"This is it," Erik breathed, taking in the ruins of the underground city. "We are finally there."
The remnants of the ancient human civilization living on Mur were in front of them. It wasn't different from what Erik found on the Mannard continent, in the place where Liberty Watch city now stood.
However, contrary to the Acidspitter Arthropods he fought there, the thaids here nested right inside the city, instead of in the branch tunnels.
The difference was clear. These creatures were direct creations of the bug queen, engineered to serve her hive's needs. Instead, the Acidspitter Arthropods avoided the human abomination that had taken residence in the Silver Line corporation's headquarters back in Liberty Watch. They were enemies, but the bugs weren't.
Erik saw chitinous structures that the bugs had built clinging to the ancient buildings' walls, along with egg sacs hanging from broken arches.
