Chapter 45: The Queen Ant
In the cramped corridor, the deep darkness pressed down on them as if there was substance, and even the light emitted by the flames from Hu Xiaoyun's fingertips seemed pale and weak.
Wu Bin's death is like a dark cloud, hanging over everyone's hearts. In the hectic battle before, they didn't have time to think about it, but at this moment, it suddenly quieted down, and some chaotic thoughts filled their minds.
The companions who had been talking and imagining the future together not long ago had now turned into a pile of white bones in front of their eyes. In addition to lamenting, they still have more fear in their hearts that they may face the same situation.
They had fallen into this pit in a hurry, and all their packed bags were scattered all over the ground, buried deep in the rocks and dirt that fell together, and disappeared without a trace.
"It would be nice if those luggage were still there, it's a pity that there are so many dried meat ......" Du Jiujiu felt the remaining energy in his body and sighed in a low voice.
After the intense consumption just now, the energy in her body is now less than fifty percent, and she will have to face unknown powerful creatures next. If she could be given some mutant bird jerky that could restore energy at this time, their chances of survival might be greatly increased.
"Jiujiu, I still have some jerky here, you can take it! I usually have the habit of eating snacks, and I always carry some food with me......" Xiaowen took out a handful of bird jerky from the pocket of her pants with some embarrassment and handed it to Du Jiujiu.
"You consumed the most just now, these are all to replenish your strength, and we still have to rely on you for a while!" Guoguo was worried that Du Jiujiu would not accept it, so he hurriedly added on the side.
Du Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, and saw that several other people also nodded to her, so she no longer hesitated, and took the jerky with dignity and stuffed it into her mouth.
At this critical juncture of life and death, every ounce of energy becomes precious. She is not the only one who needs energy protection, they are willing to give all the jerky to themselves, that is, they pin all their hopes for life on themselves. Du Jiujiu felt as if there was a thousand pounds of weight on her shoulders at this time, which was the pressure and the motivation for her desperate efforts.
After these pieces of dried meat were put down, a trace of warmth slowly wandered from the lower abdomen to the whole body, although it was not as good as in its heyday, but it was much better than before.
The ant-monsters behind them could dig their burrows and attack them again at any moment. Everyone did not dare to delay any longer, and continued to walk forward by the flickering light of the fire.
"That creature is right in front, it's much more powerful than those antmonsters just now, don't take it lightly!" The closer Xiao Wen got to the creature in front of her, the stronger the feeling that her spiritual power was blocked. She could only vaguely sense that the creature was strong, but she didn't know anything else.
As the few people continued to move forward, the originally narrow corridor gradually became wider, and the smell of corruption became more and more intense. Soon after, a huge nest appeared in front of everyone.
"This ...... This is! After everyone saw the situation of the nest ** by the light of the fire, they couldn't help but exclaim.
Not to mention the insect remains that have piled up here. Compared to the deep and narrow corridor just now, the huge lair in front of him was like a palace. Countless pale golden football-sized ant eggs were scattered around the nest, reflecting a soft golden glow in the light of the fire.
And in the middle of the nest, there was a huge ant, its shell was not ordinary black, but pale gold like the extremely fast ant monster that attacked Wu Bin before. The difference is that the previous ant-monster was very petite, but the adult man's arms were short and short, while the ant-monster in front of him was more than two meters long, with thin wings, antennae, and hexapods on its back, which seemed to be the queen of this group of mutant ants.
After hearing the sound, the pair of short tentacles on the head of the golden queen began to swing regularly, apparently spotting them as an intruder.
"The exit is right behind it!" Xiaowen stretched out her hand and pointed to the back of the queen.
Du Jiujiu followed her gaze and saw a hole that could accommodate two people walking side by side lying quietly behind the queen ant. A faint light shone in from the other side of the cave, illuminating at the same time the hope of several of them.
"Okay, let's go!!" Du Jiujiu didn't want to waste any more precious time, so he suddenly jumped up, raised the long knife in his hand in mid-air, and slashed at the queen's waist.
At the same time, the fireball in Hu Xiaoyun's hand had already condensed and formed, attacking the queen ant together with Du Jiujiu's attack.
Although this queen ant is large, her movements do not feel bulky at all. At the moment of crisis, it instantly twisted its body and aimed its hard mouthparts at the attack of the two of them.
Resisted, the crisp sound of the blow and the crackling of the fireball resounded in the lair at the same time. Seeing that this blow did not hit the vital point, Du Jiujiu used the huge force from the long knife to retreat backwards with a backflip.
Although the queen ant was free of life, their attack still made it painful, and she raised her huge mouthparts that were extremely hard and attacked straight towards Du Jiujiu, who was closest to it.
Du Jiujiu was just about to dodge, when suddenly a sharp stinging pain came from her mind, causing her movements to stagnate for a moment.
It's just that in this moment's time, it's too late to dodge, so Du Jiujiu had to hurriedly put the long knife across his chest. Then, with a roar, her body was slammed away by the queen, and her head slammed into the rock of the cave wall. Blood suddenly flowed down her forehead, and her vision gradually blurred.
At the same time that Du Jiujiu was knocked down, the queen's abdomen swelled suddenly, and then a stream of highly corrosive acid shot out of its mouth, spraying straight towards Du Jiujiu, who had no power to dodge.
ββββ Dividing Lineβββββ
There's something I'd like to explain to you here.
Normally, the queen's nest will be located lower in the nest, but in our case, the queen is closer to the ground.
The relatives can understand that the ant queen who was originally located below before the end of the year did not move her nest down after evolution. And those worker ants can only dig down because they want to continue to expand their territory. As a result, the queen ant is closer to the ground.
