I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler - Chapter 487 486. Ice in the Desert

   Chapter 487 486. Ice in the Desert

Since the mission did not require you to travel with these researchers, Lu Jun's initial plan was to obtain information about the insect swarm through these researchers, and then go alone and use [Cat Poisoning] to attract the queen, and finally Get the Heart of the Swarm and run away.

   But now it seems that these researchers do not have very specific information, and they have to follow it.

  If the other party was killed, he went to track the swarm out of curiosity, and in turn was discovered by the other party, then the fate of these three companions, Lu Bian can't say.

   This is like those researchers who chase tornadoes and volcanic eruptions. Although they have obtained first-hand information about many disasters for human beings, they are also racing against death.

   In the early morning of the second day, the sun had not yet risen, and the team was ready to move on.

Ruins are rarely seen in the wasteland. Because of the weathering for many years, most of the buildings have become gravel, and they no longer have the grandeur and magnificence before the disaster, and a small number of existing buildings have become the paradise of insects. .

  The building will leave shadows, and in the hot day, some bugs will gather in these shadows, and the ecological chain starts from these bugs.

   Therefore, walking on the wasteland and encountering ruins is sometimes not a good thing.

"So hot."

   Lu Kizuna felt that all the water on his body was about to evaporate.

  Fortunately, when the sweat is about to be secreted, it will be absorbed by the plants and trees in the skin, achieving a perfect internal circulation and will not cause excess water loss.

   "We need to add some water."

   Hearing Lu Han's words, Shuangxin said.

   She was wearing a hat to block the sun. I don't know if it was Lu Bian's illusion. He felt that the woman didn't seem too hot.

"now?"

  Lu Kian didn't quite understand. In the middle of the desert, the surrounding area is barren. Where should I supplement the water source?

I saw everyone else stopped. Frostheart took out a black pillar about the thickness of an arm from the backpack carried by the camel bug. She inserted the pillar on the ground, and a subtle vibration spread from the gravel. .

   gave Lu Han the feeling that the sonar was exploring something.

  Suddenly, the tremor of the earth resonated with the tremor of the pillar.

   The next moment, Lu Bian saw that the nearby sandy ground began to rise and fall, as if something was about to emerge, and it was about to come under the sun.

   "The big one is coming?"

   Lu Bian asked subconsciously.

Immediately afterwards, something broke out of the ground. It was a huge worm. Its body was a dark yellow color of gravel, and its skin was rough, but it gave people a soft feeling of disobedience. Lu Bian could see that the worm had at least surpassed it. Twenty meters long and close to one meter in diameter, its mouthparts are like lampreys, densely packed with teeth, and there is a lot of grit between these teeth, as if it is an existence that devours grit for a living.

   As soon as the worm came out, Lu Kian saw that he suddenly pulled out the knife he was carrying on his back.

   The knife in this young man's hand looked like it was carved from the bones of some kind of creature.

  The crystals on his arms lit up at the same time, and the blue glow like stars made the surroundings darker.

   The boy charged at the big bug with a knife.

   At this time, Lu Bian knew why his name was Setsuna.

   Not because he grabbed the future, but because he was so fast.

The hand raised the knife and fell, at a speed that could not be captured by the naked eye, the simple knife did not penetrate the rough skin surface of the worm, and drew a long hole, the huge worm twitched because of it, but the fine teeth could not catch it. to the target.

In Lu Bian's [True Vision], the actions of the moment were decomposed, and Lu Bian discovered that, with the light of the crystal on his arm, the whole person seemed to enter a special state in an instant, and the whole body glowed blue. The ray of light, within this light, his movements are accelerated, or the movement of everything except him is slowed down, which gives Moan the gap to easily escape the worm's attack.

  If this kid appeared in Lu Kian's world, he would probably get the title of Flash or Quicksilver.

  The worm's wound spewed out pale sap, which fell into the sand and quickly stained the ground, turning the sand a deep black.

   Then, the singer pulled the neckline, revealing the crystal like a necklace in the throat, and then opened his mouth and began to sing loudly.

She used a language that Lu Bian couldn't understand, or perhaps made up words that had no meaning at all. Although she sang a cappella, she could hear the melodious melody. In this song, it seemed that all despair and haze had been swept away. And empty, refreshing and happy.

   Accompanied by the singing, the insect's wound showed signs of deterioration, and more greasy juice spurted out from the wound, as if the singing had pulled open the wound, and more flesh and blood had been plucked out of it.

  The big gray worm kept struggling and wanted to get back to the ground, but Frostheart did not know when it came to the worm.

   Ignoring the filth of flesh and blood, she put her hand directly into the torn wound.

   A chill bloomed from Frostheart's palm and spread along with the wound.

  Kacha——

   At a speed visible to the naked eye, the bug was frozen.

  Cold frost covered the surface of the bug, the splashed juice solidified in mid-air, and a gorgeous flower bloomed on the desert.

   At this time, the morning of the wasteland really comes, the sun shines from the other side of the horizon, and the ice crystals reflect the light and shine.

  Kacha——

  Shuangxin pulled out her hand from the frozen bug corpse, and she could see that her palm was red, which was a trace of slight frostbite.

  Lu Kizuna knew why she was called Shuangxin.

   Her heart is probably a piece of frost.

   "Hurry up, we will set off when we have enough water supply."

  Shuangxin said, pulling out the black pillar at the same time.

   "This thing can make some kind of special frequency sound to attract this kind of worm, and these worms have the water we need in their bodies."

   Seeing Lu Bian's puzzled appearance, Shuangxin shook the pillar in her hand.

   "Get moisture from them?"

  Lu Kizuna looked at the frozen monster body fluids, slightly disgusted.

   "Relax, these insects have water storage bags in their bodies. They collect the water in them by chewing on the sand, so they have a large amount of clean water in their bodies, which can be consumed by humans as long as they are boiled."

  Shuangxin explained that she had taken out the pickaxe from her backpack, knocked open the frozen bug, and took out the huge ice block with the other two.

   When the ice cubes were chiseled down, the temperature had risen a lot, and the frozen bugs were gradually melting.

   They only took a part of the water, including the rest, enough for a week's reserve, and the rest of the water gradually disappeared into the desert like this.

   "There must be something left for other creatures."

  Shuangxin looked at the disappearing corpse and muttered to herself.
