On the way to the ant demon's lair, everyone was talking endlessly.
Those warriors who were familiar with the situation told the various habits and weaknesses of the ant demons. Many people listened patiently because it was of great help to them to break into the ant demon's nest and kill the ant demon.
It is said that in addition to the small ant demons, there is also an even larger queen ant, which is as tall as a person and has amazing attack power and is difficult to deal with.
Two days later, a team of nearly five thousand people finally arrived at the area where the ant demon's nest was located.
The ant demon's nest is located in a deep mountain with rugged rocks, and the area of more than 100,000 miles to the west of this deep mountain is where Lingxi Swamp is located.
Lingxi Swamp is vast and an endless plain.
On the plains, you can see densely packed birds circling in the sky from a distance. There are thousands of different types of birds, large and small. The number counted by the naked eye has reached a terrifying million.
This can be seen from thousands of miles away. If we count carefully, it is estimated that there are tens of millions.
It is indeed the home of birds, with all kinds of birds living there. They have inhabited this wetland for generations, and no one dares to cross there.
Similarly, despite the fact that the land below is a plain as far as the eye can see, the plain is also full of dangers. It looks green on the surface, but in fact it is a bottomless quagmire below.
In the mire, various aquatic spiritual beasts are entrenched, the most famous of which is the winged snake that can fly into the sky and escape from the earth.
The ant demon's nest is just outside the Lingxi swamp. Of course, the jagged mountains are just the entrance to the ant demon's nest. The real ant demon's nest is three hundred miles underground in the Lingxi swamp. It extends in all directions and is an underground area that no one knows about.
world.
Zhou Yuan came to the sky above this strange rock and saw hundreds of ant demon caves below at a glance.
Those caves are very large, one foot in diameter, enough for normal people to enter upright.
But now, except for some dead ant demon corpses, no living ant demons can be seen here. It is obvious that they have been controlled deep in the nest by the strong men from the twelve forces who came earlier.
Many people were a little scared when they thought of those twelve strong men guarding each exit deep underground.
Once the earth collapses, everyone will be buried deep underground.
At this time, a Dragon Spirit Realm warrior once again walked out of the twelve forces. He pointed to the caves below and said to the five thousand people in the sky: "Everyone, this is the entrance to the ant demon's nest. Now listen.
I order everyone to stand in two teams on the spot and enter in an orderly manner. If anyone does not obey the order or causes trouble and cuts in line, their quota will be cancelled."
After hearing the order, everyone immediately started lining up on the spot.
Nearly 5,000 people lined up in the sky, and the formation was still huge. They didn't dare to cause trouble because they were worried that their quota would be cancelled.
Not long after, the two teams of warriors formed two long dragons in the sky.
The inside of the ant demon's nest is not very strong. Obviously, the twelve forces are also worried about causing the earth to collapse, so they have everyone line up and enter in an orderly manner. This will take a lot of time, but there is nothing they can do.
In the mountains below, although there are countless entrances, there are only two main entrances, allowing two teams to enter respectively.
Zhou Yuan's ranking was relatively high, so he stood in the air and waited silently.
"Master Zhou Yuan, I didn't expect to be lined up with you. What a coincidence." A voice came. Zhou Yuan turned his head and saw an old man, who was the beast control master Fan Changchun.
"It's quite a coincidence." Zhou Yuan smiled slightly.
Fan Changchun looked at Zhou Yuan in surprise, showing a strange expression.
Zhou Yuan was slightly startled, looked at himself, and asked doubtfully: "Can you see what is on me?"
Fan Changchun smiled mysteriously and said: "Beast masters have the most keen sense of aura, especially the senses of earth spirit beasts, which are not comparable to ordinary people. I feel that there is something really on you."
Hearing this, Zhou Yuan was shocked in his heart.
The strength of the soul of a beast master is far higher than that of ordinary people, and his senses are naturally sharp. Especially when he is face to face with an earth spirit beast, he can even have subtle spiritual communication.
Under normal circumstances, when a beast control master captures a spiritual pet, he or she silently performs the art of beast control when there is spiritual communication between them.
Although the techniques of controlling beasts have their own merits, they all have one main function, which is to enhance the ability of spiritual communication.
The stronger the communication ability, the greater the chance of making an earth spirit beast your spiritual pet.
Looking at Fan Changchun's smiling face, Zhou Yuan even felt like he had been seen through, which was a little creepy.
"Did the other party see the totem on my arm?" Zhou Yuan thought to himself.
No one knows about the totem on his arm. On the surface it looks like an ordinary totem, but in fact it is the totem world created for Xue Ying by Zhou Yuan after he used the totem technique.
His spiritual pet, Xue Ying, is usually in the totem world.
Therefore, until now, no one knows that he is also a beast master, and everyone who knows is dead.
Fan Changchun in front of him is also a beast control master. He seems to be able to see some secrets from Zhou Yuan, but he is not sure.
"I said, Old Man Fan, stop joking, what can I have on me?" Zhou Yuan smiled sarcastically.
Fan Changchun still had a smile on his face, "I hope I'm overthinking it, but we are destined to meet each other. I still want to remind you that when I go to explore the ruins, I feel that there is something fishy everywhere. If I really encounter something
Despite the unexpected events, I hope we can work together."
"Suspicious?" Zhou Yuan suddenly narrowed his eyes.
In this way, his previous speculation was not unnecessary.
Because not only did he notice something fishy, but even Fan Changchun also noticed something fishy. In fact, it wasn't just the two of them, I believe there were a few other people who noticed something was not right.
Whether it was the previous chaotic competition or entering the ant demon's lair at this moment, many warriors from the twelve forces looked not quite right during this period.
"Yes, you are so smart, I don't believe you can't feel it?" Fan Changchun said with a smile.
Zhou Yuan's eyes flickered, and then he smiled and said: "If anything happens, I will definitely look for you."
"Then let's talk about it. I have already contacted Zeng Miaoyu from the Sky Splitting Sword Sect and Hong Lie from the Qianyang Sect. The four of us should be careful with each other. If anything happens, we will stay close to each other.
,help each other."
"Okay." Zhou Yuan nodded slightly.
When traveling abroad, it is better to have a team than not have one, especially in a foreign country. Zhou Yuan is still happy to cooperate with them.
An hour later, as the warriors in front entered the lair entrance one after another, it was finally Zhou Yuan's turn.
Zhou Yuan and Fan Changchun looked at each other and then walked into the two passages.
The entire passage was a dark and deep cave. By the time he got used to the light inside, Zhou Yuan had already entered a hundred feet away. He thought he was separated from Fan Changchun, but when he rounded a bend, Zhou Yuan immediately saw another person.
Team warrior Fan Changchun also appeared next to him.
There was indeed a cave inside the ant demon's nest. Zhou Yuan discovered that the underground world established by the ant demon was far larger than imagined.
The space inside is extremely spacious, with passages criss-crossing each other. The depth is as much as a thousand feet, and there is a dense air. Sometimes, there is only a slender earth bridge made of clay between one cliff and another.
The warriors walking on it were worried that the earthen bridge could not bear much weight and would collapse, so they floated into the air without hesitation and tried not to step on it.
Of course, this is not what everyone is most worried about.
The roads here extend in all directions, and there are various passages even above the head. Everyone is worried about getting lost, so they follow closely.
We are in the ant demon's lair, but above everyone is the Lingxi Swamp. From time to time, there will be slight vibrations coming from above.
Zhou Yuan couldn't help but think of the warriors who said they wanted to join forces to break into the Lingxi swamp. They were probably fighting above their heads at this time, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.
"Everyone, look at your feet. All the roads sprinkled with white stone powder are the main roads. Don't go on any road that is not sprinkled with white stone powder, otherwise you will get lost." The Dragon Spirit Realm warrior leading the way warned everyone as they walked.
A warrior's eyesight is extremely good, and he can see his surroundings clearly even in the dark underground.
At this moment, everyone's feet were sprinkled with stone powder, but some roads that turned in other directions were not sprinkled with stone powder.
All the warriors followed one after another. Although their hearts were full of vigilance, they still did not encounter a single ant demon along the way, even though they had gone more than a hundred miles underground.
Some people speculate that batch after batch of warriors must have passed by and almost wiped out the ant demons here.
However, there are still some people who are wary. They believe that the ant demons are extremely fertile and cannot be easily eliminated.
Just as everyone was making guesses, a slight noise suddenly came from a certain area, like the rustling of leaves in the breeze. Some people were alert and immediately looked for the sound.
"No, it's the ant demon."
"Oh my god, there are so many."
Anyone who saw it immediately opened their eyes wide and screamed in horror.
After everyone heard this, they activated their spiritual power and entered a state of combat readiness.
Zhou Yuan glanced at Fan Changchun on the other side, and Fan Changchun also glanced at him. Then, Fan Changchun looked at Zeng Miaoyu and Hong Lie on the other side. Zhou Yuan immediately followed Fan Changchun's gaze.
, just met the eyes of Zeng Miaoyu and Hong Lie.
It turns out that Zeng Miaoyu also knew that Zhou Yuan had temporarily cooperated with them.
None of the four people spoke, but after repeated exchanges of looks, they reached a consensus.
Zhou Yuan immediately turned around and looked at the place where the ant demon appeared.
There was originally a wall, but a small hole suddenly appeared, and then palm-sized ant demons crawled out of the small hole.
Perhaps it was too crowded. As the soil fell off, the hole became larger and larger, and dense ant demons rushed out from there. They also made rat-like noises and rushed towards everyone crazily.
The ant demon looks like an ordinary ant, but it has black and white stripes all over its body, and its pliers-like mouth looks extremely sharp.
The ant demon swooped in and blocked everyone's way in an instant.
The nearest warrior quickly took out his weapon and began to fight against them.
A single ant demon is easy to deal with, but a large number of ant demons are not so easy to deal with.
With a scream, someone accidentally fell down and the ant demon climbed on top of him. In the blink of an eye, the warrior turned into a withered skeleton.
Fan Changchun took out a palm-sized box, opened it, and immediately several tall praying mantises jumped out.
The box is different from ordinary storage tools. It can store living objects and is the most used thing by beast masters. However, the space inside is not as large as ordinary storage space.
"I didn't expect to encounter an ant demon. It's really unlucky."
"Don't worry, as long as we don't give them a chance to get close, they won't be able to hurt us."
Some warriors were desperately trying to kill the ant demons. With one strike, all the ant demons rushing forward were cut in half. Some alchemists sprinkled a handful of powder without hesitation. When the ant demons were contaminated with the powder, the poison instantly invaded their whole bodies.
Silently to the end.
Zhou Yuan also took out his long sword and killed the ant demons approaching him indiscriminately.
The mantis next to Fan Changchun is as tall as a person. Their vision in the cave is better than that of humans, and their reactions are extremely fast. At this moment, the mantis arms are raised high, and any ant demon that approaches Fan Changchun will be killed by the mantis arms.
Pierce the body.
These ant demons were only at the fourth or fifth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, but they were more numerous and many warriors died because they were unable to guard against them.
The ant demon passed by and not a blade of grass grew.
No matter how powerful the body is, it cannot escape from the sharp pliers of the ant demon.
Sure enough, even a safe passage with spirit stones is not absolutely safe, and some weak warriors will still die when the time comes.
"It's too scary. Their number is too astonishing. Didn't those twelve strong men block most of the ant demons? Why are there so many here?" Someone shouted in horror.
"Don't panic. The more you panic, the faster you will die. That cave is obviously the latest path to be opened."
"Yes, the ant demon is not stupid. If he is trapped inside, he will naturally find his way again."
Although many warriors complained, they still resisted vigorously and did not dare to be careless and kill the ant demons that approached one after another.
