"I found it!"
After searching for close to an hour, Bloody finally found the Queen Mother's location and marked it on the map.
Lin Huang zoomed in on the map, but all he could see was a flat land.
"The Queen Mother and the 12 bug guardians are underground at these coordinates. It's a complicated maze hive underground with a total of eight entrances. Apart from the Queen Mother and the bug guardians, there are at least three million Bug Tribe monsters in this hive, "Bloody explained immediately.
"Are the entrances far from the Queen Mother's coordinates?" Lin Huang asked.
"A little far. The nearest one is over 20 kilometers away while the furthest one is over 100 kilometers."
"Eight entrances …" Lin Huang frowned slightly. He was a little worried that the Queen Mother would flee in the chaos after realizing that something was wrong.
"In reality, it doesn't matter how many entrances there are. As long as we're fast enough, we'll arrive before they can even react. They won't be able to escape at all," Bloody knew that Lin Huang was considering if they should guard the entrances, so it gave him a solution directly.
"You're right." Lin Huang nodded.
After summoning the Herculean King, Lin Huang headed straight to the entrance that Bloody pointed out.
They encountered many Bug Tribe monsters along the way, but Bloody parasitized them and controlled them to stay away from Lin Huang.
Some ten minutes later, the Herculean King finally arrived at the entrance of the hive with Lin Huang.
The entrance was the closest to the Queen Mother and the bug guardians among the eight entrances.
It looked like a naturally formed cave entrance with an irregular shape. However, the narrowest part was over three meters while the widest part was over five meters.
Lin Huang recalled the Herculean King and summoned Grimace. He then told him about the mission through voice transmission.
Seeing how Grimace was ignoring him, Lin Huang had no choice but to use money. "I'll buy you a demigod-level telekinetic weapon relic if you perform well during this period of time."
"Deal!" Grimace put on a smile immediately, appearing extremely enthusiastic. "Boss, may I know what service you need?"
"Damn, he can win the Best Actor award with his speed of changing his attitude." Grimace's attitude changed so drastically that Lin Huang could not get used to it at the moment. "Sure enough, money makes the world go round. The ancients did not lie to me."
"Do you remember what I said just now?" Lin Huang raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Remember, use your illusion to lure the Bug Tribe monsters out and try your best to reduce the monster casualties." Although the request to reduce the monster casualties was a little strange, Grimace did not ask much. He was not interested in the mission at all. He only agreed to it for the demigod telekinetic weapon relic. All they had to do was to follow Lin Huang's orders.
After dealing with Grimace, Lin Huang said to Bloody, "Bloody, assist Grimace. We'll try not to have any conflict with the monsters in the hive."
"Understood." Bloody nodded in agreement. In reality, it had discussed the plan with Lin Huang on the first day.
After assigning the roles, the man and the two beasts immediately got to work.
Grimace walked in front of Lin Huang to clear the way. He automatically formed an illusory forcefield around himself and Lin Huang.
The interior of the cave was dark and damp. There was a foul stench lingering in the air.
Lin Huang followed Grimace and went deeper into the cave. The long tunnel at the entrance was winding, but he could feel that it was a slope that led underground.
The deeper they went, the more pungent the stench was. It was like the smell of spoiled eggs in summer, making Lin Huang feel nauseous.
After passing through the long tunnel and reaching thousands of meters underground, Grimace finally brought Lin Huang into a spacious underground space. It was a naturally formed underground cave that was spacious.
As far as Lin Huang could see, he could already see dozens of Bug Tribe fighters in deep sleep.
Grimace continued to walk forward while Lin Huang followed him immediately. However, the Bug Tribe fighters went back to sleep as if they did not see them at all.
When they walked past a bug monster's head, the bug monster twitched its nose and opened its eyes to look at where Lin Huang was. Just when Lin Huang was going to kill it with his sword, it turned around and went back to sleep.
"The effect of my illusory skill is to block the outside world from sensing us. These insects can't see us, they can't hear us, and they can't smell us either. The one just now should have a more sensitive sense, so it could vaguely sense something unusual. However, it can't notice our existence, so there's nothing to worry about.
"If we encounter a combat strength above the Red Gold Palace, the effect of my illusory skill might be limited. However, it's just a bunch of immortal-level bug monsters with limited intelligence. It's impossible for them to see through my illusory skill. As long as we don't cause any energy fluctuations, it's impossible for them to sense us, "Grimace explained through voice transmission when he saw Lin Huang looking at the bug monster's position with his guard up.
Lin Huang nodded lightly. He had no doubts about Grimace's ability. After all, when Grimace was on immortal-level rank-9, he could already move freely among the immortal-level rank-9 monsters with his illusory skill. He had fooled a bunch of monsters of the same level, let alone now that they were in the Red Gold Palace.
However, the bug beast's reaction just now made him slightly nervous.
After confirming the effect of Grimace's illusory skill, Lin Huang was slightly relieved and followed Grimace deeper into the cave.
In the cave, the wet ground began to become sticky. Lin Huang could feel the stickiness of his shoes every time he took a step.
Occasionally, he could see yellow or green translucent mucus on the ground. You're right, this is the Bug Tribe's excrement.
"It's hard to imagine that a tribe that's living with their excrement every day can become a powerful tribe like the Protoss," Lin Huang could not help but complain.
"To be exact, this excrement isn't actually excrement, or rather, it's not completely excrement," the stone tablet could not help but explain, "There are a lot of microorganisms in the Bug Tribe's excrement. These microorganisms will modify the surrounding environment to make it more suitable for the Bug Tribe to live in. Moreover, they'll decompose quickly, so there's no need to deal with them. The few lumps that you're seeing must've been excreted today. "
"Also, the stench that you're smelling isn't the stench of the Bug Tribe's excrement itself. Instead, it's the stench from the fermentation and decomposition of the microorganisms in the excrement."
Lin Huang had nothing to say to the stone tablet's useless explanation. He still thought that the sticky liquid was disgusting. To prevent himself from vomiting, Lin Huang even blocked his sense of smell.
"Take the second one on the left at the fork in front." At that moment, Bloody's voice came all of a sudden. "We'll arrive at our destination approximately five kilometers after crossing the fork. The Queen Mother and the bug guardians haven't noticed anything unusual until now. We should be able to catch them off guard this time! "
