After entering the blue hole, Ye Yuan tried his best to stay away from the sleeping 'centipede'.
Although he had just used his senses to control the camera to shoot at close range, it did not alarm them.
But who knows whether these guys rely on their sense of smell to identify their surroundings.
Once you get close, if these beetles suddenly attack you, that will be troublesome, right?
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Ye Yuan swam down cautiously.
Finally, after being fifty meters away from the centipede, I felt relieved at that moment.
Only then did he have time to observe the condition of the cave wall.
It doesn't matter if you don't observe. This sight made Ye Yuan's scalp feel numb.
On these stone walls, there are densely packed beetle corpses.
Generally speaking, there are hundreds of thousands of them.
Although not as spectacular as the insect swarm above.
But such a large number of beetle corpses is also very shocking, okay?
Holding back his inner discomfort, Ye Yuan observed the structure of the blue hole.
He was glad at the moment that he didn't have trypophobia, otherwise just what he saw in front of him would have made him want to turn around and leave.
As Ye Yuan went deeper and deeper, he also noticed something strange.
That is this blue hole, which is actually cone-shaped.
In other words, the further down you go, the narrower the cave walls become.
If we speculate based on the situation in front of us, wouldn't the real bottom of the cave only accommodate one person standing?
In order to prove his guess, Ye Yuan accelerated his downward speed.
As he went deeper, Ye Yuan discovered that the number of beetle corpses around the cave wall was also decreasing.
With the number of beetle corpses decreasing, he was finally able to see clearly the condition of the cave wall.
The cave walls here are different from ordinary seafloor rocks.
Through perceptual observation, the rock on the cave wall is likely to be a rare ore.
As for what kind of mine it is, Ye Yuan doesn't know.
However, he was certain that it was definitely not a common ore such as iron ore or copper ore.
After all, he has Zhang Wuwu, a second-generation mine friend.
Ye Yuan has also learned about some ores over the years.
Although he is not very professional, he still knows more than ordinary people.
That's why he had this illusion.
Otherwise, come down as a person who has never seen the original mine.
He doesn't pay any attention to the ores on the cave wall.
As Ye Yuan went deeper, the situation at the bottom of the cave became clearer and clearer.
When Ye Yuan saw the bottom of the cave under his feet, which was densely filled with beetles, he felt goosebumps all over his body.
Beetles one after another have completely filled the bottom of the cave.
It was precisely because of this large number of beetles that Ye Yuan could not reach the bottom of the cave at all.
At the same time, he also couldn't figure out what secrets were hidden at the bottom of the cave.
If you want to go deeper, you need to clear away all the beetles in front of you.
With Ye Yuan's current mental strength, there is no problem in maintaining this in-depth use of perception.
But in such a seabed, it is very dangerous to use mental power on a large scale.
Once his mental energy is exhausted here, it will bring him unimaginable consequences.
It has been said before that Ye Yuan's mental power will weaken as he goes deeper.
And this blue hole, for some reason, was naturally repulsive to Ye Yuan's mental power.
In other words, although Ye Yuan is now at a depth of 500 meters in the sea.
But the actual pressure brought by the outside world on his mental strength has the effect of being thousands of meters deep under the sea.
This is also the reason why he dare not let go and collect these beetles at the moment.
Once your mental energy is consumed too much, it's really no joke.
Although I came down this time, I didn't understand the situation at the bottom of the cave.
But it’s not without gain.
At least, he had a general idea of the number of beetles at the bottom of the cave.
Infer from the picture transmitted back by perception.
Although he couldn't be too precise, Ye Yuan was certain that the number of beetles below was definitely several times that of the ones above.
There are already millions of beetles up there.
And there are so many more down there.
Doesn't it mean that the number of beetles in this blue hole is at least tens of millions?
Maybe even over 100 million?
After receiving this answer, Ye Yuan felt that the temperature of his body dropped several degrees.
This answer was the last thing he wanted to see.
A beetle may be enough of a threat to ordinary people.
But for Ye Yuan, it was really not enough.
But what about ten thousand?
What about a million?
What about ten million?
Although Ye Yuan can collect the surrounding single beetles in an instant.
But don't forget that Ye Yuan also consumes mental energy when collecting items.
Moreover, for living creatures, the consumption of mental energy is often several times that of dead creatures.
If Ye Yuan faces countless beetles attacks.
No matter how strong his mental power is, there will be times when it is completely exhausted.
It's scary just thinking about it.
This also made Ye Yuan certain.
That is, this matter cannot be accomplished by relying on one's own personal superpowers.
It seems that the previous idea was not wrong.
The upcoming insect disaster will still rely on the power of the body.
It was simply a fantasy for him to fight against such a huge number of beetles on his own.
Even if his current mental power is enhanced several times.
In front of this huge base, he can only be the younger brother.
After reaching this conclusion, Ye Yuan did not act rashly.
He was also afraid of accidentally disturbing the numerous beetles below.
Once the beetles swarm attack.
Then he really has no choice but to hide in space. This is the only way he can go.
To be on the safe side, he carefully followed the cave wall back toward the original path.
Some people may say that Ye Yuan is too cowardly.
But you have to know that once some creatures form a certain number, they are really not something that a single entity can fight against.
Just like a very common ant.
Ordinary people can end its fragile life with just a tap.
But if an ordinary person faces an attack from millions or even tens of millions of ants.
You can understand such a scene just thinking about it, right?
At this moment, Ye Yuan was also faced with this choice.
Although he can take the beetles into the space one by one.
But if you want to clean up the beetles in this cave.
Not to mention him, even the robot would be exhausted, okay?
This was also the reason why Ye Yuan retreated.
He really wanted to nip this insect plague in the bud.
But people who know they can’t do something but do it.
Maybe, but it definitely wouldn't be Ye Yuan.
When I went back, I was not as nervous as when I came.
But at this moment, Ye Yuan's mood was extremely heavy.
If there are millions of beetles, Ye Yuan is still optimistic.
When he saw the tens of millions of beetles in the cave, he felt a sense of despair.
Unless Professor Su and the others can develop something that is lethal to beetles on a large scale.
Otherwise, Ye Yuan wouldn't even dare to think about it.
Because he knew that if this kind of beetle was reported by Xu Hang,
Then some people will do something to this sea area.
This is also the reason why Ye Yuan did not take pictures of the situation at the bottom of the cave.
Because he does not want the sea area where he lives to become a dead sea in order to eliminate these beetles.
If that were to happen, wouldn't Ye Yuan's two years of hard work have been wasted?
The fishing ground was developed with great difficulty, and the underwater world became more beautiful because of the fishing ground.
In addition, he and Zhang Wuwu invested a lot of energy and money to create an underwater tourism theme park.
All of this will end in failure.
Thinking of this, Ye Yuan's heart ached for no reason.
Although as long as Huangyuan Technology is there.
He doesn't care at all about the little financial loss he loses.
But you have to know that in all of this, Ye Yuan not only invested money, but also invested a lot of energy.
And because of this, it has also solved the employment problems of many local people in Pinghai.
If all this is lost due to an insect plague.
That's right for Pinghai County, a newly developed county.
It's going to be a huge hit.
Ye Yuan's biggest wish is to get his hometown out of its previous poverty.
Although I am not doing enough now, at least because of my efforts, Pinghai is no longer the last county in Landao.
And these are what Ye Yuan is most proud of.
Don't look at it. He almost stays at home and rarely cares about outside things.
But he has always been very concerned about the changes in Pinghai County.
Otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to participate in some charity activities after Pinghai suffered the tsunami, and not only donated a huge amount of money himself.
He also brought back a lot of money for Pinghai at the charity auction.
If it were not for the fact that these are beneficial to the development of Pinghai.
With Ye Yuan's character, how could he attend such a boring party?
From this point, it can be seen that Ye Yuan still cares about his hometown very much.
Although some people here did break his heart.
But there were still some people who gave Ye Yuan a lot of warmth.
Especially those old neighbors in Yejiacun.
In Ye Yuan's memory, he had given him a lot of help.
Even during the most difficult years for his family.
Many people in the village also helped his family.
This is also the main reason why Ye Yuan wants to lead the villagers to get rich.
But all this has just begun.
It will be destroyed because of the insect plague that is about to happen in front of us.
Ye Yuan absolutely cannot accept this.
This is also the reason why Ye Yuan is satisfied with the conditions at the bottom of the cave.
He believed that once some people knew the real situation below.
Those people will definitely take some extreme measures because they don't want the situation to escalate.
And these are what Ye Yuan least wants to see.
The beetles may be eliminated, but the cost of extreme measures is to destroy Pinghai's newly built road to wealth.
Except for Ye Yuan from Blue Hole, he was not in a hurry to leave.
Instead, he was suspended in the sea water at the entrance of the cave, staring quietly at the exit of the blue hole.
Ten minutes later, another group of beetles swam out from the exit of the blue hole.
Before the beetles could disperse, Ye Yuan waved his hand, and more than a dozen beetles were easily collected into the space by him.
Although he knew that the beetles he collected were nothing compared to the huge base below.
But he did it anyway.
The purpose of this is to delay the attribute speed of the red beetle.
He knew very well that before the red beetles awakened, these beetles would not cause much harm to the waters around Blue Island.
This conclusion was reached through his observations over the past two days.
Since he couldn't deal with the beetles at the bottom of the cave, what he could do was to prolong the awakening time of the red beetles.
I hope Professor Su and Xu Hang will not disappoint themselves.
Think of a way to deal with the red beetles before they wake up.
What if a solution to millions of beetles was developed.
The tens of millions down there are easy to deal with.
He firmly believes that once a method to kill beetles on a large scale can be solved, some people will no longer take extreme measures.
At that time, the sea area of Blue Island can be truly saved.
And he had a vague suspicion that the beetles were not as harmful as they seemed.
Because after two days of observation, the shell of this beetle is incredibly hard.
Maybe this has something to do with them eating the rare ores they saw before.
Now Ye Yuan has woken up from the previous panic.
Recall what you just saw at the bottom of the cave.
At that time, I was just shocked by the huge number of beetles.
Thinking back now, weren't there many beetles eating that unknown ore at that time?
Since they eat ore, why do they need to swim out of the cave to eat?
Couldn't the ore provide the energy they needed?
But if this is true, then what are they doing eating ore?
Ye Yuan could not think clearly about these issues at all.
In order to prove his guess, Ye Yuan gritted his teeth, returned to the cave again, and carefully collected some ore samples from the cave wall.
In order not to make any noise and alert the beetles, Ye Yuan carefully used the alloy dagger to collect on the cave wall.
As a result, it will take him longer than usual.
After all, although the dagger is strong, it is not easy to knock off a small piece of the entire ore.
Occasionally, a beetle would swim up from below, and he would easily put it into the space.
As for those weak beetles that climbed down from above, Ye Yuan was even less polite.
Although he was picking mineral samples in the middle of the cave.
It doesn't stop him from hunting the beetles that go out for supplies.
In this way, with Ye Yuan's continuous efforts, there was already a small pile of ore samples in the space.
Calculating the time, it was already the time he and Ding Yi had agreed upon.
Looking again at the dark depths of the cave, Ye Yuan finally chose to leave.
There was nothing he could do, even though it seemed like he could stay and continue counting the beetles that were out for supplies.
But he is a human being after all, he can't be here 24 hours a day, right?
Even if he wanted to delay time, he still needed to rest.
He also needs to be in a full state to face the insect disaster that is likely to happen next.
Even if Xu Hang and others research something, it is very likely that he will only be the one to execute it.
Regarding this point, Ye Yuan never thought about using his hands on others.
After all, his greatest advantage is his ability to move under the sea.
If it were someone else, don’t say whether they can complete the task.
Even whether we can enter the blue hole is still unknown.
