"Rustle, rustle, rustle......" An ethereal sound sounded from all directions at the same time, and these ethereal sounds floated into the ears of several people. [Full text reading. 】

Several people with brighter ears frowned at the same time, and several of them invariably discovered one thing, that is, these rustling sounds sounded very familiar, as if several people had heard them before.

Chen Ziyang patted his forehead vigorously, wanting to make his brain more awake, but he didn't know if it was because he had been in the oxygen-deprived underground for a long time, or because the intensity of the battle during this time was too great and too tired, he couldn't remember where he had heard this kind of voice.

The same goes for everyone else. Because of the early warning of the ground green insects, several people were all vigilant and looked around. After a few seconds, the rustling sound did not stop, but tended to get louder and louder.

Because he found that the nine armors were different from before, when he looked around vigilantly, Chen Ziyang still focused on the nine armors. He was surprised to find that the thick layer of white dust attached to the nine pieces of armor actually moved.

How is it possible for dust to move on its own? Chen Ziyang suddenly realized that something was not quite right. He narrowed his eyes and looked carefully, only to realize that the layer of dust attached to the armor was not dust, but seemed to be dense white insects.

"Oh my God, isn't that the white bug among those black and white Gu worms! Why did you run out again? Shangguan Kangning's sudden voice startled several other people.

As the so-called word woke up the person in the dream, Shangguan Kangning's words made several other people wake up in an instant. Yes, no wonder this rustling sound sounds so familiar, it turns out to be made by these bugs.

The layer of dust attached to the nine pieces of armor was like a thick layer of dust was those white Gu worms, because the reason why these bugs had been lying on the armor and standing still before, so several people all regarded these bugs as a thick layer of dust, and now I don't know why, these Gu worms actually moved, which made these people see it clearly.

In addition to the white bugs lying on the armor, there were also patches of black areas on the rock wall that wriggled around the edges. Without looking closely, a few people knew that those wriggling black shadow-like things were swarms of black Gu worms.

When a few people arrived here before, before they found the stone slab with the pattern of the Y yang fish, it was those black and white insects that showed them the way, and when those insects crawled out, they made such a rustling sound.

But at that time, all the black and white insects had rushed out, and they ate all the very small black and white fungi that had matured and were hidden in the soil.

When the food was eaten by the black and white Gu worms, the bugs had returned to the rock wall and hidden. It stands to reason that these bugs should have entered a state similar to hibernation, and will not wake up again until the next time the black and white fungus matures, and should not reappear at this time.

The fungi on the ground have just been eaten, and now there are still ten years before the next time those fungi mature, but why did these Gu worms appear again, and it seems that these Gu worms are not looking for food.

Looking in the direction of the nine armors again, Chen Ziyang suddenly woke up, this was really a mistake, and he didn't expect that one of his unintentional actions was actually the cause of waking up these insects in advance.

Yuan Tiangang's mechanism is very cleverly designed, he uses the formation of nine armors to slowly extract mana, when these mana into the armor, in addition to slowly accumulating, it will also spread to the surrounding soil.

These diffuse mana are the necessary nutrients for the growth of those fungi hidden in the soil, and with the nourishment of mana, these fungi will grow slowly, and will mature when the mana contained in the nine armors reaches its peak and the formation composed of armor is activated.

When these fungi mature, they will wake up the black and white Gu worms that have fallen into hibernation, and these black and white Gu worms will burrow out of their hiding places and feast on these soils.

And when these Gu worms eat the tiny fungi hidden in the soil, they will attack the living creatures around them. However, because the formation of nine armors had already been activated at that time, if anyone in the know came here, they would be protected by this formation, thus avoiding dying under the mouths of these black and white Gu worms.

If there is nothing to eat, these black and white Gu worms will disperse and fall into a state of hibernation again, waiting for the arrival of the next decade.

And it was precisely because Chen Ziyang and the others inadvertently pulled out the sword of the lightning strike wood in the battle with Ju M that these Gu worms woke up early, or when they were about to fall into hibernation, they dispelled their sleepiness.

After the Lightning Strike Wooden Sword was pulled out, the formation of nine armors lost its source of mana. This sudden change disrupted the habits of these black and white Gu worms.

So these things did not fall into a state of hibernation, but gathered around, until Chen Ziyang and others appeared, the smell on their bodies was slowly captured by these Gu worms, and these things changed, it seems that these black and white Gu worms obviously want to continue their uneaten dinner.

It wasn't until all the bugs were moving that a few people found out that these bugs had blocked the way for the six people, and the passage from the witch tribe to the outside world was all occupied by these bugs, and if you wanted to go up to the ground, you had to pass through the swarm of bugs.

"Shangguan Kangning, do you have any way!" Sensing the abnormal movements of these Gu insects around them, several people became nervous, and Chen Ziyang hurriedly asked Shangguan Kang Ning.

Now a few people happened to be in the middle of the whole clearing, and the surrounding rock walls and the ground were all crawling with these black and white insects, and if they were washed up by these things, a few people would definitely not be able to fall behind.

The number of these Gu worms can be described innumerable, when they confronted these insects head-on before, several people already knew how powerful these things were, and being surrounded by such a large number of Gu worms, they didn't have to think about it, they knew what the consequences would be.

But now that the magic weapons of several people have been almost used, and their physical strength and mana have also been exhausted, although they have rested for a period of time and their physical strength has recovered, it is not enough to deal with the Gu worms all over the ground, and now the only way to let everyone get out safely is Shangguan Kangning alone.

"Me? What can I do! From behind Chen Ziyang came the roar of Shangguan Kangning.

Although Shangguan Kangning's identity is a Gu Master, but the Gu Master is not as good as the generation, and the people who play Gu now are not comparable to those Gu Masters more than a thousand years ago, not to mention that these Gu worms are still cultivated by the Witch Gu tribe, and they are the elite among the Gu worms.

Shangguan Kangning has a lot of Gu worms on his body, but he can't compete with these Gu worm army in front of him, his only trump card is also the biggest reliance, the Golden Silkworm Gu King is still in the cocoon.

And it seems that there is no intention to break out of the cocoon in a short period of time, so the current Shangguan Kangning is also empty-handed, and there is nothing he can do.

The black and white insects around slowly crawled in the direction of several people, probably because of caution, these insects were not fast when crawling, but slowly approached in the direction of six people, occupying the open space little by little.

However, the slow crawling speed of these Gu worms put more pressure on the six people, and an invisible sense of spiritual oppression gradually formed in the hearts of the six people, and sweat oozed from their foreheads.

Chen Ziyang looked around at the situation in the field, according to the crawling speed of these Gu worms now, in five or six minutes, these worms would come to the front of the six people, if you didn't want to confront these worms head-on, you had to think of a way within these few minutes.

If you want to get out of here, you have to pass through the nine armors where a few people are, and then enter the passage up to the ground. But now, the area between the nine armors and the passage from which they left was all occupied by Gu worms, and it was not so easy to rush through.

Aside from the open space without Gu worms around a few people, the only safe place was the passage to the underground world that a few people had just climbed up.

"Eryang, what should I do? What can I do? Yang Lei tightened the strap of his backpack full of treasures, and raised the sapper shovel with both hands, revealing a desperate posture, according to his personality, he would definitely fight with these Gu worms in front of him for the treasure in this pocket.

Although he hadn't thought of a way to deal with these Gu worms for the time being, after seeing the passage to the underground world, Chen Ziyang's heart was a little more relaxed. Even if there is no way to get up to the surface from here, at least the lives of the six people are not in danger for the time being, so they will return the same way and return to the underground world where the underground lake is located again.

A few people are still carrying a small amount of explosives, and it is no problem to blow up this passage to the underworld, when the time comes, six people will go into the underground world, and then blow up the passage, you can block these black and white Gu worms from the underground world.

Anyway, the oxygen in that underground world is enough, and the supplies carried by a few people can last for four or five days, so it's a big deal to wander around the edge of the underground world and see if you can find other ways up to the surface.

The smell of sulfur contained in the air of the underground world is very light, which means one thing, the underground world must have a passage to the outside, and there may even be more than one, it is precisely because of the existence of these passages that the sulfur content in the air in the underground world is very low, and the oxygen is relatively sufficient.

Otherwise, more than a thousand years is enough time to fill the entire space with sulfur emitted from the underground lake, and the entire underground space should be filled with the smell of sulfur, as long as people enter it, they will be poisoned and faint.

However, if you want to return to the underground world again, there are two problems to face, the first is that the giant M is likely not dead yet, although the giant M was not lightly injured, but after all, he was still alive when several people left.

And because of the relatively light smell of sulfur in the air near the entrance, the activity area of this giant M has always been between the three islands in the middle of the lake, and it is very likely that a few people will encounter this behemoth again when they return to the underground world, which Chen Ziyang does not want to see.

The second problem that needs to be noted is that the area of the underground world is too large, and it is not easy to find the exit in a short time.

If the worst-case scenario occurs, and several people are trapped in the underground world and cannot find an exit until the food and fresh water run out, then the lives of several people will still be in danger, and this is not unlikely.

After figuring out these things in an instant, Chen Ziyang made a decision, if it was not a last resort, it was better for the team not to retreat to the underground world, in that case, there were too many variables, maybe something else would be involved.

However, with the existence of this retreat, his confidence has been greatly increased. He decided to give these Gu worms a fight within a few minutes, anyway, there was nothing to lose, if he could win and find a way to defeat these Gu worms, a few people would not only save a lot of time, but also reduce some variables and dangers.

But it was not an easy task to think of a way to defeat these Gu worms in a matter of minutes. Chen Ziyang racked his brains and couldn't come up with a perfect solution, after all, the state of his team was too poor.

If it was when he had just come here and the team was in the prime of state, there would still be a chance to give it a go against these Gu worms, but now, the probability of wanting to win is too low.

Shangguan Kangning took out the box containing the Golden Silkworm Gu King, he knew that this might be the team's only chance to win, but the golden silkworm cocoon inside had not changed at all, it seemed that the Golden Silkworm Gu King had no intention of waking up.

Holding the box to his ear and shaking it slightly, Shangguan Kangning shook his head at Chen Ziyang, with a disappointed expression on his face.

After nodding, Chen Ziyang understood what Shangguan Kangning meant, it seems that there is no way to deal with these black and white Gu worms, so don't lose the opportunity to retreat.

"Go back!" Chen Ziyang hurriedly beckoned to several other people and shouted loudly. And at this moment, a rumbling sound came from the passage to the underground world.
