h2> time goes back fifteen minutes ago.

The four of them had already entered the third tunnel, and they were about to enter the fourth tunnel, Ye Lingqi originally thought that if she continued to continue in this tunnel, then she would give up and prepare to leave.

But just after reaching the end of the third tunnel, Ye Liqi heard a slight sound.

I can't tell what the sound is, like the cry of a bug, it's not crisp, it's thin, it's gentle, it's like the kind of collision between the tentacles, or some "squeak" sounds, and the slight friction sound of many legs crawling on the ground, which makes people get goosebumps all over their bodies when they listen carefully.

What could it be to make such a sound, Ye Liqi thought of something at once, raised her hand to signal everyone to stop, she slowly poked her head out, and saw that in an ice-blue tunnel, there was a huge ant nest nearly two meters high, and this ant nest was a beautiful crystal blue.

No, it's not crystal blue, it's that kind of ore blue, just like an ant nest stacked with blue ore, those ores will still shine slightly, as if they are glowing, and the wolf-eye flashlights of several of them have been turned off when they entered this ice-blue tunnel, because they don't need it at all.

Ye Liqi slightly increased his breathing, but he woke up in an instant.

Glancing at the surroundings, the tunnel was slightly narrower than before, about five meters wide, and it was impossible to see what was behind the nest.

In the ant nest, some ice blue, like ice blue ants carved from crystal are slowly crawling in and out, far away, Ye Lingqi did not see the exact situation, around, some ice blue ants the size of thumb belly are also constantly crawling back and forth, I don't know what they are doing.

What is it, termites? No, this will never be termites, what are termites like, the one she saw just now, at least not white but also milky yellow, what are these, ice blue, are there blue ants in the world?

Or is there something wrong with them, or is this the mutant termite nest she guessed, so is there also a high-level queen in that huge ant nest?

Ye Li's gaze wandered all the way along the ice-blue ant on the ground, this ant was about the size of her thumb, no matter what kind of ant it was, this was considered a big one, but in this ice-blue ant nest, it was just normal.

When Ye Lingqi saw the ice-blue ant slowly crawling out of the nest, and then slowly crawling down the ice-blue jewel-like nest to the ground, and then crawling along the ground to the wall on the right, a slight premonition rose in his heart.

Sure enough, the next moment, I saw that the ice-blue ant that was as bright as the size of a thumb suddenly disappeared under Ye Li's nose.

Ye Li's fingers moved slightly, slowly retreated, and retracted behind the wall, and the other three also took a careful look at the ant nest over there.

None of the four of them spoke, and an atmosphere called tension slowly rose between the four of them, and the surroundings were very quiet, and it seemed that they could hear their own heartbeats.

Di Yang coughed, breaking the peace: "Let's go." ”

Yue Chengxuan's eyebrows moved slightly, but he looked at Ye Ling.

Luo Ka lowered his head on the side and didn't know what to do, but Ye Liqi saw Luo Ka turn over the map they had walked on before.

In the huge ant nest that the three of them just saw, a huge ice blue ant about the size of an adult's fist stood in the center of the nest, its belly seemed to glow with blue light, and what silenced them was that more and more ice blue ants crawled out of the nest, and then twisted into the ice blue wall next to it, slowly disappearing.

Ye Liqi forcibly suppressed the tension in his heart, and that bad premonition, turned to look at the ice-blue wall behind him, and quickly analyzed these anomalies in his heart.

The faint glow of ice blue seemed to emanate from some unknown substance in the soil, changing the surrounding soil to resemble neither ore nor loose soil.

Her fingers trembled slightly, and she turned to look at the ice-blue wall, the uneven surface, I don't know if it was because of her dazzle, or if the ice-blue wall would move on its own, she actually felt the protruding stone in front of her shake a little.

Pulling out the dagger behind his waist, Ye Liqi swallowed his saliva slightly, and in his ear, there was a "coo" sound.

Quickly dug up the protruding stone, revealing the egg-sized stone pit inside, and when he saw the dense blue translucent insect cocoon inside, Ye Lingqi couldn't help but shiver all over.

One of them, a blue insect cocoon the size of a finger, actually moved slightly, and then out of the cocoon came out of the cocoon a slender ice-blue ant the size of half a finger, perhaps just out of the cocoon, with a little mucus on its body, with the pair of big blue pincers on the top of the head, one by one.

Turning her head to look at the direction she came, perhaps it was reflected by this ice-blue brilliance, which made her feel as if every ice-blue wall was trembling slightly, not the mountains moving, but the surrounding walls, and her feet were still calm, but with the continuous peeling of dirt and stones, the fear in Ye Li's heart also rose to the extreme in the next moment.

"Let's go, this is the queen's nesting ground!" Ye Liqi almost lost his voice and shouted.

The four of them ran quickly, not because they were dazzled, but because the walls around them were really falling off little by little, and the sound of the tentacles colliding with each other and the slender legs rubbing against the ground sounded again, and it became louder and louder, as if it was following them.

The footsteps sounded like drums, and Ye Li's heart seemed to jump out of his throat.

She had never been so scared, whether it was the first time she faced a strange beast, or the competition with Jiaolong, or being violently chased by the tide of strange beasts in country Y.

She really had never been so scared, that kind of fear was not just words, let alone something that could be imagined casually, even if she had never touched the ants behind her, let alone knew what they were, but she was afraid, afraid of those beautiful, beautiful ants.

It is a fear of death that comes from life, it is the instinctive fear of great danger in the body.

Ye Liqi ran very fast, the third tunnel was very long, Ye Liqi felt that they seemed to run for a century, and the third tunnel was very short, when they were about to run back to the second tunnel, Ye Liqi ignored the huge danger behind him, and grabbed the three of them stiffly.

With every breath, the chest cavity followed the sound of "snorting, snorting", like a broken bellows, Ye Liqi walked out of the third tunnel step by step with a slow but firm step.

In the second tunnel after the turn, the sound of the dirt falling gradually stopped, and the "sparse" friction sound was unprecedentedly clear, as if it was ringing in the ears.

Ye Liqi walked over slowly, and held his breath the next moment when he saw the situation in front of him.

Ahead, that overwhelming, dense patch, what is it!

Ants, all ants, like finger-sized ice-blue ants, on their heads, just below the tentacles, a pair of large pincers like crabs flashing with ice-blue sharp light, behind them, an ice-blue tail needle as sharp as a pin is constantly shaking.

There are no numbers, at a glance, the ground, the walls on both sides, and the top of the head, all are ants, large and small, ice blue bodies, sharp pins, sharp tail pins, everything shows their lethality, it is definitely not as simple as it seems.

Ye Liqi slowly retreated, her steps were very light, trying not to make any sound, those ice-blue ants filled the entire tunnel, and there were more ants crawling out of the walls on both sides, and it could be seen that they seemed to be ready to go, just hatching from the cocoons behind the wall, and she was going to leave quietly while they didn't notice her.

The danger hit Ye Li's heart in the next moment!

An ice-blue ant the size of half a palm fell from Ye Li's head.

Ye Liqi quickly retreated, but the right side of his face was still gently slid by the pliers on his head.

Looking at the ice-blue ant on the ground with its head held high, Ye Liqi pulled out the dagger from her waist, her movements were very slow, she didn't want to alarm the ant team behind her.

"Stand back, tap, step back, the front is surrounded by ants." Ye Liqi said in almost the softest voice.

The three of them slowly retreated, Ye Liqi held the dagger in her hand, but she didn't use the knife against the ant on the ground, she didn't want to cause more trouble.

Huge danger loomed over the heads of the four people at any time, but Ye Liqi was suddenly stunned, she saw a faint trace of red on the pincers on the ant's head, and touched her face gently, and sure enough, an invisible opening appeared on her face, which was left by the huge ant across her cheek just now.

In the air, a faint smell of blood gradually filled, and the ants in the second tunnel seemed to be a little anxious, constantly circling on the ground, and the small and noisy sound became louder and louder.

The four of them slowly retreated, their steps were very light, and they didn't even make a sound, but just as they had retreated to the middle of the third tunnel, they heard a miserable cry coming from afar, like the direction of the first tunnel.

Ye Liqi almost ordered the three of them at the next moment: "Run!" ”

The four of them ignored the miserable screams behind them, and quickly ran in the direction of the ant nest.

The giant ant that stayed in place, the tentacles on its head trembled a few times in the air, and then turned its body and chased after it with all its strength in the direction of Ye Liqi and the others.

At the entrance to the first tunnel, an awakened person in a leotard is holding his palm and wailing, and it is visible to the naked eye that a bulging object is swimming inside his palm of his hand.
