Lu Zhengkang held the insect eggs in one hand and came to the little knight.
The little knight was sleeping with his head down, and his short legs could not reach the ground and were dangling in the air. As soon as Lu Zhengkang approached him, he raised his head, jumped off the chair, and was ready to listen.
Lu Zhengkang gently touched his mask before speaking, and the mottled touch gave him a bit of steady warmth. He said: "Friend, the seal of radiation must be broken. Have you released a certain dream keeper now?"
?”
The little knight shook his head.
"So you defeated the broken container in the Ancient Basin?"
This time the little knight nodded.
"Okay, then you should go to the edge of the kingdom to find the mark of the king. After you get the mark, you can come to the Mantis tribe to find me. I will lead the fools to clear the deep nest and pave the way for you, so that you can quickly
It is convenient to find the beast Hera... By the way, before you go to find the teacher Monomon, you must come to see me!"
Lu Zhengkang estimated in his mind that the three sealed Dreamkeepers could complete the security mission of a team while absorbing Hera. After absorbing Monomon, he asked Quiruo to lead another team to evacuate.
Complete the task of preserving the Fire of Hallownest before the seal is completely broken.
He briefly discussed the plan with the young knight, making sure that the young knight would not absorb Watcher Lurian along the way.
The little knight nodded, expressing his cooperation, very well-behaved, and immediately planned to set off to the edge of the kingdom.
He walked away step by step. Looking at his petite back, Lu Zhengkang couldn't help shouting, "Actually, you have feelings, right?"
The little knight paused for a moment, then continued forward.
Lu Zhengkang sighed. It is the most painful for a tool that has been instilled with obedience to have independent consciousness, because all pain is caused by thoughts.
None of this could save anything, so Lu Zhengkang immediately prepared his own plan.
…
Lu Zhengkang called Sly before setting off, and together they rode the stag bug to the crossroads.
They first went to find the Shang Zong clan. Many infected people had appeared here one after another, making the already sparse tribe even more desolate. After hearing Lu Zhengkang's plan, more than half of the Shang Zhong decided to evacuate Hallownest.
A small number of older people really couldn't afford to travel a long distance, so they planned to go to the Deep Nest. The Shang Zong clan fully supported Lu Zhengkang's plan. If they had money and ability, they would hire Sly and prepare food and water reserves for the journey.
Lu Zhengkang asked them to contact more insects, so that those who wanted to survive could gather in the merchant insect village and be escorted to Dirtmouth by Sly.
Later, Lu Zhengkang went to attend the maintenance bug gathering. According to the gathering cycle, this time the gathering was held on the Green Path, which was considered a place not far or near.
The stag beetle was commandeered by the little knight, and Lu Zhengkang could only walk to the green path.
The green path from Cross Road is not far away and passes through one of the core areas of Cross Road.
In the huge shaft-like underground cave, suspended cargo platforms are stagnant in the air. There are building materials and tools everywhere, and there are countless passages on the four walls. You can imagine how busy this place must have been when it was once busy, with goods and
Swarms of insects come and go like a pumping heart, pumping blood to every corner of the crossroads.
The path leading to the Green Path is in the center of a wall, wider than the other passages, and there are plants leaning out from it.
Entering the passage, there is a bridge with a sign at the end of the bridge.
"Pilgrim's Road
Travelers in Hallownest pass through the verdant fields and mushroom forests on their way to the city at the center of the kingdom.
There, hopes will come true and the truth will be revealed."
This is the starting point of the pilgrim's road and the end point is the City of Tears.
Lu Zhengkang crossed the bridge and entered the green path, and immediately felt the breath of green coming to his face. Like the Queen's Garden, the ground was full of vegetation, but the plants here were more delicate and delicate than those in the garden.
There are not many large and rough plants, mostly mosses, vines, and herbs.
These delicate but tenacious little plants form a continuous patchwork, walking freely through the gaps between steel and stubborn rocks, showing off their unrestrained and enthusiastic vitality.
There are sour water lakes all over here. Fortunately, there are also many bridges and platforms, which are very spacious. The leisurely masked birds stay on the platform. The natural mask-like bones on their heads give them a certain humanity, and they are as solemn as a group of eternal birds.
viewer.
Looking around, you can see many spherical spiral leaf-shaped stone sculptures on the cave wall, looming among the plants, looking like fruits from a distance. There are small columns with simple shapes on various platforms, like arched crowds.
, very solemn, these are the traces left by the Zerg who built the Green Trail.
The light on the green path is quite bright. Of course it is dimmer than in the garden, but much better than the crossroad. The light is basically provided by street lights. Places far away from the street lights will appear a little dim, but in general, the street lights here are still good.
It's quite sufficient, and the light of the plants makes the colors here bright and refreshing, subjectively it feels brighter.
With so many street lights, it must be very troublesome to maintain them.
Lu Zhengkang stood on the finely carved platform and looked down at the bubbling acid water below. Suddenly, the dense grass behind him made a noise, as if a giant beast suddenly rushed towards him, its footsteps rumbling.
Lu Zhengkang turned around and saw a huge ball of grass blades, which was more than twice as tall as him. It hit him with a crazy momentum. There was a pair of orange eyes in the front of the grass ball. It looked like a giant beast.
Launched an attack on Lu Zhengkang.
Lu Zhengkang swung a nail and struck it on the grass.
All of a sudden, the grass ball exploded and turned into flying leaves all over the sky. A small insect with round eyes was using the flying leaves to cover it and was escaping crazily, burrowing into the bushes.
This is a moss charger, essentially a timid little insect, but after putting on the disguise of a plant, it will launch a brave charge against all outsiders. Lu Zhengkang was disturbed from looking at the scenery, and immediately stopped.
Stop and follow the map to the meeting place.
On the road, I encountered several Squirts, which are mosquito-like flying insects that can swoop down on their prey with their sharp, needle-like beaks. Lu Zhengkang waited patiently for them to rush towards them and then stabbed them to death.
In addition, there are moss monsters and unstable moss, which are plant-like bugs. The former relies on ramming to deal with enemies, while the latter swells when infected and emit deadly gas.
Moss monsters often start to rush at Lu Zhengkang when they see him from a distance. After running a few steps, they fall down and roll into a ball. Then they try to lift themselves up and rush again. They are so cute that Lu Zhengkang can't bear to kill them unless he really wants to.
Very blocking the road.
The unstable moss is very, very uncute. It is obviously the same creature, but the difference between before and after infection is astonishing. The moss looks like a gray-green little sheep, while the unstable moss looks like rotten and sore plague mutton meat, with orange-red swelling.
The blisters swelled up from under the skin, were densely packed, and looked like water balloons, which was very disgusting.
Lu Zhengkang directly threw out the soul ball and sent them home. These corpses of unstable moss would also explode, spreading a strange sweet aroma, which smelled very appetizing. However, Lu Zhengkang did not intend to try them.
As we walked around, we encountered many special creatures on the road, such as a plant life form called Gurka, which looked like a bunch of green vegetables. It would spit out thorn balls from a distance to attack the enemy, and the enemy would shrink back when it got close.
To protect itself, it is similar to Ssporg in the Fungus Wasteland, but the thorn balls it sprays will not explode. From this point of view, it is more like a pea shooter.
The road was winding and difficult to walk, and finally Lu Zhengkang arrived at the gathering place.
