Chapter 232: The Origin of the Giant Worm
"Woo woo woo ......"
As soon as the battle was over, the scorching heat ran over, sticking out his tongue without an image, gasping for breath, and staring at his master with pitiful eyes. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Lu Li touched the fur that was hot from the sun, and praised with a smile: "Good job! It's really thanks to you today, otherwise it is estimated that everyone would have to die in the belly of the worm." Okay, come back now, and I'll take a shower when we find a place with water. ”
With that, he pulled out his card and recited the corresponding incantation.
Moment!
The golden ** pattern floated into the air and sucked the whole Xiu Xiu into it.
For it, every second of being in the desert was torture, so it didn't even bother to wash the blood stains on its body and returned directly to the seal card.
Carefully putting the card close to his body, Lu Li followed and squatted down again, and gently rubbed the gerbil beast sitting on the sand in a daze with his fingers: "How does it feel?
"Squeak!!"
The little guy nodded subconsciously at first, and then seemed to recall the tense and exciting scene just now, and immediately shook his head desperately.
"Hehe, you're as timid as ever. Yes, this is a reward for your excellent performance just now, take it and eat it. With that, Lu Li took out a small box of Jian from his backpack, opened the lid and handed it over.
As a businessman, he is clearly one of those very realistic people, and the reason why he signed a contract with a gerbil beast in the first place was mainly out of a desire to reduce his own losses.
After all, the golden egg has been eaten, and even if you eat it squeaky and eat it, you can't get it back, so it's better to use it, maybe it will come in handy when it comes.
But judging from today's battle, it really responded to that sentence, there are big difficulties, and small benefits are small.
Coupled with the powerful protective ability of the magic carapace, the palm-sized gerbil beast is completely capable of burrowing into the interior and inflicting devastating blows on huge enemies, as for the problem of insufficient attack power, it can be solved by using technology and magic, for example, the small size and powerful magic explosives invented by Lisa are very worth looking forward to......
Squeak, who grew up in a desert where food was scarce, had apparently never seen almonds, cashews or anything like that.
It grabbed one of them very carefully, opened its mouth and took a small bite, its eyes instantly widened, as if shocked by the rich nutrients of nuts, and then ate it at a very fast speed, and even a happy smile on its face.
"Meow, uncle, what is this? Lily wants to eat it too!" Meow Lori jumped out of her stealth state at some point, and asked curiously.
Due to the relatively abundant access to food, people from other worlds have not yet begun to notice that some plants have hidden delicious nuts in their seeds, so it is not surprising that she does not recognize them.
Seeing that someone wanted to snatch something that belonged to him, Squeak quickly picked up the iron box, swooped into Lu Li's pants pocket, and poked out half of his head to look at the other party vigilantly, after all, it has no habit of sharing food with anyone.
"Cut! stingy ghost!" Meow Lori glanced at the little guy angrily, and then said coquettishly: "Uncle! Uncle! I want it too!"
Lu Li shook his head helplessly, took out another box and handed it to the girl, and at the same time advised: "Don't eat too much, otherwise you will gain weight." ”
"Got it!"
Meow Lori pretended to be obedient and nodded her head, quickly tore open the vacuum packaging, picked up a pill and stuffed it into her mouth in front of the squeaky noodles and chewed it, as if she was showing off and demonstrating.
Unfortunately, the gerbil was not jealous, and when it found out that the other party was no longer trying to snatch its food, it hid in its pocket and concentrated on its own portion.
Seeing that the two little guys were not making a fuss, Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief, took out a box of wet wipes and wiped the plasma and minced meat stuck to his clothes and pants, and then began to load the empty guns with skillful movements.
In addition, he also discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, after the giant worm died, it did not turn into a crystal like most dungeon monsters, but preserved the corpse.
Just as he was confused and puzzled, Lance walked over with his teammates and respectfully presented a metal box glowing with silver in both hands.
"Allow us once again to thank you for your help at a critical time, otherwise once the Great Desert Worm leaves its lair, we don't know how many adventurers will suffer from it. At the same time, according to the previous agreement, I will hand over this chest found in the deepest part of the ruins to you. ”
Lu Li looked at the metal box that was slightly larger than the palm of his hand, and quickly smiled and waved his hand: "You're welcome, I just did what I should do as an adventurer." Knowing that I've been rescued before, I understand what it's like to be helpless and hopeless, and not to mention that we've already made an agreement? Oh, by the way, can you explain where the giant worm came from, and why it didn't die like other monsters and turn into crystals?"
Lance turned around and glanced at the corpse lying on the desert, and replied in a slightly trembling voice: "The desert worms are not monsters, they were originally special beings living in the underground world, but due to changes in the environment, more than ninety-nine percent of them were completely extinct, and only a few were left lurking in the deepest part of the vast sand sea.
They are the most terrifying predators of the tenth layer, and once they appear in sight, whether it is an adventurer or a variety of monsters, they will all be swallowed and eaten.
And because of the long-term consumption of monsters that contain a lot of magical power, worms tend to derive a variety of weird abilities.
Unfortunately, we encountered the most troublesome regeneration and discharge, and it was lucky that we survived. ”
"So if it's ......like this," Lu Li touched his chin, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
It was the first time he had heard that there were other lifeforms in the dungeon than monsters, and he also realized that the creation myth described by the sage of Flastus was most likely not just a myth and legend.
A long time ago in the underground world, there was a glorious civilization in Bachengzhen, but everything was destroyed with the outbreak of the war between gods and demons.
Only a handful of tenacious creatures survived and adapted to the new environment, and the little monsters were the best example of this, and the giant worm encountered today is another example, and there may be many similar surviving species hidden in the unknown corners of the dungeon.
However, Lu Li is not a biologist, let alone a historian, so he has no intention of delving into it, he thought about it for a few seconds, and then immediately came back to his senses and asked with a smile: "What are your plans for the future?" Continue to the depths of the desert, or return to the entrance to rest?"
"We?" Lance hurriedly made eye contact with his companion, and finally said with a wry smile, "We have sacrificed two teammates, and I am afraid that we will not be able to move on." Before leaving, I will give you a free piece of information, which will be regarded as a thank you for saving your life. About three and a half hours west from here, there is a weathered cave with an underground river that provides plenty of water......" (To be continued. )
