it wasn’t easy to catch a living one. if he could get some information out of him, it would naturally be excellent.
for example, how did the wild dog discover the remains, where were the people now, how much combat power was left, what dangers were ahead …
know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.
unfortunately, the face of the man on the ground was completely bloodless. all of his flesh and blood had been absorbed by the spider egg in his stomach. he was so thin that he was only skin and bones. he was not far from death.
in terms of physical injuries alone, with the resources the team had, they might have a chance to save his life.
however, the price was too great, and it was meaningless.
more importantly, this person had suffered a very serious shock and had gone crazy. he was in a state of delirious.
sometimes he mumbled, sometimes he shouted, as if he had gone mad.
“this human-headed spider is the most powerful monster we’ve encountered so far.”
“it can be predicted that it will be even more dangerous if we continue forward.”
” maybe we’ll encounter wild dogs soon. if you encounter them, don’t hesitate. kill them if you need to. ”
” indeed, none of these people are good. most of the blood on their hands are innocent, either for profit or pure pleasure from killing. ”
“in short, in the face of such an opponent, if we are soft-hearted, we will be the ones to die …”
the crowd was in the middle of a conversation.
bai wushang was closer to the man, and he vaguely heard him mention a word.
at first, he thought it was nonsense.
the second time he heard it, he quickly motioned for everyone to be quiet.
the man, who was shouting “help” a second ago, suddenly laughed.
” … haha … ancient … earth snail … hahahaha! ”
his eyes were bloodshot, and he grinned, his voice hoarse.
the words that came out of his mouth stunned everyone.
bai wushang held his breath and listened to him repeat these words three times. only then was he sure that he hadn’t heard wrongly.
“earth snail?”
jiang feng swallowed his saliva and couldn’t help muttering.
an xiaorou and sobina looked at each other, unable to hide the surprise in their eyes.
xue zilin took a deep breath, his expression calm, but his eyes were burning, as if two small suns were rising.
bai wushang’s heart was filled with mixed feelings.
the earth snail was a mature extraordinary creature that had evolved from the ” earth snail. ”
the problem was that it was no ordinary creature.
it was an ancient species!
it was an ancient thick-armored species known for its defense!
many books had mentioned that the earth snail’s peak form should be the undying body’s ‘dragon back snail’.
this was an ancient zerg that would obtain the blood of a sub-dragon as it evolved.
it was rumored that as long as it stood on the ground, it could obtain an endless stream of power. in terms of defensive ability, it was one of the best among those of the same rank.
in fact, many monsters with higher bloodline quality and life level than it could not easily break its shell.
this was because 90% of the earth snail’s abilities were focused on defense.
this was a relatively pure supernatural creature, with the reputation of ” earth guardian ” and ” fortress warrior. ”
“there are other ancient species besides the ancient everchanging insect in the ruins?”
bai wushang couldn’t believe it, and many thoughts ran through his mind.
“does it have parents, or did it hatch on its own like xiao ci?”
“if it’s the former, then the danger factor hidden in this ruin is too high …”
” … but it doesn’t make sense. the earth snail likes to live alone and never wants to live with other creatures, especially its nest. it’s an offense to enter its nest. it’ll be regarded as a provocation and an invasion. it’ll anger it … ”
“aren’t there a lot of bugs here? from the point of view of the person who set up the ruin, there are tens of thousands of ordinary eggs stored here. it seems reasonable that there are one or two precious ancient species …”
bai wushang pondered carefully, and the others didn’t idle around either.
everyone was listening to the man’s mumbling, trying to find more clues.
he was deep in thought and thinking about certain problems.
“rich … i’m going to be rich … the boss promised me …”
“make a fortune?” bai wushang noticed this word, and his thoughts scattered.
” with the strength of the wild dog mercenary group, they didn’t run away when they encountered the earth snail. instead, they thought they would make a lot of money … ”
” this means … for them, the danger is within a controllable range … ”
this deduction basically smacked the earth snail to death with the possibility of its parents watching over it.
“ahem … what do you guys think?” jiang feng rubbed his nose and broke the silence.
for as long as 20 seconds, no one responded to his words!
in the end, sobina ran her fingers through her golden hair and looked up with a smile. ”
” the most important thing is that an ancient species has appeared in the ruins. this is a great opportunity, but it also means extreme danger. ”
” we have no way of knowing the origin of the ancient species. is it protected by its parents, or is it hatched from one of the eggs here? ”
” or perhaps there are other deeper reasons. in short, we lack crucial information and can’t predict what will happen. ”
if bai wushang could contact them, so could his teammates. they were also more cautious.
” of course, since the wild dog mercenary group said that they were about to ‘strike it rich’, we can reduce the risk factor appropriately. ”
” but we can’t rule out the possibility that they’re stupid and made a wrong judgment. we have to be careful and not be misled. ”
sobina said slowly.
bai wushang’s expression changed slightly, and he suddenly turned his head, ”
” xiao ci, have you ever seen a very, very big, khaki-colored bug with a spiral shell? ”
the ancient everchanging insect had been living here since it was young. it was able to live well as a young, so its tenacious survival ability was evident.
if the earth snail really existed, it must be a relatively dangerous ” predator ” among the monsters.
perhaps he could obtain new information from little bug.
as bai wushang asked, he took out a pen and paper, drew a simple drawing, and handed it to the pink caterpillar.
little bug’s six eyes flickered. he was still trying to analyze the meaning of his master’s complicated words just now.
combined with that picture, he immediately understood and shouted again and again, ”
“oh! it’s a legless beast!”
“i know! i know! it was the boss of this place, the most dangerous monster! the eight-legged monster is much more powerful!”
as she said this, xiao ci was a little unhappy.”sigh, i was born first, but i didn’t dare to fight it …” he sighed.
” it’s growing really fast and very fierce. i was almost eaten by it when i was young … ”
“but …”
little bug smacked his lips and muttered, ” but before it was born, i ate its brother. that was the best egg i’ve ever eaten! ”
” i was going to eat it too, but i didn’t expect it to run out of the egg. i could only sneak away … sigh, i really want to eat another one. i miss that taste … ”
“???”
bai wushang’s face was full of question marks.
