Chapter 667: The Insect Mother's Rescue
The insect queen didn't seem to like having the insects watching her while she was eating, so after ordering them to hand the slit silk cocoon to her, she drove them all away.
nowadays.
There was only the queen insect left in the incubation room, so it was a good time to take action.
Lu Chihuan lowered his head and looked at the small spider-shaped robot on his arm. After the two exchanged glances, they began to act according to the original plan.
The little spider-shaped robot crawled out first.
It carried a bottle that was several times larger than its body and ran into a corner not far away at an extremely fast speed.
Because of the obstruction of the silk cocoon.
So the insect mother did not find any trace of it.
Lu Chihuan took out a gas mask and put it on his face.
Then he lowered his eyes again and carefully applied the things that had been prepared long ago on his arms.
His white and slender fingers clasped the light blade in his palm, and now he half-bent over and nimbly got out of the silk cocoon. The lines of his shoulder blades and back looked quite tense.
It's like a ferocious beast ready to hunt its favorite prey.
"Hey."
Lu Chihuan picked up a small stone from the ground and stood up straight.
He held the pebble in his hand and weighed it gently for a few times. When he looked up at the insect queen, there was a soft smile on his lips. His temperament looked really harmless and well-behaved, just like a white lamb.
But the next moment.
He suddenly threw the small stone towards the location where the insect mother was.
"look here."
The damage caused by small stones is limited.
So after it hit the insect mother heavily, it soon rolled to the ground. The insect mother had never encountered such an offense before, and because it was disturbed while eating, it now glanced at it with its cold little eyes.
With raging anger and murderous intent.
However, Lu Chihuan seemed to be circling with it. In the instant when the Insect Mother looked over, he had already circled behind the other party as fast and agile as an arrow.
at the same time.
He opened the protective shield in his hand again, and the light silver halo quickly spread to the entire incubation room like swaying water waves. In a short while, Lu Chihuan and the Insect Mother were tightly covered inside.
Do this——
It is to isolate the sound and smell.
Prevent the Zerg Queen from attracting the Zerg inside the hive into the gestation chamber.
After all, if Lu Chihuan fights the Zerg Queen alone, he still has some resistance. But if thousands of Zerg in the hive besiege him, no matter how powerful he is, he will not be able to escape.
The insect queen followed the sound and looked for it.
However, it only saw white silk cocoons on the ground, and the person who had just spoken had disappeared. It suddenly felt as if it was being teased, and could not help but let out a few angry roars.
The lump on the side of the body extended into a tentacle again and slapped the ground hard.
With a bit of menacing momentum.
Lu Chihuan was not in a hurry to attack. He held his light blade and chuckled behind the Insect Mother, as if to attract the other party's attention. His voice sounded a little sarcastic.
"Isn't that stupid?"
"I'm here."
When the Insect Queen heard the voice, she turned her head with a fierce and cold look. The hissing sound coming out of her mouth was like the sound of a kettle after the water boils, short and sharp.
Lu Chihuan estimated that...
If the sounds made by the insect queen could be converted into human language, it would probably be a series of swear words that need to be censored.
Dozens of tentacles pounced towards the direction where Lu Chihuan was. They overlapped each other and tried to surround Lu Chihuan. It really looked like there was nowhere for him to escape.
however.
Lu Chihuan is not an ordinary person. He is as slippery as a swimming fish.
After the mental force shook the "tentacle wall" that surrounded him and created a small gap, he slipped out through the gap in an instant, using his toes to leverage the force of the wall of the cave to dodge.
A blink of an eye.
It went around to the blind spot of the insect mother.
He tilted his head.
A hint of smile flashed across her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, and her thick eyelashes like crow feathers trembled a few times. Now she crossed her arms and deliberately spoke in a slightly proud and happy voice:
"Tsk, tsk."
“Still missed.”
"I didn't expect the so-called Zerg Queen to be so useless. No wonder you have been living in this tiny wormhole for such a long time. You probably don't know yet... The Zerg you sent out of the wormhole have been completely wiped out by the Ghost Star Pirates..."
This is really heartbreaking.
The IQ of the Zerg Queen is slightly higher than that of ordinary Zerg. In addition, before the destruction of the other world branch, it had coexisted with humans in the same universe for decades.
Therefore.
It understood what Lu Chihuan said.
At this moment, it was waving dozens of tentacles almost madly, and then smashed towards Lu Chihuan's position, determined to smash this hateful human into minced meat.
Lu Chihuan is agile and flexible.
It looks like a nimble rabbit that no one can catch.
Now.
After he nimbly dodged the tentacles extended by the insect mother, he swung out the light blade with his backhand to block it for his back. Sparks flew when the light blade and the tentacles rubbed against each other, followed by a few teeth-grinding crunching sounds.
The shock made his palms numb.
This leather...
It’s really thick.
Lu Chihuan tightened his fingers and steadied his right hand, pretending to be nonchalant. His eyes curved and he said, "You got angry just because I said a few words to you."
"What a bad temper."
After saying this, his eyes flashed a few times, and then he turned from passive to active, and this time he took the initiative to rush towards the direction of the insect mother. The bright light blade reflected his cold eyebrows.
This did make the Insect Queen feel a bit panicked.
then.
Dozens of tentacles stretched out in front of Lu Chihuan and launched an attack, trying to prevent him from approaching the location of the insect mother.
Only a loud bang was heard.
The seemingly soft tentacles now pierced into the ground a few centimeters in front of Lu Chihuan like extremely hard steel bars, and spider-web-like cracks instantly appeared on the floor of the cave.
This power is truly terrifying.
Once it pierces the human body, the human will not survive for more than a few minutes.
Lu Chihuan broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, but he still did not change his plan. When the snarling tentacles attacked him madly and were even about to touch his back, he pounced forward as if he had anticipated it.
Then he rolled over several times.
This method quickly distanced himself from the dozens of tentacles.
But Lu Chihuan was not satisfied with this.
He stretched out his right hand and supported himself on the ground. After he stood up, he stepped on the soft and fat body of the insect mother. After taking a deep breath and lightening his body, he climbed up in a few steps.
Because he had mental strength to assist him, this action was easy for him.
soon.
He jumped onto the back of the insect mother and stabbed down with force with the light blade in his hand.
however.
The insect mother's skin is too thick.
The light blade in his hand only caused a tiny, barely noticeable wound to the insect queen.
however.
This action made the Insect Queen even more angry, but because Lu Chihuan's feet were its own huge body, its waving tentacles became a little cautious for a moment.
After all, if the tentacle fails to hit Lu Chihuan accurately, it may accidentally hurt itself.
and so.
The insect queen had to change her methods.
It tried to capture the mouse-like human alive.
Then it is put into its own mouth and swallowed cleanly. Therefore, the attack method of the tentacles also becomes entanglement and binding.
This was exactly what Lu Chihuan wanted.
He dodged and ducked.
He ran and weaved between the tentacles quite flexibly, turning back from time to time to block the tentacles' attacks.
When the light blade in his hand hit the tentacle, it made a sound like gold hitting stone, which made his originally confused mind clearer.
I don't know if it was because his mentality was too good, so he even treated it as background music, imagining that he was playing some low-quality game that a small company had reluctantly put on the shelves due to lack of budget.
only.
Lu Chihuan's physical strength is limited after all.
He no longer had time to calculate how long he had been in a stalemate with the tentacle. He only knew that as time passed, his strength quickly drained away and his vision became blurred by the heat.
Not only that.
His movements were not as agile as before, and he was half a beat slower in dodging.
So if you're not careful.
The tentacle hit him with great force.
Lu Chihuan groaned suddenly, and his face turned pale. He unconsciously tightened his five fingers, and sweat slid down his pale jaw. He staggered forward.
But the good thing is——
He stretched out his hands in time to support his body, and half-knelt on the back of the insect mother.
The breathing was a little rapid.
The insect queen seemed to think that she had seized the best opportunity to attack, and dozens of tentacles became excited again, and now all rushed towards Lu Chihuan, who had almost no strength to move.
The tip of the tentacle was about to pierce into Lu Chihuan’s dark and bright eyes.
Lu Chihuan did not dodge or evade.
Instead, he uttered a slightly mocking chuckle.
The insect mother didn't understand.
But it thought that this was just the dying man's struggle before death, so it used its tentacles to pierce Lu Chihuan's body, turning the cunning human in front of it into a bloody paste.
however--
It found that its tentacles were paralyzed.
I don't know when its tentacles turned into an unsolvable knot. I want to tear it apart violently, but the knot becomes tighter and tighter because of my movements.
not only that.
The insect queen even felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained away in an instant.
The whole insect felt dizzy.
I felt dizzy but had no power to resist.
Could it be that this human in front of me did something? What on earth is this...
what happened? !
Lu Chihuan seemed to have noticed the Insect Mother's doubts, and he propped himself up to stand up. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his chin, then smiled proudly with his eyes curved.
"You finally noticed."
"Do you feel like you have no strength left in your body?"
"You want to raise your tentacles to capture me alive, but you can't move. If you really want to know what happened, why don't you smell if there is any new smell in this cave?"
As soon as these words came out.
The insect queen actually sniffed it.
To know.
The Zerg's sense of smell has always been well-developed, but just now after being annoyed by the human in front of it, it has been deeply immersed in anger, so it has no time to pay attention to these details at all.
Now it discovers...
There seems to be a faint sweet fragrance in the air, which makes people drowsy and weak.
"In fact."
"I said those things to anger you and belittle you, just to divert your attention and buy time for my companions."
Lu Chihuan snapped his fingers.
He looked towards the corner of the cave and said hello to the spider-shaped robot hiding there. "From the beginning."
"I asked my companions to open a bottle of potion in this cave that can cause people to become unconscious and weak. This potion will produce a strong chemical reaction when it comes into contact with water, and evaporate into a gas with a stronger effect. Even if you are a worm queen..."
“I’m still not immune to it.”
After finishing speaking.
The little spider-shaped robot hiding behind the silk cocoon happened to crawl out.
Then he waved to the insect queen.
This action can be said to have made the insect mother so angry that she was almost fuming. However, she had now inhaled the gas produced by the potion and was weak all over. The only part of her body that could move was her teeth, so she was unable to retaliate for the time being.
Lu Chihuan watched this scene.
Although he looked confident of victory, he was actually relieved in his heart.
Honestly.
This method could be said to be a risky one. After all, he was not sure whether he could escape from the tentacles of the insect queen before the potion took effect.
If God was not kind to him a little and something went wrong, he might die here.
fortunately.
He has always had good luck.
Lu Chihuan raised his head and drank a tube of physical recovery potion. He threw the bottle of potion casually, and when he was sure that his physical strength, heartbeat, breathing, etc. had all returned to normal and the beast had no chance to react, he forcefully stuffed the steel rod hanging from his waist, which had been prepared long ago, into its mouthparts, creating a space of moderate size for his next action.
"Finish."
He grabbed the insect mother's long tongue with one hand and concentrated on using the dagger to cut out the crystal embedded on it. However, the crystal seemed to have merged with the insect mother, making it difficult to do what he wanted to do now.
The insect queen was twitching in pain.
It had never suffered such a great humiliation. In addition, the crystals embedded in its long tongue were the source of nourishment for its body. It was because of this thing that it was able to survive after lacking food for a long time.
At this moment, it couldn't help but want to vent its hatred and dissatisfaction by roaring.
He wanted to use his tentacles to severely torture this ignorant human being in front of him and make him a delicious meal in his stomach.
However, it was sadly discovered that...
Because of the potion released by this damn human, he had no way and no strength to fight back.
No.
This cannot go on any longer.
I don’t know what I thought of.
A hint of viciousness and cruelty flashed in the insect mother's eyes. After a moment, it seemed to have made up its mind and released all the special secretions stored in its body.
To know.
Generally speaking, the Zerg Queen will not use this thing easily. After all, this special secretion can attract Zerg and induce them to reproduce with herself.
In other words——
The Zerg will be lured in soon.
This was like a rescue for the insect mother. After that, he took a few more steps and came to the insect mother's ferocious mouthparts.
Looking into the cold and murderous eyes of the Insect Queen can easily cause people to feel psychological pressure.
Lu Chihuan pursed his lips heavily.
He barely ignored the look the Insect Mother was giving him, and following the idea that the first time is new, the second time is familiar, he raised his hand and forcefully pried open the Insect Mother's mouthparts again while the Insect Mother didn't know what she was going to do.
The insect queen was obviously caught off guard.
