Chapter 162: Movement Under the Ice

Swish~

The platypus-class frigate flew quickly towards the vicinity of the North Pole of Planet Four.

In addition to Perry, the leader of the sinners, who came with Jiang Xia, there was also Nolan Weiwei, who was still not in a good mood, but when she heard that Jiang Xia and Langya were going to find the truth about the rapid aging of the locals, Nolan Weiwei was still curious and followed Jiang Xia to the origin of the green scorpion.

On this snow-white ice field, there is a towering iceberg, and at the foot of the mountain, a group of topless teenagers are already waiting.

After stepping off the battleship, Perry summoned the teenagers and said, "Green scorpions grow under deep ice, and they need a lot of time and effort to collect them, and they are responsible for collecting green scorpions. ”

Jiang Xia nodded, as young people specially selected to engage in this work among the criminals, their physical fitness was quite good, the temperature was about minus thirty degrees, but these teenagers were naked, and they didn't feel cold at all.

Jiang Xia nodded at Langya, and then Langya took some food from the boat and distributed it to the teenagers, which was nothing more than jerky meat, military energy bars and the like.

These foods are very ordinary to Jiang Xia from the earth, after all, the food of the Earth Federation has long been famous in the galaxy, but for these sinner boys, it is a delicacies of the mountains and seas that they have never seen before.

Jiang Xia's move to buy people's hearts was very successful, and the eyes of the sinners who got the food lit up, and they no longer had the hostility and indifference they had when they first met Jiang Xia, and they became very enthusiastic.

"Let's go." Jiang Xia said expressionlessly.

"Yes! Chief Chief! It's up to us! The leader of the group patted his chest and said, his name was Gro, and he was Perry's eldest son.

I saw the teenagers dragging a row of powered sleds, a very simple means of transportation, like a flatbed ferry, with two thin ice blades at the bottom and a low-power jet engine behind it.

"Chief Chief, we're going under the ice, where the structure is very unstable and a violent vibration or sound can cause the ice to collapse, and this sled has been specially modified to be uncomfortable to sit on, but it is quiet," Perry said. ”

Jiang Xia didn't say anything, and got on the first sleigh, and Langya and Nolan Weiwei also found their respective positions.

Gro whistled sharply and jumped into the first sleigh and set off.

The modified engine was silent, and after entering an ice tunnel under the iceberg, Gro turned off the engine and let the sled glide on its own.

Swish~

The feeling of riding the sleigh is also very good, the surrounding ice is like a mirror, reflecting Xia Fei's shadow, the world under the iceberg is like an ant's nest, Gro is very familiar with maneuvering the sled through the complex holes, turning into this curve for a while, and then switching to another fork in the road.

......

After about an hour and a half of high-speed skiing, the sled came to a halt in a vast expanse of snow deep underground, and if the place where Jiangxia had just passed looked like a landslide, then it was an open plain.

The temperature dropped a lot, and the gas exhaled by breathing immediately turned into fine snowflakes, but the teenagers still didn't feel cold, revealing their toned muscles.

"Good job." Jiang Xia stepped off the sleigh and patted Gro on the shoulder.

"Thank you, Chief." Gro pointed to the open area directly in front of him and said, "That's where the green scorpion grows, and if you stand taller, you'll see that this place resembles the shape of a scorpion, hence the name of the green scorpion." ”

"Really?"

Jiang Xia nodded, and with a slight force in his legs, the whole person jumped up.

Click~

The climbing hook attached to the arm of the moon night armor stretched out and firmly buckled to the top of the ice, so that Jiang Xia hung his whole person from a high place.

The teenagers were stunned, due to the lack of news, they didn't know that Jiang Xia, the first resident chief in the history of the Sin Citizen Galaxy, was actually a very powerful martial artist, and it wasn't until they saw Jiang Xia's free and easy movements at this moment that they suddenly realized.

"The chief is very powerful!"

"Yes, his explosive power when he jumps is really strong, I haven't seen him make any preparations, and he soared into the air a hundred meters high."

Gro's friends talked a lot, and couldn't help but applaud Jiang Xia.

After all, the beast clan is respected for its strength, and after Jiang Xia showed his strength a little, everyone's eyes on him changed a lot.

Jiang Xia hung himself in the air, and when he looked closely, the center of the ice and snow plain showed a faint green, really like the shape of a huge scorpion, with a length of about a kilometer.

"Do you feel it?" Lingxiao asked in Jiang Xia's consciousness.

"Hmm." Jiang Xia nodded, "A kind of energy fluctuation that is different from humans and beasts, it is relatively weak, a bit like the Zerg hidden space that my brothers and I have been to, but such a weak fluctuation is not like a living Zerg." ”

Lingxiao nodded and said: "Even if a high-level intelligent life dies, there will still be some energy aftermath around it, if I guessed correctly, there should be a corpse of the Zerg under the ice, and the secret of the green scorpion may be related to this corpse." ”

"Remember this feeling, the reason why my perception is stronger than yours is precisely because I have experienced a lot, I can perceive the most subtle changes in space, as long as you continue to work hard, one day, you will have the same perception ability as me."

Swish~

Jiang Xia fell back to the ground, and under the leadership of Geluo, he came to the center of this snowfield.

In order to facilitate the collection of green scorpions, the criminals installed some high-power nuclear lights in the ice, which illuminated the ice layer hundreds of kilometers underground.

Gro knelt down, pointed to the thick snow and said, "The green scorpion is down here. ”

After that, he picked up the snow with his bare hands, and when the depth reached about half a meter, Jiang Xia finally saw the figure of the green scorpion, which was a plant similar to the wild jujube in the mountains, growing in the snow, the rhizomes were buried very deeply, the branches and leaves were thin, and there were many green fruits on the branches, which were smaller than what Jiang Xia had ever seen, and the color was relatively light.

"This is a green scorpion that is not yet ripe, and when it matures, it will take on a dark green color." Gro explained to Jiang Xia.

Langya and Nolan Weiwei were also very interested, and they took a look at the strange snow plant curiously.

"Does the teacher know this plant?" Jiang Xia asked in his consciousness.

Lingxiao said: "I don't recognize, it should be the mutated variety, let's continue down and take a look at the corpse." ”

Jiang Xia nodded, stood up and said to Ge Luo, "Can you continue to go down?" to the rhizome position of the green scorpion. ”

Gro was stunned suddenly, shook his head again and again, and said, "No, Chief Chief, the rhizome of the green scorpion is very deep, and the structure below it is very unstable. ”

"There used to be a time when we wanted to explore deeper ice, but as soon as we continued to descend, the ice shook violently, as if something could detect our movements, and it was really dangerous to keep going down!"

Something seems to be probing?

Jiang Xia frowned, and the doubts in his heart were even worse, he ignored Geluo's objections, and said in a deep voice: "Langya, open the road ahead, be careful." ”

......

Thundered~

The ice shook for a while, and there were even a few obvious cracks in the ice wall, although Gro and the young sinners were brave, they were more superstitious, and whenever the ice shook, they closed their eyes and silently prayed to the beast god for protection.

Not far from the place where the green scorpion grows, it is the road that continues deeper into the ice, Jiang Xia and they have only walked for less than ten minutes, and the ice has already shaken dozens of times.

At first, the shaking was short and not too violent, but as Jiang Xia and them went deeper, the scale of the shaking became more and more serious, cracks appeared in the walls, and the ice skates on the top began to fall down continuously, as if the ice layer would collapse at any time.

"Is it an earthquake?" Jiang Xia asked Lingxiao in his consciousness.

"I don't know, it's very strange anyway, from the moment we started to get close to the point of the ice the weak energy fluctuations, the vibration has not stopped, as if someone knows that we are approaching, be careful!" Lingxiao said.

Jiang Xia gritted his teeth, "The more weird it is, the more I want to find out the truth." ”

Under the increasingly severe tremors, Jiang Xia and the others cautiously walked down, and when they walked far enough, after passing a node, the frequency of the vibration decreased, which made Jiang Xia feel puzzled.

Swish~

Finally, Jiang Xia and the others came to the bottom of the ice where the green scorpion grows, only to see that it was a huge ice field again, and in the center was a raised hill.

The rhizome of the green scorpion is rooted on this hill, and the rhizome blowing in mid-air resembles a grapevine, connecting with the plant body of the upper green scorpion.

It was the first time the sinners had reached such a deep level of ice, and Gro and his companions began to pray, but the shaking of the ice suddenly disappeared.

"I didn't expect that after really coming down, I was safe, or the chief has a vision, you are braver than us, you are a real warrior!" After Gro finished praying, he stood up and said with a look of admiration.

Superstition is an old habit of the sinners, after all, their lifespan is so short, and the garrison is alive and well, the locals really think that they are being punished by the beast gods.

Ling Xiao said in Jiang Xia's consciousness: "There seems to be something under this Xiaoice Mountain. ”

Jiang Xia nodded, came to the small iceberg where the rhizome of the green scorpion was, pulled out the Wind Knife, and used the knife to pry open the ice layer little by little.

After peeling back the ice about a few meters thick, Jiang Xia saw the green shell...

Everyone was taken aback, and as Jiang Xia's movements started together, the ice was splashed for a while, and the green carapace became clearer and clearer.

"It's a bug queen!" Ling Xiao said loudly in Jiang Xia's consciousness: "Absolutely can't be wrong, you see the crystal on the tail of this scorpion, green, like a basketball, it is natural, embedded in the poisonous needle on the tail, if it weren't for the queen of worms, it would be impossible to have such a beautiful insect crystal." ”

Jiang Xia frowned, an energy core will be formed in the body of the intelligent life, there are crystals in the head of the crystal beast, there are cosmic crystals and dark crystals in nature, and even the Zerg also have insect crystals, it seems that all high-energy-related beings in this universe will be inextricably linked with crystals.

"Teacher, if this is a dead queen, then what is the matter with these scars on his body? It's so tragic, it's all destroyed to the internal organs, and the scars look like they were injured by the same kind, is there anyone in the Zerg who dares to attack the queen of insects? Jiang Xia pointed to the scars on the insect queen and said.

A series of tragic scars were left on the body of this insect queen, all over the body, judging from the structure of the scars, it was obvious that it was also caused by the Zerg, it is hard to imagine what a cruel battle this insect queen experienced before she died.

Lingxiao said disapprerovingly: "You don't know this, the Zerg is a very special race, in the Zerg, there is only one Worm King, but there are many Worm Queens." ”

"In order to compete for the right to mate with the insect king, the competition between the insect queens is very fierce, only the best insect queens can mate and raise offspring, but even if they raise offspring, they must always beware of other insect queens taking advantage of the chaos to kill their offspring, because only by killing the enemy's offspring can their offspring live better and eventually become a new generation of insect kings."

"This queen worm obviously failed in the competition, so he fled here, failed to obtain the right to mate with the worm king, and died."

Jiang Xia pursed his lips, the drama of the harem brawl of the Zerg is really bloody enough, simply put, the worm queen kills each other indiscriminately, whoever survives to the end, who can raise the child, is the final winner.

Lingxiao said: "You see, the rhizome of the green scorpion grows on the corpse of the queen worm, and it must be some kind of special plant that the queen brought from where she is. ”

"No one in the universe has ever seen the insect king, and no one knows where the insect king lives, after all, the insect race is different from us, they like to live in the space mezzanine, that is, in the hidden space, it is difficult for humans to find them."

"It is said that the place where the insect king lives is full of treasures, all kinds of rare plants are everywhere, and the queen worm itself is also very valuable, her carapace, eyes, not to mention the queen crystal behind the tail, which is Mao Mao's favorite."

The spirit brain is very special, there is not only Lingxiao in the virtual world, but also Maomao, at this moment he is looking at Jiang Xia, listening to Lingxiao's words, Maomao nodded again and again, and his innocent little eyes seem to be saying, "I help the master transform every day and maintain the identity of the beast clan, so hard, this insect crystal will be left to Maomao!" ”

Jiang Xia smiled slightly, and said to Mao Mao: "Don't worry, the insect crystal is definitely yours, but not now, because if you eat the insect crystal, you will hibernate again, then I will be exposed." ”

Mao Mao nodded again and again, very well-behaved, and looked understanding.

Lingxiao said: "You have found the root of the green scorpion, what are you going to do now?" ”

Jiang Xia thought for a while and said: "Of course, I will collect the corpse of the insect queen, as for the green scorpion, I will also save some, after all, I have to go to the Miluo Star Domain to find the dark crystal, and I must use the power of those children, as for those adults, if they stop using the green scorpion, they may be able to live for a few more years." ”

Lingxiao nodded slightly, "At the moment, you are alone, I'm afraid there is no better way." ”

Jiang Xia said in a deep voice: "Since I came to the Sin People Galaxy, I have actually decided to use these strong little guys to form an army. ”

"Mothership Nine and the Mechnare are still waiting for me, if I were a woman, they would die, not to mention, Mothership Nine will bring great changes and opportunities to my hometown in the future, for everything I care about, I can only do anything."

Lingxiao smiled: "Who can ignore their hometown and compatriots, if my hometown is still there, I will do the same thing as you." ”

Jiang Xia's thoughts returned to the scene, and most of the corpse of the insect queen had been revealed at this time, and the upper layer did not touch it because it involved the rhizome of the green scorpion.

With a wave of one arm, Jiang Xia said in a deep voice: "Dig out all the corpses of this bug!" ”

"But." Gro was slightly stunned and said, "If the rhizome is destroyed, there will be no green scorpions to eat." ”

Jiang Xia's gaze swept over the group of sinner youths, and said in a loud voice, "Do you want to eat green scorpions for the rest of your life?" I promise you'll have endless food to eat in the future! Real food! Everyone in the Sinners Galaxy has a share! ”

"Chieftain, what you said is true!?"

"Are you really going to feed us?" The teenagers were surprised and asked.

In the Yeben tribe, the chief is the emperor of the soil, and it is usually the people in the territory who work hard to support the chief, but Jiangxia, the newly arrived chief, has to take food to support the people, which is not common.

Langya glared, opened his throat and said loudly: "Of course the words of the chief are true!" What are you still doing? Hurry up! ”

Ulla~

Ulla~

The young men became agitated and began to quickly tear down the ice covering the corpse of the queen worm.

Ling Xiao said in Jiang Xia's consciousness: "This is a lot of money, selling the corpse of the insect queen is enough for you to feed all the sinners in your territory, plus to form an army composed of sinners and youths." ”

Jiang Xia said: "What's more important is Worm Crystal, Mao Mao can finally improve his level again." ”

"Not bad." Lingxiao said: "A corpse of a worm queen has almost solved all your current troubles, which can be described as a lot of work." ”

Suddenly~

Just as Jiang Xia was thinking about his future plans, the ice shook violently again.

Jiang Xia couldn't believe his eyes!

Because he found out that the shock actually came from inside the corpse of the mother worm!

Yes, when the ice was peeled off and the body of the mother worm was revealed, Jiang Xia found a very strange thing, there was no earthquake at all, it was the corpse of the queen worm that was shaking violently, as if something was about to rush out of the corpse!

Thundered~

Thundered~

In just a few seconds, the vibrations were unbelievably loud and violent, the ice almost completely collapsed, the walls of ice were crumbling, and the ice on top was falling like a storm!

"What the hell is going on!?"

"Chief Chief, what the hell happened to the corpse!? Why is it shaking? ”

"Shall we leave right away!?" The young people were shocked and asked in a loud voice.
