Chapter 7: Found the Nest
"Isn't it a glowing bug, but glowing vegetation?"
Thinking of this, Lin Chen's calm heart came alive again.
"If it's a plant with a talent for fluorescence.."
The corners of Lin Chen's mouth lifted, and his heart pounded excitedly!
He felt so lucky that he really wanted something.
In this kind of underground, the most lacking thing is light. If you can kill it and get the fluorescent talent, then the darkness underground will no longer be an obstacle for you!
Thinking of this, Lin Chen didn't want to wait any longer!
"Go down!"
He controls the elongated rhizome seven meters long as easily as he controls his arm.
The vines lurked quietly along the ground. He is still very careful, and as he goes deeper, he must always pay attention to his surroundings.
As long as there is a wind and grass, he must take the vine back as quickly as possible.
From this, he also needs to draw up a perfect escape route.
Perhaps because of the rain last night, there is a lot of moisture left on the rock walls, and the ground is impermeable.
The humidity and sultry heat also increased the difficulty of Lin Chen's in-depth exploration.
"The further down the rock wall becomes, the twists and turns of this rock wall can be described as nine bends and eighteen bends. β
Lin Chen couldn't help but complain, although he could see the fluorescence below, the actual specific path was much more difficult!
"No, there's a dead end ahead. β
"It's a dead end again. β
"Not right. β
......
Lin Chen frowned, and the successive encounters made him a little irritable.
Originally, the distance of diving one meter was delayed for several hours because there was no light.
"Fortunately, the vines are resilient and can adapt to spreading along the rock wall. β
Lin Chen took a deep breath and looked at the fluorescence below,
"Luckily, it hasn't moved. β
For several hours, the fluorescence remained in place, motionless. This also made Lin Chen more convinced that the body of fluorescence was very likely to be a plant!
"Go on!"
Lin Chen was not discouraged at all, and controlled the vines to continue down.
Time flies.
The vines were seven meters in length, and now four of them have gone underground.
Among them, from the 4th meter to the 5th meter, he spent three hours, and the further down, the more difficult it became!
From the 5th to the 6th meter, it took five hours!
The poisonous grass on the surface of the ground is swaying with the wind, the earth is reviving, and it is already daytime outside.
"I didn't expect it to take so long to dive. β
Lin Chen looked at the fluorescence below, still motionless. Now he was completely sure that this fluorescence should be some kind of plant.
But instead of being too happy, he became worried.
"I feel like the distance between me and it hasn't narrowed much. There is only 1 meter left of the vine..."
Lin Chen calculated the remaining length of the vine, and his brows tightened.
This 1 meter is not a straight line distance. The terrain below will be more messy and complex.
"No matter, go ahead!"
Lin Chen shook his head, not thinking about it. After all, it's useless to think too much now.
He tried his best to keep himself awake, and since it was all at this moment, he couldn't give up easily.
Rushing!
The sound of vines diving on the rock wall can be heard.
[Ding!The host kills 1 thin-winged worm and gets 2 evolution points and 1 zerg gene!]
γDing!The host kills 3 green worms, gets 1 evolution point, 3 zerg genes!γ
γDing!Host kills ......γ
The system's prompt beep keeps resounding.
Lin Chen didn't care about it, he was covered in sweat, and in the process of going deeper, because of his constant vigilance, the concentration of twelve points of attention was also a great drain for him.
50 cm, 60 cm, 70 cm......
The fluorescence still flickered, and the distance between them was constantly being shortened.
"Haven't you arrived yet?"
Lin Chen's face became more and more solemn, and he had a bad premonition.
I'm afraid that I may not be able to reach the place where the fluorescence is.
80 cm, 90 cm.
"And 10 centimeters. β
Lin Chen glanced down, his face was ugly.
The further he went, the more he could feel that the distance between himself and the light source never seemed to close.
It's still a long way off!
That's weird!
Whoa!
The vines straightened for a moment, and Lin Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of deep disappointment, he knew that the elongation of the vines had reached the limit.
But the light source is still below.
"How so..."
He was a little uncomfortable.
It took me so long, not only did I not encounter the fluorescence, but I also found that the distance from it was too far.
It's like looking at the starry sky at night, as if the stars in the sky are very close.
But only after flying into the sky did we realize that the stars were actually very far away from us!
The current Lin Chen is exactly like this.
"Damn, it's not enough distance..."
Lin Chen is unwilling, if he can get the fluorescent vegetation underneath and devour the latter's talent, it will definitely be a great help for him to explore the underground in the future!
But now, because of the length of the vines, they can only watch the fluorescent vegetation, and there is no way to do it.
"System, is there a way to make the vine spread?"
Lin Chen asked.
γYes!γ
A system light curtain appears.
Hearing this, Lin Chen was no longer decadent, and instantly came alive,
"Say it quickly, what a way!"
The system's words brought Lin Chen a glimmer of hope, making him tremble and cheer up.
[Ding!] is like the poisonous leaf talent of the poisonous grass, after devouring the thin wing worm, the paralyzing poison of the latter is obtained, which is attached to the poisonous leaf talent. γ
"You mean, I still need to find a vine to devour and get the latter's spreading talent to make the rhizome grow?"
Lin Chen quickly understood.
Everything in nature has its own talents, and some talents can be attached to the spreading talent to grow rhizomes, so there is no need to deliberately look for another vine. γ
The system prompts.
"That's easy, where can I find it?"
Lin Chen glanced at the system, and what the latter said was complete nonsense.
γ......γ
The system is silent.
Lin Chen pursed his lips and glanced down. The fluorescence was still in place, never moving.
His heart couldn't help but feel itchy.
"Anyway, it's better to find a way to increase the length of the vine now!"
Lin Chen gritted his teeth and reluctantly took the vines back.
Rushing.
The speed of the rhizome was very slow, and Lin Chen controlled it very carefully, but maybe it was because he was too focused before. His brain, a little overwhelmed.
When controlling the vines, there was the slightest deviation.
At that moment, the tip of the vine touched an extremely soft area. This area was quite dry, and it was a place that Lin Chen had not been to before.
Upon further penetration, the tip touched something like a liquid, but it was viscous.
Snort!
Just for a moment!
The festering sound came into Lin Chen's ears.
[Ding!Host health characteristics, down 11%!]
The sound of the system appeared coldly. Lin Chen was taken aback, as if he had been electrocuted, and hurriedly pulled the vines back.
"It's disgusting... It can't be the secretion of some kind of creature. β
"It's corrosive..."
Lin Chen gasped, and the whole person suddenly became energetic. He looked at the tip of the vine, which had been corroded.
This feeling is like touching some extremely acidic liquid with your fingertips, and there is a hot pain.
It's so real!
"It's still too careless. β
Lin Chen shook his head.
However, although I was taken aback. But he also had a trace of curiosity about the road ahead.
This viscous acidic liquid is constantly accumulating, like a door, separating the inside and outside. It's no wonder that Lin Chen didn't find out at first.
Because he used to spread against the rock wall.
"There's still such a structure... Presumably, there must be something hidden behind this door. β
Lin Chen's heart moved, especially when he looked at his evolution point, and the corners of his mouth lifted a curvature.
Returning empty-handed is not his character, not to mention, he has no worries at all.
"Check it out!"
Thinking of this, Lin Chen manipulated the rhizome, carefully bypassed the viscous liquid, and came to the back of the door.
But before he could go far, Lin Chen clearly heard a confused voice.
There was a dead silence all around, and the voice was extremely loud. There were faint voices mixed in.
It's all too familiar.
"I think I've heard this voice somewhere..."
He fell into deep thought.
Not much.
Bite!
A flash of image flashed in his mind, and after a while, his eyes became brighter and brighter!
"I remember, it's the black ants! But how can there be a sound of black ants here? Could it be that I'm in their nest now?"
Lin Chen froze in place.
