Chapter 506 Countless Gu Worms
"Shushashashashashasha..." An ethereal sound sounded from all directions at the same time, and these seemingly ethereal sounds drifted into the ears of several people.

Several people with better ears frowned at the same time, and they all discovered one thing by coincidence, that is, these rustling sounds sounded very familiar, as if they had heard them before.

Chen Ziyang patted his forehead vigorously, trying to make his brain clearer, but he didn't know whether it was because he had been in the hypoxic underground for a long time, or because the intensity of the battle during this period was too high. The relationship was too exhausting, and he couldn't remember where he had heard this voice.

The same goes for other people.Because of the early warning of the caterpillar, several people became vigilant and looked around.After a few seconds, the rustling sound didn't stop, but tended to get louder and louder.

Because he found that the nine armors were different from before, Chen Ziyang still focused on the nine armors when he looked around vigilantly.He was surprised to find that the thick layer of white dust-like thing attached to the nine armors actually moved.

How could dust possibly move by itself?Chen Ziyang suddenly realized that something was wrong.He squinted his eyes and looked carefully, only to find that the layer of dust-like things attached to the armor was not dust, but actually seemed to be densely packed white bugs.

"My God, isn't that the white worm among those black and white Gu worms! Why did it come out again?" Shangguan Kangning's sudden voice startled the others.

As the saying goes, one word wakes up the dreamer, and Shangguan Kangning's words made several other people wake up instantly.Yes, no wonder this rustling sound sounds so familiar, it turned out to be made by these bugs.

The thick layer of dust attached to the nine armors is the white Gu worms. Because these worms have been lying still on the armor before, several people all regard these worms as There was a thick layer of dust, and now for some unknown reason, these Gu worms moved, which made these people see it clearly.

In addition to these white bugs lying on the armor, there are also some black areas on the rock wall that are wriggling at the edges.Without looking carefully, several people could tell that those squirming black shadow-like things were swarms of black Gu worms.

When a few people arrived here before, but they hadn't found the stone slab with the hidden yin-yang fish pattern, it was those black and white bugs that showed them the direction, and when those bugs crawled out, they made such a rustling sound. sound.

But at that time, all the black and white insects had rushed out, ate a big meal, and ate up the mature and extremely small black and white fungi hidden in the soil.

After the food was eaten up by the black and white Gu worms, those worms had returned to the rock wall to hide.Logically speaking, these bugs should have entered a state similar to hibernation, and will not wake up again until the next time the black and white fungi mature, and should not reappear at this time.

The fungi on the ground have just been eaten up, and there are still ten years before the next time those fungi mature, but why did these Gu insects appear again, and it seems that these Gu insects are not looking for food .

Looking in the direction of the nine armors again, Chen Ziyang suddenly realized that this was really a mistake. He didn't expect that an unintentional action of his would be the incentive to wake up these bugs in advance.

Yuan Tiangang's mechanism is very ingeniously designed. He uses the formation of nine armors to slowly extract mana. When these mana enters the armor, in addition to slowly accumulating, it will also be sent to the surrounding people. spread out in the soil.

These diffused mana are just the necessary nutrients for the growth of those fungi hidden in the soil. With the nourishment of mana, these fungi will grow slowly, and the mana contained in the nine armors will reach its peak. The armor The formed formation is mature when it starts.

When these fungi mature, they will wake up the black and white Gu worms that have fallen into hibernation, and these black and white Gu worms will come out of their hidden places and feast on the soil.

And when these Gu worms have eaten up the tiny fungi hidden in the soil, they will attack the surrounding living things.But because the formation composed of nine armors had already been activated at that time, if anyone with knowledge came here, they would be protected by this formation, thus avoiding death under the mouths of these black and white Gu insects.

If there is nothing to eat, these black and white Gu worms will disperse and fall into hibernation again, waiting for the arrival of the next ten years.

And it was precisely because Chen Ziyang and the others unintentionally pulled out the lightning strike wood sword during the battle with the giant python that these Gu worms woke up early, or they were about to fall into hibernation. time, dispelled their drowsiness.

After the lightning strike wooden sword was pulled out, the formation composed of nine armors lost its source of mana.This sudden change disrupted the habits of these black and white Gu insects.

So these things did not fall into a state of hibernation, but gathered around, until Chen Ziyang and others appeared, and their scents were slowly captured by these Gu insects, these things changed, it seems , these black and white Gu worms obviously want to continue their unsatisfactory dinner.

It wasn't until all the bugs started to move that a few people discovered that these bugs had blocked the way out of the six people. If it is on the ground, it must pass through the swarm of bugs.

"Shangguan Kangning, is there anything you can do!" Sensing the movement of these Gu worms around, several people became nervous, Chen Ziyang hurriedly asked Shangguan Kangning.

Now the few people happened to be in the middle of the entire open space, and the surrounding rock walls and ground were covered with these black and white bugs. If they were rushed up by these things, they would definitely not be left behind.

The number of these Gu worms can be described as innumerable. When confronting these worms head-on before, several people already knew how powerful these things are. Surrounded by such a large number of Gu worms, they knew the consequences without even thinking about it. How's it going.

But now all the magic tools of the few people are almost used up, and their physical strength and mana are also exhausted. Although they have recovered after a period of rest, they are not enough to deal with the Gu worms all over the ground. Now the only possible way Shangguan Kangning was the only one who allowed everyone to escape safely.

"Me? What can I do!" Shangguan Kangning's roar came from behind Chen Ziyang.

Although Shangguan Kangning's identity is a Gu master, the Gu masters are not as good as the previous generation. The people who play Gu now are incomparable with those Gu masters more than 1000 years ago. What's more, these Gu insects are still cultivated by the Wu Gu tribe. He is the elite among Gu insects.

Shangguan Kangning carried a lot of Gu worms, but he couldn't resist the army of Gu worms in front of him at all. His only trump card was also his greatest reliance. The golden silkworm Gu king was still in the process of cocooning.

And it seems that there is no intention of breaking out of the cocoon in a short time, so the current Shangguan Kangning is also empty-handed and has nothing to do.

The black and white insects all around slowly crawled towards the direction of several people, probably because of being cautious, these insects were not fast when crawling, but slowly approached in the direction of the six people, occupying a little bit open space.

However, the slow crawling speed of these Gu worms put even greater pressure on the six people. An invisible sense of spiritual oppression gradually formed in the hearts of the six people, and sweat oozed from their foreheads in unison.

Chen Ziyang looked around the situation in the arena. According to the crawling speed of these Gu insects, after five or six minutes, these insects will come in front of six people. Figured out a solution within a few minutes.

If you want to leave here, you must pass through the nine armors from the place where several people are, and then enter the passage leading to the ground.But now the area between the nine armors and the exiting passage has been completely occupied by Gu insects, and it is not so easy to rush through.

Except for this open space without Gu worms around them, the only safe place is the passage leading to the underground world that they just climbed up.

"Er Yang, what should I do? Have you thought of any way?" Yang Lei tightened the straps of his backpack full of treasures, and raised the engineering shovel with both hands, showing a desperate posture. According to his personality, For this bag of treasures, he will definitely lose both sides in a fight with these Gu worms in front of him.

Although he hadn't thought of a way to deal with these Gu worms yet, but after seeing the passage leading to the underground world, Chen Ziyang's heart was relieved.Even if there is no way to go up to the ground from here, at least six people are not in danger for the time being. At worst, they will go back the same way and return to the underground world where the underground lake is located.

A few people are still carrying a small amount of explosives. It is no problem to blow up this passage leading to the underground. When the time comes, six people will go into the underground world and blow up the passage to destroy these black and white. The Gu worms were blocked from the underground world.

Anyway, the underground world has enough oxygen, and the supplies brought by the few people can last for four or five days. The big deal is to wander around the edge of the underground world to see if they can find other ways to go up to the ground.

The smell of sulfur contained in the air of that underground world is very weak, which means one thing, that underground world must have passages connected to the outside, and there may even be more than one, precisely because of the existence of these passages, This makes the sulfur content in the air in the underground world very low, and the oxygen is relatively sufficient.

Otherwise, more than 1000 years would be enough for the sulfur emitted from the underground lake to fill the entire space. The entire underground space should be filled with the smell of sulfur. As long as people enter it, they will be poisoned and faint.

However, if you return to the underground world again, you will have to face two problems. The first is that the giant python may not have died. time is alive.

And because the sulfur smell in the air near the entrance is relatively weak, the active area of ​​​​this giant python has always been between the three islands in the center of the lake. It is very likely that several people will encounter this behemoth again when they return to the underground world. Chen Ziyang didn't want to see it.

The second problem that needs attention is that the area of ​​the underground world is too large, and it is not easy to find the exit in a short time.

If the worst happens, and several people are trapped in the underground world and cannot find an exit until the food and fresh water are exhausted, then several people will still be in danger, and this possibility is not small.

After thinking through these things in an instant, Chen Ziyang made a decision. It is better not to retreat to the underground world if it is not a last resort. In that case, there are too many variables, and other things may be involved. .

However, with the existence of this retreat, his confidence has been greatly increased.He decided to fight these Gu worms within a few minutes. Anyway, there is nothing to lose. If he can win and find a way to defeat these Gu worms, not only will the few people save a lot of time, but also reduce some. Variables and risks.

But it is not easy to think of a way to defeat these Gu worms within a few minutes.Chen Ziyang racked his brains and couldn't think of a perfect solution, after all, the state of his team was really bad.

If it was just coming here, when the team was at its prime, there would still be a chance to fight these Gu worms, but now, the possibility of winning is really too low.

Shangguan Kangning took out the box containing the Golden Silkworm Gu King. He knew that this might be the team's only chance to win, but the golden silkworm cocoons inside hadn't changed at all. It seemed that the Golden Silkworm Gu King hadn't thought about it yet. It means to wake up.

Holding the box close to his ear and shaking it lightly, Shangguan Kangning shook his head towards Chen Ziyang with a disappointed expression on his face.

After nodding his head, Chen Ziyang understood Shangguan Kangning's meaning. It seems that these black and white Gu worms have no way to deal with them, so don't lose the opportunity to retreat.

"Back back!" Chen Ziyang hurriedly waved to the others and shouted loudly.And at this moment, a rumbling sound came from the passage leading to the underground world.
