"Leviathan hurt?"

Bai Mengmeng's brain turned, and he directly sorted out his clue and asked, "Bai and I also consumed a lot of that insect honey before, which means that the insect queen has nothing to eat now?"

"Almost. ”

Ye Ren scratched his head: "So the current situation is more difficult, I decided not to train you from tomorrow, you are free to help catch some food for insects in the forest, and wait until the first few days are over, I estimate that it won't take long for Leviathan to come around here." ”

"Isn't the Leviathan injured?"

Bai Mengmeng was stunned for a moment, just now Ye Ren said that Leviathan couldn't come over, how could he come over again now.

"It's an injury, and it's a serious injury that almost hung up. Ye Ren nodded: "However, Leviathan's vitality is comparable to that of cockroaches, so there is nothing big now, but it has been delayed for a while because of some things, as long as it lasts for a few days, it is estimated that Leviathan can come over." ”

"I see..."

Bai Mengmeng nodded, she hadn't seen the scene of the Leviathan fighting with the Sea Emperor Giant Squid, so she didn't know how tragic it was, and she didn't have much reaction.

"Then what are we going to do now?" After thinking about it, Bai Mengmeng asked.

"Now..."

Ye Ren glanced at the sky, it was already dark when he was on his way, and now it was even darker, and the sky was covered with countless stars, so he said, "Eat something today and rest, if there is anything to talk about tomorrow." ”

"Don't you have to catch what you eat?"

Bai Mengmeng thought about it, and sure enough, she had to do everything by herself in the forest.

"No, I brought some fruit back. Ye Ren directly took out a large pile of fruit wrapped in leaves. There are so many kinds of fruits in it that even Ye Ren doesn't know what their names are. A whole bunch of colorful berries and tropical fruits, and some crisp white palm cores. Although it doesn't taste particularly good to chew, it's better than gnawing on the bark and is rich in carbohydrates as well as fiber.

"Let's eat fruit tonight, I always eat barbecue or something these days, eat some fruit to clear my stomach." ”

Ye Ren explained casually.

But in fact, I am a little lazy and don't want to take care of the food.

"Hmm... It's good. Bai Mengmeng naturally didn't think about it so much, and nodded after seeing the fruits: "It's really a little tired these days, these fruits look pretty good." ”

"That's good. ”

Ye Ren nodded, picked up a palm core casually and gnawed it. It didn't taste very good, like chewing cardboard, but the nutrition was okay, so I ate it in a big gulp.

Soon, a small packet of wild fruits was eaten by the two, Ye Ren stretched his waist and said to Bai Mengmeng: "How about it, do you want to go to the insect queen to take a look, the current scale of the insect nest should be almost established." I'm going to go down and have a look, and if you want to see it, I'll take you down. ”

"Huh?"

Bai Mengmeng said while eating the fruit like a blueberry, "Okay." Then I'll go down and have a look, yesterday... Didn't see much ......."

After saying that, the voice became quieter and quieter, and finally there was no movement at all.

"Good. Let's go. Ye Ren nodded, and didn't notice Bai Mengmeng's somewhat shy tone. stood up directly from the ground, and then dragged Bai Mengmeng up from the ground with one hand. Together, they walked towards the entrance of the hive not far away.

"In the future, the entrance to this lair should be covered up. ”

Ye Ren paid great attention to concealment, so he began to talk to himself as soon as he got out of the cave, and this was not just talking to himself, while these words were spoken, Ye Ren also used the spiritual link to communicate with the queen worm in his heart, so these words will be remembered by the queen worm.

"This cave... What a deep feeling......"

Bai Mengmeng sighed when she saw the deep caves around her that could barely reach her fingers.

"yes, I don't know how deep this thing is digging after the worm. Ye Ren casually explained: "I plan to start digging the prototype of the base under the insect nest, I have looked at the surrounding terrain and geological structures before, most of them are rock structures, very solid. ”

"Is it underneath the hive?"

Bai Meng nodded cutely: "In other words, the insects in the hive are the best guards in the base?"

"That's right. ”

Ye Ren smiled: "And didn't you notice, even if we come to such a deep underground, we don't have difficulty breathing, which shows that the insect has built a large number of vents in very hidden places, although the entire crypt structure looks disorganized, but the layout is actually very reasonable, such as this." ”

As he was talking, Ye Ren suddenly reached out and dug from the dirt wall on the side, and cut off a gray-brown clod of soil, but this clod of soil was a little strange, and there was some luster circulating on it.

"Look at this. ”

Ye Ren handed over the clod of soil in his hand.

"Huh?" Bai Mengmeng curiously took the clod of soil, took the rechargeable portable lamp (prepared by Bai Mengmeng before, using Ye Ren's electric muscle to charge), and carefully checked it with the help of the light source of the portable lamp, and then frowned and asked, "This is... Amber or something?"

"Amber, a special lipid substance secreted by alien insects, can coagulate and harden into stearin with decent strength. ”

Ye Ren smiled and explained: "It seems that the insects use it like I thought, most of them mix the soil with amber, and then stir it well and reapply it to the cave to strengthen the stability of the cave. ”

"This bug is simply a natural architect..."

Bai Mengmeng looked at the amber clod in his hand with some surprise: "I remember that termites seem to have similar means to build their nests, I have seen their nests built on the African savannah on TV before, but the bodies of these insects are almost thousands of times the size of termites, so the nests built are simply amazing." ”

"When I was a kid, I had a dream of going inside an ant's nest and seeing how they tunneled, but now I see that dream has come true. ”

Ye Ren casually stroked the little insect that had been crawling over, and said: "So sometimes don't give up on your dreams, no matter how incredible it is, but then again, digging a tunnel or a secret base is simply a little boy's romance!"

"How can there be such a form of romance......"

Bai Mengmeng is now casually complaining: "How did I hear that the romance of the little boy is a drill." ”

"That's TM a man's romance, it's not the same. ”

Ye Ren casually defended, and then took Bai Mengmeng to a small cave and turned left and right, the complexity of this cave was simply beyond Ye Ren's calculations, even if Ye Ren's own memory was very good and even to the point of unforgettable, he almost got lost in the cave at this moment.

In the end, thanks to the telepathy between him and the queen worm, he found the other party's position.

It's just that Ye Ren was a little surprised that the queen of worms actually moved again.

And this time the place is a little magical, it turned out to be an extremely large natural karst cave structure, and the scale of this karst cave is so huge that even Ye Ren was a little surprised.

It's also a coincidence, the queen of insects itself does not know that there is a natural cave structure underground, but the area of the nest before the insect queen is not large enough, so she simply leads a large number of insects to continue digging down, and strives to make the entire nest structure hundreds of meters deep underground.

Although it is quite puzzling to say that there is a karst cave seven hundred meters underground, but the insect queen does not care about this, although it is smarter than Leviathan, but after all, it cannot reach the human level, so it will not think about these puzzling places, but directly send the insect down to investigate.

The environment of this underground cave is good, there are several underground water veins passing through it, and a large number of bats and insects grow here quite well, and there are many of them, which can be used as a food source for some alien insects.

But the area of this cave is a bit surprising, even if the queen has sent more than half of the insects in the hive into it to explore, but so far, it is still not clear how big the specific area of this cave is, because the whole cave structure itself is as strange as a labyrinth.

Fortunately, these insects can sense the location of the queen of insects, and they can dig a path directly in the rocks, so even if they get lost, they can dig a way back to the queen of insects.

It's just that in this way, the whole cave structure is more complex and changeable.

"I'll rub it, the queen of worms, your character is simply going against the sky. After Ye Ren and Bai Mengmeng came to the cave, Ye Ren immediately began to praise the insect queen: "With such a big environment, it is almost possible to migrate the insects in the entire nest here." ”

"Squeak~"

The insect queen screamed, and then a burst of information was transmitted to Ye Ren along with the psychic link.

"Hmm, haven't you explored the entire area of this place until now?" Ye Ren nodded after hearing the information conveyed by the insect queen: "It's okay, don't worry, you don't need to expand the underground space now, you just explore all the neighborhood, this cave looks good, you can develop here." ”

"The ecology here is a little weird, how can there be an underground river so far from the ground?"

Bai Mengmeng has learned a lot of knowledge during this time, and after seeing the surrounding environment at this moment, she immediately frowned: "It feels a little strange." ”

"Maybe nature is more magical. ”

Ye Ren shrugged his shoulders and said. (To be continued......)
