The worm nudged Professor Dean next to him, and threw a long rope towards the turtledove, who immediately came to his senses and helped the worm grasp the rope together.

"Turtledove, tie this rope to your body and walk slowly this way," the worm said to the turtledove, "don't worry if something happens, the professor and I will drag you up." ”

"What could happen to me?"

The turtledove said this in his mouth, and his hand still neatly tied the rope thrown by the worm to his body, with this insurance, he lifted his footsteps, little by little towards the place where the worm and the professor were,—— as soon as the turtledove raised his foot, a piece of quicksand next to him was touched, first a few wisps of yellow sand converged in the middle, and then the scale of "boom la" became larger and larger, so frightened that the turtledove didn't even dare to pause, and crawled back with his hands and feet.

Although I was scared by this, I was in no danger.

"I said, Professor, you're a bit unreliable in your speech," Ikaruga wiped the sweat from his head, "thanks to the slickness under my feet, if I were to change to someone else, I might have to be swallowed by quicksand." ”

"No, how could the Sea of Quicksand expand."

Professor Dean was still wondering if he had heard anything like this before.

"Definitely not," Professor Dean said categorically, "I've been studying symbols and words in my new empire, and I've been to this place myself, so I can assure you two that the Sea of Quicksand has never seen any change, neither expanded nor shrunk, and I don't know what's going on today......"

"Does this mean that the expansion of the Sea of Quicksand is a recent thing?"

Professor Dean nodded, and the little worm's mind was racing, and he had already vaguely thought of something.

"What are you doing here?" The turtledove looked at the insect strangely, "It was me who just escaped death, and it wasn't you, what's the matter, you're scared?" ”

"Don't talk."

The little worm didn't pay attention to the turtle dove, seeing that the little worm's face was not quite right, how could the turtle dove dare to joke with her again, so she had to stand quietly next to her, waiting for the little worm to sort out the many clues in her head.

……

"Turtledove, tell me what's going on lately."

"Huh?"

The turtledove stood here for a long time, and the first thing the worm asked him made the turtledove not know how to answer,——What has happened recently?" There's been a lot going on lately, and who knows which one the worm is asking.

"Has the New Empire recently carried out a purge operation in a lawless land?"

The little worm looked up and asked the turtledove, and since she was not sure what she meant, the turtledove replied along with her:

"Yes, there is such a thing."

"Let's put aside the affairs of the Extralegal Land for the time being, let's talk about the things here," Xiao Worm's eyes became brighter and brighter, "That map marks the Sea of Quicksand as the entrance to the underground city, but the Sea of Quicksand has begun to expand in recent times, don't you understand?" ”

"Huh?"

The turtledove frowned, he wasn't pretending to be garlic, he really didn't know what the worm was talking about.

"Oh, you're so stupid," the worm estimated that he didn't say it bluntly, and the turtledove would never understand, "Didn't Roger say that the new empire has more information than us, and the expansion of the sea of quicksand is likely to be related to the underground city, and the new empire must have known something we don't know, so it suddenly launched a purge operation, desperately trying to destroy all the bandits in the lawless land, as well as the wings of freedom." ”

"For example, maybe this underground city has been closed since the outbreak of the Third World War, so no one can kill its entrance, and the new empire, although it does not know where the entrance to the underground city is, has somehow mastered the time when the underground city opened."

"In order to prevent the earth-destroying power of the underground city from finally falling on his head, the new empire struck ahead of time, first killing the bandits, and then crushing the Wings of Freedom, and snatching back the map that recorded the secrets of the underground city from Roger's hands."

"All in all, the purge of the new empire is a last resort, they are afraid that the entrance to the underground city is opened, and the power inside will be obtained by others, and when the time comes, with the terrifying power of the 'Staff of God', it will not be a matter of minutes to destroy the new empire, and the new empire will not be able to do it if it wants to do so."

"No wonder they didn't hesitate to mobilize the whole country to carry out the purge, so it was."

……

The worm's analysis can be said to be a whip into it, solving the doubts that have been entangled in the turtledove's heart for a long time,—— the new empire has been living with the bandits in the wasteland and the wings of freedom for so long, it seems that there is no need to fight to the death with these two, why would there be some kind of purge action for some reason, dare to love is such a thing.

"You mean...... Is the Sea of Quicksand really the entrance to the underground city? ”

Professor Dean thought more than the turtledove, and he could already hear the off-strings from the worm's analysis.

"It's very likely," Worm snapped his fingers excitedly, "At the moment, the New Empire doesn't know that the Sea of Quicksand may be the entrance to the Underground City, so we have taken the lead, as long as the New Empire enters it before it realizes it." ”

"But how are we going to get in?"

Turtledove doesn't think much, but he is more realistic.

"Well...... this"

The worm really hadn't figured out how to enter the underground city.

"Probably burrowing into the quicksand with your eyes closed, right?" Professor Dean also stretched out his head and made a "drilling" movement, he felt that he was so old, I was afraid that he couldn't stand such a random toss, "It's better to be cautious about this kind of thing, the three of us have a total of three lives, my old man doesn't care about this, but you two are still young, or think about it again?" ”

"You'll have to think about it," the worm nodded back, "Haven't there been many people who have been swallowed up by the quicksand here before, if they really drilled into the quicksand with their eyes closed, one or two of these people should have entered the underground city, but until now, no one has controlled the 'Staff of God', so it seems that this method of drilling into it with your eyes closed will not work." ”

Standing on the edge of the sea of quicksand, the little insect was puzzled, she looked up at the sky for a while, looked down at the ground for a while, and sighed every two or three seconds.
