Chapter 1509 Interstellar Rescue Team 57
Wen Jing cautiously observed her surroundings, taking extra careful steps, and replied in a low voice, "It's too simplistic to rely solely on water droplets to distinguish the alien insects' disguises."
Song Jinhuan thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense. This is a test with a difficulty level of five stars."
Wen Jing continued deeper into the forest, and Song Jinhuan's spiritual energy seemed to be released in all directions from him as if it were free.
After walking for a long time, all I could find was the sound of footsteps on branches and leaves.
Song Jinhuan frowned slightly. "Have you noticed anything unusual?"
Wen Jing: "No."
Song Jinhuan sighed, "I don't have any either."
"It's a bit strange. In the previous assessments, the Zerg were mobilized very quickly, but there's no reason why there's not a sound here."
"My mental energy seems to have failed; I can't detect anything."
The girl's sigh came through the earpiece, the lingering sound vibrating in her ear bones, sending shivers down her spine and making her ears burn.
Wen Jing unconsciously swallowed, her image gradually filling the space in her mind, to the point that she became somewhat absent-minded.
Song Jinhuan spoke a long string of words without receiving a response, which seemed a bit strange. She paused for a moment and asked in confusion, "Wen Jing? Wen Jing?"
The man's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he quickly regained his senses. "Hmm?"
"Perhaps we need to go deeper."
Song Jinhuan: "Be careful."
Wen Jing's cheeks were slightly dry, feeling ashamed of her momentary lapse in concentration.
Deep in the jungle, there was no trace of human beings.
With each step Wen Jing took forward, she had to clear away the weeds blocking her path.
Suddenly, Song Jinhuan exclaimed in surprise, "The ground rippled at the three o'clock position!"
Wen Jing glanced in that direction without making a sound, and there was indeed a protrusion that was different from the surrounding ones. The segmented stems, no more than three millimeters in diameter, grew haphazardly on top of it. Because they were sparse, you could see the brownish-yellow soil.
The man deliberately made a noise.
The lump on the ground also moved forward a little.
Song Jinhuan's voice was filled with tension and excitement, "Did you see that?"
Wen Jing nodded.
Song Jinhuan couldn't help but guess: "It probably wants to get close to you while you're moving forward and crawl out from underground."
Wen Jing continued walking forward without changing his expression, making a much bigger commotion than before.
The movement speed of the protrusions also increased visibly.
Until it reached Wen Jing's feet.
Wen Jing was prepared and quickly bent down to stab the dagger down.
A hissing sound followed, and then a strong force pushed Wen Jing's hand, along with the dagger, backward.
He retreated several meters backward following that force.
Two tentacles broke through the ground first, followed by two more tentacles, then four, then six...
Soon, the knee-high alien insect crawled out of the soil completely.
It has a shiny brown-black back, a long and segmented body, and filamentous antennae.
The frontal and back plates are large and shield-shaped.
It has leathery forewings, membranous hindwings that fold in a fan shape, and multi-segmented cerci.
Song Jinhuan gasped, "Isn't this just a giant cockroach?"
The features match perfectly.
The enlarged version of the cockroach has more visible hairs on its antennae, and just looking at it gives you goosebumps.
Wen Jing clicked her tongue lightly, "The surrounding environment is damp, a suitable place for them to live."
It's impossible to solve them by changing the environment.
Wen Jing pulled out a pistol from his waist and took out a small box from his backpack, quickly replacing the bullets.
Song Jinhuan: "These are scent bullets!"
Wen Jing hummed in agreement.
No matter which part of their body is lost, cockroaches and other insects cannot die completely.
Scent bullets are specifically designed to target these types of alien insects.
