Doomsday Totem

Chapter 375 Cocooning
After landing, the Black Pig King split the giant beetle's head with a hatchet, and pulled out a mass of dark green brain tissue.After finding the crystal nucleus, he threw it to Iron Slag, then took out a can from his body, and put the remaining brain tissue in it.

"Is this edible?" Tie Slag asked curiously as he watched the action of the Black Pig King.

"It can't be eaten, but it has other uses, and you will know it later." The Black Pig King said with a mysterious smile.

Seeing him winking, Tie Slag just frowned and didn't continue to ask.After dinner, the Black Pig King treated the wound briefly, and then fell asleep.Seeing this, Iron Slag had no choice but to take charge of the vigil in the first half of the night.But in the second half of the night, the Black Pig King was still asleep. Considering that he was injured today, Tie Slag didn't wake him up, and continued to watch through the second half of the night.

The next morning, the sleepy black pig king looked at the bloodshot iron slag, and asked stupidly, "Why didn't you sleep last night?"

"If you can't wake up next time, I'll call you with a gun." Tie Slag threatened while playing with the Magnum revolver in his hand.

"Uh..." The Black Pig King was at a loss for words for a moment.

After packing up the camp, the two continued their journey towards the Black Water Lake.

After several days, Tie Slag gradually felt something abnormal in his body.The first few days after entering the high-radiation area were fine, but on the fifth day, he felt a burning sensation in his chest when he breathed, which was a sign of excessive radiation concentration in his body.He looked at his watch, and the radiation concentration in his body had already reached 20.00%. Then he measured the radiation concentration of the Black Pig King and found that it was only [-]%.It seems that the beetle's stamina and insect regeneration are very effective in resisting radiation, but unfortunately his ability is close to saturation and he can't absorb any more.

Noticing the abnormality of the iron slag, the Black Pig King took out a pack of yellow-brown liquid from the supply bag, stuffed it to him and said, "This is Fordling, it will make you feel better after drinking it."

"How much do you have left?" Tie Slag looked at the medicine in his hand and asked.

"There are only three packs left." The Black Pig King said.

Tie Slag thought for a while, opened the map and looked at it for a while, then shook his head, and said to himself: "Not enough." From the map, it is half a month away from here to Heishui Lake. And still without any trouble.He had almost run out of medicine from the academy, and there were still two "advanced radiation neutralizers" brought from the academy, but these medicines were for life-saving, and it would be a bit of a waste if they were spent on a regular basis.After all, these are the special offerings of the temple princess, and the efficacy of the medicine is several times better than that of ordinary medicines.

"Forget it, let's go back first, and wait until we get enough Fordling." Iron Slag quickly made a decision. Instead of taking risks here, it's better to come back after being fully prepared, and the most important thing is, They're running out of fuel.

"Maybe we can find a supply box." The Black Pig King suggested.

"What if you can't find it?" Tie Slag asked back.

"This..." The Black Pig King hesitated for a while, then said, "Don't worry, there are other ways."

"If there is any way, just make it clear, I don't have the habit of gambling." Tie Slag said with a cold face.When he first entered the high-radiation area, the black pig king said that he had brought enough medicine to let him enter with confidence.As a result, this so-called "enough" was based on his own standard, without taking into account his physical condition at all.With three packs of Fordling, even if he survived to the Black Water Lake, he would only have half his life left.

Seeing that the boss was not happy, the Black Pig King quickly took out the canned brain tissue from the giant beetle that day from the canvas bag, and said, "We have this, and all problems can be solved."

"And then?" Tie Slag frowned, looked at him and said.

"Okay..." Seeing Tie Slag's expression of distrust, the Black Pig King had no choice but to tell the truth.He also has an epic insectification ability called "Cocooning Evolution".This ability allows him to use the brain tissue of other insects to transform his own life form.

"So?" Tie Slag asked expressionlessly.What does the black pig king have to do with his ability to change life forms?
"This..." The Black Pig King hesitated for a moment, finally sighed, and said, "Forget it, let me try it for you."

Next, the two camped in place.After the black pig king had a big meal, he took out the brain tissue of the giant beetle and got into the tent.After a while, he poked his head out of the tent and said earnestly: "No matter what you see tomorrow, it will be me, don't hit me."

"En." Tie Slag nodded in response.

After entering the tent, the Black Pig King swallowed the dark green brain tissue, and then sat cross-legged.A few minutes later, as he let out a low growl, countless tiny white threads spewed out from his sweat glands, forming a cocoon around his body at a speed visible to the naked eye.As time went by, the silk thread became more and more entangled, completely hiding the figure in it.

silent night...

The next morning, Iron Slag, who was leaning against the locomotive in a daze, was awakened by a rustling noise.Opening his eyes, he saw that the black pig king's tent was heaving and falling, as if something was wriggling inside.Iron Slag immediately strode forward and tore down the tent.

In an instant, a huge cocoon came into view.This cocoon is oval in shape, with a diameter of about three meters in the middle and a length of about four meters. At this moment, it is shrinking and agitating, as if something is about to break out of the cocoon.Iron Slag frowned suddenly, and took several steps back while pulling out the Mailin revolver.People are always wary of unknown things, and Iron Slag is no exception.

"grumble!"

A few minutes later, a long cry suddenly sounded in the cocoon, just like the giant beetle that day.Immediately afterwards, several sharp jointed legs stabbed out, waved wildly, and gradually tore a big hole.

Iron Slag walked over slowly, and was about to look in through the gap, but at this moment, a huge beetle jumped out.Iron Slag immediately took a step back, bent his body and bent his arms, ready to attack at any time.

"grumble!"

After coming out, the giant beetle shook the mucus on its body, turned its small head and looked left and right.After discovering the iron slag, it immediately took a step back, and the six large jointed feet supporting the body slightly bent, making a gesture of submission.

One person and one worm confronted each other for a while, and after confirming that it had no intention of attacking, Tie Slag walked over and asked curiously, "Black Pig King?"

"Chi." The giant beetle let out a low cry.

"You can't talk?" Tie Slag asked again.

"Chi..." The giant beetle let out another low cry.

"If you become this, what problem can you solve?" Tie Slag crossed his hands in front of his chest, examining the other party and asked.

The giant beetle didn't make a sound, it just turned around, spread its elytra, and flapped its wings.Iron Slag immediately understood that they didn't need a car, they just flew over.The big beetle transformed by the black pig king is four meters long and three meters wide on its back. Besides sitting on people, it can also transport supplies.

After figuring out what the Black Pig King meant, Tie Slag packed up the supplies and the tent, and fixed them on the Black Pig King's worm back with a rope.In the end, Iron Slag lifted the cruiser and wanted to put it on the worm's back. The Black Pig King immediately stepped back and neighed at him.

"This car is very good, it's a pity to lose it." Tie Slag said.

"Chichi..." "Can't move your back?" "Chick..." "Try and talk." "Chichi!" "What a pity..." After finishing speaking, Tie Slag hid the cruiser and the big cavalry nearby He then took out a tent and covered it with the pile of stones, so that he could come back to pick it up if needed in the future.

Climbing up on the back of the worm, the black pig king spread its elytra, kicked hard on the ground with six thick and large jointed limbs, and immediately shot up into the sky.The biting wind was blowing head-on, and iron slag sitting on the back of the worm looked into the distance, and it felt more refreshing than riding a motorcycle.

"Just keep it in this form." Tie Slag suggested.Although he also has the ability to fly, the speed of the ant-shaped flying wings is very slow, and it will fall off automatically after half an hour, making it impossible to fly long distances.

"Chichi!" The black pig king beetle neighed sharply, expressing its strong dissatisfaction.

"By the way, go find the supply box." Iron Slag looked down at the ground and said.

"Hey..." The black pig king beetle responded by twisting its tentacles. It chirped once for affirmative and twice for negative.

A few hours later, Iron Slag found a large wooden box with a parachute on the ruins in front of him through the telescope, so he patted the Black Pig King on the back.The black pig king immediately swooped down and flew towards the direction Tie Slag was pointing at.

During the rapid flight, the distance of thousands of meters was approaching in an instant, and bright yellow figures gradually appeared on the ground.Looking down, I saw dozens of carapace-covered wolves crawling around the supply box, howling towards the sky.These are insect wolves, half insect, half wolf, one of the toughest creatures in the Southern Necropolis.

When it flew close, the black pig king beetle shrank its head and shot out two short legs.

"Xuuuuuuu......" Accompanied by two sharp piercing sounds, two spear-like joints pierced down, penetrated the carapace, and came out through the body, nailing the two worm-shaped wolves to the ground.

"Da da da da da da da da da..." Immediately afterwards, Tie Slag picked up the heavy machine gun of the Black Pig King and swept it towards the wolves on the ground.

Facing the attack from the air, the huge alpha wolf raised his head to the sky and howled, and retreated with the pack of wolves.And the two worm-like wolves nailed to the ground unexpectedly twisted their necks, bit off the jointed limbs that penetrated their bodies, and staggered after the wolves.The powerful vitality is really shocking.Only then did Iron Slag truly feel the horror of the mutated creatures.

Not long after, one person and one insect stopped next to the supply box.

Iron Slag pulled out the machete and pried open the wooden box.Peeling off the outer layer of waterproof paper and straw, I saw tin boxes inside.The side of the tin box was painted with labels, containing food, medicine, clothing, drinks, guns and ammunition, fuel, etc., as well as atonement coins packaged in exquisite wooden boxes.

"Hey!" Looking at the neat supplies, the black pig king beetle let out a triumphant neigh.

After some counting, there were about [-] atonement coins and [-] gold coins in the wooden box.Seeing the iron slag in the purse, the black pig king beetle neighed in protest.

In terms of medicines, there are ten small therapeutic needles, more than 100 bags of fordine, and various toxin neutralizers, stimulants, anesthetics, anti-inflammatory drugs, etc.Iron Slag packed all the medicines and tied them to the back of the Black Pig King.This is the most valuable item in the supply box, so naturally none of it can be left behind.

In terms of weapons, there are twelve semi-automatic rifles, five assault rifles, three combat shotguns, one sniper rifle, and twenty boxes of various ammunition.In consideration of the carrying weight, Iron Slag immediately unloaded the black pig king's rotary heavy machine gun and bullets.Regarding this, the Black Pig King neighed again in protest.

"Your gun is too old and worthless." Tie Slag explained.

"Chichi!" "I will find a place to hide it later, and I will come back to get it later." "Chi..." After convincing the black pig queen, Tie Slag packed the assault rifle, combat shotgun and sniper rifle, and picked out two boxes Rifle bullets and a box of shotguns were piled on the worm's back.There are only ten rounds of red silk armor-piercing bullets for sniper rifles, which are individually packaged in a small box.The iron slag was directly removed, and then stuffed one by one into the bullet belt on his body.Along the way, nearly half of the [-] rounds of explosive bombs were used up, so they had to find other weapons to replace them.

In terms of food, there are rice, flour, macaroni, and all kinds of dried meat, compressed biscuits, portable military cans, military meals, etc. Iron Slag picked the most expensive one with about [-] kilograms, and then under the strong request of the black pig king beetle, , Throwing the rest of the jerky to him.After the black pig king turned into a beetle, he ate a lot. Thirty to forty kilograms of beef jerky and hundreds of canned fruits were eaten up in a short while.

In terms of drinks, there is a case of Kraken red wine with a bad year and three "Mysera·VSOP".Mysera and the Pope's wine "St. Augustan Roja" is a series of wines, commonly known as angel wines, the same as the Li Qi series of wines, and "Valkyrie XO" known as the goddess wine and "Beowulf VS" known as the hero wine.As for wine, iron slag is naturally carried on the back of the insect without a bottle falling to the ground.On this point, the Black Pig King was surprisingly in agreement with him.

Among the remaining materials, Iron Slag picked out a few sets of tarpaulin military uniforms, packed the rest on the spot, found a cave nearby, and transported them all in. Then he moved large rocks to block the entrance of the cave, and made some camouflage.After doing all this, Iron Slag jumped on the back of the worm, drank some wine and ate canned meat, and continued to fly towards the Black Water Lake...
