In Zheng Feng's opinion, forcing his way into the Iceworm's nest was absolutely foolhardy. There was no way he would do such a thankless task, and his energy was not wasted like this.
Therefore, the most correct approach is to sneak into the lair secretly and obtain the token without alerting the ice crawlers.
A few minutes later, Zheng Feng's field of vision was finally no longer endless darkness. Under the refraction of the blue light emitted by the ice flames, an empty underground cave appeared in front of him, covering an area of about hundreds of square meters and more than a dozen huge tunnels.
The insect is translucent and has a light blue color.
With the help of weak light, Zheng Feng saw more than a dozen large ice worms forming a circle, motionless, and in the middle of them was a small mountain made of translucent ice eggs.
Although this cave was empty, there was still no light and it was extremely dark. It was precisely because of this that Zheng Feng saw a light yellow light spot in the hill made of many ice eggs. It was very conspicuous. After a closer look, it was yellow.
The light source is exactly the token he is looking for.
Due to the distance and environmental constraints, he could not clearly see the inscriptions on the token, but judging from the color, it should be a land-level token.
"One, two, three... a total of thirteen ice worms."
Zheng Feng briefly counted the number of large bugs. When the light shone on their translucent bodies, he found that several of the ice-walking bugs had a dark red color in their bodies. The source of the dark red was the previously disappeared without a trace.
The body was scraped clean by several ice-walking insects.
One of the ice-crawling insects not only had blood stains on its body, but also had a light source that emitted gray weak light and was shaped like a token.
It seems that the unlucky guy who was killed by the insect was carrying the token with him when he was killed, and did not put it in the ring, so he and the token were devoured by the ice crawling insect.
Although he found the second token, Zheng Feng didn't show much joy. According to the color of the light, 90% of the token inside the ice-walking insect was a rubbish token with no grade.
There is only one way to take out the token, which is to disembowel the token. However, in that case, these big ice worms will be alarmed and a fight will inevitably occur.
Thirteen large ice worms are not too dangerous for him, but it will take a lot of effort to kill them all. If it is an earth-level token, it can be considered, but if it is replaced by a garbage token, it is not worth it at all.
Although ice crawlers are earth beasts, their intelligence is relatively low. They usually act based on instinct and will go out to hunt when they feel hungry. Apart from mating and reproducing, they spend the rest of their time in deep sleep.
Zheng Feng saw more than a dozen ice-crawling insects just surrounding the ice eggs, motionless. He guessed that they were probably dormant. Taking advantage of the effect of the 'cooling spell' not to wear off, they slowly approached with very small movements to avoid
Alarm these big ice worms.
With his current body temperature, it may really be an ice cube in the eyes of the ice crawler. Ordinary ice cubes will not make the ice crawler suspicious, but if it is an ice cube that can walk and move, then it is a different matter!
Although the intelligence of ice crawlers is relatively low, it does not mean that they are mentally retarded.
However, fortunately, this group of ice-crawling insects was sleeping very deeply and did not notice Zheng Feng's approach. This may be thanks to the unlucky guy before, because his unnecessary sacrifice fed these ice-crawling insects.
The quality of sleep after a full meal will of course be better than usual.
Zheng Feng got close to the ice-walking insect. From a distance away, he began to feel that the crystal-clear body of the ice-walking insect was exuding a trace of cold air all the time. This reminded him of the introduction about the ice-walking insect on the jade slip: due to long-term devouring
Iron Ice, the body of the ice crawler has also mutated. It is crystal clear, just like ice cubes, and it emits icy cold air.
Although Zheng Feng already knew about it beforehand, this was the first time he saw this strange giant ice insect with his own eyes.
Tens of meters apart, he stopped. Thirteen ice-crawling insects were intertwined with each other horizontally, surrounding their eggs at 360 degrees. There was no place on the ground that they could enter.
Zheng Feng floated gently, trying his best to control his breath, otherwise a trace of soul power would leak out.
Under normal circumstances, it would not be difficult for him to control his breath, but now that he is at the critical point, he still has to suppress it deliberately, otherwise he may break through at any time, so his breath is a bit unstable, not only for him, but also for him.
Even the teeth are like this.
Fortunately, it's not fighting, it's just floating using soul power, which is relatively easy to control.
Zheng Feng held his breath and slowly floated over the ice-walking insects, finally stopping on top of the ice egg pile. He was not very interested in the young eggs of these earth beasts.
Don't just look at the astonishing number of eggs and think that you can cultivate an army of earth beasts. It is precisely because there are so many eggs, but there are only a dozen real adults. The survival rate is only one in a thousand, which is enough to thank God.
It can be seen from this that the survival rate of the eggs of ice crawlers is very low, and in Iron Iceland, a place most suitable for the reproduction of ice crawlers, if the environment is changed, not to mention how many of the eggs on this hill can become
Whether the adults can successfully hatch into larvae is a question.
Zheng Feng slowly lowered a little height, bent down and reached out his hands. All he could see was the token emitting light yellow light.
As soon as his fingers touched the token, he immediately put it into the ring. Because of the disappearance of the token, several eggs lost their balance and began to roll down.
The seemingly fragile eggs were actually surprisingly strong and did not break. They fell to the ground like pearls falling to the ground, making a crisp sound. In this dark and quiet low cave, the sound of the eggs landing on the ground was loud and clear.
, extremely obvious.
Zheng Feng stared intently at the rolling eggs, which finally stopped less than ten centimeters in front of the ice worms. More than a dozen large ice worms were still asleep and did not notice anything unusual.
At this time, Zheng Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Although the sound just now was obvious, it actually had nothing to do with it, because the ice crawlers had no hearing at all. No matter how loud the sound was, they could not hear it as long as the eggs did not touch them.
That’s it.
Zheng Feng got the token and did not disturb the group of ice-walking insects. Zheng Feng smiled lightly. This was the first token he got after the trial started. He had gained something on the first day. It was not bad, at least not bad.
You will rest on your laurels with nothing.
Before the ice crawler could wake up, Zheng Feng quickly evacuated.
There was only one passage when he came in, but when he left, the ice walls around the cave were full of passages of various sizes. These passages were all drilled out by ice-walking insects. There must be no dead ends, so Zheng Feng chose a cave entrance.
A relatively large passage means at least you don’t have to hunch down.
Going all the way deep along the passage, the passage he chose did not lead to the ground, but connected to the nest of another ice crawler. However, this nest was smaller than the previous one, with only three or four
, although there were ice eggs piled in the middle of the cave nest, he did not find the token on this pile of ice eggs.
The tunnels drilled out by the ice crawlers extend in all directions, some lead directly to the ground, and some are nests with other ice crawlers. There is no dead end. The underground ice of the entire Iron Iceland seems to be completely ruled by the ice crawlers!

Over the course of several days, Zheng Feng followed these passages and found countless nests of ice-crawling insects, ranging in size from large to small. The smallest one contained two ice-crawling insects, which seemed to be a combination of one male and one female.
He witnessed the largest nest, which was occupied by nearly a hundred ice-crawling worms. Looking down from the top of the cave, the big fat worms filled the cave and were squirming non-stop. Their bodies also emitted a kind of
The colorless and transparent mucus is indeed a bit disgusting.
Fortunately, the mucus is colorless and odorless, and is the same as ordinary ice cubes after drying. Otherwise, Zheng Feng would not have been able to stay in the lair of these giant ice worms for several days.
As he visited more and more nests, Zheng Feng gradually discovered the pattern of tokens. Generally, in a nest with ten ice-walking insects, there would be an earth-level token hidden in the pile of ice eggs, and if there were more than twenty,
It was two pieces. By analogy, Zheng Feng found a total of ten earth-level tokens in the cave with hundreds of ice-walking worms.
After a few days, the number of earth-level tokens in his ring exceeded 60. Considering the area of Iron Iceland, he had only explored about one-fifth of it in the past few days. He guessed that the total number of tokens in the entire Iron Iceland was
The number will definitely not be less than three hundred yuan.
