An irregular rock shook and suddenly tumbled inward, rolling down the slope into the darkness with a few cracking sounds. A faint golden light appeared behind the rocks that had been pushed down, and Zero drilled in, and with one foot in the air, the whole person suddenly fell down. He didn't panic either, and activated the new ability of the empty body, an invisible force field wrapped his whole body, and under the action of the anti-gravity field, he fell to a halt, and Zero was suspended in mid-air.

He was looking for it outside just now, and finally found this gap. This is already in the belly of the mountain, but the wind is blowing from below, and it seems that the belly of the mountain is still going straight underground. Entering the space of this mountainside, it is obvious that the air is much wetter than outside, and the temperature is also a thousand. After a moment's pause, you can see patches of glowing blue moss growing on the rocks in the belly of the mountain, which make the belly of the mountain appear a little brighter. Even if the faint blue light they emit is not enough to light up the entire mountainside, Zero can still see the entire mountainside with the help of faint vision.

Where he was now was a slope that led deep into the depths of the mountain, and at the end it was hidden in the darkness, and it was impossible to see what the depths were. I don't know if this slope is natural or man-made, but there is a way to go, and it is better than being stuck in place. Piecemeal back to the ramp and stride down the slope. The underground of this Eternal Mountain Range is a huge underground space, and the towering stalagmites are as thick as pillars supporting the sky, densely connecting the underground and the mountains above. The stone pillars are covered with glowing moss, so from a distance, these stone pillars look like an upside-down star waterfall, with a faint blue light, which looks incomparably magnificent and magnificent.

The height of this slope is nearly 100 meters, and after walking for more than half an hour, Zero came to the ground. There was a mossy lichen growing underground, strange rocks, and several rivers meandering through the ground. At the end is a high ground that arches from the ground like a hill. Behind the hill is the rock wall, but there is a black hole in the wall that seems to lead to something else.

As soon as Zero tried to explore the entrance of the cave, he heard a strange scream echoing elsewhere underground. He quickly shrank behind a boulder and looked out, only to see a giant rat the size of a puppy emerge from the darkness. These giant fools seem to be a little different from the rampaging giant rats common in the Middle-earth continent, because of their long underground life, their eyes are basically degenerated, and their bodies are covered with hedgehog-like hairs.

These underground rats are gnawing on the moss of the ground and drawing water from several underground rivers. However, Zero noticed that not all of the rats were feeding or fetching water, and some of them were scattered and roaming around. They neither eat moss nor drink water, and are on guard like guards.

Could it be that there are predators here? As soon as Zero had the idea, a creeping sound could be heard from the high ground. When these sounds were heard, the giant rats in charge of the vigilance opened their mouths and let out a high-pitched whistling. As soon as they gave the warning, a row of strange insects crawled up from the high ground. These insects have small heads and large bodies, with mantis-like heads and four or five compound eyes scattered on their small heads. Each compound eye shimmers with a different light, and its body is an elliptical abdomen like a spider, flanked by a row of bristle insect arthropods.

These strange insects are covered with black shells, and the surface of the shells is covered with purple lines. Under the blue light of the glowing moss, the shells of the insects flowed with metallic lights from time to time, and it was clear that these hard shells were of the same quality as metal.

Strange insects poured down from the other side of the high ground like a black tide. Although there were only a dozen of them, and the number of giant rats was more than ten times that of them, the giant rats were very afraid of this strange insect. They screamed and fled, but the insects scattered, four or five of them skimming at high speed, and sometimes even bouncing off the ground, spewing a stream of air from either side of their abdominal cavity, pushing them to their destination faster.

Zero was awe-inspiring in his heart, these strange insects were obviously natural hunters, they had a high IQ, and they knew how to hunt rats. From the situation underground, it seems that the city of Rome thinks that there are no dangerous deviant creatures in the western continent, which is obviously wrong. As far as Zero saw, once they formed a numerical superiority on the ground, they would become very terrifying liliang.

Looking at the hunt in the distance, a few strange insects swam around and drove the rat swarm together. The rats huddled into a circle, guarded by the strongest rats on the perimeter. They let out a threatening howl at the insects, but the insects were apparently unmoved, their eyes constantly flashing with different colors. Zero noticed that the rays were regular, apparently a way for the strange insects to communicate.

They were not in a hurry to attack, but kept shrinking the encirclement, so a huge pressure was formed, constantly impacting the rat colony. The rats began to be overwhelmed, and finally a particularly strong giant rat rushed out. The giant rat sprints quickly over short distances, jumping on a monster worm in the blink of an eye. Then it opened its huge mouth full of sharp teeth and gnawed at the insect, but it seemed to bite a piece of fine iron, and between the sharp teeth and the insect shell, there was a fluffy fire, and there was a sharp grinding sound.

The monster insect that was attacked immediately swung its body and immediately threw the giant rat away, and when the giant rat was in mid-air, the abdomen of the monster insect suddenly opened, and a black shadow popped out of it and instantly hit the giant rat.

The giant rat immediately let out a terrible wail, and Zero could see that it was a tentacle-like thing. However, the kinetic energy of the instant ejection is comparable to that of a bullet, allowing the tip of the tentacle to easily pass through the giant rat's body. The tentacles exposed to the air actually cracked a cross at the front end, and knocked out a mouth full of broken teeth, which was extremely disgusting.

A "hissing" sound came from the mouthpiece, and the tentacles rolled back, carrying the giant rat back into the abdominal cavity with the still desperately struggling giant. The abdominal cavity immediately closed, followed by a chewing sound, and the cry of the giant rat quickly disappeared, as if it had been eaten by a strange worm.

It's the first time Zero has seen a mutant creature that takes its prey into its abdomen and eats it, and now this strange insect completely subverts the perception of terrestrial creatures, and is somewhat similar to some sea creatures.

Seeing that their companions were eaten, the giant rats launched a frantic attack, but their attacks were in vain. The abdomen of the strange insects cracked open one by one, and more than a dozen terrifying tentacles flew out of it, and the insects surrounded the rats, raising their tentacles and waving wildly in the rats. From time to time, a giant rat makes a tentacle draw, and there is a sound of flesh and bones breaking, and when they fall to the ground, they are often unable to move, so the tentacles for the insect are easily rolled up and sent to the abdomen.

The abdominal cavity of the strange insect simply did not close, and it just opened to chew on the giant rat that fell inside. Suddenly, I saw a blood mist erupting from the abdominal cavity, and from time to time, giant rats would struggle to crawl out of the abdominal cavity that was no different from hell, but without exception, they were pulled back by the strange insects with their tentacles.

The killing of insects is simple and efficient, on the other hand, on the giant rat's side, although there are also fierce deaths that bite the heads of monster insects, it does not prevent them from hunting their other companions. Strange to say, the head must be one of the weaknesses of a creature, and the head of a monster insect is obviously not harder than its body. As soon as the giant rat bites it, it immediately cracks, and the worm's blood flows. But even though the giant rat gnawed off one of their compound eyes, and even tore off the small half of their head, the insect remained unmoved, and continued to hunt the other giant rats.

The battle lasted only about half an hour, and most of the giant rats fell into the stomach of the strange worm. Zuihou should have eaten enough to blame the insects, and no longer formed an encirclement, they scattered. The remaining rats fled immediately, and in a matter of moments they were gone. Those strange insects fell directly to the ground when they were full, as if they were resting. But then, they did something that Zero didn't expect.

The monster insects rolled their bodies as hard as they could, until they turned their round bodies over and turned their backs to Genius and stopped. But at this time, their row of insect arthropods underwent a mutation, and their forelimbs, which were originally facing the sky, suddenly turned downward, and it seemed that their arthropod joints could move at will. After the front limbs landed on the ground, they lifted up and propped up the strange insects, and then turned around, and Zero saw that around the oval abdomen of these strange insects, there was another row of compound eyes!

In addition to the compound eyes, a dotted line split at the front of the abdomen, and some indigestible bones spat out of the mouth like a wide open mouth. After Zero retracted the stone, he replayed the image of the pest battle in his mind, and felt more and more that the thing that seemed to be the giant belly was the real head of these monster insects, and the head attacked by those giant rats was actually a camouflage organ used to attract the attention of the enemy and play a role in confusing it.

To put it simply, it's a trap that you can't really kill if you only attack the little heads of the monsters like a giant rat. So the monster insects don't pay attention to the giant rats that gnaw their heads, and instead the giant rats that jump on them will be thrown off, because those giant rats attack their real weaknesses.

High intelligence, high-speed catapulting tentacles, and trap-like organs have made this monster easy enough to squeeze into the ranks of top-notch hunters. It is conceivable that when faced with such strange insects, no matter who will habitually attack their heads, they will fall into the trap they hunt.

And when you figure out the characteristics of strange insects, you don't know how many lives you have to pay.

At this time, the well-fed monster worms began to return to the highlands. A strange insect walking in front of Zuihou suddenly stopped, and it turned around, its huge head full of compound eyes looking at the boulder where Zero was hiding. Its eyes became a little confused, and it left its companion and headed away in the direction of Zero alone. Hearing the sound of worm claws scraping the ground coming towards him, Zero knew that something was probably noticed by the strange insects.

In the distance, the other monsters had jumped off the heights, and all of them shrank into the black hole, as if it were their nest. At this moment, a large shadow suddenly appeared on Zero's head. Zero looked up, just in time to see the strange insect facing him, and on that huge head, Zero could even see black stiff hairs emerging from the cracks in the insect shell!
