0359 Ice Worm
Originally, Xiao Chu and Sasha didn't have much hope, but people are not as good as heaven, and when the two of them wanted to return, they found Bella and Old Tucker, and the two of them were lucky, if Xiao Chu and Sasha hadn't discovered this quartz cave, thus delaying the time, I'm afraid they would have left this egg room.
Bella and Old Tucker fell on the eggs below, fortunately, the shell of the eggs was soft, which played a certain cushioning role, otherwise, the height of these few meters was enough for them, and after the ice worm spit out the two of them, and then spit out three humanoid objects, but they were people Xiao Chu didn't know.
Why did Sasha lean into Xiao Chu's ear and asked softly, "Are they still alive?" ”
Xiao Chu hurriedly turned on the special vision, and among the five people who were spit out by the ice worm, one of them was dead, and it was darkness in Xiao Chu's eyes, and the other four were radiating a faint green light outward, like a candle in the wind, swaying, and seemed to be extinguished at any time.
"One more breath, we'll ...... when the ice worm leaves."
"Hiss! Hiss! ”
Suddenly, a piercing sound of insects interrupted Xiao Chu's whispering, and from the gaps in those dense insect eggs, countless ice insect larvae suddenly came out, although they were larvae, they were as thick as a human arm, as if they were countless writhing pythons, and swarmed towards the 'feed'.
"What to do!" Sasha was in a hurry, the number of larvae was at least hundreds, even if it was a mouthful, it could gnaw the five people clean, and Sasha also felt afraid for a while, just now the two of them were so close to the eggs that they didn't find that there were so many hatching larvae hidden in the pile of eggs.
Xiao Chuna had time to reply, and at the same time as those larvae appeared, he already knew that it was impossible to wait until the ice worm left to save them, so he had decisively stretched out his hand, used the ability of air condensation, and made two air hooks, and when he saw Bella and Old Tucker, he wanted to hook them back. There's no way, he only has such a great ability now, and he can only save two people at most, not to mention that he has to leave some energy to escape.
The intelligence of the ice worms is not high, and they have no vision, so they can neither feel the energy fluctuations, nor can they see Bella and Old Tucker suddenly fly out of thin air, flying towards the hole in the wall not far away, but they have a very keen sense of touch and are very sensitive to the flow of air, Bella and Old Tucker flew up out of thin air, driving the flow of air, and the ice worm hanging upside down on the ceiling suddenly let out a piercing scream, but it was those larvae who suddenly rushed towards Xiao Chu like crazy.
"Not good!" Xiao Chu was shocked in his heart, although those larvae were small, they were extremely flexible, and they had already rushed to Xiao Chu in the blink of an eye, Xiao Chu reflexively pulled out a hand and held the larva that catapulted to the door in front of him.
The strength of the larva shocked Xiao Chu, although the body of the worm was similar to the thickness of Xiao Chu's arm, the power that erupted in it, even Xiao Chu, who had been strengthened by the ability of the claws, was a little difficult to resist.
Xiao Chu gathered his strength and turned the hand holding the larva into an alloy blade, and the larva suddenly let out a miserable scream, and the entire body was cut in two, spraying a strange milky white liquid.
"Run!" Xiao Chu took out the time, turned around and pushed Sasha back into the quartz cave, and the other hand that was still maintaining the air barb also pulled hard, but it dragged Bella back, Xiao Chu sighed in his heart, and threw Bella to Sasha. As for Old Tucker, his luck was not as good as Bella's, just now Xiao Chu was the larva who dragged his hand to resist, so now Old Tucker has been overwhelmed by the swarm, and even the bones have been gnawed and eaten.
Sasha put Bella on her shoulder, turned around and ran a few steps, but found that Xiao Chu did not follow, she was shocked, and turned around again, only to see Xiao Chu blocked the entrance of the cave, covered with black rock armor, and was desperately waving the alloy claws of both hands to block the crazy swarm.
"Hey! Let's go! Sasha shouted anxiously.
"You go first! I can withstand it! Xiao Chu said as he mobilized the last of his energy, and released a powerful electric shock in front of him, and the electric light of thousands of thin hairs, shining with dazzling silver-purple light, intertwined into a dense power grid in front of Xiao Chu.
The lightning flashed and disappeared, like an old-fashioned flashing light, with a little spark bursting out, and Xiao Chu was already full of larvae that had fallen to the ground, some curled up in a ball, and some were convulsive, Xiao Chu did not try to burn all these larvae into charcoal, that would consume too much energy, and his purpose was just to make them temporarily lose their mobility.
It's just that the number of larvae is too much, and Xiao Chu's electric shock only hit a few hundred larvae this time, which is less than one-tenth of the total number of larvae, Xiao Chu just made the attack of the swarm a little sluggish, followed by more crazy larvae.
What's even more troublesome is that the adult ice worm finally joined the battle with a scream, although it still fell on the ceiling, its body was long enough to reach the place where Xiao Chu was standing.
Xiao Chu's understanding of this adult ice insect is almost zero, but a larva can compete with the physical strength he has strengthened at the moment, and it can be imagined how great the strength of this adult ice insect will be, which is not at all what Xiao Chu's strength can resist. However, Xiao Chu couldn't retreat, because he was blocking the entrance to the cave at the moment, and if he let these ice insect larvae rush out of the egg room and disperse into the quartz mine cave, it would be really difficult.
There was no way, Xiao Chu had no choice but to bite the bullet, taking advantage of the gap between the subsequent larvae and not rushing up, his left hand wanted to stretch forward, the internal bones of his arm seemed to be mechanically driven, and the arm bones stretched out from his wrist, it was the use of the 'firearms' ability obtained from Ivan to turn the entire left arm into a spear of nearly two meters, however, judging from that caliber, it may be more appropriate to call it a 'cannon'.
In fact, this ability was originally very powerful, as long as there is a supply of ammunition, it is almost equivalent to carrying a heavy fire support team with you, and the power of the cannon is not something that one or two modified people can replace, but it also has an Achilles heel, and it is also a problem with ammunition, if there is no ammunition, this ability is almost completely useless. Moreover, the most important point is that this ability actually acts on the bones, and every time it is used, it will inevitably tear the skin and muscles, and the pain is not discounted at all, Xiao Chu doesn't want to have nothing to do with himself, so he will never use this ability.
Xiao Chu didn't carry a cannonball with him, and it wasn't a joke if that thing accidentally exploded, but after Eden's training, it gave him a new way to use it, which was to use the ability of 'air solidification' to create an 'air cannonball', using highly coagulated hardened air as the warhead, and then using highly compressed air as gunpowder to shoot the warhead with the help of air pressure.
Although the warhead has no explosive power, the highly compressed air can provide a huge amount of kinetic energy to the warhead, almost equivalent to a kinetic energy cannonball, and the power is at least not less than that of Madatina's copycat version of the electromagnetic railgun with steel balls as projectiles.
Of course, if Xiao Chu can find a suitable metal warhead, and on the basis of compressed air acceleration like Madatina, further use electromagnetic force to accelerate the warhead, it will be able to exert greater power, almost on par with the real electromagnetic railgun, but now that he has come, Xiao Chu really can't do this, first, there is no metal warhead, and second, the energy in the body is not enough to support electromagnetic acceleration.
However, even so, the power of the 'super compressed air cannon' using the 'air warhead' still cannot be ignored, although Xiao Chu's cannon was a bit hasty and the preparation time was insufficient, but it still exerted unexpected power.
At the moment of firing the cannon, a Xiao Chu as the center, it actually provoked a visible shock wave, which shot out in a ring, if it were not blocked by the wall, it would definitely show a beautiful circular ripple, the deafening huge sound, compared to Tiana's giant sniper rifle, the entire egg room seemed to be shaken by it, and the rubble on the four walls fell.
The ice worm that was directly hit by the 'air cannonball', it was like a pendulum that had fallen but was violently knocked away with a bat, the whole body swung to the other side, and the head was blurred with flesh and blood, but what flowed out was a milky white liquid, it is estimated that this should be the blood of the ice worm, they can survive in the Antarctic ice, there must be some kind of substance in the body that plays a role in anti-freezing, and its secret is likely to be in this milky white blood.
Although the blow was successful, Xiao Chu didn't have much time to be happy, although the ice worm was hit hard, but obviously there was no danger to life, his body writhed and swung back towards Xiao Chu, and his body still blocked the only passage, Xiao Chu and Sasha wanted to go back the same way, I am afraid that it is impossible.
There was no way, Xiao Chu put away the cannon barrel in his left hand, endured the pain to restore it to its original state, and then urged the last energy in his body, quickly touched the surroundings of the cave he was standing on, and transformed all kinds of rocks and crystals in the entire cave into bombs, and finally flew back and retreated.
After the roar, the entire cave entrance became a ruin, and even the collapse of the crystals on the wall buried the entire cave entrance, and not a single ice insect larvae came out.
The symbol on his arm had completely lost its light, Xiao Chu felt a little out of strength, sat on a quartz crystal and gasped for breath, and when he turned around, he found Sasha standing three meters away in a daze.
Xiao Chu showed an ugly smile and said, "We seem to be buried alive." (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
