"Save me!"
Just as Mo Qiong was in shock, she was surrounded by even more insects. Not only that, the room where she was hiding in was also invaded by insects.
Mo Qiong did not say anything. His flying sword shot into the room and instantly pierced through three insects.
But it was still too late. The bone spikes shot out from the abdomens of the three insects and pierced through a few people at the same time.
As the bone spikes pierced through the human bodies, they spread out like claws and instantly pulled the few people into their stomachs and swallowed them whole.
"Ahhhh!"
The people who were pulled into the abdomen let out shrill cries, but what followed was the sound of bones being crushed, as if they had been squeezed into compressed biscuits by the insects.
One could only imagine how strong the muscles and bones were when a person was forcefully stuffed into the narrow opening under the insect's abdomen. Even metal would be compressed into small pieces.
"No! Don't! "Everyone shouted in horror.
They had nowhere to run. The two meter tall giant insects were like armored vehicles. They would die if they were hit or grazed.
Any bone spikes that pierced through their bodies would use their barbs to pull them into their stomachs and instantly squeeze them into mud, digesting them cleanly.
The three insects charged forward rapidly. They did not have the habit of having inner demons at all. Instead, wherever they passed, as long as they saw something valuable, they would immediately stuff it into their stomachs.
Whether it was electrical appliances, reinforced concrete, or living things, they would eat them all first.
But looking at the direction they were charging in, they were indeed heading straight for Yi Chui.
"Pu pu pu!" At the critical moment, Mo Qiong arrived in time.
With a glance from his Eagle Eye, the black sword flew out from the insects' bodies. The three insects were repeatedly pierced by the black sword and were quickly pierced into sieves.
The black sword then flew in a spiral and cut open the insects' bodies as if it was cutting a disc.
Mo Qiong saw that their internal organs were all cut open. By adjusting the landing point, the black sword flew out unstoppably and stabbed out the insects' stomachs, killing three insects in an instant.
The Bastet metal could be controlled from a distance using spiritual energy. This allowed its landing point to change constantly.
As long as Mo Qiong's spiritual energy was enough, she could control the Bastet metal to fly as she wished with her spiritual energy. Moreover, the flying process had an unstoppable effect of absolute accuracy.
The combination of Mo Qiong and Bastet Metal was like a sword user controlling an indestructible, unstoppable, and undecelerating sword.
For now, he knew that the stomach of the worm was its weakness. Once it left its body, its huge body would be useless. It was as if the stomach was the worm's main body …
Mo Qiong used the sharp side of the black sword to cut open the worm's body, and then used the sword hilt to forcefully push out the stomach pouch, killing the worm immediately.
"Things will be easier if you have a weakness."
Mo Qiong agilely rolled on the ground, dodging the insect's pincers on his back. At the same time, he continued to attack with his flying sword.
Everyone saw a little girl with white smoke rising from her feet. Around her was a black longsword that was moving back and forth in a spiral.
The flying sword cut through the insect's thick and hard carapace. Although it was not cutting through iron like mud, it was at least unstoppable.
The more the insects flew against the black sword, the faster they would be cut.
"Amazing! Ichui-kun, she can kill all these bugs by herself! "The high school student said excitedly.
"Good luck!"
The other citizens also hid behind Mo Qiong, they were all scared out of their wits by the insects.
Being digested alive, dying a horrible death. Just thinking about it sent chills down their spines.
Not to mention, they saw with their own eyes a 1.7m tall man being squeezed into a fist-sized meat patty and stuffed into his stomach.
Mo Qiong was their only hope. At that moment, everyone crowded around Mo Qiong. The black sword surrounded everyone, and any worm that came near would die.
"Candy!" Mo Qiong shouted again.
She was previously knocked out by the explosion because she ran out of sugar. Fortunately, she managed to escape in the nick of time.
Now, she had not replenished her supply. Without sugar, her mobility was greatly reduced.
When everyone heard her say that she wanted to eat candy, they thought that they had heard wrongly. Now that she said it again, they realized that she really wanted to eat candy.
The few of them immediately searched their bodies and actually found quite a number of sweets.
In this land of doomsday, no one was stupid. Food was very important. Everyone thought of ways to hide some on them.
Mo Qiong quickly opened the packaging and stuffed the candy into her mouth. She could tell that this half of the building would not last long and would collapse soon.
As expected, just as she finished eating the candy, the ground beneath her collapsed. The concrete above also came crashing down.
The black sword quickly turned into a platform. She held up an air wall and shouted, "Go up!"
Everyone quickly stepped onto the black platform. It immediately carried everyone out of the mall like a flying carpet.
In the chaos, countless buildings that came crashing down were pushed aside by Mo Qiong. She even shot at the worms to stop them.
Unfortunately, she ate too little candy. As soon as she flew out, she disappeared. A huge rock was about to hit everyone.
Mo Qiong clenched her teeth and rushed forward. Her shoulder hit the side of the huge rock. Finally, the huge rock deviated from its trajectory and landed far away.
However, she was a mortal. Her shoulder was crushed.
In the explosion, all the small items on her body were gone, including her medicine. She could only rely on her body to endure her injuries.
"Bada …"
She controlled the metal Bastet to land on the roof of the building next door. Mo Qiong looked down at the collapsed mall. Countless worms crawled out from the ruins.
Rather than saying that they crawled out, it was better to say that they ate a path.
Whether it was digging or opening a path, they relied on eating. Their digestive ability was unbelievably high.
What made Mo Qiong even more surprised was that the worms that were killed were not completely dead.
The stomach sac that was cut out seemed to still be working. Soon, it produced many cell tissues that multiplied and grew around it. At a speed visible to the naked eye, it reconstructed a carapace body.
"Yi Chui, what's going on with these worms? Explain to me clearly!" Mo Qiong immediately asked.
In the previous fierce battle, she really did not have time to communicate with Yi Chui. Now, she finally recovered.
Yi Chui's breathing was as heavy as a bellows, but he still tried his best to explain the situation.
In addition, the high school student next to him added on, so Mo Qiong quickly understood the whole story.
"So that's how it is. Your inner demon worm has become a mother, and the way it kills you is to develop a violent army … This wave of worms is a tool it produces by devouring matter and energy. It's not an inner demon …"
Mo Qiong finally understood why these worms had weaknesses. They were not inner demons at all. They were created by the inner demon's ability.
Just like an inner demon that could spit fire, the fire it created was fire … not an inner demon.
The inner demon worm was too special. So far, it was the only inner demon that did not kill the source of the origin.
Other inner demons would kill as soon as they appeared, but the worm was different. When they appeared … they would develop first.
Using violent army to create a sea of worms was no different from other inner demons that could spit fire and lightning. Although it treated others as the environment before killing the source, the worm was something that destroyed the environment and devoured all resources. That was why it could attack anyone at will.
Sorry, these worms did not treat humans as enemies. There was only one enemy, and that was Yi Chui. As for other things, they would just eat them along the way.
Eating, digestion, production, and violent army, that was the fighting style of the worm. As for the bone spur, tooth pincers, horn, and devouring mouth on the abdomen, those that looked like weapons were actually not weapons. They were just mining tools and gathering tools.
"These are the most common worker worms in 1999 … they are not combat units … I have never seen real combat units … the militia I was in only encountered these ordinary worms." Yi Chui said weakly.
Mo Qiong's mouth twitched. These were just hard labor …
Because Yi Chui's knowledge was not great, he could only instantiate an ordinary worker worm. He was not clear about the absolute adaptation of the worm. That was why the worker worm did not have the absolute adaptation characteristic.
As a militia back in the day, the biggest thing he knew about the Insectoids was their overwhelming scale and unbelievable reproductive ability.
"You have an absolute characteristic?" Mo Qiong asked.
"No … uh, does eagle eye count?" Yi Chui said.
"Yes …" Mo Qiong frowned. If Yi Chui knew eagle eye, then his inner demon must have a characteristic.
This characteristic should be reflected in reproduction or digestion.
The good news was that there was absolutely no adaptation. Yi Chui did not know that the worm could adapt. He did not force the worm to adapt to him at all …
"So, super strong physical defense and super ability absorption are just the biochemical technology of the worm. They are the strength in your knowledge …" Mo Qiong understood.
Mo Qiong was very clear that the worm was not strong at the beginning. It was under various environmental and human oppression that they evolved to the point where nuclear bombs could not break through their defense.
The characteristic of the worm was its absolute adaptation and unlimited evolution. Yi Chui had never seen the strongest worm swarm. The worm swarm that gave him nightmares was only the mid-stage worm swarm. Later on, the militia he was in brought the civilians and retreated to the rear.
Therefore, his inner demon was equivalent to the 'mid-stage worm evolution' level. It did not have the potential to continue evolving and adapting.
From the current situation, the inner demon should have inherited the production characteristic. Because of Yi Chui, the inner demon was a worker worm, so it could only reproduce worker worms. As for the rest … Yi Chui had never seen it before.
The inner demon could use resources and energy to quickly reproduce countless individuals as strong as itself.
It was equivalent to an arsenal. It could naturally create an army and produce creatures that looked like itself but were actually not of the same origin as the inner demon.
Among them, its ability to digest resources and convert energy was still at the natural level. It could not digest anything beyond the worker worm's ability.
"No wonder. The worm can even eat sand and extract a huge amount of energy. However, these worms only eat high-efficiency materials and only eat earth and rocks. They probably can't extract much energy. "
Mo Qiong thought to himself. The Mental Demon Insectoids were already pseudo-insectoids, and the tools they produced were not even pseudo-insectoids. They did not have any special characteristics at all. They were purely biological weapons that exceeded the current level of human technology.
"Although the potential is fixed and there is only one type of soldier, the miners … as long as the inner demon's reproduction ability is really at the characteristic level, it can produce as many worms as there are materials. In terms of speed, it can 'produce an army with one click' …"
Mo Qiong did not think that this was easy to deal with. The inner demon worker worm was hiding somewhere and continuously producing soldiers. It was actually a bigger threat than the inner demon.
The previous wave of inner demons could at least be killed, but these worms could not be killed.
Although the worms had a weakness, this weakness was not weak at all. The thing that looked like a stomach was actually a production line. It combined smelting, synthesis, and production. It could quickly digest resources and produce body tissues.
The worm's body was too strong. Mo Qiong relied on the combination of absolute accuracy and Bastet metal to cut it open so easily. If it were a normal weapon, although it could still penetrate through, it would be useless after each cut.
The shell was harder than the best steel, and the cell tissues inside were as tough as polymer materials. In addition to the horn that could absorb energy, missiles were useless.
And Bastet metal … there was only one!
