Chapter 42: Salary from the bottom of the pot
Those group of orange-scented ice centipedes more than one meter high rushed towards them, with a breathtaking cold air, giving people a strong sense of oppression. Anyone who sees a group of monsters more than one meter high roaring towards you is also a little scared. Look at the cold air surrounding the orange-scented ice centipedes, and think about it and feels cold all over.
"Don't let these guys get close to you. No matter what, you'll call these beasts with bullets first." Xing Yi reminded loudly.
Mao Daoqi and the others retreated from the shock of the orange-scented ice centipede, immediately raised the gun in their hands, and fired mercilessly at the group of orange-scented ice centipedes.
The fire dragons echoed in the underground square. Originally, Xing Yi thought that the defense of these orange-scented ice centipedes was stronger than that of the red wolf scorpions on the previous layer, but what surprised Xing Yi was that the defense of these orange-scented ice centipedes was not strong. Xing Yi’s firearm damage could completely break their defense and cause huge damage to the orange-scented ice centipedes.
"It seems that when I was building the tomb, I never thought that later people would have such a powerful firearm that could cause such damage to the orange-scented ice centipede in the distance. This is the unknown of people about the future." Xing Yi thought to himself.
Seeing that the defense of the orange-scented ice centipede was not strong, Mao Daoqi and his friends were more confident and their firepower was even more fierce. Two "boom" sounds aroused a wave of sounds in the tomb, and several orange-scented ice centipedes flew up. It turned out that just now, Chen Huaming seemed to be unable to fight, and actually took out two American-made grenades from the backpack behind him, threw two perfect parabolas at the group of orange-scented ice centipedes, and exploded two huge deep pits among the orange-scented ice centipedes. The frost caused by the orange-scented ice centipedes on the ground was instantly sublimated by the grenade's high temperature.
Most of the time, the orange-scented ice centipede was a little confused by the sudden loud noise and could not move forward. However, if it did not move, it would be greatly damaged by this powerful firepower. At this moment, the animal's instincts reflected the wisdom of nature. Faced with the powerful firepower suppression of the enemy, the orange-scented ice centipede chose to retreat temporarily. The orange-scented ice centipede came quickly and retreated quickly. With a burst of scrambling sounds, they quickly retreated, retreating without a trace. If it weren't for the corpses on the ground, two huge deep pits, and the smell of gunpowder in the air, it would be hard to imagine the battle just now.
Seeing the orange-scented ice centipede retreating, Chen Huaming still wanted to chase him, but Xing Yi hurriedly stopped him, "Brother Chen, please stop chasing him. It's useless, you can't kill them all."
"If you can't kill them all, just kill a few more to enjoy it." Chen Huaming said unwillingly.
"I didn't expect that this orange-scented ice centipede was just like this. She was defeated and fled by us." Cao Hu said with unsatisfactory.
"I didn't expect that the defense of this orange-scented ice centipede was so poor. It seems that General Cao Hui and the others were defeated if they did not have long-range lethal weapons." Hu Shengping said.
"It was indeed a bit unexpected. I thought it was a big battle, but now it's a bit like a unilateral massacre." Yang Xin said while loading bullets for the submachine gun.
"But don't be too happy too early. No one has come here for nearly a thousand years. No one knows how many orange-scented ice centipedes exist. Although our weapons can cause damage to them, it cannot guarantee that all orange-scented ice centipedes will be killed before the bullets are used up. Even if the orange-scented ice centipedes are killed, what should we do in the next way?" Mao Daoqi said.
Mao Daoqi's words gave Chen Huaming, who was in an excited state, a basin of cold water, allowing them to calm down and face reality.
At this time, Xing Yi was carefully observing the corpse of the orange-scented ice centipede. In the eyes of the forensic doctor, the corpse of the orange-scented ice centipede also told Xing Yi a lot of things.
This orange-scented ice centipede can reproduce in this underground world for thousands of years, and it must be energy to maintain their survival. This energy is the cold air of the orange-scented ice tree, but a kind of cold air can also be used as energy, which surprised Xing Yi very much. Although some elves can cultivate to a certain level, they can maintain their survival by absorbing the energy between heaven and earth. But they are extremely spiritual creatures, and this orange-scented ice centipede is not listed here. So how does this orange-scented ice centipede survive in this underground square?
After carefully checking the corpses of more than a dozen orange-scented ice centipedes, Xing Yi found that the body of the orange-scented ice centipede seemed to have been tempered by spiritual energy, but the tempering was not perfect, just like a semi-finished product. It felt like it was not deliberately tempered, just like it was soaked in spiritual energy for many years and was simply transformed by spiritual energy. However, the foundation of this orange-scented ice centipede is too poor, so even if it is transformed, it is not too powerful. Perhaps it is this transformation that gives the orange-scented ice centipede the ability to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, creating the orange-scentede that can still survive under such a low temperature.
Then there is no doubt that this orange-scented ice tree can produce the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The so-called cold air is just a cover-up. The orange-scented ice centipede absorbs not only the cold air, but also the spiritual energy emitted by the orange-scented ice tree.
The other people saw Xing Yi checking the corpse of the orange-scented ice centipede without disturbing him. Who knew if it would cause a scolding or a beating?
Xing Yi thought at this time again that if the orange-scented ice centipede survived by relying on the spiritual energy of the world, how could the orange-scented ice tree survive? A creature absorbed the spiritual energy of the world and would no longer release the spiritual energy of the world. In other words, the orange-scented ice tree must have survived by other things for thousands of years.
All things are born together and each takes what they need.
Thinking of this, Xing Yi understood.
Xing Yi turned around and said to Mao Daoqi and others, "Everyone check the weapons and prepare to head towards the orange ice tree."
"Well, Brother Yi, aren't we still the same as before when we rushed up like this? Will we fight with those ice centipedes again?" Mao Daoqi asked in confusion.
"Yes, Brother Yi." Cao Hu also asked.
Although Chen Huaming and the others didn't ask, they looked at the look that meant asking.
Xing Yi smiled and said, "Our combat plan this time is to attack the roots of the Orange Fragrance Ice Tree. Everything is not unsolvable, and the same is true for the Orange Fragrance Ice Tree. The reason why the Orange Fragrance Ice Tree survived in this dark underground for a hundred years is because of the existence of the Orange Fragrance Ice Centipede. The spiritual energy released by the Orange Fragrance Ice Centipede nourishes the Orange Fragrance Ice Centipede, and the feces of the Orange Fragrance Ice Centipede are the nutrients of the Orange Fragrance Ice Tree. Since the two are symbiotic, they will have weaknesses of the tree. The roots of the tree are the lifeblood of the tree. Once the roots are destroyed, the tree will die."
Xing Yi's words made Mao Daoqi and the others suddenly realize it and suddenly realize it.
"So, this time we are going to destroy the roots of the orange-scented ice tree so that it has no source of supplies." Mao Daoqi said.
"That's right, that's it." Xing Yi nodded and said.
