Chapter 98: Insects Awaken, Shocking Change
I don’t know how far the mountain is from the ground, but with the success of the thunder-attracting, I finally heard the sound of thunder and lightning outside. It was a little blurry, but it made me feel proud and close.
Unlike the thunder that occasionally falls from the sky, the heavenly thunder falls from the sky every time, and follows a designated target. Of course, this designated target cannot be too far from the person being pulled, otherwise it will not be effective.
After all, it is not a myth that flying swords can be used to cut off the heads of people from thousands of miles away. In reality, lightning will not be used to kill enemies from thousands of miles away.
I was struggling to pull the thunder, just thinking in my head about the big tree above our heads! The thunder was about to fall, and a magical scene unfolded. I saw the roots of the tree on the ceiling of the chamber begin to tremble, which was the effect of the thunder striking the tree trunk.
Then I saw the golden lightning with my own eyes. I was very surprised and couldn’t understand why the tree roots could capture the lightning. I could see the golden little currents flowing from the tree roots. You have to know that this can only be done by a metal substance.
Moreover, the human eye is not a camera, so it cannot capture lightning in high-speed continuous shooting.
But the most amazing thing was still to come. I clearly saw that wherever the lightning passed, the purple color on the tree roots would fade away, and then the tail would turn into a purple-black liquid that fell to the ground and evaporated.
Gao Ning stared at the liquid in thought for a moment, then the next moment he commanded the snake spirit to throw the group of bug people onto the power grid. At this time, the lightning had already rushed down the metal pole at great speed. When the bug people touched the power grid, they immediately burst into bursts of sparks.
The snake spirit retreated after throwing out the bugs, as if it was also afraid of the power of the thunder. After it retreated, a hole was left in the sky above our heads, and the outside sky was revealed, but we couldn’t see anything, thinking that it was blocked by the dense branches and leaves.
I could only see the lightning flashes between the branches and leaves occasionally. I estimated that the mountain was deep enough, and the height of the chamber was at least 10 meters from the ground!
As the thunder and lightning grew in power, the bug people began to scream in pain. The entire chamber emitted an extremely unpleasant smell of burning. The bug people were unable to break free from the electric grid. They only moved around for less than two seconds, and then they all fell down, powerless.
A disgusting and strange scene unfolded. The bellies of each bug began to swell, forming large bags that seemed to be constantly gulping and belching. In fact, something was trying to break out of the bellies.
Next, a sharp purple bug claw pierced the bug’s belly and crawled out. The bug was a little bit similar to the female bug, but more like a scorpion with wings.
As the worms crawled out one by one, the bellies of the bug people completely turned over, revealing the strange black muscles. I was already in a relatively vague state of consciousness, and I just glanced at it and felt my heart jump, almost vomiting.
There were no so-called internal organs in the bellies of the bug people, but instead a black, thick liquid that was even more disgusting than internal organs. In the middle of the liquid, there were some fibers that were unclear, like traces left by internal organs.
I was so disgusted that Xiaohui even vomited.
After these larvae crawl out, they start flying directly. It seems that they want to fly out of the electric grid as soon as possible. At the same time, these bugs seem to have a strange influence. As soon as they fly out, their emotional aura can affect you. Generally, I am very strange to be able to experience their emotions.
Panic, anger, a feeling of being offended by their majesty!
I couldn’t help but curse in my heart, “What the hell? They’re just bugs, and they’re offending your authority! But at the same time, I also began to worry that the bugs would fly out of the range of the lightning.
But my worries were unnecessary. The lightning seemed to be the natural nemesis of the bugs. I also felt strangely that the lightning seemed to be aimed at the bugs.
Whenever they fly up, a thin electric ray will be attracted by them and then strike them!
What are these bugs made of? Could it be that they are completely conductive? If that foreigner Franklin had discovered you earlier, he would have used you to capture lightning, and you would have been guaranteed to catch one.
Gao Ning looked pleased and knowing as he watched the lightning strike the bugs, which quickly became motionless, twitching and lying on the power grid.
I felt an indescribable exhaustion in my body and mind, but I still gritted my teeth and persisted. This time, I had attracted 27 bolts of lightning, and I had to guide them all to their destination, otherwise the lightning would strike me. This was the price of my lightning-attracting technique.
Besides, the bugs are not completely dead, so I must continue.
The thunder struck one after another and was then drawn into this secret room. The bugs seemed to know that they had reached the end of the road, and suddenly they all emitted a strange chirping sound. I was familiar with that chirping sound, because I heard it every night in the village.
The mystery has been solved. It turns out that the sound is made by these bugs. But there is a slight difference. Although the sound is the same, it lacks a little momentum. Yes, it is that kind of momentum. I can’t put it into words.
As the bugs chirped, Gao Ning’s face suddenly changed, becoming very complicated, excited, nervous, scared, and looking forward to… words simply cannot describe his expression at the moment.
At the same time, as the insects chirped, Ruoxue suddenly covered her stomach and fell to the ground in great pain. Huigen was very understanding and helped Ruoxue up.
Next, I didn’t want to see what happened, the peaceful duo on the platform made a move.
To be precise, it was the female insect that moved. It first moved slightly, then flapped its wings in a strange way. I finally saw that under its wings were all dried corpses. No, some of the corpses were half dried corpses and half skeletons. How strange was this scene?
I was nervous and couldn’t afford to be distracted. There were still six thunderbolts left to fall. I was worried about Ruixue and Huigen. At this time, Gao Ning’s weirdness made me feel that I could no longer trust him. I didn’t dare to put Ruixue and Huigen’s lives in his hands.
The female insect only flapped its wings once, but it seemed to have infinite power. The mummies flew out from under its wings, rolled and crashed into the wall, and then scattered all over the place.
And just as some of the dry corpse fragments fell at my feet, one of them was a skull, and the dry eyes never closed even in death, but because of death, no emotions could be seen. I only saw a look of horror, unwillingness, and resentment frozen forever on its face.
This expression made my heart jump.
As the female insect flapped its wings, Gao Ning stood up and walked slowly over. I cursed in my heart. Didn’t they say that you couldn’t get within three meters of it? Didn’t they also say that if you didn’t get within three meters of it, the female insect wouldn’t wake up?
How can I explain all this now? Gao Ning still lied to me!
I stared at Gao Ning angrily, gritting my teeth and continuing to command the thunder. By now, the larvae could no longer chirp, and one by one they turned into small pieces of coke, finally dying.
But at that moment, the female insect stood up with a “whoosh,” and its legs supported its huge body, giving it a terrifying, indescribable momentum.
I felt fear in my heart.
Gao Ning, as if possessed, continued to walk towards the worm. At this moment, I saw a scene so terrifying that I could not speak. I saw that the female worm had a straw under its belly, connecting it to the old monster lying under its belly. When it stood up, the old monster’s body was also lifted up.
Living with the worm? I also noticed that the body of the old monster was so clean.
I couldn’t stop Gao Ning, and after the female worm stood up, it began to emit a series of chirping sounds, which were the same chirping sounds I was familiar with every night.
But the first time I felt it up close, I found it so terrifying that my brain felt like it had been hit by a sledgehammer and shaken 1,000 times. I couldn’t hold on any longer. I felt like vomiting, and I felt my entire chest cavity churning.
And Ruoxue’s whole body was trembling at this moment.
