Chapter 14: Visions of the Underground
After Tonino Harvey came to his conclusion, his face was full of confidence, he turned his head to look at Ji Yao and said.
"Second brother, now that we know how to deal with the fire red ants, then without further ado, we must set off immediately, go to the depths, and find the nest of the fire red ants!"
Ji Yao didn't intend to tell the truth like this, so he simply let Tonino Harvey make a mistake first, so he didn't refute it.
"You're right, we need to hurry, then, the rest of the flaming ants will be useless."
Saying that, Chi Yao took a few steps forward and threw the knife in his hand violently, and with the blessing of energy attachment, the knife directly penetrated the head of the fire red ant who was still in a paralyzed state, and the fire red ant suddenly returned to the light and struggled desperately.
And after a while, the fiery ant was settled, and the breath of life had drained from its body.
There is no information about the park, but a green treasure chest appears on the corpse of the fiery ant.
There are no kill prompts, and kills do not reward the Source of the World.
Ji Yao, who had some guesses, asked about the paradise.
[The Hunter is participating in a small special story event (Underground Mystery), and the rewards will be distributed after the event ends.] 】
Looking at the description of the paradise, Chi Yao also understood, "There was no hint for killing underground creatures before, and it was really judged to be a plot event." ’
Ji Yao picked up the treasure chest and put it in the storage space, looked at Johns and the others who had been standing on the side for a long time, and said.
"That's it, the goal now is to find the nest of the fiery red ants, Isley, you know more about the route in the depths of the vein, continue to lead the way."
Babbitt on the side heard that Chi Yao and Tonino Harvey wanted to go deep into the anthill, and his expression couldn't help but stiffen a little, can he determine the weakness of the fire red ant based on the experiment just now?
Babbitt's heart couldn't help but panic, and his face became deeper and deeper, what if the method that Chi Yao and the others groped out didn't work for the other fire red ants?
Isley nodded with a serious expression, took out the map and direction dial drawn by his years of experience in the mines, and walked forward.
"Two highnesses, the next path will be a little bumpy, please be careful."
Seeing that Isley had found the right direction, the rest of the people followed, but the formation changed slightly, Chi Yao followed Isley and was at the forefront of the team, while Tonino Harvey, who had already shown his strength, simply chose to fall at the end of the team, and the rest of Johns's team members were in the middle.
Now, instead it is Ji Yao and Tonino Harvey who are protecting the Johns team and letting the Johns team lead the way.
In this way, the crowd continued to descend deeper, and the surrounding environment became more and more sultry, and some of the soil became red, and a few areas were even red to the point of shining.
These areas of red soil can be found almost everywhere in the intricate tunnels, which means that there is a high-quality sunstone buried beneath the soil, and its fiery properties have gradually affected the surrounding soil through the ore itself.
For Chi Yao and the others, these red soil areas are equivalent to a high-temperature danger area, and the red and shiny soil areas can even be called flame traps.
For the safety of the team, Isley had to choose a tortuous route to avoid these high-temperature danger areas, which greatly slowed down the speed of the group's progress.
But there is also good news, it seems that because of the appearance of the fire red ants, the underground creatures that used to inhabit this place have disappeared, and these underground creatures have been driven out of their territory by the fire red ants.
Chi Yao maintained his perception, and within a radius of two hundred meters, Chi Yao could spot a few sporadic teams of fiery red ants, which were also gloomy, which confirmed Chi Yao's guess.
At present, the mining area at a depth of more than 800 meters belongs to the peripheral area, and the quality of Yuanyang stone can only be regarded as the middle and upper quality between the second and third grades, which is the "defective product" left for the dark fire red ants.
Chi Yao relied on the information he perceived, and constantly guided Isley to fine-tune the route, trying to avoid the place where the fire red ants were, and where he couldn't avoid it, he thundered and directly strangled the dark fire red ants in an instant.
After advancing like this for three hours, Chi Yao and the others reached the demarcation line at a depth of 900, after a day of trekking.
Johns glanced back at his teammates worriedly, their state was not good, the hot and sultry environment under the vein, coupled with the continuous long trek, the members of his team were already tired, and Chi Yao and Tonino Harvey were in a slightly worse state, but they were still in good spirits.
Johns couldn't help but step forward and look at Chi Yao beside him, he coughed lightly and eased his throat, his voice was already a little hoarse.
"Ahem, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, we have been advancing continuously for nearly 7 hours, should we take a break?"
Ji Yao understood that there was no need to squeeze the Johns team to the limit, and now they really needed to rest for a while.
Chi Yao looked around, detected his senses, and quickly found a relatively stable location.
So, Chi Yao stepped forward and stretched out his hand, manipulating the earth element to separate the rock wall in front of him, artificially creating a cave.
At the same time, Chi Yao also tried his best to secretly mobilize the scarce ice element and wind element underground to cool down the inside of the cave.
Ji Yao pointed to the inside of the cave that had opened up and said.
"Then rest for half an hour, and after half an hour, we will continue to set off."
Tonino Xavi frowned slightly, but he didn't object, and it was relatively necessary to adjust the state of the team for half an hour.
After Johns and the others got Chi Yao's approval, they breathed a sigh of relief, entered the cave and sat on the ground, took out dry food and water from their backpacks, and quickly replenished their nutrients.
Jack immediately rushed to the front, he felt a chill, and immediately touched the floor of the cave with some surprise.
"Huh?! It's cold inside and on the ground in this cave! ”
Johns and the others also noticed that the cave that had been opened up seemed to be much cooler, and it should have been done by Chi Yao, but they didn't dare to ask.
Tonino Harvey glanced at Chi Yao curiously, felt the coolness in the cave, and sat down without care, although he didn't have much energy to consume on the road, it was good to rest for a while.
"Second brother, what did you do?"
Ji Yao nodded slightly, without explaining in detail.
"It's a gesture."
Chi Yao waited for everyone to enter the cave, and then closed the door of the cave, leaving only a small hole to ventilate, which was to prevent any fire ants from "getting lost" here and finding them.
——
The other is at a depth of 1,085 meters in the No. 6 vein.
It was a large cavern, and in the center of the cavern was a triangular pointed object covered with strange patterns, glowing crimson in the light of the high-quality covenitrite.
And with this triangular object as the center, the entire cavity is covered with nearly two hundred red-blooded fiery red ants, which are the fiery red ants that are in the active life period of the Ming state! And they are even larger, the carapace on their bodies is more and more hideous, and the flame patterns on the carapace are also lifelike.
These bright red ants are constantly busy, lining up the high-quality coyoshi they have collected one by one and placing them inside the triangular object.
In a short period of time, several cubic meters of ore were sent into it, and the interior of the triangular object seemed to have infinite space, and those who came did not refuse to swallow them one by one, leaving only the dark void at the bottom to swallow up the light of the Yuanyang stone.
Suddenly, the triangular object seemed to have received some signal, and the overall lines lit up instantly, spreading out a circle of invisible ripples from the triangular tip at the top, this ripple seemed to give some order to the busy fire red ants, and suddenly a team of 20 bright fire red ants left the hole, and the direction of progress was the direction where Chi Yao and the others were.
Ahem, one more first.
It's still Kawen, good night readers, let's make up tomorrow when we get up.
