Chapter 289
That is to determine how to control the ink shadow.
Although the ink shadow can fight on its own, it is not a real person after all. When fighting, it relies more on ability and instinct, and its combat effectiveness will be somewhat discounted.
So if conditions permit, it is better to have someone control them.
Of course, the snow ferret can control them. If you put all your energy on this and let it control the insect king and the three ink shadows by itself, it can also be done.
But if you consider the combat effectiveness of the snow ferret itself, this arrangement is a bit inappropriate.
Whether it is the spiritual spells of the soul, the power of the underworld, or the control of the black insect swarm, the snow ferret can do a lot of things.
It would be a pity to use all its energy to control the ink shadow.
And since Xiu Linsi took the initiative to say that she did not want to go on a deep adventure with them and could control the ink shadow at home, then Lu Lin naturally had no reason not to follow this idea.
However, everyone still had some doubts about Xiu Linsi controlling three at once.
After all... there was no need for this at all.
There were also practitioners of the Black Magic School in the camp. If necessary, two of them could be transferred to help Xiu Linsi control the Mo Ying together. It was not a big deal.
But Xiu Linsi rejected the proposal and said that Lu Lin and others had misunderstood her.
She did not say that she could barely control three Mo Yings by herself.
Rather, if she was allowed to control three Mo Yings by herself, the effect would be better than that of three people controlling them.
She was a person who was very good at multitasking. With some special spells, it was not difficult for her to create two of her own mental clones and control three Mo Yings at the same time.
On the contrary, because the three black shadows were under the control of one person, there was no need for verbal communication or mind communication when they cooperated. Not only did they save time for communication, but they also avoided the problem of understanding.
In this case, the degree of tacit cooperation between the three black shadows would be completely incomparable to the cooperation of multiple people.
According to this statement, Lu Lin naturally had no reason to stop Xiu Linsi from controlling three at once. After letting her try to make sure there was no problem, Lu Lin and others ate, drank, and rested for a while, and then set off immediately.
There was only one day left today, so we had to hurry up. If we delayed until tomorrow, I'm afraid there would be another troublesome insect swarm battle.
However, this time the process of going deep into the underground city was extremely smooth.
Just as we guessed in the previous battle, all the insects in the insect nest did lose their lives in that battle. Since Lu Lin and others went deep into the underground city, they had not seen even a single insect, nor had they encountered even a single attack.
Even the sound of insect activity could not be heard at all in the cave at this time.
The only sound that could be heard was the faint sound of wailing coming from the deepest part of the dungeon.
This sound had been heard before, and Lu Lin did not think it was strange or worth noting. His attention was always on Li Mi.
After all, he was heading to the depths of the dungeon. He was always worried that Li Mi's PTSD would not cause a certain opportunity, and a certain memory from the past would invade his brain, causing the disease to flare up.
Along the way, he did notice that Li Mi had a few abnormalities, as if she had recalled something, her pupils trembled, and her body trembled a little, as if she had recalled something very bad.
But Li Mi did not retreat because of these things. Instead, she could quickly return to normal every time, pretending that nothing had happened.
She was obviously still forcing herself.
But Lu Lin did not think this was a bad thing.
According to Lu Lin's observation, the time when Li Mi showed abnormality was shorter and shorter. At first, the reaction was quite strong, but later, she just shook her head and thought it was over.
She actually used Lu Lin's advice and tried to face the memories that came to her mind in the underground city.
Only when she got used to them, understood them, and was no longer afraid of them, could she really come out.
Before, Lu Lin always felt that Li Mi's recovery was probably a long way off.
But now, the situation seems to have taken a turn for the better.
It is very likely that the day when Li Mi's illness is basically recovered is not too far away.
However, today they came to the extremely dangerous underground city after all. Even if Lu Lin wanted to help guide Li Mi's illness, he didn't have the time and leisure.
The roads in the insect swarm are intricate. The further you go inside, the more you can feel the horror of the scale of the insect swarm.
But now, on this empty road, not even a half insect shadow can be seen, which is really a bit deserted.
They continued to explore and go deeper. After walking for almost half a day, they finally arrived at what seemed to be the lowest level of the entire underground city.
They stopped in front of an unusually spacious passage. ⑸
The size of this passage seemed to be not only for ordinary Zergs to pass through. Even for the size of the Zerg King, this passage was really too big.
And most importantly, the sobbing sound they could hear from time to time came from the back of this passage. flow.
After everyone stopped to rest for a while, Luodi walked in front and led everyone into the passage. ⑹
As we walked further inside, the sobs became clearer, and at the same time, the surrounding space continued to expand. cedar
Finally, everyone came to an empty underground cave. ④⑨
At the same time, they also saw what the deity who made the cry looked like. ④Edge
It was a huge creature. Yasi
With just one glance, Lu Lin was sure that it was the master of the insect nest and the mother of the insect nest. Ship Ba
Just as Lu Lin guessed, the creature in front of him had lost the ability to move. Her size was so huge that it was immeasurable. Her flesh and blood had been completely integrated with the surrounding environment. Various deformed and strange organs seemed to maintain important functions. Filled her body. Suave
Lu Lin tentatively called it the "Mother of the Insect Hive", or the "Insect Queen". :Ear
The degree of deformity of her physiological structure is even worse than that of the queen ant. ⑨
Putting on the crow mask, Lu Lin carefully observed the creatures not far away. grass
The insect queen's body is transparent and soft, but it blends perfectly with the surrounding hard rock formations, forming a unique and weird landscape. thing
The surface of her body is covered with a layer of translucent soft material. This material looks as elastic as jelly, but in fact it has extremely strong toughness and strength, and can expand, contract and deform freely.
But the most eye-catching thing is what is under the transparent material.
Through this layer of material, one can vaguely see the swarms of crawling insects and the complex intertwined organizational structure inside.
This swollen, pathological physiological structure with no fixed rules and completely dominated by the reproductive function covered the walls of the dungeon in large areas.
And within these morbid structures, if you look closely, you can find that they contain a lot of magic.
It is strange that this insect queen can retain such a large amount of magic power even though she lives with a creature that possesses the power of negative light.
And compared to less rare things like magic power, what impressed Lu Lin the most was the head of this thing.
This thing's head doesn't look human at all, it's just a huge sac-like structure. The surface of the sac-like structure is covered with uneven lines, and the layers of folds are piled together, making people feel sick when they look at it.
In the center of the head, there is a huge and terrifying mouthpart hidden. The mouthparts are composed of countless tiny sharp teeth and wriggling tongues. They open and close constantly, making a heart-stopping sound.
Of course, these so-called "small sharp teeth" are the "daggers" in the hands of the insect people that Lu Lin and others obtained.
Apart from these, the most bizarre thing is the countless translucent tentacles that are constantly waving and twisting all over its body.
8. Some of these tentacles grew out of the soft bulging thing, while others drilled directly out of the rock wall. I don't know how they did it.
The length and number of the parrots were extremely exaggerated. Lu Lin estimated that if they really took action, these terrifying tentacles would probably cause them a lot of trouble. Ba
(7) At the bottom of the entire underground space, there lies a huge worm tail. 5
⒍Just like the swollen tail of the queen ant, although the size of this insect is scary enough, the size of this tail is probably twice as large as the other parts combined. Qiao
6 This is undoubtedly the organ it uses to cultivate its offspring. There are so many insect eggs inside it that it can make people without cryptophobia feel nauseated. At the same time, there are also many larvae, which are actually among the insect tails. Swim back and forth.粶
San Lulin and others were observing the insect queen, and the insect queen also noticed Lu Lin and others. pomegranate
⒋Lu Lin watched helplessly as its ferocious mouth slowly opened, revealing countless terrifying fangs. San
Then, a sad dirge sounded from its mouth, and violent magic began to rage in the cave, causing the entire underground city to tremble. ⑷
Ai Obviously, the unknown creature in front of him was a little too enthusiastic. Four
The moon has just met, but it seems to be ready to fight to the death with everyone. Xiao
qChapter 461: Is this the legendary way of treating descendants like dirt?
uThe shrill roar was deafening, and a large number of white insects poured out from all over the cave like a tide, rushing toward everyone.
N Lulin thought that the other party had no reserves of white worms, but he didn't expect that there would be such a large group.
: However, looking at the size of these white worms, they are obviously "newborns". They may have been dragged into the battlefield by their "mother" not long after they were born.
"A Diao, can you just flood this place with water?" Lu Lin asked.
After all, since the opponent cannot move, in theory, as long as there is enough water in the underworld, you can directly let the opponent take a bath in the underworld.
"It's currently impossible to fill it all up. The space here is too big. The scale of the Underworld Beach is still very limited. And although this is the deepest place, there seems to be a passage leading further down," said the ferret. , "As for dealing with these little guys, it doesn't have to be so troublesome."
After saying that, it opened its hands, invisible waves spread, and then countless black insects appeared out of thin air around everyone in a trance of light and shadow.
These black insects did not move forward. Instead, they lined up according to a certain body shape pattern and quickly formed a wide front line, like an indestructible black barrier, lying in front of everyone.
Swarms of white insects come in like a tide, like white waves hitting a black reef. Black and white intertwine, creating a spectacular picture.
This huge scene makes the battle look particularly fierce, but if you observe carefully, you will find that no matter how bravely the white worms attack, the black worms are like black reefs standing on the seashore, and they are unmoved no matter how the wind blows and the waves hit them.
In the final analysis, although there are many white worms, their size is too disadvantageous, and they can't form an effective impact on the black worms.
Of course, the deformed worm mother would not think that she can gain much results by relying on these newly born cubs. At the same time as the worms collided, the body that was integrated with the entire cave wall also sent out extremely strong spell fluctuations.
Then, on its towering and huge body, groups of dazzling bright yellow light burst out from everywhere, like countless dim lights lit in the dark.
But Lu Lin saw clearly that it was not a light, but the search light emitted by countless magic circles when they were activated.
Based on the fluctuation of magic power and the magic elements that reacted in the surroundings, all these magics were earth magic.
And earth magic is also one of the few magics that can have an effect on enemies with white worm characteristics among many magic categories.
The worm mother chose this magic of the attribute, obviously knowing that the black worm also has the same characteristics as the white worm.
At the same time, it should have no intention of using its own magic power to support these "descendants", and completely regarded these white worms charging in front as cannon fodder.
When it revealed its intention, Lu Lin also responded immediately.
The only magician among the three Moying directly put his hands together in front of him and formed a hand seal.
This is the most basic way for magicians to enhance magic and reduce consumption when there is no medium for casting spells.
The next moment, the land around everyone began to desertify, and the heavy quicksand turned into a hemispherical barrier that covered everyone and the battlefield where the black and white worms were fighting. Even the ground under everyone's feet was only a whole solid stone slab, and the surrounding and bottom of the stone slab were also wrapped in quicksand.
Almost at the same time as the quicksand barrier was completed, countless earth magics bombarded the place where everyone was and the battlefield where the black and white worms were fighting.
Lu Lin could not see the situation on the battlefield because his vision was blocked by the quicksand, but Luo Di and others could still observe the outside world through other means of perception.
Lu Lin was curious about the situation outside, so he asked Luo Di.
The latter directly used a small magic to show the outside world in front of Lu Lin.
At just one glance, Lu Lin's eyes widened.
Previously, he just wanted to see what kind of magic the other party would use, whether it would summon large rocks to crush him or small sharp stone spikes.
In the end, what appeared before him was a spectacular scene that could be called an earth magic expo.
⑵九4¤*0四ˇ毶;『倀數思oSUoo: Countless different earth magic attacks bombarded from all directions.
The ground seemed to come alive, and huge rocks broke out of the ground as if they had life. They rolled and grew in the air, with a yellowish luster and rough stone texture, whistling and smashing towards the quicksand barrier, creating circles of ripples on the barrier.
The geomagnetic force leaped on the surrounding land, and tiny sand and dust particles seemed to be pulled by some force, jumping up one after another, forming dust meteors in the air, shooting towards the quicksand barrier. From the inside, you can see countless sand thorns that were concave due to this attack.
The ground around the barrier burst into countless cracks, and sharp rock thorns pierced out from them. They were straight and sharp, flashing with a cold crystal luster, and collided with the quicksand barrier, crashing into it. While shattering, a lot of sand and dust were also shaken away, causing the barrier to tremble continuously.
In addition, the opponent also used sand and dust magic. A lot of gravel was turned into quicksand by the flowing magic, and then rolled up from the ground, forming pieces of rotating sand and dust clouds that chose the opposite direction of the quicksand barrier, covering the quicksand barrier, as if trying to weaken the quicksand barrier's defense in this way.
Looking at these dazzling magics, Lu Lin's mind suddenly emerged with their original speculation about the insect mother.
"Hey, Luo Di, these magics..." Lu Lin looked at the warrior beside him who had lived for who knows how many years.
"Well, they are all magics that the mages of Oasis City used to love to use," Luo Di said, "It does have the power of those guys, but it seems that the power of Mo Ying is not among them. Otherwise, it should be easy to solve this level of barrier. ”
“No matter what the reason is, it sounds like good news,” Lu Lin said.
“So do you have any battle plan?” Xiu Linsi’s voice came from Mo Ying’s body, “This guy’s magic power is like endless. I have to expand my domain to withstand it. I don’t have time for you to chat leisurely here.”
“How can there be any plan? The previous understanding of this guy was just a few fragments. I can only imagine now,” Lu Lin also had a headache.
“Haha, I think so,” Luo Di waved his hand, and the dark golden staff appeared in his hand, “Planning always requires intelligence, so I’d better go and fight it first.”
“Wait, I’ll go too,” Oro also came over.
"In that case, take Ink Shadow B with you," Lu Lin said, "It's big and can help you attract positive attention."
"Got it, I'll send the remaining two Ink Shadows out directly," Xiu Lins' voice came again, "The source of the magic power these guys use is not with me, I don't even know how much magic power they have left, I really don't know if they keep wasting it."
"Okay, then..." Luo Di's eyes turned to Lu Lin again.
