Laws of the Insect Hive

Coming to the vicinity of the relic portal several hundred meters deep underground, Ying further sensed and found that the location of the activated giant building was still a certain distance away.

Probably in the underground about a thousand meters diagonally below the portal.

If he hadn't encountered this snail, it would have been impossible for System to discover that there was such a building diagonally below the portal.

And with an excavator that seemed to swim in the dirt, it would not take System much time to reach the location of the underground building.

After more than ten hours, System and several other bugs successfully came to a thousand-meter-deep underground.

With the magic crystal used by Shadow activating a blue crystal a few meters in size, the earth trembled violently as if it were an earthquake...

The huge blue crystal emits a faint blue fluorescence, and at the same time, a layer of blue light shield appears to block the outside world, so that the soil and the building are completely isolated.

System could vaguely see the gray tiles exposed on the ground after the soil was isolated, as well as the strange patterns on some stone tiles.

During the vibration, System felt that the earth was slowly rising, and System gradually realized what the gigantic building activated by the Shadow Studio was.

"Is it a building similar to a floating island!?"

A hoarse voice came out of System's mouth, but just after his words passed, the giant blue crystal suddenly went out as if the energy was unstable, and the blue mask that protected and isolated several insects also disappeared, and at the same time the earth's The tremor stopped, and System and several other bugs were also buried by the falling dirt.

Perhaps it was due to insufficient residual energy on the floating island, or for other reasons, the floating building stopped after only a few tens of centimeters, and did not rise from the ground to the sky.

However, not activating the floating island was in line with System's always low-key development direction.

If this floating island really flew, System would not know what to do with this floating island-like building.

After all, the floating island is too high-profile, and it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble.

a few hours later.

After the excavator worked hard, System and the other bugs finally returned to the ground.

Because the soil near the swamp is generally wet and loose, the tremors of the floating island a few hours ago did not change the ground much.

Some cracks and irregular uplifts on the ground are not very obvious, and in large swamp areas, no changes can be observed.

By observing the cracks and bulges on the surrounding ground, System knew that the building rising underground was probably a circular building with a diameter of about a kilometer.

And this short "earthquake" did not arouse the attention of any abyss creatures.

Several magical step creatures in other territories within more than a thousand meters are still acting as usual in the territory.

Several giant snakes and large toads, or patrolling the territory, or resting have not changed.

In order to prevent the abyss creatures from competing for territory and causing possible troubles, after discovering that the magical creatures in the abyss have territorial consciousness, System did not exterminate the nearby magical creatures, but only allowed the shadows to carry out these magical creatures from time to time. Observed.

However, after hearing the snail's description of the Monad swamp, System felt that it should be fine to properly clean up these magic.

Of course, all of this was based on the premise that the snail did not deceive him, and System would still have to investigate the truth of what the snail said was true or not.

...

Although this building, which is buried deep in the ground and resembles a floating island, lacks energy and cannot fly, there will definitely be something hidden in the building of the floating island, and there may be some buildings, and some other things.

After simple thinking and planning, System suspended the construction of the underground lair with the excavator, and let the excavator dig the underground floating island.

If this underground floating island has a lot of valuable buildings, System would not mind taking this underground floating island as the center and transforming it into his underground city in the abyss.

...

...

The excavator's excavation of the underground floating island began immediately after System gave the order.

In his spare time when he was cultivating the Devil's Nest, System also always paid attention to the excavator's underground exploration.

After more than ten days of excavation, the excavator did not disappoint System. It found a building cloister buried in gray stone bricks, and also found two strange spherical halls in the cloister.

It is a pity that there is nothing in these two halls except the gray stone bricks.

Besides System, the one who pays the most attention to the underground building is Ola the Butterfly.

In recent days, in addition to staring at the large crystal several meters high underground, this lazy butterfly is uncharacteristically, and will often urge the excavator when it is digging.

The reason is not that Aura has any ambition to take possession of the floating island, but Aura feels that there must be a treasure house in this underground building.

In Ola's words, she felt the call from the treasure.

Dragons are born with an extraordinary enthusiasm for treasures, and perhaps Aura has some sense of treasures, and System does not care much about it.

In addition to researching the Devil's Nest from time to time, and occasionally receiving calls from the abyss from different planes, System is waiting for the ant people to return from the half plane, and listening to Snail Jie while waiting. s' flattery.

System really liked to listen to snail's flattery. Although most of the snail's words were exaggerated, System sounded very comfortable.

However, System is not carrying the snail all the time to flatter him, but by asking some questions that have been asked of the snail and comparing it with the video data in the [Tools menu] to observe whether the snail is lying. .

Although more than ten days had passed, System still couldn't fully believe in this snail.

He wanted to kill the snail and resolve this instability.

But the lizardmen tribe controlled by this snail still has a lot of useful value. If this snail is killed like this, it will undoubtedly lose control of those lizardmen tribes.

After more than ten days, System had come into contact with a lizard man, and confirmed the authenticity of the snail's words from the performance of the lizard man. The snail Jess indeed used its hallucination ability to brainwash a mentally retarded Lizardmen tribe.

In addition to the remaining two magical rank lizardmen, most of the lizardmen in this lizardmen tribe also have the blood of thunder and lightning, and have the ability to generate electricity.

...

After some consideration, System finally decided to keep the snail by his side and continue to observe it for a while.

Time passed just a little bit, and another ten days passed, and many of System's ant people were finally able to come to the abyss from the half plane...
