This small-scale team battle gained a total of nearly 2,500 survival points.

On average, there are more than 400 points per person.

It's a small profit.

But I have to say that these ghouls are much weaker than Chen Ye imagined.

I had heard Liu Zijun say that in order to resist the attack of the ghouls, he specially built a defense facility under the tunnel.

But now, after some fighting, I feel that these strange beasts are nothing more than that.

Chen Ye looked up at the buildings in the distance, with deep doubts in his eyes.

Because from the holographic projection of the mountain and sea map, it can be seen that the ancient capital city built underground is surrounded by a tall and solid city wall.

According to the scale calculation, the city wall is about 15 meters high, and the trail at the top is also more than 10 meters wide.

If the ghouls only have the current combat power, then what are the ancestors of the Xihe tribe building such a tall and wide city wall for?

Or did the ghouls degenerate over the course of more than 2,000 years?

While thinking about it, Chen Ye put the remains of the ghouls on the ground into the spatial ring.

Since you've come here, let's bring some souvenirs back.

Maybe you'll be able to dissect some valuable material.

However, in the process of picking up the corpses, he accidentally discovers that the ghoul has many strange bite marks on its body.

The wound is cone-shaped, allowing deep muscles and bones to be clearly seen.

The edges of the hole have been corroded by an unknown liquid, and the surrounding skin tissue has been severely ulcerated.

And this phenomenon is not unique, the same situation occurs on the corpses of the vast majority of ghouls.

Chen Ye and several of his teammates did not have similar natural abilities.

Judging from this, the group of beasts in front of them should have encountered a battle not long ago.

In other words, they suddenly broke into the ruins of the ancient capital, not to attack human adventurers, but to avoid pursuit.

As soon as this thought came to Chen Ye's mind, a strange sound appeared again on the periphery of the capital.

Completely different from the ghoul roar, it is a high-frequency grinding sound.

Echoing in the open cavities of the rock formations, it is very uncomfortable.

Chen Ye immediately took out the mountain and sea map.

When I zoomed out the screen, I saw that the entire periphery of the capital was surrounded by countless black shadows.

A small number of dark shadows quickly moved in the direction of the temple, while most of the rest gathered near the rock pillars.

Chen Ye raised his head and looked at the rock pillar closest to the temple by the moonlight.

A dense layer of red dots was found clinging to the bottom of the rock pillar.

And these weird red dots are still spreading upward.

It seems to be trying to go through a fissure at the top of the rock formation to the surface area.

At the same time, a flickering red dot appeared on the central street.

The "creaking" grinding sound became clearer and clearer.

As the dark shadow gradually revealed its true face, Chen Ye's gaze couldn't help but froze slightly.

It turned out to be a strange-looking beast.

The size is close to that of an adult Caucasian dog, and it looks a bit like a worm.

The body is covered with slender appendages, and there are two spiral-like spikes that rise high on the tail.

And the red dots that keep flashing are their eyes.

【Terra Creature: Centipede Thorn Worm】

[A first-class alien beast, an arthropod that inhabits the underground world, and has 25 pairs of feet that can perceive the surrounding environment]

[There are two spiral-shaped spikes on the tail, which communicate with the poison glands in the body, and when it hits the target, it will release a powerful hallucinogenic toxin]

[The beast is a symbiote between hers and sexes, after capturing the prey, the male will parasitize on the prey's body, controlling its consciousness and body, and the female will burrow into the organ area and start laying eggs]

[The body fluids of the stinging insects are rich in excitatory pheromones, and after inhalation or accidental ingestion, they will fall into an uncontrolled state of rampage until their vitality is exhausted and they die]

Although it is still a first-class beast, judging from the content of the illustrated book, the danger level is far higher than that of the ghoul.

Something was wrong, and Chen Ye immediately put on a set of power armor.

At the same time, he took out a military composite crossbow and fired five explosive crossbow arrows into the street.

On the wide road, a cluster of crimson fireballs instantly ignited.

The dimly lit ruins of the ancient capital city were also briefly illuminated by the firelight.

The hundred-legged stinger is more fragile than a ghoul and can kill one piece with a single bolt.

But when they die, they release a blue-green gas.

The insects that inhaled the gas all entered a berserk state.

The body and appendages spread out in a ring of red lines.

In particular, the spiral-like spikes on the tail constantly shimmer with a strange red light.

The hundred-legged stinging insect after the rage moves extremely fast.

Even Chen Ye, who has a rank increase, is difficult to capture their flexible figures.

"We're going to get out of here!"

Chen Ye quickly took out the mountain and sea map and turned on the function [Return to the City].

The hologram unfolds, and the island in the southeast corner of the map emits a blue glow.

After selecting the watchtower, a prompt appears in front of you:

[Consume 200 Survival Points and teleport to the vicinity of the safe house]

Transmission!

Chen Ye decisively gave an order.

The disc base of the chart beeped.

A circle of light with white edges on a black background is then projected on the ground.

The aperture ripples with a stream of energy particles like water waves.

On the periphery is a rotating aura that spins faster and faster as time goes on.

Chen Ye immediately beckoned his teammates into the aperture.

By this time, the centipede had arrived near the inner city.

They were about to attack the human adventurers in front of them, but as a bright light flashed, all that remained in the streets was scorched black.

This was the first time Chen Ye had felt the taste of spatial teleportation.

It is a relatively strong feeling of weightlessness.

But it's not the same as the feeling of falling from a height, it's more like there is some kind of force dragging the body down rapidly.

This feeling came very shortly, almost in the blink of an eye, and the person was already standing intact in front of the watchtower.

Chen Ye couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Even if you take a jumping machine, there is no stimulation from space transmission.

However, when he came back to his senses, he heard strange voices in the distance.

Chen Ye stood on the edge of the island and looked in the direction of the forest.

only to find that the coastline is full of dense centipede spiny insects.

He teleported back to the island without even a second before and after.

The insects in the ruins of the ancient capital city, no matter how fast they run, they can't come to a place seven or eight kilometers away in the blink of an eye.

So, it's quite possible that it's coming out of somewhere else.

Could it be a bug tide?

Chen Ye turned to look at the place where the sea and the sky met, and his face became more and more solemn.

It was early in the morning of the fifth day, and there should be early signs of natural disasters.

But now, except for the insects that suddenly appeared, there was nothing unusual in the sky or sea.

In that case, natural disasters are not limited to natural disasters!

On the other side, some of the centipede have discovered the existence of the island and have begun to try to cross the sea.

But their bodies are too light, and they don't flutter a few times before they are hit by the waves on the beach.

Just when Chen Ye thought that he had a geographical advantage and could put his mind at ease.

The insects actually gathered together, rolled into the sea, and swam against the waves.

At the same time, more than a dozen snake-tailed Rafflesia came out of the forest.

These behemoths stand inside a swarm of bugs, looking out of place.

Chen Ye also found some strange things.

The snake-tailed Rafflesia was not attacked by the centipede.

And he walked unusually staggeringly, as if he would fall to the ground in the next second.

The tentacles that grow on the surface of the body are also constantly twitching, and they will even attack the petals on their bodies.

Chen Ye recalled the illustrated description of the hundred-legged stinging insect.

I secretly screamed in my heart that it was not good.

The snake-tailed Rafflesia is parasitic!

Sure enough, these behemoths jumped directly into the sea and swam in the direction of the island.

They also act as transport ships, carrying many centipede spines on their backs.

Chen Ye retracted his gaze and turned to look at the broken watchtower.

There are a large number of strange beasts this time, and there is no big advantage in frontal combat, so they can only defend themselves in the watchtower.

But.

The temple has a powerful defense system, so you don't have to worry about being invaded by foreign beasts.

The starship area is protected by an electromagnetic barrier and has no effect.

Even the ruins of a town that have long since collapsed will be protected from the centipede by the biological waves released by the interference tower.

And the watchtowers built on the island do not have any protective measures.

Once destroyed by the Bug Tide, it's over!

Therefore, strengthening the watchtower has become the most important task at present.
