National Development: I built a base on the rock beast - Chapter 377
Chapter 377 Alternative wall penetration
Due to the weak attacks of the Tsundere Turtle and Kuela outside, the Insect King’s injury was not that serious. So much so that the frequency with which it absorbs energy from the insect nest also begins to decrease.
This situation made Duan Ming feel more and more unreliable to passively rely on the energy circuits on the inner wall of the insect nest to find the energy source of the insect nest.
“Since these energy circuits can allow energy to flow, what if I input energy into them? Is it easier to follow the clues?”
With this thought in mind, the blocking bug temporarily fell into a neutral position.
Duan Ming spread out the inner wall of the insect nest with a sword, and then pressed it up with one hand.
“I hope it works~”
In order to prevent his fire energy from being incompatible with the Zerg’s energy circuit, Duan Ming inputs pure energy into the circuit.
Although this consumes more energy, in order to find the energy source of the insect nest as soon as possible, Duan Ming can’t care so much for a while.
Facts have proved that Duan Ming was right to do this. Duan Ming’s energy successfully entered the circuit and surged in the opposite direction towards the energy source of the insect nest.
Because each loop delivers very little energy, Duan Ming does not consume too much energy through reverse input energy tracking.
After discovering this, Duan Ming also breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, there are still a lot of bugs to clean up next, and there might be strong Zerg guards around the energy source.
If Duan Ming consumes too much energy because he is looking for energy sources, he may not be able to deal with the enemy.
Just when Duan Ming was looking for an energy source, the insects that came to stop Duan Ming also came swarming again.
Seeing this, Duan Ming just held his sword in one hand, slashed out a few flame slashes at will, and ignited the insects that came up.
Because of his distraction, Duan Ming’s flames were not as condensed as before to directly burn the insects to ashes.
Most of the bugs disappeared after being burned to death by the flames, leaving only charred corpses in place.
A large number of insect corpses were piled up within a 5-meter radius of Duan Ming, forming a semicircular corpse wall composed of insect corpses.
Some insects wanted to retrieve the insect masters on the corpse wall, but as soon as they got close, they were burned to death by Duan Ming’s flame slash, adding more bricks to the corpse wall.
When the wall of corpses was about to cover Duan Ming’s head and bury Duan Ming alive in disguise, Duan Ming groaned and released his hand from the inner wall of the insect nest.
Recalling the situation he had just sensed, Duan Ming couldn’t help but murmured: “There is indeed a strong person sitting on the opposite side. I am afraid that my investigation just now has been discovered by the other party.”
“It seems like I have to rush there as soon as possible.”
After looking at the mountain of insect corpses in front of him, Duan Ming held his sword with both hands and struck out with a flame slash that was more intense than the previous analysis. Turn the insect corpses that make up the corpse wall into ashes.
Although this move seems unnecessary, Duan Ming, who has seen the role of the hatching blanket in the insect nest, knows it. If these corpses are left alone, they will be recycled by the insects and become nutrients for the insect king.
After cleaning up the insect corpses, Duan Ming quickly rushed towards the place where the energy source was.
The insects guarding the energy source of the insect nest seemed to have discovered this, and immediately sent out a large number of insects to stop it.
Facing these incoming insects, Duan Ming resisted while recalling the topographic map of the insect nest that he had explored through the energy circuits in his mind.
Soon, Duan Ming found a shortcut that could avoid the insect encirclement and quickly reach the energy source of the insect nest.
With a sword, the insects on the bed were burned to ashes, and Duan Ming slashed at the corridor next to him.
The corridor was burned through under Duan Ming’s high-temperature slashes. Duan Ming kicked up and directly kicked through the corridor, thus entering another corridor.
Because Duan Ming suddenly changed the corridor, the insects that originally surrounded Duan Ming lost their effect.
After a commotion, the insects began to gather in the corridor where Duan Ming’s box was located.
But who would have thought that before it was large enough to stop Duan Ming, Duan Ming struck again at his feet midway. Breaking through the ground, he entered directly into the corridor below.
Seeing this, the insects swarmed towards the corridor below.
Under Duan Ming’s operation, the insect that was supposed to intercept Duan Ming from the front had no choice but to chase Duan Ming from behind.
After mastering the general structure of the insect nest, he used the “wall penetration technique” that was almost rogue-like. Duan Ming quickly approached the energy source of the insect nest while spinning the insects around.
After a dash of rushing through the wall, Duan Ming finally arrived at the place where the energy source of the insect nest was located.
After forcibly breaking through the last wall, Duan Ming came to a vast space.
Unlike Duan Ming’s imagination, which was full of energy crystals, this huge cavity was filled with square pools of green liquid.
Because Duan Ming arrived so suddenly, the insects here were obviously not ready to deal with Duan Ming.
I saw a few purple tool bugs, pushing a few ordinary bugs that looked very old into the energy pool.
The few old ordinary bugs subconsciously wanted to resist, but were electrocuted by the purple tool bugs.
There was a pop of objects falling into the water, and the old bugs fell into the energy pool and never came up again.
After seeing this situation, Duan Ming finally understood why the previous sea urchins were so concerned about S-class. And among the bugs that blocked him, why was there only an S-level existence called the sea urchin?
If Duan Ming’s induction was correct, the two bugs that were dragged into the energy pool just now should be S-level.
However, it seems that because he lived too long, he has declined to a quasi-S level.
Looking at the color of the energy pool again, there is not a trace of purple in the emerald green.
Duan Ming suddenly had a guess: “Could it be that for so many years, the real support for the insect nest is the insects that survived the war.”
“The energy source of the insect king is also the energy liquid transformed from the corpses of those insects.”
“And those insects that can control lightning and thunder hatched in the secret realm cannot be absorbed by the insect king and the insect nest.”
“This is also the reason why these energy pools are emerald green and not mixed with a trace of thunder element energy.”
“In order to recover from his injuries, the insect king probably threw a lot of protozoa into the energy pool. Even the mainstream thrown into the energy pool are those S-level or above insects.”
“And this is the reason why there are not many S- and SS-level insects except the insect king coming out of the insect nest.”
“The reason why the sea urchin worm cares so much about the S-level is probably because it is afraid of being thrown into the energy pool when it reaches the decline period.”
After figuring everything out, Duan Ming turned his attention back to the energy pools in front of him.
Just when Duan Ming was about to try whether his flame could ignite it, a green energy beam stopped Duan Ming’s action.
After a narrow escape from the beam attack, Duan Ming turned his head to look in the direction of the attack. With just one glance, Duan Ming’s expression became extremely solemn.
