Chapter 207: Brother Jie's Defeat
The low hissing of the queen insect, the muffled sound of magma exploding, and the gurgling sound of melting stone walls overlapped together, making the cave extremely messy.
In the chaos, a white-haired figure holding a fine steel kitchen knife was moving nimbly between the cracks in the lava, occasionally slashing at the huge body of the queen insect.
Each of Ji's strikes accurately targeted the weak spots in the mother insect's Originium shell, and every strike drew blood.
On the other side, Qi Yan and others were running for their lives, looking extremely miserable under the rain of magma splashed by the queen insect.
Only Ceylon supported the water curtain and continuously released Originium skills to help Ji lower his body temperature, which was quite useful.
However, Ceylon's breathing became noticeably rapid, and it seemed that his strength was about to run out.
Qi Yan and others' eyelids twitched when they saw this.
As the queen insect appeared, the temperature in the cave was no less than the barbecue ovens in the city of Xiosta. Once Ceylon's water curtain was broken, every one of them would become nine-tenths-well-done kebabs.
"Hold on, Miss. I'm counting on you to protect my beautiful white fur!"
While Qi Yan was fleeing, he did not forget to loudly encourage Ceylon.
The doctor and others also quickly provided support:
"Our lives depend on you!"
"I...I'll try my best!"
Sweat began to appear on Ceylon's forehead, and the water curtain he maintained was obviously becoming weaker.
Ding--
A crisp sound echoed in everyone's ears.
The figure of Ji paused, and in a few seconds he fled from the queen insect back to the crowd, with a bit of embarrassment on his ferocious face:
"Boss, the knife is broken."
In his hand, the half-broken kitchen knife was slightly red.
If it weren't for Ceylon's Originium technique wrapping his palm, he would have been burned.
Everyone was a little dumbfounded.
The weapon of the only output force in the team couldn't withstand the high temperature. Now a group of people with bare hands didn't even have the ability to resist.
You can't just swing your fists to hit the queen insect that's covered in lava, right?
A huge ball of magma fell from the sky.
Everyone didn't have time to be stunned and quickly fled in all directions again.
Ji threw the half-broken kitchen knife in his hand at the queen insect, dealing the final bit of damage, then turned around and looked for his boss.
"Ok?"
Ji looked at Qi Yan who had already escaped more than ten meters, and his expression suddenly froze.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Mostima and the Doctor decisively caught up with Qi Yan, and the three of them ran for their lives.
Ceylon was the only one left at the scene who had not yet reacted. He was struggling to hold up the water curtain, and did not notice that his teammates had already started to flee.
"Brother Jie, why are you still standing there like an idiot? We'll be really good soon!"
Qi Yan still had a conscience, and while running away he did not forget to turn back and remind loudly.
Fiammetta rushed over, picked up Ceylon and ran away.
Ji felt a burning pain from behind him. The queen insect's rage took shape and she charged at him with a roar.
"Boss, you have to pay extra if you play like this!"
Facing the approaching queen, Ji's mind was still full of his own salary. He dodged the lava eruption and quickly caught up with the crowd.
A group of people were running for their lives in the front, and the queen insect behind them was obviously filled with hatred and was chasing them relentlessly.
Mostima supported himself with one hand on the half-man-high stone in front of him, turned over and jumped over the obstacle, and then shook his hands wildly because of the burns.
She turned her head to look at Qi Yan and cried:
"You said you would take me to catch Originium Bugs, why did we end up being caught by Originium Bugs instead?"
"Who would have thought that Brother Jie's kitchen knife would break!" Qi Yan said madly, "Brother Jie, I'm sure you bought this knife from a certain Xiaoquan. I must give you a bad review when I get back!"
"As expected of the boss, you can even guess this."
Jie caught up with the others slowly and fell to the back of the team, with a sad expression on his face: "I didn't bring my own set of knives, so I bought new ones in Xiosta, which cost a lot of money.
Can this money be reimbursed, boss?"
Qi Yan said without even turning his head: "Go find the doctor."
The doctor thought for a moment while running, and said calmly:
"If we go to the store in this situation, they will definitely say that kitchen knives cannot be used to handle live ingredients, so we have to find another way.
For example, we can just rush into the business headquarters, press the boss down on the table, and chop him with his kitchen knife to see if he panics. If he panics, it means he is lying. If he doesn’t panic, we won’t lose anything.”
"Can you please just ignore the kitchen knife merchants at this time?" Fiammetta said a little madly.
Everyone turned to look at Fiammetta, and in unison, they spread their hands and said:
"So what do you think we should do now?"
"Find a way to kill this Originium Bug!" Fiammetta said angrily, "Qi Yan, just pounce on it and eat it. You said you didn't bring any Originium with you, but isn't its body full of Originium?"
"Eat it raw? Don't you even give me some mustard to sprinkle on it?"
Qi Yan lowered his head and dodged a ball of flying lava, his face full of disgust.
Mastema frowned and thought hard for a long time before offering his own suggestion:
“These infected creatures are clearly divided into different levels, so as long as we find a creature with a higher status than it, we can subdue it.
Logically speaking, if there is a female worm, there should be a male worm. Why don't we turn back and go deep into the volcano to find its husband?"
"And then it and its husband cooperated to sandwich us from two sides and roasted us from 90% done to completely burnt?" The doctor questioned immediately.
Ceylon lay in Fiammetta's arms, looking anxious:
"Although it is a female insect, the volcanic source stone insects are not a one-male-one-female system, but a queen system. There is only one female insect in a territory. It is the highest-ranking creature in this volcano!"
"Oh no, there's no hope. Just wait for death." Mostima gave up on the spot.
At this moment, Qi Yan suddenly braked, clenched his right fist and pounded it heavily on his palm, saying in surprise:
"Although we don't have any male bugs here, we do have a male wolf!"
"Are you talking about yourself?" Mastema took a breath, "People can't, at least they shouldn't."
Qi Yan rolled his eyes, not wanting to pay attention to Mostima's teasing, and turned his head and shouted to the air:
"Dabai, come out to work!"
Inside the cave, there was total silence, with only the roar of the angry queen insect approaching from behind.
Everyone looked at Qi Yan as if he was an idiot, talking to the air.
Ji scratched his hair which was curled by the heat and said with some worry:
"The boss is so stupid, he won't forget to pay me, right?"
Fiammetta stopped, carried Ceylan on his shoulder, rushed forward and was ready to carry the crazy Qi Yan on his other shoulder.
Only the Doctor touched his chin thoughtfully and said:
"So your ancestor's name is Dabai. What a common name. It makes me want to make a 'slurp slurp' sound."
Qi Yan ignored the doctor's ridicule, dodged Fiammetta's hand, and kept shouting at the air:
"Can you do it, you little dog? You're too lazy to even use the strength to blow a breath, lazy dog. Weren't you happy to come out and chew on the natural disaster last time, greedy dog!"
Everyone's expressions became increasingly strange.
Mostima didn't doubt that Qi Yan was really calling for help, but he couldn't help but move closer to the doctor and asked in a low voice:
"Does Qi Yan usually beg people like this?"
"There's nothing we can do. When a lunatic meets a god, both of their brain circuits are not normal." The doctor commented sharply.
The roar of the queen insect was still approaching, and its huge body quickly enlarged in the eyes of everyone.
The scorching air waves distorted the air and surged forward.
Seeing that the heat wave was about to engulf everyone, Ceylon gritted his teeth and opened his small umbrella, trying to resist it.
At the critical moment, a cold wind appeared out of nowhere in the cave.
The whistling sound of the cold wind was like a helpless sigh.
In an instant, the sky and the earth were dyed with a touch of blue and white in everyone's sight. The dim caves became brighter. Frost spread, engulfing the black stone walls, condensing the hot magma, and turning the volcano into a world of ice and snow.
