Pixel Maniac in the Comic World

Chapter 216 The terrifying venom slime

I don’t know how long the monster is. The entire passage does not maintain the same diameter as when entering the cave entrance. After about forty meters in depth, the size that could originally allow a person to stand suddenly reduced by half.

There was a large circle of strange mucus clinging to the soil around the narrow opening that was no longer big enough for Terry to pass through.

The light potion that had been lying in the inventory for an unknown period of time finally came into use. At this moment, in order to avoid being contaminated with any unclean things, Terry had already displayed the fire protection suit on the appearance layer, exuding a soft golden shimmer. .

Taking advantage of this light, I squatted on the ground, rolled up some mucus, and rubbed it with my fingers.

"I can't tell if it's the same substance as the one in the sample..."

After Terry temporarily removed the Nebula Dew and lost his resistance to toxins, the mucus finally reacted with his armor, and there was a sizzling sound on his fingertips.

It's just that because Terry's defense is too high, this corrosiveness cannot penetrate his armor.

Terry reinstalled the accessories and collected some mucus samples using the reagent tubes he had brought with him in advance. Then Terry looked at the transitional opening, which was more than half the diameter smaller.

After reporting the findings here through the communication device, Terry quietly stayed in the narrow opening and waited for a while.

"It was not easy to judge before, but now we have some guesses."

The Science, Strategy and Defense Bureau also quickly gave their opinions. After all, the hole was less than three feet. Even if Terry continued to walk down, the too narrow passage would make it difficult for him to use his abilities.

"You mean, if I don't wear any protective clothing and get swallowed by that thing, in a minute or two I'll be gone?"

"Well, this kind of digestive juice will unscientifically increase the corrosion rate and corrosion rate as the volume increases and the digestion time increases. Can you now visually detect the reduced hole diameter?"

"But I didn't see any bones left over after eating."

Terry stared at the narrow opening seriously and gestured with his hands, his tone obviously not so sure.

So he just touched excrement?

Although he had seen a lot and had even 'fighted' against an alien as powerful as Superman, Terry still felt a slight chill running down his spine.

"So that thing was able to capture the cattle raised on the pasture in the end, and it was dragged to this location for digestion? When the food is finished, it can then hide in a deeper place, and the hole here will be a lot smaller."

"Less than three feet."

Terry looked around with the faint light emitting from his body, then reached out to clasp the broken soil around the cave wall, frowning deeply.

It can only be said that having a backup force is really convenient. Terry shook his arm violently to shake off the mucus on his fingers, and then looked up.

"That's what it means. Our advice is that you can evacuate now."

"This volume, according to the formula we have simply deduced, its digestive juices are enough to corrode the hardest human tibia to the point where there is no residue left in two minutes. The same is true for cattle."

"This kind of mucus should be the digestive fluid of the underground monster. The reason why the passage above is so wide is because the monster opened it to drag the captured prey underground for digestion."

Not long after, the voice of a researcher from the Science and Strategy Defense Agency came through the headset.

"Yes, this conjecture is completely consistent with our current inferences."

According to the transcripts of the previous caller and the traces of on-site investigation and evidence collection, although the underground monster is not very big, it can quickly burst out with a pulling power of at least more than 15,000 pounds.

If you were more cautious, considering that the animals raised in the pasture were captured and taken away by the monster without any sound, it is estimated that it could exert more than 7,000 Pa of winding force on the prey like a jungle python.

As an enhanced person whose overall comprehensive quality exceeds that of Captain America, Terry may not be afraid of such monsters when fighting on the ground, but if he is in a narrow passage that can only make Terry squirm like an earthworm, then according to scientific strategic defense According to the calculation of the game, Terry will definitely be killed by that thing in an instant. There is no doubt that the most ideal investigator was Spider-Man. His instant burst ability is unmatched by anyone in the Victory Commandos.

Even in a cave where he can only lie down, Spider-Man's danger sensing ability and huge strength can ensure his own safety.

All team members of the Security Bureau headquarters can hear the communication, so Captain America immediately accessed Terry's communication.

"The calculation results are too dangerous. Let's come up. Maybe we have to wait until Spider-Man's problem is solved. Before that, we can only apply to put this area under martial law."

But after thinking for a moment, Terry took out a titanium alloy pickaxe from the inventory.

"I have the ability to widen this hole, so I applied to continue exploring downward."

Captain America seemed a little silent, and after two or three seconds, he asked slightly questioningly.

"Are you sure you're not trying to be brave?"

"I'm rarely pushy, and things like Spider-Man always make me a little uneasy."

This time, there was a brief discussion in the communication channel. The Scientific and Strategic Defense Bureau had a more conservative opinion, but the other members of the Victory Commando gave Terry considerable trust.

Nick stopped the discussion between the researchers in the security bureau and the logistics response support team, and decided to leave the power to the victorious commando team at the scene to make their own judgment.

In the end, the only voice left in Terry's headset was Captain America.

"...If the situation goes wrong, remember to evacuate immediately."

"Do not worry."

Terry raised his pickaxe and dug down hard. Several square meters of soil flew up and turned into pixel blocks and flew into Terry's inventory.

"I never expected that I would actually dig a hole with a pickaxe in reality."

While digging into the earth, Terry drank another bottle of light potion, and jumped down layer by layer at a speed that even an earth drill could not match.

The pickaxe power of the titanium alloy pickaxe and the hellstone pickaxe are about the same. In addition, the swing speed in reality is actually affected by Terry's physique. Therefore, strictly speaking, his falling speed is not even much slower than walking directly through the passage just now, but two In just over a minute, they dug down a distance of more than two hundred meters.

Since there was no support from Batman's black technology this time, Terry lost communication with the top when he was about 150 meters away, and there was still some crackling noise in the headset at first. , and when we dug another fifty or sixty meters, the signal was completely disconnected.

Except for the dim light emanating from his body, Terry seemed to have arrived in an extremely silent dark space. If it weren't for the texture of soil under his feet, Terry would have thought that he was already outside the earth at this moment. In some strange space.

'How cautious is this evil thing? It wouldn't dig a nest nearly a thousand meters deep for its own safety, right? '

It can only be said that the digging experience in reality is a little bit worse than in the game. At this depth, even an earthworm cannot be found. Except for the still clear inventory, there are hundreds of square meters of soil to prove it. From where I am at this moment, there is no feedback at all from what I can see or hear.

"I won't dig in the wrong direction, right?"

Terry took two steps with some uncertainty, reaching out to touch the soil wall next to him to confirm some information.

'Obtain Gel*2. '

"Um?!"
