I'm not a psychopath!

Jiang Qing sat at the desk for a long time, but apart from those crazy words and sporadic clues, he did not find any more clues.

All the weird sources seemed to point to the eternal underworld, but where is this eternal underworld? He murmured to himself, his eyes revealing deep thoughts.

At this moment, the sky was slightly white, and it was quiet everywhere. A layer of mist filled the mountains and forests, adding a bit of mystery and tranquility to this morning.

However, this tranquility did not relax Jiang Qing's mood, but made him more alert.

He stood up, walked to the door of the wooden house, took a deep breath of fresh air, trying to make his mind clearer.

In the mist, the outline of the forest was looming, as if hiding countless secrets.

"Jiang Qing, did you not sleep all night?" Luo Shui's voice came from behind, and she seemed to have just woken up.

Jiang Qing turned around and smiled slightly, "Yes, I have thought a lot, but there are still many things I don't understand."

Luo Shui walked to his side and also looked at the forest in the distance, "This eternal underworld sounds like a place in myths and legends. Could it be that the owner of the diary has sealed it and made it up?"

"I don't know, but the paper man last night..." Jiang Qing's voice was firm, "Everything that happened here is weird.

I don't have a clue for the time being."

"I don't care, don't be too tired, just take it slowly." Luo Shui looked at Jiang Qing and rubbed his philtrum, perhaps a little tired.

I don't know why, this group of immortal cultivators, they have no problem staying up for a month in the outside world, but since entering this small world, they are particularly prone to fatigue.

It's not just her, everyone feels this way, so everyone took turns to sleep last night, and they are more energetic.

"Yeah." He responded.

Shen Chengxian and Bailiye also walked out of the wooden house one after another. They both looked a little sleepy. The former yawned and said, "It would be nice if there was something to eat. Swallowing pills is really tasteless."

Jiang Qing looked at the sleepy appearance of Shen Chengxian and Bailiye, and heard Shen Chengxian's complaints, and suddenly smiled, "Delicious? That's easy."

He walked to the storage bag, reached into it, and then took out a complete set of picnic equipment one by one, with pots and pans, followed by various ingredients, including fresh vegetables, processed meat, and even some seasonings and condiments.

This scene made several people dumbfounded. They thought that they should bring more magic weapons and pills to participate in the battle of luck, but Jiang Qing actually brought so much food.

"Are you here for a picnic?" Shen Chengxian widened his eyes and looked at the ingredients in Jiang Qing's hand.

Bailiye also looked incredible, "Brother Jiang, you are so well prepared."

Jiang Qing smiled, "Facing the fight of the demons, we must be fully prepared, but food is also part of the fighting power.

Only when you are full can you have the strength to fight, right?"

The team members also needed food to replenish their energy and spirit, and they immediately felt that this made sense. He was worthy of being the captain, with a long-term vision!

And as a time traveler, Jiang Qing has a unique insight into cooking. He began to prepare breakfast.

After a while, several earthly delicacies with good color, fragrance and taste were presented to everyone, including fried bacon, golden fried eggs, roasted meat with crispy outside and tender inside, and several exquisite side dishes.

Once again shocked several team members, they ate with relish, constantly praising Jiang Qing's cooking skills, and Qin Xiaosui was full of love, a man who can cook!

Alive!

"Jiang Qing, your skills can open a restaurant." Qin Xiaosui ate with a mouth full of oil.

"Yeah, I've never tasted this barbecue before, it's so delicious!"

The atmosphere became relaxed for a while, everyone sat around the fire, enjoying the food, temporarily forgetting the tension and fatigue.

Jiang Qing also cut a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, soft and juicy, not bad.

He chewed carefully, savoring the satisfaction brought by the food. Just when Jiang Qing was about to eat the second piece, he suddenly tilted his head and found a giant ant in the jungle, staring at this place.

Jiang Qing raised his eyebrows and suddenly had a strange idea. He raised the steak in his hand, and sure enough, the giant ant's eyes moved with the steak.

'Interesting' Jiang Qing thought, and picked up another steak with his sword, as if saying: 'Come here, come here and I'll give it to you. '

The companions looked at Jiang Qing's behavior with a blank face. What is he doing?

Not eating well, picking up with a long sword, such a delicious steak, isn't this a waste of heaven's gift!

But soon someone reacted.

That's not right. Jiang Qing never does things without reason. Could it be that... doing this will make the meat more delicious! !

Thinking about it this way, the truth is revealed in an instant!

When he was grilling meat before, he kept slapping the meat. At that time, no one understood it, but after the food was made, they realized that what Jiang Qing said was true!

Since slapping can make the meat more delicious, then stabbing with a sword must also make sense.

So Qin Xiaosui reached into Jiang Qing's storage bag and took out a sword. Bailiye used a long cone to pick up the steak, and Luo Shui used the tip of the halberd.

Luo Hua looked at his mop.

"..."

Isn't this bullying?

The next moment, the giant ant suddenly rushed out. The incident happened suddenly, and the teammates were all startled. Seeing the giant ant pounce on the meat on the tip of the sword, they understood Jiang Qing's intention. The group quickly took action and prepared to subdue the giant ant.

Bailiye shook the spear in his hand, the tip of the spear flashed with cold light, and directly confronted the giant ants. Luo Shui waved her halberd, sweeping across with powerful force, trying to disrupt the giant ants' offensive.

Shen Chengxian quickly retreated and began to accumulate strength, preparing to smash the armor with a punch.

Jiang Qing remained calm. He carefully observed the movements of the giant ant, looking for the best opportunity to subdue it. He knew that this kind of giant ant was usually powerful but relatively slow in movement. The key was to find its weakness.

Just when the giant ant was about to attack, Jiang Qing discovered its weakness.

Ants are arthropods, and the joints between the limbs are the most fragile. He immediately loudly instructed his teammates: "Remove some of its legs and keep the mouth alive!"

Bailiye and Luo Shui immediately adjusted their attack direction and concentrated their efforts on attacking the giant ant's joints.

Qin Xiaosui seized the opportunity and quickly flashed to the tail of the giant ant. This ant seemed to have mutated and had a tail stinger that could sting people.

Qin Xiaosui exerted his strength with his little hands and actually managed to break the steel-like tail needle.

Soon, the sword light flashed, and several legs fell off. Jiang Qing put away the sword, walked to the giant ant, observed carefully, and did not forget to take a bite of the barbecue gracefully. The meat was delicious, rich in juice, and unforgettable. .

He chewed it carefully, and several people sat around the fire and began to study the giant ant.

Bailiye poked the giant ant's carapace curiously, "The shell of this thing is so hard, the tip of my spear can only leave a shallow mark."

Luo Shui paid attention to the body structure of the giant ant, "Its leg muscles are very developed and its strength should be amazing."

Qin Xiaosui took out a booklet and recorded everything he observed, "The giant ants seem to have good eyesight and respond quickly to moving objects."

Then, Jiang Qing analyzed: "You must know that this giant ant has fragments of luck on its body, and ants are social animals.

This is the second giant ant we have discovered, only a few hours apart, which shows that there are a lot of giant ants in this area.

And if we can find the giant ant's nest, we might be able to obtain a massive amount of luck fragments at once. "

The team members were all moved after hearing this, so the question became, how to find the giant ant nest.

Bailiye made a suggestion: "Search for souls!"

But none of them had magic such as mental power, and they were at a deadlock for a while.

Jiang Qing had an idea and told his teammates not to keep the giant ant, but to take out the fragments of luck, while he himself disappeared into the forest.

In the forest, Jiang Qing cooked another big meal. He chose an open area, built a simple stove with stones, and lit the firewood.

The flames jumped and licked the bottom of the pot. Jiang Qing put the sliced ​​meat into the pot. The oil quickly released an alluring aroma under the high temperature.

He knew that the ant before was attracted by the barbecue in his hand, and that the worker ants went out to look for food to bring back to feed the queen.

He decided to take advantage of this and set up a trap.

Jiang Qing had just finished making the bait trap and went to notify his teammates. When he returned to the camp, Jiang Qing saw his teammates speaking out his thoughts, and everyone's eyes lit up.

"Hey, why is Xiao Sui missing?" Jiang Qing asked in confusion.

Luo Shui knew that Jiang Qing was worried about Qin Xiaosui, "Xiaosui dissected the giant ant and went to wash his hands in the nearby stream. He should be back soon."

Jiang Qing nodded and said: "As long as nothing happens, we'll leave a mark for her so Xiao Sui can find her."

Although Qin Xiaosui looks naturally dazed, his business ability is absolutely top-notch, and the trap needs to be guarded and cannot be left for too long.

So everyone followed Jiang Qing into the jungle and walked in the jungle for a while. Jiang Qing suddenly made a gesture, which meant that he had discovered the enemy's situation. Everyone suddenly stepped down and slowly approached the trap.

Sure enough, in the shadow of the trees, there is a creature that is eating food crazily. Why is it so petite?

Everyone was confused and discussed through the voice transmission of their spiritual consciousness: "There are also child laborers in ants?"

"Maybe, who knows..."

"Then the queen ant is too dark-minded. She is sent out to work at such a young age. Do you want to pay her wages?"

“Where do ants get their wages?”

The team members were talking in a flurry. Jiang Qing's face darkened, as if he thought of something, and rushed out. As expected, this figure was Qin Xiaosui!

I didn't catch the giant ant, but I caught this little cutie...

Qin Xiaosui was picked up by Jiang Qing's collar and lifted up, "Xiaosui... why are you here?"

"Xiao Sui smelled it, hehe, isn't it amazing?" She told with excitement how she found these wild barbecued meats!

Jiang Qing's eyes twitched. Is this guy's nose so good? He said nothing and had to rearrange the trap.

And a special herb is added, which is crushed and sprinkled on the barbecue. This herb has a strong pungent smell and can attract surrounding insects.

After setting up the trap, Jiang Qing returned to where his teammates were waiting. They hid in the nearby trees and waited quietly for their prey to take the bait.

Time passed by, and the creatures in the forest began to become active. Birds and insects chirped one after another, but there was still no movement at the trap.

Just when everyone was about to lose their patience, Jiang Qing suddenly caught a hint of movement in the corner of his eyes.

He made a gesture to signal everyone to silence, and then slowly approached the location of the trap.

Among the trees, a giant ant was quietly approaching the barbecue. Its tentacles were constantly swinging, as if it was detecting the surrounding environment.

This giant ant is bigger than the one captured before, and its shell is harder.

Jiang Qing signaled everyone to get ready. They held their breath and stared at the giant ant.

As expected, it did not eat, but happily took the barbecue and crawled deep into the jungle.

…

"Follow."

Jiang Qing and his team walked through the jungle carefully, trying not to make any noise to avoid disturbing the giant ant in front.

The giant ant shuttled through the jungle, stopping from time to time, using its antennae to detect the surroundings, as if to confirm the direction.

Jiang Qing and his teammates always kept a safe distance. They knew that once they approached the giant ant's alert range, they might be discovered by it.

After a period of tracking, the giant ant finally stopped at the entrance of an inconspicuous underground cave. It paused for a moment, then drilled in and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Jiang Qing and his teammates quickly stepped forward, they surrounded the entrance of the cave and looked inside.

The cave was dark and bottomless, and a damp smell came to our faces.

"It seems that this is the entrance to the giant ant's nest." Jiang Qing said in a deep voice.

"Should we go down?" Shen Chengxian hesitated.

Bailiye also frowned, "The environment inside the cave is complicated. If the giant ants set an ambush inside, we may be in a difficult battle."

Jiang Qing nodded. He always felt a little uneasy. This sense of danger did not come from the underground cave, but from the surrounding environment.

Just as he was about to communicate his feelings with his teammates, something strange happened. There was a rustling sound from all directions, as if countless footsteps were approaching.

"Be careful!" Jiang Qing shouted. His intuition told him that they were surrounded.

Sure enough, from the surrounding bushes, soldier ants appeared one by one. Although there were only thirty or forty of them, each of them exuded a strong breath, and it was obvious that they were not friendly.

"We are the ones who fell into the trap!" Luo Shui's face was gloomy.

Fortunately, this was not the encirclement of the demon clan, otherwise he would definitely die.

Jiang Qing quickly analyzed the situation. "These soldier ants should have been lured out by the giant ants. They are here to protect the nest. We must break out as soon as possible, otherwise once more soldier ants arrive, our situation will be even worse."

"Go ahead!" Shen Chengxian waved his fist.
