Chapter 52: The Demon Giant Worm
As soon as Zhu Ba's words fell, a burst of fierce beast roars sounded at the end of the circular passage that twisted and turned, spreading dullly along the passage, as if even the circular cave walls were trembling slightly in this low and muffled roar.
Zeratul's position similar to that of a human eyebrow bone immediately wrinkled, and this roar was no longer emitted by a monster in terms of frequency. Remembering the demonic giant worm he had killed when the space carrier was activated, he decided to tell the truth.
Looking at Zhu Ba with eyes that shimmered brighter than those of the fanatics, Zeratul's masked scarf trembled slightly, and his deep voice was heard.
"That demonic giant worm was killed by me and Phoenix when Vilammut was activated two days ago, and we didn't know the caste of this strange creature at the time, so we simply blasted it to pieces with the unmanned fighter carried by the aircraft carrier, and then broke through the rock formation upwards and entered Ulduar. Now what can you do?"
Zhu Ba carefully recalled the knowledge in his mind, but he couldn't find a way to deal with this demonic creature.
"I'm not sure yet, but I've heard of this creature, but I haven't actually seen it, and maybe when I see it, I'll be able to spot its weaknesses. ”
"Keep going. ”
Hearing that Zhu Ba had nothing to do for the time being, Zeratul immediately waved his one-arm and commanded the fanatics to follow him and continue along the winding circular passage, and Kamano and the fanatics also obeyed his command, and Zhu Ba unknowingly lost his command over the fanatics.
The passage spiraled downward in a circle, and the further down it went, the thinner the air became, and as the stars continued to move forward, the oxygen contained in the surrounding air could no longer maintain their normal physiological needs, and all the fanatics gradually became breathing rapidly, only Zhu Ba and Zeratu still seemed normal.
Zhu Ba's normality is due to the fact that he is a god himself, he does not need to breathe, eat, or sleep, and what Zeratul's normality means can only mean that this Dark Templar leader of the Star Spirit Clan has survived and even fought for a long time in an extremely harsh environment where the air is as thin as it is now, which can explain why he is so normal.
The Zealots' breathing became more and more rapid, and they whistled through the passage like a bellows, accompanied by the faint hissing of demonic giant insects that came and went in the distance.
After turning one corner after another, and when there was another turn in front of him, Zeratul suddenly stopped, and he raised his only arm to signal the whole group to stop. As he moved, the entire team of Zealots immediately braced their knees with their hands and began to breathe heavily, even the strongest Camano.
When Zeratul turned around, he and Zhu Ba were the only ones in the entire team who were still straight.
Zeratul's eyes flashed again with an unclear light, and he raised the satellite three-dimensional map in his hand slightly, and then whispered.
"We're still a little over a mile away from the location of the Holy Mothership Mu, but before that, there's still a test we need to pass. ”
Zeratul's slender fingers pointed directly behind him around the bend, and lowered his voice again.
"After this bend, there is a small cave, and on the other side of the cave is the passage to Mu, but in this cave, there are four demonic giant worms waiting for our arrival. ”
Zhu Ba took a few steps in the direction Zeratu pointed, tilted his head slightly, and already saw the cave he was talking about, a stone cave the size of a football field, and in the back half of the cave, three demonic giant insects almost the thickness of a minivan were twisting and entanglement with each other.
Their bare skin was secreting a bodily fluid with a strong corrosive caste, falling to the ground and emitting bursts of white mist, while the anemone-like head of the giant insect occasionally opened suddenly, revealing a whole row of sharp teeth that swirled like a tunnel excavator, and at the same time let out bursts of piercing roars like rocks rubbing against each other from their foul-smelling mouths like sewer pipes, which was exactly what Zhu Ba had heard in the passage. Behind them, the entrance to their destination looms.
"It seems that we were lucky, but the drone attack still caused most of the fragments to lose their lives, and only the three largest fragments managed to grow into larvae. ”
Zhu Ba turned around and whispered to Zeratul and the fanatics, and then Camano, the fanatic who had calmed his breath first, also looked around and saw the figures of the demon giant insects, and then he retracted his head around the corner, and couldn't help but moan and growl.
"Oh my God, it's so big, it's still a hatchling?"
And Zhu Ba and Zeratu answered his childish questions one after the other.
"Yes, the adult Demon Giant Worm can be over a hundred feet in diameter, more than ten times the larvae you see, and if I'm not mistaken, the cave in front of you is just a place for the adult Demon Giant Worm to dig out and rest for a while. ”
And Zeratu also nodded in agreement with Zhu Ba's statement. "That's true, when Vilammut was rising, the slain demon giant worm even entangled the front end of Vilamut, and finally let go of Vilamute under the psionic bombardment of hundreds of unmanned fighters, and then held on for at least a few hours before dying. "So how are we going to get there? Can we get past these giant worms?"
After listening to Zhu Ba and Zeratu's message, Kamano raised another question, but was immediately rejected by Zhu Ba shaking his head.
"Demon Giant Worms have little hearing or vision, and they rely on the vibration of the air and the ground, and even the slightest air fluctuations caused by the levitation spell will cause them to attack. ”
In the end, Camano could only shake his head and summarize Zhu Ba's words with a wry smile.
"In other words, we have to kill these big bugs before we can move on to the next step?"
"Yes. ”
Zhu Ba's firm tone made all the team members feel the pressure, and in the thin underground passage, everyone was silent. But a moment later, Zeratul's deep voice rang out slightly.
"I can deal with one, and the one on the left is mine. ”
It was followed by Zhu Ba's voice.
"The one on the right is mine, the Zealot squad will deal with the one in the middle, and as soon as I or Zeratul destroy our opponents, they will come to your aid. ”
Then Zhu Ba silently stretched out his palm, his palm was placed down in front of everyone, his arm was strong and powerful, and there was not even a trace of trembling.
Zeratul slowly stretched out his one-arm from the darkness and covered the palm of Juba's hand, then Kamano, then the other fanatics, their faces full of determination as they put their hands up.
"For the Star Spirit!"
Zeratul slowly recited this sentence that had resounded in another universe for countless years, and then everyone agreed.
"For glory!"
"Action!"
Maybe after this action, there will be people who will stay here forever, but no one will regret it, because at this moment, glory is greater than everything.
Zeratul pulled the cloak behind him and covered his body, and when the cloak fell, he had disappeared into the darkness of the passage, and the psionic energy eliminated the sound of his movement in the darkness, providing him with the conditions to approach the demonic giant worm.
The same Zhu Ba ejected the psionic blade from his wrist, and then cautiously approached the demon giant worm as well. The pads on the soles of his feet provided the same effect as Zeratul's psionic technique, allowing him to reach the head of the giant worm on his right without a sound.
When Zhu Ba was in place, the light of a psionic blade lit up from where Zeratu should be, and then Zhu Ba also raised his own blade.
"Charge!"
In the flicker of the sword, the sharp blades of Zhu Ba and Zeratu had already sliced through the skin of the demon giant insect larvae with great ease, cutting deep into the internal organs, while the fanatics led by Kamano used their psionic energy to activate the special acceleration device attached to the armor, turning into golden light and shadow, rushing into the cave and rushing to the side of the giant insect in the middle.
The psionic blades on Zhu Ba's arms swung to his heart's content, constantly cutting off large pieces of ** tissue from the giant worm, so that the giant worm could not heal at all, and Zeratu's fighting style was completely different from Zhu Ba's, he only had one arm, but the length of the psionic blade on this arm was several times the length of the ordinary psionic blade, and he used all his strength with every swing, and each knife almost cut off a section of the demon giant worm.
