Chapter 782: Chapter 381 Unexpected Surprise (Five in One)_4
He immediately looked at the scanned area on the virtual screen, but did not see any red dots.
“No enemy attack?”
Su Ming looked at Little Grey in astonishment and asked.
Normally, if there was a real attack, Zhou Mu and the others who were on duty would issue a warning.
However, Little Grey kept nudging Su Ming and continuously chirped.
Su Ming furrowed his brows, clearly sensing something was off.
Little Grey flapped his wings and flew to the observation screen, persistently pointing with his claws.
Su Ming followed the direction Little Grey was pointing, activated the night vision function, and looked far ahead, but saw nothing except desolate land.
“I can’t see anything!”
Su Ming spoke puzzled.
In response, Little Grey raised his claws and pointed even more anxiously.
Su Ming tried asking.
“Do you want me to go over there?”
Little Grey nodded excitedly.
Su Ming’s expression shifted, and he opened the communication channel to speak.
“Zhou Mu.”
“What’s up, Su Ming? It’s not your shift yet.”
Zhou Mu said unexpectedly.
“I’m going out to explore for a bit, I’ll be back soon.”
Su Ming said to Zhou Mu.
“Alright, be careful!”
Zhou Mu was a bit surprised but did not ask further.
Su Ming then flew low towards the direction Little Grey pointed with the Slaughter Blade.
He kept leaving the survey area but still didn’t see anything.
However, Su Ming patiently continued to fly forward.
A few minutes later, a large Insect Cave came into view.
Little Grey became increasingly excited, continuously pointing with his fingers.
Su Ming looked at the Insect Cave and asked in confusion.
“What about that Insect Cave? I don’t see anything special?”
Little Grey kept chirping at Su Ming, his tiny claws moving as if gesturing something.
Su Ming slightly furrowed his brows and piloted the mecha to fly closer. Although there is the disguise of the Mechanical Octopus, not all Hive are fooled by the camouflage; entering the Insect Cave recklessly is very dangerous.
Soon, Su Ming piloted the mecha to the entrance of the Insect Cave, looking down into it.
The interior of the Insect Cave was pitch-black, deep and unfathomable, like a devouring beast.
However, Su Ming still followed Little Grey, piloting the mecha to slowly fly downward.
He finally landed in a crooked slanted passage.
The entire passage’s walls were coated in sticky secretions, with many small crawlers scattered on the ground.
Su Ming carefully piloted the Slaughter Blade Mecha inward, soon reaching a fork.
Two forked paths extended in different directions.
Su Ming stopped, turned his head to observe the two paths, seeing no difference.
At this moment, Little Grey excitedly pointed to the left side. In his view, continuously floating red lights were emerging from the left passage. But when Su Ming looked, he saw nothing.
Su Ming took a deep breath, piloting Little Grey towards the left passageway.
As the Slaughter Blade deeply penetrated, the passage became narrower and constantly branched off.
Little Grey seemed to point blindly, continually guiding Su Ming inward.
The deeper Su Ming flew, the more uneasy he felt, seeing red dots appearing on the scanning device screen.
“Warning: Scanned III Type Elite Level · Grey Bud Flying Insect.”
“Warning: Scanned IV Type Elite Level · Black Striped Worm.”
….
Su Ming’s nerves were intensely taut; though he didn’t know where he currently was, he knew that he was going deeper into an Insect Nest.
If he made any noise and alerted the insects inside, he’d surely be torn apart.
Nevertheless, Little Grey showed no fear, even getting more excited, persistently directing Su Ming to move forward.
At this point, listening to Little Grey, Su Ming turned right, suddenly entering a massive passage over five hundred meters high and a thousand meters wide.
Su Ming’s eyelids twitched suddenly; such a spacious passage surely housed gigantic insects, maybe even V Type.
He couldn’t help but swallow, his spirit ever more highly focused.
But Su Ming grew increasingly curious about where Little Grey was leading him.
With an anxious and uneasy heart, he continued flying inward.
Soon, a huge entrance appeared in his view, Little Grey chirping excitedly and pointing non-stop.
Su Ming took a deep breath and flew inside courageously.
The moment Su Ming entered, the surrounding scene suddenly opened up, and he found himself in a bottomless nest spanning several hundred square kilometers.
Su Ming drew two Plasma Lightsabers, though he didn’t activate them, to avoid alerting any monsters.
He piloted the Slaughter Blade down bit by bit.
When the Slaughter Blade neared the center, Su Ming suddenly noticed a faint green light flickering in the darkness, his heart skipped a beat and he immediately activated the scanning device, scanning the entire area.
Optical images suddenly displayed completely.
Su Ming was utterly shocked by what he saw.
—————–
Survey area.
Dark Fang Mecha cockpit.
Su Yuan’s bracelet buzzed, and the set alarm went off.
“I’m dead tired, Su Ming, are you getting up?”
Su Yuan opened his eyes, lazily stretching and opening the private communication channel to speak.
There was no response for quite a while.
Su Yuan paused slightly, piloting the mecha to look around, and seeing no sign of Su Ming, he murmured to himself puzzled.
“Strange, where is he?”
He then switched the communication to the public channel.
“Have any of you seen Su Ming? Why has he disappeared?”
“Su Ming said he needed to step out for a bit, but it’s been half a day and he hasn’t returned. Did something go wrong?”
