Chapter 129: Strange Ruins (Ask for Collection~Ask for Recommendation~)
The journey back to the nest was smooth, and although the two girls who were traveling on the king worm for the first time were still a little afraid of the big guy that would stuff them into their stomachs, the warm and stable belly made them quickly adapt.
Due to the great battle that had just broken out in the Rogue camp, many of the professionals were injured to varying degrees, and they were not ready for the next training, so there were no people in the entire stone field.
Therefore, Xue Hua was also relieved to boldly use the king insect to travel quickly.
It was still the tunnel on the mountain wall that had been dug through by Zagala before, and Xue Hua and the sisters quickly came to the worm nest in the belly of the mountain under the guidance of Zagara.
Although he had been shocked many times by the expansion ability of the insect swarm after having enough resources, Xue Hua was still shocked every time he checked the development of the base through the eyes of the king insect.
And when he was there in person, this feeling was even stronger.
The insect swarm has completely hollowed out the belly of a huge mountain, so this place is dozens of times larger than when he left, the entire mountainside space is covered with fungus blankets and fungus blanket tumors, dozens of germs and insects are releasing fungus mist on the fungus blanket, and the entire space is a purple mist.
The worker bees are no longer visible, and according to Zagalla, the edge of the hive has begun to extend deeper into the ground.
Worker bees are prospecting and mining there, and the hives here have become the main hives in the mountain's belly, and the main hive, the future tertiary base, will also be born here.
Even Xue Hua, the master, was shocked, and the two little girls who saw this scene for the first time were even more stunned, almost thinking that they were in a dream.
They stared blankly at the huge, pulsating Zerg buildings and the larvae crawling on the ground, not knowing how to describe their feelings.
Xue Hua had told them that the swarm had a huge base hidden in the mountains of the Barrier Mountain Range.
But they had the impression that the concept of "huge" was the size of Camp Roger.
At this point, however, the space they saw was already the size of two Rogue camps, not counting the caverns and deeper underground grottoes obscured by the oddly shaped "buildings" (the sisters were highly suspicious of the term).
The two girls followed behind Xue Hua in a trance, letting him lead them forward, everything that appeared in front of them was too bizarre, making it difficult for them to fully accept it for a while.
Xue Hua understood their feelings, and suddenly saw such a thing that shocked his three views, no one could calm down, so he didn't bother them.
At this time, the best way is to let them digest it all on their own.
"Zagalla, where are the remains of the human architecture you mentioned?" After visiting the hive, which had become super large, Xue Hua remembered the main purpose of his visit.
"Here, follow me, Juggernaut." Zagala led the way, leading Xue Hua and the two girls who had not yet recovered to their senses to a tunnel that shone with a faint light.
"Our worker bees are looking for more ore veins, they have found a small enclosed canyon, when the worker bees dug through the canyon walls, they found some stone building remains inside, the wreckage exudes a faint ghostly disturbance, I have sent a worker bee to explore the wreckage according to your orders, but so far, the worker bees have not sent back any valuable information."
Zagala led Xue Hua and the others through the tunnel, explaining the current situation to him.
"Can't connect to the field of view of the probing worker bees? What's going on? Xue Hua tried to share the vision of the worker bees who were doing reconnaissance, but there was no response in the mind of the main nest.
"The psionic disturbances in that wreckage are faint, but their wavelengths are peculiar, and they seem to be able to isolate all psionic probes within it." Isha explained in the mind of the main nest.
"And this kind of operation? But that's too long, right? Why haven't the worker bees come back yet? Is that a big place? Xue Hua pulled two little mercenaries and climbed up to the exit of the tunnel on the mountain wall with the help of Zagara, and the slightly dazzling light woke the two girls from their trance.
"Yo~ Wake up?" He rubbed the heads of the two girls with a hint of humor, and looked back in the direction that Zagala had pointed out in the cute expressions of the two girls pouting and angry.
They were located in a small canyon surrounded by mountains, which was not large, but it was beautiful and very quiet.
Except for the chirping of birds and insects, there is no familiar howl of monsters.
This is clearly a paradise unaffected by the forces of hell.
And in the middle of this paradise, Xue Hua saw a tall stone castle-like building.
Most of the building has collapsed, leaving only a few remnants of walls and half-towers looming among the low trees.
Looking from Xue Hua's position, you can also see the turquoise creeper crawling along the collapsed columns on the ground and the broken castle arches covering most of the building debris, rendering the entire castle ruins with a sense of history.
"How can there be a castle in this place? How exactly did the builders get in? Xue Hua frowned, withdrew his gaze, and squinted his eyes and muttered to himself in confusion.
"Juggernaut! Our worker bees have lost contact! Zagala hissed suddenly, and the jet cavity above his head suddenly opened.
"Indeed!" Xue Hua himself felt that the worker bee that had received attention had disappeared from the mind of the main nest.
"Zagara! Assemble the swarm! Let's find out! He immediately turned his head and ordered the Mother Hive.
Zagala suddenly screamed loudly, and the surrounding mountain walls collapsed, and countless Zerg units poured out of the caves in the mountain walls, gathering in the direction of the castle.
Xue Hua nodded, and a huge king worm descended from the sky, its tentacles extended, and the three of them were taken into their abdominal sacs, and then flew in the direction where the insect swarm gathered.
At the wreckage of the castle, the swarm army had completely surrounded the place, everything around it had been bulldozed, and the entire building was no longer exposed in front of Xue Hua.
"Juggernaut, do you need the swarm to destroy these ruins?" Zagala hissed in the mind of the main nest asked.
"Don't do it for the time being, send your insect mother and let it go in with the swarm troops, and all the other insect swarms will stay outside for the time being."
"Understood, Juggernaut." Zaga stretched out his knuckle, and the Mother of Worms, Nacotur, stepped out from behind it, leading the swarm of more than a hundred into the broken arches of the castle.
Xue Hua on the king worm opened the observation table in the abdominal pouch, so that the two girls could also see the exploration below.
"Huh? The coat of arms ......" Suddenly, her sister Anne frowned, and her eyes focused on somewhere in the broken tower inside the castle, where was half a huge shield coat of arms, on which was engraved a rose and the hilt of a long sword, the blade of which was clearly broken with the tower.
"What's wrong?" Xue Hua looked at Anne and asked suspiciously.
"Hmm... Looks like I've seen it somewhere... It seems to be a book ......," Annie frowned at some uncertainties.
At this moment, Xue Hua's main nest suddenly heard a mixed hiss and the scream of the insect mother Nakotur.
"The swarm is under attack! The biters are under attack! The attackers are very powerful! We have suffered heavy casualties! ”
"Get out of here!" Xue Hua hurriedly ordered a retreat.
"Retreating! But it's fast! We're too late! Long live the Juggernaut! Nakotur let out a final scream, and then there was no more life in the mind of the main nest.
A few minutes later, the psionic markers of Nakotur and the more than a hundred Zerg units disappeared from the mind of the main nest.
This is the first mid-level commander Xue Hua has died in battle since he got the Zerg.
"Damn! What the hell is this?! Xue Hua cursed, this thing actually killed more than a hundred people in less than ten minutes, with a reasonable mix of troops and a swarm commanded by the insect mother?
"Zagalla, is there any record of the battle before the Nacotur Psionic Beacon disappeared?" Xue Hua asked Zagala in the mind of the main nest.
"Only a very messy record of psionic information coming back, Master." Zagara's tone was dangerous, and it was clear that the Hive Mother had been enraged.
"What's in there?" Xue Hua frowned, he was not very satisfied with this answer, the psionic information record was equivalent to a written record, and in most cases it had no effect, but he still asked.
However, Zagara's answer surprised him.
"Our swarm troops, all burned to death, dominate, is a very powerful flame."
"Even the cockroaches were burned to death? Cockroaches are almost immune to fire! Xue Hua asked in disbelief.
"Yes, Juggernaut." Zagala replied in the affirmative.
"Damn it! What's in there? Is there a demon body? Xue Hua frowned, the barrier mountain range was the back garden he had personally chosen, and there was such a thing in his own back garden, how could he be at ease?
"Ahh I remember! Just when Xue Hua was a little irritable, Anne suddenly shouted, and then pointed to the half of the badge on the castle and shouted to Xue Hua.
"The hosts! I remembered what this badge meant! ”
