Chapter 404: Permission for Underground Passage
When Ma Shuo saw the true appearance of the queen ant, the whole person was startled.
The combined length of the cephalothorax is about the same as that of an ordinary gold-eating ant, that is, the length of a palm.
But the last segment of the abdomen is nearly two meters long. Fat, white, and round, they are completely unable to move on their own.
The bottom of the belly is densely packed with ants, and the queen occasionally moves a few steps forward.
At the tip of the queen's abdomen, olive-sized, white eggs like grains of rice are slowly discharged.
Before the eggs landed, they were caught by a gold-eating ant, turned around and quickly crawled into the distance, and arranged the eggs neatly one by one.
Looking back, countless dense white insect eggs almost covered more than half of the entire thousands of square meters of space.
There is a constant stream of gold-eating ants coming and going, moving in and out of carrion fruits and leaves in their mouths, and occasionally pulling a tiger in through a hole.
This made Ma Shuo suddenly feel his scalp tingle, but he couldn't help but continue to watch this cruel scene.
As for the surrounding rotten flesh and bones, and the accumulation of various rotten substances for an unknown number of years, and the taste of fermentation for an unknown amount of time, he has selectively ignored them.
Jesses smiled and said, "This is the queen ant, how about it?
"Hmm. Ma Shuo swallowed his saliva and nodded back: "I didn't expect that the queen ant would be so big!"
Jesses chuckled twice, and his expression also had a look of reminiscence: "Yes, I had the same expression at the beginning, and my face was even paler than yours." ”
Seeing Ma Shuo subconsciously nodded, Jesses directly introduced: "The queen ant has seen it, and this is only the first layer, and there are five layers to go down, and the maturity of the eggs is getting higher and higher as you go down." ”
Ma Shuo was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Jesses's rather indifferent expression: "Okay, do you want to go down from there?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to a downward hole in front of him. This surprised Jesses a little, and he was relieved when he thought about it.
Although the little guy in front of him is not very old, he is an alien who really has abilities. Whether it is hearing or smell, it will definitely be much sharper than humans.
After thinking about it, he immediately nodded: "Yes, that's it! The beast spirit is at the bottom. ”
After speaking, he took a step and walked to the right, and Ma Shuo followed, quickly descending to the fifth layer layer layer by layer, and the smell of rancid fermentation became more and more intense.
When Ma Shuo saw the beast spirit in front of him, Jesses's face showed a blank look: "When my father was alive, he said that the beast spirit was on this layer, but I couldn't see it anyway. ”
"What about the Void, Lingshuang, and the Green Emperor?"
"No, you can't. Jesses shrugged, "They can only sense that the beast spirit is here, and judging by the actual results, they really can't see it." ”
"Hmm. Ma Shuo nodded when he heard this: "Makes sense!"
Jesses was stunned suddenly, and then looked at Ma Shuo deeply: "It is said that a beast spirit can only be seen by its owner, and you?"
"Hmm. Ma Shuo nodded and pointed to the open space three or four meters in front of him: "The size is about thirty centimeters, showing the appearance of a book and classics, and there are reliefs in the shape of ants on both sides." ”
"You. Jesse's pupils shrank, and his head was completely clouded. An Inhuman ability with extreme endurance, but you can still see the beast spirits here.
Ma Shuo just smiled slightly, and walked towards the location of the beast spirit.
Jesses suddenly woke up and left his surroundings, and the gold-eating ants would eat Ma Shuo directly as food.
But by the time he reacted, Ma Shuo had already left his protective range.
But the countless gold-eating ants under their feet turned a blind eye to it, as if they couldn't see Ma Shuo at all, and continued to be busy with their own affairs.
This surprised Jesses, and he became more and more curious about Marsh.
As for suspicion and vigilance, before talking to Ma Shuo, the doubts in his heart were heavier than anyone else's.
But Ma Shuo is the apprentice of his half-sister, and this result is also officially confirmed by him.
This relationship and relationship instantly brought the two closer a lot.
What's more, the beast spirit is something he can't use at all, since Ma Shuo can feel the existence of the beast spirit, it doesn't matter how strange the result is.
Standing quietly in place, he stopped after watching his junior approach the beast spirit, and under his completely unknown gaze, he watched Ma Shuo raise his arm and close his eyes.
The next moment, a thin layer of white light faintly appeared all over the body.
Seeing this, Jesses couldn't help but marvel again, Ma Shuo was really able to absorb the beast spirit, and he was not at all guarded against him.
If he has evil intentions in his heart, as long as he leisurely steps forward and stabs him, Ma Shuo will be eaten by the beast spirit in an instant.
Is it ignorance? maybe. But what this ignorance represents is an instinctive trust in him, the uncle he met for the first time.
Since the relationship between the two is not ordinary, and Ma Shuo entrusted his trust to him. Jesses, who is just using each other with Inhumans, immediately felt a warmth in his heart.
How many years have I not experienced the feeling of trust? I am afraid that it must have been more than forty years since the death of Arad Loening and her mother!
If you think about it carefully, forty years is too long, and Ma Shuo has forgotten this feeling. It wasn't until Ma Shuo's "ignorant" behavior just now that he once again aroused his feelings about trust.
It's a great feeling!
After more than ten minutes, the halo on Ma Shuo's body gradually converged and disappeared, and a smile appeared on the corner of Jesse's mouth when he saw this.
Although he couldn't see the appearance of the beast spirit, Ma Shuo's current state had proved that this kid had completely absorbed the beast spirit.
Slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air in his chest, Ma Shuo opened his eyes and looked at his hands. He clenched his fist and felt the force, and the corners of his mouth finally showed a long-lost smile.
Gold-eating ants!
In comparison to its size, it is the most powerful creature in the world. As soon as he completely absorbed the beast spirit, he did immediately feel a lot more relaxed throughout his body.
Suddenly, the third star point behind him felt a slight heat, and Ma Shuo was stunned for a moment.
The next moment, Ma Shuo frowned again, looked at the layers of insect eggs on the ground, and then turned to look at Jesses behind him: "Okay, the beast spirit has been completely absorbed!"
"Yes, Xiaobai. Jesses smiled and nodded: "I will tell them that in the future, you can enter and exit the Black Mountain Castle at will, and there will be no more restrictions." ”
"Really?" Ma Shuo suddenly asked with a surprised face, "But, why?"
Jesses smiled slightly: "Because you can be trusted!"
The two didn't know during the conversation that Ling Shuang, who was full of silver hair hanging down to his calves, stood there eavesdropping all the time by the hole behind Jesses.
At this time, I felt that the time was almost up, so I dodged and left quickly, leaving no trace of the past.
