Chapter 666 Relief
No way.
Is it possible——
The "core" of the wormhole was actually held in the worm mother's mouthparts.
Lu Chihuan was unwilling to think further about his guess. After all, if it was true, he would have to open the insect queen's mouthparts with his own hands to see what was inside.
The thought of this.
He wanted to die.
Although the insect queen's head looks relatively small, that is in contrast to its huge and bulging abdomen. In fact, Lu Chihuan looks small and compact when standing in front of it.
The insect mother opened her mouth.
I guess he could bite off Lu Chihuan’s entire head.
As the time on the communicator ticked away, the jumping red numbers seemed like some kind of death warrant.
It made Lu Chihuan's breathing become tight.
He thought of the space pirates who were still waiting for his signal outside the insect nest and Lu Minghe, who had been injected with a powerful sleeping drug by him, and felt that he could not delay any longer.
If he delays until the medicine on his brother wears off and he wakes up.
Things got worse.
So he rubbed his brows and prepared himself mentally. After a moment, as if he had made up his mind, he took out the powerful sleeping pill that he had not used up yet from his storage ring. This time he increased the dosage more than ten times.
This dose...
It is not a problem to make a few larger star beasts fall into a deep sleep, so it should also work if used on the Zerg.
only.
When inserting the needle into the worm mother's body, the action must be quick, accurate and ruthless, but the action must be very gentle, otherwise it is very likely to wake the worm mother up.
And once the insect mother wakes up.
Then he would be the first to suffer.
Lu Chihuan pursed his lips tightly and decided to take a risk.
After all, the lives of everyone in the area under the jurisdiction of the Ghost Pirates depend on him. Once he retreats because of his inner cowardice, it is very likely that tens of thousands of people will face death.
He encouraged himself.
Then he lowered his eyes and calmly looked for a place on the mother insect's body to inject the needle. After finding the place, he glanced at the mother insect who was still sleeping soundly, and then injected the needle, pushed in the medicine, and completed several actions in one go.
His hand is steady.
The movements were light and fast, so when the insect queen was bitten by something, it felt like a small sting, with a subtle itch.
The insect mother did not react to this.
It just moved its body.
However, under the effect of the drug, he fell into a deeper sleep.
Lu Chihuan was worried that the Insect Queen was pretending to be asleep in order to lure him into the trap, so he reached out and pushed the other's body a few times with some concern.
Seeing that the insect mother had been standing there motionless, she even made a slightly heavy breathing sound.
He was completely relieved.
"okay."
"It's time for the next step."
Lu Chihuan raised his hand.
He stretched his slightly stiff shoulders and arms, muttered these two sentences to himself, then took out two long gloves from the storage ring and put them on himself.
At this moment.
He used his mental power to cushion his feet, then took a big step and leaped upwards.
The footholds formed by mental power appeared almost one after another under his feet, which saved him from expending too much effort.
Because the body is light and flexible.
Therefore, his movements look like the graceful fluttering of a butterfly.
In a short while, Lu Chihuan had reached the chest and abdomen of the insect mother. His white and slender fingers grabbed the fluff on the insect mother's body, and then he climbed up with all his strength.
It took several minutes.
This is when it completely reaches the head of the insect mother.
The insect queen's mouthparts are sharp and ferocious, and can easily chew up prey that is several times heavier than itself. Now that he is close, Lu Chihuan can even see food residue on it.
A fishy, sour and rotten smell hit me in the face, making me feel extremely nauseous.
He choked and coughed a few times.
But now there was no complaint. His hands had already grasped the upper and lower ends of the Zerg's mouthparts, and then tried to pry them open.
It was not known whether it was due to the side effects of the sleeping drug or the inherent structure of the Zerg, but the Zerg Queen's mouthparts were biting particularly tightly while she was sleeping, so Lu Chihuan had to use all his strength, and his arms were trembling slightly.
His fair cheeks flushed red.
The blue veins on the back of his hands became more obvious, and some crystal beads of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose.
Fortunately.
Lu Chihuan had received training after all, and his strength had obviously increased a lot compared to before.
Therefore, under his efforts, the insect mother's tightly clenched mouthparts finally opened slowly, and then were stretched into a large arc.
The moment the insect mother opened her mouth, Lu Chihuan was particularly foresighted and turned his head to the side, even holding his breath.
Therefore.
Therefore, the sour and rotten smell did not have time to attack his eyes and nose, and he was lucky enough to escape.
Wait until the smell has almost dissipated.
Lu Chihuan was the one who was concentrating on looking at the bloody mouth of the insect mother. Because it was extremely dark in the cave, he could only see the rows of fine and dense teeth in the insect mother's mouth, and the long tongue with a slightly strange shape.
"Little robot."
He lowered his head and nodded to the small robot on his shoulder:
"Please help me shine some light."
"It doesn't need to be too bright, as long as I can see clearly what's going on in the insect mother's mouth."
The little spider-shaped robot nodded slightly and obediently, then scrambled down Lu Chihuan's arm very nimbly and agilely. After it landed on the back of his hand, it turned on the lighting inside its body.
The light inside it is not very bright.
It looks as soft as a firefly, but it is enough to illuminate the inside of the insect queen's mouth.
The moment the light comes on.
Lu Chihuan subconsciously closed his eyes, and when he looked down at the insect queen's forced open mouthparts, his pupils shrank unconsciously, and then he showed a sense of relief.
"Finally found."
I saw a dark gray crystal embedded on the inside of the insect mother's tongue.
Most of the crystal was buried in the tongue, with only the top few centimeters left outside. Perhaps because the crystal emitted powerful energy, the root of the insect mother's tongue and even the entire inside of her mouth had slight mutations.
The rows of protruding teeth inside and the tongue that has changed color are strong evidence.
As soon as the energy detector in Lu Chihuan's hand approached the crystal, it began to vibrate uncontrollably, and the reaction could be said to be extremely strong.
It seems.
This thing should be——
The "core" of a wormhole.
However, Lu Chihuan's happiness and excitement only lasted for less than a few seconds.
Although finding the "core" of a wormhole is indeed cause for celebration, how to place the explosive device into it is another difficult problem.
If an explosive device is installed on this "core", the insect mother only needs to open her mouth and chew it a few times, and the explosive device will probably break immediately. If there is any corrosive solution in the insect mother's mouth, the situation will only be worse.
So what to do next?
Should the "core" be dug out directly from the worm mother's mouth, or a hole be dug in the worm mother's long tongue, the explosive device placed in it to bury it, and the wound be allowed to heal. If this is done, the aftermath of the explosion will also affect the "core" of the wormhole.
This will result in a series of chain reactions.
Both methods were risky, but he could only try them one by one.
Think of this.
Lu Chihuan sent a signal in advance to the pirates waiting outside, asking them to evacuate the wormhole as soon as possible.
After all, by the time he installs the explosive device, he probably won't have time to remind them, so it's better to be prepared now.
Seeing the signal sent successfully.
Lu Chihuan took off the earring on his earlobe, transformed it into a dagger, and then inserted it into the insect mother's tongue with force, trying to dig out the crystal embedded in it.
however.
Because the crystal seemed to be embedded too deeply, no matter how hard Lu Chihuan dug, it hardly moved at all.
or……
Cut off the insect queen's long tongue?
But at present he does not know what shape the crystal will be.
The crystal is located a little bit backward. If its complete shape is a long cone, then it is estimated that it is not only embedded in the insect mother's long tongue, but may even penetrate the insect mother's chin and throat. In this case...
Even if you cut off the insect queen's tongue, it probably wouldn't be of any use.
Perhaps Lu Chihuan's actions hurt the Insect Mother. The Insect Mother's eyelids trembled constantly. It seemed that she was fighting against the effect of the sleeping potion, as if she could wake up at any time.
"not good!"
Lu Chihuan cursed in a low voice.
He quickly retracted his dagger and brought the small spider-shaped robot back into his arms, tapping it lightly with its toes.
The whole person fell down again.
Because there was really no place to hide in the incubation room, Lu Chihuan made a quick decision and pounced directly into the pile of silk cocoons and crawled in.
The moment he entered the silk cocoon, the insect mother completely woke up from her coma.
It was keenly aware of the bloody smell inside its mouthparts and the signs that the crystal had been tampered with, and it roared several times in anger.
The lump swimming on one side of the body began to stretch and turned into seven or eight flexible tentacles, which then slapped the ground hard.
The banging sounds continued.
It seemed that the Zerg Queen was venting her anger, so the entire cave began to shake, small stones fell down, and even the Zerg who came to check the situation were knocked to the ground.
The insect mother's roar became louder and louder.
It seemed as if it was questioning... who broke into the incubator and touched its baby.
The Zergs made a hissing sound in panic, as if answering the Zerg Queen's question. After hearing their answer, the Zerg Queen also calmed down reluctantly.
Its cold eyes scanned the incubator, as if looking for the culprit.
A moment later.
The other party's eyes fell on the stacked silk cocoons, and in an instant, the tentacles on the side of the body swept the silk cocoons around mercilessly like a storm, and all the silk cocoons scattered.
But look carefully.
There didn't seem to be any humans hiding inside.
The insect queen narrowed her eyes. As her body was restricted and she could not move, she ordered the trembling insects beside her to check the silk cocoons one by one to see if there was anything abnormal.
The Zerg's front paws made a rustling sound as they stepped on the ground.
The sound was approaching the silk cocoon where Lu Chihuan was hiding. The sound was getting closer and closer, making him hold his breath unconsciously, and his slender white fingers unconsciously clasped his palms.
The string in my mind also tightened a little.
He couldn't help but silently said in his heart: "Don't find me..."
The Zerg lifted the cocoons one by one to take a closer look. They soon came to the cocoon where Lu Chihuan was hiding. When they were about to stretch out their front paws to pick it up, they smelled the scent of food.
Fragrant and sweet.
Making them swallow unconsciously.
The insect queen obviously also noticed the smell. She glanced around with her cold eyes and discovered that several of the silk cocoons that had been lifted up earlier had large cuts in them.
Now the yellowish juice inside has flowed out and is all over the floor.
The insect mother let out a shrill cry instantly. Food was extremely precious to her, so she didn't bother asking the other insects to help her find the intruders.
Now he was hurriedly directing them to carry the silk cocoon with several holes in it in front of him.
If you eat it, it won’t be wasted.
After receiving the order, those Zergs left in a hurry. Lu Chihuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the noise of them leaving. He put down the dagger in his hand and patted his chest.
so close.
He almost thought he was about to be discovered.
At this moment, he half closed his eyes and looked out through the gap in the silk cocoon furtively. After seeing the silk cocoon with a big tear and the busy Zerg, he quickly guessed the whole story.
Coincidentally.
The spider-shaped robot was drilling into the silk cocoon from the gap. It grunted and crawled onto the back of Lu Chihuan's hand, then rubbed the soft and white skin with an intimate gesture.
Needless to say.
The big hole in the silk cocoon must have been made by it.
If it weren't for the little spider-shaped robot, he might have been fighting the Zerg right now.
"Well done."
Lu Chihuan shook his thumb.
Then she curved her beautiful almond-shaped eyes and said secretly in her heart.
The hair-raising chewing sound rang out again. Lu Chihuan treated it as background music and began to slowly think about what he should do next. After all, this opportunity could not be missed.
But he has already missed a good opportunity, and he must be cautious next time.
If I had known earlier——
He should have just killed the queen insect.
But if you think about it carefully, the Zerg Queen seems to be more sensitive to pain. If he fails to kill the opponent with one blow, it will surely wake up soon and order the Zerg to attack him.
If so.
He would also be in danger. No.
The energy detector did not vibrate.
If the "core" in the wormhole entered the body of the worm mother or was embedded in its surface, there would definitely be changes. However, he looked several times and found nothing.
If not here.
Where else could it be?
Lu Chihuan bent his fingers and tapped his cheeks a few times, his eyes falling on the insect mother's slightly hideous and sharp mouthparts.
All of a sudden.
He couldn't help swallowing, looking quite resistant.
