Chapter Twenty-Six: Strange Insects
Night is falling, but the fierce battles in the Great Wilderness continue.
Li Ling, who had been waiting for a long time, finally opened his eyes, raised his head to look at the twinkling stars in the sky, couldn't help but clench his fists, and slowly stood up from the hidden mountain col.
"One o'clock in the morning. Looking at the time displayed on the light brain, Li Ling turned around and looked at the rocky giant mountain not far away and said secretly, "The time is just right, after such a serious injury, and after such a long time, that big snake must have died a long time ago." ”
Turning on the night vision function of the safari suit, he swept around, and found that the valley was still extremely quiet as during the day, without the slightest anger, Li Ling's whole person turned into a black shadow, and after a few flickeres, he turned out of the col and disappeared into the thick night.
After a while, he came to the cave, but for the sake of safety, Li Ling still placed alarm devices in several hidden places around the entrance of the cave, looking at the cave in front of him that was as deep as the mouth of a giant beast, everything was ready, Li Ling took a deep breath, raised his feet and walked into the cave.
The bright red blood on the ground had already coagulated, Li Ling carefully observed the surroundings as he walked, picked up the scales scattered on the ground, and put them into the energy pillar hanging on his chest, "That big snake doesn't know if it's dead, no matter what, even if it's not dead, it should be a breath away." Clenched his fists, and came to the turn of the hole last time, Li Ling's movements slowed down, "In the past, a punch will definitely send that guy back to the west." ”
Looking behind him, Li Ling raised his feet and continued to walk forward.
The further he walked into the cave, the lower the temperature became, Li Ling couldn't help frowning when he looked at the actual temperature on the light screen, "15 degrees, I just walked to half of the depth of the last time I entered the cave, "Well, what is that." Li Ling's eyes couldn't help but sweep just now, Li Ling actually found something strange on the cave wall.
Gently stepping over, stretching out his hand and touching the arm-thick red ore vein on the rock wall on the side, Li Ling frowned, "How can this be red ore, it is clearly red calcite, this kind of thing can only buy 2,000 energy coins at most a ton outside, if you really dig a ton, the energy coins you buy are not enough for fuel costs." Following the red vein of calcite, Li Ling continued to walk forward.
The lower the temperature in the cave, although wearing a safari suit, Li Ling could still feel the biting cold, no wonder there would be a mutant beast hiding in this kind of place, picking up the last crystal scales scattered on the ground in his field of vision, Li Ling raised his head and found that there was another huge turn in front of him, and his steps slowed down again.
After putting the scales that emitted these warm scales in his hand into the energy pillar, Li Ling cautiously pressed his body against the cold cave wall, quietly moved forward, and finally slowly poked his head out.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Li Ling was directly stunned, "No." Li Ling thought that this cave was not very big at first, but he didn't expect that there was such a large space hidden under the rocky mountain, which was hundreds of square meters.
"That big snake is really good enough to choose a place, the ground is so flat, this is like a cave, and the partition wall is an underground villa, staring at the surprisingly flat ground, Li Ling can't help but suspect that no one will really live here. ”
Swallowing his saliva, after Li Ling stabilized his breathing, his eyes began to search in the empty space, and finally found what he wanted in the corner of the huge space, a huge snake skin, the ground around the snake skin was cracked, and there was blood and rock fragments everywhere, which showed that the big snake had struggled desperately before it died.
"No, why is there only one snake skin left, the snake tendons, snake meat, and snake bones in it are all gone, and I clearly saw such a thick big snake coming in, why is there suddenly only one skin left, it can't be haunted." Thinking of this, Li Ling's whole body suddenly exploded,
Swallowing his saliva, trying to figure out what was going on, Li Lingqiang endured the fear in his heart and slowly approached the huge snake skin.
There was only the sound of Li Ling's heavy breathing in the huge space, and time passed minute by minute, Li Ling stopped only three meters away from the snakeskin and waited for what it was, only to see that something was squirming under the huge snakeskin that was paralyzed, and it seemed that the movement was not small.
"Could it be that the big snake has shed its skin, the big guy who is more than 30 meters long has become so big after shedding his skin, tease me, how is it possible. Unable to help but be curious, Li Ling's eyes were firmly fixed on the part where the snakeskin was wriggling, and the feet that had just stopped moved forward again.
Getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer, Li Ling's nasal cavity was filled with that disgusting and rich smell of blood, and it was getting stronger and stronger, looking at the congealed blood in the cracks in the ground Li Ling's heart couldn't help but tremble, what the hell is it that can actually kill a high-level snake mutant beast.
Just as Li Ling carefully moved his steps forward, suddenly a faint grunting sound came, which frightened Li Ling and hurriedly put on a posture, "What's the matter, hurry up and come out with me."
Looking around, Li Ling's gaze once again focused on the bulging ball on the huge snakeskin, "That's where the sound comes from." ”
"This guy can even kill a big snake that he can swallow in one bite, so it seems that his small body is not enough for the one in the snake skin to plug his teeth, it is better to keep a distance, at least he can leave himself a time to react, and he doesn't have to be so sad to be knocked out. ”
After a deep sigh, Li Ling still took a few steps back, ready to open the light brain first, use the close-range perspective function, to see what was wriggling wantonly inside the snakeskin, and then make a decision, but just as the blue light screen unfolded in front of Li Ling, a muffled sound suddenly sounded.
I saw a flashing white light and something the thickness of a thumb flew out of the snakeskin, and rushed straight to Li Ling, Li Ling's young heart was frightened, and his body couldn't help but fall backwards, and he fell heavily on the hard ground with a bang.
The thumb-thick thing crawled onto the light screen that Li Ling was opening, and the opener actually gnawed a hole in the light screen in the space in front of Li Ling, which was completely composed of energy, and this guy didn't mean to stop at all.
Gu Gu's voice came from the light cluster in front of him that flashed with the thickness of a white light thumb, and the light ball wandered wantonly on the light screen, and after a while, a blue light screen composed of energy had disappeared.
Looking at the white light cluster lying on his safari suit, Li Ling was slightly stunned, he couldn't believe his eyes, the white light cluster was actually a colorful little finger-sized insect, how to describe it, that insect is very similar to the silkworm we see on weekdays, but this guy seems to have fallen into the dye vat, and his whole body is impregnated with these colors.
Now the insect is staring at himself with two small black eyes, skimming the shriveled huge snake skin, Li Ling's heart is beating violently, "No, just this one worm actually killed such a big snake." Swallowing, he said, "I'm not going to be like that." ”
The insects in the white light cluster didn't seem to be satisfied after gnawing off Li Ling's light screen, twisted their bodies and actually floated in front of Li Ling out of thin air, staring directly at Li Ling, the crystal mouthparts actually opened again, and it seemed that Li Ling had been taken as the next target.
Could it be that his own reputation was buried in this little insect today, thinking about Xiao Zi, who was still looking forward to his triumphant return, and Sister Otoyu, Li Ling's brain went blank in an instant, and he suddenly roared, "I fought with you, desperately urging the energy in my body." ”
The silver energy instantly wrapped Li Ling's right fist tightly, and just as Li Ling raised his right fist and was about to smash it against the strange insects floating in front of him, an amazing scene happened again, not only did the light not dodge, but instead came up excitedly, lying firmly on his fist, and swallowed up the dense silver energy wrapped in Li Ling's fist in a few breaths.
"This guy is actually absorbing my energy. Li Ling stared at the little thing on his fist with a surprised face, "Is it because I'm too thin, so this little guy doesn't hesitate to eat me, that's not right, at least I'm still a capable person, Li Ling opened his fist, held the white light ball in the palm of his hand, and carefully looked at the creatures in it, although it looked so disgusting"
Urging the energy in his body, Li Ling wrapped the energy around the index finger of his left hand, and tentatively stretched out this to the little finger-sized insect in the palm of his right hand.
The little thing seemed to twist its body happily, swished to Li Ling's index finger, opened the mouthpiece, and ate all the silver energy wrapped in Li Ling's fingers, however, it didn't seem to be satisfied, the little guy sniffed on his index finger and actually bit his safari suit, the five-color pattern array on his body flickered, Li Ling suddenly found that he couldn't see, and the surroundings fell into darkness.
"I'll go, this little thing actually absorbed all the energy in his safari suit, no wonder the night vision function of the safari suit has disappeared. Without the support of energy, the thermal insulation effect of the safari suit was also lost, and feeling the biting cold around him, Li Ling shivered violently, and then realized the problem.
In addition to the white light emitted by the little guy in front of him, the rest of the place was pitch black, Li Ling turned on the light brain, and was about to slide the light screen in front of him when he turned on the lighting system, the little thing actually twisted his body while he was unprepared, and jumped in front of the light screen, the crystal mouthparts opened slightly, and the soft body with the thickness of his fingers rose suddenly, and with a whoosh, the light screen, along with the energy stored in the light brain, was sucked in one go.
Li Ling looked at the spectacle in front of him, and wanted to die, "I have a map to go back in my light brain, how can I get out of that giant wood forest full of fog without a map, little thing, believe it or not, I'll trample you to death now......"
Li Ling gritted his teeth with hatred when he looked at the round little insects he ate.
seemed to feel Li Ling's anger, the little thing actually rolled in Li Ling's palm, as if he was pretending to be pitiful, seeing the pitiful appearance of the little thing, Li Ling was not good at saying anything, just sighed helplessly, "It's over, how can I go back in three days." ”
Now I can only take one step at a time, patting the dust on my body, Li Ling got up from the cold ground, feeling that his ass seemed to be numb from the cold Li Ling couldn't help but shake his head, the energy in his safari suit and light brain was eaten up by small things, and he could only use his own energy to illuminate it now, but Li Ling thought about it, so forget it.
In case the energy he is gathering is being gnawed by this guy, and if this little guy can't control it, maybe he will really be sucked dry, skimming the little thing lying in the palm of his hand, Li Ling's mind instantly appeared with the beautiful face of an Egyptian mummy with a history of thousands of years, and he couldn't help but shudder.
Then take your light first, seeing the faint light wrapped in the small thing, Li Ling said helplessly, "It's really sad, I didn't expect that I would ask for help from a bug one day" But what Li Ling didn't expect was that the little thing seemed to be able to understand his words, and after twisting his body leisurely, he actually floated up, and the white light on his body instantly became stronger, turning into a white light cluster, floating in the air.
"That's okay, Li Ling thought at first that the little thing emitted fluorescence, but he thought that the little thing itself could control the strength of the light. Li Ling stared at the light cluster in mid-air in astonishment, "If it's outside, this pair can win the title of the world's most environmentally friendly lamp." ”
Where the white light shone, the darkness receded instantly, and everything in the huge space Li Ling was in full view, except for the huge snake skin on the ground and the gravel scattered everywhere on the ground, there was nothing in the cave, and he stepped over and put the huge snake skin on the ground into the energy column, Li Ling began to patiently clean up the snake on the ground again, one, two hundred and three. It took almost forty minutes for Li Ling to collect all the snake scales scattered in the huge space into the energy pillar.
Just as Li Ling, who was tired and had sore hands and feet, was about to sit down and rest for a while, a voice that made Li Ling tremble suddenly came, and the alarm he had placed at the entrance of the cave suddenly sounded, and Li Ling's heart that had sunk to his stomach rose to his throat again.
"It's so coercive. Feeling that there were three powerful breaths moving towards him, Li Ling's thin body couldn't help but tremble, "This coercion is at least a capable person who can go up in the ring period, what to do, what to do, those guys will definitely beat this giant snake into a seriously injured capable person, what if you force yourself to hand over the giant snake, this game should not be clear at all." ”
Just as Li Ling was helpless, the white ball of light above Li Ling's head suddenly dimmed, and the small thing revealed its form and suddenly opened its crystal mouthparts
"I'll go, if there's no mistake, here again. I saw that the crystal mouthparts were getting bigger and bigger, and in the end, the diameter was actually larger than his height, and then before Li Ling could react, the little guy swallowed Li Ling in one bite.
"Am I really that delicious? I'm not Tang Seng, I want to eat me, I didn't die in the belly of a snake, I didn't want to be eaten by a small bug."
Strange things happened again, Li Ling was not digested, how to say this feeling, it was like floating in the air, and it was transparent in all directions, not only that, but he could also breathe and move.
Looking at the surrounding pictures, Li Ling had a puzzle in his heart, "What is the little thing going to do, do you want to fight with those few capable people?"
As soon as the rock wall comes into contact with the light emitted by the little guy, it will automatically separate around, and it feels like the little guy is swimming in the rocks.
The little guy swam to the bottom of the cave for nearly a hundred meters before stopping, and did not swim out of the scope of the cave again, but waited below, looking up at the top with his cerebellum, there were stones on it, what was there to look at, just when Li Ling was puzzled, the rock that the little guy was looking at was actually transparent, and Li Ling could even see the situation in the cave.
After a while, I heard a rush of footsteps, and a white light completely illuminated the huge black space, and a woman and two men appeared in Li Ling's field of vision.
"Ying, are you sure that the big snake is here?" said the black man, who moved his thick lips and looked at the red-haired woman standing beside him with a solemn face.
The woman nodded, "I finally sensed that the energy fluctuation of that snake mutant beast was indeed here, but why didn't it be" Well, the woman sighed lightly, and her gaze stopped at the corner of the huge space, "Look, where is there blood." ”
Another man in a black safari suit hurriedly stepped forward when he heard the woman's words, walked to a corner of the space, slowly squatted down, stretched out his fingers to twist the blood on the ground, and nodded, "That's right, this is the same as the blood we found at the entrance of the cave, it is the snake mutant beast that was seriously injured by us, but where is that snake, no one will take the lead." ”
"Look at the posture as it should be. The black man shook his head in disappointment, "That Chiyan is extremely cunning, this time it was hard to fall into our trap, but I didn't expect it, it took a long time to make a wedding dress for someone else."
"Did I say it, how could this little guy kill such a big snake, it seems that he guessed correctly, it must be that the big snake was injured by the ranger, and then it was given the first time by the little thing, and the snake was chewed empty, otherwise if the body of the giant snake is still intact, I'm afraid it won't be a problem to buy hundreds of thousands of energy coins" Li Ling, who was staying in the stomach of the little worm, tried his best to suppress his energy fluctuations, staring at the two men and two women on the ground.
Looking at the black man with a disappointed face, the red-haired woman standing next to him didn't say anything, but her eyes were still scanning the space wantonly
"That woman won't find anything, right, watching the woman's gaze getting lower and lower, getting lower and lower, Li Ling's heart mentioned her throat and eyes, and sure enough, the woman looked at Li Ling directly, I strangled it, did you really find it?"
As if realizing that something was wrong, the woman's beauty suddenly tightened, and her mouth suddenly opened, "Red Flame Bullet." A scorching red light quickly gathered on the woman's fingertips, the woman's jade hand turned, and the red ball of light in her hand shook the stone wall at the bottom of the cave, and in an instant, the rock melted into red magma, and the red light ball hit the ground at an incredible speed, "I'll go, I've really been discovered, hurry up and run, little guy, otherwise it will definitely become a roasted bug." ”
The little guy's soft body twisted, and he hurriedly dodged away, but it was still a little late, and the back of his body was gently rubbed by the red light cluster, thinking about the temperature, even hard rocks could be baked, how could the little guy's soft skin be affected, and then a piece of darkness appeared in Li Ling's field of vision.
Feeling that he had been discovered, the little guy didn't dare to stay any longer, so he chose a direction and began to run away desperately, "This little guy's skin must have been burned." Li Ling felt sorry for that little guy in his heart, at least people were also trying to save themselves.
"Ying, what's wrong," the two men turned around at the same time, looking at the red-haired woman with a frowning brow, and couldn't help asking, "Why did you suddenly use Noh Jutsu?"
The woman shook her head slightly, her beautiful eyes raised, and she said softly, "It seems that it is my delusion, how can there be something in this stone." ”
Hearing the woman's words, the two men couldn't help but glance at each other.
"Where are we going now," the red-haired woman's beautiful eyes looked at the messy corner of the huge space, "will you just go back like this?"
The short-haired man in a black safari suit who slowly got up opened his mouth, "If you don't go back like this, what else can you do, that snake has entered someone else's energy pillar, and we can only admit it this time." With a sigh, the man turned and began to walk out of the cave.
"Captain, let's go. The red-haired woman looked at the black man standing in front of her and whispered, "Next time, I will definitely pay attention, I won't lose it." ”
"Ying, don't blame yourself, I can't blame you for this matter, I am also responsible, if I had controlled the angle of the release of the energy technique at the beginning, and killed that snake mutant beast at once, there would be no trouble in the future. The man patted the woman's shoulder and turned around, and said in a deep voice, "It's okay, let's go back to the camp first, have a good rest, and continue the safari tomorrow." ”
Well, the red-haired woman nodded, scanning the huge silent space behind her, keeping up with the black man's footsteps
In the huge space, only cold and darkness remained.
