Thirteenth month of death

Chapter 171 The Mystery of the Worm
"Gone?"

On the ground, Li Daosheng received a message from Ren Ou.

Huaque also stopped and looked at him.

"Well, we found a huge insect egg, it's empty." Ren Ou said.

"How do you know for sure it's the egg of the royal pest?" Li Daosheng asked.

"Danger level," Ren Ou did not hide it, "its eggs are currently the most dangerous."

So that's how it is. Li Daosheng believed Ren Ou's judgment.

"What's your opinion?" he asked.

"In this place, the boundary between humans and insects is confused. It is possible that the royal pest has turned into a human form and is somewhere in the gathering place." Ren Ou replied.

"Since the royal pests below have disappeared, you should come up quickly." Li Daosheng said. He always felt unsafe staying underground.

But this time, Ren Ou didn't agree.

After a pause, Ren Ou's voice came: "I want to continue investigating. These two people have turned into insects in my eyes. I want to know the reason."

Ren Ou was a man with his own opinions, so Li Daosheng didn't say anything more after hearing what he said.

"Okay, then be careful."

"Ah."

Huaque came forward and asked, "What's new?"

"Well, the royal pest has hatched, leaving behind an empty shell. It should be somewhere in this gathering place." Li Daosheng gave a brief explanation.

Unexpectedly, just after he said this, the sky above the entire gathering place seemed to fluctuate strangely.

There seemed to be some inconspicuous changes around.

Both of them were people with keen senses and immediately realized what seemed to be happening around them.

"Did it hear it?" Flower Bird asked in a low voice.

Li Daosheng looked around and said, "If everything here is under its control, it would be strange if we can't hear anything."

The changes in the entire gathering place have become very obvious, and the royal pest has already known that they have discovered the abnormality of the gathering place.

The two were standing in front of the door of the sleeping hall.

This is a seemingly ordinary building, but the door frame is wrapped with vine-like nerve bundles, and a living eyeball is embedded in the door handle, which is moving left and right, as if looking at something.

"I really don't even want to act anymore." Hua Que looked at the sleeping hall. As soon as she fiddled with the nerve bundle wrapped around the door handle, those thin tissues immediately wrapped around her fingers and wriggled like snakes.

However, the next moment, it was eaten by a flower bird insect.

The fourth place is the sleeping hall.

After solving the abnormality in the sleeping hall, there is only one last thing left.

But now, as Ren Ou and his team advanced into the underground insect nest, changes also occurred on the ground due to the disclosure of information.

What made Li Daosheng feel a little strange was, what was the purpose of the royal pest covering up everything before?
More importantly, it's the ability of the royal pest...

Li Daosheng did not forget that the time in this Tanlong gathering place was completely different from that outside the mountain.

Has the ability of this insect become so exaggerated that it can change the world?

He didn't quite believe it.

Li Daosheng always felt that this newly born royal pest must have encountered some trouble.

Why did the changes in the entire gathering place, or the lack of concealment, occur after Ren Ou informed him?
Because I already know that the royal plague has hatched, and the entire gathering place is controlled by some kind of ability of it, so all concealment is meaningless, so why not just not conceal it?

Although it makes sense logically, it would be the same if the royal pest did not do such a thing. It has no reason to specifically cancel the "disguise" of the Tanlong gathering place.

Newly hatched insects...

An idea popped into Li Daosheng's mind.

Is it possible that the newly hatched royal pest has no idea that it is a bug?
Its cognition of itself is synchronized with theirs, so the changes in the entire Tanlong gathering place will be updated as its cognition is updated.

This can better explain the changes in the entire Tanlong gathering area.

But if this speculation is true...

Li Daosheng glanced at Hua Que, who was about to kick the door open. This indicated a high probability... that the newly hatched royal pest was most likely right next to them.

"what happened?"

Huaque was very sensitive and immediately felt Li Daosheng's gaze and turned around to ask.

"Nothing, go in."

Li Daosheng shook his head and motioned for her to open the door.

Is it her...

Huaque didn't seem to suspect anything. The moment he opened the door, a sweet fragrance hit him in the face.

This is not an ordinary incense, but more like a biological pheromone that directly acts on the olfactory center of the brain.

After smelling the fragrance, the two of them felt their temples suddenly throbbing and the world in front of them gradually became distorted before they even stepped into the sleeping hall.

The interior of the sleeping pavilion is like a giant honeycomb, with countless translucent cocoon-like cabins placed everywhere and even hanging from the ceiling.

Each compartment is connected to a thick bundle of nerves, which transmit some kind of energy like an umbilical cord.

"It's them?!"

When Li Daosheng looked up, he accidentally saw two people in the cabin.

Wu Keyong and Chen Qing!

"[Season 5] Those two?"

Flowerbird asked.

"Yeah." Li Daosheng frowned and looked at Wu Keyong and Chen Qing who were locked in the sleeping cabin. It seemed that they had arrived here a long time ago.

In other sleeping cabins, he and Huaque also saw many strange half-human, half-insect creatures.

Ren Ou said that he also found this thing in the underground insect pool.

At this moment, Huaque suddenly turned around, with green light in her eyes. She controlled those nerve bundles and attacked Li Daosheng together!
Li Daosheng wanted to lift the sword, but when he grasped the hilt, he found that the sword had become extremely heavy, as if it were filled with lead.

"wind."

He used the ability of Feng Hui and immediately dodged away.

However, the next moment, countless nerve bundles wrapped around his ankles, and some substance was injected into his body through the nerve bundles.

"Why……"

Li Daosheng just felt his eyelids were heavy and he wanted to sleep.

Huh?
wrong!

Suddenly, Li Daosheng realized that he was still at the door of the sleeping hall and had not gone in.

His eyes suddenly opened.

He and Huaque were standing at the door of the sleeping pavilion, safe and sound, and nothing had happened.

There were no sudden attacks from the flower sparrows, and no bundles of nerves were tangled in the house.

The only thing that was the same as my previous memory was that the door of the sleeping hall was indeed open.

Moreover, through the door frame, one could indeed see two people entangled on the ceiling. They were Chen Qing and Wu Keyong.

This place... is so weird and powerful.

I just opened the door and suddenly fell into a dream.

Li Daosheng slapped Huaque on the shoulder.

The woman suddenly came to her senses, took a step back in horror, turned around and saw Li Daosheng, and was about to take action, but immediately stopped.

"call……"

"It was so dangerous. I just had a dream. After we went in, you suddenly attacked me and cut my neck with a sword."

Li Daosheng looked inside the house and said, "Almost."
