Chapter 259 The enemy’s gaze

"Buzzing buzzing", obviously no flying insects were seen before, but the cave on the third floor was filled with the noise of the flapping wings of insects, which was very disturbing.Following the sound, I looked into the cave. Surrounded by a crowd of insects, I saw a medium-sized beetle over one meter tall and two meters long, lying in the middle of the cave. The beetle's wings were slightly spread, and there were many of them twenty or thirty centimeters long. Small insects flew in and out from under its wings, making disturbing noises.

This beetle is different from the giant beetles that looked like heavy tanks that we encountered before, and it looks very special visually.On the surface, it looks like an ordinary beetle magnified hundreds of times. There are no sharp horny weapons or vicious acidic corrosive fluids. The shape of its mouthparts doesn't seem to spray poison, and it doesn't seem to be aggressive at all. , it’s just a little bigger.

However, if you observe carefully, you will find that the shell on its body surface is full of metallic luster. When the wings open and close, there are sounds of metal and iron clanging from time to time. The edge of the flying transparent tulle flashed a hint of metal chill in the dim light from time to time, it can be seen that its entire body surface has been metalized, and it is probably harder than a real chariot.

Another special thing about it is its six legs. The legs of the metal beetle are extremely thick, even thicker than those giant beetles that are much larger than it. The six legs are full of explosive power. The two people saw with their own eyes that it was just He moved his legs unintentionally, and a bottom-level insect without eyes came close to him and was bounced into the wall. Not only did its carapace shatter, it even knocked off several edges of the stone wall.

Excellent defense, excellent strength, and more importantly, obvious energy flow can be detected in its body.

It has been almost four days since I arrived in this world. Although I have not seen any intelligent creatures, I have seen a lot of bugs, and I have never encountered a bug that can control energy.Without the ability to control energy, no matter how powerful the physical quality is, it is just an ordinary creature. There is no energy infusion in the attack, and it is difficult to hurt a warrior, even a low-level warrior.

Because of this, everyone was relatively calm before. No matter how many bugs there are, as long as the energy of the warriors is not exhausted, it will be difficult to kill them. The only ones who are more threatened are ordinary people.But it's different now. There are energy fluctuations in the bugs' bodies, which means they already know how to control energy, and the threat to the Parvatiga people has greatly increased.It would be okay if the bugs knew it before, but if they just learned it from the Parvatiga people, then their learning ability is really terrible.

"Wei." Shuer tapped his thigh and pondered for a while, then asked in a low voice, "When you came into contact with the insect swarm in the past, did they show that they could store energy in their bodies and control it freely? No, it should be, you said that we His strength is above A-level among humans, but it is not yet S-level, which shows that there are still stronger human beings. This kind of strength is probably impossible to achieve without using energy to strengthen the body."

"Yes, Commander, several elders from the Soul Clan's Bipolar Temple, the Four Fangs from the Beast Clan, and our three S-class warriors from the human race can all control energy to fight."

"Where is the swarm?" Xiuer asked, "Should there be such individuals in the swarm, otherwise, all races would not join forces to fight against it."

"The queen of the insect swarm is good at manipulating soul energy. In addition, her several guardian insects can control energy to varying degrees to strengthen the body. As for other insect swarms, they are not very good at energy. At most, they only attack instinctively. It’s just some energy attached to it.”

"It was a big accident, should I be glad that I didn't actually execute the decapitation operation?" Xiu Er looked at the beetle lying in the center of the cave with a wry smile, "If the Queen of the Swarm's guards are as strong as this one, then she will die if she goes there. "

Indeed, the most special thing about this beetle is that the energy fluctuations in its body are very obvious. If you only measure the energy intensity, it has exceeded eight high-level mercenaries. Only this level of combat effectiveness can be achieved with the cooperation of other insects. Withstand the attack of the mutant spider mother, and even injure the mutant spider mother's body head-on.It is estimated that it itself was injured, but with the help of the carpet, it has now recovered. The mutant spider mother must have found that the enemy had returned to a good state and could not take this opportunity to expand the victory, so she stopped the attack.

"Om", the annoying sound of flapping wings stopped suddenly. The metal beetle folded its wings and retracted all the small beetles. It slowly crawled to the entrance of the cave and lay down on its stomach. It was obvious that it was ready to lead the charge at any time to meet the next challenge of the mutated spider mother.They seem to have made up their minds, firmly controlling the projection gate, and will never let the two creatures from Pavatiga escape. I really don't know how deep the hatred is.

However, this will be a hardship for Shuer and Moria.

The two of them happened to be at the entrance of the cave. The metal beetle walked until it was near where they were originally hiding. Its small body brought huge psychological pressure to them, especially its two compound eyes, which were larger than half a person. Reflecting the light from the outside world, no matter from which angle they looked, they felt that the compound eyes were staring at them. They even thought that they had been discovered for a time. If the two of them had not had excellent psychological quality and kept retreating at a steady speed without panic, maybe they would have retreated at a steady speed. It was discovered.

"Fortunately, it stopped."

Facing a bug whose combat power was at least equal to their own, and possibly even stronger than their own, the two of them no longer dared to talk at close range. If anything was related to energy manipulation, they couldn't use common sense to consider it. Although the bug didn't Hearing organ, but maybe there is some other way to make up for it. If you rely too much on it, you will regret it if you are caught talking.

Not daring to talk, the two had no choice but to quickly write in each other's palms. Fortunately, fighters have a sharper sense of touch than ordinary people, so it is still easy to recognize the words written by each other.

"Eh? I found that the color of its carapace is ugly. There are blue and gray. How can there be such a weird color beetle? It has no sense of protective color at all."

"I said, don't you think it's boring to write for a long time just to say such nonsense?"

"I don't think so, and aren't you doing the same thing? Don't you think what you wrote is not nonsense?"

"I heard that beetles like to eat plants. Aren't you a tree? Be careful."

"Eh? Are you stupid? I am obviously a deer. Have you ever seen a tree with four legs that can run all over the ground? The lack of knowledge is really pitiful."

"I've seen it before, and there's one right in front of me."

Writing meaningless nonsense to each other, the two cautiously backed away from the metal beetle.They are not very worried about their own safety. If they are discovered by a beetle, as long as they return to the territory of the cave-dwelling spider, a mutant spider mother will naturally protect them. In the same way, if they are discovered by a mutant spider mother, they can also use the same method, so It can also trigger a fight between the two sides again, which is killing two birds with one stone.

However, they don't want to be discovered, especially by bugs. Now Shuer and Moria have entered and exited the Soul Clan base several times, relying on invisibility. If they are discovered, there will be endless troubles, so it is better to be careful.

With such a mentality, the two of them finally retreated to the safe zone without a sound, and they could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and they didn't have to hold hands all the time to prepare to write.

"Eh? Then why don't you let go of my hand? You are indeed a plant lover." "No, I'm just thinking about pruning."

"Wow, what a devil, go away."

After adjusting the involuntary tension, the tense spirits of the two finally relaxed. Moriah suddenly changed her tone and asked seriously: "Now that you have seen the environment of the No. [-] escape point with your own eyes, you have given up, right?" .”

"Well, it's impossible to escape from Point [-]. There are insects guarding it, and there is a nest where insects can drill out endlessly. Even if we join forces with the cave-dwelling spiders, we can't attack Point [-], let alone even if we conquer it. , the millions of insect swarms outside are enough to drown us, the only hope now is the No. [-] Soul Clan underground base."

"What do you plan to do?"

"Let me ask you a question, Moria, are you afraid of death?"

"Huh?" Lin Jing was stunned. Although he didn't understand why Xiure asked this, he still replied, "I should be a little scared. I have only lived for a few years and there are still many things I haven't seen. Of course it would be best if I didn't die. ”

"That's it." Shuer said thoughtfully, "Then..."

"Can you wait until I finish speaking? Don't you know that it is rude to interrupt a lady?"

"But you are a deer, so it should be said that you are speaking from a female, oops."

"If you dare to offend a deer, I'll kick you to death." Lin Jing shook his hooves triumphantly, "I think all intelligent creatures are afraid of death, but deer cannot always live in peace, especially for warriors like us. As a professional, you may encounter danger at any time. If you shrink back because you are afraid of death, you are really failing to live up to the abilities that fate has given us. Moreover, although you are a nuisance, you always hide your thoughts, and even Others regard him as an idiot, and his arbitrary actions are annoying, but his abilities are still relatively reliable, so you know what I mean?"

"I don't know at all." Xiuer shook his head and said, "I only know that you took the opportunity to scold me freely."

"Well, it's a pleasure to scold you, you idiot." Moria said disdainfully, "What I mean is that I recognize your ability and believe that you will handle everything well, so I am willing to leave my life to you for the time being. I want to Just try everything together once, and even if you fail or die, I won’t blame you, because you have tried your best.”

"Huh, I understand." Xiu Er said in a normal tone, "Since you think so, then I suggest you look back, um, don't be too nervous, just look back."

"I don't." Moria immediately realized that the situation had changed. Although she refused, she slowly turned around.Behind her is the path the two came from, and not far ahead is the temporary nest of the spiders.

At this time, the huge mutated spider mother happened to be lying in the middle of the road, with eight legs stretched out in all directions, blocking the way the two left.

No, it was definitely not a coincidence. The eight blood-red eyes of the mutated spider mother were staring intently at the positions of the two people who were invisible. It was definitely not a coincidence that the target was chosen so accurately.

"We...were discovered?" The fur on Moria deer's body exploded.

"You can choose by yourself, or go away quietly, and I will hold its attention during this time, or stay here, let's take a gamble."

"Ha, I said, I leave my life to you for the time being." Lin Jing sneered, "And I feel that the current situation seems to be the purpose of your trip. Since you already have a plan, you have to take a big gamble. Count on me."

"Then don't be surprised." Xiure suddenly canceled his invisibility and appeared in front of the mutated spider mother out of thin air.

"Hiss", the spider mother made a sharp inhalation sound from the air holes all over her body, stood up abruptly, and stared fixedly at Xiuer who suddenly appeared.

Xiuer did not move, standing defenseless, looking at the huge mutant spider mother with an expression that was half-smiling but not smiling.

The two sides who had formed a deep hatred just stared at each other from a distance, making the atmosphere indescribably weird.As she watched, the mutated spider mother slowly raised her upper body, opened her mouth, and exposed two sharp fangs on her upper jaw, signaling an attack.
