"It's, something." Gordon didn't dare to get started directly for fear of poison, so he pulled out the knife and flicked the silk threads that seemed to be made of pure gold.

Anhill also leaned over, "It's not metal, it's a little translucent if you look closely, it may be something like insect silk or spider silk." ”

"Worm Silk ......"

Gordon, of course, they couldn't help but think of those golden beetles.

Could it be that the creatures left it behind?

Not surprisingly.

Gordon was about to cut it off and collect it as a biological specimen, but he didn't expect to swing it down, and the silk thread about half a centimeter thick was not only not cut, but bounced the peel away with a knife.

Gordon looked at the knife in his hand in surprise, and couldn't help but grunt.

"Strange thing."

There are many monsters with the ability to spin silk, such as the Concubine Spider, the Shadow Spider, and the Skeleton Spider that Anhill had hunted before, all of which can spit out silk threads with extremely amazing toughness.

But that's only tough, able to bear huge tension, but not resistant to sharp cutting.

This is a common problem in almost all biosilk threads.

But this silk thread, how do you feel that the cutting resistance is more powerful than steel?

Gordon held the knife in his backhand, put the blade against the worm silk, and pulled it hard, but the worm silk was still undamaged.

"Hey?"

Gordon twisted his neck, "I don't believe it yet!" ”

He pressed the blade against the worm silk again, sawing it with all his might.

"Crunch...... Ka! ”

Gordon froze, picked up the peel and examined the blade with a knife.

It actually collapsed......

"This? This doesn't make sense, even if it's a steel cable made of steel wire, it's not so hard?! ”

Anhill next to him also frowned.

Not to mention how powerful Gordon is, he is also famous for the sharpness of the knife he uses for stripping.

The thin blade is not suitable for cracking, but when it comes to cutting, it is stronger than most hunters' weapons, capable of cutting through dragon skins and priing off dragon scales.

Can't help these worms?

"Try it differently."

Anhill said, removing the oil lamp from Gale Tempe, opening the shade, and burning the worm silk with the flame.

This method worked so well that after a few seconds, the filament was burned off.

Gordon did the same, and the two of them collected all the worm silk that was stuck to the stone pillar, and they didn't have to think about it to know that this thing was very valuable for research.

"You say, if the source of these worm filaments is really those beetles, could they have dragged this mess around?" Gordon guessed.

"It's possible, but the question is, isn't it the mechanical beast that destroyed and swallowed the wall?" Anhill glanced at the location of the fragment of the wall, "They don't snatch food from the mouths of giant beasts, do they?"

Or are they some kind of symbiosis? ”

"It's not impossible, just like the Thunderwolf Dragon and the Thunder Light Worm, right?"

"Meow?!" The pork chop in charge of the guard suddenly raised his head.

Gale was the same, slumping down, baring its fangs, and roaring in a certain direction.

"Something's coming!" Pork Chop reminded in a low voice, "Listen from the movement, it should be those golden beetle meows, more than one meow!" ”

"Get ready for battle." Gordon drew his greatsword, "Concentrate on one, and after the kill, take some of the body tissue and retreat."

It is impossible to determine their number, do not fight for a long time. ”

"Hmm."

Anhill loaded the magazine with electric shock bombs for the fierce [Shi Yu], and judging from experience, exoskeleton monsters such as crustacean species and beetle species have relatively poor resistance to thunder attributes.

The first golden beetle appears in sight.

Seeing that it was clearly aimed and rushing straight towards his side, Anhill knew that the battle was inevitable.

The first strike was strong, and he immediately pulled the trigger in succession.

The fierce moment [Shi Yu] is indeed a very good heavy crossbow, the trajectory is stable and accurate, and there is almost no recoil.

The electric shock bombs were in a series of succession, and they continuously bombarded the golden monster's head and chest, and the blue arc of lightning flashed and jumped, and the golden monster let out a scream.

The attack effect is very good.

Gordon also fixed his eyes on the golden beetle, and he rushed forward with his great sword in tow, and slashed down with a blow in his face.

The carapace of the golden beetle was harder than he expected, but the sharpness of the Epitaph Greatsword was not comparable to that of ordinary weapons, and with Gordon's full swing, he successfully cut through the carapace that seemed to be covered with gold leaf.

"Tsk!"

The golden beetle hissed in pain, swinging its scythe-like forelimbs down, and Gordon blocked with his sword, unloading the attack while also experiencing the attack power of this monster.

At the same time, two more golden beetles gathered together.

But Gordon wasn't worried.

Judging by a series of comprehensive judgments such as carapace hardness, action speed, and attack power, the strength of this golden beetle is roughly equivalent to that of a three-star dangerous monster.

Two or three of them, not so much that they feel tricky.

"Pork chops, gale, stop those two, Anhill! Let's kill this one quickly! ”

"Good meow!"

"Understood!"

The battle on Gordon's side ended quickly.

Under the suppression of Anhill's stormy bursts of fire, the golden beetle could only hiss and keep retreating, and Gordon took the opportunity to prepare to charge up and attack with all his might.

Just a minute or two later, Gordon smashed the beetle's head open with a single blow of true power.

The golden beetle staggered, and eventually collapsed in a pool of glow-green blood.

But during this time, another golden beetle rushed over.

Gordon knew that if the beetles continued like this, they would only gather more and more, and then it would be a bit of trouble.

He swung his sword to shake off the dirty blood from the blade, put away his weapon, and turned around and roared, "Cover me for half a minute, I'll collect some biological specimens a little, and then we'll retreat!" ”

"As soon as possible!" Anhill replaced it with a magazine and suppressed the one that had just arrived.

Gordon didn't care too much, grabbed a severed limb, stuffed it into a sac, took out another glass bottle, and collected half a bottle of bodily fluids.

That's all.

"Prepare to retreat!"

Just as Gordon put away the bottle containing bodily fluids and was about to retreat, an extremely sharp sense of threat came from below.

Gordon didn't think about it, his body reacted reflexively, and he threw himself to the side with all his might.

At the moment when he pounced, a brilliant sickle claw two or three meters long broke through the ground and stabbed out from the bottom up.

If he hesitates for a moment, the best result is that he is unloaded from a leg.

"Gordon!"

"I'm fine!" Gordon spun over and leaped backwards.

Two golden-brown and emerald green scythes broke through the ground one after another, followed by a huge crown of brilliant and gorgeous patterns, and a slender body as sharp as a blade.

An insect-like monster that was six or seven percent similar to the golden beetles before appeared in front of the hunters.

"Whoa——!

It spread its scythe wide, emitting an ear-piercing scream that was almost beyond human hearing.

The heart stopped, the blood clotted, and the terrifying pressure that seemed to be able to directly squeeze the nerves swept in.

Cold sweat slipped from the corners of his forehead, and Gordon's eyes were locked on the mysterious monster that almost killed him with one blow, and he didn't dare to look away.

The thought came to his mind.

- The strength of this monster is no less than the unicorn encountered on the snowy mountain before.

The mysterious monster did not attack directly.

It's like a queen on top, without any figures, and it's worth taking to heart.

The sharp limbs move slowly, and the steps are light and graceful.

As if the claws of a scythe made of gold and jewels stretched out, they grabbed the golden beetle corpse on the side, easily sliced it into pieces, and filled it into the mouthware.

The queen is eating.
