When you first enter the cave, your vision is very dark, and you need lighting to barely see the path under your feet.
But as we gradually go deeper, a cobblestone path appears in front of us. The stone walls at both ends are inlaid with various luminous crystals, which are as bright as day. Even without lights, you can clearly see the poisonous vines attached to the poisonous ivy.
.
"These Gu insects seem a little different?"
Chen Feng used the flashlight that came with the steel suit to illuminate the Gu insect and found that the light could pass through its body.
The body is jet black and long in shape, exactly the same as the outline of the first generation. There is no difference between the two, but if you squat down and look carefully, you can see a layer of conspicuous red blood attached to the surface.
Gu insects in the past did not have this characteristic.
"Huh? Where did you go?"
Chen Feng was observing, and when he was distracted for a moment, the Gu insect disappeared under his nose.
It just disappeared out of thin air without any warning.
Just when Chen Feng was confused, the soles of his feet automatically created a restricted area, and a sense of pressure suddenly came from his chest. When he looked carefully, he discovered that a film formed by corrosion appeared on the surface of the steel suit.
When the Gu insect is threatened, it will take the lead in entering the invisible state and use its body to build a restricted area. It wants to die with Chen Feng. The blood curse instantly wraps his body, and then the mucus begins to eat the flesh and blood desperately.
Fortunately, the steel suit blocked this fatal disaster for him.
In the restricted area, Gu insects can appear in any form, not just black lines, but also turn into a ball of viscous objects. However, after the Gu insects eat steel, they cannot digest it and are strangled to death. Their bodies remain on the steel suit.
A special flesh film is formed on the surface.
Montgomery soon learned of the changes in the cave. He and these Gu insects were the same life form and could sense the danger signals faced by the other party.
At this time, the Gu insects in the cave sent signals for help. Through the compound eyes of those Gu insects, Montgomery happened to see Chen Feng's figure passing by.
"It seems that a little guy sneaked into my secret base? Don't panic, I'll be back to deal with you right away."
Montgomery stood on the isolated island. In front of him were the waves and rough sea, and he could vaguely see the mast that had not completely sunk.
He set off to leave the island. Without any tools, he could slide his feet on the sea surface. The rolling waves did not affect his progress at all.
Running from the northernmost point of Grenfell to the northernmost point, covering four hundred miles, Montgomery could reach the cave in half an hour with just a pair of feet.
But unfortunately, before he could climb off the cliff, he bumped into Griffin. The two looked at each other. After Montgomery saw the elemental power in Griffin's feet, he determined that he was a strong foreign aid.
Griffin stepped forward and quietly set up a magic circle within a hundred meters. After some snooping, he could clearly feel the intimidation from Montgomery.
Just looking at each other from a distance, simply testing with their senses and eyes, no one dared to launch an offensive rashly.
…
Inside the cave, most of Chen Feng's steel suit had been corroded, and the outermost layer was as soft as wife cake, and would fall off with just a touch of hand.
The corrosion effect is more obvious than that of sulfuric acid.
"This is steel from the 21st world. It can't stop the worms from eating it? It's terrible!"
Judging from the extent of the damage to the steel suit, as long as a similar Gu insect explodes, and another two or three times, it will probably be completely destroyed.
Having learned a lesson and gained wisdom, Chen Feng no longer dared to disturb the Gu insects.
In the cave, these Gu insects are very quiet, as if they have just eaten and are unwilling to move. As long as you don't provoke them intentionally, they will not be attacked.
The deeper into the cave, the brighter the light becomes, and Chen Feng can hear the sound of water splashing from a distance.
"Listening to this movement, it sounds like it's a big guy." Chen Feng swallowed, pulled out the Redbud Knight Sword, lowered his body, and slowly approached the cave.
The blue pool water, reflected in the white crystal, shimmers on the surrounding walls.
"A snake's tail? Could it be Luo Li?"
Chen Feng did not dare to approach easily. Instead, he lay on the edge of the stone wall and observed the movement in the pool.
The first thing that catches the eye is a golden snake's tail, which is constantly slapping the water. Then when I continue to look up, my view is blocked by vines and I can't see the snake's head clearly.
Chen Feng plucked up the courage to step forward and came to the edge of the pool. Luo Lichi, with her delicate body naked, was nailed to the stone wall. Hundreds of Gu worms were eating away at her flesh and blood, greedily sucking the blood.
Her body seemed to be glowing! But the light was completely covered by densely packed Gu insects.
"Chen Feng, is that you?"
Luo Li's eyes were covered with black cloth, but she heard footsteps, which were very light and not like Montgomery's.
"Luo Li, don't move, I'll come to save you right now." Chen Feng jumped into the pool and swam towards Luo Li.
"Don't be impulsive. These Gu insects have sucked my blood. Both their vitality and reproductive ability have been strengthened. They can also communicate with Montgomery. He must already know that you are here at this moment."
Luo Li swung the snake's tail and forced Chen Feng away, "These Gu insects are very ferocious. If they touch you, they will dissolve you in an instant."
"Give me some time and I'll figure it out."
Chen Feng was forced to retreat to the shore to think of a solution. He saw that the Gu insects that had left Luo Li's body were all crawling onto the luminous crystal, like mosquitoes chasing the light at night.
Luo Li's body seemed to be covered with fluorescent substances, presumably to attract the Gu insects in this way.
"Why don't you try this!" Chen Feng took out the flare from his arms and shot it into the water.
The magic flares can still burn even if they sink to the bottom of the water. This dazzling halo quickly attracted the attention of the Gu insects. Not only Luo Li's body, but also the Gu insects on the stone wall rushed to get there.
In the pool, swarms of bees rushed towards the light.
Chen Feng walked around Luo Li from the nearby stone wall, cut off the chains with the Bauhinia Knight Sword, and rescued her to the shore.
"We can't let them go so easily. How many people might be harmed in the future?"
Chen Feng set up Maxim on the shore and fired another signal bomb onto the stone wall directly opposite. The Gu worm followed the light and followed it.
Ta-ta-ta!
Maxim's gunshot rang out, and he fired three thousand rounds of ammunition within four to five seconds. Then he loaded a new ammunition belt and continued to shoot. The Gu insects were crushed by the bullet casings and fell into the pool.
The remaining Gu insects realized the danger and wanted to retreat, but the barrage swept over them again.
"Luo Li, can you still move your legs? If possible, get to the entrance of the cave first. I will completely blast the Gu insect's nest." Chen Feng carried a rocket launcher on his shoulder and stuffed the shells into the bullet holes.
"Well, be careful!" Luo Li used the snake's tail to get out of the cave.
boom!
The cannonball hit the pool, splashing countless water splashes. The high temperature and impact force generated by the explosion instantly burned the poisonous insects, and also triggered an earthquake, causing the cave to collapse, burying all these harmful poisonous insects.
"Chen Feng, hurry up and grab my hand!"
At the moment when the cave collapsed, Chen Feng jumped out and was caught by Luo Li. The snake's tail was wrapped around the pine trees on the cliff.
