Chapter 047: Arrowworm
Shen Zheng chose to be the last one to enter the cave.
Yun Tianfeng didn't say anything more, he didn't need to say anything more. When the door opened, he walked straight in and disappeared into the darkness.
Shen Zheng stood quietly in front of the door, waiting for the time to come.
I understand what you said.
He looked at the door, and Yun Tianfeng's back appeared in his mind. [
I have struggled all the way from the bottom of society, and I have seen all kinds of despicable means and tyranny. I have been deceived, oppressed, and fooled. Every time I paid, it was the price of blood and tears.
If I can't learn anything from it, then it's better for me to die directly.
Two minutes passed quickly, and when the control panel beeped, indicating that it could be operated again, Shen Zheng opened the door.
Darkness unfolded in front of his eyes, and he could see the starting point clearly, but not the end point. The deep black, like an edge, enveloped the world inside the door. It was an unknown mysterious space, hiding countless crises. No matter how strong the warrior was, he couldn't help but tremble slightly when he first faced it.
Shen Zheng did not tremble.
He walked in slowly and stood in the light in front of the door. But the light soon disappeared, because the door slowly closed behind him, and he fell into darkness completely.
The darkness beside him, with a hint of coldness, as if death was close to him, making people feel cold from the bottom of their hearts.
But Shen Zheng was not afraid. On the contrary, he didn't know why he had a kind of intimacy, as if the darkness here was the place he was most familiar with and the world he loved most. At this moment, he suddenly felt as if he was born in this darkness.
Illusion?
No. He shook his head and smiled. How could it be an illusion? Who is not born in darkness? Isn't that warm space belonging to the mother's body pitch black?
Even the whole world was born from darkness.
He slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes, which had slowly adapted to the darkness, saw a blurry space within a hundred meters, as if a nearsighted person saw the whole world when looking at it.
Is this the living space that the Zerg likes? Shen Zheng looked around, and a feeling he couldn't explain spread out, giving him a strange sense of familiarity with this space that was invisible to the naked eye.
Such a contradictory feeling.
There is no danger here, I should... He looked around, not with his eyes, but with the indescribable feeling in his heart.
I should go there.
Soon, he found a direction by feeling, and then walked in that direction firmly. Along the way, the terrain was tortuous and the ground was bumpy, but he ran quickly here with the unique ability of a strong man, and that feeling made him avoid all the pits and sharp stones in time.
Along the way, he sensed a large number of insect swarms, which ranged from hundreds to dozens of insects. They were of different species, but all of them were dangerous. He bypassed them with the guidance of his feelings and did not fight meaningfully.
While following his feelings, he did not forget to record the path he had taken. It is amazing that when he deliberately remembered this route, a strange line slowly emerged in his mind, and these lines tortuously drew a map in his mind that was different from the normal map. [
As long as he turned around and followed the route of the "map" in his mind, he would definitely be able to return to the exit.
He was completely relieved and ran in the direction that his feeling led him to.
The other four people did not go too far. About one kilometer away from the exit, they all stopped, then stood somewhere, silently exuded insect breath, left a little insect breath there, and then began to grope and move forward. They were in different locations and in different directions, but the same thing was that they kept doing the same action.
This was their way of remembering the route, and it was the most practical skill they had summed up after being lost in this cave.
Yun Tianfeng walked in the dark, exuding insect breath, and trying to feel all the wind and grass around him. He remembered the scene when he first participated in the competition. In the coexistence of excitement and fear, he lost his way, ran into a swarm of insects, and almost died in the deep cave.
The lesson he learned that time was profound. After he went out, he became extremely silent, but also extremely hardworking, and became the hardest-working student in this grade. God is also fair. His hard work brought him two championships in the college hunting competition.
Two insect cores that can enhance insect power made him the strongest student in the academy after he was promoted to the second grade. His insect power reached 90, which was equivalent to the level of the instructor.
I must get this insect core. This is the last academy hunting competition I can participate in. After that, I will graduate and will never have the opportunity to get the insect core prepared by the insect controller. I can't stop at the 90 stage. I have to become stronger. I want to reach 100, challenge the impossible, and become an insect controller!
He thought excitedly in his heart, although he was calm on the surface, and then stood in a dark place.
He could feel that there was a group of insects in front of him. The breath emitted by this group of insects was not strong. It seemed that the insect power of each one was only between 20 and 30, and it was not a big deal when added together.
But he didn't want to waste his energy on them.
He continued to search around this group of insects. With the experience of winning the championship twice, he knew where to find the strong ones among the insects. Finally, when he arrived at a certain place, he was surprised to find traces of mole insects.
The championship still belongs to me! He continued to move forward along the trace in surprise.
Suddenly, he felt that his insect breath was disturbed by something. After a moment of fear, he turned around suddenly and released his insect breath completely.
At this moment, a huge and slender six-legged beetle had already pounced over and stabbed Yun Tianfeng fiercely with its sharp feet.
I am really lucky!
After the fear, Yun Tianfeng's heart was filled with great surprise!
At this time, Shen Zheng was still running.
That feeling led him, allowing him to keep moving forward, turning, and detouring. He did not search based on experience like the other four people, but just ran in pursuit of the feeling. The interval between them could not be calculated.
He could not tell what the feeling was, but his intuition told him that as long as he followed this feeling, he would get the greatest benefit. Just like on the battlefield, this feeling always allowed him to sense the greatest danger and quickly avoid it.
After a long time, he suddenly stopped because he sensed that a battle was going on not far away. The battle was happening on the route he was about to move. He hesitated for a moment, but finally ran over quickly.
A few minutes later, he finally saw the fierce battlefield. One of the protagonists on the battlefield was a beetle with a slender body and six legs, which was the mole bug shown on the phantom screen, and the other protagonist was Yun Tianfeng. [
The battle between the two sides was evenly matched. Yun Tianfeng won in terms of strength, while the mole bug won in terms of adapting to the darkness and moving sound. It was like an excellent assassin. It would escape immediately if it missed a strike, and then quickly launch a new attack with the cover of darkness and terrain.
Yun Tianfeng was fighting the mole bug with a calm face, and suddenly found Shen Zheng approaching this place, and his heart sank immediately.
Oh no, how could he find this place? Was it a coincidence?
Thinking of what he had just said to him, Yun Tianfeng became even more anxious.
"In the face of huge interests, anyone will become ruthless."
He said this to Shen Zheng just now, originally to make Shen Zheng realize the mentality of those people, so that he would not unite with them "friendly", but he did not expect that he would dig his own grave now.
In this anxious distraction, the mole worm immediately took the upper hand, and there was a moment of danger.
Shen Zheng looked at him, and then looked at the mole worm. That was the goal of this hunting competition. As long as he rushed over to kill it, and then defeated Yun Tianfeng and took the mole worm's body out, he could win the game and win the worm core that could increase his strength.
But that feeling was leading him to go further.
Why? He was a little stunned and surprised. Is there anything more important than hunting this mole worm?
When he was hesitant, a special feeling of hunger suddenly surged from the depths of his mind and quickly spread throughout his body. He was tortured by this feeling and felt anxious.
Nothing was more important than relieving this hunger. Shen Zheng did not hesitate any more and suddenly passed by the battlefield and rushed in the direction guided by the wonderful feeling.
What is going on with him?
Yun Tianfeng, who thought that Shen Zheng suddenly accelerated and rushed over to snatch the mole worm from him, was startled. He stared at Shen Zheng's back for a while, wondering what kind of wind this new level genius student was.
At this time, the mole worm took advantage of his carelessness and made him suffer a loss. When his body flew out with a streak of blood and broke through a protruding rock wall, he was freed from his astonishment, gritted his teeth, and pounced on the mole worm again.
The feeling of hunger made Shen Zheng run all the way. He didn't know how far he ran. In short, he had to reach the place where the feeling pointed as soon as possible.
When he turned a corner of the cave, jumped off a small cliff about 20 meters high, and slid down a slope for more than 100 meters to a deeper layer, he suddenly found that there was a faint energy on the hard stone wall in front of him.
He was a little stunned and couldn't help reaching out to touch it, but when he touched the energy layer, his hand was like being electrocuted and was hit back.
What is this? He stared blankly, raised his head and looked around, and found that this layer of energy has been spreading all around and finally disappeared in the darkness. He closed his eyes and carefully used his insect breath to sense it, but still couldn't trace the end of this energy layer.
At this moment, a rock on the left hand side suddenly moved, and then a little crack appeared. The hole was only as thick as a little finger at first, but as several water arrows were ejected from it, it became larger and larger, and finally broke into a hole more than one meter wide with a bang, and then a huge, lizard-like thing suddenly drilled out from it.
Shen Zheng suddenly felt that the moment the local thing drilled out, his hunger became more obvious, as if reminding himself that the ultimate goal was this thing.
This is... a water arrow worm!
The knowledge system learned from Lei Che quickly passed through his mind, about the classification of insects.
The smooth skin of the monster with a faint watery light drilled out of the hole and fell to the ground, slowly raising its head. On the oval head, a pair of dark eyes also shone with water, and there were a pair of terrifying jaws on both sides of the open mouth. Behind the two-meter-long body, there was a sharp tail as long as the body.
That's right, it's a water arrow worm.
Looking carefully at the monster in front of him, Shen Zheng confirmed his judgment.
The water arrow worm has skin as smooth as oil, and can withstand almost all physical attacks within its tolerance range. Basically, only insect breath-type energy attacks are effective against it. And the long tail behind it can shoot high-pressure water arrows from the tip, which are so powerful that they can even directly penetrate heavy armored vehicles.
And its insect strength value ranges from 90 to 100!
