Mentioning the cave, Xue Hua couldn't help but think of the evil cave battle at that time. If he hadn't used Leviathan as a trump card in the end of that battle, he would have been eaten by the corpse possessed by Sister An as a snack.
, and this kid Colin Dollaway is crazy enough. He actually gave up his soul to beg Andariel to avenge him. You must know that Andariel is the queen of torture. God knows what will happen to the soul if it falls into its hands.
?
However, this cave is not as famous as the Evil Cave. The reason is that its location is too deep into the icy plains. Only those professionals who are about to go to the Stone Wilderness will go inside to find out, but most of them only have a brief taste, because
There are no torches set up by Rogges here, and there is no map. Moreover, this cave is too big, more than twice the size of the Evil Cave. The Evil Cave itself is already big enough.
Wandering around in this place, trying to find any treasure requires the same luck as a blind cat encountering a dead mouse. The worst thing is that it is easy to find the treasure if you can't find it. If you can't find the way out in the end, and you don't have a return scroll,
, that would be fun...
But all this is not a problem for Xue Hua, who has the Supervisory King Insect. The Supervisory King Insect can observe underground creatures through the stratum of no more than fifty meters. He only needs to let the Supervisory King Insect guide the path they have taken.
Record it, and if you want to go out at that time, just follow the instructions of the monitoring king insect and return the way you came.
So Xue Hua went in without any psychological burden, but he regretted it as soon as he entered.
It's really dark in here~
There was no other way, Xue Hua had no choice but to take out Yiluo's torch, illuminate part of it with the faint green light, and then hold a torch in his left hand, which barely illuminated an area around him.
Fortunately, the insect swarm simply ignores natural light sources. There is no difference in their eyes whether there is light or no light. Otherwise, Xue Hua would really have to consider whether to move on.
Moreover, this cave is also filled with a disgusting smell, but Xue Hua has Qi Filter Pills, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
He let three skeletons surround him in the middle. He didn't expect them to exert any combat effectiveness anyway. They used them as movable shields to block knives. Coupled with the swarm of insects surrounding him, the double-layer protection was enough to ensure his safety in this dark place.
After making all preparations, he asked the insect queen to start leading the insect swarm to explore the cave, while he stood beside the insect queen and moved forward surrounded by the insect swarm.
After walking for about ten minutes, the surroundings were still silent.
Xue Hua felt a little guilty.
What situation is this?
Even if I didn't see the cold crow, why didn't I even see a little monster?
It stands to reason that in such a cave that has not been cleaned all year round, not to mention it is full of monsters, at least the density of monsters should be much greater than in the wilderness, right?
Why haven't I seen anything yet?
He had a vague premonition that he might have done nothing this time.
In order to verify this hunch, he sent several springtails to conduct reconnaissance along the passages in the cave, and asked the supervisory king insect to spread the field of view, focusing on looking for moving objects in the cave.
However, the feedback results from both parties soon confirmed his hunch.
The cave is empty.
Xue Hua took back the springtails and began to return along the road marked by the surveillance king insect, thinking about the current situation as he walked.
The many days of hunting in the cold plains had already made him feel that something was wrong. The abnormal behavior of the fallen demons and the empty caves only deepened this suspicion. The projections of hell seemed to be planning something...
.
Are they going to attack the border post?
But this isn’t right either?
Attacking the border post shouldn't cause such a commotion? I believe that the abnormal behavior of the Sinking Demon has been known to the border post. The Rogge guards will definitely strengthen their defenses and even ask for help from the Rogge camp.
Once the reinforcements from Rogge's camp arrive, the monsters in the icy plains have no chance at all.
Moreover, attacking the border outpost will not do any good to the monsters at all. The Hell Demon Kings should know very well that in this world where projection can only come, even if the outpost is captured, it will be recaptured by strong humans overnight.
At that time, as long as Flavi is not stupid, retreats decisively when things go wrong, and conserves his strength to the greatest extent, he can wait until the reinforcements from the Rogge camp arrive in a wave of counterattack, and he can retake the outpost.
There is no loss at all.
On the contrary, the monster community in the icy plain will suffer heavy losses. Although they are just projections that can be resurrected, if they are concentrated and killed somewhere, the equipment and hell energy they will drop will be enough to make the human professionals
Its combat effectiveness has grown by leaps and bounds.
Isn’t this making yourself uncomfortable?
If we insist on siege, we should quietly gather forces like the last time and then launch a surprise attack, surround the outpost, and prevent the guards from retreating, so as to consume the human side's power to the maximum extent.
The last time Bisubosu's surprise attack tactics caught Flavi off guard and almost destroyed the border post, although the same tactics would be less effective the second time, it was still more sensible than the blatant gathering of troops like this.
Now, do you think that the big guys in Rogge’s camp are a bunch of weaklings?
Xue Hua grabbed the insect mother's arthropods extending from the hole and crawled out, patted the dust on her body, and took a breath of the cold, dry air.
I'd better leave these things to the big guys to consider. My top priority now is to find the burial ground first and try to complete the mission as soon as possible.
"Lord, what should we do next?"
Insect Mother Tunam asked respectfully.
As the middle-level commander of the insect swarm, each insect mother will be given a code-like name by the main hive mind when it is hatched, so that the master can clearly distinguish the insect swarm troops commanded by each insect mother.
The intelligence of insect mothers is no lower than that of humans, especially their talent in combat command, which is higher than that of most human commanders. However, they have no emotional intelligence and no sense of strategic layout. This high-level command art only exists
In the genetic sequence of the high-ranking commander of the swarm.
Therefore, in most cases, Xue Hua, as the master, needs to give a specific goal that can be implemented, so that the insect mothers can make plans based on the goal and achieve the master's will at all costs.
"Since there is nothing in the cave, let's continue with the previous mission goal, scatter all the King Insects out, and find the way to the Bone Burial Ground. If there are any suspicious paths, please report to me quickly."
Xue Hua looked around and gave orders directly to the insect mother in the main nest mental network.
"Your will will be realized!"
Tunam neighed, transmitting the Lord's orders and his own tactical plan as a middle-level commander.
The King Insects suspended in the stratosphere of the Sanctuary Continent dispersed in several directions in the blink of an eye and began to search for their way in a carpet-like search.
"Tunum, you take the insect swarm and continue hunting along the path opened by the Supervisor King Insect. Remember, try your best to preserve the power of the insect swarm, and try to avoid humans. If you are discovered, you are not allowed to
Take the initiative to launch an attack, but if you are attacked, I allow you to fight back, but try to capture them alive, do you understand?"
"Your order is the will of the insect swarm, the master."
