Chapter 227: Swallowing the Spring
"I'm sorry!"
Xia Lu almost didn't hesitate for a second, and directly threw the queen out in his arms.
Let's see what this black water is.
The queen was more alert than any human, and long before Xia Lu made a move, she trapped Xia Lu with the bright red tentacles on her back in advance, and at the same time, one tentacle pierced into the ground, and the whole person became a living lever.
Xia Lu used his force to swap the positions of the two people, and it looked like he pushed the queen away and touched the black water himself.
Xia Lu's reaction was also extremely fast, and he quickly entered the phantom state.
In an instant, Xia Lu's arm was entangled in black water, and a huge suction force came.
Even in the phantom state, Xia Lu felt that his power was being swallowed up by the black water little by little, as if he wanted to suck his whole person in.
Xia Lu scolded, jumped deep on the ground with both feet, and broke away from Heishui's control.
There was a state of phantom, and the black water could not continue to wrap around him, like a maggot chasing him upwards on the tarsal bones.
It's like an iron nail hitting a magnet, and the speed is incredibly fast.
Xia Lu swung a knife in the air, trying to block the black water.
Although the spatial blade cut through the black water, it was quickly wrapped in the black water.
In an instant, the spatial blade vanished.
The energy is sucked away!
Xia Lu's face changed greatly.
With this moment of resistance, he landed successfully and then ran wildly.
The Xenoqueen also ran wildly ahead, but strangely enough, she didn't use the lightning ability and ran on two legs.
In this way, her speed was much slower, and she was quickly caught up by Xia Lu.
The xeno-queen was already bleeding from her bare feet, and her face was full of pain.
But when she saw Xia Lu surpassing her, she immediately made a loud voice in a hurry, and at the same time cast a look at Xia Lu for help.
It's good that she didn't make a sound, but as soon as she made a sound, Xia Lu noticed her, and was immediately overjoyed, and raised the spatial blade to slash at the xenomorph queen.
The queen was startled and hurriedly cast her ability to dodge and quickly move forward.
At this time, as if he had been summoned by some kind of summoning, the black water behind him accelerated towards the xenomorph queen, faster than lightning.
Seeing that the black water was about to touch the queen, it suddenly stopped, as if it was frozen by something.
Immediately after, the black water quickly shrank back.
Xia Lu's face changed slightly when he saw this, and before he could figure out what was going on, the black water suddenly catapulted at him again.
He quickly sped up and reached the xeno-queen's side, and the black water shrank back again.
Xia Lu suddenly realized that this was the limit that Heishui could reach.
Relieved, Xia Lu suddenly gasped for breath.
I almost died of exhaustion from running all the way.
The xenomorph queen was also panting, and the two of them couldn't care about anyone for a while.
When Xia Lu eased up, he planned to deal with the xenomorph queen first, but he saw that she kept looking at the direction of the black water.
Xia Lu looked over, but saw that the formation was still running in the distance, and more black water gushed out.
The blackwater was expanding in its range, rapidly spreading in their direction as if it were alive.
Taking advantage of the xeno's inattention, Xia Lu placed the spatial blade on her neck.
"I don't care what method you use, tell me what the hell this is, or you'll die."
Xia Lu made a cold sound.
The xenoqueen seemed to realize that she was in danger, and turned her head to look at him with a frown.
"Boom ......"
She opened her mouth and tried to make a sound.
"Aren't you mind controlling? Can't communicate with me with a spiritual link? ”
Xia Lu's face was displeased.
The xenomorph queen showed anger when she heard this, and she explained again, but Xia Lu couldn't understand a word.
The two of them were in a stalemate for a while, and finally the xenomorph queen let out a vicious breath, squirming her lips and babbling in the same way that humans spoke.
The more Xia Lu listened, the more anxious she became, and she really wanted to slaughter her with a knife.
But he didn't know what this black water was, and he didn't dare to leave.
Finally, the xenomorph queen seemed to figure out a little way, and said two words with difficulty in a muffled voice: "Devouring Spring!" ”
"Eater Springs?"
Xia Lu searched in his mind for a while, whether in his previous life or in this life, he had never heard these two words.
But literally, he deduced a little bit of a doorway.
"You mean, this thing eats up energy?"
Hearing this, the xenomorph queen nodded hurriedly.
"Then whether it is conscious or not, will it hunt us down?"
The Xenomorph Queen shook her head, then nodded again.
"Chasing ...... Energy...... Bump into...... Curse! ”
Xia Lu frowned when he heard this.
Why is there such a curse in this?
Suddenly, his face changed, and his hand subconsciously touched his neck.
"You're saying you'll be cursed if you touch it? What happens when you're cursed? ”
The Xenomorph Queen walked over to him when she heard this.
Xia Lu's expression tightened, hesitated, and let her over.
She carefully examined Xia Lu's neck and shook her head at him, "It's okay. ”
Now, she speaks much more clearly.
It can be seen that she does not know how to speak human language, but she needs to learn it again, and once she has mastered the skills, she will be able to speak much more easily.
Xia Lu breathed a sigh of relief, with a contemplative look on his face.
Soon, he said to the Xenomorph Queen: "Let's make a truce for the time being, and when the Swallowing Spring is solved, do you know how to solve it?" ”
The Xenomorph Queen nodded.
"You know, if you don't tell you, you'll kill me."
Xia Lu's eyes narrowed slightly.
This xeno-queen is too shrewd.
There was a fierce look in his eyes.
"If you don't tell me, I'll kill you right now."
The xenomorph queen sneered, and her neck stalked: "You kill!." ”
Xia Lu also sneered.
Seeing that she was in a routine, what about her, if she couldn't beat it, she was trying to figure out a way to kill her first.
Xia Lu was injured with a little force, and the spatial blade cut through the neck of the xenomorph queen in an instant.
The xenomorph queen was shocked, obviously she didn't expect Xia Lu to be desperate to attack her.
Her face became nervous, and she quickly shook her head: "Don't!" ”
Then she hurriedly pointed to the generator in the distance: "Insulation, thunder and lightning." ”
Insulation?
Xia Lu's eyes flashed.
He suddenly remembered that this formation was called the Thunder Light Array.
The black water it produces should have the same properties as lightning, and its diffusion can be insulated with insulators.
Thinking of this, Xia Lu was overjoyed.
Taking advantage of the moment he was distracted, the xenomorph queen suddenly turned into a bolt of lightning and rushed away.
Roar!
The black water behind him instantly seemed to be stimulated by something, and suddenly turned into a black curtain and attacked the direction of the two people.
This time, it has spread a long distance, and the position of Xia Lu is no longer a safe location.
Seeing this, Xia Lu ran wildly, scolding the xenomorph queen in her heart for being too shrewd.
She will not miss any chance to kill her enemies and escape.
Chasing the xenomorph queen all the way, Xia Lu didn't dare to use the spatial blade to attack, for fear that she would use her ability to stimulate the black water again.
