Through the desert of the Glittering Plains, bidding farewell to the winds and sands of Tanaris, and stepping through the dense forests of the Angolo Ring, Hogg finally arrived at Cthun's seat of Silysus, which is the same as Tanaris is an endless desert, the only difference is that there are more cacti in the desert on this side of Silisus, and of course there are more xenomorph swarms. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Hogg learned from Enzos's memories that these hideous-looking bugs were also descendants of the Yaki worms, but after tens of thousands of years of degradation, there was no trace of wisdom and civilization, and they had completely turned into a pack of wild beasts, and even their close relatives, the Chira Zerg, did not recognize the status of these xenomorph swarms, and only used them as hunting dogs.

Carefully dodging these xenomorphs that were used as hounds by the Qila worm people, Hogg slowly approached the beetle wall in his sneak, this huge building does not seem very tall from a distance, but it is still very majestic at close range, and it takes a key to open this door - the quicksand scepter, but Hogg has no idea of getting this key at all.

Hogg knew very well that the Scepter of Quicksand had been shattered by Vandal Deerhelm in the Battle of Quicksand a thousand years ago, and that the pieces were in the hands of the dragons who participated in the Battle of Quicksand, and that if he wanted to restore the Scepter, he had to meet the requirements of the dragons who were insatiable and bored, so Hogg didn't intend to waste time on such a small thing, its purpose was only to get in touch with Cthun, and it didn't have to open the thick wall.

Cthun was buried in the desert of Silitus, so Hogg thought that as long as he kept digging down, he would definitely be able to find Cthun, or find one of Cthun's tentacles, so that he could solve Enzos's task relatively easily, and as for the Qila Worms, it would be better to let them breed quietly behind the beetle wall.

After making up his mind, Hogg began to search for the largest xenomorph nest in Silitsus, according to the habits of these xenomorph swarms, their queens live in underground nests, protected by many guards, so the larger the nest, the deeper it will be dug, and of course, the closer it will be to the prison of Cthun.

In fact, there is no need to look for it, after all, a basin to the east of the beetle wall is the super large xenomorph nest that Hogg is looking for, and when Hogg passed by there before, he was especially careful to bypass the area controlled by this hive, thinking that such a large hive is the top three, if not the largest in Silisus, right?

And the location so close to the wall of beetles is obviously conducive to Hogg's search for Cthun, after all, the closer to Angela, the closer it is to Cthun, so Hogg quietly sneaked into the territory of the xenomorph swarm, and most of the xenomorph swarm guards encountered along the way could not find Hogg in the stealth state, and the few guards who found Hogg were silently pulled out of their souls by Hogg before they could raise the alarm, so Hogg easily broke through the most dense defense line of xenomorphs, And into the underground hive.

The underground hive is the residence of the mother and leader of all xenomorphs, the xeno-empress, so after entering the underground hive, Hogg found that there were significantly fewer guards, only some of the empress's attendants patrolling the complex underground tunnels, and the entire surface of the hive was covered with bug secretions, which looked a little disgusting.

Fortunately, now Hogg is looking at these secretions from the perspective of the sub-unit prophet, and in the eyes of the sub-unit prophet, these secretions full of xenomorph pheromones are actually used to guide the direction of the xenomorph insect swarm, similar to the direction of the road signs, so Hogg followed the direction indicated by the pheromone and sneaked in the direction of the empress's dormitory, Hogg planned to directly devour the empress's soul and replace it with his own incarnation, so that he could directly direct these xenomorph insects to dig underground through the empress, And doing so is easy and time-saving.

The Empress of the Xenomorph Swarm, although she is called the Empress, is just a larger bug in the eyes of other races, and of course, to Hogg, who has transformed into the Prophet of Yaky, the Empress is not only stronger than the other bugs, but also more intelligent.

This can be seen from the pheromones around the empress, the empress's pheromones appear more complicated, and it also contains more news, if the pheromones left by ordinary xenomorphs represent a sentence, then the pheromones left by the empress can be said to be an article, from this point of view, although the xenomorph empress is not smart enough, but she already has the wisdom close to the jackal cubs.

This is also a little strange for Hogg, because according to what he learned from Enzos, the degradation of xenomorph insects is quite complete, so these insects have always been like wild beasts, but now Hogg has seen wisdom in their empress, could it be that these insects have gradually evolved wisdom over a long period of time?

In order to answer this doubt, Hogg decided to keep the soul of this xenomorph insect empress and take a good look at what caused the evolution of these xenomorph insects, but when Hogg extracted the soul of the xenomorph insect queen, he found that a nonexistent consciousness channel was connected to the soul of this xenomorph insect, so Hogg curiously used his soul tentacles to gently touch this consciousness channel, but when Hogg just touched the consciousness channel, this filament-like channel turned into a little white light and disappeared without a trace.

And in the grand hall deep underground, a huge eye that was originally closed suddenly opened, and with the opening of this eye, many small eyes next to it also opened one by one, and the space that was originally full of darkness gradually became brighter with the opening of these eyes, which represented that the ancient god Cthun, who was suppressed here by the Titans of the Pantheon, woke up again after a long hibernation.

The awakened Cthun looked around, its big eyes clearly showed a trace of doubt, it clearly felt a kind of person approaching in its sleep, so it was awakened, but when it woke up, it didn't find anything, although the old gods can sleep, but they don't dream, or should it be said, they don't dream like mortals, so Cthun knows very well that a kind of person is approaching its location, but who will it be?
