Chapter 18: Exploring the Cave
The next morning, on the edge of the cave.
When Li Ang was ready and took Xiao Huang to the edge of the cave, a large platform had been built on the cave, and the elevator had been prepared. The cave was surrounded by three layers inside the army.
Li Ang had a backpack filled with a lot of water, and the Tang knife hung on the backpack.
Seeing Li Ang coming, everyone silently saluted.
"What are you doing looking at me like this! I'm not going to die! "Li Ang's proposal to go down to the burrow is deliberate, mainly relying on Xiao Huang, it is difficult for the ant colony to bite Xiao Huang, and Xiao Huang's flame is very lethal to the ant colony, just hit the soy sauce yourself. I really can't beat it, but it's still no problem to run.
"I'll go with you." Zhou Zhou and others also came.
"No, you also know Xiao Huang's strength, the two of us are more convenient, and the base also needs you."
"Be careful all the way and come back alive."
Bidding farewell to everyone, Li Ang and Xiao Huang squatted in a big basket and were slowly put down.
As the basket continued to fall, the surrounding area became more and more open and darker, and the width of the hole remained basically unchanged, but it continued to lengthen and become narrow. After about 50 meters of descent, a horizontal hole appeared, and Leon shone it in with a flashlight, and large ants crawled over one after another, and arrived at the place.
Leon shook the rope to signal that the upper part would stop descending, and when he looked down, he was still bottomless, it seemed that there should be a big crack formed in the ground for some reason, and the teaching building was just on the crack, which collapsed the hole in the ground, and there was just a group of big ants under the hole. It's really a disaster, both for humans and for big ants. Unfortunately, the side of the couch does not allow others to sleep soundly, and the same is true for humans and large ants.
The cave is very large, it doesn't look like the traces were dug up by big ants, most of them are naturally formed, the cave walls are uneven, and the shape is also very irregular.
There were scattered ants in the cave, which were trampled to death by Li Ang's feet, and after walking for more than 10 minutes, a fork in the road appeared in front of them.
I haven't seen big ants for a while, and I don't know if they have discovered Leon as an uninvited guest or if there are few ants here, and there will be no ants in the holes on both sides, where is this going?
"Xiao Huang, where do you think we are going?"
Xiao Huang looked left and right, sniffed on the ground, hesitated, and walked towards the cave on the right. Although Li Ang didn't know what the basis for Xiao Huang's choice was, he took a look around.
The cave is very long, the more you go, the more open it is, turn a corner, there is a faint light in front of it, walk out of the hole, suddenly open up, there is a bamboo forest here, there is a small road leading to the front between the bamboo forests, Li Ang followed the bamboo path all the way to the front of the two vermilion gates, looked up, there was a plaque on the door, and there were three big characters written: Lingxia Palace.
The door was not closed tightly, but it was hidden, Li Ang pushed the door in, passed the front yard and came to the back hall, this way to the big mansion was no one, there was a room in front, Li Ang gently pushed the door open, there was a bead curtain on the left hand, open the curtain, there was a carved bed, there was a woman on the bed, dressed in colorful clothes, her face was slightly red, her eyes were gently closed, and her cherry mouth was just right.
Looking at her tranquil face, Li Ang only felt that the whole world had lost its color, and only the woman in front of him was dazzling.
The woman's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.
"The slave family has seen the childe." The voice is tactful and refreshing. Leon listened to it and his bones were crispy.
Suddenly, Leon settled down here, and every day he made peace with the woman, and when he was hungry, he had delicious food, and when he was thirsty, he had elixir, and every day was not the same, and in the evening there was that indescribable activity.
On this day, as soon as Li Ang got up and washed, the woman brought a white jade plate: "Son, this is a bun made by the slave family, there are various flavors, come and try it." ”
"Steamed buns, I also have steamed buns, and there are many flavors that I have never seen before, and after eating, ~ can ~~ increase ~~~ strong ~~~~ body ~~~~ quality!" The more Li Ang spoke, the slower he spoke, the more complicated memories kept coming to his heart, and when he looked up, the scene around him slowly blurred, and the woman in front of him became more and more unreal.
Dream?
Biting my arm hard, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it's not a dream?
Looking at it again, the surrounding scene slowly fell apart, rippling like water waves, where there is a bamboo forest, where there is a palace, it is still a dark cave, Xiao Huang is lying on the side, his eyes are closed, and the dog's mouth is constantly drooling, it is obviously also tricked.
kicked Xiao Huang a few times, Xiao Huang opened his eyes blankly, and seemed to be still wondering, why was the barbecue gnawing happily, why was it gone.
It turned out that all this was an illusion, and the initiator of all this was grinning at Leon at this time, and he couldn't tell what kind of animal it was, his face was a bit like a cat, but it had long ears like a rabbit, black and white hair, and a large tail, a bit like a fox's tail, and it was not large, the size of an ordinary cat.
Leon rushed up quickly, and gave it the result in three or two clicks, Leon was a little annoyed and angry, after all, it was still a little wet and slimy in the crotch of his pants.
Harvest a bun as usual:
Item Name: Mutated Assorted Mushroom Pack, Rare Mutated Food; Item function: Eating can fill the stomach, relieve illusions, and weakly improve resistance to illusions; Special Achievement: Immunity to illusions for 10 minutes, cannot stack with effects of the same type, and has a small chance to awaken illusions.
Leon took Xiao Huang and continued on the road, the purpose of their trip was the queen ant, so far, the ants have not seen a few.
There was such a monster entrenched in this cave, and there was no trace of ants on the ground, so Leon and the others returned to the previous fork in the road and walked to the other side.
This time, Leon was always focused and on guard. After walking for a long time, he came to a fork in the road, or two intersections, Li Ang didn't think about it and walked directly to the intersection on the left, and after walking for a long time, he finally found the traces of ants in front.
The ant colony was also hostile to Leon's arrival, and rushed up with huge teeth, not only the ground, but also the sides and the top of the cave were full of ants, and Leon was not ambiguous, waving his long knife again and again, leaving a lot of ant fragments on the ground.
Xiao Huang was even more violent, and the flames rose and rushed towards the ant colony. The pitch-black cave suddenly brightened as day, and after a while, black smoke filled the air, and the scorching smell was pungent.
Li Ang held his breath and followed Xiao Huang all the way forward, following the direction where the ants came without stopping, and I don't know how long he ran, a man and a dog ran to a huge underground hall, nearly 10 meters high, the size of a football field, densely packed with big ants, Xiao Huang cleared a large fireball out of an open space.
In the middle of the hall was an ant the size of an ordinary husky, with a bloated, transparent and pale white belly, 3 meters long and 1 meter in diameter. This is undoubtedly the queen ant, the queen's bloated body makes it impossible to move easily, the arrival of Li Ang Xiaohuang makes it very flustered, the tentacles are waving rapidly, the mouthparts are not big, and they are constantly squeaking, the ants will even bark, and Li Ang is also knowledgeable.
With the rapid movement of the queen's antennae, the surrounding ants who were frightened off by the little yellow flames were also restless, and the ant balls rolled towards Leon and Xiao Huang in large clusters.
"Kill!" Leon roared angrily, and rushed towards the queen ant with his knife in hand. Guarding the queen was a group of extraordinarily large ants, the size of an adult cat, with a fiery red shell, teeth that took up almost a third of the length of the body, and spikes, which were not easy to mess with.
Li Ang slashed over, but failed to cut it with a knife, the big red ants continued to besiege and kill Li Ang, and Li Ang also used all his skills, slashing and kicking, and the fight was quite thrilling.
The situation on Xiao Huang's side is very good, the resistance of ordinary big ants to Xiao Huang's flame is almost zero, clumps of ants are burned to ashes, and the entire underground hall is burning with raging fires, and it is only a matter of time before the ant colony is eliminated.
The light of the knife kept flickering, and Li Ang didn't know how many knives he had chopped, the originally sharp blades were full of gaps, and they had all turned into saws, not to mention, the saw cut the tough carapace of the red ants was a little better.
Two-thirds of the red ants were hacked to death, and there were still about 100 of them, Xiao Huang's side was basically finished, and he came to help Li Ang, the flames were scorching, but it had little effect on the red ants, and Xiao Huang could only use the dog's housekeeping skills to bite the mouth! One bite at a time, the efficiency is quite high. Good teeth, good for anything.
Finally, the battle stopped, and the ant colony was almost wiped out, leaving only the queen squeaking in panic.
"I'm sorry, it's all about survival!" Leon said softly. The queen ant slowly quieted down, and the two dark compound eyes looked at Li Ang quietly, slowly losing her voice, and her huge abdomen slowly shrank. The queen chose to destroy herself!
The purpose of the cave was achieved, and he sighed softly.
"Go home!"
