Chapter 718: Plenty of ammunition
The row of compound eyes on the head of the strange insect all reflect the appearance of zero, and it seems that because of the long time they live underground, humans are rare creatures. So the strange insect hesitated for a second before opening its head and spit out a few tentacles from it and rolled towards Zero. However, the strange worm's momentary hesitation was enough to activate its own ability.
The last thing that was missing from beneath the ground was a shadow, a shadow jumping, and Zero had teleported out, appearing behind a stone pillar.
The strange worm's perception ability is very strong, and almost at the moment when Zero appears, it re-anchors the position of Zero. A vent opened on either side of the body, and a scorching stream of air erupted from it, sending the strange insects flying through at great speed. Before it got close to the stone pillar, the strange insect tentacles popped out, and the seemingly soft tentacles swept on the stone pillar, but the stone pillar was pulled out of the door.
There was even a tentacle that made a bend around the pillar, came to the back of the pillar, opened the small crosshead at Zero, and stabbed it again. Zero side flashed, the hand lightning grabbed out, and suddenly held a tentacle. The strange insect was startled, and the tentacles immediately pulled back, although they couldn't pull out, but the tentacles and hard hairs were all over the place, but they rubbed against the palm that activated the steel skin to create a little spark.
Zero snorted, pulled his hand around, and tore off the tip of the tentacle. The tentacle muscle breaks and squirts out a stream of insect fluid. At the end of his hand, he still struggled like a living thing, and the worm behind it screamed at injury. The injured monster worm was even more frenzied, and several tentacles on its body twitched wildly, and a few shadows jumped and dodged away, avoiding this chaotic but dangerous whipping.
Throw the tentacle on the ground, and the thing quickly dissolves. As if after detaching from the body, the oxidation process of the tentacle muscles is increased by thousands of times. At this time, the howling of strange insects gradually stopped, and the row of compound eyes flickered, but they all flashed with resentful light. It retracted its tentacles and swiped its limbs in Zero's direction, slamming into Zero as quickly as it was gliding on ice.
Zero bounced up on the spot, and a smug glint flashed in the monster's compound eyes. Its mouth was wide open, and from it spat out a huge tentacle that was the thickest of all, the thickness of an adult's arm. The surface of this tentacle is covered with hideous muscle groups, and at a quick glance, Zero notices that its muscle structure is very similar to that of snakes, which means that this tentacle has multiple power nodes. When necessary, catch the prey and strangle them alive!
This should be the biggest killer of the monster insect, and judging by its feigned rush forward, it forced Zero to jump up and then attack violently, showing the wisdom that ordinary mutant beasts do not have. Zero was frightened, and it was not the liliang of the strange insect that was shocked, but the cunning of this creature.
An invisible anti-gravity field opens, allowing Zero to move again in mid-air. Suddenly, the strange insect tentacles fell into the air, and it was so angry that it screamed again and again. Zero blamed it for attracting more companions, and this moment of grappling had already given him a rough idea of the creature's behavior patterns, so his murderous intent became secret. Under the effect of the anti-gravity field, he stepped on the void, as if stepping on a non-existent wall, and turned back in an instant.
The fist trembled slightly, and a blood-red light condensed on the fist, and several afterimages of the light tide were instantly pulled out, instantly hitting the giant of the strange insect.
A circle of pale red ripples exploded, but Zero's fist power went straight down, and the energy brought by the fist blade sprinted in a conical shape, like a high-speed electric drill, breaking through the shell of the monster insect as hard as steel, destroying its brain tissue all the way, and blasting out from the bottom, bringing out a puff of green insect fluid!
There was a loud noise, and the glowing moss under the head of the strange insect was dyed green by the insect fluid, and the strange insect died instantly, but its limbs were still twitching on the ground, and the two rows of arthropods made meaningless strokes, except for tearing the moss on the ground to shreds, but it did not cause any trouble to Zero.
Zero waited for the insect to completely stop its activity before walking over, the punch just now not only superimposed five attacks on Liliang, but also used the ability of spiral puncture, even the armor plate can blast out a hole, not to mention that the thickness of the insect shell is not comparable to the armor plate, and it is not surprising to be able to kill this insect Zero.
Not to mention the insects, if it weren't for the ability to specialize in defense, they would have to die if they hit this punch. However, from another aspect, this insect is almost comparable to a person with an ability of the fifth or sixth order.
Defense, reflexes, high intelligence, plus those dangerous tentacles, this can be called a bug of a biological hunter is almost a natural enemy of ordinary humans, and even if it is an ability, a low-level ability will not be their opponent. Only those above the sixth order have a chance of winning. Fortunately, this creature did not appear on the ground, otherwise the Western Continent would not be as prosperous as it is now.
After Zero examined the corpse, he found a high-energy response in its brain. So he broke open the shell, revealing the wrinkled brain of the worm. He reached into his brain and groped for a while, and suddenly touched a hard object. He took it out, but it was an energy spar the size of a child's fist. The surface of the spar is also covered with a layer of neural network, this thing should be the source of energy for the insect, which can produce energy spars in the body and use them as the driving force, the life mode of this insect is already very high-end, and it is only one step away from becoming a high-level intelligent life.
This spar preserves a fairly high purity of energy from strange insects, and if it is combined with biotechnology, it should be able to be transplanted into the body of the capable person to be used as a second power source in addition to the heart, and it can also be used as a backup energy, which has a very high use value. Zero accepted it unceremoniously, he tore off the tough flesh film behind the insect's abdominal carapace, made a simple bag, and threw the spar into it. However, Zero looked at the hole behind the high ground, and the depths should be the nest of this kind of bug, which means that there are still a dozen hedron in the account, and Zero will not be polite.
Even if he can't use this thing himself for the time being, if he sells it to Ishtar, it will be a hundred thousand gold coins. In other words, the remaining dozen or so monster insects were more than a million gold coins, which was like a moving vault.
After the hedron is removed, the muscular part of the worm's body quickly oxidizes and turns into a liquid. However, the shell remained, and during the inspection, Zero had found that the hardest part of the shell was the top of the head and the tip of the arthropod. The former starts with a shield, and the latter takes down a short spear. There was no need for a shield, but a short spear would do, and he removed the tip of the knuckle, so that he had eight more short spears in his hand.
Then he smeared a few handfuls of insect liquid on his body, so that as long as Zero did not appear nearby, the insects in the cave would only think that he was one of his companions by the smell alone.
Zero simply tore off the tattered tactical shirt and made a rope to tie the eight worm spears, and then carried the bag containing the hedron and walked towards the entrance of the cave. As he walked on the ground, he saw some giant rats swirling around in the distance. But they didn't dare to approach, it was probably the smell of insects left in the air that scared them away.
It's a good thing, Zero isn't afraid of giant rats, but he doesn't want to alarm the worms in the cave because of them.
A moment later he was on high ground, and below was a slope, and he slid down with zero care, and Zuihou felt the entrance to the hole. The light in the cave is relatively dim, because of the large number of insect activity, which makes it difficult for the glowing moss to grow, so the light source is relatively less than outside, but it does not prevent zero observation of the environment in the cave.
The cave is not spacious, with stalagmites intertwined. Not far away, Zero saw an oval-shaped shadow, it was a strange insect. It's just that it bites the rock at the top of the cave with its tentacles, and it hangs upside down like a bat. The insects' energy response is very smooth, and it seems to be resting. And behind it, there are a dozen more such resting bugs.
However, on the ground, there is still a bug active, which is supposed to be a guard and also a sentinel to ensure that its companions are not attacked while resting. The guard was near the swarm, and if he attacked it, it would definitely attract the attention of the other insects, so Zero thought about it and quietly left the hole.
Not long after, the guard suddenly smelled the giant rat. Its row of compound eyes shimmered, and there was a faint anger in it. For their species, the underground giant rats are their free-range pigs and sheep. They feed on giant rats, but each time they leave a portion for them to reproduce on their own. Giant rats have a short reproductive cycle, a lot of them, and a high survival rate, so there is no shortage of food for strange insects.
But that doesn't mean they allow rats to roam around their homes, even if they're not a threat to the swarm. Smelling the smell of a giant rat at the mouth of the cave, the bug spun around in place. Its duty is to protect its sleeping companions, but instinctively wants it to kill the giant rat at the entrance of the cave. The Zuihou bug obeyed instinct, and when it got out of the hole, it saw the corpse of a giant rat lying on the ground.
The bug was confused for a moment, and then it realized that it was a trap!
However, it woke up too late, and Zero fell from the sky, and the worm spear in its hand was bolted down, and in an instant it was nailed to the ground without passing the monster's head. The insect's mouth was so close to the ground that it couldn't make a sound warning at all, and even the thick tentacles in its mouth couldn't pop out to kill the enemy. In this way, after a moment of stalemate between Zero and it, the insect's body gradually quieted down.
After killing the bug, Zero dragged it away and took another hedron out of his head. After throwing it into the bag, Zero repeated his previous work and removed the insect's forelimbs as well, so that he had sixteen worm spears in his hands.
He walked into the cave with a bundle of worm spears in each hand, and found a spot where he could see all the worms. First hit the worm spear vertically and lightly stuck it into the ground, and Zero glanced around, and there were fifteen insects sleeping in this hole. If you need a spear for each bug, there's still a lot left. Plenty of ammo, Zero sighed. When he looked at the insects hanging upside down above the cave, there was an awe-inspiring light in Zero's eyes.
He first picked up an insect spear and flipped it in his hand, calculated the weight of the insect spear and the distance between the target, and shot in an instant. The worm spear turned into a phantom and instantly nailed into the head of a strange insect in the farthest distance!
