Chapter 69 The Enemy's Eyesight
"Buzzing" It was obvious that there were no flying bugs before, but the third cave was filled with the noise of insects flapping their wings, which made people feel upset. Following the sound, observing the cave, surrounded by crowded insects, a medium-sized beetle more than one meter high and two meters long lay in the middle of the cave. The beetle's wings spread slightly, and many small insects, twenty or thirty centimeters long, flew in and out from under its wings, making disturbing sounds.
This beetle is different from the giant beetles like heavy chariots I encountered before, and looks extremely special visually. On the surface, it looks just an image of an ordinary beetle after a hundred times magnification. It does not have sharp horny weapons, nor does it have any vicious and violent acid corrosion liquid. It seems that the shape of the mouthpiece will not spray poisons, it seems to be not aggressive at all, it is just a little bigger.
However, if you observe carefully, you will find that the shell on its body is full of metallic luster. As its wings open and close, the sound of gold and iron clashing from time to time. Even the transparent gauze stacked under the unfolded shell for flight flashed with a trace of metallic chill at the edges. It can be seen that the entire surface of its body has been metalized, which is probably harder than a real chariot.
Another special feature of 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 saw it with their own eyes that it just moved its legs by accident, and a bottom bug that had no eyes caught up was bounced and hit the wall. Not only did the carapace shatter, but it even knocked off several edges and corners of the stone wall.
Excellent defense, excellent strength, and more importantly, it can detect obvious energy flow in its body.
It's almost four days since we arrived in this world. Although we haven't seen smart creatures, we have seen many bugs and have never encountered bugs that can control energy. If we can't control energy, no matter how powerful the physical fitness is, it is just an ordinary creature. Without energy infusion during the attack, it is difficult to hurt a warrior, even a low-level warrior.
Because of this, people were calm before. No matter how many bugs there were, it would be difficult to kill them as long as they did not exhaust the energy of the warriors. The more threatened people were just ordinary people. But now it is different. Energy fluctuations in the insects' bodies mean that they already knew how to control energy and the threat to the Pavatiga people increased significantly. If the insects were in the past, it would be fine, but if they had just learned from the Pavatiga people, their learning ability would be terrible.
"Wei." Xiuer knocked his thigh and pondered for a while, and asked in a low voice, "When you came into contact with the insect swarm, have they shown that they can accumulate energy into the body for free to control it? No, there should be. You said that our strength is higher in humans, but we cannot reach S level, which means that there are stronger human individuals. This strength is unlikely to be achieved without using energy to strengthen the body."
"Yes, commander, several elders in the Bipolar Holy Hall of the Soul Clan, four fangs in the Beast Clan, and three S-class warriors of our human race can control energy to fight."
"Where is the insect swarm?" Shuer asked, "The insect swarm should have such individuals, otherwise it would not be fought against by all races."
"The queen of the insect swarm is good at controlling soul energy, and there are also several of its guard insects, which can control energy to strengthen the body to varying degrees. As for other Zergs, they are not very good at energy abilities, at most they can only instinctively attach some energy to the attack."
"What a big accident. Should I be glad that I didn't really carry out the beheading operation?" Shur looked at the beetle lying in the center of the cave with a wry smile. "If the queen of the swarm's guards are the same as this one, then she will die if she goes."
Indeed, the most special thing about this beetle is that the energy fluctuations in its body are very obvious. If the energy intensity is measured only, it has exceeded eight high-level mercenaries. Only at this level of combat power can withstand the attack of the mutant spider mother with the cooperation of other insects, and even damage the body of the mutant spider mother head-on. It is estimated that it was also injured, but with the help of the bacteria blanket, it has recovered now. The mutant spider mother must have found that the enemy has recovered and cannot take this opportunity to expand the results of the battle, so she stopped this attack.
"Buzz", the annoying wing flapping sound suddenly ended. The metal beetle closed its wings and retracted all the little beetles, slowly crawled to the entrance of the cave and lay down. The intention was obvious, and it was ready to take the lead in charge to meet the next challenge of the mutant spider mother. They seemed to have made up their minds and firmly controlled the projection gate and never let the two creatures from Pavatiga escape. I really don't know how deep the hatred is.
However, this made Sul and Moria suffer.
The two happened to be at the entrance of the cave. The metal beetle walked to the vicinity of the place where they were originally hiding before stopping. Their not huge bodies brought them huge psychological pressure, especially the two compound eyes that were bigger than half a person, constantly reflected the light from the outside world. No matter from any angle, they felt that the compound eyes were staring at them. They even thought they had been discovered for a time. If they had not had the psychological quality of the two, they had not panic and kept a steady speed and retreated, they might have been discovered.
"Fortunately, it stopped."
Facing a bug with a combat power of at least equal to that of himself or even stronger than himself, the two of them no longer dare to talk close. If something is related to energy manipulation, you cannot consider it with common sense. Although the bug has no hearing organs, there may be other ways to make up for it. If it is too arrogant, you will regret it if you are discovered because of the conversation.
They didn't dare to talk, so they had to write quickly in each other's palms. Fortunately, the warriors' sense of touch is sharper than ordinary people, so it is still easy to identify the words they wrote.
"Hey? I found that its carapace is ugly in color, blue and gray, and there is no such weird beetle as color as it is, and it has no awareness of protecting the color at all."
"I said, don't you think it's a boring behavior to write a long-term word just to say such nonsense?"
"Don't you think, and you're doing the same thing too? Do you think what you write is not nonsense?"
"I heard that beetles like to eat plants the most. Are you not a tree? Be careful."
"Hey? You're stupid. I'm obviously a deer. Have you ever seen a tree running around the ground with four legs? The lack of knowledge is so pitiful."
"I've seen it, there's one in front of me now."
They wrote meaningless nonsense to each other, and the two of them retreated carefully little by little, slowly evacuating from the metal beetle. They were not very worried about their safety. If they were discovered by beetles, as long as they retreated to the territory of the burrowed spider, there would naturally be a mutant spider mother to protect them. Similarly, they could use the same method when they were discovered by the mutant spider mother, so that they could induce battles between the two sides again, which would kill two birds with one stone.
However, they do not want to be discovered, especially by the bugs. Now that Shuer and Moria have entered and exited the Soul Clan base several times, they rely on invisibility techniques. If they are really discovered, they will suffer endless troubles. It is better to be careful.
With this mentality, the two of them finally retreated silently to the safe area. They could finally breathe a sigh of relief without having to hold hands to prepare to write.
"Hey? Then why don't you let go of my hand? You are indeed a plant-loving person."
"No, I'm just thinking about pruning."
"Wow, what a demon, go away."
Adjusting the involuntary tension, the tense spirits of the two finally slowly sootheed. Moria suddenly changed her tone and asked seriously: "Now you have seen the environment of No. 1 with your own eyes, so give up."
"Well, it's impossible to escape from point 1. There are bugs guarding inside and there is a nest that can drill out endlessly. Even if we join forces with the cave spider, we can't catch point 1. Moreover, even if we capture it, the millions of insect swarms outside will be enough to drown us. The only hope now is the underground base of the No. 2 Soul Clan."
"What are your plans?"
"Ask you a question, Moria, are you afraid of death?"
"Huh?" Lin Jing was stunned. Although he didn't understand why Xiuer asked, he still replied, "It should be a bit scared. I have only lived for many years and have not seen many things. Of course, it is best to not die."
"That's it." Xiuer said thoughtfully, "Then..."
"Would you please wait for me to finish speaking? I wonder if it is a very rude behavior to interrupt a woman's speech?"
"But you are a deer, it should be said that it is the female's speech, oh."
"I dare to provoke the deer family and kick you to death." Lin Jing shook his hooves proudly, "I think intelligent creatures will be afraid of death, but deer can't be safe and sound when they live, especially those who are fighting like us may encounter danger at any time. If you shrink back because of fear of death, you will really let down the ability given to us by fate. Moreover, although you are an annoying guy, you always hide your mind and even regard others as idiots, arbitrary behavior is disgusting, but your ability is still relatively reliable, so do you know what I mean?"
"I don't know at all." Shuer shook his head, "I only know that you took the opportunity to scold me happily."
"Well, it's a great scolding, you idiot." Moria said contemptuously, "What I mean is that I recognize your ability and believe you will handle everything well, so I am willing to give your life to you for the time being. If you want to do anything, try your best. Even if you fail or die, I won't blame you because you have tried your best."
"Huh, I understand." Xiuer said in a normal tone, "Since you think so, I suggest you look back, well, don't be too nervous, just look back."
"I don't." Moria immediately reacted that the situation had changed. Although she refused, she slowly turned around. Behind her was the way for the two of them to come. Not far ahead was the spiders' temporary nest.
At this time, the huge mutant spider mother happened to be lying in the middle of the road, stretching her eight legs around, blocking the way the two left.
No, it is definitely not a coincidence. The mutant spider mother has eight blood-red eyes, staring at the locations of the two people in the invisibility. It is definitely not a coincidence that the target was chosen so accurately.
"We... were discovered?" The hair on Moria Deer's body exploded.
"You can choose yourself, or walk away quietly. During this period, I will restrain its attention, or stay here, let's bet once."
"Ha, I said, I will give you my life for the time being." Lin Jing sneered, "And I think the current situation is the purpose of your trip. Since you have already made a plan, you should just bet with me."
"Don't be surprised." Shuer suddenly canceled the invisibility technique and appeared out of thin air in front of the mutant spider mother.
"Hiss", the vents in the spider mother's body made a sharp inhalation sound, and she stood up suddenly and stared at Shuer who suddenly appeared.
Shuer stood without moving, with a smile on his face, and also looked at the huge mutant spider mother.
