The fortress was very large, and there were so many poisonous grasshoppers that it was impossible to count them.
Fortunately, the poisonous grasshoppers inside were not as clever as the patrollers outside. They were dedicated to keeping an eye on each other and doing their own things, so for a while, the two of them were not found.
The two of them stuck to the insect egg area and searched all the way.
The inside of the fortress is larger than expected, and the size of the poisonous grasshoppers also varies depending on the area.
From the size of a house to the size of a fist.
"Wait a moment."
Long San suddenly stopped and pointed in the air in front of him.
Ye Xiong looked along his finger and saw a huge mountain peak suspended in the mid-air in front of him.
Upon closer inspection, I discovered that the peak was not a mountain at all, but a giant poisonous grasshopper.
The poisonous grasshopper is surrounded by countless young poisonous grasshoppers, and its body is covered with them, making it look like a honeycomb.
"This one should be the Poisonous Grasshopper Emperor." Long San said.
Ye Xiong estimated the size of this poisonous grasshopper. It was similar in size to the Black Beetle King he had killed before. With his own strength, it was not difficult to kill it.
"You said there are two Insect Kings in here, so there is one more in there." Ye Xiong said.
"There should be another one, let's keep going in."
The two of them carefully bypassed the Insect King and continued flying forward.
The Poisonous Grasshopper King did not notice the two of them and continued to float in mid-air.
After advancing a few kilometers, a dense area of insect eggs suddenly appeared in front of them. These eggs were very small, only as big as a fist, and looked like gun barrels. They were deep and thin, hanging in the air.
At first glance, it is so dense that there is no end in sight. If one larva is cultivated in each tube, there must be at least millions of larvae in it.
Ye Xiong quietly landed next to the insect egg and looked inside.
I saw a poisonous grasshopper as big as a thumb sleeping inside a tiny insect egg.
He looked at the other eggs and found that they were also poisonous grasshoppers.
"No wonder there are so many poisonous grasshoppers on this planet. This is simply mass production." Long San cursed.
"Since we are here, we must destroy this place today." Ye Xiong said.
"It must be destroyed, but before destroying it, the insect mother must be killed. These larvae are cultivated by the insect mother. Only by killing the insect mother can the root cause be cured." Long San said.
"This place is so big, how do you know where the insect mother is?"
"Let's do it separately. It will be faster and the chances will be greater."
Ye Xiong nodded, that was exactly what he meant.
At that moment, the two of them split up and flew in different directions.
…
As Ye Xiong went deeper, more and more poisonous grasshoppers were patrolling around him. In the end, there were almost three steps per post.
If he hadn't hidden his body with an invisible inscription, he would have been discovered long ago.
Ten minutes later, suddenly there was a buzzing sound from behind, and countless poisonous grasshoppers flew in that direction.
At the same time, Long San's anxious voice came from inside the water mirror.
"I've been exposed and can't investigate. I'll leave the insect mother to you." After Long San finished speaking, he hurriedly hung up the water mirror.
Ye Xiong glanced ahead and saw that there were far fewer patrols. It was obvious that some of them had been attracted.
"It's better to hurry up and find the insect mother." He continued to delve deeper.
A suspended fortress suddenly appeared in front of it, like a honeycomb hanging in mid-air.
There were countless poisonous grasshoppers patrolling the surroundings, and they were surrounded layer by layer, making it airtight.
"Is the insect mother inside?" Ye Xiong guessed.
Seeing such a strong defense, Ye Xiong was suddenly in a dilemma, not knowing how to get in.
The next moment, two clones suddenly separated from his body.
Two clones, one on the left and one on the right, quickly moved forward.
The two clones immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding poisonous grasshoppers, and they all swarmed over.
While they were not paying attention, Ye Xiong turned into a stream of light, entered at extremely high speed, and gently landed at the entrance of the honeycomb.
The inside is the same as what we saw before, all tube-like honeycombs, but compared with the ones outside, the tubes here are smaller, only as thick as a finger.
The thinner it is, the more it is a larvae, which means it has just been hatched.
There are also many poisonous grasshoppers guarding it, including a hill-like insect king blocking the entrance.
"It turns out that the other insect king is here." Ye Xiong and Long San just searched for a long time but couldn't find it.
This is most likely the insect mother he is looking for.
Ye Xiong searched around and searched several times, but there was no other entrance. It seemed that this was the only entrance.
Is it possible to break through forcefully?
At this moment, several poisonous grasshoppers suddenly flew out from inside.
The Poisonous Grasshopper King looked at the poisonous grasshoppers, hissed a few times, and several poisonous grasshoppers passed by.
Ye Xiong thought for a moment and quietly retreated.
After going out, he killed a poisonous grasshopper that just came out, then hid in its shell and flew back.
It's best if you can dive in. If you can't, you have to do it hard.
Hiding in the insect shell, Ye Xiong condensed a bead of ice and fire in his palm, preparing to shoot it when he was discovered.
As he passed by, the Insect King stared at him with his huge eyes, trying to investigate.
Suddenly, several poisonous grasshoppers flew outside and communicated with them in a squeaky voice.
The Insect King was furious and left behind several poisonous grasshoppers, leaving two smaller poisonous grasshoppers guarding him.
"It seems that the other Insect King is no match for Long San. This Insect King is going to help." Ye Xiong guessed.
For him, this was a good opportunity. He took advantage of the chaos and quickly flew in.
After entering, he was completely shocked when the scene in front of him appeared in front of him.
In front of him is a huge square, covering an area of at least dozens of kilometers.
In the middle of the square, there is a huge poisonous grasshopper, dozens of kilometers in size, with no end in sight.
The Insect King is already very large, but compared to this one, its size is less than one-tenth.
"Could this be the legendary insect mother? Its size is too terrifying!" Ye Xiong muttered to himself.
At this time, countless poisonous grasshoppers came out of the mother insect. Each poisonous grasshopper came out with a small plate on its back, which was densely covered with poisonous grasshoppers as big as a thumb, all of which were larvae.
The larvae are inside the body of the insect mother, and they seem to be taking out batch after batch.
This production method, just like fish, can produce thousands or tens of thousands at a time.
The insect mother was lying on the ground, her eyes were closed, her expression was sluggish, and she looked like she was giving birth.
Long San guessed correctly, the insect mother was giving birth at this time.
With such a good opportunity, Ye Xiong naturally could not give up, and immediately drove the poisonous grasshopper into the body of the mother insect.
Just as he was about to enter, he suddenly found several poisonous grasshoppers floating in the entrance, guarding it.
Hiss!
One of the poisonous grasshoppers kept screaming at Ye Xiong, as if warning him something.
At this time, it was naturally impossible for Ye Xiong to stop and accept the check. He immediately added speed and rushed through the defense.
At that moment, the entire insect swarm exploded, and countless poisonous grasshoppers chased him.
