【Chapter 238】 Underground Cave, Zerg Cemetery

Qin Song's words were not alarmist, while the soldiers were training, he rode the evil nest spider demon, not to go out for a walk, but to go deep into the forest of the neighboring Daotan Town. The scout was clever about Mons, and unsurprisingly, in the depths of the forest, he found the orc vanguard migrating to the edge, and further afield, the orc camp no less large than the Blackstone Territory.

The Flesh Eater, as its name suggests, is the food it grows and thrives on. Once Daotan Town is captured, it will provide enough blood food, and the strength of the orcs will increase significantly.

At that point, the Blackstone Collar was targeted.

Population!

Qin Song needs a population.

Flesh Eaters also need population.

Of course, if you want to annex Daotan Town, you must first complete self-preservation. Out of prudence, at Qin Song's suggestion, Leah and Sir Weimar set up a temporary camp near the brickyard and gathered their subordinates together accordingly. In the past, this was a foolish thing to do, because orcs who were good at fighting alone would infinitely increase their lethality once they rushed into a dense crowd.

However, it is different now, after Alice's efforts, Qin Song's warriors will be equipped with at least twenty double-barreled shotguns in two days, and they have a good chance of winning against the impact of small-scale orcs. Coupled with the secret realm training of Linda, Elena and others, the improvement of combat skills will make up for the gap in firepower.

The more guns you have, the more you win. But the corresponding problems also arise.

Ammunition issues.

In the case of a soldier carrying 10 rounds of ammunition, twenty shotguns require 200 rounds of shotguns. Although the copper shell can be recycled, the core of the ammunition, the magic cotton and the blasting magic powder, is starting to be insufficient.

At present, there is only one evil nest spider demon, and with the time of drying, it is not enough at all.

It's time to start raising spiders.

......

"Qin, this cave is too deep, isn't it? ”

After the meeting, Qin Song led Alice to find a suitable place to use as a breeding base. The Evil Nest Spider Demon inherits some of the characteristics of spiders, such as preferring a cool and dim environment, and they should also be a sedentary spider demon, with a certain self-awareness, and can actively go out to hunt and eat.

Therefore, the ideal breeding place is a cave nest, and it should be close to the forest, so that they can hunt independently.

Of course, you can't get too far from the Blackstone Collar.

In the end, Qin Song chose the location in the Black Stone Canyon, which has natural wind erosion caves, which are connected to each other, criss-crossed, and the space is vast, which is simply a natural lair. What's more, this is the choke point of the Blackstone Collar, and the Evil Nest Spider Demon can completely ambush here and become a surprise army.

Holding a torch through the wet and cold cave, Alice couldn't help but shudder, the depth and complexity of the cave in front of her were somewhat beyond imagination. As a rough estimate, the depth is thousands of meters.

"Qin, this place is vast enough, and there is no problem in raising hundreds of spider demons. ”

"It's true that there is enough space here. Qin Song nodded, and his voice kept echoing in the cave: "The food of hundreds of spider demons is the problem. A single spider demon can eat an entire boar in a single meal. Hundreds of spider demons, the amount of food consumed is too great, and they can't afford to raise them at all. ”

"Hundreds of spider demon ......," Alice said, "We can't catch hundreds of wild boars in the Black Stone Collar all year round." That's how much they eat in one meal. ”

"yes. So, we have to provide them not only with a nest, but also with a hunting ground. They can go out and hunt on their own. Qin Song raised the torch, and the flames swayed gently: "The first few caves are also very spacious, but they are not of much value. Mons has scouted that the mountains on both sides of the Black Rock Canyon are connected to the Black Mist Forest, and if you can find a connecting cave, it can become a natural hunting ground. ”

"I understand. Alice nodded: "The reason why those robbers chose to hide in these caves is actually very simple - water source. Many of the caves here are connected to an underground river, which provides them with plenty of water. ”

"Yes, that's the underground river we're looking for. In all likelihood, it connects to the Black Mist Forest. Qin Song smiled and nodded: "Sir Weimar, who once lived here, has provided us with clues. ”

Soon, a huge cave space appeared in front of me, full of rugged strange rocks, and the sound of running water could be faintly heard.

Underground River!

Standing in the cave, the flames of the torches suddenly blew towards the other side, and Qin Song was overjoyed: "Alice, do you feel it? There is wind—this means that there is another exit here." ”

Alice stretched out her hand to feel it, nodded and said, "Indeed." Very cool wind. The underground river should be just ahead. ”

Sure enough, they didn't go far along the cave, and a rushing underground river, from west to east, was turbulent. Accustomed to the cool breeze and coming towards her, Alice only felt refreshed and excited: "If I guess correctly, this underground river is connected to the Komoto River in Daotan Town, which flows all the way to the sea. ”

"Let's go, let's go upstream. ”

The riverside is rugged and the stones are slippery. Alice, who was following Qin Song, was holding a torch in her hand, accidentally stepped on a moving pebble, stumbled suddenly, and as soon as her hand was loosened, the torch fell into the river and was immediately extinguished.

"Be careful, Alice. Qin Song's eyes were quick, and he grabbed her shoulders and held her steady.

"Torch ......," Alice looked frustrated.

"It's okay. Qin Song stretched out his hand gently: "Don't forget, I can also see things at night." The torch in his hand is just to feel the direction of the wind. Come, take me by the hand. ”

"Hmm. Alice didn't squirm at all, she gently held his big hand, felt the warmth of the smooth gem skin, and felt a sweet feeling in her heart.

Not long after walking, there was a hazy light in front of me. As far as the eye can see, at the end of the river, there is a rippling lake with rippling blue waves, and on both sides of the steep mountain walls, the lake is environmentally friendly. This reminded Qin Song of the Enshi Grand Canyon that he had traveled to in later generations, with green mountains and clear waters, rippling lakes, and thousands of walls, and boatmen driving small boats to lead tourists through the caves connected to the underground river.

Unfortunately, without a boat, there is no way to really get out of the cave and enjoy the magnificent scenery.

"Qin, it seems that we have found the right place. Alice said happily, "It is true that people cannot get out of here. But spiders can, they are very good at climbing, and they can go out along the cliffs. And, as far as I know, water means prey. In the forests on the shores of the lake, there must be an inexhaustible supply of prey. ”

It's worth the trip.

Qin Song nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly there was a crisp echo behind him: "Alice, Qin, is it you?"

Looking back, the light of two torches flickered in the distance. It seems that another team consisting of Linda, Luna, and Elena also found this place through the underground river.

"Linda, come and see! there is indeed an exit here. Alice greeted happily.

"Oh no! Oh no!" Luna's babbling voice rang out, "We just saw something horrible. Oh my God, a big, shriveled bug, so disgusting. ”

Big shriveled bugs?

"Luna, what did you see?"

After the meeting, Luna's little face was still in panic, "Elena found a small fork in the road, and when we walked in, we found that there were many hollowed-out nests. There was a very large, crumpled skin sac in the middle, and the remains of limbs like bugs. ”

"Skin?" Qin Song was slightly stunned.

"Yes. Linda also frowned and said, "Qin, that wreckage is very large and covered with dust. But you can still see the sharp claws, like—yes, like a praying mantis. ”

"At least six legs!" Elena added, "They may not be able to see clearly, but I can see very clearly, more than one wreckage." In the deeper places, there are many, and the color is like stone. It was like a bug graveyard, and I even saw a horrible head in it, like a cockroach's head. ”

Zerg?

Qin Song's heart jumped, and then he recalled the criss-crossed, deep and long caves in the Black Stone Canyon, maybe this was not a natural formation, but a digging formation by the Zerg. That said, it's most likely a lair of the Zerg, at least it once was.

"Elena, are there any other discoveries?" Qin Song's heart lifted.

"Nope. Elena shook her head, and then seemed to think of something: "But there is a very strange feeling, and I can't tell." It was as if there was something terrible hidden in the depths of the cavern, which made me feel particularly uncomfortable. ”

"Yes, the buzzing in my ears is like the sound of a piece of iron scraping a stone, and it gives me goosebumps. ”
