Chapter 312 Strange Insects

In fact, Chen Ziyan's original attitude towards Huo's Undead Worm, which was restricted by the environment, was somewhat casual.

If there is a chance to solve it, kill it, but if there is no suitable opportunity, just put it aside.

Anyway, it is impossible for this ancient remnant creature to leave its habitat, and it will not cause any danger to the outside world, so it can be left to the management authority to deal with.

Maybe it can make some contributions to biology, archaeology, etc. After all, there is no need to worry about wasting this thing when it is sliced.

But the problem is, just after he reminded Hu Bayi, the system released the task again.

【Ding!Choose trigger! 】

[Option [-]: Clean up all abnormal creatures in the gourd cave.Reward: Throwing Technique]

[Option [-]: Clean up the babies in the gourd cave.Reward: Throwing Technique—Insect Control Chapter]

[Option [-]: Clean up the Huo's undead worms in the gourd cave.Reward: Dragon Scale Demon Armor (Adaptation Model)]

Regarding the three choices given this time, Chen Ziyan made his choice without even thinking about it.

Although he was very interested in the reward of the first choice, he knew very well in his heart that only the third one had the possibility of success.

Whether it is the first option or the second option, there is one thing in common, that is, to clean up all the babies in the calabash cave.

And if there is still a chance to solve Huo's Undead Worm, cleaning up the baby is simply wishful thinking, at least Chen Ziyan himself thinks so.

It's not difficult to deal with baby babies, not to mention one or two, even if there are ten or eight of them, it's not a problem for Chen Ziyan.

But as long as these things appear, there will never be just such a few, at least there must be dozens of them together, and the most important thing is that there will be a steady stream of follow-ups. Anyone who encounters this will feel trembling, okay?

Even Chen Ziyan, who was very confident in himself, could only say that he could escape from the crowd of infants, not that he could fight back.

This is not self-effacing, but that he really doesn't have such self-confidence.

But Chen Ziyan felt that if it was Zhang Qiling, maybe he could really not take these babies seriously.

No way, this guy's bloodline ability is quite special, and the essence of the baby is an alternative use of bugs, which is just within his restraint range.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan suddenly thought of his domain device, and almost forgot about his treasure.

With the domain device in hand, relying on its ability to disperse snakes, insects, rats and ants, even if they can't make meritorious deeds this trip, there will never be any accidents.

I just don't know if Huo's undead insects, which can also be classified as insects, can also be suppressed by the domain device.

If he could do this, he could completely change his strategy against Huo's Undead Worm and enter a simpler mode.

Just as Chen Ziyan was thinking about this, Wang Kaixuan who was next to him suddenly touched him.

After he looked back, he heard the fat man say: "Master Chen, those who come are not kind, and those who are kind don't come, we must act first!"

While saying this, his gaze never left the more and more corpses that surfaced.

Obviously, what he was talking about was dead drift.

Hu Bayi stood aside with him this time, and also said: "When these female corpses get close to us, we will do it. I think these things are either rice dumplings or ghosts. Try the black donkey's hoof first, and if it doesn't work, use the ones stained with cinnabar." Nuomi is here to say hello."

No one else had the slightest objection to Hu Bayi's plan.

Now their most popular methods in this regard are black donkey hooves and glutinous rice.

Even Chen Ziyan didn't say anything, even though he knew what these things were, he wanted to try these two things to see if they would work.

It would be a good thing for them if this can be done.

But what they didn't expect was that when everyone was waiting in full force, the corpse closest to them suddenly turned over and re-entered the water when it was about to enter the one-meter range of the boat.

In the blink of an eye, all the surrounding corpses had disappeared into the water, as if those corpses had never appeared before.

Seeing this, several people looked at each other in blank dismay, all a little confused.

Wang Kaixuan couldn't help looking at Chen Ziyan: "Master Chen, what's going on?"

He felt that even a life-and-death battle between the two sides was better than disappearing silently like this.

Hu Bayi stared at the deep water, turned his head and said, "Why did the faint blue light on those corpses just now look like phosphorescent ghost lights?"

He is also a little confused now, and he can't figure out how there is such a thing as a will-o'-the-wisp in the water.

Wang Kaixuan seemed to have thought of something, and said, "Old Hu, do you think those are water ghosts, just like the one we met that year?"

Speaking of Wang Kaixuan, who has always been daring, a trace of fear subconsciously flashed across.

When Hu Bayi was reminded by him, he also showed the same expression, and couldn't help frowning.

There is no way, the impression that that incident left on them was too deep.

Seeing the curious eyes of the people around him, he simply told the old story.

After finishing speaking, Hu Bayi said with a little emotion: "At that time, no one dared to believe that there were ghosts in this world. Even if someone believed, no one dared to say it. In the end, the matter can only be attributed to chance and coincidence."

After he finished speaking, Chen Ziyan put forward a different opinion: "According to what you said, this is not a matter of being entangled in aquatic plants, but just like what you said, there were some things that could not be said at the time, but this This kind of thing is better to be trusted than to be careless.”

He also knew that those corpses just now were not water ghosts, but when it comes to the degree of danger, they are not inferior at all, so he must remind them.

Hearing what Chen Ziyan said, Hu Bayi nodded solemnly: "That's right, there are some things that really need to be investigated carefully, and no one can explain why, so we can only be more careful."

In fact, there is one thing he didn't say, that is, after seeing the human bones hooked to the feet of the corpse with his own eyes, he had his own guess about the truth of that matter.

After all, there is no such thing as a coincidence in this world.

After experiencing such an incident, although everyone still looks the same as before, they have secretly raised their vigilance to the highest level.

Although the corpses just now had disappeared, they all knew that those corpses were deep in the water below them, and they were likely to appear again, so they had to be vigilant.

This can be seen from the acceleration of the stroke speed.

Following the slowly flowing stream, they quickly passed through this section of the fossil forest and came to a semicircular hole.

The hole has a limited diameter and can only accommodate one person at most.

Through the illumination of the light, it can be seen that the other side is another hole, not a passage.

Wang Kaixuan looked at it with his head, and complained a little: "Why is there a hole here?"

Shirley Yang said: "Judging from the trend of the mountains from the Canglan River to the Nujiang River, the actual depth of the entire Insect Valley should not exceed forty miles. We have to walk two-thirds of the way here, and the rest of the road should be It won't be too far."

She wanted to tell Wang Kaixuan that it was not far behind.

Chen Ziyan ignored their words, but observed the situation on the other side with a searchlight.

It can be seen through the light that the other side's mountain wall is very smooth, and the light will flash red light when scattered on it, and the overall appearance is in the shape of a trumpet.

However, there is one thing that cannot be ignored, that is, the environment inside is no longer suitable for ships to pass, and it is best for them to move forward on foot.

Even if you have to rely on ships, you can only travel a short distance at most.

Because there are more plant roots hanging down inside, and dense plant fossils, it can be said that the space is compressed very much.

"Put the boat away." After thinking for a while, Chen Ziyan expressed his thoughts.

The others also saw the situation on the other side, until it was most appropriate to deal with it according to Chen Ziyan's method.

Leaving aside everything else, their ships couldn't pass through the narrow opening in front of them alone.

This means that their boats can deflate, otherwise they can only be abandoned here.

After finishing this matter, Chen Ziyan and the others passed through the cave one by one and came to the cave on the other side.

After walking not far, they clearly felt the gap between the two sides. Compared with the cave they just passed, the air here is far less smooth, not to mention humid and hot, and there is also a very strong smell, which makes people feel breathless. are hindered.

After Chen Ziyan realized this, he immediately asked everyone to put on the protective clothing again.

Although it shouldn't kill people as easily as the poisonous miasma outside, if you stay here for too long, there may be problems, so it's better to be careful.

As they continued to go deeper, Chen Ziyan and the others discovered that there were several lush plant belts in the cave.

This also led to a huge number of mosquitoes in this mountain area. If they hadn't been prepared, the process of passing here must have been miserable.

After continuing for hundreds of meters like this, the speed of the team had to slow down, because the area of ​​the land in front was extremely compressed, and except for some fossil trees exposed on the water, all the sights were whirlpools and turbulent currents.

And with the expansion of the space, you can no longer see the boundary at a glance when you get here, so you can't just walk forward in the next road, and you need to make a certain judgment.

"This... let's take a boat next." Wang Kaixuan glanced at the nearest fossil tree and felt that it would not be too troublesome to re-inflate.

"Inflate it." What else could Chen Ziyan say.

If he just looked at the road ahead of them, his judgment was not wrong at all, but who knew there was such a move waiting here.

Fortunately, they carried enough equipment, and the hand-cranked air pump quickly got the hovercraft back up again.

On the contrary, their voyage this time was not much faster than walking on land, and maybe even slower.

After returning to the surface of the water, they discovered how troublesome those turbulent currents and eddies are. As long as they don't pay attention for a while, they will be swept away to other directions.

And just when everyone was a little annoyed, the humming of insects vibrating their wings sounded from a distance.

The first time they heard this voice, everyone took up their weapons.

Insects are not very scary as long as they are not poisonous, but that refers to the situation where the number is small, and once the number of insects reaches a certain scale, even if they are not poisonous, they are extremely scary.

And judging from the buzzing sound that can be transmitted far away, the number of insect swarms that are about to appear will definitely not be low.

The fact is exactly the same, and soon countless black flying insects flew from the front. The size of these flying insects can be compared to dragonflies, and it seemed like a black cloud passing through for a while.

Fortunately, the targets of these flying insects were the upside-down plant roots, and they had no interest in Chen Ziyan, which made everyone heave a sigh of relief.

Even with guns in hand, they don't want to face this kind of thing, knowing that sometimes the number is terrifying.

After passing under the swarm of flying insects, Chen Ziyan asked Xue Liyang in a low voice: "Can you see what kind of insect this is?"

Although there are many creatures in such a place that are unknown to the outside world, he still has to ask.

Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy wins every battle, even if these flying insects did not attack them, it is still no problem to understand.

Xue Liyang thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "This seems to be a kind of black midge larvae that can only be found in hot humid areas, but as far as I know, even if this insect is an adult, it only has a fingernail cover. size, but those just now were almost the size of a dragonfly..."

She stopped abruptly before she finished speaking, and the reason why she stopped was that a water spider crawled not far in front of the hovercraft.

Commonly seen water spiders are very small in size, but this one is as big as a fist, which is simply unbelievable.

But before the horrified people thought about it, they saw several giant water spiders swimming past and climbing up an ancient tree fossil next to it.

When the water spiders left, Wang Kaixuan couldn't help asking: "I'm so good, why are the bugs here so big?"

He felt that everything he saw was a bit dreamy, not so real.

Seeing this, Chen Ziyan gave a hint from the side: "I don't know if you have noticed it, but the cave we passed by is not only unusually smooth, but also has obvious arcs in the narrow places."

"The smooth stone wall...curved... seems to be still red..." At this point, Hu Bayi suddenly opened his eyes wide, and said in disbelief: "Why is this so similar to the one we saw in the mountain temple? Gourd? Could it be that we are inside the gourd?"

Shirley Yang also followed his train of thought and said, "If this is the case, aren't we slowly shrinking now?"

Although the two of them knew that what they said was unbelievable, they couldn't find any other explanation for the current situation.

Many of the features here are the same as those of the gourd outside, so it's hard not to let people think about that.

And Shirley Yang thought about it according to this idea, and then contacted the bug she saw just now, and it was normal to suspect that she was waiting for someone to watch her!

It can only be said that when there are too many things beyond common sense, and when encountering things that are difficult to explain, people will subconsciously think in this direction.

Because of this, many incomprehensible things will get a reasonable explanation.
