Borer Cave

Borer Cave

Xicheng Ice and Snow World Theme Park covers an area of ​​550 acres. It mainly focuses on indoor skiing and snow games, supplemented by accommodation, catering, and recreational facilities. It is a well-known local entertainment place in Xicheng and is also quite popular in Shu.

.

But now, the park is temporarily closed and the Special Investigation Bureau has taken control of the place.

Of course, the park is not isolated from the outside world. Unlike Baiyu Mountain, this operation will be concentrated underground. According to the unified caliber in advance, the Cheng Group announced that "traces of ancient mausoleums were found under the ice and snow theme park."

In order to show off, the Special Bureau also hired park employees to do odd jobs such as delivering meals and cleaning.

Anyway, the only connection to the underground cave is pit No. 4. It is covered by a fence and the plane cannot see what is going on, so it is very safe.

However, it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. The closer to the No. 4 pothole, the more armed forces it will have.

Xia Jinyan stood on the inside of the ticket office, glanced at the huge cloth in the distance, and didn't go any further.

He was wearing loose dark sportswear today and hung the Cheng Group employee pass given to him by Zhou Tianzuo around his neck. The soldiers standing guard at the entrance just checked the pass as a routine and let him pass.

However, even if it started smoothly, Xia Jinyan did not head to Pothole No. 4 rashly.

The patrolling guards with guns are by no means a decoration. After learning about the existence of the Borer and the Special Bureau, Xia Jinyan knew that if he made an extreme move here, the other party would really shoot!

He pretended to pick up garbage on the lawn and walked along the edge of the park. When he reached a remote place, Xia Jinyan kicked his feet, like a civet cat, and climbed up to a large tree with thick leaves.

"What a good thing..."

Xia Jinyan rubbed the gray ring.

Although it is only the lowest level ring used by trialists, it still allows Xia Jinyan to be as light as paper and lift objects ten times his own weight at will. More importantly, he can also use three "small spells".

"Monster Hunting", "Blue Thunder Armor", "Five Elements Avoidance"!

These three spells imprinted in the ring are the trump cards of each trialist. They can be used a limited number of times and can be used about seven times in total.

Xia Jinyan touched the ring and whispered:

"Looking for monsters."

The ring emitted a stream of light, which circled around Xia Jinyan, and then plunged diagonally into the soil.

"It's a classic hiding place for evil creatures underground."

He jumped down from the tree lightly and looked around for a few times. The tester's ring improved people in all aspects. Xia Jinyan could now lift nearly a ton of weight. His dynamic vision, nerve reflex speed, and healing ability were also improved.

Strengthened to an inhuman level.

No one noticed this, Xia Jinyan half-knelt on the ground, stretched out his hand to touch the soil, and activated the "Five Elements Avoidance".

The soil beneath him suddenly disappeared, revealing a deep hole about the same size as him.

Xia Jinyan inserted his fingers into the inner wall of the deep hole and slid down at a constant speed.

This slide lasted for about two minutes. In the darkness, the resistance from his fingers suddenly disappeared. As Xia Jinyan had expected, his limbs spread out like a spider, hanging upside down on the rock.

Although his eyes, which had been strengthened by the trialist's ring, could not see as clearly as night vision goggles, he could still barely capture the general appearance of this underground space with the little bits of sunlight coming from the top of the deep cave.

It is roughly square in shape, with a side length of about one to two meters, but the length is endless. There are countless forks that extend in all directions, and its complexity is as complex as any ant nest on the earth.

But the size of the two is absolutely different. To put it simply, ant nests are usually within 1 to 3 meters from the ground, but Xia Jinyan has already fallen more than a thousand meters just by coming here.

"Sure enough, the eating borer has become a climate here."

Xia Jinyan sighed and recalled the knowledge Lao Yu taught him.

"The Borer comes from the Abyss of Annihilation and is a creature with evil thoughts."

"You can think of it as a ghost, an evil spirit, an invisible and intangible pest."

"Except for extraordinary people or ordinary people using extraordinary props, others will never be able to see it or harm it."

"The gnawing borer devours the [source matter] of a world by inhabiting inorganic matter and even living beings."

"Remember, this kind of devouring occurs at the [spiritual] level. In other words, when the gnawing borer eats the mountains and rivers, it does not really eat the soil and drink the water. The mountains and rivers in the macro world have not changed, at least in appearance.

so."

"But sometimes, borers will devour soil and rocks and build huge underground mazes."

"That means that there are too many borers, and the quantitative change leads to a qualitative change. They build borer dens, release pollutants and borer toxins on living things, and breed... the borer queen."

"This trial is a cleanup mission. The so-called cleanup means killing them all. No one will be left alive, including borers and queens!"

"The time limit I gave you is ten days."

"The next time we meet, you have only two options, either to have your ring taken away, or to become a true apprentice."

In the dim cave, Xia Jinyan thought about Lao Yu's words.

"There are seven days left, that's enough."

He pursed his lips and crawled along the cave.

Although this posture is inelegant, it is most suitable for fighting in a narrow place, and the larger the contact area between the skin and the soil and rocks, the keener Xia Jinyan's senses will be. After all, it is too dark here, the eyes are almost useless, and the hearing and

The sense of touch becomes the most sensitive thing.

He kept crawling forward, and only ten minutes later, there was a distant vibration in the soil beneath him.

Xia Jinyan put his ear to the ground and heard the faint sound of human voices.

"It's the Special Investigation Bureau..."

He estimated the opponent's position, turned around and crawled towards another fork in the road.

The Special Investigation Bureau launched its operations much earlier than him and had sufficient manpower. Every kilometer Xia Jinyan advanced, he would encounter soldiers sneaking into the Borer's Cave.

He kept memorizing the other party's location and constantly exploring the nest.

Gradually, a map appeared in Xia Jinyan's mind. This map was composed of countless intertwined lines, and most of it was covered by thick fog.

As time goes by, the area of ​​dense fog becomes smaller and smaller.

Xia Jinyan consciously stayed away from the area where the Special Investigation Bureau was located, and explored the unknown in the distance.

Although collective action is safe, it is still much faster to explore in the dark borer cave alone.

He moved away from the starting position and moved deeper alone.

One thousand meters, two thousand meters, four thousand meters...

Xia Jinyan estimated that he had already left the confines of Yucheng and was approaching the hilly area outside the city, becoming more and more remote and farther and farther away from the ground.

The traces of the Special Investigation Bureau have completely disappeared. Obviously, this is an area they have not yet explored.

Finally, after another two hours, Xia Jinyan arrived at the destination of his trip.

It was a huge and wide underground cavity, and in the center was a huge heart that was a hundred meters long. It was beating, and every time it beat, it would stir up strong winds. Around the heart, there were many animated statues, wooden horses and dolls.

The hundred-meter-long heart is made up of countless black biting borers, which are constantly squirming and supporting the core of the heart.

"The queen borer hasn't hatched yet."

Xia Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief, and stood up straight facing the endless insects and activated dead objects.

It is the instinct of the borer race to raise borers in their nests. Theoretically, they will not be interrupted by anything unless...

Xia Jinyan bit his finger and let the spiritual blood roll down.

...unless, there is something to eat.
