Lu Xingyan didn't think anything of it, after all, becoming an idol was something he didn't know about.
But Gongsun Wu and the others seemed a little guilty.
Ji Mingyao stopped teasing them and changed the topic to business matters.
"Gongsun Wu, the three of you will go out first and try to find the person who came in. There is no need to hide it. Just say that you have found my trace.
There is no need to rush, it can take three to five days to get here.
I will take this time to explore the situation of Xuanming Sect so that I can deal with it later."
This arrangement is reasonable, but someone who is ignored is a little unhappy.
Lu Xingyan looked at Ji Mingyao deeply and asked, "What about me?"
"Just watch Agu here and wait to meet them."
Ji Mingyao gave him a look and asked him to figure it out.
Lu Xingyan pursed his lips. Although he was unhappy, there was nothing he could do about it.
He currently lacks spiritual power. Although he has the strength to fight, it cannot last long. It is better to take a good rest and accumulate spiritual power.
If something unexpected happens later, he can also deal with it.
After the plan was formulated, Ji Mingyao personally sent Gongsun and Sun Wu and the others out.
After that, she returned to the cave and released the sniffing ants to explore. As for the map Gongsun Wu and the others brought, she did not dare to use it.
The sniffing ants are crawling around, all you have to do now is wait.
Lu Xingyan meditated beside him and began to plate walnuts again.
Ji Mingyao was bored and connected her consciousness to the smelling ant, so she could see the things around her that the ants saw.
The sniffing ants moved very fast, and in a short time, they had already reached the edge of the Snowy Mountains.
After crossing the boundary of the Snowy Mountains, we arrived at the Furnace Mountains.
This Furnace Mountain is similar to the one in my impression. It has a volcanic appearance, with small openings of exploding magma all around.
Fortunately, sniffing ants are specially tempered to withstand high temperatures.
Even if it falls into lava, it won't be a problem.
The only troublesome thing is that sniffing ants can't swim. If they really fall, they can only lie down slowly in the magma and drift with the current.
Fortunately, sniffing ants are very flexible and can jump around without any problems.
However, just as he entered the realm of Furnace Mountain, he encountered a monster.
The temperature in Furnace Mountain is quite high, and there are crystals of various colors everywhere, as well as 'people' holding iron pickaxes hanging around these crystals.
These people wore heavy hats, like mushrooms, and moved stiffly and unnaturally.
Ji Mingyao drove the sniffing ant forward to a mushroom man and looked up.
"ah!"
She cut off the connection with the sniffing ants. Even though she had experienced a lot, she was so shocked by what she just saw that her face turned pale.
Lu Xingyan was woken up and saw that Ji Mingyao didn't look right, so he asked worriedly: "What's wrong?"
Ji Mingyao swallowed and sighed, "No, it's nothing."
Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Lu Xingyan didn't force her, so he closed his eyes and continued plated walnuts.
Ji Mingyao calmed down and connected to the sniffing ant again. This time he was mentally prepared, but he was not frightened, but his brows were deep and his eyes were full of solemnity.
The reason why these mushroom people move stiffly is because their facial features have been crippled.
His eyes were gouged out, a piece of his nose was missing, his mouth was sewn shut, and his ears were gone.
The hat that looks like a mushroom on top of his head is not a hat, but a real mushroom.
Under the mushroom umbrella, there were many spores the size of grapes, which were so densely packed that Ji Mingyao's back felt numb.
She knows that there is a parasitic spore that eats people's brains and causes mushrooms to grow on their heads.
The parasitized person suffers terribly until he loses all consciousness and becomes a puppet who only takes orders from the mushroom itself.
The Xuanming Sect actually used such cruel methods to control people.
Ji Mingyao gritted his teeth and drove the sniffing ants to stand on a high slope. At a glance, he saw that there were quite a few mushroom people like this.
