Chapter 861
861 Chapter 861, the frozen king worm!
(three chapters in one)
As time passed, Yang Tian’s expression became more and more focused. In the entire cave, other than the rustling sound produced when the talisman brush moved on the black stone, there was no other sound.
Even Wu Lu held his breath, afraid of disturbing Yang Tian. He knew that if Yang Tian could not leave this place, he would be even more unable to do so.
In such a special environment, a powerful combat strength was not as useful as a small rune pen.
The rune array designed by the strange program was much simpler than the original rune array.
That was because this rune array only needed to be activated once. It did not need to exist for a long time. The previous rune array not only had the ability to teleport, but it also needed to constantly absorb energy. As the surrounding environment changed, the design was much more complicated.
To the bystanders, time passed very slowly, and the focused Yang Tian seemed to be unable to feel the passage of time. By the time he finished drawing the array glyph and put away his brush, more than fifty hours had passed.
Every single rune in this newly completed array glyph was much larger than the previous one. It seemed very simple.
When Yang Tian put away his brush and didn’t place the energy body to provide energy for the rune array, the entire rune array also emitted a faint fluctuation of rune energy.
After the rune array was finished, the next step was to examine it.
Yang Tian’s spiritual power completely covered the newly completed rune array and formed a rune array diagram in his mind.
The strange program called this picture and compared it with the design.
The result was very satisfactory for the strange program. The rune that Yang Tian had carved was within the error range.
This kind of detection method was probably unimaginable for other rune masters.
“Everyone ready? We will go to an unknown place.”After completing the inspection and obtaining the confirmation from the strange program, Yang Tian said with a smile.
Hui Er Chan and Bei ya both nodded happily, but Wu Lu remained silent.
For him and Yang Tian, the life-and-death duel was about to begin. After witnessing Yang Tian’s methods in Talisman Dao, his confidence in defeating Yang Tian weakened a little.
At this moment, Yang Tian looked relaxed because he already had a way to deal with Wu Lu.
Yang Tian glanced at Wu Lu and took out three thumb-sized colorful beast cores from his storage bracelet. He inlaid the three beast cores into the three grooves at the edge of the rune array.
The rune array had enough energy and slowly lit up, releasing a faint blue light. As the rune array absorbed the Beast Core’s energy faster and faster, the blue light also became brighter and brighter.
“Let’s Go!”
Yang Tian lightly said, and first walked into the array glyph.
Then, Hui Er Chan Chan carried little green turtle, and together with Bei Ya, they also stepped into the array glyph without hesitation.
Wu Lu frowned as he watched Yang Tian and the other two disappear into the blue light. He hesitated for a moment before walking in.
The teleportation process was very fast. Once they entered the array glyph, the situation outside the blue light suddenly changed.
It was the same cave, but it was no longer black. Instead, it was red, rust-like red.
After completing the teleportation, Yang Tian and the other two immediately walked out of the rune array. At this time, the rune array was still in the teleportation state.
After a few seconds, Wu Lu finally appeared in the rune array.
However, just as he was about to walk out of the rune array, the rune array under his feet suddenly extinguished and then lit up again.
Wu Lu was shocked. He stomped his feet on the ground and rushed out of the newly activated teleportation.
During this process, he saw Yang Tian raise his hand and push at him. The strange thing was that Yang Tian’s hand did not release any energy.
After exiting the array, Wu Lu heaved a sigh of relief.
Just a moment ago, he was almost teleported back.
If he had returned to that cave, he would definitely never be able to come out again.
“Wu Lu, you’ve lost.”
Looking at Wu Lu’s fearful expression, Yang Tian said indifferently.
Wu Lu said unwillingly, “You used the Talisman Array to plot against me.”
Yang Tian smiled and said, “No! You were one step too late. How could you blame me? “If I had used my strongest power just now, I would have been able to stop you from coming out of the Talisman Array. “In the blink of an eye, you would have been teleported back. “Then, you would have discovered that the talisman array I carved had already been destroyed.”
Wu Lu knew that Yang Tian was telling the truth. He frowned and said, “Then why didn’t you do that just now? You must know that I will kill you!”
Yang Tian sighed. “I don’t know why, but I hesitated just now, just like you hesitated.”
After Yang Tian said that, Wu Lu snorted and said indifferently, “Then I’ll save you again, and then I’ll kill you!”
After saying that, Wu Lu stopped looking at Yang Tian.
Yang Tian couldn’t help but laugh. At this time, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He told Wu Lu the truth. Originally, he could have stopped Wu Lu and let him return to the cave. However, when he made his move, he had a strange feeling in his heart, so he hesitated for a moment.
It was this hesitation that prevented Wu Lu from being teleported back.
From the start of the teleportation, the process and time of the teleportation had all been calculated accurately. According to the plan calculated by the strange program, Wu Lu would definitely not be able to escape.
However, no matter how precise the calculation was, it was impossible to calculate the psychological changes of a human.
Yang Tian naturally believed what Wu Lu said.
The cave was not big, and there was a faint red light shining in from the outside. Yang Tian and the others followed the red light and arrived in front of a closed stone door.
What shone through was a hole the size of a finger. Yang Tian used his spiritual power to inspect it and was surprised to find that the hole was slanted upwards and was thousands of meters long.
Looking at the traces on the cave wall, it should have been made by insects.
There were insects. In other words, there would most likely be life in the outside world. It was a habitable island.
The thickness of the stone door was about three meters. It was very dense and there were runes on it.
After Yang Tian inspected it, he withdrew his spiritual power and punched the stone door.
“Boom!”A loud sound was heard.
The stone door shook and the entire cave shook as a large amount of gravel fell from the top of the cave.
With Yang Tian’s strength, the ordinary stone door had long been broken through by him, and this stone door did not even leave a fist mark where he had attacked.
Most of the power had been absorbed by the Talisman Array on the stone door.
When Yang Tian attacked the stone door, a powerful fluctuation of talisman energy exploded in the cave. The strange program that had read the talisman energy told Yang Tian that this was a kind of hidden array design. To break the Talisman Array, he could only go outside.
“Let me do it!”
Seeing that Yang Tian couldn’t break the stone door, Wu Lu walked up and said to Yang Tian.
Yang Tian nodded and moved to the side. He said to Wu Lu, “Use your most powerful strength.”
Wu Lu didn’t say anything. He stood in front of the stone door and closed his eyes.
About five seconds later, Wu Lu opened his eyes and threw a punch.
“Boom!”
With a loud sound, the solid red stone door was smashed into pieces by Wu Lu’s punch. Behind the stone door was a mountain. Even though it was covered by a talisman array, it was still penetrated by Wu Lu’s punch, creating a passage that was dozens of meters long.
Yang Tian finally witnessed Wu Lu’s strength. In his mind, he couldn’t help but recall the fragments of holy warriors that he had seen when he was young..
This punch made Yang Tian realize that he didn’t know enough about Wu Lu’s strength.
Wu Lu threw out his most powerful punch. His face wasn’t red, and he wasn’t panting. He looked outside and then walked out.
“What are you waiting for? Let’s Go!”
Yang Tian looked at the dazed northern cliff and said. Then, he entered the passage that Wu Lu had opened with his fist force.
After leaving the cave, Yang Tian and the others came to the middle of a mountain peak. There was a steep cliff at their feet, which was more than a thousand meters above the ground.
There was no end to the mountain peaks like this, one after another.
In the sky, there was a luminous object the size of a millstone. It was emitting bright light, and the temperature was scorching. It was like a star in the universe.
Yang Tian was too familiar with such an environment.
It was just that his vision range was not wide. He could not confirm that he was on a huge planet.
This was simple..
His body moved and Yang Tian jumped into the sky. He turned into a huge dragon and flew forward quickly.
The little green turtle in Hui Er Chan Chan’s arms became bigger. Hui Er Chan jumped onto the back of the little green turtle. She moved her limbs and flew into the sky..
“Hey! Wait for me!”
Bei Ya cried out in panic and jumped onto the back of the little green turtle.
Flying was too easy for the lonely deer tribe. With a whoosh, wings grew on the back of the Wu Lu. With a light flap, the Wu Lu’s body rose into the sky and flew towards Yang Tian.
Yang Tian flew very fast. He kept flying in a straight line at a low altitude and kept jumping over the sharp peaks.
He kept flying like this. After an unknown amount of time, Yang Tian finally stopped and landed on a peak that was more than two thousand meters tall.
This peak was the peak that Yang Tian and the others had just appeared on. Yang Tian had been flying straight all this time and had returned to this place. This also proved that this world was indeed a sphere.
In the sky, it was not a star, but a treasure runic artifact floating in the sky above this world. It was motionless, illuminating half of the sphere. On the other side, it was about one-third of the area, it was pitch-black.
After Yang Tian landed and returned to his human form, Hui Er Chan and Wu Lu, who had been following behind him, also landed.
“I didn’t sense any other life forms.”
Yang Tian said indifferently.
Bei Ya’s face was bitter. “Yang Tian, I want to know how I can leave this place and return to the source star.”
Ever since Bei ya was saved by Yang Tian, his experiences during this period of time were ten thousand times more exciting than his previous experiences.
Although the previous journey was dangerous and difficult, it was unlike the current situation where he had to go from one place of despair to another place of despair.
If this continued, northern cliff would definitely either get used to it or go crazy.
Of course, he also understood that this was the experience of a powerhouse. A nobody like him might not be able to experience this for the rest of his life.
Yang Tian pretended not to hear the ‘complaints’from the North Cliff. At this moment, Wu Lu raised his hand and pointed to the front left. “There’s a strange mountain in the extreme distance there.”
Yang Tian said, “You’re referring to the mountain with a flat top and a smooth appearance, right?”
Wu Lu nodded.
The group of people flew up again.
This time, Yang Tian was carried by the little azure dragon at an even faster speed.
In less than ten minutes, Yang Tian and the others landed on the top of a somewhat strange-looking mountain peak.
This mountain peak was over three thousand meters tall, and its top was flat. From a distance, it looked as if it had been cut by a huge knife.
At the top of this mountain peak, there was a huge stone tablet. It was about ten meters tall and stood at the edge of the peak.
The stone tablet was engraved with runes.
These runes could only be understood by a strange program.
After Yang Tian carefully read through it.., he said indifferently, “This is a warning tablet. It tells us not to touch any circular objects here and not to go deep into the ground. This was left behind by a talisman Master who came here by chance.”
In the Sea of stars, common characters were runes, but very few people knew runes.
“Why?”
After Yang Tian finished speaking, Hui Er Chan Chan asked.
Yang Tian shook his head. “It doesn’t say. The person who carved these symbols is most likely trying to arouse our curiosity.”
“Then let’s go down and take a look.”
After speaking indifferently, Wu Lu walked to the center of the mountain peak and stomped his foot forcefully.
With a bang, a hole with a diameter of two meters appeared under Wu Lu’s feet.
Yang Tian couldn’t help but praise Wu Lu for his sharp senses. He had actually discovered this tunnel that extended from the top to the bottom of the mountain, and Yang Tian had only discovered it with his spiritual power.
Perhaps because of his previous promise, Wu Lu would always take the lead if they encountered a place that might be dangerous.
After opening the entrance to the cave, Wu Lu only took a glance at Yang Tian before jumping into the cave. Yang Tian immediately followed suit.
The cave below was almost straight. The group of people fell close to the wall of the cave. In less than a minute, they reached the bottom of the cave.
The temperature in the cave was very low. It was estimated to be at least minus ten degrees Celsius. The temperature outside was at least forty degrees Celsius.
After the northern cliff landed, it could not help but shake its body.
The cave was filled with light green light. It was all emitted by balls the size of soccer balls that were stuck to the wall of the cave.
There were also green balls on the ground. If one looked into the distance, they would be densely packed together.
The black deer, who had arrived first, was squatting beside a green ball. He looked at the green ball in front of him and frowned.
Yang Tian glanced at the black deer and looked around. This underground space was very wide. The shape was also small at the top and large at the bottom. It was in the shape of a circular vertebra. It led from the top to the cave here, it was right in the middle of this underground space.
“What are these things? I’ve never seen them before.”
Bei Ya suddenly said curiously.
Most of the creatures living in the Sea of stars had never seen them before, but Yang Tian felt that they were very familiar. He said, “They seem to be… insect eggs.”
“Insects? !”
Hearing Yang Tian’s words, Bei ya cried out in surprise.
Yang Tian shook his head. “I can’t be sure, unless I open one to take a look.”
As soon as Yang Tian finished speaking, Wu Lu raised his hand and placed it on the green ball.
Immediately, the green ball lit up and made a cracking sound. Then, it suddenly cracked open and a red head popped out from inside.
Wu Lu reached out his hand and reached into the green ball that was not completely broken, grabbing the creature inside.
It was indeed an insect!
The shape of this insect was like a scorpion with a elongated body. It had a triangular head, two large pincers on its forelimbs, and a sharp end on its tail, which looked like a curved steel needle!
“Squeak squeak…”
After being caught by the black deer, the insect began to cry and struggle non-stop. It not only used two large pincers to clamp the black deer’s arm, but also used the tip of its tail to pierce the Black Deer’s arm.
Unfortunately, with its weak strength, it was unable to pierce through the skin of the deer.
“Pa!”
The deer used its strength and crushed the insect in its hand, causing a large amount of green liquid to burst out.
“Si ~”
Suddenly, the deer let out a painful breath. It shook its arm twice.
At this moment, Yang Tian could clearly see that the deer’s entire palm had suddenly turned black. The black area and the speed of it spreading towards the arm.
Wu Lu immediately raised his left hand and scratched his right palm that had turned black. A large amount of black blood flowed out from Wu Lu’s palm.
As the black blood was expelled from his palm, Wu Lu’s hand slowly returned to its normal color.
Wu Lu’s hand that was holding onto the insect must have been protected by energy. And that green liquid could actually pass through Wu Lu’s protective energy and directly enter his blood.
“Very powerful poison! You must be careful.”
After expelling the poison from his palm, Wu Lu said with a solemn expression.
At this time, Bei Ya was already stunned.
Yang Tian saw Bei Ya’s expression and asked, “It’s just an insect. You Don’t have to be so scared, right?”
In Yang Tian’s mind, the insect race was not as powerful as the human race and the Beast Race.
But bei ya shook his head and said, “You say that because you don’t understand the insect race. “A long, long time ago, the most powerful race in the universe was the insect race! “Although their individual combat strength was not strong, their reproduction ability was too terrifying.
“If an insect sneaked into an island, they would go underground and live on the ores underground. During this process, their numbers would increase exponentially.
“When they reach a certain number, under the orders of the insect king, they will come out from the ground and occupy the entire island. This is the terrifying insect tide…”
The situation described by Bei ya was similar to the insect race that Yang Tian knew. After he finished speaking.., wu Lu said, “What you said is wrong. Actually, the insect race is also very powerful. “The experts among them also possess extremely high intelligence. The terrifying thing is that they will continue to learn while fighting the enemy race…”
“Cluck Cluck Cluck…”
Before Wu Lu could finish his words, a dense cluck suddenly sounded in the cave. This was the sound of a large number of insect eggs breaking.
Compared to Yang Tian, Wu Lu and Bei Ya, who were born and bred in the Sea of stars, had a stronger fear of the insect race.
“Let’s leave this place quickly! When all the insects hatch, we’ll be in trouble,”bei ya said through gritted teeth.
Wu Lu didn’t say anything but nodded.
Yang Tian said, “The guy who erected the monument outside wants to lure us here. If we want to leave, we’ll probably have to go deep into the insect cave.”
Wu Lu clearly understood this logic. After Yang Tian said that, he turned around and walked towards a crack in the stone ahead.
Other than the straight passage that led to this place, this crack was the only way out of this cave at the bottom of the mountain.
Wu Lu led the way. The group carefully crossed the dense insect eggs and entered the narrow crevice that only allowed one person to pass through.
This passage seemed to be formed naturally. It sloped downwards. The further they went, the colder the temperature became.
The hatching of insect eggs was probably related to the temperature. There was a hole at the top outside, and heat was transmitted in, causing the temperature to rise. Only then did the insect eggs begin to hatch.
Both sides of the crevice and the ground were also covered with insect eggs. Due to the low temperature, there were no signs of hatching for the time being.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, dense rustling sounds sounded out behind Yang Tian and the others.
Obviously, a large number of insects had caught up.
Besides the sound, Yang Tian and the others also noticed that a warm airflow blew over from behind, and the airflow was mixed with a strong fishy smell.
Without guessing, Yang Tian knew that after these insects hatched, their bodies would probably emit a very strong heat, causing the other eggs to hatch immediately.
As more and more insects hatched, the temperature in the cave would also become higher and higher..
The black deer, who was walking in front, obviously also realized this and sped up.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the space in front of them finally widened.
Finally, Yang Tian and the others arrived at a vast underground cave.
According to Yang Tian’s estimation, they were already thousands of meters deep underground. The temperature had dropped TO-50-60 degrees Celsius.
The insect swarm behind them had been left far behind by Yang Tian and the others. However, the arrival of the insect swarm was only a matter of time.
The ceiling of the cave was very high. The glowing insect eggs stuck on it looked like stars. The ground and the walls of the cave were also filled with dense insect eggs.
Looking ahead, there was a huge insect-shaped black shadow in the distance.
A huge insect!
The black deer paused for a moment. Wings grew out of its back and it flew towards the huge black shadow in front.
The insect eggs on the ground were too dense. It could only fly over now.
Yang Tian and the others soon arrived in front of the huge black shadow.
It was indeed a huge insect!
The appearance of this insect was exactly the same as the one that hatched previously. However, its color was bronze. From the looks of it, it was filled with a metallic texture and appeared to be very hard.
The body of the huge insect was more than fifty meters long. The surface of its body was covered with a thick layer of ice. Under its body, there was a teleportation array platform that protruded out of the ground about one meter. It was also covered in ice.
It seemed that if he wanted to use this teleportation array, he had to melt the ice on it.
To Yang Tian, this was very simple. However, once the ice melted, the giant worm would definitely wake up..
“This… is actually a king worm!”
Under the pale green light, Wu Lu stared at the giant worm for a long time and suddenly said.
“What is a king worm?”Yang Tian asked curiously.
The insect race in the Sea of stars was obviously different from the insect race that Yang Tian had seen.
Wu Lu said, “It has extremely high intelligence and can fight with those fellows in the divine realm. Even if we can’t leave this place, we can’t let it wake up.”
After saying that, Wu Lu stroked the ice layer that had frozen the giant worm. He put his hand on his nose and sniffed it. Then he said, “This isn’t ordinary water. There’s a medicinal liquid added in it.”
