502 Trapped

Raymond sat cross-legged at the end of the almost circular passageway, the expression on his face was a mixture of helplessness and irrepressible irritation.

Originally, he was forced to enter this strange world, but after seeing the insects that can make all wizards despair, Raymond came up with the idea of "can't afford to provoke and always hide".

However, I don't know what kind of strangeness exists in the world of the Dao, the spiritual power can only probe Raymond within a range of two hundred meters inside the rock, and after completing this one hundred and thirty meters long passage, except for the direction where the huge insect nest is located, all the areas that can be explored are all stones.

All of them are gray layers of rock, which were formed millions of years ago under the analysis of the chip, and their hardness and composition are similar to the magmatic rocks in the chip record, and they are ordinary stones of moderate hardness.

After careful inspection and analysis of this passage, Raymond discovered that the passage he was currently in was also corroded by those insects with acid.

In particular, an examination of the rock at the bottom of the passage led Raymond to find a large number of fine holes in the rock at the end of the cavern, and the traces of corrosion should have taken no more than ten hours according to the analysis of the chip.

Combined with the fact that these insects are still carrying out acid mist attacks on the collapsed gravel area, it is clear that the insects that are blocked by the rubble in the passage are digging this passage as an important job.

Therefore, after these insects opened the first gravel area, a large number of small creatures gathered in the gravel area blocked in the passage, and began to spray acid mist on the collapsed gravel in the passage, trying to make the passage clear again.

And what makes Raymond a little desperate is that these strange insects are not only extremely sensitive to energy fluctuations, but even the proximity of his mental power will cause them to be manic.

So Raymond had the chip estimate the rate of corrosion of the insect. Knowing that the two-meter-thick area of gravel could block the insect for two days at most, it would be opened up by the acid mist they spewed.

Knowing that he was currently in a difficult situation, Raymond immediately took action after carefully considering the risks he faced.

Attacking the passage near the gravel area eventually created a ten-meter-long area of rubble, giving him some time to get out of the predicament in front of him.

And since any location within the range of spiritual power was rocky, Raymond chose a random direction and started working after avoiding the direction in which this passage might extend.

First, he smashed a gap in the stone wall, and then Raymond used tenacious magic vines to pierce into the cracks in the rocks, and through the action of plant vines, the rocks were broken and pulled out. New channels are formed.

Through the monitoring of this behavior by the chip, in the face of such a hard rock, if it is destroyed by brute force, the collapse speed will be more than doubled, but the mana required is as much as five times that of using magic vines.

Therefore, although Raymond used the magic vine to dig a passage at a much lower speed, this method did not consume much mana for him.

But after Raymond dug a passage fifty meters long. However, he had to make drastic adjustments to the original direction.

Because under his spiritual power that can only probe two hundred meters. He found an insect nest again.

The area was far larger than the hall Raymond had seen before. As many as hundreds of huge insect hives were approached by Raymond's spiritual power, there was a serious commotion immediately.

In addition to the giant fist-sized insects he had seen before, Raymond had also found much larger individuals in the hall two hundred meters away from Raymond's passage.

These insects, which were extremely sensitive to fluctuations in mental power, immediately swarmed in Raymond's direction after they sensed Raymond's spiritual power. He began to spew acid mist at the stone wall there, as if trying to find Raymond's location.

With a distance of two hundred meters, Raymond could observe the movements of these magical creatures with peace of mind.

In this space of hundreds of huge insect nests, the largest individual was more than twenty centimeters long. And the strength of their dark shells seems to have increased greatly, and what surprised Raymond the most was that this oversized individual obviously had a certain amount of intelligence.

After they sensed the existence of Raymond's spiritual power, they used the acid mist in their bodies to form a standard circle on the stone wall, and then these huge insects withdrew, as if they had command, so that the smallest insects gathered and began to work in the circular area they had demarcated.

The stone wall, which had been reduced to a corroded area, began to melt at an alarming speed, and the stunned Raymond immediately ordered the chip to give an order. "Measure the rate at which the rock dissolves this way!"

"Task Established, Start Analyzing ......"

The stereotyped sound of the chip echoed in his head, and as the analog data was speculated and refreshed, the chip showed the conclusion in front of Raymond a moment later.

It only takes fifty centimeters in diameter to dissolve holes, and at the rate at which the smallest insect dissolves the rock, they will form a twenty-meter long passage every day!

And if the largest insects were to corrode the rock, they would advance at a rate of up to 50 meters a day.

After the chip marked the location with hundreds of hives, Raymond immediately changed his direction and re-selected a direction to excavate.

But on the third day after Raymond reversed course, he once again found a passage dug by this creature within the scope of his mental power exploration!

The three-meter-wide passage was almost circular, very similar to the one Raymond had entered first.

And in the passage where there were no rocks, the distance that Raymond's spiritual power could probe finally returned to normal.

However, Raymond, who followed this passage to investigate, found the location of his hive at a distance of two hundred meters at the end of this passage.

Among the more than thirty huge insect nests, there were no insects with a body length of more than twenty centimeters, but even those fist-sized insects, as if they also had a special ability to find the source of spiritual power, actually started to corrode the rock in the direction of Raymond in the closest place to Raymond in a short period of time.

Raymond, who had no choice but to think about how to confront these huge number of insects, had to give up the passage he had been digging for two days and changed direction again...... (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
