Chapter 390: Restoration

Lin Ye felt a chill coming from behind him, and his innate instinct reminded Lin Ye that there was a danger constantly approaching him in the rear.

Without the protection of purple qi, if Lin Ye faced these one-person-tall worker ants again, the chances of victory were very slim.

At the same time as a chill came from his back, the ground under Lin Ye's feet suddenly sank, bringing Lin Ye into an empty underground tunnel.

Lin Ye touched his head that was hurt and stood up in the passage.

This is an underground ant path dug by the worker ants, extending in all directions, crisscrossing and criss-crossing, and Lin Ye is in one of the ant paths where the worker ants go out to forage. Because the antway collapsed, there will be worker ants to repair it after a while.

Lin Ye raised his head and looked at the hollow above his head, he was more than five meters high from the hollow on the surface, if it weren't for the soft soil of the ant road, I am afraid that he would fall directly and break his bones when he fell into the ant road.

Through the hollow you can see the treetops of a large plane tree, its yellow-green leaves swaying at the top, and out of it crawls a red flying squirrel. The flying squirrel held a small metal ball in its hand, and it held the ball with its sharp teeth and gnawed at it, as if it were blocking some kind of hard-shelled fruit.

It is the system ball. Lin Ye's eyes lit up, but then he became worried again. In the Nether Realm, Lin Ye could jump out of the void and come to the surface with just one easy jump, but in the Sublimation Realm, now this five-meter-high distance was like a moat in front of Lin Ye, and Lin Ye couldn't go up at all.

Lin Ye was in the middle of the ant road, with no head in front and no tail in the back, the soil under his feet was muddy and damp, and he didn't know which side would be the exit. Worker ants may appear at the front and back ends at any time, and at that time, Lin Ye will not be able to run if he wants to.

Lin Ye was in a hurry, and immediately ripped off a feather from the thin feather coat on his body. The feather fell in the air and landed on Lin Ye's right hand. Excluding the interference of the air flow in the hollow overhead, Lin Ye quickly determined that the air flow came from the ant tunnel on his left.

It looks like the exit is on the left-hand side.

Lin Ye took a deep breath and hurriedly rushed towards the exit.

But at this moment, the worker ants with the fragments of the corpse were entering the anthill along the exit of the ant path. Lin Ye, who felt a faint vibration from the ground, finally understood what the vibration represented this time.

Lin Ye's footsteps paused for a moment, and then immediately turned around and ran in the opposite direction.

There will be an emergency antway at intervals in the antway to deal with the situation where workers come from both ends at the same time.

Lin Ye jumped into an emergency ant path next to him.

The worker ants behind him walked majestically through the ant path, and the vibrations created by the neat footsteps on the ground made Lin Ye feel a little out of breath. A worker ant stretched out its tentacles, and the two tentacles seemed to feel Lin Ye's breath and fiddled in the direction where Lin Ye was.

Lin Ye immediately held his breath, and the worker ant finally gave up its intention to find Lin Ye, and it turned around and walked towards the food pantry. When this worker ant was closest to Lin Ye, it was only less than five meters away. After the worker ants walked away, Lin Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

Unconsciously, Lin Ye was forced by the worker ants to come deeper into the nest.

As soon as the worker ants in front of them walked away, the worker ants in the back followed one after another, as if they would never finish. These worker ants who are looking for food outside have been using this ant path, and as long as Lin Ye walks in the direction of the exit, he will definitely encounter worker ants.

After just five minutes, a few maintenance ants had completed the repair of Lin Ye's empty ant path, and there was not even a crack left. There was hardly any light in the antway, it was dim and damp.

Lin Ye lost the night vision given to him by the system, his eyes were black, and he couldn't see anything as long as it was ten meters away.

At present, Lin Ye can only follow the direction of the worker ants and walk towards the depths of the nest. The nest isn't just about this one path. As long as you find other exits, Lin Ye can go out.

Holding their breath, the residual smell of rotting plants lingers in the tunnels1, almost dissipating.

Lin Ye walked slowly, and a pale white light and shadow appeared in front of him in the fork in the ant road. It is a floating fluorescent creature with a bowl-sized glowing wing membrane and roots like roots floating in the air, absorbing the floats in the air.

Lin Ye grabbed the fluorescent creature and used it as a moving torch to illuminate the darkness. The smell of decay in front of us is getting worse, and the temperature in the antway is getting hotter.

A worker ant walked over the head of Lin Ye's hideout, an ant standing guard, and like other standing ants, it was responsible for guarding the exit of each ant path. Prevent thieves and robbers from stealing or looting their food.

Lin Ye's stomach was hungry, so he took advantage of the fact that none of the worker ants were paying attention and slipped into the storage room behind the worker ants. There are a large number of dead insect carcasses and fruits of various plants. Some of the fruit had rotted and white hairs as thick as human wrists had grown on them.

But these are not the point, the hungry Lin Ye does not refuse, and they can easily enter the stomach. With the light of the fluorescent creature, Lin Ye saw something that shocked him.

This is a human corpse!

Lin Ye saw a human arm in the abundance of food. This can't be wrong, it's a human arm! Lin Ye found a ring from his arm. The ring was very heavy, and on the outer ring of the ring was engraved a line of symbols, which were blurred and unrecognizable.

Judging by the freshness of the corpse, the corpse had been dead for almost three days. Lin Ye endured the stench of his arm and rummaged for more things, hoping to find something that would prove the identity of the arm's owner.

In addition to his arm, Lin Ye also found a pistol full of sci-fi shapes. This pistol is powered by a natural stone, but the natural stone is ineffective in the sublimation realm. It seems that the owner of the arm is from the Nether Realm like Lin Ye, and it should be a spiritual powerhouse from a low-level sci-fi civilization.

The pistol powered by the breath of nature completely failed in the Sublimation Realm, and this Scattered Spirit powerhouse in the Nether Realm lost all abilities like Lin Ye after entering the Sublimation Realm.

It seems that he is not so miserable alone.

I didn't expect that there was really a strong person in the Scattered Spirit Period who couldn't kill an ant. Thinking of this, Lin Ye couldn't help but want to open his mouth and laugh. But all I thought of was fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter, so I stopped laughing. It's not a miserable game.

After confirming the identity of the owner, Lin Ye threw away the useless technology pistol, and then found an apple the size of a human head from the side, and ate it in a big gulp, regardless of the foul smell around him.

The energy contained in the apple was really huge, and just by taking a bite, Lin Ye felt that he had eaten enough. Things in the sublimation world are just different.

The shrunken purple qi in the palm of his hand seemed to be a little more inflated than before, and at this rate, it would be able to return to a usable level in the past day.

Lin Ye, who was staying underground, suddenly heard a terrible howl coming from overhead, and this howl came so suddenly that Lin Ye jumped on the spot in fright.

It's like a baby's cry, or a ghost's roar, or a muffled cry of pain.

It's night. There was not a single star in the dark sky, and there was no moon.

On the surface of Lin Ye, there were countless miserable white soul bodies drifting aimlessly, and from time to time they let out the howls that Lin Ye had heard before, venting their unknown pain.

Homeless, unable to dissipate, he can only vent his inner pain and anger, dragging all the creatures in his path into the same situation as himself.

The screams above his head made Lin Ye's scalp tingle for a while, and the noise between his ears became louder and louder.

The worker ants in the nest are asleep, not responding to the howl of the outside world, they have long been accustomed to it.

It looks like I'm going to spend the night in the nest. Lin Yepan sat in a corner of the pantry, holding his breath and concentrating all his attention, trying to reactivate the spiritual power in his body.

There was a chilling sensation at his feet, the bodily fluids left behind by the dead corpses on the ground

A white ghost suddenly appeared from the top of Lin Ye's head, its hollow eyes emerged from the thick ceiling, and it stretched out its slender white arms and rushed towards Lin Ye.

The purple qi in Lin Ye's palm suddenly turned into a shield at this moment, blocking Lin Ye's back. The ghost screamed, and its arm was directly bounced away by the purple qi.

"Huh?" Lin Ye opened his eyes and raised his head, but he didn't see anything.

Looking down, Ziqi was lying quietly in the palm of his hand, still looking a little sluggish.

"Was what just happened an illusion?" Lin Ye touched his cheek, then stood up and went to find another safer place.

As soon as the morning dawned, a large number of worker ants set out from the nest and went around to look for food, and Lin Ye followed the last worker ant far away and left the cave smoothly.

I don't know where the system ball that was hanging from the tree was taken by the flying squirrel, but the only thing that can be confirmed is that the flying squirrel didn't go far. The system ball, which is controlled by the flying squirrel, leaves a clue in the tree.

Lin Ye took a piece of bark that had been peeled off the branch and fell into deep thought. The text written on this piece of bark is Chinese characters, which must have been left by the system ball.

"Nearby ......"

This tip is really concise, and the flying squirrel's nest must be running around here.

Looking around at the plane trees, the reddish-brown foliage is very dense, blocking the view of the forest night. Remembering how the flying squirrel had grabbed the system ball, Lin Ye picked up a round stone from the ground and threw it towards the sky.
