Chapter Twenty-Four: Connected Ant Mountain, Circular Sand!
Or..
Let Xiaobai kill flying ants?
Lin Chen shook his head quickly and directly rejected the idea.
Don't look at the low intelligence of these flying ants, but once you attack and instantly provoke them, they will also bite you in turn!
He seemed to have been able to foresee the scene of Xiaobai being bitten to death by this group of flying ants.
"It doesn't work, it doesn't work..."
Lin Chen sighed, bitter in his heart,
"It looks like I have to give up.."
No way!
Because he entered the tenth ant hill not to take risks, but to die!
No doubt!
If the strength is not enough, it is better not to be too aggressive.
"Forget it, let's take this big worm first..."
Lin Chen looked at the dead insect in front of him, and his expression eased slightly.
Especially when he saw the large number of biological remains in the storage bar, he couldn't hold back the ecstasy in his heart!
Quite fruitful!
"This time, we have obtained several complete wrecks!!"
Lin Chen was quite excited.
Manipulating the vines to slowly approach, he came to the body of the big insect.
"Close!"
With a low snort.
Wow!
In an instant, the figure of the big insect disappeared into the ninth ant hill at once!
"It's huge!"
Lin Chen couldn't help but marvel.
This wreck alone is almost as fast as 45% of the rest of the creature scavenged.
"With such a high degree of restoration, there should be a high probability of getting fragments, right?"
Thinking of this, the corners of Lin Chen's mouth lifted a trace of arc,
"As long as it's not genetic, anything else is fine..."
But at the moment when the big insect disappeared, it was like a boulder in the mountain road that had been cleared. The road ahead became clear, even if Lin Chen couldn't see it, he could feel the emptiness ahead!
"Go check it out.."
Lin Chen controlled the vines and slowly stepped forward.
The specific location of the big insect is about 230cm in the ninth ant hill, and after the structure of the first eight ant hills, the general length is probably between 270cm and 310cm, and the longest belongs to the fifth ant hill, reaching 310cm.
Rushing.
The vines sneak very slowly, and their movements are very small, for fear of alarming unknown creatures.
"No, it's better to ask Xiaobai to come back, even if there is only 1cm in front, it's not safe for me to go there so rashly. ”
Lin Chen was very cautious, everything was cautious. Only with such caution can he avoid most of the crises and lurking.
"Xiaobai, come to me!"
Lin Chen ordered.
Xiaobai, who had already infiltrated the middle of the tenth ant mountain, struggled to quickly withdraw from the middle after hearing the order, and encountered many flying ants along the way.
This group of flying ants, densely packed like locusts, blocked the way, and Xiaobai had to use his body to push them away.
Lin Chen was not in a hurry, but waited patiently, using his vine perception ability to constantly perceive the surrounding environment.
Not much.
Woohoo!
The flying ants came to the perimeter of the vine, rubbed obediently, folded their wings, and circled around the vine, revealing their flattery.
Seeing this scene, Lin Chen couldn't help but smile.
"Alright, you go to the front and help me find the way, and I'll follow you. ”
Lin Chen ordered.
Being behind the flying ant can also ensure its life safety, and in the event of any crisis, the vitality can be sent into the latter's body in time.
Flying ants keep sneaking in.
Depth 250cm
Through the images transmitted by the flying ants, Lin Chen saw that the surroundings were empty, very clean, and there was nothing unusual. Nor is there any crisis.
Obviously, he was too careful before.
However, in this environment, you can't be too careful.
Depth 260cm
"Strange things, strange things..."
Lin Chen frowned, feeling a little strange.
This anthill is even bigger than he imagined, and now he has entered 260cm, but there is nothing else except the previous 3 obsidian ants and the big worm.
He looked at the length of his vine, because this time he went underground, he chose the shortest path, so the length was quite sufficient.
"Go on, I'm going to see what's in here. ”
For the ninth ant mountain, his heart is still full of curiosity.
A place where a large number of biological remains are placed, a garbage dump for antbeasts, and an absolute treasure spot for themselves!
So he's looking forward to what the second half of the ninth anthill will be?
Is it a large amount of wreckage, or something else ..
Now he is like a treasure hunt in a dark room, and everything in front of him is unknown...
Mysterious!
This feeling, tense and exciting!
......
Rushing.
The vines keep moving forward.
Depth 270cm
Now he has entered the 270cm area of Ant Mountain.
"The longest anthill is only 310cm, and it's almost 40cm, so there's nothing left. ”
Lin Chen was a little disappointed.
This section of the road is clean, no secretions, no signs of life, no wreckage...
Especially this time, after observing the entire anthill up close, I found many suspicious points.
But maybe it's because I'm using human thinking to speculate about ant beasts, so I think these are suspicious points.
Depth 280cm
This section of the road is not straight, but curved, extending in a certain direction.
"Wait, this direction is..."
Lin Chen's brows tightened.
He remembered this direction, and he was somewhat impressed by the images sent back by the flying ants. If I'm not mistaken, this direction should be the direction of the tenth ant mountain!
He didn't understand, the second half of the ninth anthill pointed to the tenth anthill?
Could it be...
Connected!!
Suddenly, a thought flashed through him, and he was thrilled!
"Damn, the ninth ant hill and the tenth ant hill are actually interconnected?"
This crazy conjecture rippled in Lin Chen's heart.
And as the vines continued to move forward, the uneasy emotions in his heart became more and more intense.
Airplanes!
That's when it happened.
He seemed to hear the sound of a colony of flying ants flapping its wings, constantly coming from the inner wall on the right.
"It's really interconnected... Then I'm going to keep going now, won't I reach the interior of the tenth anthill?"
See light at the end of the tunnel!
He didn't expect that he just changed his way and slowly approached the interior of the tenth ant mountain!
Depth 290cm
300cm
"Still nothing..."
"Oh no, the length of the vine is almost running out!"
Lin Chen's disappointment became even more intense.
At this moment, from the image transmitted by the flying ants, it can be clearly seen that in front of him, there is an open area.
There is no end in sight.
It's no wonder, after all, the latter's eyesight is only 20cm.
He wouldn't know that in front of him was a round sandy area, about 80cm in diameter!
This semi-circular piece of sand connects the two entrances.
The ninth anthill and the tenth anthill.
This place is like the junction of two ant mountains. Whether it is the humidity of the air or the surrounding temperature, it must be different from the outside world.
"What an open area..."
Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect that there was still such a place in the anthill. The ensuing buzz became clearer and clearer.
It's like hundreds of flies in your ears. But these are not flies, but flying ants with terrifying combat effectiveness, which can't help but make people's scalps tingle.
"Xiaobai, go and see what's in the sand. ”
Lin Chen didn't dare to act rashly at this moment, and ordered.
