The problem that Abin said was also discovered by the hunters who were guarding the window.

The more the chariot advanced, the density of alien beasts became lower and lower.

From the original frequent appearances and group ambushes, to now, it is not possible to meet one for a few minutes.

It's not at all like the density of alien beasts in the old Xiangnan Capital.

Captain Thunder didn't respond to this, but silently moved his gaze to the wandering hunter opposite.

"Because this was once the nest of jade cocoon termites."

Dao Ming Zuoxiu looked straight ahead, and replied lightly:

"Those exotic beasts have been preyed upon by ant colonies, and they are well aware of the dangers of this area, and they hardly move around here."

"That's why I said... The old nest of the ant colony is the safest place in this deserted area. ”

"I see......"

Captain Lei Ming bowed his head slightly and continued to swipe his phone.

Seeing this, the members of the Thundering Squad were silent and watched their respective posts.

Lin Xiao retracted his gaze and continued to brush up on his new skills.

[Stillness-Lv0: XP +8]

[Static Energy -Lv0: XP +9]

As his proficiency increased, the number of particles controlled by Lin Xiao increased, and his experience points became more and more abundant.

……

After 30 minutes.

[Stillness-Lv0: XP +13]

[Static Energy -Lv0: XP +12]

[Static Energy-Lv0 >>> Static Energy-Lv1!] Potential +1]

Adding the newly released potential points to the spirit, the spirit attribute has now reached 38 points.

Lin Xiao felt a significant increase in spiritual strength, and his eyes slowly looked out the window.

Since ten minutes ago, there has not been a single strange beast on the road.

The number of alien beasts in this area is even rarer than the border guarded by the army.

It's hard to believe that this is part of a deserted city.

The prestige of the ant colony is terrifying......

Lin Xiao's eyes drooped slightly, and he quietly looked at the abnormal area on the surface.

Under the crevices of some rocks and ruins, there seem to be dark holes, which should be underground plank roads dug by ant colonies.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, Zuo Xiu shouted.

Squeak squeak...

After Abin stopped the chariot, the lone hunter took off the sword and shield at his waist, stood up, and said:

"The next thing is to move forward from the ant road, and the chariots can't pass."

"yes..."

Captain Lei Ming put away his phone and looked out the window.

"That's it, Sun Ke, Ah Bin, Jiang Jing, and this wounded lady stay."

Lei Ming looked at the Black Lion Captain and Dao Ming Zuoxiu, and discussed:

"We... plus Le Suxin and Lin Xiao, the five of them went down the ant road together. ”

"Yes!" * 5

The members of the Thundering Squad immediately responded.

"I..."

As soon as the one-armed huntress wanted to stand up, she was pressed back to her seat by Jiang Jing.

"You're all injured, and you can't help if you go down, just wait for them to come back!"

Silver shield Jiang Jing tore open a lollipop and stuffed it into the other party's mouth with a smile on his face.

Silk Butterfly Feng Lu couldn't say anything.

Black Lion Liu Kaifeng groaned and said directly:

"I agree with Captain Thunder's arrangement."

"I don't have an opinion here..."Dao Ming Zuoxiu frowned slightly, and asked with some doubts:

"But the ant road is actually not dangerous, why not go down together?"

"Because this chariot needs to be guarded..."Captain Lei Ming pointed to the package behind him, and said with a smile:

"We've collected a lot of exotic beast materials, that's a lot of money, we can't lose it!"

“…… Money doesn't mean much, and there are almost no beasts here. ”

Zuo Xiu shook his head slightly, his eyes were a little disdainful and disappointed, and he seemed to have reacquainted himself with Captain Lei Ming.

"Huh!? You can't say that, it costs a lot of money for me to give a gift to my wife! ”

Captain Thunder immediately argued.

"This kind of materialistic marriage doesn't last long."

Leaving these words, Dao Ming Zuoxiu put the queen's head behind his back and walked directly out of the car.

After listening to the other party's words, Captain Lei Ming stood directly in place.

Immediately, a burst of anger appeared on his face, and he shouted with a red face:

"Yuxin and I really love each other!"

Captain Thunder lifted his tomahawk and chased after him, and his arguing shouts came from outside.

"Sven Boy! My wife is not a material woman! ”

"She'll call me and tell me to eat and rest! I love her for the gift! ”

Captain Black Lion, Lin Xiao and Le Suxin also raised their weapons and kept up with the pace of the two.

……

In a ruin, Dao Ming Zuoxiu casually lifted a broken wall panel, revealing the hole inside.

It is more than a meter wide and nearly 20 meters deep, and it is very dim.

Under the leadership of the lone hunter, Lin Xiao and the others also jumped into the pit one after another and entered the deep ant path.

It was pitch black down there, and there was no light.

Lin Xiao's pupils lit a veil of flames, and his perception was released, and the pitch-black ground became visible.

The ant path below is more than two meters wide and high, and the soil at the edges is hard and smooth, and there is white gelatinous material in some places, which should be the mark left by the jade cocoon termite.

Sometimes there are white jade lumps that are half a meter tall and look like eggs on the ground, which look like the eggs of an ant colony......

Smack!

Lin Xiao chopped an ant egg, revealing the broken and eroded body inside.

"These are dead eggs abandoned by a colony of jade cocoon termites."

The sword at the front, Zuo Xiu, did not look back, and said in a cold tone:

"When an ant colony migrates, it discards eggs that cannot hatch so as not to take up space in a new nest."

"Don't touch the white glue in the passage, it's used by the ant colony to mark the direction, and it is still corrosive."

"This ant colony is really social..."

Captain Thunder rubbed his chin and looked at the white rubber markings with interest.

"Compared to other low-level alien beasts, the intelligence of the ant colony seems to be a little stronger."

"The intellectuality and mind of jade cocoon termites are not even as good as ordinary beasts, and the reason why they are highly social is entirely because there is a queen ant in it."

For his words, Dao Ming Zuoxiu shook his head and corrected:

"The strength of a normal jade cocoon queen is only C-level, but its intelligence can rival it, even surpassing that of B-level alien beasts."

"Not only can it command ant colonies, but it can also teach them hunting and fighting skills."

Dao Ming Zuoxiu stopped, turned to look at everyone, and said in a solemn tone:

"I even suspect that... It understands human intentions, and if the language is spoken, it can even communicate with us. ”

Hearing this, Captain Lei Ming was stunned for a moment, and said with a little surprise:

"It's really highly rated... With such intelligence, it is difficult to meet B-class alien beasts. ”

"This is my guess for two years..."Dao Ming Zuoxiu continued to lead the way, saying:

"Their nests wouldn't be so difficult to track if they weren't smart enough."

……

After hundreds of turns, forks, and transfer plank roads, Lin Xiao and the others finally arrived at a spacious hole.

Stepping inside, what emerges in front of everyone is an unexpected landscape.

Dusty floors, dilapidated walls, broken stone pillars, dirty and broken glass... There's even a rusty roller shutter.

Looking at the people who were a little stunned, Dao Ming Zuo Xiu said lightly:

"There is no doubt that this is the old nest of jade cocoon termites."

"Before the cataclysm, this was supposed to be a giant underground mall, but now it is sealed in ruins, and it can only be accessed through the ant path."

Lin Xiao looked around, there were indeed some broken ant eggs, as well as the fading empty shells of jade cocoon termites.

In many places, the floor is covered with smooth white glue, could it be that the ground collapsed in the past and the ant colony repaired it itself?

With doubts, Lin Xiao looked up at the zenith.

It was a peculiar textured ceiling, and they were gray in color, with rings overlapping like fish scales.

It's not very smooth, there is not too much dust, overlapping and mixed, which makes people look at the secret attack, which is very weird.

Before the catastrophe, was the mall a little unique in terms of aesthetics?

Lin Xiao silently withdrew his gaze and followed the team forward.

Along the way, there are various forms of gates, which are either twisted or broken, and the walls of the inner rooms are incomplete.

It is estimated that the shops in the former mall were crowded by ant colonies.

……

After passing through the corridor of the mall, everyone finally reached the deepest part of the ant nest.

It was a huge cave room.

The zenith is still a gray ring, and the floor below is made of smooth white jade.

Inside the room, there are tables and chairs, bed quilts, sofas, suitcases, erected lamps, paper and pen drafts, and several closed compartment iron doors.

It looked like it was full of life, and Lin Xiao even saw a small generator in the corner.

"This is the queen's nest, and it's also the base of my daily life."

Dao Ming Zuo Xiu sat on the sofa, and a hint of comfort appeared on his face.

Captain Lei Ming looked at the surroundings and said in a teasing tone:

"You also moved a lot of things in, it seems that life in the deserted area is not as boring as I thought."

"After all, I've been living here for a long time..."

Dao Ming Zuo Xiu sighed and shook his head, he pointed to an iron gate inside, and said to the black lion Liu Kaifeng:

"Your teammates are resting in that compartment, go meet them."

"Okay!"

Liu Kaifeng was just about to step forward, but the sudden change made his figure stagnate.

Whew——!

"Captain Thunder..."

Dao Ming Zuo Xiu raised his eyes slightly, looked at the sharp battle axe in front of his skull, and said in a cold tone:

"What do you mean by that?"
