The journey went quite smoothly, and Su Fei also killed a swamp lizard nest that was blocking their way, and more than a dozen swamp lizards were chopped into melons and vegetables.
The three of them now have a set of basic experiences on how to fight swamp monsters. From these monsters' steps, tail flicks, and even eyeball movements, they can predict their next attack route.
There are still less than fifty meters to reach today's resting place, and Hu Mang is already getting excited. Looking up close, the tree looks taller than looking at it from a distance, and the thick trunk requires two people to hug each other to surround it.
However, this should be called a rotten tree because its crown has completely decayed.
The original green crown of the tree has also been broken due to the decay of the wood, and the thick trunk has been hollowed out, leaving only a solitary shell of bark still standing there, which looks from a distance as if it has had its hands cut off.
Standing there, people felt chills running down their spines.
Just as Hu Mang was about to run over, Su Fei behind him suddenly grabbed Hu Mang and said, "Don't move yet."
Following the direction pointed by Su Fei's hand, Xie Yufei sensitively discovered that something was wrong with the soil beneath her. It was fluffy and soft, like a piece of bread that had just risen, and there was a little bit of white stuff underneath the fluffy sand.
One foot is exposed and one cannot see what it is.
But the divine eye of insight sees it really clearly.
Those are the pale bones of animals!
"I regret it and step back."
Su Fei greeted Xie Yufei and Hu Mang, and the three of them slowly distanced themselves from the tree. Under Su Fei's instructions, the three of them reached out and picked up the fresh mud at their feet and smeared it on their faces and bodies to cover up their smell. Su Fei
It also took a few minutes to grab a swamp lizard hiding in the mud from the swamp next to it, and threw it towards the big tree with all its strength.
The scene that followed sent shivers down the spines of Su Fei and the three of them.
Just when the swamp lizard was about to hit the tree, a dense buzzing sound erupted from the depths of the tree hole. Countless black flying insects rushed out of the hollow tree trunk, spurting unexpectedly from every hole and even the cracks in the tree trunk.
, the big hollow tree is like a chimney, with thick smoke billowing out.
Not only the tree trunks, but also the seemingly fluffy soil under the trees suddenly shook. Countless black flying insects crawled out of the soil and flew high, dense and endless!
The black flying insects as dense as a black cloud all pounced on the fallen swamp lizard, wrapping him inside and out into a huge black insect cocoon. The swamp lizard weighing several dozen kilograms was actually suspended in the clouds by these black insect clouds.
It was constantly spinning in the air, rising and falling as if floating in water, and the buzzing sound was endless.
At a later moment, these black flying insects suddenly dispersed and burrowed back into the tree holes and the depths of the fluffy soil. The swamp lizard that originally weighed several dozen kilograms now had only an empty shell left, even the still hard ones
The lizard's armor was also riddled with holes, and not a single bit of flesh and blood was left inside.
Even so, when they fell to the ground, there were many smaller black bugs crawling towards the wreckage. They were larvae that had not yet grown wings, and they would further share in this delicious meal that fell from the sky.
The fresh soil obscured the breath of the three people, so the disturbed black flying insects did not find their scent. However, Xie Yufei and Hu Mang still felt their scalps numb when they saw them from behind. Their pretty faces were as white as snow.
"What is this terrifying thing..." Xie Yufei couldn't help but ask Su Fei: "If we are besieged by such a thing, even our Gangfeng Bodyguard probably won't be able to hold on..."
"This thing is called obsidian. It is a very common social insect in swamps. Its living habits are similar to bees and wasps. It is a very powerful carnivorous beetle. Jiang Chao and I specifically mentioned that the "human forbidden zone" is the most inhospitable.
One of them is the obsidian swarm."
"Obsidian is a kind of insect poison in the poison, but it seems that these obsidian swarms have also mutated. The scale of the insect swarm is much larger than what Jiang Chao and I said, the insect body is larger, and the aggressiveness is also
Become stronger.”
Su Fei combined Jiang Chao's fused poison memory with his own to tell Xie Yufei and Hu Mang about the obsidian information.
After all, girls have a natural dislike for bugs, not to mention there are so many of them. Seeing that Hu Mang and Xie Yufei looked extremely ugly, Su Fei patted their shoulders and comforted them: "Let's go around that way.
But there is good news. Generally, obsidian worms are not found in large swamp animals like swamp boas, so you can rest assured."
"But I'm more afraid of this now." Hu Mang cried sadly. She couldn't help but shudder when she thought about these bugs crawling on her body.
The three of them carefully bypassed this tree. Not only that, they also bypassed all other small bushes within a hundred meters, not daring to touch it at all.
According to Jiang Chao's information, obsidian insects are very strictly social insects, but at least three to five insect kings will be produced in each generation. After the old insect king dies, these new insect kings will start a bloody fight. Among them
A new insect king rules over the entire clan.
Most of the losers will be devoured by the new insect king, and a very small number will choose to leave the insect swarm and set up camp elsewhere nearby.
Obsidian is a matriarchal society like bees, and the kings of the insects are all female. Ordinary obsidians are like worker bees in honeybees. They only have the ability to eat, carry, and build nests, but cannot lay eggs and reproduce. The king of insects is
Differently, even if only one insect king survives in the wild, it only takes one clutch of eggs to establish a new population.
However, this also requires a male insect. If you cannot meet a male insect, there is nothing you can do.
Therefore, there may be other small groups of obsidian worms in the bushes near a group of obsidian worms, and Su Fei does not dare to be careless.
After walking forward for about half a kilometer, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Obsidians generally would not fly too far away from their nests unless they were looking for food, so this distance was safe.
Hu Mang was sprinkling himself with sardine powder again. He glanced at one of the sardine forests from the corner of his eye and shouted: "Brother Su Fei, look over there, there are insects!"
Su Fei was shocked at first, but then he thought it was impossible here. Insects hate the smell of sewage. There was no way there was an obsidian nest in this place.
Following the direction of Hu Mang's finger, Su Fei and Xie Yufei looked over and saw a plump obsidian worm lying under a ten-year-old Suozi tree. This obsidian worm was larger than ordinary obsidian worms.
There are many on them, and the abdomen is highly bulging. The shell also has dark green patterns that are different from ordinary obsidian insects.
However, it looked like it was dying. Even the movements of its abdomen seemed weak.
"It's an Insect King!" Su Fei's expression immediately became serious, but after observing for a long time, he picked up a piece of wet mud and threw it to the Insect King. The Insect King did not react and did not scare other ordinary obsidian insects.
"I guess he is the loser of the insect king of the obsidian swarm just now, and was kicked out."
Su Fei looked carefully and saw that the insect king's body was full of scars from the jaws of other obsidian insects.
Waving to Xie Yufei and Hu Mang, Su Fei climbed over there carefully. He walked for two minutes in just ten meters. However, the Insect King seemed to be dying. Even if he found someone approaching, he would only struggle for a few moments before moving.
No.
Su Fei poked the Insect King in front of the Insect King with a picked branch, and the Insect King directly bit the branch with its big jaws with a click. Maybe it was really too weak, and it could have bitten through the hard scales of the swamp lizard.
The jaw actually didn't even bite off a branch, but was hooked by Su Fei as if he was trying to fish.
However, this insect king may have a bad mind and is stubborn. He actually bit the branch and refused to let go.
Su Fei was overjoyed and took out a special glass jar from the Sky Refining Stone. He fished the Obsidian Insect King into the mouth of the bottle with a branch, and then broke off the branches outside the bottle. This Insect King was so single-minded that he could reach the top of the bottle.
Now it is still clinging to the branch that "attacked" it.
"Honey, why are you catching him?" Xie Yufei walked over boldly and looked at the Obsidian King who was still fighting with the branches in the bottle.
Hu Mang also carefully walked around the leaves of Suo Zi and walked closer, his eyes full of doubts.
Su Fei did not answer directly, but took out the dagger from his waist and cut a cut on his index finger, and then used his luck to force a few drops of blood essence from the cut into the bottle.
The moment the blood appeared, the Black Insect King began to squeak like it was on a stimulant. He immediately let go of the branches and spread its wings, trying to rush out of the bottle, but the mouth of the bottle was too small.
His wings couldn't spread out, so he could only spin around anxiously at the bottom of the bottle.
But when Su Fei's blood essence dripped into the bottle, the obsidian king immediately pounced on it and sucked up the blood essence completely.
Su Fei sealed the bottle cap tightly and then said with a smile: "This guy is a good thing. You don't know that this black obsidian insect is also a very powerful one among insect poisons, and usually the Miao people can only use ordinary black obsidian insects."
It’s not like I just use the insect king to make insect voodoo.”
"If trained well, this little guy might be of great use in the swamp."
Hu Mang was startled: "It seems like it will take many years to raise Gu. Brother Su Fei, we won't have to stay here for several more years! Don't scare me!?"
"No, how could it last for several years?" Su Fei was so excited that he pinched Hu Mang's nose. As a result, Hu Mang immediately disliked the dirt on his hand.
"The energy contained in the essence and blood of our cultivation is much greater than that of ordinary people, and the speed of refining Gu is also faster. I only need to feed him the essence and blood every few hours. It doesn't matter to me.
It’s too much consumption, why not do it.”
"But I felt sick when I saw it." Hu Mang muttered.
"Hey, you'll get used to it from now on."
…………
After another two days of trekking, Su Fei and the others finally arrived at this land covered in golden light, and saw the ruins of the surrounding villages.
The three of them split up and searched the entire village. They found many signs of human activities, and they were obviously two groups of people. One of the groups was scattered and had obviously stayed here for a while. The village was full of people left behind after their search.
Mark of.
The other group of people had a strict formation and were extremely targeted, and they did not stay here for too long.
The first wave of people should be Yuan Qinghua, and they are here to use the mark on his body to open the secret realm.
The second wave was Yuan Jie, but judging from the traces left behind, Yuan Jie led a lot of people, and they were all elite. But more clues could not be seen. After all, there were too many people after a rain.
The traces were washed away.
"Husband, come here and take a look at this." Xie Yufei shouted from behind the house.
Su Fei walked around to the back and saw some equipment scattered on the ground, including body armor, helmets, arm guards, boots and torn clothes. Scattered white skeletons were scattered around.
Apparently someone died here and was eaten clean by monsters.
Su Fei bent down and picked up the bulletproof helmet, which still had some sharp scratches on it.
"This is the equipment of the Shadow Guard. I saw it last time in the Dynasty Evernight City." Su Fei threw the things into the quagmire nearby: "I don't know how these people died, but it doesn't look like they encountered obsidian insects.
Or a swarm of monsters.”
Xie Yufei nodded in agreement: "If it were Obsidian, I'm afraid the body armor wouldn't be so complete."
"Whatever it is, we just have to be careful."
Su Fei distributed the silencer of the submachine gun in the Sky Refining Stone to Xie Yufei and Hu Mang: "From now on, let's not separate. Unless there are special circumstances, don't shoot, lest the gunfire cause greater trouble."
The rugged nose twitched slightly, as if sniffing the lingering smell in the air. Unfortunately, nothing was left after the rain: "But where are we going now? We seem to have lost track."
Chapter completed!
