The soil on the ground began to slowly squeeze on both sides, and soon a deep pit was formed. Zhao Feng shook his hand and pushed the four sticky balls in with his palm. As soon as the sticky balls landed in the pit, a small beetle tore open the egg membrane and squeezed out of it. Although this beetle is small, it is already very hideous, and it circles around the bottom of the pit, as if it is looking for something, and after looking around a few times, it seems that it does not seem to find it, and actually begins to gnaw on the eggs next to it.

Qin Lianqing and Kong Yufei's faces turned pale, and Qin Lianqing asked, "Are we the food that was found?" ”

Kong Yu hesitated for a moment and replied, "It seems good." ”

Zhao Feng didn't care about that, he only said: "This little insect is dead, if we don't leave, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave." ”

This reminder shocked the three of them. Zhao Feng jumped lightly, climbed up to the entrance of the cave, stretched out his head to look out, jumped down and said: "It's amazing, next to us is a towering giant tree, here is full of roots like trees, the roots and trunk are full of this kind of beetles, I am afraid it will be difficult to leave." ”

"What?" The three people of Yingyang Academy looked at each other, and they also showed their heads to take a look, and sure enough, there were that kind of black beetles everywhere here, just looking at the number, they knew that it was definitely not easy to mess with.

"I think these beetles seem to be feeding on the sap of the giant tree, and we should be able to avoid them if we get out of the range of the tree." Kong Yuchi said.

Zhao Feng also said: "However, we are afraid that it will not work if we go from the ground, it is better for us to go from the ground, I took a look, the west is dark, it should be which island we were caught, there must be beetles there, go east, it is the giant tree, for today's plan, only dig to the south or north, we should go north to get to the space gate that day, so, we dig north, how?" ”

Kong Yuchi and the others also discussed it and thought it was a good idea. Kong Yuchi is also a soil spirit source, and he is also a master in digging holes, Zhao Feng took out his tools from the storage bag, and the four of them began to dig holes in turn.

The four of them dug for a while, and then they came across a tree root, and Zhao Feng knocked the iron pickaxe in his hand to the root of the tree at once. There was a loud bang, and the iron pickaxe was actually bounced back by the roots, Zhao Feng touched it and found that the roots were only a little broken. The four of them couldn't help but look at each other, the roots of this tree were so hard, and those beetles outside could actually suck the juice from it, didn't that mean that their teeth were already sharp enough to be comparable to spiritual weapons?

Thinking of this, the four of them didn't dare to go up, but just desperately dug holes along the roots of the tree. Three days later, Zhao Feng's cave wall felt that the cave wall was much cooler than the bottom, and it seemed that it was already very close to the ground.

"Push harder, I feel like I'm almost on the ground." As he was talking, Kong Yuchi scraped down with a pickaxe, and actually dug out a hole, and a string of mucus flowed in at once, and then a strange smell filled the small space.

Kong Yuchi looked out from the narrow entrance of the cave, but saw a huge underground cave, countless beetles were busy back and forth inside, in the middle of the cave was a giant beetle dragging a huge white belly, this beetle lay there motionless, dozens of beetles slightly larger than ordinary beetles guarded by it.

As soon as Kong Yuchi looked at it, he understood that they had actually dug into the beetle's nest, and the giant beetle should be the mother of this group of beetles. Fortunately, these beetles don't have much wisdom, otherwise, I'm afraid that a few of them will definitely have no way back this time.

"Brother Zhao, junior sister, quietly seal the entrance of the hole, and then dig in another direction, this is the nest of insects, and the direction from which it comes is the place to feed, so if you dig in other directions, you should be able to get out." Kong Yu Chi transmitted the voice to the three of them. Zhao Feng also felt that there was no need to turn back, and the three of them all nodded in agreement.

Zhao Feng and the four of them retreated more than three zhang, and then excavated to the side, this time it was very smooth, and they hardly saw anything that could be done. Digging and digging, Zhao Feng suddenly found that the soil he had dug out was getting more and more.

"Senior Brother Kong, slow down, look at this soil, is it getting more and more?"

"Brother Zhao's eyes are correct, yes, I estimate that there may be underground water veins near here, or we are close to a river or lake, it seems that this beetle also needs water, and lives close to the water."

Zhao Feng thought about it for a while, and had an idea: "Senior Brother Kong, you said, although the tunnels we dug along the way have been buried by a lot of soil, they are still somewhat hollow, if we introduce water into the underground nest, can we make those beetles mess up for a while?" If you're lucky, you might be able to kill the worm mother. ”

Kong Yuchi and the three of them discussed it in a low voice, and they also felt that they could give it a try, but it was a problem for them to change how to avoid the flood by themselves.

Zhao Feng replied with a smile: "This is a simple matter, when we are about to dig the lake, dig another tunnel diagonally to the side, and we can hide in it to avoid the flood." ”

Kong Yuchi clapped his hands and said: "Okay, this method is good, my little sister has a few bursting charms on her body, and she will blow up the bottom of the lake." ”

Zhao Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, but he didn't expect that this Kong Yufei's net worth was really not bad.

After placing the burst charm, Zhao Feng hurriedly ran back to the fork in the road and summoned the magic phase to block the entrance to the cave. After a while, only a loud noise was heard, and immediately a wave of water rushed in, leaking deep along the passage opened by Zhao Feng and the others.

Zhao Feng and the four of them waited for a long time, only to see that the water was getting bigger and bigger, and obviously, they had completely broken away from the road.

At this time, Zhao Feng quietly took out the crystal pot and put the pot into the water stream, so that the poisonous water in the pot poured into the underground cave with the water flow.

As Zhao Feng expected, the water soon rushed into the underground cave where the insect mother was. In fact, the mere flow of water could not help this group of beetles, but after the flow of water mixed with poisonous water poured in, everything changed, whether it was the beetle or the mother worm, they died almost instantly when they encountered the poisonous water. As soon as the mother worm died, the originally orderly beetle swarm was completely chaotic, and countless beetles began to attack each other and devour each other, and within half an hour, it was already a situation full of corpses.

Zhao Feng and a few people squatted underground, and they didn't dare to take a breath of the atmosphere, after a long time, Zhao Feng noticed that the water that poured in seemed to change color, and from time to time there were things similar to beetle shell fragments rushing in, it seemed that the bloody battle outside must be very tragic.

The four of them had been in it for a day or so, and the blasted channel had been more than ten times wider, but the current was very slow, and it was clear that the cavern below had been completely submerged.

"Let's go?" Zhao Feng asked the three of them?

The three of them looked at each other and nodded. The four of them quietly surfaced, and the scene they saw was disgusting, and everywhere they looked, there were the remains of beetles, and there were some beetles that were not completely dead. From time to time, beetles fell from the sky, and apparently, beetles were also biting each other on the giant trees.

The four of them pinched their feet softly and went straight to a mountain wall not far away, on the way, the four of them also tried to break the head of a beetle to see if they could find the beast crystal, but they found nothing, so it seems that the only spirit beast should be the worm mother, and the other beetles should not be considered spirit beasts. However, I found a strange thing, it turned out that those beetles all had wings, but these wings were as thin as cicada wings, hidden under the carapace.

Considering that the beetles could fly, the four of them went to the bottom of the mountain wall, found a mud pit, applied sludge to their bodies to cover up the smell, and then used light body skills to slowly climb up, but they did not dare to fly up wantonly.

Zhao Feng and the four of them slowly climbed up along the cliff, and actually saw the dead beetle corpses in the stone caves and platforms on the mountain wall.

"Why are these beetles killing each other?" Kong Yufei asked.

Zhao Feng thought for a while before replying: "It is estimated that these beetles are competing for a new leader, as far as I know, among many insect groups, only one female worm can lay eggs, if the female worm dies, many new female worms will be produced, and these female worms will compete with each other, and even kill each other, until there is only one left." If the mother worm does not die, and a new female worm appears, she will either be killed by the female worm, or leave the population and create a new colony, and maybe the worms here will be the same. ”

It took the four of them three hours to climb into the clouds. Inside the clouds, it was even darker than the world below, and from time to time, a strong wind swept over, mixed with ice chips and water droplets, hitting the body, it was really cold and biting.

When he climbed to an upright rock wall, Zhao Feng suddenly heard a coquettish voice: "Oops! ”

A black shadow fell from above, Zhao Feng didn't even think about it, one hand was like a steel claw, and the other was inserted into the stone wall.

At this time, I only heard Kong Yu ask in a hurry: "Sister, sister, what's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

Zhao Feng saw that it was Kong Yufei, this girl had her eyes closed, her face was bruised, obviously she couldn't stand the cold here, and there were some signs of coma.

Zhao Feng hurriedly comforted: "Senior Brother Kong, Miss Kong is just suffering from some cold. After speaking, Zhao Feng's body was full of yang, and a stream of heat was transmitted to Kong Yufei, and sure enough, within a few minutes, Kong Yufei woke up.

Seeing that Kong Yufei's spirit was much better, Zhao Feng hurriedly asked, "Miss Kong, are you better?" ”

Kong Yufei's face was much better.

After an hour of climbing, the four of them climbed out of the clouds and climbed onto a very small island. The island is only two feet in circumference, hidden in the clouds, and barely visible from a little distance. The four of them sat on the ground all of a sudden, and Zhao Feng looked at the hazy sun in the sky, only feeling like a world away.

In the end, Kong Yufei had little strength, and within a few minutes, she stood up and ran to Qin Lianqing's side, but she didn't look back. Looking at Qin Lianqing's face, obviously, where is this girl shy.

At this time, Zhao Feng suddenly saw a vague yellow shadow in the cloud, and urged the Void Purple Pupil to see that it was actually a golden flower.

"Hold your breath!!" Zhao Feng hurriedly reminded.
