Chapter 163 Secret Path

This time, Mulanzhi didn't go through the purple bamboo forest with Fengyun, but went directly to the witch's residence through a secret road.

The outermost end of the secret passage is still quite a distance from the purple bamboo forest, but the way of covering the opening of the secret passage is also unexpected by Fengyun, and it is very ingenious.

The secret passage was actually hidden in an ant nest.

It is not very accurate to say that it is an ant nest, it should be said that it is an ant hill.

It is three or four stories high, and the wind and rain can be seen outside, and the traces of years of erosion can be seen, obviously it has existed for a long time.

The fact that the anthill has existed for a long time does not mean that it has been abandoned by the ant colony. On the contrary, before getting close, Fengyun saw a lot of ants, coming in and out, a very busy scene.

The ants are also very big, each one is about the size of a finger.

The whole body is black, and under the sunlight, there is a metallic luster.

If they lay still on the ground, Feng Yun would even mistake them for being made of steel.

However, what impressed Feng Yun the most about these ants was not their size. He had seen even bigger ants in Zheshen Mountain.

What impresses him the most is their teeth, which are not only long, but also very sharp, and have a very special shape, just like knives.

Mulanzhi told him that these ants are called knife ants, the name comes from their teeth that resemble knives.

Their teeth are not only extremely sharp, even the skin of totem warriors can easily bite through, but also poisonous.

Once bitten by it, the wound will be red, swollen, festered, and the whole body will be scorching hot. If it does not receive timely treatment, it may even be life-threatening.

Sword ants also have a strong sense of territory. As long as they invade their territory, they will immediately attack no matter whether it is a human or a wild beast.

They are extremely powerful. They are not afraid of death, even if the enemy who invades their territory is very powerful, they will never back down until they drive the enemy away. Or until it is killed.

Therefore, few people will take the initiative to provoke these dangerous guys, and when they see their anthills, they will consciously avoid them.

For the territorial awareness and toughness of the knife ants, Fengyun has personal experience.

He was still about fifty feet away from the anthill. Those knife ants that were still crawling normally immediately became restless and began to touch each other with their tentacles.

After a while, they gathered together and rushed towards him.

They are numerous and move very fast.

In Fengyun's eyes, when they rushed over, they were like a flood that had burst its embankment, but it was black.

Just when Fengyun couldn't help but wanted to grab Mulanzhi's arm and drag her away, she grabbed some fine powder from an animal skin bag. sprinkled on them.

Immediately afterwards, a scene that surprised Fengyun extremely occurred.

The army of knife ants who were aggressive a second ago immediately quieted down, stopped in their tracks, and then dispersed, doing whatever they wanted, just like before they realized that their territory had been invaded.

"These are medicinal powders deliberately developed by Wu, which can confuse the sword ants and make them treat us as their own kind."

Before Fengyun could ask any questions, Mulanzhi explained.

After Mulanzhi finished speaking, she continued to walk towards the anthill.

Fengyun followed behind her. However, he quietly narrowed the distance with her.

The medicine powder was researched by the witch, and Fengyun believed her, and he had seen her medical skills before, but he was not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

Fengyun is still worried that something will go wrong.

He was closer to Mulanzhi. If something really went wrong, he would be there to help in time. American Nightmare

Fortunately, there was no situation that Fengyun was worried about.

The two walked safely to the front of the anthill.

But Mulanzhi's next action made Fengyun a little nervous again.

She actually crawled in through an opening in the anthill.

A large group of knife ants was around her, and some even climbed onto her body, which was very dangerous.

"Yun, come in quickly. It's fine. With the witch's powder, they will never bite us."

Mulanzhi waved to Fengyun. Signal him to come in quickly.

Seeing Mulanzhi's calm expression, Fengyun no longer hesitated, and followed him into the anthill.

After entering, Fengyun discovered that there was a passage at the bottom of the anthill, which was square and made of stones. However, from the traces on the surface of the stone, it could be seen that the passage had been built for a long time.

Walking into the passage, Fengyun measured its height.

He raised his hand and stood on tiptoe until his fingertips barely touched the top of the passage, which was quite high.

Although Feng Yun's body is not the tallest in the Yan Snake Tribe, it is still in the upper-middle class. With the length of his arms, he is the tallest person in the Yan Snake Tribe, and he does not have to worry about bumping his head when walking in it.

The passage is very clean, not only did not see small animals such as mice, but also did not see things like bugs.

This can't help but make Fengyun feel a little strange.

The tunnel is connected to the anthill, so it's fine if there are no other animals, and it's unreasonable not to see even a knife ant.

"The witch was worried that the sword ants would invade the tribe along the secret passage, so she sprinkled some medicinal powder that could expel the sword ants in the secret passage. These medicinal powders were specially developed by Wu for the sword ants. Although they cannot kill them, they will Make them very painful, and they will never enter the secret passage."

Mulanzhi explained to Fengyun while leading the way.

The secret path is very long.

According to Fengyun's estimation, its length should exceed fifteen miles.

Even if the physical fitness of the totem warrior is far beyond that of ordinary people, it is definitely a very difficult thing to dig such a long secret passage without letting others know about it.

Mulanzhi did not tell Fengyun about the origin of secret ways.

Fengyun didn't ask either.

Mulanzhi's ability to let him know the existence of this secret path is already a great trust in him, and it is not good to ask questions.

Came to the end of the passage.

Fengyun found that there were steps extending upwards, but the height of the steps had far exceeded the height of the secret passage, entering into an existence similar to a shaft.

Mulanzhi led the way and climbed the steps, Fengyun followed behind her.

After walking about thirty steps, a wooden board appeared above Mulanzhi's head, which was bigger than the table.

Mulanzhi lifted out the board with her hand and pushed it upwards.

In the next second, light was streaming in from the edge of the board.

Mulanzhi gently put the board aside and walked in.

Fengyun also walked out.

They found themselves in a room that was dimly lit.

Just now he saw light coming in from the edge of the wooden board, and it felt very bright, but it was actually because the secret passage was very dark.

Mulanzhi put the board back in place.

The appearance of the planks is deceptive, almost identical to the other planks used to pave the floor. Dote on your heart alone, the next wife's spring

If you don't know in advance that there is a secret passage under it, it is difficult to see through it.

Mulanzhi didn't stay in the room for long, after placing the boards, she walked to the other end of the room.

There are also some steps near the walls.

At the end of the steps, Mulanzhi stopped, and took out a finger-thick, less than a foot long wooden stick from the bag, with some notches on it.

I stuck one end of the stick into a small black hole in the wall, and fiddled with it for a while, a door appeared on the wall, and with a slight rubbing sound, the door opened.

"In the future, we really can no longer underestimate the wisdom of primitive people."

Seeing Mulanzhi open the door in such a strange way, Fengyun immediately realized that the wooden stick should be similar to the key.

Obviously, this is a kind of mechanism, and it should be more ingenious.

In the past, there was the sting mechanism that Yabai set up in the stone box containing the bright pearl, and now there is the lock-picking mechanism opened by Mulanzhi. Fengyun felt that it was absolutely necessary for him to pay attention to the wisdom of primitive people.

After crossing the portal, Fengyun came to a new room.

With a glance, Fengyun immediately felt an inexplicable familiarity.

He soon realized where the familiarity was coming from.

This room is located on the ground floor of the small building where the witch lives.

When leaving Baicao Tribe to go to Yan Snake Tribe, Mulanzhi once opened this room to take things. He stood at the door and took a look inside.

After closing the secret door and moving some things to cover it up, the two walked out of the room.

It was quiet outside the door, and no one was seen around.

Feng Yun didn't know if the people had something to do, or if the witch sent them away on purpose, but he didn't ask.

The two walked up the steps to the second floor.

As soon as the door was opened, Fengyun met the eyes of the witch.

Fengyun immediately understood that she should be waiting for him specially.

After the meeting, the witch didn't show any politeness, and asked Fengyun directly about the situation.

Fengyun didn't hesitate, and told the situation, but he didn't tell the witch everything.

For example, he didn't say anything about getting the bright pearl and the precious sword.

Even so, the witch nodded frequently, obviously she was very satisfied with his performance.

As for Mulanzhi who was sitting on the side, her eyes were shining, and she was looking at Fengyun with the urge to explore, like a child discovering a very novel toy.

Fengyun said it briefly, but just because he could kill three high-level totem warriors, Mulanzhi was greatly shocked.

In her memory, the senior totem warrior was a very powerful existence, almost invincible, let alone killed.

Ever since she could remember, she had never heard of several high-level totem warriors dying, and Fengyun killed three at once.

If she hadn't trusted Fengyun very much and believed that he wouldn't just talk about it, she would definitely not have believed it.

"Yun, during the recent period, I need to entertain reinforcements from various tribes. I will be too busy to teach you medical skills, but don't worry, I will never break my promise."

The witch smiled apologetically.

"Well, how about this. You follow Lanzhi first and let her teach you some things. When I have time, I will teach you myself."

The witch beckoned to Mulanzhi, motioning her to arrange him. (To be continued.)
