Chapter 69: The Enemy's Gaze

"Buzzing", obviously I didn't see flying insects before, but the third layer of the cave was filled with the noisy sound of insects flapping their wings, which made people upset. Following the sound and observing the cave, surrounded by the crowded insect swarm, a medium-sized beetle more than one meter high and two meters long was lying in the middle of the cave, the beetle's wings spread slightly, and many small insects twenty or thirty centimeters long flew in and out from under its wings, making disturbing sounds.

This beetle was different from the giant beetle that looked like a heavy chariot that it had encountered before, and it was visually very special. On the surface, it looks like it's just an ordinary beetle magnified hundreds of times, with no sharp keratinized weapons, no vicious and violent acidic corrosive liquid, and the shape of the mouthparts doesn't seem to spray poison, it doesn't seem to be aggressive at all, just a little bigger.

However, if you look closely, you will find that the outer shell of its body is full of metallic luster, and between the opening and closing of its wings, the sound of gold and iron resonating from time to time comes out, and even the layer of transparent tulle used to fly under the unfolded shell flashes a metallic chill in the faint light from time to time, which shows that its entire body surface has been metallized, and it is probably harder than a real chariot.

Another special feature of it is that it has six legs, the legs of the metal beetle are extremely thick, even thicker than those giant beetles that are much larger than it, the six legs are full of explosive power, the two of them saw with their own eyes, it just inadvertently moved its legs, and a bottom insect that did not have long eyes was bounced and hit the wall, not only the carapace was shattered, but even knocked off a few edges and corners of the stone wall.

Excellent defense, excellent strength, and more importantly, a noticeable flow of energy can be detected in its body.

It's been almost four days since I arrived in this world, and although I haven't seen any intelligent creatures, I've seen a lot of bugs, and I've never met a bug that can manipulate energy. Unable to manipulate energy, no matter how powerful the physical fitness is, it is just an ordinary creature, and there is no energy infusion in the attack, so it is difficult to hurt a warrior, even a low-level warrior.

Because of this, everyone was relatively calm before, no matter how many bugs there were, as long as the energy of the fighters was not exhausted, it would be difficult to kill them, and the more threatened ones were just ordinary people. But now it's different, the insects have energy fluctuations in their bodies, which means that they already know how to manipulate energy, and the threat to the Pavatigars has increased dramatically. It would have been fine if the bugs had been fine before, but if they had just learned from the Parvatiga, their ability to learn would be terrible.

"Wei. Shuer slapped his thighs and pondered for a while, then asked in a low voice, "When you came into contact with the insect swarm before, did they show that they could store energy into their bodies and control them freely? No, there should be, you said that our strength is above the A-level among humans, but it can't reach the S-level, which means that there are stronger human individuals, and this kind of strength is probably impossible to achieve without using energy to strengthen the body." ”

"Yes, Commander, several elders in the Soul Clan's Bipolar Sanctuary, the four fangs in the Beast Clan, and the three S-level warriors of our Terran Race can all manipulate energy to fight. ”

"What about the swarm?" Shul asked, "The swarm must have such an individual, otherwise it would not be fought against by all races." ”

"The queen of the swarm, the main body is good at manipulating soul energy, and there are several of its guard insects, all of which can manipulate energy to strengthen the body to varying degrees, as for the other zergs, they are not very good at energy abilities, at most they just instinctively attach some energy to the attack. ”

"What a big surprise, should I be glad I didn't actually carry out the decapitation operation?" Shur looked at the beetle lying in the center of the cave with a wry smile, "If the strength of the Swarm Queen's guards is the same as this one, then it will be killed." ”

Indeed, the most special thing about this beetle is that the energy fluctuations in its body are very obvious, only to measure the energy intensity, it has exceeded eight high-level mercenaries, and only this level of combat power can withstand the attack of the mutant spider mother with the cooperation of other insects, and even injure the mutant spider mother's body head-on. It is estimated that it itself was also injured, but with the help of the fungus blanket, it has now recovered, and the mutant spider mother must have stopped this attack because she found that the enemy had recovered to a good state and could not take this opportunity to expand the results of the battle.

"Hum", the annoying sound of flapping wings suddenly stopped, and the metal beetle folded its wings and withdrew all the small beetles, and slowly crawled to the entrance of the cave and lay down, with obvious intentions, that is, to be ready to take the lead in the charge at any time to meet the next challenge of the mutant spider mother. They seem to have made up their minds to keep a firm grip on the projection gate, not to let the two creatures from Pavatiga escape, and they really don't know how deep the hatred is.

However, this is a bitter thing for Shul and Moria.

The two of them happened to be at the entrance of the cave, and the metal beetle stopped until they walked near the place where they were originally hiding, and the small body brought them huge psychological pressure, especially the two compound eyes that were larger than half a person, constantly reflecting the light from the outside world, no matter from which angle, they felt that the compound eyes were staring at themselves, and they even thought that they had been discovered, if it weren't for the excellent psychological quality of the two of them, they did not panic and always kept a steady speed to retreat, maybe they would have been discovered.

"Luckily, it stopped. ”

In the face of a bug whose combat power is at least equal to his own, or even stronger than himself, the two of them no longer dare to talk closely, if something is related to energy manipulation, it can't be considered with common sense, although the insect has no hearing organs, but maybe there is any other way to make up for it, if it is too big, in case it is found out because of the conversation, it will regret dying.

They didn't dare to talk, so the two had to quickly write in each other's palms, but fortunately, the tactile sense of the fighters was sharper than that of ordinary people, and it was still easy to recognize the words written by the other party.

"Eh, I found that the color of its carapace is ugly, there are blue and gray, how can there be such a strange color beetle, there is no consciousness of protecting the color at all. ”

"I said, don't you think it's a boring act to write for a long time just to say such nonsense?"

"Don't you think, and you're not doing the same thing, don't you think what you're writing isn't nonsense?"

"I heard that beetles like to eat plants the most, aren't you a tree? ”

"Eh, you're stupid, I'm obviously a deer, have you ever seen a tree with four legs that runs all over the ground? ”

"I've seen it, and now there's one in front of me. ”

Writing meaningless nonsense to each other, the two cautiously retreated little by little, slowly withdrawing from the metal beetle. They are not very worried about their safety, if they are discovered by beetles, as long as they retreat to the territory of burrowing spiders, there will naturally be mutant spider mothers to protect them, and in the same way, they can also use the same method if they are discovered by mutant spider mothers, so that they can also induce a battle between the two sides again, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

However, they don't want to be discovered, especially by the bugs, now Xiuer and Moria have been in and out of the soul clan base several times, relying on stealth techniques, and there are endless troubles after being discovered, so it's better to be careful.

With this mentality, the two finally retreated to safety silently, and they could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and they didn't have to hold hands all the time to write.

"Then why don't you let go of my hand, you're a plant-goer. ”

"No, I'm just thinking about pruning. ”

"Wow, what a demon, go away. ”

Adjusting the involuntary tension, the tense spirits of the two finally eased, and Moria's tone suddenly changed, and asked seriously: "Now that you have seen the environment of the No. 1 detachment point with your own eyes, you are also dead." ”

"Well, it's impossible to break away from Point 1, there are bugs guarding inside, and there is a nest of bugs that can drill out endlessly, even if we join forces with cave spiders, we can't capture Point 1, not to mention that even if we capture it, the million insect swarms outside are enough to drown us, and now the only hope is the underground base of the soul clan at Point 2. ”

"What's the plan?"

"I'll ask you a question, Moria, are you afraid of death?"

"Huh?" Lin Jing was stunned, although he didn't understand why Xiu'er asked, but he still replied, "It should be a little scared, I've only lived for many years, and there are still many things I haven't seen, so of course it's best not to die." ”

"That's right. Shure said thoughtfully, "Then ......"

"Have you waited for me to say yes, don't you know that it is rude to interrupt a lady?"

"But you're a deer, it's right to say it's a female, oops. ”

"Dare to mess with cervids, kick you to death. Lin Jing shook his hooves triumphantly, "I think that intelligent creatures will be afraid of death, but it is impossible for a deer to be safe and sound all the time when it is alive, especially for fighters like us, who may encounter danger at any time." If we cower because we are afraid of death, we really fail to live up to the ability that fate has given us. Besides, although you are a nuisance, and you always hide your mind, and even regard other people as idiots, arbitrariness and disgust, but your ability is relatively reliable, so, you know what I mean?"

"I don't know at all. Shuer shook his head and said, "I just know that you took the opportunity to scold me freely." ”

"Well, that's a good scolding, you idiot. Moria said disdainfully, "What I mean is that I recognize your ability and believe that you will handle everything, so I am willing to give my life to you for the time being, and fight together for whatever I want, even if I fail and die, I will not blame you, because you have done your best." ”

"Whew, understood. Shuer said in the same tone, "Since you think so, then I suggest you go back and see, well, don't be overly nervous, just look back." ”

"I don't. Moria immediately reacted to the change in the situation, and although she refused, she slowly turned around. Behind her was the path where the two had come, and a short distance away was the makeshift nest of the spiders.

At this time, the huge mutant spider mother happened to be lying in the middle of the road, with eight legs stretched out in all directions, strictly blocking the way for the two to leave.

No, it's no coincidence, the eight blood-red eyes of the mutant spider mother are staring intently at the location of the two people in the stealth, and it is no coincidence that the target is so accurate.

"Let's ...... Discovered?" The hair on Moria's body exploded.

"You can choose for yourself, or walk away quietly, and I'll hold its attention back in the meantime, or stay here, and we'll take a big gamble. ”

"Oh, I said, I'm giving you my life for the time being. Lin Jing sneered, "And I think that it seems that the current situation is the purpose of your trip, since you already have a plan, then you have to gamble on me." ”

"Then don't be surprised. Shul suddenly canceled the invisibility technique and appeared in front of the mutant spider mother out of thin air.

"Hiss", the stomata of the spider mother's whole body let out a sharp inhalation sound, and she stood up suddenly, staring at Xiu'er who suddenly appeared.

Shur didn't move, standing defenselessly, with a smiling expression, also looking at the giant mutant spider mother.

The two sides who have formed a deep enmity just look at each other motionlessly, making the atmosphere indescribably strange. Looking at it, the mutant spider mother slowly raised her upper body, and her breath opened, revealing two sharp fangs on her upper jaw, revealing the harbinger of attack.
