The range of insect swarm activities is not limited to insect mountains. Underneath several insect mountains, there is a large-scale karst cave shijie. After a few years of development of the Zerg, the cave space has been expanded even greater. There are at least hundreds of passages, criss-crossing and groping, and there are no days and nights, and it is impossible to find out the nest of the insect monster.

Because most of the insect monsters are very large, most of the passages are extremely wide, and there are good ventilation conditions, so that humans will not suffocate when they move in the wormhole.

The walls of the cave are covered with glowing green slime, or slippery moss with the ability to glow, and boulders or crevices are everywhere, making it easy to hide and explore.

The three of them followed closely the nanny bug, probably not a combat type of bug relationship, the nanny bug was slow to react, the alertness was very low, and they didn't find being followed from beginning to end, and the two tanker-like nanny bugs switched passages many times one after the other, and finally walked into a particularly huge underground tunnel.

"What a hole!"

This passage is about 12 meters long, wide and high, the cave is obviously heavily guarded, there are combat insects every few tens of meters, in addition to the insect soldiers standing guard and guarding, there are patrols walking back and forth, when they see the nanny worm coming, immediately retreat into the cave on both sides of the passage, let the nanny worm go first.

Zhang Mu understood that it would not work to break through directly, so he looked left and right and said, "Let's climb over from above, be careful and don't make a sound!" ”

Zhang Mu walked to the rock wall on the left, from a small pit, fished out a few handfuls of mucus and smeared it all over the body, this mucus is a little disgusting, but it can mask the smell, and it can also isolate the spread of body temperature, according to Zhang Mu's observation, most insects are not very good, but they can lock the prey with sound and temperature.

Grab a piece of stalactite and start climbing, the stalactite erodes all year round, and it is smooth in itself, the three of them must be careful to stumble, there are too many insects in this passage, in case they are alarmed, then don't think about passing.

Fortunately, the size of the human race is nothing in front of the giant worm, and when it is covered with slime, as long as it does not make too loud noise, the giant worm will not notice a few figures jumping around.

Zhang Mu avoided the patrolling insect soldiers, and finally came to the end of the passage, which was a huge hole, and when he walked in, a new world appeared in front of the three of them.

The sight was shocking, a huge underground space, the size of at least three or four regular football fields, surrounded by passages, about ten.

What surprises people is not the size of the cave, but the things that appear inside.

The ground, on the walls, and densely packed with insect eggs, as many as five or six thousand!

The size of the egg basin, the light green shell, neatly placed, a total of several areas, a large number of pink giant insects back and forth, responsible for taking care of the eggs, when there are larvae to break the eggs, they will go over to bring the larvae out, zuihou concentrated into the cultivation room - that is, the cave that Zhang Mu went to just now!

In the middle of the underground space, there is a towering and tall mountain of meat, and it is impossible to see what kind of creature it is, more than a dozen insects with black bodies and spikes all over their bodies, meticulously guarding the side.

Zhang Mu got closer, and Zuihou found that the pink giant insect that took care of the eggs was called the hatching worm.

[Hatching Worm] (Black Iron Lord), level 25 bug, 22000 health, 17000 magic, attribute ??? Skill??? , Introduction: The upper zerg responsible for hatching eggs, but their combat effectiveness is very weak.

More than a dozen giant insects with black bodies, hard carapaces and hard spines are called Qinwei insects.

[Guardian Worm] (Bronze Lord), level 25 insect monster, health 32000, magic 11000, attribute ??? Skill??? , Introduction: The personal guard responsible for guarding the Zerg Queen, is the most powerful warrior in the Zerg population.

As for the "Roshan" in the middle, although I don't know what it is, it's just more than a hundred tons of meat fast, squirming like life, just a look is disgusting enough, and it is definitely not a good thing. Zhang Mu approached cautiously and used an advanced insight from afar.

[Mother of Worms] (plot monster), level 25 bugs, 55000 life, 80000 magic, liliangDD, constitution DD, agility F-, spirit C+. Skill [Zerg Domination LV6], [Spawning LV6], [Mental Hypnosis LV6]!

"Strange, weishenme is a plot monster?"

Zhang Mu didn't have time to be surprised, and a prompt sound sounded in his mind.

"There's a new task released, please keep an eye on the taskbar"

There's a new quest released!

――――

Uncharted Quest: [Eradication of Insect Plague]

Task Type: Optional: Shijie task

Description 1: Cooperate with the barbarians to destroy the insect queen under the Worm Mountain (DD difficulty).

Description 2, Join forces with other mercenaries to destroy the queen of worms under the Worm Mountain (C difficulty)

Task Reward 1: Get the secret treasure chest, a certain probability to get the secret realm props, and a very small chance to get a rare reward.

Reward 2: If you get the secret treasure chest, you will definitely get the secret items, a certain probability of getting a rare reward, and a very small probability of getting a unique item.

――――

Wang Ling lowered his voice and said, "We received a task, what's going on?" ”

Zhang Mu has closed the taskbar, closed his eyes slightly, and pondered, it is not a hidden task, it is a shijie task that can be selected, the so-called shijie task is a separate task independent of the main line. Not directly related to the main story, perhaps better understood in another word, it is "side quest"!

There are only three kinds of missions in the Killing Secret Realm, the main quest, the side quest, and the hidden quest.

The main quest is mandatory, and failure to complete the main quest will be regarded as a failure of the secret realm challenge and will be severely punished.

Side quests are additional quests, which are quests that exist in the secret realm of shijie, and they are not directly related to the main story, and whether they are completed or not will have no effect on the main quest, or will only have a slight impact.

As the name suggests, hidden missions are missions that are hidden in the main story, and if the hidden story is fully triggered, the main quest will change.

Side quests and hidden quests are generally not easy to trigger, and there are even some secret realms that do not have side quests or hidden plots.

Compared with the hidden mission, the conditions are much more relaxed, once the hidden plot is triggered, then it must be carried out, and after the side plot is triggered, it can be optional, but not selected.

However, the side quest rewards are equally rich, and if they can be completed, Zhang Mu doesn't want to give up.

Zhang Mu told the two of them about the situation.

The scorpion said in a hoarse voice: "This is the core of the worm's nest, it is heavily guarded and full of dangers, even if we use the barbarian's Liliang, we may not be able to kill him, and we may pay a terrible price for it." It's not worth it. ”

Zhang Mu didn't give up, but said, "Observe for a while before you talk." ”

The three of them found a rock crevice, only one person was allowed to get in, and the insects would never get in, hiding in the rock crevices, even if they didn't open the camouflage, the insects would be found when they walked nearby.

Zhang Mu observed it once and remembered the movement track of the insects: "It's a bit tricky!" ”

The queen of insects itself cannot move, and its attributes are extremely weak, but only its spirit is strong, allowing it to dominate thousands of insects to sell their lives.

From this, it is not difficult to judge that the strength of the queen is not in itself. There are many high-level existences in this Zerg population, and they are fully equipped with lord-level strength, and the strength of the Worm Queen lies in dominating the whole clan, and the overall strength of the condensation is far stronger than a lone golden lord!

However, Zhang Mu always firmly believes in an unchanging truth, that is, in the secret realm of killing, there can be no unsolvable situation.

First, the intelligence of the queen is not too high.

Second, the swarm is fatally flawed.

The first point is easy to explain, if the insect queen has the ability to think and is smart enough, when Zhang Mu hypnotizes the insect king, he only needs to command a few insects next to him to attack the insect king, and the insect king will be woken up immediately, and the insect queen does not give an order to attack the insect king.

The second point is more obvious, no matter what kind of bug, the spirit attribute is very low, and the resistance to all kinds of illusions is low, including the insect king. Zhang Mu was very confused at first, but now he finally understood the reason, the insect queen needed to control the tens of thousands of people of the whole clan, if each insect had a strong spiritual resistance, then the insect queen would have died of exhaustion.

Since birth, the resistance of the swarm to spiritual energy is almost 0, so the swarm has an Achilles heel, unable to resist the attack of spiritual spells, and is easily disturbed by illusions!

Zhang Mu said in a low voice: "I'll go over and try the depth of the worm first, you stay where you are, no matter what happens, don't act rashly!" ”

The scorpion and Wang Ling entered invisibility, Zhang Mu walked out of the rock crevice, cautiously approached the insect queen, and wanted to measure the vigilance range of the insect queen, but Zhang Mu walked to the front 300 meters of the insect queen, and there was still no sign of detection.

You can't move forward, or you'll be caught by the queen's guards.

Several nanny worms walked to Roshan and at the same time spit out the "nutrient solution" swallowed into their stomachs and fed it to the queen worm.

"Can't you find me?" Zhang Mu was a little stunned, "The queen of worms doesn't seem to have sensory functions, and she doesn't have the ability to perceive spiritually beyond her senses. So, how does it use to find out about the outside world? ”

Zhang Mu cautiously walked out of the corner, and there was a huge hatching insect in front of him, taking care of a group of eggs on the ground. Zhang Mu suddenly thought of a possibility, and slowly walked towards the hatching worm, about 50 meters away, Zhang Mu stomped his feet lightly and made a sound.

The hatching worm immediately felt it, screamed "squeak", turned its head suddenly, and stared at Zhang Mu with red eyes.

"Gollum ......"

At exactly the same time, Roshan trembled, and the guard insect that was originally facing away from Zhang Mu immediately turned around suddenly, and the roaring carapace suddenly opened, and it actually rose into the air and flew towards Zhang Mu violently.

"Hell, this guy can fly!"

At the moment when the insect executed the order, the spirit wave of the insect queen was released. Zhang Mu didn't have time to escape, and that spirit entered his brain, and his will suddenly sank, and he had a strong feeling of wanting to fall asleep - hypnosis!

(Thanks to 6267 for the reward!) ）
