The black shadow flashed past, Zhu Jue's eyes tightened, and without hesitation, he chased after him with the copper rod.
With the weapon in hand, he can enter the state of a god at any time. As long as he is not besieged by a large group of enemy ants, he has nothing to fear, let alone a black shadow no bigger than himself.
In contrast, Zhu Jue was even more annoyed by the scene he was in now, a scene of deathly silence without an ant, like a damn scene in the prelude of a horror movie. No matter what caused all this, Zhu Jue must find out the cause as soon as possible and get rid of this damn weird feeling.
He even vaguely felt that this scene actually contained malice and murderous intent!
The black shadow couldn't be seen clearly, but it kept flashing before Zhu Jue's eyes. Every time before Zhu Jue could see it clearly, he would turn the next fork and disappear again.
Zhu Jue touched the ground with six limbs. Although he did not enter the "god descended to earth" state, his powerful muscles exploded with power far more powerful than ordinary ants, driving his body to sweep forward at an extremely fast speed. This speed was simply comparable to that of an ordinary ant. Silver ants moving across the scorching desert!
The lair with tattered walls was retreating rapidly, and the scenes around Zhu Jue's eyes flashed quickly like a time and space tunnel in a movie. In this way, he failed to catch up with the black shadow. He only vaguely recognized that it was the figure of an ant. He could only barely make out that it was the back half of the ant.
He didn't know how many passages he had entered, how many chambers he had passed through, and how many forks he had passed. Finally, Zhu Jue stopped. He could no longer move forward. There was a dead end in front of him, and a wall of earth blocked him.
However, in my sight just now, it was clear that the black shadow turned the fork and entered here. There is no other exit here. Where did it go! ?
Zhu Jue once again wondered if he was still in a dream, a very real dream. However, the fatigue in the body and the suffocating feeling due to lack of oxygen during high-speed exercise are so real.
After becoming an ant, Zhu Jue had many dreams, some of which he had clear memories of, while others had long been hidden deep in his subconscious. However, Zhu Jue didn't think any dream would be so clear and real.
This is not a dream, but rather like traveling through time again.
Zhu Jue put aside these useless thoughts. He carefully stroked the end of the small road, wondering if there was any mechanism or deception, trying to prove that he was not dreaming, nor did he travel through time, nor was he dim at the corners of his eyes.
However, when he inserted the copper rod into the soil, the feeling of resistance still told him - this place is extremely real!
Zhu Jue was depressed and frightened. He had never encountered such a mysterious situation before. Even the last time he faced life-threatening danger a long time ago, he had never been so helpless.
He gave up looking for the black shadow and turned around and walked in the direction he came from. He wanted to leave this damn place.
Zhu Jue didn't know the route inside. Before he fell asleep, he always followed King "Black Carbon" or other black fire ants. With the guards shouting in front of him and behind him, he didn't even have to think about getting lost.
But now, he's lost.
Zhu Jue instinctively walked upwards. The channels of the ant nest are like streams flowing into small rivers, and tributaries flowing into main streams. Most of them can go straight to the ground. There are rules to follow. It stands to reason that even if you don't know the specific path, you can try more. I can always walk out a few times.
Going to the ground was Zhu Jue's current idea. Even if the outdoors at night were full of dangers, it would be better than staying underground in this weird and suffocating place.
However, no matter how many places he passed and how many wrongful paths he walked, he never walked onto the ground and looked at the bright moonlight as he wished.
The dilapidated scenes are exactly the same everywhere. There are often intentionally damaged holes in the walls and building structures, which adds a desolate chill to the entire lair. Moreover, Zhu Jue always felt that the layout of this lair was a bit strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange!
Zhu Jue walked and walked, he didn't know how long he walked, he didn't know how many miles he walked, but he still couldn't find the entrance or exit. Those already wide crossings that looked like main passages did not take Zhu Jue to where he wanted to go.
For a while, Zhu Jue suspected that he had reached the anthill above the ground, but no matter how high he climbed, he could not find the roof of the anthill. He then moved horizontally until he reached the end of each road, and found no entrance or exit leading to the outdoors.
Zhu Jue was restless and on the verge of an explosion. He tried to use his tentacles to search for pheromones on the ground to make a judgment. There was basically no pheromones on the ground. Instead, there were residual auras on the walls. It didn't look like the Ant Alliance or the What the black fire ant country ants left behind was a very messy and light smell, and the specific content could no longer be distinguished.
These breaths are meaningless and cannot guide Zhu Jue forward. Zhu Jue finally sat down on the ground slumped, feeling unbearably hungry and thirsty in his belly, as if he had been hungry for several days without food or water.
That black shadow appeared again, not for the first time, nor for the second time. When Zhu Jue was constantly looking for a path, this black shadow would often appear in front, back, left, and right of him, always separated by a long distance. When Zhu Jue turned his head and stared at it, he would hide in the side road.
And when Zhu Jue chased after him several times without giving up, he still couldn't catch him, or he could only see a dead end.
After many times, Zhu Jue was too lazy to care about this black shadow, at least the other party did not show any threat to him for the time being.
On the contrary, if you are trapped underground without companions and water, and you can't get out, you may starve to death or die of thirst. The feeling of hunger when staying here is too strong. I don't know if it is an illusion or the acceleration of time, but Zhu Jue has a clear premonition that if he doesn't find a way, he will really starve to death or die of thirst!
Zhu Jue rested for a short while, regained some strength, and felt more hungry. He did not dare to stay for a long time, so he continued to move upward.
This time, still nothing. On the way, Zhu Jue also began to deliberately look for food and water, even some moist soil. He could take a few sips of it and use the moisture to fill his body that was short of water.
He really found it. The further up he went, the heavier the moisture felt in his tentacles. Zhu Jue even found several places where small water droplets condensed on the ground, like pearls growing from the ground. Oval, crystal clear, very beautiful.
Zhu Jue didn't care whether the water drops were drinkable. The extremely strong burning sensation in his belly made him rush forward, pierce the oval-shaped water film with his big jaws, and drink drop after drop of water down his stomach!
Refreshing, dewy and fresh!
After drinking several drops of water in one breath, Zhu Jue felt much less uncomfortable in his stomach. After he was full, he suddenly looked at the last drop of water, and was shocked to realize something was wrong!
This drop of water is oval in shape and elongated vertically, just like an egg placed on the ground with the tip pointed upward!
