Chapter 529: Attack
"There is actually...another lair here." Ian was a little stunned as he looked at the oval white eggs standing silently around him.
Ruby swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Could it be the ovaries of the listeners here? Could it be that these... are all listeners who haven't hatched yet?"
Hearing his words, the eyes of Luna, Rosemary and the others lit up, showing a bit of greed and fiery color. If these are the eggs of the Wind Listener, it means that these are rare monster cubs, as long as they hatch Entering the growth stage, you can kill and take out the parasitic soul worms, and judging by the number of densely packed eggs around, there are at least dozens of them, which is simply a windfall!
boom!
Suddenly, a violent roar came from the cave above the head, pulling everyone's thoughts back to reality. Before everyone could react, they heard an angry roar, extremely loud, like an explosion like thunder.
Amidst the roar, the entire lair trembled slightly, and the black substance on the rock wall fell off.
Ian and the others turned pale instantly, and hurriedly looked up. A large amount of sand and dust fell from the hole they dug, and it seemed that it would collapse at any time.
"Quick, find the exit." Ian said quickly.
Du Dian shook his head slightly and said: "It's useless, there is no road here, it is closed."
Ruby, Luna and the others who were just about to act were stunned and looked at him puzzled, with a hint of fear in their eyes, as if the fear was really what Du Dian said.
Du Dian smiled bitterly, and said: "There is no wind around, and Captain, don't you feel it? The temperature here is very high, much higher than the surface. If I guess right, the environment here is based on the environmental structure of the ovary. Yes, in order to hatch these eggs, a higher temperature is required, so the listener has completely sealed the place, even if there is a passage, it is closed and needs to be dug open, and the passage will only be connected to the cave above."
After hearing his words, everyone realized that the abnormal temperature and stuffy air around them were indeed as Dudiando said, without a breeze.
Luna couldn't help but said: "Then, what should we do? Are we waiting to die here? That thing will get into the cave later and find it here. Aren't we throwing ourselves into a trap?"
Ian's complexion changed, and he gritted his teeth and said: "At this point, we can only fight to the death. Set up traps immediately, get ready to fight, and rush out if you find the opportunity. Ruby and Eugene, you should find the exit first, maybe there will be a way out." Other exports are not necessarily."
Ruby and Eugene nodded, held their torches high, and walked along the gap between the white eggs,
After a while, the two returned to the front of the team. Ruby said in a daze, "There is really no exit, there are rock walls everywhere."
Hearing this, Ian and the others, who were holding on to the last glimmer of hope, also looked gloomy, a little disappointed, but they were not too disappointed because they had prepared before.
Ian and Martin quickly cleared up their mood and continued to prepare the traps in their hands. There were poisonous nets made of special materials, back arrow catapults and other easy-to-carry trap materials, which were placed in the shadow under the cave.
After a while, the trap is finished.
Ian took a deep breath, took a few steps back, hid near a white egg next to him, and said in a low voice, "Prepare for an ambush."
Everyone waited with bated breath.
After a few minutes, Martin suddenly spoke and said in a low voice, "There seems to be no movement up there for a long time."
Ian was startled for a moment, and suddenly remembered that since the previous roar, the movement above has gradually stopped. Could it be that the thing gave up chasing and killing them?
Luna, who was hiding behind another white egg, said quietly: "Could it be that its body is too big and it's stuck in the cave and can't get in?"
"It's possible." Ian's eyes flickered slightly, recalling the location of the roar he heard earlier, shaking his head and saying: "It should still be in the cave, and it hasn't left."
Everyone naturally knew this. If they were leaving, the loud footsteps would gradually go away, but it didn't happen, but stopped. Obviously, after the thing couldn't squeeze into the cave, it seemed to be waiting for a rabbit.
After continuing to squat for a while, Eugene stood up first, panting heavily, and said, "It's too hot here, since it can't get in, why don't we wait up there?"
Ian frowned, and immediately said: "Keep your voice down, don't disturb it. Things of this size have a big appetite, and they usually don't have much patience. They will leave after a while. Don't act rashly."
Eugene shrugged, but said nothing more.
Gradually, as there was no movement outside, everyone came out of their hiding places, one by one, as if they were fished out of the water, with messy heads hanging down on the hard skull, only Ian was completely covered. There is no sweat at all, and the body temperature is very normal.
"Are we going to wait like this?" Ruby asked.
Ian nodded, "Wait until it leaves."
Seeing that there was no other way, everyone stopped talking and found a clean place to sit down and rest. However, there is almost no clean place in this lair, and the ground is full of sticky things, both like feces, and the mucus secreted by monsters, and some are like sloughed soft skin, hanging sticky on the ground. Together, they stink like mud.
In the sweltering temperature, the stench was at its peak.
Luna tightly covered her nose, her face was extremely pale, and her body was limp, as if she would faint at any moment.
Ian, Martin and the others were a little worried when they saw that her condition was not good. Ian fanned Luna and said, "Drink some water, take it easy."
Luna nodded weakly, took out some water from her backpack and drank some, her complexion improved a little, but not long after, her whole body was sweating profusely, her face was extremely pale, and she sat slumped on the ground.
Martin frowned and said, "It's not an option to go on like this. The smell here is too strong. Otherwise, let Luna go up by herself first and stay there."
Ian looked at Luna who was about to be stunned at any moment, hesitated, and nodded.
Everyone worked together to send Luna outside the cave.
Luna lay on her stomach by the hole above her head, panting heavily for the "fresh" air outside, which relieved her a little.
Seeing Luna's appearance, Du Dian secretly rejoiced in his heart. Fortunately, he replaced the magic mark of "Fearer" in time. The oversensitive sense of smell is very good at certain times, but the weakness is also very obvious. Although Luna is not a noble lady , not so pretentious, able to tolerate some unpleasant smells, but this is not a matter of tolerance, but a physiological reaction of the body.
Just like some people vomit when they smell certain odors.
Among the five senses of human beings, smell is the most powerful sense to stimulate the nerves. Excessive stimulation of the nerves will cause the body to be overwhelmed and cause coma.
"Let's spread out, don't crowd together." Ian said to the rest.
Everyone sat slightly apart and waited silently.
The nest is silent, only the densely packed white eggs are beating gently.
An hour, two hours... More than ten hours passed in the blink of an eye, and there was still no movement above the cave, and it was even suspected that the thing had left.
But everyone still didn't dare to act rashly, because the thing might have fallen asleep there.
In a blink of an eye, five days passed.
In the lair, everyone's faces were not very good-looking. Although after five days, everyone had already gotten used to this stuffy and extremely smelly environment, but what they didn't expect was that the thing that caused such a big commotion before could be found in the So long to wait outside!
According to Ian's initial deduction, this thing should leave soon, not even a day.
But now the wait is five days, and there is still no movement outside.
"The temperature here is too high, and our food is about to go bad." Rosemary took out some water and drank a little, only wet her lips, then put it away, and said to Ian: "If this continues, we will starve to death." It's in here."
Although they didn't exhaust their energy while waiting, their daily basic needs were still high. Although their food was sealed and waterproof, it couldn't withstand the high temperature.
Ian's face was gloomy and he said nothing.
Seeing that he had no plan, Rosemary sighed, and turned her head to look at Ruby. Before entering the cave, Ruby discarded the bag of food. Now they can only rely on the food in their backpacks to survive. These foods are only enough for them to live frugally for half a month. Although after half a month, they will not starve to death, but in a state of empty stomach, the condition of all aspects of the body will naturally decline, including the reaction force.
"I don't think it's an option to continue waiting." Du Dian glanced at the people sitting around the cave, seeing that the time was almost up, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and whispered: "If that thing falls asleep, it will last for half a month." , we simply can’t last that long.”
"Then what do you say?" Martin squinted at Du Dian. Although Du Dian's performance was good a few times before, he was a little appreciative, but he was already a little irritable after staying here for five consecutive days.
Du Dian looked at Eugene sitting next to a white egg, and said: "I think we need to send someone to check the situation to see if the thing is really asleep or has left quietly. If it is sleeping, we Maybe we can leave quietly when it is asleep."
