Chapter 233 How to break the situation
"Viscount Campbell, you seem to have made some important discovery?" The old scholar wearing black-framed glasses noticed Bai Hao's strange expression and asked directly.
As the old scholar asked questions, the centipede wrapped around him began to tremble slightly. This scene made Bai Hao realize that perhaps this centipede could understand human language.
Bai Hao didn't dare to act rashly, and immediately pretended to be calm and said, "It's nothing, I just got a little scared when I heard the weird chewing sound."
"Oh!" Upon hearing this, the old scholar smiled at Bai Hao and said, "Haha, I forgot that you are just a boy under thirteen years old. Although this place is weird, you have so many masters from the Bright Moon Goddess Sect around you. I think you should be the one who doesn't need to be afraid."
Bai Hao scratched his head embarrassedly and laughed it off casually. At this moment, Bai Hao did not dare to use the sound transmission technique to warn everyone. He could not guarantee that this terrible centipede could not monitor the sound transmission technique.
Youla actually believed Bai Hao's lie and immediately broke free from Bai Hao's arms. Then she held Bai Hao's head in her soft arms and comforted him gently: "Don't be afraid, Xiaohao. If there is any danger, just hold on to your sister..."
Although Youla's chest felt very comfortable, Bai Hao couldn't help but complain in his heart: I'm already very calm, okay? If you saw this centipede, you would probably faint!
At this moment, the chewing sounds in everyone's ears were still continuing. Bai Hao immediately used the Blessing of Light to enhance his observation skills, and soon he found the source of the chewing sounds.
A mountain-like centipede body coiled up on the wetland at the bank of the underground river, and on top of it grew a huge centipede head with tentacles, with many long and thin flagella constantly dancing under a pair of thick mandibles.
Under the flat head was a mouth full of sharp teeth, and in the constantly chewing mouth was the body of an adult male. To be more precise, it was half a corpse, because the upper half of the body had been eaten clean.
The lower limbs of the corpse were about the same size as the knight named Kemia. Bai Hao boldly guessed that the centipede was gnawing on Kemia's soul. After all, this half of the corpse was as transparent as the centipede itself.
Perhaps after this centipede has finished eating Kimia's soul, it will be Bai Hao and his group's turn. However, based on its enormous size, Bai Hao knows that even dozens of him may not be enough to fill the centipede's teeth.
Looking at the giant centipede that surrounded all the members of the exploration team and three huge fire eagles, Bai Hao let out a sigh of relief and thought quickly about how to resolve the crisis here next.
The solution is very simple. Bai Hao summarized it into three types, namely directly destroying the centipede, negotiating with the centipede, and escaping from the abyss.
The first thing is to destroy the centipede. Bai Hao believes that most physical attacks should be ineffective against this centipede. This can be seen from the fact that everyone's bodies can easily penetrate the centipede's body.
This centipede should be in some special spiritual state, so most magic should be ineffective against it, unless some mental or soul attack magic is used.
However, this type of attack magic is mostly the specialty of dark elemental mages, and there are no dark elemental mages in the exploration team. Even if there are, to be able to deal with this kind of monster that can easily wipe out the great magician class, it must be at least the level of Dr. Jia or Jace.
Bai Hao's low-level divine arts released by divine power or sub-divine power, Anan's low-level magic released by divine power, and the high-level secret arts of the Bright Moon Goddess sect, these three means of attack can potentially cause damage to the centipede, but Bai Hao thinks that the feasibility is extremely low.
Because the cost of trial and error was too high, the centipede did not launch a full-scale attack on the exploration team, because everyone was now equivalent to food on the plate, and the centipede was just chewing slowly and savoring the deliciousness.
But once the war breaks out, since no one has experience fighting against such magical creatures, who can guarantee that these magical or secret techniques can cause effective damage to the centipede?
If they can't defeat it, Bai Hao doesn't think the exploration team can leave the bottom of the abyss alive. Although the centipede is only moving slowly now, Bai Hao believes that its speed is definitely not much slower than Olmia.
Secondly, can Bai Hao use his eloquent tongue to convince Centipede not to harm the exploration team, or even let it help him solve the dilemma of Kled Lord?
Thinking of this, Bai Hao couldn't help but feel speechless at his ridiculous idea. This centipede was not just a pet at home, it was a terrifying existence that even An Nan was afraid of.
And from the fact that it ate Kemia without any words just now, it can be easily seen that this centipede obviously will not communicate too much with the food on its plate.
Thinking of this, Bai Hao already knew the only way to escape from the current crisis.
That is escape!
Since he couldn't win by fighting and couldn't negotiate, Bai Hao couldn't think of any more effective way except to escape. After all, he only had one life.
Although Bai Hao could rely on Youla's incredible luck to take a chance and boldly try the first two plans, the outcome would most likely be that everyone in the exploration team, including Bai Hao, except Youla, would die here.
Youla's luck always belongs only to Youla. Although Bai Hao can use it to a certain extent to better solve problems, there is a limit to it. It is impossible for Bai Hao to defeat the elementalist directly by carrying Youla on his back.
The last time he defeated Dr. A was because Olivia descended upon him. Without Olivia's arrival and the extremely strong sub-god power, Bai Hao and Youla would never have been able to defeat Dr. A.
The best way to deal with this centipede, which is even more terrifying than Dr. A, is to escape.
But Bai Hao knew that the centipede in front of him would definitely not let any member of the exploration team leave here in a swagger, so how to escape from this place was obviously an extremely difficult solution.
Recalling the previous details and looking at Youla who was still comforting him nearby, Bai Hao showed an evil smile.
Maybe the members of the exploration team can return to the land safely, and the centipede will even be eager to send us back. Of course, this requires a little bit of luck and the centipede's greed.
