Chapter 949 Design, Foodborne Insects

Facing Qin Zhe's deliberation, which was almost talking to himself, Dongfang Xu remained silent.

But her complexion gradually became ugly.

Qin Zhe saw her look in his eyes, and his expression gradually became more dignified.

His conjecture was just a possibility he thought of.

But after deliberation, Dongfang Xu's expression told him that he was probably right.

Looking back at the road he and Dongfang Xu had traveled, Qin Zhe asked for confirmation.

"A question, is the first two eighth steps down because of the fork in the right side of the stele chosen by a dead student?"

Dongfang Xu nodded silently, then spoke.

"The search and rescue team dispatched later also took the right fork under their guidance."

"..."

Qin Zhe was silent.

The situation is getting worse.

There are various indications that the two eighth ranks were deliberately guided, and finally chose the right path.

The ferocious creatures the two of them encountered probably possessed advanced intelligence.

It is not uncommon to be able to make two eighth-level dangerous creatures with wisdom.

But at the same time, it is also possible that there are other intelligent creatures in the ruins, instigating the fierce creatures.

No matter which one of them is possible, the more than 30 students may have died collectively, and the search and rescue team may not be much better.

Somebody or something deliberately led the two eighth-orders to the right. There could be no reason.

In the end, the two eighth ranks managed to escape.

But the subsequent search and rescue team is very likely to die.

In the key search and rescue team, there is no eighth order.

It is very likely that they were attacked not long after they came down.

The imprint on the ground that Qin Zhe and Dongfang Xu pursued is most likely not left by them, but forged.

Starting from the ruins of the two eighth steps, they encountered design.

The mark left by the search and rescue team is so obvious, how difficult can it be for a creature with advanced intelligence to forge a design?

Dongfang Xu, as a high-level person in the Dragon Kingdom, has a natural and transparent mind.

It's just that she has a preconceived idea about this matter.

At this moment, through Qin Zhe's suggestion, she has already thought of everything that should be thought of.

Taking a deep breath, Dongfang Xu whispered.

"Next, what shall we do?"

"keep going."

Qin Zhe raised his eyes and said.

"It's already gone so deep, it's inevitable that it's inappropriate to look back at this moment, and besides, I'm just guessing."

Speaking, he said again.

"The direction of the students is estimated to be the passage on the left side of the stele, but the search and rescue team must be on the right. Let's assume that my guess is wrong, and the marks on the ground are all left by the search and rescue team. If they are still alive, we will continue walking Should be able to meet."

"OK."

Dongfang Xu nodded in approval.

At this juncture, she could no longer count on the possibility of the student surviving.

But the search and rescue team, there is still a glimmer of hope.

If you have hope, you can't give up.

...

After a brief exchange, the two continued to walk along the right path, and the speed increased a lot.

After preliminary scrutiny, they confirmed not only that there are advanced intelligent designs in the ruins.

It is even more clear that the higher intelligence entrenched in the ruins is not powerful.

If it is not designed by other advanced intelligence, but the fierce existence in the ruins possesses intelligence, then there is nothing to be afraid of.

Can't even keep the two eighth steps, how much trouble can they create in front of Qin Zhe?

Of course, say so.

No matter Qin Zhe or Dongfang Xu, they did not relax while speeding up.

After all, the two of them didn't know exactly what existed in the ruins.

And really, as the two of them thought, the ruins here are too low-grade to be honest.

It should be noted that this is the Kunlun restricted area.

Taking the ecological chain of the Kunlun forbidden zone as a standard, the eighth level is only the middle and lower levels.

If you change the place where fierce beasts are entrenched on the surface of the restricted area, let alone two eighth-levels, if you dare to act recklessly with two hundred eighth-levels, you will be ordered to enter but not ordered to come out.

...

In a blink of an eye, another half hour passed.

Qin Zhe and Dongfang Xu continued to move forward and finally found the end of the mark.

Both of them stopped, their expressions were indescribably gloomy.

The end of the mark is not the end of the road.

There is still a road ahead.

Since they came deeper underground, there was only endless darkness in front of the two of them, and they couldn't see far at all.

At the end of the mark, there were no signs of fighting, and no corpses were left behind.

Its continuation ends here, implying that even if the mark is really left by the search and rescue personnel, the team may be in danger.

In the end, such a result was obtained, and Qin Zhe and Dongfang Xu's emotions were indescribably complicated.

But right now, there is another problem.

The two of them walked together without encountering anything.

Now that the results have been confirmed and the imprint has come to an end, it's time for them to meet some "designs".

Sure enough, not long after the two stopped, there was a faint "rustling" sound in the endless darkness of the passage ahead.

Something is approaching.

Looking at each other, Qin Zhe and Dongfang Xu chose to withdraw and back away at the same time.

All the way along the mark to come here, say that the two of them are iron, don't believe in evil.

There is clearly a "design" ahead, and they can't just bump into it head-on.

Just when the two were about to retreat, there was a subtle "rustling" sound from the road behind them.

While the sound came very suddenly, it was denser and much closer than the road ahead, causing the two people who were wary of the road ahead to turn their heads back.

The next moment, a shadow filled the entire back road in the darkness came into the eyes of the two of them.

Suddenly seeing this situation, Qin Zhe's only feeling was that his scalp was numb.

He couldn't see exactly what the overwhelming shadows looked like in the dark, but he could confirm that the shadows were a kind of black beetle.

Countless black beetles!

Dongfang Xu's pretty face turned pale on the spot when she saw the black beetles that almost filled the entire back road.

Qin Zhe caught a glimpse of her expression, pulled her back a step, and asked in a low voice.

"Are you purely afraid of bugs, or do you recognize this kind of bugs?"

Facing the question, Dongfang Xu was not vague and said quickly.

"I'm afraid of bugs! But at the same time, I recognize this kind of bug! This is a food bug that feeds on the source of all things!"

Feed on the origin of all things?

Qin Zhe was slightly taken aback, thinking that he knew this very well.

Just about to say something, Dongfang Xu said quickly again.

"I only saw this kind of insects in ancient books by chance, but I didn't expect to see them in the Kunlun forbidden area. Food source insects have the property of immortality, and there is no way to kill them except hunger. Don't make any contact with them. The carapace has the ability to directly absorb the source. In addition, according to ancient records, their mouthparts are quite deadly, and they can even bite off ancient artifacts!"

When Dongfang Xu said this, Qin Zhe just wanted to punch him to open a passage.

Isn't it just a bunch of bugs, what's so scary?

He feeds on the origin of all things, isn't he the same?

But after hearing what Dongfang Xu said, he gave up.

Undead feature!

The carapace directly sucks the source!

The mouthparts gnaw off the ancient artifact!

This is playing snakeskin?
