Chapter 342: The Trap of the Worm Queen
Entering the hive, it was pitch black.
Minitis created a small machine that could fly with them, a bit like a robot spider, but with a propeller that could float in the air. On this flying machine, there is also a fist-sized light bulb, which is quite bright, and the passage of the hive is illuminated.
They continued to advance inward along the passage in the hive, and there were constantly insects blocking the road, but without exception, under the strong blows of the five people, no giant insect could really stop them. Even, there are not many that can stop them.
And behind them, from outside the hive, there are also a considerable number of insects, constantly pouring in, chasing their pace. It may seem like you're being caught between two sides, but it's not. Levi and the others rushed forward very fast, and when the insects in front of them couldn't stop them, the swarm of insects that followed behind couldn't even touch them.
"It's too violent...... Shi Ziliang said, "I'm still having a headache, how to sneak into the hive......
"I didn't expect it to come in directly." Minitis picked up the second half of the sentence.
The two of them were really surprised, and along the way, it was too violent.
And it's too easy.
At this moment, Levi was still at the forefront, and the long knife in his hand continued to launch slashes again and again, and the corpses of one insect after another lay on the ground.
Rushing forward all the way, killing many giant insects along the way.
This newly built hive, which may have been built for less than a month, is actually not too big.
Looking at the layout of the entire hive and the excavation of the hive passage, it reflects the huge ambition of this insect queen - she definitely wants to maintain a huge race here and build a huge underground Zerg empire. However, due to the short period of time, the appearance of this Zerg Empire is still only a prototype.
After a few moments of killing in the nest, their faces suddenly opened up.
"It's coming to an end." Levi said this, and looked ahead.
A wide, continuous downward slope passage leads to the underground. And here, it should be the 'palace' excavated by the giant insect clan.
It's a huge underground space, and the whole space looks bigger than a dozen sports complexes combined. Levi and the others were at one end of the subterranean space, and in front of them was a strange 'house' made of stone and clay.
The door and front yard of the house were full of motionless giant insects.
The bugs here don't have the sub-bugs, sapper bugs and the like that they've seen before. In front of them, there were at least two hundred giant war insects, densely packed, but they stood quite orderly, like an army.
And at the door in front of the palace, there were two rows of dark blue super giant war insects, at least twenty or more.
Walking into this huge underground space, Levi's back path was also blocked by a large number of insects chasing them.
“…… It's a bit of an exaggeration. A little cold sweat broke out on Moeller's head.
"This wasteland giant insect clan...... A bit more than we expected. Lingmiao also said beside him, "According to the information we got before, this should be a medium- and low-scale giant insect clan, and the number of zerg should only be three thousand to eight thousand. Based on what we've been doing along the way, the number of swarms is about the same as we estimated, but the quality is ......."
"Hmm." "Generally, a swarm of this size shouldn't have so many high-level bugs. Not counting the ones we killed before, there are more than 200 giant war insects and more than 20 super giant war insects here...... This swarm of the same size has three to five times as many high-level bugs. ”
Minitis looked back and saw that from the passage they came from, there were still insects pouring in, including some giant war insects and a few super giant war insects. Her voice was a little cold, and she said, "Plus the ones we killed before, these ones that just poured in, and those who haven't come in yet...... According to conservative estimates, the number of high-level bugs is more than ten times that of ordinary insect swarms, right? ”
"This should be a large swarm configuration." As he spoke, a thought rose from the bottom of his heart: "Isn't it...... Is this swarm a swarm that has been driven in? ”
The giant insect clan generally does not move after the nest takes root. However, there are some individual cases, such as the presence of strong enemies in the territory that they cannot handle, the surrounding living environment has become harsh, and it is difficult to find food...... All of these conditions can lead to the swarms having to migrate.
Now, this swarm may have been a large or even super-large swarm before, but for some reason, it had to migrate.
And on the way to migrate, the survival probability of high-level insects must be much higher than that of low-level insects. After the death of a large number of low-level insects, the size of the entire insect swarm decreased, so in the early exploration, there was the illusion that this was a medium-low scale insect swarm.
It is true that the combat effectiveness of the swarm is strong in numbers; But the higher giant insects cannot be ignored.
Especially when these higher giant insects have also formed a huge number of scales.
Moeller's face had become ugly, he looked at Levi and said, "What should I do?" ”
He obviously regarded Levi as the backbone of the team.
"What do you want to do?" Levi asked rhetorically.
Moeller swallowed his saliva and said, "It's better to find a way to withdraw, run now, maybe you can still run away." ”
"I can't remove it." Levi said, "You can also see that there are so many high-level insects here, think about it, after we entered the hive just now, can we move forward so smoothly, is it normal?" ”
Moleren paused for a moment and said, "What do you mean?" ”
Levi shrugged his shoulders, looked at the palace in front of him, and said, "This is obviously what the queen of worms meant. She probably didn't want to expose her power too much, so she led us into the hive and killed us, so that the outside world couldn't see how many hole cards she had. Of course, it may also be because it is not easy to command so many high-level bugs outside. However, whatever the reason, this queen obviously thinks that she has eaten us. ”
Moeller's face was already full of wry smiles, and he said: "It's useless to say this, whether you can get out alive or not depends on your brother." ”
The eyes of Lingmiao, Minitis and Shi Ziliang next to him were also placed on him.
Levi looked confident, and he said, "Okay, put it on me, go out and invite me to drink." ”

Belch...... It's a little too late......
