Esther looked directly above the giant beetle, where the faint light was coming from. After walking through the network of underground nests for so long, Esther was certain that only directly above the beetle was the only exit.

So whether it's killing this Hornworm or getting rid of Jack easily, it's a big problem for East right now. Although he wanted to rush directly, his reason kept warning Easter that doing so would be a death sentence.

The Phantom Spider was still shuttling among the Devil-Horned Soldiers, and at this moment the Phantom Spider was wrapped in a layer of dirt, and it looked so black that it was difficult to make out its original appearance. It did as Esther had ordered, but tentatively touched the Horned Worm lying on the ground.

The result is exciting, these magic horned soldiers have long since lost their vitality, and at the moment they are all empty shells. Esther was a little relieved at this time, if the Devil Horn Worm Mother and the soldiers and insects all over the ground, Esther really didn't have a chance at all, but now it's different. I checked the peripheral bones, but fortunately, the damage was not large, and it could be supported for a while. Esther relented, and he reined in his breath and began to walk slowly towards the lair against the wall.

If it weren't for the constantly bulging abdomen, East even suspected that the Devilhorn Worm Mother had already lost its vitality, and he once tentatively used the Force to grab a Devilhorn Worm and throw it over, until the Soldier's body was smashed on the Devilhorn Worm's body, and the other party did not react.

Easter's courage grew, and he began to walk towards the platform, the spike in his right hand was held tightly by him, and when he was less than a meter away from the Devilhorn Mother, the other party still did not react in the slightest.

Suddenly, Easter's right hand stabbed out violently, viciously stabbing on the opponent's body, and the hard carapace directly broke the spikes in Easter's hand, and the opponent was unique. Esther couldn't strike a blow and then retreated, staring at the behemoth in front of him vigilantly, and didn't see any movement from the other party for a long time.

"Ahem......" A cough made Esther almost jump, and he suddenly turned around, only to see a petite figure crawling up from the corpse of the Devilhorn Beetle.

"Don't be tempted, the mother worm is dead. ”

It turned out to be Naga's voice, and Esther hurriedly ran over and hugged the crumbling Naga.

I saw that the girl's face was covered with blood, a huge wound on her chest stretched from her shoulder to her ribs, and a large area of snow-white skin was exposed, but at this moment it was stained red with blood.

Esther hurriedly stretched out his hands, and the blue force began to coalesce in his palms, and he immediately healed the huge wound on Nanaga's body from his shoulder all the way down. When the palm brushed Nagana's already full chest, both of them couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Fortunately, the environment at this moment is special, and the two of them temporarily put aside the momentary embarrassment, and Esther began to treat with a focused expression.

"After being pulled into this cave, there are soldiers and insects blocking the gap. And I woke up from the shock when I hit the ground. In order to relieve her embarrassment, Naga began to talk about what happened after entering the underground lair, "At that time, you were still unconscious, and there were a lot of soldiers and insects pouring out of the area, so I had to flee. ”

At this point, Naga paused visibly. Ista nodded: "I understand that senseless sacrifices are not worth anything. ”

"What if it were you?" Naga suddenly asked, for some reason.

Easter's hands paused slightly, and the next moment he resumed his treatment again: "I'm different from you, I have my own bottom line. I will not leave any of my companions behind, including you, of course. ”

There was silence for a moment, and it wasn't until Esther's treatment was over that Naga gathered up her clothes to cover a large area of her skin: "I accidentally broke into this lair. McGee and Jack were hanging from the top of the cave, and I rescued them while the three of us faced an endless stream of soldiers. The Horned Mother was very strong, it first corroded McGee with venom, and then hit me hard, and Jack was lucky, although he was not seriously injured, he was swallowed by the Mother Worm. Maybe it's because Jack's flesh stinks, so the big guy starts to struggle, see the corpses of the devilhorn beetles all over the ground, this is the mother worm absorbs all their life essence in one go, and uses it to fight against Jack in the body. ”

Naga let out a sigh of relief, "At the last moment, I nailed the alloy longsword into the body of the worm mother, and I believe that the explosion of the Force has consumed its life. But I don't know why, this big guy just lay quietly on the stone platform, motionless. Although the vitality has long been cut off, you can also see that inside the bulging belly, Jack is transforming him by the worm mother. ”

"We've got to kill him, I don't want to face a Jack who turns into a beetle. Esther made a rare joke, apparently it didn't work out well, and Naga was still cold.

"I can't fight right now, so I'm up to you. Naga said as she pulled out an alloy longsword and an alloy longbow from the corpse of the horned beetle.

"You can test the strength of your abdomen with a bow and arrow first, and see if the worm mother has left any traps. Naga instructed.

Ister nodded, he drew a sharp arrow, and walked quickly to the bottom of the platform, the alloy longbow stretched into a full moon, and the black electric light began to dance above the arrow.

Esther let out a low cry and saw the arrow whizz out, slamming into the belly of the Devilhorn Mother with a pitch-black electric light.

"Boom!", black electric light rushed in all directions, Easter's eyes were firmly fixed on the abdomen of the devil-horned worm mother, the sharp alloy arrow was slightly deformed under the squeeze of the Force, but it folded directly the moment it hit the abdomen. However, the abdomen of the Devilhorn Worm Mother was not damaged in the slightest.

"Sure enough, it was the same as I guessed. Naga stepped forward with a feeble step, "We can't break through its defenses right now. We can only wait for Jack to be transformed. ”

"What will become of Jack?" said a faint sense of unease rose in Easter's heart.

Naga shook her head, "I don't know. There is no information about this in my database, and although the genetic sequence of humans is powerful and malleable, it is very different from the genes of the Zerg. There's a good chance that Jack will turn into a monster, or become a puppet of Mother Horn. ”

"In short, no matter how it changes, Jack's strength will definitely increase. ”

Esther raised his head and looked at the top of the cavern, where a little light came out, "How long have we been trapped?"

"Four or five hours. Naga also looked up, "It should be daytime now." ”

"Why don't you bypass this big bug and rush straight out?" asked Easter.

Naga didn't answer, she just reached out with her hands, used the Force to grab the corpse of a horned soldier, and smashed it into the glowing place.

As soon as the corpse flew close to the bright place, the two terrifying tentacles of the mother of the Devil Horn Worm suddenly rose, and Esther felt a flower in front of him, and the corpse of the Devil Horn Soldier Worm was cut into powder by the two black shadows.

"See, the two of us are still alive until now, it should be for the food prepared for the mutated Jack. Naga said helplessly, "We're trapped. ”

"That's really good news. ”

With a wry smile and the alloy bow behind his back, Esther walked over to the twisted metal skeleton, and then crouched down and began to examine it carefully.

"It's all this time, are you still in the mood to make your little toy?" Naga said with some anger.

"Remember what you told me?" said Esther without looking back.

"What?"

"You're pretty sure I killed that two-headed xenomorph. Ever since then, I've been wondering if I really have the ability. Easter's hands kept wandering over the metal skeleton, as if searching for something, "until we're trapped here." Four or five hours passed, and I lay on the cold ground for so long, and not a single soldier insect came to attack me? The only explanation for this is that I must have subconsciously turned on that hidden ability. ”

"So I've been thinking about how I can awaken this ability. At the time, I was in a state of work, so I wondered if it was because of this that I was in a wonderful state. ”

"And now, I've found McGee's chip, and this guy's evolution level is obviously higher than that of other B1 machines, so I'll take a good look at it. I can also confirm my suspicions!"

"Whatever you want!"

Naga didn't know where her temper came from, and turned away from Easter, while she began to slowly recover her body. Quietly waiting for Jack's appearance!

Esther took out the Phantom Spider Emperor and took out the smart chip inside, and at this moment McGee's chip was also held by Easter.

His initial idea was to call McGee's intelligent system to complement the Phantom Spider Emperor, so as to improve the level of the smart chip, open up more functions, and even let the Phantom Spider have its own consciousness and personality. Thinking of this, Esther was a little excited.

The pale golden pupils began to diffuse, and the azure points of light began to light up little by little, like stars in the golden sky, and Esther was once again immersed in the wonderful feeling. He can no longer hear a sound from the outside world, he can no longer see a scene from the outside world, only the smart chip in front of him.

Naga opened her eyes in surprise, and Esther's breath vanished again. But at this moment, a terrifying wave of Force power in the Demon Horn Mother made Naga turn abruptly.

"It really hurts......"

An arm wrapped in scarlet armor suddenly pierced the mother of the Devilhorn worm's abdomen, and a foul-smelling liquid sprayed out......
