There was some moisture in the corridor, and the incandescent light shone on the cave wall, showing a brownish-red color.
The reason for this phenomenon is that the soil of the Red Earth Continent contains very rich iron and aluminum oxides, and the color is very close to hematite.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
The light, crawling sound of the jointed feet, like drops of water, echoed in the corridor.
At the front of the team is the worker ant with a damaged jaw, then five worker ants, then Chen Xing, and the worker ants and soldier ants behind.
This formation allows Chen Xing to find the target immediately and shoot, thereby reducing the consumption of termites. If you encounter a strong enemy, you can block it and leave room for support or evacuation.
After walking forward for a short distance, the corridor became wider and wider, like the shape of a funnel. The original width of two worker ants side by side became five or six.
Chen Xing slowed down, and the termites also slowed down. The more spacious the place, the more dangerous it is. The size of the creature determines the width of the corridor.
Gradually, the cave wall in front was covered with gray and black. If you look closely, you can see that there are some thumb-sized fungi covering the entire corridor.
Chen Xing lifted up his sleeves and scanned it with a black watch, and bright green fonts quickly popped up on the screen.
[Edible black mushroom (mature stage) calories: 768 calories per 100g]
Yes, this is the famous "life mushroom", with 35% more calories per unit than chocolate. But it was very unpalatable, with a texture comparable to rice bran, so humans who returned to the ground stopped planting it.
He couldn't help but frowned. Could it be that this place directly leads to the underground planting field?
To be cautious, he stopped moving forward and sent only three worker ants to continue the investigation.
After staying in place for more than ten minutes, the worker ants sent to investigate never returned. While advancing and retreating, Chen Xing gritted his teeth and sent out three soldier ants.
Whether it is strength or speed, soldier ants and worker ants are fundamentally different, just like farmers and warriors. It's just that the maturity period of soldier ants is longer and they consume more resources.
In addition, Suna also told him that according to the population memory she inherited, there are "guard ants" similar to "guards", which have more powerful combat capabilities. However, the current Suna is still very weak and cannot be produced.
This time, Chen Xing's order to the soldier ants was: "Bring the enemy back."
"Jiji!"
Not long after, two harsh neighing sounds came from the depths of the corridor. Immediately afterwards, three soldier ants with light yellow carapace on their body rushed out of the darkness and flew over.
Behind them are several red light spots, shaking up and down. Taking a closer look, it turned out to be a giant spider, completely black, with its head covered with dense compound eyes, emitting a faint red light.
"Ta-ta-ta!" "Ta-ta-ta!" "Ta-ta-ta!"
Chen Xing raised his gun and shot, but the bullets hit it, all of them were scratched, leaving only bright sparks.
"Block it!"
Chen Xing shouted hurriedly, and the three soldier ants at the front immediately turned around and rushed back, kicked off their hind legs, and pounced towards the head of the giant black spider.
But as soon as they met, the spider opened its mouthparts full of fangs and bit the first soldier ant's head. With just a "clack" sound, most of the soldier ant's head was broken into pieces, and a large amount of milky white slurry spurted out, killing him.
The two soldier ants at the back showed no fear. One pounced directly on the spider's back and bit hard on the black downy skin. The other burrowed into the spider's abdomen and bit one of its hind legs.
At the same time, several termites quickly passed by Chen Xing and pounced on him.
Chen Xing stood up straight, held the gun in both hands, concentrated his energy, and launched "charged shooting".
The crystal star sand flew out and suspended in the dark corridor, flickering in and out, sinking and floating.
"Chi chi chi chi!" "Chi chi chi chi!"
The battle between termites and black spiders was fierce, and in the blink of an eye, another worker ant was killed. His stomach was bitten open, and white liquid flowed all over the floor. But it still dragged half of its body, desperately biting one of the spider's front legs, and refused to let go.
"Da da da!"
During the fierce battle, a blue light suddenly flashed from behind, and three blue bullets shot out across the air, hitting the black spider's abdomen one after another. A hole as big as a bowl was opened immediately, and dark green liquid was mixed with broken insect shells. gush out.
The black spider let out a miserable scream and became extremely violent. In the blink of an eye, it threw away the two worker ants and bit them.
When Chen Xing saw this, he threw away the gun, rushed to the side of the black spider, took out a grenade, pulled the tab, and stuffed it into the spider's wound.
"withdraw!"
Chen Xing shouted loudly and quickly rolled to the side. When the termites heard his order, they immediately gave up their target and gathered around him.
"Bang!"
The next moment, the black spider's abdomen expanded rapidly, and with a muffled sound, the carapace fragments shattered, and a large amount of slurry splashed out.
"Chi chi chi chi!"
The black spider screamed in agony, half of its body twitching on the ground, and the sharp claws of its legs caused the soil on the cave wall to slide off. Chen Xing pointed at it mercilessly, and the termites immediately pounced on it, opened their sharp claws, and tore it into pieces.
When the black spider completely stopped moving, Chen Xing scanned it with a black watch.
[Crypt Wolf Spider (Elite)]
[Vitality: 96/96]
[Innate abilities: Bite, Wolf Spider Toxin (making the target weak), Resilient Fuzz]
[Viruses that may be carried: none]
Seeing Black Spider's data, Chen Xing couldn't help but take a breath. Elite level ones are so difficult to deal with. If they encounter leader level ones, they will be in big trouble.
To be on the safe side, Chen Xing asked the worker ants to drag the corpse back and wait until he brings more soldier ants next time before exploring.
"Chi chi chi chi!"
Fortunately, he made this decision. As soon as the worker ants dragged the body into the relatively narrow ant tunnel, several insect sounds were heard in the distance.
I saw dense red dots swarming in the darkness, making people's scalp numb. Chen Xing smashed out the explosive grenade on his body, directly destroying the front section of the corridor.
Then, he asked the worker ants to dig down several spots to prevent the spiders from digging up the soil. Five soldier ants were also allowed to burrow into the cave wall to hibernate, lurking here as surveillance.
Finally, he returned to the incubation room with the remaining termites and four spider corpses.
The worker ants quickly dismembered the body, and a white crystal was delivered to Chen Xing's hands.
[Physique & Energy Crystal (Crypt Wolf Spider Elite), about 22 grams]
[Market price estimate: 22~24 gold coins (World Bank)]
“Wow, it’s delicious~”
A cheerful cry came from above his head. Chen Xing put away the crystal core and looked up. Suna was holding the head of the tarantula, licking the dark green slurry inside, all over her face.
Chen Xing's stomach turned when he saw it. At this time, Suna noticed his gaze, leaned down, and handed over the head of the wolf spider with her slender feeding legs.
"Brother, it's delicious. Do you want to eat it?" Su Na asked innocently. The originally beautiful face was covered with dark green liquid, and the eyes were shining with a bright green light, like an evil ghost, which was both penetrating and full of strange beauty.
"I'm not hungry, you can eat." Chen Xing said.
"Then I'm welcome~" Su Na picked up the head of the wolf spider again, stretched it in from the neck, and made a "tsk, tsk, tsk" licking sound.
Chen Xing stared at her, and gradually, his eyes moved downward...
Although it is young, it is not small in scale. The crystal on the tip of the bamboo shoots firmly attracted his gaze like a magnet.
An inexplicable heat hit him, and Chen Xing narrowed his eyes.
"come over."
Chen Xing ordered.
"ah?"
Su Na moved the wolf's head away and looked at Chen Xing blankly, as if she didn't understand what he meant.
"I asked you to come over."
Chen Xing increased his tone, his eyes glowed fiercely, and his attitude was unquestionable.
"oh……"
Although she didn't understand what he meant, Suna still leaned down and moved over.
