Traveler Zerg World
Chapter 481 The Mutation of Caves on the Plateau 13
Lin Zhi, Yan Jun, and Zhang Ying have already faced countless challenges in the Zerg world, but they know that even greater trials lie ahead. One day, they hear of an extremely terrifying demonic beast appearing on a remote plateau, wreaking havoc on the local Zerg tribe. The three decide to investigate, embarking on this unknown journey with a mix of tension and anticipation.
Along the way, the desolate scenery constantly assaulted their senses. Huge, grotesque rocks stood abruptly, and eerie dark clouds rolled across the sky from time to time, emitting chilling sounds. "This place looks sinister; that demonic beast is definitely not something easy to deal with," Yan Jun said, frowning. Lin Zhi gripped her weapon tightly, her gaze resolute: "No matter what, now that we're here, we need to figure out the situation and see if we can help." Zhang Ying silently observed the surroundings without speaking, but a hint of vigilance flashed in her eyes.
Finally, they arrived at the plateau. The sight before them made them gasp. A large group of ferocious demonic beasts were engaged in fierce combat with the warriors of the insectoid tribe. The demonic beasts were enormous, more than two people tall, covered in hard scales. On their triangular heads, a pair of blood-red eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light, and their mouths were filled with sharp fangs, emitting chilling roars. Although the insectoid warriors were brave, they were gradually being overwhelmed by the demonic beasts' relentless attacks.
"No, our Zerg brothers will be in danger if this continues!" Lin Zhi shouted, immediately rushing forward. Yan Jun and Zhang Ying exchanged a glance and followed without hesitation. Lin Zhi wielded his longsword, accurately stabbing at the eye of a demon beast. The demon beast, in pain, turned and angrily pounced on Lin Zhi. Lin Zhi nimbly dodged, while simultaneously looking for an opportunity to counterattack. Yan Jun picked up a thick wooden stick and slammed it hard into the leg of another demon beast, trying to trip it. Zhang Ying used her supernatural ability to release waves of energy, repelling the approaching demon beasts.
With the addition of these three, the tide of battle gradually turned. Seeing reinforcements arrive, the Zerg warriors' morale soared, and they launched even fiercer attacks. However, the number of Demon Beasts was simply too great; they seemed endless. The battle entered a fierce, white-hot phase, with both sides fighting with all their might.
Suddenly, an exceptionally large demonic beast appeared, emanating an even more powerful aura. "This must be the leader of the demonic beasts!" Yan Jun shouted. Lin Zhi's eyes sharpened: "We must deal with it first!" The three coordinated perfectly, charging towards the demonic beast leader. The demonic beast leader sensed their intentions, opening its blood-red maw and spewing forth a torrent of scorching flames. Lin Zhi quickly dodged to the side, the flames grazing his body and scorching the surrounding ground. Yan Jun seized the opportunity to attack from the side, his wooden stick striking the demonic beast leader hard, leaving only a shallow mark. Zhang Ying, meanwhile, concentrated all his energy, unleashing a powerful beam of light towards the demonic beast leader. The beam struck its body, and the demonic beast leader roared, its scales beginning to shimmer with an eerie light.
"Oh no, it's about to launch an even stronger attack!" Lin Zhi shouted. Just then, the space around the demon beast leader suddenly distorted, forming a massive energy vortex. Black mist continuously poured out of the vortex, corroding everything in its path. The Zerg warriors scrambled to avoid it, but many were still enveloped by the mist and vanished instantly. Lin Zhi, Yan Jun, and Zhang Ying were also caught in the vortex, clinging tightly to each other, trying to steady themselves amidst the chaotic energy.
After an unknown amount of time, the vortex finally subsided. The three found themselves in a huge cave. A pungent odor filled the cave, and strange lights flickered on the walls. "Where is this? How did we get here?" Zhang Ying asked, puzzled. Lin Zhi carefully observed their surroundings: "This place looks eerie; it seems like something is affecting us." Yan Jun cautiously looked around: "Let's find an exit first; the battle outside might still be ongoing."
Just as they were searching for an exit, the cave floor suddenly began to shake violently. Then, a group of strangely shaped creatures emerged from the ground. These creatures were small but agile, covered in green slime, and their eyes glowed with an eerie green light. "What kind of monsters are these?" Yan Jun exclaimed in surprise. Lin Zhi gripped his weapon tightly: "Whatever they are, let's deal with them first!"
The three engaged the monsters in battle. Though small in size, these monsters were incredibly agile. They leaped about, clawing at the three with their sharp claws. Lin Zhi wielded his longsword, attempting to slash at the approaching monsters, but they always skillfully evaded him. Yan Jun swept his wooden stick, trying to repel a group of monsters, but the effect was less than ideal, and he already had several scratches on his body. Zhang Ying's supernatural abilities were also limited in the narrow cave; her energy waves could only hit a few monsters.
During the battle, strange symbols suddenly appeared on the cave walls. These symbols flickered with a faint light, as if speaking of some mysterious power. "Look at those symbols, they seem to have some meaning," Lin Zhi shouted. Yan Jun replied while fighting, "We don't have time to worry about that now, let's deal with these monsters first!" However, as the battle went on, the three gradually discovered that these monsters seemed endless, and their attacks were becoming increasingly fierce.
Just as the three were feeling despair, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the cave's ceiling. A beam of intense light shone in, illuminating the entire cave. In the light, a figure slowly emerged. It was Wang Jun, one of the Zerg brothers. Seeing the three, Wang Jun shouted, "Come quickly!" Lin Zhi, Yan Jun, and Zhang Ying ran towards Wang Jun without hesitation. Wang Jun held a weapon radiating powerful energy and unleashed a barrage of fire at the surrounding monsters. Under the attack of the intense light and the weapon, the monsters fell one after another.
"How did you get here?" Wang Jun asked, panting. Lin Zhi replied, "We were pulled in by the energy vortex of the Demon Beast leader. What exactly is going on here?" Wang Jun frowned and said, "This cave seems to be hiding some kind of mysterious power, and these monsters were also attracted by this power. Moreover, I found that the energy fluctuations here are very unstable, as if they could trigger an even greater disaster at any moment."
Just then, the strange symbols on the cave walls suddenly brightened, enveloping the entire cave in light. Within the light, a colossal figure appeared. The figure resembled an ancient insectoid warrior, yet possessed some unusual features. It slowly opened its eyes, its gaze sweeping over the group. "Who are you? Why have you intruded?" a deep voice echoed in their minds.
Lin Zhi mustered her courage and said, "We came here to fight the demonic beasts, but we were accidentally dragged into this place." The figure was silent for a moment, then said, "This is a mysterious forbidden area in the Zerg world, containing immense power. But if this power is misused, it will bring annihilation to the entire Zerg world. Since you have come, you have taken on a responsibility."
Everyone looked puzzled. Lin Zhi asked, "What can we do?" The figure replied, "You need to find a way to stabilize the energy fluctuations here and prevent the disaster from happening. And this requires your joint efforts and courage." After speaking, the figure gradually disappeared, and the light gradually dimmed.
Wang Jun looked at Lin Zhi and the others: "It seems we'll have to explore this place thoroughly." Yan Jun nodded: "Let's give it a try anyway." So, they began searching the cave for a way to stabilize the energy fluctuations. During their exploration, they discovered some ancient stone tablets, inscribed with the history of the insectoid race and some mysterious runes.
Lin Zhi carefully studied the runes on the stone tablet, trying to find clues. After some effort, he finally discovered some patterns. "Look," Lin Zhi said excitedly, "these runes seem to be guiding us to activate several key nodes in the cave." Following Lin Zhi's instructions, the group began searching for those key nodes in the cave.
After some effort, they finally found all the key nodes. Lin Zhi took a deep breath and said, "I'll count to three, and then we'll activate these nodes together." "One, two, three!" With Lin Zhi's shout, the three of them activated the nodes simultaneously. Instantly, a powerful energy erupted from the cave, and the energy fluctuations gradually stabilized.
Just then, cheers erupted outside the cave. The three emerged and found the demonic beast had been defeated, and the Zerg warriors were celebrating their victory. The Zerg siblings Li Yi, Li Ming, Li Hua, and Li Li, along with Hua Yuan, Zhang Yuan, and others, rushed over. "Are you alright? We were so worried!" Li Yi asked. Lin Zhi replied with a smile, "We're fine! We successfully stopped the disaster in the cave, and the demonic beast was defeated. We won this battle!" The crowd cheered, their faces beaming with the joy of victory.
He struggled to climb the steep mountainside. The thin air of the plateau made each breath feel like it was draining his life force. Behind him, Yan Jun followed closely, his eyes revealing a hint of determination and resolve.
"Linzhi, are you sure this road leads to a safe place?" Yan Jun asked loudly, his voice sounding weak in the howling wind.
Lin Zhi looked back and shouted, "Now we have no choice but to try anything! The Zerg are closing in, we can't let them catch us again!"
The two climbed further and finally reached a relatively flat highland. Here, jagged rocks stood amidst a desolate landscape. Suddenly, a deep roar came from afar, as if the earth itself trembled.
"Oh no, it's a demon beast!" Lin Zhi's expression changed, and she hurriedly searched for a hiding place.
They hid behind a huge rock, cautiously peeking out. A gigantic demonic beast was slowly approaching, its body covered in black scales and radiating a chilling aura. Its eyes flashed with an eerie red light, and it continuously spewed scorching flames from its mouth.
"How did this demon beast end up here?" Yan Jun asked in a low voice, his voice full of doubt.
Lin Zhi shook his head and said, "I don't know, but we must find a way to get rid of it now."
Just then, the demon beast seemed to sense their presence, abruptly turning its head and roaring in the direction where they were hiding. Then, it accelerated and charged forward, its massive claws carving deep furrows in the ground.
"Quick, run to that cave over there!" Lin Zhi shouted, pulling Yan Jun along as they ran towards a cave not far away.
The demonic beast pursued relentlessly, its speed astounding, quickly closing the distance between itself and Linzhi and the others. Just as it was about to catch up, Linzhi rushed into the cave. Yan Jun followed closely behind. As soon as they entered the cave, they forcefully pushed a huge rock to the entrance, attempting to block the demonic beast.
The demonic beast arrived at the cave entrance and slammed its fist against the rock, producing a deafening sound. The rock shook violently under the demonic beast's immense force, but it had not yet been broken.
"This demon beast is too powerful, what should we do?" Yan Jun asked anxiously.
Lin Zhi looked around and found that the cave was fairly spacious inside, but some parts seemed to have been damaged. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said, "Perhaps we can use the cave's unique structure to deal with it."
The two began searching for usable items in the cave. Linzhi found some thick branches and vines in a corner, and he had a sudden inspiration. He said to Yan Jun, "Let's arrange these branches and vines; maybe we can set a trap for the demon beast."
So the two got to work. They crossed branches, secured them with vines, and set up a makeshift trap in the cave passage. After setting the trap, they hid to the side, quietly waiting for the demon beast's next move.
After a while, the demon beast seemed to realize that the rocks at the cave entrance were difficult to break open, and began looking for other ways to enter the cave. After circling the entrance a few times, it discovered a smaller opening on the side of the cave. The demon beast lowered its head, forcefully rammed into the small opening, quickly widening it, and then crawled inside.
