Chapter 20: "Combination Lock"

Tonino Harvey looked in amazement at the triangular pyramidal object in the center of the cavity, which didn't look like a normal creature at all.

Tonino Harvey looked at Chi Yao with a slightly surprised expression, and suddenly panicked in his heart, and couldn't help asking.

"Second brother, what should we do now? That thing is the 'Queen Ant'? ”

"No, is that really a creature??"

Ji Yao put away his surprised expression, paused, and then explained.

"In this way, this triangular pyramid object should be the queen of the ant colony, or the control center, which has been controlling the ant colony with some kind of signal."

"And I only found out after meeting this queen entity, so I tried to add a shield for us when I chose to take a detour."

"The result was that I succeeded, and the flaming ants didn't catch up. We've dug the tunnel now, and the swarm of fire ants hasn't responded. ”

Johns's eyes lit up on the side, and he couldn't help but say.

"Then Your Highness, you mean that we are now invisible beings in their eyes? Shall we just walk in and walk in? ”

Ji Yao waved his hand and spoke.

"It's not as easy as you think, we just disappear in each other's 'radar detections', they can still see us, and the smell will expose us."

Babbitt couldn't help but interject.

"Then now that we've dug a tunnel, won't the fire ants smell us?"

Chi Yao pointed to the air in front of him, where Chi Yao had used the wind element to form a filter, so that the smell of himself and others would not leak out.

"This is the air filter I set up, and I can build only one side next to the rock wall next to the cave, and if I want to dive in, I can only make sure that I am acting secretly."

After speaking, Ji Yao swept the faces of several members of Johns's team, and finally looked at Tonino Harvey, who closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Tonino Harvey thought a lot, he opened his eyes to meet Ji Yao's eyes, took a deep breath and asked.

"Second brother, if you destroy that triangular pyramid, will you be able to solve the crisis of the fire red ants?"

Chi Yao paused for a moment, and said quite sincerely and seriously, he was indeed not 100% sure.

"If you destroy the triangular pyramid, there is about a 60% chance that the ant plague can be solved directly, a 20% probability that the ant plague is out of control, and the remaining 20% I am not sure."

Tonino Harvey is also a decisive person, and when he heard Ji Yao's words, he immediately made up his mind.

"Good! Second brother, since you are more than half sure, then it is up to me and Johns to attract the attention of the flaming ant colony, and you sneak in and find an opportunity to destroy the triangular pyramid! ”

The Johns team and the others did not dare to speak, and acquiesced to Tonino Harvey's arrangement, they were more willing to be bait than to infiltrate the center of the ant colony to destroy the triangular pyramid, and the chances of survival were greater.

Seeing that Tonino Harvey trusted himself so much, although Ji Yao had some doubts in his heart, he still made an expression of "everything is under control" and stretched out his hand to say.

"Then let's go our separate ways, let's go back from the tunnel and make some noise from the entrance just now, and I'll wait here for the right time."

Tonino Harvey nodded, and before leaving, he said one last word, and then left with a few members of Johns' team.

"Second brother, be careful, don't die."

Ji Yao waved his hand and said.

"You too, don't die."

Watching Tonino Harvey and the others disappear at the end of the tunnel, Chi Yao said so, but he was very sure that with Tonino Harvey's strength, he would definitely survive, as for the Johns squad and the others, they could only say that they were resigned to fate.

However, in a way, when Team Johns was selected by Tonino Harvey to be part of Operation Mine, their death was sealed.

Ji Yao took a deep breath and adjusted his state, allowing his spirit to concentrate and cast multiple spells.

"Breathing."

The wind element formed a tiny filter to wrap around the whole body, like a light windbreaker completely blocking the scent of Chi Yao.

"Electromagnetism."

Invisible electric light shone in mid-air, forming a grid-like electromagnetic barrier around Chi Yao, hindering the triangular pyramid's signal detection.

"Light hidden."

The light elements are skillfully arranged, forming a unique reflective structure, gradually fading Chi Yao's figure.

"Simulated earthquake."

Countless earth elements form layers of unique shock-absorbing structures on the soles of Chi Yao's feet, making the movements that Chi Yao can emit infinitely close to the fire ants themselves.

After making all the preparations, Chi Yao communicated with the crow, reminding him to be on standby at the last time he had prepared.

That's right, Crow Crow is Chi Yao's last insurance, and before setting off to Tonino Harvey's palace, Chi Yao released Crow and retrieved the spatial teleportation array disk in the hand of the maid Ellie.

And now the crow is above the No. 6 vein, ready to activate the spatial teleportation array at any time, and pull Chi Yao back from the ground once an unmanageable change occurs.

Ji Yao looked intently at the triangular pyramid in the center of the cave, but fortunately Tonino Harvey didn't let himself wait long.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Boom————

Exactly three minutes later, a series of violent explosions came from the hole in the direction of the original route, and it sounded like the bombs set up by Jack had been detonated in a chain, and these explosions overlapped, and the violent vibrations continued to approach from a distance, until they reached the huge cavity.

The loud noises and vibrations caused by the countless explosions shook the entire cavity, and the man-made stable structures formed in rock continued to shake, and finally gradually stabilized.

At the moment of the explosion, the ant colony in the cavern became agitated, and to Chi Yao's surprise, the host actually sent out almost all the blazing ants and fire red ants, leaving only ten blazing ants to continue working, constantly digging and carrying Yuanyang ore.

This is a great opportunity, Chi Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, according to common sense, the host of mining will not set traps, but this probability is by no means 0%.

Ji Yao looked at the adverse luck in his hand and chuckled.

"Hey, bad luck fanatics, let's take a gamble!"

With that, Chi Yao walked directly to the center of the cave, which was covered with high-quality Yuanyang ore that had been excavated, just like a small sun, emitting light and heat continuously, illuminating the entire cave as bright as day.

The high temperature made the breath filter compiled by Chi Yao fluctuate incessantly, and it maintained dynamic stability under Chi Yao's fine control.

There is a very apt saying, a well-prepared mage is invincible, and a losing mage means that he is not fully prepared!

With the secret spell carefully prepared, Chi Yao avoided the ten fiery ants that had been working hard and came to the front of the triangular pyramid.

There was no feeling outside the hollow, and after approaching, the triangular pyramid nearly ten meters high stood on a square platform, but this platform was covered by soil, and it was impossible to find it if you didn't get close to it.

The entire platform and triangular pyramid were all made of some unknown pale yellow alloy, and the lines on it were still gradually combining and fluctuating, shining with a crimson luster.

Ji Yao did not rashly walk onto the alloy platform, but kept circling and observing, analyzing the lines on it.

The more Chi Yao looked at it, the more he frowned, this pattern seemed too familiar?

'This combination of patterns really feels similar to Demonic Patterns, but it is slightly different, could it be that this pattern is a branch of Demonic Patterns? Or is it a branch of the pattern? ’

Suddenly, Ji Yao discovered the clue, and in the constant change of the triangular pyramid pattern, he discovered the pattern that he had just seen three minutes ago!

Even if the pattern was just a flash, Ji Yao was 100% sure that it was the pattern that the triangular pyramid had already combined.

Ji Yao touched his chin, thoughtfully, there was not much time left for himself, and the time that Tonino Harvey and the others could delay was quite limited.

So, this constantly combinatorial and changing pattern is the meaning of a constantly circulating combination lock, and I need to give the boot code? ’

First update.

I'm very sorry, I can't stay up too late when I take the bus back to my hometown today, so I can only change it.
