Chapter 106 is called the Hell Dungeon.
The White Priest's surprise stemmed from the fact that no human dared to venture into the Mother Nest.
Then it became somewhat angry.
These humans are far too arrogant!
Without a sound, it had already given the order: the yellow-robed priest was to guard the middle tunnel leading to the coal mining area and keep an eye on the strange human girl.
"Captain" led the worker insects to block the shallow alleyways, contaminating all the humans who intruded!
Aside from anger, the White Priest also felt a sense of anticipation.
It looks forward to those few humans who dare to break into the mother nest, who must be very strong and mentally resilient, becoming its powerful new brothers and sisters!
There was a commotion throughout the mine.
There weren't many Fallen Insects guarding the shallow mine tunnels, and the team advanced quickly, reaching the end of the tunnel.
The second wave of guards, mobilized upon receiving the order, surged forward. A sergeant major led the charge, leaping forward, followed by an apprentice priest, who, like the lead singer of a choir, led the screams of all the fallen insects into a melody that echoed through the alleyways!
Everyone in the team bit their tongues, but the little red pills they had taken when they went down the well were working, and Lin Jiaran was maintaining a remote resonance with the three of them at the same time!
Chen Xi moved like a shadow, severing the sergeant's thick tentacle with a single slash while simultaneously smashing its left eye with a pistol!
The sergeant instinctively reached out with several tentacles to hug the injured head, roaring in pain, while the other tentacles continued their original trajectory to capture Chen Xi!
But Chen Xi had already sheathed his sword. He leaped up and hooked onto the ventilation duct at the top of the alley. He fired another shot from above, accurately piercing through the gaps between the tentacles and striking the center of the skull, where the cystic tissue, protected by countless scale-like bone plates, was located!
When the sergeant fell, the chorus of the fallen insects was momentarily interrupted in a panic, but it immediately resumed!
At the apprentice priest's signal, the two "captains" turned to Chen Xi, while Chen Xi himself continued to lead the singing, outputting pollution.
Chen Xi retreated back to where the three members of his team were.
Qin Tianshuo and Zhao Bohan used a single grenade to repel the Fallen Insect guards surging from the side alley, while another used a light sniper rifle to kill a captain with three shots.
Smoke, blood, and song filled the dark alleyway. Many mutated plants curled their leaves and swayed their flowers, whether out of fear or revelry, it was hard to tell!
The other captain rushed to the front of the squad, but was slowed down by Lin Jiaran's sweeping fire and then killed by Zhao Bohan!
Although the densely packed, endless hordes of Fallen Insect Guardians, led by the Apprentice Priest, were already pressing in from within 10 meters, Chen Xi had already hoisted his single-soldier rocket launcher, and a poison gas grenade was fully loaded!
This is the decisive weapon against the fallen insects, and the source of their confidence to go down into the well!
But before Chen Xi could ignite the cannon and the shell could be fired, a red shadow appeared like a ghost.
The tentacles are deep red with a gradient color, and the ends are flat like a thin willow leaf knife.
The thin knife made only a soft "ding" when it collided with the cannon barrel, but it cut the barrel and the cannonball in two. It almost severed the shoulder and neck of the man carrying the cannon!
This moment was almost the most dangerous situation Chen Xi had encountered since joining the military and carrying out missions, without exception!
He deeply understood the difficulty of conducting high-level combat without the assistance of Qi An's sensory abilities!
But Chen Xi's amazing combat instincts and maxed-out physical enhancements saved him at this moment.
He released the rocket launcher, bent backward, and let the tentacle blade fly over his head!
Without pausing, the red-clad worm's form extended further, its tentacles reaching down before striking again in the opposite direction!
Chen Xi had already twisted his body and retreated rapidly, but he was still slashed deeply!
The fear in the hearts of the four people reached its maximum at this moment!
The danger and difficulty of this battle far exceeded Lin Jiaran's expectations. In her panic, she almost lost her ability to maintain her connection with the three of them!
But if she collapses, all four of them will collapse immediately, and they will only become part of this disgusting legion of fallen insects!
This is so humiliating! It's not worth it at all!
Lin Jiaran tried his best to remain calm, using all the methods he had been trained in over the past 17 years to stabilize his emotions, and also tried his best to strip away the fear and despair of the other three, and strengthen their confidence and fighting spirit!
Once his emotions calmed down, Chen Xi disappeared from the spot.
It means that the entire person completely disappears from the senses of both humans and the fallen insects in this place.
The red "captain," shaped like an upside-down Lycoris radiata flower, paused for a moment, hesitating whether to go find Chen Xi or take the opportunity to kill the purifier.
In that moment of hesitation, Chen Xi had already appeared below it.
The captain was hanging from a rusty pipe on the side of the alley, with layers of tentacles, like flower plates or skirts, spreading out in mid-air.
Each of its tentacles has an independent neuron and an independent eye. When Chen Xi was discovered again, all the tentacles instinctively opened for a moment out of surprise and a sense of danger!
The moment it opened, Chen Xi fired two shots at the center of its "flower stamen"!
The Fallen Worm can excrete through its skin, so Chen Xi didn't actually shoot the Fallen Worm in the "chrysanthemum." Instead, he used a large-caliber bullet from the special pistol that Chen Yuezhou often used to blow off the captain's inner ring of blade tentacles from the root!
Green blood gushed down, and the captain screamed as he fell. Chen Xi retreated once more, dodging the slashes of several tentacles.
At this moment, Zhao Bohan fired a bomb, which hit the lower part of the captain's torso, which was like an inflated flower bud, severing several of his tentacles again.
The captain's attack immediately created an opening, and Chen Xi drew his sword backhand, dodged and advanced again, this time severing the captain's head with a single strike!
The pollution caused the singing to be interrupted for a moment, but the apprentice priest rushed over and tried to save him before Chen Xi could draw his sword to behead him!
Qin Tianshuo wasn't idle either; he yelled and fired a grenade, blasting it into a bloody mess!
Chen Xi was also affected by the explosion; if it weren't for the powerful noise-canceling headphones, everyone's eardrums would probably be destroyed by now!
But none of this was fatal for Chen Xi. He shot the apprentice priest to death, retreated again, and together with Qin Tianshuo and Zhao Bohan, they sprayed and bombarded, blasting a bloody path through the enemy lines!
Chen Xi sprinted away, with the remaining three following closely behind. They broke through the shallow alleyway and turned into the middle alleyway!
But there's a fork in the road!
Several forks in the road!
This is also marked on the structural diagram, but at least three of them lead to different sides of the deep coal mining area!
Which way should we go?
Should they retreat and crawl back to the ground, given that all four of them are currently at an average level 3 of mutation?
The insects in the shallow alleyways are almost all dead; this may be the last chance to retreat!
But Qin Tianshuo suddenly shouted, "There's a signal! On this road at 3 o'clock!"
It is absolutely certain that the Bluetooth frequency band of the wristband is transmitting radio waves at maximum power, just like making a call!
At the end of that side alley, Qi An, who was tightly bound to the control room, had his back pressed against the iron door. He had stuffed the wristband into the gap of the iron door and turned on the search device at maximum power!
The four-person team ran wildly towards Qi'an.
Qi An then looked at his reflection in the water on the ground and underwent a transformation.
