Chapter 285: Strange Underground Insects
Xue Su's words made everyone cautious. They held their breath and dared not show their strength at will. They just followed Xue Su quietly and moved towards the cave passage in front. | Sanba Literature
Walking through this slightly narrow passage and through the cave entrance in front, everyone saw a huge cave below. Waves of insect sounds came from below, as if there was a tide surging below. Everyone followed Xue Su to slowly approach the cave entrance and looked down. What they saw was a huge cave like a large underground plain. On the uneven ground in the cave, thousands of huge insects were resting.
"This is it!" Shen Zheng was immediately surprised when he saw this kind of insect.
This insect is huge, and the smallest one is as big as a double bed. Many big guys are mixed in the group, and their size is as big as a small mountain. But this is not the reason why Shen Zheng was surprised. The reason why he was surprised was because of the appearance of this insect.
It actually looks like a giant turtle, and its tail is extremely long and soft, twisting in the air, clearly a snake covered with a shell! [
Isn't this the legendary Black Tortoise Holy Spirit?
"I never thought there would be Black Tortoise Beetles here." Jiang Shuilu's eyes also shone, and he nodded slightly.
"Black Tortoise Beetle?" Shen Zheng asked in a low voice, "Isn't it the Black Tortoise Holy Spirit?"
"It is the offshoot of the Black Tortoise Holy Spirit." Jiang Shuilu answered in a low voice, "So it looks very similar to the Black Tortoise Holy Spirit, but if you look closely, it still has obvious insect characteristics, and belongs to the narrow range of 'insects' we define. The Black Tortoise Holy Spirit is a combination of a turtle and a snake, but the snake does not live on the turtle, and the snake on this insect is its tail. But even so, they are also quite amazing, their insect power ranges from 9000 to 20000, and the strongest is equivalent to a first-level star spirit."
"Star spirit levels?" Shen Zheng really didn't know much about this. He progressed too fast, and he was almost at the peak not long after becoming a worm melter, so he didn't have time to learn these higher-level knowledge.
Jiang Shuilu was somewhat surprised to see that Shen Zheng had reached this level but had not yet learned this knowledge. However, when he thought of the rumors about Shen Zheng, he was relieved and whispered: "In simple terms, star spirits are divided into nine levels. The first-level star spirit is a strong person who has just become a star spirit, with a bug power of less than 30,000, and the second holy spirit has not yet been realized. The second holy spirit is realized as the second level, the third holy spirit is opened as the third level, and the realization is the fourth level. Similarly, those who have opened and realized all five holy spirits are the eighth level, and finally the five holy spirits are integrated into one, and then they enter the ninth level. At that time, the bug power reaches 100,000, which is the peak of the star spirit. If the upper dantian is further opened, it can become a star master."
"Thank you for your advice." Shen Zheng nodded slightly and thanked in a low voice.
"Now is not the time to thank you for teaching. | Sanba Literature" Jiang Shuilu smiled slightly and pointed downward, "My strength is close to that of a second-level star spirit. If there is a top-level basalt beetle here, I can deal with one, but if there are more than two, I will not be able to do it. We have to think carefully about how to do it. These are all treasures! It would be a great harvest to grab one."
"There is no top-level basalt beetle in this group." Xue Su only glanced at it and actually distinguished it clearly, "The most powerful one, the insect power is about 17,000 or 18,000, that is there, the one with a body as big as a hill."
Jiang Shuilu looked at Xue Su in surprise, and didn't understand why Xue Su could distinguish the strength of the Zerg so easily, and accurately to the specific insect power value. However, there is a tacit understanding among the strong, that is, not to ask too much about the secrets of other people's power.
Along the way, Xue Su has shown enough strength, and Jiang Shuilu has no doubts about it. He just nodded slightly and looked over and asked, "Which one?"
"That one." Xue Su pointed again.
After watching for a long time, everyone really couldn't see anything.
"Xue Su, there are dozens of them as big as a small mountain. How can we tell which one you are referring to?" Shen Zheng smiled bitterly in a low voice.
"It doesn't matter, Miss Xue Su, as long as you can tell them." Jiang Shuilu whispered, "Let's lead it away, and then you take Shen Zheng and the other three to sneak attack the little guys on the edge. Be careful."
"No." Xue Su shook her head, "It's useless to lead it away. Because the dozens of them that you see are as big as a small mountain, the insect power is basically around 15,000. It's useless to lead away the most powerful one."
"Are they all so high?" Jiang Shuilu was also shocked and frowned. "This is not easy to do..."
Everyone was also anxious in their hearts - seeing a treasure right in front of you, but you can't get a coin from it, this feeling is really uncomfortable.
While everyone was observing the insect swarm, Xue Su took a step back and opened her mouth slightly. A sound wave that humans could never hear spread out from her mouth, radiating into the insect swarm below. [
Suddenly, the most powerful basalt beetle moved, stretched its neck and looked around, then opened its mouth and let out a low hissing sound, slowly crawling in a certain direction.
Then, the dozens of huge guys also stood up, looked around, and walked in different directions.
The little guys also started to move, split into dozens of groups, and followed the big guys to different directions.
"What's going on?" Jiang Shuilu was surprised when he saw this scene.
"I don't know." Xue Su said, "Look, they are all scattered, each heading towards different exits leading to this underground plain. I don't know if they are patrolling or guarding. This is a great opportunity, let's act separately!"
Shen Zheng looked at Xue Su and felt that all this was too coincidental, and he realized that Xue Su had just deliberately stepped back. Could it be...
He thought of Xue Su as a bug man, with the bug sound skill, using the bug sound to completely command or influence the actions of the bug tribe.
She must have her intention for making such an arrangement.
So Shen Zheng's mind turned slightly, and he immediately said: "Councilor Jiang, you take Brother Gu in one group, Xue Su takes me and Shui Qingqing in one group, let's act separately."
"Okay." Jiang Shuilu nodded. In his opinion, Xue Su is also a star spirit of the same level as himself, and it is just right for her to take two insect melters.
"Be careful." Gu Yunsha warned worriedly, but then he smiled. "My words are really redundant. Miss Xuesu doesn't need to say anything. Shen Zheng, you also have that kind of amazing white snake killing move. How can I worry about it? Instead, you should warn us."
"You said that, as if your mentor's skills are not good enough." Jiang Shuilu laughed and scolded.
"No, mentor, I don't mean that..." Gu Yunsha hurriedly explained, Jiang Shuilu waved his hand: "Let's go!"
As he said, he waved his hand, and a gust of wind had already wrapped up Gu Yunsha, floating beside him, and he directly broke through the limit of gravity and flew towards the direction where a group of basalt beetles left. The gust of wind wrapped Gu Yunsha, never leaving his side, and flew away together.
"Xuesu, can you fly?" Shen Zheng asked Xuesu with a smile.
"Not yet." Xuesu shook her head.
"But shouldn't your strength be at the level of a bug... no, a star spirit?" Shen Zheng was about to say bug evil, but suddenly realized that Shui Qingqing couldn't know this secret, so he changed his words to star spirit.
"Is it?" Xue Su shook her head, "I don't know, anyway, I just can't fly."
"Then let's go carefully." Shen Zheng nodded, jumped down from the hole, and used gravity ability when he was about to land, so that he could fall slowly.
At this time, Xue Su and Shui Qingqing also jumped down, each using their strength to land steadily.
"You follow me." Xue Su whispered, and after looking around, she ran in one direction. Shen Zheng and Shui Qingqing didn't say much nonsense, and followed her all the way, gradually walking farther and farther, leaving this underground plain, and entering a huge and tortuous wormhole passage.
After walking forward carefully for more than ten minutes, another plain-like wormhole appeared at the end of the passage, but the area of this plain was much smaller than the previous one, less than one percent, but it was enough to accommodate dozens of bugs. [
Xue Su looked over there, then slowly opened her mouth. Shen Zheng immediately stepped forward to block between her and Shui Qingqing, so that Shui Qingqing could not see Xue Su opening her mouth.
Waves of sound came out of Xue Su's mouth and entered the insect swarm in the cave. After a moment, a small basalt beetle separated the insects and squeezed out, then came towards the direction of the three people.
"Be careful and hide." Xue Su said, then immediately jumped up, jumped to the top of the cave, and stabbed her fingers in to grab it.
Shui Qingqing moved her body, moved up along the wall of the cave, and also reached the top of the cave, while Shen Zheng directly used the gravity ability of the levitation skill to float on the top of the cave.
The levitation skill has a distance of ten meters, and the top of the cave is only more than nine meters, which is completely within the skill ability range.
The basalt beetle quickly crawled under the feet of the three people and went back to the way it came. Shen Zheng looked at this guy carefully, and his heart was full of surprise. Because he found that this basalt beetle looked different from the other basalt beetles. Although it also had a carapace on its body, the carapace was more dense and looked like a real turtle skin instead of a beetle shell. The large shell on its back also looked like a real turtle shell, not the smooth, turtle-shell carapace of a basalt beetle.
The long snake-like tail behind it was much more agile than that of other basalt beetles, twisting and swaying around. More importantly, the snake head was constantly spitting out tongues.
Although the tails of other basalt beetles were also like those of living snakes, Shen Zheng had not seen any of them spit out tongues from their tail heads.
What was wrong with this guy? He looked at Xue Su in confusion, but Xue Su pointed out that he must not speak, and then waited until the basalt beetle walked away, and then Xue Su slowly came to the ground along the cave wall, motioning the two to follow her.
The three followed the strange basalt beetle all the way back to the original path, and after a long time, they bypassed the tortuous passage and returned to the underground plain.
The three hid at the exit of the passage and looked at the basalt beetle. They saw it slowly walk to a slightly raised underground rock and bark a few times while looking at the rock.
"That's it!" Xue Su's eyes lit up.
