alien island

"What kind of strange thing is this?" When Xiang Chen saw clearly the appearance of the black shadow, his expression was a little hesitant, and he opened his mouth and muttered.

The black shadow jumping and crouching on the deck of the ship was a strange insect that was bigger than the bee lionflies attacking them around.Its volume is about the size of a car, and it is in the shape of an oval shell. The surface of the shell is uneven and densely covered with many fine and sharp thorns.The color of the worm body is as dark as the floating wood, and it is mainly black.So at the beginning, they shrank in the corner between the boat and the cliff, and they didn't notice it.

"This thing...is probably the adult form of the bee lion?" Zhang Yao has already rushed to the side of the two little ghosts at this moment, and together he is dealing with the bee lion swarm coming up from all around, guarding against the poisonous stings on their tails. While looking at the giant beetle-like hard-shelled creature on the boat, he looked and speculated.

Although the appearance and shape of the worms seem to be completely different from those of the bees and lions crawling past them.But if you look closely at the appearance of this insect, you can still see some similarities with the bee lion fly.Especially in the head part, it looks exactly the same as the bee lion crawling happily on the ground, but the proportion of the mandible on the top of the mouth has shrunk a bit, and the color of the head has turned dark black, with a bee lion similar to the bee lion emerging on it. Yellow spots of the same color on the body.

This color is also the only bright color on the surface of the hard-shell monster's pitch-black body.Because its head is much smaller than the huge body with a round and hard shell, and it likes to shrink under the thick carapace and hide in dark and dark places. The only bright color on the strange insect's body, so it can know where this low-key creature with body color camouflage is hiding.

However, the strange worm that appeared in front of Zhang Yao and the others unexpectedly appeared on its own initiative. It seemed that the four of them disturbed its dormancy, or it was just a coincidence that the worm was hungry now...

"Brother Zhang Yao, what should we do now?"

The situation was urgent, Ke Yiqiao turned his head, and he could see that the group of orcs who were rushing towards them were being stopped by brother Pei Yan.As if he understood that a group of orcs could not be stopped by one person, Brother Pei Yan didn't know what method to use, but he knocked down the cliff a few times, and immediately collapsed several huge rocks, rolling down on the sandy road In the middle, the path leading to this side becomes narrower, and the orcs are not easy to swarm over at the same time.

But even so, with so many orcs, there is no way to stop them completely with Brother Pei Yan alone.There were several orcs, and while Pei Yan was fighting with other orcs, they tried to climb over from the gaps or rocks next to them.Coupled with the interference of the swarm of bugs that have been surrounding them and they don't want to leave, Ke Yiqiao thought that no matter how hard she tried not to hold her back, she still couldn't deal with these bugs as easily as Brother Zhang Yao and the others. The orcs who are coming after them.

This continuous fighting has worn down most of Ke Yiqiao's physical strength.Whenever she raised the weapon in her hand, she felt that her arms became extremely weak and tired, but she still chose to continue to grit her teeth and persist, unwilling to admit defeat so easily.

Up to now, their only "life-saving straw", the boat made of floating wood, suddenly jumped on such a huge strange insect, which looks completely unknown from the outside, what are they going to do?

Zhang Yao quickly turned his head around and checked the current situation. He knew that if he didn't hurry up to push the boat, once the orcs chasing them got close to them and started fighting, things would become more troublesome and protracted.So he made a decision, and told the two little ghosts behind him: "This bug, I'll lure it away, you two hurry up and take this opportunity to continue pushing the boat."

"It's dangerous..." He raised his head and looked again at the giant monster lying on the boat, which hadn't moved, but seemed to be paying attention to them all the time.Ke Yiqiao's palms were almost sweating from nervousness.Such a large insect, if it is an adult bee lion fly, must be even more difficult to deal with.Brother Zhang Yao went to deal with it alone, nothing would happen, right?

"Don't worry about him, maybe we will die faster than him." Xiang Chen used the stone ax in his hand to knock away a bee lion fly that was sneaking up to his feet, and raised one leg to avoid it quickly. The poisonous sting from the tail of the bee lionfly continued.Now they have enough to deal with just a few bugs, how can they have time to worry about others?It is not easy to ensure that they can persist until they push the boat alive.

"That's it! So, you two hold on to me, don't be bitten to death!" Zhang Yao's cold and masculine face raised a smile, bent down and quickly picked up a piece on the ground, and picked it up from the cliff. The fallen palm-sized gravel shook in the palm of his hand. He stretched his arm back and lifted it, and then threw it forward with great force. The throw was quite accurate, and it hit the bug lying on the boat hard. body.

After quietly waiting for a few seconds of silence, the bug still didn't seem to respond or move at all, which made the three of them not know what to say.

Just when Xiang Chen was about to taunt, whether it was because the worm’s shell was too thick, that’s why the stone that Zhang Yao threw in the past didn’t cause any impact on it, the huge hard-shelled strange worm finally moved. move.

"Bah———————————"

The worm's head was considered small compared to its body, and it suddenly turned sideways.The sharp and sharp curved palate on its mouth also flicked to the sides.Two white fangs that can stretch out of the mouth, more than half a meter long and covered with thin barbed hooks, are exposed from the dark blue mouth of the strange insect.On the tip of those thorns, it seems that there is a small black dot on it, as long as it is scratched, the venom will immediately enter the victim's body.

"Crack! The poisonous stinger has changed its position?!" Zhang Yao didn't guess that the poisonous stinger that was originally at the end of the larva's tail has now grown and evolved into the worm's mouth, and can be freely stretched out. Like vipers, they can freely control their fangs.

The hard-shelled worm that was irritated by the blow of the stone and made ear-piercing noises jumped down from the boat at an astonishing speed. Its black compound eyes stared straight at its target. Zhang Yao's The direction came over.

Seeing that the bug was really irritated by him, Zhang Yao quickly turned around and ran away from the ship, trying to lure the bug as far away from the ship as possible.Fortunately, the bug was indeed annoyed by him, and he didn't pay attention to the existence of the other two at all, and followed Zhang Yao's direction directly.Zhang Yao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, giving the two little ghosts a little more time and opportunity to continue pushing the boat.And now he himself has to be more careful, he doesn't want to be a tragic victim of rescue...

After transforming into adults, most of the bee lionflies chose to leave this place to find mates and catch more food in other areas of the island.For some unknown reason, the only adult insect here did not leave, but stayed comfortably in the gap between the boat and the cliff.Until the current unexpected situation disturbed its sleep.

I thought it was the prey that came to the door automatically, but I didn’t expect that the stone of the prey would strike back, and the ferocity of the giant monster insect was immediately aroused. If it doesn’t attack and kill the prey that provokes it, the adult bee lion will never Let it go.

Zhang Yao, who didn't know that this insect was very vengeful, continued to lure the huge hard-shelled monster away from the ship.

……

"呲呲呲-"

The worm was more difficult than Zhang Yao expected. He did not expect such a huge worm to respond surprisingly quickly.It is in stark contrast to its slow-moving larvae, the bee lionfly.Even though Zhang Yao's resilience and physical strength have been significantly improved now, it is not so easy to deal with this hard-shelled monster, especially a super-sized monster with the same size as a car.Every time when he raised the dagger in his hand and wanted to stab the hard-shell monster insect, the monster always seemed to have the power of foresight, and dodged it first, making his blow completely miss.

Turning his head quickly to one side, avoiding the venomous fangs that suddenly popped out from the insect's mouth, Zhang Yao quickly walked forward a few steps, came to the side of the strange insect, and slammed the dagger at the beetle at lightning speed body of.This blow finally made a hole in the body of the strange insect.The worm's carapace was injured by the indestructible ore dagger, and the white flesh that is unique to the worm body was exposed inside.It's a pity that the strange insect's reaction was really not slow. Before Zhang Yao could make it deeper, the strange insect had already retreated and avoided it.So in the end, it just opened its shell, but did not touch the vital organs inside.

Injured by Zhang Yao, the hard-shelled monster screamed excitedly. After screaming several times in a row, suddenly, the bug stepped back a few steps, but its oval compound eyes were still close together. Watching Zhang Yao.

Zhang Yao didn't know what the worm was doing, although he also hoped that the worm wanted to flee after being injured by him.But looking at the posture of the monster in front of him on full alert and hostility, and the cry of "呵呵呵——" that didn't stop his anger at all, Zhang Yao knew that this insect didn't give up so quickly.

There is an extremely narrow gap between the oval arched back of the hard-shell monster insect, and it is slowly starting to widen at this moment.The black shell of the hard-shelled monster suddenly lifted up to the left and right, and two pairs of light yellow, transparent elytra with gray spots and black veins stretched out from the inside.The two pairs of elytra quickly spread out and flew up, lifting the seemingly huge hard-shelled monster into the air at once, and it was able to fly freely in the air.

Before Zhang Yao had time to react, he was attacked by the strange insect that suddenly took off.The thin limbs and feet under the body of the hard-shelled monster worm opened and grabbed Zhang Yao who was standing on the beach. Then, at the speed of a bullet, he rushed to the other side of the cliff with Zhang Yao, knocking Zhang Yao away. Yao's body slammed into the hard cliff.

"bump!!!"

With the contact and impact between the body and the rock, many pieces of gravel on the cliff also fell, and Zhang Yao's body slid down from the cliff after the impact, and landed heavily on the beach.The moment it landed, a large layer of fine sand was lifted up on the ground, almost covering Zhang Yao's entire figure.

Ke Yiqiao and Xiang Chen, who were pushing the boat on the other side, and also taking care of dodging and dealing with the bees and lions, had already pushed the boat forward and tilted a little.At this time, they also witnessed Zhang Yao's dangerous situation.Ke Yiqiao was anxious and wanted to shout Zhang Yao's name immediately, but was stopped by Xiang Chen who was next to him: "Don't shout! It would be bad to attract that bug to our side again."

"But..." Ke Yiqiao didn't dare to relax and continued to push forward, and Ke Yiqiao's eyes burst into tears as the hull of the ship slowly moved with the wood underneath.Seeing that the huge monster insect that knocked brother Zhang Yao onto the cliff was slowly crawling towards the place where brother Zhang Yao fell down, and those bee and lion flies nearby were also crawling there. I am very worried about Zhang Yao's safety.

"Don't worry, let's do what Zhang Yao told us first, he shouldn't be so fragile..." Although Xiang Chen comforted Ke Yiqiao, he didn't know what Zhang Yao's situation was like. .But now if they pass by, they won't be able to help in any way. It's even more impossible for the two of them to solve the bug that Zhang Yao can't resist.Moreover, he turned his head and glanced at the direction behind, and then said to Ke Yiqiao: "Pei Yan has helped in the past, don't worry now."

I saw that Pei Yan, who was dealing with the orcs, rushed towards Zhang Yao immediately after noticing the movement here.With Pei Yan's help, Xiang Chen thought to himself, Zhang Yao should not be in any greater crisis.Although, as Pei Yan turned around, the large number of orcs who were originally blocked also rushed over...
