Chapter 70 It Is Not Advisable to Stay Here for Long
Strange insects kept coming out of the vortex hole, but most of them died in the high temperature of the vortex. Only a few insects with special physiques came out. Although they were very few, they were also powerful insects that stood out from the huge number.
Elias was about to attack the spaceship, but he noticed the terrified expressions of Li Ming and Zenia in the cabin.
Taking advantage of this, Elias snorted coldly and shouted angrily: "If you are afraid of my methods, open the hatch quickly, so as not to damage the spaceship later, and no one can leave!"
As Elias said this, he didn't know that the flying insects had already swooped towards him.
These flying insects that flew out of the vortex were very different from the ones Li Ming encountered inside. Not only were they huge in size, but their colors had also changed dramatically. Although they were colorful before, the colors were relatively dim, giving people a feeling of aging, just like the leaves that were about to fall off the trees in autumn, but the flying insects that flew out now were bright in color, bright and beautiful in appearance, full of vitality and firepower, like a strong man in his prime, with a strong body and full of energy. Just one sense could detect the big difference.
The most important thing is that the surface of the exoskeleton of these flying insects still emits a dark light, which seems to be extremely hard, like some kind of beetle.
The appearance of this scene made Li Ming and Zenia open their eyes and mouths, and they didn't take Elias seriously.
Li Ming didn't dare to hesitate any more, turned around and started operating in the cockpit, just hoping that the spacecraft would leave here quickly.
Elias saw that Li Ming and Zenia didn't take him seriously at all, and his face changed. After a cold snort, he raised his right hand and took out the green metal rod. Just when he was about to do something, he suddenly noticed something strange behind him, as if something was approaching him.
"Huh?!"
Elias turned slightly and glanced behind him with an angry expression, but his eyes just looked and his whole face froze.
Countless huge flying insects were flying towards him, and the nearest one was only a dozen meters away. These flying insects were strange and huge, and the largest one was even more than ten meters long. Each one looked hideous and fierce, and people couldn't help but tremble and feel terrified at a glance.
Despite this, giant strange insects continued to crawl out of the whirlpool mouth on the top of the mountain, and some of them were even the same size as the whirlpool mouth.
But the high temperature of the vortex seemed to be unable to do anything to this strange insect. The surface of the giant strange insect's body had been ignited by the high temperature. It struggled to crawl out with a blazing flame. As soon as it came out, the strange insect locked its big eyes on the spaceship and Elias in the air, and flapped its wings and pounced directly.
"What... what is this?!"
Elias opened his mouth wide, and kept whispering: "No, no, no... don't come over!"
Before the sound was completely uttered, the figures of more than a dozen flying insects had swallowed it. Li Ming, who was in the spaceship, also turned pale. At this time, Elias's figure had completely disappeared, and screams continued to come from the insect swarm.
Some of these strange insects have sharp claws, some show a mouthful of fangs, and some even spray green liquid. In addition to sharing Elias, these strange insects will bite each other, without any consciousness at all, just like a bunch of monsters cannibalizing each other.
Seeing this brutal scene, Li Ming remembered a cognition, [Uncivilized Creatures].
But at this moment, some strange insects that had just flown over also noticed the existence of Li Ming's spaceship, and flapped their wings and flew over directly.
However, Li Ming's spaceship had already started, and the time on the operating screen had begun to count down, 10, 9, 8...
Looking at the countdown, Li Ming's heartbeat had accelerated, and even two drops of sweat had flowed out of his forehead. He was even more nervous and muttered: "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up..."
Li Ming looked at the changes in the numbers in a panic, and at the same time, his eyes kept looking at the flying insects outside. Two of them were already close at hand, and they were about to fall on the spaceship. At this time, Li Ming even held his breath...
3, 2, 1...
When the countdown ended, the huge mouth of the strange insect was also opened, and the sharp and dense teeth were accompanied by sticky liquid, as if he was about to be swallowed by it.
But at this moment, the spaceship suddenly trembled, and with a "bang", it disappeared on the spot. As soon as the spaceship disappeared, the big mouths of the two flying insects bit over, but they just missed.
The two flying insects missed their attacks, and after looking at each other, they actually bit each other.
However, Li Ming did not know that the blood-red pit at the depths of the vortex had completely collapsed, forming a deep well hole. The red liquid had disappeared, replaced by groups of red gas, floating out of the hole like blood mist.
Along with the blood mist, huge insects were constantly crawling out of it, densely packed, countless, countless, of different sizes and shapes, pouring out like a flood.
The entire underground deep hole was like hell, with all kinds of weird insect chirps, calls, and roars coming out continuously...
At the same time, in a circular building in the Ulysses Mine...
The cross star light flashed, and the dazzling light filled the entire space. After the light, a huge object had appeared. It was the prison ship and the cockpit that returned to the launch pad. Li Ming only felt a buzzing in his head. He looked around and confirmed that he was back before he breathed a sigh of relief.
Zenia also breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li Ming.
Looking back on that scene, this was also the most terrifying scene Li Ming had encountered since he left the earth. Fortunately, he was not in danger.
After leaving the cockpit, Li Ming and Zenia returned to the second floor of the central circular building. Once again setting foot in this familiar place, Li Ming felt an unprecedented sense of security. His emotions slowly calmed down, and his demeanor gradually returned to its original state.
Not only Li Ming, but also Zenia was breathing heavily. It was obvious that she had been frightened by Xiao Yanxing's strange insect just now.
Li Ming paced back and forth easily on the second floor, his eyes turning slightly as he looked at a certain blue portal, his brows twitching slightly. Among the many small leaf-like portals, this enlarged portal was particularly conspicuous. Li Ming thought for a moment and then remembered that this portal was the portal through which Elias entered this place, and it was also the portal leading to the outside of the mine.
Staring at the portal, Li Ming couldn't help but touch his chin, looking like he was thinking about something else.
"This Elias is probably going to die on Little Flame Star, so those things in his spaceship..."
Li Ming said secretly, while showing a weird smile. Although he only saw some scrap metal when he went to Elias last time, Li Ming believed that Elias would not only have those things.
Thinking like this, Li Ming already had some idea, his eyes fixed on the portal without moving.
Just as Li Ming was thinking about this, the light beam in the middle of the second floor suddenly flashed. Sensing this situation, his thoughts were instantly interrupted. Li Ming turned his head and looked over.
He walked over quickly, put his right hand into the light beam, and immediately noticed something. He turned his head, looked at Zenia, and said, "Find a place to hide first."
Zenia turned around and ran away quickly.
Li Ming used his fingers to draw something on the surface of the light beam. As soon as he finished the operation, a figure suddenly appeared in the light beam, it was Rom.
After walking out of the light beam, Rom's face was a little ugly, but after seeing Li Ming, he relaxed a lot. He smiled slightly and said, "Why is your portal closed? I thought something happened to you..."
"I was just concentrating on developing a new portal, so I forgot to open it..."
Li Ming explained quickly.
Rom nodded slightly, walked a few steps in, then stopped, turned around and looked at Li Ming, and said with some seriousness: "I came to you mainly because I want to inform you of something..."
"In a few days, our knight commander from Lagrasen and the mentor from Enke Anya will come here. Wilma's matter must no longer be hidden. I have submitted a report Gave it to the knight captain, so nothing major will happen to you when they come this time, but..."
Rom suddenly paused at this, looked at Li Ming with his eyes, and then continued: "It's just that you, the warden, may be taken over by Enke Anya again, but don't worry, even if you don't become the warden, you can still You can come to my side and be a soldier captain, and take charge of the mining area with Wadi..."
Li Ming was not surprised when he heard this. According to the information obtained from Wadi's brain, these things would happen sooner or later. At the moment, he just nodded slowly and said nothing.
Rom sighed slightly, came to Li Ming, and said: "To be honest, with your ability, even if you reach the position of a soldier commander on our Lagrasen planet, you will not be able to You are as free as you are now, because the senior management there will keep you busy synthesizing stars all the time in order to get more stars. You definitely don’t want to live like that..."
Li Ming paused for a moment, and the meaning of the other party's words was naturally very clear, but Li Ming remained silent and listened to what the other party said, but some of the thoughts in the other party's mind had been seen through by Li Ming.
Rom continued: "Although you are a little wronged in this mine, at least you are free. Apart from me, you can be said to be the most admired person here in Ulysses, so what I mean ...You should understand."
Li Ming nodded repeatedly, smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, Lord Roma, I won't leave no matter how many benefits others give me. If it weren't for your appreciation, Lord Roma, I might still be in the mine now." Mining."
"Hahaha……"
Rom laughed several times after hearing this, patted Li Ming's arm, nodded slightly, and said: "Well, very good, from today on you will be the soldier commander of our mine. I will treat you as a soldier." Let me tell all the soldiers, well...you can continue your work and you will come to work at my place in a few days."
"Yes, Lord Rom."
Li Ming replied respectfully, and Roma looked satisfied. He turned and left without saying anything more.
Watching the other party's figure disappear into the beam of light, Li Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was thinking about something in his heart...
This Roma naturally wants to keep Li Ming by his side forever so that he can work for him. The method of synthesizing Xinggui is what the other party values most, but when can Li Ming advance in a place like this? Xing Yu is there, Xing Gui is there, but Xing Yan has not yet been obtained. Wilma has been struggling here for many years but still cannot find Xing Yan. Little Yan Xing's trip was in vain, so leaving this place has become particularly important.
But when it came to leaving Mars, Li Ming had to make careful plans. Not to mention Xingyan, Li Ming couldn't just be inferior to others forever.
With this thought, Li Ming had already arrived at a blue doorway and was about to enter it when he suddenly paused and turned his head to look somewhere.
I saw Zenia holding the corner of a table with both hands, revealing a head, her big eyes blinking constantly, and looking at Li Ming.
Looking at the little guy's blinking eyes, Li Ming shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Come on, come with me."
Zenia smiled happily upon hearing this and ran to Li Ming happily. Li Ming also smiled knowingly when he saw the cute look of the little guy, and then entered the blue light doorway.
Entering from this portal, when you come out, you are already in a desert, which is far away from the Ulysses Mine.
As soon as you walk out, Li Ming's eyes are fixed in a certain direction and walk quickly into the distance.
One tall and one short, two figures walked quickly on the sand and stone, and soon came to the vicinity of a mountain, which is where Elias lives. With the experience of coming here last time, Li Ming is not only familiar with the route, but also knows the two defensive barriers at the door.
When he was still more than ten meters away from the cave entrance, Li Ming stopped, looked around, looked down at Zenia beside him, and said, "Wait here."
After that, Li Ming turned and walked to the right. Li Ming could sense the barrier at the cave entrance. He didn't know what kind of barrier it was, so he couldn't force his way in. With his wisdom eye ability, Li Ming had already noticed the device that released the barrier.
After circling the empty area in front of him and coming to the edge of the mountain, Li Ming aimed at a certain place, raised his right hand and stretched it over, placed his entire palm parallel to the rock wall, and then slowly closed his eyes.
A certain device in the wall could already clearly sense it. At a very close distance, Li Ming's consciousness was like a light extending along his arm into the wall, until it stopped in the device.
The light formed by consciousness shuttled back and forth in the device, like a flowing key, shutting down various open systems in the device. The originally bright light spots in the device dimmed directly under this consciousness light.
After a few seconds, Li Ming regained consciousness, smiled, glanced at Zenia in the distance, and said, "Come here, Zenia."
