Chapter 1076: Ants

Without the ice king crab, the dark river resumed flowing, Lu Yi put away the day after tomorrow array and continued to move forward, this time he came to the end of the dark river without getting out of Lixu, here is an underground lake, the size is thousands of zhang away, there are a lot of ice floes inside, far away, Lu Yi saw a small iceberg in the center of the lake, with a height of about thirty zhang, occupying a large part of the lake. Lu Yi leaned towards the iceberg on full alert, and did not encounter any danger along the way, presumably this is the lair of the ice king crab, and there will be no other demon beasts. Lu Yi climbed the iceberg and found that there were a lot of good things under the ice here, all of which were in a pile of excrement that existed in the ice king crab, including magic weapons and storage containers, which should have been the indigestible hard things on the monks it ate, and they were all excreted. When Lu Yi saw these things, his eyes immediately lit up, and he didn't dislike that these things had been "baptized" by a certain organ of the ice king crab, and he held the hook in his hand and began to pry these treasures from the ice one by one, and he was busy for more than an hour to get all these unexpected gains. Lu Yi sat down on the ice and began to check the contents of the storage magic weapons that he pried one by one, although they were not very rich, but they were more or less good, after all, the level of the monks who could enter here would not be low, basically they were all above the sixth order, so Lu Yi still scavenged a lot of valuable items from the dozens of storage rings. He was busy gathering things here, the black light around him flashed, the acquired array disk appeared in the air again, expanded, a complete body of the ice king crab was "spit out" by the acquired array disk, and slowly fell on the ice, the ice king crab had no spiritual body, but it was still like a living thing, and it was impossible to tell whether it was dead or alive from a distance. Lu Yi originally planned to give this ice king crab * and then classify it according to the use of different parts and use it for refining weapons in the future, after he saw this body, his mind flashed, why not make it into a trap beast? If the means are clever enough, this can be made into a high-level trap beast with the strength of soul building, just like the one used by Mei Qingzhu. Lu Yi's heart is full of joy now, such a good thing, if he doesn't know enough and makes it *, then it is really a tyrannical thing. He hurriedly sent the body of this complete ice king crab into the jade pendant and preserved it, only when his own mechanism skills reached a certain height in the future, he started to make a mechanism beast equivalent to the strength of the spiritual monk, and when the time came, he gave it to Suichuan, so that Suichuan could also have a body, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing?

After packing up the loot, Lu Yi began to circle around this small iceberg, he felt that the appearance of this iceberg here was very abrupt, and it could not be ruled out that it was artificially created, so that the entire underground lake could have a freezing effect, it must have a source, maybe this ice source is in this small iceberg. He exchanged views with Venerable Li Tian, who thought the same, and he encouraged Lu Yi to break open the iceberg to see if there were any other secrets hidden in it. So, Lu Yi became a hard-working mountain movers, this iceberg has existed for I don't know how many years, and the ice on the surface is still relatively easy to break, but Lu Yi only dug a hole a few zhang deep and began to struggle, the more he went inside, the more difficult it became, Lu Yi used the magic weapon of the wine glass to spew flames to try to melt these ice, and the effect was not too ideal. In the end, he had to use the Nine Turns Dragon and Phoenix Furnace again to speed up his progress. But this time, his consumption was a bit large, and Lu Yi didn't dare to be too arbitrary, so he had to spare some strength to deal with emergencies, so he stopped and recovered after working for a while, and then stopped again, so it took a few days and nights, and finally let him dig out an ice cave dozens of feet deep.

The ice in front of him had turned light blue, and even a treasure like the Nine Turns Dragon and Phoenix Furnace was already a little difficult to melt this light blue ice. Venerable Li Tian told Lu Yi that if he could take away the light blue ice inside the iceberg, it would definitely be a good choice, and the effect of these solid ice should be very good when used to make magic weapons, but if you want to remove it as a whole, you must find its roots, so he asked Lu Yi to use the Nine Revolutions Dragon and Phoenix Furnace to melt around the light blue ice layer to determine how large the light blue ice layer is. Lu Yi took a lot of effort to go through a long time, and finally walked around the iceberg, now, this iceberg was melted out of a mountain passage by him in the center, Lu Yi did this after a rough measurement, the light blue core ice layer in the middle is about sixteen or seven zhang in radius, he melted the ice upwards again, and found the apex of the light blue ice, it can be seen that the height is about three zhang away, the only thing I don't know now is how many foundations it has underwater, but this is already a big guy, if you want to place it in your jade pendant, you must find a suitable place to place it, otherwise it is so cold, it will definitely freeze and change the surrounding environment. Lu Yi took a good rest and began to explore the bottom of the iceberg, but he didn't expect that this iceberg was extremely deep underwater, and Lu Yi explored dozens of feet down and still didn't find the bottom of the light blue ice. The part of the iceberg that looked out of the water was not big, but the part hidden under the water was extremely amazing, and Lu Yi had no choice but to return when he went down to about 100 zhang, because he couldn't find the bottom of the iceberg at all, and even Venerable Li Tian suspected that this bottom should be connected to the ground at the bottom of the lake. Returning to the lake again, Lu Yi rummaged through the cabinet and found the sharp gold treasure dagger that was successfully built by him, and spent a lot of effort to cut off a piece of the top of the light blue iceberg and threw it into the pet beast space in another piece of jade pendant that had been vacant, there was a small pond in it, when the corner of the light blue iceberg was thrown into it, the entire pond instantly became an ice pond, and there was no more water to flow.

Finally gained a little, didn't let himself work in vain, otherwise Lu Yi would have to die of depression, recover his strength, Lu Yi abandoned the lake and landed, there are many holes along the shore of the lake, some large and some small, Lu Yi checked one by one, and found that there were several holes with obvious traces, which could be seen to be left by fighting, and it was caused by the ice king crab fighting with the prey when hunting. Lu Yi finally found a slightly larger hole without any traces and drilled into it to see if he could find a way out this time.

The cave is winding, wide and narrow, there is nothing else except the wet stone wall, Lu Yi walked for two hours before he found a glimmer of light in front of him, there will be light in such an underground cave, this is definitely an abnormal thing, so Lu Yi quickly approached the position of the bright light, and was fully prepared to shoot at any time. Closer, closer, Lu Yi can finally see clearly, the bright light in front of him is made up of a piece of fluorescence gathered by dots, and the source of the fluorescence Lu Yi finally figured out, it turned out to be some brown ants the size of a palm, the number is hundreds, the abdomen of those ants will emit a pale yellow light, at this moment these ants are collectively lying on a stone pillar more than a foot high, thick and two people hugging each other, moving and doing something. Lu Yi quietly approached, and finally saw the stone pillar clearly, what kind of stone pillar it was, it was clearly an unknown crystal formed after the mucus secreted by these ants' mouths was dried, and those ants were lying on it and were still spitting out a slightly yellowish liquid, which seemed to be reinforcing the crystal pillar.

Lu Yi saw that those ants didn't seem to find themselves, and he didn't want to disturb them so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, he quietly retreated for a distance, and then walked around the cave wall away from those ants and continued to move forward. This seems to be something wrong, Lu Yi feels as if he has broken into the depths of the ant nest, this is the conclusion that Lu Yi came to by virtue of his familiarity with the knowledge of demon beasts supplemented by field observation, because the brown ants he saw at the beginning were just fifth-order demon beasts, and the next few waves of ants were comparable to their level but the number had increased, and by the third pillar, the number had reached thousands, and the ant level on the fourth pillar that he encountered just now had become the sixth order, and the body color had changed to yellow. The size has also become a foot away, and these ants have not yet discovered Lu Yi's existence, so Lu Yi is not sure if they will be aggressive. Lu Yi stopped and thought about it for a while, and finally decided to move forward, because there is not necessarily no danger in other caves, rather than going back to face the unknown situation, at least these ants in front of him have not posed any threat to him, it is better to go to the dark one way.

So Lu Yi went deeper and deeper, the number of ants in the cave in front of him was getting higher and higher, and the density of the stone pillars was getting higher and higher, and finally, the front had been blocked by more than a dozen staggered stone pillars, looking at the seventh-order ants that had become translucent and light yellow with a body length like an adult's arm. The gap between the stone pillars in front of him is very small, and if you want to pass through, you must be very careful not to come into contact with the ants lying on it, and these ants seem to be very vigilant, Lu Yi had tried to get close to this kind of seventh-order ants just now, but he found that if he didn't hide his breath, he would be detected by the other party if he was close to them within three zhang range, and if he concealed his breath It is probably possible to be three feet away without being discovered, but the distance between the stone pillars in front of him is not three feet at all, and those stone pillars are very high, they have reached the top of the cave, and it is impossible to pass from above, Lu Yi felt a little scratching his head for the first time.
