Chapter 72: Running back to the Centipede's Nest
In the mine tunnel.
Ji Xiaoyan refused to tell the truth to Luo Yefenfei and sent him away with just the word "secret". Although Falling Leaves is still very curious, I didn’t ask any more questions later! Who doesn’t have a little secret? Besides, their relationship isn't good enough to share secrets!
So, the only sound left in the mine tunnel was the sound of Ji Xiaoyan mining! Lu Ye Fanfei squatted aside and helped Brick dust the rocks dug out by Ji Xiaoyan. However, this cooperation did not last long, and there was a lot of movement from the horned gopher nest!
Shortly after Ji Xiaoyan and Brick put away their things, many dark shadows vaguely appeared at the other end of the mine tunnel. Ji Xiaoyan looked carefully, it was those centipedes! So, he pulled Brick and Luo Yefen to fly to the wall of the mine tunnel to make room for the giant centipedes.
The centipede swarm is now crawling much faster than when it was just there. In less than a minute, the leading centipede arrived next to Ji Xiaoyan. After taking a closer look, I saw that it was a large centipede with missing legs.
"Humans, come with us!" the giant centipede with missing legs said hastily.
“What happened?” Ji Xiaoyan was puzzled! Didn't I say that centipedes are more powerful than those horned gophers? Why did he yell for them to run away together not long after he went to dig out the mouse nest?
"Leave here first!" In just two sentences, at least a dozen centipedes crawled past. "Come up!" The centipede straightened up half of its body and motioned for Ji Xiaoyan to climb onto its back! I don't know when two large centipedes sprang out from the side and stood next to Brick and Luo Ye Fanfei, waiting for them to climb on the centipede's back.
Although Ji Xiaoyan felt a little weird, she still climbed onto the back of the centipede without legs. Needless to say, Brick, the NPC's mental endurance must be unimaginable! However, Fallen Leaves hesitated! The scene of the giant centipede hanging above his head, facing him with its fangs open and its mouth dripping with saliva, has been deeply imprinted on his mind. Now he wants to climb on the centipede's back and have close contact with the centipedes! Thinking about it makes him feel sick!
"Um, Xiaoyan! I don't think it's necessary anymore. I'll run and follow you!" Swallowing, the fallen leaves flew in an attempt to struggle!
"With your strength, can you keep up with us?" Before Ji Xiaoyan could speak, the giant centipede with missing legs said to Fallen Leaves in a very questioning tone.
“………….” The fallen leaves fell silent. Standing in front of such a group of giant centipedes who don't know their level, he is really no match for his level 39 appearance! However, he still tried to struggle. So, he still said expectantly to Ji Xiaoyan on the back of the big centipede with missing legs: "Xiaoyan, I really can't help it..."
Ji Xiaoyan understood the next words! She can understand the psychological shadow of being frightened by centipedes when fallen leaves are falling! However, what the legless centipede said was true. At their level, their speed really couldn't be compared with these centipedes who must be above level 50. After thinking about it, Ji Xiaoyan quickly climbed off the centipede's back, ran to Brick's side and spoke to him in a low voice, then quickly walked to the side of the fallen leaves with a bottle of potion that Brick handed her. The potion was handed to him: "Here, drink this first! You don't have to worry about other things!"
"What is this?" Luoye Fanfei glanced at Ji Xiaoyan. I feel a little bad.
"Just drink it, I'm in a hurry!" Ji Xiaoyan grabbed his hand and brought the potion to his mouth.
The falling leaves had no choice but to drink. Then he found that he couldn't move his whole body. He tried to open his mouth and ask Ji Xiaoyan what was going on, but found that although his mouth could move, it could not make any sound at all. So, the fallen leaves were flying in panic.
Then what he worried about most happened. Ji Xiaoyan patted his arm with a smile and said to him: "Luoye, just be patient. Just close your eyes and think about other beautiful things. We will be there in a moment. !”
“No!” Fallen Leaf shouted crazily in her heart.
"Quick, close your eyes! Don't think about going offline, otherwise you won't be able to find us when you go online later! We don't know what the situation is yet! If you get lost, then If you encounter any danger, it will be bad ! Oh, by the way, even if you go online again, you won’t be able to get rid of this state before the time comes! If something crawls on you then... Hehe... that would be bad! , while calling the legless centipede to help! Then the fallen leaves twisted their faces and decisively closed their eyes. Because he saw a big centipede with missing legs dancing towards him with its little feet. Then he felt that his whole body was hugged by the big centipede with its little feet, and he lay on the centipede's back. This was too exciting, at least it happened before he was ready! Therefore, Fallen Leaves Feifei didn't care what Ji Xiaoyan told him. He silently thought about logging off, but he heard a system prompt saying that he was in an abnormal state and could not log off!
Don’t play tricks on people like this! Falling leaves are now filled with tears in my heart. What he hopes most is that the game warehouse can detect that his mood swings are too high and force him to quit the game! However, his wish did not come true in the end!
Ji Xiaoyan felt relieved after watching the big centipede with missing legs help her throw the falling leaves onto the centipede's back. She even found a rope from the package to fasten the fallen leaves to the centipede's back. He climbed up on the back of the big centipede with missing legs and walked along the group of centipedes!
The centipedes are very fast, at least after Ji Xiaoyan compared their running speeds, he had to admit this! Ever since I entered Li Fei Town, I have never been looked down upon by monsters! I originally thought I could regain some confidence and the feeling of being a hero from the horned gophers. Who knew, but in the end, I was used as cannon fodder by those gophers. Fortunately, these centipedes are relatively peaceful! Thinking of this, Ji Xiaoyan suddenly remembered the original intention of the centipedes going to the gopher's nest, so he quickly took a look around to see if the centipedes had grabbed the ore.
The result surprised Ji Xiaoyan! In the densely crawling group of centipedes, each centipede basically has some small legs to hold the ore, and the other small legs are used for crawling! The most important thing is that those centipedes holding large and small ores can run faster than them! Tears…..
Lying on the centipede's back, Ji Xiaoyan seemed to be in a daze after being shaken so much that he fell asleep. The centipede with missing legs finally stopped. Ji Xiaoyan now has no idea which direction of the mine this is. This is a very small space, completely different from the large gathering place of horned gophers. There are basically narrow gaps all around, the walls are very damp, and there is a thin stream of water in some places. You can basically see many small dark holes on the wall next to the gap. After Ji Xiaoyan saw several centipedes holding ores and getting into those small black holes, she realized that those holes were all centipede nests!
Climbing down the back of the giant centipede with missing legs, Ji Xiaoyan politely asked for its help and freed the fallen leaves from the centipede’s back! Of course, this girl has absolutely no idea of giving Luoye Fanfei the antidote! After placing him on the ground, he went to the side to communicate with the giant centipede that was missing its legs. Only the fallen leaves were left lying on the ground, crying in my heart.
"Um, Mr. Centipede, what happened just now?" This is what Ji Xiaoyan is most concerned about!
As soon as he heard Ji Xiaoyan's question, the giant centipede with missing legs excitedly waved its tentacles, and then said: "It's not that group of gophers! They are so disgusting!"
Ji Xiaoyan nodded in understanding. Then continue to ask about the situation.
"After leaving you, we carefully arrived at the gophers, and then everyone spread out to find "food" in the gophers' dens and warehouses. Well, it's what you humans call ore!" The giant centipede with missing legs sighed, and then continued: "Who knows how much they have not grabbed yet, but those gophers came out from nowhere and found a lot of high-grade ores to use as weapons from the high ground. It was thrown at us from the air. Humans, did you know that a lot of high-grade ores were so heavy that the injured ones were basically unable to crawl back? A group of gophers appeared from nowhere. They took some weapons made by humans and hacked to death those injured fellows who couldn't crawl. "
Ji Xiaoyan was surprised! It turns out that group of gophers are so strong! You can also use weapons to chop centipedes! So cool.
“Later, those gophers found some powerful humans from nowhere. We couldn’t defeat them, so we had to retreat! Because those powerful humans were chasing us, So I didn't have much time to explain to you, so I brought you here!" Big Centipede said sadly. Those gophers are too cunning, so they bully them. The Green Poison Centipede family is too honest.
"Oh! Then you brought us here to hear the explanation?" Ji Xiaoyan nodded clearly and asked.
The giant centipede with missing legs moved its tentacles and said angrily: "I'm afraid you will be discovered by the humans behind you. We will be killed together!"
All right! Ji Xiaoyan still sighed with emotion. Look how loyal these centipedes are!
"Haha, thank you very much, Mr. Centipede!" Ji Xiaoyan smiled awkwardly. Then he continued: "So how was your harvest today? What are you going to do next?"
"The harvest should be pretty good!" The big centipede with missing legs shook together with the centipedes next to it. The tentacle queen replied, Ji Xiaoyan guessed that they were exchanging harvests! "And, since we have promised you, we will set off immediately to find a new gathering place." It's okay if you don't want to leave. The humans the gopher found are too powerful. It doesn't want to stay here and wait for those people. Humans are coming to exterminate the species. Although they didn’t get enough of it this time!
After finishing speaking, the big centipede with missing legs asked Ji Xiaoyan to go somewhere with it. Ji Xiaoyan looked at the fallen leaves lying on the ground and felt a little worried! You must know that Fallen Leaf Fanfei has a psychological shadow on Centipede now. It would be really not good if he is left alone here. So after thinking about it, she decided to let Brick stay with him, and she followed the giant centipede with missing legs. Of course, before leaving, Brick secretly stuffed her with some potion to help her defend herself! As for whether it can work on centipedes, that's another matter.
