Half a moment later, the fog gradually lifted, and a huge mountain appeared in front of everyone, the surface of the mountain was like a hornet's nest, full of holes, apparently the place where the insects had entered, and these stupid insects could only stay on the ground compared to the poisonous scorpions hiding under the sand. With-Dream- . lā

Leaving Dussel behind to protect Selena and Taylor, Downing climbed the mountainside with Cybertron and Hilbert to the bottom of the massive holes.

Poured on the ground with some potions with maltose, stood in front of the cave, and soon heard the sound of the beetle moving, and the huge beetle that had been black crawled out of the cave, and it could be seen from the speed of the other party that the insect was quite excited, and the black pincers swayed rapidly.

However, when the beetle's eyes saw the creature at the entrance of the cave, it immediately became quite irritable, made a very strange sound, and waved its huge pincers to make a defensive stance.

"What is it talking about?" Downing frowned.

"It summons their companions in the same special form of communication, and it is clear that they are hostile to us. Hilbert's bald head was about to go bald in a cold sweat.

"Tell it our purpose, you know how to say it. "The last time he communicated with the scorpions, the linguist already knew how to communicate, and Downing urged Hilbert.

Hilbert walked a little closer, wiped the sweat from the top of his head, and made a strange sound in his throat, the language of these beetles, of course.

By this time more beetles had crawled out, and they were all guarding the entrance to the cave, waving their pincers, and the largest of them was a purple beetle, apparently a small leader, talking to Hilbert.

After a moment, Hilbert turned back. "He promised to inform their queen of our message, but we will have to wait in the cave for the queen's call, and if the queen refuses, we will become their food. ”

"Promise it. "Downing had no other choice.

As Hilbert said, soon the beetles spit out some white juice and sent it to the three of them with double pincers, and Hilbert dipped a little of his finger and swallowed it, almost vomiting in disgust.

Downing and Cybertron did the same, and then they climbed onto the beetle leader's back and entered the interior of the cave, which was quite smooth and covered with some egg residues on the ground, apparently left over from the larvae's shells.

After a while, the cave became wider, but soon a ravine was seen, and the beetle stopped and made a sound, Hilbert reminded. "He wants us to come down, and there will be people who will continue to take us deeper, and according to their level, we can't go deeper. ”

The beetle's nest is very hierarchical, and the beetle of their level is not qualified to enter the deeper cave, and when several people come down from the beetle, a larger beetle soon appears on the other side of the ravine, and the little leader of the beetle lies on the ground, crouching down and making a sound to the big beetle.

"What are they talking about?" asked Cybertron in a low voice.

"They're going to hand us over to this bigger beetle to explain what we're here for. Hilbert explained to Cybertron.

Soon across the ravine, the three of them sat on the backs of larger beetles, crawled for a while, and reached a deeper place, by this time the scene inside the cave had completely changed, countless beetles lined up, their bodies were wrapped in some metal, like armor, judging by the dress, these beetles were guards.

In this respect, these beetles are more rigorous than the scorpion, until the beetle stops in front of a larger ravine, at this time the cave also looks like a huge city, but the style is completely different from the underground kingdom of the scorpion, and there are many huge night pearls placed inside the cave, so that everything in the cave can be seen.

Occasionally, a group of patrol guards would pass in front of them, and soon after, a smaller golden beetle appeared, emitting a faint golden light from the outside of its carapace, similar to the Holy Light.

The two beetles exchanged some time, after which the three were allowed to cross the ravine, but this time they could not sit on the back of the human-sized beetle, and could only walk, and the slimy slime on the ground was quite uncomfortable.

After a while, the huge space was astonishing, and they seemed to have completely hollowed out the interior of the mountain to form their palace, and there were many golden beetles in this huge space, distributed around, protecting the giant egg in the middle.

Downing tried to get closer, but was quickly stopped by a giant golden beetle near a giant egg, hissing as if in warning.

"He said the queen was resting, that it had just undergone a birth, and that no creature was allowed to approach it. "Hilbert consciously translates for young people. "It's General Valdés, you can talk to him. ”

"General Valdés, it's an honor to meet you. Downing saluted respectfully, and Hilbert translated to the other side.

Valdés looked at the young man with lantern-like eyes, and continued to speak, Hilbert translated. "General Valdés said we have a little time to explain what we are doing. ”

"I want to ask for your help, the good days of the Gluck clan are over, and now is the time for the Zerg. Downing informed him of the words that persuaded Augusta, and then added a message. "Now that King Oguta has joined us, he will be paid quite well from this war. ”

Valdés was lost in thought, and responded shortly after. "We need to convene a meeting, you have to convince all of us in the council. ”

Hearing Hilbert's translation, Downing was surprised, these bugs actually have a council, it seems that what Hilbert said about these guys can only understand some simple words is not accurate, because the words needed in the parliament themselves are not simple, the human parliament can be used as a reference, it can be said that the parliament is the best embodiment of human language art.

"Then allow me to prepare, you know that I need to organize the language before convincing the council. "Downing was given a quiet place, and the bugs had arranged a fairly well-established service, including some delicacies that were not quite suitable for human enjoyment.

In order to convince the council guys, you have to know the members of the council in advance, and in the human council, most of the people who need to speak in the council to resolve parliamentary differences will do this, but there is no condition now, and the general Valdés will not bring all the council members to him.

Two hours later, the members of the council arrived.

Unlike humans, the Zerg Council does not have many members, four generals, representing the powers of four different Zergs, including General Valdés.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for listening to me. "Downing informed the four of them about what he had said to Barders, in an orderly manner, including the pros and cons.

"We're not going to be in league with those damn scorpions. A Zerg general shook his pincers, looking quite excited, spat out white saliva in his mouth, and fell to the ground, the ground hissing.

Of course, Tang Ning understands that the Scorpion Legion and the Zerg themselves are the underground masters of the Black Iron Continent, and both want to be the only kings of the underground world, and they are the competitors, but the Gluck Clan has no obvious conflict of interest with them, and it seems impossible for the two of them to cooperate with each other.

The other two generals also let out angry voices, but Barders remained silent, the Zerg General Valdés knew how to listen better than Augusta.

"Very well, considering the Scorpion Legion, it is understandable that you are so angry. Downing raised his hands and pressed down, signaling them to be quiet. "You can refuse, but the Scorpion Legion unites with the Blood Clan, and when they finally defeat the Gluck Orcs, they will definitely ask the Blood Clan to help them deal with the Zerg, and the isolated Zerg will be in a very dangerous situation, I don't think you will want to see this situation. ”

The bugs fell silent, and General Barders tapped the ground with his twin pincers. "Tell me, what do we get by joining this war?"

"Lordship of the underworld, I can promise you that the Blood Clan will be on your side. Tang Ning stepped forward and held out his hand. "I like you more than those scorpions. ”

"You promised the scorpions the same conditions. Barders didn't reach for his pincers.

Cunning Valdés, Downing thought, had a meaningful smile on his lips. "Indeed, I gave them the same promise, but only the strong can get help, compared to those poisonous scorpions, it seems that your race is larger, the wise only choose strong allies, and the weak are not qualified to stay on the Black Iron Continent. ”

"We need the shamans of the Blood Clan to help us with special powers. Barders came by surprise with new conditions.

Soon the reason was revealed, and everyone came to the queen's side, and when the queen's body slowly turned over, a huge wound was displayed in front of everyone.

"Our queen is injured, she can't continue to produce, the zerg is about to go extinct, and the power of the shaman will help the queen recover and perpetuate our race. Valdés explained to Downing.

It seems that the queen is not resting, but has become weak due to injury. "No problem, I can offer you any supernatural power other than the power of the shaman, the natural power of the druids works wonders for wound healing. Downing held out his hand to show the druid's power of nature.

"So when are we going to join the fight?"

"The sooner the better, you're already far behind the Scorpion Legion. "The current situation is quite favorable to Tangning, and the Zerg Queen's injury has allowed him to take the initiative and put forward any conditions. "By the way, guys, I have one more thing that I need your help with. ”

None of the members of the council objected, and they needed to reinstate the Queen.

"I need to borrow the Zerg's spirit gem. ”

The spirit gem is a mysterious gem unique to the Zerg, when the Zerg queen gives birth to the next queen, there is usually a by-product, a kind of pink slime, this pink slime has a considerable effect on improving people's spiritual power, the insects collect it, and then after drying, it will precipitate some powder, they collect these powders and fuse them with unique mucus to form a unique gem, which is called a spiritual gem.

Of course, the spirit gem is a symbol of power for the Zerg and usually stays by the queen's side, and Downing noticed the huge and brilliant gem.

The council members whispered, seemingly annoyed, and Hilbert muttered quietly, "They are angry and want to refuse to cooperate." ”

At this time, Valdés looked at the young man in front of him. "The spirit gems of the Zerg will never be lent out. ”
