"Stop. "Walking along the gorgeous cave made of colorful crystals, as soon as I reached the entrance of the cave, Ike stopped everyone.

Along the way, all the members did not walk straight forward, but kept making detours according to the terrain, always keeping a distance of at least ten meters from the cockroaches around them. Sensitive cockroaches can feel the malice of creatures within ten meters, and as members of the adventure party, it is difficult for them to completely control their thoughts and not be malicious at any time, so the best thing to do is to keep a distance from the cockroaches at all times, so that even if they are malicious in a short time, it will not cause irreparable consequences. Fortunately, the difficulty of such a detour is not high, and the cockroaches only live on the walls with exposed crystals, and do not climb on the ground overgrown with plants, so the six of them only need to avoid all the walls and the pillars in the middle of the cave, and they can easily leave the cave.

However, when he was about to leave the cave, Ike pointed upwards: "Watch out for the top of your head, there are quite a few more on it." ”

Indeed, at the top of the cave, too, climbed a large number of cockroaches. The space in the cave is very large, and the top is also very high, and when you look up, the roof of the cave is full of light flickering, like a little star in the night. However, as we got closer to the exit of the cave, the distance to the top of the cave was also getting closer, and before I knew it, it was already close to a safe distance of ten meters.

"Actually, you shouldn't be in shape. At the end of the team, Pannis said: "It's hard to be hostile to them if everybody doesn't know about them." Now everyone knows that it has the opposite effect. ”

"I'm afraid that if something goes wrong. Ike smiled bitterly and said, "And you forgot the most important issue, you don't know, but I know, not only can't you control your hostility, but so do I." If I don't tell you, I'll pay extra attention to them, and then I'll be in big trouble. ”

"Well, that's right. Pannis nodded: "What now, since you explorers have passed through here countless times, I guess there must be a safe way to pass through." Well, let me guess, is it trying to detonate these cockroaches in advance? By the way, I forgot to ask you, how long will their poisonous fog last?"

"It's just a few minutes. Ike replied: "There are two ways to get through here, one is like you said, detonate them in advance, so that the nearby cockroaches will burst, and then when the poisonous fog clears, let's pass quickly while the surrounding cockroaches have not yet filled." Another way is to keep running forward, it takes about three seconds for the cockroaches to blow themselves up, as long as we are fast enough, we will not be affected by the poisonous fog. ”

"But there are six of us, and we have to pass in a row. Catherine shook her head and said, "It's too risky, it's better to choose a safe way, and I'm not afraid of delaying these few minutes." It doesn't matter if you miss one or two, you just said that if there are only one or two, with the physical fitness of the legendary level, you can still fight against it. ”

"Then I'll detonate them. Pannis stretched his body and made his joints crackle: "As long as you run out of this tunnel, there will be no cockroaches outside?"

"Yes. Ike said, "Although there are hedrons outside, they don't seem to be willing to expand their territory, so they are hardly visible outside, and their next territory is still far, far away from here." ”

"I see. Pannis nodded and said: "Then, I will run all the way out, and then use the inherent spiritual realm to return, don't worry, don't worry about me, even if I encounter trouble on the way, I will be fine, you must know that the body of the demigod is more resistant to toxins than you think, and this level of poison can't hurt me." ”

"Okay, okay. Catherine sighed helplessly: "Even so, you have to be careful yourself, after all, no matter how high your resistance to toxins is, you can't just wander around in the poisonous fog if you have nothing to do." Come back as soon as you're done, and we'll go over together when the poisonous fog clears. ”

"Gone. Pannis, with his hands behind his back, slowly walked to the vicinity of the tunnel, pulled out his sword and tossed with a few cockroaches above his head, perhaps because he successfully suppressed his hostility, these cockroaches did not have any tendency to self-detonate, but were very tired of dodging the teasing of the one-handed sword, and continued to crawl among the hedrons. Pannis's behavior made the girls watching from a distance stare at him angrily, and Catherine gritted her teeth and shouted: "Hurry up and carry out your mission, don't do this dangerous act again, be careful not to control it and let it explode on its own, and then it will directly blow up the poisonous mist in your face." ”

"Got it, I'm just testing it out. Pannis muttered a few words reluctantly, and in the next moment, the translucent bellies of the cockroaches around the tunnel suddenly lit up, and the light flickered inside their bodies, becoming more and more rapid. Pannith stayed there for a second, then lunged forward, and as he ran, the cockroaches on the tunnel walls began to flicker violently, and the flickering range continued to extend forward, like lights that kept coming on in a straight line in the dark night.

After another two seconds, there was a soft pop, and the belly of the first cockroach exploded, and a cloud of pale green smoke rose from the cockroach's body, diffusing in a small area, and the smoke was so thick that it was difficult to see what was going on behind through the smoke. After the first cockroach blew itself up, the popping sound continued, more and more cockroaches exploded their bodies, and the green smoke became thicker and thicker, and the self-explosion reached the end, the smoke was close to materialization, and it looked like a solid mass floating in the air.

"No strange smell. Catherine took a deep breath and asked suspiciously: "It seems that the degree of diffusion of poisonous mist is really quite low, but I am very strange, if the poisonous mist does not spread, it means that they are not diluted, in this case, how can they be dispersed later? ”

"Yes, big sister. Vivien's gaze never left the green mist, and she shook her head: "Many toxins will lose their vitality when exposed to the air for a period of time, and they will become no different from ordinary air, remember the spores in the weeping cave? I think the toxins of these cockroaches are also one of them, but their inactivation time is a little too fast, those spores have at least five minutes, this is only three minutes, and it is a gradual inactivation, which means that it is likely to start this process from a minute or two. If the Gallero equation is used to calculate the time points and concentrations of their inactivation, and then the inactivation curve is plotted......"

"The Gallero equation is not good, if you use the Gallero equation, you have to modify it with the Simon formula. Freya retorted: "It's too cumbersome, it's better to directly use Hradiaro's theorem to derive the parameters directly." ”

"Don't be kidding, how can you people from the Colossus School practice calculating data so roughly?" Vivien immediately widened her eyes and said loudly in dissatisfaction: "Hradiaro's theorem has a 3 in 10,000 chance of unpredictable error, okay, that theorem is a typical murder theorem, you do the same when you make puppets, aren't you afraid that the puppets will self-destruct?"

"Won't you do a reverse recheck?" Freya's voice also became louder: "The reverse recheck of Heladialo's theorem has a 100% detection rate of unpredictable errors, and there is really an error after the retest, so it would be nice to think of another way." ”

"When you built the spell model, you told me how to recheck it?" Vivien tapped the ground with her staff, "When you're killed, let the pieces of the corpse be re-examined?"

"Bang bang. A pair of iron fists fell from their heads and smashed on the heads of the two arguing girls at the same time. The two female scholars, who had just been arguing, had already covered their heads together and squatted on the ground side by side, accusing the perpetrators with protesting eyes. Catherine blew the non-existent dust on her fist and said viciously: "Pay attention to the occasion when you two quarrel, and even if you want to quarrel, it will be related to the current matter, and see where your argument has been, who cares who you Galelo and Hella Dialo are." ”

"Galelo is...... Well, I won't talk about it. Vivien pouted, and Freya fell silent under Catherine's threatening gaze.

"Attention. Pannis's voice suddenly sounded from behind the five: "The fog looks like it's almost gone." ”

"Finally came back safely, didn't you have any trouble. Catherine finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her hanging heart relaxed. In front of the girls, the green mist was gradually fading, and the sight could finally see through the smoke to see the scene behind her, Catherine was talking, her eyes suddenly froze, and she asked in surprise: "Am I mistaken? Why are all those cockroaches still alive?"

"They don't die when they blow themselves up. Ike was stunned, patted his head and said: "Ah, I may have forgotten to say it before, don't underestimate the vitality of cockroaches, although they blew up their abdomen, but their bodies are still alive, but they can't explode anymore for a while, and after about half a year, they can return to their original form, so that's what makes them terrible." If it weren't for their instinctive control over the number of races, I'm afraid that the upper and lower layers of the Earth Scar would have been filled with them a long time ago. Look, the fog has lifted, it's now, rush quickly. ”

In the tunnel, the last trace of pale green finally faded, and the air returned to its original transparency, and the glittering tunnel was noticeably dimmer after losing the part of the light emitted by the cockroaches. Ike shouted and charged, and consciously rushed into the long tunnel first, several girls looked at each other, followed behind him and forwarded in turn, only Pannis fell last, and before leaving, he grabbed a cockroach and held it in his hand, and then followed the team out of the cave.
