Chapter 216 The Netherworld Appears
After saying that, Jiang Qing jumped into the cave and slowly descended along the cave wall.
The cave was dark and humid, and there was a musty smell in the air. Jiang Qing carefully avoided the ant colony and moved quietly into the depths of the cave.
He found that there were many passages in the cave, which were intricate and like a maze, but Jiang Qing was not worried, he had a way to find the location of the queen ant.
He took out a few paper cranes from his storage bag like a magic trick, and then attached a wisp of consciousness to the paper cranes.
In this way, he could get the vision of the paper cranes.
"Go."
The paper crane in Jiang Qing's hand suddenly flapped its wings and fluttered into the intricate passage.
He hid behind a protruding rock and closed his eyes.
This feeling is magical.
Although his eyes are closed, he can see things, but the objects in his eyes are only black and white, without color.
With the help of the thousand paper cranes, Jiang Qing only took more than ten minutes to lock the location of the queen ant. It was a huge cave in the deepest part of the cave, where a large number of soldier ants gathered, guarding a huge queen ant.
Jiang Qing was delighted, and he knew that his chance had come.
He approached the queen ant silently, and at the same time sent a signal to his teammates outside.
"Here we come!"
Shen Chengxian, Luo Shui and others outside saw a yellow talisman spontaneously ignited, and immediately reacted. After receiving the signal, they immediately started to act.
They would make some noises to attract the attention of the ant colony and create opportunities for Jiang Qing.
...
Jiang Qing took the opportunity to sneak into the queen ant's cave and approached the queen ant silently.
The queen ant was immersed in a beautiful dream and was completely unaware of the approaching danger.
This huge piece of fat is simply a reproductive machine. It lays eggs even when it is asleep. Behind it, there are two worker ants responsible for carrying it back and forth.
A cold light flashed in Jiang Qing's eyes, and he drew out his long sword and operated the whole body method.
A sword stabbed the queen ant's vitals.
The queen ant suddenly woke up and let out a sharp roar, but it was too late. Jiang Qing's long sword had already pierced its body and severely injured it.
The queen ant struggled for a few times, and her mountain-like body slowly stood up, but the next moment, a wisp of sword energy shone from her belly.
"Boom!!"
The queen ant's belly exploded directly.
He was about to leave when he suddenly felt a strong breath coming from the depths of the cave.
No, there is a more powerful existence in the cave!
Jiang Qing's heart tightened, and he knew he had to leave immediately.
He quickly performed the illusion technique, changed his breath, and at the same time ran out of the cave.
At this moment, a deafening roar came from the depths of the cave, and a giant ant that was even larger than the queen ant rushed out.
This giant ant was pitch black, with a fierce light flashing in its eyes. It was obviously a strong man in the ant colony.
It saw Jiang Qing and immediately roared and pounced on Jiang Qing.
Jiang Qing was shocked. He knew that he could not fight this giant ant head-on and had to leave as soon as possible.
He used all his magic power, increased his speed to the extreme, and rushed out of the cave.
The giant ants chased him closely, and every collision made the cave tremble.
Feeling the vibration from below, it seemed wrong. It didn't sound like the sound of ants crawling, but more like
"Jiang Qing seems to be in big trouble. We can't just sit back and watch." Shen Chengxian clenched his fists, with worry flashing in his eyes.
Bailiye also nodded in agreement, "Yes, we must go down to save people."
Luo Shui raised a practical question, "The cave is densely covered with ants. How can we break through the siege and reach Jiang Qing's position?"
Qin Xiaosui's eyes flashed with determination, "No matter what, we have to try."
Luo Hua made a suggestion, "We can enter the cave from different directions, distract the attention of the ants, and then look for opportunities to reunite with Jiang Qing."
Everyone agreed, they acted quickly, each chose a direction, and carefully entered the cave.
The cave was dark and humid, and the ants were like black waves, surging everywhere. Everyone collided with the ants and started a fierce battle.
However, the number of ants was too large, and even they could not resist. Although they could knock down a few soldier ants with each attack, more soldier ants came up again.
"This won't work!" Shen Chengxian said anxiously.
"He's right. These thousands of soldier ants... let alone our realm, even if everyone is promoted to another level, it will be difficult to resist. This is over."
"Let's fight."
The fighting became louder and louder, and the whole cave showed a tendency to collapse.
Stones and dust kept falling from the top of the cave, and the whole space was filled with a tense and dangerous atmosphere.
At this moment, Qin Xiaosui's eyes lit up, and her spiritual sense was released, and she found a hole underground.
"Everyone, look, there is space underground!" Qin Xiaosui shouted loudly.
Hearing this, everyone also sent out their spiritual sense. There was indeed a hole underground, and it was very deep. At least the spiritual sense could not reach the bottom, but what's the use of this?
Qin Xiaosui took a horse stance, took a deep breath, raised his fist, and then smashed it down fiercely.
Qin Xiaosui punched with all his strength.
"Boom!!" The noise continued for a long time, the ground cracked and the mountains collapsed, the cracks on the ground continued to expand, and they were bottomless.
The soldier ants began to fall, making sharp roars.
Qin Xiaosui himself almost fell into the bottomless abyss, but fortunately Luo Shui acted in time and rescued him at the critical moment.
"That was close!" Qin Xiaosui patted his chest with lingering fear.
Luo Shui stuck his head out and observed the crack, "This hole may be our chance to break through the ant colony. It helped us stop the pursuers, but what about Jiang Qing?"
"Almost the entire underground cave is about to collapse. I'm afraid Brother Jiang will not be able to escape the impact, but the good news is that these giant ants can't fly." Bailiye also stuck his head out and looked at the dark crack.
"The giant ants will probably turn into meat patties if they fall down, but Brother Jiang can fly with a sword, so he may not be hurt. Let's wait for a while. If Brother Jiang doesn't come up, we will go down!
Never give up on anyone!"
...
In the dim cave, Jiang Qing stood up, and in front of him was a human-shaped earth pit.
Well, he smashed it himself.
The sudden collapse of the ground caused him and the most powerful giant ant to fall down together, one dead and one injured.
The injury was because a strange field appeared more than a hundred meters away from the bottom of the crack, and the air was forbidden, so he couldn't fly.
Fortunately, with his current physique, he can still withstand more than a hundred meters. As for the giant ant with a strong breath, it is not so lucky.
At such a high altitude, it accelerated all the way down...
"Tsk tsk tsk."
Jiang Qing smacked his lips and looked at the pile of mud beside him. He took out the luck fragments of the giant ant, and then the fragments turned into a burst of qi and sank into his body.
No feeling.
The strange thing is that even if he has obtained many luck fragments, it seems far from enough.
"How much do you need?
Such a large piece of fragments, how can there be only so little?" Jiang Qing frowned, but he did not think deeply about it for the time being. What he wanted to think about now was how to get out.
Jiang Qing walked forward, because there was only one passage in this cave. Although he could climb outside the restricted air zone and fly up, there was obviously a secret underground.
What is the mysterious restricted air zone?
You know, restricted air zones are generally only in cities, especially royal cities.
Otherwise, if you are allowed to fly over your head every day, will the emperor still have shame?
But the problem is here again.
This is underground!
"This depth is more than 2,000 meters..." Jiang Qing muttered to himself.
In addition to exploring the secrets underground, there is actually another reason, that is, there is blood of the queen ant on the ground. Its buttocks were blown off, but it was not dead.
And it fell down, but as long as you follow the blood trail forward, you can always find its location.
Cut the grass to the root, and there are also pieces of luck to take. Jiang Qing thinks this is simply free.
After walking underground for about ten minutes, it suddenly became clear.
This is a dark and empty underground space. Even if Jiang Qing extends his spiritual perception to the limit, he cannot detect the edge. In other words... the diameter of this space is at least more than a kilometer.
"There is really a problem."
Jiang Qing frowned slightly, walked to the wall, and stretched out his hand to gently rub the surface of the wall.
Unlike the limestone wall inside the cave, this vast flat wall is built with pieces of blue-gray bricks.
When it comes into contact with the skin, it conveys a slight coolness. There is no gap between the bricks, as if they grew together, and the workmanship is extremely exquisite.
"Is this artificially built?" Jiang Qing had a question in his mind.
He carefully observed the bricks and found some strange patterns engraved on them. These patterns emitted a faint light and formed a complex array.
This array not only maintains the stability of this space, but also forms the forbidden air field.
Jiang Qing's heart moved, and he began to try to analyze these patterns and try to understand the principle of this array. He has studied the array quite a bit. After a period of observation and thinking, he gradually grasped some key points.
He found that the core of this array lies in a special energy cycle. Through the clever arrangement of these blue-gray bricks, a stable energy field is formed.
Jiang Qing retracted his palm, took a deep breath, and calmed down.
He knew that the secrets hidden in this underground space might be far beyond his imagination.
Every step he took next must be cautious, and he continued to walk in the direction of the bloodstains on the ground.
He tracked while.
While expanding his consciousness to the limit, he explored everything around him.
His consciousness spread out like water waves, covering a range of dozens of meters around him.
He could feel the subtle changes in the air flow, temperature, humidity, etc. in the underground space, and any abnormality could not escape his perception.
"This place is not simple, maybe there will be danger." Jiang Qing was secretly alert in his heart.
Gradually, the bloodstains on the ground became less and less, and the traces became fainter and fainter. Jiang Qing had to slow down and carefully look for every possible clue.
But suddenly, Jiang Qing's eyes lit up, as if he saw something, showing a surprised look.
Not far ahead, he found an unusual bloodstain on the ground.
This bloodstain was much brighter than the surrounding bloodstains, and the area was also larger. More importantly, there were some strange objects scattered around this bloodstain.
Jiang Qing walked forward quickly and squatted down to observe carefully.
He found that these strange objects were some broken shells, which were very hard and had some strange patterns on the surface.
Jiang Qing's mind moved, and he realized that these shells were likely from the queen ant.
But the key point is... the queen ant might have been attacked in some way during her escape, causing the shell to break and blood to splatter.
He continued to move forward in the direction of the bloodstains and shell fragments, and the tension and expectation in his heart became stronger and stronger.
He knew that he might have approached the position of the queen ant, and there was also the unknown thing.
He could feel that the atmosphere in the underground space was becoming more and more oppressive, as if some powerful existence was secretly watching.
Jiang Qing clenched the long sword in his hand, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time.
At the same time, his mind was also thinking rapidly, analyzing possible situations and response strategies.
"What is that?"
Just as Jiang Qing was pondering the secrets of the underground space, his consciousness suddenly touched a solid existence, which seemed to be another wall?
A strong curiosity and vigilance surged in his heart. This unknown wall gave him a different feeling from the previous one.
"Sizzle--" a light sound.
The flame flashed in his hand, and the faint light danced in the darkness.
Jiang Qing blew gently, and the flame seemed to be given life, growing rapidly, and finally turned into a fireball like a small sun, illuminating the underground space here.
In this sudden light, Jiang Qing finally saw the scene in front of him clearly.
A city wall, no, to be more precise, a city gate, stood majestically in front of him. The city wall was black, and the surface seemed to have been eroded by the years, leaving countless traces, looking ancient and strange.
Above the city gate was a stone door head, carved with some vague patterns, which seemed to depict some ancient legends or history.
And the huge and majestic bronze door shocked Jiang Qing even more. This door was huge, and the surface was covered with verdigris, but it still couldn't cover up its majesty and solemnity.
However, the scene that happened next shocked Jiang Qing.
On the bronze door, twisted faces suddenly appeared, their expressions were painful, and they seemed to be screaming silently.
These faces kept changing, and sometimes turned into ferocious animal faces, as if they were about to break through the shackles of the bronze door and pounce on Jiang Qing.
An inexplicable fear surged in Jiang Qing's heart. He could feel the strong resentment and anger contained in these faces.
He shook his head quickly.
In an instant, the world returned to clarity and all the strange phenomena disappeared.
Behind this door, there might be something terrible hidden, and it might even be closely related to the secret of the entire battle of destiny.
He slowly stepped back a few steps, clenched the long sword in his hand, and stared at the bronze door vigilantly.
Jiang Qing took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
"What on earth is this..."
This city wall, this city gate, he suddenly thought of something... the Eternal Underworld!
