Corpses of the Soft Worms were everywhere in the periphery.
Angor's eyebrows twitched. The Dream Weaver Ant had already infiltrated the Soft Larva's nest!
His spirit feelers reached deeper into the nest and saw something strange.
There was a clear division between the two sides of the nest.
It was as if there was an invisible boundary separating the nest into two camps. On one side was the Dream Weaver Ant, while on the other side were the Soft Worms who were fighting against the Dream Weaver Ant.
Although it was called a battle, it was actually completely one-sided. It was more like the Soft Worm was delivering itself to the Dream Weaver Ant.
The Soft Worms were sacrificing themselves to stop the Dream Weaver Ant from advancing.
Every time the Dream Weaver Ant tried to attack, the Soft Worms would take the initiative to fight back, and the Dream Weaver Ant would always win. Once the Dream Weaver Ant won, it would drink the Soft Worms' bodily fluids. When it was full, it would retreat to a small room and sleep. When it woke up, it would go back to the frontline to hunt again.
However, because of the Soft Worms' sacrifice, the Dream Weaver Ant could not break through the boundary.
On the other side of the boundary, Angor saw many Soft Worms.
"I didn't get many eggs. Why are there so many Soft Worms?" Angor frowned. The Soft Worms were so numerous that the Dream Weaver Ant could not break through the boundary even if they tried to kill themselves.
Something was wrong with the number of Soft Worms.
Angor's instinct told him that the giant egg was the cause of all this.
When he reached the deepest part of the nest with his spirit feelers, he did not find anything unusual in the room he left for the special egg. However, he saw something shocking in another spacious hall.
The egg had actually hatched, and it had even run into the spacious hall!
However, it was not a Soft Worm. Instead, it was a lump of something that looked like a mixture of snot and plasticine.
It had a soft, transparent membrane, through which Angor could see the green, viscous liquid inside.
Now, this "snot monster" occupied the entire hall. Its weight was at least twenty times that of a normal Soft Worm. It did not look like a Soft Worm at all. He wondered if there was another creature's egg mixed in with the egg.
But when he looked below the snot monster, he was shocked.
Many Soft Worms were crawling out from under the snot monster's body. Angor took a closer look and realized that they were all inside the snot monster's body.
Was the snot monster giving birth? Didn't Soft Larvae lay eggs?
When Angor's spirit feelers got closer, he saw all kinds of strange reactions happening inside the snot monster's body, which resulted in new eggs being being Worms.
These new eggs were hatched inside the snot monster's body, which would then give birth to new Soft Worms that crawled out of the monster's body.
The larvae split into two groups. One group went to another compartment, where Akeso's blood was stored. The larvae then carried the blood into the hall so that the snot monster could absorb it. The other group rushed to the "front line" of the war and fought the Dream Weaver Ant to the death. They would rather die than let the Dream Weaver Ant take a step forward!
.... the Soft Soft Worms.... But it can give birth to a large number of Soft Worms … "Angor studied the slug carefully. Was this slug the mother of the Soft Worms?
Angor's heart raced when he thought of this possibility.
He was hoping that the special egg would give birth to a Soft Shapeshifting Worm, but it turned out to be a Soft Worm Queen.
A Soft Worm Queen was much more valuable than a Soft Shapeshifting Worm. The Soft Shapeshifting Worm Queen was a temporary gain, but the Soft Worm Queen was a long-term gain.
Just the Soft Worms killed by the Dream Weaver Ant alone were worth a lot of magic crystals!
The Soft Worm Queen was only hatching normal Soft Worms. However, if the Soft Worm Queen could give birth to a Soft Shapeshifting Worm Queen, there would be a second, third, and so on. By then, the value of the Soft Worm Queen would be revealed.
Angor looked at the snot monster. He thought it was disgusting before, but now, it looked cute.
This was a completely sustainable source of funds!
With that in mind, Angor quickly used his spirit feelers to grab the Dream Weaver and put it back into its nest.
He couldn't let the Dream Weaver threaten the snot monster's life again. The Soft Worms he killed earlier were also worth magic crystals.
Angor still had some doubts. He was sure that the Soft Worm Queen was a Soft Worm Queen, but he never saw a real one before. Even if he had more clues, he still couldn't confirm it.
With that in mind, he stood up and walked to the door.
He planned to find Kanter. Kanter was the one who gave him the Soft Worm Egg and the nest. Maybe Kanter could tell if the snot monster was a Soft Worm Queen.
As soon as he opened the door, he was welcomed by the cold wind outside.
At some point in time, heavy snow began to fall from the sky. The snow was so heavy that it covered the entire steel building in the fortress in no time.
Right now, the visibility outside the house was very low due to the flying snow. The surroundings were white, and even the floating star tree at the entrance had a pure white snowy top.
The sky was still dark and gloomy, but because of the feather-like snow, it added a bit of charm to the dreary abyss.
The Overwatch Base now looked like a fairytale world.
Angor didn't stop because of the snow. He kept walking outside.
As soon as he stepped out of the yard, he saw something red from the corner of his eyes. He looked up and saw a red light lingering on a tall tower not far away.
Angor frowned. Did he see it wrong? Earlier, he seemed to have seen a figure flashing with a dark red light.
Angor stared at the tower for a few seconds and didn't see anything. He thought about it and decided not to pay attention. Even if there was someone, it was probably a wizard or an apprentice in the fortress. There was no need to investigate.
With that in mind, Angor kept walking outside.
At the same time, at the back of the tower, a man in a white robe was caressing a blood-red chain in his hand. He looked at the snow outside in the dark world, and there seemed to be light flashing in his eyes.
Before Angor could leave Sunders' territory, he saw Kanter in his dark blue robe descending from the sky, leaving a trail of snow behind him.
Kanter's Lanwei sorcerer hat was now covered in snow. Coupled with his long white eyebrows, it was quite an interesting contrast.
"Good afternoon, Mister Kanter." Angor bowed politely.
"As expected, you're made from the same mold as your mentor. You can still remember the time even in the Abyss where day and night cannot be distinguished." Kanter pursed his lips. If Angor didn't say "good afternoon", he would have forgotten whether it was day or night.
Kanter asked, "You look like you're going out?"
"I'm here to ask something, sir. Didn't expect to see you here, sir."
It wasn't a coincidence. Kanter left a Wizard Eye nearby and came to Angor's aid as soon as he saw Angor going out.
Instead of explaining, Kanter asked, "What do you want? Fine. Let's talk when we get to Sunders' place. I can smell the aroma from here. Did he light some incense before he left? "
Angor nodded. Sunders lit a bottle of incense before he left, which was said to be able to calm one's mind.
However, Angor didn't notice any effect. In fact, the aroma was very faint. Only by sniffing carefully could Angor smell it.
"Luna Incense is good stuff. I didn't think he'd be so generous." With that, Kanter headed to Sunders' room.
Halfway through, Kanter raised his head and looked in the direction of the tower.
There was no one there. However, Kanter had left a Wizard Eye here, so he knew who was there.
But he didn't think too much about it since that person was also from Brute Cavern.
When Kanter returned to his room, he felt a warm sensation. He shook his body, and all the snow on him disappeared. Then he quickly went to the living room.
He found a lounge chair beside the incense and took a few deep breaths.
What a pleasant feeling!
The incense wasn't very effective, but it could relieve pressure. Kanter had been fighting in the Overwatch Base for a long time, so the incense was much better for him than for Angor.
If Angor didn't want to talk to him about something, Kanter would have taken out the Monument Loop and used this comfortable environment to solve the problem.
After lying down for a while, Kanter looked at Angor. "You said you wanted to ask me something. What is it?"
"Mister Kanter, do you remember the Soft Larva egg you gave me back then?"
Kanter looked a little embarrassed. He didn't have anything else to give away, so he gave away the useless item he found by chance. If he didn't give Sunders a space-type nest, he would probably be blamed for being stingy for hundreds of years.
Now that Angor mentioned the egg, Kanter wondered if the Soft Larva couldn't be hatched and wanted to know how to do it.
Kanter's mind raced as he tried to think of a way to get away with it.
To his surprise, Angor didn't ask how to hatch the egg. Instead, he asked, "Mister Kanter, do you know what a Soft Larva Queen looks like?"
"A Soft Larva? Why do you ask? "Kanter looked at Angor in confusion.
Angor took out the nest from his bracelet. "The eggs you gave me have hatched, sir. One of them was special. It hatched something that looked like a Soft Larva Queen."
Kanter's expression froze.
