In this expedition, the complexity of the enemy situation far exceeded Fang Lei's estimate, he had no idea that Kava had actually been upgraded to the fourth-order boss level, let alone that this was a volcanic cave, and the continuous transmission of heat sources ensured that most of the more than a thousand bee insects did not need to hibernate.

In this battle, the balance of victory and defeat is rapidly tilting in favor of the enemy.

It is unknown who the "master" behind Kawa is, but his awakening is entirely because Fang Lei got the "Shield of Taunt" - what is the background of this treasure, Fang Lei doesn't know what the way is. His only goal now is to ensure that all the skeletons and zerg in the base can survive in the harsh winter.

At this moment, a rumbling sound came, and layers of broken ice slipped down from the ice surface at the upper end in a flocculent shape, after the ice breaking was completed, an unpleasant smell came out of the hole, and the second-order pincer insect Dasha brother crawled at the entrance, the sensitive tentacles swayed very strongly, and the pincer insect was the most common type of soldier in the zerg, and Dasha brother sniffed out a trace of uneasiness.

The cave is dark and deep, and there is no beehive in sight, but it is just a dark patch, and what is inside still needs to be explored.

Fang Lei stood in front of the skeleton phalanx, and personally ordered a few generals - Baili Seal, Huangfu Zong, and Zao Wou-Ki as front-line combat power; Feiying and Hong Mei were auxiliary combat forces, and the other skeletons were still participating in the battle for the first time, and their combat power was low. A total of more than ten people were dispatched, most of whom had experience in participating in the war, and were ready to enter the cave to find out.

"The leader is very dangerous here, there are third-order bee bugs and many second-order bee bugs. Their droppings are fresh, which indicates that the enemy has not gone into a deep sleep. ”

Since the last time Brother Dasha obtained a worm spirit, he has successfully advanced to become a second-order pincer worm, and his wisdom and combat power have been significantly improved. It dug up a lot of mud from the entrance to the cave and finally settled on a judgment that Fang Lei couldn't believe.

Fang Lei's heart sank, "No, according to the current time, the bee worm has been hibernating for at least more than a month." Brother Dasha, don't make something out of nothing, unless you come up with your evidence. ”

Brother Dasha proudly raised a big dung ball and presented it to Fang Lei.

"Chief, I've got the evidence ready. ”

The ball of dung on the claw is still very damp, and some of the carapace in the white-gray feces has not completely decomposed. All of this proves Dasha's inference: "It only lasts about three days at most." ”

His demeanor stiffened suddenly, Fang Lei never expected it to be like this, and the rest of the crowd also felt strange. Fang Lei angrily kicked the dung ball away and said, "You guys are on guard outside now, I'll go take a look first." ”

Everyone hurriedly stopped, what is going on, Fang Lei is the core of the entire team, and if there is an accident, no one can bear the result.

Hong Mei stood at the entrance of the cave to block the way, holding her hands together. Neither said nor spoke, but the shelf already stated her position.

Zhao Wuji hurriedly grabbed Fang Lei, who was about to break through, and said anxiously, "The leader must not be reckless, we will let the flying eagle go to the detective and then decide on the follow-up action." ”

"Do you really think I'm going to fight hard - do you think Big Silly will get smarter when he gets to Tier 2? I think it's getting stupider and stupider. I only know one thing, but I don't know the other. ”

Although the words were said to Zhao Wouji, her eyes were staring at Hong Mei, this woman is becoming more and more domineering now, and she has never compromised in the face of Fang Lei, and the current appearance of the roadblock makes Fang Lei angry, but on the contrary, I don't know how to deal with it better. Therefore, Dasha brother became a scapegoat.

"Could it be that the leader has any other high opinions?" Zhao Wuji hurriedly asked.

Brother Dasha was aggrieved, "Boss, am I wrong again, woo woo, but where am I wrong?"

Looking at the stupid brother who didn't give up in the Yellow River, Fang Lei went up and kicked it in the stomach, it didn't hurt or itch, in short, it was a top punching bag: Fang Lei's big voice was like a crazy little daughter-in-law, and the cannon beads jumped:

"Let me ask you, what is the reason for the freshness of their dung? What does it mean that the weather is so cold, it is because it is warm inside. No matter how warm a cave is, it won't be as hot as this, what is this for, of course, there is geothermal heat such as hot springs in it......"

Speaking of this, Fang Lei's brain suddenly lit up, "Geothermal, yes-"

He walked silently to the entrance of the cave, broke a piece from the abrupt rocks inside, and walked outside the cave and said to himself, "It's really an underground lava cave!"

This stone is different from the outside of the mountain, it is already brown under the perennial smoke of the earth, and the surface absorbs a layer of granular attachment, and exudes a strong smell of sulfur. The skeleton had no sense of smell, Fang Lei threw it to Brother Dasha, and asked in a smug tone, "You sniff, is there anything special about this stone." ”

Brother Dasha did as he was instructed and sneezed, "This is the smell of sulfur!"

Sulfur is one of the main components of volcanic rocks and an important way to judge cooling rocks.

Only then did everyone understand Fang Lei's series of actions, and Zao Wou-Ki focused his eyes on the surface of the entire mountain, and then took it back, carefully looked at the stone of Brother Dasha's claw, and said with some apprehension, "The middle of the mountain is empty, and the leader means that this is not a hot spring, but a crater?"

As soon as these words came out, many skeletons were in an uproar.

Fang Lei nodded and said, "It's not difficult to understand that the big stupid brother only knows one of them, but he doesn't know the other." Xiaohua's information is very clear, there are more than a thousand bee insects here, and half of them are second-order. In geothermal conditions, as long as these bugs don't move, we can't move them...... I'm afraid I've hit a nail this time. ”

After the words reached the extreme, Fang Lei's tone couldn't help but have a faint disappointment.

I only heard the emperor stomp his feet, "Grandma, then we can't go home empty-handed." As long as the leader allows, I'll go in and chop up that worm king now. ”

"It is no wonder that the enemies occupy such a powerful natural condition. If you want to win it smoothly, it is no longer possible to fight. I'd like to go in and take a look at it alone. All of you prepare for battle outside, smash this ice cave open for me, let the cold air completely in, and weaken their combat effectiveness to the greatest extent - if there are also pincer troops rushing out inside, fight to the end!"

Fang Lei said in a voice that could not be refused, and everyone knew that they could no longer stop him. Hong Mei knew that half of Fang Lei's words were aimed at herself, and she was unwilling to give way for the sake of face, and the moment Fang Lei walked into the cave from her side, Hong Mei's palm was tightly clenched into a fist.

Zhao Wuji walked up to her and said softly, "Sister Hong Mei, this guy is a person who wants to save face, everyone should tolerate it." By the way, we can't just watch him go in and venture alone, and when he goes deeper, a few of us will support him from behind. ”

Hong Mei nodded, but she was even more dissatisfied with Fang Lei's arrogance in her heart. At this moment, many skeletons began to try to think about how to open the entire ice cave, without the protection of the ice, the defense of this cave would be weakened a lot.

Fang Lei walked forward in the dark, and after a few hundred meters, he felt that the air was gradually getting warmer, and from the air flow that hedged from the inside out, there was occasionally a small warm breeze blowing. The air was filled with a large number of pheromone fragments.

Unlike human voice source language communication, the pheromones communicated by the Zerg will remain in the air for a moment, and since the icefall is opened a hole, a large amount of cold air enters and instantly sucks out all the remaining pheromones.

Finally, a huge hive appeared in front of me, this hive was completely embedded in a huge molten hole, the hole is the hive, and the hive is the hole.

A dense cluster of first-order bee insects hung upside down on the top, and there were hundreds of them in one glance.

The scene was shocking, the hibernating bees were not numb, they were in a semi-dormant state, and their fat tails were in a low-frequency swinging state, and they would slightly adjust their climbing state every few minutes.

As they continued to walk inward, the temperature became higher and higher, and the bugs began to not need to be completely dormant, and even occasionally saw one or two patrolling bee bug scouts, putting away their huge scythes and patrolling with both arms, Fang Lei avoided them one by one.

The roads that extend in all directions are criss-crossed, and only by standing in it can you know how complicated the path is, and Fang Lei can only collide without a map to guide him. As luck would have it, he found the chain bridge.

Half an hour ago, the left envoy had also given an order to King Kawa here, and he must completely annihilate Fang Lei's troops.

"Is it a bug that has such an old building here?"

On the arch of the bridge that was twenty meters long, a large insect with a faint golden light was facing him, and Fang Lei could tell at a glance that this insect was of a very high level, at least completely surpassing the previous kava.
