Soon, almost all the scarabs were covered with chaos bugs. The scarabs were as big as fists, which was considered big for beetles, while chaos bugs were the size of nymphs or midges, only the size of a needle tip. Therefore, there were at least hundreds of chaos bugs stuck on the surface of a scarab. These flying scarabs lost their balance and flew around like damaged fighter planes in World War II. Some of them even crashed into the rocks next to them, becoming dizzy and unable to get up.
It turns out that the scarab is the best prey for Chaos Worms to reproduce. After Chaos Worms capture the scarab, they will lay eggs in its body and secrete some kind of paralyzing toxin that makes it completely unable to move and enter a state similar to hibernation.
In this way, after the Chaos Worm larvae hatch, they can eat the freshest prey. At the same time, the dark aura in the scarab's body can provide additional nutrients to the Chaos Worm larvae, making them grow faster and have a higher hatching rate.
Therefore, in this basin, Chaos Worms have many hunting and breeding targets, such as the Dark Worms deep underground, etc., but their favorite prey is still the Scarab. It's just that the Scarab has a symbiotic relationship with the Giant Mummy, and Chaos Worms can't break through the belly of the Giant Mummy to catch the Scarab, so they can only sigh in despair. This is why the Giant Mummy seems a little afraid of the Chaos Worm's nest and is unwilling to approach it.
At this time, the giant mummy was forced into a corner by Du Yuqi and used the Scarab Breathing Technique. For the chaotic insect swarms here, it was like a carnival, and they all rushed out to hunt scarabs for eggs.
The giant mummy originally thought that Du Yuqi was already at the end of his strength and was seriously injured and dying, so he planned to use the speed of the scarab beetle swarm to kill him instantly. However, Du Yuqi was not a pitiful person who would just sit there and wait for death, so under the attack of a group of hungry and ferocious chaos insects, it was actually the scarab beetle swarm that was killed in the end...
After witnessing this series of changes, Du Yuqi decisively turned back to chase the giant mummy. At this time, he found that the giant mummy's broken right foot had begun to grow again, allowing it to barely support itself and walk upright. However, the layers of bandages on its right foot did not regenerate, which meant that the giant mummy's right foot was still its weakness - and a very fatal weakness!
At this time, the giant mummy's movement speed and turning speed were greatly weakened, so it was difficult to cause real damage to Du Yuqi despite its crazy attacks. It wanted to use its trump card again: scarab beetle spit, but a large number of chaos insects were already spreading around like clouds, waiting intently for the giant mummy to spit out new food!
After seeing this scene, Du Yuqi suddenly had an idea, and began to concentrate on attacking the right ventral side of the giant mummy. At this time, the giant mummy was quite inflexible in turning around, so Du Yuqi's attack was very convenient. As a result, after the third attack, the special effect of the Rift Soul Blade was finally triggered. A shrill light flashed, and with a swish, a half-meter-long cut was cut on the ventral side of the giant mummy!
For a human being, such an injury would be a serious blow that would make the intestines flow out, but for an undead creature like a mummy, it was really an insignificant injury. However, at this time, Du Yuqi showed a sneer of success at the corner of his mouth, put away his sword, and quickly retreated to the rear.
Why did he retreat? Because he saw the Chaos Worms flying around like a red cloud, and then rushed towards the giant mummy's wound! ! Yes, Du Yuqi's sword cut open the giant mummy's bandages, and also completely exposed the breath of the symbiotic scarab inside it, and at the same time, it also allowed the Chaos Worms to enter through a channel. Therefore, these Chaos Worms were already in a completely frenzy at this time, and rushed into the giant mummy's wound regardless of everything! !
At this time, Du Yuqi felt that the giant mummy should not have the time to bother him again - although this guy was an undead who didn't care much about his body, and was still a very large undead, but there were thousands of insects drilling into his belly at once, and these insects were also laying eggs and reproducing inside, which must have been a very bad feeling.
In fact, the giant mummy was already panicking and madly slapping the chaos worms around it. However, this behavior was useless. On the contrary, its resistance attracted more chaos worms. These fanatical and terrifying creatures were already rushing into the giant mummy's mouth and eye sockets. The giant mummy had no effective means of protection against all this and had rolled to the ground and began to struggle.
However, Du Yuqi still admired the vitality of the giant mummy. He sat beside it from a distance, smoked a cigarette, drank a few sips of water, bandaged the wound and returned. He found that this guy was still alive and still struggling, but there was a layer of thick red mist around his body. A closer look revealed that the mist was composed of an astonishing number of chaos insects.
Du Yuqi was not in a hurry at this moment. He had roughly calculated the combat power of the giant mummy. He still had a chance of winning if he tried his best to fight it head-on. However, that was after all his cards were revealed. In this sealed place full of dangers, doing so would of course be tantamount to suicide.
So, even with the help of the geographical advantage of the Chaos Worm Nest, Du Yuqi felt that if he wanted to knock down a giant mummy, the new special effect of the Bones of Hess: Grasp of Darkness was indispensable. This was the only skill that could make it lose balance and fall.
Secondly, the secret sword that Du Yuqi comprehended, I Slash·Dimensional Rift is also indispensable. If this move can be used in conjunction with a grabbing skill such as Dark Grasp, it can even produce miraculous effects.
Du Yuqi cannot use these two skills whenever he wants. Grasp of Darkness requires the Mind Blade to be inserted into the scabbard and charge for an hour before it can be used, while I Slash: Dimensional Rift is also extremely exhausting for Du Yuqi, so he needs to rest for at least an hour.
Therefore, Du Yuqi has made up his mind that he will never go out to challenge the giant mummy again before these two skills can be used. Therefore, he has plenty of time now. He even found a flat stone to lie down and take a nap to recharge his energy.
By the time Du Yuqi woke up from his nap, a full hour and a half had passed. When he looked at the giant mummy again, he found that only a few rotten bones were left, and several rolls of moldy bandages with strange spells shining on them. A large number of chaos insects were still floating there.
At this time, Du Yuqi's brows suddenly knitted! Because he suddenly realized something, that is, a red fog had appeared around his body without him noticing, and he was surrounded by a high density of chaos bugs. Even if the faint light of Valangir on his finger still existed, it was useless.
Faced with such a weird situation, Du Yuqi was a little frightened, fearing that the chaotic insect swarm in front of him had completely lost control and was stimulated to go crazy, rushing up to use him as an egg-laying device. Fortunately, at this moment, an intermittent divine thought suddenly flooded into his mind. After careful identification, he found that this divine thought was actually composed of thousands of tiny divine thoughts. How to say it, it was similar to the sound made by a chorus of thousands of people.
"...food...help...laying eggs..."
These three words were what the divine thought kept transmitting to Du Yuqi. Du Yuqi immediately understood that this chaotic insect swarm should only have very simple intelligence, similar to cats and dogs. They could easily distinguish between friend and foe and could carry out some very simple communication.
He was immediately delighted at this moment, because such creatures with simple intelligence were the easiest to deal with, as they would never lie. As long as basic trust was established with them, there would be no need to worry about being cheated.
Next, Du Yuqi began to try to communicate with them, and found that it was indeed difficult to communicate. However, he could still barely convey some of his ideas and then obtain some relevant information. For example, when he mentioned the outside of the basin, the Chaos Worms conveyed an emotion of fear and panic. For example, when Du Yuqi mentioned the scarab that appeared before, the Chaos Worms conveyed excited information... From this point of view, the Chaos Worms should be set to survive only in this basin.
The request made by the Chaos Worms was very simple. They asked Du Yuqi to find them more scarab beetles as food so that they could lay eggs smoothly. This kind of thing was in line with Du Yuqi's purpose, so it was natural for him to go with the flow.
After reaching an agreement, Du Yuqi felt relieved and found a sheltered place to fall into a deep sleep.
