She was worried, and suddenly, as soon as she thought about it, she saw that the soul devouring ants began to fall down one by one, and then as if the tide was receding, they retreated one by one, and soon retreated cleanly, as if they had never appeared on the ground.

She couldn't help but be surprised, thought about it, and simply chased in the direction of the ant colony, wanting to see what was going on.

When she came to the bottom of the mountain, she found that this place was no different from ordinary mountains, the rocks and mud were formed by the uplift of the ground, which was the most real existence, and the stones and soil at the foot of the mountain were very strong, there were no gaps, not to mention caves and the like, so where did those soul eaters climb out from? How could she get in?

was hesitating, suddenly in front of her there were bursts of aura fluctuations, and then she saw that the mountain wall in front of her began to shake, making a "boom" sound, as if in the movement of the earth's crust, a thin crack was generated, and then as the shaking intensified, the sound became louder and louder, the crack became bigger and bigger, and the stones rolled down, she was suddenly startled, and thought that she had encountered a landslide!

Hurriedly jumping back, she jumped out of a distance of more than ten meters, and found that the falling rocks could not hit here, so she stopped, and then looked dumbfounded at the top of the mountain to reveal a cave more than one person high, the entrance of the cave was dark, and it was impossible to see the situation inside.

What's going on?

Before she could react, the roar stopped, and the shaking of the mountain also stopped, and no rocks fell, until the dust had settled. The place was quiet again. Aside from the swarthy cave, there was no movement in sight. As if Fang Cai's change was a dream, Lin Lan rubbed his eyes. Suddenly, I felt that I seemed to be a little unsure about this Sumeru small world.

From the cave, there seemed to be a faint call, which made her heart can't help but sprout, and her feet seemed to have their own consciousness, slowly walking forward.

But she still gathered her spiritual power and was ready to deal with emergencies - if she was inexplicably attacked in her own space and suffered any damage, it would be a shame to go home!

Walking into the cave, it can be said that you can't see your fingers. Even though she has night vision, she can only see a vague image. What should have affected her movement, but she didn't feel that it was so difficult, as if a voice in her subconscious was telling her how to walk, and after turning and turning, her eyes suddenly lit up and suddenly opened up.

She couldn't help but close her eyes, and when she opened them again, she adjusted to the sudden light, only to see that in front of her was a cave that was exactly the same as the nest of the Soul Eater Ant she had seen before. Tens of thousands of soul eaters lay on top of each other, and on a high platform in front of them, the mysteriously disappeared cocoon seemed to have not moved here for thousands of years. Don't listen to the soul-devouring ants crawling out of it, and join the army of ants that are already full of pits and valleys.

The only difference was that she was not attacked for her entry this time. It was as if the soul eaters were collectively blind, oblivious to her arrival.

Her heart fluttered. I felt that kind of vague feeling, and it seemed to come from the cocoon. She cautiously tried to reach for her senses. As soon as he made contact with the big cocoon, a mysterious thought was passed over.

She was stunned for a moment, carefully sensed the thought, and then couldn't help but show a strange look on her face.

It turns out that although this cocoon is a little strangely shaped, there is no doubt that it is indeed the "queen" of this group of soul eaters, and all the soul eaters are produced from it.

This "queen ant" has existed for I don't know how many years, even older than the age of the ancient treasure house, and it is precisely because of this group of soul eater ant colonies that the monk has taken a fancy to this group of soul eaters, so he has built his own cave and treasure house here.

The Soul Eater is a peculiar ant that does not need to eat at all, and can survive by relying solely on aura. Of course, when it feels attacked, the Soul Eater Ant Swarm will also attack the enemy by devouring the aura, although the individual attacks are very weak, but if such tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands of Soul Eaters swarmed up, it is still a headache.

This queen has been tirelessly producing soul eaters, and when the old ones die, new ones will soon be replenished, so this soul eater ant colony has existed for at least tens of thousands of years. The vicissitudes of life, the changes of heaven and earth, the current cultivation realm is not as good as before, the aura that the queen ant can obtain has been greatly reduced, and the spirit devouring ants that can be produced are becoming less and less, so that the soul devouring ant colony has shrunk greatly, and the number of people who Lin Lan and they saw at the beginning, which used to make them anxious and embarrassed, has actually been reduced a lot.

The Spirit Eater Ant is not a spirit beast and does not have its own sanity, but the queen ant does. Although it knew that its environment had changed, there was no solution to it, and if it continued like this, it would surely die thousands of years later. It is naturally unwilling.

And at this moment, Lin Lan and the others entered the ant's nest. Lingyouzi and they are just that, but Lin Lan is practicing ancient exercises, and there is also a trace of ancient breath on her, and the queen ant feels it, and she seems to see a glimmer of life. Later, Lin Lan inadvertently suffered a small injury during the attack, and he didn't care about it, but one or two drops of blood inadvertently spilled on the queen's body. The queen ant was facing a crisis of survival, and she felt a familiar aura on Lin Lan, so she signed a contract with her as the main pet without hesitation.

Don't look at the queen ant like a big cocoon, bulky and useless, but after all, it is a spirit beast that has lived for tens of thousands of years, so its realm is much higher than Lin Lan's now. When the two signed the contract of the main pet, they didn't need Lin Lan's consent at all, and they wouldn't let her feel it at all, so the queen ant automatically and consciously got into this small world of Sumeru and set up camp.

This is a world with a particularly abundant aura, and the queen ant finally asked for an existential crisis, so she lived in peace of mind, and brought her entire race in. It's just that it has been busy adapting to the new environment before, and it didn't have time to have more contact with Lin Lan, so Lin Lan naturally didn't know that he had already picked up a big bargain for nothing, and was still thinking about how to collect these soul devouring ants for his own use. In fact, she already has a contract with the queen ant, which means that these soul eater ants are actually her spirit pets, and she can mobilize them at any time like Tao Yao and Yin'er, without any effort.

She never dreamed that she was just a little "ancient" light, and she would get such a big help in vain, and the dream came true, almost making her wonder if it was a dream! She blinked vigorously, then tentatively moved her mind, and a group of Soul Eaters crawled towards her, crawled down her feet into her palms, and then obediently stood still.

Sure enough, it's true!

She was in ecstasy all of a sudden, and she no longer felt disgusted or her scalp tingle with the dense ant colony, but how she looked at it and felt cute. She looked at the queen and raised her eyebrows, passing a string of messages to the past.

The queen ant just wants to live in this world with abundant spiritual energy, absorbing spiritual energy to preserve herself and reproduce the race. It will absorb some of the aura, but from the current point of view, it will not have much impact on the entire Sumeru Small World Realm, and she will go with it. It's just that if it encounters a strong enemy in the future, when it helps, Lin Lan doesn't allow it to negotiate the price and put forward conditions, if it is a spirit pet, it must look like a spirit pet, and it can't deliberately take Qiao because its realm is higher than his own.

The queen naturally had no objection to this, and the two reached a preliminary agreement.

Lin Lan had actually been a little worried, these Spirit Devouring Ants stayed in their own space, if there was a sudden riot or something one day, wouldn't she, the Sumeru Small World Realm, be in a mess? But now that this concern has completely disappeared, the Spirit Eater Ant has become a spirit pet that she can use and control at any time, and she seems to feel that the entire world is completely back in her hands, and she once again has complete control.

She walked out of the cave in a good mood, and when she came outside, she saw the clear sky and the bright sun, and she felt relaxed and happy for a while, and she couldn't say how comfortable.

However, in the next moment, a trace of doubt arose, what was going on in this space?

When he was in the Phantom Heaven Wonderland before, the owner there had told him that the Phantom Heaven Wonderland itself was a Sumeru Small World Realm. And the mountains and rivers, wilderness, Gobi, flowers, trees, birds, beasts, insects and fish that she encountered, saw, and felt in it were all true, indicating that the Sumeru Xiaoshi Realm was a place that could accommodate living creatures.

It's not that such a place is not uncommon, it's just rare, and she has always regarded this place as an independent hidden space or something, where she can store materials, retreat and cultivate, grow herbs, and improve her level. But now, the queen ant actually told her that there was a trace of antiquity in this space, and she also found that this space was becoming more and more like a real worldly realm, and now even the blue sky and white clouds, the sun and the moon came out, who could tell her whether these things were real or just a kind of illusion?

With deep doubts, she returned to the cabin. Tao Yao was waiting for her, and when she saw her, she hurriedly said, "Master, that Helian Qiqing seems to be looking for you, do you want to go out and have a look?" ”

She couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "How long have I been here?" ”

Tao Yao counted with her fingers and said, "It's been six days!" (To be continued......)
