Chapter 438: Invitation
Bugs, scattered!
They looked fierce, their fangs sharp, and their sharp claws rubbing against the ground.
No matter how you look at it, they are all ready to attack, as if they will pounce in the next second, tear the bodies of the three to pieces, and then eat them all.
But now, they're backing up!
In just half a minute, the crowded insects retreated two or three meters back.
The bugs in front are roaring, and the bugs in the back are also screaming, there are too many of them, one by one, and even trampling on each other, but none of them come forward!
"Oh...... Oh my God, am I dazzled? The bearded Sergei exclaimed incredulously and rubbed his eyelids twice, unable to believe what he was seeing.
In a word, let the swarm disperse directly?
What kind of power is this? A legendary oracle?
In Bear City, there are also fifth-level and even sixth-level creatures, but Sergei feels that those people can't do this, and they are still in the category of "people".
And the power that Susha showed in front of him was already beyond Sergei's cognition.
Before, he never thought that anyone could repel the Zerg with a word.
Today he saw that there are such people!
"Can he talk to the will of the Zerg?"
Sergei thought of what Susha said before, the sentence "Let your bugs scatter", is the "you" in it the overall will of this hive?
Or the mysterious mother worm in the depths of the hive?
Or is it a leader creature?
Either way, Sergey was shocked, and his heart was filled with incredulity.
Even he did, let alone Little Peter on the side.
"They...... They were really obedient and scattered......"
The thin young man had his mouth open, his face full of shock.
Even his father, the legendary Lord of Bear City, a man made of steel, did not have such strength.
The tension and fear in Little Peter's heart seemed to slowly dissipate with that sentence, like the insects around him, and could no longer occupy his heart.
Today, this young man followed what Su Xia saw and heard, and he understood a truth.
As long as it's strong enough, nothing is impossible!
At the same time, the team members outside the hive also noticed an anomaly.
The army of bugs on the ground who had been screaming at them suddenly fell silent for a moment, and each bug froze for a moment before it began to make a sound again.
But these voices are obviously much smaller than before, and there is not so much madness and ferocity in the voices.
"Huh...... What happened? ”
The team's liaison officer was surprised.
"Why don't these nasty bugs continue to pounce on us?"
"Maybe they're finally understanding that we're at a height that's beyond their jump limit."
"Haha, I must have been scared by us!"
"Don't be so narcissistic, it's clear that Sergei and Little Peter are playing a role in the hive below, and they may have found the leader creature......"
Everyone was not stupid, and almost all of them thought of the three people who entered the hive.
The current change must be related to the three people inside.
Judging by the reaction of the bugs, the progress of the following three should be smooth, and they may have already chopped off the head of the leader creature.
……
in the nest.
Su Xia walked in front, with several strong flashlights suspended by his side, and his steps were gentle, as if he was strolling in his own house, without the slightest sense of tension.
"It's just a small hive, it's still some distance from the intermediate hive, and although the number of bugs is large, it can't compare to the hive in the Oasis camp, not even a tenth of the Oasis camp."
The darkness in front of the hive was banished little by little by the bright light of the flashlight.
As he walked, the insects in front of him retreated to both sides, as if to welcome a king, making way for him to open a wide path.
Behind him, Sergei and Little Peter followed closely.
Several minutes had passed, but the shock in the hearts of the two of them had not subsided, but had become more and more intense as time passed.
"These insects have retreated to both sides!"
From just now to now, the scenes that appeared in front of the two of them made them feel extremely incredible.
How exactly does Mask Monster do it?
The two of them guessed in their minds as they moved forward.
In their minds, every conjecture is inseparable from the word "powerful", and only enough strength can make them see everything that is happening in front of them.
"Whoa—whoa—"
A worm bared its teeth at little Peter, the corners of its mouth cracked, the sharp fangs were covered with mucus full of germs and stretched into silk, and its narrow eyes were full of ferocity, as if it would pounce at any moment.
But little Peter walked past it, and it was still only baring its teeth, and instead of stepping forward, it took a step or two back.
"This is a split worm, it has two heads, it is said that the consciousness of both heads is different, it is very chaotic, and even occasionally the two heads bite each other, it is one of the most disobedient troops among low-level creatures, but even it does not dare to step forward, as if it has received an order from a supreme will."
"Next to it is a corpse worm, it is said that they will never get enough to eat, and will pounce on the flesh whenever they see it, but now it has stopped......"
"And that unicorn worm......"
Little Peter followed behind Susha, shocked and recognized more and more bugs.
He had only seen pictures or videos of these insects in the materials before, and rarely saw living creatures.
In the past, when I saw a living creature occasionally, I would not observe it so closely, and I would only kill it from a distance, and I would not even turn the corpse around, because insects are social creatures, and killing one may attract thousands of heads.
"Little Mary would have admired me especially if she had known what I was going through." Thinking like this, little Peter suddenly felt a little happy, and after the tension in his heart dissipated, his face was not so pale, a hint of ruddy appeared, and his body was no longer so tense.
Now, as long as he follows Su Xia, he will feel safe enough.
More than ten minutes passed, and this dark and damp hive seemed to have no end, and the roars of insects could still be heard in the depths, and it was impossible to count how many more insects there were.
In the process, little Peter grew bolder, and even took out his phone and took a few selfies of him and the bugs around him, in which he smiled brightly and sunny, revealing a row of white teeth.
"Dear little Maria, you won't believe it, I'm ...... somewhere"
While he was happy, he also regretted that it would be nice if little Mary was here too.
On the side, the bearded Sergei's expression was completely different, and his eyes were burning, and he carefully examined each area of the hive, thinking that this was an excellent opportunity to record.
Missed today, once Su Xia leaves, there will be no such opportunity in the future!
"Little Peter, shoot a video with your phone." Sergei hurriedly reminded, "This kind of precious video is rare, after you go back, hand it over to the Bear City headquarters, maybe you will get a medal of honor, even if you don't have a medal, at least there will be verbal praise, and your father will be happy for you!" ”
"Yes, I forgot, but fortunately Uncle Sergei reminded me!" Little Peter was so excited that he immediately began to shoot a recording video according to Sergei's words, recording and explaining at the same time.
On this planet, there is so little contact between the Terrans and the Zerg that there is almost never a formal mutual understanding.
Before the rise of the Zerg, the Terrans had been defeated by the Cymbin.
After that, the Zerg were also defeated by the Cymbin, scattered around the world, forming independent hives one after another.
The two races were defeated by the mechanical race one after another, and there was no chance to communicate and understand each other.
"This video, if shot well, may be selected into the teaching materials of Bear City!"
Sergei was happy, he was also recording, only more time was spent assisting little Peter, helping the young man get more rewards.
"It's a great gift." Sergei said to Susha sincerely: "Mask friend, I will always remember your help, after leaving the hive, you must come to our meeting point, and let me express my gratitude to you with a sumptuous dinner." ”
"Okay, I happened to be hungry, and I haven't eaten much during this time." Su Xia laughed.
In the hive full of death and rancidity, the three humans are so abrupt that there is a very discordant feeling.
In this strange feeling and atmosphere, Su Xia took the two of them and walked forward for more than ten minutes.
During this time, the surrounding bugs just roared in a low voice, showing strong hostility, but none of them pounced.
The deepest area of the hive gradually appeared in front of the eyes of the three of them.
As far as the eye can see, this area is covered with a large amount of dark red flesh film, slippery and sticky, both under the feet and on the top of the head, stepping on it, it is easy to fall.
Piles of eggs of various sizes stick to the flesh film, absorbing the nutrients of the entire hive.
"Bang bang...... Bang bang ......"
A powerful heartbeat came from inside many eggs.
A bright light hit, and through the thin outer membrane of the eggs, you can see that inside these eggs, there are small insects curled up, most of which have long tails.
After walking a few more minutes, the three of them finally reached the deepest point, where the worm mother was.
"Is that the mother worm?" A hint of curiosity appeared on Little Peter's immature cheeks, and he looked ahead, holding up his phone to record.
It was a large, bloated creature with no specific species.
Her head was small, about the size of a human head, but her abdomen was enormous, hundreds of times the size of her head, and her limbs were almost invisible, and the epidermis of her abdomen was stretched thin, and her skin was translucent, as if it would burst into a mass of thick pulp at any moment.
At this moment, she was expelling an oval egg, the size of a basketball, from her tail, and the egg was attached with disgusting and sticky pus.
There are several swift bugs that take the eggs and place them in a suitable position to allow them to grow slowly.
"Yes, I'm the mother worm." A voice rang out, and it was the bloated creature talking.
"Huh?"
Little Peter was startled, and his body subconsciously shrank back, obviously not expecting the huge monster to answer him.
Su Xia was very calm, he had already seen this form of worm mother, and he was not surprised by this.
The survival mode of the mother insect is actually similar to that of the queen ant in the ant nest, which was not originally in this form, and the proportions of her body, limbs, and head were also uniform, and she could move around like an ordinary insect.
But when she becomes a worm mother, her body will slowly become bloated and deformed, becoming an ugly monster with a huge belly.
"You should know what I mean." Su Xia stepped forward and said to the bloated worm mother.
"I'll let them retreat to the lair and never enter that city again." Mother Worm replied in a low voice.
"Not only that, but you can't attack any humans in the future."
Su Xia didn't come to discuss, he came to make a request, and if the other party didn't agree, he didn't mind doing it directly.
"Don't worry, I'll restrain them." The worm mother's voice was slower, and she looked at the three of them, and still agreed.
The two successive concessions surprised Sergei again.
You know, the mother worm is the core of a nest, and for the development of the nest, she will do whatever it takes to let the bugs plunder any resources, and almost never restrain the bugs.
"What about the leader creatures?" Susha asked.
"...... here"
A huge unicorn insect came out of the shadows, more than six meters high, the single horn on the top of its head was like a steel needle, and the scales on its body were like solid stones, giving people a very strong sense of oppression.
However, this bug is only a third-level creature.
If he is placed in a mid-level hive, he has no possibility of becoming a leader creature at all, and can only be a high-level soldier.
"You...... What do you want to do? The leader creature could also feel the queen's aura on Susha's body, and he was equally surprised that Susha was human.
"Break one of your fangs and give it to this child." Susha patted little Peter on the head.
"What? What did you say? ”
The unicorn's eyes widened, no one had ever dared to ask him for such a request.
Not to mention him, Sergei and Little Peter were stunned, and once again felt Susha's toughness.
Such a toughness, with a hint of unreasonableness, take whatever you like, and will not waste time communicating at all.
"You can also not give it, I will do it myself." Su Xia's tone was indifferent, releasing a wave of spiritual energy belonging to a fifth-level creature, and looked at the unicorn insect lightly.
"I ......"
The unicorn worm's body trembled, and the fluctuation of the fifth-level creature on Su Xia's body frightened him, it was a powerful force that he was powerless to resist.
If he didn't, Susha would most likely beat him to death and take the souvenir from his corpse.
He silently bowed his head and chose to surrender.
Then, with his claws, he grabbed one of his sharpest fangs, and slammed it, and with a click, the tooth snapped!
"You put away ......"
He carefully placed the tooth beside little Peter.
Nearly half a meter long, slightly curved, and sharp, the teeth can be pierced through gold cracked stones, making them excellent as souvenirs or melee weapons.
Little Peter's eyes lit up, and when he went back with such a precious fang, he could boast to his beloved!
Su Xia nodded slightly: "Yes, this tooth is okay." ”
"Thank you, Lord Mask!" Little Peter said excitedly.
"No thanks, wrap it up, and use it after going back to high temperature sterilization."
"Yes!"
"Let's go, it's time to go back."
This trip to the insect hive, Su Xia originally planned to kill the insect mother and the leader creature.
However, the insect mother here is very knowledgeable and related to the queen, so Su Xia changed her mind.
Let her stay alive and better restrain the swarm.
"Please wait a minute." The mother worm suddenly spoke.
"What's wrong?" Susha turned.
"You...... The breath on your body ......"
"She's in the South, and I did meet her."
Susha didn't hide it and told the truth, but there were some things that couldn't be said too clearly in front of Sergei and Little Peter.
Hearing this, the worm mother let out a wave of excited emotions, and said directly in Su Xia's mind: "If you can see the queen again, please convey my loyalty for me, I am her most loyal warrior Gerda." ”
"Okay."
Su Xia promised, but he didn't know when he would see the queen again.
When I return to Coral City and ask Yiyi, it should be clear.
If there are still cases of missing drinks in the tavern, it means that the queen is still there.
Yi Yi also didn't expect that he had stolen wine for half his life, and now he had become the one who was stolen.
