There was no interrogation or search, and as he had seen before, the little demon in the form of Moriarty slowly walked into the entrance of the wormhole with a slitter of caravers. However, when he crossed an invisible line, the cyan moonlight that originally shone from the top of his head was suddenly obscured by the "Insect Cocoon Tower", and all the qiē also fell into a deep darkness.

Cold, damp, smelly...

When he actually entered the wormhole, Moriarty felt a completely different environmental feature from the outside world, which made people very uncomfortable. At the same time, there is a strange smell in the air, as if it has some kind of stickiness and humidity, and once it sticks to your body, it is difficult to wave it away, like an invisible layer of snot.

Fortunately, the inside of the wormhole is not completely dark.

In at least one area near the entrance of the cave, a specially placed torch is inserted into the wall of the cave to serve as illumination. However, the flames of all the torches are turquoise, not only are they not bright, but they are constantly flickering, making the qiē in the wormhole look like a ghost.

And further in, there is no such thing as a torch, and everything returns to darkness, and it is no longer clear what it looks like.

All the little demons will be under the command of the beetle warriors, and the materials they carry will be placed in different designated locations in the lighting area. At the same time, he took a "Sandos Egg" and turned around and left directly outside the cave.

"Sure enough, the accessible area for the little demon slave is only limited to the outermost part of the first layer."

Moriarty's avatar is already a demigod attribute, and his gifted transcendent gaze naturally has dark vision, which can pass over the many unloading little demon slaves, and look through the one behind the illuminated area, but he can't help frowning.

Because in his field of vision, the first layer of the wormhole in front of him was only the tip of the iceberg. Because it's in the darkness far away. One passage after another leading to the cave wall was scattered irregularly, and countless beetles came and went in and out of these passages, which seemed very busy.

These beetles resemble beetle warriors, but they don't have any special combat power, but they have a lot of strength. When they come to the illuminated area, they will use their thick and powerful methyl forelimbs to grab a piece of ore or squeeze flesh. Then he turned back to the passage, and walked away quickly, and so on.

So, the entire wormhole floor looks like a busy logistics center. Supplies from the outside are brought in and paid for, while internal porters efficiently transport the goods deeper underground for processing.

Moreover, in front of those passages leading to the true core area of the wormhole, there are "two pairs" or even "three pairs" level beetle warriors guarding and guarding. Not only did he observe the passage with his sharp compound eyes, but he also frequently used the silky antennae protruding from his head to touch the beetle porter entering the passage to determine his "legitimate" identity. This method of detection of biological hormones and odors is often extremely effective and difficult to imitate. Because the genes of these bugs are so special, they can't be completely simulated by ordinary demons.

Of course, for Moriarty, such precautions were of no avail, because the "Feather of Transformation of Basil Ray" could simulate the life characteristics of any living being, and this simulation was so perfect that even the poles were difficult to identify.

When it's about to be the turn of a little demon slave to unload the ore from his body and receive the white eggs. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in from outside the cave. For a moment, the turbulent wind blew the turquoise torches on the cave wall and shook violently. It's almost extinguished. Seeing this, the surrounding beetle warriors immediately became alert, and their eyes turned to the direction of the cave entrance at the same time, in case something took the opportunity to sneak in.

But just then, a shadow suddenly appeared behind a carrying beetle on the other side. Then, a finger silently plunged into the beetle's body. The beetle froze for a moment. Half a second later, the finger was withdrawn, and at the same time, a trace of black flame penetrated the wound. In the blink of an eye, the body of the beetle carried was inexplicably black, and then suddenly collapsed. Scattered into a small piece of fine black ash, it fell to the ground, and then was completely blown away in the strong piercing wind.

After a few more breaths, the strong wind that suddenly blew into the wormhole finally stopped, and the sway of the torch's flame was stabilized again. At this time, the beetle warrior's compound eyes turned back, and they saw the same calm scene as before, so they continued to direct the little demon slave to unload.

But no one noticed that one of the little demons who kept coming in and out had disappeared.

At the same time, an ordinary-looking carab carrying a large piece of high-grade iron ore followed the other beetles into a pitch-black passage. And the beetle warrior who was guarding at the entrance of the passage just tapped its body with its tentacles and let it go directly.

"Although it does not have direct combat ability, the value of the 'Feather of Transformation' is incalculable."

Moriarty, who instantly turned into a demon beetle, lowered his head and walked into the passageway, while secretly thinking.

Since obtaining this treasure, Moriarty has successfully played the role of a minotaur, a dark elf, a devil, a little demon, and now a humanoid beetle, which has easily passed the inspection of the beetle warriors. It can be said that the "Basil Ray's Feather of Transformation" is the most efficient and cost-effective treasure to use, especially when in enemy territory. If he had to choose, Moriarty would rather give up the super treasure "Mrak's Silver Crossblade" than keep the "Feather of Transformation".

Next, following the beetle in front of him, Moriarty continued to move through the dark passage. Because the passage is not wide, it can only be used for one way, and there are no forks along the route, so there is no risk of getting lost.

However, it is clear that the passage is constantly descending, and the slope is not small. A few minutes later, Moriarty estimated that his level had dropped by at least a few tens of meters. And for some reason, the structure of this passage reminded him of the underground world of Nigon. Although the passage of the wormhole is far from being comparable to the natural tunnel of Nigon in terms of scale, it has a bit of déjà vu in terms of face and sense.

After another minute of walking, the slender passage finally came to an end, and Moriarty saw another large and wide underground cavern.

This cave covers an area of nearly 10,000 square meters, just like another Dark Sun Ptolemaic Square, and at the same time, the cave is more than ten meters high, and there is no sense of oppression.

One can imagine how much work would have to be required to excavate such an astonishing underground space. Even with a large number of beetles that are proficient in earth and stone work. It's never easy. In particular, the entire second floor of the wormhole is not supported by a single column, and it is completely "naturally suspended", which shows that it must have undergone some special process or even spell setting. Otherwise, the weight of hundreds of millions of tons of soil and rock alone is enough to crush one qiē.

After entering the second floor of the wormhole, the carrying beetles begin to "part ways".

All of the beetles carrying the ore are to the left, which is divided into hundreds of subspaces by a low rock wall. And in every space, there is a whole body of insect beetle black and bright. A large, bloated strip-shaped beetle.

Following the other beetles, Moriarty also walked into a compartment and placed a large piece of rough iron ore in his hand in front of the long beetle.

Immediately, as if smelling a deadly delicacy, the long beetle, which had been like a dead sleep, woke up at once, and then struggled to move its heavy body, swooped down in front of the ore that had just arrived, and then, like a hungry tiger, directly opened four sharp mouthparts that were staggered up and down, like guillotines. Like biting meat, he picked up a piece of ore the size of a millstone, and then twisted it violently.

Immediately, the whole piece of ore is completely chopped up like cheese. Then the striped beetle opens its mouth and sucks the chopped ore into its mouth, followed by a stiff chew, and finally swallows it directly.

In just half a minute, a whole piece of iron ore disappeared into the mouthparts of the strip beetle.

And after eating a large portion of the ore, the striped beetle did not immediately pounce on the next piece. Instead, he inexplicably began to writhe worm's body violently, as if digested after a meal.

Just a few minutes later. At the discharge and discharge port under the strip beetle, high-purity steel particles are "pulled" out and scattered. Immediately, a beetle warrior stepped forward to collect the "excrement" and send it out of the small compartment.

After resting for a moment, the strip beetle pounced on another piece of ore in high spirits. Repeat the process just now.

"It's beetles to refine metal! This is already the category of 'biosmelting'! ”

In the corner, Moriarty watched as the strip beetle ate the ore sent in pieces over and over again, and then "pulled" out a variety of intact metal products, including steel, zinc lead, manganese crystals, and even a small amount of rare metals. Moriarty felt horrified.

In the past, in some magical texts, there were also early generations of alchemists who proposed the idea of using biological properties to refine substances or alchemical processing, but no one actually succeeded. Because this requires extremely high technical support, and even involves biological modification and even innovation, it has almost stepped into the forbidden area of the gods. Therefore, this illusion of biological alchemy was only popular for a while, and then few people mentioned it.

But now, in the hundreds of subspaces that appeared in front of Moriarty, a special long beetle was really devouring minerals and excreting metal products.

At such a glance, Moriarty even vaguely felt that what he saw was a busy and efficient alchemy workshop, where large-scale raw materials were transformed into semi-finished products at almost zero cost.

"Who the hell is Sandos!?"

Even without any evidence, Moriarty was sure that the demon scarab must be an alchemist, and most likely the long-vanished "Great Alchemist". Otherwise, who else could achieve this near-miraculous large-scale biological alchemy?

"Well, let me see what shocking things are hidden on the other side of this 'second floor'."

After pausing for a moment, Moriarty turned into a shadow, leaving the small cubicle before and walking to the other side. And at this moment, a humanoid beetle of gold and silver suddenly came out of a passage and was looking at him.

Moriarty couldn't help but be stunned. (To be continued......)

PS: I'm sorry, I opened a boring single chapter. However, some things must be explained first, otherwise it will be bad for everyone. In addition, I would like to ask real book lovers to continue to support this book. The elephant asks for a subscription, and I don't dare to ask for other monthly passes, recommendations, etc. Thank you.
