Xue Hua took the springtails to the bottom of the cave entrance, raised his hands to build a shed and looked up.
Outside the entrance of the cave, rays of golden sunlight were cut into fine spots by the leaves and branches in the forest and shone down from the entrance, accompanied by bursts of moist vegetation and the familiar smell of humus.
——No matter how you look at it, this is indeed an exit...
Xue Hua mobilized another king insect that was wandering outside, and asked it to focus on his current location, and found that the entrance of the cave was not far away from the entrance he entered before.
Is there any mistake?
He was down there and it could be said that he had traveled quickly for at least two hours. When he got here, he saw that the distance between the exit and the entrance was actually no more than 300 meters?
You walked 300 meters in two hours?
This is indeed not a normal underground cave or insect tunnel.
Xue Hua nodded and glanced seriously at the exit at the top of the cave, but he had no intention of trying to climb out.
After finally finding this maggot nest, he still didn't understand anything. How could he just go out empty-handed?
So, he led the swarm back, preparing to return to the connection point and trying to find other branches.
However, he turned around and took less than two steps when the sight in front of him froze him.
I saw that the branch road he came from was "naturally" blocked again.
what happened?
Why is this road blocked again?
The insect mother didn't send him any warning?
Xue Hua was a little confused for a moment, and hurriedly asked the mother insect that he deliberately left at the connection point in the main nest mind.
As a result, the insect mother's answer made him even more confused.
The insect mother reported to him that there were no changes in the three forked roads connecting the points. It even sent a few springtails to investigate, but still found no changes inside...
hey-hey!
This is so fun!
Xue Hua raised the corners of his eyes, feeling like he was playing a puzzle game when he was a child.
It's just that now it's a real-life version.
He immediately ordered the insect mother to send a team of springtails to explore along the branch road he had walked to see where the branch road now led.
The insect mother immediately obeyed, and about forty of them soon poured into the narrow corridor.
However, more than ten minutes later, when the springtails fought their way out from a group of death beetles, what appeared in front of them was another exit...
Xue Hua raised the corner of his mouth, summoned another king insect, asked it to watch the newly appeared exit, and then ordered the springtail to retreat.
The result was just as he expected, the way the springtails retreated was also blocked.
Moreover, no changes were observed on the insect mother's side.
Because of the sound...
This is very interesting. Judging from the other party's final intention, it is obvious that he wants to drive him and the insect swarm out...
And he is not ready to let him meet the swarm...
Although he didn't know what it was and how it did it, Xue Hua was obviously not prepared to let the other party get his wish.
He once again asked the insect mother to send out springtails, but this time, he asked the springtails to leave one at a certain distance, so as to explore the branch road again.
In this way, the springtails left one companion every three meters in the passage. After walking like this for about ten minutes, the last five remaining springtails finally rushed out of the passage and arrived at another exit area.
.
At this moment, Xue Hua immediately used the main hive mind to see if the springtails left in the passage had noticed anything.
However, at this moment, the alarm sound of an insect swarm attack suddenly sounded in the main hive mind.
He quickly checked the alarm area and found that it was the group of springtails staying in that passage that had raised the alarm.
They are currently being attacked by a group of blue-colored "ghost death beetles" that emerge from the walls of the passage!
Xue Hua took a closer look at these death beetles and found that except for the fact that the biological template of these guys was the death beetles one level higher than the water and fertilizer warriors, in other aspects they were similar to the group of hydralisks that Xue Hua encountered when he first arrived at the oasis.
The ghost water and fertilizer warriors are exactly the same.
It doesn't take ordinary physical attacks, and it can still pass through matter with its body...
And this time, their number is dozens of times that of the group of "ghost water and fertilizer warriors" that Xue Hua encountered last time!
There are too few springtails, and their proud fangs and claws are completely useless against these guys.
Therefore, from the beginning of this battle, there was an unprecedented scene of the insect swarm units being completely suppressed.
These ghost death beetles fight in this terrain. Not only is it a problem for them, the terrain here also provides them with great convenience.
They can walk freely through the walls of the corridor without any hindrance, and they can also attack their opponents from any angle.
But their opponents could only huddle in the narrow passage and be beaten passively.
Seeing this situation, Xue Hua's eyes slowly narrowed.
To be honest, he did not expect to encounter such monsters in such a place. When he saw these strange monsters in the oasis before, he thought they were some elite monsters that had not appeared in previous games.
What about affixes.
As a result, we actually met such a large group of people here...
However, encountering this kind of monster in this kind of terrain is no worse than encountering a large group of elite monsters.
They can be said to have taken advantage of the favorable location and time here.
Of course, this doesn't mean that the swarm has nothing to do with them.
Although I don't know why these things choose to appear at this time to attack the insect swarm, to deal with them, you only need to let the toadstool bugs deliver inhibitory spores into this channel.
He remembered that when he left the connection point, he released several toadstool bugs under the command of the mother bug.
I don’t know if it was because of Xue Hua’s plan that he found the “secret” of this underground passage. Anyway, since he left a springtail in that passage every three meters, that passage has never been opened.
Other abnormalities.
Therefore, the insect mother was able to smoothly let the poisonous fungi put the inhibitory spores into the channel.
The light blue bacteriostatic mist quickly spread throughout the entire passage, and the death beetles contaminated by the bacterium mist immediately re-condensed into entities from their virtual state.
However, unlike the water-fat warriors we met in the oasis before, these guys still emit a light blue light even after they condense into entities.
However, no matter what, when these death beetles became able to be torn apart by sharp claws, the springtails immediately launched a counterattack. The ghost death beetles themselves, which had lost their virtual ability, had no different abilities from ordinary death beetles. They were very
Soon they were all knocked to the ground one by one by the springtails.
The ghost death beetles poured out of the wall in flakes, and then flakes were affected by the antibacterial mist that affected the virtualization ability, and then flakes were sent by the springtails and insect mothers left in the channel.
The reinforcements killed him.
These death beetles do not bleed green blood like their counterparts after death, but only puffs of blue smoke drift from their wounds.
Moreover, their corpses can only maintain their form for tens of seconds before completely collapsing and disintegrating.
The most important thing is that Isa reported to Xue Hua that it specifically monitored the biological fluctuations of these special monsters and the spiritual energy conversion and extraction performed by Leviathan on them after death, and then discovered that these "things" cannot be called
as "creature".
They seem to be just a conception of spiritual energy, the product of the so-called "substantialization of imagination".
"Materialization of imagination? How is this possible?" Xue Hua couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this term.
Imagination materialized...couldn't it mean the so-called "dreams come true"?
"Under normal circumstances, this level of technology should be just a fantasy-level experiment in any universe..."
Abathur suddenly emerged from the main nest mind and took the initiative to answer the question.
"Under normal circumstances?" Xue Hua blinked, a little confused.
"Unless where you are now is somewhere in a huge brain..."
