Chapter 528: Nest Within Nest

"We have performed so many missions, and this is the first time we have encountered such a leak, haha." Ruby laughed.

"It's not that simple." Martin squatted next to the body of the wind listener and looked carefully, frowning, and said in a low voice: "The wounds of this wind listener are fatal in one blow, and they are all the weakest places. Caused by bloodsuckers."

Ian's heart moved, and he said to Martin: "How to say?"

Martin picked up the flesh sac and jaw wound of the listener with a dagger, and said in a deep voice: "Look, the traces of these two wounds were not caused by the tentacles of the bloodsicker. Except for the injuries in these two places, the rest The place is all intact."

Ian stared at it, and was immediately moved, and said, "You mean..."

"That's right." Martin stood up slowly, with gloomy eyes, and slowly scanned everyone's faces, saying: "If my guess is correct, it should have been killed by other monsters, and it was killed by an overwhelming force. There is no power to fight back."

Luna and Ruby froze for a moment.

Rosemary opened her eyes slightly, and said, "You mean... there are other monsters in this lair?"

Martin glanced at her, shook his head slightly, and said, "I'm not sure if that thing is still here, but this listener should have been killed by a higher-level monster!"

Luna's throat rolled, and she said in a daze: "A higher-level monster? A monster that can overwhelmingly kill the listener without being noticed by the listener...could it be... a high-level monster that came out of the red barren area? "

Martin looked gloomy and didn't answer her, but looked at Ian.

Without hesitation, Ian said decisively: "Take out its parasitic soul worm immediately and leave here."

Ruby didn't dare to delay, and quickly searched to find the parasitic soul worm in the body of the listener. It was a spider-like soul worm, covered with the blood of the listener, and was put into the mouth of the bottle and kept struggling.

Just as Ruby tightened the bottle cap, suddenly, there was a loud bang outside the cave, and the ground trembled slightly.

Everyone's face changed drastically.

Ian suddenly raised his head, looking in the direction of the cave exit behind him, his face pale and ugly.

Boom, there was another loud noise, which seemed to be the footsteps of some kind of giant, approaching the lair.

Du Dian felt the trembling under his feet,

His face was gloomy, and he could imagine how huge the object was from the violent movements. Although the size cannot absolutely determine the strength of a monster, in most cases, the large hunting level often Both are very high.

"Yes, is that thing back?" Ruby's black face was also a little pale, and a huge terrifying outline had already instinctively appeared in his mind due to the strong shaking caused by the sound of footsteps.

Ian came back to his senses, hesitated for a moment, and immediately said: "Run inside, hide in the innermost place!"

If this thing is the monster that kills the listener, then there is no doubt that their team will have no chance of winning. After all, even if they meet the listener, they will have to fight hard, but the latter is overwhelming. Easily kill the listener, such power can easily wipe out their team, they can only hide!

Moreover, their mission has been completed, and they have obtained the parasitic soul worm of the listener, and then they only need to consider how to survive and return to the giant wall alive.

Martin, Luna, Rosemary and the others did not doubt Ian's order, and immediately followed Ian, stepped over the body of the wind listener, and rushed into the cave.

After Eugene glanced at Du Dian, he followed closely, not daring to fall behind.

Du Dian looked back at the direction of the cave exit. It is estimated that the rock wall is too thick, which caused his thermal vision to be unable to see the heat of the thing outside the cave. After all, the penetration of vision is limited.

His face was gloomy, he didn't expect to encounter such a thing when he was on a mission for the first time, and accidents could happen at any time in the barren area.

He followed Ian and the others, and drilled into the cave. Although his instinct told him that this was not a good way, he couldn't think of any other better ideas right now.

Soon, everyone moved forward. As it went deeper, more and more monster bones were seen on the ground, and rancid corpses and feces were also everywhere. The monsters obviously had no concept of cleaning.

Boom, boom...

The roar outside the lair gradually faded away, but it was still clearly audible.

After running several hundred meters, suddenly, Ian, who was at the front, paused and stopped.

Everyone looked up and saw that there was no way out.

Ahead is a dead end, blocking the way. Obviously, this is already the deepest part of the lair.

"Damn it!" Ian slammed his fist on the rock wall, his face full of anger.

Boom, boom, the trembling sound was slowly approaching outside the lair, the surrounding rock walls trembled slightly, and sand grains fell, and the thing seemed to be squeezing into the cave.

"Could it be that it noticed us?" Ruby trembled.

If this is the deepest part of the cave, they didn't see any other living creatures along the way, and the thing would go into the cave, obviously aware of a few of them, otherwise there would be no reason to continue to follow.

When Ian, Martin and the others heard this, their expressions became even uglier. If they were stared at by such a thing, it would be very difficult to escape, and they would pay an extremely heavy price!

Everyone's mood was instantly heavy, and the air was so heavy that it was impossible to breathe.

Du Dian also knew that he was in a life crisis, his heart was pounding, and the blood in his body was flowing rapidly, as if he was about to burn, he felt an instinctive sense of restlessness, but he quickly suppressed this feeling of anxiety, calmed down quickly, and looked at Scanning the surroundings, the pupils shrank into a small spot, making the whites of the eyes too large, and looked a little horrified.

"Huh?" Du Dian suddenly saw that there seemed to be a weak source of heat in the ground under his feet.

With a thought in his heart, he suddenly thought of a possibility, and immediately said: "There should be a nest under our feet, dig it out immediately!"

"what?"

Ian and the others were taken aback.

Du Dian said anxiously: "If you don't want to die, dig out the passage immediately. Below this should be the second lair of the Wind Listener!"

Seeing Du Dian's urgency, Ian suddenly came back to his senses. Although he didn't have time to think about the reason, he had no other way at the moment, and immediately said: "Listen to Xiao Du, hurry up!"

Seeing this, everyone immediately took out the pickaxe in the backpack. The all-metal special pickaxes are not wooden handles, so they can exert their strength to a great extent, and the speed of digging the soil is very fast.

While everyone was chiseling, Du Dian explained to everyone: "There is no such thing as a wind listener living nearby. It must have other uses for such a deep place. My thermal vision saw a weak source of heat below here. , if I'm not mistaken, it is probably the egg it laid!"

"Is there a heat source below?" Ian and the others' eyes lit up when they heard Du Dian's words, and the speed of digging the soil became even harder.

With a bang, in less than half a minute, everyone worked together to dig a huge hole. With Ruby's hard hoeing, the soil under their feet suddenly collapsed, and everyone fell into it.

After falling from a height of seven or eight meters, everyone fell to the ground. Regardless of the pain in their bodies, everyone slapped their palms and quickly turned over and looked around vigilantly.

However, when the palm is slapped on the ground, the touch feels extremely sticky, like countless snot-like mucus, but the viscosity of this mucus is far from that of snot, and it is higher than the viscosity of glue.

Du Dian turned over and looked around quickly, and suddenly saw countless white eggs in this empty and dark nest. There were several towering pillars in the nest, with a lot of sticky filaments wrapped around them, and these white eggs , shrinking slightly, like a beating heart, exuding a faint fishy smell and a smell like swill.

Du Dian breathed a sigh of relief, his guess was right, this is indeed the real lair of the listener.

Ian and the others also reacted. With a chirp, Ruby re-ignited two torches and held them up high to illuminate the scene in the nest. The flickering flames fluttered on the white eggs, flickering on and off. r
