"What's wrong?"

Seeing Ye Ren's headache complaining, Bai Mengmeng leaned over and asked.

"Nutrient problems. Ye Ren said indifferently, "Now there are more and more insects, and the amount of food needed every day is unimaginable, but although this underground cave is very large, not to mention this, even the Amazon jungle may not be able to supply the food source of the insect nest, because there are humans in many places, and the insects must avoid humans, so it is very troublesome." ”

"Isn't it Leviathan?"

Bai Mengmeng already knew about Leviathan's plan to transport food from the sea, so he asked.

"Leviathan's body is getting bigger and bigger, so this point will become more and more troublesome, and it will definitely not be a long-term solution. Ye Ren sighed and said: "According to the current size of the Leviathan, I expect that at least its size will be more than 100 meters, and it will be discovered even if it enters the Amazon basin at that time, and it is also very troublesome for the queen to send alien insects to fetch food, and if it is discovered, it will explode instantly." ”

"What kind of explosion is it like to explode in an instant..."

Bai Mengmeng raised his forehead: "Since the digging ability of the alien insects is so strong, why don't you just order them to dig a tunnel and connect it directly to the mouth of the sea..."

"Huh?"

Ye Ren's eyes lit up, but he quickly frowned again, "It's not close to the seaside here, so isn't this amount of work a bit large?"

"But that's at least a solution. ”

Bai Mengmeng spread her hands and said.

"Hmm... That's right. Ye Ren nodded: "Anyway, this method will be kept first, and we will go to the insect queen first." ”

"Okay. ”

Bai Mengmeng didn't have any opinion on this, so the two of them began to walk in the direction of going back.

Because the bat cave is not far from the center of the cave where the queen is located. Ye Ren and Bai Mengmeng didn't spend much time, and soon returned to the place where the insect queen was.

At this moment. The queen was still faithfully carrying out Ye Ren's orders, and her huge abdomen was slowly squirming. Then he laid a black and round oocyst, which was broken open with a pop, and a cockroach-shaped insect the size of a palm crawled out of it, sucking the remaining liquid in the oocyst while eating the whole deflated oocyst.

Obviously, now is a period of resource shortage, even if it is a small insect that has just been born, you must learn to be diligent and thrifty, you must know that sometimes these small insects do not eat oocysts, and directly eat insect nectar or nutrient solution.

"Squeak~"

When the insect queen saw Ye Ren coming back, she immediately chirped happily. I wasn't in the slightest sad about the death of the previous worm.

"You see, the queen herself is not sad because of the dead insects. Ye Ren stepped forward and gently stroked the warm and smooth head of the insect queen, then turned to Bai Mengmeng and said.

"Eh......"

Bai Mengmeng was also stunned, and then looked at the insect queen and subconsciously asked, "Why?"

"Because the queen is not a human being, she will not use this set of human beings to judge problems. Ye Ren smiled lightly, and then explained: "The thinking of the insect queen is not high, she only stayed at the price that I used dozens of alien insects in exchange for countless food, which is enough to support the daily consumption of a large number of alien insects, so the death of these dozens of alien insects is very worthwhile." That's all. ”

“… All right. ”

Bai Mengmeng seemed to finally understand some society, and after sighing, she could only nod: "I'm sorry, I thought too much." ”

"It's okay, I'll teach you these things. ”

Ye Ren touched Bai Mengmeng's little head. comforted: "Good." ”

"Squeak~"

After seeing Ye Ren's movements here, the insect queen didn't know what was wrong, and suddenly stretched out a small arthropod and touched Ye Ren. Then a burst of information followed the mental link to Ye Ren's mind.

"Hmm...... This is?" Ye Ren was stunned for a moment, the message from the queen was a little interesting.

"What's wrong?"

Bai Mengmeng felt the change in Ye Ren. After getting along with Ye Ren for so many days, she has long been accustomed to Ye Ren's telepathy. Suddenly knowing the ability to know some information and things, he opened his mouth and asked.

"The queen has found something interesting. Ye Ren touched his chin and said.

"What?"

Bai Mengmeng asked.

"A big cave connected to the ocean. ”

Ye Ren can be said to be smiling very happily at the moment.

"Really!" Bai Mengmeng was also very happy, and asked with some surprise.

"Let's go, let's take a look. ”

As soon as Ye Ren beckoned, he directly took Bai Mengmeng to go over and take a look, but of course, he didn't forget to call the coolies: "Queen worm, I'll go over first, you will order to transfer about a hundred ordinary insects in a while, I will be useful." ”

"Squeak~"

The insect queen responded, and then the tentacles flicked, and a circle of invisible information began to spread around it, and the nearby insects began to gather after sensing the summoning of the insect queen.

It's just that Ye Ren didn't wait.

With the address contained in the information transmitted by the queen of insects, Ye Ren took Bai Mengmeng, and the two of them quickly walked through the cave and various large and small caves at a very fast speed, and after going around underground for nearly an hour or two, Ye Ren finally came to the place that the queen of insects said.

"It's a little weird, but it's pretty good. ”

Ye Ren looked at the water surface in front of him like a small pond, and nodded with great satisfaction.

"This is more than 700 meters underground, if this place is really connected to the ocean, it shouldn't be this water level, right?" Bai Mengmeng was not immersed in joy like Ye Ren, but directly pointed out the problem.

"Is that so?"

Hearing Bai Mengmeng's reminder, Ye Ren reacted, he hadn't read the information about this part when he looked for information on the Internet before, so what Bai Mengmeng said was indeed true, but the problem now is that the sea water under this cave is indeed very quiet, and there is no phenomenon such as surging up.

"I shouldn't have gone down to explore here, right?" Ye Ren asked a small insect on the side.

"Squeak..."

The communication ability of the little insect is indeed not as strong as that of the queen worm, but it is still able to communicate after all, Ye Ren learned from it that there is no insect in this small pond that has dived to explore, so he nodded, and the exoskeleton on his body slowly covered the skin again.

"What are you doing?"

Bai Mengmeng saw Ye Ren's actions, and quickly asked, "You don't want to go down and have a look, do you?"

"Why not?"

Ye Ren replied casually, and then replaced one of his remaining two gene slots with a universal lung, and the other with fluorescence, so soon Ye Ren found that his exoskeleton began to glow...

"If you think it's too much trouble for me, you can go back first. ”

After Ye Ren finished speaking, without waiting for Bai Mengmeng to say anything, he jumped directly into the pond, made a pop, and the water splashed and disappeared.

"Then you... Hey, you!" Before Bai Mengmeng could say anything, Ye Ren jumped down, so he simply stomped his feet angrily.

Of course, these Ye Ren will not know.

Ye Ren is now slowly controlling his body and sinking, the surrounding sea water is very clear, and with the help of the faint fluorescence on the top of the exoskeleton, as well as his own excellent inductance, Ye Ren slowly dived while searching, the structure of this underwater passage is very simple, and there is no chaotic cave like the structure of a cave.

Soon, Ye Ren found that the direction of this underwater passage began to change, and the passage that was originally vertically downward began to bend slowly, and then the forks in the road began to increase.

So much so that Ye Ren spent more time studying these forks in the road.

Fortunately, Ye Ren has the ability to induct and never forget, so he can easily go in and out of this complex underwater cave environment at will and will not get lost, otherwise it is a very terrifying thing to lose his way in this kind of place, in fact, it has also been reported on the news that there are many divers who are lost in the underwater cave and can't get out, and then run out of oxygen or are attacked by something and hang up.

Of course, Ye Ren was not afraid of these things at all, but with the help of the special ability of the inductor, he continued to swim slowly towards the front along the right path.

It's just that when Ye Ren swam to the end, he found that it was a dead end, and the front was blocked by a large pile of soaked sand.

So Ye Ren stretched out his hand and dug a few times, but the sand was soft under his exoskeleton-covered hands, so Ye Ren simply took his breath and dug violently, and after almost a few minutes, the whole person suddenly loosened, and the warm and clean sea water poured directly into the cave, dispersing the cold sea water and warming Ye Ren's body.

A beam of sunlight shone straight on Ye Ren's dark exoskeleton.

"This is here?" Ye Ren came out of the cave, then washed the sand on his body, stood up and looked at it suspiciously, only to find that he was standing on a beach at the moment......

"I'll wipe it, I'm really digging it to the beach!"

Seeing the beach where there was no one around, Ye Ren was stunned, this cave is not very long, and it doesn't extend far, but why did he appear on the beach?

You know, I was in the depths of an underground cave more than 700 meters underground, and I ended up drilling a hole and running to the ground, and this hole is not very far.

"Oh, I see. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Ye Ren finally realized that with Ye Ren's IQ, he should have thought it out in an instant, but he ignored this matter because he was too happy before, but now that he thinks about it, it is really like this.

That's because although the cave itself is very deep, but when I was in a hurry, I was actually slowly approaching the surface, but because of my super physical strength and excitement, I didn't notice it at all, and this is why I just dug out of the beach and was stunned. (To be continued......)
