Pollution throughout the territory

Earth-burrowing demonic insect.

This is their name.

According to the records in the book, the earth-boring devils were once distributed all over the world, and their groups had a prosperous period for a long time. The lifespan of adult earth-boring devils can be up to a thousand years.

They don't need to breathe, and their bodies are always covered with mucus. They look a bit like giant squids, with all their tentacles growing at the front of their bodies, which is good for digging and hunting.

Adult earth-boring devil insects can cause strong earthquakes, can withstand extremely high temperatures, and can wander freely in magma.

Perhaps for the convenience of communication, the earth-boring demon insects also have the ability to telepathize, and can connect to a spiritual network with nearby companions to exchange information at any time. The supreme leader of the group, Shude Mel, can sense the thoughts of all groups. No matter where they are, they can be contacted.

The body of the Earth-Drilling Demonic Insect is huge and strong, and earthquake attacks can destroy everything on the surface. However, even such a powerful creature has its own weaknesses.

They are very afraid of water. Soaking in water can dissolve the mucus covering their body surface, which will lead to the death of the earth-boring devil insects.

Their other weakness is their young. The adult worms are extremely powerful and have no natural enemies, but this comes at a price.

In order to gain great strength, their cubs need to go through six different periods to complete physical changes and absorb strong power. This directly causes their cubs to be extremely fragile. Temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius are enough to kill the larvae. , ordinary people can crush the larvae to death at will with a little force.

Earth-boring bugs need to constantly migrate and change habitats. Such fragile larvae are obviously not suitable for survival in the harsh underground. Therefore, in order to avoid the worst case scenario, the larvae of the ground-boring bugs will parasitize in the dreams of other creatures. In order to obtain the most stable growth environment, they maintain their own development by swallowing the energy in dreams. This stage usually lasts for several months. When the larvae grow into the size of earthworms, they will collectively form cocoons and pupate, waiting to enter Second instar.

The second instar of the earth-boring devil insects has grown wings and has the ability to migrate, so the survival rate will be greatly improved. At this time, the larvae will lay eggs again, and then in order to find powerful similar creatures underground and seek their protection, they will shed their wings. , at the same time put on heavy armor, enter the third age, and live on the shallow ground for a period of time.

When they mature again, their size will increase again. This is because the surface of the earth can no longer cover their body shape, so the larvae will shed off the armor that is not conducive to digging, grow the tentacles on the front of the body, and at the same time the body surface will be covered with a The layer of slime is used to obtain basic energy from the soil and enter deeper into the ground. At this time, they are already in their fourth instar.

They will live comfortably underground for a period of time until their telepathic abilities are fully developed, which is the fifth age.

At this stage, no creature can stop them. The larvae will find their companions through telepathy, and then join the group until they successfully enter the sixth instar, that is, adulthood.

According to the records in the book, billions of years ago, the Earth-Drilling Demonic Insects and their supreme leader Shude Mel were sealed by the ancient gods in a mysterious city called Gharun, but then they waited until they matured. At the right time, under the leadership of the big leader, he successfully broke away from the seal and regained his power in an attempt to become great again.

Unfortunately, they did not catch up with the good time. As soon as they came out, they happened to encounter fierce turmoil on the surface. Various gods and demons were dancing wildly, and even the stars disintegrated and fell from the sky.

In this context, the insect swarm that had just broken free from the seal and had not yet fully returned to its full glory was almost annihilated, and was finally sealed again on the seabed somewhere in the southern part of Dreamland. Legend has it that the great magician Ebon built a Serac's Tower, and resides there, responsible for suppressing the earthworms.

Regarding this period of history, the record in the book is relatively vague. It does not specify the specific time it occurred, nor does it describe who sealed the earth-boring demonic insect. It seems that the author is deliberately avoiding a certain name and does not want to mention it.

But just from these brief descriptions, Xia Ren could imagine what a shocking scene it was.

At the same time, he also realized that if everything recorded in the book was true, then the world he was in now was the legendary dreamland, and this spire-shaped building was the Tower of Serak.

Because when they entered the study, they clearly saw "Eibon" written on the door plate, which was obviously the name of the great magician.

There are also the corpses of the few worms he just found at the beach, indicating that the sealing location is in this sea area.

Unknowingly, the book has turned to the last page, where a circular pattern is depicted. According to the description below, if you believe in the earth-burrowing demon insects and agree to help them become great again, you can obtain Shude Mel's Blessed, able to use the spiritual power of the demonic insects.

"No wonder Yue Dan ran to the laboratory to destroy the evidence as soon as she saw me. She may have gained some of the power of the demonic insects and can see what's special about me."

Xia Ren closed the book and unexpectedly discovered that a pool of blood had gathered at the tip of his toes.

The blood was dripping from his chin. He was so absorbed in the content of the book that he didn't even notice it.

He reached out and touched his cheek, and found that his nose and eyes were bleeding outwards.

"Brother, brother, are you okay?"

Lily hugged his thigh, raised her head and asked in concern.

Xia Ren laughed, raised his hand and wiped the blood on his face with his sleeve, and said disdainfully: "It's just a little blood, what can happen?"

He put "The Underground Digger" in his arms. This is the main book recording the history of the earth-burrowing devil insect. The method of treating atypical insect phobia may be in it. No matter what, he must take it back.

All that's left is to find the insect nest. With Lily here, maybe we can have a chance with that Xiude Mel. If we succeed, we can directly destroy the insect nest and avoid future troubles forever.

Therefore, the ignorant are fearless.

Perhaps because he had read too much, Xia Ren had no idea how crazy and dangerous his idea was.

But then, the problem came.

The earth-boring demonic insects are afraid of water. Perhaps taking this into consideration, they were sealed on the bottom of the sea, with endless sea water above them. Although the insects cannot get out, Xia Ren cannot get in, and it may even be difficult to even seal the place. turn up.

"This is how to do?"

Xia Ren frowned and fell into thought.

Lily couldn't help but feel worried when she saw that his front was completely soaked in blood.

"elder brother……"

Xia Ren lowered his head and found that although he was no longer reading, the blood had not stopped and was still flowing.

"It's okay, it's just a little bit of blood. I'm feeling better."

Before he finished speaking, his vision went dark and his body fell straight backwards.
