After a full forty minutes, the entire team finally ended their long and tense walk and finally reached the dark underground depths.
I don't know what's going on, but today the garbage dump used to store indigestible vomit is actually empty. Both the worms and the large pieces of vomit have disappeared without a trace. The surroundings are even more dead and quiet, which is uneasy.
Such a weird situation, not to mention other people who just saw the photos, even Allen himself had a puzzled expression on his face.
No hesitation!
He directly opened Hunter Tracking and began to detect the surrounding situation. After repeatedly confirming that there were no other living creatures except his own team, he raised his arm and made a safety gesture.
moment!
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily.
Especially the fifty-year-old biologist, who immediately asked in an impatient tone, "Where are the vomits that were originally placed here? Why have they disappeared?"
"Don't ask me, I don't know either. Maybe... all these changes are related to the rapid movement of this giant thing under our feet. Let's go, let's go to another cave ahead, where the answers we need may be hidden."
Having said that, Allen untied the rope tied around his waist and quickly found the place with a huge intestine-like organ through the marks deliberately left on the wall during the last exploration to prevent him from getting lost.
It's just that unlike last time, there are no longer a large number of red larvae here. There is only a muscle tissue with a diameter of more than fifty meters that is constantly opening and closing, opening and closing.
"This... is this?!!!!!!"
The biologist was immediately stunned by what he saw.
Not only him, but everyone in the team subconsciously widened their eyes and pointed their lights at the abyss-like mouth.
One guy even walked too close and almost fell when his muscles were enlarging.
Fortunately, he had a safety rope tied to his body and was eventually dragged up by several other people. He was only stained with some disgusting unknown mucus.
"Professor, it's up to you now." Allen said directly to the biologist.
"Of course! Leave it to us! But this may take a while. We need to use instruments to measure the depth and length of this organ first. In addition, sampling and cell analysis are also needed to finally get a relatively accurate answer."
As the fifty-year-old man spoke, he directed his assistants to take out a large number of lighting equipment, illuminating the entire area around the giant mouth like daylight.
Moreover, a simple test bench was set up in a relatively flat area.
Thanks to Allen using "Magical Wrapping Cloth" to carry a lot of extra equipment, otherwise I would have to go back to Airship several times.
As for others, some used their abilities to help biologists measure the length and depth of this strange organ, and others tried to figure out where the other end of this thick and long intestine-like organ leads to.
Just when everyone was busy and nervous, the ground suddenly shook slightly.
This change immediately caused everyone to subconsciously stop what they were doing and turn their attention to the surrounding tunnels.
"Continue! No matter what happens, don't stop! I will ensure your safety!" Allen promised with a serious expression.
To be precise, he has discovered through Hunter Tracking that countless red dots symbolizing red worms are rushing towards this place.
"Are... are those bugs coming?" the old professor asked in a slightly trembling voice.
"Yes! Here they come! And there are a lot of them! I now have enough reason to suspect that the thing controlling this island is intelligent and has set a trap for us." Allen replied without thinking.
As he spoke, he took out his bow and arrow and opened the widest sensing circle.
You don't need to ask to know that next, he will fight against these worms swarming like a tide in his strongest posture.
"Unbelievable! Unknown creatures with intelligence?"
After the strong shock, the old professor endured the fear in his heart and returned to the experimental table to continue his research.
At the same time, the hunters sent by Bodrō, Fei Jie and Hunter Association were all ready for battle.
In particular, several temporarily recruited mercenaries held strange-looking firearms in their hands, but without magazines or bullets. They looked like Nen user from Emission type.
In about three to five minutes, the first worm rushed out of the cave at seven o'clock.
It was not that big in size, only less than six meters long and three meters high. It was far from comparable to the ones we met on the island last time. The skin on its surface did not form a solid cuticle. Instead, it was red and white, like the skin of a newborn baby.
"Fire!"
The mercenary captain issued the attack order without hesitation.
moment!
The five soldiers released their breath instantly and injected it into the strange firearms in their hands at extremely fast speeds.
Da da da da da da!
In less than a second, a large amount of Nen bullet was sprayed from the muzzle and formed a dense network of firepower, quickly beating the insects to a bloody pulp. A large amount of minced meat scattered in the air, and they had already turned into corpses before they rushed into the cave.
But before they could take a breath, bugs from nine o'clock, twelve o'clock, two o'clock and four o'clock also rushed in.
Very similar to the first one, they are generally not too big in size, as if they were catalyzed not long ago, but the number is so dense that you can't see the end at a glance.
Seeing this scene, Allen immediately drew the bow string, and at the same time gave it the four abilities of penetration, High-Speed Rotation, Jet Acceleration, and Super Destruction Arrow, aiming at one of the passages and shooting a fatal arrow of death.
boom!
After a loud noise, all the insects in the entire passage exploded instantly, turning into a cloud of blood mist and minced meat.
Immediately afterwards, he turned around and called the other passages one by one. Every time he shot an arrow, he could instantly clear the entire passage.
Such an astonishing power, not to mention the biologists, even the mercenaries who licked blood from their swords and the hunters sent from the Hunter Association were stunned on the spot.
"Team... Captain! Is there something wrong with my eyes? Is that really the damage caused by the arrows, rather than some kind of special Super Weapon?" A mercenary asked stammering.
"There is nothing wrong with your eyes, because all of us have seen it. What a terrifying thought! If it appeared on the battlefield, it would be able to tear apart the strongest tank with one blow." The mercenary captain exclaimed.
As a mercenary who uses Nen abilities to fight, he has seen many Ability Users tremble with fear on the battlefield caused by large-caliber sniper rifles, artillery, mines, bombs, crossfire nets and other Modern Weaponss. However, this is the first time he has seen someone who can use cold weapons to exert power beyond the power of hot weapons.
Especially the horrific tearing caused by the arrow passing through the worm's body, as well as the splashing of blood and minced meat, are simply the ultimate in violent aesthetics.
Fei Jie was undoubtedly used to this kind of scene, and did not make a fuss like others. He remained calm and whispered to the martial artist beside him, "It seems there is no need for us to take action."
Bodrō smiled bitterly and nodded, "Yes! With the defense power of these worms, it is impossible to block the arrows shot by Allen. And I can feel that the power of those arrows has increased to a higher level."
"But the next step is the key! If the mysterious creature controlling this island is really smart enough, then it should change its strategy soon." Hisoka stared at the movements of the worms around him.
After all, being able to quickly learn from failures and make changes is the sign of a highly intelligent life.
