The main point is that it was actually a very large, primitive, barren planet, covered entirely with forest vegetation.
The star beasts inside are even more ferocious than the orcs themselves, and many orcs are unwilling to go there. So, unless some criminals are driven to desperation, ordinary people wouldn't be there, much less discover this wormhole.
"How did the Zerg discover it?"
This is very intriguing. Like they said, it's on a desolate planet with a vast primeval forest containing star beasts. It's so remote that even the orcs themselves probably hadn't discovered this passage. So how did the insectoids find it?
Just a second ago, Hu Mingli was guessing that His Majesty had revealed the wormhole to the Zerg, but other people's questions provided another breakthrough.
Even if His Majesty may have concealed this wormhole, does His Majesty know that the other end of the wormhole is on the border of the Orcs?
If this wormhole wasn't revealed by "one of our own," then who was it?
How would I know?
Mei Shi rolled her eyes. Did she really think she was some kind of prophet?
They were just saying what they knew; surely it couldn't be that the Zerg and Orcs were colluding?
Mei Shi pursed her lips. The orcs didn't really like the Zerg anymore. Apart from the humans and Zerg often fighting and launching large-scale battles, the orcs often had one-on-one fights with the Zerg.
"But now that you mention it, it reminds me of something..."
Hu Mingli's voice suddenly became softer. It wasn't that his thoughts were jumping around too much; it was just that, listening to Mingmei's words, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered the incident in the alien sea.
Is there a human-orc hybrid named Hek in the outer sea who once colluded with the Zerg?
With nowhere else to turn, they fled to outer space.
The orcs are no closer to the outer sea than the Sixth Legion is.
Hu Mingli couldn't help but think of another possibility—
Did these Zerg actually obtain their information from Heck?
No one knows how Hek escaped the orcs' pursuit after committing a crime.
How did they manage to escape all the way to the outer sea?
Hu Mingli even felt that this wormhole might be the real reason why Heck was able to escape in the first place.
If he really did arrive through this wormhole, it's not impossible that he first reached the Empire's territory, then fled to the outer sea to escape pursuit.
Because he opened up this path, he could even go back and gather another group of criminals to return to the outer sea.
Feng Li had told him before that there were many beastmen in the alien sea who had committed heinous crimes and were now following Hek.
It would be unreasonable to say that Hek conquered these people simply by using his military force.
However, if it was Haike who rescued them in this critical moment and brought them to the outer sea, obtaining a promise of loyalty, then it would be possible to explain why Haike was able to gather so many vicious and ruthless people around him, who revered him.
As Hu Mingli's younger sister, Hu Yue sat there listening attentively without saying a word.
But as siblings, they still had a certain understanding. Hu Yue saw Hu Mingli's expression, and also recalled that he himself had played that game before.
She had also noticed it.
Although there are all sorts of races gathered in the alien sea, the orcs make up a significant portion of the population.
The time Hu Yue spent in the game "Alien Sea" allowed her to get to know a unique Alien Sea.
Outsiders say it's a paradise for criminals, and countless people have fallen into depravity there.
But when she was actually in the game, she discovered that truly vicious people, or even those who were inherently evil, were extremely rare.
Most of the time, it's out of necessity, and there are even a very few oddballs, like Kelian.
Those who had gained freedom through sin re-entered the dungeon, preferring to be subject to some rules and regulations and living a more peaceful life than before.
Another group of people, even if they enter the underground city, are only doing so to cover up their lawless and heinous acts, just like the group under Hek.
Hu Yue was also very curious about what kind of situation could bring these vicious people together.
If Hek knew, did he tell the Zerg?
Hu Yue had this idea, but after hearing another story from Feng Li, Hu Mingli's mind became even more confused.
Feng Li bluntly told him that their Sixth Legion's current predicament was related to their Emperor.
Since it was related to His Majesty, after going through the whole story with Haike, Hu Mingli couldn't help but feel his back teeth bleeding.
There were some things he couldn't delve into; if he did, Hu Mingli felt he was going crazy...
"Don't overthink it. If you really want to find out the truth, just investigate it thoroughly now." Seeing the conflicted look in Hu Mingli's eyes, Mingyi finally sighed and said this.
He turned his head and glanced at Mingmei, who had been watching the whole thing unfold, and sighed silently. Mingmei was certain that her father was openly showing his disdain for her.
