As recorded in historical sources, the hive is indeed located in the depths of the wasteland. For the next two days, there were no large bugs, except for a few scorpions with twin claws and poisonous tails slowly passing by under the students' indifferent gaze - of course, the names of these scorpions were not crystal pioneers, they were just ordinary arthropods.

Cecilia's work on the potion wasn't going well, as she was in terrible condition, and Chrissy couldn't have stopped the team for her to find a safe place for the girl to tinker with the dangerous-looking bottles and jars.

The situation seems to be at an impasse. But just when Alicia, who had always been a big grin, began to feel a little agitated, a turning point appeared.

"What is this?" Looking up at the giant pillar in front of her, which seemed to be made of dirt, Alicia suddenly remembered the entrance to the cave of those curious creatures in the science fiction movie, "Bug nest?"

Granna, who had been scouting around the entrance of the cave, nodded and replied, "That's right, it's a bug nest." But it's strange that there is some kind of disgusting white mucous membrane attached to the inner wall of the cave, which should be the usual ...... bugs."

"Pulled out of Rexiang?"

Without hesitation, the thief girl gave Alicia a hard slap with a knife: "Don't interject! That mucous membrane is supposed to lubricate to make it easier for insects to crawl in and out, but the strange thing is that most of the mucous membranes in the cave have been dried up now, and they squeak when you step on it." ”

Chrissy, who was listening to the report nearby, glanced at the black hole and said, "Could it be that this hole has been abandoned?"

"Quite possibly. Alicia rubbed the red envelope on the top of her head and helped her hair to the ground, saying, "Didn't we encounter a group of panicked and lost insects before?" They were probably driven out of the cave by someone with that potion. It's no surprise that the cave was abandoned by bugs. ”

Sophia's expression looked a little curious, and even the exquisite folding fan couldn't hide it: "I said, do you want to go in and have a look? Maybe you can find any clues." ”

Grana was so shocked that she almost spit out the white soul from her mouth: "What are you talking about?" This is a real bug nest, not a haunted house in a playground. Although there should be no bugs inside, it would be too dangerous if there were a few of them squatting at home. ”

"Husband, I'll use limited-edition comics, games, and peripherals to build a good relationship with them. Alicia immediately straightened her little breasts with her hands on her hips, her head held high, and her face was full of pride.

"Don't think that all the squatting in the world is a two-dimensional lover like you, hey!"

Chrissy interrupted the daily routine that was about to begin, coughing vigorously and said, "No matter what, it's impossible to figure out what happened inside at that time. In this way, choose a few with better skills, and I will personally lead the team in to have a look. ”

Grana burst into tears: "Please." Isn't there anyone nervous here? It's a lair of horrible creatures coming from another plane, and you're scrambling to get in there, what are you going to do!?"

"Farm for experience to earn gold and explode equipment!" replied Alythia without thinking, clenching her fists and exclaiming.

So the beautiful blonde girl was rewarded with a chestnut blast.

Despite Granna's strong objections, Sophia insisted on going into the cave to get a glimpse, and the princess's maid finally asked to go with her. Cecilia was also included in the list. Since this is probably the place where the potion she is imitating has been used, she may be able to find something, and likewise, Fabiano, who is not worried about her lover, also takes the initiative to join in. As for the indispensable front-row fighters, Chrissy chose William, Ilya, and Li Huayin. And the wet nurse in the ranks. Naturally, Michelle is in charge.

The rest, including Icarus (because Alicia didn't want to cause a tragedy like a collapse and a collapse and a collapse), remained on the ground. And put it in charge of the mercury lamp, so that they can be notified in time when the bugs appear.

Just in case there is a boss in the cave, Alicia summons Akaya out to open the way in front. The little black dragon was not as disgusted with the gloomy caverns as humans were, and so he walked as fast as he could with torches and humming tunes.

"Then again, it smells really bad. Sophia, who had been frowning all the way, finally couldn't help but complain softly, "Alicia, can you think of a way?"

"Do you really think I'm a blue cat-type robot?" replied Alicia in a strange voice, pinching her nose, "or do you think that a random two sprays of the legendary air freshener in such a large place will dispel the pesky smell?" ”

The pretty face of the pink princess immediately became bitter: "How can this be." If I had known that there was nothing inside except for the sloping ramp and fork in the road, and the smell was so bad, I wouldn't have come in. ”

William, who was walking not far in front, suddenly spoke: "Sophia, something that interests you has appeared." ”

The spirits of everyone in the back row were immediately lifted. Hurriedly strode forward, his eyes widened to take a closer look.

What they saw was a dazzling glow of multicolored light. Of course, it is impossible to grow underground plants in such a place. And they only emit a faint pale blue fluorescence, which will never burst out with such a rainbow of beautiful light.

What catches everyone's eye is a lot of crystal crystals. It is said that it is a lot, but in fact, it can only be counted as a piece, because there are many branches erected from the body, and it looks like a dense bush, so it looks like a lot. The crystal itself emits a brilliant light comparable to the aurora, and people can't help but be deeply fascinated by it, and all that is left in their hearts is all kinds of amazement.

However, this situation did not last long - even after Alicia was domesticated by feeding lollipops, Ayaya could not change her dragon nature, and the moment she saw the glittering thing, the little black dragon pounced on it like a gust of wind.

"Mine, mine. It's all mine!"

A cute black long straight Lori spreads her limbs and clings to some beautiful and seemingly valuable unknown crystal, salivating desperately with her face against the latter, while unabashedly saying this kind of exclusive lines that only villains in treasure hunt adventure movies can say. The situation in front of them was so loving that countless black lines hung down on the spot above everyone's heads.

After patting her cheek vigorously to return to her usual expression, Alicia hurriedly walked over and took out a lollipop from the bracelet and shook it at the night who was lying on the surface of the crystal in a large shape, "Nana." Capsule Night. Here's your favorite lollipop, so get off the crystal. ”

"Hmph, sticks, lollipops or something, I'm not rare!" In the face of temptation, the little black dragon still struggled to maintain the arrogance and reserve of her dragon clan, "Besides, I can exchange a small piece of this crystal for a lot of lollipops." So even Ellie's master doesn't want me to give it up!"

"But what's the matter with the eyes you glanced at my right hand holding up the lollipop from time to time, hey!?"

"U, Ulusai! I'm just stinging my eyes a little with the intense light emitted by the crystal, and I just look away a little!"

[Divert your sister's gaze, that's just looking at the innocent Lori who is drooling with her fingers in her sweet mouth, and you can't refuse the thirsty eyes, hey!]

After swallowing back the spit on her lips, Alicia decisively ignored the cute seller of the night, and peeled off the wrapping paper of the lollipop in her hand. Then he stuffed it into his mouth, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with an expression full of intoxication, "Hmm, it's delicious." ”

After this girl deceived so many cute girls with lollipops, she finally ate lollipops herself. Although the body has grown, it is still very petite like Lori compared to its peers. Therefore, the situation in front of us makes people unable to find the slightest sense of disobedience.

"It's, even if it's like this, it's useless!" Staring at Alicia, she continued, "How could I, a noble black dragon, be defeated by such a level of temptation?"

The blonde girl didn't speak, but spit out the lollipop and held it to her mouth, then stretched out her flexible pink tongue and gently wrapped and licked it, the expression on her face looked even happier.

The three boys present seemed to have thought of something, and they all skimmed their faces in embarrassment. The confused Michelle didn't notice Ilya's anomaly, and William was left unattended, so Fabiano was the only one of the three who was caught.

I saw Cecilia stretch out her hand and grabbed Fabiano's ear fiercely, and in his cry of pain, he pulled the young man's head in front of him and said angrily: "Xiaofa." Did you just think of something terrible?"

"No, no, absolutely not!" If you nod at this time, you will be 100% warmly served by the girl with a firewood knife. So Fabiano was busy waving his hands desperately and denied it again and again, "Thea, my dear little sweetheart, if you don't let go of my ears, your ears will fall off!"

Cecilia deliberately snorted dissatisfiedly and let Fabiano go, and then blushed and whispered to her lover with her hands covering the volume of mosquito humming: "That, Xiaofa." If you want to, I can actually do it. This kind of thing ......"

Although he felt extremely surprised and excited, Fabiano finally held his mood and gently rubbed the girl's head, giving her a gentle smile: "Let's talk about it later." ”

[With such an active and fierce offensive, Cecilia wants to stabilize her position in the main palace, right? 】

The conversation between the little mandarin ducks didn't hide from Elicia's ears, but she didn't plan to poke it out, but stopped licking and shaking the lollipop that was stained with her shiny liquid and continued to pressure Aya, "I'm really going to eat it all?"

The black long straight Lori was still unmoved, desperately hugged the crystal and closed her eyes and shouted loudly: "Eat, eat it all, eat it all, I won't give in!"

It doesn't work that way, so let's try it another way. Alicia suddenly threw away the lollipop in her hand - this action startled the night and almost jumped - and then put on a very evil expression, raised her hand to her lips and laughed loudly: "Oh, hehehe, you ignorant foolish black dragon, are you finally going to disobey me as my master? It doesn't matter, when I signed the contract with you, I secretly set a terrible curse on you!"

"W-What kind of curse?"

"You produce some kind of toxin in your body every day, and if you don't let it go unchecked, you will die of poison. And the only way to detoxify is to eat the lollipops I gave you. None of them can be done by anyone else. That's right, if you don't eat the lollipops I fed you, you'll get a bento!"

"Am I some faux blonde loli curled up in a flower bed sleeping with a lollipop in my mouth!?"

Sweating profusely, Chrissy finally couldn't help but step forward and threw the two girls aside in her hands. Gently biting the chocolate bar in his mouth, Cecilia raised his chin: "Let's see what this is." ”

"Don't think of people as super geniuses who can do anything, okay?My specialty is alchemy and medicine!" Cecilia pouted a little dissatisfied, but obediently came to the crystal and hesitantly stretched out her hand to it, "Well, I don't know the specifics now, but there is no doubt that this crystal contains some kind of energy." But it seems to be a little different from the magic crystal......"

"Take a sample and take it back for study. Chrissy beckoned William and Elijah to the crystal and said, "Cecilia else." Have you found any traces of the use of that potion, and if nothing else is found, we'll go back. ”

Grana, who had been on alert, suddenly raised her hand: "Wait, there seems to be another road here." ”

The crowd gathered around the maiden and looked at the road she had spoken. The white "snot", which had been dried and hardened, covered the entire wall, and it looked creepy.

"Where is the road?" asked Li Huayin, scratching his scalp.

Granna tapped hard against the wall in a listening motion. The sound of the walls gives the impression that it is hollow inside.

Ilya immediately strode forward, drew his greatsword and slammed it against the wall, and large pieces of hardened debris flew all over the ground, revealing a huge hole hidden behind it.

"Well, the way is out. The red-haired girl shrugged her shoulders and walked nearby, holding a torch and peering inside. "This should be a passage to the other bug nests. But why are they sealed? Is it really the effect of that potion?"

Alicia stroked her chin and shook her head and muttered, "No, the effect of that potion is mostly to cause confusion and panic among the bugs. Do you think the crawlers in this state will have the heart to plug the hole? I guess Hannah and the Zerg guards broke in after using potions to disperse the entrance of the cave, and the other bugs who retreated to the passage blocked the entrance to the cave to stop the invasion of the other side?"

Indeed, this is the most likely scenario. Sophia covered her nose with a fan next to her and agreed, "But even if you have this potion, it is a thankless task to choose to fight against the Zerg." What exactly is their purpose?"

The little queen didn't speak, but glanced back at the multicolored crystal behind her.

[It seems that it is necessary to pay attention to Hannah's actions here.] But what the hell are they in, and why haven't they seen a shadow until now?]

――――――――――――――――――I'm the dividing line――――――――――――――――――

In fact, even Hannah herself doesn't know where they are at the moment.

Just yesterday. Hannah's team was finally caught up by a field team led by the haunting Golden Shadow. The battle wasn't as fierce as expected, as Hannah and the team got into the hive—yes. It's the huge underground brood in the deepest part of the wasteland.

Thanks to the potion invented by Monil, Hannah and his party were not disturbed and attacked by the insects, and they used the crooked forks in the hive to successfully shake off the golden shadow and others who were in hot pursuit, and then ......

Lost.

Of course, the bugs' nest will certainly not mark every building, every unit or even every house with a detailed number in front of each house like a human city, let alone erect a legendary street sign around the corner. In addition, the roads here are not flat but three-dimensional, and it will not be long before humans with a lack of spatial sense will lose their bearings completely.

Despite this, it still can't stop Hannah from completing her mission to find the mother worm in the deepest part of the hive. But before you go, you have to fill your stomach first.

"How long will we have dry food and fresh water?" asked Hannah, who was leaning against the sticky wall, casually playing with the dagger in her hand and facing the shadow in front of her.

The handsome elf guy swallowed lightly and replied seriously, "About three days or so." If you're lucky enough to find food for the bugs, you might be able to hold out a little longer......"

"Bug food, I don't want to taste it a second time. Hannah said as she suddenly threw the dagger out with a wave of her hand without warning, stabbing the throat of a hapless guy not far away who had hung up a lot of color in the chase with the field team, "Go get his supplies and cut him into jerky by the way." ”

The tone was as flat as if a nobleman had returned from a hunt and told his attendants to take care of the rabbit he had just caught.

Shadow, who was already a little accustomed to the tea-haired girl's personality, nodded, and after letting his equally bloodthirsty and crazy men deal with it, he looked at the girl and asked, "Is there anything else, Hannah-sama?"

"Yes. Hannah took out a flask from the spatial ring in her left hand and handed it to Shadow, "Use this to drive a swarm of bugs to the Golden Shadow." She was not far behind us, and I could feel it. And ......"

As she spoke, the girl suddenly stood up, pulled Shadow's collar and pulled him in front of her, and kissed him fiercely—perhaps the word "bite" was more appropriate—the handsome elf's lips snapped, licking the blood oozing from the other party, and smiling, "Don't die." (To be continued......)
