Chapter 210
210 Chapter 210, silver-white metal door
Yang Tian’s eyes widened when he passed through the tunnel that led directly to the ‘worm nest’.
It was a huge, irregular cave.
There were many glowing dots at the top of the cave. Each dot was emitting a bright white light. Countless lights gathered together, making the light in the cave brighter than the world illuminated by the stars outside.
On the four walls of the cave and on the ground, there were holes the size of footballs. Inside the holes were grey eggs.
Yang Tian estimated the number of these eggs. There were probably tens of thousands of them.
Crack
Yang Tian picked up his knife and cut open the egg closest to him on the ground.
The shell of this egg was relatively fragile, like an egg shell.
Once the egg was broken, one could see that it was filled with yellow liquid. In the middle of the egg was a small black insect, about the size of a fist.
After the egg was broken, the black insect began to move. First, it moved its six legs continuously. Finally, it opened the pincers on its mouth, opening and closing, as if it was swallowing the yellow liquid in the egg.
At this time, the yellow liquid in the egg was rapidly decreasing, while the black insect was rapidly growing larger.
In about a minute, the egg, which was smaller than a football, could no longer contain the black insect.
With a crack, the egg was broken by the black insect. Then, the insect began to eat the egg shell, making a crunching sound.
Yang Tian, Qu Yan, Gu Ying, and the little azure dragon all looked at this curiously.
At this time, it was obvious that the body of this one-foot-long black insect was still soft. It was probably because its body had not yet taken shape.
After eating the egg shell, the black insect lay on the ground motionlessly. At this moment, it was as if it was inflated, and its body grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Very quickly, the insect grew into a large insect that was nearly two meters long.
After it grew, the insect’s outer shell quickly hardened.
The insect emerged from the egg shell and grew to its current size. It took less than ten minutes.
When it grew, the hard wings on its back flapped, making a “Chi Chi”sound.
This sound was very unpleasant to hear. Yang Tian originally planned to kill this insect with one slash, but this fellow immediately turned around and used a front branch to poke open the closest insect egg.
Then, there was one, two, three..
Seeing this situation, Yang Tian immediately understood that this insect wanted to release all its companions.
“Pu!”
Tian quickly went forward and killed this black insect.
Not only that, Yang Tian also used the tip of his knife to stab the larvae that were still in their shells to death.
Now, Yang Tian finally understood that as long as these insect eggs were broken, the insects inside would grow up, and when they grew up, they would release other insects of the same kind..
It was estimated that in less than an hour, the tens of thousands of insect eggs here would turn into tens of thousands of large black insects.
This was the first time Yang Tian had seen such a way of birth. On Earth, regardless of whether it was insects, birds, or reptiles, they would hatch on their own after they matured in the eggs.
Where did these eggs come from?
Soon, this question mark appeared in Yang Tian’s mind. Previously, he thought that after entering the nest, he would see a huge mother insect!
Yang Tian glanced at the bright cave and quickly discovered that there was a slightly bigger hole on the left side. It was about a meter in diameter. As there were many holes in the cave, it was difficult to find it with just a glance.
After discovering this unusual hole, Yang Tian carefully passed through the dense insect eggs and came to the hole that was about a meter in diameter.
Qu Yan and Gu Ying also followed carefully.
The walls of this small cave were very smooth, and one look was enough to tell that something was frequently entering and exiting.
When Yang Tian arrived here, a burst of ‘Chi Chi’sounds came from within the cave, followed by a burst of rustling sounds.
It seemed that something was coming out from within.
Yang Tian and Qu Yan and Gu Ying both held their breaths and didn’t move.
In less than a minute, a red scorpion-like insect drilled out of the hole.
This red scorpion was holding an insect egg with its two pincers. After it crawled out of the hole, it wagged its tail and crawled at an extremely fast speed. In next to no time, it advanced over a hundred meters and climbed onto the wall of the hole before placing the insect egg in a hole that was devoid of insects.
After placing the bug egg, the red ‘scorpion’immediately returned. From the beginning to the end, it was as if the bug had not noticed Yang Tian and the rest.
“PA”
When the Red ‘scorpion’passed in front of Yang Tian once again, Yang Tian stomped on the back of the ‘Scorpion’.
“Chi la ~ Hong ~”
The ‘Scorpion’that was stomped flat by Yang Tian exploded with a ball of electric sparks. With a ‘hong’, it exploded and turned into a pile of parts.
It turned out to be a mechanical scorpion.
Looking at the parts scattered all over the ground under his feet, Yang Tian smiled.
“Let’s go over and take a look!”Yang Tian looked at the entrance of the cave and said after thinking for a while.
The cave with a diameter of one meter could only allow one person to crawl through. Yang Tian passed his backpack to Qu Yan Gu Ying and entered the cave with a red long saber in his hand.
This cave was not long. It was only a few dozen meters in size. Just like the stone path from before, it was zigzagging.
After coming out of the tunnel, Yang Tian finally arrived at the nest he was looking for.
It was also a very large cave. There were bright spots on the ceiling of the cave, and the light was as bright as the previous cave.
As soon as he arrived and saw the scene in front of him, Yang Tian’s face was full of shock.
In this cave, there was a giant silver-white insect that was more than 30 meters long. This giant insect’s body was held by three thick rings of black cards, and its belly was facing outwards.
This giant insect was obviously a female insect. When Yang Tian arrived, an egg just happened to fall from its tail. It was held by the mechanical scorpion that was guarding at the side, and it crawled towards the entrance of the cave that Yang Tian came from.
There were many of these red mechanical scorpions, about dozens of them. Other than being responsible for carrying the eggs, there were also some mechanical scorpions that entered and exited from a hole above the giant insect’s head, putting food into the giant insect’s mouth.
Yang Tian looked carefully and found that the food the mechanical scorpions fed the giant worm was actually young beast ants!
“What a big worm!”
At this moment, Qu Yan Gu Ying also crawled over from the tunnel and came behind Yang Tian. Seeing this situation, she was also very surprised and couldn’t help but sigh.
Yang Tian turned around and glanced at Qu Yan Gu Ying, then turned around and sneered at the giant worm, “This is the origin of the worm’s mechanism. I don’t know who came up with this kind of mechanism. It’s really detestable. We must destroy it!”
The most direct way was to kill this giant worm!
“Rumble…”
Perhaps it felt the killing intent, the trapped giant worm suddenly moved. Its body kept moving, pulling the huge metal clasp that was holding it in place.
The three metal clasps were connected to the cave wall. When the giant worm moved, the metal clasp shook and shook the mountain wall. Sand and stones fell from the top of the cave as if an earthquake had happened.
“Crack Crack Crack!”
At this moment, the three huge metal buckles suddenly separated and released the giant worm!
The giant worm was released and its huge body fell forward. With a bang, its abdomen fell to the ground.
When the giant worm fell to the ground, the scene behind it appeared in the eyes of Yang Tian and Qu Yan Gu Ying.
The two of them widened their eyes in shock again because there was actually a silver-white metal door behind the giant worm.
