Chapter 142: The Stone Gate Opens
The king worm carried Xue Hua forward quickly in the air, flying towards the distant oasis.
Four days had passed since he set out, and at the current rate, he would be able to see the borders of the oasis before the sun set today.
His plan to sneak out of the city went well, and it wasn't even until this morning that Kane learned from the two little girls that he had set off—until then, they had always thought that Xue Hua had been resting at home.
Even Kane was concealed, but it is conceivable that the spies of the major forces may not know that the target of their surveillance has left the city under their noses.
However, thinking of the secret spy, Xue Hua remembered the spy of the desert mercenary who was caught by him.
The sad creature is still in the belly sac of a certain king worm, controlled by anesthetics.
And Grace seems to have decided that this guy should have hung up after some fruitless searching, so he also gave up looking for him.
In addition, Xue Hua had no intention of attacking the desert mercenary group after he came back, which made Grace, who had always been terrified, very relieved.
So this spy was completely forgotten by his master......
Xue Hua hadn't thought about how to use this spy yet, so he could only let him stay in the belly sac of the king worm for the time being, because the king worm had a basic life support system in his body, but he was not afraid that he would die.
It's just that this feeling of not being able to survive and die after being completely controlled is probably quite unpleasant, and this Mr. Secret Spy is probably beginning to regret it now.
However, no matter how much he regretted it, all this was his own doing, who told him to chase it out as soon as his brain was hot?
Xue Hua laughed and left this guy behind again.
At this time, the king worm had already flown over the oasis and was beginning to descend in altitude.
This time, he released two infected people in his abdominal pouch and asked them to carefully perceive the changes in the psionic disturbances around them, hoping to obtain some information about the cat-man psychedelic circle.
When the king worm lowered its altitude to about three thousand meters, the two infected people really sensed a significant change in the density of psionic energy in the outside world, but this change only appeared for a moment, and then a familiar giant oasis jungle appeared below the king worm.
Due to the short duration of the change in psionic density, the two infected were unable to gather enough information to determine where the source of the psionic energy was.
After learning this, Xue Hua was also disappointed, he originally wanted to try to find the location of the other three stone pillars in this way.
But fortunately, he didn't have much hope for this method, and just tried it with the mentality of giving it a try.
It's not a big deal if it doesn't work out.
The king worm quickly landed above the jungle and let Xue Hua down.
The moment Xue Hua landed, he contacted the infected person who controlled the Sand Worm Queen, and asked it to connect himself into the space where the Sand Worm Queen was.
Abbather remained by the Sandworm Queen's side, and occasionally stabbed the Sandworm Queen's back into the central nervous system with his sharp arthrops, as if he was experimenting on something.
There were also several irregular orbs wrapped in green slime floating around around it, and every time Abbather pulled out the arthropod, a ball of orbs poured into the sandworm queen's body from the wound caused by the arthropod.
Xue Hua's arrival alarmed Abbathhar, who crawled off the Sandworm Queen's body.
"The Sandworm Queen's genetic sequence has changed by six percent, and I have extracted several ghost genes from the genetic sequence of this creature, which are beneficial to the evolution of the swarm, and have been compiled into the genetic database, which will be used as a genetic reserve for the upgrading and evolution of the nest group.
The collection of genetic samples from the primitive alien Dhaka has reached a bottleneck, and the number of valuable genetic samples on the periphery of the area designated as 'Mysterious Dune' is rapidly decreasing.
The gene bank data needed for the Hive Upgrade Program is ready, and the Hive can start evolving at any time as long as the Dominator psionic level meets the standard. ”
Listening to Abasser's report, Xue Hua couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Xue Hua knew what Dehaka was encountering now, and he also foresaw it.
After all, no matter how rich and diverse the genes of the mysterious sand dunes are, they cannot withstand the endless and efficient collection of insect swarms.
What's more, Dhaka has only finished exploring the outer area now, and the central area has not yet been touched because of Xue Hua's order.
Xue Hua was going to immediately dispatch Zagara's huge swarm to attack the heart of the mysterious Dune region as soon as he finished his exploration of the tomb of Talasya, and he was indeed curious about what it was like inside.
But about his rank......
There was nothing he could do about this, after all, the depth of his experience pool was there, and even with the experience provided by the Will of Domination, it was really growing very slowly.
Xue Hua could only hope that there were enough monsters in the mysterious shelter and the ancient tomb of Talasha that would allow him to harvest a wave and move up a few levels, otherwise he would really have to bring this wish to the Kurast Harbor to come true.
"Alright Abather, you can go ahead and get busy with yours, by the way, unlock the two Star Spirit Beacons and give them to Stokoff in your free time, it has discovered something unusual and new."
"Understood." Abbather responded, turned and crawled back onto the Sandworm Queen, continuing to poke and stab the big guy's central nervous system.
Xue Hua looked at the sandworm queen lying there motionless, and actually felt a little pity for this big guy for a while, but then thought that Abbather had told him that although this fat worm had a huge head, it was a biological device that only had the ability to think procedurally and instinctively, and had no perceptual and emotional system, and it would not know what pain and sorrow were.
He shrugged his shoulders and let the infected controlling the Sandworm Queen move him to the chamber where the arch was.
Inside the secret room, Xue Hua stood in front of the stone arch, took out a small pocket from the inventory, and grinned a little distressed as he looked at the colorful gems inside.
It's all money!
This Nima portal is really a money-burning thing, even the small station teleportation distance only accepts one broken gem, and this thing actually needs twenty-four flawless gems to activate......
Fortunately, these things did not come out of his own hands, so he only had a slight pain in his flesh, and then he began to grab the gems inside and stuff them into the groove in the door.
Xue Hua's previous guess was indeed correct, those flawless gems were just able to clip into the grooves of the stone door, and every time a gem was stuck into it, the spiritual energy strength on the stone door increased by one point.
By the time Xue Hua had filled all the grooves on the stone gate with precious stones, the static electricity emitted by the spiritual power field emitted by the stone gate had already made the hair on his body stand on end.
After all the gems were set, Xue Hua took out the strangely shaped gemstone ornament from his inventory, and then gently snapped it into the hidden groove at the top of the stone door.
And with the insertion of this "key", the entire stone gate seemed to come to life, emitting a dazzling blue light.
The light was so intense that Xue Hua had to turn his head to cover his eyes.
After a few seconds, the light slowly faded, Xue Hua took the arm covering his eyes, and a spindle-shaped blue portal appeared in the middle of the stone door in front of him, this portal looked exactly like the portal summoned by the town teleportation scroll, except that there were a few more arcs of electricity flowing on it.
Xue Hua looked at the portal and was silent for a few seconds, then summoned a jumping worm and prepared to let it go in first to explore the path.
However, as soon as the jumping worm approached the portal, an electric arc shot out from the door, directly splitting the jumping worm back.
"Hold the grass? What's going on? Xue Hua was stunned, could it be that the door that he had worked so hard to get out was not allowed to enter?
"Juggernaut, this psionic passage has a recognition mechanism, only a limited number of types of creatures are allowed to enter, and creatures without permission will be automatically expelled from the passage if they get close to it."
Isha reminded in the mind of the Lord's Nest.
"Uh... That is, I have to try it myself? Xue Hua looked at the flickering arc on the portal and couldn't help but swallow.
But the thought that the serpentine ornament might be behind this portal made him sigh.
"Hey... Forget it, die or die! ”
Xue Hua gritted his teeth, took out the time coffin and staff from the inventory, closed his eyes directly, and rushed into the portal.
