Chapter 41: Tearful Mother's Essence!
Woohoo!
The flying ants heard Lin Chen's instructions, and kept searching around the circular sand with a diameter of 50 cm in the sand.
Convey everything they see to Lin Chen.
"Strange... Nothing?"
Lin Chen felt weird, the huge sand was empty.
"Even the eggs from last time are gone..."
A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
Could it be that the hatching was successful?
"No, it's only been a few days, and it's still a while before the eggs hatch. â
He was a little confused.
"Little Er, you look to the left, Little San, you go to the right. â
Lin Chen ordered.
The only thing that is certain is that there are no other creatures in the sand except for the queen ant, so he can safely let the two flying ants search at will.
Woohoo!
Not much.
The two flying ants made strange noises, and although they didn't find anything, they all gathered in the center of the sand.
"Is there really anything left?"
Lin Chen smiled bitterly.
I thought I could find something in the sand, but now it seems that I am thinking too much.
"What are you doing standing there, hurry up... Isn't there something down here?"
When Lin Chen saw the strange behavior of the flying ants, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked. But this question instantly aroused his curiosity.
Flying ants are usually very sensitive to abnormal fluctuations, but this time, after they went around in a circle, they did not return to Lin Chen's side, but came to the center of the sandy land.
"It's weird!"
Lin Chen was very sensitive, and his reaction was also very fast, controlling the vines to keep moving forward.
Perhaps, this is the opportunity!
"Hopefully I'm not suspicious. â
The vines continued to stretch until they soon reached the center of the sand, where he found that the sand was softer than the others.
"It's soft sand. â
Lin Chen could sense the difference in the sand through the vines.
"There's nothing up there....is it down there?"
Since there is nothing unusual on the surface, there is only the bottom of the sand!
He quickly found a breaking point.
"You two get out of the way. â
Woohoo.
The flying ants quickly crawled away in both directions.
"Hmm... The sand in this area will be softer, try it!"
Lin Chen no longer hesitated, controlled the vines, and opened the hard-to-stun talent. Keep poking into the heart of the sand.
The sand is as soft as cotton, and it is easily penetrated deep by the slender rhizomes, without hindrance. Unlike some mud floors, which are too hard and too thick to go deep.
"Huh?"
Lin Chen erupted with a sigh
Because he continued to go deeper, under the perception of the vines, he could perceive that the sand around him was flowing slightly, like liquid.
Quicksand!
A word instantly popped into Lin Chen's mind!
"Is there really something under the sand?"
He sensed something was wrong.
This feeling is like accidentally opening a hidden path in the process of treasure hunting.
The point is, he doesn't know where this trail leads...
Maybe it's a treasure place where treasure is buried, or maybe it's a dangerous place where danger lurks.
Nervous and excited!
The deeper the vines went, the more he could feel the sand flow more violently, and he knew that he was one step closer to the area below!
At this moment, Lin Chen stopped.
He hesitated.
"What should I do, do I want to continue?"
Ahead is everything unknown, waiting for yourself, maybe a big opportunity, maybe a big crisis!
He glanced back, and the distance of the vines was almost at the end.
"My core is the Four Vine Tree, and as long as the Four Vine Tree does not perish, I will not die. Even if there is a sudden crisis, I can quickly abandon the vine part, so it is relatively safe. â
Lin Chen kept thinking.
"But to be on the safe side, let the worm servants return to the surface first. â
Losing a worm servant is a great loss to yourself.
Besides, if you really encounter a crisis, you cut off the vines yourself, and the insect servants follow you down, and you will also die.
Rather than that, it's better to let them go back first.
Not much.
Everything is ready to go.
"No worries, go ahead!"
Lin Chen adjusted his mentality, and a wonderful feeling rippled in his heart.
It seems that the more dangerous the ahead, the more excited he becomes...
Because, the more dangerous the place, the greater the opportunity!
The vines that had been parked in the sand dived in again.
At the moment when he just controlled the vines and dived, he only heard the sound of "boom!", and this central area collapsed instantly!
The soft sand above was all pressed down at once, covering the body of the vines.
It's like opening a path.
"This, this..."
Lin Chen was momentarily stunned.
As he looked around, his horror intensified.
"It turns out that under the sand, there really is a secret passage!!"
He exclaimed.
Presumably, the quicksand and landslide just now are all because there is a hollow secret tunnel under the sand!
It's just that this dark passage is very small, extremely narrow all around, and the whole is arc-shaped, like a tunnel, and the distance between the two sides of the tunnel is about 5cm.
"There is light!!"
Lin Chen was surprised to find that in this small tunnel, there was a yellow light, which was very weird, and through the faint light, he could see that the inside of the tunnel was made of sand and stones.
These are not the work of antbeasts, but rather the work of nature.
Lin Chen did not hesitate and went to find the light.
10cmīŧ20cm
Following the light source, the vines approached little by little.
He pondered the origin of the light source, and suddenly, he also thought of the glowing stone deep underground.
"Is this the same as the stone in the ground?"
Lin Chen guessed.
There was silence all around.
Rushing!
"See!"
As the vines deepened, he finally saw the light source.
"Sure enough, it's really exactly the same as the stone in the ground!"
Lin Chen froze in place.
When he got closer, he took a closer look. I didn't see it clearly last time, so I'll look at it more carefully this time.
It was found that the stone was only half the size of a fist, and there were many facets on it, with sharp edges and corners, and the texture was very hard, so it was embedded in the sand.
It looks like this stone has been here for a long time.
"There is no symbol on the inside..."
"System, what is the origin of this stone?"
Lin Chen asked.
At this time, I'm afraid only the system can help him.
[Tear Mother Sperm Fragment!]
A curtain of light appears.
"Tear Mother Essence?"
When Lin Chen saw the light curtain, he was quite puzzled, he had never heard of it.
The name is too weird.
"What is Tear Mother?"
ã.. ã
The system is not responding.
"And it's just a fragment, what's the use?"
Lin Chen was a little disappointed.
He had expected to get his hands on the remains of some powerful creature.
Now this thing, I don't even know where it came from.
And it's still a fragment.
[Devouring tear mother essence can greatly increase evolution points!]
And when the light curtain came out, Lin Chen's mood changed, and he was not calm at all.
