Chapter 25: The Swarm

It's as if you've crossed a certain line.

The sensation of absorbing from the area where the observatory is located is becoming clearer and clearer.

At this moment, Yan Jing only felt that he was in the middle of a whirlpool, and the large and small stones around him were no longer just floating and moving, they began to rotate, and the speed of their movement also increased.

Correspondingly, their lethality also increases.

Tiger Firefly can no longer easily find a foothold, but has to use her tentacles to stabilize the stone in place before moving forward.

The difficulty of the dash has increased.

Yan Jing was no longer just a bystander, and began to try to mobilize the wind spirit power around him.

It's okay not to try.

This attempt made Yan Jing subconsciously frown.

He found that the elemental spirits in this area were suppressed far more than the outside world, and it was especially difficult to mobilize them.

The high condensation of chaotic energy has caused a unique energy field to form in the nearby area......

Conventional means could not be used, and the physical strength that Yan Jing relied on most could not be exerted under such circumstances.

With more than enough heart and less strength, Yan Jing became more and more aware of the importance of having a Chaos Seed.

At least have the ability to move at any time in the current environment!

Fortunately, through the evolution of this period of time, Hu Ying's strength has improved greatly, even without Yan Jing's assistance, he still quickly adjusted his state, turned back into his body, and made changes to his limbs on the spot.

Several pairs of insect wings opened, blood spurted out from the sides of their abdomen, and after only a few seconds, several more vents appeared, as a way to resist the effects of the gravitational field and stabilize their bodies.

Yan Jing patted Hu Ying's shoulder.

It was the right decision not to sell the eggs directly to the Torch Bazaar.

The Worm's greatest talent is evolution.

In order to survive, they are creatures from another world, and they can make corresponding changes to most of the environment, and this is almost an instinct engraved in their genes.

It's just that the tiger firefly has been blessed with many spirits and treasures one after another, and this progress may be "a little bit" faster than that of other insects.

As it continued to go deeper, the tiger firefly could no longer find a foothold, so it simply maintained the flight of insect wings, and the narrow eyes in front of its forehead jumped with a few red rays, analyzing the surrounding situation in real time, so that it could easily shuttle among the many stones.

It's a pity that this surplus didn't last long.

Peng!

The sudden explosion made the originally flying tiger firefly's body deviate sharply.

The consequences of a sudden imbalance in such an abnormal environment are undoubtedly extremely serious.

However, in just a few seconds, Hu Ying collided with three rotating boulders, and even if he adjusted in time, he still looked embarrassed.

Spell Seal: Watch!

Yan Jing opened the protective barrier and looked back and forth around with a rather solemn expression.

How did the explosion happen?

The perception spread, and at first it was nothing unusual, but it didn't take long for Yan Jingmeng to raise his head and lock his gaze on a stone in front of him.

As his mind turned, a tentacle shot out from the side of the tiger firefly who received the command, bypassing the boulder, wrapping around the existence behind it, and when it was dragged out, there was already a fat worm about the size of half an adult's palm at the top of the tentacle.

Its body is covered with a dark purple phosphorescence, and its shape is somewhat similar to that of the Leviathan, but it is much smaller.

Why does this color look so familiar?

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Yan Jing suddenly looked up at the location of the observatory.

The hole shrank slightly.

Previously, it was obscured by many stones, and what could be seen through a telescope from the castle tower was only a partial observance.

Right now, as the distance closes.

Only then did Yan Jing discover that the situation around the observatory might be even worse than expected.

The strangely colored "corals" that grow on the surface of the rocks are not plants at all, but special life forms composed of worms, which move between the stones under the influence of gravity as the phosphorescent light flashes.

Sometimes they are scattered like schools of sardines in the sea, and sometimes they come together to form new "corals".

There is no doubt that this is the second layer of defense outside the observatory.

Under normal conditions, these worms would seem harmless to humans and animals, but Yan Jing's arrival broke the original environment of the gravitational field, and the presence in the observatory may not have been noticed, but they reacted first.

Unlike the difficulty of the tiger firefly against the gravitational field, these worms seem to be born to adapt to this special environment, no matter how the gravitational field changes, they are like catkins in the wind, wriggling and twisting their disgusting bodies, shuttling between the stones, converging in all directions in the direction of Yan Jing and the tiger firefly.

What Yan Jing was even more concerned about was that the moment they came into contact with the boulder, they would immediately erupt into an extremely strong shock wave, the worms themselves would directly shatter, and the stones that came into contact with them would directly turn into disemboweling cannonballs!

That's all it takes, and today's Tiger Firefly doesn't care if he encounters a real cannonball.

The trouble is that it is already close to the center of the gravel belt, and there are boulders everywhere that tell the movement, like dominoes, and the rampage of one stone immediately drives other stones around it.

It won't be long before it turns into an extremely bloody millstone, enough to crush any creature that comes close.

No matter how adaptable Tiger Firefly is, it is impossible to calculate the trajectory of hundreds or even thousands of stones in the blink of an eye and dodge accordingly, and Yan Jing's [Insect Premonition] can only allow him to predict the impending crisis, and cannot pass this ability to the former through blood contracts.

Case......

The tiger firefly suddenly stopped, stood upright, and opened its terrifying membranous wings around its neck like a cobra, and let out a high-pitched hissing sound from its mouth.

The Tiger Firefly trait is activated.

[Swarm]!

Before the many stones could approach, dozens of worms broke away from the original group and swarmed around the tiger firefly, forcibly forming a barrier, sacrificing themselves to bounce back the flying stones.

At the same time, the tiger firefly, who realized that the [swarm] was effective, plunged headlong into the swarm.

Suddenly, a swarm of worms in the inner circle of the gravel belt seemed to jump into an apex predator, and a large number of worms were directly controlled by the tiger firefly, and began to launch a suicidal charge towards their own kindred.

Although Tiger Firefly was not strong enough to control most of the worms, even a small fraction of them were enough for it to create a barrier around itself and Yan Jing and smoothly break through this line of defense.

Yan Jing hugged the neck of the tiger firefly, and his eyes passed through the dark purple phosphorescence of the sky, and he was finally able to get a glimpse of the full picture of the observatory.

This human building, which has been entrenched by chaos monsters for more than ten years, has long lost its original appearance.

It is no longer a tool used by humans to observe the stars, but a complete demon cave!
