Chapter 0211: Treasure Hunt
The collapsed passage of the cemetery was once again opened by acidophilic ants, and more than 300,000 dense ants poured into it desperately. In order to speed things up, they even dug a dozen more passages, broke into the cemetery and spread everywhere, like mercury pouring into the ground.
Fabro's mind jammer couldn't be said to be ineffective, and the queen ant was visibly blown away by the gadget. It didn't even think about the curse suffered by the clan, let alone whether Zhou Qingfeng had a way to do it, anyway, it poured out all its anger.
Without any scruples, the search area of the flood-like search quickly expanded, and soon touched the defense system of the dungeon. The cemetery, the temple area, the barracks area, the central area, where the ants appear, the defenses left by the elves are activated.
It's just that when the queen ant also entered the dungeon under the package of worker ants, it immediately found a trouble - Silver Leaf City is a city with a radius of more than ten kilometers. After the city was submerged, many areas were cut off from each other. But it's still very large and complex.
The large area and complex environment are all weakening the impact of acidophilic ant colonies. But now that it's over, there's no going back. The queen ant could only rush without a brain, except for leaving some soldiers and ants to guard the passage, the other ant colonies went to search for Zhou Qingfeng and others.
The ants on the ground went underground, and the raiding party that followed the colony quietly followed. The spell of 'Charm Monster' can turn enemies into friends, and as long as Warren and the others do not attack, they can smoothly follow the ant colony into the dungeon.
Ants swarmed in, Warren and the others appeared and disappeared, and the ground became deserted again after a whole day. Except for a small number of acidophilus ants moving outside the passage, there is no other movement to be seen.
But this desertion only lasted for less than a day, and a large number of goblins who were originally entrenched on the ground of the ruins seemed to have amnesia, shouting the words of 'Okeok', and appeared outside the passage curiously.
Zur. Grayskin jumped out again, standing in front of his clan with his skeletal staff held high, grabbing a lone acidophilus ant and shaking it. When the ant spit out the acid in the gland, it opened its mouth to ask for a piece of ant meat and shouted, "You can eat it." ”
......, one sentence stirred up a thousand waves. The old goblins knew too well the temperament of their own kind, and it was useless to talk to them about courage and friendship, and it was best to talk about interests, and even better when talking about food.
Weak goblins are at the bottom of the food chain in the Black Forest, except for their large numbers, and hunger is common. They are omnivorous and eat whatever they see. A single acid-emolin ant is no match for a goblin at all.
Zhou Qingfeng broke into the dungeon and attacked the ant queen, and the 'Swift Shadow' used the flames all over his body to make an ant barbecue. The ant carcasses outside the passage were quickly eaten by the goblins who ran back, and then they began to try to eat the ants that went underground.
It's not just goblins who run back. Bears, goblins, kobolds, lizardmen, gnolls, and hungry monsters have popped up. They usually eat acidophilic ants, but they can't get into the nest, but this time it's simple, and they crawl out on their own.
The main force of acidophilus ants poured into the cemetery and spread to other areas of the dungeon. The queen ant had dug a lot of passages in order to speed up the speed, but when she found that she was in trouble behind her, she didn't have time to block it.
At first, there were only a thousand goblins and a few kobolds to attack the acidophilic ants. But as time went on, the monsters who had been scared by the ant army to flee for their lives ran back one after another to join this ant eating contest.
The dungeon, which had been silent for 50 years, became bustling with activity in just one day. Due to the influx of monsters, it was difficult to breathe in the enclosed space.
Even the acidophilus ants themselves were forced to dig a few more passages underground to the surface. As a result, more monsters are running down from the ground. The Silver Leaf Castle, which sank into the ground, fell into a complete chaos.
Before the situation became extremely bad, Zhou Qingfeng, who entered the dungeon first, could still enjoy himself for a while. He spent hours under the roots of the Elven Ancient Tree.
The people of Coldwind City worked hard to find the treasure throughout the dungeon, and the more than 200 hidden servants controlled by Sophia had already reconnoitred the entire ruins of Silverleaf City.
The fragile hidden servant lost nearly half of his losses in the course of the investigation, but he roughly figured out where it was safe and where it was dangerous. All the information was gathered into Zhou Qingfeng's mind, and he began to make a plan for where the best place to explore.
"Let's go to the Silver Leaf Palace, that's where I used to live, and it's not far from us. I suddenly wanted to go back to the room where I had been. Healy suggested.
Silver Leaf Palace? It sounds like the core area.
Zhou Qingfeng has no opinion on this. He left the five rookie guards under the ancient tree, took Shadow and Adrian, and quietly rushed to a palace-shaped building in the center of the city.
The way there was a smooth one, and the acidophilus ants had not yet spread here. The palace has no walls, only a garden that has withered. Healy didn't go through the main entrance, she ran to a fountain in the garden, and skillfully opened a mechanism, revealing a secret passage.
The passage is narrow, but there is a surge of air, and there is a bright light at the top, which is a patch of luminous stone. Zhou Qingfeng followed Heli in, and sighed: "You elves were really rich back then. ”
"Silver Leaf City has accumulated wealth for more than a thousand years. Compared to now, we did live extremely wealthy and carefree back then. Healy sighed a few times, and walked faster on her feet.
Zhou Qingfeng and the others entered, and the 'Shadow Shadow' was too big to be outside. The dead horse squeezed half of his head and came in, and said, "Master, you left me again." This dungeon is like a prison, and I have a claustrophobia. ”
"Don't worry, you wait outside, and there will be ants to play with you soon." Zhou Qingfeng took Adrian and followed Heli in front. Three people enter, and the entrance closes automatically.
They walked down the narrow passage for several minutes, finally pushing open a secret door and entering a dimly lit space. Healy pressed her hand on the wall outside the secret door, and a pillar of light shone from the sky.
Pillars of light illuminate a brilliant and colorful floor. Within a few seconds, the spot of light expanded rapidly, and Zhou Qingfeng found himself standing on the edge of a hall. Huge columns support the towering dome, and beautiful drapery adorns the ornate halls, dazzling in golden colors.
Sheilly stepped forward and looked at the end of the hall, "Look that's my father's throne." ”
A dozen paces away, in the middle of a wide staircase is an oak chair decorated with gold and precious stones. Illuminated by the pillar of light overhead, the chair radiates a dazzling brilliance, and anyone who sits on it will have a majesty that shocks the soul.
Adrian followed behind and shouted in disbelief, "This chair alone is worth 10,000 gold coins." ”
Healy smiled bitterly, "Mr. Clown, you underestimate us elves too much. You can add a zero to the estimated price. And that's just the cost of materials. The cost of elf master-level craftsmanship is even more difficult to calculate. ”
When Uncle Zhou saw this chair and then looked at this magnificent place, he smiled bitterly and said, "Good chair, really good chair." But I can't take such a valuable chair with me, and I don't know if the lucky one will be cheaper in the end. ”
Healy pulled Zhou Qingfeng's hand, "Good things have actually been moved." This chair symbolizes royal power, so it didn't move. But that's okay, don't worry too much about the money. Come with me, go to my room first. Then I have something to give you. ”
"What's that?"
"Good stuff, guaranteed to blow your mind."
