Chapter 194 Desert Worm

Li Huiyin can chat with anyone, except those who pick a fight at the beginning or those who target her friends. She won't even give them a glance.

Since arriving at the base, Xie Qun has been treating everyone to delicious food and drinks, and all he has brought out are the best things.

A group of people were chatting animatedly when Lu Nian, who was leaning on Xu Zhiyang's shoulder, suddenly sat up straight and asked in a low voice, "Xiaoyang, are the mutant animals here so smart?"

Xu Zhiyang held his chin in his hand and said lazily, "Yes, Kunlun Mountain is the destination. Water energy is hidden under Kunlun Mountain. Where there is water, energy can penetrate everywhere."

"These animals, zombies, have intelligence. My brother told me that some of the more powerful ones have the intelligence of an adult."

Lu Nian asked curiously, "So they will choose to attack the base with the weakest defense first?"

"Yes, a base with a large population has poor defense. It's not as good as here. The base we are in now is far away from densely populated areas, so it is safer."

Xu Zhiyang rubbed Lu Nian's head. "But don't worry, my brother gave the other crystal cores to Brother Ji for safekeeping. If anything unexpected happens..."

Lu Nian understood something: "You want to absorb the energy of the crystal core?"

Xu Zhiyang smiled: "Yeah."

The sky had turned completely dark. Xu Zhiyang was in no mood. His eyes were fixed on the flames, but his mind was tense, sensing all the energy fluctuations around him.

Suddenly, Xu Zhiyang stood up, shocking everyone and making them all stunned.

"There's something, not a very strong earth energy."

Xu Zhiyang looked in another direction, "Maybe it's too far away, but to be on the safe side, I have to go over and take a look."

Xie Qun followed Xu Zhiyang's line of sight and moved to the diagonal rear of the base.

Suddenly I remembered that the stone fell a few days ago. Although it was replaced, it was not fastened tightly. If there is an external force from a large mutant animal, the stone may fall off.

Xie Qun said in a horrified tone: "I remember that a few days ago something knocked off a small rock. We replaced it, but the rock wasn't stuck tightly and it fell off easily."

Li Huiyin frowned: "You only remembered such an important thing now?!"

"Let's go and take a look." Ji Chen and Xu Zhiyang looked at each other.

Xu Zhiyang nodded, took out his own high-speed fan and strode towards the source of the sound.

Qian Yi and others stayed at the gate to continue guarding. Although the number of people Han Zhiche took away was not large, they were powerful.

Only two special forces carrying heavy weapons were left in the base here, as well as the ultra-fast freezing gun developed by Han Zhiche and his team.

I heard that an adult tiger can be frozen into an ice sculpture within three seconds, and the ice sculpture contains a crystal modified by Xu Zhiyang.

The crystal stone is injected with ice energy, the same as water, and installed in the gun. Some are small, as big as a pistol, while others are larger, similar to a submachine gun.

Ji Chen picked up a freezing gun and followed Xu Zhiyang with Li Huiyin and Lu Nian.

When they reached the corner of the base, a white light flashed from Xu Zhiyang's palm, illuminating the area.

The wall in front of us is more than ten stories high. It is made of hard stones of various sizes, as well as mud and straw. It is almost two meters thick. Such a protective wall is very strong.

"It seems that when this place was first built, there wasn't enough stuff, and someone cut corners and just stuffed the stones in without adding anything else to hold them together."

Ji Chen pushed the large rock that was only at the height of his chest with his palm, and at first the rock didn't move at all.

Until Ji Chen used all his strength, the stone was pushed forward bit by bit, and a lot of gravel fell from the gap.

Xu Zhiyang squatted down and picked up a piece of gravel as big as his palm. "Brother Ji Chen, there are scratches on this stone."

"This means that there was something outside that specifically found the weakest part of the city wall to destroy it." Ji Chen frowned.

"The mutant animals here are so smart. They can find the most inconspicuous place on such a long wall."

Li Huiyin said, "I don't know what's going on. I'm so panicked. Ji Chen, are you sure? Will those things go to other bases tonight?"

"Confirmed." Ji Chen said, "We have contacted other major bases, and they have sent people out to check."

"It's better during the day. Most of the mutant animals retreat ten kilometers away to rest. Once the sun sets, they will regain their spirits and attack again."

There are already few animals here, and the mutated animals will eat animals smaller than themselves. After eating the animals, they naturally target humans.

In addition, with the arrival of spring, carnivores that had been hibernating are waking up one by one.

Lu Nian was extremely worried, "Brother Mu and the others..."

"It's okay, don't worry." Xu Zhiyang patted his shoulder.

"All the Five Elements ability users have gone, nothing will happen."

Xu Zhiyang added, "I'll get some more stones and soil to seal this place off."

Ji Chen: "That's fine."

Xu Zhiyang was about to take action when, in the blink of an eye, earth energy fluctuations suddenly appeared outside the wall in front of him. "Stand back! There's something!"

Before he could finish his words, all the stones on the wall in front of him suddenly shattered!

Stones fell down with a patter, and several people reacted very quickly, immediately retreating five meters away.

Xu Zhiyang turned on the high-speed fan, and the next second, a huge insect slowly poked its head in from the hole in the city wall.

The moment she saw the bug, Li Huiyin felt so disgusted that she almost vomited.

The worm in front of him was as thick as a wellhead, red all over, like a cow intestine, with a blood-red tumor on its head and strange horns sticking out from the middle.

Ji Chen suddenly said, "This thing looks like a death worm, which only exists in the desert. Before the end of the world, this kind of thing was just a legend. I didn't expect it to really exist!"

"Be careful! I remember reading that this worm can spray deadly corrosive venom and release electric current!"

Xu Zhiyang frowned in disdain: "It's so powerful, but I only feel earth energy."

As they were talking, they saw the worm wriggling its way inside.

The fan in Xu Zhiyang's hand suddenly turned red, and the flame wrapped around the fan like a fire dragon, and the fire energy suddenly surged.

Li Huiyin and the other two retreated again.

The next second, a beam of fire shot up into the sky and rushed towards the insects with a whistling wind!

Xu Zhiyang stared at the thing in front of him, but saw that it actually opened the end, like a hole, and swallowed the fire.

However, the pillar of fire was not completely swallowed. The insect was burned by the fire and twisted its body in pain. It opened its mouth again, and the black liquid with an earthy smell mixed with the pillar of fire was returned.

Xu Zhiyang didn't expect that this thing could fight back like this. He pointed his other hand in another direction and directly circulated the earth energy.

In the blink of an eye, a thick earth wall formed to block in front of him!

The liquid, along with the fire, stuck to the moist earthen wall, drying the soil instantly. The earthen wall was corroded by the liquid, making a crackling sound and emitting a foul smell.

"Damn, so powerful!" Xu Zhiyang's fan suddenly stirred up the wind, sending the mixture of earth, fire, and corrosive liquid back!

This insect was not stupid and retreated after being burned by the fire.

Xu Zhiyang jumped out of the big hole in the wall directly, gathering wind energy. At the same time, he also saw clearly that the insect was almost thirty or forty meters long!

Ji Chen chased out and shouted, "Use the wind! Crush it into pieces!"

Xu Zhiyang responded, and a tornado with a diameter of dozens of meters rose from the ground. He controlled it and chased after it.

The worm seemed to sense the deadly danger and burrowed into the soil frantically, but it was too late. The tornado roared past and rolled up the worm.

The high-speed whirling wind was like an invisible blade, quickly tearing the entire insect apart and shredding it...
