But the cave was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, and there was a chilling, eerie feeling about it.
Fortunately, both Bian Lang and Shangguan Hongyu can see in the dark.
The cave walls were covered with moss, and small insects were wriggling inside the moss. Bats or venomous snakes even lived in some of the crevices.
Even Shangguan Hongyu felt nervous entering such a cave.
On the contrary, Bian Lang's eyes shone with excitement.
The creatures living in this cave were the unexpected delight he had mentioned earlier.
The cave was inhabited by a large number of poisonous creatures, but as the two ventured deeper, not a single one jumped out to attack them.
This only further proves that the owner of this cave was extremely terrifying.
But when they reached the end of the cave and saw the so-called cave owner, both of them were somewhat bewildered.
It was because deep within the cave, in a vast space, lay a large, white, jade-like worm.
This giant insect was as thick as several people could hug, and its curled-up body was tens of meters long.
Looking at that fair skin, Bian Lang swallowed hard and said, "Wife, this thing must be very nourishing."
"Do you need any more?" Shangguan Hongyu asked disdainfully.
Even with nights of revelry, it seems Bian Lang has inexhaustible energy.
The insect seemed to be sleeping, not moving at all.
Bian Lang walked closer and gently touched the insect; it was incredibly soft.
"Honey, looking at this adorable big bug, is it really the king of this bug valley?" Shangguan Hongyu asked doubtfully.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "In the Zerg, the highest-ranking person is always the queen. For example, in ants, the queen is the most respected."
"You mean this big bug is only responsible for laying eggs?" Shangguan Hongyu asked in astonishment.
Bian Lang said, "That's how it feels."
Just then, the insect suddenly moved, and an incredibly round head popped out, glaring with a pair of bright, large eyes, and roared angrily, "You think I'm just an egg-laying creature?"
Shangguan Hongyu was startled when she suddenly heard the insect speak.
Bian Lang remained calm and chuckled, "The stone walls in this cave are covered with insect eggs. Isn't that your doing?"
The giant insect did not answer, after all, what Bian Lang said was true.
Its greatest purpose is to lay eggs.
Throughout the year, the number of insect eggs He produces is enormous.
All those insect eggs will turn into various insects, continuing to live in the insect valley or spreading to the surrounding mountains and forests.
That's why Insect Valley can be considered the dominant force in the area.
Not to mention those arrogant insectoids, even powerful human cultivators wouldn't dare to run wild in the Insect Valley.
Bian Lang and his group were able to penetrate deep into the Insect Valley without encountering any trouble, and walked straight into the cave, simply because the nine-headed monkey and the eight-headed monkey were too powerful in their deterrent effect on the insects.
Bian Lang said, "I'm going to stew you to nourish your body. I don't think you have any objections, do you?"
"Humans are indeed very powerful, more so than many other creatures in this world, but here, no matter how powerful a human is, they can't run wild," the giant worm roared.
Its voice sounds very gentle, making it somewhat difficult to distinguish between male and female.
Shangguan Hongyu looked relaxed, knowing that Bian Lang was just joking and that the chances of stewing the big worm to replenish her body were very small.
Bian Lang said, "I only ask you this: are you going to leave on your own, or do you want me to kill you and take your body with me?"
"Why don't you two leave your corpses behind? I love eating rotting corpses." The giant worm certainly enjoyed joking.
Shangguan Hongyu raised her hand, about to make a move, but then she heard rustling sounds all around her.
In an instant, a large number of poisonous insects crawled in from all directions.
Bian Lang didn't turn his head to look, but just smiled and said, "In the face of absolute strength, quantity can't solve any problems."
“You can give it a try,” the big worm said.
Don't underestimate the ants just because they are small; with their sheer numbers, they can take down an elephant.
Ordinary insects are just insects; they have no brains.
But all the insects in this insect valley obey the commands of the giant insect, thus working together to defeat any powerful enemy.
But when Shangguan Hongyu revealed a little of her strength, the giant worm became visibly nervous, its body trembling slightly as it asked in surprise, "Are you a monster?"
They are very experienced in dealing with humans, but their chances of winning against powerful monsters are not high.
Under the intimidation of Shangguan Hongyu's powerful demonic energy, the insects dared not approach.
The giant worm was indeed very nervous at this moment, after all, its own combat power was very limited.
This is His lair, protected by billions of poisonous insects; it should be a very safe place.
However, Bian Lang and his group easily arrived here with the help of the Nine-Headed Monkey and others. What's even more outrageous is that Shangguan Hongyu is actually a monster, and a monster with extremely powerful demonic energy, which is clearly their nemesis.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "Let's go outside and talk."
By now, it should already be daylight outside.
"What exactly do you want?" The big bug was quite nervous when it heard that it was time to go outside.
You must know that He has always lived in this dark cave and has never seen any light. Not to mention sunlight, even moonlight could kill Him.
Bian Lang said, "The Zerg are infected with a strange disease. I think you should know what it is. We came here to find an antidote."
“We are the Zerg,” the giant insect said.
Shangguan Hongyu said, "You know we're talking about the Undead Insect Race."
The giant worm fell silent again.
A mortal and a monster would actually stand up for the undead insect race; truly, the world is full of wonders.
