Chapter 81: Tree Root Manipulator



Four days later,

Du Yuqi stood on the hill and looked down.

Behind him, Lin, Xi, and Jet were standing nearby. This time, they came again to rescue Meimei and Mingxi who were trapped in the Wailing Cave.

There was a desert-like existence ahead. The lush forest had completely disappeared, leaving only bare earth.

This is due to the initial cooperation between the Violent Hunting Group and the Holy Temple, which invited as many as thirty tree root manipulators. Strictly speaking, these guys are also goblins with very strange personalities. Although their individual combat power is not strong, they possess a peculiar ability that can be compared with the legendary tree herders.

——This ability is to drive away big trees, and even to grab disobedient big trees and throw them away.

At this time, all the grass and trees within hundreds of square kilometers were directly driven out by these reindeer goblins and moved away completely. Even if there were some low grass on the ground, it had completely lost its ability to hide. In this way, no matter whether it was the assassins sent by the Zero Organization or the ferocious killing insects that drilled in and out of the underground, once they appeared, they would have nowhere to hide.

At this time, the Zero Organization has completely retreated to the depths of the Lu Gu Cave. You know, this place has been excavated by the evil Fabro, and the Lu Gu insects have reproduced for hundreds of years. It is originally very large and can be said to be interconnected.

What's more, a few years ago, after the Zero Organization developed the pheromone of the Killing Gu worm, which prevented the Killing Gu worm from attacking the wearer, it expanded here on a large scale and built a secret base. Therefore, the current Killing Gu Cave is very amazing in depth and area, and the maps left over from before are completely useless.

Therefore, after discussion, the Holy Temple decided to deploy some manpower to conduct a tentative attack. This attack can test the enemy's strength and also map the current situation in the cave to lay a good foundation for the next attack. After the results of this attack are fed back, the next action will be determined.

Anyway, the Holy Temple can afford a huge loss. The Isabella that they successfully occupied before has been pulled back to the ground. For them, such a harvest is enough to make back their investment. What's more, it seems that the violent search team here is also making a comeback. Do they want to participate?

Du Yuqi and his group were also members of the advance team at this time. The purpose of their trip was very simple, which was to save people.

The contact with Meimei and Mingxi was cut off a day ago, but according to the news received earlier, they were only facing difficulties rather than danger, so the chances of them holding out until rescue arrived were very high.

Six entrances have been discovered in the entire Lugu Cave, and the hill where Du Yuqi is now is one of the six entrances. In other words, six advance teams totaling 300 people have begun to gather at the entrance and file in. Du Yuqi looked back at his companions, stretched out his hand, and the others also covered it with their hands!

"come on!"

Then the group walked towards the entrance.

This entrance doesn't look big, but after walking in, you will find that there is actually another world inside. From the traces on the cave wall, you can see that there should be killing insects coming in and out here frequently to look for food, and they will also drag the killed prey all the way back and pull it into the cave.

The digestive function of the killing insects themselves is not very strong, so they have a habit of swallowing some sand and stones after eating to increase the friction in their stomach sacs and thus help digestion. When digestion is complete, they will vomit the sand and stones onto the wall of the cave.

The vomit of the Lu Gu worm has a very strong viscosity. Once this vomit mixed with sand and soil dries, it becomes a substance similar to concrete. Therefore, the walls of the Lu Gu cave are reinforced due to the habits of the Lu Gu worm. They are smooth and hard, so it is difficult for them to collapse.

Because of this, there is a strong earthy smell in the cave, which is very pungent and unpleasant. However, because there is a kind of moss growing in the Wailing Cave all year round, the spores of this moss have a fluorescent effect, so the light in the cave is only weak, not dark, so without torches or other lighting tools, people can easily enter it - of course, this often makes people misjudge the danger in the Wailing Cave.

After walking about 200 to 300 meters, there was a fork in the road. Two deep caves, one on the left and one on the right, twisted and stretched deep underground. The surroundings were as quiet as a graveyard, which made people feel creepy. Some people in the team with poor mental quality even talked loudly to resist this oppression, while others took out bottles of wine and gulped down a few gulps.

The advance team that Du Yuqi is in has quite a few members, hundreds of them, but most of them are in highly mobile professions like roaming, or male mages who have abnormal "immortality" and a second life, because the purpose of the advance team is actually to explore the way and mark the map.

In fact, Du Yuqi also has a map in his hand. The origin of this map is very long ago. When he first entered the world of Arad, he fought a desperate battle with the clown and finally got his dimensional ring. In the dimensional ring, there is a strange map of the Wailing Cave. It seems that it should be the basis for the clown to enter the Wailing Cave and dig out the mutated Terra Stone of the Apostle Shilok. This map has a very unique effect, but Du Yuqi took into account that the Wailing Cave had been greatly transformed by the Zero Organization at this time, so he did not dare to trust the lines on it.

Soon, the first attack came, and the main force of the attack was the Gu-killing insects. Why were they so impatient to attack? It was because they were too hungry.

The Temple's action of clearing the wilds was very effective, and all the forests near the Wailing Cave were driven away. Once the Killing Gu Worms came to the ground to hunt, the chance of being exposed was very high, so most of the Killing Gu Worms were starving. However, at this time, a large group of humans took the initiative to enter the cave. Therefore, in the eyes of the Killing Gu Worms, these humans were not only delicious and juicy, but also nutritious, and they were delivered to their doorstep, and must not be missed.

Almost in a short moment, at least more than fifty poisonous insects launched an attack from the top of the cave, the walls, and even from the ground. When they appeared, the air was filled with dust and bursts of yellow-green acid mist were sprayed out, which greatly reduced visibility for a while.

In this situation, more than a dozen people in the entire advance team were hit in an instant. After being bitten by the mouthparts of the Lu Gu, they were dragged into the depths of the dark underground. Even the screams they made sounded like jumping off a cliff, "Ah..." and gradually faded away.

However, the Killing Gu Insects that had targeted Du Yuqi's team were obviously not so lucky. As soon as they broke through the cave wall, Xi shouted, and immediately an absurdly large golden energy shield popped up. No matter which direction the Killing Gu Insects attacked from, they all crashed into the energy shield, and their mouthparts closed in vain, but they had no way to deal with the flexible energy shield.

What followed was an extremely powerful counterattack. Du Yuqi took a step forward and simply swung out a sword. The insect closest to him was chopped and flew more than ten meters away. It rolled and circled in the air for several times, and knocked another of its kind away before it stopped. However, it had already collapsed to the ground like a noodle, and yellow-green body fluids and internal organs kept coming out of its mouthparts.

An ordinary killing insect like this one is indeed not worth mentioning in Du Yuqi's eyes.

Not only that, Lin picked up a Gu insect that was attacking from the ground with one stroke. It was still twisting and turning in the air, but before it landed, Lin had already stabbed it seven times like lightning, each stroke hitting its shell seams, eyes, mouthparts and other vulnerable parts.

Before it hit the ground, the latent energy in the place where it was hit had already exploded with a series of bangs, and its entire body was hit by the blazing fire waves in the air. When it finally landed on the ground, it had become like a twisted dough stick, still burning with flames. As for its shell with extremely strong defensive power, it had been blasted with cracks all over and could no longer provide any protection.

Du Yuqi glanced at Lin and smiled:

"I thought you were living a life of debauchery on Earth, but I didn't expect you to be so well integrated with the power of Bakar."
