Survival on Mars Live

Chapter 121 Plasma Worm Larvae

Tie Zhu walked side by side with Chen Mulin, looking around constantly: "Dad, what kind of place is this, I'm a little scared!"

After all, he is not very old, he is equivalent to a teenager on the earth, and with the memory of the past gone, it is normal to be afraid of these dark and narrow passages.

Chen Mulin comforted: "Don't be afraid, it's just an ordinary tunnel, as long as you don't encounter strange beasts, there is not much danger."

In fact, let alone Tie Zhu, Chen Mulin was also a little worried. Several underground experiences made him fully aware of the danger hidden here. Although the biggest danger came from strange beasts, it was not certain that it was absolute.

Just like the cockroach excrement I stepped on last time, just the excrement has strong corrosion ability, who knows if it will catch fire?

Thinking about it again, this is the territory of plasma worms, maybe their excrement also has the ability to paralyze, it should be me who should be afraid, after all, I don't have a strong physique.

But there is no way, who makes myself older.

"But, I'm still afraid!" Tie Zhu didn't become bold because of Chen Mulin's words, he still couldn't control the fear in his heart, took Chen Mulin's hand, and moved forward very slowly.

Chen Mulin stopped, looked at Tie Zhu and said helplessly, "How about this, let's open the barrier, you follow me, and I'll explore the way!"

"Okay, okay, I see!" Tie Zhu nodded, opened the barrier, and retreated consciously, just sticking to Chen Mulin's back, not daring to stay too far away, and glanced behind him from time to time.

Chen Mulin collected himself, glanced at the radar and continued to move forward.

Gradually, the depth came to about 2000 meters, and the journey was safe and sound, without any emergencies.

Thanks to the biological radar, Chen Mulin was able to avoid the place where the strange beasts gathered.

It's just that he still feels very uncomfortable, too frustrated. Because the bio-radar is affected, the detectable distance is too small, so the traveling speed is extremely slow.

This is also something that cannot be helped. This situation may not be improved until it reaches a place about 5000 meters underground.

But this is just a guess, there may be sufficient oxygen below, but there may not be energy crystals.

If not, the signal will continue to be limited, and without the help of base equipment, it will be equally difficult.

At present, this is the only way to go. What Chen Mulin is thinking now is to help Tie Zhu find his mother first, and then find an excuse to return to the base after he finds out this place.

He knew in his heart that it was too difficult to find someone here. Although it was not as good as finding a needle in a haystack, it was not far behind. After all, there were still a bunch of ferocious beasts here.

When descending to about 3000 meters, Chen Mulin finally discovered something strange.

"Tie Zhu, what do you think that is?"

From a distance, Chen Mulin saw a thread-like object covering the surroundings of the cave wall, and there was a large group of small creatures crawling around on it, but he didn't know what it was.

There are still many small creatures underground, because they do not pose a threat and will affect the sensitivity of the radar, so Chen Mulin blocked some smaller creatures on the radar, and it is normal not to find these creatures in advance.

Chen Mulin's sudden opening startled Tie Zhu a little bit, and after recovering, he glanced in the direction Chen Mulin pointed: "It looks like a little spider."

"I think so too!" Chen Mulin nodded, boldly said, "Let's go and have a look!"

"No, I don't want to go there!" Tie Zhu pulled Chen Mulin, with a look of fear in his eyes, no matter how much Chen Mulin pulled him, he would not go away.

Reluctantly, Chen Mulin began to appease him: "Xiang, according to my experience, the smaller the beasts here, the weaker their attack power."

He pointed to the little spiders crawling around and said, "As far as those tadpole-sized ones are concerned, they probably aren't even considered a threat. They can trample a large group of them to death with one foot."

Tie Zhu finally relaxed: "Then, that's fine!"

Just like that, Chen Mulin walked over with Tie Zhu.

The closer he got, Chen Mulin gradually saw the appearance of the creature clearly.

"Sure enough, it's a spider!"

"It seems that this is the old nest of spiders!"

Walking to the little spider, Chen Mulin squatted down, very curious, and wanted to see the difference between the spiders on Mars and the spiders on Earth.

Taking a closer look, Chen Mulin murmured: "No, this thing can't be a larva of a plasma worm, can it?"

"Tie Zhu, take a look, do you think it's a little plasma worm?" Chen Mulin turned to look at Tie Zhu, but found that he was always hiding behind him, not even daring to take a look.

Chen Mulin scolded with a smile: "What's there to be afraid of? You've beaten the big ones, so you're afraid of the little ones?"

Tie Zhu kept shaking his head, but didn't take a look.

Suddenly Chen Mulin thought of a symptom, claustrophobia, maybe Tie Zhu has claustrophobia, in this environment, his heart will be greatly shocked, if it is not for the belief in his heart, maybe he will not follow him.

Giving up, Chen Mulin shook his head and began to study these bugs by himself.

The more he looked carefully, the more certain he was that this was the larva of the plasma worm.

Similarly, the abdomen emits a blue light, and the shape is almost the same, the only difference is that the bodies of these bugs are all translucent.

But this cannot deny that they are not plasma worms, they are larvae after all, translucency is very common.

If it is really a plasma worm larva, then this place is not a spider's territory, but a plasma worm's territory.

Think about it, too, there are plasma worms active on the ground above here, it is only a few kilometers away, and even the old nest of cockroaches has a large space below 5000 meters, the territory of plasma worms cannot be such a small area.

Based on this guess, it is impossible to find Martian residences in this area, and this is the territory of plasma worms.

Now that I already have the answer in my heart, there is no need to continue exploring.

But looking at Tie Zhu, Chen Mulin felt that he still had to explore deeper, and it was fine to make a cutscene, as long as he carefully avoided the plasma worms and ensured that he could return safely.

Thinking of this, Chen Mulin began to greet Tie Zhu: "Let's go, the road ahead may be dangerous, let's be careful!"

"Yeah!" Tie Zhu nodded, impatiently wanting to move forward.

For him, although he has claustrophobia, it is better to keep moving forward than to stand still.

If you stop, you will feel trapped in the dark, but when you walk, you will feel that you are looking for a way out, which will give you a psychological comfort.

This is not the most important thing. The important thing is that when walking, you will be affected by the process of finding your mother, so as to dilute your inner fear.

Nodding to Tie Zhu, Chen Mulin took the lead to step over the group of small plasma worms, and continued to move forward with Tie Zhu.

However, they accidentally touched the spider's silk.
