The queen ant did not answer Jiajing directly, but turned her head to look at the ant colony outside, and after a while, she turned back to look at Jiajing, and then formed such a picture in Jiajing's heart:

When a sturdy black iron ant was digging ore veins, he found a magic vine of unknown age in an underground cave, and the magic vine branches were wrapped around a glowing giant mine, and the glowing things were necessary for the ant tribe to reproduce, so the black iron ant immediately attracted a large group of giant ants, and the magic vine started a fierce battle, and finally devoured the magic vine and the giant ore that emitted colorful light.

Thousands of black iron ants have a digestive function similar to that of the red-eyed griffon, expelling a lump of stone powder shortly after they devoured the colored ore. The residual metal could not be digested and absorbed by them, and they spit it out again after a few days, and then some of the black iron ants continued to devour this part of the residual metal and stone powder, and so on five or six times, and the purity of the metal became higher and higher after many purification procedures, until the remaining fifty or sixty black iron ants could no longer spit out the metal particles that had accumulated and become larger, so they had to wait for death without delay, and when their bodies were corrupted after death, other black iron ants got these brilliant metal particles.

Jiajing also saw in the picture that the black iron ant that devoured the metal particles at the end not only did not die, but mutated, its body turned into a dark gold, and its body size was much larger than the ordinary black iron ant, as if it was the golden flying ant king that annoyed him before!

These metal particles were originally obtained by those black iron ants through sacrificing themselves, and each metal particle represents the life of a black iron ant and the sweat of many black iron ants.

Seeing this picture, Jiajing couldn't help but feel a little grateful for the selflessness of the giant ants, and for the continuation of the group, he did not hesitate to pay the price of his life.

The queen ant had not yet been born when they made these living metals, but the knowledge of the ant colony was shared, that is, any giant ant was a nerve cell of the colony, and the queen ant could find this part of the memory from the consciousness of the golden flying ant king and use it for her own use.

The speculation finally has a positive answer, nine out of ten of these metals are life metals, these ores are buried in karst caves thousands of meters underground, the number is scarce, no wonder the people of the Western Regions Continent can not find this precious metal.

At Jiajing's request, the ant colony quickly singled out the metal balls of life one by one, and Jiajing counted them, a total of forty-eight.

There are more than fifty of them in the picture presented by the queen ant through spiritual communication, but after so much time, it is normal to lose a few.

These life metal balls are basically the size of a thumb, heavy to start, heavier than the mass of dark iron, the density is about three or four times that of ordinary refined iron, each is about 60 grams, a total of about three catties.

Hua Lei once said that one pound of life metal can make a portal, and if it is a two-way teleportation, two pounds of life metal must be consumed.

The amount here is enough to make two spatial portals, and if it is used to make spatial rings, you can create about sixty pieces.

The red-eyed griffin was already salivating when it saw these metals, but it had no choice but to stare at the Golden Flying Ant King, lest it raid Jiajing, so it forcibly endured it.

When the black iron ant separated the life metal, the red-eyed griffin finally couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately flew over with the Storm Bear brothers, and the eagle poked in front of Jiajing, a pair of red eyes flashed brightly, and said in a low and expectant voice: "What a beautiful metal, boss, give me a taste!"

The Black Iron Ant can directly evolve into the Super Warcraft Golden Flying Ant King through life metals, and I don't know what will happen to the red-eyed griffin if it eats these life metals.

Although Jiajing was looking forward to it, he was still reluctant to waste the rare life metal in this world in the bottomless belly of the red-eyed griffin.

Seeing the red-eyed griffin's expectant eyes, he was a little embarrassed to treat this partner who was born and died with him, so he reluctantly picked out five small ones from the forty-eight life metals.

The rest was put into the space ring by his neat movements, then closed his eyes tightly, spread his hand to the corner of the red-eyed griffin's mouth, and reluctantly said, "Come on!"

When he said this, his heart bleed. These few life metals can make several storage rings, even if it is 100 million, it must be worth hundreds of millions, and it is not worth so much money if you sell Badaling!

The red-eyed griffin didn't think about the value of life metal at all, and the red tongue gently circled Jiajing's palm, and swallowed the entire Badaling into its stomach.

Secretly glancing at the red-eyed griffin licking the corners of his mouth after eating, Jiajing really wanted to die.

However, he still pretended to be calm and turned around, and after handing over the magic craft lamp to the queen ant, Jiajing planned to go back and bring it more magic lamps, but was stopped by the queen ant, and the original passage back and forth had already collapsed and was impassable.

The queen said that it would not take them a few days to dig a new exit from the rock layer near the loose soil, but Jiajing considered that if Yanmei mistakenly thought that something had happened to her, she would definitely send more warriors down to find her.

Although the ant colony will not attack them again, it is easy for accidents to happen if they dig into the blown mud layer.

Jiajing, who was extremely frightened, hurriedly asked the queen if there was any other way to leave the anthill palace.

At the end of another passage presented by the queen ant for Jiajing, a faint silver light can be seen, although I don't know where it leads, but no matter how big the anthill is, it will not be far from Badaling, and the big deal is to wait until you go out and then look back in the direction of Badaling.

Jiajing immediately followed the two giant flying ants sent by the queen ant and quickly left the huge anthill along another passage.

The queen ant was escorted by the black iron ants and returned to her original palace nest. Now that its feud with Jiajing had been resolved peacefully, there was no need to flee the vast kingdom that had been in operation for thousands of years.

After taking a few underground mushrooms, the yellow liquid from the neck wound has stopped, and the wound has begun to heal slowly.

Jiajing and the others rode red-eyed griffins, followed the two giant flying ants, and quickly flew towards the outside of the cave.

I don't know if it's psychological, Jiajing sat on the back of the red-eyed griffin this time, and always felt that something was a little different. But what's different, and I can't seem to say why, but I vaguely feel that the red-eyed griffin's original hard metal scale armor seems to have become flexible, the upper body of the eagle part and the black feathers, the lower body of the lion part is very close to the dragon's skin, full of elasticity, sitting is not like before.

The speed of the giant flying ant was not slow at all, it was very familiar with the intricate passages, and in less than ten minutes, it flew several kilometers in circles, bringing Jiajing and them to a very spacious cave entrance.

The hole was exactly the same as the one telepathically presented by the queen ant, but it was a little dark outside, and a silvery-white glow with a faint red glow shone from below.

Jiajing, who flew out of the cave on a red-eyed griffin, realized in a trance that he was afraid that he had run to the wrong place!

The two giant flying ants didn't know what Jiajing was thinking, they just nodded at Jiajing's black and shiny skull, flapped their wings, and flew back into the cave.

Jiajing looked left and right in wonder: It's really a god, how can there be such a place near Badaling?

Jiajing couldn't help but clench his fists with both hands, brace his cheeks in contemplation, and then looked back at the dark hole, the anthill hole opened in the middle of this underground cliff, the cliff was straight and steep, looking down, but vaguely saw that there seemed to be something below that continued to emit silver-white light, and the distance was about five or six thousand meters.

Looking up, the imaginary blue sky and stars did not appear, but a large area of black oppression.

Apparently, he was taken to a much larger underground cavern!

The stalactites hanging from the roof of the cave shimmered strangely in the silver light below.

"Boss, why doesn't this place look like our Badaling!" Punavi scratched his head in confusion behind him.

Jiajing also smiled bitterly: "Yes, I'm afraid we have broken into the underground world." ”

The "?!! of the Underworld" were all dumbfounded.

Most of the creatures on the ground have forgotten that there is a mysterious underground world in the Western Regions Continent. Only the poems handed down from generation to generation by troubadours still record the ancient stories of the invasion of the underground beasts, and from time to time warn the world of the real existence of the underground world, most people do not take this seriously, but treat it as a myth.

There is a green dwarf named Kebosen in Badaling, who can be called an outlier among the green dwarves, dreaming of becoming a troubadour who travels around the world and is unrestrained, and often sings all kinds of rumors and deeds and ancient stories of the Western Regions in the tavern and open-air gathering square in Badaling.

The crust near Badaling is shallow, but Jiajing never thought that he just went straight down the anthill, but unknowingly passed through the crust and broke into the underground world.

The core of the giant ant nest is inside this cliff.

Now that he can't find the north when he turns back, Jiajing is still quite curious about this underground world that he broke into in a daze, thinking that with his current realm, no matter which plane he goes to, it will be difficult to find people or beasts that can harm him. In addition, it will take several days for the queen ant to dig through the collapsed passage, so why not visit this mysterious underground world by the way.

However, Jiajing was afraid that he would not be too far away from the entrance of the cave and could not find his way back to the lair, so he inserted a magic spotlight next to the entrance of the cave as a marker, and rode down the cliff and rode a red-eyed griffin to circle down and quietly descend to the ground.

The actual distance between the entrance of the cave and the ground is a bit different from Jiajing's estimate, it has already exceeded the height of eight thousand meters, and when it was close to the ground, Jiajing found that those things that emitted silver-white light were actually strange plants that were thirty or forty meters high!
