Chapter 69: Strange ‘Insect Eggs’

Bending down, Li Ming stretched out his hands and hugged the object, just like hugging a carrot, and pulled it hard. Li Ming clenched his teeth and frowned, but the red oval object did not move at all, as if it really grew on the ice.

"Oh my god, is this thing growing on the ground?"

Li Ming stood up again and looked at the object again.

"MD, I... don't believe it?!"

Li Ming leaned down again and hugged the object with both hands again, but this time Li Ming used all the energy in his body, held his breath, and then exerted force violently.

With the blessing of energy, the force this time has been strengthened several times. Li Ming can clearly sense that the object is being pulled up slowly, and it also makes a 'squeaking' sound.

"It's... coming out!"

Li Ming gritted his teeth and burst out these words from his teeth. His face was red and his neck was thick from holding his breath. His arms and body were even more powerful.

And this oval object is indeed connected to the deep underground. The red object is connected to the red object deep in the ice like a root. As Li Ming continued to exert force, the ice surface slowly cracked, and the squeaking sound was made by the ice.

Li Ming gritted his teeth, his forehead was bulging with blue veins, his arms and body were tightly tensed, and the round object was slowly leaving the ice surface, and a large piece of red roots appeared at the bottom. Those roots were connected to the red object under the ice layer and were extremely strong.

"Ah...!"

Li Ming shouted while exerting force, wishing that every cell in his body was exerting force.

"Pah"

With a sound, Li Ming's body turned over and fell directly. Under inertia, his body lay directly on the ice surface. The red roots had been broken. At this time, Li Ming had something else in his hand, a blood-red oval object, and he didn't know what it was.

He stood up hurriedly and looked at the object in his hand. It was blood-red, oval, and like a football. The end of the pullout still had a lot of bright red roots, and it was dripping with red liquid, like blood.

As he was watching carefully, he suddenly heard a bubbling sound of "gurgling" in his ears. Li Ming looked up and saw that the hole he had just pulled out actually began to emit red liquid.

The red liquid was like human blood. After overflowing, it began to flow around along the ice surface. At the same time, the ice surface under his feet began to vibrate slightly, and cracks spread out in all directions, as if something was about to drill out from underground.

The "squeaking" sound continued to be heard. Li Ming hurriedly stood up and quickly retreated. Several figures flashed and left the ice area and returned to the crystals on the edge. Li Ming, who was standing on the crystal, looked at the situation in front of him in confusion, but the crisp squeaks seemed to be constantly heard by his ears.

Li Ming subconsciously lowered his head, and the crystal under his feet was actually cracking. The cracks were from the inside out, as if the things inside were constantly expanding and trying to jump out of the crystal.

Li Ming didn't dare to stay there any longer. He put away the objects in his hand and turned back to the soft ground. He glanced at the crystals that were cracking. He suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. He turned around and prepared to leave. Before he took a few steps, Li Ming's figure suddenly stopped, and his eyes were full of astonishment. Wherever he looked, all the crystals were cracked, accompanied by that kind of squeaking sound.

It seemed that some mechanism was turned on. The crystal blocks that originally had no energy began to release weak energy, and at the same time, a terrifying breath also permeated the surroundings.

As the cracks in those crystal blocks continued to increase, the crystals began to break and fall off, like a building that was slowly collapsing. All of this was carefully noticed by Li Ming's eyes, and Li Ming also walked out quickly from the depths of the cave while paying attention to the changes around him. As the crystals fell off, the red objects inside the crystal blocks had already appeared.

Li Ming's eyes focused and his steps could not help but speed up a bit. The invisible tension gave people oppression. There was only one thought in his mind, to leave here immediately.

‘Bang’

A muffled sound came from a crystal, and all the crystals broke and fell off, as if a small explosion had occurred inside the crystal. The red object inside actually flew out and rushed into the air of the cave. Li Ming, who was walking quickly, also stopped following the sound and looked up. He saw a one-meter-long unknown creature flying in the air.

The body shape of this creature is similar to the cicadas on the trees in summer, but the color of the body surface has changed from the original red to earthy brown, and this creature keeps flapping its wings like two leaves. The pair of light bulb-like eyes keep turning and finally stop on Li Ming’s body.

‘Hesitate’ a strange sound was heard, and this creature actually swooped down at Li Ming. Li Ming was shocked and ran away with his legs faster. He didn’t know what it was, but the dangerous aura had filled his nerves. Although Li Ming was extremely fast, he was still a few points behind the flying strange insect.

The strange insect had a one-foot-long mouth under its head. Every time it approached Li Ming, it would stab fiercely, like a sharp short blade.

Li Ming could only run and dodge at the same time, but during this period, the whole area continued to make the sound of crystal blocks breaking, like setting off firecrackers, and various creatures quickly jumped out of those crystal stones.

These creatures were strange and bizarre, some flew as soon as they came out, and some could only crawl on the ground. Although these strange insects were red in the crystal stones, the color automatically faded once they came out of the crystal stones, some were black, and some were blue.

Their body sizes are also completely different, but the largest one is only one meter long. Li Ming, who was running, immediately sensed the presence of various bugs and secretly screamed: "Not good!"

He quickly took out an object with his right hand, which was the Stardust weapon, Haitaki.

A white light flashed in his hand, and a set of armor suddenly appeared on Li Ming's body. At the same time, he also held a four-foot long sword in his right hand. With the weapon bonus, Li Ming's speed had accelerated a bit, but that sword was similar to The cicada monster has approached again and swooped down from the sky.

Seeing the right moment, Li Ming waved his right hand, a white light flashed, and the long sword passed through the air behind him. The strange insect was split in two and fell to the ground.

The seemingly ferocious monsters were vulnerable to a single blow, but there were more and more monsters around them, and they seemed to be surrounding them. Naturally, they couldn't stop fighting in this situation. Li Ming looked up and looked into the distance, and he could already see the entrance to the whirlpool cave. , and at the same time, he swung the long sword in his hand to cut off several strange insects that were close to him. The figure flashed, stood up and jumped, directly coming to the entrance of the whirlpool cave.

At this time, all the crystal blocks directly below the entrance of the whirlpool cave had been broken, and strange insects of different sizes completely occupied the area. As soon as Li Ming landed, the long sword in his hand was cut down, and a squirming insect was killed. Split in the middle.

This frontal blow also allowed Li Ming to see clearly that the body of this strange insect was almost dry. Except for the soft tissues in the body, there was not even a drop of blood or even excess liquid. However, Li Ming could not care about this at the moment. , the long sword in his hand was swung again, and the insects were like green vegetables, without any resistance under the blade, and they were torn apart directly.

After killing a dozen of them, Li Ming activated his energy and jumped up to the vortex at the top, shouting "Elias..."

Elias, who had been waiting at the top of the mountain for a long time, immediately became energetic when he heard the call, showed joy, and whispered: "It seems that this kid succeeded!"

He moved and took out the green metal rod again, but when he was about to do something, he suddenly paused and stopped.

His excited expression calmed down, and he said to the whirlpool: "Have you found the Star Flame?"

Li Ming was already standing on a protruding rock from the cliff not far below the whirlpool, and several flying insects were rushing toward him. Li Ming waved his sword to resist and shouted to the top: "There are no stars in this at all." Yan... open the hole quickly!"

"No Star Flame?!"

Elias was startled at first, but his eyes moved for a while, as if he was thinking about something.

"Hmph..." After thinking for a while, Elias showed disdain and said, "I have accompanied you here so far. Even if there is no Xingyan, at least you should give me some compensation..."

At this critical moment, Elias was still thinking about bargaining with him. Li Ming couldn't help but look sad. But at this time, more and more flying insects continued to pounce here. Even if the sword could resist it, if the number continued to increase, Li Ming will not be able to cope with it either.

In desperation, Li Ming ignored the other party and used his consciousness to operate the star furnace on his body.

But Elias above noticed that Li Ming had not replied for a long time, so he couldn't help but chuckled and said, "What? Don't you want to come up? Compared with your life, are you unwilling to pay for this benefit?"

Just as Elias was speaking, a black shadow suddenly sprang out of the whirlpool. The high temperature and power of the whirlpool were obvious to all. Even with fire-proof armor, he could not forcefully break through. This sudden object made Elias feel uncomfortable. Xing was startled, shocked, his whole body shrank involuntarily, and he looked up.

The black figure that emerged from the whirlpool was none other than Li Ming, but at this time, Li Ming's body was wrapped in a black light curtain. He was also wearing strange armor and holding a long sword.

Li Ming, who escaped from the vortex, did not return to the ground, but went straight to the high-altitude spaceship. Li Ming's ability to break through the high-temperature vortex mainly relied on the shield provided by the star furnace. Li Ming had already tried it before entering the vortex. The shield of the star furnace was It can absorb this energy. This is considered a back-up that Li Ming left for himself. Unexpectedly, he actually used it. Of course, the star furnace shield alone is not enough, plus the fire-proof armor and stardust weapon armor. Only with a layer of protection can you successfully pass through the high-temperature vortex.

Seeing that Li Ming was about to leave, Elias also stood up and flew towards the spacecraft, and shouted in a low voice: "Boy, do you want to swallow the Star Flame all by yourself?!"

But at this moment, the spacecraft that was originally parked in the air suddenly moved slightly and flew towards Li Ming.

"Huh?! What's going on?!"

Elias couldn't help but be secretly surprised, but as he slowly got closer, Elias's eyes could see clearly that Zenia was actually operating the spacecraft.

Zenia opened the cover in front of the cockpit and waved to Li Ming through the transparent window with a bright smile. Li Ming was also surprised when he saw this scene. He didn't expect that this little guy had such a hand.

As soon as Li Ming approached, the hatch on the prison ship opened directly, but as soon as Li Ming entered, the hatch automatically closed.

As soon as Elias, who was approaching the spacecraft, saw the hatch closed, his expression suddenly changed, and his angry eyes immediately turned to the cockpit.

"This brat... actually!"

Elias almost burst out these words through his teeth, but at the same time, the whirlpool hole on the planet below suddenly experienced an abnormality, and black objects were flying out of it.
