Heavenly Calamity - Chapter 226

[Chapter 72 The Mother of Insects]

The range of insect swarm activities is not limited to insect mountains.

Below several insect mountains is a large-scale cave world.

After several years of development of the Zerg, the cave space has been expanded even more.

There are at least hundreds of passages, crisscrossing each other, groping one by one, without a few days or nights, it is impossible to find out the nest of the insect monsters.

Because most of the insect monsters are very large, and most of the passages are extremely wide, with good ventilation conditions, human activities in the wormhole will not cause suffocation.

The walls of the cave are covered with glowing green slime, or slippery moss with the ability to glow, boulders or crevices are everywhere, easy to hide, and not too difficult to explore.

The three of them followed the nanny bug, probably not a fighting type of bug relationship. The nanny bug was unresponsive and had very low alertness. They were not found to be tracked from beginning to end. After several passages, I finally entered a particularly huge underground tunnel.

“It’s really amazing!”

This passage is about 12 meters long, wide and high. The cave is obviously heavily guarded. There are fighting insects every tens of meters. In addition to the insect soldiers standing guard, there are also patrols walking back and forth. When the babysitter arrives, retreat immediately. Enter the caves on both sides of the passage and let the babysitter go first.

Zhang Mu knew that it would not work if he rushed over directly. He looked left and right and said, “Let’s climb over from above, be careful and don’t make any noise!”

Zhang Mu walked to the rock wall on the left, took out a few sticks of mucus from a small pit and smeared it all over his body. This kind of mucus is a little disgusting, but it can cover up the smell and prevent the spread of body temperature. According to Zhang Mu’s observation , most bugs have poor eyesight, but can use sound and temperature to lock on to their prey.

Grab a piece of stalactite and start climbing. The stalactite is eroded all the year round, and it is smooth. The three people must be careful to stumble. There are too many bugs in this passage. If they are disturbed, then they will not pass.

Fortunately, the size of the human race is nothing in front of the giant insect. When it is covered with mucus, as long as it does not make too much noise, the giant insect will not notice a few figures jumping around.

Zhang Mu avoided the patrolling insect soldiers and finally came to the end of the passage. It was a huge hole. After walking in, a whole new world appeared in front of the three of them.

This scene is too shocking. A huge underground space is at least the size of three or four regular football fields. There are about ten passages all around.

It’s not the size of the cave that is surprising, but what’s inside the cave.

The ground, walls, and densely packed, all are full of insect eggs, as many as five or six thousand by visual inspection!

These worm eggs are about the size of a washbasin, with a light green surface. They are neatly arranged and divided into four areas. Each piece of worm eggs is managed by eight giant pink worms. In the group, take care of every worm egg carefully. Whenever a larva breaks an egg, they will go over to bring the larva out, and finally send it to the breeding room—that is, the cave that Zhang Mu had just visited!

In the middle of the underground space, there stood a majestic and tall mountain of meat. There was no creature at all. There were more than a dozen worms covered in pitch black and full of thorns, guarding meticulously beside them.

Zhang Mu got closer, and finally found the giant pink worm that took care of the eggs, called the brood worm.

As for the “Roat Mountain” in the middle, Zhang Mu didn’t dare to approach it easily. Although he didn’t know what it was, it was just a mass of several hundred tons of meat, squirming like life. Here, nothing is good.

Zhang Mu approached carefully, using an advanced insight from a distance.

“Strange, why is it a plot monster?”

Zhang Mu didn’t have time to be surprised when a prompt sounded in his mind.

“There are new tasks released, please pay attention to the task bar”

There are new missions released!

Wang Ling lowered his voice and said, “We received a mission, what’s the matter?”

Zhang Mu has closed the task bar, closed his eyes slightly, and started to ponder. It is not a hidden task, but an optional world task. The so-called world task can be understood as a separate task in the secret world, independent of the main line.

It is not directly related to the main line. It is a character in the secret world. There is a word “side mission” that is better understood!

There are only three kinds of quests in Killing Mystery Realm, to put it bluntly, main quests, side quests, and hidden quests.

The main quest is mandatory, and if the main quest is not completed, it will be regarded as a failure of the secret realm challenge and will be severely punished.

Side quests are additional quests and are quests that exist in the secret world. They are not directly related to the main quest, and their completion will not affect the main quest, or it will only have a weak impact.

Hidden quests, as the name suggests, are quests hidden in the mainline. If the hidden plot is fully triggered, the mainline quest will change.

Side missions and hidden missions are generally not easy to trigger, and even some secret realms do not have side missions or hidden plots.

Compared with hidden tasks, side quests have much looser conditions. Once the hidden story is triggered, it must continue. After the side story is triggered, it can be optional or not.

However, the side quests are equally rewarding. If they can be completed, Zhang Mu does not want to give up.

Zhang Mu told the two of the situation.

Scorpion said in a hoarse voice: “This is the core of the worm’s lair. It is heavily guarded and dangerous. Even if we use the power of the barbarians, we may not be able to kill him, and we may pay a heavy price for it. It’s not worth it.”

Zhang Mu didn’t give up, he just said, “Look at it for a while and then talk about it.”

The three found a crack in the rock, and only one person could burrow into it. The insects would never get in, and they hid in the crack.

Zhang Mu remembered the worm’s trajectory after observing it once: “It’s a bit tricky!”

The queen herself cannot move, and her various attributes are extremely weak. Only her spirit is strong, allowing it to control thousands of bugs.

From this, it is not difficult to judge that the strength of the queen of insects is not in itself.

There are many high-level existences in this Zerg population, and they are fully equipped with lord-level strength. The power of the queen of insects lies in dominating the entire clan, and the aggregated overall strength is far stronger than a lone golden lord!

However, Zhang Mu has always believed in an unchanging truth, that is, in the secret realm of killing, there cannot be an unsolvable situation.

First, the intelligence of the queen is not too high.

Second, the swarm is fatally flawed.

The first point is easy to explain. If the queen has the ability to think and is smart enough, when Zhang Mu hypnotizes the king, he only needs to command a few insects next to him to attack the king, and the king will be woken up immediately. King’s order.

The second point is more obvious, no matter what kind of bug, the mental attribute is very low, and the resistance to various illusions is low, including the bug king.

Zhang Mu was confused at first, but now he finally understands the reason. The queen of insects needs to control tens of thousands of people in the entire clan. If every insect has a strong mental resistance, the queen of insects will die from exhaustion.

Since the birth of the insect swarm, the resistance to spiritual energy is almost 0. In this way, the insect swarm has a fatal weakness, unable to resist the attack of spiritual spells, and it is easy to be disturbed by illusions!

Zhang Mu said in a low voice, “I’ll go over and test the depth of the worms first. You stay where you are. No matter what happens, don’t act rashly!”

Scorpion and Wang Ling went into stealth, Zhang Mu walked out from the crack in the rock, and approached the queen carefully, trying to measure the alert range of the queen, but Zhang Mu went all the way to 300 meters before the queen, and there was still no sign of detection.

It is impossible to move forward, otherwise it will be caught by the guards of the queen.

Several nanny worms walked to the front of Roshan, and at the same time spit out the “nutrient solution” swallowed in their stomachs and fed them to the queen to eat.

“I can’t find me in this way?” Zhang Mu was a little stunned. “The queen doesn’t seem to have sensory functions, nor does she have the ability to perceive the spirit beyond the senses. So, what method does it use to detect the outside world?”

Zhang Mu cautiously walked out of the corner. In front of him was a huge brooding worm, taking care of a group of eggs on the ground.

Zhang Mu suddenly thought of a possibility, and slowly walked towards the brood worm, about 50 meters away, Zhang Mu stomped his foot gently and made a sound.

The brood worm immediately felt it, screamed “squeak”, turned his head sharply, and stared at Zhang Mu with small red eyes.

“Gollum…”

At the same time, Roshan trembled for a while, and the bodyguard worm, who had his back to Zhang Mu, turned around suddenly, the roaring carapace suddenly opened, and it rose into the air and flew towards Zhang Mu.

“Damn, this guy can fly!”

At the moment when the guard worm executes the order, the spiritual wave of the queen is released.

Zhang Mu didn’t have time to escape, that mental power entered his brain, his will suddenly sank, and he had a strong feeling of falling asleep – hypnosis!
