The temperature in the cave is getting higher and higher, and the mushrooms that can grow to more than one person are getting smaller and smaller, as small as moss lying on the ground, and then gradually disappear.

Before seeing the huge worms, Is heard the sound of their hard skin rubbing between the rocks.

Those worms hiking around the rocks did not rely entirely on brute force. Their saliva and some liquid secreted from the body surface could make the rocks as crispy as the freshly baked biscuits.

And the underground here was originally covered with cracks of all sizes.

The scent of sulfur accumulated in the dull air to a suffocating point. Taisi had already closed the armor, and the robot stopped.

The ground was slight vibration, and it was difficult to tell whether it was an unstoppable earthquake or the movement of the worms rushing over. In front of them, the twisted and interlaced passages were already a circle where the worms burrowed.

"Their nests are close to the magma," the robot reminded again, "looking for the most temperatures and the best ventilation."

Before he finished speaking, two iron-eating worms rushed out of the passage.

"See you later." The robot said goodbye politely, rushed out a few steps to the worm, and rushed towards the passage on the left.

It runs with all its strength at a very fast speed, so fast that it is impossible for human bodies to reach. Such speed and agility allow it to be easily pursued by the insect swarm. Some insects chasing the front may even be because of the fact that the insects are chasing the front.

It acted too quickly and folded itself into an incredible shape, blocking the road tightly, and almost tied itself into a knot.

"It seems that you don't have to worry about it." Taisie looked over and praised.

They stood there. This time the metal was not on Is, and whether he or Tais, it was completely ignored.

The iron-eating worms seemed to be unable to see them at all - they did seem to have no eyes.

Is tilted his head thoughtfully.

According to his guess... he should be very attractive to these things.

Although the current situation is more beneficial to them, he is inexplicably a little unhappy.

"...Will you leave?" Tess asked him strangely.

Is snorted in meaning and walked forward.

.

The temperature of the air was getting higher and higher, so high that it could almost cook people. Even under the protection of the uniform, Taisi was sweating all over.

"I'm almost soaked in my sweat!" She complained, disgusted by herself.

Is didn't sweat much. Since he had the eternal fire, he had no longer feared high temperatures and flames, but in fact, he still hated damp and hot places - that was his nature as an ice dragon.

The passages that the iron-eating worms drilled out are bent, but they are not difficult to walk, and their nests are not difficult to find. The wind pouring into the passages and the vibrations under their feet are better guided to them than the high temperature.

When the thick but flexible body of the iron-eating worm appeared in front of them again, they finally touched the nest built around a pool of bubbles.

"Hot spring!" Taisi's eyes were bright.

"The hot springs that can cook you," Iss added.

"I didn't want to soak it in myself!" Taisi glanced at him, "I just thought I should bring a few eggs and throw them in and cook them!"

"…There are eggs in it." Is, "Do you want to pick them up and eat them?"

His location is higher than that of Taisi, and he can clearly see the gray-white balls floating in the hot spring.

"...Are the insect eggs?" Taisi tried hard to stretch her neck: "How big is it? It should be big, right?"

"...You really want to eat it?" Is heard her expectation.

"No?" Taisi licked her lips and recalled intoxicatedly, "You must have never eaten the eggs of the gray sheath worm? It's so delicious when you throw them in the fire like roasted potatoes!"

Is didn't know what to say for a moment - you humans really dare to eat anything!

When he heard Nana sucking water on his head, he had nothing to say - the one on his head was that he could really eat anything.

They hid there and watched for a while, and the tangled iron-eating worms still felt that they did not exist. These earthworm-like worms lived in groups like ants, and the entire nest was in the middle of the well-connected passage. A nearly perfect semicircle was dug out. The hot spring pool was on the edge of the semicircle, quite far from them, and on the other side was a huge giant insect with a deeper color than all other iron worms. The scales were almost pure black and shiny. The faint red light of the lava that came from somewhere was the only light here, and the light shone on the giant insect, illuminating a dark red like blood clots.

"Its scales are more delicate," Iss judged. "Although it looks more beautiful, it may not be as strong as other iron-eating insect scales."

Taisi narrowed her eyes with difficulty. The facial armor has the function of night vision, but in such an environment, she could see the worms, but she really couldn't see any scale armor.

"Where is that kind of metal?" she asked. "Didn't you see anything valuable?"

Her identity is different from that of an ordinary crew member. The treasures she discovered and excavated are all hers. Although she is not short of money now, she will never think that she has too much money.

Moreover, she has been planning to open her jewelry store throughout the star field after running around, which would cost a lot of money!

Is looked at the entire cave carefully.

He really didn't see any metal. The iron worms wiped the walls of the caves naked, and at first glance they did have the same luster as metal. Is suspected that since they like to eat metal, it was very likely that their saliva would be in their It also contains metal components to apply the walls of the cave like this. It looks a bit like the "simple technology style" that many Britanns praise.

He turned his gaze to the place where there were a lot of iron-eating worms twisted into a ball, and then looked at the hot spring. He could not see anything with his eyes alone, but these two places were the strongest positions he could feel.

Much stronger than the giant insect that looked like the leader.

He explored his consciousness.

Before he "sees" any treasure, the first thing he saw was the hot river in the air.

The thick and pure power flows slowly in the air like water and magma, like following a chaotic and fixed river channel, one by one, one by one, forming a circle, and circling nature in the entire cave space. It's like a rune-like pattern.

When he stared at it, he could feel his blood vessels leaping, as if something was attracted in his body and even his soul, and he wanted to devote himself to the red river.

He quickly retracted his consciousness and pressed his forehead.

He felt his heart jump into his head and hit his skull with a thump.

Even in the thread laid by the Naden man that could control time, he did not feel such danger.

"In the hot springs," he said.

That short time was enough for him to see the source of the river.

Taisi judged the distance, looked at the countless iron-eating insects they had to destroy or avoid along the way, and tweeted: "It's not easy to steal."

"Even if you can steal it," said Is. "With it, we may not be able to leave the planet."

The red river does not exist only in the cave, but it coils here like a snake, but it also flows far away, flowing to the passage, to the iron-eating worm, to the deeper underground, to the rocks, and even to the invisible

Sky.

He suspected that the river was already densely spread on the planet like a net, even if they took the source away... If they took the source away, they probably had to have the power to drag the entire planet together to leave.

Taisi held up her chin in disappointment and rolled her eyes.

"How old is it?" she asked.

"Probably..." Ice estimated, "It's as big as the ground buildings in Cleisburg."

It was buried deep in the hot spring. Even if it was him, he would not be able to pick up such a big thing and run away without mentioning whether he could leave.

But Taisi chuckled twice: "It's better to be big enough!"

Only with enough benefits can it be attractive enough to those guys such as Fuxing!

"I have to think of a way, at least knock one piece as a sample!" She was ready to rub her hands.

"Then, if it's that big, Nana chew a few bites, a few small bites." Nana used her little paws to compare a little bit of it: "It shouldn't matter, right?"

Taisi looked up, looked at Xiaolong with a look, and smiled knowingly, and he only had to slap his brim with enthusiasm.

Xiaolong kicked his feet and decisively abandoned Is and got into Tais' arms.

Two pairs of eyes were looking at Is with great enthusiasm, which made Iss a headache.

He knew what they wanted him to do, but...

"Not now," he said, "we need to have a plan."

They also have to prepare their companions.

Taisi nodded vigorously: "Of course!"

That is, this sentence sounds so wrong when Is said it!
