The huge hive took some time to visit, and soon arrived at a brand new hive that he had never seen before, and which seemed to be a completely new area.

Entering this brand new place, they saw a huge egg, similar to the one I had seen the Zerg Queen, but this huge egg was obviously not the original queen, some bugs were constantly carrying some eggs around the eggs, and they needed to carry the new eggs to the incubation greenhouse before they could hatch.

The previous queen was injured and unable to lay eggs, which means that it was a brand new queen at work, and Cybertron remembered the hive queen that Giroud had brought, and it must be that queen at work.

Leaving the huge spawning area to some of the more remote hive areas, Selena was a little tired, she wanted to go back to rest, and Cybertron decided to take the girl back.

It was only when he turned to leave that he heard some very strange sounds, and he walked slowly in search of the sounds, and saw a strange scene in an extremely hidden corner.

One scarab beetle is releasing secretions, while several scarab beetles are devouring these secretions, their voices are grumpy, like rabid dogs predatoring food.

Soon after, he finally saw the eyes of those scarab beetles, turning scarlet, this is what happened, Cybertron had a bad premonition, but suddenly it occurred to him that he could not communicate with those bugs, and their general Valdés could not understand, and he should really leave Hilbert behind.

Hiding in the shadows, he could constantly see one bug with the rest of the bugs, and repeating this action, he found some patterns and variations in it, those bugs that were brought in usually had clear and dark eyes, but after devouring the secretions spit out by the red-eyed bugs, they turned into scarlet eyes.

The bad premonition began to creep in, and Cybertron returned to the cabin with the girl. "Selena, get your stuff ready, maybe we'll need to get out of here soon. ”

In the middle of the night, Cybertron left the cabin and headed to the Council Chamber, where he met General Valdés, who was busy.

There were some obstacles to communication, but he remembered Downing's method, drawing pictures, picking up some carapaces peculiar to the Zerg, and drawing some patterns on them, his painting skills were not outstanding, which was a challenge for Valdés.

But Valdés soon drew some patterns to the paladin as well, and those patterns depicted the fact that the scarab's eyes had changed color, and the reason for the discoloration was the new queen, and behind the other party's pattern were three huge scarabs, in addition to the two humans, one large and one small.

This represented himself and Selena, and there was a line drawn in front of the two humans, and he couldn't understand what it was, when the other three members of the council entered, and Valdés quickly filled in the patterns and digested them, and communicated with the three council members.

Cybertron noticed that the eyeballs of the three Scarab Council members were also glowing red, and he wanted to continue the conversation, but Valdés looked rather annoyed.

Leaving the council chamber and returning to the cabin, Selena had fallen asleep, and Cybertron lay on his bed thinking about the patterns and Valdés' actions.

What did those patterns mean, why did Valdés avoid the other three councillors, why was that, and the straight line in front of the two humans, and there was a gem at the edge of that straight line, which represented the spirit gem, what did these mean.

There was some noise outside the cabin door, Cybertron got up and opened the cabin door, there was a box in the doorway, but there was no living thing, he took the box in, opened the box, and saw what was inside the box, it was a worm egg, the wriggling worm egg was disgusting.

The eggs reminded him of the eggs Giroud had brought with him when he arrived, and Cybertron suddenly understood that this was the queen larvae of the hive, why would the other party put it in front of his cabin, and who would do it.

His bad premonition intensified, and he put the egg away, and the image of Valdés for himself quickly appeared in his mind.

"Selena, wake up quickly, let's go. Cybertron put the box away, quickly woke the girl up, took the things with him, opened the cabin, and headed for the exit.

There was a violent movement in the cave, Cybertron ran quickly with Selena in his arms, it took a while for the huge hive to leave, and he saw the bugs behind him while running, and those bugs had blood-red eyes and chased after them.

When it gets late at night, the bugs go into hibernation and then into deep burrows, but now that's not the case at all, and they go crazy.

"Uncle, that's General Baders. Selena was held by the paladin, and her eyes could see movement behind her.

Cybertron turned around, and Valdés' head was pressed against those blood-red-eyed bugs, and then it kept tearing, and a large number of red-eyed bugs were still rushing in his direction.

Now he finally understood the meaning of those patterns, the three giant beetles represented the other three members of the council, who had been infected by the secretions and had become ferocious, and the two humans represented the straight line in front of him, allowing him to flee with the girl and take the spirit gem with him.

Barders had already noticed the changes, but he had discovered them too late and was powerless to change, so he had to do so, and when the other three council members appeared, he swallowed the patterns to keep it a secret, and as for the egg, Valdés had placed it at his door, hoping to take it with him and keep the Zerg bloodline.

Knowing all this, he ran quickly with Selena in his arms, and suddenly some bugs appeared in front of the cave to block the way, Cybertron quickly ran to the passage on one side, but was intercepted by the bugs in front of him again, and the bugs with scarlet eyes became quite brutal, waving giant claws to block the two.

The paladin lit a torch according to common sense, the bugs were afraid of the flames, and the strong light combined with the holy light allowed the bugs in front to escape, and lit a bug, and the bugs that burned the flames rushed around, making more bugs on fire, buying time for the escape, and opening a passage at the same time.

Leaving the hive, when leaving the Nakamb Mountains and entering the rotten plains, the violent poisonous gas is suffocating, and without the saliva unique to the Zerg, it is impossible to avoid being eroded by the poisonous gas.

Using the light to disperse the poison gas for Selena, Cybertron ran wildly through the fog, the humid air of the night made the poison gas even stronger, his head dizzy, his legs weak, and his consciousness gradually blurred, until he fell to the ground.

The progress of human mercenaries is quite good, one-third of the land in the Black Iron Continent has fallen into the hands of human mercenaries, orc captives are constantly being sent to the human continent, the port of Blackwater Bay has become prosperous again, and even found some simple commerce, and there are many businessmen who come here to pan for gold.

However, these traders have made a new discovery, and some ogres have been able to find large treasures such as gems and gold.

A celebration feast was taking place, and Downing was on the list, and the merchants were changing their glasses and lamps, and they were also planning a new business to send the gold and gems they found to the Eternal Continent, a business that was worth investing more energy than the business of orc slaves.

"Not only can we get these gold and gems, but we can also mine here, think about it, this is a pristine soil, unexplored, many gold mines will come into existence here, we will get more gold than on the Eternal Continent, and we can even establish a kingdom here. A businessman proudly recounted his next plans.

Downing leaned in. "Wait, the gold is managed by the kingdom's treasury in a unified manner, and we have such a huge amount of gold, will it cause discomfort to some big people in the kingdom. ”

"No, think about it, if they could get a share of the gold. The merchant replied loudly, as if it weren't some unspoken rule.

"No one hates having more of their wealth, especially for their big names. Someone next to him added.

"But who is going to do this?" Downing wondered.

"Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the greatest businessman, he has a good relationship with the big guys, we just need to do business under his patronage without any problems. The reputable businessman replied proudly.

Solskjaer had some private dealings with some of the kingdom's powerful vassals, so that all his business could be kept unimpeded and his wealth grew geometrically.

"That's right, I've been in the orc trafficking business before, and now I want to participate in this business too, who should I find?"

"Young man, you can't compete with us. Someone heard the young man want a piece of the pie and reminded him.

"No, I have my own way, and the gold and precious stones here are left to you. ”

"It sounds like you have a little bit of a way, well, the owner of the Grenada gem shop in the capital can help you get through, you have to visit him first, he is the head of Mr. Solskjaer's jewelry business, which is the biggest deal Solskjaer himself has invested in. ”

When the banquet was over, Tang Ning found a lame reason to leave the group, anyway, these merchants had never taken him seriously, and naturally no one paid attention to whether he existed.

The amount of gold itself is not large, at least not on a large scale until the discovery of gold mines, but gemstones can, gems are a capital-intensive business, and Solskjaer has invested heavily in this business, and it should be necessary to bring down Solskjaer.

The plan of belief came to the young man's mind, first he had to rush to Black Iron City, where he would get a promise from Aruvik, a matter that could not be explained by a letter.

With Aruvik's permission, he could run rampant on the Black Iron Continent, and three days later, Tangning had arrived in Black Iron City, the council hall of Aruvik.

After a brief inquiry about the progress of the construction of the port, which is about to be completed, he said the focus of the trip. "I need a lot of gemstones, the kind that shines brightly. ”

These stones were simply ornaments for orcs and had no special meaning, and they usually possessed large quantities of these gemstones.

Aruvik pondered. "Yes, I'll have people turn it in, but you've made a new request, and I've got new conditions. ”

It's cunning, Downing thought to himself. "No problem, tell me about your new conditions. ”
