Chapter 310 Planet Worm
After dealing with the monster, Duan Ming headed further along the water where the monster lived.
Although they encountered some monster attacks along the way, these monsters were obviously not as strong as the previous lord.
In addition, Duan Ming also found that these monsters were acting in a panic. It was obvious that something had happened that made them panic.
Think back to the scene where the little monsters were running around when the lord monster was killed.
Duan Ming also understood and said helplessly: "No wonder these monsters are so weak, they turned out to be the remnants of the defeated army before.
But after walking this far, you can still encounter these little monsters. It seems that the territory of the previous monster is not small. "
After discovering that the monsters running around were all miscellaneous soldiers, Duan Ming was too lazy to tangle with them.
Anyone who blocks the way will be killed with one blow, while those pursuing behind will be ignored.
With his super combat power and speed far superior to these soldiers, Duan Ming quickly got rid of the pursuit of those monsters.
After walking for a while, Duan Ming found that the surrounding environment had gradually changed, from the original waters to a desert.
At this time, the sky was gradually getting darker. Without determining what the planet was like at night, Duan Ming decided to find a place to rest for the time being.
After looking around, a shadow on a hill in the distance caught Duan Ming's attention.
Duan Ming carefully went over and took a look and found that it turned out to be a cave diagonally downwards.
The rocks surrounding the cave are heavily weathered, and it's obvious that the cave is old. Looking inside the cave again, Duan Ming found that his mental power could not reach the bottom at all.
"The hole is so deep."
After being slightly surprised, Duan Ming used the portable detector on his arm again. As a sound wave rippled, the detector on Duan Ming's arm projected a topographic map about 200 meters underground.
Looking at the 3D projected terrain map, Duan Ming's face gradually became ugly.
I saw that the cube-like 3D underground projection was actually full of holes 50 meters below the ground.
Apparently, these holes were dug by an unknown creature that lived underground.
Looking at the hole that extends to the bottom of the map and even downwards, Duan Ming feels more and more that the unknown creatures underground here are not simple.
"It seems that this is not a good place to stay." Duan Ming smiled helplessly, put away the projected map, and quickly left the hill.
Although Duan Ming is also a little curious about what kind of creature can drill so many holes in the ground. But considering safety issues, Duan Ming retreated without hesitation just to be on the safe side.
On the one hand, the enemy is unknown and the potential danger is huge; on the other hand, the detection range of Duan Ming's detector is limited, and 200 meters underground is already the limit.
While moving quickly, Duan Ming looked back at the hill with holes.
And silently wrote down in his mind: "When you become stronger and the strength of your tribe improves, you must come and explore it carefully. Maybe there is another cherished alien species underground?"
Thinking like this, Duan Ming was already hundreds of meters away from the hill.
However, just when Duan Ming was thinking about coming over to explore underground creatures in the future. The monster hidden a hundred meters deep in the ground also rushed towards the ground.
Duan Ming, who was moving quickly, didn't notice anything strange at first, and was a little lucky that the monster underground didn't notice him.
But then the ground trembled, and the soil under Duan Ming's feet suddenly cracked, and a huge figure sprang out from the ground and rushed toward Duan.
Although Duan Ming was somewhat unprepared for the sudden attack, his strong strength allowed him to dodge this fatal attack at the critical moment.
The moment the ground cracked, Duan Ming's powerful reflex nerves came into play.
Duan Ming, who was running forward, suddenly braked and stopped. At the same time, Duan Ming stepped on the flying rocks and quickly moved backward with a strong force.
Immediately, a loud bang was heard, and the stone hit the figure protruding from the ground, causing a burst of smoke and dust.
At this time, Duan Ming, who had used his strength to retreat to a distance, stared closely at the smoke, as if he wanted to see through the smoke and see the figure under the smoke.
Before Duan Ming could see the figure clearly in the smoke, a crunching sound, like chewing ice cubes, came from it.
Before Duan Ming could figure out what the sound was about, the huge figure in the smoke gave Duan Ming the answer.
I saw a huge worm-like monster poking its head out from the ground. In a huge mouth full of fangs, it was chewing the rocks that Duan Ming had kicked over before.
A crunching sound came from the mouth of the worm monster. The giant mouth was like a stone crusher, easily crushing the rocks and swallowing them into its belly.
After seeing the true appearance of this monster, Duan Ming's expression became even more grim.
The monster in front of him was no stranger to Duan Ming. It could even be said to be a very familiar creature.
This worm-like creature is called a planet worm.
What it does best is use its strong head to drill holes in the ground, and use its teeth that can crush almost any mineral to crush it and then swallow it.
Of course, if the planet worm was just like this, it wouldn't make Duan Ming look so ugly.
Planet worms are called planet worms because they can grow to the point where they can hollow out a planet.
This monster's appetite is almost unlimited. In the absence of natural enemies, they can easily hollow out a planet.
Until there is nothing left to eat on this planet, the planet worm will leave this planet and go to the next planet.
Due to the lack of mass, the hollowed-out planet will directly collapse due to the imbalance of volume and mass, and eventually turn into rubble in the universe.
Planet worms are parasites of the planet, the kind that don't care whether the host lives or lives.
Therefore, when a colony base discovers that there are planet worms on a planet, it will first deal with the planet worms and then start colonizing the planet.
But sometimes the colony base will encounter situations where the planet worms develop too powerfully and finally have to give up colonizing the planet.
In this way, for the colonial base that worked so hard to colonize, it can be said that it is a loss to grandma's family.
After all, not only were their trips in vain. According to the interstellar colonization agreement, it is mandatory to eliminate existing planet worms and their parasitic planets to prevent these pests from harming other planets.
Looking at the planet worm in front of him, Duan Ming briefly estimated its growth.
After discovering that the opponent was only AA-level, Duan Ming breathed a sigh of relief. The planet worm in front of him was obviously still in its infancy. Not particularly difficult to deal with.
But Duan Ming soon felt a headache, because there were often not even one of these planet worms, and according to the agreement, he was obliged to eliminate them all.
Thinking about the size of this planet, Duan Ming sighed helplessly and said: "Forget it, let's eliminate the one in front of us first."
