Soon after entering the cave entrance, the road became winding and complicated.
It's like diving into an ant's nest, twisting and turning, not knowing where it leads.
Following the three bugs in the distance, and occasionally needing to hide their tracks to avoid other strange bugs coming out of other caves, Qu Wuming gradually felt that the temperature around him seemed to be getting hotter.
Although Qu Wuming could definitely use the Hongmeng Dark Thunder Fire to protect his body, it would definitely disturb those insects.
Therefore, Qu Wuming could only create a nearly transparent protective barrier, trying his best to isolate the surrounding high temperature.
But the strange insects in the cave seemed to enjoy this environment very much. They did not take any protective measures and moved freely in the cave.
Although he didn't know where he was at this time, Qu Wuming could probably feel that he was generally heading underground.
After turning a corner, a burst of hot air hit my face!
What caught Qu Wuming's eyes was a huge rift valley.
On the stone wall next to the rift valley, there is a "path" about a foot wide, extending out on the stone wall like a spider web, densely packed.
Looking to the side, there was a dark red river of magma about ten feet below.
The rolling magma kept rolling in this river and slowly flowed away.
Huge bubbles kept popping up in the rolling magma, like a pot of boiling water, and like thick dark red syrup slowly flowing.
However, this river of "syrup" exudes scorching heat. Although there is a distance of more than ten feet and a protective barrier to isolate the high temperature, there is still a heat wave hitting his face, causing Qu Wuming's face to be instantly affected. Roasted until red.
Qu Wuming looked around. He didn't know where this magma river extended from, and he didn't know where it was flowing. Opposite the wide rift valley, there were also paths about a foot wide covered with rock walls.
I don't know how many strange insects are coming and going on the stone wall on the other side, and I don't know what they are busy with.
"This is indeed an insect nest!" Qu Wuming was overjoyed. He looked around carefully, trying to find the stone wall with the soul-suppressing crystal.
However, the rock walls here are rugged with strange rocks. Apart from the paths opened by those strange insects, where are the shadows of crystals?
Qu Wuming stood there for a moment. A strange insect emerged from the cave behind him, touched Qu Wuming's protective barrier with its two tentacles, and then silently walked around Qu Wuming. Continue to climb forward along the path.
Seeing that it seemed to be ignoring his existence, Qu Wuming couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and silently followed the footsteps of the strange insect.
Along the way, they met several more strange insects. The strange thing was that those strange insects did not run away in fear like the previous one. Instead, they turned a blind eye to Qu Wuming and just went on their way.
Qu Wuming followed them, walking higher and higher along a path, and soon came to the dome at the top of this rift valley.
At this time, Qu Wuming discovered that the stone wall at the top of the rift valley was almost covered with holes. At the end of the paths, there were oval holes about a foot wide.
After those strange insects got in from the hole, it didn't take long before they appeared on the path on the opposite rock wall.
"Do they actually crawl here?" Qu Wuming looked down at the wings on the back of the strange insect crawling under his feet, feeling a little strange in his heart, "Then are these wings used as decorations?"
However, the strange insect under his feet would not answer the question in Qu Wuming's heart. It twisted its fat body and got into the stone cave very nimbly.
Qu Wuming couldn't follow them through the hole.
Of course, there is no need to drill holes.
Qu Wuming jumped up and flew up lightly. He followed the strange insects that he had stared at first and followed them into a larger hole in the rock wall.
As Qu Wuming continued to go deeper, the temperature in the cave began to drop strangely.
The previous feeling of stuffiness, humidity and heat was gradually replaced by a burst of coolness and dryness, and the originally dark black rock walls began to show some distinctive colors.
In some stone cracks, there are some berry-sized red crystals condensed in a very regular octahedron, crystal clear and very beautiful.
Qu Wuming couldn't see what was special about these crystals. In line with the principle of not missing them when passing by, he picked off a dozen of them and put them into his storage ring.
After walking for about another stick of incense, the crystal stones on the surrounding rock walls began to become colorful, clusters and groups, some were pure sky blue, some were clean bright yellow, and some were The red ones are like fire, and some are pink like flowers.
However, when Qu Wuming walked by, the stone wall had become bare.
At this time, there were already many strange insects coming and going around Qu Wuming. They seemed to have not seen Qu Wuming. They hurriedly crawled past Qu Wuming as if there was no one around, and they did not even touch Qu Wuming.
Qu Wuming was also used to the state of these strange insects at this time. Although he didn't know why it was like this, since they didn't take the initiative to attack him, he just kept enough vigilance and there was no need to hurt them.
After turning a few corners, Qu Wuming suddenly stopped and froze on the spot.
The passage ahead became wider and wider, and the cave walls became very smooth and flat. It was obvious that the interior of the cave had been very finely trimmed and even carefully polished.
"This...when did insects start decorating?!"
Qu Wuming walked on a flat ground that was half a foot wide. On the left and right sides and above his head were perfectly arc-shaped stone walls.
On the stone wall, the luminous crystals that I had dug out before were regularly inlaid just above the cave ceiling, like a colorful light strip.
The strange insects came and went in the passage, entering from the right and exiting from the left. They were arranged in two rows very neatly, without interfering with each other and in an orderly manner.
It's like someone is directing them.
For a moment, Qu Wuming stood in the middle of the passage, wondering whether he should move on or not.
There are weird bugs that are not scary.
The scary thing is that these bugs have wisdom and unified command.
That would be a powerful force.
Hard crystals could be chewed by them as easily as candy. Qu Wuming didn't think that his body could withstand the bites of hundreds or thousands of such insects.
I'm afraid it's not advisable to stay here for long!
It was originally just a messy, possibly dirty insect nest, and I had even been mentally prepared to leave it alone and survive. But when I got deeper here, I found that these insects actually had an organization!
Everything has exceeded Qu Wuming's imagination.
Just when Qu Wuming was about to quietly retreat, so as not to disturb the existence that he could not resist, an insect with a dark golden color and twice the size of the strange insects he had seen before crawled straight towards Qu Wuming. …
