Chapter 45: Ferrin's Underground
In the star system where Ferin is located, in the universe outside the third planet, a great battle of the living fleet is slowly coming to an end.
The First Fleet of the Swarm and the Sarnagar Fleet fought a fierce battle in this cosmic void, and the final result of the battle ended in a complete victory for the Swarm.
But the problem is that, in fact, the Sarnagar fleet did not suffer many losses either.
The core and most important force in the entire Sarnagar fleet is their commander and flagship, the Obelisk warship that is pregnant with the giant serpent.
But in this battle, the flagship of Sarnagar's fleet chose to abandon its entire fleet very decisively in order to cover its retreat.
This means that the value of that flagship is probably much greater than that of the entire fleet combined......
Therefore, although this Star Wars swarm has achieved a near-complete victory, in fact, the enemy is just a golden cicada out of its shell, and there is really nothing to celebrate.
In the face of this result, to be honest, Xue Hua felt a little unhappy, but he couldn't help it, after all, what Stokoff said was very reasonable, the strength of the two fleets just now was equal, and although the First Fleet had a slight advantage in tactics, it was not an overwhelming advantage.
Therefore, if the enemy flagship has made up its mind to break the wrist of the strong man and abandon the car to protect the commander, then they actually have no good way to stop it.
Now that the matter has come to this, there is actually nothing to regret, at least this time the First Fleet has won, and successfully eliminated all the other fleet ships except the flagship, which can be regarded as weakening the power that Sarnagar has arranged in this universe.
And most importantly, even if they get all the resources on Ferin Planet without much effort, they can be considered to have perfectly fulfilled the main goal of this mission.
... Although not only did he not invade Fei Lin, but also avenged the life of Randoka, who was completely destroyed, at least in this way, Xue Hua can also be said to be justified in taking those dark gold.
Immediately after all the battles were over, Stokoff ordered the king bugs in the fleet to land on the side of the planet Ferrin with their workers and swarms on the ground with their backs to the star, quickly remove the gold from the planet's core and prepare to evacuate.
The swarm was quite efficient, and soon after Stokoff's order, a detachment landed on the cooler north side of the planet Ferrin.
As with the information obtained by the swarm before, the environment on this planet is quite poor, with almost all the conditions that are unfavorable for the survival of organic life, and even the swarm units can only barely survive on the surface of the planet.
The commander of the landing force led his swarm through the first gaseous surface of Ferin and soon descended to the second surface in a roaring storm, and then they found that the second surface of the planet was even more exaggerated than they had imagined.
The hard, metallic ground polished by the storm was filled with bottomless caverns, large and small, some of which were spewing strange flashes of color.
The Mother Worm Commander chose the largest cave nearby and led the swarm into it, and they walked a little further along the cavern, avoiding a number of sudden chemical explosions along the way, and after about two hours of advancement, they finally found the meeting point between this cave and the other caves.
However, at this time, the swarm's Watchdog Bugs were no longer able to provide them with effective terrain data, because the energy hurricane that erupted on the first gaseous surface of Planet Ferrin severely affected the Watcher Kingworm's field of vision, weakening their perspective ability a lot.
In other words, from this time on, the ground forces of this swarm can only find their own way forward.
However, the surface of the second layer of the planet is completely a super labyrinth that extends in all directions, and various caves crisscross it, and it is completely unknown which one is the real passage to the core of the planet.
The leading worm mother had no choice but to choose those passages that went all the way down, hoping to go all the way to the core of the planet.
Of course, it has also tried to use the swarm's burrowing ability to dig directly into the core of the planet, but the solid metal formation inside Ferin is extremely hard, and it is difficult to dig even with the strength of the swarm.
These metal substances made of unknown components are resistant to acid and compression, and it is very difficult to excavate, and it is estimated that it will take at least half a year to reach the core of the planet by excavation.
The First Fleet can't afford to take that long, so the Mother Worm has no choice but to try her luck.
However, what is surprising is that this time the god of luck seems to be really on the side of the swarm, and after the loot recovery force sent by the swarm has been shuttling through those caves for nearly two days, the infected people who accompanied them suddenly sensed the residual psionic aura unique to Landoca's life floating in the cave in front of them.
They immediately followed the aura, and then quickly stepped out of the dark narrow passages and into a brighter, wider network of passages.
The walls of these new passages are inlaid with several glowing mineral stones at intervals, each emitting a different light.
Led by the Mother Worm, the swarm troops followed one of the passages inlaid with light red stones into the center of a large hall, and in the center of this hall, they found a very bizarre model of a hollowed-out gemstone polyhedron that resembled a map of the tunnel network.
In this model, there are clearly marked lines in various colors, including one golden line, all of which lead straight to the center of the polyhedral model.
This is clearly the work of Landoca's life, perhaps because the network of passages beneath the surface of the second layer of Ferin is so complex that they only know the direction of passage for the part of the network that is closest to the inner layer.
This model of the channel network was supposed to be a "map" they had created to prevent the newborn life of the clan from getting lost in the extensive channel network, but now this "map" is convenient for the swarm to find their planetary core.
Mother Worm immediately sent her swarm to find a passage inlaid with golden gems, and soon the swarm sent out found the tunnel inlaid with golden gems.
The swarm immediately followed the passage all the way deeper, and soon they felt the unique aura coming from the core of the planet.
Moreover, there are more and more gems and mineral crystals on the road, and there are even scattered dark gold crystals appearing on the stone walls on both sides of the tunnel.
The insect mother ordered the insect swarm under her command to collect all the scattered dark gold crystals and other valuable crystals one by one, and continue to move forward while collecting.
After several more days of traveling, they finally reached the outermost layer of the core of Ferlin, where the tunnel walls were almost entirely made up of various colorful gemstones.
