Peerless: Auspicious Beast's Star Revival Plan

Chapter 156 Ant Nest
A warm and humid breath hit my face in the air, with a slight musty smell floating in it, sticky and uncomfortable.

Hearing the noise of someone coming in, the huge ant raised its head, and its huge jaws opened and closed making a clicking sound, flashing a sharp cold light in the dim room.

Looking at the dense and hideous thorns on the giant insect, Huo Yuqing couldn't help but take a half step back.

Even though she knew that this ant could appear in Jade City and must not be aggressive, her fear of insects still quietly emerged.

However, Wen Qiang casually reached out and patted the antennae on the soldier ant's head - no one knew what the two of them communicated, but the soldier ant obediently moved away, revealing a door on the ground.

"Don't be afraid, these little guys have lived underground for many years. They just look a bit shabby, but they are very friendly by nature." Wen Qiang bent down to touch the door on the ground.

...What a nice little guy.

Huo Yuqing silently looked at the soldier ant, which was taller than an adult when its legs were stretched out, and its huge jaws that looked like they could easily bite off her head.

Well, little guy.

She didn't want to know at all how old the prototype of Wen Qiang was.

Not at all.

No one knew what Wen Qiang had done to the door, but the transparent crystal in the center of the door emitted a brilliant golden light, and then pure golden soul power flowed like liquid, outlining a sun shape on the door panel.

Then, with the dull sound of mechanical operation, the door slid open to both sides, revealing a staircase extending downwards.

"Welcome to the ant nest." He turned around and smiled at Huo Yuqing, then took the lead and entered the underground passage.

Huo Yuqing followed behind him, and the door closed above her head with a dull "bang".

They went down the stairs.

The passage was pitch black, and the steps underfoot were high, steep, and very slippery, with the deep chill of the underground. The sound of dripping water could be heard in the distance.

Every few meters, there is a small wall covered with fluorescent moss, but the cold light can only illuminate a small distance and cannot penetrate the thick darkness.

Wen Qiang's gold ornaments jingled in front.

Huo Yuqing tried to use her mental power to detect the downward passage, but found that her mental power was confined to the passage. The surrounding walls were like smooth mirrors. When her mental power touched the walls, it would be bounced back and could not penetrate.

She couldn't help but feel curious and reached out to touch the wall.

Unexpectedly, the wall was rough and when I knocked on it I could feel that the structure of the wall material was somewhat loose.

"If I were you, I wouldn't touch it." Wen Qiang knew what she was doing without turning around. "The paint on the wall is made from a mixture of secretions from several underground insect soul beasts."

Huo Yuqing quickly withdrew her hand.

"The battle between predators and prey began millions of years ago, even earlier than the appearance of soul beasts." Wen Qiang said calmly, "Predators use their sense of smell to find them, and prey reduce their smell, and use their vision to reduce their traces... Later, hunters evolved mental power, and they also evolved ways to hide themselves under mental power.

This kind of paint can completely block the detection of spiritual power. Although it has not been formally tested, we estimate that it should be able to prevent the detection of spiritual consciousness... Of course, it is only used for detection. It is definitely not able to prevent high-intensity spiritual attacks. "

"After all, blocking the sunlight is different from blocking the sunlight that has been concentrated into a beam."

"Then what are we on guard against?" Huo Yuqing sensed a hint of impending disaster from his explanation and asked sharply. Wen Qiang shrugged indifferently, "There are many."

"The Ant Cave is extremely important to the Beast Clan's cities and even the entire Star Dou Forest. The Auspicious Beast began planning it more than 10,000 years ago. It was built by underground soul beasts, mainly the Ant Clan, and the underground cave structure of the Star Dou Forest itself was utilized. The deepest part is estimated to be more than 3,000 meters from the surface, and it is still extending outward until now."

Wen Qiang's voice echoed in the underground passage, hollow and somewhat eerie. At this time, the steps under their feet slowed down and became relatively flat.

"The main function of the underground space is to plant and cultivate... including edible plants, medicinal herbs, and even immortal herbs. There is a kind of ant-like soul beast called the gardener ant - by the way, they are still grazing underground, but I don't think you want to see that scene. There are also a lot of storage rooms. We can't put all the supplies in the storage soul guide."

If you know the right way, you can even reach any human country on the continent through different interconnected ant nests.

anyone.

Including Sunset Forest.

Right below the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire deep in the Sunset Forest, there is a huge planting room, which fully and three-dimensionally utilizes the power radiated by the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire above to continuously produce immortal products.

Of course, there are also soul beasts that sneak up to the ground every once in a while to farm and harvest around the real Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire... or go on vacation.

In short, it was right that the King of All Monsters praised the auspicious beast's ant nest plan.

Of course, not all eggs will be put in one basket. Deep in the anthill below the Star Forest, there is a beast-made "Yin-Yang Eye", which can also catalyze plant growth and is also the power center of the entire anthill.

But this information was too secretive, so there was no need to tell Huo Yuqing for the time being.

They walked forward again, and the moss used for lighting slowly turned into brighter clusters of fluorescent mushrooms and some plants emitting strange fluorescent light. Huo Yuqing finally saw a track extending into the depths of the darkness.

A shabby-looking four-wheeled mining cart was parked on the track. A red ant the size of a puppy was lying on the front of the cart, and there was something like a control panel next to it.

After climbing into the car, Wen Qiang told the ant, "Let's go to the 360th planting room."

The ant's antennae nodded.

Then Wen Qiang put his hand on the control panel of the car, "Hold on tight."

With a teeth-grinding creaking sound, the car rushed forward.

The strong push on her back pressed Huo Yuqing against the rear edge of the car, and the strong wind blew on her face without mercy.

"Can't we! Update it! Give it a cover! Or something!!!" Huo Yuqing yelled at the top of her lungs amid the strong wind and the rattling sound of the bumpy car, almost biting her tongue.

"No!" Wen Qiang also shouted, "The auspicious beast requires this!"

What kind of hobby is Ruishou?

They moved forward along the passage. Huo Yuqing's eyes were hurt by the strong wind and she could only close them tightly. Now only mental detection was working.

There were countless forks on both sides of the track, and each time the ant on the console would shake its antennae to prompt them to turn.

This is a huge underground maze. If there is no one to lead the way, I am afraid I will be trapped to death in it.
