Chapter Twenty-Nine: What a Big Ant
Xue Ling's panicked screams made He Yi a little puzzled, he clearly remembered that he was fine when he left, how could something happen?
Not far away, his footsteps were fast, and after a while, he saw the road he had just walked, and then he was stunned to find that Yang Chen and Xue Ling were gone!
There wasn't such a pit there, what's going on?
He Yi remained cautious and walked quickly to the edge of the pit. The opening of this pit is less than half a zhang in diameter, because the angle of sunlight does not shine below. However, He Yi's eyesight was extremely strong, but he saw the two figures about twenty zhang deep. At this time, Xue Ling was crying in Yang Chen's arms, and he didn't know if he was scared or injured, Yang Chen was now comforting her.
With a sweep of his mind, he explored the cavern downward. The cave did not go straight up and down, but after a depth of twenty zhang, it turned in a direction and continued to descend diagonally, as if it led to a very far place.
"How are you doing?" he shouted down.
The frightened Xue Ling was still crying, and Yang Chen replied: "The ground suddenly collapsed just now, and we fell. Uncle, I'm afraid I can't go up for the time being, can you help us?"
If you fall so high, the ascetic may be a little better, but those who have not cultivated will definitely not be able to bear it. Xue Ling didn't fall to her death directly, most likely Yang Chen used her as a backrest.
The reason for the inexplicable sinking made He Yi frown slightly, he looked at the hole again, but he didn't find anything abnormal, so he simply jumped down, ready to take a closer look.
There were no thick enough vines around here, and he didn't have a rope on him, so if he wanted to save the two of them, he could only rely on climbing. Twenty feet deep, the hole in the ground turned and slanted down under their feet, and it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
Seeing that he had also come down, Xue Ling, who had been crying endlessly, sniffled, wiped his tears on Yang Chen's clothes, and asked with a crying voice: "Uncle He Yi, you are down, how can you save us?"
He Yi jokingly replied: "I'll come down to bury you." ”
With his ability, there are many ways to get out, and the most convenient and quick way is to jump up directly! He grabbed the two of them one by one, jumped high, and then climbed up on the left and right of the hole, and returned to the ground in a few blinks of an eye.
"Wow! Uncle He Yi is so amazing!" Xue Ling exclaimed, his eyes were shining with a light of worship, and there was not even a shadow left from the cry just now.
Yang Chen sat on the ground with a bitter face, the huge leg bone on his back was fine, but his own leg bone seemed to be dislocated. But pain is secondary, and being compared in front of his beloved is what makes him the most depressed!
Seeing this, He Yi smiled, pinched his leg bone and pressed it back to its original position, and praised: "The young man is very brave, he actually used his body as a cotton pad." If it weren't for you, Miss Xue would have to suffer. ”
That's all Uncle can help you!
Yang Chen was very sensible, quietly handed him a grateful look, and then looked at Xue Ling affectionately, and said in a low voice: "My mission is to protect her with all my own." ”
Xue Lingqiao blushed in shame, lowered her head and grabbed the corner of her clothes and twisted it.
He Yi shivered, and goosebumps fell to the ground.
At this embarrassing time, Xiao Yi, who had just been asleep for a long time, woke up early!
The little thing, like a baby sheep who had just woken up, looked left and right, shook its antennae, and immediately crawled from his shoulders to the top of his head, and then jumped down and crawled directly in the direction of the burrow.
Jumping out of the top of your head means "to see".
Is there something delicious down here?
Originally, he didn't want to care about this pit, but if there was Xiao Yi's food below, he really didn't mind going down and taking a look. After all, Xiao Yi's food can only last for the last two or three days, and if he doesn't get a little more, I'm afraid he won't be able to go directly to Xuandu.
Xiao Yi, who was like an ornament, suddenly came to life, which made the two juniors who were just about to enter affectionate mode stunned for a moment. Xue Ling was surprised and said, "Uncle, it's alive!"
"Well, it's my fairy beast, and its name is Xiao Yi. This place may be a little dangerous, you better go to Meicheng first, I'll go and see for myself, don't wait for me. ”
As he spoke, Xiao Yi had already crawled into the pit. He Yi didn't dare to let it run around on its own, so he hurriedly jumped down first, ready to explore this deep hole together.
Xue Ling, who was full of curiosity, opened his mouth and saw that he and the big ant were gone, so he had to swallow the question back.
"Ling'er, let's go first?" Yang Chen asked as he rubbed the knee socket that had just been picked up and had just returned the joint.
"Don't be in such a hurry, Brother Yang must have fallen very painfully, right? Let's go down to the tree over there, and Ling'er will rub it for you." Xue Lingyan smiled lightly, picked up Yang Chen, and walked to the side. Then, there is a shy plot of a young couple who are you and me......
He Yi fell in the position where the two of them fell, and Xiao Yi also arrived after a while. He grabbed the little thing and put it on his shoulder and asked, "Little one, do you feel the smell of food?"
Xiao Yi nodded up and down, raised his forefeet, and shook and shook with his tentacles, looking a little impatient.
Look at its eagerness, if it hadn't changed its taste for too long and smelled new food, then there must have been more precious ores at the other end of the cave than those in the Sumeru Ring!
Diagonally down the hole in the ground, He Yi felt a great headache. Although this hole is not small, it can't make him stand up and walk, so he can only bend down and slowly move forward.
His mind remained outward, and he observed the cave as he walked forward. The soil on the surface of the cave is still very wet, and it must have just been formed, and the hole is rough and uniform, and it seems that it was not dug by man, but by some animal. There are many animals that are good at burrowing into the ground, and pangolins are one of the best. However, such a big hole is obviously impossible to make without cultivation. If it is a demon, according to the estimation of the size of this cave, the Tao should not be low.
The hole is very deep and long, and it went down obliquely for three miles, and then fell down seven hundred zhang, and then continued to slope down thirteen miles, fell five hundred zhang, and went up seven miles obliquely. Turning around, this way made He Yi, who was bent over, very uncomfortable. In this dark cave, although he sees things as usual, but that sense of depression will also make people panic in their hearts, if it weren't for his own strength, ordinary people would have been crazy in this kind of dark place before and after, and there is no way left and right.
Moving on, there was a strange smell faintly in the burrow. After walking a few hundred steps, the smell became clearer and clearer, like the smell of grass, but not very similar.
Xiao Yi's tentacles shook faster and faster, and he was so excited that he wanted to run over again and again.
After walking nearly a thousand steps, the strange smell did not increase but decreased, became thin and almost disappeared. But another breath appeared at this time!
He Yi sensed his mind, and sensed that kind of cool and even a little cold aura, this aura was very pure, and it was expected that it should not be an ordinary thing! He quickened his steps, bent over and hurried forward in the underground cave, and after a while, he saw that the scene in front of him had changed, no longer only the front and back passages, but a huge underground cave!
The darkness underneath was unobstructed, but it couldn't obstruct his view. Looking around, he was slightly surprised by the sparkling blue gemstones. However, it was only a slight surprise.
This dark blue gem is called Qinghe Stone, which is a bit similar to the bluestone cold spirit, and the effect of guiding mana is not added, so it is not suitable for making magic weapons, and almost all of them are used to build palaces. The quality of Qinghe Stone is slightly lower than that of Qingshi Hanlu, which should not make the little guy so excited. So obviously, they haven't gotten to the heart yet!
Xiao Yi was still that eager, commanding He Yi to continue to move forward. A person and an ant passed through the dark blue Qinghe stone veins, walked straight forward for more than twenty steps, and then turned left on the road and continued to extend the front.
The reserves of Qinghe stone here are very huge, and if they are discovered, they may be able to get rich overnight. He Yi is not completely disdainful of this thing, if there are not many more quintessential things, it is also good to dig up a little bit and wait for a while.
The mind is on alert, and the wood knife is already in the hand. After walking dozens of steps in the spacious passage, he finally discovered the initiator of this passage!
Fifty zhang in front of him, there is a huge Qinghe Stone Mother, and at this moment, there is a huge ant gnawing on the Qinghe Stone Mother! That ant is nearly a zhang long, the whole body is bright gold, the head and chest are not very large, but the abdomen occupies more than three-quarters of the body volume!
What a big ant!
He was stunned for a moment.
This golden big-bellied ant is clearly a star-eating ant queen!
There is actually a star-eating ant queen on the immeasurable earth? Isn't this species in the immortal realm among the mortal ranks? Nearly a foot in size, this golden queen ant should be at the Vientiane level, the same as the small queen ant on the metal planet! But there is only one queen ant here, and there are no soldier ants and worker ants, and the queen ant still comes out to find food herself. Is this because the colony has been wiped out and only one queen has escaped? Or is the queen just grown and ready to reproduce?
He Yi's thinking was only in the blink of an eye, but when he lost his mind, Xiao Yi had already run out! When he found out, the little guy had already climbed out of five zhang away, and the speed was unusually fast!
"Xiao Yi, don't go over!" he exclaimed.
There's an ant queen over there! If Xiao Yi comes into contact with him, I'm afraid he will surrender and no longer be his partner! It has been twenty or thirty years since Xiao Yi was abducted with the Nine Heavens Meteorite. For this lazy ant, he has long regarded it as a pet and a partner!
If the little guy really surrenders to the queen ant, what should he do? Kill the queen ant and take back Xiao Yi, who may hate him? Or leave silently, let the little guy assist the queen ant to grow the ant colony, and become a hidden danger in Meicheng from now on?
Kill!
In just an instant, he had a judgment!
The firewood knife was clenched, and He Yi quickened his pace and chased after Xiao Yi.
The speed of the little thing increased dramatically, almost on par with him, and the short distance of fifty zhang was reached at once. Xiao Yi is very special, it is difficult for the Yuan Shen to find that the golden ant queen is eating, but she only noticed He Yi's arrival, but did not see it. And at this time, Xiao Yi's pair of Ugin pincers opened and closed, and the tentacles trembled three times in a row, and a dark golden light suddenly shot out from its head, and it didn't enter the top of the ant's head that had just turned around and was ready to deal with He Yi.
"Xiao Yi, come back quickly!"
He Yilai was a step late and shouted anxiously. Seeing that Xiao Yi and the queen ant were less than half a foot apart, and two pairs of ants different from humans stared at each other, his heart sank to the bottom all of a sudden.
The golden queen opened the mouth, the width of the mouth was enough to swallow Xiao Yi directly!
At the moment when the queen's mouthparts opened, He Yi shouted, and the firewood knife slashed out vertically with the power of wind and fire, turning into a fiery red knife qi, illuminating this dark underground!
