"It's the porter. "Moria once proposed to name this insect worker bees, but Shul rejected it on the grounds that it was too immediacy and sounded stupid, and before Moria decided to name them Shuer, she gave them this name, although it was also quite stupid, but once the captain used his power for personal gain, it was also quite helpless, "What are they hiding inside?"

"I knew that I was giving birth to small worker bees, but I didn't expect them to be shy, and they had to hide in places where no one was, and they didn't dare to ...... in public. ”

"It's called porters, and in addition, they are mutated from larvae cocooning, and they can't give birth to small bugs. Shuer cruelly interrupted Lin Jing's association, and watched a dozen or so porters slowly crawl out from the inside of the target building. Compared to the ones I've seen before, they're a little bigger, or rather, they're a lot fatter, and they're even a little sluggish.

"Of course they can't be born without mating, aren't they trying? While talking nonsense, the two of them stared at the movement of the porter, the action was not smooth, and the appearance of insects in the target building was not unexpected by the two, but when they saw it with their own eyes, they were still a little disappointed.

Moreover, compared to the number of life breath sensed in the building, there are very few insects that come out, and there are at least dozens of times the number of insects in front of you, and thousands of insects larger than a human head are entrenched in a building, which makes people's scalps tingle when you think about it, and it is like hell on earth.

The chubby porter passed in front of the two of them, crawled all the way to the only lair building supporter a few dozen meters away, and under the surprised gaze of the two, pressed the belly full of dense holes to the supporter, and then remained motionless.

"Here's what you're doing, imagine you're ...... strong"

"I don't think there's going to be a bug with a special interest in an architectural sense. Before Mauria could say a word, Shul had already guessed her bad words and quickly stopped her, "Is it my delusion, they seem to be shrinking, like a balloon has deflated." ”

"It's not a delusion, I see it too. "I see, they sent the essence of life into the supporters, so they collapsed themselves. ”

"While your words are regrettable in every sense, I think you're right. Shure sighed, "What do they seem to be transporting, is it energy?"

"However, the fungus blanket has an energy delivery function, so wouldn't it be nice for them to lie directly on the fungus blanket?"

"Maybe the energy transported is special, for example, the strength is very high, the delivery pipe of the fungus blanket cannot withstand it, or the amount is very large, and it takes a long time to transport the fungus blanket, it is not impossible. ”

"Well, indeed. The two of them turned their eyes to the target building again, the porters came out of it, and if they were really transporting something, they would definitely find the answer when they entered the building.

Fortunately, the door was open, and the two of them crept into the building like thieves, lest they step on something they shouldn't touch.

In the imagination of the two of them, the target building should be divided into several different workshops like the factories they saw before, which were filled with all kinds of equipment, on the production line, there were still many half-made puppet parts that were not completed, and on the other side, there would be a huge assembly rack for the final process to assemble the mechanical body.

However, it turned out that this was not a factory at all.

The largest building, without any partitions, is a huge empty house. There is almost no mechanical equipment in the empty house, except that every ten meters, there is a translucent glass column with a diameter of three meters, which runs up and down from the ceiling to the ground, and the glass columns are arranged in a matrix, which occupies almost all the internal space of the building.

Looking closely inside the glass column, you can faintly see many pipes of special texture, some of which are still shimmering, and there is a faint flow of energy in them.

In the building, only one area is not occupied by glass columns, just in the center of the building, is a circular area with a radius of more than thirty meters, there are indeed no pillars here, but there are a large number of crystal clusters drilled out of the ground, almost up to the ceiling, from the crystal clusters, you can sense some kind of huge and strange energy, the energy is too powerful, so that Shure and Moriah feel deep pressure, as if facing a demigod powerhouse beyond the scope of biology.

Next to the crystal cluster, there are dozens of mechanical bodies of the soul clan scattered, but this kind of body has not been seen before, the height is similar to that of a human or even a little shorter, and a probe sticks out of the head, the probe is hollow, and it is connected to the body.

"Heh, these guys of the Soul Clan, they still have this kind of thing hidden. Shuer recovered from his surprise and exhaled heavily, "Such a huge amount of energy is enough to blow up several cities." However, why is such a strong energy not perceived outside, is it because the building is special and can isolate energy fluctuations?"

"Shure, look at those bugs. Moriath tugged at the corner of Shure's coat and lowered her voice, "Don't they even let go of crystals for their special fetishes?"

On the huge crystal cluster, a large number of porters were densely attached, and the posture was exactly the same, all of them kept their abdomen close to the crystal and remained motionless. Could it be that a few swollen insects will fall from the crystal like blood-soaked locusts, and slowly walk towards the supporters outside, as the two of them saw not long ago.

"They're collecting the energy of the crystals for the supporters?" Shul thought a little further, "and then, using the unknown method mentioned by Miriday, to teleporte the energy to their lair. ”

"I'm afraid that's the case, I finally understand why the worker bees look like this, those small holes in their abdomen are probably used as energy pipelines. Moria smacked her tongue, "And looking at the appearance of this building, the soul clan also needs the energy of crystals, and if you look at the probes on the heads of these mechanical bodies, I think the effect is similar to that of worker bees." ”

"It's called porters, and maybe it's for these crystals that the bugs occupy the base of the Soul Clan. You see, you can't feel the energy fluctuations from outside the building, it should be the hands and feet of the soul clan to deceive the bugs, but I don't know why it was exposed, and it attracted a wave of bugs. ”

"It's a good thing there are no crystals in the human fortress, otherwise the bugs would probably have to tear it down. Moria stuck out her tongue and said happily, "It's still us who will be unlucky then." ”

"Are you sure you haven't?" said Shul with a smirk, "do you remember? ”

"Of course I don't remember, I don't understand her, I just remember one bastard mentioning that mining encounters some kind of associated moss that can be used as food. ”

"Ha, ha, the moss is delicious. "I always thought that mining was just literal, like the activities that dwarves were most passionate about. But seeing the actions of the bugs, I suddenly thought, maybe the mining that Wei is talking about is not only mining metals, but also collecting crystal energy?"

"Just like Pavatiga's magic tower draws energy from the leyline nodes?"

"Hmm. Shuer nodded, "Otherwise, there is no need for humans to build a lonely fortress so close to the insects, I'm afraid it's just to occupy the crystal." ”

"But why didn't the bugs storm the human fortress, and if there was such an important energy resource, why would the human beings abandon the fortress that they had worked so hard to build, didn't it say it had been abandoned for several years?"

"I don't know, maybe it's better to hide it on the human side. Who knows what the bugs are thinking, and what humans are thinking. Shure shrugged indifferently, "The only thing I care about right now is that there's obviously not enough room here to expand the detachment point, and the glass pillars are too much of a hindrance. ”

"So we need to find the entrance to the underground part of the base?" Moriah asked suspiciously, "I've always wanted to ask you, what if you find it? If it is not attacked by bugs, then the gate must be closed, how are you going to open it?"

"Actually, there is no stopping, you see, in these glass columns, you can still feel faint energy fluctuations, and they are always changing. Shuer pressed his hand on a glass pillar and felt the subtle energy fluctuations with his heart, "This shows that the base is still secretly collecting energy at the door of the insects, and if it really stops, the energy fluctuations in it should also disappear." ”

"Well, even if you're right, how do you open the door, and hide it from the bugs?" asked Moria, "knock on the door, and say, open the door, it's me? Even if the door is opened, the bugs aren't stupid, they won't find out? Well, they're really stupid." ”

"Heh, I naturally have a way. Shuer said mysteriously and began to wander around the huge room, "According to Wei, there are entrances to underground bases in several important buildings, and there should be such an important place as the collection room, right?" ”

"What is the entrance like?" Moria glanced meaningfully at where Shul was, this guy's bad habits seemed to be unchangeable anytime soon, "Describe me, I'll help you find it." ”

"Well, the entrance, it's hard to describe. Rounding a pillar of glass, Shuer's footsteps paused, and regardless of whether Moria could see herself or not, he pointed ahead and said, "Well, that's it." ”

The insects were all around the crystal, between the heavy glass pillars, and there was no trace of the insects at all, and it seemed empty. In a corner surrounded by glass columns, a metal platform full of soul clan style lay on the ground, the surface above the platform was all made of glass, and it was pitch black under the glass, and the specific situation could not be seen.
