Chapter 500: This giant insect is a bit cute (4800 words)
The light produced in an instant was too intense, and in an instant, Xu Xin's eyes were filled with white light.
The wind pressure generated by the explosion made Xu Xin and Lou Fei'er a little unsteady in the jungle a hundred meters away.
"Hey..." Keke buried her little head directly and huddled in Xu Xin's arms.
"This explosion is too powerful!"
Although the two of them were not sure about the current situation, Lou Fei'er still sighed.
"...Indeed."
Watching such a violent explosion from such a distance is really awe-inspiring.
The vision in his eyes gradually returned, and the explosion once again produced smoke that rose like a mushroom, once again covering the location of the giant insect.
"How's it going?" Xu Xin looked nervously at the direction of the explosion.
"No...I don't know, but..." Li Wenxi's nervous voice came from the watch, "That insect doesn't seem to be dead! I can vaguely see its insect body in the smoke!"
Xu Xin was observing through the gaps in the dense canopy of trees in the jungle and could not see the whole picture, but Li Wenxi's position could.
"It...it is indeed not dead!" Beside her, Lou Fei'er's throat rolled, and she said with some horror, "I can still feel its pressure, and...it seems to be stronger! It, it...it doesn't I’ll be even more angry!”
"Huh...?" Coco called out in confusion.
Xu Xin narrowed her eyes.
Every time a bug dies, this is what he expected.
He didn't think that this blow could kill the giant insect.
After all, even the weaker Blood-patterned Troll was only seriously injured after receiving the same blow, but it did not lose its life, but also left a head.
Not to mention it is more powerful.
And, most importantly, it's a bug.
The vitality of insects cannot be underestimated!
Even among the ordinary bugs on Earth, some can survive after being broken into several pieces, and each piece can even grow into an individual.
The vitality of insects is very tenacious, much more tenacious than a mammal that cannot survive if its internal organs are damaged.
This giant insect is probably the same!
It may even have stronger vitality!
The blow only shattered its head, so it probably couldn't be said to be a serious injury.
But...
He had no intention of killing the bug, just letting it go away was enough.
I hope that after this blow, this giant insect can retreat.
By the way, read minds!
All the surrounding bugs have been killed by the explosion. Now is a good time to read minds!
He immediately started mind reading.
"...It hurts! It hurts so much!!"
A sharp scream immediately began to echo in his mind!
Sure enough, he wasn't dead.
However, this voice surprised him a little.
This insect is so huge, but its voice is very sharp.
"...Danger...too dangerous..."
Its voice at this time made Xu Xin's eyelids twitch and he felt happy.
This guy is starting to give up!
"Damn... Why are the test subjects here so strong? It doesn't make sense... I shouldn't be here..."
...?
The smile on Xu Xin's face froze.
Experimental subjects, are you talking about them?
And the last sentence...
This insect, indeed, just arrived here during this period, and it must be the culprit that caused this insect wave!
"...I want to go back, I don't want to be here anymore...This is different from what I promised!"
As promised?
Who did it agree with?
The force that sent it here?
But listening to the tone of its voice, it doesn't seem to be under the control of the other party, but a bit like... coming to help?
At this time, the thick smoke generated after the explosion had dispersed, and the surrounding survivors who had been observing the situation finally saw the situation clearly.
"Oh my god, the whole head of this bug was blown off!"
"Even its terrible mouth was blown away!"
"Hahaha, this thing is not far away from death!"
"Oh shit, this is so exciting! Why can't I contact other people now! I want to tell this to people all over the world!"
"Wait...! This bug... this bug is still moving!"
"Its head! Its head is going to grow back!"
"Xu Xin, Xu Xin!" Li Wenxi's voice was very anxious, almost crying, "The head of this insect seems to be growing! It... its head will grow back soon!"
< br>
From Xu Xin's perspective, we can't see much, but from the perspective of Li Wenxi and the survivors, we can clearly see that the flesh and blood of the wound where the insect was broken by the explosion is squirming and growing rapidly. I'm afraid it won't take a few minutes. A blown-off head is about to grow back!
They only have this one big killer weapon!
If none of this works, then it is completely powerless to resist!
"What?!" Lou Fei'er was already overwhelmed by the pressure of the giant insect. When she heard this, her mentality almost collapsed, "Xu Xin, what should I do? What should I do?"
Even the Silver King under Xu Xin was very restless at this time. If Xu Xin hadn't been riding on it, it might have turned around and run away.
"Don't panic, you two, it'll be fine."
Xu Xin's voice was very calm.
Being able to read minds is good, being able to perfectly control the enemy's psychology and next move.
This insect's level is indeed very high, and its voice has basically no obstacles, allowing Xu Xin to hear it easily.
Such as now.
"It's too dangerous to go back. The opponent's tentative attack is so powerful..."
This bug is so cautious.
It believed that the first attack made by this tree house must be a tentative attack, and it was impossible to use all its strength in the first attack.
If the opponent bombards it indiscriminately, it will be seriously injured and on the verge of death even if it does not die.
"This is too dangerous...I'm not the fighting type...I can't die here!"
The red light on the giant insect suddenly grew brighter, and then its head, which had been blown off, began to grow and heal crazily.
Xu Xin's heart moved.
Not the combat type?
No wonder...
No wonder it never came out of that huge pit. It kept roaring and controlling the insect swarm, but it didn't move at all.
It turns out that its own combat effectiveness is not very strong.
Indeed, even the bite that was directed at him and Lou Feier just now was not fast enough for them to easily avoid it. It was just a mouthful of dirt.
"Xu Xin! Is this really okay?!" Li Wenxi's anxious voice came again.
Although Xu Xin's calm tone just now made Li Wenxi and Lou Feier feel relieved, the current situation is really scary!
This is obviously because the other party is completely angry!
"Don't worry, I said it's okay, and it's okay." Xu Xin pursed her lips and couldn't help but want to laugh.
At this time, the giant insect's voice was really a bit funny.
"Don't hit me...let me go! I'll take them with me when I recover! Don't hit me!"
This giant insect has terrifying blood lines flashing on its body, and its flesh and blood is growing like crazy, but it is actually thinking about these things in its heart...
But taking them with you?
It said it wanted to restore its head, or that giant mouth, which sounded like... it wanted to use that giant mouth to make a sound and leave here with the surrounding insect swarms!
If this is the case, everyone will be happy!
"Um...okay."
Hearing what Xu Xin said, Li Wenxi felt relieved, and then asked with some curiosity: "So, how do you know there is no danger now?"
"This is a secret." Xu Xin rubbed Coco who was curiously looking at the giant insect in his arms, and said with a slight smile.
He still planned to keep some secrets only for himself to know.
It's not that he doesn't believe Li Wenxi, but information will always get out for various reasons, even if she doesn't take the initiative.
A secret can only be considered a secret if only you know it.
It's time for him to have some trump cards of his own.
"Secret...? Well, okay!" Li Wenxi did not ask for details, "Then I believe you. Do you need me to do anything else?"
"Well..." A slightly malicious smile appeared on Xu Xin's face, "You control the purple-level super-heavy crossbow and aim it at the giant insect."
"Ah? What do you mean?" Li Wenxi was a little confused. "We have no ammunition. I replenished it before. You don't know that this thing consumes a lot of materials."
"Okay, instead of asking people to launch it, just aim it."
"Uh... Okay, okay." Li Wenxi was confused and murmured, "Isn't this a provocation? Is it really going to be okay?"
However, she did as Xu Xin said.
On the tree house, the huge heavy crossbow began to move again, aiming again at the giant insect whose head had basically grown out and its bloody mouth had begun to take shape.
"...!! Don't hit me! I'll be leaving soon!"
Sure enough, when the giant insect saw the heavy crossbow moving, it screamed in fear, and even its huge body began to swing.
"Pfft..." Xu Xin couldn't help laughing.
This giant insect...
Why does it feel so cute?
But people who don’t know its thoughts don’t think it’s cute.
Li Wenxi's beauty turned pale.
Because the red light on the giant insect's body became stronger, and its recovery speed suddenly accelerated.
After a few seconds, the head was finally completely restored, but then, the blood lines on its body quickly dimmed.
Immediately afterwards, the giant insect opened its newly grown bloody mouth and raised its head to the sky with a roar that shook the forest.
“————”
In the nearby jungle, the insects that were still rushing towards the campfire or eating trees immediately stopped moving.
Then an overwhelming number of insects suddenly appeared underground in the jungle!
The night sky was instantly covered!
The number of these bugs far exceeds any swarm of bugs I have ever seen before!
However, there were not many bugs popping up around Xu Xin's current position, probably because the previous wave of attacks consumed the nearby bugs.
"This... this...!" Li Wenxi had seen too many radical scenes and was a little speechless.
It's not that she doesn't believe Xu Xin, but this kind of scenes come one after another...
Even Xu Xin's expression changed.
This number is astonishing!
Behind him, Lou Fei'er, who had been silent all this time, suddenly grabbed Xu Xin tightly, her hands trembling.
Coco, this timid little guy, was not afraid at all, and even climbed onto Xu Xin's shoulder: "Hey!"
But if this little guy isn't in a hurry, then it'll be fine.
Sure enough, the overwhelming swarm of insects did not attack the tree house, nor did they have any interest in Xu Xin and the others. Instead, they collectively flew and crawled towards the location of the giant insects!
Extremely fast!
"Ah..." In the voice, Li Wenxi breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, he didn't attack us, otherwise..."
"I said, just believe me." Xu Xin smiled.
"You guys don't have the ability to control giant beasts, do you?" Li Wenxi said with some suspicion, "Otherwise, why did the opponent retreat when they had such a huge advantage? Was it controlled by you?"
"Congratulations, you guessed wrong."
"...Hmph!"
At this time, the survivors in the tree house were also cheering.
"Damn it, this scene is too fierce!"
"Is there any way to record this scene? I want to share it with survivors all over the world!"
"The insect swarm is at an ebb!"
"Too strong...really too strong..."
"This is simply the safest place in the world!"
“And it’s exciting every day!”
Within a minute, all the swarms of insects that emerged from the ground flew into the pit and crawled into it.
As for the giant insect, as soon as it roared, it immediately turned around and burrowed into the ground.
While drilling, it also made the sound of eating soil and rocks. It was obvious that it was using its bloody mouth to swallow the soil to dig holes!
Isn’t this guy really just an earthworm?
It left a final sentence.
"Next time I come...I will bring a stronger insect army! If not..."
Then, Xu Xin couldn't hear anything.
The distance of the giant insect was beyond the range of the voice reading, and the voice in my mind stopped there.
This guy moves really fast.
It seems that although its level is very high, its abilities don't seem to be reflected in combat.
Its ability should be to control insect swarms.
From this point of view, the mutation direction of this giant insect is not physical, but mental mutation like Qin Fu's, so it can control the insects by roaring.
But because the bugs this time were all small bugs, and they were all brainless bugs that couldn't control themselves and wanted to pounce on fire when they saw fire, it made its ability to control the swarm of bugs seem a bit insignificant.
If, as it says, it brings a stronger swarm, say...
A swarm of insects like the underworld.
That would be too strong.
But...
Xu Xin couldn't help but laugh again.
This insect's last voice always gave him a feeling of, "I will definitely come back."
It doesn't feel like it's being controlled by itself.
Considering its huge size, Xu Xin had already thought about it clearly.
This is a giant insect that has the bloodline of a giant beast and has mutated its blood stripes.
This kind of creature is still beyond the control of the Blood Pattern Clan.
Otherwise, there would not be a place like the Underworld Prison.
Therefore, this giant insect was probably here to help, as he just thought.
But when something like this happened, it thought its life was threatened, so naturally it would not risk its life like other mutant creatures.
In addition, it has a mutation in mental power, and its IQ is definitely much higher. The higher the IQ of a creature, the more it will think about, and it will naturally run away.
This directly allowed them to easily solve the problem this time.
"Is there...what's so funny..." Behind her, Lou Fei'er, who had been silent just now, complained, "You almost lost me..."
"...?" Xu Xin turned to look at her, "What do you mean? Didn't you just think you were being suppressed by a higher level?"
"...It's not the same."
It wasn't that she didn't want to speak just now, but... she couldn't speak at all.
After the giant insect lit up with red light just now, she actually felt that there was an inexplicable attraction to the giant insect, which made her subconsciously want to get closer.
But she held back.
And later, when the giant insect's red light shone brightly, she almost couldn't help it anymore.
She felt like she was about to be controlled by that roar!
Fortunately, she grabbed Xu Xin's arm with one hand and pinched her thigh with the other hand before she could bear it.
Knowing that the giant insect had retreated just now, she finally took a breath and said those words.
"This is too scary!" Li Wenxi said with some fear on the other side of the voice, "They were almost controlled! Xu Xin, you have to help them improve their mental strength quickly!"
"It turns out to be like this..." Xu Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, and then nodded, "It seems that we must speed up the improvement of your mental power. In the future, the amount of mental power potions will be increased."
"Um... I don't know if I can bear it..." Lou Feier whispered.
"Okay, let's go over and take a look. Those three people should still be down there."
The two of them immediately rode Silver King to the edge of the giant pit and looked down.
"Eh-" Lou Fei'er let out a cry of disgust.
Below, there is a large area of soil that looks like it has been plowed and is very soft.
This should be the location where the giant insect burrowed into the ground and escaped.
But...
The swarm didn't seem to be able to keep up with the giant worms.
This resulted in the huge pit below being filled with crawlers and flying insects.
Even the ruins and statues were covered with bugs.
This is really hard to get into.
What can we do?
At this time, Xu Xin's watch vibrated.
He raised his hand and saw that it was a message from Ji Chaoyang.
"Xu Xin, what's going on over there? Someone here saw the fire on your side. Did something happen?"
"Xue Fei's insect repellent potion has been made and it works well. If you need it, please contact me."
He was probably afraid of what might happen to Xu Xin, so he didn't dare to disturb her with his voice.
But...
The repellent potion is finished!
This is just right!
