After finishing the tasty Cang Head, Xue Xi rested briefly, then teleported to the seventh level.
The scenery on the seventh level was completely different from the previous ones. Before, each level had featured a vast, spacious Battle Space, but the seventh was a somewhat cramped cave. Long, tapering stalactites hung from the ceiling, and liquid dripped from them nonstop, the sound echoing through the empty cavern and making it seem utterly silent.
Curious, Xue Xi looked around and headed deeper into the cave. Supposedly, every Trial Tower had the same trial opponents, differing only in their levels. So the seventh level should be the legendary Zerg Hive.
There was also a World Lord Level Zerg nest on Earth, sealed by Hu Yanbo. When Xue Xi had once searched all over Earth for rare ingredients, she'd gone to Shennongjia and seen it from a distance. The nest, shrouded in green mist, had set off her danger-sensing instincts so fiercely that she'd decided to leave it alone.
But most chefs who made it to the interstellar era developed an obsession with the Zerg: could they be eaten? Back then, if Xue Xi hadn't been reluctant to use up her chance to reset her anchor, she might have planted her Gourmet Anchor right in Shennongjia. Fortunately, after considering things like customer traffic, she hadn't done anything reckless.
