It was pitch black in the underground passage, and on the mountain walls on both sides of the entrance, there were torches inserted in the rock crevices, which were left by other professions who passed through the underground passages for future generations.

Anne tries to light the torches with rockets, but she soon discovers that her efforts are in vain, and the torches are so damp that they simply can't burn.

Xue Hua had no choice but to summon a swarm of insects, and let the insect mother Tunam take some jumping insects and cockroaches to clear the way in front, while Zaratusa followed them in case a monster attacked.

Speaking of cave battles, it was not the first time that Xue Hua and the insect swarm had been.

However, the underground passages are completely different from those of the previous tombs and caves.

First of all, the underground passage is a tunnel through the mountain, and above it is a giant mountain in the middle of the vast barrier mountain range.

And no matter how sharp the Surveillance King Worm's penetrating vision is, it can't help them explore their way through an entire mountain, and as for the Zerg base in the mountain, it is not in the giant mountain above the underground passage.

Therefore, the perspective of the king insect god that Xue Hua has always been accustomed to has lost its role here.

In addition, the underground passage is relatively low, and it is already a fluke to be able to accommodate the mother worm to pass through.

As for the allosaurus, don't even think about it.

This abolished the Swarm Air Force.

Therefore, Xue Hua has always tried to avoid the insect swarm from acting in this kind of place, because this is completely a move to destroy his martial arts.

But now there is no way, if you want to go to the Black Wasteland, you have to go through the underground passage.

He had also wanted the swarm to penetrate a passage through the dark forest directly in the base of the mountain.

Finally, after the exploration of the king worm, he found that unless he was willing to stay in the stone field for a month, it would be unrealistic to open this tunnel in a short period of time, even with the ability of the insect swarm.

There is no other reason, just the wrong direction.

Xue Hua's choice of that mountain as the actual base of the Zerg was actually just an accident, and he didn't carefully consider the location of the mountain peak at all.

So much so that when he wanted to use the base as a tunnel transfer station now, his current location was very close to the stone wilderness.

The location marked on other maps and the mountain peak are blocked by a long stream of high mountains and deep valleys.

In some places, you can't even dig up the swarms.

After learning of this situation, Xue Hua was so sad that he could only go to the underground passage honestly.

It's unrealistic to wait for a month, after discovering that there is a big bomb in his back garden that may explode at any time, he is now unwilling to delay even a second, for fear that there will be some ghosts in the long night.

Of course, he had another option, which was to return to Rog's camp and ask Acala to help him open the station teleportation point to the Dark Forest.

Eventually, however, he decided to cross the Underground Passage.

The reason is because Xue Hua thinks that the underground passage should not be very long, just a tunnel through the mountain, how long can it be?

There was another reason he didn't want to say, and that was that he didn't have enough gems in his hand to pay for the three-person teleportation......

He didn't want to have to borrow the teleportation fee from Akara on an impromptu basis, especially if he wanted him to lose that kind of person in front of the two girls.

You might as well just give him a sharp knife.......

However, when he was actually stabbed in the underground passage.

He regretted it instantly.

"It hurts! This feeling is reminiscent of the old days......" Xue Hua grinned and lifted the hem of the right side of the cloth armor, and there was a narrow wound on his right rib that was bleeding out.

Just now, a small group of five Blade Demons suddenly came out of a dark rock crevice, and quickly rushed to Xue Hua's side while Zaratusa was guarding other directions.

Then, the blade demon who rushed to the front stabbed Xue Hua who had not had time to react, but fortunately, the sisters Anne and Funia had been closely guarding him, and at the last moment, Annie threw him to the ground, and his sister Funia blasted the sneaking blade demon into ice chips with an ice arrow.

The sinister blow only caused the long and narrow wound on his body, but a whole strip of flesh was scraped off Anne's right arm.

"Anne, are you alright?" Xue Hua took Anne into his arms, looked at the bloody wound on her arm distressedly, and hurriedly beckoned to Zaratusa, signaling it to come over and help.

"I'm fine, master, this kind of wound I didn't know how many times my sister and I had suffered this kind of wound when we were training before, it was just a minor injury, but what about you? Are you alright? Anne's face was slightly pale, but her expression was very calm, and her sister Phnia was holding a bottle of light healing potion, pouring the liquid on the gauze, ready to apply it to her sister's wound.

The expression on her face was also calm, as if she was used to it.

This made Xue Hua sigh, after all, she was born in a war-torn world, if this was in her previous life, a girl of their age was still enjoying a leisurely and happy time on campus.

However, he refuses to use such a thing as "light healing medicine" to wronged his sister's paper, this kind of wound is not good, but it will leave a scar~

"Use this!" He nodded to Zaratusa, who was waiting on the side, and the Mother Worm walked up to the two of them, opened the jet chamber overhead, and sent out a bright yellow mist.

Xue Hua hurriedly exposed the wound on Anne's right arm to the mist, and picked up his clothes himself to receive treatment from the worm mother's feeding.

Just because of the skill of the insect mother, Xue Hua basically never picked up healing potions.

The feeding liquid quickly took effect, and the wounds on the two quickly stopped bleeding, rebuilt muscles, and healed.

This kind of feeding can even regenerate the severed limbs of the Zerg unit, and treating this small injury is a piece of cake.

It didn't take long for the wounds on the two of them to disappear completely, leaving no trace except for some residual blood.

"That's it!" Xue Hua chuckled, looking at the surprised expressions of the two women, and felt a little satisfied in his heart.

Soon, though, the smile on his face grew solemn.

Because of the loss of the vigilance of the king worm, they encountered eight raids like this along the way, if not ten times.

Although most of them were blocked by Zaratusa's guard swarm, there were also a very small number of those who were deeply hidden and were able to rush to Xue Hua's side.

While the thrilling incident just now scared him into a cold sweat, it also reminded him that the underground passage was not as short as he imagined, and the risks inside were much greater than he imagined.

Even Isha's Commander skill was no longer the last layer of protection, and in this dark environment, Isha was able to help him block the next raid, but not a second one during the cooldown.

Just now, it was because Isha had already helped him resist a sudden volley of skeleton archers before, which caused the commander's skill to fall into a cooldown period, so he could no longer help him block the surprise attack of the blade demons.

Luckily, it was the Blade Demon, and if it was a group of crippled monsters rushing at her, Annie's act of knocking him down would likely have caused her to suffer a fatal blow herself.

If that really happens, Xue Hua estimates that he will go crazy.

In order to avoid this terrible thing that he couldn't even think of, Xue Hua began to formally consider whether to use the return scroll to return to Rogue's camp, and then went to ask Akara for help.

But just as he was about to make up his mind, a message suddenly came from the vanguard swarm of Tunam not far away.

- They found a hole.

"Is it an exit?" Xue Hua and the two sisters hurried over under the escort of the guards insect swarm, and soon saw the entrance to the cave that Tunam had mentioned.

"I don't know yet, Juggernaut, the jumping worm I sent to investigate suddenly lost contact with me, but judging by the biological fluctuations in the mind of the main nest, it is still alive, just trapped." Tunam replied.

"Trapped again? What the hell is going on these days? Why is there such a thing that blocks communication everywhere? Xue Hua scolded a little irritably.

I just found a broken castle next to my base, which can also block the communication of the swarm, and there is a big boss-level monster clone in it.

Could it be that there is some unknown strange thing hidden under this underground passage?

Wait a minute!

Xue Hua was suddenly stunned, he remembered that in the game, the underground passage did seem to have a second layer.

Could it be that this cave is not the exit to the dark forest, but the entrance to the second level?

Do you want to go down and have a look?

Xue Hua thought with some hesitation.
