The giant millipede in front of him was even bigger than the one struggling on the ground. Its entire body was four to five meters tall, and its countless iron legs were dancing up and down wildly, dazzling people. How could this be a bug? It was clearly a monster from folk legends.
The willow spear struck its lower jaw, but not only did it not hurt it at all, it even angered the big insect. It opened its mouth and spat out a round thing. I looked closely and saw that it was actually a bloody human head.
Then, the giant millipede arched its body and pounced at us with a fishy smell.
I quickly retreated and fired several shots to force it to stop. The result proved once again that the pistol was simply scratching its itch.
"Stop fighting, run!"
The mosquito pulled me, and I quickly ran after them. I looked back from time to time. The guy jumped down from the bed. Although his legs weren't long, he wriggled his body left and right as he crawled quickly.
I shouted what to do. Mosquito and Yang Liu didn't know how to answer, but Team Leader Chen immediately formulated a battle plan.
"Mosquitoes and rats will distract it. Yang Liu and I will eliminate its senses as soon as possible.”
Senses? It dawned on me that no matter how big this millipede was, it was still an arthropod, and arthropods mainly relied on their antennae to sense everything around them. Although its entire body was covered in impenetrable armor, its antennae, which were its eyes, should be a fatal weakness.
Mozzie and I immediately understood and ran left and right, firing a shot or two from time to time to attract its attention.
In this short moment, Yang Liu, who was immersed in her marksmanship, decisively and cleanly shot off the left tentacle of the giant millipede.
The giant millipede was in pain, and its front body suddenly straightened by a third of its height. It raised its head to cover the remaining antenna and sprayed a brown liquid at the willow.
Yang Liu quickly dodged. The liquid made a sizzling sound when it landed on the ground. It emitted a brown gas, and a pungent smell instantly filled the air.
The smell was extremely unpleasant and made us dizzy. Our stomachs felt uncomfortable and we wanted to throw up, forcing us to run away.
I covered my nose and scolded,"This guy's defense isn't just his armor."”
Mosquito said," It's normal. The millipedes that exist on Earth can also secrete poisonous liquid, but it's not like this giant millipede that spits it out of its mouth.”
As it spoke, the giant millipede spat out a few mouthfuls of venom in all directions. Seeing this, Yang Liu complained,"This is the ancestor of trolls. It stinks. I can't take it anymore. I have to stand further away.”
The smell was so strong that we had no choice but to distance ourselves from the giant millipede by more than 100 meters. Although it could no longer pose a threat to us, we could not eliminate it at such a distance.
I said,"Damn it, I wanted to continue attacking its interior, but now that I can't enter its body, how can I accurately throw the grenade into its mouth?"”
Mosquito said," Even if it doesn't have this move, it's still very difficult. The first is that you can only succeed when it's unprepared. But this is difficult."
"Doesn't that mean that this monster doesn't have any natural enemies? What should we do?"
Her words had killed the topic. The few of them fell silent for a moment, each thinking of a way to deal with it. I turned to look at Team Leader Chen. He stared at the giant millipede in the distance without blinking. It seemed that he didn't have any good ideas.
My only hope now was that the giant millipede would leave on its own. However, from the looks of it, it wouldn't be able to continue pestering us. Its head was looking left and right as it searched for traces of us.
"You guys stay here and don't move." Team Leader Chen bit his sleeve and wet it in his mouth. He covered his nose and slowly walked forward. He took out something from his body. I took a closer look. Isn't this the stone ball?
"Team Leader Chen." Mosquito said worriedly," The Taklamakan yellow shell louse can be understood as a special supernatural creature. However, the giant millipede did exist on Earth. Don't take any risks.”
Team Leader Chen didn't say anything. Instead, he continued to walk toward the giant millipede. Mosquito saw that he couldn't persuade him, so he shook his head and didn't say anything else.
I said," Forget it, Mosquito. We don't know the situation here as well as Team Leader Chen. Since he has decided, let's wait and see."”
"Eh?" Yang Liu wanted to interrupt, but she looked into the distance and suddenly let out a puzzled voice. I asked her what was going on, and she said that the ground near the giant millipede was moving.
I looked at her strangely and said,"Are you seeing things?"”
Yang Liu said,"Bah, you're the one who's seeing things. You don't believe my eyes?" Do you believe that I'll count all your hair for you?”
"Aiyo, you're good. Why don't you count for me?”While I was bickering with Yang Liu, Mosquito hurriedly reminded Team Leader Chen loudly. Team Leader Chen was not far from the giant millipede. After hearing Mosquito's voice, he paused for a second or two and quickly retreated.
I rubbed my eyes. My eyeballs were about to pop out. Only then did I vaguely see that a small piece of ground beside the giant millipede was indeed protruding upwards, as if something was about to break out of the ground.
"F * ck!" Suddenly, a few large pieces of rocks flew up from the ground. A blood-red cylindrical object emerged from the ground. Although I was far away, I could still feel its powerful strength.
Team Leader Chen had already returned to our side. When he heard the noise behind him, he turned his head and was stunned for a moment. He stared at the thing next to the giant millipede without moving.
Looking at the thing that just appeared, I stuttered and asked Mosquito,""Mosquito, tell me this guy isn't an earthworm.”
The first time I saw this strange fellow, I thought it was an earthworm. It really looked too similar, but it was too big. Although it couldn't compare to the giant millipede, its diameter was still more than half a meter.
" The Worm of Death. That's right, it's the Worm of Death." Mosquito had a pair of binoculars in her hand, and she sounded very surprised. Shocked, I snatched his binoculars and carefully examined the head of the thing. It was indeed the same as what was recorded in the file: It was surrounded by three eyes that could only emit a faint red light, and on its head was a bloody mouth full of fangs.
"It really is a Worm of Death." I said,"But, but isn't the Worm of Death in the Mongolian Gobi?”
Yang Liu did not need binoculars to see it clearly. She said excitedly,"Oh my god, it really is a Worm of Death. This place is getting more and more interesting. I wonder what else will appear. I can't wait.”
I looked at her and asked curiously,"Are you sick?"”
Yang Liu said nonchalantly," Tsk, it's not strange. I'm used to it. Now, I feel that what I've seen and heard along the way is really not something ordinary people can encounter."”
I actually didn't know how to refute. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that I didn't have the fear I had at the beginning. Looking at the two large insects in the distance, I even had the urge to get closer to take a look. Perhaps it was just as Yang Liu had said. She was already used to it and was immune to it.
" Quick, look!" Mosquito's words made Yang Liu and I look at the two giant worms at the same time. However, we saw that the giant millipede had already placed all its attention on the Worm of Death. The legendary Worm of Death had also crawled out from the ground and revealed its true appearance.
This Worm of Death was also nearly ten meters long, but its body was not as uniform as the giant millipede. It became smaller and smaller from the head to the back. When it reached the last third, it split into two tails that were half the diameter of the head.
With the help of the binoculars, I discovered that its two tails were covered with short legs that looked like barbs. With this, it could firmly grasp the ground and erect two-thirds of its body.
Two tigers couldn't live on the same mountain. This applied to any animal, let alone such a strange creature. One was an ancient thousand-legged giant worm, and the other was a legendary deadly poison. They seemed to know each other's power. Although they were eager to move, they didn't dare to take a step forward.
"Mosquito, who do you think will win?”
I completely let go of my previous curiosity and curiosity. I began to guess which of the two monsters was stronger.
Mosquito did not answer, but Yang Liu joked," I think the Worm of Death will win. After all, it's a legendary monster. Western scholars have always thought that it's a monster beyond the scope of science. No matter how big the giant millipede is, it's just a worm. If you don't believe me, let's bet a pack of spicy sticks.”
Yang Liu's thoughts were the same as mine. Legend has it that the Worm of Death can spit out extremely corrosive liquid, and its eyes can also release a special energy. It can be said to be extremely strange. On the other hand, the giant millipede didn't seem to have anything better than the Worm of Death except for its hard shell.
Just as he was thinking, the Worm of Death suddenly leaned its head forward and spat out a red liquid from its mouth, hitting the abdomen of the giant millipede.
I quickly picked up the binoculars and found that the giant millipede was completely fine after being hit. The liquid was slowly dripping down its body onto the ground. The ground that was touched by the liquid immediately emitted wisps of smoke and gradually became a pothole.
"Damn, Yang Liu, it seems that I have to make a bet with you. This giant millipede doesn't seem to be explained by science.”
Yang Liu blushed at my words and stammered,"Oh no, how could I have forgotten where this place is? I really can't jump to conclusions. However, this is just the beginning. Don't interrupt."
At this moment, we had completely become the audience below the stage, enjoying the wonderful performance of the two monsters on the stage. If it weren't for the special circumstances, I would really clap my hands and cheer.
Without further ado, the giant millipede seemed to have been provoked. It pounced on the Worm of Death and pressed it under its body. Its huge jaws clamped down on the Worm of Death's back, causing it to twist its body in pain.
The Worm of Death's body looked very soft. With the strength of its movement, it fell out of the giant millipede's mouth in an instant. However, the price was a large wound on its body, almost splitting it into two. Thick red liquid kept flowing out from it.
This bite seemed to have destroyed its nervous system, completely restricting the movements of the Worm of Death. Its entire upper body could no longer straighten up, and it fell heavily to the ground.
The giant millipede didn't show any mercy. It bit the Worm of Death's neck and bit off its head.
This battle had basically ended. It ended so quickly. It wasn't as thrilling as I had imagined, nor did it have any dramatic changes. It was the simplest, most brutal, and most effective attack in the animal world. After all, the Worm of Death was half the size of the giant millipede, and it did not have as hard armor as the other party. It was normal for it to be defeated.
I returned the binoculars to Mozzie and said,"Next, it's our turn to wrap things up.”
"No need." " Don't underestimate the Worm of Death," Mosquito said." The giant millipede is almost finished.”
I looked at the giant millipede in confusion, only to see that it began to roll its huge body continuously. After a few moments, it lay there stiffly and could no longer move.
After waiting for a few minutes, we slowly walked over. The air around us was still filled with a pungent stench. I imitated Team Leader Chen's method and used my saliva to wet my sleeves as a gas mask, which somewhat reduced the smell.
The giant millipede and the death bug had both died tragically, especially the death bug. Its body had become very dry, but the eye on its head was still emitting a faint red light. The giant millipede's mouth had no flesh left. It had completely become an empty shell, and its two sickle-like jaws had fallen to the ground.
"What's wrong with you?"
I saw Yang Liu's body sway a few times and was worried that she might have been affected by the stench of the giant millipede. After all, her senses were more sensitive than ours.
Yang Liu rubbed her temples and said,"Team Leader Chen, the eyes of the Worm of Death are so mysterious. I…I can't take it anymore. I…"
Before she could finish speaking, Yang Liu fell directly. Fortunately, Mosquito was quick and protected her with a princess hug.
"Go ahead," Team Leader Chen quickly instructed.”
I hurriedly helped Mozzie remove his equipment. She carried Yang Liu and left the place. They walked towards the inner part of the base until they could no longer smell the strange smell. They walked for a few more minutes before stopping.
"Yang Liu? Yang Liu?" Mosquito tried to pinch Yang Liu's philtrum. With a few coughs, Yang Liu opened her eyes and patted her chest hard, retching from time to time.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" I asked curiously. Was it smoked?"
Yang Liu calmed down for a while before she came back to her senses and said," So strange, really strange. I've never seen such a strange thing before."
Mosquito and I looked at each other speechlessly. We didn't know what Yang Liu was trying to say.
Seeing that the two of them were looking at her inexplicably, Yang Liu said," It's that worm. The eyes of the Worm of Death are really strange."
I patted her forehead and said,"Can you explain it clearly? How is it strange?”
Yang Liu said,"If I can say it, then what's so strange about it?" I just used this word to describe it because I really couldn't say it. When I saw its eyes, I suddenly had a strange feeling of dizziness, and my entire body felt uncomfortable. Then I didn't know anything, and there was no then."
Mozzie nodded and voiced out her guess." I think that's the case. You've all read about it in the Mystical Affairs archives. The eyes of the Worm of Death can release a special energy. Although it's dead, this energy still exists. It's just that it's much weaker than when it was alive, so it doesn't pose a threat to humans. "However, Yang Liu's senses are several times more sensitive than ours. For her, it's equivalent to magnifying this power several times, which is why she fell for it.”
"That should be the case. Mosquitoes are still the best.”Yang Liu didn't forget to clap her hands and cheer. She looked at the mosquito with a smile.
I was so disgusted that I wanted to vomit. I said," You're just speculating. Don't forget that Team Leader Chen is still here. Let's listen to Team Leader Chen's explanation. Team Leader Chen is the only authority here." Right, Team Leader Chen?"
Team Leader Chen looked at me and said,"Continue moving forward."”
I was speechless. I thought to myself that Team Leader Chen was really like what he had once said: The human heart was the most complicated. I really could never guess what he was thinking. He would be sunny and rainy for a while, making me so embarrassed every time.
" Let's go." Mozzie picked up the equipment beside her and shared some of Yang Liu's equipment. The two of them quickly caught up with Team Leader Chen.
I sighed and carried my equipment as I silently followed behind them. I didn't know how long I had been walking until I saw a few more incomplete corpses in front of me.
