“Standing still?”
Chen Ming asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"
Hua Peiling pondered for a moment, then looked at Lin You and asked, "Is there a problem with the soul connection?"
Hearing her mention the soul connection, Chen Ming also realized it belatedly and said, "Oh right, Gunner Dragon is still over there. He's so far away and hasn't broken the connection yet. This is really strange."
As he spoke, he seemed to be about to cry but couldn't, "Is there really no way out? You said we are trapped here, will anyone come to save us? If not, are we going to stay here forever? Oh no, we can't stay that long. After the energy is exhausted, we still need to eat. Although we have stored special food when we came in, we will eventually eat it all. After eating..."
"Shut up!"
Hua Peiling stopped him again to prevent him from talking too much.
And when she heard him mention being trapped, she couldn't help but glance at Lin You subconsciously.
Why does this always happen when I'm with him?
What is this?
A specific bond?
Soon, without thinking about it anymore, Hua Peiling looked around, and her gaze finally fell to the ground.
Coincidentally, Lin You was also looking at the ground.
"Look..."
Chen Ming, the curious child, was about to ask again, but halfway through his words, he realized something and smiled with some surprise, "Oh right, since those insects were able to emerge from the ground just now, the breakthrough point must be underground, not in front."
Wow, Senior Chen Ming has finally figured it out. That’s not easy!
Lin You laughed in his heart and said, "That's right, the problem lies underground. I think there might be something incredible buried underground."
"Then let's attack and see?"
Hua Peiling asked tentatively, but Lin You said with some regret, "It's useless. This ground can't be destroyed easily. Don't forget, when we were fighting those bugs just now, we released quite a few attacks, but look at the ground. How many traces were left?"
The two of them looked over quickly.
After observing for a while, Hua Peiling frowned. Chen Ming was a little surprised and said, "Really? There are almost no traces of fighting. Could it be that everything has been absorbed, just like the exit at the canopy?"
"That's not the case."
Lin You shook his head and said, "That's pure energy absorption over there, but here, even if the traces of battle are very faint, they are still there. This means that this place is different in nature, more like the cave wall before, extremely solid and more difficult to break through. Frankly speaking, with our current capabilities, it's almost impossible to break it through with brute force. Even if we can accomplish this, it will require us to expend a tremendous amount of energy. By then, if the situation underground turns bad, we won't just be trapped, but completely destroyed!"
Chen Ming was immediately frightened and trembled as he said, "Then don't be impulsive."
Although he wanted to escape as soon as possible, he couldn't gamble with his life!
It's okay to gamble with your life... The key is that the probability of success doesn't seem to be very good!
The matter of running away requires long-term consideration.
"Then do you have any other ideas for escaping this predicament?"
Hua Peiling obviously does not prefer this kind of waiting approach. If there is an opportunity, she cannot give up trying because of some risks.
"Yes, I do."
Lin You chuckled and said, "Even if this method will work, I'm not sure. I can only take it one step at a time."
"What do you want to do?"
"Simple, make trouble, create a big noise, and make it impossible for the tree to be at peace."
Lin You pretended to be calm and answered leisurely.
Chen Ming felt inexplicably uneasy after hearing these words, and he felt that something big was going to happen.
I couldn't help but say, "If you want to cause trouble, isn't it the same as directly attacking the ground?"
Otherwise, who are you trying to show off to?
According to Lin You's guess, there might be something hidden underground in this huge space, and that thing must be very dangerous, perhaps more strange insects.
So now we need to stimulate them?
Is there any other way besides attacking the ground?
Lin You smiled faintly and said, "Didn't I just say that? If we attack the ground directly, who knows how long it will take?"
"What else can we do?"
"Go up first."
Lin You didn't rush to explain and walked back quickly.
A strange thing happened again. Although the distance seemed very far away, when I walked, I returned to the original place after a short while.
A visual deception!
"I really just stood still."
Although Lin You had guessed it before, Chen Ming was still awestruck at this moment.
This kind of strange thing is not good news. Who knows if similar things will happen again in the future.
At this moment, as soon as he returned to his original place, Lin You immediately flew back to the cave wall with the help of the wind element.
At this time, a rather large hole had appeared on the huge cave wall, which was the masterpiece of the Gunner Dragon during this period.
Returning to the cave was much smoother.
After returning, Lin You took Hua Peiling and the other person to the next cave.
The scene inside the cave was no different from before.
It is still full of black insect eggs, and deep in the cave, you can vaguely see some covered white insect eggs.
What are you doing here?
Chen Ming was a little confused. Aren’t the beetles that hatched from these eggs the scarabs?
And those white insect eggs seem to be related to the strange insects that just appeared.
But even so, what can we do here?
Could it be that he is hoping to kill these insect eggs in the womb and then profit from it?
This is unrealistic. In the egg state, they cannot produce any card souls.
Lin You still didn't explain and walked forward silently.
After walking for a while, his eyes suddenly fell on a certain place.
There, a pile of pitch-black insect eggs was piled up.
After looking for a while, he tilted his head to look at the chestnut ball beside him and asked in his heart, "Little guy, if I remember correctly, there should have been a white insect egg here just now, right?"
"Coolie~"
Chestnut Ball nodded its little head. With its perception, such obvious differences could be easily captured.
Is it really less?
Lin You's eyes changed slightly. In that case, there might be more than one missing.
His eyes turned again, observing as he walked.
After walking for a while, Li Ziqiu confirmed it first.
In the corner of the cave ceiling, among the hanging insect eggs, one was missing.
What is missing...is naturally the white insect eggs.
There were so many black insect eggs that even if Chestnut Ball wanted to remember and identify them, he was powerless.
White insect eggs are different. Although there are many of them, their number is limited, especially some solitary insect eggs.
Of course, when I say it's alone, I mean there are no other white insect eggs around, but there are still quite a few black insect eggs.
As for why these black eggs are clustered with white eggs, there may be no special reason. It is simply because their number is too large and they are somewhat overflowing, which causes this situation.
At this moment, after confirming that the two white insect eggs were lost, Lin You still kept walking forward.
Just like that, I walked all the way to the end before stopping.
During this period, through the perception of the chestnut ball, Lin You came to a surprising conclusion.
There were actually more than a dozen white insect eggs that disappeared!
There may still be some errors, but most of them are no more, no less.
Lin You suddenly fell into deep thought. He had previously thought that the white insect eggs emerging from the ground might be related to the insect eggs here. Now it seems that this is indeed the case.
After thinking about it, he suddenly drove Chimera to attack.
"roar!"
The chimera quickly flapped its wings, mobilizing the wind element and transforming into a large number of wind blades.
These wind blades were not released immediately, but stayed in place, waiting for more wind elements to be injected.
When they are fully filled, these wind blades appear sharper and more aggressive!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
A large number of wind blades rolled out in an instant and fell on the insect eggs in front.
Since this is the end of the cave, the number of white insect eggs gathered here is the largest.
A rough count shows that there are dozens or even hundreds of them!
The enhanced wind blade fell on the insect eggs, causing them to vibrate instantly.
Some cracks appeared on the insect eggs.
Lin You couldn't help but laugh and said, "No matter how strong a creature is, it might be very powerful in its larval stage, but before it's born, it will still be weak!"
These white eggs are suspected to be hatching those strange insects.
As super black star beings, they were trapped in insect eggs, but were injured by just some wind blades.
Judging from the situation, it is not difficult to destroy these insect eggs.
The Chimera quickly launched another round of attacks. While it was attacking, Lin You suddenly looked at Chen Ming and the others and urged them, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and attack those white insect eggs first and clean them up."
Hua Peiling said nothing, silently driving the three harpy girls to attack.
Chen Ming did as he was told, but he looked at Lin You in confusion, with a questioning look in his eyes.
Why bother with these insect eggs?
There is really no benefit in killing insect eggs!
Noticing his gaze, Lin You smiled leisurely and said, "I told you to give the guys down there some food and make some noise. The 'floor' over there is hard to break, but the insect eggs here are like meat on the chopping block. You can cook them however you want."
Chen Ming nodded, seemingly understanding, but quickly shook his head. "What's the point of us controlling these unhatched eggs? Can they even affect those guys down there?"
"Why not?"
Lin You asked curiously, "You saw those strange insects that just emerged from the ground, didn't you? When they were broken into pieces, they were basically junk, and the souls stuck in them were also low-quality. The insect eggs that exploded afterwards were their real stuff. Have you ever thought about where those insect eggs came from?"
Chen Ming was stunned for a moment, then said dully, "You mean, those insect eggs were actually bred in this cave?"
"To be precise, they are low-quality insect eggs."
Lin You corrected him, "Though the ten strange insects we just fought died neatly, two of them left behind intact souls when they shattered. These two are considered the original bodies, while the other eight are like derivatives. How can these derivatives exist independently and even be as powerful as the original bodies? I think it has something to do with the insect eggs here. Maybe these insect eggs are not the biggest factor, but they are most likely a necessary condition. At least for that guy, they are necessary."
"That guy?"
Chen Ming was a little nervous. From the beginning, Lin You had created a group of powerful imaginary enemies for them, and now, they had transformed from a group into individuals.
It seems that the threat has decreased a lot, but in fact, this is what is scary!
What kind of individual has the ability to control everything in the giant tree?
Even without talking about the giant tree itself, this kind of existence is probably at least the best among the super black star levels.
In the dueling world, it is the so-called ace level!
Super black star monsters that have reached the ace level are even more powerful than ordinary red star monsters.
Lin You smiled and said, "As long as we make a mess of this place, I don't believe it can still sit on the Diaoyutai. Then, maybe there will be a way out."
Hua Peiling said thoughtfully, "You mean, if we want to get out of the treetops, we can only go underground?"
"uncertain."
Lin You smiled and said, "But judging from the current clues, this is a more efficient approach."
"Uh... that's Lin You..."
Gu Yi
Chen Ming raised his hand and weakly suggested, "Compared to efficiency, stability is more valuable and worth pursuing, right? If there really is a terrifying monster living underground, and we anger it, wouldn't that be very bad?"
"Yeah, I want to be safe too."
Lin You nodded seriously and asked, "Then I wonder if Senior Chen Ming has a practical and reliable plan?"
"Well..."
Chen Ming said embarrassedly: "Not yet, but we can put our heads together and we can always come up with a solution."
"Then maybe our energy will be exhausted before we can figure it out."
Lin You said calmly, "Besides, I don't really like this kind of waiting for miracles. Waiting any longer may not necessarily lead to good results, and may even lead to greater disasters. In this case, time is precious, so it is better to act according to systematic judgment. What do you think, Senior Chen Ming?"
“…That’s right.”
Chen Ming sighed in his heart, but he really had no other clue.
I have visited several caves and walked all the necessary paths. The remaining paths are either dangerous or dead ends.
Now it seems that even if we are extremely reluctant, we have no choice but to take the risk.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and asked his suit-wearing man to join the team to destroy the insect eggs.
As for the Chimera and the three Harpy sisters... they never stopped and were always doing their work.
This also means that Lin You’s thoughts have never wavered from beginning to end.
At this moment, with the joint efforts of the three super-black star-level fighters, the degree of fragmentation of those insect eggs increased rapidly.
It wasn't long before the eggs were destroyed.
The destroyed insect eggs exploded directly into white powder. Seeing the white powder, Lin You became more convinced of his guess.
These insect eggs are indeed related to the strange insects that were derived just now.
If it was a normal insect egg, how could it turn into a ball of powder like this after it exploded?
Of course, it may also be that these insect eggs are special. After all, this is a secret place, so some strange things are not surprising.
But no matter what, this does not hinder Lin You's conclusion on the matter.
Seeing the insect eggs explode, Chen Ming couldn't help but look around, wanting to see if anything unexpected would happen.
After observing for a while, I didn't find anything special.
He couldn't help but look at Lin You.
What's going on?
It seems that this method did not work either.
Lin You remained silent, still calmly watching the three super black star fighters destroy the insect eggs.
At the same time, a dull sound of footsteps was heard behind him.
It's the Gunner Dragon coming over.
It looks like it has conquered the cave wall on the other side.
However, at this time, whether or not to conquer the cave wall is not the key.
The current task is to destroy the insect eggs.
When Gunner Dragon came over, he didn't show any mercy and started a barrage of attacks.
With it, the efficiency of destruction increases every minute.
How could those insect eggs withstand such bombardment?
Not only the white eggs, but also many black eggs were shattered by the aftermath of the bombing.
But what’s interesting is that after these black insect eggs are broken and blown into powder, a lot of feces-yellow juice splashes out.
Lin You was a little surprised when he noticed this.
So, these scarab beetle eggs are actually genuine?
Or is this only the case around the white insect eggs?
Thinking of this, Lin You quickly verified this point and asked Chimera to cut an insect egg in the distance.
Those insect eggs are completely different from the white insect eggs here, and there are no independent white insect eggs to be seen nearby.
However, after the insect eggs exploded, feces-yellow juice could still be seen splashing out.
And because the shattering is not so tragic, the splashing is more obvious.
Lin You was suddenly shocked.
"Have you discovered anything else?"
Hua Peiling noticed the change in his expression and immediately asked.
It was obviously no small matter that could make him show such an expression.
Lin You nodded slightly, and with his finger he circled the dark insect eggs in the cave, sighing, "The scarab eggs here, and the scarabs that hatch from them, are most likely the real scarabs!"
When he first entered the cave, he was surprised by the scene here, but he still had doubts at that time, thinking that the number of scarabs that actually hatched was too small.
After seeing through the true nature of those strange insect derivatives, I thought that the proliferation of these scarabs was probably caused by derivatives, but it turned out not to be the case!
Hua Peiling clearly understood what he meant, and her expression changed slightly as she said, "I wonder how so many scarabs were bred."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Chen Ming was a little puzzled. What was hatched here was a scarab, wasn't that something that was confirmed at the beginning?
Why are you talking about this again?
But if all these scarabs were to hatch...
When Chen Ming thought of that scene, his scalp tingled, and he suddenly felt that destroying these insect eggs was the right thing to do.
Although it is not possible for these insect eggs to hatch so quickly, it is not so coincidental that they all hatch at this time.
But this is a secret place after all. The giant trees can swallow people and leave them helpless. Maybe these scarabs will really appear suddenly.
It is better to kill them all as soon as possible to prevent the problem from happening!
Bang, bang, boom!
The roar continued to spread, and the number of insect eggs began to decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Before long, more than half of it was lost.
But there was still no unusual movement, which made Lin You frown. He suddenly shouted, "Chimera, sweep away these black insect eggs."
Changed the target of attack!
While continuing to attack the white insect eggs as usual, the black insect eggs were targeted on a large scale!
Chimera immediately mobilized a large amount of wind elements, transforming into a swift and fierce gale.
This is not the end. After the strong wind, dozens of wind swords condensed and suddenly cut away.
As the wind raged, a large number of black insect eggs showed obvious cracks, and some could not bear the weight and broke first.
Those that had not yet been broken had no chance at all. The Wind Blade that followed closely behind became an even more brutal killing weapon, like a wolf among a flock of sheep, wantonly destroying those black insect eggs.
Although the number of black insect eggs was overwhelming, they were still significantly reduced after being destroyed in this way.
If they continue to be attacked like this, complete collapse is not impossible.
However, just as those wind swords had exhausted their wreaking havoc and Chimera was about to attack again, an extremely harsh sound wave still rang out!
The sound wave came so suddenly that even the little guy couldn't catch it in advance. Therefore, the moment it sounded, Lin You and the other two had no way of warning.
At this moment, the eardrum was severely concussed and the soul barrier continued to work.
Lin You and the other two hurriedly covered their ears and put magic power into their ears.
The harsh feeling finally subsided a lot.
Chen Ming said with a look of horror: "What was that sound just now? I thought my ears were going to be pierced."
This is not an exaggeration; in fact, the consequences are understated.
If it weren't for the powerful protective power of the soul barrier, the ears of the three people would have bled profusely, been disabled on the spot, or even exploded directly.
You can tell this by looking at Chimera. Even these super-black star-level fighters can't help but close their ears.
However, after experiencing such a thrilling incident, Lin You showed a bright smile, "Finally, I can't sit still anymore. It seems that the guy behind the scenes is not so indifferent."
As he spoke, he looked at Chimera with a clear look in his eyes: "Increase the intensity!"
Chimera was not vague either. After adjusting for a moment, he quickly summoned the wind element again.
The three Harpy Sisters were not to be outdone. They were all experts in playing with the wind element. Her awakening level was even higher, so there was no reason for her to be left too far behind.
Seeing them quickly recover, Chen Ming was a little confused.
He really wanted to say something, but in the end, he simply stopped talking and looked fierce, which made the man in the suit go crazy.
Gunner Dragon played even harder this time. Not only did he bombard the place with dense small shells, he also used bright red reinforced cannons, as if he would not stop until he had turned the place upside down.
Under such crazy attacks by the beasts, the number of insect eggs in the cave suddenly dropped sharply.
“Hiss—!!”
The sharp sound waves suddenly spread again, and this time, they lasted longer.
However, with the lessons learned just now, even if they could not give an early warning, Lin You and the other two did not turn off the magic in their ears.
Combined with the protection of the soul barrier, the sound waves were still harsh, but within the normal tolerable range.
Not only them, but even Chimera and other super black star fighters closed their ears.
Although doing this cannot completely avoid the harm caused by the sound waves, it is not a big deal.
As for the Gunner Dragon... let alone, even if the sound wave is amplified several times, it will not hurt it.
It won't be affected by this thing at all!
At this moment, I am still firing happily.
The sound wave lasted for a while and then suddenly disappeared on its own.
Everything returned to silence again, except for the sounds of the beasts' attacks that continued.
Chen Ming blinked, and it seemed to have calmed down?
Before he could feel it carefully, his feet suddenly sank.
The originally thick ground suddenly turned into cement, and the three people were caught off guard and fell into it.
Also trapped were Gunner Dragon and the Suit-wearing Fire Man on the ground.
Seeing this, the Chimera and the Harpy sisters in mid-air quickly flew over and tried to pull them out.
But before they could do anything, several people were trapped in it.
The two beasts reacted quickly and rushed in without hesitation.
…
A sticky feeling came over him, and at this moment, Lin You felt as if the surroundings were filled with a mass of paste.
Not only could I not see anything clearly, but I also had some difficulty breathing.
But this feeling didn't last long, and the sticky feeling faded away for the most part.
Lin You suddenly opened his eyes, but the scene he saw shocked him.
What appeared before my eyes was a vast space covered with silk threads and juice.
This space seems to be underground, but it does not appear dark, and the air is filled with the fresh scent of green plants.
The smell was quite refreshing, forming a sharp contrast with this large but messy and dirty space.
But these are not what Lin You is concerned about.
His eyes first fell on a huge insect nest a little further away, where a huge human-faced spider was sleeping.
Moreover, the spider's face was surprisingly that of a woman.
Even when he was sleeping, the aura emanating from his body was extremely terrifying.
Lin You could instantly tell the strength of that aura, which was even stronger than that of the Gunner Dragon beside him!
The guy sleeping here is actually an insect-type secret monster that has only reached the red star level!
Feeling this huge and terrifying aura, Chen Ming was a little scared and his body was shaking.
But suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something, and revealed a look of extreme fear. He pointed with a trembling finger, "That... look at that, that person, that person seems to be... Liu Zao!"
