I remember that when the maid brought back the book for herself, she didn't take it too seriously.

First of all, I don't know whether the content of the book is true or not, and even if it is true, Shelley doesn't think it's needed, who will run to a dangerous place when they are idle?

“…… I, Nima, really can't be guarded. ”

Shelley crouched on the ground and covered her face, while Scarlet Moon and Nika looked at her blankly.

None of the three of them had read the contents of the book, even if they flipped through it casually, so they couldn't reproduce it even with Scarlet Moon's ability.

So it's embarrassing now, it's just that I don't know the danger here, and now it's reckless to run inside knowing the danger.

"Your Royal Highness, what should we do now? Why don't we go back and get the books? ”

Nika's opinion was relatively safe, but Shelley rejected it.

"It's too late, I've just tried to contact Onetooth, and I'm not in a good state of mind, I'm worried that they're in danger and need to find them soon."

As he was saying this, a little starlight suddenly flashed in the depths of the cave, and when they saw this scene, the three of them immediately became alert, because the message on the ground mentioned that they could not follow the light.

However, one of the four demonic beasts that followed suddenly and involuntarily walked forward, as if attracted by something.

"Oh no, you guys pull it out!"

At Shelley's order, the remaining three beasts immediately grabbed the back of its tail and one of its hind legs and pulled it out of the cave.

When the light disappeared from its sight, it regained consciousness, and at the same time showed a palpitating appearance.

"You're a male?" Shelley asked.

It nodded, and it seemed that it wasn't just for human males, all males would be affected.

"What happened when you just saw that light?"

It shook its head in horror: "I don't have any memory left, but I just have a feeling that I want to pass, and there is no way to resist it." ”

Shelley exhaled deeply and left it alone. Then he said with a heavy face: "At least our females will not be affected, so be careful to go in." ”

After saying that, he took the lead and walked in, and Nika and Scarlet Moon hurriedly followed. The three of them and the three demonic beasts just looked for the light and walked in little by little.

As she walked, Nika became puzzled: "Your Royal Highness Princess, it seems that it is not so dark. ”

Everyone stopped, and Shelley asked Crimson Moon to remove the conjured light, and sure enough, he found that the surroundings were much brighter than the place near the entrance of the cave, and he could see it even without lights.

"No, where's the light source?"

The little starlight ahead was certainly not enough to make this place so bright. Shelley looked around, but found nothing glowing, as if these "stalactites" were glowing on their own.

If you look closer, aren't they glowing?

"The saltpeter wasn't naturally formed, at least not in the way I knew it was, and the place had an inexplicable sense of familiarity."

At this moment, the monsters crowded over.

"Druid, we smell a little blood."

"What!? Out of nowhere? ”

The other party shook his head: "It should have always been there, but it was suppressed a lot by the smell of these things, and now the closer you get inside, the smell of blood begins to be obvious." ”

If there is a sudden smell of blood, it is likely that something happened to Owen and them, and now it seems that it should be fine, and there is nothing new on the side of Onetooth.

But having said that, she didn't let this out of her breathe, after all, this place was getting more and more dangerous.

"We can't delay, let's go."

However, after not taking a few steps, those starlights actually took the initiative to approach them, and when they saw the main owner who emitted these lights, the three girls were all frightened and exclaimed, and they all hid behind a demonic beast.

"Hell, I'm not good at dealing with it......" Shelley pale as he looked at the cockroach-like creatures, the starlight of the tentacles above their heads.

They are said to be like cockroaches, but they are definitely not cockroaches, first of all, from the beginning, they are not comparable to ordinary cockroaches, they are half the size of an adult.

Their terrible pincers could be seen biting from a distance, the hairs on their legs were dense and clear, and the sound of their running made goosebumps all over Shelley's body.

Seeing them approaching, the three demonic beasts all let out a threatening sound, but it was useless to them.

And these cockroaches had no interest in any of them, and all of them bypassed them and rushed in the direction of the cave entrance.

"Not good! Their target is the monster at the door! Shelley, who realized this, hurriedly sent a message through the wolf fangs in his chest, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no response at all.

Only then did she realize that she was a step too late, and the cockroaches were running too fast, especially since they were all so big, and in just such a short time, the cockroaches rushed back with the only male monster on their backs.

Shelley stopped the three beasts from impulsive, climbed on top of one of them and said, "Go, let's follow!" ”

What Shelley didn't expect was that the cave was deeper and bigger than expected, and they ran behind the cockroaches for more than ten minutes without stopping. It can be seen how huge this is inside, and it can be described as an underground world.

Maybe the whole rock basin is all their territory underneath. And Shelley, who was following them, finally determined one thing after observing along the way.

"No wonder I've always had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, these stalactites are most likely their secretions, either feces or saliva. The entire underground space is their own nest. ”

The reason why Shelley judged this way was because she had just felt that the arrangement of these saltpeters was very similar to the nests of ants that she had studied in her previous life.

And through this observation, she found that these cockroach-like creatures are very familiar with the complex terrain in the cave. This is the same as the nature of ants and bees to build their own nests, which is why Shelley dares to judge it this way.

Upon hearing this, both Scarlet Moon and Nika had an uncomfortable look on their faces. It's obviously disgusting.

"But the average cockroach doesn't have such a regular nesting instinct, which proves that these guys just look like cockroaches, and they are a different creature entirely. Scarlet Moon, haven't you found its information yet? "I love Search.com

Scarlet Moon spent all the way looking through the biographic books she had recorded earlier, but unfortunately, the results were not ideal.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, there is no content of this creature in the illustrated book, and it is very likely that it is a new magical beast that has not yet been discovered."

Who knows, as soon as these words were spoken, the three-headed demonic beasts below made a dissatisfied voice.

Shelley also shook his head: "These guys are not Warcraft, if they are Warcraft, they shouldn't be unresponsive to me." However, it is also unlikely that the alien race is humanoid...... I had a bad feeling that it wouldn't be what I thought. ”

While speaking, the cockroaches in front of them finally lowered their speed, and after a while, they entered a very empty place, and after entering here, the three of them made a disgusted sound of "Huh~~~" at the same time.

The cave walls of this large space are densely crawled with these big cockroaches, and although there are no cockroaches on the ground, there are large and small gray glowing balls everywhere, and you can see that these balls are also the same thing as saltpeter

But just as they were still thinking about what the balls were for, the big cockroaches had already given the answer.

I saw that a group of them surrounded the poor demonic beast that had just been dragged in by them, and then sprayed a large amount of white foam from their mouths, rolling it as they sprayed, knowing that they finally sealed it into a huge white ball.

Shelley was very familiar with this practice, and many insect creatures had similar behaviors.

"They're storing food, there's a male wrapped in every ball here, Owen must be in one of those balls!"

"Your Royal Highness, you are waiting here, Scarlet Moon, we will go down and look for it."

"But...... Isn't it too risky to be in front of them? ”

Nima took out a handful of seeds from her satchel: "What are you afraid of!" Just in time for Her Royal Highness the Princess to see my new abilities! ”

"Wait!" Shelley stretched out his hand to hold her, and looked ugly at a dark red platform in the middle of the cavern, "The bad premonition seems to have come true." ”

As he spoke, the three-headed demonic beast also began to roar at the high platform.

This made Scarlet Moon, who was already extremely nervous, even more scared: "What...... What's wrong? Anything about it? ”

As soon as they finished speaking, they saw a pair of women's arms stand up, and then they saw a strange-looking fruit-like beauty sit up and stretch lazily.

After noticing Shelley's presence, her playful and lovely face also showed a look of doubt.

The reason why it looks strange is that although she is beautiful, she has a head beard that no human can have, the pupils of her eyes are all silver-white compound eyes, and there are a pair of open and closing pincers sticking out of her cheeks.

The upper half of her body was just like this, but when she slowly stood up, Shelley and the others noticed that the other party's lower body was clearly a worm body with a fat belly.

If you really want to say it, it's like the back half of a white praying mantis. It is supported by three pairs of praying mantis-like legs.

Half of it is a beautiful woman, and half of it is a praying mantis. Such a strange picture was already terrifying, but when they saw it pick up something and eat it, the three of them almost didn't throw it up.

Because it was clearly a half-gnawed humanoid mutilation, because it was really gnawed beyond recognition, so I couldn't tell whether it was a human or an alien race.

The smell of blood that the demonic beasts smelled seemed to be the source of this, and the reason why the high platform under it was dark red was that the eight achievements were dyed red by blood.

The three of them didn't dare to make too many movements, the whole space was filled with the sound of it gnawing, and even the bones were not put too much, the hard bones looked like candy to it, and they crunchy to chew.

"It's a nice mouth......

"Your Royal Highness, now is the time to talk about this, what is it?" Nika asked quietly.

Shelley smiled bitterly, and from the moment she confirmed that this was their lair, she had a hunch that there must be a queen cockroach here.

Because there are nesting habits and insects that live in groups are basically like this. This is true of ants, bees.

It turns out that she was right, there is indeed a guy who is obviously not easy to mess with, but she didn't expect that the image of this queen would be so far from the cockroaches around her.

To say that its lower body is like a praying mantis, Shelley is still understandable, because the relationship between ordinary praying mantis and cockroaches is originally a parental relationship, strictly speaking, the praying mantis is an evolution of cockroaches.

But what about the human form of the upper body? What does it take to have a hybrid existence like the Chimera? Anyway, Scarlet Moon searched through the records and couldn't find the same.

But it's really humanoid, maybe it's some kind of undiscovered alien race? But not for some reason, Shelley didn't think it was alien.

And at this moment, an even more bizarre scene appeared, only to see that after it ate a few more wreckage, the food squirmed into its fat belly, emitting a faint red light through its belly.

Its features were pressed together, as if it were straining. Immediately after, small balls the size of fists fell out from behind the tail of its lower body.

The cockroaches who saw this scene immediately surrounded them, and very skillfully collected the balls and sent them deeper into the cave.

After doing all this, the mantis woman breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to eat again, and then, the scene just now appeared again.

And this finally made Shelley understand what was going on.

"Oh my God, it's a pregnancy eater, it's impregnating itself by eating male creatures to lay eggs!"

The so-called pregnancy is a kind of theoretical conception, which obtains a large amount of male hormones by preying on male organisms, which is used to stimulate the direct production of fertilized eggs in one's own body.

Shelley couldn't believe that a creature that had only been depicted in science fiction in his previous life was now so alive in front of him.

"Quick, we've got to find a way to get Owen out." Shelley, who realized that something was wrong, hurriedly jumped off the monster.

Nika also chased after her, but when she looked at so many balls, she was embarrassed: "But Her Royal Highness the Princess, is that Owen here?" ”

Shelley pointed to the balls closest to them and said, "I've noticed that the closer you get to the mantis woman, the more dust accumulates on the balls, so Owen and they're on the periphery." And I also know that in this piece, Owen and Momo must be nearby. ”

But things were not as they wanted, and these cockroaches, who were obviously not interested in them, saw that they were going to move food, and immediately became manic, and rushed over to block Shelley. Some even rushed to attack them.

However, although they are numerous, their combat effectiveness is obviously not good, basically the Warcraft can trample one or two to death with one kick, and the Warcraft is not only physically attacking.

Except for one of the fire-type wolves who couldn't use their magic power, the other two demon wolves could not get close to Shelley and them just by relying on their magic power.

"Squeak!!"

At this moment, the mantis woman who had finished eating let out a scream. All the cockroaches retreated like a low tide.
