Chapter 409: Lord of the Earth's Crust
"It's it!"
Ji Xinghuo felt a little wonderful, he had already given up searching, he only wanted to harvest spiritual source energy, and deliberately avoided the search area of other hunting teams.
As a result, the more you don't want it, the more it sends it to the door on its own.
At this moment, the Earth Eater was motionless underground, as if it was resting, not aware of the Ji Xinghuo lurking in the shadows.
His vision of the world was black and white, and his gaze penetrated the soil more than 4,000 meters thick, carefully observing this huge ground devourer. It was much larger than any ground eater it had ever seen before, with a total length of more than forty meters and a diameter of more than three meters!
In addition to being several times larger in size, the biggest difference between it and ordinary ground devourers is that the shell is covered with extremely thick spar armor, and the whole body is like a spar carving, which is extremely hard at first glance.
This is consistent with the description of the Inhumans who have encountered it.
"Crystal Armor!"
Overlimit, which transforms the outer skin into silica hedron armor, which effectively blocks physical attacks.
Ji Xinghuo confirmed that it was it.
On the Black Ringing Network, someone summed up the situation with it several times, speculating that this magnitude ground eater has at least one starfall ability, which is "gravity field", and there is a high probability that there is a second starfall ability.
This ability is tied to the earth, which causes it to lurk deeper underground and move faster.
Some speculate that it is likely to be the "lord of the earth's crust"!
This is much more powerful and precious than gravity ground. As the name suggests, the Lord of the Earth's Crust is able to move freely in the crust of the planet, and has the ability to manipulate the geology such as earth pulsations, land retreats, and earthquakes.
If you encounter danger or a strong enemy, as long as you drill deep into the earth's crust, even the Star Shepherd Sage will find it difficult.
Therefore, this magnitude devourer always escapes pursuit.
Ji Xinghuo did not act rashly.
He visually inspected it, and the ground devourer was more than 4,000 meters deep underground, and if it didn't come up, even if he knew its location, he would be helpless.
"Lured out?"
After being in the Silent Wasteland for so long, Ji Xinghuo had already killed tens of thousands of Earth Devouring Insects, and he knew this kind of monster very well.
Having encountered three natural calamity-level devouring insects, the stronger the strength, the more cautious they are, and they will never take the bait easily.
This magnitude ground eater is definitely smarter and harder to catch.
Ji Xinghuo was still thinking about what to do, and the Earth Devourer suddenly moved, moving quickly in the earth's crust.
He hurriedly shuttled through the shadows to follow.
"So fast!"
After only following for a while, Ji Xinghuo was very surprised.
The speed of the ground devourer in the ground is definitely not as fast as its own flight, but every time its body moves, it can advance dozens of meters in the high temperature and high pressure of the earth's crust, and on average, it moves more than 100 meters per second.
Luckily, it didn't notice it was being followed, and roamed aimlessly underground.
Sometimes it goes up, sometimes it goes down.
Ji Xinghuo relies on electromagnetic induction and the Darkest Orb to lock on to devouring insects at all times.
When it dives below ten kilometers, the senses become blurry, but it also does not seem to be able to withstand the increasing temperatures and pressures of the earth's crust for long periods of time, mostly staying at depths above five thousand meters.
After tracking for hundreds of kilometers, the devouring insect finally stopped, and then floated to within a thousand meters of the surface, lurking still.
"Another flood-level devourer!"
Ji Xinghuo immediately understood its intentions and wanted to hunt down another Earth Devourer.
He suddenly thought to himself, "No wonder there are so many Earth Devourers in such a large Silent Wasteland, but there are so few Earth Devourers that have evolved to the level of a natural disaster. ”
The flood-level devourer had no idea that it was being targeted, and that it was also targeting a prey.
It was a flock of moyun antelopes.
There are very few species that can survive in the silent wasteland, and the Moyungazelle is one of the only ones, and it is very numerous, more than ground eaters, and they are also very sensitive to ground vibrations, and will jump up at the slightest wind and grass, jump very high, and run fast.
Relying on this quick reaction and escape ability, Moyunante can survive the threat of ground devourers.
However, they remain at the bottom of the food chain and are the main prey of the ground eaters.
There are dozens of Moyun antelopes in this herd.
They are scattered within a range of several hundred meters, keeping a distance from each other, half of them are gnawing on grass blades, looking up from time to time, very vigilant; The other half watched the wind and listened to the movement underground.
Underground, the flood-level ground eaters slowly floated upward, approaching the center of the Moyun antelope herd.
And at a deeper level, the magnitude of the earthquake is also approaching.
The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind!
Ji Xinghuo saw this scene in the shadows, and couldn't help laughing, he was the last yellow sparrow.
He looked up.
It's daytime, and there are several hunting teams within a hundred kilometers, so you have to do it quickly.
This Hong-level Shock Devourer should have just evolved, with a body length of about twelve meters, but it was very cautious, and when it approached the Moyun Antelope, it was very patient to make a few detours, bypassing the direction of the Moyun Antelope who was in charge of watching the wind.
Ji Xinghuo teleported in stealth.
After a few silent movements, he came to the sky above the Moyun antelope group in advance, about a hundred meters above the ground.
The electric potential blade was held in his hand, the pupils of his eyes were completely blackened, and his breath was hidden.
Finally.
The flood-level ground devouring insect floated to the surface, just a few meters under the feet of the Moyun antelope, and suddenly released a gravity mutation, and the gravity within hundreds of meters suddenly increased by more than 20 times, and the Moyun antelope immediately screamed and jumped, but the height was only a dozen meters, and it fell down without jumping out of the range of the gravity mutation.
The ground rumbled.
A large area of sharp stabs pierced the body of the falling Moyun antelope from the bottom up, and suddenly screamed and blood splattered.
It was a successful raid, and the entire herd of Moyunantes was almost wiped out.
The Flood Ground Eaters eagerly burrowed out of the ground, opened their hideous mouths, and spewed out a stream of gray-white slime that was as sticky as hot asphalt, covering and corroding the Moyun antelope's body, making it impossible for them to break free.
It began to feast, its front end opening wider, swallowing the blood-soaked hairs into its throat.
When eating, the flood devouring insects can't help but relax.
It ignored the danger coming from deeper underground, and did not spot the Seasonal Spark above.
Ji Xinghuo silently looked down.
The magnitude devourer rose little by little, from three thousand meters to two thousand meters, one thousand meters, and when it entered five hundred meters, the flood level devouring its prey finally sensed the danger, but it was too late.
The earth trembled slightly, and there was a strange muffled sound.
The soil becomes firm and hard like rocks.
The flood-level ground devourer was trapped as if it were stuck in a quagmire just a few meters into it, and at the same time, the gravity increased by more than two hundred times, and even if it manipulated gravity to offset some of the restraints, the speed of the escape still dropped to less than one percent.
Unaffected, the magnitude ground eater swam up at breakneck speed and controlled the ground to squeeze its prey.
Huge earth thorns transformed from dirt pierced into the body of the flood-level devouring insects.
It rolled in sharp pain.
In the blink of an eye, he changed from a hunter to a prey.
When the magnitude of the earthquake devoured the insects floated, Ji Xinghuo also fell from mid-air, and Jiuyou broke away from his body and fell to the ground first, waiting for an opportunity; The miniature form of Qinghong also fell into the soil, ready to give a thunderous blow.
The struggles and painful roars of the flood-level devourers covered the movements and breath of Ji Xinghuo and the two-headed war pets.
Click!
With a bang, the flood-level devouring insects were crushed by the terrifying pressure of the earth, and the blood burst into the dirt.
The magnitude devouring insect approached without hesitation, and the front end was wide open, and it was about to start devouring.
Suddenly, it paused.
"Discovered!"
Ji Xinghuo did not hesitate to give the order.
Jiuyou released a dark energy vortex field, and the black vortex fell to the ground, sucking everything such as dirt and weeds towards the center, but the diameter of the dark energy vortex field was only 15 meters, and it could not completely cover the whole body of the ground devourer, and the suction power was partially weakened.
Despite this, he also sucked the magnitude devourer up from the ground, exposing half of his body.
"Roar!"
Qinghong instantly swelled to more than thirty meters, swung the claw of the Sky Split, and slashed into the half of the body of the Earth Devourer dragged outside the dark energy vortex field.
Sparks splash.
The crystal armor was instantly shattered, and its claws pierced through.
Qinghong bit into the middle of the ground devourer, but in the gravity field, its speed and strength were affected, and it could not send out its full strength, so it could only bite at the same time, and lightning burst out from its mouth.
At this time, the Earth Devourer had already gotten rid of the control of the dark energy vortex field, and it still had half of its body underground, and its upper body was frantically slapping Qinghong.
A ray of radio fell from the sky.
Rumble!
Before the front end of the Earth Devourer could hit Qinghong, it was hit by radio rays, and suddenly, the fragments of crystal armor and gray blood exploded.
With just one blow, the ground eater was hit hard.
The radio rays pierced through its front end, and Ji Xinghuo kept his gaze locked in the sky, turning the rays to continue cutting.
He held the ground in a void, and his psionic energy exploded, trying to manipulate the soil of the Earth Devourer for hundreds of meters, forcing it to break away from the ground.
However, the ground is monolithic and difficult to control.
Rumble!
The earth shakes and the mountains shake.
There was a violent shaking of the earth within a radius of thousands of meters, and countless rocky ground thorns were instantly formed, dozens of meters long, overwhelmingly shooting towards the Ji Xinghuo in the sky, so many that even the sky darkened.
At the same time, Ji Xinghuo felt that the gravity on him skyrocketed again, and a huge force dragged him down to the ground.
And the wounds on the ground eater healed quickly.
The radio rays were not fatal for a while, and it didn't care about the green rainbow that was frantically biting itself, and desperately drilled into the ground.
Jiu You's body expanded and liquefied, instantly turning into a torrent covering the earth, the liquid black fire flooded the Earth Devourer, the huge wave slapped, blocking the Earth Devourer from burrowing back into the ground, and the crystal armor wrapped in cold and hot liquid, and began to disintegrate in a blink of an eye.
"Want to escape?"
Ji Xinghuo's body turned into a bolt of lightning, avoiding the thorns that shot at him all over the sky and slashed at the ground devouring insects.
There was a loud thunderclap.
The ground thorns blocking in mid-air exploded one after another, and Ji Xinghuo had grown to a giant more than five meters tall, his eyes burst with electric light, and he entered the peak form of overload, dragon madness, and dark incarnation, and slashed out a thunderbolt.
When he shot with all his might, Qinghong cooperated with Jiu Humor and entangled the Earth Devourer.
Boom!
The electric potential blade slashed into the middle of the Earth Devourer, and the crystal armor blocked it, but it was still slashed open, and the war knife sank into it.
Ji Xinghuo's eyes were taken aback.
Rachel failed to cut off the Earth Devourer, and the Blade of Electricity was stuck in its body.
Countless gray blood spurted out, instantly transforming into that corrosive slime, enveloping a range of hundreds of meters.
Ji Xinghuo teleported away.
Qinghong was sprayed with mucus all over her body because of more than two hundred times the gravity, and her speed dropped significantly, but the mucus couldn't penetrate the Holy Scale Armor, but she couldn't get out for a while.
A large amount of slime mixed with the liquid black fire, and in an instant, it turned into a large black sea of fire like gasoline being ignited.
This did no harm to the Nine Shadows, and continued to turn into huge waves that crashed, drowning the ground devouring insects.
And the ground eater wails in pain.
After Ji Xinghuo teleported, he carefully observed and found that although the Earth Eater had been hit several times, the wound had healed immediately, and half of its body was still underground, drawing energy from the earth at an alarming speed to heal its injuries.
"Sure enough, it's the lord of the earth's crust!"
Ji Xinghuo's heart sank.
Lord of the Earth's Crust is the superior ability of Earth Pulsation.
Not only is this starfall ability able to move through the earth's crust unimpeded, manipulate geological changes, and sense vibrations in subtle ways, but it is also several times more efficient at drawing energy from the earth than the earth's pulsations, and recovers from injuries so fast that it is almost immortal!
If you can't separate the Earth Eater from the earth and cut off the energy source, it's almost impossible to kill it.
"Trouble ......"
Ji Xinghuo was very troubled, this ground devouring insect was too huge, weighing more than two thousand tons, and it was very difficult to get it out of the ground.
And it is not at the mercy of it, it will fight back ferociously.
At this time, the ground devourer took advantage of Qinghong's shrinking opportunity to break free of the slime, ignoring the huge waves of liquid black fire and desperately burrowing into the ground.
"Stop it!"
Ji Xinghuo shouted.
The torrent form of the Nine Shadows immediately churned, the black sea water contracted and deepened, and a whirlpool formed at the bottom to entangle the ground devourers and hold them up.
Qinghong also turned into a behemoth again, jumping into the whirlpool and biting the Earth Devourer, the claws of the Sky Splitting continued to wave, cutting huge wounds on the Earth Devourer's body, and the liquid black fire penetrated through the wounds, destroying the inside.
"Whew......"
The ground eater roared in pain, but the wound healed in an instant.
However, it is still entangled and bitten by Jiuyou and Qinghong, and with its huge body and gravity field, it always keeps half of its body in contact with the ground, giving full play to the effect of the lord of the earth's crust.
The wound healed in an instant, and the crystal armor healed quickly.
The ground eater fought back frantically in pain.
The earth cracked, and the bottomless abyss tried to devour the liquid of the Nine Shadows, and one by one the ground thorns shot towards Qinghong, and the boulder soared into the air like a cannonball, smashing on Qinghong's body in the gravity field and exploding.
The earthquake went on and on.
Within a radius of several thousand meters, the world was turned upside down, and three behemoths were fighting desperately.
While dodging the attack, Ji Xinghuo also tried a few shots, radio rays, Rachel and ball lightning, but none of them could kill the ground devourer in an instant, it not only had a strong defense, but also had no weaknesses.
As long as you can't kill it in one hit, no matter how serious the injury is, you can recover in a blink of an eye, and you will be completely tireless in battle.
The Lord of the Earth's Crust was not so powerful in the first place.
But when it is combined with the massive body of the Earth Eater, it wields a power similar to that of an eclipse!
Ji Xinghuo couldn't find a way to crack it for a while, and after the battle lasted for more than ten minutes, the Earth Devourer was still intact.
Qinghong and Jiuyou were not injured.
The battle was deadlocked.
Just when Ji Xinghuo was thinking about what to do, electromagnetic induction found that multiple hunting teams were coming, and the orbiting satellites had already locked on this area, and at high altitude, multiple shuttles entered the atmosphere from outer space.
There are also king-level powerhouses appearing on the horizon, rushing at supersonic speeds!
