Volume 1: The Endless Wilderness Chapter 16: The Horned Worm
Su Chen was lucky, except for those blood-stained tree roots who could sense his general direction, the rest of the tree roots were still spinning around like headless flies.
Su Chen's speed was very fast, and those blood-stained tree roots had not yet had time to organize a second effective attack, and Su Chen had already taken advantage of this gap to run out of their attack range.
The length of the root whiskers was effective, and as Su Chen was out of their perceptual range, the blood-stained roots quickly stabilized.
The mud walls of the entire underground world were damp and smooth, and after several unsuccessful attempts, Su Chen concluded that with his current skills, it would be impossible for him to reach the mud hole directly above.
I was fine when I came, but I can't go back...
Su Chen's mood was a little bad.
Although he had expected a certain probability of falling into the current situation long before he jumped down, after the incident really happened, it gave him a different feeling.
Since I couldn't go back the way I came, I had to try to find another exit.
Su Chen sorted out his emotions, scolded a few words in his heart, and began to observe the surroundings.
Su Chen observed as he walked, and soon found that although there were many roots, they did not grow on the edge of the mud wall.
If it weren't for that, with Su Chen's current slow walking progress, he didn't know how many sneak attacks from the roots of the tree would be.
In addition, Su Chen also found that the roots of trees closer to the center area grew longer and thicker, and the roots near the edge of the mud wall became shorter and thinner.
Perhaps it is because the roots of the tree near the center area must absorb the qi and blood of the mysterious blood rat cubs for a long time, causing them to metamorphose. So much so that their sensitivity to living things has increased.
Regardless of whether Su Chen's conjecture was correct or not, he decided to stay away from the central area and move around the edge of the mud wall as much as possible.
Su Chen walked on the edge of the dark and damp mud wall for nearly ten minutes, but still did not find a new mud hole.
In the past ten minutes, Su Chen saw thousands of mysterious blood rat cubs lying motionless on the cold stone face.
Seeing this scene, Su Chen couldn't help but be glad that this group of mysterious blood rats would not dig holes.
If they are as good at digging holes as moles, then Su Chen's K1 base will probably not be long before they are ruined.
Maybe it was because he had been in the underground world for a long time, or maybe the dark and damp environment made Su Chen gradually feel unwell, and the uneasiness in Su Chen's heart suddenly became more and more intense at a certain moment.
Su Chen immediately stopped, pulled out the dagger tied to his waist, and looked around with a wary expression.
For a moment, there was a faint sound in the silent underworld.
Su Chen turned his head slightly, looked in the direction of the sound, and soon found that a huge creature was rushing towards him.
Before this huge creature got close to Su Chen, he used to see through it to know its attributes.
Race: Zerg (heterogeneous)
Level: 2
Name: Horn worm
Title: Second-class insect guard
Attributes: Defense Enhancement, Physical Enhancement, Strength Enhancement
Note: This biostature is extremely defensive
Hint: Due to the fact that the hornworm lives underground all year round, its vision has completely deteriorated
Warning: This creature is extremely threatening, and it is best to take a detour to the host
------
This creature is systematically named the Hornworm, which is close in size to an adult green cow, but its appearance is very different from that of a green cow.
The appearance of the horn insect was very similar to the beetle in Su Chen's cognition, the thick and sturdy shell on its back looked harder than a turtle shell, and the dense veins on it resembled the spell of a certain era.
It has a total of eighteen legs, each of which is as thick as Su Chen's arm, but only one-third of Su Chen's length, which is in stark contrast to its height.
In addition, what attracted Su Chen's attention the most was its snail-like head and the two tentacles growing on its head.
The first glance given to Su Chen by the Horn Worm reminded him of the Four Differences, like a strange species stitched together by multiple creatures.
Although the appearance of the Horn Worm was extremely ugly, the oppressive force it gave Su Chen was much stronger than that of the original Charming Snake.
There was no doubt that even if Su Chen hadn't fought against it, he could be sure that its combat power was stronger than that of the snake at the first time.
The combat power of the Absolute Horn Worm is almost the ceiling of a second-level creature, with Su Chen's current strength and equipment, let alone killing it, it is a question of whether he can escape from it.
Just as Su Chen was about to observe the details of the Horn Insect's body and think about how to retreat strategically.
The faint sound of the ground shaking in his ears rang again.
It didn't take long for another horn insect to appear in Su Chen's field of vision.
"Warning! The host is facing a mortality crisis, with a mortality rate of more than 90%, and in order to ensure the safety of the host, it is recommended that the host flee immediately. ”
Su Chen thought that the system would take advantage of this to issue new tasks or provide items to solve the current crisis, but he never expected it to persuade him to escape at this time.
Although Su Chen had long had the idea of retreating strategically, these words spit out from the system's mouth were somewhat mocking.
