Death Worm is one of them. What was once thought to be a myth or a catch by some people has been found in the Age of the Gods, and the Death Bug is the most famous of them.

There is a bizarre legend in the Mongolian Gobi Desert -- in the vast Gobi sand dunes, there is often a huge blood-red bug infested, they are very strange shapes, will spray a highly corrosive and poisonous liquid, in addition, these huge insects can also radiate a strong electric current from the eyes, so that people or animals several meters away are killed instantly, and then slowly devour the prey...... People call it the "Worm of Death".

When people first hear about the Mongolian legend of the "Death Bug", they think it's just a made-up joke, just like the weird bugs in science fiction movies and comic strips. But the "Death Bug" does not seem to be an absurd legend, and many eyewitness accounts of it are surprisingly consistent: it lives under the sand dunes of the Gobi Desert, is about 5 feet long, has a red body, has dark spots on its body, has a spike-like head and tail, and has vague head organs.

According to eyewitnesses, the appearance of the "Death Bug" is a sign of death and danger, as it not only spews deadly venom, but also emits a strong electric current from the eye to kill prey several feet away, and it is a blessing that we are lucky to survive.

The Death Worm in the Age of the Gods has skyrocketed to five meters in length and nearly one meter in diameter at breast height. The highly corrosive venom can easily erode through the frontal armor of the main battle tank, and the current is powerful enough to instantly turn humans into char. The social nature of the Death Worm has completely escaped the control of humans, and it is simply not comparable to humans.

Fortunately, the Death Worm has always stayed in the depths of the desert and will not have any impact on the normal life of human beings. Whether the worms that appeared in the lake of fire would be similar to the worms of death, and if so, how many of them would be, it is still unknown.
