Chapter 265: Lost

The volley slowed down, and the three of them landed lightly at the entrance of the cave.

In an instant, the phantom insects around the entrance of the cave were all erected, and one by one, the strange one-eyed eyes stared at the place where the three of them landed, and they were obviously aware of something.

The Phantom Worm was only as lethal to monks as them, but it still made their heartstrings tense.

Yan Ying raised her hand to signal quiet, and the three of them froze slightly in place, not making any movement for the time being.

Seeing that the corpse had been dragged in, Yan Ying waved her hand to go again, ignoring those phantom insects, she floated up and floated towards the cave.

Lin Yuan and Luo Kangan immediately followed suit, and floated away, not daring to leave her too far.

Looking back again, when the three of them got up, the movement of the ground under their feet was already attracting several phantom insects to crawl quickly, quickly shuttle in circles, and found nothing, so they had to lazily relax and do it.

Seeing that the situation was stable, Luo Kangan breathed a sigh of relief.

The three of them landed in the cave, the space in the cave was not large, and Yan Ying's height was more suitable when they entered, but Luo Kangan and Lin Yuan had to bow slightly.

Yan Ying had already lightly followed the tugging of a group of phantom insects in front of her, and the two people behind immediately followed her, bending a little forward, sometimes encountering phantom insects hanging upside down on the top of the cave, and the three of them had to move sideways to avoid it.

The smell in the cave is not very good, a sour smell, the deeper you go, the thicker it becomes, and the darker and darker it gets, and gradually the light is gone.

At this time, Lin Yuan and Luo Kangan realized more and more the benefits of the black and white fruit, in an environment where there was no light, it was difficult for the magic eye to see clearly, the function of this black and white fruit for night vision really played a miraculous effect, no wonder Yan Ying had to go to the Phantom God Palace before.

If you don't enter the Illusory God Palace to find the black and white fruit, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome in this place, and if you hit the light, it will definitely attract an attack.

I don't know how this passage was dug, it was zigzag, and the general trend was to go down more and more, and a group of phantom insects in the steep place actually dragged the corpse directly down.

When encountering a slightly blocked lot, the corpse could not be dragged over, and immediately a phantom insect opened its fangs and clicked and bited, and quickly opened the passage with its fangs.

With the movement of the prey dragging and the disguise of the prey's breath, plus the three of them were very light, they didn't make any movement, and they didn't arouse any suspicion from the phantom insects when they followed behind, and the journey went smoothly.

The sour smell is inevitable, and it is not appropriate to get used to it.

All the way deep, it is estimated that when they reached a depth of five or six hundred zhang underground, they had not seen any signs of the mother nest, Lin Yuan and Luo Kangan were secretly frightened, they didn't expect the mother of phantom insects to hide so deeply.

The three of them followed quietly, and suddenly there was a whooshing sound, followed by the squeak and scream of phantom insects, and the three of them looked at it, and two soft rope-like things suddenly stretched out from the hole above, and swept around, rolling a few phantom insects and dragging them directly up.

The screams came from the captured phantom insects, and the other phantom insects continued to drag the corpse forward, regardless of whether they were alive or dead, and it seemed that no difficulty could prevent them from carrying food back to the mother nest.

And there are still things in the hole above that sweep down, and the passage space is limited, so it is inconvenient for the three people to pass through.

Yan Ying's speed did not decrease, waving his hand was a dagger, sweeping left and right, and quickly cutting on each rolled rope.

The rope was painful, quickly retracted, blood dripping, and there was a cry of pain above the hole, and the movement of something in the upper stratum.

Lin Yuan and Luo Kang'an, who followed through, realized that the tongue of what was going on came down from the hole to hunt phantom insects as food, and it should have been the movement of phantom insects dragging food that alarmed other animals underground.

After that, he fell into the movement of dragging and dragging, and from time to time he encountered a fork in the hole, and if it wasn't for the phantom worm to lead the way, I was afraid it would be difficult to find.

Of course, it's also thanks to Yan Ying's experience in this area, otherwise who would know about these.

When it was estimated that it was nearly a thousand zhang deep underground, Yan Ying turned around and gestured to the two, hinting that at this depth, no matter what was abnormal, as long as it was not too intense, the immortal court guards on the ground should not be easy to detect.

The two nodded, but all three quickly stopped, and were a little dumbfounded, realizing that they had reached the end of the passage ahead, and there was no other way to go, only a few small holes.

The three of them looked around, but they didn't see the Mother of Phantom Worms.

And the phantom insect also stopped, already biting the corpse.

Luo Kangan immediately waved his hand twice, as if asking, could it be that these phantom insects are abusing their power for personal gain, and they want to hide here and swallow their prey?

Yan Ying rolled her eyes, shook her head, pointed to Luo Kangan's heart, and whispered: "Phantom insects don't have as much thought as humans, and when the food is not enough, they can treat themselves as food for the mother worm to eat, and it is impossible to ignore the mother worm." ”

Later, the three of them understood what it meant, and it turned out that those phantom insects were biting and cutting their prey.

After the cutting was completed, each phantom insect dragged a piece into the small hole, not even sparing the internal organs of the animal, leaving only a piece of blood and filth, and the smell in the cave became more and more unpleasant.

It doesn't matter if it smells bad, the key is that those phantom insects all dragged small pieces of food into the small hole, and all of them disappeared, the hole was too small, and the three of them couldn't continue to follow up.

The scene was quiet, only the faint movement of dragging came from the small hole.

Seeing that there were no phantom insects around, Luo Kangan asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?

"The brood shouldn't be so close to the ground, and when I catch the mother, it's much deeper than that. Yan Ying let out a strange sound, and immediately walked quickly to the small hole, pushed it out with one palm, and slowly shook her head after casting a spell in the air, "Sure enough, there is no end." ”

Luo Kangan: "Then what does this mean?"

Yan Ying hesitated, "When I caught the mother worm, I was not afraid of being discovered, although there were some accidents on the way, but it was true that I followed the mother nest like this, and I have never encountered such a situation of cutting food and taking it away." What's going on?"

Lin Yuan: "No matter how much any animal has no brains, it also has a sense of safety, and the six insect mothers were caught, which may be a lesson." He also stepped forward to investigate with one palm, and the mana spread into the hole, feeling that the interior was hollow for a long time, and his mana could not reach the end at all.

Luo Kangan: "What should I do?

Yan Ying disdainfully, "Are you stupid? It's already such a deep place underground, forcibly open the way? There is no room to remove the debris, you open a way to show me, if the tracking hole collapses, it will be difficult to find the target path again." ”

Lin Yuandao, who had just cast a spell to investigate, said: "It is not advisable to forcibly open the way, there are a large number of unusually hard strata in front of the hole. He turned around and asked Yan Ying again, "Is there no other way?"

Yan Ying was silent for a while, suddenly flipped her fingers and took out an incense pill, bent her fingers and shot into the hole eye, and at the same time rolled out with one palm, closing her eyes and casting spells.

Kamaru twisted around the cave for a while, catching up with the phantom insect that was dragging its food, and poof, Kamaru hit the food.

When it was over, she opened her eyes and said, "I put incense pills in the food, and I can track the mother nest based on the smell." ”

Luo Kangan was stunned and said, "We can't enter this hole, how can we follow it?"

Yan Ying: "As I said, this underground is another vast world, and many creatures that cannot be seen on the ground live underground. Even if the phantom insect is vigilant, it does not have such a high IQ, and it does not make holes in other places, but it has opened up holes in this place, and it is likely to avoid the living areas of other animals. Look around and see if there is any other space behind the walls. ”

She turned around first, pressed her palm on the cave wall, and cast a spell to probe deep into the cave wall.

Lin Yuan immediately did so, and pressed one palm on the cave wall above his head to cast a spell to investigate.

Alas! Luo Kangan sighed secretly, so he had to reach out to the side to cast a spell to investigate, he just pressed his hand for a while, was stunned, and turned around and said, "There is space behind the stone wall on my side." ”

Yan Ying and Lin Yuan immediately withdrew their hands, and both reached out and pressed against the wall of the cave where he had pressed.

Sure enough, in addition to the thickness of less than one zhang, there is really another space, and the space amplitude is significantly greater than this side.

Lin Yuan immediately waved his palm, and he was about to blast it open.

Yan Ying raised her hand to block it and reminded: "The passage space over there is not small. ”

Lin Yuan frowned.

Seeing the two hesitating, Luo Kangan was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Lin Yuan said slowly: "It shows that the animals that enter and exit that space are relatively large and may be more dangerous. ”

"I don't know what it is, but I can not be alarmed, or try not to be alarmed. Yan Ying explained, and pressed one palm on the stone wall, suddenly launched a powerful mana, poured into the wall, and slowly pushed it with one palm, only to see a gap in the cave wall, and such a hard wall was slowly pushed into it by her.

In this way, there was only a buzzing and rustling, and sure enough, there was not much movement.

The gap appeared, and Yan Ying pushed as she walked, and the other two followed.

After a while, a column space opened up, and with a wave of Yan Ying's single palm, the column slowly fell to the ground, and there was no movement.

The three people who walked out of the gap looked around, and it was indeed a large passage, more than a foot wide, and the height was not much shorter, but the uneven hard cave wall was rubbed relatively smooth, and it seemed that something often passed through.

Yan Ying observed for a moment, snorted, sniffed, and reminded: "It's the aisle of the Iron Dragon." ”

Luo Kang'an asked suspiciously: "What is the Iron Dragon?"

Yan Ying: "The name I gave, an underground beast, like a monitor lizard, with hard scale armor, invincibility of knives and guns, born with strong resistance to blows, with your cultivation, using weapons without using more than three points of cultivation, it is estimated that you can't penetrate its scale armor." The minions are sharp and brute force is very strong, and your body protection qi can't stop its attack. Its weakness is on the inside, just beckon it when you open your mouth. Don't let its saliva squirt. Pointing to the hole on the ground, "Saliva is very corrosive and toxic, and the toxicity in the phantom realm is basically accompanied by hallucination. ”

After finishing speaking, she didn't hesitate, she walked a few steps along the direction of the phantom worm, and she cast a spell on the stone wall to go deeper, confirmed the whereabouts of the phantom worm, and then turned her head to the two and said, "Let's go, for the time being, I will go in the direction of this hole." ”

The three of them walked all the way, and at the same time cast spells all the way to explore the whereabouts of the phantom insect walkway inside the stone wall, and were not affected by the other forks in the cave.

After walking less than a hundred feet, there was a sudden violent shock in front of him, accompanied by a sharp roar of "vomiting" rumbling and echoing in the passage of the cave.

Before the three of them could stop and ponder what was going on, there was a violent movement of rushing and friction at the fork in the road behind them, as if some behemoth was rushing quickly.

Yan Ying immediately pressed the wall with one palm, pushed out a hole, and waved his hand quickly, Luo Kangan's reaction at this time was the first to jump in and hide, Lin Yuan followed, Yan Ying finally cast a spell, there was no movement, and it was obvious that he had cast an illusion to cover it up.
