Deepnest was once very prosperous, of course not prosperous in the ordinary sense. There were very few outsiders here, but many of Hallownest's top technologies were gathered here, which was equivalent to a combination of a secret military base and a magic research institute.
It is worth mentioning that Hallownest and Deepnest were once enemies, but they were united under the threat of the common enemy Radiation.
Under the radiation, the insects in the deep nest lost their ability to reproduce, and the leader Hera reached an agreement with the White King. They had an affair behind the White Lady's back and gave birth to the Wasp.
Lu Zhengkang led the little knight to explore the tram track. This is not only a transportation track, but also a tram distribution center. Many abandoned trams have been dumped and broken, such as the corpses of dead steel beasts. There are also some trams hanging high on cables.
, it seems to be quite new.
In this dusty metal ruins, several silvery flying insects flew out from hiding places. These are the incubators of the engravers. The mother body of the engravers looks like a curved piece of flesh with two pairs of pairs on its back.
The wings flap and make a rustling sound.
As if sensing the enemy, the hatchlings expelled the gravers from the mouth of their tails, and these gravers came straight towards Lu Zhengkang.
Because he was curious about how many Graves the hatchling could produce, Lu Zhengkang was very naughty and did not kill the hatching, just waiting for it to keep giving birth to offspring.
After an average of four or five dust-carvers were expelled, the mouths at the tail end of these hatchlings closed, and then they rushed towards Lu Zhengkang with a piercing scream, trying to bite this hateful enemy with their top mouthparts.
Several resurrected bug bodies ran out from the corner, swaying and wandering around. After Lu Zhengkang dealt with the Kechen incubator, he turned his attention to them.
"Although their appearance is normal, I always feel that their aura is very impure." Lu Zhengkang said to the little knight, and the little knight nodded lightly.
These bodies were killed, but the next moment, ferocious black claws and white fangs burst out of their bodies, forming a deformed and twisted monster. These were corpse reptiles.
Lu Zhengkang was almost amused by this weird appearance. The two weaklings together brought twice the joy. He threw out his lightsaber and nailed them to death.
"I don't have much ability, but I have a lot of tricks."
He shook his head and moved on.
When we came to a platform-like place, there were many signs hanging from the low ceiling. The information on them was similar to the train timetable.
The road ahead is blocked by a machine door, but there is an entrance on the ground. Jump in and you will find a tram car. There is a machine valve. After opening it, the fence door on the side of the car rises, and you can enter the depths of the abandoned track.
.
There are very few trams here, but instead they are filled with insect eggs, many of which are dead, but as long as some of them are still alive, a steady stream of insects can hatch.
There were a large number of Kechen hatchers here, and Lu Zhengkang also spent some effort to clear them all.
At the end, there was a carriage. After searching inside, he found a tram pass. Lu Zhengkang gave the pass to the little knight.
The tram tracks had all been explored. They walked back, passed through a circular gate, continued forward, and entered a warehouse-like place. There was a chair, but the little knight did not sit on it.
Now that they have strayed from the right path, Lu Zhengkang takes the little knight back to find the Fool's followers.
When they got there, the followers had already filled the holes in the ground and killed a few deep crawlers and started eating.
The return of the two finalists from the Colosseum made these fool warriors very nervous. They stood neatly and faced the two men with admiration and admiration.
"Let's go to Hera's beast's lair and get down to business quickly!" Lu Zhengkang said to the young knight, "There should be a stag-horned insect station there. Next, I will let the fools escort the team from the orbit into the deep lair.
, that can avoid a lot of risks. But after sending you to Hera, I completed the agreement, and you should walk the rest of the way by yourself."
The little knight nodded.
The road to the beast's lair was not too bumpy, except that the little knight left several times along the way. Lu Zhengkang probably went to save the little green worm.
The larvae of the caterpillar clan living at the crossroads were abducted by the Collector, placed in jars, and scattered throughout Hallownest. This behavior was advertised by the Collector as a great protection. He interpreted this behavior of imprisoning the bugs as love, but in fact
Many of the bugs he put into glass jars starved to death. In his Tower of Love, the jars piled high contained the corpses of various bugs.
Collecting these little green worms is also a meaningful task for the little knight. Every time he saves a larvae, he can get a reward from Grandpa Bug at the crossroads.
Lu Zhengkang actually had the opportunity to save these bugs, but for some reason, he was unwilling to do so. He was afraid that he would become the creator of tragedy, so he chose to stand by and watch the crying larvae.
…
The beast's lair is one of the deepest, darkest and most terrifying places in this underground kingdom.
It's not that there are dangers here, but there is a sense of oppression that can drive a normal mind crazy.
Lu Zhengkang and Lu Zhengkang stood on a cliff and looked around.
In the unusually vast cave, huge silk sacs hang in the air. Looking around, in the darkness, there are silk sacs paving the cave walls everywhere. Looking at the deep bottom of the cave, there is only a layer of dim water.
There are no ripples or fluctuations, dead silence and tranquility.
This appears to be a large hatchery.
With such a huge number of egg sacs, one can imagine how prosperous the deep nest once was.
"Radiation is the enemy of all life and must be killed completely." Lu Zhengkang said to the little knight. He was worried that the little knight would take the road of sealing the radiation, which would only delay the tragedy.
The little knight said nothing, but looked up at the largest egg sac. He had already realized that Hera was there.
There are silk bridges connecting the suspended egg sacs, but there are no other steps.
The beasts in the deep nest are experts in climbing. They can easily cross between silk sacs, but for alien insects, the roads here are very problematic.
Lu Zhengkang made some gestures, looked down at the weaver larvae running around at his feet, and suddenly had an idea.
He called on the fools to remove the silk sacs embedded in the cave wall, then pulled out the silk threads and asked the weavers to re-weave them into ribbons, and then flew to tie the ribbons to the silk sacs.
