The entrance to the maggot nest is built on a slightly arched mound in the desert, and this inconspicuous crypt would easily be overlooked without Kaili as a guide.

Leaving Nightmare and Carey outside, Alan summoned the Light Technique and the two entered the dark maggot nest.

The maggot nest is dug by mutated sandworms. Sandworms are arthropods with eight legs and a team of sharp mouthparts and strong hole-digging capabilities. After mutation, their mouthparts become larger and stronger, and a hard shell grows around their bodies. They can spew venom with strong corrosiveness. They dug up underground kingdoms like mazes under this desert.

I don’t know if there is another ventilation port. The air in the insect cave is quite fresh. The temperature in the cave is several degrees higher than that on the ground outside. Many small scorpions and desert gophers settle down here. Seeing creatures breaking in, the indigenous people of these deserts fled in panic.

Alan frowned. There were many mucus piles in the passage, which were secretions from sandworms, which looked extremely disgusting. In the game, some gold coins or equipment often came into the mucus piles. If you are lucky, you may even have gems and runestones. However, Alan did not intend to step on those disgusting mucus piles.

The maggot nests are well connected and there are many forks, like a huge maze. There are not only sandworms, but also mutated scarabs and black locusts. There are not many other two monsters.

Allen's purpose is to find the Staff of Heradik. In the game, the third layer of the maggot nest hides the wooden handle, but he still needs to kill the Sandworm Queen.

He waved his hand to summon four bone demons. This high-level undead creature advanced from a skeleton warrior is not strong enough. Although it is not as weak as the Death Knight, it is not much weaker. There are many bugs in the nest, and Alan doesn't want to do it himself.

The sandworm's attack method has two kinds of toxins and giant clamps, which has no effect on these bone demons. The only thing that needs Allen to take action is the black locust.

After going deep into the insect cave, Allen realized that he had underestimated the complexity of the cave. The nine-curve and eighteen-turn curves were no longer enough to describe the cave. The feeling here gave people the exact same illusion. In addition, the dark environment around him could easily be trapped in it.

If Allen hadn't had strong mental power, the chip scanned the entire insect hole, and it would not be easy for him to find something in this maze.

This place is worthy of the base camp of sandworms. The corpses of mercenaries and travelers dragged down by sandworms from the surface of the desert can be seen everywhere. At the end of each passage is a spacious insect breeding room, which is densely packed with sandworm eggs and hatched larvae. Those corpses wrapped in insect eggs and mucus piles that seem to be beating in the heart and are disgusting.

"Firewall!"

Alan waved his hand and turned the insect breeding room into a sea of ​​fire. The continuous explosions of "bang bang bang bang" sounded one after another, which was the sound of sandworm eggs rupturing. Sandworms kept rushing out of the sea of ​​fire, and were then slashed into two sections by the bone demon guarding around.

Some other sandworms emerged from the ground, and Helen's bow and arrow shot out immediately. The frozen arrow instantly freezes it into an ice cube, and then shatters into ice chips with a bang.

Alan's staff gently pointed to the ground, and a yellowish light spread rapidly with Alan as the center. The sand in the passage instantly turned into rocks, and sandworms that wanted to drill out of the ground were directly wrapped in rocks. Several were stuck in the rocks. The bone demon rushed over quickly and killed them.

A buzzing sound came from the passage behind, and a large group of black locusts rushed over from the other side of the passage.

"Fire Cloud Technique!"

A ball of fire clouds rose, then advanced along the passage, swallowing all the black locusts behind them, and then continuing to spread into the passage.

As the fire wall gradually faded, all the sandworm eggs in the insect breeding room were burned to ashes, and the corpse wrapped in mucus was also burned into ashes. After all the sandworms were eliminated, Allen came to the entrance of the second floor of the maggot nest.

As the Bone Demon opened the way and Alan's firewall was cleaned, all the sandworms were killed, and one by one, the worm breeding chambers were destroyed. Under the guidance of the chip, they advanced towards the third level of the nest.

As we continued to deepen, more and more sandworms appeared, and the narrow passages were often blocked by sandworms. Alan had to use fireballs to blow them open. Fortunately, Alan used mud to turn into stone to reinforce those passages in advance. Otherwise, with the power of the fireball technique, it would directly cause a landslide to collapse the nest and bury Alan and the others here.

As they continued to deepen, the temperature in the insect hole became cooler and cooler. Alan and the others entered the third floor of the insect hole. After reaching this floor, the number of insect breeding rooms increased, and many leader-level sandworms appeared. In the sand room at the end of some passages, Alan found a lot of things.

Various goods, boxes, and some equipment. These things should be the goods of professionals and the caravans who died. The things were piled up in scattered places, because the sandworms had eaten the corpses and threw the useless things here.

He controlled the wizard's hand and opened the box inside, which contained food, cloth, gold coins, and even Allen found a few ordinary gems, but most of the boxes were useless goods. The mucus of sandworms is corrosive, and many of these things were piled in the sandworm's nests, and many of them had been corroded.

With a moving mind, I put away valuable things such as gold coins and gems, and then threw out a flame. After the flame touched these boxes, it spread instantly, burning the surrounding corpses and debris to ashes.

The winding passages slowly gathered, and more and more corpses were encountered on the road. At this time, the width of the passage had more than doubled. On the map scanned by the chip, the deepest part of the maggot nest is in front of it. The areas on the map are densely covered with red dots, and there is also the largest red dot, which should be the largest boss in the maggot nest, the "Sandworm Queen who drills into the ground".

According to the chip scanning, it is more than one kilometer from the surface desert, and the mother nest of the sandworm is in front of you. The area of ​​this mother nest is a bit amazing, with a total area of ​​1,000 square meters.

There are many stone pillars in the nest, and inside is a mushroom blanket made of green mucus, which is densely packed with sandworm eggs. The entire female insect nest looks more like a breeding center. Countless larvae are crawling around inside, and the yellow-green insect eggs beating like a heart. From time to time, a sandworm egg will break and several larvae crawl out of the eggshell.

The hatching period of these insect eggs is surprisingly short. Every minute, a large number of sandworm eggs crack and a large number of larvae crawl out from it.
