Chapter 51: Memories of the Antlers, the Beast's Lair
As the silk bridge continued to be built, Lu Zhengkang and other insects continued to rise from the cliff at the beginning, and soon approached the largest silk sac. During this period, they also discovered the staghorn insect station on the top floor of the cave. There are many elevators on the edge of the station, and now they are all
Tightly wrapped in spider silk and unable to operate, it can be seen from the large number of elevators that transportation here was once convenient. Hallownest and Deepnest must have had a honeymoon period.
These many suspended silk sacs exist as a special architectural form, with entrances and exits and front platforms. The internal structures include silk thread floors, light fly lanterns, etc. The functions of these large silk sacs are also diverse, and some
There are goods stored in the silk sacs, and some of them contain daily utensils. In some silk sacs, there are corpses of Hallownest bugs. They are tied up and stacked like stones and vegetation. The corpses have long been dried. They open their eyes and are helpless.
Staring intently into the unfocused distance.
The young knight lowered his head and looked at the corpses, and suddenly took out a gorgeous sword hilt from under his cloak. It looked like a carved cylinder with a patterned roulette on it. He swung the sword hilt behind him, a symbol representing a dream.
The geometric pattern spreads, and brilliant light bursts out from the wheel. The pure white light is like fire, with a pink and purple halo, like an ice wheel dotted with lilacs. The tone is quiet and elegant, but the blooming posture is bold and uninhibited.
Dream nail.
Using light as a blade, you can break down the barriers between reality and dreams, explore the deepest thoughts of living beings, and absorb the remaining dreams from the dead bodies to gain enlightenment.
The little knight waved the Nail of Dreams and slashed across the bodies of the dead. As if nothing existed, the misty dream light flickered in the air.
He took back the Dream Nail and seemed to be enlightened, but Lu Zhengkang saw nothing.
"Clean up these corpses," Lu Zhengkang said. "We can house a lot of insects here in the future."
The fools lifted the corpses out of the silk sacs, and then threw them down from high places. The bodies fell into the deep lake below, making a splashing sound. The echo was absorbed by the silk sacs on the cave wall. It was very dry and stuffy, and it sounded strange.
It didn't seem like the sound of water entering, but the dull sound of wooden tenons digging into the tree trunk.
After building the silk bridge to the Antler Station, Lu Zhengkang took the little knight to open the station meter. Fortunately, the little knight had enough Geo, and Lu Zhengkang rarely had any luxury.
After ringing the bell, there was no movement in the tunnel for a long time. It was really too remote here.
There was dust everywhere, the benches where the bugs sat and rested were broken and scattered, and there were also some spools of silk thread piled around, which could be used to weave bridges.
At a certain moment, rumbling footsteps sounded, and the stag-horned insect that people had been waiting for for a long time ran out. He was panting, but very happy, and said loudly to the two people on the platform: "Little guys! I found it! I
The nest of stag bugs where I was born and raised. I cannot go back privately. I have to abide by my duty and go to the place where the bugs call me. But if you want to see it, I can take you there. Maybe there is no one there.
But the nest itself is also worth seeing! As long as you say something, no matter who it is, we will set off immediately!"
Lu Zhengkang replied apologetically: "There is a chance, and it won't be long. Now we need you to wait here for a while. When we finish the business, we will have another task for you. You can go to Staghorn Bug on the way.
It won’t be long, don’t worry.”
Antler looked a little disappointed, but he followed his duties impeccably, "You go ahead, I will wait, but please don't take too long, there is an uncomfortable atmosphere here, I remember this distant village
, many insects come here, but few leave, and they are in a hurry. This place has been abandoned for a long time. If it weren't for you, maybe I would forget this place forever."
"Don't worry."
The Fool's followers all gathered in the station. Their mission was almost completed. Lu Zhengkang took the little knight to the giant silk sac at the top.
After entering the silk sac, I found that the floor was made of stone. The layout of this silk sac can be said to be at the palace level, which must have consumed a lot of materials.
Passing through a dark passage and entering a dimly lit hall, the light from the luxurious light fly chandelier overhead is very dim, and the light flies inside flap their wings feebly.
This seems to be a living room. There are many huge six-hole mask statues on the walls of the hall, which are the symbols of Hera, and this silk sac is Hera's palace.
A group of insects in red robes and white masks gathered in the hall in twos and threes. Some were sitting on round stools and some were standing behind the bar. They were talking softly, but the atmosphere was extremely strange and there was no sense of harmony. They seemed to be a group of food.
The saprophytes hold a dinner party around the corpse, with deep malice.
There was a row of benches in the center of the hall. None of these bugs sat on the benches, so these uniquely shaped chairs were left vacant.
Lu Zhengkang knew what he was doing, and led the little knight to a bug. A strange pheromone emitted from the bug, "The chair is very comfortable, go sit down." He squeezed out a few words from under his broad cloak.
It is a very difficult insect language, with a very soft volume and a very thick tone.
The little knight obviously noticed something was wrong. He swung his bone nails and scratched the bodies of these insects, but there was no flicker of dream light.
These bugs have no thoughts.
They are dead things, puppets.
These chairs are traps.
So, where is Hera?
The little knight looked around. There was no passage. The walls and ceiling seemed to fit perfectly, and it didn't look like there was a secret passage.
Lu Zhengkang wielded the bone nails and knocked down the group of puppets. Under the cloak, there were dolls made of wood as bones and silk thread as tendons. Pheromones floated out from a small pomegranate-like cavity that gave off a strange smell.
"If there is a secret passage, wait for me to find it." Lu Zhengkang said to the little knight.
In the game, this is a plot kill. Normally, you have to sit on a chair and then be tied by the spider silk on the chair. The puppet will tie the little knight up and carry him to the beast's lair above.
However, there are secret passages, and there should be two. Besides, even if you really can't find them, you can just lift up the ceiling.
After floating up there and tapping for a long time, Lu Zhengkang saw an area covered with spider silk. He gently pulled the silk thread aside to reveal a secret passage.
The little knight saw that he was not far from the wall, so he stepped on the wall to near the entrance of the secret passage, then sprinted in the air and double jumped into the secret passage.
Lu Zhengkang watched him keep jumping on the wall of the secret passage, spreading his hands and flying behind the little knight.
Entering the beast's lair, it is a stone cave with dense cobwebs, very few lanterns, and very dark. The sound of carapace scraping, tiny footsteps, teeth grinding, hissing, and chewing fills every inch of space here.
