205, ownerless incense
The people of the spiced spicy group couldn't react to the thing on their heads.
Although they even lay down on feces in the simulated battle, in their opinion, the simulated battle is a simulation!
It doesn't matter what happens in the simulated battle, anyway, the state will be refreshed when you leave the battlefield.
But in reality it's different, disgusting is really disgusting.
Ji Ruo ignored them and followed the white devil ants to the nest.
Originally, it was thought that the nest of white devil ants was underground, but in fact, it was indeed underground.
They have hollowed out a hill about 100 meters high, crisscrossed by ant paths, and there is an unknown amount of underground space below the horizon, and the ant colony is extremely large.
The inside of the mountain is like a huge translucent glazed mine, and when you look up, you can even faintly see the white devil ants in the passage above.
There is a small hole at the top, and the moonlight spills in, constantly refracted in the glass crystals, making the whole nest look quite bright.
The white devil ants move through the antway, without interfering with each other, in an orderly manner, like a huge and delicate instrument and its components.
Ji Ruo touched his chin: "This ant nest is really beautiful." ”
Liang Shixian explained: "It is said that a monster like the white devil ant was actually just an ordinary termite thousands of years ago, and it was evolved by the influence of the arrival of the secret realm, and its size skyrocketed and its strength increased greatly.
They still retain most of the habits of millennia-old years, and in order to support their fragile bodies, they have evolved a hard exoskeleton, but they have also gained weight and easily crushed their nests, so the queen ant has allowed some worker ants to evolve a special glandular organ that allows them to secrete a special mucus that crystallizes the soft soil.
Therefore, the appearance of this nest at the moment is not naturally generated. ”
When Ji Ruo heard this, he glanced at Liang Shixian in surprise: "Squad leader, you have a wide range of knowledge!" I think this is knowledge that only gets involved in sophomore years, right? ”
Liang Shixian smiled and said, "As the class leader, I always have to learn more, otherwise when my classmates ask me in the future, I can't answer that it's not a joke?" Also, the Demon Creature and Anatomical Discipline is actually quite interesting. ”
"Squad leader, cow break!"
Ji Ruo gave a thumbs up, and then led the members of the community to follow the white devil ants to the lower level of the nest.
These materials have to be transported to a specific place for storage, and the knowledge of demon creatures is quite good.
He knew that whether it was a white devil ant or any other ant clan, the queen ant was the strongest existence in the entire colony, but most of the time it only existed as a fertility machine.
In general, queens only need to do two things: eat and raw.
All the necessities of life are the responsibility of its descendants.
"Let's be careful."
Ji Ruo suddenly said solemnly: "The villagers we are looking for should be in the place where the white devil ants store their supplies, everyone should pay attention to it when the time comes." ”
In order to make it easier for the queen ant to eat, the place where the white devil ants store their supplies must be very close to the queen ant.
Judging from the scale of this ant nest, the queen ant is estimated to have the strength of three or even four stars!
Similar to the queen ant, a monster with limited mobility, the single combat ability may not be strong, but it can control an entire race, and its spirit is naturally extremely powerful.
To put it simply, the queen ant is very good at mental manipulation and mental attack.
[Camouflage] and [Sense of Being Substituted] are strong, but they are not omnipotent.
For example, when Ji Ruo faced Aunt Jinglan and Mountain Shenmu in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, these two abilities did not have much effect - the low level of the two skills was one thing, and the gap between the strengths could not be ignored.
So be careful.
Everyone nodded solemnly, although they still felt that it was outrageous that they could really get in with the others......
Ji Ruo and the others followed the white devil ant colony downward, and the further down they went, the thicker and stronger the crystallized soil became.
Moreover, because these crystals are coagulated by some kind of bodily fluid secreted by white devil ants, the smell is naturally not very friendly, and Ji Ruo even recalled the picture of stealing the school's septic tank at the beginning.
Ji Ruo muttered in a low voice: "I don't know if Grandpa Mountain Shenmu will accept this thing, take the time to knock a few pieces down and bring them back, and come out without some souvenirs, it's a bit unreasonable......"
"Meow~ (Master, what did you say?) )”
"Nothing."
Meow~ (I heard eating!) What delicious! )”
Ji Ruo: "......"
Walking through the dark crystal wall corridor - the thickness of the surrounding crystal wall is afraid that it has reached seven or eight meters, and this crystal wall contains a lot of impurities, so the light from the outside can hardly be transmitted in.
When I came to the material storage room, there were a lot of glowing stones inside, and the faint blue light was constantly refracted, and it was even brighter than the upper floor.
"It's so pretty."
Ji Ruo quietly picked up a few glow-in-the-dark stones and stuffed them into his pocket: "Let's start, everyone be careful, and if you encounter a situation that needs to be communicated, leave it to me." ”
"Okay."
They gently lowered the rhizomes of the wood or plants with the pretense and began to search.
There are a lot of things in this material storage room, but there are not many things that humans can use - the things collected by white devil ants are naturally only used by white devil ants.
Ji Ruo walked towards the depths alone, and there was a tree trunk on the back of a white devil ant in front of him, which was suspected to be a simple coffin, and he wanted to take a look.
The further he went, the more unpleasant the smell in the air became, and even Rosie was almost fainted, and even Ji Ruo felt a little spicy - his contact lenses did not have the function of isolating the smell.
But even so, Ji Ruo still didn't stop.
After a while, Ji Ruo tiptoed to find the trunk of the suspected coffin.
"Sure enough..."Ji Ruo sighed as he looked at the corpse lying in the hollowed-out trunk that was already showing slight signs of decay.
One of the three villagers who went missing.
This corpse seems to have been painted with delicate makeup on its face, but because it has begun to decay, coupled with the bumps along the way, the makeup on its face has already been spent, and it is not terrifying, but it looks a little disgusting.
The fatal wound was a penetrating wound to the back of the head, and in addition to the multiple damages on his clothes, it is reasonable to assume that there would have been many wounds left on the corpse, but strangely, apart from the penetrating wound on the back of his head, no other wounds were found.
"The body was disposed of?"
Ji Ruo frowned.
The boy circled around the simple coffin, and found a few lines of small characters on the side of the coffin, including the name of the deceased, the date of birth and death, and so on.
"Niu Dabao... Niu Li's father, why didn't the special effects of the red scarf bring him back? ”
At this moment, Niu Li's father had already confirmed his death, but because of this, Ji Ruo was even more confused.
Niu Dabao's heroic spirit, where did he go?
"Hmm~"
Suddenly, a faint white light lit up on Ji Ruo's side.
The white cat was a little dazed.
Ji Ruo was stunned for a moment: "Da Bai? How did you get out? Didn't you say that there was no incense power? ”
The white cat also felt strange, she looked at the deeper part of the cave a little blankly, and said, "I don't know, master... There is like an ownerless incense in there......"
