After throwing the base in the cave to Zagara and asking it to immediately start hatching troops and upgrading the swarm to prepare for climbing the three books, Xue Hua ran leisurely to a passage where the worker bees were digging and watched the worker bees quickly lengthen and widen the passage.

It was a passage that Isha had built for him, one end of which connected to a small valley near the Dark Forest, where there were no monsters and no human beings, and it was used as an exit to the secret passage.

Of course, this passage is only used for now, and when Zagala makes a network of tunnel worms in the later stage, Xue Hua can summon tunnel worms anywhere at any time to help him quickly return to this base.

After the biggest problem of the swarm was solved, what Xue Hua had to think about now was how to quickly raise his level, and go to the cathedral catacombs at the right time to solve Sister An's projection, and then take the voucher to Lu Gaoyin.

If a professional wants to go to Lugoin, there are two elements that are indispensable, the first element is to reach level 12 or more, and the second element is to get the kill certificate of the Andariel projection.

Professionals whose level is no more than level 12 will not be able to pass through the level of the Eastern Pass at all, where there is a layer of power detection barrier, which is specifically designed to prevent professionals who are not strong enough from rashly passing through the pass and going to Lugaoin.

That's not to say that the desert area of Lugoin is dangerous, although the monster projection there is actually much more difficult than Camp Rogue, but that's not the main reason.

The main reason is actually the danger on the road.

Professions with too low a rank simply can't cope.

If you want to reach Lugoin, you must follow the caravan forward, otherwise you don't have to worry about the monsters, the vast desert Gobi can kill you, after passing through the Eastern Pass, the caravan will pass through a huge and barren Gobi desert, which is a rare chaotic area, some very strange monsters haunt there, these monsters were originally rare beasts of the shelter world, and after being polluted by the power of hell, they became extremely violent, these guys are not projections and doppelgangers, but deities!

However, although it is a deity, the real strength is actually not very strong, after all, it was just a beast before it was infected, but the so-called not strong is aimed at a caravan that is prepared and has a large number of professionals acting in groups.

Even if a single professional is already level 20, he is still delivering food in front of these demonic beasts with strange and strange abilities.

Moreover, even if they act in groups, professionals below level 12 lack sufficient means of self-protection in the face of such attacks, so the Eastern Pass restricts the level of professionals who have passed through the dead, which must be level 12 or above.

There is no way to fake this, there are no privileges available, and even Akara's face is not used.

Therefore, unless the insect swarm could dig through the eastern mountains of the barrier mountain range before Xue Hua reached level twelve, allowing him to bypass the Eastern Pass directly through the tunnel in the mountain range, he would have to honestly rise to level twelve to pass.

As a result, Xue Hua's current goal has changed from developing a swarm to desperately improving his level.

He originally thought that with the previous speed of the swarm development, he would be able to have the size of the swarm that would challenge Sister An, who would inevitably have an accident, when he got at least level thirteen or fourteen.

Unexpectedly, after being chased and killed by Jericho, he coincidentally discovered this location that was very suitable for the development of the swarm, which made him happy and a little painful at the same time, because his level was now his heart again......

It's just going to die~

"Juggernaut, there's a human above us trying to dig through the tunnel you blew up earlier, and according to the spectral identifier Isha sent me, this is an enemy that I need to lead the swarm to destroy him?"

Just as Xue Hua was bored watching the worker bees digging tunnels, Zagala suddenly said something in the mind of the main nest.

"Digging tunnels? Who is it? I'll take a look at ......" Xue Hua was stunned for a moment, and quickly switched to the perspective of the king worm, only to find that on the platform where he had been before, Jericho was desperately using a whiteboard sword to dig the tunnel that had collapsed before him.

"this thing hasn't given up yet? Is he really going to dig through the tunnel alone? This is clearly unrealistic!? Xue Hua covered his forehead and said in shock.

He didn't expect Jericho's perseverance to be so strong, and he didn't give up in this situation, and insisted on coming to him for trouble?

In fact, Xue Hua was wrong.

Jericho was completely idle, he couldn't get down now, and he would die if he climbed up, and he didn't dare to kill himself, so he had nothing else to do but dig a tunnel.

He once tried to use a rope to hang himself and climb down a little bit, but when he climbed up the mountain, he didn't feel it until he wanted to go down the mountain, and he realized that the wind on this mountain was really strong~

Blowing him, he hung on the rope and swayed from side to side, and he couldn't step on the force point at all.

He was afraid that the rope would be broken as he drank, so he had to climb back onto the platform.

But it was not easy to stay on the platform, because the platform was not large, so he could not set up a tent at all, which caused him to rest in the open air wrapped in a cotton blanket, but this is a mountain, unobstructed, and a layer of cotton blanket is not enough to keep warm.

The weather in Canduras has been the same since the invasion of Hell, and the biggest change in day and night, except for a slight change in the brightness of the sky, is probably the temperature.

It's okay during the day, the temperature is at least about nine to ten degrees, sometimes it will rise to eleven or twelve degrees, although it is cold, but ordinary people can easily endure it, but once it is night, the temperature will plummet to minus five or six degrees, ordinary people do not do a good job of keeping warm, there is a possibility of being directly frozen to death.

And this is still on flat ground.

Not to mention in the mountains, where the temperature is below zero during the day and even drips into ice at night!

Although professionals do not get sick, extreme cold weather can reduce the recovery speed of physical strength and even aggravate the injuries on the body.

And it's so cold that I can't sleep at all!

Jericho endured a night of freezing cold and the constant rebellion of his internal organs in extreme cold conditions, and the next day he decided - this could not be done again!

He had to build a shelter on the mountain to protect him from the wind and rain, or he might even freeze if it rained at night!

In fact, he had encountered this situation before in Harlogas, which was much colder than Camp Rogue.

It's just that at that time, he had complete supplies, enough physical strength, various tools, and warm fabrics that were completely enough to keep out the cold.

But what about now?

He doesn't have anything, the supplies themselves are not enough, and now he has to save money, even a small piece of pancake has to be divided into two meals, and the physical strength potion has also been used up, he now has to dig for a while and rest for a while to recover his strength, and the tools are completely gone, except for the long sword in his hand that he doesn't know when to throw into the inventory, digging a hole with a sword is really not a good choice, and he is not a sword immortal......

As for the thermal fabric......

It's just a cotton blanket~

Although Jericho has realized that his time is not long.

But the instinct to survive still drove him to try to save his life.

At least not to freeze to death in the mountains.

Unfortunately, his actions were misinterpreted by Zagala as trying to dig through the tunnel to attack the swarm's nest, and because he was so persistent before, Xue Hua had every reason to believe that he hadn't given up yet.

If Jericho knew the idea of this person and a worm, I'm afraid he would cry out loud~

God, he just wanted to dig a place to keep out the wind......
