Spore Story

Chapter 73 The Beetle Cave
There was movement on the edge of the hill near the direction of the herd, and there was a sudden movement in a bush above it, and the trees seemed to be pushed apart by something.

Gradually, a hidden cave appeared behind the trees, and there seemed to be something vaguely moving towards the entrance of the cave.

Gaga’s mental power is highly concentrated, and he takes back the mental power that spreads towards the hole, and then uses it to enhance his eyesight to observe the hole, because Gaga doesn’t know whether the opponent’s control is related to mental power (the sequelae of the novel=.=), there will not be too much Direct contact vision allows for better observation.

Appeared... This is it!
What appeared at the entrance of the cave was a creature that Gaga was familiar with and could no longer be familiar with. "I never expected to meet you here. We just made friends not long ago." Not long ago, Gaga led a team to meet with each other. A friendly match was held.

Yes, it is the double scythe beetle.

"What's the situation?" Ga
The double-scythe beetle that came out of the cave stood at the entrance and looked around, and even opened its double-scythes and slashed at the herd of beasts in the distance, but after a while, it suddenly turned around and burrowed into the entrance of the cave.

"It's so difficult to be discovered?" Gaga immediately asked his companion to hide, and then checked the hiding place of his companion and himself, "Should there be no problem?"

To convince Ga Ga that this double-scythe beetle is the dangerous controller, wouldn't it be too unfair for the defeat of the more than 100 double-scythe beetles before?

"wrong!"

Paying close attention to the movement at the mouth of the hunter's hole, Gaga suddenly remembered that the number of predators in this territory seemed to be a bit higher than the previous territory, and combined with the fact that there was hardly a single predator in the double-scythe beetle territory before.

"Could it be that the predators from the previous double-scythe beetle territory were gathered here?" Thinking of this, Gaga felt a little confused.

Twin scythe beetles, disappearing predators, predators in unusually high proportions, creatures that control predators, fatigued attacks on herds...

(I.e.

Quack suddenly saw the mountainous area that stretched for thousands of miles without seeing the edge. This is the edge of the mountain, and the territory of the double scythe beetle is also the edge of the mountain.

"Could it be that there are many giant beetles in the mountains, and some organizations even appear in them, such as ants and bees?"

I began to feel a little fear in my heart. If these beetles start to show organizational properties now, it will be a great threat to the advancement of their own species to civilization. Compared with it, why the other party gathers predators here becomes unimportant.

"Do you want to go to the cave to check and eliminate the controller?"

The entrance of the cave has not responded since the double-scythe beetle appeared, and even the predators that attacked the herd disappeared. They returned to their normal state and hid in their previous hiding place.

"Did it give up?"

Suddenly there was a sense of crisis, and Gaga felt that there seemed to be some kind of extremely high threat in the mountains, which was slowly growing, and would definitely pounce on him in the end.

"No, I can't relax anymore. I have to enter civilization as soon as possible. There is always a bad feeling."

Suppressing the confusion and uneasiness, Quack stopped thinking about scaring the grass and startling the snake. He roared and called the herd to approach, and then let the herd spread into three groups, moving around the hills in the middle, forming a dynamic The encirclement circle, in case the opponent may escape.

Quack himself led a small group of eight tentacled quacks towards the entrance of the cave. Due to the narrow width of the cave, only two tentacled quacks could be placed side by side, and it was useless to go too many.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, Quack surrounded the mental power within 20 meters around him, and the rest cooperated with the weak current to enhance the body perception.

Feeling the doubts and curiosity of his companions, Gaga took the lead and drilled into the cave.

The dark cave exudes a coolness that makes Quack very uncomfortable. There is no light in the space that makes vision useless. Except for the faint sound of the wind and the slight footsteps of the Quack beasts, there are almost no other sounds.

From time to time, a trace of electric current flows through the tip of the tail to indicate the direction for the companions behind him. Gaga pays full attention to his surroundings, as if he has returned to the small cell period and completely relies on mental power to observe the surrounding world.

"I really miss it. Before I knew it, I had become a high-level predator on land."

Feelings are all emotions, but Quack will not relax the detection of the surroundings. The eight companions follow very closely. Up to now, there is only a single-lane passage and there is no problem of falling behind. But at this time, the bridge that will appear in any cave exploration event is as promised And to - a fork in the road.

Three forks appeared in the telepathy in front of him, and the companions behind him also stopped with the rattling. In an instant, except for the sound of whistling wind and weak breathing, the cave was completely quiet, and the surroundings were completely silent. .

Sniffing the surrounding air, it was filled with all kinds of messy smells, including the smell of the double scythe beetle, but it was useless to rely on this to choose the road, because every hole had this smell.

"Um, should we find a stick to guide our way forward..."

Scanning the surroundings carefully, Gaga really found a withered branch in a corner.

"Do you want us to complain about this crazy situation?"

Quack kicked the dead branches under him without a word, walked to the middle of the cave, stood up the dead branches with the help of the tentacles, and then... let go.

The dead branch fell to the ground smoothly under the guidance of gravity, and the direction just pointed to... the way it came from.

"Ah... to expect the guidance of a dead tree, we are really idiots!"

Sneezing depressingly, Quack ignored the fallen dead tree, turned around and walked into one of the caves, and the tentacle Quack followed immediately.

The low temperature made Quack and his companions very uncomfortable, as if the blood in their bodies began to coagulate.When Ga Ga was considering whether to quit, a glimmer of light appeared ahead.

Immediately stopped walking forward, Gaga condensed his mental strength and slowly moved forward in the cave, "This is?"

Regardless of the curiosity of his companions, Quack ran quickly, turned a corner ahead, and the source of the light appeared in front of him.

"Meow, it's actually a hole." Passing through the passage that only allowed a tentacled quack beast to enter, a cave on the mountainside appeared in front of Gaga.

Strolling to the entrance of the cave, I happened to see a group of tentacle quack beasts moving around the hills not far away.

At this time, Quack's body suddenly felt a sense of nausea, which made Quack feel annoyed for a while, and from the corner of his eyes, he could see a little restlessness in the team of hundreds of companions not far away.

"what?"

Puzzled by his body's reaction, Quack immediately leaned against the wall and adjusted his breathing, but suddenly a strange shock spread to Quack's surroundings.

"This is spiritual power?"

A few of the same race beside him became a little unsteady, wobbling as if they were about to fall down, and when that strange mental shock came, Quack's mental power automatically rebounded and shot out along the center of the shock. .

【

Phantom Beetle Hunt
Goal: Hunt a phantom beetle (0/1)

Reward: 80 (evolution value)
Mental Amplification Component (Brain Expansion Component)

】

"Mafia class!"

Immediately turned around, Quack chased after the enemy's position sensed in the cave. As for the issue of mental power, it can be seen from the collision of the two mental powers just now that the main consciousness of himself is much higher than the opponent's spiritual power.

"So what if your mental power has the ability to increase, hehe."

However, Quack obviously overlooked a problem, that is, the road in the cave is not as clear as that on the plain.

At this moment, Gaga stared at the wall in front of him speechlessly, "To the left or to the right?"

This is a T-shaped fork in the road. I felt that the enemy's position was not far from the wall, but this wall...

With a bang, the rattle mounted on the wall, but the opponent did not move at all.

"Cut, it's so strong, what should I do? If that phantom beetle runs away, no, it should definitely run away. According to the previous experience of the green seed, the task is only started when it hurts the opponent. If you collide with your mental strength, the opponent will definitely be injured, so knowing that you are invincible, and according to the cautious character of the opponent who has not shown up now, it is strange that he didn't run away."

Depressedly wagging its tail, it hit the wall made of rocks. In this kind of network-like cave, a small group of tentacle quack beasts like themselves are useless at all. Instead, they are in danger of being surrounded by the other party's familiarity with the cave.Moreover, although the opponent's mental shock has no effect on you, it can make other tentacle quacks stunned. If you say that you don't pay attention and do this again, and then launch a bunch of predators to siege, then...

"Looking at the double-scythe beetles that appeared before, it is possible that they are protecting each other, just like the guards of the phantom beetles."

In the silent cave, the sound of rattling tails hitting the wall was constantly echoing, and the tin tin sound disappeared into the boundless darkness.

When Quack was thinking about the problem, the feeling of nausea came again to interrupt his thinking, "Meow, isn't the mental power lower than ours, how did it attack me?"

Depressedly searching the world in the telepathy, except for the shaking fellow...

The cave suddenly shook up and down, a burst of dust fell from the top of his head, and he couldn't help coughing.

"Damn, what's going on?"

The cave vibrated up and down again, and a rock on the top of the head fell off unsteadily, and fell heavily on Quack's horn under the action of gravity.

Tilting his head, Quack finally sensed something was wrong, "No, it's an earthquake!"

"Run!"

With a few companions beside him, he ran along the path to the nearest mountainside cave.

The vibration became more and more common, and Gaga stared at the top of his head, carefully avoiding the earth and rocks that fell from time to time.

"Safe on base!"

The entrance of the cave was not far from the fork in the road before, and soon Quack jumped out of the cave first. However, he didn't observe carefully before, and only then did Quack, who was jumping in mid-air, realize that the entrance of the cave was actually much higher than the ground.

"Ah, why is it empty, below." (0-0)
