Esther slowly opened his eyes, and it was darkness, and he felt a piercing pain in his chest with the slightest movement. It was lukewarm to the outside, and it was clear that blood was already dripping.
Esther sat up reluctantly, his eyes closed, and Force perception diffused, mirroring the scene around him into Esther's mind. He was in a huge cavern at the moment, and the ground was jagged with sharp horns, Esther didn't know what it was made of, and if it was rock, it looked more like a devilhorn beetle shell. And Easter's chest was pierced by such a sharp horn.
Esther gritted his teeth and pulled the sharp corners out little by little, and then he condensed the blue force in his palm, blocking his chest. Metal threads suddenly poked out of the heart of steel, and began to stitch the wound together quickly. It was a few minutes before Esther could barely get to his feet.
Naga is gone!
Esther vividly remembers holding Naga tightly in his arms before he fell unconscious, when Naga had been knocked unconscious by the massive tentacles. Obviously there was no way she could have left here, so the only explanation was that she had most likely been captured by the owner of the tentacles.
Esther wasn't in a hurry to look for it, he turned on the processor and began to look up the information about the Devilhorn Mother!
Among the Diablo 6 species, insects have always been the most abundant and difficult to study. But there is a common feature among these insects, that is, the mother worm is the leader of the entire population. Among the many insects, the only and most important job of the mother is to give birth to offspring, and the life cycle of insects is generally very short, so this also makes the mother size huge, and then can lay more eggs at once.
After moving towards the path of enormity, the insect mother's combat ability is almost lost, and most of them do not move their bodies for many years, relying on worker insects to feed themselves. Gradually, the arthropods of these mother worms began to degenerate, because they were completely unnecessary.
However, the mother of the magic horn beetle is very different, and even very different from the mother in the general sense. Not only do the Devilhorn Mothers maintain their strong combat abilities, but they are also not small in size, even on par with ordinary Mother Worms. This leads to the Devilhorn Worm Mother, which also has a huge size, and when combined with its strong combat power, it is simply a nightmare for any creature.
The most dangerous period for the mother is when she mates. At this time, the strongest soldier insect in the whole Zerg will mate with the worm mother, and only the strongest one can make the Devilhorn worm mother conceive, and then lay the only egg, and when the egg matures, a new Devilhorn worm mother will come out of it.
The new mother will take the place of the old mother and eat it. Eating in this way inherits the fighting instinct of the old insect mother, so that it grows quickly.
The mother of the horn worm mates every three years, which means that the lifespan of a mother is only three years. Whenever the mating time comes, the mother will become extremely irritable, and will even eat the soldier insects during mating. And if it is disturbed in any way, it will attack wildly. This is also the reason why there is no biological breath to be found in this area, as they are either scared away or become food in the wombs of the grumpy Hornworm mothers.
When Esther saw this, his face became unusually ugly. The only thing he couldn't understand was why he wasn't attacked when he was unconscious. Looking at his body, except for the wound on his chest, there was not even any damage to his clothes.
"Could it be that my ability has moved again?" Esther remembered Luther's words, and it seemed that he could activate a concealed ability under certain conditions, hiding all his aura as if it had disappeared out of thin air.
"Now is not the time to think about that. Esther mustered himself up, took the spike that pierced his chest in his hand, and used it as a temporary weapon, and he began to walk deeper into the cavern.
Esther unleashed the Phantom Spider Emperor and told him to make a way for him. And he began to sketch out the route map of the crypt. According to the images transmitted back by the Phantom Spider Emperor, he could roughly understand the structure of this crypt.
The entire underground is made up of numerous caves, each of which is connected to the surrounding cave tunnels. Then a huge net was formed underground, and the position where East was standing at the moment was a node in this huge net.
Esther couldn't help frowning, and for a moment he didn't know which direction to go. He tried to feel the fluctuations of the Force world, but to no avail. Naga's Force fluctuations seemed to disappear out of thin air. The only explanation is that her location is out of Esther's sentience, and at worst, she has become food for the Mother Worm.
East called up an electronic map of the underground lair, and he used the processor to roughly calculate the area of the underground lair, and then extrapolated according to his own location, and then found a location leading to the center of the lair. This time, Esther didn't intend to give up, even if he knew that the Horned Worm Mother was difficult to deal with, he wanted to try, he didn't want to give up any of his companions.
There are times when Easter thinks he is naïve, naïve and naïve. Since Kane and the big shot left, East has taken "not giving up on any of his companions" as his bottom line, which cannot be crossed and cannot be crossed.
Now that you have fallen into darkness, leave a ray of light in your heart!
The journey was smoother than Easter had expected, and it was simply too smooth, and he didn't encounter any attacks at all. This huge underground lair seems to have been completely abandoned, and it doesn't even feel the slightest breath of life.
East's brow furrowed, and he looked at the information again, and he couldn't find any answers in the limited information. And he can only continue to move forward according to his own calculations!
Finally, Esther happily jumped into the world of the Force with a wisp of life, and Esther firmly grasped this breath, because he was now, this is the breath of humanity.
"Naga?"
After a brief moment of euphoria, Esther calmed down again, because his breath was so weak that it could be extinguished at any moment, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, and the Force sensed it firmly and grabbed it, and then ran wildly.
The horizon gradually widened, and a ray of light began to shine into the otherwise dim environment. Esther slowed his degree, and he struggled to suppress his Force fluctuations as he began to move slowly forward.
On the electronic map, the size of this lair is far larger than the others, and the Phantom Spider Emperor also transmits the image inside to East's virtual screen.
In the middle of the huge nest, a huge beetle as large as a hill was lying on a platform made of rubble. The beetle was pitch black, with a wide dorsal carapace covered with sharp spikes up to a dozen centimeters long. Its belly bulged, covered with dark red spots of light, which rose and fell with the beetle's breathing. Six stout arthropods pierced deep into the earth, supporting the entire body of the giant beetle like six metal brackets, and two pitch-black tentacles from the top all the way down, entrenched on the beetle's side, looking very strange.
Beneath this platform crawled with soldiers and insects, curled up motionless, as if they had lost their life.
Easter's face changed, and the wisp of life he had grasped was actually coming from the belly of a giant beetle.
Esther took a deep breath, he closed his eyes, and the Force perception was waved to the extreme, finally confirming once again that the extremely faint breath of life was really coming from the belly of the huge beetle.
Esther opened his eyes, his pale golden pupils filled with rage, and he strode forward, ready to rush out and slash at the belly of the giant beetle. But when Esther appeared at the mouth of the cave, his gaze fell not far in front of the giant beetle.
It was also crawling with devilhorn beetles, but there was a vacant patch in the middle, and Easter's gaze was on a twisted alloy skeleton in the clearing. This is what the fighter qì man B1 has, and there is only one fighter qì man who enters this jungle, and that is McGee.
Esther stopped, and his body disappeared into the darkness again. He held his breath, and the Force sensed that it kept touching the belly of the giant beetle, and finally grasped the wisp of life breath firmly, and Esther followed the breath to explore it, and carefully burrowed into the body of the giant beetle. There, he seemed to see a terrifying sight.
A humanoid creature encased in slime, with tube-like stuff stuck in its body. With the ups and downs of the surrounding **, there is a surge of liquid in this duct from time to time, pouring into the body of the humanoid creature.
Esther could clearly feel that the humanoid creature's body was expanding rapidly, and after expanding to a certain extent, it suddenly exploded, and then the crimson flesh dissolved into the surrounding liquid. The next moment, the liquid was stained red, but then a trace of tender flesh began to grow. It's just that this tender meat is more like bright red armor.
"Jack!"
Esther was shocked to find that the humanoid creature was Jack. The familiar fluctuations of the Force were revealed the moment the new flesh grew, and was captured by Easter's Force perception.
"Kill...... Kill me!"
Jacktonguò's frail Force fluctuations sent a message to Easter!
Watching Jack's body being transformed little by little, Easter's gaze became more and more fierce: "Don't worry, killing you is the one thing I want to do the most!"
