Yuzu's exploration deep into the ground was unharmed, and the sandworms seemed to swim only occasionally, and there were not many other signs in the tunnels it had dug.

"In that direction, that's the direction in which the underground tunnel is dug, let's go there and make sure." The pulled out pomelo points in a certain direction, providing guidance for the team.

"Good! Let's go. ”

"Drive slower." Yuzu reminded.

Sitting in the car again, Tiger held the half bone blade fragment found by Yuzu in his hand and looked at it curiously.

The color of Mori Bai's bone blade was a little dull after leaving the main body, and it even became a lot more brittle, as if it could be broken with a little force.

"Living Bone Armor...... Tiger shook his head, "How can there be such a perverted race in the world?" ”

The car moved forward slowly, and Song Ying soon discovered the existence of the underground tunnel again.

"Over there."

"Okay."

Concocted in the same way, Yuzu went down alone again.

One or two explorations could not confirm the true direction of the sandworms, and even if the underground tunnels collapsed, they could still follow it to determine to a certain extent where the sandworms went.

"It's a mess......"

"It seems like there's more than just one sandworm...... Stretch it a little longer. ”

"Hmm~ There is indeed more than one, at least three...... Four. ”

Yuzu, who came to the ground and took a sharp breath, pointed in one direction again, "Over there." ”

……

"Over there."

……

"Over there."

The law of action of insects is that there is no pattern.

Every time Yuzu goes down into the tunnel, she adjusts the direction for everyone.

The occasional passage that the bugs dig out of the ground is the core source of information for them to be tracked.

Bai E has been watching the excitement, these teammates have been training much longer than him, and in some professional abilities, they are much better than themselves.

And he also has the ability to penetrate the enemy's interior with the "Hive Will", so even if there are any bugs in the ground, there is a high probability that he will be able to detect it in advance.

It is equivalent to a humanoid early warning device, escorting the personal safety of pomelo.

It's just that this kind of tracking efficiency is definitely not efficient, and occasionally when the sandworm does not leave the ground to drill upwards for a long distance, Yuzu will also doubt his judgment.

Occasional corrections, occasional moving on, turning back and forth, moving forward little by little.

Until we understand the responsibilities and general characteristics of this new type of bug, no one knows what the purpose of these sandworms' usual actions is.

Maybe it's just predatory? Maybe it's opening up the underground world of bugs? Who knows.

Fortunately, the direction of tracking is not in the direction of the hive, otherwise it is still between the two theories whether to follow this clue and continue to track.

As time passes, the light gradually becomes dim.

The carrier was so quiet that it stopped on the ground, and the view was too poor at night, and everyone did not plan to continue tracking.

"These sandworms seem to have the same concept of 'compilation' as we do." Based on the actual findings at hand, Yuzu summed up his own guesses, "There may be occasional independent movements in an area, but they generally move in the same direction. And the detachment of sandworms we are tracking seems to be at least eight at the moment. ”

Bai E sat in the back row and put forward his opinion, "Maybe it's not because of the 'establishment', but because of their 'hive will'?" ”

Bai E, who has the "Hive Will" himself, feels that he may know more about this than anyone else.

The bugs seem to be extremely powerful, but in the last battle on the Zerg battlefield, Bai E also discovered a weakness that is not a weakness of them.

The existence of the Hive Will allows the insects on a battlefield to obey the command of those node bugs to mobilize and adapt at any time, but if the management of the Hive Will is lost, the intelligence of the bugs themselves is quite low.

Bloodthirsty instincts can even make them indistinguishable from friend and foe, and once they are released within the range of the hive's will, it will not take long for those low-IQ bugs who act only on instinct to play themselves to death.

Are sandworms highly intelligent or low-intelligent bugs?

Originally, the jury was inconclusive, but judging from the last encounter and the conclusion of Yuzu's observations this time, there is probably only one reason why these things are appearing in droves - they need a core brain.

Node insects that can assume the command ability of the hive's will center are rare even in the Zerg, and every group of sandworms that go out needs a node bug to follow the command to ensure that they who release the hive will not completely get out of the control of the hive.

The last time I saw the explosion rate of the sandworm in the head, the subtitle can also support this speculation from the other side, this thing only has a higher experience than ordinary bee insects, far less than the node bugs like the praying mantis worm that can be called the squad commander, and this is the premise of their larger size.

It's not that they don't want to, but they don't allow themselves to go it alone.

Of course, this is good news for humans, and if each of these elusive underground sandworms has their own intelligence and can disperse their battles, it will be a big problem for humans to deal with their attacks.

But if it is just a low-intelligence existence like bee insects and worker insects, then they have to act in groups under the control of node bugs, and they will lose their greatest advantage - concealment and suddenness.

"Xiaobai said something more rooted."

Bugs do not have the mess of human management, status, or even human sophistication, and they act only for the most basic efficiency, and they have no reason to restrict their actions for unnecessary "orders".

Tiger took a pen and paper and wrote it down to himself, and these personal speculations could also be handed in.

The intuition of a front-line soldier is sometimes more accurate than the calm thinking of a think tank in the rear.

"So the sandworms themselves aren't node creatures, and they're surrounded by another more powerful node creature?"

"Is it a praying mantis?"

"I'm afraid not." Song Ying shook his head.

When you are speeding through the ground, there is still a praying mantis insect to follow, and the scene is too low, and it is a question of whether you can keep up.

"Maybe we need to be a little more relaxed."

Listening to the small talk of his teammates, Bai E didn't say anything more, but his eyes were a little distracted and looked at the entrance to the underground tunnel left by the sandworms not far away.

'Node creatures of sandworms...... Did you see it last time? ’

Like a slideshow, Bai E's mind appeared the scenes of the last time the Worm Sea was piloted.

Despite the tense situation at the time, Bai E's attention was focused on dodging, but the images that were once captured by the eyes would never disappear, but would not be excavated if they were buried in the deepest part of the memory.

After possessing psionic powers, Bai Er found that his ability to manage memories became much stronger.

When recalling something, those memories will pass through in my mind as if they were happening on the spot.

So every sandworm that I saw at that time that rushed out of the surface was filtered in my mind one by one.

Bai Er tried to remember if there was a different one among them, with a clear difference from the other sandworms.

'No ......'

'No ......'

'No ......'

As Bai E's eyes drifted, wandering psionic energy escaped from the periphery of his brain.

It was as if there was a brief entanglement with the echoes of time and space left in the air, and only for a moment, a vague and dark image flashed in my mind.

Hideous......

Huge......

The brief scene Bai Er didn't even have time to remember more details, only these two key words slowly echoed in his mind.

"Xiaobai?"

"Xiaobai?"

There was a soft call in his ears, and the mountain shook Bai E's body.

"Huh?" Bai Er blinked and came back to his senses, only to find that his teammates were all looking at him with concern.

"What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay......" Bai Er smiled cheerfully, remembering what Moon Shadow had said—

"Psychic ......"

Psionic beings can communicate with all things, and their extremely focused thoughts on their fate will occasionally connect with fragments of their memories or other creatures to obtain information that they have not otherwise seen.

Of course, it has occasionally been shown that the so-called "spiritual sense" is closely related to the "unclean whispering" of the high-dimensional space.

There is no definitive conclusion for this completely non-technological thing, and what you see varies completely from person to person.

Bai Er shook his head, trying to recall the blurry picture he had seen at that moment again, but found that it seemed to dissipate into a dream after waking up in the morning, and he couldn't remember anything again.

Only that feeling surrounds the heart.

Psychic ......

Psychic ......

Spiritual Sense!

With a chuckle in his heart, Bai Er suddenly remembered the time he felt when he sat in the car during the day and set off not long ago.

It felt like something was broken...... Now that I think about it, could it be that Lingjue is calling the police?

Bai E's eyes glanced around, and his eyes full of doubt made his teammates a little strange.

"What are you looking at, Xiaobai?"
