Chapter 164 Changes Under the Ice Layer
shuh~
The platypus-class frigate quickly flew to the vicinity of the north pole of the fourth planet.

Along with Jiang Xia, in addition to the criminal leader Perry, there is also Nolan Weiwei. She is still not in a good mood, but she heard that Jiang Xia and Langya are going to find the truth about the rapid aging of the local people. Aroused curiosity, followed Jiang Xia to the place where the green scorpion was produced.

On this snow-white ice field stands a towering iceberg. At the foot of the mountain, there are already a group of shirtless teenagers waiting.

After stepping off the battleship, Perry called the teenagers over and said: "Green scorpions grow under the deep ice, and it takes a lot of time and energy for special personnel to collect them. They are responsible for collecting green scorpions. "

Jiang Xia nodded. As young criminals specially selected for this job, their physical fitness is quite good. The temperature is about minus [-] degrees, but these teenagers are shirtless and don't feel cold at all.

Jiang Xia nodded to Langya, and then Langya moved some food from the boat and distributed it to the teenagers, nothing more than dried meat, military energy bars and the like.

These foods are very common to Jiang Xia from the earth. After all, the delicacies of the Earth Federation have long been famous in the Milky Way, but to these criminal youths, they are rare delicacies that have never been seen before.

Jiang Xia's act of buying people's hearts was very successful. The eyes of the criminals who got the food were shining. They no longer had the hostility and indifference when they first met Jiang Xia, and became very enthusiastic.

"Let's go." Jiang Xia said expressionlessly.

"Yes! Lord Chief! It's up to us!" The leader of the group of teenagers patted his chest and said, his name was Gero, and he was Perry's eldest son.

The teenagers dragged a row of powered sleds. This kind of transportation is very simple, like a flat-bed ferry, with two thin ice blades at the bottom and a low-power jet engine behind it.

Perry said: "Master Chief, what we are going to go is under the ice layer. The structure there is very unstable. Once there is a violent vibration or sound, it may cause the ice layer to collapse. This kind of sled has been specially modified. Not very comfortable, but quiet."

Jiang Xia didn't say anything, and got into the first sleigh, Langya and Nolan Weiwei also found their respective seats.

Gro gave a sharp whistle, jumped into the first sled and set off.

The modified engine did not make any sound. After entering an ice tunnel under the iceberg, Gero turned off the engine and let the sled slide automatically.

shuh~
The feeling of riding a sled is also very good. The surrounding ice is like a mirror, reflecting Xia Fei’s shadow. The world under the iceberg is like an ant’s nest. Gro is familiar with driving the sled through the complex holes and turns into this corner in a short while. After a while, it switched to another fork in the road.

After gliding at high speed for about an hour and a half, the sled stopped in the deep underground snow. If the place Jiang Xia passed just now looked like a landslide, then it was an open plain.

The temperature has dropped a lot, and the gas exhaled by breathing will immediately turn into fine snowflakes, but the group of teenagers like Ge Luo still don't feel the cold, and they are showing their toned muscle lines.

"Good job." Jiang Xia stepped off the sled and patted Ge Luo on the shoulder.

"Thank you, Chief." Gero said with a high chest, pointing to the open area directly in front of him, "That's where the green scorpion grows. If you stand taller, you will find that this place looks like a scorpion. shape, the green scorpion got its name from it."

"is it?"

Jiang Xia nodded, and with a little effort in her legs, she sprang up.

click ~
The climbing hook attached to Yue Yejia's arm stretched out, and it was firmly fastened to the top of the ice layer. In this way, Jiang Xia was suspended from a high place.

The youngsters like Ge Luo were stunned. Due to the lack of information, they didn't know that Jiang Xia, the first resident chief in the history of the criminal galaxy, was actually a very powerful warrior. Until now, seeing Jiang Xia's free and easy movements, They suddenly realized.

"Master Chief is very powerful!"

"Yeah, the explosive power of his jump is really strong. I didn't see him make any preparations, and he jumped into the air with a height of [-] meters."

Ge Luo's friends talked a lot and couldn't help applauding Jiang Xia.

After all, the orc clan respects strength. After Jiang Xia showed his strength a little bit, everyone's eyes on him changed a lot.

Jiang Xia hung herself in the air, and when she looked carefully, the center of the ice and snow plain was light green, which really looked like a huge scorpion, about one kilometer in length.

"Did you feel it?" Ling Xiao asked in Jiang Xia's consciousness.

"Well." Jiang Xia nodded, "A kind of energy fluctuation that is different from humans and orcs, it is relatively weak, a bit like the Zerg hidden space that Lu brothers and I have been to, but such a weak fluctuation is not like Living Zerg."

Ling Xiao nodded and said: "Even if a high-level intelligent life dies, there will still be some energy aftermath entangled around it. If my guess is correct, there should be a Zerg corpse under the ice layer. The secret of the green scorpion may be related to this corpse." related."

"Remember this feeling. The reason why my perception is stronger than yours is precisely because I have experienced more and can detect the slightest changes in space. As long as you continue to work hard, one day in the future, you will also have the same feeling as me. Same perception."

shuh~
Jiang Xia fell back to the ground, and under the leadership of Ge Luo, came to the center of this snow field.

In order to facilitate the collection of green scorpions, the criminals installed some high-power nuclear lights in the ice layer, illuminating the ice layer hundreds of kilometers underground very brightly.

Gro knelt down, pointed to the thick snow and said, "The green scorpion is right below."

After that, he scraped away the snow with his bare hands. When the depth reached about half a meter, Jiang Xia finally saw the green scorpion. It was a plant similar to the wild jujube in the mountains. It grew in the snow. Skinny, with many green fruits on the branches, these fruits are smaller and lighter in color than what Jiang Xia has seen before.

"This is an immature green scorpion, which will turn dark green when mature." Ge Luo explained to Jiang Xia.

Langya and Nolan Weiwei were also very interested. They took it off and observed this strange plant in the snow curiously.

"Teacher, do you know this kind of plant?" Jiang Xia asked subconsciously.

Ling Xiao said: "I don't know, it should be a mutated species, let's continue down to see that corpse."

Jiang Xia nodded, stood up and said to Ge Luo: "Can you continue down? To the root of the green scorpion."

Ge Luo was taken aback, and shook his head again and again, "No way, Lord Chief, the root of the green scorpion is very deep, and the structure underneath is very unstable."

"We used to want to explore deeper ice layers, but as long as we continue to go down, the ice layer will vibrate violently, as if something can detect our actions. It's really dangerous to continue down!"

Seems like something is probing?

Jiang Xia frowned, feeling even more puzzled in his heart. Regardless of Ge Luo's objection, he said in a deep voice, "Langya, open the way ahead, be careful."

rumbling~
The ice layer shook for a while, and several obvious cracks were even shaken open on the ice wall. Although Gero and the criminals were brave, they were superstitious. Whenever the ice layer shook, they closed their eyes and prayed silently. Beast God bless.

It is not far from the place where the green scorpion grows, and it is the road that continues to go deeper into the ice layer. Jiang Xia and the others have only walked for less than 10 minutes, and the ice layer has already shaken dozens of times.

At first the vibration was short and not too violent, but as Jiang Xia and the others went deeper, the scale of the vibration became more and more serious, cracks appeared on the wall, and the ice skates on the top began to fall continuously, just like the ice layer It's about to collapse anytime.

"Is it an earthquake?" Jiang Xia asked Ling Xiao subconsciously.

"I don't know, this place is very strange anyway. Since the weak energy fluctuations when we started approaching the ice layer, the vibration has not stopped. It seems that someone knows we are approaching. Be careful!" Ling Xiao said.

Jiang Xia gritted her teeth, "The more weird it is, the more I want to find out the truth."

Facing the increasingly serious vibration, Jiang Xia and the others walked down cautiously. After they walked far enough and passed a node, the frequency of the vibration decreased instead, which made Jiang Xia feel puzzled again.

shuh~
Finally, Jiang Xia and the others came to the bottom of the ice layer where the green scorpion grew, and saw another huge ice sheet with a raised hill in the center.

The rhizome of the green scorpion is stuck on this hill, and the rhizome blown in mid-air is like a vine, connecting with the plant body of the upper green scorpion.

This is the first time that the criminals have reached such a deep ice layer so far. Gero and his companions began to pray, but the vibration of the ice layer suddenly disappeared.

"I didn't expect to be safe after I really came down. It's still the chief who has the foresight. You are braver than us, and you are a real warrior!" Gero stood up after praying and said with admiration.

Superstition is an old habit of the criminals. After all, their lifespan is so short, but the garrison is alive and well. The locals really think that they are being punished by the beast gods.

Ling Xiao said in Jiang Xia's consciousness: "There seems to be something under this little iceberg."

Jiang Xia nodded, and came to the small iceberg where the root of the green scorpion was, pulled out the Jingfeng Knife, and used the knife to pry open the ice layer little by little.

After peeling off the ice layer about several meters thick, Jiang Xia saw the green shell
Everyone was taken aback, and following Jiang Xia's movements, they attacked together, and the ice shattered for a while, and the green carapace became clearer and clearer.

"It turned out to be a worm queen!" Ling Xiao said loudly in Jiang Xia's consciousness: "It's absolutely unmistakable, look at the crystals at the tail of this scorpion, green, like a basketball, perfectly natural, embedded in the poisonous needle on the tail On top of that, if it weren't for the queen, it would be impossible to have such a beautiful insect crystal."

Jiang Xia frowned. The energy core will be formed in the body of intelligent life. There are crystals in the head of crystal beasts. There are cosmic crystals and dark crystals in nature. Even Zerg has worm crystals. It seems that every life related to high energy in this universe will be related to crystals. Thousands of connections.

"Teacher, if this is a dead queen, then what are the scars on his body? It's so tragic, it has destroyed internal organs, and the scars look like they were injured by the same kind. Is there anyone in the Zerg who dares to treat him?" The Queen's attack?" Jiang Xia pointed to the scars on the Queen's body.

A series of tragic scars were left on the queen's body, spreading all over her body. Judging from the structure of the scars, it was obvious that they were also caused by the Zerg. It was hard to imagine how cruel the battle this queen had gone through before she died.

Ling Xiao said disapprovingly: "This is something you don't know. The Zerg is a very special race. In the Zerg, there is only one Zerg King, but there are many Queens."

"In order to compete for the right to mate with the worm king, the competition among the worm queens is very fierce. Only the best worm queens can mate and raise offspring, but even if they raise offspring, they must always beware of other worm queens taking advantage of the chaos to kill them offspring, because only by killing the offspring of the enemy can one's own offspring live better, and eventually become a new generation of insect kings."

"This worm queen obviously failed in the competition, that's why she escaped here, failed to obtain the right to mate with the worm king, and died instead."

Jiang Xia curled her lips. The Zerg's harem fighting scene is really bloody. Simply put, the queens kill each other randomly. Whoever survives to the end and who can raise the child is the ultimate winner.

Ling Xiao said: "Look, the rhizome of the green scorpion grows on the queen's corpse. It must be some kind of special plant brought by the queen from where she is."

"No one in the universe has ever seen the insect king, and no one knows where the insect king lives. After all, the insect race is different from us. They like to live in the space interlayer, that is, in the hidden space. It is difficult for humans to find them."

"It is said that the place where the worm king lives is full of treasures, all kinds of rare plants are everywhere, and the worm queen itself is also very valuable, her carapace, eyes, not to mention the queen worm crystal behind the tail, that is Mao Mao's favorite of."

Lingnao is very special. In the virtual world, there is not only Lingxiao, but also Mao Mao. At this moment, he is looking forward to Jiang Xia. Hearing Ling Xiao's words, Mao Mao nodded repeatedly, and his innocent eyes seemed to say, "I help the master transform every day. Maintaining the identity of the beast clan is so hard, so leave the worm crystals to Mao Mao!"

Jiang Xia smiled slightly, and said to Mao Mao: "Don't worry, the worm crystal must be yours, but not now, because if you eat the worm crystal, you will hibernate again, and then I will be exposed."

Mao Mao nodded again and again, very well-behaved, with a look of understanding.

Ling Xiao said: "You have found the root of the green scorpion, what are you going to do now?"

Jiang Xia thought for a while and said: "Of course I store the corpse of the queen. As for the green scorpion, I will also save some. After all, I am going to the Miluo star field to find the dark crystal. I must use the power of those children. As for Those adults may live a few more years if they stop using the green scorpion."

Ling Xiao nodded slightly, "Now you are alone and alone, I'm afraid there is no better way."

Jiang Xia said in a deep voice: "Since I came to the criminal galaxy, I have actually decided to use these powerful little guys to form an army."

"Mothership No. [-] and the machine race are still waiting for me. If I am a woman, they will die. What's more, Mothership No. [-] will bring great changes and opportunities to my hometown in the future. Everything you care about, you can only do whatever it takes."

Ling Xiao smiled: "Who can ignore his hometown and compatriots? If my hometown is still there, I will do the same thing as you."

Jiang Xia's thoughts returned to the scene, and most of the corpse of the queen had been revealed at this time. Because the upper layer involved the root of the green scorpion, Gero and others did not touch it.

With a wave of one arm, Jiang Xia said in a deep voice: "Excavate all the corpses of this bug!"

"But." Ge Luo was slightly stunned: "If the rhizome is destroyed, there will be no more green scorpions to eat."

Jiang Xia glanced at the group of criminal youths, and said loudly: "Do you want to eat green scorpions for the rest of your life? I promise, you will have endless food in the future! Real food! Everyone in the criminal galaxy has share!"

"Master Chief, what you said is true!?"

"Are you really going to provide us with food?" The teenagers were surprised and asked one after another.

In the Yeben tribe, the chief is the local emperor, and the people in the territory usually work hard to support the chief, but Jiang Xia, a new chief, wants to provide food for the people, which is not common.

Langya stared, and opened his voice and said loudly: "Of course the words of the chieftain are true! What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up!"

Ulla~
Ulla~
The young people became extremely excited, and began to quickly tear down the ice covering the corpse of the queen.

Ling Xiao said in Jiang Xia's consciousness: "This is a lot of money. Selling the corpse of the queen is enough for you to feed all the criminals in the territory, and to form an army composed of criminal youths."

Jiang Xia said: "The more important thing is the worm crystal, Maomao can finally improve his level again."

"That's right." Ling Xiao said: "A corpse of a queen worm has almost solved all your current troubles. It can be said to serve multiple purposes."

suddenly~
Just as Jiang Xia was thinking about future plans, the ice layer shook violently again.

Jiang Xia couldn't believe her eyes!

Because he discovered that the vibration actually came from inside the corpse of the female worm!
Yes, when the ice layer was peeled off and the body of the female worm was revealed, Jiang Xia discovered a very strange thing. There was no earthquake at all, but the body of the queen worm was shaking violently, as if something was about to rush out of the body !

rumbling~
rumbling~
In just a few seconds, the frequency and intensity of the vibration reached an unbelievable level. The ice layer was almost completely collapsed, the ice wall was shattering, and the ice blocks on the top fell like a storm !

"What's the matter!?"

"Master Chief, what happened to the corpse!? Why is it shaking?"

"Should we leave immediately!?" The young people were shocked and asked loudly.
