Chapter 107: The giant mutated tree maggot

This type of infrasonic weapon could be adjusted to a suitable frequency based on real-time monitoring data so that it could kill the target to the greatest extent.

Tang Zhen continued to move forward along the tunnel. The originally quiet and beautiful fluorescent tunnel suddenly became restless. Countless strange red insects suddenly appeared in the tunnel. Up, down, left, and right were these strange red insects that were constantly waving their limbs. They were stimulated to the point of constantly struggling madly, as if they wanted to escape. However, due to the insect eggs in their abdomens, they were firmly stuck in the holes and could not move.

The strange insects that had no choice but to run became even crazier. They were like the tentacles of a group of monsters, tangling with each other with all their might. At the same time, a large amount of yellow-green liquid sprayed out from their heads, filling the tunnel with this disgusting mucus.

The originally beautiful passage turned into a hellish scene in the blink of an eye.

Tang Zhen used the [ monster detector ] and locked onto a red, strange insect that was struggling non-stop. Soon, a message popped up.

[ offspring of the mutated tree maggot of the mother tree (mother worm), a level one monster, a hybrid offspring of monsters. It usually feeds on fluorescent grass powder. After mating, it will sleep in the hole for up to 100 years. Its eggs will hatch in the body of the creature, and it will die immediately after laying eggs. [ weakness: fear of the mother tree's SAP, death upon contact. ]

Tang Zhen looked at the information of the monster in front of him and roughly guessed the origin of this strange insect.

The giant remaining stump was originally called the mother tree. Before it was broken, there were no tree maggots. However, after the mother tree died, the trunk gradually dried up and petrified, and the SAP also evaporated. The tree maggots, which were afraid of the SAP, occupied the place and continued to multiply and grow by killing creatures that entered the place.

While Tang Zhen was thinking, these mutated tree maggots had already exhausted their last bit of strength. The impact of the infrasonic wave had damaged their fragile internal organs. At this moment, they were limply hanging on the tunnel, as if they would die at any moment.

After making sure that there were no mutated tree maggots in front of him, Tang Zhen carefully avoided the mucus on the ground and continued to explore forward. When he passed by a large pile of mucus, his mind moved slightly. He waved his hand and took out a container from the storage space, storing the extremely paralyzing mucus.

Tang Zhen walked and stopped along the way. As long as he found a hole near the fluorescent grass, he would not hesitate to use infrasonic waves to sweep it clean to ensure that he would not be sneak attacked by these mutated tree maggots.

Tang Zhen walked and stopped along the way. He did not know how long he had walked for. Finally, he found a large blank area on the map. When he took a closer look, he realized that he had unknowingly walked to the top of the tree stump.

Tang Zhen's spirit was shaken. He immediately ran toward the exit. In the blink of an eye, his vision suddenly brightened.

This was an extremely large field. The surroundings were filled with towering mother tree's damaged branches, which surrounded the area like mountain peaks. Only the middle was a wide open space. However, Tang Zhen's eyes slightly shrunk when he cast his gaze towards the center of the open space.

He saw four to five tree maggots that had been enlarged countless times were dancing in the middle of the open space. Each of them was four to five meters thick and dozens of meters long. They seemed to have sensed Tang Zhen's appearance as they waved their hands in his direction. Occasionally, sticky liquid would drip from their heads.

From time to time, tree maggots would spew out mucus from their mouths. Compared to the paralyzing ability of the descendants of tree maggots, the ancestors of these maggots were more terrifying, because the mucus they spewed out was highly corrosive, and could easily burn big holes in the ground.

Perhaps it was because of the eggs in their abdomens, but these maggots were also unable to leave the holes of their hosts. They could only wave their limbs in vain, looking extremely ferocious and terrifying.

Tang Zhen's eyes were fixed on these giant tree maggots. In a moment, the information of these giant tree maggots appeared in front of his eyes. [ mother tree mutated maggot (fused as one), level five monster. Outer skin is extremely flexible. Originally a mother tree's loose soil earthworm. After being infected by the monster, it mutated and fed on the mother tree's trunk. Its weakness is in the center of its abdomen. ]

It was obvious that the tunnels in the middle of the trunk were the work of these giant mutated tree maggots. For some unknown reason, their bodies had been fused together, turning them into a multi-headed monster!

It was just that this way, their combat strength had increased a bit, making them even more difficult to deal with.

Tang Zhen looked at the information of these mutated tree maggots and could not help but feel a headache. This was because these were the high-level monsters with the least threat he had seen so far. As long as one did not get close to their attack range, there would be no danger.

However, as long as he could kill this level five monster, he could easily advance to a level four cultivator. This kind of temptation was hard for Tang Zhen to give up.

Tang Zhen stared at the mutated tree maggot for a while and fiercely gritted his teeth.'Wealth comes from danger. I'll do it!'

Thinking of this, Tang Zhen immediately took out his rifle and aimed at the tree maggot. He began to fire a test shot. As the crisp sound of the gunshot rang out, the bullets continuously hit the huge body of the tree maggot, but they did not cause any damage to it.

However, the tree maggot was extremely furious by Tang Zhen's actions. It kept spitting corrosive liquid at him at a rapid speed. Tang Zhen quickly dodged when he saw this, so as to prevent this terrifying liquid from contaminating his body.

Seeing that the rifle's attack was ineffective, Tang Zhen took out the RPG, hoping that this 40mm caliber weapon with a 300 400mm depth of penetration could kill the mutated tree maggot.

BOOM!

The rocket shot toward the mutated tree maggot and landed on one of the parts of the maggot's body in the blink of an eye. The violent explosion echoed throughout the whole dead tree Pile Valley.

The hit mutated tree maggot couldn't make a sound, but its violent writhing indicated that the rocket had hurt it. A huge wound appeared on its body, and mucus was slowly flowing out, mixed with pieces of internal organs.

Tang Zhen's eyes were fixed on the injured mutated tree maggot as he carefully observed its wound. After a while, his expression became serious because he could clearly see that the wound was healing rapidly!

In fact, in just a few minutes, the wound caused by the rocket had completely healed.

The mutated tree maggot, whose wound had recovered, hated Tang Zhen to the core. It frantically spat corrosive liquid at him, as if it was determined to completely corrode him into a residue. Tang Zhen had no choice but to retreat into the passage to hide.

What kind of monster was this? how could he kill it? Tang Zhen looked at the mutated tree maggot that was almost unkillable and felt slightly troubled in his heart.

According to the [ monster detector ], the fatal spot of these mutated tree maggots was in the center of their abdomens. However, their abdomens were hidden in the holes where they were. If Tang Zhen wanted to attack, he had to find a way to get them out of the holes.

However, the reason why Tang Zhen was able to attack the mutated tree maggot so easily was because it was stuck in the hole and couldn't leave. Once the maggot regained its freedom, it would definitely chase after Tang Zhen crazily. Therefore, he must not let it leave through the hole.

Tang Zhen thought hard. In the face of such a difficult mutated tree maggot, his heart beat a retreat.

why don't we leave this place for the time being and come back to deal with it after we find a way to deal with these tree maggots? yes, that's it!

Zhen Tang was about to leave when the phone around his neck suddenly vibrated. He immediately stopped and turned to look at the mutated tree maggot.

Gently stroking his violently vibrating phone, Tang Zhen looked at the mutated tree maggot that was still dancing crazily and muttered to himself, to be able to make my phone vibrate so violently, it's obvious that there's a great treasure on this mutated tree maggot. In that case, I'm definitely going to kill this Level 5 monster!
