Chapter 91 Detecting the Insect Swarm

The Inca swarm has begun to move, and it is the first time that Lin has seen them act like this. What does this mean?

A large number of insect swarms appeared in the passages on the bark of ten home trees. These insects are one of the soldiers of the Inca swarm. The body length is only about ten centimeters. , their number may be more than tens of thousands, and they keep pouring out of ten home trees and flying in all directions.

These worms should not be used for attack, Lin thinks they may be exploring and reconnaissance.

Usually, the black bees of the Inca swarm occasionally move out a kind of troops called 'Eyeworms' to observe, which proves that the black bees should have no vision, and they can only judge objects by contact. These flying insects may be used to confirm the surrounding environment.

Lin calls them 'reconnaissance bugs', and their actions are exactly the same. Scout bugs fly through the underground world in groups in the air, and they will surround every tree, every creature, including brain hunters. After careful observation, the brain hunters were not suspected by them.

After a large number of scouts searched the surrounding environment, they began to gather and fly to the north. If they kept flying to the north, they could reach the rocky area where Lin's base was located.

It will take a while for them to get there, and Lin has to be prepared to hide everything.

The reconnaissance insects fly very fast, only part of them are seen everywhere along the way, while the other part keeps flying north, and in about a day and night, they reach the wall composed of 'death spikes'.

Above the rocky ground outside the death spikes, Lin had many flyers for observation. Lin found that a large number of scout bugs were parked behind the spiked wall, and none of them were willing to fly over.

Strange, aren't those plants grown by them? Could this cause them to get by themselves?

Just when Lin thought so. Suddenly a unit that Lynn had seen inside the home tree of the Inca Swarm appeared. It was surrounded by a swarm of black bees and approached the base of Death Spike.

This troop looks like a beetle without a back armor. Lin saw it spread the two pairs of wings behind it and made a high-frequency 'humming' sound.

Under the influence of this voice, the spikes of death in front of the scout bugs twisted to both sides inconceivably. There is an opening that is enough for the scouts to pass through without touching the spikes.

They... use sound to control death spikes? Control is not surprising, but there should be no muscle cells in the plant, so you can't move like this, right? Looks like a research study is needed.

A large number of reconnaissance bugs rushed out of the 'frontier' of death spikes,

They poured into the rocky ground, and they dispersed in an instant when they entered the rocky ground. and observe everything around.

Lin immediately made all the flyers fly to the ground and turned them into the same color as the rocks, but she didn't know if the scouts would be able to find them by doing so.

The scout bugs inspect the barren rocky ground in more detail. They will look at every stone, but they will only look at the stone for a few seconds, and some creatures that appear here. They will look around for a long time before flying away.

Fortunately, none of the scouts found Lin disguised as a rock flyer.

It seems that they are too specialized. The scout insects only have strong eyesight, but no sense of smell or hearing, so using discoloration camouflage is very effective for them.

After seeing the area, the scout worm continued to fly north quickly, and Lin let some of the flyers change color and follow them quietly. Lin also saw more scout bugs flying out from behind the spiked wall.

Every time the scout worm encounters a home tree, it will fly in circles around the home tree, and will keep flying from under the tree to the canopy before leaving.

This investigative method is really fun. Lin is wondering if she wants to learn it, and use this method to explore all the creatures in the Twisted Jungle. There are many creatures in the Twisted Jungle that Lin has never seen before, mainly because the exploration is relatively small. That's it.

The reconnaissance bugs have been flying north, and they are already close to the territory occupied by Lin.

In fact, Lin's site also has a 'demarcation line'. It is a huge rift with solidified lava at the bottom. The scouts did not fly directly through the rift, but rushed into the rift in large numbers to observe everything inside, as well as the lava spiders hanging on the cliffs of the rift.

Lava spiders are dormant during the day. So they didn't have any conflict. After searching for the crack, they flew to Lin's territory together.

There are many conical stone pillars on Lin's territory. These are Lin's bases. Their outer shells are composed of crustal materials, and their appearance looks no different from rocks. The scout insects may have scouted here before, and they showed Lin's fort. Out of incomparable curiosity, many reconnaissance bugs flew around the base and flew away after watching it for a long time.

It seems that there is no suspicion, and then the scout insects continue to move northward, and they are almost close to the bottom of the mountain.

Along the way, the scout worm carefully observed all the creatures. Here are some creatures that Lin brought from outside. They have successfully lived here. The scout worm doesn't seem to find them strange.

Finally, the scout bug approached the home tree area where Lin was.

Lin actually only occupied three home trees. Most of the bases were on the rocky ground outside. Lin had made the appearance of these home trees the same as ordinary ones, so that they should not be found.

The scout insects flew around the home tree as usual. After checking the three trees, they didn't feel any abnormality, and then they began to fly northward, and they had reached the place with hot springs.

The scouts inspected the crystal-scale lizards living on the hot springs. These scouts didn't feel anything unusual. Finally, they arrived at the place where Lin came in. It was a waterfall. Above the waterfall, there was a hole leading to the lake in the mountains. Lin thinks that Scout bugs won't see that hole.

However, a peculiar scene happened. Those scout bugs rushed directly into the waterfall. Although they would be washed out by the strong water flow in the next instant, they kept rushing in without stopping. Next, a scout insect successfully rushed into the passage above the waterfall...

There was nothing in the passage, but it was excavated by Lin, and the width was increased. The scout worm took a look and was washed out by the current and fell into the lake under the waterfall.

Now, they should go back.

But just when Lin thought so, the scout bug who had seen the passage climbed out from the lake of the waterfall and let out an extremely sharp cry. (To be continued...)
