502 Trapped

() Sitting cross-legged at the end of this almost circular passage, Lei Meng had a mixed expression on his face of helplessness and uncontrollable anger.

Originally, he was forced to enter this strange world, but after seeing the insect that can make all wizards despair, Raymond had the idea of ​​"if you can't provoke it, you can hide it".

But I don't know what kind of weirdness exists in this world. His mental power can only detect Raymond within a range of 200 meters inside the rock. Except for the azimuth, all the detectable range is actually full of stones.

All are gray rock layers, according to the analysis of the chip, the age of its formation is already millions of years ago, its hardness and composition are similar to the magmatic rock recorded in the chip, and it is an ordinary stone with moderate hardness.

After careful inspection and analysis of this passage, Raymond discovered that the passage he was currently in was also corroded by those insects with acid. ..

In particular, the inspection of the rock at the bottom of this passage led Raymond to discover a large number of fine holes in the rock at the end of the cave, and the traces of corrosion should not exceed ten hours according to the analysis of the chip.

Combined with the fact that these insects are still attacking the collapsed gravel area with acid mist, the insects blocked in the passage by the gravel obviously regard digging this passage as an important task.

Therefore, after these insects opened up the first gravel area, a large number of tiny magical creatures gathered in the gravel area blocked in the passage, and began to spray acid mist on the collapsed gravel in the passage. Breathing out, trying to make this channel unblocked again.

What also made Raymond somewhat desperate was that these weird insects were not only extremely sensitive to energy fluctuations, but even the approach of his mental power would cause them to become manic.

Therefore, after Raymond ordered the chip to estimate the corrosion rate of this insect. Knowing that the two-meter-thick gravel area can block the insects for two days at most, it will be broken through by the acid mist they spit out.

Knowing that he was in a predicament, Raymond immediately took action after carefully considering the risks he was facing.

Attacking the passage adjacent to the gravel area finally formed a ten-meter-long gravel area, allowing him to have a certain amount of time to get out of the predicament in front of him.

And since any position within the scope of mental power is a rock, after avoiding the possible extension direction of this passage, Lei Meng randomly chose a direction and started working.

First, a gap was made on the rock wall, and then Raymond used the tough spell vines to pierce into the rock gap, and the rock was broken and pulled out by the action of the plant vines. form new channels.

Through the monitoring of this kind of behavior by the chip, in the face of such a hard rock, if it is destroyed by brute force, the collapse speed will be more than doubled, but the required mana is five times that of using the magic vine.

Therefore, although Raymond's speed of digging tunnels with the magical vines has been reduced a lot, such a method does not consume much mana for him.

But after Raymond dug a 50-meter-long passage. However, he had to make major adjustments to the original direction.

Because under his mental power which can only probe 200 meters. He found an insect nest again.

The area was far larger than the hall Raymond had seen before. As many as hundreds of huge insect nests were approached by Raymond's mental power, and there was a serious disturbance immediately.

In addition to the fist-sized giant insects that he had seen before, in this hall two hundred meters away from Raymond's passage, Raymond also found even larger individuals.

These insects, which are extremely sensitive to fluctuations in mental power, flocked to Raymond's direction immediately after they sensed Raymond's mental power. He began to spit acid mist towards the stone wall there, as if he wanted to find where Raymond was.

The distance of two hundred meters allowed Raymond to observe every move of these magical creatures with peace of mind.

In this space of hundreds of huge insect nests, the largest individual was more than twenty centimeters long. And the strength of their dark shells also seemed to have been greatly improved, and what surprised Lei Meng the most was that this oversized individual obviously possessed a certain amount of wisdom.

After they sensed the existence of Raymond's mental power, they used the acid mist in their bodies to form a standard circle on the stone wall, followed by these huge insects and withdrew, as if they had commanding authority. Let the smallest insects gather and start working in the circular area they have drawn.

The stone wall whose corroded area had been reduced began to melt at an astonishing speed, and Raymond, who was stunned, immediately ordered the chip to issue an order. "Calculate the rock dissolution rate in this way!"

"Task creation, start analysis..."

The stereotyped sound of the chip echoed in his mind. Following the speculation and refresh of the simulated data, the chip displayed the conclusion in front of Lei Meng after a while.

It only needs to dissolve a hole with a diameter of 50 centimeters. According to the acid solution rock dissolution rate of the smallest insects, they will form a 20-meter-long channel every day!

And if the largest insects erode this rock, they will advance at a speed of fifty meters per day.

After ordering the chip to mark the location with hundreds of insect nests, Raymond immediately changed his direction and re-selected a location to dig.

But on the third day after Raymond changed his direction, he found a passage dug out by this creature again within the scope of his spiritual exploration!

The three-meter-wide, almost circular passage was very similar to the one Raymond entered first.

And in the passage without rocks, the distance that Raymond's mental power could explore finally returned to normal.

However, Lei Meng, who followed this passage to investigate, found the location of its insect nest at a position of 200 meters from the end of this passage.

In the more than 30 huge insect nests, there is no insect with a body length of more than 20 centimeters, but even those insects the size of a fist seem to have a special ability to find the source of spiritual power. At the closest point to Raymond, erosion of the rock began in the direction of Raymond.

There was no way to deal with such a situation, and Raymond, who hadn't figured out how to face these huge numbers of insects, had to give up the tunnel that had been dug for two days, and changed direction again... (To be continued. .)
