Chapter 40 Chapter 40 Do you believe me, teammate?
At first, there was just a slight tremor.
Then, ominous noises were heard from under his feet, above his head, and in all directions.
【The temperature of the space rises.】
【Warning, the temperature in the room is rising rapidly.】
[Suspected unidentified high-temperature organism approaching. 】
On the screen, a yellow exclamation mark flashed. In just one minute, the temperature curve peak soared six or seven times. Even in the cockpit, a heat wave could be felt.
There was a cracking sound from the rock wall. A rustling, a rustling. Something immense and indescribable seemed to be swirling, awakening, and winding its way along the rock wall.
All four of them looked up.
It's right there.
There is something deep in the black hole.
The smell was like chewed vomit.
They stared at the cave entrance intently, and then, suddenly, the cave entrance lit up and emitted flames.
"Be careful, it's Yan..."
Hot magma spurted out from the cave entrance, right towards Tao Ying's position!
She crouched down at the VX-89 and threw out a shield.
The protective shield unfolded in the air.
The shield instantly thinned amidst the vibrations, emitting a crackling sound and emitting white vapor. Within seconds, it was vaporized by the intense heat.
Although Tao Ying took two steps back in time, he still failed to block all the magma, and some of the high-temperature magma penetrated the protective shield.
Shoot towards their position.
"Are you okay?" "I'm fine!"
Hearing his companions' concern, Tao Ying looked up at the hole where the magma was spewing out.
After a moment, Tao Ying chuckled with a playful look in his eyes:
"Here I come."
At the 30-centimeter-wide hole, the head of the "unknown high-temperature organism" was squeezed out, lubricated by mucus.
Its entire head is round, with no eyes, only a black slit in the middle, which is its mouthpart.
The mouthparts opened and closed, twitching, as if searching for prey.
But Tao Ying and the others did not move or make any sound.
The "unknown high-temperature organism" did not find any prey, and shook its head impatiently a few times, then slammed the entrance of the cave open.
Then, like a ferocious carnivorous flower, its mouth suddenly opened! Its six-petaled mouthparts, stacked with sharp teeth, bit through the rock pillar in front of it in one gulp.
It crunched twice and swallowed the gravel.
Then he opened his mouth and a sticky liquid dripped from his teeth.
Someone stepped on a stone, and there was a slight creaking sound.
The "head" instantly caught the sound, shook itself wildly, and wriggled in front of everyone, pulling its body apart.
"Ah———————!" A shrill scream, accompanied by sound waves, hit the eardrum.
Maohe covered his ears, feeling hopeless: "Who woke up the Boss early?! The Magma Giant Worm is very sensitive to sound waves!"
Tao Ying kicked the stone behind him and nodded seriously: "Yes, who is so wicked."
The giant magma worm opened its mouth and let out a sharp scream, then bit towards Tao Ying's mecha.
Tao Ying quickly pulled the joystick to avoid it.
Its head plunged into the ground, piercing through the ground.
Lin Biege sat down on the ground with trembling hands. Something soft brushed against her back, causing her to shudder.
She turned her head slowly and almost jumped up in fright.
The thick links are thicker than the sewage pipes in the city.
The wrinkled skin kept contracting, leaving a thick, yellow mucus where it moved.
Glancing around, they realized that the rock walls were riddled with 30-centimeter holes in every corner. These holes weren't naturally formed; they were pierced by the giant lava worm's long body as it crawled!
Under the layers of holes, its body was slowly wriggling, and its tail could not be seen at all.
Tao Ying said without any emotion in her voice, "Wow, it's so long, like a snake."
"How can you say the name of a puzzle game with such a horrific scene?" The teammate shed lasagna tears.
"Wait, what is that?"
I saw that in the corner, part of the Zerg's body was stuck, and a certain part of its body was bulging unnaturally.
Something seemed to be moving inside.
There were also muffled cries for help.
“Save me, save me!”
The next second, the insect body twisted uncomfortably and slammed that part of its body against the wall. The raised part let out a human-like scream of "Ugh!" and then slowly went limp.
[The remains of the private first class were found. Investigation mission completion rate: 50%.]
That bulge is the person being swallowed!
Nan Gua felt extremely immersed in the situation: "It seems this is the first-class soldier who disappeared before. He's really powerful. He can hold on for so long inside the giant magma worm..."
Cat Core raised his head, cold sweat on his head: "Haha, what luck to meet the insect mother directly."
The mechanics of this dungeon are that as you explore, you'll constantly encounter sentinel bugs. These eyeball-like monsters transmit all the information they gather to the Queen through the Swarm Network.
So the conventional way to fight is: kill the sentinel worms, weaken the worm mother's ability, and then slowly grind against the worm mother who has lost her source of information.
It is equivalent to giving the insect queen a debuff first.
It's hard to beat without weakening.
But it’s not completely impossible to fight.
Cat Core gritted his teeth and said, "If there are only the Queen Worms and no Sentinel Worms, I should be able to get you through with a little effort..."
As soon as Cat Core finished speaking, hundreds of small giant worms and round spherical objects gradually emerged from various holes.
The ball rolled to Tao Ying and the others, opened its eyes, and kept scanning the information of these outsiders.
Tao Ying pointed and said, "Oh, sentinel bugs, and larvae. Is it the hatching period now? Oh, the nest guard bugs are here too. Tsk tsk, so fierce."
“…”
Sentinel bugs! Larvae! Nest-guarding bugs chasing after the larvae!
There are even some regular worker insects joining in the fun, so now we have everything! Yay!
The enemy has launched a trump card!
Cat core lasagna tears.
"How did we choose these coordinates?"
Wait, who chose the coordinates just now?
Tao Ying nodded. "Yeah, what bad luck! How did we end up at the coordinates on the Worm Queen's head? Oh, Bigger, Pumpkin, stop dancing and chop the lava worm first."
"I'm not dancing! I'm dodging the oversized eyeballs at my feet. I'm scared aa ...
"You just saw the Hand of Faith and thought it was an oyster mushroom. So, can't you think the eyeball is a glutinous rice ball? So, aren't you less scared now?"
Lin Biege clenched his fist: "Apologize to Ma Tuan!!!"
The scene was a complete mess.
There was no other way. This new team could only rely on her. Cat Core tried to stabilize the core and take on the responsibility of the team: "I will lead you!"
Tao Ying kindly reminded: "This is a mutant insect mother. Cat Core, be careful——"
She was halfway through her reminder when fiery magma spewed out of the lava body's mouth, directly burning three of Kirisame E-0089's six wings.
The cat core continued to move, but its movements slowed down, and its joints made strange crackling sounds.
Lin Biege: "Why does Teacher Cat keep ringing?"
Tao Ying: "Look at the thermometer."
"Oh my god, 400 degrees!"
"The wings of the Kirisame E-0089 are responsible for dissipating heat. Losing that heat in such a high-temperature environment would be fatal to the mecha's performance."
"What should I do then?"
"Let's lure the insect queen away first. Its body temperature is very high. Let's go to the lower level." Tao Ying squatted down and knocked on the hole next to him.
"It's even hotter down there! No, I'm going to get rid of it now."
So, what's that saying? Eat the head!
Lin Biege mustered her courage and drew her lightsaber, which Tao Ying had given her before. It was a very light sword, very easy to chop with. She jumped behind the magma worm's head, lunged and chopped it off.
Lin Biege raised the motionless, seemingly dead giant worm's head with both hands and said excitedly, "I chopped it off!"
Tao Ying: "Hmm... Just a reminder, this Zerg has a strong regenerative ability."
Lin Biege instinctively sensed something was wrong: "?"
Tao Ying added: "If you cut it in the middle, it will become two."
The next second, a head quickly grew out of the broken point of the earthworm, its mouthparts opened, and it made a sharp cry towards them.
And the short one among Linbie singers is also.
Bug: "Ah ...
Lin Biege: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
The mouthparts came right at her face, and she flung the insect into the air.
Tao Ying helplessly took out two thermal knives, held them in his backhand, and blocked them in front of him.
The moment the Zerg landed—
The thermal blades nailed its head and tail at the same time, and Tao Ying exerted more force and crushed its head.
This time it finally stopped moving.
Tao Ying exerted too much force, coughed twice, and retracted the knife.
"Well, we need to kill both heads at the same time. Or we need to chop off one head before it finishes regenerating."
"Yes, Teacher S is right." Cat Core's mecha hid in the corner and said weakly.
I almost forgot, there is another person here.
Tao Ying slapped his head and said, "Cat Core, your machine is overheating. Don't move here until it cools down. Let's lure the giant lava creep down first. If you make any noise later, put your hands on your head and hide in a corner." Tao Ying pointed, "That's a good place."
Mao He wanted to ask more questions, but Tao Ying had already jumped to the next level.
All the monsters jumped down, and the insect queen turned around and rushed down as well.
Cat Core killed the only remaining monster in this space, slowly moved to the corner, and hugged his knees.
"To think I'm ninth on the ladder, and now I'm sitting here, weak and helpless, waiting for my health to recover, leaving a few newcomers to kill the Zerg Queen with all the positive buffs. It's shameful, so shameful."
Mao He sobbed softly and shook his head in pain.
…
Tao Ying has been going downstairs ever since she came down, as if she was playing a game where anyone who is a woman goes down a hundred floors.
The sound of the insect mother's mouthparts biting stones could be heard above my head, which made my teeth ache.
Having a group of sentinel insects following around really affects my performance, and the larvae chirping all the time is also very annoying.
They cleaned up the nest guards for a while and were covered in disgusting mucus.
Lin Biege wanted to chop off the sentinel bug that was bouncing around like a ball behind him, but was stopped by Tao Ying.
"Cutting off the sentinel worms can weaken the worm queen's vision. Why stop me?" Lin Biege felt that his judgment was very correct.
Tao Ying nodded: "Providing the enemy with appropriate information is also the key to combat."
"Speak human language."
"I'm going to use the sentinel bugs to lure the bug queen down."
But it was really tiring to keep walking down. Tao Ying suddenly raised his right hand, took out a pulse burning short cannon from his backpack, and fired it at the ground.
It blasted through about ten floors.
The level they had just passed was still illuminated by burning crystals, but it became darker the further down they went.
Below the tenth floor, they were completely invisible to the naked eye.
"The Worm Queen has lived in a dark place for a long time, and her eyes have degenerated, making her more sensitive to sound and movement. Wouldn't it be better to fight from above?"
Lin Biege said.
"Are you sure you want to continue down? To where there's no light?"
Nan Gua rubbed his arms and said, "Xiaoying, it's so dark down there. I'm a little scared."
"With me here, what are you afraid of?"
Tao Ying stood in the middle of the hole that had been blasted through, jumped directly down, and then gracefully stretched out her hand towards the upper level.
"Trust me, mate?"
