Chapter 372: Killing Gu Larvae
After letting Yue Mingxuan go back to pull people, Lu Chengfeng and Jiang Xingquan continued to go deeper.
From the entrance to now, they have come a long way. The layers of mournful screams are getting closer and louder, as if they are not far ahead. After walking cautiously for more than a mile, as the wide cavern narrowed, both realized that perhaps they were approaching the depths of the Cave of Sorrow.
Here, the cave makes a slight turn along the terrain.
After passing through this bend, the two suddenly saw that in the darkness ahead, there were faintly nine red lights. Moreover, the mournful sound was suddenly amplified, accompanied by strange chewing and trembling sounds. In between, there was also a wail that looked like a female voice, which sounded full of resentment.
Jiang Xingquan stopped and glanced into the darkness, waved his hand and shot out a cloud of golden holy light again.
Under the illumination of this light, the two people who walked dozens of steps forward were able to see everything in front of them. It's just that it doesn't matter if you don't look at it, this look surprised the two of them, and then it was disgusting.
It turned out that the nine-point red light seen in the distance was a special totem inserted into the ground. The totem is about a meter high, the thickness of a human arm, and it is engraved with strange runes. At the center of the rune was the red light that the two of them saw. Under the effect of this uncertain rune, the fifty meters around the totem were all shrouded in a faint blood-red aura.
The nine mysterious totems were divided into three rows, a total of three rows, and they were arranged in an unusually neat manner, covering all the nearby areas within a radius of several hundred meters.
In the center of these red circles of light are dozens of huge white and chubby bugs covered in dark yellow slime. These hundred-pound white worms, without any limbs, rely entirely on the wriggling of their tails to move forward. Where they crawl, they leave behind a slippery puddle of yellow slime. It was they who made that irritating scream. With this maggot-like size, it is really disgusting to see, and I even vomit my rice.
"What the hell is this?"
Looking at these monsters that seemed to have only hatched and drilled out from under the ground, Jiang Xingquan's face turned slightly pale, and he subconsciously took two steps back. He bet that there was no record of such a monster in the Apocalypse Cult classics he had read!
Lu Chengfeng didn't think of the origin of this bug at first, but after a few more glances, he searched for the true identity of this bug from the corner of his memory before he was reborn. It's just that when he thought of their origins, Lu Chengfeng's heart jumped violently, and he said to Jiang Xingquan in an eager voice: "They are the larvae of Gu Killing!"
"Killing Gu?"
Jiang Xingquan repeated and looked at Lu Chengfeng, expecting his further explanation.
Lu Chengfeng nodded and said, "That's the name, as far as I know, it's a kind of alien creature, and there is no such thing on the Mofeng Continent." Its form is divided into larvae and adults, devouring each other, evolving, and having a certain chance of evolving into a Worm King Killing Gu. Once it appears, it is almost impossible for a martial artist below the Holy Rank to defeat it!"
Listening to Lu Chengfeng's explanation, Jiang Xingquan was taken aback, and asked in disbelief: "The Insect King Killing Gu is so strong?"
"Yes!" Lu Chengfeng affirmed: "These are just larvae in front of you, they should be better." But if there is a worm king, the weakest one also has a ninth-order strength. This creature from an extraterrestrial plane lives only in dark, damp, and intensely resentful environments. Driven by resentful powers, they devour each other and then rapidly evolve. ”
Back then, the ancestor of the Lu family's sword god, when he traveled to the outer regions, he encountered this thing. After reading his account, Lu Chengfeng could recognize this thing.
"So, what are we going to do?"
Because he didn't understand, Jiang Xingquan took the initiative to ask Lu Chengfeng to see if he had any solutions.
"It's very simple, deal with them as quickly as possible!" Lu Chengfeng recalled for a few seconds and replied, "Although I don't know why these newly emerged Gu Killing Larvae get along peacefully, after they are attacked, they are likely to devour their companions and immediately start evolving. Once we find such examples, we must attack first, and try to destroy them all in the larval state. ”
"Good!"
Although these Gu Killing Larvae looked disgusting, their strength seemed to be around the sixth order. Coupled with that bulky size and ridiculous way of squirming, I'm afraid the strength will be discounted again. Although the number looks like a lot, Jiang Xingquan, who is a ninth-order, is not afraid at all, and he will kill a group of people with one move.
After bending his right hand and pinching the trick, he first blessed himself with a buff spell, and then cast a triple holy light cross.
Because these Killing Gu larvae were relatively scattered, his triple cross was not all aimed at one place, but through exquisite manipulation, he perfectly staggered the partition, and at the same time included no less than twenty Killing Gu larvae into the scope of the attack. With the strength of these Gu larvae, Jiang Xingquan was confident that he would wipe them out in one fell swoop!
However, something to his astonishment happened, when the powerful Holy Light Cross fell, it failed to kill those Gu killing larvae. On the contrary, there was an invisible force field that flashed away, blocking the Holy Light Cross without panic.
At the same time, Lu Chengfeng's thunderous army broke with all his might, and the giant sword and the subsequent sword qi explosion were also stopped!
Jiang Xingquan, who didn't believe in evil, snorted coldly, picked up the Cross Holy Soldier, and launched a single holy technique against a casual Gu larva not far away. However, this time, the holy art was still blocked by the invisible force field, and it did not hurt the larvae in the slightest. returned twice in a row, which made him and Lu Chengfeng realize something. After looking around, the two of them quickly turned their attention to the nine strange totems arranged in three or three.
Could it be that these totems are making trouble?
Although Lu Chengfeng couldn't see the runes on the totem, he guessed its purpose. The two glanced at each other, and instead of attacking the Gu Larva again, they threw the holy art and sword skills to the totem.
This time, when the knife was drawn and slashed, the totem inserted into the ground slammed violently. Although Lu Chengfeng's ring sword qi was blocked, the red light on the totem dimmed significantly, and the aperture on the ground began to shake. Affected by this, the Gu Killing Larva, which was originally quite calm, suddenly became impatient, and the mournful screams they emitted were also chaotic.
"It works!"
The two glanced at each other and saw each other's surprise. Since it was determined that it was the problem of the totem, the two of them did not leave their hands behind, and several major sword skills were fired in succession, first solving the three totems on the periphery, and then pulling out the middle one in one fell swoop.
At the moment of its destruction, the red circle of light that enveloped the nearby hundreds of meters shook and completely collapsed. A mutation has occurred. At the moment when the two of them were overjoyed, the dozens of Gu Killing larvae on the ground, as if they had lost their suppression, suddenly became manic. The two closest Gu larvae began to fight each other, opening their disgusting huge mouths to devour each other!
