Chi Yao took out a staff that had been stored in the storage space for a long time, it was the Ice Mirror Staff of Bing Ling, the previous World Contractor.

Ji Yao clenched the staff constructed by ice crystals, and with a thought, he injected 640 mana points, opening the realm of the ice mirror with the maximum strength

In the swamp of fossilized mud, the fiery ants turned on their scorching bodies, heating their carapaces to a temperature of considerable temperature to break free from the mud.

And the Ice Mirror Realm of the highest strength released by Chi Yao using the Ice Mirror Staff, under Chi Yao's meticulous control, the originally circular field was like a fan that erupted, covering all the areas where the blazing ants were located, and the pure white ice mirror spread out to bring a harsh extreme cold to this area.

Under the influence of this "Simple Realm: Ice Mirror Realm", the originally sweltering underground cave turned into a harsh winter of minus twenty or thirty degrees Celsius almost instantly!

The sudden change in the environment, the extreme transformation from scorching heat to severe cold, under the transition of hot and cold, the blazing ants were trapped in place by the solidified soil, and their carapace could not withstand it.

"Click, click, click—"

The crisp cracking sound sounded one after another, like a symphony of continuous sonata.

Fine cracks can be seen emerging on the carapace of the blazing ant's body, and these cracks are still spreading and expanding, almost all over the body.

In the realm of the ice mirror that completely unfolded, a cold wind blew towards the blazing ants who were imprisoned in place, and a trace of frost formed on their bodies.

The bright ice mirror clinged to the fiery ant's body the moment it touched it, and the cold ice power penetrated deep into the carapace along the crack in the carapace, extinguishing their fiery life core, turning them into lifeless ice sculptures.

"Whew-" Chi Yao exhaled, using this domain-type skill to consume a large amount of mana at one time is a big burden on the body, and this is still with the help of the effect of the staff itself.

It can be seen that the original snow-white body of the Ice Mirror Staff has become almost transparent, and the ice energy stored in the staff has been exhausted in the explosion just now, and if you want to use it again, you have to wait for a twenty-day cooldown period.

Tonino Harvey, Johns and the others were dumbfounded and speechless, especially watching Chi Yao solve nearly twenty blazing ants and nearly fifty fiery red ants with a silky combo.

Ji Yao waved his hand to put away the five blue treasure chests and ten green treasure chests that had fallen, and seeing that everyone was still standing in place, he immediately scolded.

"What's the fuss? In such a battle just now, the queen ant must have discovered our location, and it will definitely send troops to rush over. ”

"The nearest team of blazing ants is just a few dozen meters away from us, and we haven't completely broken out of the encirclement yet! Don't hurry up and go! ”

Chi Yao's loud shout made everyone wake up immediately, and quickly kept up with Chi Yao's pace, continued to move forward, and rushed out of the encirclement of the blazing ants.

Tonino Harvey took a few steps, sped up to Ji Yao's side, and asked.

"Second brother, can you still use that freezing move you just now? With this move, we can deal with the queen ant much more certainly! ”

Chi Yao shook his head slightly and said in a low voice, controlling the airflow around him so that Johns and the others could hear it.

"It can't be used, it's a very expensive move."

"It was forced to be used just now in order to break through as soon as possible, and if we are dragged back, it is very likely that we will be surrounded by more than three teams at the same time, and it will be difficult for us to get out at that time."

Tonino Harvey nodded solemnly and replied.

"Okay, second brother, you adjust your state as soon as possible, and leave the difficulties on the road to me to deal with!"

After the two finished talking, Ji Yao looked at the Johns behind him and gave an order.

"Jack, you divide all the explosives on your body, let Johns and them help you get up in the tunnel, and when the flaming ant colony behind you chases you, you can detonate it directly!"

When Jack heard that he could explode, he immediately blinked happily and cheered.

"Haha! Explode! ”

"Yay! Hey, hey, Your Highness, you can leave the matter about the explosion to me! Don't bother Johns about them! ”

"I promise that as soon as those ants pass by, the fuses will detonate immediately!"

I saw Jack take out one strange-shaped explosive after another from his backpack, including square, spherical, pie-shaped, and even triangular!

Jack quickly set the parameters of each explosive and threw it directly into the passage behind him!

Everyone walked all the way, he threw all the way of explosives, the explosives in the backpack ran out, so he took it out of his clothes, the clothes were gone, and there were trouser pockets, there were at least two hundred explosives scattered and scattered, I really don't know how Jack loaded it, Chi Yao even wondered if he was carrying a "storage space" dedicated to explosives.

Jack, who had finished throwing the bomb, looked satisfied, and even had a dead and regretless expression.

After advancing for a few hundred meters, several of the blazing ants encountered on the road were solved by Tonino Harvey, who seemed to have found a trick to accurately strike out the weak frequencies of the blazing ants, causing a concussive effect and then breaking the defense with one blow.

And Chi Yao also sensed that two hundred meters in front of him suddenly opened up, it was a huge underground cavern, and there were a large number of stable structures in the cavity, which were by no means naturally generated, but man-made traces.

Nearly sixty fiery ants and hundreds of fiery red ants were gathering in that hollow, and there was no need to say what it meant that so many fiery ants and fiery red ants lined up in an array to guard the entrance of the cave!

This hollow is where the queen ant is, and it is the center of the nest!

Tonino Harvey, Johns, and the others also saw the huge hole appear at the end of the tunnel, and the dense fire red ants at the entrance of the cave were opening their hideous jaws, waiting for the battle!

Compared to the previous formation, the position of the fiery ants was arranged to the rear, which seemed to be the distant output, and the larger number of fiery ants were arranged to be in the front as cannon fodder.

Looking at the rather staggering number in front of him, Ji Yao's face was a little ugly, he had expected that the queen ant would leave part of the team to protect himself, but the number of guards was still a little beyond Ji Yao's expectations.

The number of guards alone means that the real overall number of ant colonies is more, anyway, the information that Tonino Harvey gave before is only 500 as much as it is!

Ji Yao couldn't help but glance at Tonino Harvey, this guy's misinformation caused him to make a miscalculation.

Tonino Harvey obviously didn't realize this, he just looked at the many fiery ants in front of him with a sad face.

Tonino Harvey looked at Chi Yao and asked.

"Second brother, I didn't expect there to be this amount, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky for us to rush in directly."

Chi Yao held the reverse luck, resisted the rock wall above him, and said indifferently.

"Then we'll take a detour!"

"Round, detour? How to wrap around.!! ”

Tonino Harvey's face was surprised, and before he finished speaking, he found that a passage was quickly opened up on the top of Chi Yao's head, and a few feet were intimately set up on the passage.

"Keep up with me!"

Ji Yao let out a low breath and jumped up, jumping directly into the hollow above his head.

The rest of Tonino Harvey, Johns, and the others looked at each other, but soon the restlessness of the ant colony not far away broke their concerns, and they immediately followed Chi Yao's pace and rushed into the passage overhead.

Chi Yao forcibly carved a passage through the hard soil after being affected by the Yuanyang Stone vein, and led everyone around the side of the hollow to the top.

Tonino Harvey had looked at the path of the crowd with concern, worried that the fiery ants would catch up directly, but they didn't.

Ji Yao understood what Tonino Harvey was worried about, and he spoke.

"Don't worry, they won't catch up, I can roughly guess what means this 'queen' used to detect us, and what to use to command the ant colony."

Tonino Harvey immediately asked.

"What did the queen use?"

Chi Yao waved his reverse luck to remove all the soil in front of him, and the hole just now was revealed in front of everyone's eyes, and Ji Yao led them around in a circle, digging the road from the top of the other direction.

In the hollow, the blazing ants and fiery red ants that had been guarding the entrance of the cave were busy around the center of the cave, and the center was not the huge queen ant who was constantly laying eggs as everyone suspected.

Rather, it was a peculiar triangular pyramid-shaped object, covered with strange lines and even flashing red.

Tonino Harvey and Johns exclaimed.

"This, this is the queen of the flaming ant colony??"

Chi Yao knew that Tonino Harvey and Johns couldn't think of anything, but in Chi Yao's eyes, this triangular pyramid could be described as a signal base station, or a host, and the remaining blazing ants and fire red ants were all child machines, completely controlled by the host!

Chi Yao's conjecture is correct, the fire red ant is an artificially created mining tool, there is no queen ant at all, and some are just the host that controls all the slaves!

The second more.

Well, it's still a little too much to write, and I'll have to end my trip to the mine tomorrow.

Also, the Ice Mirror Staff mentioned in this chapter is not a séance, as it is mentioned in the chapters "Realm" and "Buying a Staff".

It's just that I forgot to write the scarlet card in the previous unboxing link, which was opened in the scarlet card, emmmm, and now it has been made up in "Chapter 74: Energy Master".

The total number of words is almost 5000 a day~~.
