After entering the ant nest, the first thing everyone felt was a hot and humid atmosphere, as if they had entered another world.
Long Wangxing looked around and found that he was in a huge, cave-like space.
The surrounding walls are densely covered with passages, which are nests dug by ants.
He looked up at the sky. Through the hole of the nest, he could only see a narrow sky dotted with stars.
Deep in the cave, there was silence, except for the occasional faint trembling sound that echoed in the air.
Then, we started to move along one of the passages. There were many small holes on the walls of the passage, which were the rooms dug by the ants. They made this their home.
Long Wangxing stretched out his hand curiously, touched the small holes, and felt some tiny bulges inside.
Continuing to dig deeper, he gradually began to smell a strange smell, which was a mixture of earth, resin and some kind of sweet aroma.
He walked along the smell, and suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a huge object - it was a huge nest storing honeydew.
Honeydew is a valuable resource for ants, which they use to feed their larvae and to defend themselves against foreign enemies.
This nest is filled with the sweet aroma of honeydew. Long Wangxing looks closely. The internal structure of the nest is complex and exquisite, like a maze.
At this moment, Long Wangxing suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet shaking slightly.
Immediately afterwards, a slight "click" sound came from the distance, as if it was some kind of signal.
Long Wangxing's heart tightened. He knew that it was a warning signal from the ants - a foreign enemy was approaching.
He immediately prepared to leave, but it was too late!
"Ready to fight!"
Long Wangxing reminded everyone that it was not the queen ant from outside who returned to the nest, but the female ant that was still inside the nest.
suddenly!
In the darkness of the blind spot, a huge female ant suddenly jumped out!
Meng Fei shouted in fright, and Long Wangxing decisively drew his sword and cut him in half!
"vomit!"
The liquid in the female ant's body exploded and splashed all over Meng Fei. Seeing the sticky yellow color stuck to his clothes, he felt nauseated and nauseated.
Fortunately, Ennis cleaned her up in time.
"Everyone, be careful, we have entered the ant's nest." With the sudden incident, Long Wangxing had to remind everyone to keep their spirits up.
"Everything here is still, it's like entering another world." Hayden felt very strange, as if he was in a paradise before.
"Normally, entering the lair is equivalent to a small copy." Long Wangxing explained.
"Should we retreat? It doesn't feel safe here." Sisia on the side began to retreat. There seemed to be no temperature inside, and there was always a cold current coming towards her.
"Please don't say anything that shakes the team's mentality. If you want to retreat, we shouldn't have come in just now!" Long Wangxing's words were somewhat dissatisfied. The most taboo thing in the team is disagreement.
Hearing this, Xia also lowered her head.
Indeed, as Long Wangxing said, they can't say different things to each other now, especially quitting.
After spending so many days together, the former already has a great status in their team.
No one does not regard Long Wangxing as the real captain!
Everyone nodded in response to his words. When a team unites, they feel more confident.
"Then what are we going to do?" In this case, Hayden began to ask about the next plan of action.
There are too many paths in the ant nest, and they must make a choice.
If we go looking for them one by one, it will take years of monkeys and horses and months!
"Sia Enis is a group, go to the left route, Uncle Hayden walks in the middle alone, and I take Feimeng to the right." After thinking about it for a while, Long Wangxing came up with the best plan.
There is a strategy guide for the mission they snatched from the Malati team on the Internet, but there is no detailed route inside the ant nest.
Therefore, if you want to find out, you must split the team into three parts and start looking.
"If you find the queen ant's molted skin, send a message to the team channel as soon as possible. Remember, you must share the route so that we can find you!"
The deployment of the operation was completed, and everyone nodded.
Then we started to set off, preparing to go deeper.
…
The trio separated from Hayden for some time.
Long Wangxing has been walking inside with Meng Fei.
There were so many forks in every place that he started to feel a little dizzy.
Fortunately, every time Long Wangxing passed a fork, he would mark it, for fear of walking into a repeated place.
Using this method as a screening method, the two of them slowly entered the depths.
"Wangxing, why are there no female ants guarding this place?" Meng Fei asked curiously.
This sentence reminded myself that Long Wangxing was also wondering that there was no ambush along the way.
It can be said to be terrifyingly quiet!
"Maybe... everyone went out to help?" Long Wangxing tried to comfort her first, but he could see a little fear on Meng Fei's face.
It's no wonder, after all, it's easy to feel scared in such a claustrophobic space.
but,
Looking back and thinking about it, this is a bit unlikely. According to the habits of ants, going out to fight is always a matter for worker ants.
The female ants almost always stay at home.
However, as they walked deeper and deeper, there seemed to be fire around the corner not far away!
Suddenly alert, Long Wangxing quickly took Meng Fei's little hand and pressed it against the wall of the road!
When I looked around, I saw a few female ants guarding the intersection!
Both sides were blocked and there was only one straight road.
"It seems that the front is not allowed to enter." He murmured to himself alone, which further aroused Long Wangxing's personal curiosity. Maybe... maybe there is the ants' storage room at the end of the road.
"Are we going to eliminate them?" Meng Fei asked.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that Long Wangxing beside her had disappeared!
"spread!"
Only the two female ants at the intersection were heard screaming in pain.
Long Wangxing killed him cleanly and instantly!
Then he hurriedly called Meng Fei out, fearing that there would be pursuers behind him.
"You didn't even say hello before you started!" Meng Fei said, seemingly reproachfully.
The moment she saw that the other party was not there, she suddenly felt insecure.
"Hehe." Long Wangxing scratched his head like a child who made a mistake, "This is not to kill the ants invisible."
"snort!"
Meng Fei snorted arrogantly. As for his strength, he had noticed it all the way along. He was really powerful and he was worthy of being the top nugget of the previous generation!
"Let's go, there is probably the answer we want ahead." Long Wangxing took Meng Fei's little hand again. Deep in the firelight, there should be the ants' storage room.
The two of them walked further and further inside, turning several intersections.
However, there is no previous fork.
Until they reach the real end, there is no way to go forward!
"This is..." Meng Fei looked at the scene in front of her in horror. This time she couldn't hold it back, she lowered her head and vomited with a "Wow!"
Placed in front of the two of them were the corpses of monsters.
It has a head, it has limbs... it's extremely cruel!
However, Long Wangxing is fixated on one place!
"This is actually an NPC!"
