Take the Vampire Empress with you when the game launches!

There's a saying that goes, "Once you've been there, you'll want to go again, and again..." The power of temptation is immense. Insect Princess really wanted to go back to the surface world; it was much more interesting than the underground world.

On the other side, Qin Yu and his group found a remote place and began digging down into the underground world.

The Zerg have built nests in the underground world that are comparable in size to a small country, where they live a self-sufficient life.

The purpose of this hive is to protect the future successor of the Zerg, the Queen. When the Zerg were defeated in the war against the Titans, the Queen led most of the Zerg away from this world to escape the Titans' pursuit.

To eliminate this thorn in their side, the Titans led all of them in pursuit of the Zerg, but this was merely a plan by the Zerg Queen.

Knowing she couldn't defeat the Titans, she pinned her hopes on the next generation of Insect Princesses. She would lead the other Insectoids to evade and delay the Titans' pursuit, giving the Insect Princesses a chance to grow.

When the time is right, she will send the insect race to recall the Insect Princess and pass on all her power to her. The insect race will definitely be more powerful in the hands of the Insect Princess than in her own hands.

Qin Yu and his group have now approached the underground hive created by the Zerg. To ensure they are not discovered by the Zerg inside, Qin Yu first checked the situation.

"There are no Zerg around here, come in."

After making sure there were no Zerg nearby, Qin Yu had Xing Nai and the others enter the Zerg hive.

"This place is so...it's making me feel uncomfortable..."

The underground world is always dark and devoid of natural light. If one is not used to living in such a place, one will definitely feel uncomfortable.

"Do the Zerg live in places like this now?"

Nidhogg's understanding of the Zerg was limited to the historical accounts of the Dragon Realm, where the Zerg were the absolute overlords.

They can rely on preying on other creatures to evolve and change their genes, allowing the fittest to survive and become more powerful, but this only applies to those insectoids that possess their own intelligence.

The weak Zerg are mass-produced beings, uniformly evolved and modified. Their duty is to serve as cannon fodder, and they have no complaints because they are all loyal to one single being, the Zerg Queen.

The queen's orders were paramount to them.

"This place is too big. Let's split up and search. Contact us if we find anything, and try to avoid contact with other Zerg."

"Is the Queen Insect really here?"

Hoshina couldn't help but ask.

"They may not be there, but finding the controller of this hive should allow us to obtain information about the queen."

So Qin Yu and his group of seven split up and acted separately.

Qin Yu, Xing Nai, and Xing Yue on one side

Starry Sky, Dreamy Side

Nidhogg, Sylph on one side

Qin Yu and his group took the left passage, not knowing where it led. The further they went, the narrower the passage became. They had no idea what the Zerg were using this place for.

"There are very faint signs of biological life ahead..."

Qin Yu could already sense a great many life fluctuations at the far end, though they were faint, they were numerous.

Should we continue forward and see?

"Of course."

The three continued forward, and the narrow passage gradually widened. They finally reached the end, which was a huge incubator.

Inside the hatchery, the eggs were densely packed together, and Qin Yu and the others realized where they had come from.

"This is where the Zerg hatch their larvae; it's truly a blessing for people with trypophobia..."

The densely packed insect eggs were visually unsettling, but fortunately, Qin Yu and the other two did not feel any discomfort.

Qin Yu entered the hatchery. The walls inside seemed to be alive, constantly wriggling. Xing Nai and Xing Yue, afraid of getting dirty and disgusted, did not follow him in.

"The hatchery of the insect hive must be a very important place, so the owner of the insect hive should also appear here, right?"

Qin Yu guessed that way, but he was wrong. Who would have thought that the owner of a bug hive was someone who stayed in his room and rarely came to the hive?

Xingyu and his team

The brother and sister walked aimlessly through the passage, with Mengran holding Xingyu's hand the whole time and barely saying a word.

"Xiao Ran, which way should we go?"

Xingyu finally managed to speak, but it was only to ask which way to go at the fork in the road.

After sensing for a moment, Mengran slowly said, "There are a lot of life signals on the left, I don't recommend it."

"So we go to the right?"

One on the left and one on the right, only

With these two options, if the left option is not feasible, then we can only go to the right option.

Mengran nodded, and the two continued on their way.

Walking through the passage, Xingyu could clearly hear the sounds around him, which were probably the sounds of the Zerg moving around. Fortunately, they didn't see any Zerg on the path they had chosen.

"There's another fork in the road."

The two encountered another fork in the road.

"This way."

Mengran acted as a guide. Although Mengran's attitude was indeed a bit cold, Xingyu still felt that his younger sister was quite good. It was just that she was too cold to others.

After several twists and turns, the two arrived at a place frequented by Zerg. There, something seemed very important, which the Zerg were guarding closely. They also saw Zerg carrying something that looked like food into the room, but they didn't know why.

"What exactly is inside?" Xingyu muttered to himself. Something that the Zerg are guarding so closely must be very important, right?

"There is a powerful life force inside, the strongest one we've seen in the Zerg hive so far."

Mengran replied earnestly, and at the same time, she slowly drew the Sword of the Dead, her intentions unclear.

"Xiao Ran, you're not going to make a move, are you?" Xing Yu quickly grabbed Meng Ran. They agreed to contact the others after finding them, so why did they make a move first? Making a move now might provoke a siege by a bunch of Zerg, and they didn't come here for the Zerg war at all.

Just then, the surrounding Zerg made a move. They seemed to have discovered the anomaly in the nest and rushed to other places, leaving only a few guards to watch over the room.

"I hope something's happened to Qin Yu and the others..."

Xingyu guessed this, hoping they would be alright and not be discovered. By the time Xingyu came to his senses, Mengran had already dealt with the few Zerg guards and was now at the door of the room.

"Xiao Ran, wait for me." Xing Yu could only follow.

The Zerg in the hive were all drawn to the commotion from Nidhogg and Sylph's side.

Not long ago, these two seemed to have caused some major trouble, which led to the incursion of a massive Zerg army from the hive...

Chapter 461 The Endless Zerg

Nidhogg and the wind sprite Sylph on their side

When two people who are not very familiar with each other walk together, it is inevitable that some unnecessary friction will occur, especially since they are two people whose personalities do not get along.

"Shouldn't we have gone to the right?" the wind sprite Sylph complained.

"If you want to go to the right, then go back."

Nidhogg didn't care about Sylph's complaints at all. For her, going her own way was the only way to go. She wouldn't listen to the orders of a little wind sprite.

"..."

Sylph stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at Nidhogg. This guy's attitude really annoyed her. So what if he's the Black Dragon King?

She simply stopped talking and let Nidhogg walk on her own, to see where she would end up.

The two continued forward until they came to a dead end, where they stood motionless for a long time.

"Pfft..."

Finally, Sylph couldn't help but laugh out loud, while Nidhogg looked completely bewildered; she hadn't expected this to be a dead end.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

However, Sylph's laughter was particularly grating, and Nidhogg's entire face trembled. This girl was so annoying.

"Hahaha, keep going! There's no road ahead. Let's see how you go on!"

Sylph surrounded Nidhogg, entering a 360-degree stereo taunting mode.

Nidhogg's face darkened with anger.

Swish!

Nidhogg's dragon tail wrapped around Sylph, who was flying around mocking her, and then lifted her up in front of him.

"Who says you can't walk if there's no road ahead?"

Boom!

Suddenly, Nidhogg threw a punch that pierced through the dead end in front of him, opening up the other side.

Then, she grabbed Sylph and continued forward.

"Hey! You'll attract the Zerg by doing that!"

Sylph struggled in Nidhogg's grasp; she was so unlucky to have such a stupid teammate.

"Shut up, little guy. The Zerg have all been drawn here. The others are safe now."

Nidhogg was trying to justify his impulsive behavior.

"Then we'll become the bait!"

Sylph was stunned. Was this some kind of joke?

The sounds of countless insectoid creatures crawling could be heard not far away; they had to shake them off as soon as possible.

You're right.

Nidhogg continued forward without fear, while Sylph tried to break free from her grasp.

Inside the hatchery on the other side, Qin Yu and his group also noticed the activity in the insect nest, but they were now in a much more difficult situation.

The larvae in those hatcheries have already hatched from their eggs and have set their sights on Qin Yu and his group.

Xingnai and Xingyue, who were outside, dared not go in, leaving Qin Yu alone inside surrounded by insects.

"Still it hasn't appeared?"

Qin Yu wanted the master behind the insect nest to show himself, but even though the larvae in the hatchery had all awakened, the master still hadn't appeared.
