Tang Mubai also helped.
While busy with work, a seven or eight year old boy suddenly ran out from behind the building in the community and shouted loudly, "It's bad, it's bad, Xiaoxi was caught by bugs!"
"what?"
"What's going on, how did Xiaoxi get caught by the bugs?"
"There are bugs in the back mountain, why didn't I know?"
"Let you boys run to the back mountain all day long, now that you're all well, you're leaving, what a disaster has happened!"
"..."
The few people who happened to move things down heard the screams, either anxious, angry, or reprimanded.
Tang Mubai walked out of the stairs with two big bags at the right time. Hearing these words, he immediately put the bag in his heart, tiptoed, flew in front of the little boy, and dragged him to the back of the mountain.
"Don't worry, everyone, I'll go and rescue him. Kid, show me the way!"
After leaving a word, Tang Mubai pulled the little boy and disappeared in front of everyone.
The little boy who was panicked suddenly felt that he was "floating" on the ground, and was stunned for a while, before he came back to his senses and hurriedly showed Tang Mubai the way.
The two quickly rushed up the "Monkey Mountain" and rushed all the way to the back mountain.
Until it stopped in front of a ruin full of large pieces of rubble, the little boy pointed to a corner densely covered by vines, and said fearfully, "That's... that's where Xiaoxi passed by just now, and was caught by a long worm that suddenly rushed out of it. Caught it in."
"Are you sure it's grabbing, not swallowing?"
Tang Mubai deliberately emphasized the words "catch" and "swallow".
"This..." the little boy hesitated, scratching his head and recalled, "The worm is very fast, I only saw it has very long hands, and then my eyes blurred, and Xiaoxi disappeared."
"...Okay, bugs with arms!"
Tang Mubai took a deep breath, patted the little boy's head, and ordered, "Stand over there, don't come here unless I tell you."
While speaking, Tang Mubai pointed to a statue of a stone monkey with only half of its body remaining more than ten meters behind him.
"Oh."
The little boy ran over obediently, leaning on the stone carving, and looked at Tang Mubai without blinking.
"Big brother, come on!"
He waved vigorously at Tang Mubai.
"Don't worry, I will rescue Xiaoxi."
Tang Mubai responded, squatted down, fiddled with the corner of the ruins full of vines, and found a hole in it.
This is a sloping downward hole, about one and a half meters in diameter.
The vines were pulled away, and a sticky stench suddenly wafted out of the hole.
Tang Mubai bent down and tried, making sure he could enter.
Close your eyes resolutely, concentrate, maximize your perception, use your sixth sense as "eyes", and bend down to get in.
The dark burrow was stained with the slime left by the giant worm when it slid.
That's right, the worms that can take people away can only be giant worms!
The little boy didn't see clearly and thought it was a long worm.
But how could an ordinary long worm capture a child?
Not all giant worms eat people, some giant worms only like to eat wood, or eat stones.
These giant insects capture humans, basically to feed their larvae.
Not only humans, but in fact other animals can also catch, as long as it is discovered.
After being captured, the giant worm will use the bodies of humans and animals as "nutrition nests" and inject eggs into them.
When the eggs hatch into larvae, they will suck the essence of human and animal bodies and grow up quickly!
In other words, Tang Mubai had to find the captured "Xiaoxi" as soon as possible, otherwise, the problem would be serious when the giant worm injected eggs into the opponent's body!
Chapter 040 [Life span increased by 204 years! 】
In the dark cave, Tang Mubai put all his strength on his feet, stepped on the slippery ground, bent down and walked all the way down.
From time to time, I touched the wall of the cave with both hands and turned a few corners.
No way, the sixth sense can sense whether the crisis is approaching in advance, but it is not the real eyes.
And in this dark cave, the passage is not straight down, and turns from time to time.
Fortunately, after walking for a while, Tang Mubai found that the whole passage went deep into the ground in a spiral manner.
Just like the winding mountain road, around the "Monkey Mountain", it starts from the middle of the mountain and goes all the way to the foot of the mountain.
Thinking about it, the "Monkey Mountain" is not very big, with a height of about 100 meters. If there are giant insects infested, they would have been discovered long ago.
There is nothing wrong with this passage now, it should have been dug through by giant worms in recent months!
Knowing it well, Tang Mubai immediately drew the approximate route of the passage in his mind.
For the rest of the journey, you can turn around the corner and walk all the way down without touching the wall with your hands.
A few minutes later, Tang Mubai felt a sudden change in the hardness of the ground under his feet, and there seemed to be no cave wall above his head, so he subconsciously stood up.
"In the end?"
Tang Mubai, who had successfully straightened up, was moved in his heart and tried to open his eyes.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but open my eyes.
The place where he was standing at the moment was indeed no longer in the spiral passage. Behind him was a dark passage, and directly in front of him was an open and spacious underground space.
This underground space is more than 60 meters long, about [-] meters wide, and eight or nine meters high.
In the huge space, light blue cocoons of different sizes are piled up on the central floor. On the corners of the surrounding cave walls, there are strips of two meters long, with a head occupying a quarter of the body, and six tentacles on both sides of the bloated neck. , a giant insect with the thickness of a bucket around its waist, a blue carapace all over its body, and bursts of light.
Yes.
Tang Mubai can see everything in the underground space clearly, thanks to the fact that these giant insects can glow!
"Blue scale slime?"
Tang Mubai, who saw the identities of these giant worms at a glance, was surprised.
Most of the species of giant worms have been figured out by the governments of the countries of the New World long ago, and recorded, in the form of pictures and text descriptions, organized into books for people to read.
Information about some special giant worms was even sent to schools and taught to students by teachers.
Well, after teaching, there will be exams!
The blue scale armyworm is not a special giant insect, but it has more personality.
That's why they love to eat clay!
In addition, the carapace on the body is very similar to scales, so it is named "blue scale slime".
"I like to eat clay..."
Tang Mubai stared carefully at the surrounding cave walls, and found that the soil on the cave walls was indeed somewhat abnormal.
However, it is important to find "Xiaoxi" right now, Tang Mubai didn't look closely, and while walking forward, he directly released the master-level coercion, covering the "blue scale armyworm".
Master-level coercion, covering a range of ten meters!
The sudden invisible coercion made the "blue scale slime" clinging to the corner of the cave wall panic.
These giant worms with great wisdom trembled within the coercion enveloped area, and those outside the enveloped area did not escape, but made a sound of "wheeze, wheeze" and spit blue saliva at Tang Mubai.
"Want to cling to me?"
Tang Mubai chuckled, his figure flashed, and he quickly dodged away.
The saliva spit out by the "blue scale armyworm" has the same sticky force as spider silk, and it is difficult to remove if it is stained.
Tang Mubai dodged with his agility and did not fight back. Instead, he quickly searched all the way until he found a petite figure with a lot of mucus wrapped around his body in a corner.
Grandmaster-level coercion, covering a range of 100 meters!
Horror pressure, like mountains and seas, descended on the heads of all the "blue-scaled slime" in an instant, and these two-meter-long giants exploded immediately.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
The sound of exploding firecrackers echoed in the underground space.
One after another, the thick bodies of the "blue scale armyworms" were crushed to pieces.
[It is found that there is lost vitality, whether to recycle it? 】
"Yes!"
[Vitality +55]
[Vitality +46]
[Vitality +51]
[Vitality +48]
……
In just a moment, Tang Mubai recovered hundreds of vitality.
Thirty or so "blue scale armyworms" were all crushed and exploded. On average, each contract provided 50 vitality.
In addition, the cocoons on the central ground were also crushed, each providing about 10 vitality.
In less than half a minute, Tang Mubai recovered more than two thousand vitality.
Converted into lifespan, an increase of 204 years!
This trip down, earn big!
"Little guy, it seems that you are my lucky star."
Tang Mubai touched the head of Xiaoxi who was in a coma, grinning secretly.
Although the "blue-scaled armyworm" is extinct, as long as the underground clay is not eaten up, another "blue-scaled armyworm" will inevitably come here later.
At that time, Tang Mubai will be able to recover another wave of vitality!
And all of this is because of the little guy in his arms, the underground space that Tang Mubai discovered, isn't the little guy a lucky star?
Of course, according to Tang Mubai's speculation, there should not be much clay around this underground space.
If there were many, they would have been discovered and mined long ago.
Which round to the "blue scale slime" come here to eat!
And there is not much clay, so the number and number of "blue scale armyworms" coming will not be many.
Tang Mubai reckoned that the clay here should be exhausted before the entrance of the cave halfway up the mountain is discovered after the redevelopment of Monkey Mountain!
……
All the "blue scale slime" died, and the underground space returned to darkness.
However, it had no effect on Tang Mubai.
Following the memory, holding Xiaoxi in his arms, he returned all the way along the spiral passage when he came.
When he walked out of the entrance of the cave, Yang Kai, who was full of anxiety, was already waiting outside.
"How, how is it, is Xiaoxi okay?" Yang Kai rushed over, looking nervously at Xiaoxi in Tang Mubai's arms.
"It should be fine."
Tang Mubai replied, "She was captured by the 'Blue Scaled Army Worm'. It took no more than 10 minutes, and there was nothing else on her body except the mucus. The eggs of the 'Blue Scaled Army Worm' must not be injected in time."
"That's fine, that's fine."
Yang Kai let out a breath, relaxed, and immediately startled, exclaiming, "'Blue scale slime'? There's a 'blue scale slime' below?"
"Yes, thirty or so 'blue scale armyworms' are all dead."
Tang Mubai said while walking, "There is a small clay mine under the Monkey Mountain. A lot of the clay has been eaten by the 'blue scale slime', and there is not much left. Well, I can use the remaining clay."
"it is good."
