Chapter 144: Locusts

Li Xiu controlled the Black Death and cautiously approached the drop cabin, while himself and Sha Lai stood far away and watched.

When the Black Dead made it all the way to the front of the drop pod, there was still no movement in the drop pod.

Li Xiu ordered the Black Death Demon to reach into the crack in the door, and then slowly pulled the hatch open.

As the hatch opened, Li Xiu and Sha Lai's eyes were also fixed on the inside of the drop cabin, and found that there was only a strange egg-shaped object inside.

It's weird not because it's big, and while it's a bit big, more than half a meter tall, that's not the weirdest thing about it.

The shape of the thing was like an egg, but the structure was like a metal machine, and you could see that the outer gears and parts were tightly combined, and through the gaps in the joints of those parts, you could also see blue light coming through inside.

The blue light flickered and flickered rhythmically, as if the heart was beating.

Whenever the light comes on, the top of the metal egg-like object seems to be covered with blue light streaks.

"What's that? Machine or demonic? Sha Lai asked, looking at the metal egg with his head sticking out.

"Katsa! Katsa! Just as Li Xiu was about to answer, a strange sound came from the metal egg.

I saw that the gears on the metal egg turned, and various parts began to move with them, and one by one the parts cracked.

Li Xiu hurriedly controlled the Black Death Demon to retreat, while he stared intently at the metal egg that was in the midst of the mutation.

Peng!

The metal egg rolled out of the hatch, and a structure inside began to unfold under the influence of various gears and transmissions.

In the incredible eyes of the two, the metal egg unfolded like a transformer, and its form changed dramatically.

In just a moment, the mechanical egg turned into a mechanical spider-like thing, with a body of blue metal, eyes of green crystals, and blue light flashing in the body.

The mechanical spider's green eyes turned, and as soon as it spotted the Black Death, it immediately danced its six blade-like claws and quickly crawled towards the Black Death.

Under Li Xiu's control, the Black Death Demon roared, broke the shackles on his hand, and the iron chain emitted black light, like two laser whips, and whipped towards the rushing mechanical spider.

Seeing that the black light whip was about to be whipped on the mechanical spider's body, the blue light in the mechanical spider's body suddenly exploded, and the entire body was filled with blue light in an instant, and the six blade-like claws were forced.

The body of the mechanical spider seemed to be compressed to the extreme, and it bulleted, incredibly fast, through the black light whip, and pounced on the black death's body, and six claws buckled on the black death's body.

Li Xiu was taken aback, the speed of the mechanical spider was beyond his imagination, even faster than the moment of a demigod.

Almost without hesitation, Li Xiu directly summoned the demigod instant, and as soon as the demigod appeared, he shot continuously at the mechanical spider on the black death's body.

However, the Black Death Demon actually moved without Li Xiu's order, and continuously dodged the demigod's instant shots, and the speed was much faster than before.

Katsa! Katsa!

The mechanical spider form on the Black Death's body changed again, the gears turned, and its body strangely combined with the Black Death.

In a matter of moments, the Black Dead and the Mechanical Spider merged into a combination of armor and machinery.

Part of the Black Death's body was covered with blue metal, and the black light in his body was also dyed with a layer of blue, and a pair of green eyes also appeared in the sockets that were originally emitting black smoke and had no eyeballs, and there were six more sharp knives behind his back, which looked even more weird and terrifying.

The demigod kept shooting in an instant, but the black death demon possessed by the mechanical spider dodged it.

The Black Death's body jumped into the air, and suddenly his hands grabbed his back, pulled out two sharp blades that glowed with blue light, and threw them directly at the demigod instantly, like two blue lightning bolts.

The demigod swung the big sword in his hand in an instant, and slashed out two blue lightning-like blades.

But in the next second, the two sharp blades seemed to be pulled by some kind of force and returned directly to the hands of the Black Death.

Li Xiu took a closer look and found that the end of the sharp blade was connected to a filament that was almost invisible to the naked eye, and the other end of the thin wire was connected to the blue metal part covered by the Black Death Demon's palm.

Dangdang! Dangdang!

The Black Death moved quickly, throwing blades in his hands, and after the two blades were thrown, he pulled out the other two blades on his back and threw them again.

The demigod shot and slashed with his sword in an instant, knocking the blade away.

Under the control of the Black Death, the six sharp blades shuttled through the air like six bolts of lightning, making the demigods a little overwhelmed for a moment.

While!

The Jedi appeared beside the demigod Moment, wearing a gentleman's hat on his head, and slashed a blue blade with a single sword.

After such a long battle, Li Xiu already had a comprehensive understanding of the Black Death Demon possessed by the mechanical spider.

Controlling the Jedi and the demigods in an instant, the two demon spirits besieged the Black Death together and soon surrounded the Black Death.

While the Black Death was fighting the two demons, a cold arrow suddenly shot at him.

It was Eros's arrow of light, and it landed on half of Black Death's face covered in blue metal, turning into a heart-shaped mark.

The Black Death's body suddenly hesitated for a moment, and it was just such a hesitation, the demigod's instant sword slammed into the Black Death's chest from the front, and the Jedi's blood light slash slashed at the Black Death's back.

The blue metal covering the chest and back was suddenly sliced, and the shattered gears and parts fell off.

After suffering such a heavy blow, the Black Death Demon was still uncontrollable, and with a roar, the black light in his hands flicked violently, and he threw it towards the demigod Instant and the Jedi Knight respectively.

The demigod snapped the black light whip with a single shot, and the big sword in his hand stabbed directly into the mouth of the black dead, shattering the blue light that flashed in the black death's head.

The Black Death finally fell silent, the blue metal parts on his body quickly peeling off from him, and the green light in his eyes shattered at the same time.

However, the Black Death also lost its life, and the black smoke in his body poured out, and his body broke apart, turning into a pile of tattered iron sheets.

Li Xiu frowned slightly, losing the mechanical spider that his Black Death Demon had killed, and only saw a blue demon core.

"That mechanical spider is really a little weird, but what's the matter with you demons, it's too much, and it's too much." Sha looked at the demigod Moment and the Jedi, and his saliva was gluttonous.

Li Xiu didn't have the time and energy to explain these things to Sha Lai, so he controlled the Jedi and the demigods to rush to another drop pod in an instant.

As soon as the hatch was opened, the Bloodlight Slash and the great sword with the sword light slammed into the mechanical egg in the airdrop cabin.

Katsa!

The mechanical egg was cracked open by the bloodlight, and the great sword with the sword stabbed in, shattering the blue light inside.

As soon as the blue light inside the mechanical egg went out, it suddenly disintegrated into a pile of gears and parts.

The demigods and Jedi knights rushed to the next drop pod at a rapid pace, smashing six mechanical eggs, and when the hatch of the seventh drop pod was opened, a mechanical spider pounced directly.

Fortunately, Li Xiu had already taken precautions, and the Jedi Knight slashed down the mechanical spider with a bloody slash, and the demigod's big sword pierced into it again.

With the cooperation of the two demon spirits, one by one the mechanical spiders were killed.

It wasn't until the last mechanical spider was killed that Li Xiu stopped slightly and walked towards an airdrop pod with an open door.

The mechanical spider in this drop cabin has died outside, Li Xiu looked inside the drop cabin, originally just wanted to see the internal structure of the drop cabin, but who knew but found that the position under the original mechanical egg turned out to be a transparent container, and the transparent container had a skin covered with blue light stripes and an egg-like object the size of a fist.

"It's ...... Demon Spirit Egg ......" Li Xiu immediately realized what this was.

Reaching out and pulling out the transparent container, it was a boxy crystal box, with only a demon spirit egg in it, and nothing else.

After looking inside the drop cabin again and making sure that there was nothing else, Li Xiu and Sha Lai searched the other drop cabins separately and found that each drop cabin contained a crystal box containing a demon spirit egg.

Put the crystal boxes on the ground, there are seventeen in total, and it seems that those demon eggs are all the same species, and even the appearance is exactly the same.

"Are these demon eggs laid by those mechanical spiders?" Sha Lai said, looking at the demon spirit egg.

"Probably not, those mechanical spiders are more like protecting these demon eggs." Li Xiu glanced at the demon core that had been scavenged from the body of the mechanical spider and continued: "These mechanical spiders are a little strange, a little different from the demon spirits I have seen before. ”

"What's the difference?" Shalai asked.

"I can't tell, but I feel a little different." Li Xiu couldn't tell what was different, but it felt weird.

"I used to think that demon spirits were some beasts with superpowers, but I didn't expect that there would be such powerful high-tech, and today is a long experience." Sha Lai stared at those demon spirit eggs and said, "What about these demon spirit eggs?" Do you want to break them up, lest they turn into demons and come out to harm others. ”

"It's fine." Li Xiu nodded slightly.

Sha Lai picked up a crystal box and looked at it, but there was not even a gap, so he put on his boxing gloves and smashed it into the crystal box with a punch.

Just hearing the sound, Sha Lai's arms were shaken, but the crystal was not damaged at all.

"This thing is so hard!" Sha Lai covered his trembling arms and said in surprise.

Li Xiu asked the Jedi Knight to use the blood light slash, and slashed at the crystal, leaving only a shallow mark.

After slashing four times in a row, the crystals of the box were smashed, and the demon spirit eggs inside also rolled out.

The demon spirit egg was unexpectedly fragile, shattering like an egg at the touch of it, the blue light in it dissipated, and the blue transparent liquid that flowed out quickly volatilized.

One by one, the crystal boxes were cracked, and the demon spirit eggs were shattered one by one, leaving a mess on the ground.

Li Xiu was in awe of such things as demon spirit eggs, and the demon spirits parasitic in his body had not been solved yet, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

The last crystal box was cracked, and before Li Xiu could smash the companion egg inside, the companion egg actually cracked on its own.

This startled Li Xiu, and he immediately retreated quickly and reflexively, like a frightened rabbit.

Sha Lai didn't think it was a big deal, but he was taken aback by Li Xiu, and immediately flew back, farther than Li Xiu retreated.

Li Xiu was so scared like this, how could he dare to risk his life.

After the demon spirit egg cracked, there was no volatile liquid flowing out of it, and a small blue metal head came out of it.

"Is it worth being so afraid of such a small demon spirit?" Sha looked at the demon spirit that crawled out of the demon spirit egg, and his heart was full of doubts.

The demon spirit was not the size of a palm, and its whole body was made of blue metal parts, and it looked like a blue mechanical locust.

The locusts have not only been seen in Shalai, but they are also quite hated.

In the past, when he was a child, there was a locust plague in his hometown, and the locusts that covered the sky and the sun flew through the rice fields, and there was no residue left in the originally green rice fields.

Where the locusts passed, not to mention rice, there was no bark left, but everything that could be eaten would be gnawed away.

If it weren't for that locust plague, his family wouldn't have starved to death.

It can be said that Sha Lai hated these locusts the most, and when he saw that the demon spirit turned out to be a locust, his anger suddenly surged.

And just such a little demon spirit who didn't even have light patterns on his body, he didn't think it could be strong, so he directly launched the overlord fist glove, the light of the overlord pattern flashed, and he smashed into the locust demon spirit on the ground with a punch.

Peng!

Sha Lai smashed his fist on the locust demon spirit, and as soon as the locust demon spirit hit the head, Sha Lai's body was shocked and fell backwards again and again, and he took seven or eight steps back before standing firm, his face was full of horror.

Li Xian was about to rescue Sha Lai, but when he saw that the locust demon spirit ignored Sha Lai, he flapped his wings and half-jumped and half-flew down on the crystal box fragments on the side, and it opened its strange mouth and began to gnaw on the crystal box fragments.

Li Xiu and Sha Lai looked at each other, this mechanical locust-like demon spirit didn't attack them, but instead gnawed on those crystal fragments, which was a bit strange.

The body of the locust demon spirit was only the size of a palm, but the amount of food was extremely amazing, and it devoured all the fragments of a crystal box in a moment.

It didn't stop at all, and jumped on top of the fragment of another crystal box, and Kacha Kacha gnawed.

Li Xiu and Sha Lai both saw that their scalps were numb, and they had to know that those crystal boxes were harder than steel.

Even the Jedi in the gentleman's hat used the Blood Light Slash, but he could only barely leave a scar on it.

The locust demon spirit was like eating sugar, and directly bit the crystal and swallowed it, just this was terrifying enough.

Li Xiu glanced at Shalai, and the two of them quietly retreated, until they reached the location of the immortal lantern before stopping.

"That locust-like demon spirit is a bit weird, and I'm not completely sure that I can kill it, so when I try it, you can stay by the lantern, and as soon as I shout, you will immediately blow it out." Li Xiu said to Sha.

"No problem." Sha Lai nodded in response.

Li Xiu took a deep breath and thought for a moment, planning to let the demigod shoot from a distance in an instant, and first try the details of the locust demon spirit.

Peng!

The bullet formed by the condensation of blue light hit the body of the locust demon spirit, and the bullet directly shattered into fireworks.

The locust spirit didn't do anything at all, just stopped eating the crystal fragments, and looked up to the demigod for an instant.

Li Xiu was shocked in his heart, the locust demon spirit didn't even have a single light pattern on his body so far, it didn't even seem to be a flowing color demon spirit, and he was able to carry the bullet of a demigod instantly, which was too evil.

After glancing at the demigod for a moment, the locust demon spirit lowered his head and continued to gnaw on the crystals, without any intention of fighting the demigod instantly.

Li Xiu's expression became even more strange, this demon spirit was full of strangeness, and if it was replaced by other demon spirits, let alone being attacked, just when he saw a human or a demon spirit controlled by a human being, he would take the initiative to attack.

"What the hell is this demon?" Li Xiu frowned and pondered.

Whether the thing dropped from the drop cabin was an airplane or not, Li Xiu was not sure now.

If it is really an airplane, then does it belong to the demon spirit or to the human?

On the broken ship before, the eyes that Li Xiu saw were very similar to human eyes.

If humans had made these things in the Trials Lands, why would they have airdropped them into this oasis?

If these things are airdropped by demons, what is their purpose?

Li Xiu felt that this oasis might not be simple, whether the locust demon spirit was thrown by a human or a demon spirit, it must have their purpose, it is impossible for people to let the locust demon spirit come here to eat, right?

What can be here? Aside from the plants of the oasis, there were the broken wooden houses, and the locust spirits were clearly not interested in those things.

The locust demon spirit gnawed extremely fast, and in just a few moments, it gnawed all the fragments of those crystal boxes.

The fragments of a crystal box were almost the size of its body, and it ate seventeen fragments of the crystal box, but its body shape did not change at all, and it did not know how it ate it.

While Li Xian was thinking about it, the locust demon spirit actually flicked its wings and flew towards the only pool in the oasis.

The pool is only a few square meters large, surrounded by stones, there is a stone ladder on one side, along the stone ladder down three or four meters distance, is a pool of water, you can't see the bottom at a glance, you don't know how deep the water is.

On the surface, the water is not rippled at all, unlike the pool formed by an underground river flowing through it, and it may be connected to an aquifer.

Li Xiu hurriedly ran over, stood on the top of the pool and looked down, and saw that the locust demon spirit had jumped to the edge of the pool.

Li Xiu thought it was drinking water, and when he was still wondering whether the demon spirit needed to drink water, the locust demon spirit actually plunged directly into the pool, and then disappeared all of a sudden.
