When Xue Hua heard the news, his eyes suddenly became moist...
Not easy~
We poor and lower-middle peasants are finally looking forward to liberation~~
Xue Hua almost jumped up and down to the position marked by the King Insect. There were already two insect mothers leading the insect swarm troops to perform vigilance missions.
When he, accompanied by the swarm of insects, saw the entrance of the cave, he finally understood why it took the swarm so long to find the entrance to the maggot nest.
Because the hole is not on the ground at all, but directly suspended in mid-air.
"What the hell? What's going on?"
Seeing this scene, Xue Hua asked a little confused.
"Lord, the cave does not exist completely within this time and space. Most of its area is in the interlayer of space, so the entrance to the cave looks like this."
Isha used some means to test it a little, and soon explained it to Xue Hua.
"The space mezzanine? How can these sandworms dig holes into the space mezzanine? Why don't they go up to the sky?"
It was okay not to listen to this explanation, but after hearing it, Xue Hua was even more shocked.
A bunch of monster projections can dig holes into the space mezzanine at will?
The space in this world is too unstable, right?
"Master, most of the caves in these space mezzanines should not have been excavated. They seem to have some strange biological characteristics. The specific situation requires further inspection to find out the reasons."
"Well, after all, I still have to go in..." Xue Hua rolled his eyes, looked at this thing hanging in the air like some kind of portal, shook his head helplessly, and then
He jumped right in.
Before he arrived, the insect mothers had already sent a part of the insect swarm to have a look. After confirming that there was no danger and that the landing point had been expanded, Xue Hua was allowed to jump directly. Otherwise, the insect mothers would not allow Xue Hua to jump in.
Hua put himself in danger like this.
When they saw Xue Hua jumping down, the two girls were shocked. They had planned to go down first to explore the way. This kind of thing is logically the responsibility of mercenaries, but during the days with Xue Hua, they
But I've never done anything like this.
Because every time, the master's powerful summons would complete the tasks that were supposed to be completed by their sisters ahead of time.
Although they know that this is because of their master's love and care for them, every time this happens, they still feel an uncontrollable sense of loss in their hearts.
It's really useless, we...
I can't help you with anything...
The two sisters looked at each other and saw a hint of stubbornness in each other's eyes.
They walked to the wormhole and were about to follow Xue Hua down, but a mother worm on the side stretched out its appendage and stopped them.
"Two mistresses, the Lord wants you to stay above. He said that the combat environment below is not suitable for shooters. The space there is too narrow..."
"...Oh...we understand." Annie pursed her lips and silently pulled her sister back two steps.
Funya's face was dark, and there was a hint of grievance in her eyes.
The insect mother glanced at the two mistresses inexplicably. It noticed that the biological magnetic field fluctuations emitted by the two mistresses were somewhat low, but without an emotional resonance organ, it could not understand what was wrong with the two little sisters, so it could not
I could only stand aside silently.
Inside the cave, Xue Hua was slowly advancing forward with the insect swarm.
The reason why he didn't let his two little girls follow him was really because of the environment below.
The aisle here is so damn narrow that calling it a catwalk would be an exaggeration. Moreover, the material of the aisle looks to be some kind of clay, but it feels extremely slippery and disgusting, even under your feet.
It's a slime-like thing. If you don't pay attention, it will give you a big fall.
In this combat environment, Xue Hua didn't even summon the Hydralisk, because it was of no use at all. The size of the Hydralisk was too big for this insect. Once it was released, it couldn't even stand up straight, with its head above its head.
The jet cavity on the top of the machine is directly pushed against the top of the cave wall, making it impossible to open it at all.
Of course, he also thought about releasing worker bees and other burrowing experts to widen the tunnel, but the summoned cockroaches not only spent a long time digging a small hole in the sticky ground, but also passed through the small hole.
After that, it turned out to be a strange void of nothingness...
Only then did Xue Hua remember what Isa had said to him before coming in...
It seems that most of this insect nest is built in the interlayer of space... Digging casually will cause problems.
Therefore, he had to give up the wonderful idea of digging a hole downwards and go directly to see the sandworm queen, and obediently moved forward slowly along the intestinal path.
Because the road is too narrow, not only the exterminators can't pass, but also the cockroaches, and even the mother insects can't even think about it, so the main force of the insect swarm's advancement here has become the springtail army.
Moreover, even if they were springtails, they could only walk two side by side at the same time, and they were so crowded that their combat effectiveness was seriously affected.
In the end, Xue Hua had no choice but to arrange the springtails front to back, staggering their positions as much as possible, and then he was able to force the springtails to stretch their limbs.
However, just when the insect swarm had just adjusted its position, the unique sharp screams of the water and fertilizer warriors suddenly came from the dark corridor ahead, and a large group of beetle demons wearing various colors of insect shell armor rushed out of the corridor.
come out.
Encountering a monster was not beyond Xue Hua's expectation, so he pointed forward in advance, and dozens of springtails roared and rushed forward.
Although the corridor is quite narrow, which seriously affects the combat effectiveness of the insect swarm, for the springtails, there is still no problem in killing a few beetle monsters even without the fire cover of other insect units.
Therefore, those monsters that had just burst out of the darkness were immediately attacked head-on.
The springtails screamed and pounced forward, knocking down the death beetles that were unable to spread their wings and glide due to the terrain one by one. Then, ignoring the crazy flashes of electric light on their opponents, they slashed at the heads of these monsters with claws.
chew.
The projections of these beetle monsters were no match for the springtails, and they were quickly killed by them.
After a few minutes, the monster group was eliminated and the road was open again.
Xue Hua led the insect swarm forward.
However, after walking less than two hundred meters, another wave of sandworms laying eggs appeared in front of the swarm.
This kind of insect monster with eight articulated legs and a pair of huge pincer-like mouthparts was rarely seen in oases before, and occasionally only one or two could be found in relatively arid places.
It was the first time for Xue Hua to see such a group of people appearing in front of him.
This bug is said to have been artificially raised as one of the main food sources in desert areas before it was contaminated by hell energy.
Their eggs have high nutritional value and are quite delicious.
They themselves are also high-value economic animals known for their delicious meat.
But when these small arthropods, which were originally only half a palm in size, were contaminated by hell's energy, they turned into giant monsters about two meters long.
The relationship between food and diners between them and humans has been reversed.
Even their eggs have become extremely dangerous.
There were professionals who once had a long talk in a tavern about the best way to deal with sandworms.
The experienced professional just said one sentence.
"Don't touch the eggs without destroying the sandworms themselves, unless you want them to produce more endlessly."
This sentence expresses the biggest feature of this monster in one sentence - laying eggs.
Sandworms themselves are not dangerous, although they have a pair of intimidatingly large pincers, and although they can spray venom at you from a distance.
However, their too slow movement speed, venom hit rate that is basically equivalent to blindly hitting with eyes closed, and their fat bodies without any carapace protection all make it possible for professionals who encounter them for the first time to easily kill a dozen sands. insect.
This kind of monster never occupies any place on any professional's "not to be messed with" list.
In the eyes of most professionals, they are mobile experiences.
Yes, the above mentioned are basically correct.
But there's just one thing you need to pay attention to.
That is, do not break the eggs they have just laid before eliminating the sandworms.
