Chapter 392: Worms

"I saw it!"

The two fell for hundreds of meters, and Ellie was the first to stop, grabbed the stone wall, and whispered to Su Wen.

Su Wen, who was following Ellie, also stopped and looked down, but with his eyesight, he could only see pitch black. Su Wen looked at the map again and found that the area he had not explored could not show the situation above.

"What is it?"

"It seems to be a kind of flying insect ......" Ellie said to Su Wen while observing the abyss, "It's a lot...... Although the individual strength is not strong, there are many individuals who are active...... It's also less and feels like it's hibernating. ”

Bugger?

Because of Ellie's relationship, Su Wen specialized in learning about insect-shaped monsters when he was in the academy library, and the knowledge he mastered about insect-shaped monsters almost reached the professional level.

Except for a few monsters with extremely strong individual abilities, such as cave worms, most of the monsters in the insect-shaped range are still of the type that is overwhelmingly numerous.

The group of monsters under the cave is obviously the latter.

However, there are also one-third of the social insect demons, and in each community, there will be a single or multiple and extremely powerful leader, just like a queen bee or queen ant.

"Do you feel like a very strong individual?"

"The breath is too miscellaneous to be felt. Ellie shook her head, then changed her tone and said with some expectation, "Shall we go and see?"

"It's better to be careful. ”

"Peace of mind!"

Seeing that Su Wen didn't object, Ellie couldn't wait to jump down.

Su Wen thought about it, then put away the flares, found a night vision magic, released it, and followed. Although night vision magic could improve Su Wen's vision in a pitch-black environment, it was not as comfortable as a flare.

However, in order to avoid disturbing these insects, Su Wen still put away the flare and was careful.

A large number of bug-like monsters...... If they had wings, it would not be difficult to get in and out of this cave, but how would they get the mirror that blocked the entrance of the cave? Or did they have some other exit to get out?

The two of them fell again, and at the same time, they also noticed that in addition to the white fungus, there were some more transparent, flowing crystals on the stone wall.

"Su Wen, look!" Ellie broke a piece of crystal, looked at it, and handed it to Su Wen: "The material of this thing, is it the glass at the entrance of the cave?"

"Yes......" Su Wen recognized this special material at a glance, after all, the magic power that flowed in it and the characteristics of isolating the aura were really an obvious sign.

"This is still a mine......

"There is a possibility. Su Wen said: "However, this thing may also be the secretion of those insects, if this is possible, the mirror of the cave can explain it clearly......"

"Those monsters outside are really cowardly, a group of insects, they were scared into the mountains......"

"That can't be said, this extremely large number of monsters is indeed the natural enemy of those ordinary monsters outside. But you're different, characteristically speaking, your position in the food chain should be above them, so there's no sense of fear, but a little ...... Well, excited. ”

Ellie glanced at her mouth and said, "You say I'm like a monster......"

"No. Su Wen explained: "It's not just monsters in the food chain, humans are also in it, I remember...... The academy should have a course on nature, right?

"Oh! I see!" Ellie's eyes lit up as if she had thought of something, and continued, "So when I just returned to the village, I felt bad because of the aura of Pharos, is that also because of that?"

For the sake of Ellie's rare enlightenment, Su Wen no longer cares about what she didn't listen to.

As the two fell, a soft white light appeared below the two. The two took a closer look, only to find that this clump of white light was one by one insects!

Most of the insects gather at the bottom of the pit, and the light on their bodies reflects each other, like a small sun, illuminating the entire bottom of the pit. And some of the bugs did not surround the group, but rested on the walls of the caves around them. This also gives the two of them a chance to see clearly what kind of form they are in.

It was a wasp-like insect, but in size, it was almost as long as Ellie's forearms. The whole body of the insect is a gray white, exuding a faintly bright white halo.

The bugs have a protruding spine on their tails, and as for the head, it's hard to see clearly, but generally speaking, the sharp mouthparts of the worms of this size are also one of their weapons.

"Do you know each other?"

Su Wen shook his head.

Ellie stared at the insects from afar, a little distracted, and stared for a while, only to suddenly realize that she had secreted saliva...... Ellie was startled, and quickly swallowed her saliva quietly, and then gently cleared her throat as if to hide the embarrassment of swallowing.

"But these bugs can't feel so badly, are they? We're all so close, and they haven't reacted yet?"

"I'm close to trying. Ellie said, like Spider-Man, secreted a silk thread from her hand, hung it on the wall, and the whole person slowly moved down.

Su Wen was above, keeping an eye on Ellie, ready to shoot an ice pick at any time in case any danger appeared.

Ellie slowly swayed over to a white bug, her eyes widening as she watched the seemingly dormant bug.

This picture gave Su Wen a certain sense of déjà vu.

Little girl, white hair, bug ......

Fortunately, the black armor on Ellie's body pulled Su Wen out of a famous predation screen a little. But when she thought of Ellie's habits, Su Wen was still a little worried, would Ellie suddenly open her mouth and eat this worm......

Ellie reached out and grabbed the bug, then flipped it over and looked at its belly.

"You be careful......"

"It's fine. Ellie took the insect in her hand and waved it at Su Wen: "This thing seems to be hibernating...... If it weren't for the sense that it was still alive, I would have treated this thing like a shell......"

Before the words fell, the light on the insect in Ellie's hand suddenly lit up! The legs that had been frozen suddenly moved, constantly flashing in the air, as if they were struggling.

"Ah, alive......"

The white worm probably sensed Ellie's voice, and suddenly cocked his abdomen, aimed it at Ellie, and shot out the stinging needle in his abdomen.

"Be careful!" Although he knew that his shouting would be useless, Su Wen still subconsciously shouted out.

Ellie, however, turned her head away and dodged. The attack speed of the white worm is still too slow for Ellie.
