Chapter 168 Showdown, the Origin of Spinal Worms, and the Explosion of Volcanoes
This is Shen Jie's artistic conception test.
Naturally, he has to make the final decision.
At this point, even Lin Feng could not interfere too much. After all, the current killing mood could no longer be condensed, and the deadline was less than thirty days.
Although he had been bearish on life and death before, now that it was time to make a choice, Shen Jie hesitated.
Because it was the woman in front of me who gave the plan.
This "woman" named Zhiyi may actually be the mother queen of the Zerg tribe.
Like Chen Yanyan's worries, Shen Jie was also skeptical about Zhi Yi's initiative.
He can face his own death calmly, but he cannot die in an unknown way, surrounded by lies and schemes.
"In a direct confrontation, there is only a 30% chance of winning?"
So Shen Jie asked reluctantly.
Xie curled her lips and looked at the tiger-tooth chain sword in Lin Feng's hand:
"Of course, and of the 30%, 20% is due to it. Only this chain sword can break through the solid defense of the king spine insect, and the last 10% is provided by Lin Feng and me."
"As for you..."
"If you want to stay awake, you must not be completely infected by the killing concept. The limit of your strength will naturally be reduced by several levels, so it is not even considered to be 10%."
"Not only that, once the artistic conception test fails, the murderous artistic conception currently contained in your brain will spread out like nuclear radiation, contaminating the nervous systems of all nearby beings, causing them to also fall into violent killings, and the number of people in the radius will be reduced. One hundred meters turned into a restricted area.”
"Only strong people who can resist the influence of artistic conception and also control the artistic conception can carry out the removal process."
"Otherwise, we have to wait for the nearby biomass to burn out, and this pollution will last for decades or hundreds of years."
Shen Jie's face turned pale. He knew that what the other party said about strength and chance of winning was actually correct.
I went to the crater twice, but I could only deal with the attacks of the King Spine Insect. Coupled with my own melee skills, I couldn't break the King Insect's armor defense...
If you keep doing it, you won't have any chance of winning.
Even if the operation in the underground brood is replicated, taking personal risks to create offensive opportunities for Lin Feng, we must also take into account the various back-up methods that the king spine worm can escape and repair at any time in the volcanic lava.
However, compared to these, the consequences of failing the trial worried Shen Jie even more.
After entering the world of artistic conception, Shen Jie always thought that this challenge was only related to his own life and death, but he did not expect that it would affect the real world after his death.
At that time, so many soldiers in the camp, including the elite second-order legions, will become bloodthirsty and crazy due to the influence of the killing mood...
If it were the Thirteenth Division that resisted the Zerg, the top batch of combat power would all be buried here with him.
Then the entire Wucheng defense line will collapse at a touch, and Zhang Liying, who has been waiting for her triumphant return, will also face a fateful fate.
Thinking of this, Shen Jie was silent for a while and then said:
"If the trial fails, this murderous mood will be released from my body and pollute the outside world. Then I should be able to order the soldiers outside to stay away as soon as possible!"
"Let them enter it and risk killing the tiger spine insects. If I run out of mental energy or give up on my own initiative, won't I kill them all together..."
Lin Feng sighed, and then told the truth:
"If you let you pollute the restricted area, the Zerg Mother Queen will use this area to add additional killing attribute skills to the tiger spine insects. Just like me sending second-level awakened warriors to get close to the cocoon, it will only give the Zerg an advantage. "
"So we are here this time to help you give it a final try. Otherwise, according to the original plan, it will definitely need to be destroyed remotely to avoid future troubles."
Chi Yi also nodded and followed Lin Feng's words:
"Having said that, I have also made arrangements in advance. Before building the spiritual channel, a protective shield of spiritual energy is condensed on the surface of the cocoon, which can delay the spread of the killing intention, give nearby soldiers time to evacuate, and destroy the insect. Cocoon Preparation.”
Hearing that the two men were not acting recklessly, Shen Jie breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Xie Yi and said in a low voice:
"Last question..."
"Why did you choose to help humans, especially risking your life to rescue me. I know Brother Feng is not controlled by you."
Seeing this, Zhizhi glanced at Lin Feng beside her. She was asking him if he told the truth.
Lin Feng's eyes were calm and he nodded slightly.
Shen Jie is a smart man, but unfortunately he is also about to die. Since he wants to clear up the doubts in his heart and know the truth before making a desperate move...
Lin Feng had no reason to continue hiding it.
What's more, if the trial is successful and the last three people can really kill the king's spine worm, Shen Jie, who has obtained the killing mood, will naturally become a strong competitor for the fourth-level hunting king.
Such potential is enough to participate in the cooperation plan between Lin Feng and Chi Yi.
After getting Lin Feng's approval, Chizi opened his mouth and said:
"The Zerg you see now is not the original appearance of the Zerg, but has been enslaved and manipulated into a war machine by a terrifying existence."
"With the help of Lin Feng, I lifted the genetic seal and regained my self-awareness, so I planned to establish an alliance with him to keep warm and deal with our common enemy..."
"Haicheng Empress has entered the middle stage of the third level!"
"This is the reason why I followed Lin Feng. As for my body, I need to use the biomass resources of Taihu Lake to shorten the strength gap with other Queen Mothers as soon as possible."
Shen Jie looked surprised, then thoughtfully:
"So the Thirteenth Division continues to stay in Wucheng just to help you delay time?!"
Lin Feng nodded:
"In addition, we can also better understand the high-level Queen Mothers and prepare for us to kill them."
"If this trial of the Killing Concept succeeds, you, me, and three others will have enough strength to challenge and kill an early-stage third-level Zerg Mother Queen..."
"Reverse the current one-sided defeat of mankind!"
"This is one of the reasons why I decided to enter here despite dissuasion."
After hearing the two explanations, Shen Jie suddenly felt a heavy burden on his body, as if he had some sense of mission pushing himself forward.
After a long silence, he said in a deep voice:
"Thank you. In that case, the only problem now is how to completely detonate this large volcano without harming ourselves..."
Shen Jie pointed to the poisonous mist miasma zone halfway up the mountain. The rock formations there were quite thick, at least nearly five hundred meters thick. They were all made of obsidian, which was three or four times harder than ordinary rocks. How to detonate them at the same time...
became the next problem.
Lin Feng frowned slightly and used the electromagnetic gun to conduct long-range bombardment. Even if the firepower covered it, it would not be able to blow up the entire volcano.
At most, it can only make a big hole and let the hot magma accumulated in it erupt and flow out. However, instead of destroying the volcano, doing so will reduce its internal pressure and make it more stable.
The two people who thought of this focused their attention on the woman behind them.
The corner of the cockroach's mouth raised slightly:
"It seems that you need to refresh your knowledge on geography. This is very important before you can become a being in the universe."
"Volcanoes are the release source of heat energy in the earth's core. They are not just the crater that rises on the surface. This is the release point."
"You can think of it as a Zerg nest. The surface part is just the tip of the iceberg, and underground, there are various branches like tree roots."
"The volcano is just the main vein, the main air valve, which is probably responsible for more than half of the heat energy release, but around it, there are the other half of the heat dissipation vents."
"You've been here for several months..."
"You must have encountered terrain that looks like this branch of heat dissipation vents, right?"
Seeing the two people turning their eyes to him again, Shen Jie lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
More than a month has passed since this resurrection, and in order to reduce the impact of the killing artistic conception, he has been choosing to forget his past experiences in the artistic conception.
Keep only a few things in mind.
For example, kill the king spine insect, escape... go back to see Zhang Liying, etc...
Now that he has to start recalling the memories around the volcano, he really can't find anything special for a while...
Lin Feng saw Shen Jie's expression becoming increasingly ferocious. He sighed and comforted:
"If you can't remember it, don't think about it. It's still early anyway. The three of us will investigate separately. We can find out soon..."
"Wait!" Shen Jie suddenly said, his palms covered with insect beetles were grasping his face, which was gradually covered with black and yellow armor. A flash of light flashed through his eyes between his fingers.
After interrupting Lin Feng's suggestion, Shen Jie tore off the newly grown insect beetles on his face with his claws, ignoring the bloody wound next to his cheek, and then spoke:
"I remembered!"
"Right in the outermost area where black spine worms are active..."
"When I first came here, in order to avoid the black spine attack, I hid on a piece of gray-white volcanic rock. It was porous volcanic rock, very thin and brittle, and it would break directly if there was a little bit of strong pressure. At that time, I was just an ordinary person. , so I can lie down on it peacefully.”
"Those blowholes are constantly emitting heat, but there is a sinkhole cave below, where countless black spine worms are gathered in a dormant state."
"That piece of porous volcanic rock is actually the cave dome."
"At that time, I simply thought that the cave was the nest of the black spine worm. Now that I think about it, the black spine worm actually relies on the residual heat of that branch to survive and evolve."
The speaker had no intention, but the listener had intention. But after listening to what Shen Jie said, Lin Feng suddenly understood.
The origin and history of the Spinosaurus Spinosaurus was slowly taking shape in his mind at this moment:
This is a primitive and desolate planet, but for the planet itself, it is young.
Years of geothermal activity have repeatedly heated and melted the exposed earth. The magma cooled into obsidian, forming a hard black shell that covered the entire planet.
Then the first primitive spine worms were born from obsidian with the lowest temperature, so their body surfaces were dark black.
Relying on the residual heat from the volcanic branches, this group of small black bugs thrived and eventually left the obsidian area and set foot in other places on the surface.
This is the sulfur hot spring zone near the volcano.
Here they come into contact with water and the bright yellow sulfur poison.
During this period, in addition to overcoming and adapting to these, there was also the extremely high hot spring temperature, so most of the black spine worms died, but those who survived successfully evolved into second-order tiger spine worms, or it is more suitable to say that yellow spine worms.
In the long years that followed, most tiger spine insects were no longer satisfied with the status quo, or the environment in the sulfur hot spring area became increasingly crowded and resources became increasingly scarce, so one day...
They decided to continue their journey!
It began to attack the last insect-free zone on the surface, the active volcano.
This time, more spine worms fell than those who conquered the sulfur hot spring zone last time, and the time span was also longer!
A very small number of tiger spine insects successfully adapted to the hot magma in the crater. Not only did their appearance turn into gold, but their size and strength also doubled.
And these pioneers naturally became high-level insects that dominated this land, the king spine insects of the spine insects!
Thinking of this, Lin Feng couldn't help but think of something, and his whole body suddenly trembled.
Then he quickly looked at the solemn expression of Ling Yi.
The other party shook his head imperceptibly, indicating Lin Feng to shut up and not mention the thoughts in his mind.
Lin Feng, who had already "experienced" the advent of the domain, also reacted quickly, buried the thoughts in his mind deep in his heart, and shut his mouth obediently.
Fortunately, Shen Jie was still immersed in his own cleverness and wit, and did not pay attention to the expressions of the two people beside him.
And Lingyi immediately spoke, breaking the delicate atmosphere:
"That's right, the underground cave where the black-backed worms live, below that deep cave, is the branch of the volcano that disperses the pressure. As long as they are blocked one by one..."
"Within a few days, the crater as the main vein will definitely erupt in a big way. By then, even the king-backed worms will be seriously injured in this complete eruption."
"Seize the precious opportunity and kill it in one fell swoop!"
After speaking, Lingyi looked at the two:
"As for now, we need to act separately to find the porous limestone heat dissipation points in various places and solve The black-spine insect swarm inside, and then completely block the heat dissipation branch veins! "
"Another point, this artistic conception world is actually very large, covering thousands of square kilometers. If we encounter the second awakening soldiers who enter it on the way, we need to arrange them to act together to speed up the completion speed. "
"After that, gather here in the hot spring belt every day and mark the branch vein points that you have found and destroyed, so as not to repeat the exploration and get half the result with twice the effort. "
Shen Jie nodded, and after discussing some details with the two, he followed his memory and ran towards the dome of the volcanic rock cave he encountered at the beginning.
Seeing the other party's figure going away, Lin Feng immediately came back to his senses and stared at Long Yi.
Long Yi frowned slightly and warned seriously:
"This is the Ji Shen Star, the realm of the spinal worm. If that happens again, He will not recognize me as the descendant of the King of Insects. You will have to pray for your own luck then."
"So don't commit suicide. Don't even think about it. Although He has been dead for many years, we low-level creatures cannot offend Him at will in the realm of the spinal worm."
"Remember one thing, this is the home of the spinal worm. You and I are just passers-by."
"Let's go. We must complete the task of blocking the branch veins as soon as possible within 20 days."
"The King of Spinal Insects who master the realm of killing is not a simple character. Even among high-level Zerg, its potential can be among the best."
After that, Long Yi turned around and walked slowly in another direction.
Only Lin Feng stayed where he was, his eyes narrowed.
…………
Twenty-one days later, with the help of the remaining two batches of second-awakened soldiers, after a carpet search, the three successfully completed the task of destroying the magma branch veins.
As a reward, Shen Jie and Lin Feng will also help the soldiers kill tiger spine worms and increase their spiritual attributes along the way.
These people are good seedlings for future genetic warriors, and the backbone of the second-level legion, so they naturally have to lay a solid foundation in advance.
And through them, Lin Feng also conveyed the killing plan of Lingyi, so that Chen Yanyan, who was anxiously waiting outside, could put her mind at ease.
Although in terms of the speed of time, only about forty minutes have passed in reality.
After all the preparatory work in the early stage is completed, the remaining task is to wait.
Because the branch veins where magma is dispersed and infiltrated are blocked by everyone one by one, the black smoke rising from the crater as the main vein is becoming more and more violent.
The poisonous fog and miasma on the mountainside have completely submerged and enveloped the volcano.
And the hot spring belt near the volcano is boiling as the underground temperature and pressure rise straight up.
During this period, Shen Jie is still swallowing tiger spine worms to enhance his own strength.
With the help of Lingyi, he only needs to overcome the mental influence of killing, and there is no need to worry about physical assimilation.
The pure mental influence was not strong, and with the company of Lin Feng and the others, Shen Jie's mental state remained good.
And his strength, as his body grew, was infinitely close to the third level.
Finally, in the last two days of the thirty-day countdown, there was a loud bang that shook the earth!
At this moment, this sealed pressure cooker finally reached the critical point of explosion!
With the violent shaking and fragmentation of the earth,
the volcano of the spine star, which represents the killing mood...
erupted completely!
A sharp leg that was hundreds of meters long,
stretched out its claws from the crater!
The foreshadowing of the spine star was basically concluded.
And the gods also began to bet on Lin Feng.
