Chapter 286: Crystallized Dragon Egg (3/3)
"Tenglan giant eel?!"
Ian's eyes widened, and even Master Gother and Esengard were so familiar with the beast that they had chased them all the way that they recognized it at a glance.
The Tenglan giant eel is not dead, its body is still convulsing, but it has indeed lost its ability to resist, and is being dragged and pushed slowly from the river by a group of parasitic beasts of different shapes.
The giant eel's body is so large that it even clogs the river, and if it weren't for the extremely powerful species among the parasitic beasts, I am afraid that it would not be able to push it at all.
As the unconscious giant eel was gradually pushed down the rift, the mother worm of the brain-eating worm that had been quietly dormant on the nest to draw electricity also reacted.
Buzz - The nest vibrates, and the mother finally reveals her true body.
The shape of the brain eater is almost a giant shellfish, the prismatic crystals are its shell, and the flesh inside is spindle-shaped, and usually does not stay in the shell, but goes deep into the hive, constantly absorbing energy and the flesh and blood offered by parasitic beasts, and then continuously laying eggs and releasing them into the ruins water system cycle.
Its shell is made of Morion steel, which is extremely adaptable to essentia and psionic energy, and is extremely tough, and when the giant worm tries to move, it slowly wriggles like a snail on its back, leaving behind a silvery blue slime that releases a visible arc of electricity from the jagged crystalline soil.
Of course, the same second energy level, the size of the brain devouring mother worm is not large, only more than ten meters long, and this is the normal state of the second energy level of the monster, such as the Tenglan giant eel and the totem main swamp crocodile, the kind of giant beasts that are dozens of meters and hundreds of meters long at every turn are actually a few, only when they reach the fourth energy level, the monsters will generally increase in size.
And this is also the origin of the name Titan Behemoth.
"It's not good, it's going to parasitize the giant eel!"
The Brain Eater Mother Worm approached the giant eel, which made Ian's heart froze, and he could see the other party's purpose at a glance - this Tenglan Giant Eel was obviously the one that chased the shark shark before and interrupted his battle with Patrick, and it was also the one that was strengthened by the brain eater to strengthen his physique and reaction speed.
Braineaters have laid the groundwork for their mothers, and now they can take control of the giant eel's powerful flesh as soon as the mother worm passes...... And after this mother worm devours the essence of this giant eel at the peak of the second energy level, it is hard to say whether it can enter the third energy level, but the peak of the second energy level is definitely there!
This was also seen by Isengard and Master Gosai, and all three of them clearly wanted to interrupt the mother's movements.
Ian had already removed the alchemy cannon he was carrying on his back, and Master Gosai had used some of the essentia he had already recovered to concoct special explosive gunpowder and prepare for calibration of the cannonballs, and Isengard pulled out the elite-grade alchemy cannonballs he was carrying.
These things were originally intended to be used to destroy the hive, but now is the right time.
The cannonballs specially designed to kill the second-level peak Gosai Master are completely powerful, and their sneak attack bombardment artillery, the hit rate is naturally not to mention.
Such a bombardment can theoretically hit the mother worm hard.
"Wait!"
But just as Ian was about to debug the cannon setup, Master Gosai suddenly spoke, and said with some hatred: "This mother worm is so cautious, it has been maintaining the electromagnetic force field, and our cannonballs may not be able to blast past!" ”
Ian looked up and was startled.
That female worm is not only cautious, she is simply a master of life! It wriggled like a snail, erecting its own sturdy crystalline shell at all times, which was already quite difficult to deal with.
Who would have thought that while walking, it also used the resonance of crystal clusters around the crystal nest to create a light blue arc barrier visible to the naked eye around its body, and one after another brilliant magnetic light fell, protecting it tightly.
The alchemy cannonball can break through the wind attribute essentia, and it also has a certain target for thunder, but it will definitely be weakened by this electromagnetic barrier, or even deflected, so it is difficult to say whether it can hit the female worm.
There is only one chance to sneak attack, and once it is struck, you will have to face this terrible parasitic mother worm and many parasitic beasts.
Even if Ian uses the Prophetic Horizon, he won't find a chance for a while - the mother worm has no weaknesses, if anything, the flesh that is exposed when it wriggles is, but the timing is very difficult to find, and even if it hits, it is difficult to be fatal.
"It is worthy of being a mother worm that combines the wisdom of the Great Elder and the other five elders...... Although only fragments remain, this level of caution is impossible for ordinary beasts and bugs. ”
Ian even suspected that the female worm had written the fear of death and immortality at the bottom of the psionic network, otherwise, it would not explain the other party's inexplicable caution.
"I can only wait for the other party to parasitize and see if there will be any flaws."
Ian waited patiently for the moment, they had no choice but to wait now.
However, as he waited, he realized that there were several parasitic beasts transporting something strange next to the river where the giant eel had been transported.
"Ethan, lend me a telescope."
Hearing Ian's request, Ethan naturally came out in pain, and the boy adjusted his focus and observed the details of the river in the distance.
The result made him slightly shocked again.
"Eggs?"
He muttered to himself softly, confused, and then his voice suddenly rose: "Dragon egg! ”
【Crystallized Dragon Egg (Relic Species)】
【First Energy Level, Egg, Normal, Edible】
【Crystallized Dragon's Egg.】 The Crystalline Dragon is a dragon that is highly susceptible to environmental influences, and will absorb the essentia of the surrounding environment at the egg stage to determine the direction of future development. The crystalline dragon egg is extremely sturdy, and can even automatically change color and camouflage like a squid]
[But there are still many predators who covet dragon eggs, because the adaptability of crystallized dragons to various environments is an ability that all living beings crave]
[It is recommended to eat before the egg develops into an embryo, which can effectively increase the adaptability of the essentia of all attributes]
[Essentia: 150.9125 base units]
【……】
This is completely certain.
"These parasitic beasts have stolen the eggs of the crystal dragon!"
At this point, Ian knew why the previous Zhanhai Crystal Dragon would let out such an angry dragon groan around the Ice Abyss...... Nonsense, the stolen eggs of one's own family, isn't this the most shameful shame and the most angry thing of all the dragons in the world?
So what's next......
"Wait, wait!"
Holding the telescope in one hand, Ian raised the other hand and motioned for Master Goesse and Isengard to stop reloading in their hands: "I think our chance is coming!" ”
Ian handed the telescope back, and then, Master Gosai and Esengard also saw the details in the distance with the help of the telescope, and the old man suddenly smiled, "Indeed, wait." ”
