Chapter 271: Blood Ant Evolution
Lin Yu and the elder brother of the inner courtyard found the ice crack that Tang Wu and Tang Lu had infiltrated at the top of the peak, but the entire ice crack had been blocked by falling rocks and debris, making it impassable.
Tang Jiu's eyes were sharp, and at a glance, he could see a large pile of bulging stones at the far end of the ice crevasse.
"There's a lot of dug up rocks there, didn't Hachi dig them up at the top of the mountain before?"
The senior brother turned his head to look at the stone mill at the far end: "It should have been dug by the eighth child before, let's go and have a look!"
Everyone came to the stone pier near the place, and sure enough, a large black hole was dug out of the crack below, and the black and dark were bottomless.
With a pair of fleshy palms, the eighth junior brother forcibly dug such a passage of more than ten meters in the ice crevice, which was really not simple.
However, Lin Yu had a suspicious expression: "Since the ice crack has been dug through, why haven't you found the person?"
The senior brother shook his head: "I don't know, the eighth man fell unconscious after repairing the Heavenly Pillar, and he didn't have time to explain it to me, so it seems that he can only go down and take a look." β
Lin Yu nodded: "Okay, Tang Jiu, you are waiting outside, and Mr. Big and I will go to the depths of the crack to check the situation." β
Tang Jiu pouted helplessly, she was unable to move now, and there was really no way to go down with her at this time, and Tang Er's body was huge, and it was difficult to enter below along this passage.
Lin Yu and the elder brother of the inner courtyard entered the ground crack along this passage, descended more than ten meters and passed through the collapse area, and continued to descend dozens of meters along the passage between the ice crevices, and finally reached the solid ground below.
Lin Yu took out the vajra and urged the spiritual power to emit a faint golden light, illuminating the surrounding scenery.
The senior brother looked around, and his face was gloomy: "No wonder the eighth didn't find the ......"
Below the ice crevasses are rugged tunnels that extend in all directions, some high, some low, some wide and some narrow, and it is almost like being in a giant three-dimensional labyrinth.
Lin Yu looked around: "Most of these passages should be newly generated by the glacier collapse after this avalanche, let's look nearby, the glacier above should be unstable, don't go too deep." β
"I understand. β
Senior Brother nodded, and then walked towards a passage more than one person high in front of him: "I'll go over there." β
Lin Yu chose to go in the opposite direction, walking forward along a low passage, and after walking more than ten meters, the road suddenly narrowed, making it impossible for normal people to pass at all.
Lin Yu shook his head, retreated from the original path, and chose another tunnel to move forward, this tunnel was not interrupted, but it was divided into three forks at a distance of more than twenty meters.
Looking at the three intersections in front of him, Lin Yu hesitated for a moment before turning back directly.
When I returned to the same place, I happened to meet the senior brother of the inner courtyard who was also standing there with a sad face.
"Lin Yu, this underground is too complicated, the road either forks in the middle or is suddenly interrupted, if you want to search thoroughly, I'm afraid it will take at least dozens of people!"
Lin Yu nodded: "No wonder the eighth junior brother dug through the ice crevice but didn't find anyone, let's go up first, I have an idea, maybe you can try." β
The senior brother of the inner courtyard looked at Lin Yu with a surprised expression: "You have an idea again?"
Lin Yu's last idea was to split the snow tide, although it was whimsical, but in the end it saved the entire inner courtyard, so the senior brother was now twelve points interested in his idea.
"If you need Tang Jiu's help, let's go up and talk about it. β
Lin Yu and Senior Brother returned to the ground along the ice crevice, Tang Jiu and Tang Er were waiting anxiously outside, as soon as Tang Jiu saw Lin Yu appearing, he immediately couldn't wait to ask: "How is it, have you found anyone?"
Lin Yu jumped out of the cave and shook his head: "The terrain under the glacier is too complicated, and the passages lead in all directions, even we will be lost in it." β
Tang Jiu sighed: "Then what should I do, the fifth senior sister and the sixth junior can't last long!"
Lin Yu looked at Tang Jiu: "Those passages below require at least dozens of people to explore effectively, I need your help." β
"There's no way I'm going to get you dozens of people......"
Halfway through Tang Jiu's words, a sudden look suddenly appeared on his face: "You mean to use my blood ants to explore the way?"
The senior brother had never seen Tang Jiu's blood ants, so he asked suspiciously, "What are blood ants?"
"It's a Gu worm that I trained recently. β
Tang Jiu reached out and took down the bamboo tube containing the blood ants from his waist: "But the crawling speed of the blood ants is not fast enough, and it will take a long time to explore the entire tunnel below here." β
"I've thought about it. β
Lin Yu stretched out a hand: "Give me the blood ants, and I'll give them a chance to change." β
"Opportunity for change?"
Tang Jiu handed the bamboo tube to Lin Yu: "What do you mean?"
Lin Yu didn't answer, but squatted down, opened the lid of the bamboo tube, and dumped a group of blood ants on the snow.
A large area of crimson blood ants crawled back and forth on the snow, although it was freezing all around, they were still full of spirits, and they were indeed born aliens.
Senior Brother frowned: "Nine girls, when did you start refining Gu?"
Tang Jiu waved his hand: "Practice and play, but these blood ants are quite effective, and they saved my life this time!"
Senior Brother shook his head, with a disapproving expression, in his heart, Gu Technique, which belonged to the side door, was far inferior to the orthodox martial arts of the Inner Courtyard.
But he didn't know that Tang Jiu's practice of Gu art actually came from the classics left behind by the ancestors of the Tang Sect when they evacuated from Shuzhou.
Tang Jiu and Senior Brother asked and answered, while Lin Yu squatted there, carefully observing the group of blood ants on the snow.
These blood ants are not ordinary breeds of ants, especially after Tang Jiu's training, they have a trace of wisdom.
Once exposed to Reiki, the possibility of mutation is very high.
There are thousands of blood ants in this dense group, and as long as one-tenth of them successfully mutates, it is also a large force, enough for search and rescue.
"I'll give you a creation, whether you can break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly, it's up to you. β
Lin Yu stretched out his hand to take out a spirit crystal, crushed it into powder with a slight force on his hand, and then sprinkled it on the snow in front of him with a hand.
The crystal powder fell on the white snow, and the group of blood ants suddenly swarmed forward, crowding and rushing with each other to devour these spiritual power crystals, and in an instant, the spirit crystal powder was eaten completely.
Tang Jiu frowned and said, "What did you feed them?"
"A medicine I refined. β
Lin Yu said vaguely: "You can make blood ants sprout and change." β
Tang Jiu frowned: "It's like that disgusting medicine of the Participation Association?"
"It's the same, it's not the same......"
Lin Yu looked at the group of blood ants in front of him, and his eyes suddenly condensed slightly: "It's started." β
Sure enough, there was a change in the colony, and the bodies of a small number of blood ants began to grow significantly, and they continued to grow two or three times hesitantly, and then a crackling sound sounded, and the backs of these blood ants cracked, and six cicada-like wings poured out.
"Wow!"
Tang Jiu slapped excitedly: "It's really different, the medicine of the Participation Association makes people ugly, and your medicine makes my blood ants beautiful!"
"Flyingββ!"
